Chapter 771: Yuan Magnetic Earth Mother

The High Heavens Academy is now running smoothly. Qi Jiuyi has been invited by Xu Shenghua from the High Heavens to teach. With the addition of Zhen Tian Palace Master Xiong Xiyu; Hu Bugui, who achieved enlightenment through martial arts; Zhen Tian Palace's little princess Xiong Qier; Formation Master He Yiyi; Poison Master Mu Yingxue; Sword Master Luo Yinyu; the mother and daughter Liu Ruyin and Liu Zhenqing from the Liu family; and Ge Ke, the son of the young Ancestral Master—the High Heavens Academy in the Western Land is truly a hub of talent.

Ling Yuxiu, as the Jiedushi sent by the imperial court, also holds an honorary position at the High Heavens Academy.

Most importantly, Martial Arts Heavenly Master Zha Cha also taught here for a period. However, he wasn't teaching the female disciples of the Western Land, but imparting martial arts to Qi Jiuyi, Xiong Xiyu, Luo Yinyu, and others. Even Xu Shenghua, the Grand Libationer, attended his lectures for a while.

"Dragon Qilin has been ridden away by the Martial Arts Heavenly Master."

Xu Shenghua said, "The Martial Arts Heavenly Master was waiting for you to return his ox. He waited for several months, but you didn't return it to him, so he got very angry. He said the entire woodcutter family were fraudsters, and then rode away Dragon Fatty."

Qin Mu wandered around the High Heavens Academy, enjoying the sights, while Imperial Heavenly Venerable was dragged off to attend a lecture. Hearing this, Qin Mu blurted out, "How can Dragon Fatty carry him? But it's fine, Dragon Fatty carrying the Martial Arts Heavenly Master can at least give him some exercise."

Xu Shenghua accompanied Qin Mu and asked, "Compared to Lan Yutian, I think both of us are fake Hegemonic Physiques; he is the real one. Where did you pick up this child?"

"A million years ago."

Qin Mu sighed and said, "He's not a child; he's already a million years old."

Xu Shenghua nodded, "I see."

"Brother Xu, aren't you surprised?" Qin Mu studied his expression, puzzled.

Xu Shenghua said seriously, "I am already surprised."

Qin Mu continued to study his expression, still unable to detect any look of shock. He shook his head and said, "I don't know what Jing Yan saw in you. You might not have heard the name Lan Yutian, so perhaps you don't know his achievements. But if I told you he was the founder and establisher of the Divine Treasure cultivation system and the Heavenly Palace cultivation system, surely you would show some shock?"

Xu Shenghua's body trembled, but his expression remained unchanged. "The founder and establisher of the Divine Treasure cultivation system and the Heavenly Palace cultivation system?" he questioned. "Then why does he know nothing and need to learn everything from scratch?"

Qin Mu briefly recounted his and Niu Sanduo's journey back to the early years of the Dragon Han era. He spoke of encountering Emperor Kai, the Seven Heavenly Venerables, and the Heavenly Court Grand Assembly and the Jade Pool Grand Assembly. He also mentioned being conferred the titles of Heavenly Venerable Mu and Heavenly Venerable Qin along with Emperor Kai.

Xu Shenghua still maintained the same expression, which greatly dismayed Qin Mu.

"Actually, ever since I encountered the Seven Heavenly Venerables, I've been pondering a question."

Qin Mu smiled, "Do you know what question that is?"

Xu Shenghua pondered for a moment, and his eyes lit up. "Cult Master Qin, this is a tremendous undertaking!" he exclaimed. "You want to re-establish the Divine Bridge Divine Treasure, repair the broken Divine Bridges of the people of Yankang, and give hope to those martial artists in the Dou Niu World, allowing them all to cultivate to the Divine Realm!"

Qin Mu sighed, "You truly understand me, Brother Xu. Indeed, after seeing the Seven Heavenly Venerables, I began thinking about this problem. The people of Yankang are all survivors of Emperor Kai's era; their Divine Bridges were severed. As for the people of the Dou Niu World, they never even had Divine Bridges. Neither Martial Arts Heavenly Master's methods nor the Magpie Bridge Art or Profound Attraction Art are true solutions. Only by re-establishing the Divine Bridge Divine Treasure is the ultimate solution."

Xu Shenghua said, "Heavenly Venerable Yun established the Divine Bridge Divine Treasure, so you also want to find a way to establish the Divine Bridge Divine Treasure, spread it, and completely resolve this issue."

Qin Mu nodded, "Everyone's Divine Treasure is inherited from their ancestors. Since the Divine Bridge is broken and the Divine Treasure is gone, we just need to re-establish it. Although not everyone can open it, the number of divine arts practitioners who can open it will certainly be far greater than those who master the Magpie Bridge Art!"

Xu Shenghua said, "So, have you asked Heavenly Venerable Yun how to establish the Divine Bridge Divine Treasure?"

Qin Mu shook his head, "I couldn't speak with him when I went back to the early Dragon Han era. He later died in battle during the Dragon Han era. However, if he could establish the Divine Bridge Divine Treasure, so can we."

Xu Shenghua hesitated for a moment and said, "If you can establish the Divine Bridge Divine Treasure, then you would be another Heavenly Venerable Yun! But your Divine Bridge Divine Treasure is already complete, how would you establish it?"

Qin Mu smiled, "I am currently at the Celestial Being realm, not far from the Life and Death realm. I plan to reach the Life and Death realm, then cripple my own Divine Bridge Divine Treasure, and then try to establish my own Divine Bridge Divine Treasure. However, you said one thing wrong. I am not another Heavenly Venerable Yun; a million years ago, I was already Heavenly Venerable Mu!"

Xu Shenghua mused, "Your Divine Bridge Divine Treasure is complete, but mine is broken. Perhaps I should be the one to become another Heavenly Venerable Yun."

Qin Mu raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Then we can have a competition. Let's see who among us can first open the Life and Death Divine Treasure, cripple their Divine Bridge Divine Treasure, and then re-establish the Divine Bridge!"

Xu Shenghua smiled gently, "Alright. When that time comes, I want you to personally admit that you are female."

Qin Mu burst out laughing and said, "Aren't you still going to research the Primordial Magnetic divine arts and the Grand Minor Calculation Scripture? Will you have time to research the Divine Bridge Divine Treasure? You're destined to lose!"

Xu Shenghua said calmly, "You seem even busier than I am; do you have time?"

The two stared at each other, and each let out a snort.

Xu Shenghua said, "Granny Si is currently in the Grand Emperor Heaven with the scholars from Heavenly Saint Academy, researching Primordial Magnetic divine arts. They've already achieved significant results. I often go there to help her establish the fundamental runes for the Primordial Magnetic divine arts. Currently, Granny Si has compiled over 1,300 types of Primordial Magnetic runes, but I've deduced that there are still over 600 types of Primordial Magnetic runes yet to be discovered. Once Lan Yutian masters the unique techniques of my High Heavens Academy, perhaps we should make a trip to the Grand Emperor Heaven."

After more than half a month, Imperial Heavenly Venerable mastered the fundamental runes of the High Heavens Academy. Xu Shenghua packed his belongings and set off with Qin Mu for the Grand Emperor Heaven.

Qin Mu had always been a hands-off manager. After deriving a few primordial magnetic deduction equations, he simply handed them over to Granny Si and Xu Shenghua, while he himself went off exploring.

Upon arriving at the Grand Emperor Heaven this time, he saw numerous strange structures: pillars made of profound copper. These hollow pillars varied in length and thickness; the longest ones were several hundred zhang tall, comparable to mountains, while the shortest were only about a foot.

Hundreds of these pillars stood erect within primordial magnetic anomaly points. The border between the Grand Emperor Heaven and the Great Ruins had the most primordial magnetic anomaly points, with twenty to thirty similar arrangements, making for quite a spectacular sight.

In each primordial magnetic anomaly point, divine arts practitioners held paper and brushes, recording data from the primordial magnetic reactions around the copper pillars. This data was then sent to the nearby divine cities of the Grand Emperor Heaven for compilation.

True God Pang Yu, Venerable God Sang Ye, and others rebuilt the Grand Emperor Heaven, and built several divine cities where people multiplied and thrived. For this deduction of primordial magnetic runes, Granny Si also borrowed many divine arts practitioners from the Grand Emperor Heaven.

The Grand Emperor Heaven's mathematical and calculation skills were originally very poor. However, after the two realms were connected, divine arts practitioners from the Grand Emperor Heaven entered Yankang to learn mathematics and calculation. Now, there are many who are proficient in these arts.

When Qin Mu arrived in the city, he saw Granny Si buried amidst mountains of papers. A hundred or so scholars were sorting through the data sent from the various anomaly points, and various calculation spiritual weapons were whirring and clattering continuously.

On the walls, over a thousand wondrous runes were imprinted. They flickered on and off, faintly exuding primordial magnetic power.

"Only one more rune to go."

Xu Shenghua examined the imprints on the wall and said in surprise, "Granny Si's speed is quite impressive!"

Just as he finished speaking, Granny Si's laughter suddenly rang out, "It's done! I've calculated it!"

The beautiful woman leaped up and came before the wall. Her vital qi surged, forming the last rune, which she then imprinted onto the wall.

Qin Mu stepped forward, observing the primordial magnetic runes on the wall. He was deeply moved and praised, "Granny, compiling these over 1,900 runes is an immeasurable achievement!"

Granny Si only then noticed them, and said with surprise and joy, "When did you arrive, Mu'er? You haven't come to see me in a long time! You deserve forty percent of the credit for these runes. The remaining sixty percent is equally divided between Xu Shenghua and me. Xu Shenghua compiled over a thousand types of primordial magnetic deduction equations. I only compiled a minority of them."

Xu Shenghua gave a modest reply, then looked at Qin Mu.

Qin Mu smiled, "I derived the initial few equations. Brother Xu followed my path and did very well."

Xu Shenghua grunted.

Although Qin Mu's words seemed boastful, they were the plain truth.

Qin Mu discovered the mysteries of primordial magnetic force, and innovatively listed several of the most fundamental primordial magnetic equations. He then handed over the task of deriving primordial magnetic runes to them.

Qin Mu was the trailblazer, and they were the perfecters, so Qin Mu accounted for nearly half of the credit.

"Granny, now that the primordial magnetic divine arts have been compiled, can we comprehend the primordial magnetic divine arts?" Qin Mu asked.

"We can try!"

Granny Si, full of excitement, led them outside the city and said, "These past few days, as I've been deducing the primordial magnetic runes, I've been contemplating various divine arts and have compiled quite a few primordial magnetic divine arts. Just now, after the last rune was deduced, I naturally comprehended a great divine art that can perfectly integrate all over 1,900 runes."

Qin Mu knew she was already a being who had integrated divine arts into her path long ago. With all the fundamental primordial magnetic runes compiled this time, the great divine art she comprehended was certainly extraordinary. He couldn't help but feel immensely excited.

Qin Mu, Xu Shenghua, and Imperial Heavenly Venerable followed behind Granny Si. Other divine arts practitioners from the Grand Emperor Heaven and scholars from Heavenly Saint Academy also flew over.

True God Pang Yu, Venerable God Sang Ye, and others also rushed over upon hearing the news. The sky was filled with divine arts practitioners and deities, all waiting for Granny Si to demonstrate.

Granny Si stood in the Grand Emperor Heaven, with the Great Ruins directly below them, vertically aligned.

"This divine art of mine doesn't have a name yet, but I'll perform it first to give you a glimpse!"

She activated her divine art, and her vital qi surged. Granny Si was already a deity with profound magic power and exquisite divine arts. As she unleashed the great primordial magnetic divine art she had comprehended, everyone in the sky immediately fell like rain, each plummeting to the ground, unable to move.

Qin Mu was also pinned to the ground, feeling as if an entire universe was pressing down on him, his heart filled with terror.

True God Pang Yu struggled to get up, his legs trembling, almost unable to stand. Filled with fear, he quickly said, "Venerable God You You, please take it easy! Be careful, you might crush us to death!"

Granny Si turned her head and only then noticed them pinned to the ground. She smiled and said, "My divine art was aimed at the Great Ruins, not at you. Once this divine art is unleashed, there won't be any primordial magnetic divine power pressing down on you."

She slapped her palm forward, and primordial magnetic divine light erupted. Within the divine art, countless stars could vaguely be seen coiling into a river, with primordial magnetic divine light connecting and intertwining between them. With a thunderous boom, it pressed down onto the Great Ruins!

The Great Ruins below suddenly sank by a hundred zhang. In the distance, mountains rose from the ground, a continuous range of peaks emerging from beneath the earth!

Granny Si praised, "What a truly magnificent divine art. You don't feel the pressure now, do you?"

Qin Mu and the others felt the pressure lighten and hurriedly scrambled to their feet. Venerable God Sang Ye smiled and said, "Venerable God You You, your magic power is exquisite, and your divine art is truly formidable. But surely you can retract your divine art now?"

The Great Ruins was shaking violently, and mountains were still rising from the ground, expanding outwards.

Granny Si said, puzzled, "I've already retracted my divine art... Huh, something's not right!"

Qin Mu and the others looked down at the Great Ruins below. They saw mountains rapidly moving away from them, and the earth was also continuously expanding. The closest mountains were now thousands of miles away, beyond the reach of the naked eye!

At the same time, Qin Mu saw the Surging River widening, growing wider and wider, and its current becoming increasingly swift!

Previously, this great river was a hundred zhang wide, but now it expanded by a hundred zhang with almost every blink of an eye!

"What's happening?"

Everyone was bewildered, staring blankly at the scene.

The Great Ruins was not only expanding east and west, but also stretching north and south. Furthermore, the mountains were growing wildly, becoming larger and taller!

"This isn't something Granny's divine art could cause..."

Qin Mu's heart skipped a beat. He quickly flew up, passed through the Grand Emperor Heaven tunnel, and arrived at the Great Ruins on the other side, only to see that the Western Great Ruins was also rapidly expanding.

At the Great Ruins' Cliff, an even more terrifying scene unfolded: entire universes flew out from the cliff, growing larger and larger as they floated towards the sky.

Soon, layers of universes concealed themselves amidst the ethereal clouds in the sky.

Granny Si and the others followed him, staring blankly at the scene.

The cliff emitted earth-shattering roars. The cliff face continuously fractured. The river within the cliff grew increasingly turbulent. Immense floods poured out, and from the water, entire universes leaped forth, as if all the universes suppressed here from the previous four eras had been released.

"Did I cause this?" Granny Si blinked her eyes and murmured.

"Yes."

Qin Mu looked at the cliff, which was rumbling and rising, revealing a massive stone tablet. The text on the tablet gradually became clear. He looked at the words on the tablet and said in a hoarse voice, "It was Granny who caused this. By compiling all the primordial magnetic runes, you used primordial magnetic divine arts to awaken the terrifying entity buried here..."

On the cliff's stone tablet were several ancient divine characters. Qin Mu had seen some of these divine characters before; they were the script of the Dragon Han Heavenly Court, composed of divine languages and imbued with wondrous power.

However, the text on the stone tablet seemed even more ancient, with many variations that Qin Mu did not recognize.

"...Mother, and Yuan," he deciphered. "I don't recognize the characters before and after these."

Qin Mu deciphered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "This script is too ancient."

"Primordial World of the Earth Mother," Imperial Heavenly Venerable beside him suddenly said.
