989 Ones Heroic Aura Can Stand Out and Last for a Thousand Autumns (2/2)

Gao Baixun poked his head out again, saying, ”I'm not your opponent. I won't tell you that Grand Tutor Zhou Jingmeng is waiting for you in Primordial Bright Heaven to avenge me!”

Qin Mu hurriedly asked, ”How does one go there?”

Gao Baixun lifted his finger and righteously said, ”Over my dead body. I will never tell you that the road there is that way!”

”Many thanks.” Qin Mu bowed and thanked him before walking the way Gao Baixun pointed with Shu Jun.

Shu Jun followed him in an uneven fashion as he looked back. He saw the junior assistant of Founding Emperor, Gao Baixun, call the monkeys out from the woods again. They unwillingly put on their clothes and hats to listen to him teach.”

”How weird.” Shu Jun shook his head.

”It's to be expected. With their ambitions not realized, and their Dao path blocked, their Dao hearts are dispersed when little generosity is dispersed.”

Qin Mu said, ”One ought to find out the underlying principles of things and act accordingly, applying their knowledge. Now they can't do any of that, and their Dao hearts are clearly severely affected.”

They arrived at Primordial Bright Heaven and encountered Grand Tutor Zhou Jingmeng. He was obviously waiting for them with murderous intent as he vowed to avenge Junior Assistant Gao Baixun. He refused to let Celestial Venerable Mu enter.

”If you want to, you have to step on my corpse!” The old Grand Tutor, Zhou Jingmeng, righteously called out.

After he displayed his Primordial Bright Sword of Literature, he laid down, and Shu Jun stepped on his ”corpse”. The old man furiously scolded him, ”Is he for real?”

Qin Mu bowed and thanked him as he walked around him.

The primordial spirit within Zhou Jingmeng's ”corpse” emerged and hollered, ”My big brother, Zhou Xunfang, will avenge me at the Seven Shine Heaven. Wait for it!”

Shu Jun didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he turned around and asked, ”How do we get there?”

”That way!”

Zhou Jingmeng's primordial spirit lifted a finger and taunted them, ”Go there if you dare!”

Qin Mu and Shu Jun reached Seven Shine Heaven and greeted Zhou Xunfang, who wanted to die in honor of Founding Emperor. He used his ”death” to prove his loyalty, as he ”died” in a more brutal manner than Zhou Jingmeng. Before he ”died”, he told them that the three councilors of the Founding Emperor Celestial Heavens would be waiting for them in the latter heavens.

On their journey, two months flew by. Qin Mu and Shu Jun unknowingly passed through heavens like Complete Nothingness Heaven, Taiji Heaven, Crimson Light Heaven, Black Light Heaven, and Shiny Brightness Heaven. They were close to the top of the 33 heavens.

Today, they reached the Supreme Heaven, and upon entry, Qin Mu heard laughter. He saw a donkey rushing towards him. A fishing rod was tied to its head, and on it was a carrot. It abruptly stopped when it was at Qin Mu's side. ”Hehe, isn't this Celestial Venerable Mu? Can you not recognize me?”

That donkey stood up and put one of its strong forearms on Qin Mu's shoulder. The other forearm was on Shu Jun's shoulder, squeezing them together and causing them to have goosebumps everywhere. He smiled. ”I am Lü Zheng! We suffered together! Let me tell you a secret, this Supreme Heaven is the realm of my master, Heavenly Teacher Zi Xi! She's been waiting for both of you for a long time!”

The donkey held them and moved forward as he effusively said, ”Master told us that peace has been achieved between Carefree Village and the masters of creation. This is a good thing that should be celebrated. These days, we brought some beautiful girls along to train their song and dance. They sure had a great deal of spirit of peace. It looked good, it sure looked good…”

Shu Jun's head was held tightly by him to the point where his feet couldn't touch the ground. He struggled but couldn't escape, which caused him to feel fearful.

He utilized his consciousness divine art, but his consciousness couldn't invade the donkey's mind at all. He naturally felt more fearful. ”This donkey is terrifyingly powerful!”

Qin Mu whispered, ”Don't resist. This donkey is a strong practitioner of the Numinous Sky Realm. He's just as strong as the heavenly lords we saw previously!”

Shu Jun had to give up resisting. He wanted to speak, but the donkey was garrulous. Sometimes, he would even bray loudly, preventing him from interrupting.

Qin Mu was used to Lü Zheng's temper and knew that he was used to being effusive. If one talked to him, one would suffocate to death. So he stopped talking and let him talk on.

Lü Zheng brought them to the city in Supreme Heaven. It was extravagant, and countless entertainers danced excitedly. Skirts flew everywhere while sleeves fluttered. It appeared extremely luxurious. On the left, hundreds of gods blew flutes, while on the right, another several hundred gods played their string instruments. Above them, hundreds of gods hit drums, while beneath them, hundreds of gods played even more instruments.

The girls flew in the sky, danced on the ground, and crisscrossed. Their demeanor was enchanting and charming, and their voices were even more so. They sang to Founding Emperor's greatness, wisdom, and strength.

Yan Yunxi was dressed like a man as she observed the occasion from a city tower. She was also dancing, and she constantly applauded the entertainers. The officials with her also sang along, licking Founding Emperor's boots.

Lü Zheng brought them upstairs and put them down.

Yan Yunxi looked around, smiled, and asked, ”What do you think about this performance, Celestial Venerable Mu? Is it grand? After we establish the Paramita Youdu, I intend to take them to the Founding Emperor Celestial Heavens and practice with the officers there to sing along to Founding Emperor's impressive achievements.”

Qin Mu smiled. ”The dance moves are beautiful and mesmerizing, and the singing is marvelous and moving.”

Yan Yunxi applauded, laughed, and glanced at him, saying, ”Unfortunately, you don't seem to understand the immensity of heaven and earth, considering how you challenged Founding Emperor. You seem to not understand how Founding Emperor is number one in the path of the sword and how high his accomplishments in the sword are! If I told you, you would probably be scared to death. He is already beginning to comprehend the twentieth sword form after I displayed your nineteenth sword form in front of him.”

She rose and proudly said, ”Founding Emperor is such an unrivaled and naturally wise man! Thus, you should cancel this rebellious thought of yours. However, you are unwilling, right? Therefore, allow me to defeat you with Founding Emperor's sword skill!”

She swept her sleeves back and hollered, ”Back off, I will now use Founding Emperor's sword skill to let Celestial Venerable Mu experience the immensity of heaven and earth!”

The entertainment stopped, and the entertainers backed off.

Yan Yunxi pulled out her sword and looked at Qin Mu.

Qin Mu was stunned as he said, ”Even you…”
