Chapter 1025: The Grand Cosmic Star Chart
Qin Mu revealed a smile, and the muscles on his arms had also fully recovered in this short span of time.
Emperor Xuan glanced at him and said to the Sword Gods of the True Martial Sword Academy, "Since you have volunteered to stay here, then go to the Yuan Realm. But remember one thing: you are no longer Sword Gods of the North Pole Heaven, nor are you my descendants. First, you must not act under my name; you have been expelled from the North Emperor lineage. Second, you have no background and are not superior to others. Treat the weaker Yan Kang people with kindness. Understood?"
Qin Mu couldn't help but think more highly of Emperor Xuan. This instruction from Emperor Xuan was very timely. By not acting under Emperor Xuan's name, these True Martial Sword Gods would not attract the attention of the Heavenly Court, reducing many dangers. Even if they committed offenses, it would not implicate the North Pole Heaven.
Having no background and treating the Yan Kang people well would prevent conflicts with Yan Kang. If they considered themselves descendants of the North Emperor, discriminated against Yan Kang, and bullied the weak, it would instead bring disaster upon them. First and foremost, Qin Mu would not tolerate them.
If these two points were followed, this batch of True Martial Sword Gods could integrate into Yan Kang and become members of the Yan Kang Reformation.
Old ginger is spicier; Emperor Xuan saw through it clearly.
Those True Martial Sword Gods acknowledged the order.
Emperor Xuan revoked their surnames. The leading True Martial Sword God said to Qin Mu, "Heavenly Lord, we are now people without surnames. We beg the Heavenly Lord to grant us surnames."
Qin Mu pondered for a moment and said, "You attained the Dao through the sword forty thousand years ago and became gods through the sword. Now, because of the sword's path, you leave the North Pole Heaven and have your surnames taken away. Then take 'Sword' as your surname."
The leading True Martial Sword God revealed a smile and said, "Then I shall be called Sword Wuji."
"I am Sword Sansheng."
"I am Sword Yutang!"
...
Everyone laughed. Emperor Xuan couldn't help but say, "Heavenly Lord Mu, although my disciples are not lacking in skill, they have not experienced much of the world and do not know its dangers. I ask the Heavenly Lord to treat them well."
Qin Mu nodded solemnly: "Emperor Xuan, rest assured. My reputation in the Yuan Realm is excellent. I am known as the Conscience of Yan Kang. Whenever anyone mentions me, who doesn't give a thumbs up and praise me as an absolutely good person? I will definitely not mistreat them."
Emperor Xuan said, "Yes, yes. I have also inquired about the Heavenly Lord's conduct and character. It is universally praised." After saying this, he winked at Sword Wuji and whispered, "Be sharp-witted. Don't get sold and still count the money for them!"
Sword Wuji's heart tightened.
Qin Mu wrote a letter and handed it to Sword Wuji, saying, "You brothers go to Yan Kang in the Yuan Realm first. Take my letter and present it to Emperor Yan Xiu. She will make arrangements. Emperor Xuan, how about handing over those hundred Five Thunder Gourds to them first, to be taken to Yan Kang? What do you think?"
Emperor Xuan nodded and said, "Sword Wuji, after you retrieve the hundred Five Thunder Gourds, go to the True Martial Dao Academy and retrieve six volumes of the True Martial Dao Interpretations and the Fire Bell Divine Soldier Scroll, and take them to Yan Kang to present to Emperor Yan Xiu."
Sword Wuji accepted the order and led the group away.
Emperor Xuan watched them disappear into the distance and sighed, "Plucking feathers from a passing goose, Heavenly Lord Mu plucks ruthlessly enough. Now can the Heavenly Lord see my sincerity?"
Qin Mu bowed deeply to the ground and said solemnly, "Emperor Xuan does not despise me for my lowly strength and instead entrusts me with a heavy responsibility. Mu is extremely grateful."
Emperor Xuan quickly returned the bow and laughed, "Heavenly Lord, please don't be like this. The reason I value you is precisely because of the Yan Kang Calamity. During the Kaicheng Calamity, Kaicheng led the elite and abandoned his people to flee far away. But during the Yan Kang Calamity, you fought to the death, maneuvering among various forces to find a way to survive, and actually preserved Yan Kang. It is precisely because of your actions that I am willing to entrust them to you."
Qin Mu said sincerely, "Emperor Xuan entrusted me with a sincere heart, and I will surely repay you in the future."
Emperor Xuan laughed heartily and said, "I have already ordered a feast to be prepared. You and I are friends despite the age gap. We won't go home until we're drunk."
Qin Mu also laughed heartily: "I will gladly impose on you."
At the feast, Emperor Xuan and Qin Mu drank until they were completely drunk, arms around each other's shoulders, calling each other brothers. Long Qilin and Yan'er accompanied them on the side. Nearby were some high-ranking members of the Xuan Tian Palace, who muttered inwardly: "Emperor Xuan and Heavenly Lord Mu call each other brothers. If they encounter Kaicheng, how will the seniority be calculated?"
The host and guests were all delighted, but those accompanying them forced smiles.
Emperor Xuan saw Qin Mu off as he left the Xuan Tian Palace and said, "When you go to see the Witch Woman, you must be careful. The Witch Woman is not easy to talk to. She definitely knows you've arrived. You came to see me first, so she will surely harbor jealousy and make things difficult for you."
Qin Mu laughed and said, "Sister-in-law shouldn't be that kind of person. Emperor Xuan, old brother, I still have something to ask. The artifact of Imperial Lord Yu standing in the North Pole Heaven—which Heavenly Lord's weapon is it?"
"The weapon of Lady Qiang Tian."
Qin Mu nodded, committed it to memory, and then asked, "Dare I ask if the North Pole Heaven has a reverse side?"
Emperor Xuan's expression changed slightly, and he laughed, "Why does my virtuous brother ask about these things?"
Qin Mu did not answer and said, "I encountered the Creators in the Tai Xu and learned that the ancestral land of the Creators is called the Ancestral Court. Dare I ask Emperor Xuan, old brother, if you know the whereabouts of the Ancestral Court?"
Emperor Xuan's face darkened, and he said in a deep voice, "See the guest out!"
Qin Mu was startled, cupped his fists, and was about to leave when Emperor Xuan sighed and said, "It's not that I am being unfeeling, but the places the Heavenly Lord is inquiring about are too shocking and extraordinary. Heavenly Lord Mu, I know you have always liked to explore history, but some things are better left untouched."
Qin Mu nodded lightly, took Long Qilin and Yan'er, boarded the Heavenly Dragon Chariot, and headed toward the Wu Kingdom.
Emperor Xuan watched them disappear into the distance, his eyes flickering, and murmured, "The Ancestral Court of the Creators... we barely managed to seal that place. You must not unseal the dust-laden history..."
"Emperor Xuan still revealed quite a bit of information. The meaning in his words is that places like the Yuan Realm, Xuan Du, the Four Poles, and the Heavenly Court have no reverse side, and this is related to the Ancestral Court of the Creators."
Qin Mu sat on the chariot, gently tapping the armrest, as if speaking to Long Qilin and Yan'er, or as if talking to himself: "However, these places should not be the Ancestral Court, otherwise Queen Lang Wo would definitely be able to detect it. Yet the reverse sides of these places are related to the Ancestral Court—that's strange..."
Yan'er fed him the preserved fruit given by the Eastern Emperor. Qin Mu unconsciously opened his mouth to eat, muttering, "Whether it's the Four Poles Heaven, the Yuan Realm, or the Heavenly Court, none of them are small places. What connection is there between the disappearance of these places and the disappearance of the Ancestral Court?"
Long Qilin suddenly said, "Chief, do you remember the Great Ruins?"
Qin Mu was slightly startled. Long Qilin said, "Chief, didn't you once discover that at the source of the Surging River in the Great Ruins, there were four or five layers of space stacked together? Later, when the Yuan Realm was unsealed, these stacked spaces unfolded and became the Yuan Realm of today. Is it possible that the method used to seal the Yuan Realm is similar to the method used to seal the Ancestral Court?"
Qin Mu thought for a moment and said, "Long Fatty, continue."
Yan'er jumped beside Long Qilin, fed him the preserved fruit from the Eastern Pole Heaven, and showed an encouraging expression.
Long Qilin continued, "Is it possible that the reverse sides of the Four Poles Heaven, the Heavenly Court, the Yuan Realm, Xuan Du, and You Du still exist, but the ancient gods used immense divine power to stack these reverse sides together, forming a three-dimensional spatial seal similar to the one sealing the Ark of the Other Shore, locking the Ancestral Court inside?"
Qin Mu's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands in praise, saying, "Long Fatty, you truly have great wisdom!"
Long Qilin puffed up with pride, eating the preserved fruit Yan'er brought. Yan'er was meticulous, even stuffing spirit pills into the preserved fruit, which moved him greatly.
Qin Mu stood up, clapped his hands in praise, and said, "Indeed, this is possible! Divine abilities all come from the same lineage. The divine abilities used to seal the Yuan Realm and the Ark of the Other Shore may not be the same as those used to seal the Ancestral Court, but there might be a transmission of divine abilities!"
He clasped his hands together and then spread them apart. Instantly, the layouts of the Long Han Heavenly Court, the Yuan Realm, You Du, Xuan Du, the Four Poles Heaven, and even the Tian Yin Realm and the Return to Void all appeared, forming an unfolded three-dimensional star chart of the grand cosmos!
The Yuan Realm was at the center, You Du overlapped with the Yuan Realm and connected to the Four Poles. Xuan Du sat high above the Yuan Realm. Qin Mu looked at the Four Poles Heaven, pondered for a moment, and said, "The Heavenly River connects the Four Poles Heaven and the Heavenly Court, but they are not on the same plane. As for the Return to Void, it is not in the Yuan Realm either, but in another space-time dimension. When I found the Return to Void, I relied on the spatial calculations left by Senior Brother Wei Suifeng. His spatial calculations recorded another spatial dimension..."
He walked around the grand cosmic star chart, his gaze fixed on it, continuously calculating.
Suddenly, he reached out his hand and gently pulled the star chart downward. A funnel-shaped Return to Void Abyss appeared beneath the Yuan Realm.
Qin Mu's eyes flickered, and he said softly, "You Du is not entirely overlapping with the Yuan Realm either. On the contrary, You Du also connects to the Four Poles Heaven and various other heavens. The only place it does not connect to is Xuan Du. That is to say, Xuan Du and You Du are clasped together, forming a great circle!"
He expanded the territory of You Du. With a thought, his primordial energy transformed into a Tu Bo. Tu Bo stood in You Du, his body vast, with the Yellow Spring above his head.
Qin Mu frowned, looking at the continent beneath Tu Bo's feet. He saw that this land actually overlapped with the Return to Void Abyss.
He was stunned for a moment.
"According to legend, the Heavenly River flows into the Return to Void Abyss. But the legend never said that the Return to Void Abyss is beneath Tu Bo's feet, nor did it say that the Heavenly River passes through You Du. However, what if the Heavenly River does pass through You Du?"
Qin Mu's eyes grew brighter and brighter. He adjusted the Heavenly River, leading its waters to pierce through both the Yuan Realm and You Du. These two realms overlapped in space. The Heavenly River did not need to pass through the continent of the Yuan Realm to reach You Du; instead, it entered another space.
The Heavenly River transformed into the Styx River, vast and mighty, flowing around Tu Bo's magnificent body.
Qin Mu was stunned, looking at Tu Bo's hand, unable to speak.
Tu Bo's weapon was a whip. He had once seen Tu Bo use this whip to tie up Tian Shu. And when the Heavenly River transformed into the Styx River and flowed into You Du, it precisely passed through Tu Bo's hand!
The Styx River was the whip in Tu Bo's hand!
"No wonder every time I go to You Du, I always feel that something is missing from Tu Bo's body. It turns out to be the Styx Whip!"
Qin Mu steadied himself and adjusted the Styx River, watching as it precisely flowed into the Return to Void.
"There is still something wrong!"
Qin Mu looked up, gazing at Xuan Du, and then at the Four Poles Heaven: "The height of the Four Poles Heaven is wrong! The Four Poles Heaven should be higher than the Yuan Realm and slightly lower than the Heavenly Court. And the Heavenly River should also flow through Xuan Du. But it does not pass through Xuan Du; instead, it flows through the Heavenly River, like a huge circular rope. The circle hangs down, descending into You Du..."
He calculated frantically. After a moment, he gently drew a line and laughed, "The waters of the Heavenly River come from the heavens, naturally from Xuan Du!"
In Xuan Du, a Heavenly River surged down, changing the original flow of the Heavenly River. It became a river flowing from the heavens into the North Pole Heaven, then from the North Pole Heaven through the West Pole Heaven, the South Pole Heaven, and the East Pole Heaven, and from the East Pole Heaven to the Heavenly Court.
After reaching the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly River descended from the heavens to the Yuan Realm. The Yuan Realm overlapped with You Du, so the Heavenly River transformed into the Styx River, pouring into You Du, finally reaching the Return to Void beneath Tu Bo's feet!
Qin Mu examined the grand cosmic star chart, pacing back and forth. According to the calculations of the grand cosmic star chart, the Four Poles Heaven should be upright relative to the Yuan Realm, perpendicular to it, and facing away from it.
He drew lines, connecting the various worlds, but could not bring all the lines to converge at a single point.
Qin Mu frowned deeply. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he murmured, "The original Long Han Heavenly Court was not in its current position but in the sky above the Yuan Realm. So, if I move the Heavenly Court downward..."
He moved the Heavenly Court in the star chart toward the Yuan Realm, suspending it above the Yuan Realm.
From outside the chariot came the voice of the Heavenly Dragon, loudly announcing, "Heavenly Lord, the Wu Kingdom has arrived!"
Qin Mu was oblivious, slowly adjusting the position of the Heavenly Court. Suddenly, his mind shook violently. All the lines finally intertwined, forming a spot of light!
Qin Mu wept with joy, unable to hold back his tears, and murmured, "Here, here is the Ancestral Court, the location of the Creators' Ancestral Court! Learning mathematics well truly has great use!"
