900 Mother Earths Growth Rings (2/2)
”The Vast Mist Primordial Liquid can maintain one's soul and spirit, making them undying. I have used this primordial liquid to protect my own broken soul. Celestial Venerable Mu, even though you don't have a soul, you can borrow the primordial liquid to strengthen your spirit, allowing your spirit to become an undying primordial spirit!”
Mother Earth's broken soul said, ”In this way, you won't die because you don't have a soul, and you also won't need to find verdant hills and limpid waters to lay yourself to rest anymore.”
Qin Mu's heart stirred, and he looked at the rest of the primordial liquid in the stone coffin. ”Mother Earth, even so, I don't have the ability to revive you. My ability now is too weak. Truth be told, I'm only left with one-fifth of my vital qi cultivation.”
Mother Earth was silent for a moment, and then another drop of primordial liquid flew out, still flying into his Spirit Embryo Divine Treasure. She said, ”This drop of Vast Mist Primordial Liquid is for you to recover your cultivation.”
Qin Mu sighed and said, ”Mother Earth is still too stingy. So what if I recover my cultivation, I'm no longer the Son of Youdu. Earth Count and Heaven Duke have also abandoned me, they feel that I no longer have any worth. My abilities are weak, and they won't lend their power to me. If they don't lend their power to me, I can't revive you. Why doesn't Mother Earth give me more primordial liquid, allowing my abilities to be on par with Son of Youdu? Let them feel that I'm still worthy of being used by them so that it will be easier for me to borrow their power.”
Mother Earth's broken soul laughed cynically and said, ”It's not that I'm reluctant to give it to you, it's you who isn't able to withstand the energy of the primordial liquid. These two drops of primordial liquid are already enough for you to digest for dozens or even hundreds of years! If I give you more, your Spirit Embryo Divine Treasure won't be able to seal it. If the power of the primordial liquid invades your bloodstream, just a wisp will blow your body into pieces!”
Indeed, Qin Mu felt that his Spirit Embryo Divine Treasure was starting to reach its limit, and if he gained another drop, the energy in the primordial liquid would burst apart the space of his Spirit Embryo Divine Treasure and seep into his body.
Even gods and devils would explode from the aura of this primordial liquid, let alone him.
”In that case…”
Qin Mu's palm flipped, and his fingers grasped onto four small jade bottles. He poured out the dragon saliva in the bottles and asked, ”Will it do if they are stored in these bottles?”
Mother Earth was silent once more. After a moment, her voice came from the stone coffin. ”Your small bottles won't be able to withstand it.”
Qin Mu's hands moved up and down to imprint countless runes on the jade bottles. ”Is this seal enough?”
”No.”
Qin Mu added dozens of seals one after another and revealed a hopeful look. ”What about now?”
”No!”
Qin Mu was troubled and turned to look at Yan'er, who immediately executed her magic power and applied a green dragon seal on the bottles. As the green dragons surrounded the jade bottles, she applied another vermillion bird seal.
Qin Mu asked hopefully, ”What about now?”
Mother Earth fell into silence once again and only spoke after some time. ”One bottle.”
Qin Mu was disappointed. Just as he was about to speak, Mother Earth said sternly, ”One bottle, no more haggling!”
Qin Mu could only use his vital qi to control one jade bottle and have it fly into the coffin. The jade bottle was filled to the brim with Vast Mist Primordial Liquid, and Qin Mu hurriedly stored it properly and carefully.
”How long do you need to recover to your peak state?” asked Mother Earth.
Qin Mu replied, ”A hundred years or so.”
Snarls came from the emperor coffin as a majestic emperor's corpse walked out from the darkness behind the primordial liquid. The corpse was snarling furiously.
”As short as ten years!” Qin Mu said firmly.
That emperor's corpse from High Emperor stared at him with a cold gaze, and Mother Earth's broken soul that was in the primordial liquid snorted. ”I shall only give you ten years. After ten years, if you don't revive me, I shall let my son bathe Eternal Peace in blood!”
The stone coffin closed with a bang and shut the emperor's corpse and the primordial liquid back inside. Then, that huge flower started to close up.
”Hold it!”
Qin Mu hurriedly said, ”Mother Earth, as of now, my cultivation still hasn't recovered. If I'm killed, wouldn't your efforts be wasted? Mother Earth, please grant me a suitable weapon.”
That huge flower stopped closing, and Mother Earth's furious voice came from the stone coffin. ”You are half-dead now. Instead of hiding yourself honestly and digesting that primordial liquid, are you actually thinking of drawing attention to yourself and seeking death?”
Qin Mu said righteously, ”Now that I don't have worries about dying, I plan to head right to the celestial heavens…”
Bang—
The stone coffin suddenly burst open, and the head of the emperor's corpse that was as big as a mountain snarled at Qin Mu with its ferocious mouth wide open. Qin Mu, Yan'er, and the dragon qilin weren't even enough to fill the gaps between his teeth!
Qin Mu's face wrinkled up from the current of stinky breath, and he lost his footing. Behind him, the Surging River exploded, and the flow of the river was nearly cut off!
After the emperor's corpse snarled, its head shrunk and continued to stare ruthlessly at him.
”You plan to go to the celestial heavens?”
Mother Earth said in exasperation, ”Why don't you just die?”
Qin Mu's expression didn't change, and he just said, ”I have to make a trip to the celestial heavens. Just like Mother Earth said, I'm the indestructible Great Wizard, so even if going to the celestial heavens is dangerous, the ancient gods in the celestial heavens will protect me. In addition, my identity is that of Celestial Venerable Mu and founding elder of the Heaven Alliance, so I'm actually very safe. However, it's easy to dodge a spear in the open but hard to avoid a stab in the dark. I still don't have a suitable weapon. My sword pellet is only a spirit weapon and not a divine weapon…”
The emperor's corpse shrunk back into the coffin, and after a moment, it walked out again. In its hand was a straight wooden rod that was ten yards long.
”You only have this wooden rod?” Qin Mu revealed a disappointed expression.
The emperor coffin suddenly closed, and Mother Earth said with a cold tone, ”This is the core of the Primordial Tree, one of the strongest divine weapons in this world. Take a good look at its growth ring!”
Qin Mu looked at the tip of the wooden rod and saw countless circles that were densely packed. Just as he was about to count them, the huge flower closed, and the emperor coffin sank back into the root of the Primordial Tree. The roots that stretched across the Surging River rapidly retracted and vanished without a trace!
”How stingy, so afraid that I'd ask for more treasures…”
Qin Mu shook his head and counted the rings in detail. After a long time, he still hadn't finished counting them.
The dragon qilin couldn't resist asking, ”Cult Master, what number are you on now?”
”I've already counted five million rings, and that's not even ten percent…”
