733 When Words Get Sour (1/2)
Qin Mu still hadn't come back to his senses from hearing that Yin Chaojin was Son of Heaven Yin when that Brother Qin that Yin Chaojin mentioned walked over. He bowed to Qin Mu and the old bull. ”My name is Qin Kai, a wanderer, nice to meet both of you.”
Qin Mu suppressed the shock in his heart, and he hurriedly returned the greeting. Niu Sanduo also hurriedly return the greeting.
When Qin Mu greeted him back, he sneaked a glance at the old bull, and the old bull nodded his head gently.
Qin Mu understood that this 'Brother Qin' was the Founding Emperor that the old bull had mentioned, he was the first name of the Qin family register, Founding Emperor Qin Ye!
He had named himself Qin Kai and didn't use his real name. He must have realized he might have returned to some time in the past through the peculiarity on the Surging River; thus, he was careful and used a fake name.
Qin Mu raised his head to examine Founding Emperor, and he was truly somewhat similar looking to the young Founding Emperor. They were both tall and sturdy, and even though they weren't as handsome as the young Son of Heaven Yin, they both looked prim and proper.
However, because Qin Mu had lived in Disabled Elderly Village when he was young, his inner nature was crafty, though, he looked sincere and radiant like a big boy that was in his youth and knew nothing of the worldly affairs.
On the other hand, Founding Emperor had a manly air, and with just a look, one would be attracted by his unique traits.
His bearing wasn't the bearing of a leader that the old bull had mentioned. Instead, it was the bearing of someone who had braved through the hardships of beginning an undertaking and whose original aspiration could never be shaken even after thousands of twists and turns.
That was a bearing that a person with an unwavering Dao heart and a magnificent goal possessed. Even though Founding Emperor was standing on the back of the big kun, even though there were numerous people around him, even though the scenery was fleeting by beside him, he seemed to be standing in the center of heaven and earth. Everything was moving, and only he remained motionless.
It wasn't because he wasn't moving, what wasn't moving was his Dao heart and the perseverance in his heart.
Qin Mu's heart was doubtful. Such a Founding Emperor could be that Founding Emperor who was hiding in Carefree Village and afraid of making a comeback?
Founding Emperor's gaze was bright, and the light in his eyes was like a serene lake being shone on by the afternoon sun. His shoulders were slighter wider than Qin Mu, and he seemed to be slightly shorter. He must have suffered when he was a youth.
When he saw the elder with a blurry face returning his greeting, Founding Emperor couldn't help growing slightly astonished.
Even though he couldn't see the realm of this elder, he must have been a famous existence in the celestial heavens. Why would such an existence bow back respectfully to him?
Son of Heaven Yin Chaojin made introductions. ”I have just met Brother Qin as I came up to the upper bound, his skills are astonishing, and he is extraordinary. How do I address both senior brothers?”
Qin Mu said with a smile, ”My name is Mu Qing. This is my senior brother, his surname is Niu, his name is Ben.”
”Niu Ben?”
The old cow's expression changed slightly, and luckily for him, there was Benevolent Saintly King Equal to Heaven's yellow joss paper, so his change in expression couldn't be seen. He thought to himself, 'Back then, when Founding Emperor first founded the celestial heavens, he had once smiled and told me he wanted to change my name. He said I shouldn't be called Sanduo, I should be called Niu Ben. Could he have realized it was me back then?'
Qin Mu didn't know what he was thinking, and he looked warmly at Son of Heaven Yin while thinking. 'If I kill Son of Heaven Yin now, will the future Son of Heaven Yin disappear? The Son of Heaven Yin now isn't an expert on Emperor's Throne. He's not even a god, it should be easy to kill him...'
Son of Heaven Yin saw Qin Mu looking at him and immediately smiled. ”Brother Mu, this is the first distinguished meeting of the celestial heavens, countless young talents from worlds of all sizes have come, and those who can attend are all recognizable figures from their worlds, people like us are just small fries.”
Qin Mu said with a smile, ”I may be a small fry, but Brother Yin is a big figure.”
Son of Heaven Yin hurriedly acted humble, but he still couldn't hide his pleased expression. ”I may be a little famous in that poor countryside of mine, but I still can't be compared to the others.”
Qin Mu said firmly, ”I see Brother Yin will definitely not remain a common person in the future, you will definitely achieve meteoric success in the future!”
Founding Emperor's gaze flickered, and he said with a smile, ”I also feel that way. Even though Brother Yin isn't famous now, we can deduce a lot from seeing a little now. Brother Yin will definitely be world famous in the future.”
Son of Heaven Yin was overwhelmed by the favor, and he said, ”Celestial Emperor still wants to give a name to the celestial heavens, thus he summoned all of the ancient gods in the world. We won't be able to curry favor with the ancient gods, but I have a wide network of friends. Many gentries from all races have come this time, and that includes those few talents that created the cultivation of divine treasures. These few aren't ancient gods, but they can be said to even surpass ancient gods. They created divine treasures, and only then were we able to cultivate.”
Qin Mu's heart trembled violently. The existences that had created the cultivation system of divine treasures?
Wasn't the cultivation system of divine treasures created by the ancient gods?
He looked at Founding Emperor, and Founding Emperor was equally agitated.
Could they finally meet the people that had created the cultivation system of divine treasures?
Son of Heaven Yin said with a smile, ”They are now at Jade Pool, and they plan to host a Jade Pool Meeting. Celestial Emperor and the rest will be hosting a Celestial Heavens Meeting while we will host a Jade Pool Meeting. Even though it won't be as grand as Celestial Heavens Meeting, we can't miss it! Rumors say that Celestial Venerable Yu is going to announce something big, news that would astonish everyone!”
Founding Emperor said with a smile, ”Since Brother Yin's network of friends is so vast, could you first leak some news to us?”
Son of Heaven Yin hesitated for a moment, and he suppressed his voice to say mysteriously, ”According to the rumors, Celestial Venerable has already comprehended a method for us divine arts practitioners to become gods! In this Jade Pool Meeting, he wants to announce this!”
Qin Mu cried out, ”The method to become god? There were no divine arts practitioners that had cultivated to god before?”
Son of Heaven Yin and Founding Emperor looked at him with weird expressions.
Qin Mu instantly knew he had said something wrong and he blushed. ”I'm from the countryside, so I'm not as knowledge, please don't laugh at me. I always thought there were gods in the celestial heavens.”
Founding Emperor looked at him with a smile that was not a smile. Only then did he explain, ”The celestial heavens naturally have gods. Other than the ancient gods, there are also other kinds of gods, but these gods aren't from cultivation, they were born naturally strong. However, they all had their limits in lifespans, and once their lifespans are up, their souls would return to Youdu.”
Son of Heaven Yin pat his hands heavily, and he said with a smile, ”That's the reason! Brother Mu doesn't have much understanding in this field, so it's no wonder you don't know. Actually, they are only half-gods, and it's from their bloodlines. Most of them are descendants of ancient gods, and because of their pure bloodline, they have remarkable abilities, but they aren't immortal like the ancient gods. Furthermore, they don't rely on cultivation, they rely on growth.”
”Growth?” Qin Mu was even puzzled.
