Chapter 663: Qin Mu Passing on His Skills

"Mu'er is back?" The Apothecary turned, saw Qin Mu, and smiled. "I've fed your Dragon Qilin very well; he's grown much stronger."

Qin Mu felt a bit numb: "Stronger..."

The plump creature pulled its head out of the pot. Seeing Qin Mu, it was both surprised and delighted. It quickly waddled on its short legs towards him. After two steps, its limbs suddenly couldn't support it, and its head hit the ground with a thump. It bounced a few times, then rolled towards Qin Mu, exclaiming, "Cult Master, I'm fine! No need to help me, I can get up by rolling a couple of times."

Qin Mu quickly dodged, exasperated, "Grandpa Apothecary, this isn't 'strong' at all! Where's Ling'er? Ling'er! How could you let Fatty Dragon eat so much and get so fat?"

The Apothecary replied, "Ling'er went to seek out the Fox Immortal for cultivation; she's not here. Doesn't Fatty Dragon need three meals a day, with a dou of spirit pills per meal?"

Qin Mu was dumbfounded.

The Dragon Qilin stopped rolling, its limbs pointing skyward. Its paws flailed a couple of times, but it couldn't turn itself over. Its small tail twitched, trying to push against the ground to flip itself, but even stretching it straight, it couldn't touch the surface.

Panting, the Dragon Qilin cried, "Cult Master, give me a hand! Cult Master, Cult Master! Don't leave... Who will flip me over?"

The Founding Human Emperor, feeling a pang of pity, stepped forward and gave it a push. The Dragon Qilin flipped over, struggling to shift its body. Finally able to see the Founding Human Emperor, it quickly thanked him, "Thank you, senior, for your help. I haven't finished my lunch yet!" With that, it diligently waddled back towards the large pot.

The Founding Human Emperor couldn't help but say, "You're still eating? Your master is already angry; he's going to butcher you for the table soon!"

The Dragon Qilin was startled and immediately stopped eating. After a moment's thought, it resumed, grumbling, "It's better to die full, anyway..."

"You're hopeless!" The Founding Emperor shook his head and followed Qin Mu.

In the monastery, the Village Chief was talking to Ma Rulai. Hearing Qin Mu's voice, he quickly floated up and saw Qin Mu approaching. The other villagers also heard the news of Qin Mu's return and came out of their meditation rooms, naturally creating a lively scene upon seeing him.

Upon seeing the Village Chief alive, Qin Mu couldn't help but wipe away tears. The Village Chief smiled, "Don't act like a child. You are the Human Emperor, the Cult Master of the Heavenly Saint Cult, and the High Sacrificial Wine of the Heavenly Saint Academy. How can you be so easily emotional? Am I not alive?"

Despite his words, his eyes were red. Just then, he suddenly saw the Founding Human Emperor approaching and immediately thudded his staff to the ground, prostrating himself stiffly. "Your junior, Su Muzhe, greets the Founding Human Emperor!"

The Founding Human Emperor helped him up and placed him on a lounge chair, saying, "Get up. You weren't so formal the last time you saw me."

The Village Chief was immensely excited. He said to the Founding Emperor, "This is my disciple! The current Human Emperor Qin! A natural Overlord Body! Mu'er, Mu'er, quickly come and kowtow to the Founding Emperor; kneel down and knock your head a few times for him!"

Qin Mu shook his head, "Why should I kneel to him? He can't even beat me. I made him cry in the Human Emperor Hall."

The Village Chief angrily retorted, "Insolence! You're defying your elders and shaming your ancestors! The Founding Emperor possesses vast divine powers and skills, all passed down from the Founding Emperor Era. If he could teach you even a single move, you would benefit for life..."

Qin Mu reminded him, "Village Chief, his cultivation technique and seal art have already been passed to me."

"They have?"

The Village Chief immediately lost interest in the Founding Human Emperor and said, "Founding Emperor, please have a seat. Please forgive your junior's physical disability; I won't get up to entertain you."

The Founding Human Emperor was stunned and found a seat.

Qin Mu excitedly said, "Village Chief, I found a body creation cultivation technique, an Emperor's Throne divine art from the High Emperor Era! It can regrow severed limbs! The Founding Emperor was crippled, but I passed the technique to him and saved him!"

The Village Chief was both surprised and delighted, his voice trembling, "Broken legs and arms can also grow back?"

"Yes!"

The Apothecary tentatively asked, "Can a face grow back then?"

Qin Mu hesitated, looking troubled. "I haven't tried that yet. The Founding Emperor only had his jaw shattered and regrew a jaw, but whether a whole face can grow back, I don't know."

The Apothecary smiled, "I originally cut off my face to sever emotional ties, but I never expected to leave the Great Ruins later and rediscover my former feelings. I do miss my old face. My enemies also no longer dare to hunt me down. If I could get my face back, that would naturally be good, but if not, it doesn't matter; I'm used to it. Can the Deaf's ears and the Mute's tongue grow back?"

The Deaf man snorted coldly and turned to leave. "I won't practice! I don't want ears!"

The Apothecary chuckled, "That old fellow... don't mind him. Let him cultivate once he's thought it over himself."

Qin Mu then thoroughly explained Emperor Ming's Imperishable Creation Scripture. Ma Rulai quickly said, "I'll dismiss the monks to prevent the technique from spreading."

Qin Mu shook his head. "No need. I intended to spread this Emperor's Throne technique throughout the world via Emperor Yanfeng. The Crimson Light God Child will surely pass the technique to his people. If I hoard it, Yankang won't be a match for the remaining Crimson Light tribe at all, and it will only invite disaster."

Ma Rulai considered this, then nodded. "The Emperor's Throne technique is extremely difficult to comprehend thoroughly. Even if you pass it to everyone, only divine arts practitioners will be able to cultivate it, and those who achieve anything significant will likely be few."

What he said was true: the more profound a cultivation technique, the higher the demands on talent, comprehension, and wisdom, making it proportionally harder to cultivate.

For instance, Demonic Ape Zhankong and Monk Mingxin went to study the Great Brahma King Buddha's True Scripture, but the Great Brahma King Buddha did not impart it to Qin Mu. Instead, he transformed into a giant Buddha statue suppressing the Qin-character continent from above, stating that the technique was within and for Qin Mu to comprehend it himself.

Qin Mu still hadn't comprehended anything from it.

Demonic Ape and Mingxin were individuals with top-tier Buddhist nature and great wisdom within Buddhism. The two of them could learn the Great Brahma King Buddha's technique, whereas other monks rarely could, at most grasping only superficial aspects.

Furthermore, Daoist cultivation techniques and divine arts are built upon the foundation of numerology, requiring extremely high proficiency in it.

As for the Imperishable Creation Scripture, it involves an extremely wide range of knowledge, including requirements for numerological attainment, knowledge of rune inscriptions, insights into creation, and understanding of the body's mechanics—touching upon numerous aspects.

The Founding Human Emperor and Qin Mu were able to master the technique precisely because they had conducted research in all these areas.

If it were anyone else, merely researching these things would take decades or even centuries to achieve certain breakthroughs, and at that point, they would only just be starting to learn the technique.

And this was merely the requirement for wisdom!

Adding to that, the Emperor's Throne technique also has extremely strict requirements for talent and comprehension. Therefore, even if Qin Mu spread the Emperor's Throne technique throughout the world, few divine arts practitioners would be able to cultivate the Imperishable Creation Scripture successfully, and even fewer would achieve great accomplishments.

Qin Mu thoroughly taught the Imperishable Creation Scripture to everyone. This technique was all-encompassing, and he tried to explain it in a simple yet profound way so that everyone could understand. However, each member of Crippled Elder Village had their own strengths, and in the end, it was Granny Si who was the first to grasp the cultivation secrets of the Imperishable Creation Art.

Granny Si had cultivated the Great Demonic Heaven Scripture, specifically focusing on the seven creation chapters within it, which gave her extraordinary proficiency in this area.

Qin Mu patiently explained it again and again, answering everyone's questions.

The Imperishable Creation Scripture involved too much knowledge, making it difficult for even Qin Mu to answer some questions. Fortunately, Emperor Chi had also passed on his cultivation of the Three Primordial Spirits and Imperishable Divine Consciousness to him. This technique, concerning primordial spirit creation, could be cross-referenced with the Imperishable Creation Scripture.

Moreover, the Founding Human Emperor was also present. He had cultivated this technique and had many of his own insights, so he would offer answers where Qin Mu couldn't.

Before long, the Deaf man grudgingly returned and sat down to listen.

Qin Mu lectured for days and nights, his throat parched. The second person to comprehend the Creation Art was, surprisingly, the Deaf man. As for the Village Chief, Apothecary, Ma Ye, Cripple, Mute, Blind, and others, none had managed to grasp it.

Qin Mu, with a headache, suddenly had an idea and smiled, "I also have another Emperor's Throne technique here, the Three Primordial Spirits and Imperishable Divine Consciousness, which was a technique of the emperors of the Crimson Light Era. I will pass this technique to you all so you can cross-reference them."

The Village Chief frowned. "This one Emperor's Throne technique is already difficult to fully comprehend. With another one, we'll probably spend a lifetime trying to understand them. Mu'er, biting off more than you can chew won't work."

Qin Mu chuckled, "It's precisely about wanting more. The Imperishable Creation Scripture cultivates the physical body, while this technique cultivates the primordial spirit. The two techniques complement each other perfectly, and their underlying principles have many points of convergence. If you learn both techniques together, it might even be easier to grasp them!"

He then explained the Three Primordial Spirits and Imperishable Divine Consciousness. As the others listened, their expressions grew increasingly astonished.

When Qin Mu had explained the Creation Scripture earlier, there were still many obscure and difficult parts, which clearly indicated that Qin Mu himself hadn't fully grasped it. However, when explaining the Three Primordial Spirits and Imperishable Divine Consciousness, he seemed to transform into the originator of the technique, his comprehension going far beyond mere thoroughness.

He was practically Emperor Chi reborn, personally imparting the teaching to them!

In fact, though it was Qin Mu explaining the technique to them, he was relaying Emperor Chi's insights because Emperor Chi had completely transferred his thoughts and consciousness regarding the Three Primordial Spirits and Imperishable Divine Consciousness to him!

Emperor Chi's personal teaching was, naturally, extraordinary!

Indeed, as Qin Mu had said, the two techniques were complementary and interconnected. Many areas that the Village Chief and the others previously couldn't grasp now became clear instantly upon Qin Mu's explanation, causing everyone to nod repeatedly.

"To think we've taught Mu'er for so many years, and now we've ended up as his students," the Apothecary remarked with emotion, smiling.

As Qin Mu continued to lecture, his own comprehension of the Imperishable Creation Scripture grew deeper. Various methods became clear without explicit realization, and diverse divine arts perfected themselves without further practice.

His mind became like a clear mirror, grasping all the subtleties of the Creation Scripture.

When the explanation of the Three Primordial Spirits and Imperishable Divine Consciousness was complete, his body suddenly trembled violently. He cried out, "I know why Emperor Ming was defeated and why the Crimson Light Era perished! The Creation Scripture, without Imperishable Divine Consciousness, has an enormous flaw!"

The Village Chief, with his exceptionally high talent and comprehension, immediately understood. He said solemnly, "Emperor Ming's primordial spirit couldn't refine the other two heads or the other four arms of his three heads and six arms. The one who killed him must have severed his two heads and cut off his four arms! This Emperor Ming must have died a terrible death!"
