Once Yang Jian rose, Qin Mu nodded in satisfaction and said:
"Not bad."
"You took all nine bolts of heavenly lightning with your body alone, without using a single treasure."
"Such a foundation is rare among those of your level."
Praise from Qin Mu brought a smile to Yang Jian's face. He hurriedly bowed and said:
"It's all thanks to your guidance over the years, Master!"
When Yang Jian had first arrived in the Underworld, he had known little about his master, Qin Mu.
Only after learning more had he understood how formidable his master truly was.
Qin Mu was not only the Lord of the Underworld. Emperor Venerate, the ruler of the Heavenly Court, was his Clone. He was Sect Master Tongtian's eldest disciple and a Saint in his own right.
More importantly, Qin Mu was the strongest beneath the Heavenly Dao Realm, unrivaled among Saints.
Once Yang Jian learned all this, he came to admire Qin Mu beyond measure.
If I had Master's strength, what could the Western Heavenly Court do? I could crush it with a turn of my hand.
Of course, Yang Jian knew better than to aim too high too soon. He had to take things one step at a time.
While Yang Jian was lost in thought, Qin Mu gave a light wave of his hand.
Several streaks of light flew from his sleeve and came to a halt before Yang Jian.
"Hm?"
Yang Jian blinked in surprise and looked at the lights floating before him.
Within them were several objects.
A small banner, a short sword, and a jade pendant.
Each radiated the aura of an Innate Spiritual Treasure.
"Are... are these all Innate Spiritual Treasures?"
Yang Jian could not help crying out as he stared at them.
Qin Mu paid no mind
