Chapter 1107: The Divine Artifact Four Emperors (First Update!)
Where the Lingxiao Hall should have stood, a colossal divine artifact towered. It consisted of eight giant circular rings interlocked, without bearings, using ingenious mechanisms so that when the eight rings operated, they could continuously imprint Creation runes onto the creation at the center of the rings.
On the eight rings were incredibly complex Creation runes. When they operated, the runes lit up, and the power of Creation would overflow from the eight rings.
From the structure of Jade Capital City, there were thousands of heavenly furnaces within the city. These furnaces used divine metal to pave pipelines, and the pipelines were covered with conduction runes, capable of transporting the energy from the heavenly furnaces to the eight rings.
To activate such a behemoth, all the heavenly furnaces in Jade Capital City needed to be ignited, consuming a tremendous amount!
"This is the Creation Divine Artifact designed and created by Ling Tianzun, and it was also the treasure used to create the physical body of Creation Jue Wuchen and the Divine Artifact Yu Tianzun."
Qin Mu gazed at the Creation Divine Artifact, thinking to himself, "After Yun Tianzun died, this artifact was sent to the Heavenly Court."
The greatest legacy of the Xiaohan Heavenly Court was this Creation Divine Artifact!
At that moment, in the Zao Fu Heavenly Palace's Jade Capital City, massive heavenly furnaces blazed fiercely, and the Creation Divine Artifact actually started!
Qin Mu's heart skipped a beat as he looked over, shocked and bewildered: "The Heavenly Court has activated the Creation Divine Artifact. What are they planning to create?"
The runes on the eight rings of the Creation Divine Artifact lit up one by one, the light from the illuminated runes growing brighter and brighter.
Qin Mu ordered Dragon Qilin and Yan'er to approach, and from a distance, they saw giant celestial laborers pulling a large cart. In the cart was a lump of flesh, like a mountain of meat.
"Chief, it's a Taisui!" Dragon Qilin exclaimed.
Qin Mu nodded. The Taisui was delivered by the cart near the Creation Divine Artifact. Several Daoists got off the cart, lifted the Taisui, and placed it at the center of the Creation Divine Artifact.
The Taisui was dazed, motionless and unaware.
At that moment, the eight rings began to rotate slowly, the light on the rings growing stronger and stronger. Rune after rune became extremely bright, shining their light onto the Taisui!
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
The rotation speed of the Creation Divine Artifact increased rapidly, and the speed of the rune light projection also accelerated. A stream of Creation runes struck the Taisui, and the Taisui began to change gradually, growing a head, growing hands and feet, growing a body!
Amidst the projection of countless runes, Qin Mu vaguely saw that some runes were not Creation runes but Ancient God Great Dao runes, carrying a dazzling red light.
The divine official delivering the decree reminded him, "Mu Tianzun, His Majesty is still waiting for us."
Qin Mu stared intently at this creation process, saying, "Wait a moment. That is... the Great Dao rune of Southern Emperor Vermilion Bird!"
Qin Mu was stunned, and the Taisui, transformed by the Creation runes, changed its form, gradually becoming somewhat similar to the Southern Emperor Vermilion Bird!
As time passed, the degree of similarity increased. Not only that, but the Ancient God Great Dao of the Southern Emperor Vermilion Bird was also imprinted onto this Creation body, causing the soon-to-be-formed Southern Emperor in the Creation Divine Artifact to grow stronger and stronger!
Vermilion Bird Sacred Flame radiated from that body, burning fiercely around this Creation Southern Emperor, turning the Creation Divine Artifact red-hot!
Qin Mu's mind shook violently. The Ten Heavenly Sovereigns were actually going to recreate a Southern Emperor Vermilion Bird!
However, they weren't truly recreating the Southern Emperor; they were forging a Divine Artifact Southern Emperor!
Why was the Heavenly Court recreating the Southern Emperor?
"Mother..." Yan'er murmured.
Dragon Qilin softly comforted her beside her.
Qin Mu composed himself and said in a deep voice, "Yan'er, Long Pi, let's head to Jade Capital City."
The carriage moved forward, but very slowly. Yan'er kept looking back, watching the Southern Emperor being shaped, knowing it wasn't real, yet she still found it hard to look away.
"Divine Official, what is the Zao Fu Heavenly Palace recreating the Southern Emperor for?" Qin Mu asked.
The divine official said, "How could a minor official like me know such things? However, I have heard a rumor that it's a weapon being made by the Heavenly Sovereigns. Not only the Southern Emperor, but also the Eastern Emperor, Western Emperor, and Northern Emperor are each being created. They say it's needed for attacking the Tai Xu."
Qin Mu glanced at him and smiled, "You know quite a bit."
The divine official smiled obsequiously, "Some days ago, the Heavenly Court attacked the Tai Xu, suffering losses. Before even finding the path to the Tai Xu, they had heavy casualties. His Majesty was furious and ordered the Ten Heavenly Sovereigns to conquer this rebellious land. Therefore, the Ten Heavenly Sovereigns ordered the Zao Fu Heavenly Palace to forge the Four Emperor Divine Artifacts, planning to use them to suppress the dangers of the Tai Xu. This is no secret in the Heavenly Court."
Qin Mu laughed heartily and handed him a bag of Heavenly Coins.
The divine official slipped the bag of Heavenly Coins into his sleeve and became much more at ease, smiling, "Recently, the path to the Tai Xu has been explored, but how to safely travel to the Tai Xu region, even the Ten Heavenly Sovereigns can't come up with a plan. Having every soldier in the Heavenly Court army cultivate the Non-Thinking Non-Non-Thinking is too troublesome, and not everyone can master it. Every time reinforcements are sent, more than half die before even reaching the Tai Xu region, and those who do arrive are broken and battered. So someone remembered the Yun Luo Emperor."
Qin Mu became interested and asked, "The Yun Luo Emperor?"
"This Yun Luo Emperor was a rebel."
The divine official said, "However, he had been to the Tai Xu in the past and had methods to counter the Tai Xu's strangeness. Unfortunately, when the Ten Heavenly Sovereigns summoned the Azure Emperor to inquire, the Azure Emperor said that, by order of the Heavenly Emperor, he had already drowned this Yun Luo Emperor in a river. The Ten Heavenly Sovereigns then ordered people to find the disciples and students of the Yun Luo Emperor. I don't know how that's going now."
Qin Mu remembered that he had indeed seen the divine ability of his senior brother, Wei Suifeng, in the Tai Xu. It was Wei Suifeng's divine ability that guided him to find the Tai Xu region.
Clearly, Wei Suifeng had his own unique methods to counter the Tai Xu's strangeness.
"Then does the Yun Luo Emperor have disciples?" Qin Mu inquired.
"Naturally, he does."
The divine official smiled, "The Yun Luo Emperor, as the Emperor in charge of the Yun Luo Heavenly Palace, guarded the Pillar One, Pillar Two, Pillar Three, and the Nine Provinces star systems. The Pillar One Ancient God, Pillar Two Ancient God, Pillar Three Ancient God, and the Nine Provinces Ancient God are all formidable characters, each with their own races and many experts. If he didn't have disciples and students, it would be difficult for him to contend with these Ancient Gods."
Qin Mu took out another bag of Heavenly Coins and said, "Can you get me a geographical map of the Yun Luo Heavenly Palace?"
The divine official silently pocketed it, his speed not inferior to that of Lame, and smiled, "When we reach the Lingxiao Hall, this minor official will procure a geographical map of the Yun Luo Heavenly Palace for the Heavenly Sovereign."
Qin Mu nodded slightly, "And how to get to the Yun Luo Heavenly Palace, I hope you will inform me."
The divine official hurriedly said, "The Heavenly Sovereign inquires; this minor official will naturally answer everything without reservation."
The carriage entered Jade Capital City and arrived before the Lingxiao Hall. Qin Mu and Gongsun Yan got off the carriage. The divine official quickly entered the hall to report. Gongsun Yan was still a bit nervous. Qin Mu smiled, "I will attach myself to you. Don't worry."
His divine consciousness entered Gongsun Yan's brow, lurking within her divine storage. It was then that he realized Gongsun Yan's power; her primal energy was as vast as the oceans of the Yuan Realm, boundless!
However, Gongsun Yan's strength was not in her divine storage or Heavenly Palace, but in her bloodline.
"Summon! Gongsun Yan enters the court for an audience!"
Gongsun Yan calmed herself and gracefully walked into the Lingxiao Hall.
