Chapter 662: This Is Not My Fat Dragon

Qin Mu, with a pleasant expression, helped him up. In truth, he couldn't really support him, but was merely making a gesture of peace. The Crimsonbright Divine Son quickly said, "Don't touch me! My bones are broken!"

Qin Mu let go, taking the opportunity, and said gravely, "This was merely a misunderstanding between us. I mistakenly believed Your Highness intended to kill me, and Your Highness mistakenly believed I posed a threat to the Hanging World. That's why this conflict occurred. Thankfully, the misunderstanding has now been resolved, and there were no casualties."

The Crimsonbright Divine Son's eye twitched. No casualties? Are you blind? Can't you see me lying on the ground? Can't you see all these fallen Crimsonbright soldiers?

Even the sacred mountain lost a peak, and the sacred palace was dismantled!

Qin Mu looked around, speaking both to the Crimsonbright gods and devils hovering in the air, wanting to approach but hesitant, and to the Crimsonbright Divine Son. He said, "I just encountered Emperor Chi. Seeing my extraordinary talent and comprehension, Emperor Chi admired my abilities and thus imparted to me the Three-Yuan God Undying Divine Consciousness Scripture."

At these words, a commotion erupted in the air, and the Crimsonbright Divine Son was also filled with doubt and surprise.

The Three-Yuan God Undying Divine Consciousness Scripture was created by Emperor Chi. It had been lost since Emperor Chi's disappearance. Even Emperor Ming did not cultivate this technique; instead, he forged his own path and created a new one: the Imperfect Creation Profound Scripture.

The Imperfect Battle God Scripture cultivated by Ban Gocuo originated from the Carefree Creation Profound Scripture.

Emperor Ming had once attempted to complete the Three-Yuan God Undying Divine Consciousness, but he was always unable to do so.

This was because the two emperors of the Crimsonbright era each excelled in different areas. Emperor Chi was skilled in primordial spirit creation but not highly proficient in physical body creation, while Emperor Ming excelled in physical body creation but was not highly proficient in primordial spirit creation.

Therefore, during Emperor Chi's era, practitioners were renowned for their three-headed, six-armed primordial spirits, whereas during Emperor Ming's era, they were known for their three-headed, six-armed physical bodies. One was strong in primordial spirit, the other in physical body; both had remarkable aspects but also significant flaws.

Emperor Ming had once said that if he could obtain Emperor Chi's Three-Yuan God Undying Divine Consciousness, it would advance the cultivation techniques of the Crimsonbright era significantly, achieving unprecedented feats. However, unfortunately, Emperor Chi's whereabouts were unknown.

The reason the Crimsonbright Divine Son frequently visited the Sacred Palace, besides offering sacrifices to Emperor Chi and honoring ancestors, was also to obtain the Three-Yuan God Undying Divine Consciousness through Emperor Chi's brain.

But how could Emperor Chi impart this technique, which he had painstakingly sought for fifty thousand years without success, to an outsider?

Could Emperor Chi's magnanimity be so vast that he no longer harbored any racial prejudice?

"Emperor Chi instructed me that the Three-Yuan God Undying Divine Consciousness is a technique of the Crimsonbright era and must be returned to the people of the Crimsonbright era."

Qin Mu, with a beaming smile, declared loudly, "Emperor Chi also said that the current descendants of the Hanging World make him feel ashamed, having become mere bleating lambs, devoid of any fighting spirit. Therefore, Emperor Chi said he must put pressure on you. He told the Divine Son to impart Emperor Ming's technique to me so I can exert pressure on you. Only when the Divine Son can defeat and surpass me at the same cultivation level will Emperor Chi acknowledge you."

In his third eye, on the land of 'Qin', the gigantic infant, Heavenly Duke, and Emperor Chi listened attentively to the sounds from beyond. Emperor Chi grunted, saying in a muffled, throaty voice, "I didn't, I didn't say that... I clearly told you to definitely pass this technique on to my people. Oh, right, he did say to pass it on, but he didn't say anything about not extorting..."

The Crimsonbright Divine Son knew well that these words came from Qin Mu's mouth, and no one could prove whether they truly originated from Emperor Chi.

He weighed his options. He was determined to obtain Emperor Chi's technique. Using force was clearly out of the question now. The only way was to exchange it for Emperor Ming's technique.

Although this would empower Qin Mu, it would allow the people of the Hanging World to obtain a flawless technique that would enable their primordial spirit and physical body to advance simultaneously!

On the whole, the benefits outweighed the drawbacks.

"Good!" The Crimsonbright Divine Son smiled.

Over ten days later, the flying ships of the Crimsonbright Hanging World finally departed. A fleet of over a dozen colossal flying ships majestically set sail, leaving the Hanging World.

This time, half of the Hanging World's population migrated, with the other half remaining as a 'seed' population, as the Crimsonbright Divine Son put it: "You can't put all your eggs in one basket."

Qin Mu, Ling Yuxiu, and others lived on one of these flying ships. The ship resembled a miniature moving continent, complete with mountains, rivers, and fertile fields, capable of accommodating hundreds of thousands of people.

Over a dozen colossal flying ships carried several million people, which was already half of the Hanging World's population!

The Hanging World's population was not large, unlike Eternal Peace, which numbered in the hundreds of millions.

Qin Mu walked around the flying ship, examining its layout, measuring the height of the mountains, the flow rate of the rivers, calculating the light projection from the divine sun. He then took out paper and pen to sketch the layout of the ship's fertile fields and performed some calculations.

The ship's layout was extremely rational, ensuring the survival and proliferation of hundreds of thousands of people. It suggested that during the Crimsonbright era, there must have been highly skilled mathematicians and master blacksmiths.

"Could there have been a Dao Sect in that era too?" Qin Mu wondered, startled.

He surveyed and mapped various parts of the flying ship, completed his drawings, and then returned, only to see Ling Yuxiu attending to the Human Emperor First Ancestor. Two large eyeballs hovered nearby, serving tea, pouring water, and brewing medicinal concoctions.

The Human Emperor First Ancestor lay on a lounge chair, sunbathing and diligently cultivating the Imperfect Creation Profound Scripture that Qin Mu had given him, attempting to regenerate his broken bones. Catching sight of Qin Mu's return, he frowned and grunted.

Qin Mu quickly forced a smile, saying, "First Ancestor, I truly didn't hit you; it was my brother. I've explained it many times. I don't hold grudges, so I wouldn't deliberately slap you away."

The First Ancestor grunted again, turning his head away, refusing to look at him.

Qin Mu, helpless, examined his physical injuries. He found that the broken bones had been expelled from his body, and new bones were growing, albeit slowly.

He couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Grandpa Village Chief can finally grow back his limbs!"

The First Ancestor angrily retorted, "You shattered my bones just to experiment on me and cure your Grandpa Village Chief? Don't forget, your surname is Qin, and your Grandpa Village Chief's surname is Su. We are family; you're favoring outsiders..."

Qin Mu quickly said, "It really wasn't me who did it; it was my brother!"

The First Ancestor asked, "On the family tree, you're called Qin Fengqing, right?"

Qin Mu nodded.

The First Ancestor then asked, "And your brother? Is he also called Qin Fengqing?"

Qin Mu hesitated. The First Ancestor, seeing his expression, angrily declared, "Still saying it wasn't you? You're the one who did it!"

Qin Mu prepared the medicinal formula, saying weakly, "If you say so, then it is."

"Princess Xiu, did you hear that? He admitted it! He admitted it!"

The First Ancestor became agitated, complaining to Ling Yuxiu, "In Eternal Peace, I only have this one relative, and he hit me, even shattering my bones to experiment on them for his grandfather of a different surname..."

Qin Mu finished preparing the medicine, poured it down his throat, and then instructed the First Ancestor to continue cultivating the Imperfect Creation Profound Scripture. With both methods combined, he could recover faster.

The First Ancestor, invigorated after taking the medicine, continued to complain to Ling Yuxiu. Suddenly, someone exclaimed loudly, "We've arrived at Xuandu!"

"Xuandu?"

Qin Mu hastily looked up, seeing omnipresent light shining down, bathing every corner in Xuandu's radiance, leaving no shadows.

"Xuandu is the Heavenly Duke's domain. Heavenly Duke's clone said he would add another layer of seal to me this time, to prevent my brother from causing trouble. I wonder if Heavenly Duke's true form knows about this?"

The massive fleet of flying ships sailed into Xuandu's light, then suddenly separated, proceeding along different paths. The advantage of scattering was to evade pursuit from the Heavenly Court.

Although they didn't know the extent of Great Sun Star Lord's injuries, if he were to ambush and pursue them along the way, the people of the Hanging World would likely suffer heavy casualties.

Each flying ship veered off course, disappearing into the dazzling light. The flying ship Qin Mu and his companions were on, however, continued quietly. Over ten days later, they finally saw Heavenly Duke's eyes once more.

A few more days passed, and they could no longer see Heavenly Duke's eyes; only light so dense it seemed to have solidified into a tangible form was visible.

Qin Mu had been waiting for Heavenly Duke to apply a seal on him, yet the flying ship had traveled in Xuandu for nearly a month without any unusual occurrences. Finally, the ship exited Xuandu's domain and continued its journey through the dark starry sky, heading directly for Luofu Heaven.

"Strange, why didn't Heavenly Duke add a seal to me? And why hasn't he recalled his clone?"

Feeling quite puzzled, he approached the First Ancestor to check his physical injuries. He saw that after a month of recuperation and cultivation, all the shattered bones in the Human Emperor First Ancestor's body had been expelled, and new bones had grown. Currently, these new bones were somewhat fragile and couldn't support his body weight.

After all, he was a deity from the God-Slaying Platform, with an astonishingly heavy body. The bones of an ordinary Venerable God likely wouldn't be able to bear his physical form.

Qin Mu then had the two large-eyed monsters enter the First Ancestor's Celestial Palace, delivering medicine and observing his Celestial Palace and primordial spirit through the monsters. He said, "There are no major problems now. With a bit more diligent cultivation, the strength of your bones will be comparable to before. Moreover, since you've cultivated the Imperfect Creation Profound Scripture, your physical body will only become stronger than before!"

The First Ancestor struggled to sit up and suddenly asked, "Mu'er, what's wrong with your glabella?"

Qin Mu, puzzled, asked, "What about it?"

"The golden willow leaf on your glabella has changed."

Qin Mu quickly took out a mirror and looked at himself. He saw that the color of the golden willow leaf on his glabella had changed. This willow leaf was originally crafted by the Mute, with the residents of Cripple Village collectively applying a sealing mark. Later, before Great Brahma Heavenly King Buddha handed the willow leaf to him, he tampered with it, adding his own sealing restrictions, which were compatible with Earth Lord's jade pendant seal.

Now, however, the willow leaf was no longer golden but constantly shifted through various colors, appearing to be composed of light, truly wondrous.

Qin Mu was surprised. Just as he was about to take off the golden willow leaf to examine it, the First Ancestor anxiously said, "Don't take it off! How much more trouble do you want to cause? What if your brother gets out again? This ship can't handle your antics! Can't you control your curiosity?"

Qin Mu, suspicious, said, "First Ancestor, didn't you not believe I had a brother?"

The First Ancestor's face flushed slightly.

"Could it be that Heavenly Duke secretly planted a seal on me while we were in Xuandu? When did he plant it? How did I not notice anything at all?"

Qin Mu wanted to take it off for a closer look, but he was also worried that doing so might release his brother. He had no choice but to forcefully suppress his curiosity.

Several months later, the First Ancestor fully recovered, his cultivation and strength surpassing his previous state. They also arrived at Luofu Heaven. What puzzled Qin Mu was that throughout their journey, they hadn't encountered any pursuit or chase, not even a shadow of a Heavenly Court deity.

"The Heavenly Court must be waiting for an opportunity to catch them all in one fell swoop," the First Ancestor said. "To wipe out Eternal Peace and the remnants of Crimsonbright!"

Qin Mu felt a chill in his heart.

General Chixi steered the flying ship toward an unusual star and said, "Sacrificial Wine Qin, please return to Eternal Peace first. We will wait for the rest of our people to arrive and will reach Eternal Peace in a few months."

Qin Mu nodded. He, the First Ancestor, and Ling Yuxiu flew away from the unusual star and entered Luofu Heaven. Standing firmly on the ground, he looked up and saw the orbit of the unusual star gradually changing. It was clear that Chixi and the other deities were using their magic power or formations to eventually transport the unusual star to Eternal Peace.

If the transport succeeded, a true star would appear in Eternal Peace's sky!

"Our mission is complete. Let's go and see the Lumberjack Sage first."

They arrived at the altar where the Lumberjack Sage resided but did not find him. Qin Mu and the others had no choice but to return to Supreme Emperor Heaven. Upon reaching Li City, Qin Mu finally relaxed and chuckled, "After returning to Eternal Peace this time, we can report to the Emperor. The two Imperial Throne cultivation techniques of the Crimsonbright era—Emperor Ming's Imperfect Creation Profound Scripture and Emperor Chi's Three-Yuan God Undying Divine Consciousness—can both be widely disseminated. Eternal Peace's divine arts practitioners are bound to experience a significant surge! First Ancestor, Sister Xiu, let's go see Old Ma first. I also have the scriptures of Sakra Devanam Indra Buddha that I need to impart to Ma Rulai."

Inside Li City, the three of them—Qin Mu, First Ancestor, and Ling Yuxiu—entered Old Ma's temple. A welcoming monk led them into the courtyard, smiling, "Benefactors, Benefactor Apothecary and others are also here, discussing scriptures and principles with Rulai."

Qin Mu was both surprised and delighted: "Grandpa Village Chief and the others are here too?"

Just then, Apothecary emerged from the alchemy room, carrying a large pot, and called out loudly, "Fatty, come out and eat!"

Qin Mu chuckled, "Fatty? It must be Fatty Dragon! I haven't seen Fatty Dragon in a long time! I wonder if he's burned off all his fat?"

As he spoke, a gigantic ball of flesh rolled out from nearby. The creature's hooves barely touched the ground as it waddled forward inch by inch. Its dragon tail was thick but appeared short due to its immense size, wiggling left and right behind its enormous rear.

Its neck had disappeared, and its head was also like a ball of flesh, appearing to sprout directly from a scaled, stubbly sphere of fat. Dragon horns were faintly visible on its head.

The fleshy ball rejoiced, "Is it lunch? Master Apothecary, is there enough for lunch today? Your breakfast portion was a bit skimpy, short-changing me."

Apothecary, not in a good mood, retorted, "See for yourself!" With that, he turned and walked away.

The obese creature laboriously waddled to the side of the large pot, intending to count the number of spirit pills, but suddenly lost its footing and tumbled headfirst into the pot.

From within the pot, a muffled, gurgling voice was heard: "Never mind counting. I'm so hungry, I'll just eat first."

Then, crunching and munching sounds emanated from the pot.

Qin Mu froze, petrified. It took a long time for him to recover, muttering, "No, this is definitely not my Fatty Dragon, definitely not... Grandpa Apothecary, Grandpa Apothecary, have you seen my Dragon Qilin?"
