Will Meet You Under the Moon on Yaotai
Chapter 916: Meeting at Yaotai under the Moon
"The man from a million years ago has returned."
The Heavenly Palace is magnificent and golden, with countless gods and demons. Countless gods and demons live in this extremely luxurious world. Originally, the Heavenly Palace was peaceful, or at least it was peaceful on the surface. Even when the Heavenly Palace’s army came down to the mortal world to eradicate the Earth Mother Yuanjun and pacify the Yuan Realm, it did not cause any waves in the Heavenly Palace.
However, the originally calm heaven was now like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.
Various pieces of news spread everywhere, not only reaching the palace, but also reaching the ears of the Heavenly Lord, becoming a topic that swept the Heavenly Court.
That person is back.
Millions of years ago in the early years of the Longhan Dynasty, that man was named Tianzun by the Emperor of Heaven and became one of the Nine Tianzun. He conquered an entire era with his unparalleled Taoist magical powers.
He taught the Dharma on behalf of Yu Tianzun and established the Heavenly Palace cultivation system for the world. He also severely injured Hao Tianzun, causing him to lie on the sickbed for many years without recovering.
Today, the emperor no longer cares about worldly affairs, and Lord Haotian has become the supreme being who holds the authority in heaven and is high above everyone else.
The person who seriously injured him disappeared without a trace and disappeared from the world for millions of years.
There was also news that when Lord Haotian controlled the most powerful weapon to go down to the mortal world to quell the rebellion, that person used the hand of Mother Earth to severely damage Lord Haotian's soul.
There was also news that the man was the Son of God in Youdu, who was intercepted by the Four Emperors of Heaven and was seriously injured.
There is also news that the man dug out his own soul and became a soulless person, and now he is powerless.
However, there was also news that the man had killed many young and powerful men from the Heavenly Court in the Yuan Realm, and countless ancient gods and disciples of the Four Emperors had died in his hands.
There were also gods and demons who returned to heaven from the underworld saying that the man's breath was weak and he would not live long.
Countless people were discussing the arrival of that person. A strange atmosphere filled the heavenly court, with undercurrents surging beneath the calm surface.
"The ship of the Southern Emperor Suzaku arrived at the Heavenly Palace today. Is it related to that person?"
"I heard that the East Emperor left Dongji, and the West Emperor also left Xiji."
"The water in the Tianhe River has been moving strangely. Recently, the water level has risen and the boats are high. Some people suspect that the Northern Emperor Xuanwu has secretly arrived in the Heavenly Palace!"
"I also heard that the Four Emperors of Heaven wrote to the Emperor of Heaven, saying that they would return to Heaven in the near future. It is said that the Black Emperor has already arrived!"
"I heard that many ancient gods from the Great Wilderness came to the Heavenly Palace to report on their duties. The Sun Star Lord and others have also arrived in the Heavenly Palace! I also heard that the Dao Ancestor, who had disappeared for many years, returned to the Heavenly Palace. The Great Brahma King Buddha, who had slept for who knows how many years, woke up and also came to the Heavenly Palace. He went to see the Dao Ancestor as soon as possible!"
"The situation in Heaven is a bit strange."
"I heard that the man has arrived at Yaochi, saying that he wants to pay a visit to the Emperor and Empress! How audacious! He was the one who severely injured Lord Haotian in Yaochi a million years ago!"
"The Empress allowed him to live in the Manhuilang Pavilion, where Yu Tianzun was assassinated!"
"I went to Yaochi myself and met that man. He looked weak, skinny, and not very healthy. His vitality was draining away all the time. I suspect he came here to remember his old friend and took the opportunity to commit suicide. Who can resist killing him and then bear the eternal infamy?"
"Who dares to kill him? Aren't they afraid of being attacked by political enemies?"
"There are many people who want to kill him, and there are many ways to kill him. After killing him, we just need to find some scapegoats."
"The Heavenly Palace today is no longer the Heavenly Palace he knew back then."
…
The holy land of Yaochi, Manhuilang Pavilion.
Qin Mu came to the window of Man Huilang Pavilion and looked at the huge lotus flowers in the Yao Sea, and the divine turtles swimming in the Yao Sea carrying the sacred mountains on their backs, just like before.
He looked a little thin and his complexion was indeed not very good. Revisiting the old place, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.
Although the main structure of today's Heavenly Palace has not changed from that of the early Longhan period, there are significant differences between them.
There were thirty-six palaces and seventy-two treasure halls near the Heavenly Palace in the past, but now most of those palaces and treasure halls have been moved away from this place and scattered throughout the universe, suppressing the world. Only a few palaces remain.
Even so, the scale of the Heavenly Palace is even greater than before, with thousands of buildings and palaces, and is extremely luxurious.
The Yao Chi has also been rebuilt. Back then, it was already extremely vast. After millions of years, this Yao Chi is more like the Yao Sea, and the sacred scenery is breathtakingly beautiful.
It was here that he participated in the Yao Chi Festival and experienced a major event that affected the course of history for millions of years.
Back then, he and Kaihuang both took shortcuts and amazed an era with their knowledge that was a million years ahead of the early Longhan era. If he and Kaihuang were born in that era, perhaps they would have been just two inconspicuous people in that magnificent era.
This is also the reason why many young people in the Heavenly Court look down on him. These young people believe that if they were to travel back to the early years of Longhan, they would only do better than him, not worse.
Yan'er came to his side, holding a plate of fruit, and said, "Sir, the palace maids picked some fruit, and I just asked Fatty Long and Master Qi to taste it. Fatty Long and Master Qi are still alive, so it should not be poisonous."
Qi Jiuyi and Long Qilin, who were following behind her, couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in their hearts when they heard this.
The Phoenix Ship sent them to the outside of the South Heaven Gate and immediately returned to the Yuan Realm. Only Qi Jiuyi stayed because he was worried about Long Qilin's safety.
After Qin Mu came to the Heavenly Palace, the news spread throughout the Heavenly Palace. He asked to see the Emperor and Empress, but the Emperor and Empress did not show up. Instead, they ordered people to invite him to live in Yao Chi, in the Man Huilang Pavilion where Yu Tianzun was assassinated.
The palace maids here are all serving the emperor and empress. Each of them is like a deity, dressed gorgeously and beautifully.
But Yan'er was worried that someone would poison Qin Mu, so she let Qi Jiuyi and Long Qilin taste each kind of food first. Only after they were fine did she dare to give it to Qin Mu.
"Sister Yan'er, you don't have to be so careful. I am also proficient in medicine. It shouldn't be easy to poison food."
Qin Mu smiled and said, "Besides, there is no need for Heaven to use poisoning to get rid of me. They have many other ways."
Qi Jiuyi's eyes flickered as he looked around and said, "Master Qin knows. Is this the place where Yu Tianzun, the leader of the Nine Heavenly Lords, was killed?"
Qin Mu nodded gently: "This is also the origin of the catastrophes from Longhan to Yankang."
Qi Jiuyi said: "I heard that the Tianmeng was originated here. Ling Tianzun, Yun Tianzun and Yue Tianzun founded the Tianmeng here, and together with Mu Tianzun and Qin Tianzun, they became the five founding elders of the Tianmeng."
Qin Mu raised his eyebrows and said, "I had already left at that time."
Qi Jiuyi glanced at him and said, "I heard that after the Tianmeng was established, the leaders of the Tianmeng would often come here to discuss matters. This is considered a headquarters of the Tianmeng."
Qin Mu became interested and asked, "Who are the leaders of the Heavenly Alliance?"
"The current Heavenly Alliance has ten leaders, all of whom have been given the title of Heavenly Lord by His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor. However, some ancient gods no longer recognize these ten Heavenly Lords, and only recognize the original nine Heavenly Lords."
Qi Jiuyi said: "The first one is Hao Tianzun, the second one is Huo Tianzun, the third one is Xiao Tianzun, the fourth one is Zu Shenwang, also known as Zu Tianzun. The fifth one is Langxuan Shenhuang, also known as Lang Tianzun. The sixth one is Qiang Tianfei, also known as Qiang Tianzun. The seventh one is Yan Tianfei, also known as Yan Tianzun. The eighth one is Hong Tianzun, the ninth one is Xu Tianzun, and the tenth one is Gong Tianzun."
Qin Mu frowned. Among these ten new Heavenly Lords, he only recognized Hao, Huo, and the Ancestral God King. However, he had only fought with the Ancestral God King's Heavenly Lord weapon and had never seen the real person.
As for Tianzun, he had never seen him before.
"There are also Yue Tianzun and You Tianzun, why are they not among the Ten Tianzuns?" Qin Mu asked.
Qi Jiuyi shook his head and said, "I heard that Yue Tianzun and You Tianzun had long been in seclusion and not well-known. When His Majesty re-determined the ranking of Tianzun, he did not include them. The new ten Tianzun all have great power in the Heavenly Court, but the new ranking of Tianzun is not convincing to the public."
He glanced around and lowered his voice, saying, "Some people say that the nine former celestial masters, except Qin Tianzun, all had great merits and established the Shenzang cultivation system and the Tiangong cultivation system. Their achievements were so great that they benefited the world for generations. Even Qin Tianzun, when he fought in Yaochi, his magical powers influenced countless people in later generations, so he could barely be considered to have great merits. But the current celestial masters all rely on their strength and military exploits. As for the great merits that influenced future generations, they don't have any. Therefore, many people in the heavenly court are dissatisfied. Few people would mention the Ten Celestial Masters, but the Nine Celestial Masters."
Qin Mu smiled and said, "So Brother Qi also thinks that I have great merits and deserve the name of Mu Tianzun?"
Qi Jiuyi was furious at first, but suddenly he burst into laughter and said, "Although I don't like you very much, ever since I knew that you are Mu Tianzun who taught the way to become a god, I have a natural respect for you. But every time I see you, I still can't help but feel disgusted."
Qin Mu laughed loudly and was about to ask him about the origins of Xiao Tianzun, Zu Tianzun and others, when suddenly a palace maid walked up to the Manhuilang Pavilion, presented a visiting card and said, "Tianzun, there are guests visiting."
Qin Mu had no choice but to hold back. He took the visiting card and said with a smile, "I knew someone would come looking for me, but I didn't expect it to be so soon. Please come."
The maid withdrew.
Qin Mu opened the visiting card and saw that the person who presented it was Yun Jianli. Qin Mu handed the visiting card to Qi Jiuyi and asked, "Who is this Yun Jianli?"
Qi Jiuyi's expression changed slightly, looking a little unhappy, and he said, "Yun Jianli is from the Yun family."
Qin Mu asked in confusion: "Yun family? Which Yun family?"
"Descendants of Yun Tianzun."
Qi Jiuyi said: "It is said that after Yun Tianzun's death, the Yun family survived, but the Yun family had few descendants, and each generation was a single-line inheritance, barely keeping the bloodline unbroken. However, every generation of the Yun family is an outstanding genius, extremely outstanding, but the strange thing is that every generation of the Yun family, when they cultivate to the Divine Bridge realm, often die suddenly before they have time to set foot in the Heavenly Palace. Therefore, the Yun family often has only one male heir, and the others are widows. Yun Jianli is the son of this generation of the Yun family, a rising star in the Heavenly Palace, and is called the Sick Prince. His talent..."
The corners of his eyes twitched, and he said, "Before I was ordered to go down to the mortal world to eliminate you, I came here and fought with a young master from the Heavenly Palace. He was very powerful."
Qin Mu smiled slightly and said, "At that time, you were a disciple of the Red Emperor and the Black Emperor, and practiced the unique skills of the two emperors. When I fought with you, your amazing strength made Zhe Huali and I admire you very much. But you learned the skills of the Red Emperor, so your magical power reaction speed is not as fast as mine and Zhe Huali's. How do you compare to this sick young master Yun Jianli?"
"It was a clean loss."
Qi Jiuyi did not deny it and said, "I have never been convinced by you. I feel that I may be able to defeat you, but I am convinced by him and I think I am far inferior to him. However, I have experienced the baptism of the Yankang Reform. If we fight again today, the outcome is still unknown."
Qin Mu was moved.
Qi Jiuyi was originally very powerful, and he had been staying in the lower realm to help Xu Shenghua build the Shangcang Academy. His vision and experience had greatly changed.
Xu Shenghua was also the master of the Yankang Reform, with extraordinary talent. Qi Jiuyi's current strength is definitely much better than before. However, Qi Jiuyi only dared to say that the outcome of today's rematch is still unknown. It is conceivable how badly Qi Jiuyi lost at that time!
At this moment, the palace maid led a man and a woman onto the Man Hui Lang Pavilion. The young man in the lead was tall and thin, dressed in elegant cloud-white clothes, his face was a little pale, but handsome.
Although he looked handsome and elegant, there was a dark aura between his eyebrows, as if he was seriously ill.
The sick young master Yun Jianli bowed to Qin Mu and said respectfully: "Mr. Yun, I pay my respects to Lord Mu."
Qin Mu was about to help him stand up, but he saw the woman behind Yun Jianli also bowed and said, "Yun Chuxiu, I pay my respects to Mu Tianzun."
When Qin Mu saw the face of the woman Yun Chuxiu, he was shocked.
Yan'er, who was following behind him, immediately saw densely packed small rashes on the back of Qin Mu's neck. It was obvious that Qin Mu felt dangerous and was extremely nervous!
"Why is the young master so nervous about this girl named Yun Chuxiu?"
Yan'er looked at the girl and couldn't help but feel a little infatuated. She secretly praised in her heart: "The clouds resemble her clothes and the flowers resemble her face. Such a beautiful girl is rare in the world. She is no less beautiful than your mother-in-law Si Youyou."
The woman had an appearance of pure and refined beauty, like the most beautiful goddess in the world who had walked out of a story or legend, or out of a painting. Her every frown, smile, and gesture were all so natural, without a single flaw to be found.
However, Qin Mu felt extremely cold, chilling to the bone.
He had seen this woman.
Qin Mu felt a chill rising in his heart. "Shouldn't she be buried with the Emperor and Empress, in the coffin on the ghost ship? Jue Wuchen, why did you come out..."
