1016 The Past Was Like a Dream When Looked Back Upon (1/2)
\”Those who cultivate the Sword Dao sense a pinnacle that they are unable to scale and overcome?\”
Blind and Mute looked at each other and decided to hide the fact that they had scolded Founding Emperor to his face. Blind chuckled and said, \”Lucky that there's no such pinnacle in the path of formations, I haven't seen such an existence.\”
Mute shook his head and said, \”I have also never seen such an existence in the path of forging. You people who traverse the sword path are just too pessimistic. Strange that we haven't heard Mu'er mention this.\”
When Village Chief heard him mention Qin Mu, he became unhappy. \”Mu'er fears nothing and no one, he's unable to sense this pinnacle. Given his coarse and reckless character, even if he sensed this pinnacle, he would charge over to piss at it! Founding Emperor's Sword Dao is simply too powerful. According to my estimate, if his Sword Dao advances another step, it will be imprinted onto the universe, with him becoming the first to achieve it using the Postcelestial Great Dao, hence refuting the Precelestials.\”
Mute and Blind's hearts trembled violently. What sort of realm could imprint the universe and refute the Precelestials?
\”Sword Dao, Knife Dao, formation techniques, forging techniques—these are Great Daos created by the Postcelestial lifeforms and don't belong to the Precelestials. Moreover, the Sword Dao of Founding Emperor has been cultivated to its peak and is indeed too powerful.\”
Village Chief said, \”Everyone who cultivates the Sword Dao is able to feel him clearly, unable to ignore his achievements. I sense that he is close to the peak of the Sword Dao. Maybe he will be the one to imprint a Postcelestial Great Dao onto the void of the universe. When he achieves that, it will then not be an exaggeration to refer to him as the Supreme Practitioner of Sword Dao.\”
Blind and Mute were shaken. The level that Village Chief described was simply too high. Although they each had their unique abilities and achievements, they were unable to imagine the terrifying amount of comprehension and creativity required to imprint their Great Daos on the void of the universe.
Village Chief heaved a sigh of relief and said, \”I wonder how Mu'er is getting on in the celestial heavens. When I think of the amount of humiliation and hardship he has to suffer under the gods of the celestial heavens, I…\”
His eyes turned red. He quickly stopped talking about Qin Mu and changed the subject. \”Why are the two of you here?\”
\”Mu'er has returned!\”
Blind smiled and said, \”There's news from Butcher. Two days ago, Mu'er visited the Surging River Academy and was chased away by him! I believe it won't be long before he comes over here!\”
Village Chief was extremely emotional, and his eyes turned red again. \”Mu'er is back? It's good that he's back… Wait a second, you mentioned that the moment Mu'er came back, he went to visit Butcher instead of us? Indeed, he loves Butcher more than us. We have raised him in vain…\”
Mute chuckled and said, \”When he visits us, we must provide him our best hospitality!\”
Village Chief and Blind both nodded their heads.
The Heavenly Dragon Treasure Carriage was getting close to the Heavenly Saint Academy. Inside the carriage, Qin Mu, Divine King Lang Wo, and Shu Jun finally refined the Grand Emperor's consciousness that was inside the bottle. Each of them received their share. Divine King Lang Wo incorporated the Grand Emperor's consciousness into her own, greatly increasing her cultivation level.
Shu Jun, in particular, had died once and was unable to recover his corporeal body and consciousness after he was brought back to life. Hence, he immediately reconstructed his corporeal body after refining the Grand Emperor's consciousness.
As one of the three ancient primordial kings, Shu Jun was naturally extremely shrewd. He knew that refined consciousness was ultimately inferior to that which he had cultivated, so he used the refined consciousness that he received to reconstruct his corporeal body!
He changed his existing frail and delicate appearance, becoming incomparably huge and imposing. Just the strength of this corporeal body was as powerful as an expert of the Numinous Sky Realm!
Qin Mu was full of envy.
They had also tidied up the Great Overarching Supreme Consciousness that was hidden in the Grand Emperor's consciousness. Qin Mu finally filled up the missing parts of the Great Overarching Supreme Consciousness that he had gotten before, except that the Grand Emperor's consciousness was still short of the celestial heavens cultivation technique.
However, with an Emperor's Throne level Great Overarching Supreme Consciousness technique, Qin Mu was pretty satisfied.
Within his 15 celestial palaces, the Great Overarching Consciousness celestial palace was unsophisticated and heavy. It weighed down on his other 13 celestial palaces, looking like it had the tendency to compete with Qin Mu's main celestial palace!
'When the guest supersedes the host, I worry there might be repercussions.'
Qin Mu frowned slightly. He examined his celestial palaces and felt a little uneasy. Eight of his celestial palaces were incomplete. Given the strength of the Great Overarching Consciousness celestial palace, if it ended up superseding his own celestial palaces, this would mean that the path of the Grand Emperor was better than his.
Superseding his celestial palaces was a small matter, but damaging his Dao heart was not!
If the Great Overarching Consciousness celestial palace actually surpassed his main celestial palace, his unrivaled Dao heart would be broken. He was worried that if he used the Great Overarching Consciousness celestial palace as the main celestial palace to build his celestial heavens, he would end up becoming just another Grand Emperor and wouldn't outdo him.
However, if his Dao heart got broken, there was a high possibility that he wouldn't ever be able to recover from the setback.
\”Grandpa Blind, Granny Si, you have to really work hard and perfect your Emperor's Throne techniques…\”
Qin Mu let out a long sigh as he thought, 'There are many Emperor's Throne techniques gathered by the celestial heavens over the years. If I could steal them and give them to Eternal Peace, Granny Si and the rest could absorb the nutrients from these techniques. By drawing parallels from inference, maybe they could end up creating their Emperor's Throne techniques. It's a pity…'
Finally, the Heavenly Dragon Treasure Carriage arrived at the Heavenly Saint Academy. Qin Mu got off the treasure carriage. Before he could enter the door, he heard the sound of \”Maha Maha\” traveling over. Hundreds of flood dragons cried sweetly as they engulfed him and the dragon qilin.
Qin Mu was licked by these dragons until his entire body was covered with dragon saliva. He managed to break free after much effort. However, the dragon qilin was still buried underneath these dragons. Yan'er hurriedly took out some spirit pills and lured those dragons away.
Qin Mu tidied his attire and took out a mirror to ensure his face didn't have any dragon saliva on it. Only then did he enter the academy.
The Heavenly Saint Academy was now called the Heavenly Saint Cult. However, the teaching methods of the academy remained. That hadn't been changed.
Granny Si, Deaf, and Apothecary stayed behind to manage the academy. Hence, the place was still in good order.
\”Mu'er, what a fine lady you have here.\”
Granny Si inspected Divine King Lang Wo from head to toe. The more she looked at her, the happier she was. She secretly gave Qin Mu a thumbs-up, causing Qin Mu's face to turn red. He hurriedly left to find Apothecary. Deaf's eyes sparkled as he took out a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. He sat down, preparing to draw the portraits of Granny Si and Divine King Lang Wo. However, he hesitated for a long time, not knowing how to start.
