921 Reform of the Celestial Heavens (2/2)

By combining the Celestial River Divine Treasure with the other divine treasures, the vital qi would only circulate in one large divine treasure, which would cut out a lot of unnecessary steps, making it simpler.

At the same time, the activation of divine arts would be faster than if one used the traditional seven divine treasures, which would raise the battle power of divine arts practitioners to a frightening level!

After all, they were brilliant youths on the Splendid Youths List and Divine Talents List with extraordinary gifts and intelligence, which allowed them to recognize the enormous potential hidden within the Celestial River Divine Treasure.

Qin Mu continued, ”After one cultivates to the Celestial Palace Realm and becomes a god, the importance of the seven divine treasures cultivated by divine arts practitioners becomes minimal. They essentially become appendages of the Celestial Palace Realm. In the case of the Celestial River Divine Treasure, however, the power of the celestial palace can accommodate that of the divine treasure and bolster its power. The magic power of the user will also be denser than if cultivated traditionally, which is of great benefit to gods as well!”

The lady with the bird head suddenly interrupted him, asking, ”Celestial Venerable, for all the praises you sang about the Celestial River Divine Treasure, why then has the celestial heavens not thought about replacing the Divine Bridge Divine Treasure with the Celestial River Divine Treasure?”

Qin Mu looked at her and revealed the doubt within him on his face.

The lady continued, ”I am Que Jingxue of the Splendid Youths List, the disciple of Tai Lao.”

”Tai Lao?”

Qin Mu had never heard of this god and laughed. ”Which one of the gods of the celestial heavens would care about the divine treasure after cultivating to the Celestial Palace Realm? It's a mere stepping stone to success. What they care more about is the Celestial Heavens Realm. Once they heard about the Celestial Heavens Realm, all of their thoughts focused on it. As for divine arts practitioners like you, do you lot dare to question your divine masters? Do you lot dare to question the divine treasure cultivation technique they inherited? If any doubts were to be expressed, then there would be a possibility to open the Celestial River Divine Treasure.”

The masses were stunned before recalling their cultivation process.

As the celestial heavens' most outstanding talented youths, they had never thought of getting rid of the Divine Bridge Divine Treasure. Their greatest innovations were probably a couple of divine arts of their own creation.

To them, every fixed realm was a law that shouldn't be questioned at all.

Qin Mu remarked, ”It's different in the lower bound. Down there, many people's Divine Bridge Divine Treasure was shattered. Hence, countless people researched how to modify the divine treasure, how to breakthrough using current knowledge. It's Eternal Peace's reform and their refusal to follow the ways of the ancestors and refusal to worship the ancient gods, the celestial heavens, and the Celestial Venerables that allowed them to reform and possess the Celestial River Divine Treasure.”

After the masses heard the word ”reform”, they couldn't help but feel a chill down their spines.

Suddenly, a youth rose and trembling with a hoarse voice, saying, ”I shall listen no more! Forgive me for being timid, Celestial Venerable, I shall take my leave first!”

Qin Mu asked with concern, ”Do you not want to know how to open the Celestial River Divine Treasure?”

”I want to!”

That person's laughter resembled a cry as he protested, ”However, I don't dare to listen! I'm afraid that if I listened to your Celestial River Divine Treasure, I would die mysteriously!” He turned around and left hastily.

Another couple of people also rose and left.

Others wanted to leave as well, but the Celestial River Divine Treasure was simply too tempting, which made them hesitate.

Qi Jiuyi's eyes lit up as he rose and said, ”I'll escort them out.”

Qin Mu smiled as he continued to lecture on how to open the Celestial River Divine Treasure. ”The Celestial River Divine Treasure secretly contains the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, but the human body can only contain seven divine treasures at best. This necessitates the scraping of the divine bridge. I have pioneered a couple of techniques to understand the power of the celestial river. After scrapping the divine bridge, one can go to the side of the celestial river to utilize my magical power and understand its power.”

Qin Mu explained the few techniques to understand the celestial river, sowing doubt in many of the younglings in the Slow Winding Pavilion. Although they memorized the technique to understand the celestial river, they dared not try it.

Yun Jianli laughingly said, ”Well, then allow a person that's about to die like me try to open the Celestial River Divine Treasure.”

Que Jingxue found it hard to believe and suppressed the noise before saying, ”Prince Yun, are you sure that you're willing to abandon the Divine Bridge Divine Treasure that your ancestor Celestial Venerable Yun opened? Won't you be betraying Celestial Venerable Yun?”

Yun Jianli shook his head, rebutting, ”He wouldn't be so narrow-minded. I think that if he saw Celestial Venerable Mu's Celestial River Divine Treasure, he would cheer in joy and willingly scrap his own Divine Bridge Divine Treasure too.”

Que Jingxue whispered, ”This is a reform! You must think carefully, reforming constitutes rebelling!”

Yun Jianli laughed it off. ”What fear does a person about to die have?”

The Celestial River had tributaries that flowed into the Jade Pool, which made the celestial river's power quite dense here too. He immediately tried to utilize the technique of understanding imparted by Qin Mu.

He was exceptionally gifted, even more so than the generations of human emperors. Thus, he was able to swiftly grasp the trick and pull the power of the celestial river.

All that was seen was that there was a celestial river that gradually formed around him, growing in length. Yun Jianli accumulated power and waited for the opportune moment to achieve his breakthrough.

As time passed, everyone looked at him nervously.

If Yun Jianli could open the Celestial River Divine Treasure, it would mean that the path that Qin Mu pointed out was viable.

Soon, the celestial river that orbited Yun Jianli rushed into his body. Accompanying it was a deafening sound. Yun Jianli's body shook as a curious rhythm emanated from his body.

It was a type of Dao sound, whose rhythm resembled the changing tides of the bursting celestial river. It crossed through worlds, from the celestial heavens' celestial palace to the human world, before heading to the Ruins of End and Youdu.

Such a mesmerizing rhythm made people indulge in it uncontrollably.

Yun Jianli was both surprised and pleased as he obsessively inspected his own divine treasure. The water from the celestial river soon drained from the celestial palace and pierced through all of his divine treasures, flowing into Youdu to form one large cycle.

”Do we have to cultivate the Celestial River Divine Treasure too?” Que Jingxue mumbled.

Others were excited to try, but deep worries within them prevented them from doing so.

Qin Mu said with deep meaning, ”Everyone here has a choice on whether to cultivate the Celestial River Divine Treasure or not. However, if one day, the celestial heavens were to declare war on the lower bound, you lot will die at the hands of the lower bound. You lot here can cultivate the Celestial River Divine Treasure too, but the people who desire your lives will become your divine masters or other gods instead.”

Que Jingxue felt a chill before she laughed. ”Don't try to scare us, Celestial Venerable. Our masters can reopen the Celestial River Divine Treasure too!”

”Them opening the Celestial River Divine Treasure?”

Qin Mu laughed heartily. ”They would have to change their own techniques from the Spirit Embryo Divine Treasure. If they happen to fail, they would have to restart via reincarnation, which would require them to give up their current statuses and even lives! The reason that the celestial heavens want to eradicate the lower bound is that they don't want to change at all.”
