819 Lets Do It Together! (2/2)

Qin Mu continued to explain, ”I allowed myself to follow the frequency of a substance similar to the ghost ship so the divine art from Celestial Venerable Ling would think that I'm part of the ghost ship. That way, I won't fade. Therefore, among those of us who boarded this ship, the ones who can stay will be you and me. Do you understand now?”

Zhe Huali stared with his eyes wide open again. The demon knife behind him also stared with a blank look.

”I understand.”

Zhe Huali's expression returned to normal, and he said firmly, ”Listening to one sentence from you surpasses studying for ten years. Cult Master Qin's wisdom is truly supreme, impressive, impressive!”

Qin Mu was very gratified.

The demon knife behind Zhe Huali's back was still in a daze. It hadn't come back to its senses.

'If I say I don't understand, isn't he going to underestimate me again?'

Zhe Huali thought to himself, 'Facing these maniacs in research, I have to act like I know even if I don't. Anyway, the fact that I have shallow knowledge won't be revealed as long as I don't interrupt.'

”And there's one excellent chance to leave this ship!”

Qin Mu became more and more excited. ”And that's when the change in substance is at its most violent! Which is the most violent period? That would be the first time the ghost ship time travels. At that time, all of the Feathered Forest Guards on the ship faded into the void, and the ghost ship also faded into the void! If my guess is correct, I'm afraid that Black Tortoise, Vermillion Bird, Green Dragon, and White Tiger—these four ancient great deities—also boarded the ship at that time, leaving behind their seals!”

Zhe Huali rubbed his palms and praised, ”Brother Qin is truly outstanding!”

The demon knife behind his back was still in a daze.

Qin Mu said in delight, ”Senior Brother Zhe Huali is truly the one who understands me, you got it immediately. When the four deities came to investigate the Feathered Forest Guards traveling through time, they boarded this ship and invoked the huge change in the substance of this ship. The Feathered Forest Guards faded into the void completely and fell into a state where they couldn't be observed. The divine art of Celestial Venerable Ling completely burst forth and clashed with the four deities. At that point in time, we will borrow the power of the four deities to solve Celestial Venerable Ling's divine art! As long as it's solved, we will be able to rescue those people who faded into the void and return back to our own time!”

Zhe Huali only understood the last sentence, and he asked with a face full of smiles, ”Cult Master Qin, what should we do?”

”Preserve our lives!”

Qin Mu's expression was solemn, and he said faintly, ”Preserve our lives in this period of time. Am I right, Lin Xiao?”

Zhe Huali felt astonished, and he looked around. Suddenly, his gaze fell onto a lantern hanging on the ship mast.

The door on the lantern opened up, and a tiny bird-headed human stood inside. Behind him was his bright sun.

That tiny human rubbed his palms together and praised, ”As expected of Celestial Venerable Mu, one of the nine great celestial venerables! In just a few small cycles, you have thought of the solution. I've tried Prince Qiu Ming's method of killing all of the unchanging constants, but it didn't work. The only way to break free of this ship is probably your method.”

Qin Mu said with a smile, ”Yet, as Celestial Empress' trusted aide, you can't let anyone escape this ship to prevent the secret from getting out.”

The tiny human sighed. ”That is the reason. All of the unchanging constants have to die, they must die.”

Qin Mu suddenly asked, ”In that case, Lin Xiao, do you still remember how many cycles you have been on this ship for?”

The tiny human in the lantern was slightly stunned, and he didn't understand what Qin Mu was asking.

Qin Mu said with a smile, ”Every time this ship goes through a small cycle, there will be a batch of people boarding the ship. This shows that the people on the ship won't truly die. After they die or fade into the void, they will still come back to life after the next big cycle and board the ship again. The substance on this ship is constant, it won't increase, decrease, change, or move—this is Celestial Venerable Ling's divine art. In that case, when you bring Jue Wuchen on board this ship again, would the you now still exist?”

The light in the lantern suddenly became incomparably intense, and the tiny bird-headed human became slightly impatient and uneasy.

Qin Mu smiled and said leisurely, ”When that time comes, the you now will vanish and become the you who had just come on board. You will bring Jue Wuchen on board with your comrades and repeat everything you had done. How many times have you repeated that now?”

The tiny human in the lantern smiled. ”I remember all of the cycles...”

”No, you don't.”

Qin Mu revealed a look of disdain. ”If you remember, I would remember how many big cycles I have been through. All of the unchanging constants would. Yet they were killed time and again by you, so you obviously don't remember, and they obviously don't remember either. The only one with some memory is Dragon Count, which is that crazy old dragon that has fused with this ship. However, even his memory isn't complete.”

The pupils of the tiny human in the lantern contracted, and he suddenly laughed and clucked like a hen. ”Yet you are about to die very soon. After thirty-six cycles, you will be revived and be killed by me once again!”

The light in the lantern shone brightly as the sun inside swirled. A terrifying wave swept over and shattered where Qin Mu stood into smithereens!

The tiny human in the lantern rushed over and saw that Qin Mu and Zhe Huali had vanished!

Qin Mu executed his teleportation divine art to teleport away with Zhe Huali. He said quickly, ”This guy has severed his cultivation, but he is still as strong as a god. He could take one of Village Chief's blows and not die. We need to find a safe place to hide until he resets! When that time comes, he won't remember us anymore...”

Suddenly, a beam of light swept over and vaporized everything it passed by. The tiny human in the lantern chuckled. ”Hide? I know this ship like the back of my hand, where can you hide?”

Zhe Huali shook his head and said, ”Cult Master Qin, if we work together, can you not kill the hen dragon?”

Qin Mu was stunned and looked him carefully in the eyes before shaking his head. ”If I work together with Xu Shenghua, I can fight a god. However, you aren't Xu Shenghua.”

Zhe Huali grunted, and his fighting spirit was ignited. ”I'm inferior to Xu Shenghua? Don't underestimate me!”
