857 Celestial Venerable and the Celestial Emperor (2/2)

Just as he thought about it, a brilliant light flickered in the far distance. A swallow with a black back and a white belly flew out of the lights, landing on the ground and transforming into Yan Qiling as she stumbled for a bit.

Yan Qiling immediately noticed him, and she increased her alertness.

Qin Mu revealed a peaceful smile, yet at the same time, his sword pellet silently flew out of his taotie sack and tunneled underground.

Yan Qiling hurriedly took out a bare looking tree branch, which was only three inches tall, and stuck it into the ground. The branch immediately rooted itself into the ground, and countless roots started growing furiously and covering the whole underground.

The bit aboveground continued to branch out, and in no time, it grew into an enormous tree, towering at a few hundred yards in height.

”The Primordial Tree's branch?”

Qin Mu was surprised. He put away the sword pellet and smiled. ”Sister Yan Qiling, I really want to meet Celestial Emperor.”

Yan Qiling was at a loss for words. She raised her hand and uprooted the giant tree, which transformed back into a three-inch tall small branch.

”Celestial Venerable Mu...”

Qin Mu quickly waved his hand, signaling the dragon qilin to chase after Dragon King Tian. Turning back, he smiled. ”Sister Yan, you don't have to be so ceremonious. You can just call me Cult Master Qin. The title Celestial Venerable Mu is just a joke, Celestial Emperor may not take it seriously, and neither do I. The people of Eternal Peace, regardless of friend or foe, address me as Cult Master Qin.”

Yan Qiling hesitated for a moment. Striding forward to catch up with him, she said, ”Cult Master Qin, you originally viewed Celestial Emperor as an enemy, even giving his imperial edict to a black demon boar. You avoided him like the plague, so why are you proactively requesting an audience from his majesty this time?”

The dragon qilin ran in front of Dragon King Tian, and the eyes of this reanimated head immediately shone green. Drooling corpse liquid from his mouth, Dragon King Tian chased after them.

Qin Mu replied with a serious expression, ”I'm not requesting an audience, this is a meeting between equals. If Celestial Emperor still thinks so highly of himself, then there's no need to meet anymore.”

Yan Qiling frowned slightly.

Qin Mu laughed. ”In the past, Celestial Emperor wanted to control me and dominate me, how could I let him have what he wanted? That's why I avoided him like the plague. If his majesty could be a cooperator, an ally, then we can meet and have a chat.”

Yan Qiling sneered. ”Cult Master Qin, what is your level of cultivation? How dare you try to negotiate with Celestial Emperor? Not to mention you, even if the whole of Eternal Peace was tied together, they are still not qualified enough to negotiate with his majesty!”

Qin Mu smiled slightly. ”I am Celestial Venerable Mu, and I am the Son of Youdu. In my hands, I hold enough power to revive ancient gods, so why can't I negotiate with him? Furthermore, he is dead, and I am alive. Without me acting as a go-between, Earth Count wouldn't have tolerated him. I fear the first one who wants him dead is likely to be Earth Count! With me as the middleman, perhaps Earth Count might even let him go. Since you can't make the decision, you can just ask his majesty directly then.”

Yan Qiling hesitated. Gritting her teeth, she replied, ”I will go back and report this matter to his majesty...”

”There's no need.”

Qin Mu's gaze fell onto the halo at the back of her head, and he smiled. ”Why do you need to go back? Isn't Celestial Emperor constantly surveilling this place through his blessing? Am I right, your majesty?”

Yan Qiling was astonished, and the halo at the back of her head suddenly flickered. A face emerged in the halo, and it spoke calmly, ”Celestial Venerable Mu, we finally meet.”

Qin Mu asked the dragon qilin to continue luring Dragon King Tian's head, and then he replied, smiling, ”Dare I ask your majesty, are you willing to have a chat with me?”

The face in the halo was silent for a while. ”Heavenly Yin World, we will talk it out.”

Qin Mu's heart jolted slightly, then he nodded and replied, ”Two months later, we will meet in Heavenly Yin World.”

The face in the halo at the back of Yan Qiling's head dissipated like smoke.

Yan Qiling sighed in relief, though her gaze was vigilant.

Qin Mu smiled gently. ”Don't guard against him too much, be careful you may die inexplicably.”

Yan Qiling composed herself and bowed towards him sincerely. ”Thank you for your advice.”

Straightening up, she transformed into a swallow and flew off quickly, disappearing without a trace.

Qin Mu looked forwards. Another ruin appeared before him, and it was barren and desolate to the point that not even a half-god could be found—evidently, they were fearful of this place.

”Hopefully, this place can trap Dragon King Tian.”

In the Guardian Pavilion of the celestial heavens, Dao Master of the Dao Sect came to the top level, slashing off a piece of fine jade. Within the jade was the figure of Celestial Venerable Yu that was formed by countless runes.

”Didn't the celestial heavens just create a few Celestial Venerable Yus previously?”

Celestial Heaven Dao Master shook his head in puzzlement. As he took the fine jade down from the Guardian Pavilion, he said in a low voice, ”Why do they want to create another one now?”

Celestial Venerable Huo was waiting downstairs. Upon hearing what he said, he asked, ”Created a few Celestial Venerable Yus? When did this happen?”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Dao Master hurriedly laughed in reply, saying, ”The last time Celestial Venerable came, after you asked me to send Celestial Venerable Yu's runes to the creation divine weapon, a few ancient beings came here saying that they wanted to create a few Celestial Venerable Yus to play with.”

Celestial Venerable Huo was taken aback, he laughed coldly. ”These old things are all so erratic!”

Celestial Heaven Dao Master didn't dare to continue further. He smiled and said, ”Do I send this jade to the place with the creation divine weapon too?”

Celestial Venerable Huo nodded, his gaze flickering. ”Who came to ask this from you?”

Dao Master replied hurriedly, ”Celestial Venerable, give this old man a way out.”

Celestial Venerable Huo frowned but didn't push further. ”After it's created, send it to my palace... How many have they created in total?”

”Nine. If you add the one that was created originally, it's a total of ten.”

Dao Master laughed. ”If Celestial Venerable's one is added in, then there will be eleven.”
