Weird Black Mountain (First Update)

Chapter 1171 The Strange Black Mountain (First Update)

Among the three Heavenly Lords who rescued Qin Mu on the Yao Chi that day, Qin Mu always thought that Madam Yuanmu was one of them. However, since Madam Yuanmu turned into Shi Qiluo, the Palace Master of Zaofu Heavenly Palace, it couldn't be her.

Shi Qiluo's status in the Heavenly Court is not high enough, and he started his career in the era of the former emperor. His foundation cannot compare with the Ten Heavenly Lords. Madam Yuanmu will definitely not take this risk.

Even though she controls the divine artifact, Yu Tianzun, she still has to be careful, tread on thin ice, and try not to reveal her true identity.

Otherwise, if eleven Heavenly Lords appeared in Yao Chi, the ten Heavenly Lords would definitely conduct a strict investigation, so she could only wait, and then she would not be the first to rescue Qin Mu.

When the Ten Heavenly Lords took action, she would have even less reason to take action, because Qin Mu would be safe by then.

On the contrary, she could watch the infighting among the Ten Heavenly Lords, including Tian Gong, Tu Bo, Yue Tian Zun and others, and she could also make Qin Mu owe her a favor.

"None of these old guys who have survived the Longhan era are simple characters."

Qin Mu had a big headache. These old monsters were not easy to deal with. If he relaxed a little, he might be eaten by them without leaving anything.

He got rid of Yun Chuxiu and walked side by side with Ling Yuxiu. He talked about what he had seen and heard in the ancestral temple. Ling Yuxiu hesitated and said, "Yankang's power is too small. It is unlikely that he can gain a foothold in the ancestral temple. I always feel that we don't have enough manpower. We have to transfer a group of gods to the ancestral temple to mine minerals. Can we really compete with the Ten Heavenly Lords in the ancestral temple?"

She thought for a moment and said, "It is difficult for the ancestral temple to gain a foothold. If it does too badly, there will be heavy casualties. If it does too well, it will be suppressed by the Ten Heavenly Lords and it will be difficult to please them."

"The ancestral temple is related to the future of Yankang, and we must fight for it."

Qin Mu said in a deep voice: "Yankang can't work for Heaven for his whole life. After Heaven pacifies the ancient gods and Taixu, it will be Yankang's turn. The ancestral temple is very likely to be the key to Yankang's rise. It is also a good thing that the younger generation of Yankang can go to the ancestral temple for training. The younger generation of Yankang now has too few opportunities for training."

Ling Yuxiu smiled and said, "That's because you are not in Yankang. You are now in a higher realm, standing higher and seeing farther, and rarely pay attention to the mortal world. The opportunities for training in Yankang now are so many that we couldn't imagine it before. The younger generation goes to explore the metaverse, fight with demigods, and communicate with the younger generation of the major forces in the metaverse. It is very lively, and many young talents have emerged, no less than you and I in our time."

Qin Mu's spirits lifted, and he said with a smile: "That's good. I'm always worried that they are in a greenhouse and have not experienced any storms."

"Today's young people are more promising than we were back then, and have seen more of the world."

Ling Yuxiu said: "Although there may not be another Mu Tianzun, there will be a group of people at the Emperor Throne level in the future."

Qin Mu felt relieved. The development of Yankang was extremely important. If they worked so hard but no one took over, wouldn’t it be a pity?

"However, we still have to go to the ancestral temple. So, first send the successive emperors of the Human Emperor Palace to the ancestral temple. Now my territory does need a large number of experts, so the First Ancestor Human Emperor will be in charge."

Qin Mu thought for a moment and said, "Blind Grandpa and Mute Grandpa must also go there. In addition to needing them to identify various gemstones and minerals, I also need them to rebuild the Glazed Azure Sky Tower. The current Glazed Azure Sky Tower is too simple, and there is an ancient god egg inside. I don't trust that ancient god egg."

Ling Yuxiu smiled and said, "You are the national teacher. You decide the national policy. I will listen to you."

Qin Mu laughed and asked her if she knew the whereabouts of Fengdu. Ling Yuxiu shook her head and said, "Fengdu is still missing. However, the Woodcutter Saint appeared in Yankang some time ago, but I didn't see him. He sent someone to deliver a letter."

Ling Yuxiu took out the letter and handed it to him, saying, "The woodcutter saint explained why Fengdu did not take action during the Yankang disaster, and he felt very guilty. Take a look for yourself."

Qin Mu unfolded the letter, which was written in the handwriting of the Woodcutter Saint.

The letter said that as a subject he had to obey Emperor Kaihuang's orders. He felt very guilty because Feng could not help at all during the Yankang disaster. He felt even more guilty when he heard that Emperor Yanfeng and former national teacher Jiang Baigui went to Taixu to help Wuyou Township fight against Heaven.

In the letter, the woodcutter sage also spoke for Kaihuang, explained Kaihuang's difficulties, and asked Emperor Yanxiu for understanding.

Qin Mu closed the letter, pondered for a moment, and said, "I'll go see him."

Ling Yuxiu asked in surprise: "How did you meet him?"

"The handwriting on this letter contains his spirit. I will summon his spirit and sense the direction of Fengdu, and then I can find Fengdu."

Qin Mu smiled and said, "I have forgotten that Fengdu did not help Yankang, and Your Majesty does not need to bear a grudge against him. As he said, Kaihuang does have his difficulties."

Ling Yuxiu wanted to raise her hand to smooth her hair, but she remembered her identity and forced herself to hold back. She said, "I understand. You have returned to Yankang many times, and I know you are worried that Yankang will become another Worry-free Township, and that the people of Yankang will forget about reform. I have seen it all."

Qin Mu laughed and said, "After they unload the cargo, I will go back to Yankang with you."

Ling Yuxiu nodded slightly.

The ancestral temple is the Ten Thousand Black Mountains.

In the palace, Long Qilin was trembling, Yan'er was also trembling, and in the middle, little Tu Bo was shaking. The three of them looked outside in horror.

"It's almost dawn, don't be afraid!"

Long Qilin walked out bravely and said, "We have the Glazed Azure Sky Pagoda. This treasure will grant any request!"

He came outside the hall and saw that it was already dark outside. In the darkness, the corpses of countless void beasts killed by Qin Mu were flickering with ghostly fire and floating around.

This incident was not strange. What was strange was that after Qin Mu left here, the corpses of these void beasts shriveled up at a speed visible to the naked eye!

After only three or five days, the Void Beast turned into a pile of bones, with no flesh or blood left!

Long Qilin, Yan'er and Xiao Xiao Tu Bo had all seen the weirdness here, and they still plucked up the courage to go to the corpses of the void beasts to check to see what had sucked the flesh and blood of these giant beasts, but they found nothing!

The unknown is the most terrifying thing.

On the tenth day, they saw the bones of the Void Beast begin to rot and emit ghostly lights, as if they had gone through an unknown number of years.

On the eleventh day, they saw another horrifying scene.

Big mushrooms actually grew on the bones of the Void Beasts. Many big mushrooms grew from the mouths of the Void Beasts. They were very huge, and there were human faces on the mushrooms. The faces were distorted and roaring.

Long Qilin was originally timid and was most afraid of this. He was frightened out of his wits.

Fortunately, these mushrooms withered quickly, and when the sun came out during the day, they turned into black flocs.

Now, the sound of bones collapsing could be heard everywhere in the Black Wood Ten Thousand Mountains. That was the sound caused by the bones of the Void Beast rotting and collapsing.

Long Qilin and Yan'er originally thought that they could have peace for a few days, but that night something strange happened again.

An unprecedented earthquake broke out in the ancestral temple. The intensity of the earthquake was something Long Qilin and Yan'er had never encountered before. The earthquake caused countless sacred mountains in the ancestral temple to collapse, the earth cracked, the mountains became canyons, and the sea dried up, revealing the seabed.

It was unexpectedly quiet on the side of Daheimu, with only the howling of the wind outside. When they walked out of the palace, they saw thunder and lightning outside Daheimu, meteors flying everywhere, and the earth and sky were collapsing and shattering in large pieces. It was simply the end of the world!

When everything calmed down, at dawn the next day, the ancestral temple was still there, without any changes.

However, when night came again, the earth was still shaking, all kinds of strange things were happening, the sky was collapsing and the earth was splitting, as if the world was being destroyed again.

However, during the day, the ancestral temple remained the same, without any changes.

Long Qilin stood outside the hall and saw the east was turning white. The strange phenomenon from last night disappeared again, and the corpse of the Void Beast had completely vanished.

He looked into the distance and was suddenly stunned to see that the top of a Black Wood Peak among the Great Black Wood Mountains was cracked.

Yan'er and Xiao Xiao Tu Bo also bravely walked out. Clouds appeared under the feet of Long Qilin as he flew towards the mountain. However, he saw five deep marks on the mountain. It was as if an extremely thick hand stretched out from the inside of the mountain, grabbed the black mountain, and was dragged back into the mountain. There were five scratches left by the fingernails.

Yan'er followed with Xiao Xiao Tubo, and looking at the five scratches that could be called canyon scratches, she couldn't help but shudder and asked, "What made these scratches?"

Long Qilin shook his head: "I don't know. But let's stay here tonight and take a look and we'll know what it is."

At this moment, an old voice was heard: "If you wait until tonight, your family of three will be eaten by this crawling thing."
