990 Old Qin Family (2/2)

Yan Yunxi was frustrated and embarrassed. She furiously said, ”I didn't lose to you! Leave now! Don't humiliate me here!”

”Shu Jun, let's go!”

Qin Mu called out, and Shu Jun rose quickly. Lü Zheng smiled and said, ”Big guy, come here to drink another day! I will treat you to carrots!”

The carrot hung on the fishing rod on his head struggled, but it failed and had to accept its fate.

Shu Jun agreed and moved to Qin Mu's side.

”Don't go to the heavens after.”

Yan Yunxi walked him out of the city and said, ”This display of flattery is fake. In the later heavens, their display is real. If you go there, you will be humiliated.”

Qin Mu was slightly stunned and showed his doubt.

Yan Yunxi sighed and said, ”The only bitter people in Carefree Village are those of the older generations like us. The new gods and devils born here have little attachment to the outside world and greatly fear the strong celestial heavens they have heard rumors about. They don't want to leave, and among them are some smart people who know you are fighting to advise Founding Emperor and force him to go out. They will surely try and stop you.”

Qin Mu revealed a smile, nodded, and said, ”To them, this place really is Carefree Village.”

Yan Yunxi gave a cold humph and plainly said, ”What Carefree Village? There's no Carefree Village in this world! Go now, the earlier you see Founding Emperor, the better your odds of winning become. His comprehension of sword path divine arts is too high. The later you go, the higher the likelihood of him comprehending the twentieth sword form, which puts you at a disadvantage.”

Qin Mu bade her farewell and left.

The two of them reached the Grand Jade Heaven. This heaven was a great deal different than the previous 29 heavens. Dance and song filled the atmosphere of the extravagant and luxurious looking heaven, and young gods and devils used visualization divine arts to create all sorts of wondrous scenery that was beautiful.

People were dancing and singing in this strangely beautiful land. There were wine pools and meat forests. It was extremely extravagant.

Shu Jun suddenly cried when they reached that place.

Qin Mu was weirded out and asked, ”What's wrong?”

”Before our extinction, we were like this. Seeing such a scene again, I can't help but recall our extinction.”

Shu Jun recalled, ”Nobody thought about how close we were to extinction when we were in our most prosperous state.”

Qin Mu thought about it deeply.

Gods were on guard here. They should be younger gods who heard the news of Qin Mu's arrival at Carefree Village and thus were searching for him.

Qin Mu's consciousness waved and formed a consciousness illusion. They walked past the gods who were searching for them safely.

They reached the Dragon Alteration Heaven, which was even more extravagant. The heavens below trained to prevent an offensive by the masters of creation, creating a nervous atmosphere. There was none of that here. There was only enjoyment and luxury.

Qin Mu and Shu Jun didn't stop and instead rushed to the next heaven, Peaceful Education Heaven.

”Mu'er.”

Qin Hanzhen and his wife were waiting for him at the entrance, likely for a long time. Princess Consort Zhen smiled and said, ”You really are here. Your father still knows you well. He said you would come here to find out about Founding Emperor's sword skills.”

Qin Mu lifted his robe and kowtowed to them, saying, ”I became the holy infant, which caused me to neglect both of you. I hereby pay for my sins.”

Qin Hanzhen lifted him up quickly, saying, ”How can we be called your parents if we didn't nurture you, educate you, or even give you a soul?”

Princess Consort Zhen wiped her tears, smiling. ”I wish I gave birth to two sons.”

Qin Hanzhen said, ”You must have suffered hardships coming here. The old guards of the emperor are loyal to him. They must have made your journey difficult. I know it has been hard on you.”

Qin Mu didn't know what to say.

Princess Consort Zhen said, ”Your father is King Zhen, and it's hard for him to go down and see those old guys. They have weird tempers, and they speak in an enigmatic manner. I wanted him to go look for you, but he said those old guys know better. They might strike out against you, but they wouldn't take your life. At worst, they would only injure you, so there was no need to go. It would be even better if you were forced to withdraw.”

Qin Mu was even more stunned than before.

Shu Jun laughed. ”Those old guards of Founding Emperor really are loyal and really made him suffer.”

Qin Hanzhen led them to the King Zhen Residence as he said, ”It's rare that you are back. I'll take you to see our ancestors. We won't question your duel with Founding Emperor. Let's enter first. Half of the land in this Peaceful Education Heaven is ours.

Qin Mu acknowledged.

He followed Qin Hanzhen and Princess Consort Zhen, and all he could see were graves with no end in sight.

”These are all our ancestors.”

Qin Hanzhen said, ”The old Qin family members knew that Founding Emperor was determined to move to Carefree Village, which was an unpopular decision. So, from the fourth generation on, they actively fought against the masters of creation. All of them are here, generation after generation.”

”Founding Emperor had 34 children, and on the way to establishing his celestial heavens, 33 of them died in battle. Our ancestors died in battle when we migrated to Carefree Village. He had six sons who fought against the celestial heavens. They died, and their bodies haven't been found yet, as there was no way to find them.”

Qin Hanzhen said, ”He didn't enter the ancestral graves. Three generations of Founding Emperor's descendants died while entering the Great Void. They scouted the way, and only one came back alive, which meant safety for Founding Emperor.”

”In our generation, the hundredth and sixth generation, and yours, the hundredth and seventh generation, there are few people in the old Qin family. Every generation of ours has to shoulder the burden of defending Carefree Village. When the masters of creation struck, we were the first to respond at the front lines. We were worried about that, which was why your mother didn't want you to return here.”

He pointed at a grave in front and said, ”That's your uncle, my brother. He treated me nicely. He sent me off when I left Carefree Village. When I returned, he was buried here…”

”To us, Carefree Village never existed.”

He stood in front of it, and his head drooped as he said, ”Because, for people with the surname Qin, there are too many burdens… too many burdens.”
