The interior of the shrine was magnificent, but the decorations were different from the ones Qin Mu had seen before. The murals and pillars here were mostly paintings of crouching dragons. The dragons were crawling under the trees, looking very fearful of the old trees.
The bark of the old trees were like dragon scales, and the branches were ancient and strange. They were like thousands of dragons.
Qin Mu examined his surroundings and was astonished. He smiled and said, "Green Deity of the Eastern Sky isn't a dragon?"
Revered God Wu Ji invited him to take a seat and said, "Teacher is a green tree that attained the Dao. Before the Dragon Han Era, teacher was an old tree with withered leaves. Celestial Venerable Yu comprehended the Dao under the tree and created the Spirit Embryo Divine Treasure, becoming the number one Celestial Venerable in the world. At that time, the heavens trembled, and the ancient gods appeared in the sky to praise Celestial Venerable Yu and bless him. Teacher also received benefits from Celestial Venerable Yu. The old tree was about to wither, but because of this, it gained some divine energy and became a divine tree. "
Qin Mu made the Dragon Unicorn crawl beside his feet, and Yan 'er transformed into a fat girl to stand behind Qin Mu's seat. She didn't look as beautiful as she did in the peach forest and instead looked a little silly.
Qin Mu examined the murals in the shrine and said, "I didn't expect Green Deity of the Eastern Sky to have such a deep relationship with Celestial Venerable Yu."
The gods under Revered God Wu Ji were unhappy to see him sitting on the main seat. When they saw that Qin Mu didn't bring any beauties and instead brought an incomparably fat maid, they doubted Mu Tianzun's sense of beauty even more.
Revered God Wu Ji smiled and said, "However, even though teacher became a divine tree, he also suffered a calamity."
Qin Mu ignored everyone's gazes and asked, "Why is that?"
"Originally, teacher had no talent and was old and rotten. He couldn't be chopped to make furniture or carved into a beautiful god statue. It was also strenuous to use him as firewood, so he survived."
Revered God Wu Ji had a smile on his face, and there was deep meaning in his words. "However, teacher became a divine tree, and after a few years, he was chopped down and refined into a treasure. Thus, he couldn't control himself for hundreds of thousands of years. Mu Tianzun, no talent is useless, this is the way to survive. Don't you think so? "
Qin Mu laughed out loud. "That makes sense."
"Because Teacher became a talent, he was chopped up and refined into a treasure. Back then, during the Jade Pool Meeting in the first year of the Dragon Han Era, Teacher was brought to the Jade Pool. Thus, he was able to see the nine Celestial Venerables. Among them was Mu Tianzun, and he also saw the glory of that era."
Revered God Wu Ji said, "Back then, teacher was muddle-headed and was a spirit weapon. He was held in someone's hand and listened to a lecture in the crowd. The ones explaining the celestial palaces on the divine platform were Celestial Venerable Yu and Hao Tianzun. Only later did teacher find out that Celestial Venerable Yu was actually Mu Tianzun, thus teacher is extremely grateful to you. "
Qin Mu laughed involuntarily and said, "I never thought that there would be so many big shots in the future among the people who attended the lecture at the Jade Pool."
Revered God Wu Ji said, "After that, the Postcelestial lifeforms and the half-gods each established their own Heaven and fought endlessly. Teacher also changed hands several times. When the Dragon Han Era's First Calamity erupted, the Heaven rose and left the mortal world, staying high above the nine heavens. Teacher also became an ownerless tree after the battle and fell into the mortal world. After tens of thousands of years, when teacher was about to shed his tree body, he was spotted by a god of the Crimson Light Era and chopped down to refine him into a pestle. "
Qin Mu sighed. "The Green Deity of the Eastern Sky's experience is truly filled with disasters, how pitiful."
"Throughout this journey, teacher's primordial spirit never extinguished and he changed hands several times. There was even a period of time when he fell into the hands of Light Emperor and became an Emperor's Throne divine weapon. When it came to the High Emperor Era, the killing became even more intense, and teacher became one of the strongest divine weapons that the North and South High Emperors fought over in the Heaven. "
Revered God Wu Ji said, "During the High Emperor Era, the ancient gods of the Heaven also participated in the battle. Because teacher was refined too strong, East Deity Qing Long personally intervened and interrupted teacher in a great battle, thus forming a feud with teacher."
Qin Mu looked at the murals and came to a realization. "So there was such a feud. No wonder the slaves that built the god city were mostly of the dragon race. In the murals, the dragons were also crawling under the trees."
Revered God Wu Ji said, "Even though teacher was broken by East Deity, he didn't die. During the last years of the High Emperor Era, he transformed into a human and swore to take revenge in the future. Later on, he was even favored by the Heaven and became the Green Deity of the Eastern Sky, the master of the Eastern Celestial Palace. In the future, teacher will also replace the Green Dragon Celestial Palace and become the East Deity! "
Qin Mu sighed in admiration. "Extreme misfortune brings bliss. It can be seen that there will always be a use for talents."
Revered God Wu Ji said, "Teacher doesn't want to be enemies with Mu Tianzun. After all, Mu Tianzun has helped teacher a lot. Back in Yankang's capital city, teacher had already given in to Mu Tianzun."
Qin Mu's expression was solemn. "I'm also very grateful in my heart."
Revered God Wu Ji said, "Before teacher returned to the Eastern Sky, he instructed me that if Mu Tianzun could live and work here in peace, the Eastern Celestial Palace would be willing to provide protection for Mu Tianzun and ensure Mu Tianzun's safety. Teacher said that he was a useless piece of wood back then. Later on, because he was useful, he fell into depravity for hundreds of thousands of years and couldn't control himself. It was only later on that he was able to free himself. Mu Tianzun is a smart person, so he should understand what teacher meant. "
Qin Mu smiled. "I understand. Green Deity of the Eastern Sky wants me to be a useless person. Even if I'm useful, I should be willing to be useless and stay here. "
Revered God Wu Ji smiled. "That's exactly what teacher meant. In order to protect Mu Tianzun, teacher is willing to go against certain powers, which is also very difficult. Teacher said that without a soul, Mu Tianzun might not be able to hold on for long. Even if our Eastern Celestial Palace suffers a little, it's nothing. Mu Tianzun can retire here and enjoy the rest of his life. It's also considered repaying Mu Tianzun's kindness of imparting his skills and teachings at the Jade Pool Meeting. Mu Tianzun should be able to understand teacher's painstaking efforts. "
"I understand, but I don't appreciate it."
Qin Mu laughed. "Emperor Yanfeng and Jiang Baigui, as one of the three heroes of the reform, were the chief evildoers who went against Heaven's will. That's why they were imprisoned by Heaven for 200 years. As Mu Tianzun, I wasn't imprisoned by Heaven. Instead, I was imprisoned here by Green Deity of the Eastern Sky. Green Deity of the Eastern Sky, is his face bigger than Heaven? "
Revered God Wu Ji's expression changed slightly, and he smiled. "If Mu Tianzun isn't willing to be protected by my Eastern Celestial Palace, then I can't do anything about it. Truth be told, although Eastern Celestial Palace is teacher's power, there are also other powers in Heaven. I also have many disciples of these powers training under me. "
Many of the gods under him were eager to give it a try.
Qin Mu smiled. "Revered God means that Green Deity of the Eastern Sky doesn't dare to kill me, but there are others who do?"
Revered God Wu Ji sighed. "I'm also a small figure and can't make the decision. If Mu Tianzun is willing to be protected by Eastern Celestial Palace, then I swear to protect Mu Tianzun with my life. However, if Mu Tianzun isn't willing to accept it, I can only turn a blind eye. "
Qin Mu looked at the gods under him and said, "Revered God, can you introduce me to some of the people who want to get rid of me?"
Revered God Wu Ji hurriedly said, "I wouldn't dare to say that they want to get rid of Mu Tianzun. They just want to teach Mu Tianzun a lesson. This is the disciple of Son of Heaven Yin, Yue Wuji. "
