Chapter 951: Celestial Origin Three Seals
"The Grand Emperor Seal was left to me by Cloud Celestial. Besides the Grand Emperor Seal and that altar, the Dao Ancestor said that Cloud Celestial also left to Opening Emperor a volume of the geography of the Great Void."
Qin Mu looked up at the Grand Emperor Seal, whose power was growing stronger and stronger, and furrowed his brow slightly.
Judging from these items left by Cloud Celestial, as early as the Dragon Han Era, Cloud Celestial had already understood a great deal about the Great Void. His level of understanding of the Great Void even surpassed that of the current Ten Celestials.
There were rumors that Opening Emperor had built Carefree Haven within the Great Void, which was why it was so difficult to find. The Ten Celestials had repeatedly sent people deep into the Great Void to explore, their purpose also being to find Carefree Haven and eliminate the threat of Opening Emperor.
If Carefree Haven was truly in the Great Void, then the geography of the Great Void that Cloud Celestial left for Opening Emperor would have been a tremendous help in establishing Carefree Haven!
"Then why did Cloud Celestial's physical body appear between Grand Emperor's brows?"
Qin Mu's heart was filled with doubt and unease. Luo Wushuang and Yue Tingge were also deeply shocked, looking up at this square seal.
This precious seal could actually break through the suppression of the Supreme Divine Consciousness Domain, allowing them to escape the rules of this strange place. It was truly beyond belief.
However, Qin Mu and Shu Jun understood the reason clearly, because this Grand Emperor Seal was precisely Grand Emperor's own seal. In this place, the Grand Emperor Seal could mobilize Grand Emperor's power, thereby forming a relatively safe domain.
It wasn't that the Grand Emperor Seal broke through the Supreme Divine Consciousness Domain, but that Grand Emperor broke through it.
The power of the Grand Emperor Seal actually came from Grand Emperor.
Suddenly, Qin Mu suggested, "Heavenly Master Yue, Divine Blade Luo, since we have this precious seal, why don't we go there and explore the mysteries of this Supreme Divine Consciousness Domain?"
Luo Wushuang hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Alright, at the very least, we should rescue Fire Celestial."
Qin Mu looked at Yue Tingge, who was no longer insane, nor did his face look ferocious. Instead, he had the demeanor of a wise strategist. He nodded and said, "Since Celestial Qin has such a treasure, perhaps the secrets of this place can be unraveled. Celestial needs a protector for this journey, so I shall serve as Celestial's guardian."
Qin Mu blinked. Yue Tingge suddenly becoming so serious was something he really wasn't used to.
This Daoist was sometimes crazy, sometimes ferocious and fierce, and now clear-headed. It was truly hard to figure him out, never knowing when he would have another episode.
Yue Tingge made a deep bow to the ground, displaying the bearing of an accomplished master. He smiled and said, "Yue Tingge of the Dao Sect pays respects to Celestial Qin. Ever since I set foot in the Great Void, I have been in a daze. Only today have I managed to gain some clarity. I apologize for any embarrassment I may have caused Celestial along the way."
Luo Wushuang whispered, "Qin Overlord Body, this man cannot be trusted."
Qin Mu smiled. "We are all in the same boat now. Why can't he be trusted? Heavenly Master Yue is a wise man of the Heavenly Court. What do you think is the best way for us to explore this Supreme Divine Consciousness Domain?"
Yue Tingge pondered for a moment. His primal energy transformed into countless stars, forming a large circle a hundred zhang in diameter, slowly rotating. "Ahead is the core area of the Supreme Divine Consciousness Domain. Even Fire Celestial was trapped there and couldn't escape. I will use the stars as a clock. The stars revolve around the center, one full rotation being one day. I will leave the stars here. We will use this precious seal for protection and enter the Supreme Divine Consciousness Domain. If we see the stars' rotation speed increase, it means we are trapped by the Supreme Divine Consciousness Domain, and the seal cannot break through it. At that point, we must turn back as quickly as possible."
Qin Mu praised, "That's a clever method."
They immediately set off. Qin Mu used his divine consciousness to control the Grand Emperor Seal, which hovered high above their heads. The three of them and the dragon carefully crossed the abyss void, approaching the Lotus Continent.
Qin Mu looked back and saw the hundred-zhang-tall star ring standing on the cliff wall, rotating according to the star's scale.
It wasn't that the flow of time in the Supreme Divine Consciousness Domain was different from the outside world, but that the rate of material change was different. The divine consciousness here was too strong, causing matter to stop flowing. Even an existence like Fire Celestial was trapped.
Fortunately, they had the protection of the Grand Emperor Seal, allowing them to pass through this static spacetime.
They stepped onto the Lotus Continent and saw the roots extending from Grand Emperor's feet. They were incredibly thick and shocking. Grand Emperor's physical body was comparable to the Primeval Tree in size, just as massive. Those roots were embedded in the Lotus Continent, and the parts rising from underground formed mountain ranges.
The blood rivers on the ground were also astonishingly wide and long. There were many strange creatures in the blood rivers, likely terrifying species born from Grand Emperor's divine blood.
Fortunately, this was the Supreme Divine Consciousness Domain, and these creatures were all frozen by the domain, unable to move.
Qin Mu and the others flew over the mountaintops, looking around. The divine abilities of the Creators formed magnificent scenes here, truly dazzling. Flying through it, they felt like they were traveling in a land of giants, where everything was incredibly large.
"Don't touch anything here."
Qin Mu said in a deep voice, "Most things here are manifestations of divine consciousness. Be careful not to be invaded by the Creator's divine consciousness. If that happens, you might no longer be yourself."
Shu Jun snorted coldly. This was Qin Mu's lesson learned from experience, something he had picked up from him. Back then, he had almost possessed Qin Mu's physical body, but was blocked by that strange eye of Qin Mu's.
Although the Creators here were dead, their divine consciousness remained. The divine abilities of the Creators were bizarre, and it was possible that they could truly achieve resurrection through divine consciousness.
They gradually delved deeper into the Lotus Continent, getting closer and closer to Grand Emperor. Qin Mu, Yue Tingge, and the others frequently looked back at the star ring on the cliff, calculating its rotation speed.
The rotation rate of the star ring hadn't changed much, which put them somewhat at ease.
They were also getting closer and closer to Fire Celestial. Suddenly, Qin Mu's heart tightened as he saw the star ring's speed increase sharply!
Earlier, the star ring had been rotating at a rate of one full rotation per day. But now, in just a short moment, it had completed one full rotation!
They didn't feel anything unusual here; they felt their walking speed was normal. But if someone stood next to the star ring and watched them, they would see that their movement speed had become incredibly slow!
"The Supreme Divine Consciousness Domain here is extremely powerful, exceeding what the Grand Emperor Seal can withstand."
Yue Tingge also noticed the star ring's rotation speed increasing and quickly said, "We should turn back immediately. It's not too late to go back now!"
In the short time he spoke, the star ring had already rotated twice, meaning two days had passed outside the Supreme Divine Consciousness Domain!
Luo Wushuang looked at Qin Mu. Qin Mu's expression was uncertain. He looked into the distance at Grand Emperor's brow, where Cloud Celestial's physical body was located. It was clear that Fire Celestial had also noticed this, which was why he was determined to go there.
Qin Mu had no intention of rescuing Fire Celestial. The Fire Celestial of the past was simple, reckless, and upright. But after a million years, who could guarantee that the current Fire Celestial was still the same Fire Celestial from back then?
His goal was merely to get close to Cloud Celestial's physical body!
He planned to perform a soul-summoning for Cloud Celestial and ask about some past events.
However, if they continued forward, the Grand Emperor Seal would also be unable to withstand it, and they would likely be trapped here as well.
Just then, Shu Jun's voice rang in his mind. "Kid, the Grand Emperor Seal alone cannot resist the Supreme Divine Consciousness Domain. But with the altar added, it should be possible."
Qin Mu's heart stirred, and he immediately took out the altar.
But the moment he took out the altar, the star ring had already rotated over ten times. To them, it was just a short moment, but half a month had passed in the outside world!
Qin Mu's eyelids twitched. He took out the altar, his divine consciousness trembling slightly, and asked, "Shu Jun, what next?"
"Suspend the seal above the altar, use the Three Enclosures Supreme Consciousness to activate it, and mobilize Grand Emperor's Supreme Divine Consciousness!"
Shu Jun's tone was grave. He said in a deep voice, "But you must be careful."
Qin Mu was slightly startled. "Be careful of what?"
Shu Jun hesitated. In that brief moment of hesitation, the star ring rotated another ten times. From the time they had entered this place until now, over a month had passed!
"Be careful of what?" Qin Mu urged.
"Be careful of Grand Emperor."
Shu Jun no longer hesitated. "Do you all really think Grand Emperor is dead? I don't think so. Even I managed to survive, so Grand Emperor must have his own means of preserving himself. I don't know why the Creators of the Great Void wanted to deal with Grand Emperor, but Grand Emperor is the one who destroyed the Great Void. He appears dead now, but in reality, he is waiting to revive. If you use the altar to mobilize Grand Emperor's Supreme Divine Consciousness, he will definitely take the opportunity to seize your physical body and use it to resurrect himself!"
Qin Mu looked back. Another ten-plus days had passed.
The information Shu Jun had revealed was truly astonishing. He had once suspected that the person who destroyed the Great Void, causing the death of countless Creators, was Grand Emperor. But he hadn't seen the face of the one who destroyed the Great Void. Shu Jun had.
Shu Jun personally admitting that the person was Grand Emperor brought him deep shock.
"I will teach you a technique called the Celestial Origin Three Seals. But whether it can prevent Grand Emperor from destroying your divine consciousness, I am not so sure."
Shu Jun's divine consciousness surged, rapidly transmitting a divine consciousness formation technique into Qin Mu's mind. "I cultivate the Three Enclosures Supreme Consciousness, which was also a top-tier divine consciousness technique in the ancient era. But the strongest in the ancient era was Grand Emperor's Great Luo Supreme Divine Consciousness! Whether the Celestial Origin Three Seals can withstand his divine consciousness invasion, I dare not say for certain. You need to modify it, preferably integrating your own knowledge. You are very good at modifying my techniques."
Qin Mu quickly organized the Celestial Origin Three Seals technique he had received, using his own knowledge base to refine and perfect it. He fused it with the Triple Origin Indestructible Divine Consciousness and the ancient divine runes of the Heavenly Court Dao Sect.
While he was perfecting the Celestial Origin Three Seals, the star ring on the cliff rotated another one hundred and seventy times. Half a year had passed!
Cold sweat broke out on Qin Mu's forehead. He steadied himself and immediately activated the improved Celestial Origin Three Seals, forming three Celestial Origin seals within his third eye. The first Celestial Origin seal took the form of the Heavenly Duke, with white eyebrows and beard, hands clasped together like a funnel. The second Celestial Origin seal took the form of the Earth Lord, with an ox head and human body, also forming a funnel-shaped seal.
The third Celestial Origin seal took the form of the Heavenly Emperor, also a funnel-shaped seal.
Once the three seals were formed, Qin Mu acted decisively, activating the Three Enclosures Supreme Consciousness. His divine consciousness surged into the altar left by Cloud Celestial.
On the altar, the Grand Emperor Seal immediately blazed with brilliant light. Inside Grand Emperor ahead, divine consciousness churned like raging flames. Grand and magnificent rays of light, like the colorful wings of a phoenix, streamed in strips and strands toward the altar.
From the altar, a pillar of light shot up, rushing toward the Grand Emperor Seal.
Buzz—
The Grand Emperor Seal vibrated violently. A ring of pure white light spread out in all directions in a circle, followed by a second ray of light, then a third...
Rings of light spread out one after another, spreading flatly, suppressing the Supreme Divine Consciousness Domain.
Yue Tingge, Luo Wushuang, and the others quickly looked toward the star ring on the cliff and were overjoyed. "The star ring's rotation speed has returned to normal! Celestial Qin, your method works! Celestial Qin?"
Yue Tingge looked at Qin Mu and saw him frozen in place, his three eyes wide open, motionless. Veins bulged on his forehead, and sweat as big as beans rolled down like rain.
Yue Tingge and Luo Wushuang were startled, both realizing that Qin Mu's condition was abnormal.
"Something is trying to invade his brow!"
Yue Tingge, after all, was a being at the Great Perfection of the Imperial Throne. He immediately saw the crux of the matter and said in a deep voice, "One Hand, you and I will lend him a hand!"
Luo Wushuang snorted, displeased with the title "One Hand."
The two of them simultaneously activated their primal energy and mobilized their cultivation, attempting to rush into Qin Mu's brow.
Their magical power and divine consciousness surged into Qin Mu's brow, and they immediately saw a magnificent scene. A majestic Great Emperor stood in the vast, boundless spacetime, slaying the Heavenly Duke, smashing the stars to pieces, and charging toward the ox-headed, human-bodied Earth Lord!
The next moment, the Earth Lord's head was severed, and the Great Emperor tore him into two pieces!
Yue Tingge looked ahead and immediately saw the phantom of an ancient Heavenly Emperor with a vast physical body. That was the third seal. Behind this third seal was Qin Mu's Spirit Embryo Divine Treasury and his spirit embryo.
"Not good!"
Yue Tingge and Luo Wushuang immediately rushed toward Qin Mu's Spirit Embryo Divine Treasury. Their primal energy and divine consciousness surged mightily, arriving beside Qin Mu's spirit embryo. They stood on the left and right of the Taiji Diagram, looking up. They saw that the Heavenly Emperor seal was on the verge of collapse under the attack of that majestic Great Emperor!
—I have to go out again tomorrow. This month has been so tiring, always running around, disrupting my original plan for a burst of updates. Please vote for monthly tickets. I should be able to settle down in the last few days of the month and will definitely have a burst of updates!
