Chapter 802: The Great Unification Divine Treasury
Qin Mu emptied his mind, using his own primal energy to sense the power of heaven and earth, gathering the power of heaven and earth to open the Heavenly River Divine Treasury.
This was a technique he had learned from the Heavenly Venerate Yu. The most difficult part of opening the Heavenly River Divine Treasury was how to open this divine treasury within the Heavenly Palace.
Relying solely on one's own strength was impossible. Even someone as powerful as Qin Mu did not have such abundant primal energy. Others who had cultivated to the Life and Death realm could not even dream of it.
Only the power of heaven and earth could create things in the void, forging a Heavenly River that pierced through the Heavenly Palace and all divine treasuries!
Individual power was limited, but the power of heaven and earth was unimaginably vast. For example, before the Heavenly Venerate Yu opened the Spirit Embryo Divine Treasury, he had no cultivation realm and his primal energy was shallow; he could only be considered a martial artist.
However, by mobilizing the power of heaven and earth, the Heavenly Venerate Yu could create the Spirit Embryo Divine Treasury from nothing within his own body, build the Spirit Platform, and refine the Spirit Embryo.
If one relied purely on cultivation, one's personal strength would need to reach at least the Heavenly Being realm, and one's art of creation would also need to reach its peak to achieve this step, and even then, success was not guaranteed.
The power of heaven and earth that Qin Mu mobilized grew greater and greater, and his aura became more and more terrifying. Above the mansion, a vortex spun wildly, and beneath everyone's feet, a huge dark vortex was still expanding.
The group studying the blessings of the gods behind the Heavenly Venerate Yu's head had long grown accustomed to the things happening to Qin Mu these days, but they found this time to be different.
Previously, Qin Mu had often borrowed the power of heaven and earth to open various divine treasuries. They had been shocked a few times, but later gradually got used to it, at most cursing him as a freak.
But this time, the vortex expanded much faster than before, already exceeding the mansion, extending into the streets, and covering several other neighborhoods.
The capital's guards were alarmed and sent officers and soldiers to investigate, thinking that some ancient demon was lurking in the capital, stirring up trouble.
Emperor Yanfeng sent them back, saying, "It is Qin Mu, Minister Qin."
Those officers and soldiers suddenly understood and withdrew, ordering the demon-subduing troops to retreat, saying, "It's that old demon, Sect Leader Qin."
The dark vortex on the ground was still expanding rapidly, gradually covering even the Imperial Academy, and even invading most of the Imperial City, causing panic in the capital.
People walked on the darkness, afraid they might fall through, but they did not, which slightly reassured them.
Children playing in the street saw the darkness spreading under their feet and immediately cried out in fear. Mothers rushed over, grabbed their children, and flew into their houses, slamming the doors shut and bolting them.
From many houses in the capital came the faint sounds of children crying, along with parents' voices: "Cry again, and the green-faced, fanged great demon will jump out and take you away!"
The vortex above the capital was not as terrifying; it was composed of various colored lights and was also expanding wildly, with lightning and thunder within.
Finally, these two huge vortices sandwiched the entire capital between them. A great wind raged over the capital, and lightning struck like rain, all heading towards Qin Mu's courtyard.
At that moment, the two great vortices trembled violently. A pitch-black pillar of light surged from the earth, and an extremely bright pillar of light descended from the sky, crashing together with a thunderous roar!
The two great vortices spun wildly, the pillars of light growing more intense, the black becoming blacker, the bright becoming brighter!
At the center where the two pillars of light struck, Qin Mu gathered the power of heaven and earth into his body, channeling it into his brow. His hands changed in a thousand ways, forming various hand seals. Then, suddenly, multiple arms grew from behind him, also frantically forming seals, opening the Heavenly River within his body.
Suddenly, he paused slightly, sensing a strange power from afar.
This power seemed to be the true power of the Heavenly River, vast and profound, surging endlessly.
Qin Mu's heart stirred. This power came from the south, likely from the direction of the Yong River.
"Could the Yong River really be the Heavenly River?"
As he formed seals, he carefully sensed the source of this power. His divine consciousness traveled upstream, following this force all the way forward.
His divine consciousness was incredibly powerful, precisely because he had inherited the legacy of the Red Emperor, cultivating the Indestructible Divine Consciousness, which was extremely resilient and could extend to very distant places.
Back then, the Red Emperor died in the Red Ming Floating Realm, but his thoughts were indestructible. Part of his divine consciousness even scattered across the universe, sensed by the Bright Emperor, who then found the Red Ming Floating Realm. This shows the formidable nature of the Indestructible Divine Consciousness.
Soon, Qin Mu's divine consciousness flew over countless miles and saw a great river surging and rolling violently. From the water's momentum and geography, it was the Yong River.
"The Yong River is the Heavenly River. Those who open the Heavenly River Divine Treasury after me will find it much easier."
Qin Mu was overjoyed. Although he felt the Heavenly River Divine Treasury was the best seventh divine treasury, simply relying on mobilizing the power of heaven and earth to open it would eliminate the vast majority of cultivators. Those who could open the Heavenly River Divine Treasury would likely be very few.
"Fortunately, the Yong River is the Heavenly River. They can come directly to the Yong River and use the power of the Heavenly River to shape their Heavenly River Divine Treasury, without needing to go through all this trouble like me."
Just as Qin Mu was about to withdraw his divine consciousness, he paused slightly. His Indestructible Divine Consciousness "saw" mist churning within the river.
Qin Mu immediately stopped his divine consciousness and "looked" into the distance, seeing a woman's figure moving within the mist.
The woman was simply dressed, with an ancient air: a leopard-skin skirt, a short jacket, straw sandals on her feet, and a peach wood hairpin casually stuck in her hair.
"Celestial Venerate Ling..."
Qin Mu was stunned. He immediately urged his Indestructible Divine Consciousness to chase after the woman on the river.
His divine consciousness entered the mist, flying swiftly. The woman in the mist on the river surface seemed to remain far away. No matter how fast his divine consciousness flew, it could never close any distance!
Qin Mu "saw" the mountains on both sides of the Yong River rise and fall, trees constantly withering and flourishing. He suddenly came to his senses.
The mountains rising and falling, the trees withering and flourishing—these were scenes from history. The Yong River itself remained unchanged, but the surroundings underwent great changes: some mountains sank underground, others rose from the earth.
Trees went from old age to youth, then became saplings, then seeds.
His divine consciousness was not flying; it had never moved at all.
This wondrous divine ability made him think of the technique Celestial Venerate Ling had envisioned, where matter is immutable and unchanging.
The scenery on both sides of the Yong River grew stranger and stranger. Many phantom images of gods and demons appeared continuously, transitioning from skeletons to corpses, from falling to standing and fighting.
Qin Mu "saw" the history of the Yong River's banks like a revolving lantern. His divine consciousness was nearly exhausted, and the scenery on the banks grew more and more ancient.
"Celestial Venerate Ling!"
His divine consciousness surged, trying to attract the attention of the woman in the mist.
But the woman in the mist still could not hear his voice.
The scenes on the Yong River's banks became even more ancient. Suddenly, a tall gate rose from the ruins, towering high.
It was a Southern Heavenly Gate.
Then he saw the Southern Heavenly Gate rise, and an incomparably magnificent Heavenly Palace also rose, higher and higher. The Yong River followed this Heavenly Palace, rising into the sky, its surging waters straight up to the nine heavens.
Qin Mu's divine consciousness reached its limit. He exerted all his strength to call out: "Celestial Venerate Ling——"
Suddenly, the mist dispersed, and the area ahead became clear. Qin Mu's divine consciousness was exhausted and dissipated into nothing.
In the instant his divine consciousness dissipated, he "saw" the woman standing on the surface of the Heavenly River seem to hear something. She turned around and looked in the direction of his divine consciousness, showing a surprised expression: "Celestial Venerate Mu? Is that you? Celestial Venerate Mu!"
Qin Mu's divine consciousness collapsed.
"So you are not in the Upper Emperor era. Wait for me to come find you——" Celestial Venerate Ling's voice came through.
Boom!
A rumbling sound echoed in Qin Mu's ears. He opened his eyes. He was still in his mansion in the Yan'kang capital. The power of heaven and earth surged in, shaping the Heavenly River that pierced through the Heavenly Palace and all the divine treasuries.
The Heavenly River had already taken shape, transitioning from virtual to real.
This divine treasury started from the Heavenly Palace, descended from the sky, passed through the Jianmu Divine Bridge, crossed the Star River, flowed through the Sun, Moon, and Seven Stars, like a white ribbon carrying vast waters, spiraling down around the Jianmu Divine Bridge. It passed behind the head of Qin Mu's primordial spirit, forming a great ring, then flowed into the Six Directions Continent, straight through the Life and Death Divine Treasury, and disappeared into the darkness.
As the power of heaven and earth was absorbed by him, the dark vortex beneath Qin Mu's feet gradually shrank, and the vortex of light in the sky also grew smaller.
After a moment, just as the two vortices disappeared, a surging sound like a tide came. Qin Mu immediately felt the Heavenly River Divine Treasury form a circulatory system within his body.
The Heavenly River that had disappeared into the Netherworld reappeared in the Heavenly Palace, cycling endlessly.
"I saw Celestial Venerate Ling on the Yong River!"
Qin Mu was lost in thought, his heart still unable to calm down. "I saw the Upper Emperor Heavenly Court! What was Celestial Venerate Ling doing in the Upper Emperor Heavenly Court?"
Thump!
A fist landed on Qin Mu's head, immediately raising a large bump. The Woodcutter Sage said discontentedly, "You brat, you scared all the children in the capital to tears, and you're still daydreaming? If you weren't my disciple and I didn't know you inside out, I would be subduing demons and eliminating evil myself!"
Qin Mu snapped back to reality. He saw himself surrounded on all sides. Several Heavenly Masters, successive Human Sovereigns, Granny Si, old and young Daoists and monks, were all gathered here. Emperor Shakti, the Buddha King, had also arrived, his face somewhat bruised. Di Yiyue and Tian Shu, the Heavenly King, had also come.
There was also a man draped in a dark cloak, who was the King Yan of Fengdu.
King Yan, Di Yiyue, Tian Shu, and the others must have arrived while he was opening the Heavenly River Divine Treasury.
Qin Mu was quite moved. He breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "I have not failed the mission. The twenty-sixth type of seventh divine treasury, I have finally opened it!"
"I'll shatter it!" The Old Farmer stepped forward, clenching his fist.
Qin Mu quickly said, "Wait!"
Swish, swish, swish!
Several hands pressed down on the Old Farmer's shoulders. Emperor Yanfeng, the Yan'kang National Teacher, Granny Si, the Butcher, and others were the first to grab him, but they were immediately sent flying.
Then the Woodcutter, the Fisherman, and others joined in, pressing him down, but they too were sent flying by the Old Farmer. Emperor Shakti, the Buddha King, also reached out, and a virtual image of Mount Sumeru with twenty heavens pressed directly onto the Old Farmer's forehead.
Tian Shu drew his blade and placed it on the Old Farmer's neck. Di Yiyue pressed a Netherworld Heavenly Gate onto the Old Farmer's back.
The Old Farmer sneered, "Don't say that you four Heavenly Kings haven't all arrived. Even if you all came and joined forces, you might not be able to take me down! We Four Heavenly Masters have never feared you Four Heavenly Kings!"
The Scholar gently fanned his feather fan and said with a smile, "Zhuocha, Mu'er said wait. Why are you so impatient to act?"
"Fine. I'll listen to Second Brother."
The Old Farmer said cheerfully, "I'll let him finish, then I'll shatter his divine treasury."
Qin Mu finally relaxed and said with a smile, "This Heavenly River Divine Treasury is the best divine treasury I have found, even better than the Divine Bridge Divine Treasury. It is the Great Unification Divine Treasury!"
