1008 Celestial Venerable Xiao of Mankind (2/2)

The nine heavenly dragons followed the river at a speed that could outmatch lightning.

At the same time, in the south of the Primordial Realm, there was a mountain called Celestial Venerable Ridge in a mountain range. It was a deep place and was surrounded by fog and mist. When gods and devils entered by accident, they couldn't escape.

It was said that the place had a Celestial Venerable buried in it. A dozen heavens surrounded it to guard it, but no one dared to enter.

Today, the ridge was filled with boiling flames and many peculiarities. All sorts of lights came from the ridge, causing the gods of the heavens stationed around it to look down from their clouds. Dazzling lights were emanating from it as if something was coming out of it.

Many gods and devils became tempted as they said, \”Rumor has it that this place has a Celestial Venerable buried in it. Could its treasure have been unearthed today? Stationing us here was to take advantage of us!\”

Many gods and devils flew into the ridge to find the treasure.

This Celestial Venerable Ridge was treacherous, however, and many of the gods and devils that entered never returned. A burp was all that was heard from the ridge.

'Now that these idiots sacrificed themselves to me, I can go and recharge some of my parched essence and blood.'

In the ridge, many skeletal gods and devils, who were wearing large robes with large sleeves, flew out. They were carrying a large copper coffin out of the ridge. Their robes fluttered as they carried it with the wind.

Yuandu city.

The generals guarding Yuandu city went to the celestial palace on the canopy of the Primordial Tree. They entered the Numinous Sky Hall of the Jade Capital quickly and kowtowed to a god statue on the throne before telling it about how Celestial Venerable Mu had arrived.

That god statue was seemingly made out of clay, yet it opened its eyes when it heard the news and replied, \”I already know about this. You may withdraw.\”

The generals withdrew.

That clay statue coldly smiled. 'This b*stard, giving me more trouble. You should have gone to the East Pole, yet you must come to the Primordial Realm. The Grand Emperor won't let you go! If I save you, the other Celestial Venerables will know that I was one of the three Celestial Venerables who acted to save you at the Jade Pool. If I don't save you, you will die! This is hard, hard!'

The divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu in the air was slowly recovering, and its aura was being raised. At the same time, a door appeared out of nowhere in the Primordial Tree's celestial palace.

The clay god statue was stunned. 'This door opened again! When it opened the last time, people claimed they saw Celestial Venerable Mu and a devil coming out of it to kill many of my experts. My great army surrounded him, yet they couldn't capture him! Now, this door has opened again. What could it be this time?'

The door opened, and a middle-aged man appeared. He had thick eyebrows and large eyes that complimented his impressive appearance. His fringe was white, and his gaze revealed his age.

His clothes were ordinary, and at his waist was a sword. He just appeared in the Primordial Tree celestial palace like this as he looked up into the sky. He seemed grateful, and his lips moved as if he was going to speak.

\”I dreamt of being in this place again. I have so much nostalgia for this place. I have aged so soon…\”

He gave a long sigh and swept his gaze. Hundreds of miles away, Celestial Venerable Xiao's god statue in the Numinous Sky Hall was blown to pieces.

The middle-aged man felt a shred of chill run down his spine as he tightened his collar. He crossed his arms in front of his chest and left.

\”This land is finally back to its original shape. Unfortunately, the people from then are no longer here…\” He released a series of long sighs before disappearing.

In the Numinous Sky Hall, that clay god statue reassembled itself into a person made out of clay. He jumped from his throne and rushed out of the hall. He stared at the door, but that middle-aged man was nowhere to be seen.

'Qin Ye, Celestial Venerable Qin!'

A human voice came from the clay person as it mumbled, \”He came out of Carefree Village? This is a big deal! This traitor can no longer sit and wait in Carefree Village…\”

He looked up at the divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu but was hesitant to use it. It wasn't in his best interest to use it to kill Founding Emperor Qin Ye. There was no need for him to fight to the death with Founding Emperor.

'Should I inform the other Celestial Venerables about the appearance of Celestial Venerable Qin?'

The clay man stopped and went back to the throne in the Numinous Sky Hall, closing his eyes. 'Ignore him and pretend not to know about him. Since Qin Ye appeared, he won't allow Celestial Venerable Mu to be killed by the Grand Emperor. Thus, I shall sit this one out and reap the benefits later!'

\”Stop the carriage.\”

Qin Mu suddenly spoke when the carriage was at the upstream of the Surging River. He said, \”Dutian, we are near my hometown, and I feel unnerved since I haven't been there in a long time. Let's walk from here.\”

Dutian Devil King was perplexed as he asked, \”Cult Master, you are that kind of person too? If we walk, it will take us days to reach Eternal Peace.\”

\”That's fine.\” Qin Mu smiled.

The carriage descended and ran on the Surging River.

Qin Mu stepped out of the carriage, took out his jade bottle and a drop of the primordial liquid, and said, \”I shall toast my hometown with a drop of this.\”

That drop of primordial liquid fell into the river. After a while, the mountains around the Surging River shook as if something large was rumbling beneath them, causing them to shake too.
