945 The Beauty of Great Sword Dao (1/2)
Qin Mu glanced at him and then shook his head, laughing, ”Divine Knife Luo, you are suffering from extremely heavy injuries right now. If you don't get treated, you'll die soon.”
Luo Wushuang was covered in blood, and he had wounds all over his body. It was to the point that his blood had dyed the waterfall at his feet red.
He had tried to protect the disciples of the Celestial Venerables and big shots, fighting with the heart devils and then taking the aftereffects of the blow from the heart devil Celestial Emperor head-on. As a result, he had suffered severe injuries.
Qin Mu was skilled in the art of healing and had well-trained eyes that allowed him to conclude with just one glance that Luo Wushuang's injuries would turn fatal very soon.
”You have already waited for me for forty-thousand years. Waiting a moment more won't make much of a difference, will it?”
Qin Mu walked up to him and checked his wounds. ”It's not difficult for me to treat your wounds. Stop trying to put on a tough front.”
Luo Wushuang grunted, and the wounds all over his body burst open as blood spewed out.
Qin Mu propped him up and brought him to the top of the mountain. He first helped him stop the bleeding of his wounds and then took out some spirit medicine to refine spirit pills as he said, ”I can treat the hidden injuries on your body and can use spirit pills and miraculous medicine to treat the damage to your primordial spirit, divine treasures, and celestial palace. However, you still have a Dao injury inside your body, a result of your collision with the palm of the heart devil Celestial Emperor. You'll have to refine that yourself.”
He continued apologetically, ”I can't treat such injuries. However, I'm skilled in the technique of creation. Back then, I cut off one of your arms. Now, I can return an arm back to you.”
Luo Wushuang shook his head. ”I'm called Wushuang, my parents hoped that I would be matchless in this world. However, after you chopped off my arm, I then realized that Wushuang could also mean this—to have only one arm. All of my life's learning and comprehension are on this single arm. Even if you reconnect the arm for me, I would still chop it off.”
Qin Mu used his vital qi to form a furnace, and he circled it, executing all sorts of pill refining techniques. Upon hearing what Luo Wushuang said, he turned around to smile at him as he continued to refine the spirit pills and said, ”I thought so too. Aren't you afraid that I'll give you some poisonous pills when I'm treating you?”
Luo Wushuang remained silent.
Qin Mu finished refining the pills and medicine and let him consume them first.
”Are they poisoned?” Luo Wushuang stared at the pills.
Qin Mu then took out some silver needles and laughed. ”Guess.”
Luo Wushuang raised his head and swallowed these spirit pills. Qin Mu then carefully inserted the needles into his acupoints, using them to guide the medicinal energy so that it would be able to travel into the divine treasures.
Luo Wushuang instantly felt the medicinal energy flowing into his divine treasures. The injuries to the divine treasures were slowly healing, and the tears in them were also shrinking in size.
”The wounds of the celestial palace will be harder to treat, as I don't have much understanding of it. Also, it will be difficult for regular silver needles to pierce through the celestial palace, as they'll be crushed at the Southern Heavenly Gate and won't be able to let the medicinal energy flow through. Luckily, I have a precious treasure that can pierce through the Southern Heavenly Gate.”
Qin Mu took out the core of the Primordial Tree and made a mental command. The core became as thin and small as a needle.
He pierced the wooden needle through the heart of Luo Wushuang's brows, and the core of the Primordial Tree pierced through the Southern Heavenly Gate and came to Luo Wushuang's celestial palace.
”Lengthen!”
Qin Mu commanded in a low voice, and the core immediately grew longer until it reached Luo Wushuang's celestial palace's Jade Capital. The other end of the core entered the Numinous Sky Hall, coming before Luo Wushuang's primordial spirit.
Qin Mu carefully inspected Luo Wushuang's expression and said, ”Are you aware that this precious treasure can change as my heart wishes it to? It's also incomparably sharp. Even if you're an expert of the Numinous Sky Realm, at this point, your life is well within my grasp. If I so wished it, this treasure would burst through your celestial palace, stabbing through your primordial spirit and bursting through your head.”
Luo Wushuang's expression was calm. ”I trust you. If you don't treat me, I won't be alive for much longer anyway.”
Qin Mu burst out laughing and let him consume the spirit pills. ”You trusting me so much puts me to shame. Truth be told, even I don't trust myself. Your injuries will still need some time before they can fully recover. When you're fully recovered, you can come and challenge me again.”
Luo Wushuang got up and asked, ”Where do you intend to go? I want to follow you. If I don't eliminate the devil within my Dao heart, when I return to the celestial heavens from here, I will still die at the hands of the devil in my heart. Don't worry, when I fight you after I'm fully recovered, I'll definitely fight you in the same realm. If I use my cultivation to crush you, I won't be able to eliminate the devil in my heart.”
Qin Mu was about to speak when, suddenly, a divine ray cut through the sky and headed straight towards them.
The divine ray was gaining in speed, and from afar, an imposing vital qi was unleashed, transforming into a big hand that enveloped the peak of the mountain!
”A real god!” Luo Wushuang felt his heart jump and was about to make a move to block it when, suddenly, he felt his vital qi thrown into some disorder.
Qin Mu's vital qi exploded, and beneath his feet, the waterfall started to rise, transforming into a round dome that capped over the peak of the mountain. Luo Wushuang raised his head to look and saw that the water flow was flowing along the surface of the round dome, and as it flowed, all sorts of strange characters and symbols emerged.
It was a Heavenly Dao rune.
This Heavenly Dao divine art was called Heaven Vault, the sixth Heavenly Dao of Xuandu.
The palm collided with the sixth Heavenly Dao, and both exploded upon contact. Qin Mu raised his eyebrows. The cultivation of the approaching individual was incredibly dense.
”The Celestial Venerable Mu whose reputation shook the world back then, the Overlord Body Qin who astonished the Dragon Han, High Emperor, and Eternal Peace—you're just so-so!”
The divine ray whooshed over and came to a stop. It was a man who was covered in green-gold feathers. Both of his wings crossed before his chest, and suddenly, the wings trembled, and countless green-gold feathers flew out, slicing towards Qin Mu. Instantly, there were innumerous feathers flying all about the peak of the mountain, and they covered the entire peak of this mighty mountain until it was wholly impenetrable.
The sword feathers were like a great torrent that encircled the peak of the mountain as they flowed upwards and downwards interchangeably.
”Luo Wushuang, this is an affair between the Hao Palace and Celestial Venerable Mu. It's none of your business, don't intervene,” the green feathered man yelled out.
Qin Mu raised a hand, and the waterfall stopped flowing. It transformed into the Heaven Vault again to shield the peak of the mountain. The innumerous green-gold feathers continued to crash against the Heaven Vault, giving off brilliant lights and vibrant colors.
”Heavenly Dao divine art? There aren't any disciples within the celestial heavens who haven't cultivated it before. Celestial Venerable Mu should stop making a fool of yourself!”
The green-gold feathered man knelt down with the Heaven Vault separating him and Qin Mu as he said in a solemn voice, ”An Qingyu, disciple of Celestial Venerable Hao, pays my respects to Celestial Venerable Mu!”
