994 Celestial Venerables Close Combat Battle (2/2)

Yan Yunxi immediately left, returning to the Founding Emperor Celestial Heavens to look for Divine King Shu Jun.

Time gradually passed. As for what happened in the Founding Emperor Celestial Heavens, Qin Mu wasn't aware, and there was no need for him to know. What he knew was, today, Carefree Village was revived. The people of Carefree Village wouldn't continue to be entranced in a blissful and mesmerizing dream state. They would try walking out.

Also, the race of masters of creation wouldn't continue walking down the same path and seclude themselves. They would also walk out.

He looked at the graves of the Qin family ancestors and saw the mist rising, permeating the graveyard.

There was a sense of peace in his heart.

He longed to revive his ancestors, making them reappear in this world. However, this wasn't the outside world. Here, he was unable to borrow the power of Heaven Duke and Earth Count. Also, without their corporeal bodies, he was unable to bring them back to life.

He sat quietly, yearning to communicate with them. However, their consciousnesses had already dissipated. After all, they weren't masters of creation.

What else could one say when they were dead? After all, they were just bodies deposited in the mountains.

They died worthy deaths, and that was enough.

After an unknown amount of time, Founding Emperor walked over with Qin Hanzhen behind him. Shu Jun and Yan Yunxi were at their sides.

Qin Mu stood up and dusted the mud off his bottom. He said, ”I'm afraid that I'm unable to stay in Carefree Village any longer. The people don't welcome me. I suppose it's time for me to leave. After all, I'm not someone from Carefree Village, I'm the holy infant of the masters of creation.”

Qin Hanzhen and Princess Consort Zhen's faces revealed complex emotions.

Qin Mu had already offended the entirety of Carefree Village. Not only was he unable to remain in the Qin family register, staying in Carefree Village wasn't possible anymore.

Founding Emperor said, ”Let me send you off.”

Qin Mu nodded as he stepped onto the void, walking off towards the horizon.

Founding Emperor walked with him shoulder to shoulder, while Shu Jun followed a few steps behind, not too closely.

His keen senses felt that there was something strange about the two, so he didn't want to be near them.

As they walked to the horizon, Qin Mu turned and looked back. Qin Hanzhen and his wife were nowhere to be seen. The masters of creation beyond the skies had also retreated, leaving the starry sky outside Carefree Village empty.

”Qin Kai, did I hit you too hard?” Qin Mu asked with concern.

Upon hearing the words ”Qin Kai”, Founding Emperor's left eyebrow gently arched. He replied, ”It was hard, but I was able to endure it.”

”You have coarse skin and a thick body. Of course, you were able to endure it.”

Qin Mu laughed and said, ”Don't you want to know who is stronger between the two of us?”

Founding Emperor said calmly, ”We should be evenly matched.”

Qin Mu gave a gentle laugh and said, ”I think so as well. Let's part ways here. You have many tasks waiting for you in Carefree Village.”

Founding Emperor nodded and stopped walking.

Qin Mu walked towards the masters of creation's territory. Shu Jun wanted to follow, but suddenly, he stopped involuntarily.

Founding Emperor took out the Carefree Sword and said gently, ”Dao Friend Mu Qing, are you at the god realm?”

Qin Mu stopped walking. He turned his head and laughed. ”Yes.”

”In that case, you must have extremely vigorous vital qi, stronger than mine.”

Founding Emperor gripped the Carefree Sword tightly and said in a leisurely tone, ”In terms of divine arts, I shouldn't be able to match up to you. The number of runes of Great Dao that you are proficient in is greater than me, and you are able to form a realm. Solely by magic power, you could crush me already.”

Qin Mu turned around with an unexpected sword pellet in hand. It gradually transformed into a divine sword, its sword light slowly swirling. He laughed. ”Yes, indeed.”

Founding Emperor said, ”But a real exchange of blows cannot just consist of divine arts or sword techniques. Is your Eternal Peace's reform up to it?”

Qin Mu's face was full of smiles. ”Won't you know once you've tried it? If you don't, how will you know whether my Eternal Peace's reform is much stronger than your Founding Emperor's reform?”

Shu Jun quietly stepped back as cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

Founding Emperor revealed a smile. The force in his legs exploded as his sword realm expanded rapidly. His Sword Dao instantly reached its peak. He smiled as he said, ”Mu Qing, have you seen the twentieth sword form before?”

Boom—

Incomparably bright radiance exploded as Qin Mu executed his divine treasure realm. His taiji diagram spun and expanded as the sun, moon, and galaxies rose from his body. The divine sword in his hand was growing rapidly!

”I have been waiting for this! Let me experience your sword realm and twentieth sword form!”

The light rays in the hands of the two men clashed. At that instant, Shu Jun's eyes felt pain. He couldn't help but tear up. He saw a blur in front of him and could only feel the trembles of perfected Sword Dao piercing through the void!

His skin felt as though it was pierced by thousands of swords, penetrating his body, soul, and consciousness. He was extremely fearful.

Soon, the light given off by the Sword Dao dissipated. Qin Mu was grabbing his chest as he turned to leave.

Founding Emperor retracted his sword. There was fresh blood dripping from it.

”Shu Jun, go!”

Qin Mu's voice felt weak. ”I am unable to move. Carry me back…”

Shu Jun quickly stepped forward, a sense of astonishment in his heart as he glanced at Founding Emperor.

Founding Emperor looked upset and disappointed, watching them as they left.

His sword realm was above Qin Mu's, and his twentieth sword form didn't disappoint. It penetrated Qin Mu's divine treasure realm, breaking through his sword techniques.

However, a spectacular sword light flew past alongside his Divine Bridge Divine Treasure, looking graceful and dazzling.

Qin Mu's Facing Calamity Sword didn't cut through his divine bridge but merely grazed it, causing him to break into a cold sweat.

If that slash had ended up breaking his divine bridge, his celestial palace would have crumbled and disintegrated, crushing all six of his great divine treasures and destroying his cultivation completely!

He didn't know if Qin Mu didn't have the strength to execute that slash properly or if he was showing mercy.

Zhnng.

Founding Emperor swung his sword back into the sheath as he turned back towards Carefree Village. 'I need to check out the reform of Eternal Peace.'
