698 Imperial Gate Divine Knife (1/2)

Qi Jiuyi slid down the wall, and the astonishment on his face still couldn't be wiped off. He stared at the huge head that had popped out from the door.

It was a head that had a human face and yet two strange mountain goat's horns. There was a tuff of mountain goat bead under his chin, and his mouth reeked of alcohol. He burped and looked at them curiously.

Qin Mu said courteously, ”Senior, we are from Eternal Peace and have entered this place by mistake, alarming senior. May I ask senior, how can we get out of this place?”

The goat-horned man covered up his shirt and walked out from the door. He was much taller than Qin Mu and Qi Jiuyi, and even taller than the dragon qilin. With a solemn expression, he lowered his head and examined them. His gaze fell on the dragon qilin, and he swallowed his saliva. ”It's been so long since I've eaten meat, it's a pity you guys are primordial spirits and there's no flesh... You're from Eternal Peace? What kind of place is Eternal Peace?”

From his outfit, he wasn't someone from the current times. He wore the outfit of an ancient era.

The vein lines of his lean muscles weren't as sturdy as the green bull, but it gave people a feeling that he was capable and experienced—a terrifying feeling of threat.

Furthermore, he wasn't a mountain goat that had turned intelligent. From the swirly markings of all sizes on his body, he should have been a primordial spirit of a god. However, his primordial spirit had already cultivated into a physical state. They didn't know if he was the primordial spirit that was guarding the knife.

Cultivating one's primordial spirit to a physical state was no ordinary feat, and it was obvious his cultivation was extremely high.

Qin Mu asked suspiciously, ”Is senior a person from Founding Emperor Era? In that case, do you know about the Great Ruins?”

”The Great Ruins? Of course, I know. Founding Emperor ordered me to use the divine knife to slash one corner of Youdu and used it to construct. Founding Emperor said to cleave out a small Fengdu world that is about the size of the Great Ruins.”

That goat-horned man let out a breath reeking of alcohol and asked, ”Where is Eternal Peace? What year is it?”

”Senior is the creator of Fengdu?”

Qin Mu's mind trembled violently, and he hurriedly said, ”Eternal Peace is on the east of the Great Ruins, and Founding Emperor Era already ended twenty thousand years ago. Eight hundred years ago, Eternal Peace was founded, and now we are in the midst of reform. Senior is a god under...”

The goat-horned man seemed to be slightly intoxicated, and he muttered, ”Founding Emperor Era already ended twenty thousand years ago? Hehe, it's no wonder too, I think I've already been here for seven to eight million years... I'm under Founding Emperor, Heavenly Emperor Stars Left Assistant Minister, my surname is Tian, and my name is Shu. However, you wouldn't know me anyway.”

He turned around and returned to his room to take out a big wine jar. He raised his head and started gulping down the wine.

Only then did Qin Mu notice that his legs weren't human legs as well. Instead, they were bent goat legs that grew a pair of hooves. Because his stature was very tall, his hooves were very big as well.

”Founding Emperor Celestial Heavens? Heavenly Emperor Stars Left Assistant Minister?”

Qi Jiuyi's expression changed slightly, and he thought to himself, 'A remaining survivor of the fake dynasty!'

Qin Mu was puzzled. ”Senior, you are also in a primordial spirit form, right? Could it be that you aren't actually here? Where could your corporeal body be?”

Tian Shu drank a big mouthful of that jar of fine wine and just shattered the wine jar. Qin Mu immediately noticed that after the wine jar shattered, it returned to normal quickly and there was actually a jar full of fine wine which was giving off a nice fragrance.

The wine jar flew through the sky and returned into the room.

”It's hard to say with a few words.”

Tian Shu's expression dimmed, and he returned into the room to take some wine. While being slightly intoxicated, he asked, ”You are a descendant of Founding Emperor, am I right? I can feel Founding Emperor's bloodline on you, and your appearance is also slightly similar to him. That little chicken you brought along should be the nine-headed phoenix race of that so-called celestial heavens. Hehe, Southern Heaven Red Deity Qi Xiayu is pretty remarkable eh, she just had to like Li Youran that rascal...”

He raised his head to drink again before smashing the broken jar. Only then did he continued his story. ”Back then, when Founding Emperor was creating the divine knife, he had conferred to me the title of God of Knife. I could enter and exit Youdu freely, so I was to cleave a portion of Youdu to forge Fengdu and thus, I chopped off a small chunk of Earth Count's horn. Founding Emperor wanted to go Carefree Village, so he ordered me to stay guard at the Imperial Gate to prevent the darkness of the Great Ruins from invading other places, which is the Eternal Peace you had mentioned.”

Qin Mu blinked his eyes and looked at Qi Jiuyi.

Qi Jiuyi was bewildered, and it was obvious he didn't know about the secret either.

'Should I kill Brother Qi to silence him?' Qin Mu thought while wearing a smile on his face.

Left Assistant Minister Tian Shu sighed and said, ”However, I have a problem, and that is I like to drink. Without wine, I'm unhappy. When I was on guard here, I always wanted to drink, yet I couldn't find the face to leave and search for wine. One day, my old rival, which is the Left Assistant Minister of the celestial heavens called Yan Shaoqing. That bad guy wanted to gamble with me, and the prize was a wine that couldn't be finished. This fellow was hard to deal with usually, and yet he lost to me. This guy was truly bad as he used some method to hide the fine wine in Imperial Gate Divine Knife before leaving with a chuckle. I clearly knew it was a trap, yet I couldn't control my mouth. When I can't control my mouth, I can't control my head as well.”

Qin Mu took a glance at the dragon qilin and said, ”I understand this feeling of senior very well.”

”You also like to drink?”

Tian Shu shook his head and said, ”You probably don't like drinking, when you saw the wine, you had no desire. I couldn't sit still and kept wanting to enter Imperial Gate Divine Knife to take out the wine to have a good drink. However, I also knew the Imperial Gate Divine Knife was very powerful, and it could swallow the primordial spirit of a person. I'm only a knife bearer and not the person who made the knife, even if I'm not careful, my primordial spirit would also fall into the knife and be unable to break free. However, I really couldn't resist any longer, and I felt since I had controlled the knife for quite a long period of time, I might just be able to return to my own body after taking the wine out...”

The dragon qilin couldn't resist asking, ”What next?”

Tian Shu sighed and said, ”And then I couldn't return any longer. That Scoundrel Yan Shaoqing was right; I can never finish this wine...”

The shattered jar on the ground recovered, and it was still full of wine.

”I've been drinking here for seven to eight million years, yet I can never finish, and I can never walk out.”
