Chapter 1748: Is That Even a Problem?

Don’t know how long it has been.

I just heard Qin Mu say we’ve arrived.

Qin Yi felt his feet on hard ground.

He looked around, completely confused. What kind of place is this?

Looking around, a stretch of chaos. Aside from mountains, it’s all rocks—it looks like the moon’s surface, full of craters and unbelievably desolate.

“What is this place?”

“Deep in the celestial realm.”

Qin Yi’s head couldn’t wrap around it, “What are we here for?”

“Weren’t you going to meet Old Gu?”

Qin Yi exclaimed, “As you say, the Ancient Emperor with supreme power lives here?”

Qin Mu nodded.

“Is this a place where people live?”

Qin Mu gave him a glance with an evil eye.

“What’s so bad about this place? There are mountains and more mountains. Saying it’s picturesque wouldn’t be an exaggeration—it’s simply a paradise beyond the world.”

Qin Yi’s mouth twitched, are you pulling the leg of idiots?

Suddenly, Qin Yi heard the sound of ‘swish, swish’, so he took a few quick steps.

True enough, there’s someone ahead, an old man in cloth clothes, sweeping the ground with a broom.

Qin Yi was shocked to find that wherever he swept, not a few seconds would pass before new rubble would appear.

With this way of sweeping, he could never clean it in a lifetime.

Yet the old man swept very seriously.

This must be the Ancient Emperor; strong people indeed have character, liking to do things ordinary people can’t comprehend.

Qin Yi adjusted his clothes, stepped forward quickly, clasped his hands and bowed, and greeted respectfully, “Junior Qin Yi, pays respect to the Ancient Emperor.”

The sweeping old man’s movements paused; he stopped and turned to look at Qin Yi.

More specifically, turned to look at Qin Mu behind Qin Yi.

“Greetings, Divine Emperor.”

Qin Yi was stupefied, is old Qin’s status so high? Even the lord of the heavens must salute?

Qin Mu casually waved his hand, then said to Qin Yi, “He’s not the Ancient Emperor.”

“Uh…” Qin Yi was embarrassed.

Qin Mu said, “He made a mistake, Demon King Chu punished him to sweep the ground, for endless ages now.”

Qin Yi swallowed his saliva, Demon King Chu’s way of handling people is really strange, to have someone sweep the ground.

“Where’s Old Gu?” Qin Mu asked the sweeping old man.

The sweeping old man bowed, “The Ancient Emperor is ahead.”

“Let’s go.”

Qin Mu took Qin Yi and walked forward.

Soon, Qin Yi saw a gigantic stone gate. How to describe it? This stone gate isn’t the largest he’s seen, but it has an unparalleled majesty; a single glance makes one feel tiny and gives a feeling of prostrating.

On both sides of the stone gate, there were six immense lotus platforms.

Qin Yi’s eyes suddenly condensed, scalp numbing. On one lotus platform, a corpse was lying, feet hanging off the edge, don’t know how long it’s been dead.

“Looks like there was a battle here, someone’s dead over there.”

Qin Yi squinted his eyes and analyzed.

“Hoo, hoo~”

Qin Yi was dumbfounded on the spot.

The snoring sound, that person wasn’t dead, just asleep.

Qin Mu looked at him with a smirk.

Qin Yi was so embarrassed he nearly dug a three-bedroom, one-living room with the sole of his foot.

“Old Gu, I, the Emperor, come to see you.”

Qin Mu spoke.

The person on the lotus platform was still snoring.

“Old Gu, Old Gu…”

Qin Mu called again a few times, but the other person had no reaction at all.

Qin Mu didn’t mind, chuckled and then raised his hand, and a small mountain nearby flew up; as he moved, the small mountain was hurled at the sleeping Ancient Emperor.

“Whoa…”

Qin Yi bared his teeth, this waking method is too fierce.

As a result, when the small mountain was about to fall, the lotus platform where the Ancient Emperor was sleeping suddenly burst into brilliant light. With a boom, the small mountain was destroyed.

Ancient Emperor was also startled awake and shot up.

“Who the heck disturbed the Emperor’s good dreams, believe it or not, I’ll send you into the Beast Path.”

The Ancient Emperor cursed while rubbing his eyes.

Qin Yi felt entirely unwell; this is the Ancient Emperor? A terrifying existence with supreme power?

His hair reached his waist, but it was as messy as a bird’s nest, mustache down to his belly, and his black robe wrinkled and could rival any street beggar.

“Are you sure he’s the Ancient Emperor?”

Qin Mu nodded slightly, “It’s said Old Gu used to be a dignified person.”

Dignified?

From what Qin Yi saw, it was nothing but slovenliness.

“Why did he become this way?”

“Don’t know, maybe Demon King Chu passed the position of heaven’s lord to him, so he’s happy?”

Qin Yi’s mouth twitched slightly, are you fooling a three-year-old?

The Ancient Emperor rubbed his eyes, picked some eye crust, then saw Qin Mu.

He jumped off the lotus platform, leaping and bouncing in front of Qin Mu and Qin Yi, “You scoundrel, how come you have time to see me?”

“Passing by, and by the way, need your help for something.”

Who knew the Ancient Emperor let out a bizarre laugh, “Not doing it.”

“You sure?”

“Dare to kill me.” The Ancient Emperor had an air of a beaten dog.

He pointed at Qin Mu’s nose, saliva flying, cursing, “You, Chu Xun, are both scoundrels. You two goods never get up early for nothing, milk is the mother. Let me tell you, no matter what help you want, just two words… beat it.”

Qin Yi secretly stepped back a few steps to avoid being showered with spit.

He pondered, the reason the Ancient Emperor was so angry, pointing at Qin Mu’s nose cursing, is probably because Qin Mu and Chu Xun have tricked this old man before, he better be careful.

Qin Mu shook his head, said, “Hey, I found someone to replace you, didn’t expect you wouldn’t appreciate the gesture, then forget it, we’ll take leave.”

“You don’t fool me, do you think I’d still believe… huh, what did you just say?” the Ancient Emperor suddenly halted, came up and grabbed Qin Mu’s collar, “Repeat what you just said.”

Qin Mu laughed, “I’ve said so much, how do I know which one you want to hear?”

“You said found someone to replace me?”

Qin Mu pointed to Qin Yi, “Isn’t that right? To be accurate, it wasn’t me who found him, Demon King Chu helped you find him.”

The Ancient Emperor suddenly stared at Qin Yi with fiery eyes, eyes as if a wolf hungry for three months without tasting meat, looking at Qin Yi making his back shiver.

“Junior Qin Yi, pays respect to the Ancient Emperor.”

“Good, good… you’re welcome… hahaha…”

The Ancient Emperor mumbled incoherently, suddenly burst into laughter like a lunatic.

“Good, this kid is nice, looks good, just that his cultivation is too poor, but he has youth, future is promising.” The Ancient Emperor excitedly patted Qin Yi’s shoulder several times.

Qin Yi felt his bones might be crushed, wincing in pain.

“Idiot, quickly ask where the Divine Soul of the person you want to save is?”

Qin Mu transmitted his voice to Qin Yi.

Qin Yi was slightly startled, then snapped out of it, “Senior, junior has a request.”

“Hey, we’re family, don’t talk about requests, not just one thing, a thousand or ten thousand won’t be a problem.”

Qin Yi appreciated, “Senior, a friend of mine died saving me, I want to find her Divine Soul.”

“This thing?”

Qin Yi’s heart was in his throat, “Senior, I beg of you.”

The Ancient Emperor grinned, “This thing… is this even a thing?”
