939 What One Imagines Becomes Reality (1/2)

”Divine Knife Luo Wushuang? He's going to the Great Void too?”

Qin Mu frowned slightly. Luo Wushuang had a deep hatred towards him. If he went to the Great Void too, Qin Mu would be in great danger.

”What kind of place is the Great Void?”

Qin Mu perfectly took out his arm from her embrace and asked, ”I have heard of that place since I came to the celestial heavens. It's very mysterious. Why do we need to explore that place?”

”Isn't it because of Carefree Village?”

Yun Chuxiu replied, ”Celestial Venerable Qin established Carefree Village and moved the Founding Emperor Celestial Heavens there. Although the Founding Emperor Era was obliterated, the Founding Emperor Celestial Heavens' main pillar still exists. Why would this attempt by the celestial heavens to suppress the Primordial Realm's rebellion not impact Fengdu at all? It's because they haven't found Carefree Village yet.”

Qin Mu's heart moved slightly.

Yun Chuxiu continued, ”Founding Emperor was, after all, Celestial Venerable Qin. Although he betrayed the Heaven Alliance, he was still one of its five Founding Elders. As long as he's not dead, a lot of people won't be at ease since he refuses to submit himself. Those who went to suppress the rebellion in the Primordial Realm heard that he was giving orders from Carefree Village, telling Fengdu to avoid fighting and wait for a chance to launch an ambush. Fengdu is a minor objective, with the major problem for the celestial heavens being Carefree Village.”

She carefully examined Qin Mu's expression but found nothing unusual about it. She vaguely commented, ”Celestial Venerable Mu seems very calm. Celestial Venerable Qin, Qin Ye, is your ancestor. Are you not curious about him at all?”

”I toured the celestial heavens during the first year of the Dragon Han Era with him. He was indecisive and not straightforward. In addition, he was rebellious. He poisoned Celestial Venerable Hao and dared to kill people at the Jade Pool in disobedience to Mistress Yuanmu! I knew then that he was destined to be a traitor and despised him and the way he did things. My body comes from his bloodline, but my soul is unrelated to Founding Emperor's bloodline.”

Qin Mu righteously proclaimed, ”Today, he's a traitor while I'm celestial heavens' Celestial Venerable Mu. Naturally, I would cut clean my ties with him! If I see him in the Great Void, I'll spurn him harshly! Empress, have Celestial Venerable Huo and Celestial Venerable Xu found this traitor?”

Yun Chuxiu carefully observed his minute expressions and found nothing wrong with them. It seemed that cutting ties with Founding Emperor was a true desire of Qin Mu's.

She shook her head and said, ”There's news that claims that Carefree Village is in the Great Void. Hence, the celestial heavens explored that place recently in an attempt to find Carefree Village and remove this concern. When Celestial Venerable Huo and Celestial Venerable Xu reached the Great Void, they separated and found many weird places there. The Great Void is full of peculiarities… To go there, only a small party is allowed, because the larger the party, the more dangerous it is. The party that you will be leading there will contain 300 people.”

Qin Mu's heart moved slightly, and he asked, ”Have you been there, Empress?”

Yun Chuxiu's expression changed slightly, a clear indication of her recalling the past. She changed the topic, saying, ”Celestial Emperor's decree will arrive here soon. Wait for it and prepare to die in the Great Void.”

Qin Mu's eyes flashed as he smiled. ”Don't you want to go, Empress?”

Yun Chuxiu laughed. ”Why would I go to that sort of place? It's filled with danger. I won't go to such a terrifying place.”

Qin Mu curiously asked, ”So, Empress, what is it that caused you to find me in such a hurried manner? Your aim can't simply be to tell me this, right?”

Yun Chuxiu's expression wavered, and she suddenly sighed. ”I want to go, but I don't dare to go with my true form.”

Qin Mu wanted to inquire further when the dragon qilin reminded him, ”Cult Master, it's time to eat.”

Qin Mu walked forward and forged some spirit pills for the dragon qilin. The dragon qilin stared at his rice bowl and seriously looked at the spirit pills before laughing heartily all of a sudden. ”Cult Master, I heard a very funny story from Qi Jiuyi. I can recite it for you.”

Qin Mu acknowledged him and asked, ”What interesting story did Qi Jiuyi tell you?”

The dragon qilin said, ”Once upon a time, there was a lustful pervert who died. The end. Isn't it funny? Hahahaha!”

Qin Mu stared at him, and the dragon qilin stopped laughing and continued to consume the spirit pills seriously.

Qin Mu rose and plainly said, ”Well said. I, too, have a story. One of the spirit pills in the bowl is poisonous. The end.”

The dragon qilin immediately stopped and stared at the pills in the bowl, cold sweat bursting from his forehead.

Not long after, a god official came with a decree ordering Qin Mu to lead 300 gods and devils into the Great Void to rendezvous with Celestial Venerable Huo and Celestial Venerable Xu.

Qin Mu accepted the decree and saw that Luo Wushuang was leading the 300 gods and devils behind the official. Beside him was a disciple of the Spirit Elite Guards with a severed arm. The other gods and devils varied in cultivation levels and were likely the disciples of Celestial Venerables.

That god official, who was the one that cleaned up the Jade Sea prior, said, ”Celestial Venerable Mu, the boat is ready. Please prepare yourself, Celestial Venerable, and proceed quickly.”

Qin Mu looked at the sea and saw a boat. He asked, ”Are the supplies ready? Where is the topographic map of the Great Void?”

That god official shook his head. ”One has no need for supplies in the Great Void. There is no topographic map of the place either. You will understand once you get there.”

Luo Wushuang and the others had already boarded the boat, and Qin Mu frowned. He said to Yan'er and the dragon qilin, ”This journey is treacherous. Stay behind, there's no need to accompany me. After I leave, Yan'er, you will take Fatty Dragon to see South Deity Zhu Que. She will protect both of you.”

Yan'er hesitated before saying, ”Master, amongst these 300 gods and devils, at least 200 wish to kill you. If I follow you, I can protect you…”

”There's no need for that.”

Qin Mu smiled and said, ”If Carefree Village really is in the Great Void, then my brother is there too. With him there, no one will dare to lay a finger on me!”

Yan'er thought about it before retrieving a lantern and saying, ”Please carry this artifact with you, it was a gift from Celestial Venerable Yue for self-protection.”

Qin Mu accepted the lantern and boarded the boat, only to see Yun Chuxiu there. He was slightly stunned when he asked, ”Didn't you say that you didn't want to go, Empress?”
