972 Divine King Lang Wo (1/2)
The chiefs of the various masters of creation clans came forward and almost crawled on the Grand Emperor's seal to check it. They also examined the Grand Emperor's sacrificial altar very carefully.
After quite a bit of time, the chiefs stood up and looked at one another, discussing Qin Mu's validity.
”Could it be that the ancestors' third prophecy came true too?”
”However, this fellow doesn't look like a master of creation. He even has an Adam's apple, like an adult of those hooligans.”
”His eyebrows are like Thief Qin's too!”
”Now that you mention it, he does look like Thief Qin. The more you look at him, the more similarities you can make out…”
”Yet he has the seal, the sacrificial altar, and the Origin Stone. Thief Qin shouldn't be this sly, right? Even if he's this sly, there's no way for him to get the seal and the sacrificial altar, let alone the Origin Stone.”
”Thief Qin is sly. One can't be too careful against him. Which one of you thought that 'small piece of land' of his was this big?”
…
In the Origin Stone, Shu Jun was nervous and couldn't help but remind these chiefs, ”He wasn't born clutching the seal, nor did he descend on the sacrificial altar! Both of those things were gifts! The Grand Primordium Origin Stone was mine too! Be smarter!”
The various clan chiefs discussed it again. The white-haired elder from the Xiatai Clan said, ”The matter regarding the holy infant is of critical importance. We must verify his body to ensure he's not a mole sent by Thief Qin. If we foolishly recognize him as the holy infant, Thief Qin will be laughing behind our backs.”
Xiu Zhong nodded his head and said, ”True, we can't be too careful about this matter. Even I don't dare to confirm his identity by myself, which was why I invited everyone here. Does anyone have a method to judge his validity?”
”Everything else aside from the soul can be faked!”
The female master of creation from the Zili Clan, Can Nü said, ”Our clan's treasure is the Seven Soul Grass. It's a holy item visualized by my people after millions of years. Aside from swallowing souls, it can also recognize them. Previously, we used it to deal with that weird big-headed infant from the Qin family, but he munched it in half. Luckily, we still have the roots and stems.”
She carefully retrieved a stalk of grass with purple roots and stems. It was larger than normal grass, and it looked like there were purple yams growing on it. However, there were ferocious bite marks on the stem.
This grass was created by the Zili Clan's masters of creation after countless years of visualization. It was an extremely powerful holy item that was good at swallowing souls. However, it was at a disadvantage and was eaten by Qin Fengqing when facing him.
Qin Fengqing was a fanatical man who came out of Carefree Village to slaughter the masters of creation. Can Nü and her clan members worshipped this treasure to deal with him. In the end, it was bitten in half by him.
Can Nü and her clan members hurriedly took back the grass, but it had already been chewed upon by Qin Fengqing. This was also why the grass was said to not be tasty.
It lacked vitality and energy after being stored away. Even when Can Nü and her clan members worked together to worship it, the grass never recovered to its peak condition.
Luckily, they were only using it to identify the age of Qin Mu's soul, which was easy for the grass.
Can Nü raised the grass, and it floated lazily onto the sacrificial altar in front of Qin Mu. Its purple aura rotated around Qin Mu before it flew into him to do the same inside.
The grass weakly raised two of its stems. One of them stood vertically while the other drooped.
”The Seven Soul Grass claims that he's not two years old yet!”
Can Nü put away the grass, proclaiming, ”This confirms that he's one of us. I have seen human infants when they are one or two years old, they are basically nothing in size.”
Shu Jun was furious, and his brain jumped around on the Origin Stone's sacrificial altar, calling out, ”Your stupid grass is useless! It can't identify his corporeal body! This guy's corporeal body is 30 years old!”
The chief of the Zhuqiu Clan solemnly said, ”Since the soul is real, he can't be fake. However, in the prophecy, the holy infant has a vast number of divine arts and great wisdom. Holy infant, can you allow us to test you?”
Qin Mu helplessly agreed, ”Everyone, please.”
Even if he objected to it, these masters of creation wouldn't have allowed him to object to it, so why not let them test him now?
'Anyways, Xiu Zhong said there was no danger more than once,' Qin Mu thought.
Xiu Zhong discussed it with the other chiefs to verify the tests, then said, ”The divine king isn't here yet. She should be here soon according to her speed. Does she have something to deal with? Why not wait a while for her? She will host the test.”
Dong Ming, Chu Nu, and the others nodded.
At that moment, a phoenix cry echoed forth. The masses looked up and saw heavenly flowers falling from the sky. It was as if their petals came from a waterfall in the heavens.
The rainbow phoenix pulled an unbelievably extravagant treasure carriage down from the sky. Wherever this carriage passed, a river of flowers would appear. This river was probably extremely long by now.
The river of flowers dispersed, and the treasure carriage landed.
”The divine king is here!”
The various chiefs and elders that came to the Xiu Clan bowed down and said in unison, ”Welcome, Divine King Lang Wo!”
”Drop the formalities.”
