Chapter 712: The Best Under Heaven
Di Yiyue sneered coldly, "Look at his appearance—he bears some resemblance to the Kai Emperor. He must be a descendant of the Kai Emperor, right? And you still say he's not your disciple? Great Heavenly Master, you can't fool me!"
The Woodcutter Sage's face flushed red. "He is indeed my second disciple, but he's only a nominal one. I have never taught him anything."
Suddenly, the power of the Five Thunder Pot erupted violently, blasting Qin Mu away. However, the runes around Qin Mu swirled, and in an instant, he teleported back, still clinging to the Disaster God's back, gnawing on the god's head with swift and fierce bites.
"Teleportation technique—that's a technique you invented." Di Yiyue grew even more suspicious, sneering coldly.
The Woodcutter Sage was so ashamed he couldn't speak.
Suddenly, the towering Disaster God above the Yong River noticed them. The god, who had been oblivious to all else, was startled. Forgetting to shake Qin Mu off, he quickly bowed and lowered his head. "Senior Sister!"
Di Yiyue nodded. "You are a disciple of the Northern Emperor? You recognize me as your senior sister?"
The Disaster God, his head and face covered in blood from Qin Mu's bites, stood there at a loss. "I once saw Senior Sister once, but you hold a high and mighty position, so you probably didn't notice me. I was ordered to come and deliver a calamity. I beg your forgiveness, Senior Sister."
Di Yiyue said calmly, "Leave something behind and go back. Since I'm here, you won't be able to deliver the calamity. Leave something so you can report back. Tell our master that I am here. Either send you all to die, or he can come and deliver the calamity himself."
The Disaster God's face changed drastically. Gritting his teeth, he cut off his own left arm, descended from the sky, and respectfully placed the arm on the ground before Di Yiyue. He then retreated two or three steps, his primordial spirit leaving his body, and his physical form turned into a stone statue.
Qin Mu gnawed on the stone statue's head a few times, nearly breaking his teeth. He had to give up, slid down from the statue, and looked around. His eyes blazed with murderous intent, like a wild beast ready to devour anyone.
The stone statue slowly sank into the ground and disappeared. The Five Thunder Pot spun wildly, swallowing the thunderclouds in the sky before vanishing as well.
"This beautiful woman looks the most delicious!"
Qin Mu charged excitedly toward Di Yiyue. The Woodcutter Sage's old face burned with shame, wishing he could immediately dig a hole and bury himself underground.
Di Yiyue formed a hand seal with her right hand, her fingers flickering like lotus petals. She lightly tapped Qin Mu's forehead, and the demonic nature within him immediately receded. The demonic qi of the Netherworld surged back into the Qin Continent in his brow.
Di Yiyue's seal, carrying the demonic qi and nature of the Netherworld, rushed into the body of the large-headed infant, Qin Fengqing. The seal of the Netherworld Jade Mirror was broken from the outside.
The Heavenly Duke and the Red Emperor were astonished and said in unison, "This girl's skills are not bad! Too bad she's dead."
Di Yiyue let out a soft exclamation, startled and uncertain. The magical power contained in her seal suddenly vanished, as if something had devoured it.
She couldn't see the scene inside the Qin Continent, nor could she see the Heavenly Duke and the Red Emperor.
"There's something strange in your brow. Let me enter your third eye and take a look!"
Just as she was about to fly into Qin Mu's brow, the Woodcutter, the First Ancestor of the Human Sovereign, Fu Riluo, and Chi Xi quickly blocked her, shouting, "Absolutely not! Don't explore his brow! All of us have suffered greatly from it!"
The Woodcutter said, "I haven't suffered, but I know it's extremely dangerous in there. Heavenly King, it's best not to try!"
Di Yiyue's eyes flickered, and she laughed. "Is it really that dangerous? Even with my Emperor Seat level of strength? Fine, since my physical body is already dead, I won't look."
Qin Mu came to his senses and quickly took out a willow leaf to stick on his brow, letting out a sigh of relief.
"Teacher, First Ancestor, you've both come back to life?"
He was both surprised and delighted. Then he looked at Di Yiyue, quickly straightened his clothes, took out a mirror to check his appearance, and then bowed. "Teacher, who is this fairy sister?"
"Fairy sister?"
Di Yiyue was overjoyed, and her earlier bad impression of Qin Mu vanished. She laughed. "Heavenly Master, your second disciple has good taste. He's much better than the Kai Emperor, and much better than you too. He's a talent! You didn't make a mistake taking him as a disciple."
The Woodcutter Sage relaxed and whispered to Qin Mu, "Wipe your mouth. There's still blood on your lips."
"Blood on my lips?"
Qin Mu was startled and quickly took out the small mirror again, carefully wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. He even pulled a strand of hair from between his teeth. The young man looked confused. "I spit blood? How did a strand of hair come out?"
Di Yiyue said, "That's the blood and hair of my junior brother, that Disaster God. You were just gnawing on his head."
Qin Mu's face turned red with shame.
Di Yiyue laughed. "What a pure and innocent young man. There are very few youths left who still know shame. With such shyness, you must be very popular with the girls."
The Woodcutter, Fu Riluo, Chi Xi, and the First Ancestor all had strange expressions on their faces. They coughed a few times but said nothing.
Di Yiyue didn't mind and laughed. "Little brother... Ah, I can't call you little brother yet. You're the Great Heavenly Master's disciple and a descendant of the Kai Emperor. If I call you little brother, wouldn't that make me of a lower generation than them?"
Qin Mu said, "Sister, why don't we just keep our own relationship separate?"
Di Yiyue was overjoyed and praised, "That's a great idea. From now on, it's settled. We are brother and sister, but we each maintain our own relationships with others."
Qin Mu examined Di Yiyue's forehead and saw that there was a hole in it, going straight through, and he could even see brain tissue.
Moreover, Di Yiyue's heartbeat had stopped, and her blood was no longer flowing. She was clearly a corpse!
However, her primordial spirit was so strong that it could still control her body, making her look as if she were still alive.
"Sister, your injuries are very serious."
Qin Mu said, "How did you get such severe injuries?"
Di Yiyue said gloomily, "I met the wrong person. I married a heartless man and was wounded by him. This isn't an injury. How can a dead person be considered injured?"
Qin Mu carefully examined her wound. Even though he was very close, he couldn't hear Di Yiyue's breathing. There was still residual divine power in her wound, and its power was extremely strong, making him afraid to touch it.
"It's an injury. There's still hope for recovery. Although it's severe, it's not critical."
Qin Mu examined it, then circled around to the back of Di Yiyue's head, peered through the hole, observed for a moment, and said, "But I can't deal with the residual divine power in the wound. Sister, can you handle it?"
Di Yiyue was surprised. She activated her profound art and erased the residual divine power left by the Yin Emperor in the wound. She asked curiously, "I am at the Emperor Seat level, and you are at the Heavenly Human level. What methods do you have to treat an Emperor Seat's injury?"
Qin Mu shook his body, revealing three heads and six arms. He raised his hand, and a sword light cut off his left head.
Di Yiyue was startled. Qin Mu picked up his own left head and laughed. "Sister, take a look."
His neck shook, and another head grew out!
Di Yiyue's eyes widened, and she exclaimed, "There is such a technique?"
She could see that Qin Mu had not only cut off the head of his physical body but also the head of his primordial spirit!
After Qin Mu activated his technique, not only did the head of his physical body grow back, but the head of his primordial spirit also regrew!
She had never heard of such a technique or divine power.
Chi Xi the Divine snorted coldly, feeling quite displeased.
The technique Qin Mu used was a perfect combination of the Ming Emperor's Flawless Creation Profound Art and the Red Emperor's Three Primordial Spirits Indestructible Divine Sense. This combination allowed him to achieve the effect of an indestructible physical body and an indestructible primordial spirit!
An indestructible physical body was the perfect technique that even the Red Ming Divine Son dreamed of. He hadn't yet comprehended it, but Qin Mu had already achieved both an indestructible physical body and an indestructible primordial spirit.
Of course, Qin Mu's achievement was something others could only envy.
The Red Ming Divine Son had taught Qin Mu the Ming Emperor's Flawless Creation Profound Art, and the Red Emperor had directly imparted the knowledge of the Three Primordial Spirits Indestructible Divine Sense to him. This gave Qin Mu a level of mastery in indestructible divine sense comparable to the Red Emperor's!
With such mastery, comprehending the Flawless Creation Profound Art became much easier. As a result, Qin Mu's expertise in these two Emperor Seat techniques far surpassed the Red Ming Divine Son's, giving him an unparalleled advantage.
Although he had also passed the Red Emperor's technique to the Red Ming Divine Son, the Red Ming Divine Son couldn't achieve the same level of mastery as the Red Emperor. Consequently, the Red Ming Divine Son still hadn't achieved an indestructible physical body and primordial spirit, while Qin Mu, an outsider, had done so first.
The Woodcutter Sage smiled. He knew Qin Mu's background inside and out, so he naturally understood how terrifying Qin Mu's mastery of creation techniques was.
Qin Mu himself didn't know how powerful he was, but the Woodcutter knew it clearly.
Having inherited the legacies of the Red Emperor and the Ming Emperor, two Emperor Seat masters, Qin Mu could be considered the strongest in creation techniques, bar none!
Qin Mu had brought back two Emperor Seat techniques from the Red Ming Floating Realm, both related to creation techniques, and had unreservedly taught them to the various academies of Yankang.
Tens of thousands of Yankang scholars and experts were diligently studying the mysteries of these techniques. Many talented individuals had emerged, comprehending countless profound principles from these two Emperor Seat techniques.
However, aside from the Woodcutter, almost no one knew that Qin Mu had already reached the pinnacle.
Qin Mu dispelled his three heads and six arms and laughed. "Sister, your injury might be difficult for others to treat, but it's not too hard for me. Do you have any knowledge of creation techniques?"
Di Yiyue shook her head. "I have some basic knowledge, but my mastery is shallow. Not as good as the Great Heavenly Master's."
The Great Heavenly Master she referred to was the Woodcutter Sage.
Qin Mu paced back and forth. "Sister, your physical body is already dead. It has been dead for a long time, but it has been preserved very well, looking as fresh as if you had just died. However, as you walk among the living, the longer you delay, the easier it will be for your body to rot. If it truly rots, then you will be truly dead. How about this..."
He looked up and smiled. "I will use the Creation Profound Art to treat you! Once you come back to life, you can slowly comprehend the creation techniques on your own."
Di Yiyue was surprised. "Can you really treat the physical body of an Emperor Seat expert? I am at the Emperor Seat level!"
Qin Mu was full of confidence. "A healer has a parent's heart..."
"Bah, you're taking advantage of your sister." Di Yiyue rolled her eyes at him, but she didn't seem angry at all.
The Woodcutter, Fu Riluo, and the others exchanged glances.
The First Ancestor of the Human Sovereign lowered his voice and said, "Heavenly Master, did he learn this skill of making girls happy from you?"
The Woodcutter looked confused. "How would I know such a thing? If I did, would I still be alone to this day? To be honest, I've never even taught him techniques or divine powers. He has other teachers..."
On the Observation Platform, the Medicine Master's body had already stiffened.
