Chapter 1190 - Rare Warmth
Tales Of Herding Gods | Chapter 1190 – Rare Warmth
As soon as Tai Su left, Qin Mu immediately left Celestial Venerable Gong’s territory. He smiled at an empress who was sending him off. “Sihua, hold on.”
The empress was the disciple of Celestial Venerable Gong, and her name was Nian Sihua. She said, “Celestial Venerable Mu, my master has ordered me to be respectful to you. Even if Celestial Venerable Mu leads the human emperors of Hall of Human Emperors to block the gate, I will still welcome you warmly and send you off.”
Qin Mu laughed loudly and said, “Thank you for your hospitality. Please stay.” After saying that, he floated away.
Nian Sihua watched him leave and frowned slightly. He said in a low voice, “I really don’t know what Master is thinking. He actually gave him a tenth of the divine stone that he had painstakingly dug out. This Celestial Venerable Mu is a playboy and doesn’t have any real talent. One look and I can tell he’s a frivolous person. He’s the same kind of person as Son of Heaven Yin. Master, don’t be deceived by him…”
Qin Mu obtained eight Tai Su Divine Stones from Nian Sihua and was satisfied. ‘After refining these eight pieces of consciousness, I should be able to refine the egg liquid I drank. At most, there will be some left, but there’s nothing to worry about.’
He took out a Divine Stone of Tai Su and clenched his fist gently. The Divine Stone of Tai Su vanished and reappeared in his stomach, corresponding to the stubborn egg liquid.
Qin Mu felt the Dao runes of the Tai Su Dao and felt his cultivation rising. He also understood all kinds of Great Dao runes of the Tai Su Realm, which made him feel quite comfortable. ‘I’ve studied the egg of Tai Shi for such a long time, and only then did I manage to research the runes of Tai Shi. However, there must be an even deeper level of Great Dao runes in the runes of Tai Shi. Just by refining the egg liquid, I can understand so many Great Dao runes of the Tai Su Realm. If I can break open the egg of Tai Shi and extract the Tai Shi divine stone to refine the Tai Shi egg liquid, my cultivation will definitely be twice as fast!’
He couldn’t help but think about it and shook his head.
The egg of Tai Shi was incomparably hard, and even a peak Emperor’s Throne like Wei Suifeng couldn’t split it apart. Instead, three of his fingers were shattered.
Qin Mu naturally couldn’t either.
On the other hand, the Tai Su Egg had used the terrifying power brought about by the destruction of the previous universe to shatter the egg. Qin Mu absolutely didn’t want to experience such a terrifying situation again!
He carried Celestial Venerable Yue’s lantern and walked towards the crack in the sky above the ancestral court, passing through the seal he had left behind.
Qin Mu examined the Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge he had left outside the ancestral court and observed it carefully. He sneered and said, “This bridge has been destroyed eight times. Celestial Venerable Hong, Celestial Venerable Xiao, and Celestial Venerable Gong probably won’t destroy my bridge. In that case, the other Celestial Venerables will be the ones to make a move. The eighth time should be that little girl Yun Chuxiu!”
He thought of Yun Chuxiu and couldn’t help but think of the Patriarch Creation Palace Master, Shi Qiluo, the burly man with a full beard.
Qin Mu shook his head and boarded the Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge.
This Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge connected Eternal Peace, and when he walked out of it, he was already near Eternal Peace’s capital city. Qin Mu let out a sigh of relief and walked into the capital city. He met Ling Yuxiu and talked about his experience in the ancestral court.
Ling Yuxiu said, “Stay in the palace for a few days, it won’t be too late to leave after refining that weird egg liquid.”
Qin Mu acknowledged and stayed temporarily in the palace. Ling Yuxiu came to find him after settling the affairs of the court, but she saw Qin Mu sitting in the pavilion in the imperial garden in a daze.
Ling Yuxiu sat down beside him and waved her hand to dismiss the palace maids. She asked with a smile, “What is Imperial Preceptor thinking about?”
“I’m thinking about the battle in the Great Void.”
Qin Mu pondered and said, “Even though the Land of the Great Void is dangerous, it’s hard to defend against the attacks of the celestial heavens. The celestial heavens are too strong, so it’s only a matter of time before they conquer the Land of the Great Void. Now that the void beast is under the control of the dragon qilin, should I let the dragon qilin bring the void beast to the Great Void for battle?”
Ling Yuxiu thought about it and said, “If the Grand Emperor appears in the Great Void, can the dragon qilin protect the mother beast?”
“I’m also thinking about this problem.”
The two of them sat in the pavilion and admired the scenery. Neither of them spoke, cherishing this rare peace.
Qin Mu got up and took off his shoes. He sat beside the pavilion and placed his feet in the water.
Ling Yuxiu said with a smile, “You still have the temper of a child, be careful not to stink your feet and suffocate my fish to death.”
Qin Mu patted the empty space beside him and smiled. “Come and sit with me.”
Ling Yuxiu shook her head. “I’m the emperor now, how can I be like you?”
“There’s no one nearby.”
Ling Yuxiu hesitated for a moment and looked around. Only then did she take off her boots and sit beside him. She carefully placed her feet into the water and let out a sigh of relief. “Freedom. I haven’t taken off my shoes in front of people for many years.”
Qin Mu laughed loudly.
Ling Yuxiu suddenly leaned on his shoulder. There were two people and four legs slapping the water surface.
After a while, Ling Yuxiu leaned on his shoulder and fell asleep. Qin Mu didn’t move and watched her sleep soundly.
When Ling Yuxiu woke up, the lanterns were already lit. She hurriedly jumped up and grumbled, “Why didn’t you wake me up?”
Qin Mu said with a smile, “I saw that you were too tired, so I didn’t wake you up. There were still some palace maids that came here and were chased back by me.”
Ling Yuxiu immediately put on her shoes and said, “They are here to urge me to go to the imperial study. I haven’t approved the memorials yet, so I have to go and do it.”
Qin Mu got up and put on his shoes. “I’ll go with you.”
Ling Yuxiu shook her head. “If those people see you helping me to approve memorials, they will report to the imperial court that you are in charge of politics and want to kill you.”
Qin Mu couldn’t help laughing. “There’s still contrarians?”
“There are many.”
“I’ll go with you. As Imperial Preceptor, I haven’t dealt with the politics of the empire for over ten years. If those people like to talk, let them talk. At most, you can just kill their heads and secretly send them to the place. Do you have a small notebook?”
“Of course! Ling Family’s tradition can’t be lost!”
The two of them were reading memorials in the imperial study, and before they knew it, the sky had already turned bright. A hen dragon cried out, and the other hen dragons followed suit.
Ling Yuxiu yawned and said in a hurry, “I’ll go wash my face first and eat something. I’m about to go to court. If I go late, I’ll be in a heated argument again.”
Qin Mu also stood up and wanted to hug her, but he saw the palace maids carrying the items to wash up. He could only endure it and said, “Your Majesty, I have already refined the divine stone and egg liquid. It’s time to settle my matters.”
Ling Yuxiu washed her face in the basin and raised her head with a smile. “Go do what you need to do, go ahead. I’m here.”
Qin Mu felt warm in his heart and said gently, “Your Majesty, take care of your body.”
Ling Yuxiu’s heart was also warm, and she said gently, “Imperial Preceptor is too much, you can’t work too hard.”
Qin Mu bowed and left the imperial study. He raised his head to look at the white spewing from the east.
He tidied his clothes, and while the sky was still dark, he carried Celestial Venerable Yue’s lantern and headed towards the Surging River.
“Big senior brother, the soldiers on the ghost ship, I promised to free you from the unchanging divine art. Now, I can finally do it!”
When the sun rose, he had already reached Surging River.
Qin Mu stood on the river surface and saw a red sun leaping out from the east. The river water rippled, and when it was shone on by the rising red sun, it was like thousands of big red fish jumping on the water surface.
He put away the lantern and took out Celestial Venerable Ling’s peachwood hairpin. With a gentle stroke, a ghost ship appeared under the river surface. Its mast broke through the water surface and slid rapidly under the water!
