650 Secrets of High Emperor (1/2)
First Ancestor was still very weak. Even though the two huge eyeballs were very unreliable, they had actually succeeded in catalyzing all of the spirit pills in one go. The injuries of First Ancestor Human Emperor's primordial spirit had been lessened, and he was able to escape from the God Execution Knife on the God Execution Stage.
Of course, Qin Mu didn't know about this. If he did, he would definitely teach these two eyeballs a lesson.
First Ancestor stood up weakly, his body swaying. The injuries on his corporeal body were already healed, but his primordial spirit and celestial palace still had severe injuries. Luckily, his life was no longer in danger.
”Chi Xi's injuries are lighter than mine. His abilities are far above mine at the moment.”
First Ancestor Human Emperor said in a weak voice, ”I'm afraid I can't protect you.”
Qin Mu was unconcerned. ”Even if he knows you don't have many abilities, he won't dare to lay his hands on you. He doesn't dare to take a risk. When your injuries are fully healed, he won't dare to risk himself even more.”
First Ancestor Human Emperor shook his head. ”I'm not worried about him. It's the floating world. Are you confident that you can heal me before we enter the floating world?”
Qin Mu hesitated. He indeed didn't have the confidence that he could heal First Ancestor in a few months. The primordial spirit's injuries were extremely tricky, and he had no experience when it comes to injuries of the celestial palace. Furthermore, there weren't too many spirit herbs on this broken ship. Even though there was a variety of herbs in his taotie sack, he still lacked some crucial herbs.
If he wanted to heal First Ancestor, he had to go to the floating world and see if he was able to buy enough spirit herbs.
”Three Forms of Overturning Heaven deals too much damage to you. You cannot use it from now on,” Qin Mu instructed.
First Ancestor Human Emperor shook his head. ”I don't want to let Heavenly Teacher think I'm still an army deserter.”
Qin Mu was stunned. Just because he was once an army deserter, he had to carry the foul reputation of being an army deserter forever. It was indeed a little cruel.
”The reason why Heavenly Teacher said you are an army deserter might not be because you have run away from that battle.”
Qin Mu thought over it, and he deduced Saint Woodcutter's intention. ”After you have become an army deserter, you continued to run for twenty thousand years and never once did you face reality. You went into seclusion and shunned away from the mortal world. You wasted your time away and didn't work hard for anything or do anything successfully. You even didn't teach your disciple properly. He won't bear a grudge just because you have run away once. It's how you have run away for twenty thousand years that he cannot forgive.”
First Ancestor Human Emperor fell into a daze.
Qin Mu didn't speak again. He looked at the herb garden that had been trampled. These herbs could still be grown with Earth Aeon Creation Technique, but he still lacked numerous herbs.
His taotie sack bulged here and there as the two jade eyes rolled around. Qin Mu let out these two jade eyes, and they landed on the ground. They put their scrawny hands on the sides of their eyes and walked around to examine their surroundings.
”Brother, brother! There's a babe, a babe!”
Moon Jade Eye threw a glance at Ling Yuxiu and said excitedly, ”It's one of the two babes that had found us!”
The two eyeballs lighted up as they ogled Ling Yuxiu relentlessly. When they had their fill, only then were they satisfied.
Ling Yuxiu examined these two eyeballs in astonishment. She carefully walked around them then stopped beside Qin Mu. ”Ten Thousand Spirit Nature Technique?”
Qin Mu nodded.
”Why have you awakened their spirit?”
Ling Yuxiu said in a low voice, ”These two eyeballs are very powerful. Even ordinary gods can't block their gaze. If they rebelled, we can't restrain them at all. By the way, do they know they're very powerful?”
Qin Mu shook his head and whispered, ”They don't know. They're still worried I would smack them back into their original forms.”
Ling Yuxiu let out a sigh of relief. She recalled something and asked again, ”Do they know they are the eyes of a taotie? After you've awakened the chest, he was like a taotie that likes to eat anything. He even treated the dragon qilin as a corpse and ate him several times.”
Qin Mu shook his head. ”I don't know as well. They're very innocent.”
The two jade eyes rolled here and there as they chattered. They didn't know what they were gossiping about.
Ling Yuxiu approached them and said with a smile, ”From now on, you will be called Xiao'yang, and you will be called Xiao'yin, okay?”
”Okay!”
The two jade eyes said in unison, ”Babe!”
Ling Yuxiu returned to Qin Mu's side, and she whispered, ”These two eye monsters don't look that innocent. They called me 'babe' just now.”
The two eyes ran into a dense forest. After a moment, the forest caught on fire. Ling Yuxiu frantically stuffed the small case to Qin Mu, and she ran towards the burning trees. Her vital qi transformed into water dragons, extinguishing the fire in an instant.
The two huge eye monsters stood there, looking very pleased. ”I told you we could lure the babe with this method, right?”
”Brother is indeed smart!”
Ling Yuxiu was livid. The young girl wasted no time as she dragged the scrawny legs of these two eye monsters, and chucked them in front of Qin Mu. ”These two rascals almost burned the whole forest down! If you burn this place, we're all going to die miserably! Just smack them back into their original forms and save us from the trouble!”
”Great aunt, please spare our lives—” The two huge eyeballs knelt on the ground, their eyes facing the floor.
Qin Mu was troubled. ”I still need them to deliver medicine to First Ancestor's celestial palace, so I can't kill them yet—”
