The Heavenly Court had been established for a full hour.
That was a long time.
There were only three hours left before the First Origin Period.
However, Li Mu suddenly realized something and asked, "How long did the universe exist before the Heavenly Court was established?"
Qin Ling 'er's eyes curved into crescents as she said, "About a while. Hee hee, I know what you want to ask. Don't worry, there is still a long way to go before the First Origin Period. Besides, the five Heaven Emperors and the Saber Master have their own arrangements. Even when the First Origin Period begins, you don't have to worry.
"Survive the Infinite Tribulation of One Origin Period?"
Li Mu was moved when he heard that.
"That's a great ambition."
"Even this little girl knows about it. Doesn't that mean that everyone in the Heavenly Court knows about it?"
"Who is the Tao Ancestor? Why haven't I heard of him?"
Li Mu asked again.
"Hehe, the Dao Ancestor is indeed the Dao Ancestor. When the world was separated from the primordial world, the first living being to attain the Dao was the creator of all the Great Dao Laws in this One-Yuan Universe. Well, in any case, he was … a very powerful, supreme existence.
Qin Ling 'er said.
Li Mu knew that this girl had never seen the Tao Ancestor.
That was normal.
"What about the five Heaven Emperors?" Li Mu asked again.
"You don't even know that?"
Qin Ling 'er giggled and said, "It looks like you've really been cultivating in seclusion for too long. You've almost become stupid. The Five Heavenly Emperors are naturally the North Pole Purple Myrtle Great Emperor, the North Star Upper Palace Great Emperor, the South Pole Eternal Land Great Emperor, the Sky Bearing Imitation Great Emperor, and the Central Jade Emperor Great Emperor … What are you cultivating? What are you cultivating? How could you not know the Five Heavenly Emperors?
Li Mu was quite surprised when he heard that.
It turned out that they were the so-called five Heaven Emperors.
However, in the Taoist legends on Earth, there was a saying that the five were one main and four assistants.
Among them, the Central Jade Emperor was the assistant. The other four were called the Four Royals or the Four Assistants. They were the emperors who assisted the Central Jade Emperor in managing the world.
"Do the five Heaven Emperors have the same status?"
Li Mu decided to get to the bottom of it.
Qin Ling 'er held her chubby chin with her white and soft hand. She said, "The five Sky Kings are all the heirs of the Great Dao Ancestor. Each of them has a spell, and they take turns to control the Sky Court. Now, it is the Jade Emperor Land that controls the Sky Court."
It seemed that the folklore was mostly groundless and not entirely true.
Since the Heavenly Court was so powerful, why was it destroyed by the enemy and the black tide devoured the heavens?
What happened after that?
"The Heavenly Court is so powerful. Would anyone dare to go against it?" Li Mu asked tentatively.
Qin Ling 'er giggled and said, "How is that possible? Of course not. The Heaven Court controls the order of the universe. They set the rules of heaven. All living beings have to follow them. If they dare to disobey, they will be destroyed. Those who oppose the Heaven Court no longer exist."
These words were probably a little boastful.
In Li Mu's mind, there was nothing absolute in the world.
No matter how powerful a force was, it was impossible to control everything.
However, Qin Ling 'er was clearly very proud of being a member of the Heavenly Court.
She was talking about the Heavenly Court in her mind.
When Li Mu was about to ask something, a hearty laugh came from outside the gate. It was Qin Kongyu, who had just returned from duty. He pushed the door open and said, "Little girl, you are ignorant. Of course, the Heavenly Court still has enemies … Fellow Taoist Li, please forgive me for my negligence."
Qin Kongyu, who had taken off his armor, was dressed in a white celestial robe. His complexion was like jade, and he looked even more handsome, giving off a sense of closeness.
Li Mu stood up and cupped his hands. "I dare not. General Qin, you have already done me a great favor by allowing a rogue cultivator like me to hide in the sentry array of the Southern Heaven Gate."
Qin Kongyu knocked on Qin Ling 'er's head and said, "Your sister-in-law is preparing dinner. Go to the Hundred Elders Spring on the Square Street and get a jar of wine. I want to talk to Fellow Taoist Li."
"Oh, brother, if you keep knocking my head like this, I will become more and more stupid." Qin Ling 'er stamped her feet in dissatisfaction. She looked very cute and naive. Then, she made a face at Li Mu and turned to go out.
A moment later.
The wine and dishes were all prepared and served.
Li Mu was quite surprised.
The life in the sentry town of the Southern Heaven Gate was full of secular atmosphere, as if they were ordinary people in the mortal world. Qin Kongyu, the general, did not have any guards at home. His wife, Wei Rulan, took care of the cooking after her shift. She looked like an ordinary woman in the mortal world.
The couple had a son and a daughter.
The son was eight years old, and his name was Qin Kezhen. The daughter was three years old, and her name was Qin Kexuan. They both looked very cute and had a sense of spirituality. Especially the little girl, who was cute and cute. For some reason, she liked to stick to Li Mu and sat directly on Li Mu's stool.
"Big brother, give me a hug."
The little girl said in a babbling voice.
Li Mu did not know whether to laugh or cry.
"But the Mysterious Natural Taoist Figure is close to the Great Way. Brother, you, who have cultivated the Great Way and have no evil thoughts, are the easiest to get close to." Qin Kongyu said with a smile.
Li Mu thought of something and said, "My background is unknown, and I suddenly broke into the Southern Heaven Gate. Brother Qin did not ask about my background, but treated me with such hospitality. Could it be that you have already seen that I am not an evil person?"
"Hahaha."
Qin Kongyu laughed and said, "You're half right. Brother, when you first appeared, the Heaven-Inspecting Mirror in the hall of the South-Heaven Gate did not give off any warning, which means that you don't have any hostility in your heart. Later on, the Heaven-Inspecting Guards secretly used the Heaven-Inspecting Mirror to look at you, but they did not see any evil shadow. It shows that your cultivation is righteous, and you are a cultivator of the Heavenly Dao. When I was talking to you, your tone was casual and natural, which shows that you are not a demon. The Heavenly Court has always welcomed cultivators of the Heavenly Dao. "
Li Mu listened and nodded repeatedly.
So that was it.
The Heavenly Court's sentry post was really powerful.
He did not even notice when the Heavenly Mirror shone on him.
Qin Kongyu was also a hero among the immortals.
The two talked happily.
"Brother, you asked if the Heavenly Court also has enemies. In fact, there are."
Qin Kongyu said, "At the beginning of the primordial world, when the Dao Ancestor was born, there were also other primordial creatures born in the world. Among them, the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin were the strongest. Many primordial creatures were innately violent and cruel, and they fed on living creatures. When the descendants were born, they were weak, and they were slaughtered to become food for the primordial creatures. If it weren't for the fact that they reproduced at a godly speed, almost all of them would have been wiped out. The Dao Ancestor took in five disciples among the human race to pass on the great Dao and revitalize the human race..."
Li Mu said, "Are they the five Heaven Emperors?"
Qin Kongyu said with a smile, "Yes. When the five Heaven Emperors achieved the Great Way, the situation of the human race changed. Later, the five Heaven Emperors founded the human race Taoist orthodoxy and built a dynasty to defend the Great Way, which was the predecessor of the Heavenly Court. Later, the human race flourished, and the Heavenly Court became famous everywhere. The five Heaven Emperors adopted the principle of 'education without discrimination', accepted all kinds of good creatures, and set the rules of heaven and earth together. However, there were many frictions between the natural creatures and the acquired ones. Among them, the dragon, phoenix, and kylin were the most violent. There was a long war that lasted for a long time, which swept across the world and almost broke the universe of this plane. In the end, the Heavenly Court won, and the three races lost … "
