Mu Qingxiao knew that even though Sakyamuni had made him the Heaven's Gate Emissary, it was impossible for him to trust him. No one would trust a powerhouse who had suddenly appeared, especially in this era.
Hence, Sakyamuni's goal was naturally to have the Mother Goddess keep an eye on him.
However, Mu Qingxiao did not need Sakyamuni's trust. He only needed to go to Divine Dragon Island with him. His goal was to seize the Dragon Origin. The power and sword will he had displayed earlier were for the latter to see.
With the Dragon Slaying Mission at hand, Sakyamuni would not give up what was near for what was far away.
The Mother Goddess wore a green robe and was beautiful. Mu Qingxiao could tell that she was a third-level Golden Core cultivator with just a casual glance.
The Mother Goddess's name was Luo Xian, and she was the current City Lord of Luoyang City.
Luo Xian lost her parents when she was young and was reduced to an orphan on the streets. By chance, Sakyamuni brought her back to Heaven's Gate on a cold night and raised her for many years. He took her in as a disciple and taught her martial arts.
Heaven's Gate was led by Sakyamuni, but there were also many factions. Heaven's Gate was divided into three factions: the Human World, the Earth World, and the Heaven World!
Because Luo Xian's cultivation talent was high, Sakyamuni taught her the Sacred Heart Mantra and named her the Heaven's Gate Emissary, the Devil Mother Goddess. She was in charge of all matters in Heaven's Gate's Human World.
Following behind Luo Xian, Mu Qingxiao walked leisurely in the manor. The manor was heavily guarded and had countless powerhouses.
Four hours later, Luo Xian patiently explained the situation in Heaven's Gate to Mu Qingxiao. After that, she arranged a room for him and left in a hurry.
This manor was very large, and there were masters of the Elysium everywhere. There were countless masters of the Grand Master Realm, but Luo Xian arranged his bedroom in the most central area of the Mortal World, which showed that she was on guard against him.
.....
.....
Time flew by and another half a year passed in the blink of an eye.
Inside the Heaven Gate, in the palace at the center of the Human World, Mu Qingxiao sat cross-legged on a bed. He guarded his Dantian with his palm facing the sky. His will merged with the surroundings, and the rich Spiritual Qi in the world kept pouring into his body.
In the past six months, Mu Qingxiao had been staying in the Elysium to help out. Many important matters were handled by Luo Xian, so Sakyamuni's suspicion of him had lessened a lot.
It was likely that Sakyamuni had investigated his identity and background in the past six months.
Of course, Mu Qingxiao didn't need to worry at all. He wasn't a native here and didn't have any reputation in the pugilistic world. It would be weird if Sakra could investigate him since he just popped out of nowhere.
While handling the affairs of the Heavenly Gates, Mu Qingxiao did not fall behind in terms of cultivation.
His realm was still at the peak of Golden Core Level Eight, but the Yin and Yang Spiritual Qi in his body was like the mighty Yellow River, inexhaustible and inexhaustible.
Compared to Golden Core powerhouses of the same realm, the Yin and Yang Spiritual Qi in Mu Qingxiao's body was definitely dozens of times denser. The difference was completely different.
Moreover, as he cultivated, the gap kept widening.
When a cultivator reached this realm, they would need to spend a lot of time cultivating if they wanted to improve their strength. Of course, there were shortcuts to cultivation, and that was fate, but fate did not come easily.
Half a year had passed, and the auspicious day that occurred once every six hundred years was about to arrive. The dragon slaying was imminent, and Sakyamuni would definitely make a move.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
At this moment, Mu Qingxiao heard a knock on the door. "Who is it?"
"Emissary Mu, the Sect Master wants to see you."
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Hearing that Sakyamuni wanted to see him, Mu Qingxiao's eyes flashed with a trace of excitement.
In the past half a year, his actions had been normal. Other than pretending to be arrogant and obsessed with power, he had done his best to handle the affairs of the Heavenly Gates.
Sakyamuni had sent subordinates all over the world to investigate Mu Qingxiao's identity, but in the end, they found nothing, so he trusted him.
When Sakyamuni summoned him for the dragon slaying, Mu Qingxiao knew that his waiting was not in vain. The day had finally arrived.
When Mu Qingxiao arrived at the ice cellar in the back mountain, which was the so-called Heavenly Realm, the Mother Goddess, the Ice Emperor, and the Divine Generals were all there.
Among them, there was a familiar figure, and an unfamiliar figure.
The familiar figure was naturally Bu Jingyun, while the unfamiliar figure was most likely Huang's Shadow.
Mu Qingxiao only glanced indifferently at Bu Jingyun, as if he was looking at someone completely unrelated. He slowly walked forward and cupped his fists. "Mu Qingxiao greets the Sect Master."
"Mm, since everyone is here, I have something to announce. The Day of Auspiciousness is about to arrive, and so is the time for you to perform meritorious deeds."
Sakyamuni sat on the Thousand Year Ice Throne, his eyes full of anticipation.
"The Sacred Heart Arts I created can make people immortal, but it can't prevent them from aging. The only way to achieve immortality is through dragon essence, so I need all of you to help me slay the dragon."
Hearing Sakyamuni's words, Mu Qingxiao's heart was filled with disdain.
This old fart, he really likes to blow his own trumpet. It was clearly the phoenix blood that made you immortal, so how did it become the Sacred Heart Arts you created?
If the Sacred Heart Arts you created could make people immortal, wouldn't you be able to ascend to the heavens?!
Then, Sakyamuni began to announce a series of dragon-slaying plans. He even made promises to everyone present.
Huai Kong's request was for Sakyamuni to let go of Yu Chuchu and Di Ermeng.
Bu Jingyun didn't make any requests, but in his heart, he was plotting how to obtain dragon essence. Once his strength increased, he would kill that old bastard Sakyamuni.
Everyone present had their own thoughts.
After hearing Sakyamuni's dragon-slaying plans, Mu Qingxiao's heart was extremely calm, but his face was extremely shocked, and he pretended to be ignorant.
"Huai Mie, regarding the voyage, have the remaining divine weapons been prepared?"
"Reporting to Master, they have all been prepared."
"Very good. That's all. You may all leave. We will set off in half a month. Huai Mie, stay. I have something to tell you."
Mu Qingxiao wasn't interested in what happened next. He glanced at Bu Jingyun discreetly and left.
There were hidden sentries everywhere in the Divine Gate, and it was inconvenient for the two of them to meet, so he didn't greet Sakyamuni to avoid suspicion.
After Mu Qingxiao and the others left, Sakyamuni's gaze fell on the Divine General.
"The dragon-slaying candidates will follow the previous arrangements. Bu Jingyun, you two brothers, and Pojun."
"Duan Lang is cunning, but he's not a useless person. I originally planned to let Nameless participate, but he's stubborn, and his ability is much higher than yours. It's really difficult to control him."
As he spoke, Sakyamuni's eyes shone brightly, and he laughed loudly. "Fortunately, the heavens are on my side. Half a year ago, Mu Qingxiao came, and his ability is no worse than Nameless'. He's the most suitable person to replace Nameless."
