1062 Heres Your Hairpin (1/2)
The waves of the celestial river turned as if the celestial river was the long river of time. Sometimes, the waves were violent and fast, while sometimes, they were calm and slow.
Celestial Venerable Yun's boat went along the celestial river. He interacted quite a bit with the Great Void's masters of creation and learned a lot of primordial history. His chest heaved like the celestial river.
Primordial history was too interesting, but it was also treacherous. Danger was everywhere. He couldn't help but think too much about it.
He recalled the beautiful face of Lang Wo too. A blaze was ignited whenever he thought about her.
Lang Wo then was full of youth and mesmerizing energy. She was pure and innocent too. He was enthralled upon seeing her.
Unfortunately, he could only suppress his feelings, for humans were more important to him.
'There won't be peace unless the Grand Emperor and Celestial Emperor are eliminated.'
He looked calm, yet energy and passion filled his eyes. His deep wisdom was hidden beneath his calm exterior.
'The Great Void will be a shelter for humans. If we fail, we need a place to hide. If Luo Xiao's three prophecies come true, then I should think about how to deal with the Grand Emperor's invasion of the Great Void.'
The torrent hidden in his gaze became faster and faster.
On the celestial river, high waves hit his boat and lifted it.
When the boat was on top of the wave, Celestial Venerable Yun's clothes fluttered with the wind.
Beneath him was a vast empire filled with slow rainbow clouds that his eyes took in.
This was his era!
He was determined to be the trend-setter of this chaotic era, to be the one to lead humans to glory never seen before, to be the one that left behind the greatest mark in history!
He was going to bring forth the death of the Grand Emperor and Celestial Emperor. The era of the ancient gods would end at his hands. The Heaven Alliance would also fracture at his hands. Those that overthrew the ancient gods would replace them as the new rulers.
Yet, Celestial Venerable Yun knew none of that. He looked at the mountains surrounded by clouds, his chest filled with heroism.
A large wave fell, and the carriage left the fog and reappeared in the Dragon Han Era.
It was just that times had changed, and they didn't know how far they were from the Heaven Han Celestial Heavens.
In that era, Celestial Venerable Mu's shocking accomplishment started a revolution. However, not many people knew about what Celestial Venerable Mu did.
Qin Mu calmed himself and changed his appearance back to Mu Qing.
'We don't know which year of the Dragon Han Era we're in. Unfortunate. Even Big Brother doesn't know which year of the Dragon Han Era the ghost ship stopped at.'
Qin Mu stood up and said to Yan'er, ”Yan'er, hang the lantern properly. The waves are big. Don't let it be extinguished by the waves.”
Yan'er nodded and went to hang it properly, saying, ”Master, can I see my mother this time?”
Qin Mu smiled and said, ”As long as nothing goes wrong, we should be able to. Relax, once we see her, we can set up the trap. Even if Celestial Venerable Huo kills her, she won't really die.”
He put his hands behind his back as he watched Yan'er hang the lantern. He was filled with confidence.
Yan'er cheered and went to feed the dragon qilin and the six dragons diligently. She also fished out the tiny Earth Count in the dragon qilin's ears to feed him spirit pills.
The tiny Earth Count sat down and hugged a large spirit pill to chew on it.
The boats went around on the celestial river. They were bustling with activity. Qin Mu looked out after pushing open the windows and saw that there were way more boats on the celestial river than in the first year of the Dragon Han Era. Humans were enjoying more prosperity too. Qin Mu also saw many human gods driving ships on the celestial river.
'It really is good for the people that Celestial Venerable Yun rules the world.'
Qin Mu smiled and thought, 'He should be Celestial Emperor Yun by now, right? It's unfortunate that I couldn't see him when I went to the Dragon Han Era last time. I might be able to meet him this time. We only met once, at the Jade Pool Meeting of the first year of the Dragon Han Era, but we never talked in detail.'
He was suddenly stunned. It was weird that in his will for his family, he mentioned that Celestial Venerable Yun never met Celestial Venerable Mu after that. He could only use Brahma Buddha's technique to disguise himself as Celestial Venerable Mu and use his identity to do things.
'Could it really be that we never met each other after?'
Qin Mu shuddered. Could it really be true that the both of them could only look at one another from afar throughout history?
That would be a sorrowful reality.
”Dragon Pi, let's go to the humans' Heaven Han Celestial Heavens.”
Qin Mu's voice came from within as it faintly said, ”I want to see how my old human friends are doing.”
The dragon qilin responded and whispered to Yan'er, ”Cult Master is weird. He always used to call me Fatty Dragon. Now, he calls me Dragon Pi instead, my real name. How weird…”
Yan'er couldn't help but say, ”How can you be so smart for important things but be so dumb for small things? Fatty Dragon is a childish nickname, while Dragon Pi is a proper name. He thought of you as small and immature previously, so he called you Fatty Dragon. Now that he feels that you're mature and grown-up, he calls you by your proper name. That's the same for parents and seniors. They will call you by your proper name once they feel that you've grown up.”
”Pooh pooh, nonsense! Cult Master isn't raising me like I'm his son!”
”No? Who made you food? Who taught you techniques? Who doted on you?”
The dragon qilin was in a daze as the tiny Earth Count laughed.
The dragon qilin's head drooped in a depressed manner. ”My Human Rearing Scripture might be in vain. My Dao heart is going to collapse…”
The carriage moved towards the celestial river. The humans' Heaven Han Celestial Heavens was built in front. Qin Mu was excited. 'Maybe I can see Celestial Venerable Yun this time. Maybe he'll be at the Heaven Han Celestial Heavens!'
The Heaven Han Celestial Heavens was way larger than before. When observed from afar, it appeared luxurious and glorious. The original celestial heavens was still there, but it was small. The human gods had built many palaces around it and attracted even more celestial river tributaries to lift them.
Qin Mu looked at it and saw many boats sailing out of the tributaries. It was bustling with activity. Gods flew up to the Heaven Han Celestial Heavens from below and left trails of light in the air.
'Celestial Venerable Yun ruled very well, as expected.'
Qin Mu was filled with glee as he ordered the dragon qilin to stop. They halted a passing boat. It was loaded with cargo, and it was likely heading to the other heavens via the celestial river to sell goods.
Gods guarded the boat, and they came to inquire about why they were stopped. They saw how extraordinary the Heavenly Dragon Treasure Carriage was and didn't dare to be slow.
Qin Mu walked out of the carriage and asked, ”Brother, which year of the Dragon Han Era are we in?”
That god smiled and said, ”I don't know the specific year. However, I do know the year of the Heaven Han Celestial Heavens. This year is the hundred thousandth year since Celestial Emperor Yun ascended to the throne. If you were early, you could have seen the ceremony, but unfortunately, you're late.”
'It has been 100,000 years since Celestial Emperor Yun ascended the throne?'
