Chapter 1163: Yuanmu Behind (First Update!)
Not long after, Qin Mu’s spirit recovered, and he was full of vitality. The various Heavenly Sovereigns were all startled inwardly: “His recovery ability is so fast! It’s many times faster than a normal god or demon!”
Qin Mu thought for a moment, then summoned Dragon Qilin and Yan’er, saying, “I also need to leave for a while and return to Yankang to find some gods to come and mine the divine ore, and to explore the Blackwood Mountains. You two stay here for now.”
Dragon Qilin and Yan’er were startled and shook their heads repeatedly.
Qin Mu smiled and said, “You don’t need to be afraid of the Void Beasts. I’ll leave the Glazed Azure Sky Canopy here. With this treasure in hand, you can rest easy. Pi can control this treasure no worse than I can. Besides, the mother Void Beast is dead. Even if a new mother Void Beast appears, it should take a few years to grow. Don’t worry.”
Dragon Qilin stammered, “These Blackwood Mountains are very eerie…”
Qin Mu laughed, “What’s so eerie? I’m leaving the Glazed Azure Sky Canopy with you. How can you still be afraid of eeriness? I’m off now!”
Dragon Qilin shivered, and suddenly Qin Mu’s voice transmission came through, saying, “After I leave here and return to Yankang, it will take some time. These Heavenly Sovereigns will definitely send their disciples back to the Heavenly Court. These people have ill intentions. You must be careful; they will surely come to seize the Glazed Azure Sky Canopy.”
His voice carried a murderous intent: “Even if the Heavenly King himself comes, kill him!”
Qin Mu withdrew his divine sense, looked at the eight Heavenly Sovereigns with a beaming smile, and laughed heartily, “Gentlemen, please!”
The Heavenly Sovereigns said politely, “Brother Mu, please.”
They walked out of the Blackwood Mountains, and Qin Mu immediately took out the altar. Everyone stood on the altar, and Qin Mu sensed from afar, trying to establish a connection with the altar left at the entrance to the Ancestral Court.
Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat.
That altar was no longer there!
The corner of Qin Mu’s eye twitched: “Could it be that my mental energy was too depleted just now, and my perception is weak?”
He focused his mind to sense again, but still couldn’t feel the altar!
A cold sweat broke out on the back of his neck. The altar was indeed no longer there.
“It might not be that the altar isn’t there, but that it was smashed! Even if someone took the altar away, I could still sense where it was. Only by smashing the altar and destroying the runes on it could I lose the ability to sense it!”
One cold sweat after another broke out on the back of his neck. A smile hung on Qin Mu’s face, but it slowly stiffened.
His ability to survive in the Ancestral Court relied on his power to take the eight Heavenly Sovereigns out of the Ancestral Court. Now that ability was gone. How could he save his life?
Qiang Tianfei coughed and said, “Brother Mu, when can we leave?”
The gazes of the other Heavenly Sovereigns also fell on Qin Mu’s face, showing doubt. Qin Mu laughed heartily, and everyone on the altar laughed along with him. Only Hao Tianzun and Ancestral God King had no expression on their faces and did not laugh.
Qin Mu’s hearty laughter gradually died down, and he said seriously, “We can’t leave. Someone outside has destroyed the altar.”
The smiles on everyone’s faces slowly faded. Langxuan Divine Emperor said flatly, “Brother Mu isn’t joking, is he?”
Qin Mu said seriously, “How would I dare to joke about this? The reason I could bring you in and take you out is the reason I could survive in the Ancestral Court. If I couldn’t send you out, wouldn’t that be risking my own life? That altar has indeed been destroyed. If my guess is correct, the person who destroyed it is the eleventh Heavenly Sovereign of the Heavenly Court.”
Hong Tianzun’s expression shifted slightly, and he said, “Ming Fangyu?”
Xiao Tianzun said, “Ming Fangyu is already dead. It absolutely couldn’t be him. His primordial spirit was taken away by Ling Tianzun, and his physical body was chopped to pieces by Qin Ye.”
The gazes of Qiang Tianfei, Langxuan Divine Emperor, Ancestral God King, and the others all fell on Qin Mu’s face. Gong Tianzun coughed and said, “Brother Mu, don’t keep us in suspense. Who exactly is the eleventh Heavenly Sovereign of the Heavenly Court?”
Qin Mu sighed and said, “Madam Yuanmu.”
On the altar, the bodies of the Heavenly Sovereigns trembled slightly, and each took a step back, watching each other warily.
They seemed very harmonious, joining forces to deal with the Ancient Gods, ruling the Heavenly Court together, sharing weal and woe.
But they also knew that although they were partners, they were also competitors.
The alliance between them was not unbreakable.
They had long suspected that the Imperial Emperor and the Heavenly Emperor were lurking among them, and perhaps even the Empress and Madam Yuanmu were lurking around them. These four Ancient Gods might even be among the Ten Heavenly Sovereigns!
If Madam Yuanmu was hiding among them, who could she be?
Pairs of eyes darted back and forth between Gong Tianzun, Yan Tianfei, and Qiang Tianfei, clearly more suspicious of these three female Heavenly Sovereigns.
Especially Qiang Tianfei and Yan Tianfei. The Empress and Madam Yuanmu were both consorts of the Heavenly Emperor, and Qiang Tianfei and Yan Tianfei were also nominally consorts of the Heavenly Emperor. This inevitably aroused their suspicion.
Qin Mu shook his head and said, “Madam Yuanmu is not among us. In fact, she isn’t among the Ten Heavenly Sovereigns either. Her status in the Heavenly Court should be lower than all of you. She didn’t enter the Ancestral Court, but she also came outside the Ancestral Court, destroyed our altar, and plans to trap us to death in the Ancestral Court.”
A silence fell over the altar.
After a long time, Yan Tianfei said, “If Madam Yuanmu seals us in the Ancestral Court, then she can deal with Fire Heavenly Sovereign and Void Heavenly Sovereign. They don’t know her identity, and it’s hard to guarantee they won’t fall victim to her schemes. At that time, I’m afraid it will return to the era of Ancient God rule.”
Xiao Tianzun sighed, “From the Longhan Era to the present, the achievements of countless martyrs will be wiped out.”
Qiang Tianfei said, “The only way now is to open the seal of the Ancestral Court so we can leave. But if we open the seal, the Void Beasts in the Ancestral Court will likely run out. What’s even more terrifying is the Imperial Emperor.”
Her face was full of murderous intent, and she said coldly, “The Imperial Emperor is definitely waiting for this opportunity to gather the Void Beasts and wreak havoc on the world! For the safety of all living beings, we should not open the Ancestral Court!”
Xiao Tianzun and Gong Tianzun glanced at her. Qiang Tianfei was righteous and awe-inspiring, looking around, and said, “Gentlemen, you should agree with my opinion, right?”
Ancestral God King, Langxuan Divine Emperor, and the others coughed and said, “That’s not necessarily true. While releasing some Void Beasts is certainly dangerous, the return of the Ancient Gods to orthodoxy is also extremely dangerous. Comparing the two harms, we should choose the lesser. Let’s discuss it further.”
Everyone looked at Hao Tianzun and said, “Hao Tianzun, you are the head of the Ten Heavenly Sovereigns. Say a few words. We’ll all listen to you.”
Hao Tianzun looked around and said calmly, “The Imperial Emperor has been hiding for a long time and hasn’t appeared for a long time. If we don’t lure him out, it will always be difficult to eliminate him. This is a good opportunity to lure out the Imperial Emperor.”
Everyone’s hearts stirred slightly, and they nodded one after another.
Hao Tianzun continued, “The Ancient Gods only have the Heavenly Duke and the Earth Lord left, these two tough nuts to crack. We care about the safety of all living beings and have struggled for a million years. Now that success is in sight, how can we let the Ancient Gods make a comeback because of the Void Beast incident?”
The Heavenly Sovereigns said politely, “Then what does Hao Tianzun mean?”
Hao Tianzun said, “Open the seal of the Ancestral Court, open it from the crack, and then we will re-impose a seal at the crack. With the strength of the eight of us Heavenly Sovereigns, sealing it shouldn’t be difficult, right?”
Everyone looked at Qiang Tianfei and said, “What does Lady Tianfei think?”
Qiang Tianfei’s face showed difficulty. After a moment, she sighed and said, “Now, we have no choice but to do this. But this time, we must do our utmost to re-impose the seal and give that treacherous Imperial Emperor no chance!”
Everyone said in unison, “Lady Tianfei has a compassionate heart and cares for all beings.”
