Chapter 990: Shame on You, Bad Little Brother
"Indeed, Sword Twenty is extremely powerful."
Shu Jun set the Qin Mu he was carrying down. Qin Mu stretched his body, becoming lively and bouncing around again, causing Shu Jun to marvel in amazement.
Earlier, Qin Mu's injuries had been severe. The Kai Emperor's Sword Twenty had gravely wounded him. At that time, the severity of Qin Mu's injuries made Shu Jun suspect that his soul was about to return to the Spirit Ancestor Realm.
Back then, the sword wounds on Qin Mu's body were very serious, but the most severe injuries were not to his physical body. Instead, his Embryonic Divine Treasure and Heavenly Palace were damaged, harmed by the Sword Domain that the Kai Emperor had fused with the Sword Twenty technique.
However, strangely enough, despite being so heavily injured, Qin Mu recovered astonishingly quickly. Shu Jun even suspected that the kid was pretending to be more hurt than he actually was.
"The Kai Emperor truly deserves his reputation as the foremost Sword Dao expert. His understanding of the sword is indeed deeper than others. The Sword Twenty technique he created is even more formidable than Sword Nineteen, the Tribulation Sword."
Qin Mu took out his sword pellet, gesturing back and forth, trying to replicate the Sword Twenty technique.
Sword Twenty was fundamentally different from the previous nineteen basic sword techniques.
When Qin Mu had comprehended Sword Eighteen, he had already felt a sense that the further one went in the basic sword techniques, the more divine power they required. Eventually, it would become an unbearable sword technique, potentially draining all of one's divine power with a single use.
His Sword Eighteen already showed signs of this.
His cultivation was profound, stronger than his peers, and even surpassed the Kai Emperor, who was renowned for his majestic and profound power, by a considerable margin at the same cultivation level. Therefore, he didn't find using Sword Eighteen particularly taxing.
However, if it were someone else, it wouldn't just be a matter of difficulty. Using Sword Eighteen to form a complete set of sword techniques would likely drain the divine power of a single Divine Ability user entirely.
As for Sword Nineteen, the Tribulation Sword, the amount of divine power required was even more astonishing. Moreover, it wasn't just about using divine power; it also demanded extremely high attainments in mathematical arrays and even space, as well as an extremely high state of mind.
Sword Nineteen also imposed extremely harsh requirements on one's sword technique mastery. Therefore, mastering this move could directly lead to achieving enlightenment through the sword!
Yet, very few people in the world had learned this move.
Even if someone did learn it, the consumption of divine power would likely be unbearable for an ordinary Divine Ability user.
During his all-out confrontation with the Kai Emperor, Qin Mu realized that the requirements for the Kai Emperor's Sword Twenty were even higher, almost to the point of being perverse.
"To use this sword, it seems one must inject their soul into the sword, burning blood and Qi, and coordinate it with a Sword Domain to execute it."
Qin Mu frowned deeply. He had no hope of executing Sword Twenty in the short term. He was currently unable to comprehend his own Sword Domain.
His Tribulation Sword wasn't a basic sword technique. Instead, it was a sword technique for severing Divine Treasures and Heavenly Palaces, a sword path created to break the old system, originally intended for self-severing.
Back then, Qin Mu had lost his soul and only had his consciousness left. Using the Tribulation Sword to sever himself, he first destroyed his own Heavenly Palace. The sword light, carrying the mighty momentum of the collapsing Heavenly Palace, severed the Divine Bridge, destroyed the Heavenly Man, Five Luminaries, Six Harmonies, Life and Death Divine Treasures, leaving only the Embryonic Divine Treasure.
Later, he used this move to sever the Heavenly Palaces and Divine Treasures of other gods, demons, and Divine Ability users, which also worked well.
However, this move was not a basic sword technique.
The Kai Emperor clashed with him at the same cultivation level, both using the divine power of the Revered God realm. Qin Mu's Divine Treasure Domain forcibly suppressed the Kai Emperor with immense power, yet he was still injured by Sword Twenty. This showed how terrifying Sword Twenty was when combined with a Sword Domain, capable of overcoming a stronger opponent with a weaker force.
But not being able to learn such a powerful Sword Twenty left him feeling somewhat disappointed.
"I am the Overlord Body. I just need to work a little harder..."
His spirits lifted again, and he set off with Shu Jun towards the territory of the Creators.
Among the Xiu Min tribe, many adult Creators, led by Xiu Zhong and the elders of the various Star Lords, were helping the Netherworld God Child, Qin Fengqing, open up the Other Shore Netherworld. Only the elderly and young remained in the tribe.
The same was true for all other tribes. The Other Shore Netherworld was even more important to the Creators, which was why the Divine King Lang Wan had ordered all Creator tribes to fully assist Qin Fengqing in building the Other Shore Netherworld.
Qin Mu tried to open the Gate of Bearing Heaven and was surprised to find that it actually opened.
He poked his head inside and saw countless Creators, like towering giants, walking through the vast void. Their brows glowed with light, which was their divine consciousness using the Primal Chaos Divine Stone to create.
Qin Fengqing was no smaller than them, even larger, standing at the center of the Other Shore Netherworld.
The various Netherworld Great Daos within his body radiated outward, merging with the Creators' divine consciousness. The Creators worked together to imprint his Great Dao onto the void.
"Don't open the gate! Don't open the gate!"
Divine King Lang Wan noticed the portal Qin Mu had opened and quickly sent her divine consciousness as a voice into Qin Mu's mind, saying, "You can't open the gate now. It will cause the Great Dao and divine consciousness of the Other Shore Netherworld to leak out and disturb the Other Shore."
Qin Mu moved, slipping into the Other Shore Netherworld and closing the Gate of Bearing Heaven.
He looked around. From here, he could clearly see the continents and stars of the Other Shore World, and even the Thirty-Three Heavens, Carefree Realm, with perfect clarity.
The Other Shore Netherworld overlapped with the Other Shore World. The Other Shore Netherworld, built by the Creators and Qin Fengqing together, could reach every corner of the Other Shore World. If it continued to develop, it would eventually extend to the Land of Extreme Emptiness.
Qin Fengqing had always wanted to become the Little Earth Lord, to have his own territory and be able to take care of his mother. Now, he not only had a territory, but an extremely vast one. Here, he could not only take care of his mother but also everyone in Carefree Realm.
He could even take care of all the Creators in the Land of Extreme Emptiness and the Other Shore World, making the Extreme Emptiness less dangerous for them.
"Bad little brother!"
Qin Fengqing spotted Qin Mu and said excitedly, "You came to see me! This place is no fun at all. I can only watch these big guys, and I can't eat them!"
The Creators around him all had gloomy faces, wanting to hit him but not daring to.
Qin Mu flew towards him. Qin Fengqing, annoyed by his slow flying speed, reached out his hand. Qin Mu landed in his palm. Qin Fengqing retracted his hand, bringing Qin Mu before his face, where he floated beside him like a tiny speck of dust.
"In the future, you'll have plenty to eat, but you can't just eat the people of Carefree Realm or the Creators."
Qin Mu patiently guided him, saying, "The Heavenly Court will attack this place, searching for traces of Carefree Realm. Outside the Land of Extreme Emptiness, countless of them will die. You won't have time to eat them all, and you can even save some for lean times!"
Qin Fengqing was overjoyed, rubbing his hands together and saying, "How wonderful! Wouldn't it be torture for them to be saved? I'll just suffer a bit and reluctantly eat them all. I'll just exercise more to digest them!"
Qin Mu shook his head and said, "There are so many experts in the Heavenly Court. How could you possibly eat them all? Besides, if a war breaks out, there will be even more casualties. As for the people of Carefree Realm and the Creators, you need to establish a system of punishing evil and rewarding good. Eat the bad ones, keep the good ones."
"Punishing good and rewarding evil is better!"
Qin Fengqing said confidently, "More to eat!"
A vein bulged on Qin Mu's forehead. "Punish evil and reward good!"
Qin Fengqing asked suspiciously, "What does that mean?"
Qin Mu steadied himself and explained, "A steady stream flows far."
Qin Fengqing suddenly understood and giggled, "That's a good method. Even good people always do bad things sometimes. Good method, good method! Lick the good people when they do bad things, eat the bad people when they do bad things!"
The Creators around them were sweating profusely, their foreheads dripping with cold sweat, unsure if it was from exhaustion or fear.
Qin Mu sighed inwardly, thinking, "My brother is probably careless when it comes to making rules, acting according to his own whims. But the divine beings of the Kai Emperor's Heavenly Court are skilled in this area. They will definitely create a set of rules to restrain my brother, not letting him act recklessly according to his own desires."
Divine King Lang Wan was also very worried, feeling that both brothers were somewhat unreliable.
Qin Mu had initially given her a feeling of being reliable and dependable, but after hearing his conversation with Qin Fengqing, it was clear that he was also somewhat unreliable.
"Sister Divine King, can you open a passage to the Land of Extreme Emptiness, allowing the Other Shore Netherworld to cover it?" Qin Mu asked.
Divine King Lang Wan shook her head and said, "It's difficult to achieve overnight. It will take a long time. However, if we open a passage to the Land of Extreme Emptiness, if the Heavenly Court attacks, they might be able to kill their way into the Other Shore Netherworld. This is a big problem. So, I think we should open a passage to the Netherworld from the Three Rooms, at least to have a checkpoint to guard against the Heavenly Court."
Qin Mu praised, "Sister is meticulous."
Divine King Lang Wan smiled slightly and asked, "How did it go with the Kai Emperor?"
"We fought. He said he would hit me five times, I said I would hit him ten times. Neither worked."
Qin Mu thought for a moment and said, "At the same cultivation level, I'd say it's thirty-seventy. I'm seventy, he's thirty. But if he learns the results of the Yan Kang Reformation, then it's hard to say. Maybe forty-sixty or fifty-fifty. At most, he's a hair's breadth behind me. He has his strengths, and it won't be easy for me to surpass him."
Divine King Lang Wan looked at him curiously. After a moment, she chuckled and said, "The Holy Infant has told the Divine Son so much. Could it be that you don't want to stay here?"
Qin Mu nodded and said, "I plan to set off now and return to the Long Han Heavenly Court. Things here have come to an end. The Creators and Carefree Realm are living in harmony. The Kai Emperor will handle everything on the Carefree Realm side. With the Other Shore Netherworld established, there's no longer any danger of this place collapsing. This place no longer needs me. The outside world is vaster and more colorful."
Divine King Lang Wan blinked and said, "I also want to go out for a walk and see the Ancestral Court."
Qin Mu quickly said, "Don't go out! You'll cause a huge mess if you go out! There's nothing interesting in the Heavenly Court, really!"
Divine King Lang Wan asked curiously, "I haven't caused any trouble here. Why would I cause trouble if I go out?"
Qin Mu's head ached. It was hard to explain to her.
If the Empress Dowager and Lady Yuan Mu saw another Jue Wu Chen, what kind of chaos would that cause?
Moreover, Divine King Lang Wan was so beautiful that she was a weapon in herself, capable of affecting the Dao hearts of countless people, inevitably stirring up bloody storms.
After all, Divine King Lang Wan's beauty and temperament surpassed even Yun Chu Xiu's. Although they looked similar, Yun Chu Xiu always gave people a feeling of being an artificial creation, while Divine King Lang Wan was naturally formed and more attractive.
Furthermore, the Ancient God Heavenly Emperor was still alive!
If the Ancient God Heavenly Emperor saw Divine King Lang Wan, what would happen?
Qin Mu dared not imagine.
Divine King Lang Wan said gloomily, "The Creator race must go out. This is also the Holy Infant's duty. Holy Infant, can everyone leave the Other Shore, but I alone must be locked up here?"
Qin Mu hesitated.
Qin Fengqing watched them curiously, his massive face almost pressing against them, his eyes rolling, sometimes landing on Qin Mu, sometimes on Divine King Lang Wan.
He found Qin Mu's hesitant expression very interesting. His little brother was usually so decisive and resolute. When had he ever been so hesitant?
"Shame on you, bad little brother!" Qin Fengqing chuckled.
Qin Mu's face flushed red, and he defended himself, "No, I'm not! Brother, stop talking nonsense!"
Divine King Lang Wan didn't understand their language and continued to look at Qin Mu. Qin Mu gritted his teeth and said decisively, "You can come with me, but you must listen to me. You cannot reveal your true Creator form. You must be like an ordinary person in daily life, and you must also cover up the vertical eye on your forehead."
Divine King Lang Wan nodded and said softly, "I'll do as you say."
Qin Mu's heart stirred, and he quickly steadied himself to avoid being mocked by Qin Fengqing. He said, "I have a willow leaf here that I can stick on your forehead. I used it before to seal my brother..."
He took out the golden willow leaf. Divine King Lang Wan closed her eyes, waiting for him to stick it on her forehead.
Seeing this, Qin Mu's heart stirred again.
"Shame on you!" Qin Fengqing laughed.
