783 Mother Earths Blessing (2/2)
Celestial Venerable Yu hurriedly went to check for his breath when another two small fountains spewed out from Qin Mu's nose again, scaring him. He was delighted. ”My brother is still alive!”
Gongsun Yan also went forward to check for the beating of Qin Mu's heart. She felt that his heartbeat was weak, and he lacked both qi and blood. His life was dangling on a line, and he was in an extremely precarious state.
Gongsun Yan gritted her teeth, and that tiny green sapling in the light behind her head flew out to land in the heart of Qin Mu's brows. Light flowed and entered Qin Mu's body to extend his life.
After a moment, Qin Mu's breath gradually stabilized. However, that small sapling seemed to become listless. The only two leaves fused back together and it shrunk.
Gongsun Yan's face was slightly pale. She took back the small sapling and continued to nourish it in the light.
Qin Mu's spell was broken, and the Gate of Heaven Influence was dispersed. Heaven Duke's power instantly vanished and heavenly light no longer shone down.
The woman in the light hurriedly restrained his soul particles, and she felt her heaven soul recovering partially. However, it was still far from being complete, and she sighed in pity.
Qin Mu gradually woke up, and he stood up under Celestial Venerable Yu's support. He coughed up the blood in his throat, and his breath was weak. ”I'm okay, I'm fine. I can still continue to cast the spell...”
”Great Wizard doesn't have to be too anxious.”
The woman in the light said gently, ”You have overexerted yourself when casting the spell just now, and as a result, it has surpassed the limits of your body. Now that your qi and blood are emptied, if you continue casting, you will die from exhaustion. If you died from exhaustion, where am I going to find another great wizard that could revive me? I can wait, Great Wizard can just relax and nurse your injuries.”
She said with a smile, ”I see Great Wizard's cultivation is already at the peak of the Celestial Being Realm, any step forward and you will be able to open up Youdu and enter the Life and Death Realm. I reckon Great Wizard will be able to cast your spell freely when you reach the Life and Death Realm. You can reconstruct my soul then.”
Qin Mu suddenly coughed violently, and he gasped for breaths. He said sorrowfully, ”Junior is dumb, and I don't know how long will I take to cultivate to the Life and Death Realm. Now that I'm severely exhausted, I'm afraid I'll let Mother Earth down...”
The woman in the light said with a smile, ”As Mother Earth, Yuandu is the source of life. Your qi and blood being exhausted is nothing to me. Since you are helping me to reconstruct my two souls, I can't shortchange you.”
From the light, a fruit that was already shriveled up flew to Qin Mu's face.
This fruit was like a tangerine dried in the sun. There was no moisture at all, and it was wrinkly.
The woman in the light said, ”This is a fruit born from the divine tree behind my back. Even though it has already withered, the power inside is still like an ocean. Save it first, don't try to eat it, slowly use your vital qi to digest it. This will help you raise your cultivation realm even faster so that you can open up the Life and Death Divine Treasure. The power inside the fruit is too powerful, you won't be able to take it if you eat it directly.”
Qin Mu's body swayed as he struggled to give his thanks.
The woman in the light waved her hand and said, ”I'm only giving you this treasure because you are saving me. If you were useless to me, I wouldn't even look at you. Great Wizard, go and rest first. Come and cast your spell again once you cultivate the Life and Death Divine Treasure.”
In the light, an arc ray flew over and landed behind Qin Mu's head to transform into a halo. That shriveled up fruit landed in the halo.
”I once blessed a few people out of the Seven Celestial Venerables, and I still haven't blessed you. This blessing is for you to have continuous good fortune, to never age, and to never die.
The woman in the light said with a smile, ”With my blessing, it will be easier for you to digest this fruit.”
Qin Mu felt pure waves of energy flooding into his divine treasures, and his qi and blood gradually recovered. He hurriedly gave his thanks.
”Yan'er, send Great Wizard to rest, don't neglect my guest.”
Gongsun Yan acknowledged and escorted Qin Mu and Celestial Venerable Yu out. This celestial palace was too huge, and they had to walk a long time before getting out of the palace.
Coming out of the palace, the water qilin came up to greet Qin Mu only to be shocked when he saw him covered in bloodstains. Celestial Venerable Yu hurriedly asked, ”Ah Shui, where's Fatty Dragon?”
The water qilin was full of envy as he said, ”He went to mingle with the qilins and the dragon.”
Qin Mu said weakly, ”My body is weak now, so I can't call him, which one of you is going to get him?”
The water qilin was about to shout for the dragon qilin when Gongsun Yan hurriedly said, ”Be careful of alarming those High Emperors in those coffins. Let us walk over and call him back.”
Celestial Venerable Yu supported Qin Mu and placed him on the back of the water qilin. The water qilin thought to himself, 'Why does the dragon qilin's master look like he had his vitality plucked from him over a thousand times? How did he become so weak?'
They walked out, and that phoenix suddenly transformed into a woman with phoenix eyes. She followed behind them.
Qin Mu took a glance at her and asked weakly, ”Big sister, why are you following us?”
That phoenix said without any expression, ”Mother Earth's orders, she wanted me to ensure your safety.”
Qin Mu gave his thanks and asked, ”Does big sister eat spirit pills? I'll make some for big sister once my body is better.”
The eyes of that phoenix lit up, and she smiled. ”You are much more sensible than this water beast here.”
The water qilin grunted, and he grumbled to himself, blaming Celestial Venerable Yu for not knowing how to make pills.
That phoenix asked casually, ”You guys are planning to go out?”
Qin Mu said carefully, ”The yin aura in this earthly palace is too strong, there are too many emperor's corpses here. My body is too weak now, so I need to recuperate outside.”
The phoenix said, ”You can go out but not too far.”
Qin Mu's brain started to operate, and he thought to himself, 'I wonder what the cultivation of this Sister Phoenix is. If her cultivation is too high and I can't poison her, I will be in trouble... How do I leave this place?'
He coughed repeatedly and suddenly asked, ”There are so many gods outsides, and there's even someone impersonating Mother Earth. How is Sister Phoenix's cultivation? Are you a match for those bad guys?”
That phoenix said, ”I'm already on the Numinous Sky Realm, I'm not afraid of those scum. However, Mother Earth said to let those fellows do as they please first and that she will settle everything once she's revived!”
Qin Mu's expression dimmed. 'Her cultivation is so high, I probably can't poison her to death. If Grandpa Apothecary was around, that would be good...'
