858 Founding Elders of the Heaven Alliance (2/2)

Qin Mu stood up and went looking in the Heavenly Yin World.

The sand ships of Heavenly Yin World filled with Metal of Heavenly Yin were sailing out one by one, following the flow of the celestial river and sailing towards Eternal Peace.

Qin Mu boarded one of the ships to make a query, and the divine arts practitioner who was guarding the sand ships replied, ”It's by order of the Imperial Preceptor for us to come and ship the Metal of Heavenly Yin. Imperial Preceptor said that today's Eternal Peace is divided, and the cities are struggling to defend themselves, and thus, he wanted us to gather the Metal of Heavenly Yin to forge the Sunshot Divine Cannon. Big cities especially are required to have one Sunshot Divine Cannon.”

”How are you going to deal with the medicinal stone problem?” Qin Mu asked.

”That I do not know.”

Qin Mu asked again, ”Is the journey safe?”

The divine arts practitioner replied, ”Dragon Rearing Sovereign has been leading the Dragon Kings of the river to protect the sand boats along the journey, so it's considered safe. Occasionally, some demons in the river will cause some trouble, and they have destroyed a few boats.”

Qin Mu nodded and let them leave.

In the Heavenly Yin World, standing before Goddess of Heavenly Yin's Heavenly Yin Palace that was located on the sea, Qin Mu looked out at the seaside. He saw many divine arts practitioners working hard, scooping sand out of the seawater, fishing out the Metal of Heavenly Yin from the sea, and transporting them to the outside world.

There were also a few cities at the seaside. The people of Eternal Peace and the Great Ruins lived there, staying away from the chaotic outside world. There were also quite a few divine arts practitioners teaching there, and the area was no longer quiet.

”For the Heavenly Yin World to be able to become what it is now, it's not something that I would have expected.”

Behind Qin Mu, black sand tossed and rolled around, forming the imposing figure of a man. The figure spoke, ”Eternal Peace is certainly extraordinary. If given time, how great and powerful can you all become? You have even made me feel fearful.”

Qin Mu turned around, smiling. ”I should have long realized that Your Majesty's black soul sand was hidden within the Heavenly Yin World. It was because Your Majesty's soul was hidden here that Goddess of Heavenly Yin died. Son of Heaven Yin wanted control over the Heavenly Yin World, but not because he wanted to go against Goddess of Heavenly Yin. He wanted to look after Your Majesty's dispersed soul. It was a pity that Goddess of Heavenly Yin didn't realize this and was thus blindsided by Son of Heaven Yin.”

Within the surging black soul sand, an indistinct figure could be seen. When it opened its mouth to speak, the black soul sand swelled outwards due to the tremor, yet it was ultimately unable to escape its restraints.

”Celestial Venerable Mu revived Goddess of Heavenly Yin, which means that you can also revive me. After you revived Goddess of Heavenly Yin, I realized that my chance was here. A pity that Celestial Venerable Mu being Celestial Venerable Mu, you are truly very difficult, always making a fool out of me.”

The figure in the black sand continued, ”But you weren't wrong, I am, after all, a deceased ancient god, you do have the right to negotiate with me, and the right to ally with me.”

Qin Mu looked him up and down, asking suddenly, ”Who gathered your soul for you?”

The figure in the black sand jolted slightly, smiling. ”Official, why do you ask that?”

”I founded the technique to revive souls. Whether or not someone gathered your soul for you, it just takes one look for me to know.”

Qin Mu continued indifferently, ”In this world, there aren't many who have the ability to revive ancient gods. In fact, there's only one, and that person is me. However, there are quite a few who can gather souls. Back in the day, I invited five people to come here to organize the runes system of the Heavenly Yin World. They were Yama of Fengdu, Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor, Xu Shenghua, First Ancestor Human Emperor, and Saint Woodcutter. After they perfected the runes system of Heavenly Yin World, they marked the runes on the cliff by the sea. Even with the runes system, to be able to deduce the technique of gathering souls would take more than a normal human's capabilities. To gather the soul of a celestial emperor would require an expert of experts even more. Who is this person?”

Celestial Emperor, who was within the black sand, remained silent.

At this moment, from the Heavenly Yin Palace, a figure walked out while smiling. ”It's me. Celestial Venerable Mu, it's been a long time since we've met. Do you still remember that moment when you plucked at my compass?”

Qin Mu's eyes widened as he looked towards that figure. A sloppy old Daoist walked out—his hair was a mess, and he didn't seem to care about his appearance—and his hand held a compass.

Although he looked extremely old and abjected, his gaze was extremely brilliant—it looked as though it contained boundless wisdom.

Qin Mu took a deep breath and smiled. ”Dao Ancestor, it's been a while.”

The sloppy old Daoist came forward to pay his respects. ”Old Daoist of Heaven Alliance pays my respect to Celestial Venerable Mu.”

Qin Mu's heart jolted, the corners of his eyes twitching, he cried out, ”Dao Ancestor, you are also part of the Heaven Alliance?”

The sloppy old Daoist laughed in reply, ”Celestial Venerable Mu must have met the old monk already? He is also one of the Founding Elders of the Heaven Alliance.”

Qin Mu felt light-headed.

Brahma Buddha was also part of the Heaven Alliance?

One of the incarnations of this Buddha had been staying in the Qin word land in the heart of his brow. Although he was napping, any events that occurred within the Qin word land wouldn't escape him!

Could it be that they were also involved in taking control of the celestial heavens?

Goddess of Heavenly Yin walked over. ”Everyone, please come inside the palace and rest.”

Qin Mu composed himself, following her into the Heavenly Yin Palace, he turned around. ”Fatty Dragon, Sister Yan'er, you guys stay outside. Brother Yu, you... follow me in!”

Celestial Venerable Yu followed behind him in a confused manner. Within the palace, everyone sat down casually. There was no distinction between the host and the guests.

Qin Mu calmed down, and he thought to himself, 'At most, we will fall out. I will just merge with Big Brother and transform into a small Earth Count, turning this place into Youdu, then lure Earth Count here to screw them all up!'

Thinking about it, he revealed a smile and laughed. ”When Dao Ancestor lured me to the Guardian Pavilion, it truly broadened my perspectives. So when did Dao Ancestor realize that the runes system of the Heavenly Yin World was already set up? And when did you come searching here? To nurture a disciple like Yan Qiling, it's not something you can achieve in just one or two years. Even if you revived Celestial Emperor, he too couldn't nurture such a remarkable disciple in such a short period of time.”

The sloppy old Daoist laughed. ”Celestial Emperor has one more piece of soul that has yet to disperse. It's hidden in the Celestial Heavens. This piece of soul of his is also one of the Founding Elders of the Heaven Alliance, so naturally, he has nurtured many disciples.”
