559 Divine Calculation (1/2)
”Senior Twiger feels even nicer to touch like this!” Hu Ling'er said to Qin Mu with a serious face. The little fox had gone to touch twice, and she felt that he was quite chubby.
Qin Mu was slightly worried that his senior brother won't be able to stop himself and grow fat from eating too many Gold Water Mixed Vitality Pills.
However, the black tiger god was his senior brother and had followed Saint Woodcutter much longer. On top of that, he was a famous god, so as a junior brother, Qin Mu wasn't really in a place to say anything.
Even if he asked the black tiger god to eat fewer Mixed Vitality Pills, he reckoned he wouldn't listen to him. The black tiger god listened more to the dragon qilin than him.
'I should let Saint Woodcutter have the headache.'
Qin Mu turned around and saw trails of devil qi rushing into the sky. Some of it was in the form of lotuses and some were like clouds. There were also some shaped like peacocks and devil gods. All of these were apparitions formed by the vital qi of the devil experts.
To be able to create them, they had to be experts of Celestial Being Realm or even above!
Yet the strong devil practitioners didn't rush over to kill them. It was as if they were waiting for something.
”An expert of Divine Bridge Realm has arrived!”
Qin Mu focused his gaze and suddenly saw a divine bridge stretching dozens of miles across the sky. A devil god primordial spirit walked through it with the celestial palaces of the devil path above him. This was the apparition of a strong practitioner of Divine Bridge Realm.
In Eternal Peace, those on Divine Bridge Realm were existences of cult master level. Their abilities had been the greatest, but that was in the past. After Qin Mu spread the method to repair the divine bridge and enter the celestial palaces, one could only be considered an expert of the cult master level once they became a god.
However, the divine arts practitioners of Divine Bridge Realm were still extremely powerful existences. If they gave chase, only the black tiger god could protect the group from harm!
In a bit, Qin Mu saw a second divine bridge, followed by a third and a fourth...
More and more strong practitioners of Divine Bridge Realm appeared behind them. They had all kinds of primordial spirits, and their locations on the divine bridges were different, representing different levels of cultivation.
The primordial spirits looked at them from afar as beams of devil light kept sweeping past them recklessly.
Yet even though so many strong practitioners of Divine Bridge Realm had come, they still didn't attack.
'They're waiting for an even stronger existence to descend!' Qin Mu narrowed his eyes and looked away while thinking, 'The only ones stronger than the divine bridge practitioners will be devil gods who had entered the celestial palaces! It's just that there's no way to know if the devil god that's hurrying over has crossed Southern Heavenly Gate or not...”
He took a look at the black tiger god who was lying on the chest with the dragon qilin. Ever since the two had found a common topic, they had become lazy. The black tiger god was always lying on the chest and whispering something with the dragon qilin.
Qin Mu felt an uneasiness brewing in his heart. 'Hope the one that comes hasn't crossed Southern Heavenly Gate yet...'
With a worried expression, Sang Hua said in a low voice, ”Brother Cult Master, if we continue heading forward, we'll soon reach the frontlines There are numerous strong devil practitioners there.”
Qin Mu's mind shook. He instantly knew what the devils were waiting for.
'There are numerous strong practitioners in front of us, and with the pursuers chasing behind, they will be able to pincer us, making it hard for us to take care of both our front and back. The devils behind are not waiting for the devil god since they're among them already, waiting for us to fall into the trap!'
Qin Mu composed himself and came to the side of the chest. The black tiger god and the dragon qilin were muttering something, but when they saw him coming, they immediately shut their mouths.
Qin Mu told them about his guess and said solemnly, ”Senior Brother Tiger, the more we go forward, the closer we get to the frontlines, and the more dangerous it gets for us! When we come close enough, there will definitely be a devil god that will lead an army to block our path. Meanwhile, from the back, another devil god will block our retreat! If we are pincered between the two sides, we will be vanquished!”
The black tiger god stood up like a huge cat and said solemnly, ”Great strategy! However, they're looking down on me! I had followed my lord to conquer the north and south and experienced countless battles. I've earned fame by bathing in the blood of my enemies! After my lord turned into a rock, I had also fallen into slumber. Looks like these devil brats have forgotten about my awe! Don't be afraid. When we're a thousand miles away from the frontlines, call me!”
Qin Mu opened his mouth, but didn't speak.
The black tiger god lay down again, then raised his head after a moment. ”Do you still have any spirit herbs? The ones you gave me were all refined into pills. Give me some more; I can kill better with a full stomach.”
Qin Mu took out some spirit herbs from his taotie sack, just enough for one furnace. He handed them over and said, ”Senior Brother Tiger, don't eat too much, be careful of becoming like Fatty Dragon.”
The black tiger god laughed, looking rather conceited. ”You're underestimating me. I can dissolve these spirit pills just by cultivating and won't have any excess flab. I know my limits. I shall show you how awe-inspiring I am later!”
”Sister Hua, how far are we from the frontlines?” Qin Mu inquired.
Sang Hua took out a geographic map and searched around it. She took out a ruler and measured. ”This is... Cloud Gathering Mountain. We are still four thousand miles away.”
Qin Mu looked at the ratio and measured the distance himself. He shook his head and said, ”Four thousand two hundred and sixty-one miles.”
”Why do you need to be so accurate for?” Sang Hua asked with a smile.
Qin Mu shook his head. 'It's because the algebra of your Supreme Emperor Heaven is so lousy. Even your sun was forged so crookedly that it's unbearable to look at.'
Of course, he couldn't say this directly in her face.
Ling Yuxiu and Si Yunxiang called Sang Hua over the moment she was free. The three girls chatted noisily and exchanged pointers on the paths, skills, and divine arts of Supreme Emperor Heaven and Eternal Peace.
