Chapter 1468: The Primordial Sage of Miluo Palace (Fourth Update)
This strike was magnificent and overwhelming. Since the re-refining of the Liuli Qingtian Canopy (Crystal Clear Sky Canopy), this once number one treasure in the world had been used in battle for the first time. When its power erupted, it truly shook heaven and earth!
Qin Mu’s muscles bulged and twitched wildly as his mana and primordial energy surged madly into the twenty-eight heavens, activating all the precious treasures!
The power of the Liuli Qingtian Canopy was not inferior to a Heavenly Venerable treasure, surpassing Lan Yutian’s arrows from earlier by an immeasurable margin!
Boom!
The Liuli Qingtian Canopy swept against that wall, blasting it open, and even that private tutor was knocked into the painting.
The painting lost its support and floated in the air. Suddenly, it expanded violently, and the fragment of the Great Luo Heaven flew out!
The Dao tree before Qin Mu instantly became immensely towering. This strike swept against the tree but failed to harm it in the slightest.
Under the ancient tree, the scholar looked up at him.
The scholar stood up and walked over, his figure very ethereal, not seeming real, as if he had no true physical body.
Qin Mu was startled and quickly retreated. The Qingtian Canopy (Sky Canopy) in his hand spun, and the twenty-eight heavens absorbed everyone into the heavens, attempting to flee this place.
The scholar reached the edge of the Great Luo Heaven fragment and could no longer step out. Just as Qin Mu breathed a sigh of relief, he saw the Dao fruit on the ancient tree split open, and a private tutor fell out from the Dao fruit, head down and feet up. By the time he emerged from the Dao fruit, he had already turned head up and feet down.
Another Dao fruit split open, and another private tutor walked out.
On the Dao tree, a Dao flower bloomed, and inside it was also a private tutor!
These three private tutors each stepped out of the Great Luo Heaven fragment and invaded the Liuli Qingtian Canopy.
Qin Mu retreated rapidly with the Liuli Qingtian Canopy, shouting in a deep voice, “Everyone, at this critical moment, will you not awaken?”
His voice rumbled like thunder, echoing back and forth through the twenty-eight heavens of the Qingtian Canopy. The souls of the many ancient gods, creators, Southern Emperor Vermilion Bird, Ming Emperor, and others who had been absorbed into the twenty-eight heavens awakened one by one, looking around in surprise.
The Cripple and Lan Yutian also woke up, only to see three private tutors charging into layer after layer of heavens, attacking them.
“Brother Mu!” Southern Emperor Vermilion Bird saw Qin Mu and exclaimed in surprise.
“Mu Qing!” Imperial Heaven also saw Qin Mu and cried out in shock.
Ming Emperor was left with only his primordial spirit, without flesh and blood. He shouted loudly, “This place is eerie beyond compare! Everyone, fight with me!”
He was indeed the emperor of the Chi Ming era, charging forward first to meet one of the private tutors. Despite having only his primordial spirit, his strength was extraordinary. Using his primordial spirit as a physical body, he fought with grand, sweeping moves, adopting a posture of close-quarters combat!
Southern Emperor Vermilion Bird let out a piercing cry, transforming into a Vermilion Bird to meet another private tutor, unleashing all her killing moves!
On the other side, the Cripple and Lan Yutian sprinted, while the other creators and ancient gods surrounded the third private tutor, engaging in a chaotic battle. The Cripple and Lan Yutian shot arrows from the shadows.
Qin Mu mobilized the power of the various precious treasures within the Qingtian Canopy. These treasures, re-refined by the Blind and the Mute, possessed immense power, continuously blasting toward the three private tutors.
The twenty-eight heavens descended into chaos. People were constantly struck by the teaching rods. After being hit, they became dazed and confused, no longer fighting but loudly reciting scriptures.
The teaching rods of the three private tutors seemed capable of breaking through all divine powers and Dao techniques. With a single strike, they could hit someone, leaving no room for evasion.
Once hit, their Dao hearts were broken, and they would obey the tutors’ commands.
In the blink of an eye, many ancient gods and creators were struck, leaving only Ming Emperor, Southern Emperor, and Lan Yutian still holding on. As for the Cripple, while sprinting, he was suddenly hit on the head by a teaching rod and also fell under its spell, reciting scriptures.
Suddenly, Ming Emperor let out a loud cry and was knocked to the ground by a teaching rod. Then Southern Emperor was knocked down. Lan Yutian executed his enlightenment techniques, but after finishing his moves and trying to repeat them, he was struck by a whip.
When he woke up, he saw Ming Emperor, the Cripple, and the others gathered together. The private tutor had appeared again at some unknown time, and they were all sitting in the private school reading books!
“Strange!”
Lan Yutian muttered to himself, glanced at the other version of himself, and saw that Imperial Heaven was also sitting there reading, and he immediately lost hope.
“The other me was suppressed here for a million years and couldn’t escape. It seems I can’t escape either…”
Qin Mu soared through the air, and with a thought, the divine bow flew over. Qin Mu turned, drew the bow, and shot. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, he sent the three private tutors flying.
The three immediately pursued him, attacking from three different directions. Qin Mu couldn’t flee in time, so he activated his Primordial Spirit Divine Treasury domain. No matter which direction the three private tutors attacked from, they always struck his front.
Three teaching rods flew up and down. Qin Mu tossed the divine bow aside, and his primordial spirit rose behind him, grabbing the bow and shooting. Meanwhile, he gripped the Liuli Qingtian Canopy with both hands and fought the three private tutors!
The three private tutors flew up and down, attacking continuously. Suddenly, Qin Mu’s defense faltered, and a teaching rod struck him on the forehead.
Qin Mu shook his head and smashed the private tutor away with a single blow. With a bang, the private tutor exploded.
Slap, slap, he was hit on the head by two more teaching rods. Qin Mu swung the Liuli Qingtian Canopy in a wide arc, sweeping the other two private tutors away. They shattered in midair!
Qin Mu breathed a sigh of relief and planted the Qingtian Canopy on the ground. But then he saw several more private tutors descending from the Great Luo Heaven fragment, and his heart tightened.
However, those three private tutors did not attack him again. One of them flicked his sleeve and said, “You have the leaves of a sage’s Dao tree. We cannot harm you. Fine, you may leave.”
Qin Mu touched the willow leaf on his brow and breathed a sigh of relief: “Fortunately, before this trip, I had Yan’er take Lan Yutian to shamelessly beg Tai Yi for a leaf. Otherwise, even I would have fallen here…”
The skills of these private tutors were bizarre. When Qin Mu activated his Primordial Spirit Divine Treasury domain, he was almost invincible. Unless someone overwhelmed him with immense power, they couldn’t break through his defense.
This domain was even more perfect than Ming Emperor’s three heads and six arms, yet it was easily broken by these private tutors. Fortunately, the teaching rods had little killing power; otherwise, Qin Mu’s head would have been shattered long ago.
The private tutor he had shattered had now recovered, and the sound of loud reading came from within.
Qin Mu exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, propped himself up with the Liuli Qingtian Canopy, and walked toward the private school again, saying in a deep voice, “Dao brother, you are an existence who has attained the Dao. Why do you trouble us worldly people? Are all beings from the previous cosmic era bullies who prey on the weak?”
“You can see that I have attained the Dao, so you are not as foolish as these others.”
One of the private tutors turned his head and said, “I am the Primordial Sage of Miluo Palace. I need their chanting to help me escape. I won’t hide it from you. I am not from the previous cosmic era. I have lived through three cosmic eras and attained the Dao twice, thus cultivating two Dao fruits.”
Another private tutor said, “In my third life, I had not yet attained the Dao, only cultivating a Dao tree and Dao flowers. The universe was destroyed, and the great calamity erupted. I knew I couldn’t save myself, and the World Tree was cut down, severing the path to the future universe. So I was forced to beg the master of Miluo Palace for refuge, hiding in the palace to survive the calamity with his help.”
The third private tutor said, “The universe has four stages: formation, existence, decay, and emptiness. Your universe is still in the formation stage, having not yet experienced the decay and emptiness stages. You don’t know the terror of the great destruction. If you can help me escape, I will teach you the method of attaining the Dao. When this universe decays and empties in the future, you can also survive the calamity.”
Qin Mu planted the Qingtian Canopy and said with a faint smile, “How about this: you teach me the method of attaining the Dao, and then hand them over to me. I won’t kill you and will leave immediately. What do you think?”
