933 The Real and Fake Celestial Venerable Mu (2/2)
Qin Mu walked out of the temple and gave Qi Jiuyi, who had stiffened up, a puzzled look. Only then did the apparition before Qi Jiuyi's eyes disappear.
He couldn't help but shudder, and there was a shred of fear in his eyes. The abilities of these two toads were far superior to his.
The Dao Master of the celestial heavens escorted them out of the Jade Pure Celestial Palace.
Qin Mu was silent for a while before he said to Yun Chuxiu, ”I heard that there's a Patriarch Creation Palace in the celestial heavens and that there's a creation divine weapon there. Can good little sister bring me there to take a look? I intend to use the Patriarch Creation Palace to build a few Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridges so it will be more convenient to travel between the celestial heavens and the lower bound.”
Yun Chuxiu rolled her eyes at him and then burst out giggling. ”Calling me good little sister…”
Qi Jiuyi and Yun Jianli felt their hair stand on end as they looked at the other two with terrified expressions. This woman was either Celestial Empress or Mistress Yuanmu, yet Qin Mu had actually dared to call her good little sister.
'This Celestial Venerable Mu who has come up here from the lower bound, do you know how many ways there are to write out the character for 'death'?'
Yun Jianli's heart suddenly beat violently as he thought to himself, 'Oh yes, I also called Yun Chuxiu little sister previously, I am also one who doesn't know death… I better go down to the lower bound soon!'
”Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge?”
Yun Chuxiu asked curiously, ”To make it more convenient to travel between the lower bound and the celestial heavens? Is Celestial Venerable not afraid of the gods and devils of the celestial heavens going to the lower bound to trample on the living beings of Eternal Peace?”
With a solemn expression, Qin Mu replied, ”Eternal Peace has already pledged allegiance to the celestial heavens, we are subordinates of the celestial heavens and are very loyal to the celestial heavens. Good little sister, the celestial heavens won't go against the honest and faithful!”
”I'll be d*mned if I believe you!”
Yun Chuxiu burst out giggling, her eyes rolling about mischievously before she replied seriously, ”Give the Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge blueprint to me, and I will help you forge a few. Opening up the world barrier of the celestial heavens and the lower bound is an extremely significant event. You have yet to gain power in the celestial heavens, so you won't be able to make decisions on this. It has to be approved by a Celestial Venerable.”
Qin Mu took out the blueprints for the Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge and handed them all to her. The blueprints were numerous and stacked tall. Yun Chuxiu pulled out a few pieces, and upon seeing the algebra runes on them, she couldn't help but frown. Seeing all of these blueprints annoyed her, and she said, ”This should still be handed over to the Dao Sect. I'll let the Dao Sect take these to the Patriarch Creation Palace to build the Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridges… Brother, Celestial Venerable, Brother Jiu, I'll head off first!”
She took off quickly with the blueprints and headed towards the Jade Pure Celestial Palace as she thought to herself, 'This Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge is quite useful. It can connect the celestial heavens to the other heavens, and it's not limited to only the Primordial Realm. If these Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridges can be built, then I'll be able to rule over even more heavens and worlds…'
Qin Mu, Qi Jiuyi, Yun Jianli, and the others headed towards the Jade Pool instead. Yun Jianli had doubts brewing in his heart, and after suppressing it for a while, he finally asked, ”Why did Celestial Venerable hand the Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge blueprints over to Yun Chuxiu? This Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge is of great use, and if the celestial heavens and the Primordial Realm are connected, the gods of the celestial heavens can head to the lower bound at a whim, and the Primordial Realm won't have an opportunity to react! The rule of the celestial heavens will only become even more stable!”
Qin Mu nodded and smiled. ”The Eternal Peace of today is merely a tiny vassal state under the celestial heavens, it's not like we will rebel, so what is there to be afraid of?”
The doubts in Yun Jianli's heart grew even more. ”I don't believe that you would be so stupid that you don't know what the Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge can be used for. What exactly are you planning?”
Qin Mu didn't reply to him directly. Instead, he smiled and said, ”With the Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge, you will be able to go down to the lower bound too, you won't have to stay in the celestial heavens.”
He had set a future strategy for Eternal Peace. To resolve the eight rules that the ancient Celestial Emperor had set to curb the Eternal Peace reforms, one of the most crucial plans was to let Eternal Peace develop its manufacturing side such that it would be able to forge the divine weapons for the celestial heavens.
For this to happen, trade routes would have to be opened up.
To transport goods from Eternal Peace to the celestial heavens, even with the phoenix ship that had incomparable speed, it would take about a year for a round trip. If regular ships were used instead, the round trip might even take a hundred years.
The Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge would be able to open up the trade routes, reducing the transportation time for trade between Eternal Peace and the celestial heavens significantly. This way, Eternal Peace's path of making use of manufacturing to restore the country would also be considerably shorter.
If the Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridges were forged across the innumerous heavens and worlds and trade was opened up, allowing Eternal Peace to crowd out the manufacturing industries of the other worlds and heavens, then the rebellion of the innumerous heavens and worlds would also happen a lot sooner!
However, the Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge couldn't be built by him. If it was suggested by him, it would only lead to suspicion from the other Celestial Venerables. The simplest and most effective way around it was to hand it over to Celestial Empress and let her build them instead.
After Celestial Empress built the bridge, in order to benefit from it, the other Celestial Venerables would also start to build the bridges. From there, the innumerous heavens and worlds would be connected, and Qin Mu would have achieved his goal!
They had yet to reach the Jade Pool when a god suddenly stood in their way and bowed. ”Celestial Venerable Mu, Celestial Venerable Hao would like to invite you to the Hao Palace to attend a banquet.”
Qin Mu's heart jumped, and he sneered. ”We have a grudge between us, and his banquet is definitely nothing good, I'm not going!”
The god was taken aback.
Qin Mu walked off quickly, and Yan'er, who was perched on his shoulder, saw that there were many fine goosebumps raised on the back of his neck.
'This rascal, Celestial Venerable Hao, must have already made use of the creation divine weapon to create another me. Inviting me to the banquet is probably just a front to kill me!'
They had yet to reach the Jade Pool when another lady came forward. ”Young Master Yun, Mistress Yunxiao asks you to return.”
Yun Jianli had never seen this person before, and he was confused, but he still followed after her and left.
After a while, a god under Red Deity of the Southern Heaven blocked their path and bowed. ”Red Deity misses Young Master and asks Young Master to return and meet her.”
Qi Jiuyi was shocked. ”My master is here? Isn't she in the lower bound? Second Brother, come along with me!”
The dragon qilin looked towards Qin Mu. Qin Mu's heart trembled slightly, and he said, ”Just go ahead.”
Qi Jiuyi and the dragon qilin followed after the god and left together.
Qin Mu smiled. ”Later on, there will be someone from South Deity Zhu Que's side who will come and ask Sister Yan'er to go and meet South Deity.”
Yan'er was puzzled, and she laughed. ”How do you know that?”
Qin Mu didn't answer.
After a period of time, another goddess really came forward, smiling. ”Princess Yan, South Deity misses you. She asked me to come and invite the princess to return and meet her.”
Yan'er looked at Qin Mu, and Qin Mu nodded his head gently. ”The meeting of a mother and daughter is important, it must not be delayed.”
Yan'er followed after the goddess and left.
Qin Mu returned to the Jade Pool, going back to the Slow Winding Pavilion. Awaiting his arrival was another Qin Mu, who was standing in the pavilion with his hands behind his back.
