Supreme Swordsman of the Nine Heavens

Walk-In Heart Genesis

“Haha, what a man. He had us all fooled,” jeered Gui Ximing, taking delight in the man’s identity.

“Dad?!”

“Guess I know where to find Walk-in Heart Genesis now, aye?” Gui Ximing jeered, locking his eyes on Mu Yu.

The black light shrouding Walk-in Heart Genesis faded, unravelling its true form as a two metre tall scarlet pillar covered in carvings and blood swishing inside. Mu Yu saw the very same pillar at Ku Mu Valley back when Ku Mu kidnapped and dumped him deep within Ku Mu Valley. Back then, he gave in to the pillar’s badgering and almost went on a rampage if Xiaoshuai didn’t bring him back to his senses.

Gui Ximing stowed his axe and sniggered, “My mission is complete. See you back in World Manifestation Cycle Seal. If you know what’s good with you, you’ll return it to its rightful owner.”

After Gui Ximing departed, Mu Yu cursed, “Damn it, I don’t even know where it’s hidden now. That prick is going to try to kill me and the souls on the island the moment we return. Actually, he could just let Gui Yeming butcher me!”

The dragon vine wriggled up Mu Yu’s shoulder. “Mu Yu, what’s the plan? Are we leaving this dimension now?”

To leave the dimension, they just had to go back to where they came from.

“Not yet. I don’t know where Dad hid Walk-in Heart Genesis yet. I’d also like answers to some questions for him.”

“You reckon we could take this copy back to the present?”

“Big Earthworm, what sort of question is that? Huh? What sort of question is that? You can’t take anything but knowledge and memories back. It’ll disappear by itself as soon as he leaves. Don’t you think Gui Ximing would’ve already pranced off with it if we could take it?”

Mu Yu patted Xiaoshuai’s head. “You done digesting the ghost qi?”

“Meh, it gave me an upset stomach. I’m never eating that stuff again.”

“What if we use Walk-in Heart Genesis’ energy to revive Dad?”

“He’ll die all over again. As I said, memories and knowledge only. For your information, not even your cultivation progress here will last once you return to the present.”

“That sucks, but I guess it’s only fair.”

Mu Yu piggybacked Ku Mu and picked up Walk-in Heart Genesis, which was surprisingly light.

***

Waking up to the first rays of sunlight, Ku Mu sprang to his feet, or so he tried. From his bed, he tried wriggling around to discover a small river next to him and a willow tree overhead. The next thing that came to mind was Walk-in Heart Genesis, so he was glad to see it next to him.

“I’m glad you’ve finally come to.”

Mu Yu hopped off a tree branch above the one Xiaoshuai was snoring on. Xiaoshuai fell off as a consequence of the bounce, yet not even that could wake him.

“I told you: I don’t trust you.”

Mu Yu picked Xiaoshuai up to stuff in his shirt. “I told you the incident with Goddess Yuyan was a misunderstanding.”

“Yeah right.”

“Isn’t my intervention last night enough to prove my character?”

“I didn’t need your help!”

Defeated and resigned to losing that debate, Mu Yu sat down on a rock and changed the topic. “How can I earn your trust?”

“You can’t.”

“My old man also likes to scold me.”

“The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Your old man can’t be any better than you are!”

The dragon vine relished the insult, while Mu Yu cleared his throat to cover his amusement. “Elder Ku Mu, I would not insult my old man if I were you. In a certain sense, you do not want to insult him.”

“Is that a threat?”

“No, no, it’s just… haha…”

With one hand gripping his injured chest, Ku Mu forced himself to his legs.

“You don’t need to thank me. I nursed your exterior wounds last night. You will need to rest for some time to undergo a full recovery, though.”

While tending to Ku Mu’s wounds last night, he learnt that his presumption that Ku Mu was a Body Synthesis Realm cultivator was a mistake. The reason Ku Mu’s cultivation regressed to Body Synthesis Realm when Mu Yu met him in the future was due to Walk-in Heart Genesis triggering an adverse effect inside his body through probing the poison already inside him.

“I won’t thank you.”

“Consider it me being nosy, then.”

Ku Mu breathed heavily just getting off the bed, and his legs crumbled underneath him after just two steps.

“That’s the consequence of being prideful,” teased Mu Yu, helping Ku Mu up.

Ku Mu shoved Mu Yu away. “I don’t need your help.”

“Fine, have it your way. Do you hate me so much? Don’t you want to know my secrets, such as why I know how to utilise poison and cast formations?”

“No.”
