Yanâer looked at that pathetic Great Emperorâs attempt to extinguish the flames. She flapped her wings and asked, âMaster, why canât they extinguish your devilish flames? I see that their vital qi, cultivation, and divine art power are much stronger than yours.â
âThey havenât learned it before!â
Qin Mu coldly mocked, âIn other words, Celestial Venerable Huo hasnât taught them before!â
The dragon qilin carefully looked at Qin Mu and said, âCult Master, I think Southern Heaven is still fine. At least people can settle down here without worrying about disasters until theyâre 60 years old. The people here are happy and appear to be carefree.â
âIf they have no long term concerns, they must have short term ones. People thrive in worry and die in peace. If no one invades from the outside, they can continue to thrive as a secluded world without ever knowing about the world outside.â
Qin Mu coldly mocked, âIf an enemy from the outside invaded, how long do you think these indulgent and inflexible idiots of Southern Heaven could last? Without talking about others, my third brother, Jiang Baigui, could annihilate the nations of Southern Heaven dozens of times, including the millions of gods and devils of the Red Deity Celestial Palace, with a small army of a few hundred beings in the Jade Capital Realm!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Filled with anger, he swept up his sleeves and said, âGo and extinguish the flames, Yanâer!â
Yanâer thought about it. It was Youduâs divine art, which she had watched Qin Mu cultivate before. Thus, she flew forward as a fat girl and waved her hands, causing the flames to disappear.
Celestial Venerable Huoâs disciples in the city were dumbstruck as they all looked at her. The strong practitioner of the Emperorâs Throne Realm hurriedly paid his respects. âLady, your abilities are extraordinary. Which divine mountain are you the saint of? I, Yan Yazi, hereby pay my respects to you!â
Yanâer was disgusted with Celestial Venerable Huo, so she didnât like his disciples. Thus, she left after giving a humph.
Yan Yazi was stunned. He swept up his sleeves and said, âSuch a lack of manners! How impudent!â
The masses remarked, âCelestial Venerable said that only villains and women are hard to deal with! Such manners arenât common!â
Qin Mu led the dragon qilin and Yanâer out of the city. Suddenly, he stopped as if he had a eureka moment, confusing the dragon qilin and Yanâer.
Suddenly, Qin Mu shouted, âIâve figured out Celestial Venerable Huoâs weakness!â
The dragon qilin became enlightened. âCelestial Venerable Huoâs weakness is Youdu divine arts! This is a lethal weakness! No, itâs a fatal weakness!â
Qin Mu nodded and said, âThe fact that his disciples canât extinguish my devilish flames proves that Celestial Venerable Huo doesnât understand them either. He has extremely low attainments in Youdu divine arts. That means that although his primordial spirit is strong, his soul is weak. This weakness of his is fatal!â
Celestial Venerable Huo killed South Deity and refined and occupied her cultivation. This made him incredibly strong in magic power. Even if he wasnât the first of the ten Celestial Venerables, he was at least in the top three.
No one could beat his attainment in the path of fire divine arts, for he at least fused 18 Emperorâs Throne techniques. This proved that he was one of the stronger Celestial Venerables.
Yet, his weakness was too big!
The one who could kill him easily was thus the daughter of Earth Count, Celestial Venerable Xu!
âCelestial Venerable Huo knows this, so he gets close to Celestial Venerable Xu. He doesnât have the fiery temper that others think. Instead, heâs quite a schemer.â
Qin Mu thought, âOutside of Celestial Venerable Xu, thereâs also Celestial Venerable You. Could this be the reason that he and Celestial Venerable You have a strained relationship?â
âActually, Son of Heaven Yin could threaten him too. His weakness is too big. There will be trails left behind regardless of how well he hides it...â
When there was an invasion of Southern Heaven, it would be plunged into chaos since they wouldnât be able to resist at all. Only then would his sins and demerits be shown by the massacre of his people.
By then, he would become the sinner that dragged the human race down.
His ideals and persistence would crumble and collapse. By then, he would realize his mistakes. Before that, he would be a man who at least sheltered humans despite all the weird rules he imposed on them.
His merits and demerits were unseen by the people of Southern Heaven then. Even some people of Eternal Peace who went there might feel that Southern Heaven was a pure land for humanity.
If Qin Mu forcefully said that he was a sinner, he would anger the people of Southern Heaven. They would cry for him to be lynched without understanding him.
It took a lot of time to judge a personâs merits and demerits. It was only when the dust of history settled that one would know where one erred.
Qin Mu calmed himself down to look for a place with beautiful scenery in Southern Heaven to visualize some houses. He would live in them and carefully comprehend Celestial Venerable Lingâs letter.
He had many comprehensions during those few days of understanding. Yet, he still couldnât form a system.
The dragon qilin and Yanâer got to settle down for once, so they let loose and ran around the place. With no one to disturb Qin Muâs peace, he put his potted plant on the table and entered it, arriving at the house inside.
The tea on the table was still warm. Qin Mu lifted the cup, which should have been left behind by Wei Suifeng. He smelled it and felt refreshed.
Qin Mu read while drinking tea.
Celestial Venerable Lingâs letter was more on the path of creation, but it lacked mathematical reasonings and was hard to read.
Qin Mu was an expert in the path of creation, yet it was difficult for him to read through Celestial Venerable Lingâs letter. Sometimes, he had to use divine weapons to calculate before he could understand her.
âNo wonder the celestial heavens couldnât decipher its contents despite having it for 40,000 years. If I took this to Dao Ancestor, he might not understand it either.â
Qin Mu couldnât help but admire Celestial Venerable Ling, for her letter had a wide range of knowledge. A large portion of it was beyond the scope of algebra. Algebra couldnât answer it at all.
Yet the contents of the back of her letter stated how her comprehension left the path of creation to reach another realm without life or death, disease or disasters.
She comprehended that all changes come from changes in substances. Life, death, and pestilence came from changes in substances. Becoming a god was also a result of changes in substances.
Qin Mu even felt that almost all of the ancient gods were made out of substances. As long as there were substances, Celestial Venerable Lingâs divine art could counter them.
It was just that Celestial Venerable Lingâs letter lacked the documentation and records of the power of such a divine art. She was like a researcher who cared little about how powerful it was.
Yet, Qin Mu saw terrifying potential in her divine art!
âPerhaps, the number one divine art of the Postcelestial Great Dao isnât Founding Emperorâs Sword Dao, but Celestial Venerable Lingâs unchanging divine art. Her beliefs can become the most terrifying divine art in the world!â
Qin Mu suddenly felt a chill down his spine. Although Celestial Venerable Lingâs divine art couldnât deal with beings born from Great Dao like Heaven Duke, Earth Count, Celestial Empress, Yuanmu, and Goddess of Heavenly Yin, it could deal with Celestial Emperor and the Grand Emperor easily.
She could even return Celestial Emperor back to his egg!
Celestial Venerable Ling wasnât good at combat, while Qin Mu made his living from it. As long as the egg of Celestial Emperor Tai Chu was still around, Celestial Venerable Ling could use unchanging substance to send him back to his egg and prevent him from being born!
As for the Grand Emperorâs Great Overarching Supreme Consciousness, it would be completely suppressed without the chance of coming back!
Finally, Qin Mu finished reading it. He couldnât help but yawn, lie down on the bookcases, and fall asleep.
As he began to snore, his hair rose as little Qin Mus peeked out. They looked around, found no one, and became excited as they hollered.
Thousands of little Qin Mus climbed out of Qin Muâs dreamscape. They jumped up and down to flip through Celestial Venerable Lingâs letter. Some sat on the ground, while some sat on the table. Some even sat on Qin Muâs head to study it.
