Chapter 1195: Reconstructing the Divine Treasures (First Update)
The Imperial Forest soldiers had transformed into energy bodies, where everything within them was energy without physical form. This was the most opportune moment to reconstruct their Divine Bridge Divine Treasures.
Thus, Qin Mu proceeded directly with the reconstruction.
However, this was also extremely perilous. Reconstructing another person’s Divine Treasure was something Qin Mu had never attempted before.
Based on his earlier experiments with converting Phoenix Feathers and Dragon Scales through mass-energy conversion, the failure rate was extremely high!
Those earlier failures only cost him Phoenix Feathers or Dragon Scales, but now, failure would cost the lives of the Imperial Forest soldiers!
Still, Qin Mu believed he had full confidence.
He had no confidence in reconstructing others’ Heavenly Palaces because Heavenly Palaces possessed different attributes, and different cultivation techniques resulted in different Heavenly Palace properties.
But the Heavenly River Divine Treasure was one of the earliest he had pioneered. Perhaps not as early as Xu Shenghua, but Qin Mu had made dozens of trial-and-error attempts to open the Heavenly River Divine Treasure. His understanding of the human body’s seventh Divine Treasure ran deeper than anyone else’s!
Reconstructing the seventh Divine Treasure of the Imperial Forest soldiers, he was highly confident.
Wei Suifeng was frantic with worry but dared not disturb him, watching as he painstakingly reshaped the Imperial Forest soldier’s physical body, primordial spirit, and even soul.
Before long, Qin Mu, using the principles of Yin and Yang transformation and the power of the Taiji Primordial Stone, actually managed to recreate this Imperial Forest soldier!
Qin Mu breathed a sigh of relief, and the others were overjoyed and encouraged.
“Junior brother, you absolutely must not reconstruct the Divine Treasures of the next Imperial Forest soldier!” Wei Suifeng suddenly said.
Qin Mu was surprised. “Senior brother, when these Imperial Forest soldiers return to the future, they definitely cannot go back to the Heavenly Court. They can only integrate into Yankang. Their cultivation techniques are too ancient, and opening the Heavenly Palace is extremely difficult—not everyone can do it.”
He smiled. “Among ten thousand cultivators, not one can destroy the Divine Bridge Divine Treasure and open the Heavenly River Divine Treasure! I’m taking this opportunity to reshape their seventh Divine Treasure. Their future achievements will be limitless!”
Wei Suifeng shook his head. “Junior brother, the soldiers under my command are not just one in ten thousand. One in a hundred million is an understatement. During the Dragon Han Era, the Nine Heavenly Venerables established the Divine Treasure and Heavenly Palace cultivation realms. Everyone had to open their own Divine Treasures and Heavenly Palaces; there was very little inheritance. Especially for the Ten Heavenly Court Guards, they all relied on their own abilities to open their Divine Treasures and Heavenly Palaces. It’s very dangerous for you to help them reshape their seventh Divine Treasure. Once they reach Yankang, they can destroy their Divine Bridge and open the Heavenly River themselves.”
Qin Mu’s eyes lit up as he stared fixedly at the fifty thousand Imperial Forest soldiers.
Over hundreds of thousands of years, the Dragon Han Heavenly Court had selected the Ten Heavenly Court Guards, each one the elite of the elite. Every Imperial Forest soldier had extremely high cultivation, basically all at the Jade Capital Realm!
And these fellows had all relied on their own abilities to open their Divine Treasures and Heavenly Palaces. Such talent—even in Yankang, it would be impossible to gather fifty thousand such individuals!
What monstrous, heaven-defying beings they were!
Of course, the Yankang Reformation had only been ongoing for a short time. Although various geniuses were emerging, the short duration and shallow foundation meant nothing was yet apparent.
“Senior brother, can you guarantee that every Imperial Forest soldier is loyal to you?” Qin Mu asked quietly.
Wei Suifeng said calmly, “I couldn’t guarantee it before, but after they were assimilated by the Ghost Ship, I’m certain they will no longer be loyal to the Heavenly Emperor. And since I was assimilated alongside them, accompanying them, in their hearts, I am their leader.”
Qin Mu smiled and continued converting the Imperial Forest soldiers one by one from energy bodies back into physical forms.
The more he did it, the more skilled he became. Soon, he had restored over a hundred Imperial Forest soldiers.
Qin Mu looked at Wei Suifeng, who understood and stepped forward. Although Feng Qiuyun and Dragon Bo King were currently docile, they might not be truly submissive. They needed powerful figures like Wei Suifeng and the Imperial Forest soldiers to intimidate them and keep them from making any rash moves.
Wei Suifeng was too powerful. Restoring him was far more difficult than restoring the others. Qin Mu expended great effort and energy before barely managing to bring him back from his energy state.
“Junior brother, you should restore yourself first. Your condition is very unstable. If you keep consuming energy like this without being able to cultivate and replenish your vitality, you’ll eventually exhaust your cultivation,” Wei Suifeng said.
Qin Mu nodded.
The energy body state was indeed extremely dangerous. The slightest misstep could cause an explosion. Moreover, activating the Taiji Primordial Stone consumed his own energy. If he couldn’t cultivate, he might indeed drain his energy and be unable to revive.
He rested for a moment before beginning to restore himself.
As the Taiji Primordial Stone was activated, Qin Mu suddenly had an idea, and his mind began to race. “Senior brother doesn’t want me to reconstruct his comrades, but I can reconstruct myself!”
His eyes lit up, and Wei Suifeng, seeing this, worried that the kid’s eyeballs might suddenly explode, sending his skull flying with a bang.
“Junior brother, please tone down the craziness.”
Wei Suifeng spoke earnestly. “I’m not worried about anyone else, only you. You’re always courting death, messing around recklessly.”
Qin Mu laughed. “Senior brother, rest assured. I know my limits.”
“Like hell you do!”
Wei Suifeng fumed. “When have you ever known your limits? You not only push others to the brink but also push yourself to the brink! Just restore yourself properly and stop messing around!”
Qin Mu nodded repeatedly, but his mind was churning. “My cultivation system is different from others. I only have the Spiritual Embryo Divine Treasure as one major realm, with the Heavenly Palace and Heavenly Court’s seven realms being just minor realms within it. In terms of realms, there’s little room for reconstruction. As for the Kai Emperor’s Dao Realm system, it requires personal insight, which can’t be cultivated through mass-energy conversion. What I can reconstruct now is, first of all, the Spiritual Embryo Divine Treasure.”
His eyes lit up again, making Wei Suifeng’s heart race.
“When I opened my Spiritual Embryo Divine Treasure, my understanding of Yin and Yang transformation was shallow, so there were significant shortcomings. This time, as I reshape my physical body and primordial spirit, I can try to integrate my insights into the Spiritual Embryo Divine Treasure. Beyond that, there’s the Supreme Simplicity Dao!”
Qin Mu thought to himself. “Supreme Simplicity is the beginning of substance. Form with substance, yet taking shape without becoming solid. Thus, it can change in countless ways. But my understanding of the Supreme Simplicity Dao is still shallow… What if I could integrate the egg fluid of the Supreme Simplicity Divine Egg into myself?”
He then shook his head, and his eyes dimmed.
Wei Suifeng breathed a sigh of relief, feeling slightly reassured.
“The Supreme Simplicity egg fluid can only be catalyzed by the Supreme Simplicity Divine Stone. If I forcibly integrate it, I’m afraid I’ll turn into a pool of egg fluid and be eaten by someone.”
Qin Mu had another idea. “The runes I deciphered from the Supreme Beginning Dao can also be added to this transformation! Oh, and the Dao runes on the Heavenly Emperor Tai Chu’s eggshell—although I don’t understand much, I can copy them down and imprint them into my Spiritual Embryo Divine Treasure. That much I can manage!”
He grew excited again, his eyes getting brighter and brighter, and Wei Suifeng grew worried once more.
Qin Mu paced around the Taiji Primordial Stone, thinking to himself. “I can also integrate the Supreme Change Chaos Eggshell into my Spiritual Embryo Divine Treasure, using these two half-eggshells as the foundation of my Spiritual Embryo Divine Treasure! Yes! I should build my Spiritual Embryo Divine Treasure according to the specifications of the Ancestral Court, not based on the current universe! I’ll take the Taiji Diagram as the midpoint and expand outward from there… No, take the Great Black Tree’s Ten Thousand Mountains as the midpoint!”
The more he thought, the more excited he became. Wei Suifeng quickly shouted to sober him up. “Junior brother, calm down! Your eyeballs are about to explode!”
Qin Mu quickly steadied himself and calmed his emotions, thinking to himself. “The Ten Thousand Black Mountains are that divine tree connecting the sixteen past universes. Perhaps I can recreate the divine tree in my Spiritual Embryo Divine Treasure based on the Great Black Tree! I can also use the Five Innate Dao to transform into the five great primordial mineral veins within my Spiritual Embryo Divine Treasure! Yes, that’s the plan!”
