1015 The Sword of Village Chief, The Leg of Cripple (2/2)

Qin Mu laughed and said, \”You have learned the primordial spirit cultivation technique of Carefree Village, which is far more backward than that of Eternal Peace. Given the same realm, the primordial spirits of Eternal Peace's divine arts practitioners, gods, and devils are much stronger. Using Founding Emperor and myself as an example, given the same realm, my primordial spirit is much stronger than his by several times over!\”

He reached out his hands and gestured.

Lang Wo and Shu Jun were unconvinced.

Especially Shu Jun. He had seen the battle between Qin Mu and Founding Emperor. Although Qin Mu was stronger, it was just by a little, and he wasn't significantly stronger than Founding Emperor.

However, they didn't realize that Qin Mu wasn't bragging.

What Founding Emperor was strong in was his fighting prowess. His twentieth sword form and 34 heavens of the sword path were so powerful that they concealed his lack of cultivation.

Qin Mu, on the other hand, was strong in primordial spirit and magic power. His primordial spirit cultivation was incomparably powerful. His Spirit Embryo Divine Treasure, combined with the magic power of his primordial spirit, could rival a celestial god on the Jade Pavilion Realm. After he had cultivated to the god realm, his magic power could rival an expert of the God Execution Stage Realm.

Although they looked to be evenly-matched when he battled Founding Emperor, that was because the Sword Dao of Founding Emperor was too powerful, much stronger than his.

However, solely based on primordial spirits, Founding Emperor was far inferior to Qin Mu.

Qin Mu looked around and frowned. Originally, he wanted to head for River Tomb from Fallen God Valley. Now, after entering and exiting Youdu, the geography around them changed drastically. They were now much further away from River Tomb and were close to Bazhou.

'Since that's the case, we shall first make a trip to the Heavenly Saint Academy to visit Granny Si and the rest.'

He, Divine King Lang Wo, and Shu Jun took their seats as he instructed Dutian Devil King to make his way towards the Heavenly Saint Academy. In the carriage, Qin Mu took out the jade bottle that the consciousness of the Grand Emperor was sealed in. He said, \”When refining the Grand Emperor's consciousness, I don't want his consciousness cultivation, I just want his memories in order to get a hold of his Great Overarching Supreme Consciousness. His consciousness belongs to the two of you.\”

Divine King Lang Wo hesitated for a while. She then nodded and said, \”A huge portion of the Grand Emperor's consciousness isn't from his own cultivation but from the sacrificial offerings of the masters of creation from the ancient primordial era. His consciousness isn't pure, hence limiting his achievements. There was a rumor among the ancestor spirits of the masters of creation of the Great Void. It's said that the reason the Grand Emperor was defeated during his battle with the ancient gods was that he relied on sacrificial offerings to raise his cultivation, hence resulting in him having a weakness. If his cultivation was due to his own efforts, he could easily defeat the ancient Celestial Emperor and the rest of the ancient gods.\”

Shu Jun's eyes brightened. He smiled as he said, \”If you're not keen on the Grand Emperor's consciousness, I would be happy to take it. Divine King Lang Wo, do you want the Grand Emperor's consciousness?\”

Divine King Lang Wo hesitated for some time before saying, \”I will share this equally with Divine King. With my current state of cultivation, it's extremely difficult to raise it to the next level. Although the Grand Emperor's consciousness isn't pure, it's still worth a try. However, I suggest we divide the consciousness into three parts, sharing it equally among the three of us, giving one-third to the holy infant.\”

Qin Mu didn't understand what she meant.

Divine King Lang Wo said gently, \”In the future, if your cultivation hits a bottleneck and is unable to advance further, you could refine the Grand Emperor's consciousness to raise your cultivation. My masters of creation could also come together to perform sacrificial offerings for you, helping you raise your power.\”

Qin Mu pondered for a while and nodded his head in agreement.

The three of them executed the consciousness refining divine art, fully focused on refining as the Heavenly Dragon Treasure Carriage made its way to the Heavenly Saint Academy.

At Eternal Peace's capital city, Founding Emperor bowed and asked Sword God Su Muzhe to stop walking. He said, \”After seeking your guidance, Ye Kai has benefited greatly. Elder, there's no need to send me further.\”

Village Chief insisted on sending him. He said, \”The things I learned from you are a hundred times more than what I have taught you. Given Brother Ye's talents, you are one of the two Sword Dao geniuses I have seen so far. I have to send you off.\”

Founding Emperor was puzzled. \”Elder has seen someone whose Sword Dao is on par with mine? Can I ask if this person is Celestial Venerable Mu?\”

Village Chief shook his head and laughed. \”Although Mu'er's Sword Dao is brilliant, he's quite hyperactive and is unable to sit still to research Sword Dao. His sword heart isn't pure. The expert who is able to match up to your Sword Dao is the former Imperial Preceptor of Eternal Peace, River Tomb Jiang Baigui.\”

Founding Emperor's expression changed as he said, \”May I know where Imperial Preceptor is now?\”

\”He was captured and suppressed by the celestial heavens, jailed together with the Grand High Emperor in the great prison.\”

Village Chief said, \”The sword heart of Jiang Baigui is incomparably pure. His Sword Dao is as marvelous as the universe creating countless Dao. He has evolved his Sword Dao into tens of thousands of Dao, and his sword heart is the clearest and brightest I have ever seen. He's also the founder of the fifteenth sword form, sixteenth sword form, and seventeenth sword form. If you ever meet him, you will definitely have a long and enjoyable chat with him.\”

Founding Emperor was silent for a while before he sighed. \”It's a pity that he's in the great prison. I don't know when I'll be able to meet him. I still need to visit other academies to experience the reform of Eternal Peace and don't have time to visit him in the great prison. Depending on fate, I might meet him in the future! Let's part ways here, farewell.\”

Village Chief watched as he disappeared over the horizon, only returning to the Imperial Academy after a long time.

Blind and Mute came by, looking for him. The voice of Mute rang like a huge bell. \”Village Chief, have you seen that man called Ye Kai? He's indeed a prodigy! A talent like him is what Eternal Peace needs. Why did you not make him stay?\”

Village Chief shook his head. \”Founding Emperor is clearly a prodigy. How am I able to make him stay?\”

Blind and Mute got a shock, and they looked at each other, speechless.

\”When he came to see me, I didn't look at him but felt him through his aura. I sensed he was a sovereign of the Sword Dao that stood above the 34 heavens. At that point, I knew the number one Sword Dao expert was here.\”

Village Chief said indifferently, \”For sword practitioners, after one has achieved a certain level of attainment on the sword path, they always feel that there's a pinnacle in front of them that they are unable to scale and overcome. That pinnacle is Founding Emperor, forever standing by himself in front of others. The purpose of his trip here was to give the twentieth sword form to Eternal Peace.\”
