1031 Freeing the Crown Prince (1/2)

He now had to ascertain the rough position of the ancestral court. He still knew nothing about it and the exact spatial geographic data of the four poles, Xuandu, and the abyss of the Ruins of End. He also had to ascertain the exact spatial coordinates of the dimension of where the Dragon Han Celestial Heavens was previously.

Only then could he precisely locate the ancestral court.

One could use the data from the Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridges for the spatial geography of the four poles, Xuandu, and the abyss.

The Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge was designed by Qin Mu and black tiger god, and one needed different spatial geographic data for the bridge to connect different worlds. Thus, it wasn't hard for Qin Mu to obtain such data.

It was just that no Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge was connected to the abyss of the Ruins of End. Even if there was one, it was probably in the hands of Celestial Empress and Yuanmu.

However, Qin Mu went there before. All he needed to do to confirm its spatial dimension was to go there again.

The only problem he had was finding out the altitude of the Dragon Han Celestial Heavens.

In this aspect, he didn't have accurate data.

After he figured out its specific coordinates, he could build a large spatial teleportation formation to teleport straight towards the ancestral court.

'No wonder North Deity Xuan Wu's crown prince, You Ming, claimed that he met me during the Dragon Han Era. I was probably there to measure the celestial heavens' altitude.'

Qin Mu was visibly perplexed as he thought, 'Then, when did I go to the Dragon Han Celestial Heavens? Who was the couple that stole the Black Tortoise Celestial Palace's Glassy Sky Pagoda? The reverse side of the celestial heavens is part of the ancestral court seal, so why did the celestial heavens move up? If the celestial heavens moved, wouldn't there be a hole for the seal?'

He was going to carefully research its consequence, but the heavenly dragon's voice came from the carriage exterior again. ”Celestial Venerable, Deity Wu is here to receive you!”

'There's no time. I will calculate the consequences after I leave the North Pole!'

Qin Mu couldn't think too much about it, so he dispersed the Grand Star Atlas of the Universe and smiled. ”Fatty Dragon, Yan'er, follow me to see Deity Wu!”

The carriage stopped, and he stepped out of it. He saw the other half of the Black Tortoise Celestial Palace in front of him, with Deity Wu and her entourage of female god officials waiting for him.

Unlike what Deity Xuan said, Deity Wu wasn't a witch. Instead, she seemed more proper and solemn than Deity Xuan. This lady wore an imperial robe that was black and red with a tree peony fragrance diagram sewn into it. Snakes swam between the flowers, and some looked like they were about to fly.

Her eyebrows were like a goose with its wings open. There was a peony in her eyebrows and some light powdering on her lips. She wasn't as imposing or fierce as Deity Xuan said. She was formal and well-mannered as she said, ”Celestial Venerable Mu.”

Qin Mu hurriedly got off the carriage to return the greeting. ”Sister Deity Wu.”

Deity Wu couldn't help but smile. ”People claim that you call every lady you meet Sister. It appears that it's true.”

Qin Mu solemnly said, ”Not always.”

Deity Wu acknowledged it, and Qin Mu continued, ”I can't help but call beautiful ladies 'sisters'. Just now, I did that when I met you, Deity Wu. My mouth is more honest than my heart.”

Deity Wu laughed, shook her head, and said, ”You are honest. It's rare to find honest men nowadays, unlike that cheap man in my household who doesn't know how to sweeten his tongue at all. All he does is anger me. I get angry just by speaking to him.”

Qin Mu smiled. ”Brother-in-law is honest too. He just doesn't know how to properly express himself.”

The dragon qilin secretly praised him, 'Cult Master really knows how to talk! He called Deity Wu 'Sister-in-law' in front of Deity Xuan and Deity Xuan 'Brother-in-law' in front of Deity Wu. He sounds like their brother. He is becoming more and more powerful after reading my Human Rearing Sculptures! It's looking like he will become better than me!'

”Let's not talk about him.”

Deity Wu invited him, ”Let's talk inside.”

She glanced at the dragon qilin and Yan'er. She was visibly perplexed as she asked, ”Could this be the princess of the Vermillion Bird Residence?”

Yan'er returned the favor hurriedly and said, ”Yan'er hereby greets aunt.”

Deity Wu was intimate to her as she went forward to take Yan'er's hand. She smiled. ”I hugged you when you were small. Your mother was ruthless to send you away. By the way, since you all came from the East Pole, you've seen your father, right?”

Yan'er was visibly upset.

Deity Wu saw that and smiled. ”East Deity has so many sons, he probably didn't think that he had a princess like you.”

Qin Mu probed her, ”Sister Deity Wu, when I arrived here, I saw your son, You Ming, and how bitter of a condition he's in. He's carrying a divine mountain while it's so cold here. I know he made a mistake from talking to him and that he's being punished by you. But, it has been 600,000 years. I can't help but pity him and cry…”

Deity Wu coldly smiled. ”He deserves it for losing the Glassy Sky Pagoda! That was what we forged over our lives, yet he lost it. His carelessness should be punished!”

Qin Mu nodded and said, ”Yes, but children can be naughty. As long as he understands the punishment, it's enough. Truth be told, I went to see Brother-in-law just now and talked to him about it. I wanted to plead mercy for your son, yet he was furious and ordered people to go whip him 99 times!”

Deity Wu was furious. ”You pleaded mercy, and yet that glutton chose to beat him up instead of being understanding? All this old thing does is handle internal affairs. If I didn't run around so busily outside, he wouldn't be able to hold on to this North Pole! He would've been crawling in the celestial river and been cold and hungry! Now he acts like he's so competent by hitting his own son!”

Qin Mu sighed. ”Please calm down, Sister. Your son, You Ming, understood his mistake and suffered the whip. It's time to free him, or else Brother-in-law might whip him again. What good would that do?”

Deity Wu called the maids around her and said, ”Take my decree out, and free the prince and get him here instead of his d*mn dad! His dad can do nothing. All he does after encountering anything is hide in his shell and push me to help him out! If he follows his dad, he will be just as useless! Quickly, quickly!”

That palace maid left hurriedly.
