986 The Twentieth Sword Form (1/2)
Founding Emperor leaned back in his chair, stretched out a single palm, and spread his five fingers apart as he laughed. ”I want to beat you up this many times!”
Qin Mu burst out laughing. Crossing one ankle over his other leg and leaning one arm across the back of Divine King Shu Jun's chair, he replied leisurely, ”You are copying me again. Why doesn't Celestial Venerable Qin beat me up ten times?”
Divine King Shu Jun was very uncomfortable, but because he only had one big head left, he was unable to remove Qin Mu's hand.
”Put your leg down!”
Qin Hanzhen finally couldn't suppress himself. Green veins popped on his forehead as he growled in a low voice, ”Your leg hairs are showing! Look at yourself! You're not even wearing anything inside!”
Qin Mu hurriedly put down his leg and sat upright and still.
Divine King Lang Wo laughed softly as she helped Qin Mu pull down his red robes to cover his legs.
On both sides, the great armies of Carefree Village and the masters of creation were filled with murderous intent, looking poised to start the fight at any time. Yet, the atmosphere on the platform was no longer as tense as it was before.
Qin Mu laughed. ”On my father's account, I'll give you some face and won't beat you up today. I'll go home to visit in a few days. Go and ask my brother to hurry and create the Paramita World's Youdu, I can get the masters of creation to help out as well.”
Qin Hanzhen furrowed his brows. ”Don't come home! I won't allow you to come back!” Upon saying that, he took a quick glance at Founding Emperor's expression.
Yan Yunxi laughed. ”King Zhen, don't be like that. Previously, we were discussing the important affairs of the two races. Now, it's alright if we discuss family matters. Since birth, Celestial Venerable Mu has been wandering about outside, and yet now that he has come to Carefree Village, he's not allowed to take a look? Don't you think that's a little unreasonable no matter how you look at it?”
Qin Mu smiled. ”Heavenly Teacher Zi Xi is right. My coming here was exactly to seek out Carefree Village, to go home to visit my parents and my brother, as well as visit Founding Emperor. How can I not enter the door when I have already arrived at the doorstep?”
”Go home to receive a beating?” Qin Hanzhen huffed before he glanced at Founding Emperor again.
Qin Mu didn't take it to heart and replied, ”Back then, I didn't lose, and now, all the more, I definitely won't lose. Founding Emperor, am I right?”
Founding Emperor stood up and smiled warmly. ”It's good if you return home to take a look. Now that we have set down our oath of peace between the two races, I will also need to return to make some preparations and let Fengqing open up the Paramita World's Youdu and set up the cycle of life and death in the Paramita World. When will Celestial Venerable Mu come to Carefree Village to visit your family?”
Qin Mu replied politely, ”In two months. Creating the Paramita World's Youdu will also require quite some time. After all, it's a huge project. I will mobilize the masters of creation alongside the divine king to help Brother create Youdu.”
Founding Emperor also replied politely, ”Then, I'll await your arrival in two months. Heavenly Teacher, Hanzhen, let's go.”
Qin Mu and Divine King Lang Wo sent them off, but Founding Emperor hurriedly stopped them. ”There's no need to send us any further. Carefree Village is very near, it's just around the corner.”
Qin Mu watched as they walked off the platform, and Qin Hanzhen turned around to whisper, ”Don't come back!” With that, he followed after Founding Emperor and Yan Yunxi to return to Carefree Village.
”Big Sister, setting this oath of peace with Carefree Village, will it cause unhappiness amongst the masters of creation?” Qin Mu turned his head to ask the lady beside him.
Divine King Lang Wo shook her head. ”You are the holy infant. Your decision represents the decision of all masters of creation as well as the decision of the ancestor spirits. They won't go against your decision. Come to think of it, us masters of creation are actually failures. We are merely hiding here, and we don't have much ambition. We merely seek peace and survival.”
She paused for a while before adding, ”I will use my consciousness to show them the future that will come with this oath of peace. When they see the future with the Paramita World's Youdu, they will understand what you are doing. Furthermore, the ancestor spirits in the Land of the Great Void that have become monsters will be able to attain peace. This will make them respect you even more.”
Qin Mu expressed his thanks.
Divine King Lang Wo noticed that his gaze kept falling onto Carefree Village's 33 heavens, and she could sense that he dearly missed his hometown. She asked, ”Are you really going to wait for two months before you enter Carefree Village?”
Qin Mu smiled. ”Of course not. I will definitely secretly sneak in to see what Carefree Village has achieved in the past twenty thousand years.”
Divine King Lang Wo blinked her bright and beautiful eyes, bearing great curiosity towards Qin Mu's thoughts.
”The reforms of Founding Emperor take a top-down approach. When the gods and devils have undergone the reforms, they will impart the results of the reforms to their people.”
Qin Mu's gaze twinkled. ”Then, the things taught in the schools and academies of Carefree Village will be the ultimate arts of the Founding Emperor Celestial Heavens. They would have done all they could to teach the mortals so that they would also be able to become divine arts practitioners, become gods. Thus, in the next two months, I intend to start my journey from Supreme Emperor Heaven of Carefree Village and observe whether the paths, skills, and divine arts of Carefree Village have improved or regressed compared to the past.”
Divine King Lang Wo laughed. ”You are still going to have a match with Qin Ye?”
Qin Mu didn't deny this, and he revealed a slight smile. ”He is Celestial Venerable Qin, while I am Celestial Venerable Mu. A million years ago, we had already found each other to be an eyesore. But back then, we had yet to determine who was superior. Now that we have met again, although we have familial ties, we still consider each other to be an eyesore. Since that is the case, it would be good if we had a match. In knowing oneself and knowing the enemy, only then can one win all battles.”
There was a sly glint in his eyes. ”In the upcoming days, he will be focusing all of his energy on opening up the Paramita World's Youdu, and he will also need to reassure and convince the citizens and gods and devils of Carefree Village to let go of their grudges. He won't have the time to watch me or research my paths, skills, and divine arts. Yet, I will be able to uncover the marvels of his 33 heavens of the sword path from all sorts of clues and traces.”
Divine King Lang Wo replied hesitantly, ”I will need to reassure the masters of creation, and I need to mobilize the masters of creation to go help the big-headed weird baby… your brother, to create the Paramita World's Youdu. I won't have the time to accompany you.”
Qin Mu felt that it was a bit of a pity.
He really liked how it felt to have Divine King Lang Wo by his side.
This lady was incredibly clever. If she was a foe, she had astonishing ways to deal with the enemy, and if she was a friend, she would do everything she could to help the friend.
Divine King Lang Wo was also an extremely beautiful woman, yet she didn't give him pressure the way Yun Chuxiu did. With this female divine king by his side, Qin Mu even felt that his brain was more agile than usual.
However, Divine King Lang Wo needed to leave to attend to proper matters, so he couldn't make her stay behind.
The three of them returned to the base camp of the masters of creation, and Qin Mu watched as she took her leave. Shu Jun commented, ”This divine king is an extraordinary woman, and her cultivation is also incredibly powerful. She's much more formidable than I was back then.”
Qin Mu sighed and said, ”It's a pity that she's a product of visualization. There aren't such perfect beings in the world…”
”A product of visualization?”
Shu Jun broke into laughter. ”What are you thinking?”
Qin Mu was taken aback.
