Chapter 1464: The Origin of the Fragrant Incense Hall (Fourth Update)
The Ten Thousand Sacred Mountains were bustling with noise and excitement. When Qin Mu and Lan Yutian arrived, they heard Cripple bragging to Mute and Blind, recounting how he had charged in and out of the Heavenly Court seven times, completely undetected, as if entering an unguarded territory.
Blind rolled his eyes repeatedly, while Mute was left speechless, his mouth agape. Others like Xu Shenghua and Jiang Yunjian were full of admiration.
As Qin Mu approached, he saw Cripple standing in front of a massive eggshell. Inside the shell, there was still some primal fluid. Cripple, in an extremely generous manner, was distributing the primal fluid from the shell to everyone.
When Cripple caught sight of them arriving, he said happily, "Mu'er is back! Fatty Lan is back too! Little fatty, did you steal the Fragrant Incense Hall?"
Qin Mu hurried forward, but upon seeing the eggshell, his expression changed slightly, and he exclaimed, "Is this the other half of Heavenly Emperor Taichu's eggshell?"
Cripple puffed out his chest with pride, hands on his hips, and said, "I stole it! I used my unmatched speed and wasted countless treasures and several imperial corpses to retrieve this treasure!"
Qin Mu saw that everyone was holding pots, bowls, and basins beside the eggshell, and those vessels were filled with Taichu primal fluid. He stamped his foot and said, "You drank it?"
Granny Si quickly turned her head away, secretly wiping the corner of her mouth before turning back with a calm expression.
Seeing this, Hua Xuanxiu also secretly wiped the corner of her mouth, then poked the young patriarch in the ribs and whispered, "Wenyuan, there's still some egg fluid on the corner of your mouth..."
The young patriarch quickly wiped his mouth and asked, "Is there any more?"
Hua Xuanxiu carefully examined him, helped him wipe again, and then said, "It's gone."
The young patriarch relaxed.
Cripple said in surprise, "What else would you do with it but drink it? There's plenty of egg fluid in this shell; I can still give you some. It's especially fragrant..."
Qin Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Veins bulged on his forehead. "This is the egg fluid of Heavenly Emperor Taichu. He was born early and couldn't fully refine the fluid. Now that he has obtained the Taichu mineral vein, he has the ability to refine primal fluid. It's one thing for you to steal his eggshell, but why did you steal the egg fluid too? If he wants to achieve enlightenment, he must reclaim all the primal fluid, primal stones, and divine consciousness. Even the Creator race, including Grand Emperor and Gong Tianzun, must die once so he can reclaim their divine consciousness! How much did you drink?"
Jiang Yunjian, holding a washbasin, said, "This primal fluid smells fragrant, but it's tasteless when you drink it..."
Qin Mu glared at him fiercely and said angrily, "The Taichu Dao is the Primordial Qi and divine consciousness, born from chaos. Of course it has no taste!"
Jiang Yunjian lowered his head and dared not speak.
After all, Qin Mu was his adoptive father, and when he was away from home, Qin Mu had the authority to discipline him on behalf of his parents.
Everyone looked at Qin Mu with pleading eyes, clearly all having drunk the Taichu primal fluid.
Qin Mu paced back and forth, then suddenly sighed and said, "Forget it, forget it. Xiao Tianzun wants to destroy Grand Emperor and the Creators, so he will inevitably clash with us in the future. Since you've already drunk it, we'll just have to kill him!"
Everyone cheered. Lan Yutian rushed over, shouting, "Grandpa Cripple, give me a basin too!"
Qin Mu quickly said, "Don't drink too much! This kind of primal fluid needs to be refined with Taichu divine stones and Taichu primal stones! Otherwise, it will accumulate in your bodies and damage your physical bodies and primordial spirits, bringing no benefit at all! I speak from experience!"
Wei Suifeng shouted, "Junior brother, since you've gained experience from eating it, there's no need to share any with you!"
Lan Yutian said happily, "Xiao Tianzun has been exiled. We can take advantage of the Taichu mineral vein being unguarded to go there and steal the Taichu divine stones to refine the primal fluid!"
Everyone cheered again.
Qin Mu quickly said, "Xiao Tianzun's Heavenly Venerate treasure is guarding that place. We must not act rashly!"
Cripple said excitedly, "We've even been to the Heavenly Emperor's harem. Why should we be afraid of the Taichu mineral vein and a Heavenly Venerate treasure? Let's take the Glazed Blue Sky Canopy with us. Mute, you've been forging the Glazed Blue Sky Canopy all these years. Is it usable?"
Mute sneered, and Blind crossed his arms, snorting, "Of course it's usable!"
Qin Mu's face darkened. When they had tired themselves out, he went forward to look at the Taichu primal fluid in the eggshell. Although there wasn't much left, it could still fill a few water vats.
He put away the remaining primal fluid, thought for a moment, and called Jiang Yunjian over. "Yunjian, take this primal fluid and rush to the Land of No Sorrow immediately. Give it to Divine King Langhuan and tell her not to refine Grand Emperor's divine consciousness. Refining this primal fluid will help her improve her divine consciousness cultivation."
Jiang Yunjian quickly took the primal fluid and asked, "The Land of No Sorrow is currently sealed off. How can I enter?"
"First go to the Yuan Realm and head to the Peach Forest. There you will meet the maidservants of Moon Venerable. They will take you there."
Jiang Yunjian acknowledged the order and hurried off.
Qin Mu took out the piece of eggshell he had stolen earlier and compared it with the one Cripple had stolen. They fit together perfectly, and he couldn't help but smile.
"Xiao Tianzun Xiao Weisu, Heavenly Emperor Taichu, Grand Emperor Juyushi, I finally have a way to deal with you, and I finally have a way to rescue Ling Tianzun!"
He couldn't help but laugh out loud. The laughter grew louder and eventually turned into hearty laughter that echoed through the mountains.
"My junior brother's laughter really sounds like a sinister demon king whose scheme is about to succeed," Wei Suifeng said to Granny Si.
Granny Si immediately became alert and scolded, "Founding Patriarch, we are the Heavenly Sage Sect, not the Heavenly Demon Sect! You may be crooked at the top, but we at the bottom are not!"
Wei Suifeng fell silent.
Qin Mu put away the Taichu eggshell, finally relieved of one burden.
Lan Yutian took out the Fragrant Incense Hall. As the great hall appeared, countless seals densely covered the temple, sealing it airtight. Among them were ancient god seals, demigod seals, seals from various Emperor Throne-level powerhouses, and seals from the Ten Venerates!
The most dazzling among them was the seal of the Ancient God Heavenly Emperor.
Among so many seals, there were nearly two thousand types of ancient god seals, most of which they had never seen before!
Qin Mu even found Grand Emperor's seal among them!
Qin Mu's heart stirred. "This Fragrant Incense Hall is older than we imagined. It is not a building from the Longhan Heavenly Court era, but from the ancient era before Longhan!"
Lan Yutian asked curiously, "The ancient era? What did the ancient gods of that time use this great hall to suppress?"
Cripple knocked him on the head. Only the old men of the Crippled Village dared to hit this Venerable Yutian. "Of course, it was used to suppress you!"
Cripple said impatiently, "Your remnant soul was suppressed inside."
Yan'er said nervously, "And my mother's soul!"
Xu Shenghua's eyes flickered as he said, "Lan Yutian was suppressed in the early Longhan era, and the soul of Southern Emperor Zhuque was suppressed after the Battle of the South Pole. Neither of those was in the ancient era. So what was suppressed inside here is worth pondering... Could such a magnificent temple have been built in the ancient era?"
His question made everyone suddenly realize the implications, and they all began to examine the Fragrant Incense Hall.
This temple was majestic and magnificent, displaying an ancient and solemn beauty. Its architecture was exquisite, showcasing an extremely high level of artistic achievement.
Everyone started talking at once, discussing various opinions. Shu Jun raised his hand, wanting to interject, but he couldn't get a word in, sweating with anxiety.
"This great hall comes from Yujing City!" His divine consciousness erupted, and he suddenly shouted.
The surroundings fell silent. One by one, gazes focused sharply on him.
