906 Xu Shenghua of West Earth (2/2)
An incredibly prosperous and thriving country was now on the verge of annihilation.
Moreover, this was the result after Eternal Peace's divine arts practitioners and gods tirelessly fought back, trying to save the people. If they didn't, the death toll of Eternal Peace would be much higher. Those who survived would become livestock held captive in pens, waiting to become slaves or be eaten.
This was why Qin Mu showed up at Eternal Peace's capital city to resist Green Deity of the Eastern Sky and the ancient Celestial Emperor.
He had to use his name as Celestial Venerable Mu. If he hadn't, what awaited Eternal Peace wouldn't just be a catastrophic disaster!
”I came to visit you because I plan to leave the Primordial Realm and head towards the celestial heavens to help Eternal Peace find a path of survival.”
Qin Mu smiled. ”You didn't return to Eternal Peace over these years. Paths have been cut off, and news hasn't been communicated. You haven't been in touch with the results of Eternal Peace's reform. Before the disaster, I traveled to various academies to master the result of Eternal Peace's reform. I don't know whether I will survive my trip, so I wish to impart the results of Eternal Peace's reform to you.”
Xu Shenghua was stunned and smiled faintly. ”The celestial heavens? Let me come with you.”
Qin Mu was touched, but he shook his head. ”You can't go. The reform of Eternal Peace can't be wiped out. If I am killed in the celestial heavens, at least you will be around to continue the reform. Although your Overlord Body is beta, it's only slightly inferior to me. If Eternal Peace has you, we will still be able to pass down our wisdom.”
Xu Shenghua wanted to say more, but Qin Mu bowed to the ground and said, ”Dao friend, please!”
Xu Shenghua quickly helped him up and said, ”I won't go with you, but you have to be careful.”
Qin Mu revealed a smile. ”I will be careful. Brother Xu, do you still remember the bet we made in the past? Whoever solves the problem of opening up the seventh divine treasure will be the alpha.”
Xu Shenghua smiled faintly. ”What a coincidence. Not long after you left, I managed to comprehend many different methods of opening up the seventh divine treasure. Finally, I chose the best one. All along, I have been waiting for you. Unexpectedly, calamities descended upon us, severing our connection with Eternal Peace.”
Qin Mu narrowed his eyes and said, ”Let's write out our solutions to opening the seventh divine treasure and see whose is better.”
Xu Shenghua agreed. They both turned away and started writing down their solutions.
Following this, they turned back to face each other again at the same time. Qin Mu wrote ”Celestial River Divine Treasure”, while Xu Shenghua wrote ”Surging River Divine Treasure”.
The celestial river was the Surging River, so there was nothing wrong with Xu Shenghua putting down ”Surging River Divine Treasure”.
They both stared at each other, and Qin Mu said resentfully, ”I am sure that I opened up the Celestial River Divine Treasure before you. When I opened up the Celestial River Divine Treasure, strange meteorological phenomena occurred!”
Xu Shenghua said, ”When I opened up the Surging River Divine Treasure, I faintly felt discernible ripples in the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth as the Dao changed. Although it was faint, changes in the Great Dao are unable to escape my observation.”
Qin Mu's heart jumped. When he was opening up the Celestial River Divine Treasure, he didn't feel a change in the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth!
This showed very clearly that Xu Shenghua had opened up the Surging River Divine Treasure before him!
'Back then, I experimented with over 20 types of divine treasures, one by one, looking for the best divine treasure. This took up a lot of time. This fellow Xu Shenghua actually chose the most optimal one and didn't experiment with other divine treasures!'
Qin Mu finally understood why he was slower. His expression didn't change, and he smiled. ”It is likely that we both opened up our treasures at the same time. When I opened up the Celestial River Divine Treasure, the strange phenomena was very frightening! This time, it shall be considered a draw. Let's compete again in the future!”
Xu Shenghua smiled faintly and didn't argue with him. He said to Jing Yan, who had hurried over, ”Dear, Cult Master Qin and I need to cultivate in seclusion for a while. During this period, we will need you to send us our meals. However, for other matters, there is no need to disturb us.”
Qin Mu bowed. ”Sorry for troubling Sister-in-law.”
Jing Yan smiled. ”It's not difficult to send over meals. Please don't overexert yourselves.”
”Don't worry, Sister-in-law, I will take care of your husband.”
They then walked into a large palace hall. As Xu Shenghua gestured with his hands, countless runes flowed down from the top of the hall like light streams. It was as though the hall was being covered by a giant bell, effectively sealing the hall. He said, ”Jing Yan knows my divine art and is the only one who is able to get in. Cult Master Qin, you can begin to impart.”
Qin Mu yawned and smiled. ”I will impart everything to you in my dreams.” After he said this, he laid down on his side and fell into a deep sleep.
Xu Shenghua was shocked and laughed. ”Is this the technique of Brahma Buddha? I have long heard about it, but I haven't seen it before.”
He laid down beside Qin Mu and was soundly asleep after a while.
The darkness in front of Xu Shenghua was like a curtain. When it was pulled from left to right, bright and beautiful sunlight shone through.
Xu Shenghua raised his hand to block the piercing light rays, putting down his hands only after his eyes adapted. He walked through this radiant world and saw Qin Mu walking towards him, smiling. ”Brother Xu is here. We can start to impart then.”
”Us?”
Xu Shenghua was stunned when he saw many Qin Mus walking over, and soon, there were over a hundred Qin Mus. Behind them was a bustling scene, with many more Qin Mus gathering into a bunch. They were sitting down at their desks and writing energetically, penning down the results of Eternal Peace's reform.
Xu Shenghua was astonished and cried out, asking, ”How long will this take?”
”It took me two to three years to master around 70 percent of the results of Eternal Peace's reform.”
One of the Qin Mus raised his head and said, ”You would also need two to three years. However, in my dream, you only need to catch a few winks. Let's begin!”
Xu Shenghua began to focus, putting his heart into learning.
In the meantime, Jing Yan came with their meals. She walked into the hall and saw the two of them lying on the floor, sleeping soundly. She couldn't help but shake her head as she placed a food basket beside them and left quietly.
Qin Mu and Xu Shenghua woke up, their stomachs rumbling with hunger. They quickly consumed their food.
After, Qin Mu wanted to wash the dishes. Xu Shenghua didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and he said, ”Cult Master, there's no need to force yourself. Put the tableware inside the basket, and my wife will come and collect them. Let's continue with our dreams.”
Qin Mu nodded.
They laid down. However, Xu Shenghua got up after a while and said, ”I'm unable to sleep if I don't wash the dishes. Come, let's wash them.”
Qin Mu was unable to enter his dream as well, and he immediately got up and laughed. ”I'm also unable to sleep. My mind will usually be restless if I don't wash the dishes.”
They created clear water using the art of creation and washed the dishes. Xu Shenghua also mopped the floor of the large hall until it was clean. They could finally sleep after putting their minds to rest.
”I have no idea how Imperial Preceptor and Emperor Yanfeng managed to spend their days in the great prison. It was so dirty…” Qin Mu mumbled as he gradually started snoring.
