872 Entering the Path Through Worldly Affairs (2/2)
”Does young master eat devil gods?” Yan'er caught a devil god that was as big and sturdy as a mountain, trying to tempt him.
Qin Mu shook his head.
Yan'er was very disappointed and she ate the devil god herself. She flew off and returned with a god, tempting him again, ”Does young master eat gods?”
Qin Mu shook his head.
Yan'er burped after eating her fill.
They reached Jade Capital Academy. Wang Muran's Jade Capital Academy was slightly inferior as compared to the other academies. Back then it was the most famous and the number one sacred ground of Eternal Peace - it had fallen backwards as it was too detached, and it had not been able to reform at the first moment, and had used the profound and long-lasting foundation of Little Jade Capital to attract scholars here.
Yet, Qin Mu had met First Ancestor Human Emperor here - other than the First Ancestor, the past human emperors had actually came here to be its directorate and to teach the scholars.
Little Jade Capital was originally a broken part of the celestial heavens of the Founding Emperor - it was of deep sentimental value to the First Ancestor, and back then when he became dispirited, he had turned into a stone statue at this very place.
Second Ancestor, Third Ancestor, Human Emperor Qi Kang and the others were all the most outstanding geniuses since the twenty thousand years after the destruction of the Founding Emperor. Now that they had revived and reemerged, they were naturally even more formidable than they were back then.
These human emperors had actually all reopened their celestial river divine treasure - their abilities were truly extremely strong.
Further, they continued to be the main forces of Fengdu and thus drew many to Jade Capital Academy.
First Ancestor Human Emperor had also moved the Jade Brightness Palace collections over to Little Jade Capital, greatly increasing the progress of Jade Capital Academy.
Qin Mu brought Celestial Venerable Yu here to seek knowledge, after more than a dozen days, he had finished learning all the results of the reforms while Celestial Venerable Yu had not, and thus he could only wait here for him.
”Human Emperor Qin, you seem to care a lot about this little fatty.”
Human Emperor Qi Kang carelessly rubbed 'Little Fatty''s chubby face, squeezing Celestial Venerable Yu's mouth into a flower shape and he laughed, ”Could it be that you plan to groom him as the next generation's Human Emperor?”
Qin Mu's eyes lit up, he had not actually given thought to what he should plan for Celestial Venerable Yu.
He merely did not want to disappoint Elder Messenger of Death - he wanted to groom Celestial Venerable Yu into an existence that was not inferior to his past life and would once again become the Celestial Venerable who would astonish the world.
However, Qin Mu could not possibly always take Celestial Venerable Yu along with him - perhaps he could nurture Celestial Venerable Yu into becoming the next generation's Human Emperor.
”Each generation of the Human Emperor is more powerful than the previous one.”
Human Emperor Qi Kang smiled broadly, ”Do you think that in future he would be able to defeat you?”
Qin Mu modestly replied, ”Our Hall of Human Emperors do have such a tradition, Brother Yu is also truly outstanding and extraordinary, he is way beyond me. However, I am the Overlord Body after all...”
Human Emperor Qi Kang sneered, ”Leave the little fatty here, all of us old fellows will teach him together. I guarantee he will be able to beat you - the Overlord Body - up until you cry out for your father and your mother!”
Qin Mu burst out laughing and actually really left Celestial Venerable Yu there, instructing, ”Don't teach him techniques, and don't teach him how to awaken the divine treasure. Whoever dares to teach him that, I will beat them up until they cry for their father and their mother!”
The past Human Emperors laughed coldly and intended to teach this master-deceiving and ancestor-destroying rascal a lesson - Qin Mu hurriedly called for dragon qilin, taking Yan'er along, and flew off with a whoosh.
”Young master, where are we going?” Yan'er saw that he was in high spirits and couldn't help but ask with a smile.
”East sea!” Qin Mu pointed in the far east and exclaimed loudly.
Yan'er asked curiously, ”Have young master grew tired of eating the gods and devils of the land? Do you want to eat seafood? The gods and devils of the sea have a fishy stench.”
”We are going to look for the Ruins of Ends!”
Qin Mu laughed lengthily, ”We are going to search for the tracks of Heavenly Saint Cult's Founding Master, Big Senior Brother Wei Suifeng, and see what kind of secrets he had left behind in the Ruins of Ends for me!”
Dragon qilin sprinted joyfully towards the East sea. When he reached the surface of the sea, they saw giant beasts trampling through the waves, frolicking about with joy.
Months later, dragon qilin floated on the surface of the sea with his belly sticking up towards the sky - no matter how Qin Mu beat him he refused to get up to continue the journey.
'Based on the maritime geographical map that Qu'er gave me, the place where she saw Dragon Count should be nearby.'
Qin Mu looked around his surroundings, matching it to his geographical map, yet still he didn't make any discoveries.
He removed the willow leaf from the heart of his brow, entering the Qin word land with his consciousness, he asked courteously, ”Heaven Duke, can you see me?”
After a short period, the clone of Heaven Duke replied, ”Yes! What do you want to do again this time?”
Qin Mu hurriedly replied, ”May I trouble Heaven Duke to help me find the Ruins of Ends?”
Heaven Duke glared at him.
Qin Mu's expression remain unchanged.
After another short while, Heaven Duke snorted coldly, ”The sea surface is very flat, there is no Ruins of Ends here.”
Qin Mu was stumped, he turned to the magma Earth Count, but Earth Count ignored him.
He could only retract his consciousness. He opened up the Gate of Heaven Influence behind him with a 'swoosh' and then waited outside the gate earnestly.
After a long period of time, a small boat leisurely floated to a still by the gate with the Elder Messenger of Death standing at the head of the boat.
”Celestial Venerable You, dare I ask the way to Ruins of Ends?” Qin Mu asked.
The lamp in Elder Messenger of Death's hand almost extinguished, and he shook his head silently.
Qin Mu continued to press, ”Then what about Dragon Count Country?”
The lamp in Elder Messenger of Death's hand trembled, with the gate between them, he raised his hand and pointed in a direction.
”Thank you.” Qin Mu replied politely, intending to shut the Gate of Heaven Influence.
”Wait for a moment!”
Elder Messenger of Death stuck a hand through the gate, the lamp shone straight in Qin Mu's face - the expression of the elder standing behind the lamp was not very pleasant. ”You called me out just to ask for directions?”
Qin Mu nodded.
The palm holding the lamp trembled slightly, the elder behind it was drawing long breaths and he replied, forcing himself to be tolerant, ”On account that you are taking care of Celestial Venerable Yu...Where's Celestial Venerable Yu? Where did you dump Celestial Venerable Yu at?”
