1022 The Dragon in the Sky (1/2)
The dragon qilin untied the ropes on his body and glanced at Qin Mu, who returned his gaze with a fierce stare. The dragon qilin hurriedly said, ”Cult Master, I didn't say you have to pull the carriage!”
Divine King Lang Wo laughed. ”Let's get off the carriage and fly over.”
Qin Mu nodded and got off the carriage with her. He left the six dragon gods behind. ”Guard this treasure carriage and wait for my return.”
The six dragon gods nodded. Qin Mu then led Divine King Lang Wo, the dragon qilin, and Yan'er towards the Green Dragon Celestial Palace.
They traversed above the sky. Below their feet, mountains were continuously rising and falling. Even the clouds were underneath them.
In the sky, there was a god city built by divine dragons. It was extraordinarily luxurious and vast, and the architecture was intricate and extravagant, astonishing enough to take one's breath away.
”Yan'er hasn't been here before?” Qin Mu asked.
Yan'er shook her head and flew around curiously, observing the scenery of this East Pole.
She was the daughter of South Deity Zhu Que and East Deity Qing Long and was sent to Celestial Venerable Yue when she was young. She had developed a habit of wanting to wait on people and was rarely out.
Celestial Venerable Yue had lived in seclusion in the peach forest. On ordinary days, Yan'er could only roam about within the forest. Only when Celestial Venerable Yue had given her to Qin Mu did she have the opportunity to experience the countless worlds.
Her father, East Deity Qing Long, was foreign to her. He had never interacted or visited her before. South Deity Zhu Que also seldom visited her. It was only during her last trip to the celestial heavens that she managed to spend a few days with South Deity Zhu Que.
'I wonder where the Numinous Treasure Mountain is.'
Qin Mu looked around, wanting to find the rumored Numinous Treasure Mountain.
He was very curious about the Numinous Treasure Mountain. He had first heard of the mountain from Zhe Huali, who mentioned that there was a divine mountain in the East Pole named the Numinous Treasure Mountain. It was used by East Deity Qing Long to grind his teeth.
East Deity Qing Long's lifeforce was strong, and his dragon teeth were continuously growing and had to be ground frequently. Hence, he used the Numinous Treasure Mountain to grind his teeth. As they fell on the mountain, they transformed into strange tooth-shaped creatures.
Many youths of the celestial heavens who were learning knives would head towards this Numinous Treasure Mountain looking for treasure, trying to get a piece of the dragon tooth knife. This was how Zhe Huali got his demon knife.
This demon knife had a strange and marvelous ability. When the Carefree Sword was in Qin Mu's hands, it clashed with the demon knife several times. Although the knife suffered cracks, it was able to quickly regenerate itself back to its original state. It was simply remarkable.
Previously, when Qin Mu was opening and closing the doors of the three houses at the Void Bridge in the Land of the Great Void, he unintentionally saw East Deity Qing Long squinting his eyes as he held onto a divine mountain to grind his teeth.
Whether it was East Deity Qing Long's dragon teeth or the Numinous Treasure Mountain, they were remarkable treasures, making him very envious.
In particular, since the Numinous Treasure Mountain was able to wear down East Deity's dragon teeth, its quality would be far better than the dragon teeth, further arousing the enthusiasm in Qin Mu's heart!
There were magnificent mountains everywhere in the East Pole. Every divine mountain was extremely tall and imposing. These were rarely seen in the Primordial Realm.
The vast and mighty celestial river gushed from the starry sky, right into the East Pole, flowing beside the Green Dragon Celestial Palace. Many divine dragons were swimming in the river. There were also plenty of fish dragons leaping up from the river, spitting out dragon pearls whose brilliance could compete with the sun and the moon in the sky.
'That mountain should be the Numinous Treasure Mountain!'
Qin Mu saw that there was a magnificent mountain behind the Green Dragon Celestial Palace that looked like the king of mountains. Its height far surpassed other divine mountains, and it didn't only have one peak but as many as nine.
This row of mountain ridges were adorned with brilliant jewels and pearls, looking extremely resplendent. It didn't look smaller than Mount Meru, which had 20 heavens.
'East Deity Qing Long coiled around the Numinous Treasure Mountain over there to grind his teeth?'
Qin Mu tried to imagine the scene of Qing Long grinding his teeth and exclaimed, ”The size of East Deity is definitely not small!”
”Cult Master, there are people from the celestial heavens here!” the dragon qilin whispered as he looked at the god city in front of them.
Qin Mu's heart turned cold as he looked at that god city. The gods in the city weren't of the dragon race, they were gods and devils of the great army of the celestial heavens. They were practicing with their weaponry and drilling their formations. It looked like this army was garrisoned here by the celestial heavens.
However, this god city was built upon the palm of the divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu. Or should he say, the divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu was holding this god city on his palm!
Qin Mu looked up and inspected the divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu. It was different from the one in the Primordial Realm. This Celestial Venerable Yu had eight arms. It sat upright in the sky and was still. Six of his arms were fanned out with their palms opened, each holding a god city.
The god city they saw previously was just one of the many.
The two arms at the center each had the form of a mudra. These mudras contained hidden profound theory, giving people a feeling that there was boundless energy waiting to explode.
Also, these two mudras faced the East Pole's Green Dragon Celestial Palace directly!
The divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu had four faces, and his eyes were closed.
'I'm afraid that East Deity Qing Long would find it hard to sleep peacefully. This divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu is bigger than the Numinous Treasure Mountain, and it's not smaller than the body of East Deity. As for its power, that would be quite hard to determine.'
Qin Mu looked at the divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu and thought, 'I wonder which Celestial Venerable is controlling this divine weapon. If it suddenly launches an attack, I worry it would be difficult for East Deity to escape!'
Many idling gods, devils, and divine arts practitioners flew out from the six god cities. Most of them were either carrying a knife case or a long knife. They flew towards the Numinous Treasure Mountain, looking to be half-gods seeking treasures.
The voice of a half-god rang loud and clear. ”East Deity is grinding his teeth again. Quick, let's go pick up the treasures!”
From the six god cities, thousands of gods, devils, and divine arts practitioners flew out with a whoosh, bustling with activity as they gathered like clouds. It was a busy and lively scene.
Qin Mu was envious when he heard those words. He thought, 'The dragon tooth knife is considered an outstanding specimen among knives. It's very difficult to find a better divine knife than that in this world. If it was refined by Eternal Peace's microscopic forging techniques, the power of this divine knife would surely be incomparably terrifying! It's a pity I'm a Celestial Venerable, it wouldn't be appropriate for me to be seeking treasures…'
He was in a dilemma. He wanted to run over to pick up the dragon teeth but was too embarrassed to do so. If East Deity knew about this, he would definitely mock him.
”Holy infant, this East Pole isn't the ancestral court. Hence, I won't be going to the Green Dragon Celestial Palace.”
Divine King Lang Wo's eyes flickered as she looked at the divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu. She said, ”In the Primordial Realm, I didn't have time to examine this divine weapon. I would like to inspect it here in great detail, studying whether this divine weapon has any weaknesses.”
Qin Mu nodded. ”It's also good that Divine King Sister doesn't visit East Deity. If he discovers that you are a master of creation, he might create trouble. I may have a deep friendship with Earth Count, but I don't have much of a relationship with East Deity. As to why he helped me in the celestial heavens, it was because of my status as Invincible Great Wizard.”
Divine King Lang Wo left, walking into one of the god cities on the divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu's palms.
