947 The Imprint of Celestial Venerable Huo (1/2)
Ahead were the palaces of the masters of creation, a magnificent group of buildings. Looking at it from afar, the first thing one saw was its large tall walls that lay parallel against the cliff wall. It was extremely steep and smooth, with no gaps in the bricks at all.
The wall gave off an awe-inspiring feel before they could get closer.
This wall was as smooth and reflective as a mirror. Standing in front of it, they could see themselves and the scenery behind them!
The buildings in the city were even taller than the wall. Beside the wall lay buildings like palaces and towers, as well as defensive buildings like sentry towers.
Qin Mu and Luo Wushuang approached the city to size up its tall buildings.
This city of the masters of creation was too big. Compared to it, they were little figures.
The wall's smoothness was near impossible to create. Even the artisans of the celestial heavens and Eternal Peace wouldn't be able to achieve such a feat.
Their artisans could polish such a smooth reflective surface, but to create such a large wall and keep it so flat would be impossible for them.
Regardless of how good their algebra was, there would be tiny flaws in the construction process, but this wall had no flaws!
The wall of the masters of creation could only be created via visualization, not construction.
”Why aren't the buildings here decorated?”
Luo Wushuang gazed into the horizon and saw that all of the buildings were plain with no decorations at all. He couldn't help but wonder why. ”Isn't it plain to have buildings entirely made out of white walls and red bricks?”
Qin Mu explained, ”The masters of creation were like this. They were very outdated too. Their society was somewhere between tribal chiefdoms and a country, and it contained little art. They were like a bunch of primitives.”
Shu Jun's angry voice appeared in his head. ”You're the primitives! Country bumpkins like you are the primitives! We are masters of creation. Omnipotent masters of creation who created everything in the world. To us, you are the country bumpkins!”
Qin Mu walked towards the city and said, ”Their lives were simple. Their tribal wars consisted of people wearing beast skin shorts armed with bone clubs rushing at each other, striking at each other's brains.”
Shu Jun's voice trembled in anger. ”B*stard, don't you dare insult us…”
”After they learned visualization and became masters of creation, they learned how to visualize beautiful ladies for pleasure,” Qin Mu continued.
Luo Wushuang couldn't help but comment, ”Such primitives.”
Shu Jun was furious.
Qin Mu suddenly stopped. Luo Wushuang was perplexed and looked at him curiously.
”Wrong, wrong!”
Qin Mu looked up at the walls, visibly perplexed as he said, ”This is the world created by the masters of creation. They created everything here, with no enemies. So, why did they built a city with such high walls? What made them so afraid…”
Luo Wushuang saw the link. The walls were used for defense, and such walls were clearly built to prevent exterior things from entering!
Thus, what were they worried about?
They were the creators of the Great Void, so what was it that made them feel fear?
”The walls are clean. There are no signs of battle.”
Luo Wushuang said, ”I feel that you may be overthinking things. Maybe they built the walls for show. Maybe they were narcissistic to the point of looking in the mirror all the time.”
Qin Mu shook his head and retrieved a sword to scrape the wall. A sword trace appeared before it disappeared very quickly. The wall became complete, flat, and reflective again.
Luo Wushuang's heart jumped, and he said seriously, ”This wall reminds me of a Celestial Venerable who was rumored to have created a divine art that allows a substance to never change.”
”This isn't a substance created by the unchanging divine art, it's a substance created by consciousness, a visualized substance.”
Qin Mu said, ”This city is shrouded in the consciousness of the masters of creation, which makes it indestructible. Even if it's shattered, it will rebuild itself. On top of that, there are the sentry towers. The masters of creation had a chaotic combat style, which rarely used things like sentry towers. On top of that, the palaces and buildings here are high because they were built to see into the distance and observe whether enemies would strike.”
He revealed his doubt. This was a world created by the masters of creation, so why would they create powerful enemies for themselves?
That being the case, where did their enemies come from?
Was it invaders from the celestial heavens like them?
Or was it that there really were terrifying monsters in the Great Void?
He couldn't help but recall the scene he saw in the consciousnesses of the walking corpses. 'Could it be the master of creation that plunged the Great Void in danger?'
Luo Wushuang pulled the core of the Primordial Tree out from between his eyebrows. After, his primordial spirit left his body, flew into the air, and looked into the city to survey it.
”There's no one inside… Celestial Venerable Huo!”
He recalled his primordial spirit, visibly surprised and shocked. He put the core of the Primordial Tree back into the heart of his brows and quickly said, ”I saw Celestial Venerable Huo!”
”Celestial Venerable Huo!”
They looked at one another and instantly flew into the air before slowly descending into the city.
Luo Wushuang quickly walked forward. He only saw blazing divine flames in front of him that melted the void around them. A man stood inside the flames, twisting the space. His silhouette was blurred.
However, judging from the ring of flame behind his head, he was the celestial heavens' Celestial Venerable Huo!
Luo Wushuang walked behind him and half-kneeled, saying, ”Spirit Elite Guards' Luo Wushuang hereby pays his respects to Celestial Venerable Huo! Celestial Venerable Huo, Celestial Venerable Mu led me here to receive you!”
Qin Mu walked beside him. Before continuing to walk, he said, ”Divine Knife Luo, this isn't Celestial Venerable Huo, it's a void imprint of him.”
Luo Wushuang was stunned. He stood up and followed Qin Mu to the front of this Celestial Venerable Huo and sized him up carefully. He was able to find the Great Dao rune that created this apparition, it was just that it was extremely small.
This Celestial Venerable Huo was merely his Great Dao imprint!
Celestial Venerable Huo was truly too powerful. He fought people here, and his terrifying cultivation and Great Dao imprinted his figure in the void of the city, unable to be erased!
Celestial Venerable Huo must have met an unprecedentedly strong enemy here that forced him to use his techniques and divine arts to their limits. His Great Dao rune was so strong that it imprinted him in the void, forming his figure.
Even after it left, the apparition didn't disappear.
Qin Mu looked in the direction of Celestial Venerable Huo's gaze and thought about it. He walked to the opposite side of Celestial Venerable Huo and stood steadily before pointing out, ”His opponent stood here. Considering Celestial Venerable Huo's strength, his opponent must not have been weak, likely being as strong as him. Strangely though, why didn't his opponent leave behind an imprint of his figure?”
Luo Wushuang said, ”Overlord Body Qin, you're looking down on the Celestial Venerables. Outside of you, which one of them isn't so strong as to be unable to find a worthy opponent? Celestial Venerable Huo's opponent naturally wasn't as strong as him and thus didn't leave behind an imprint.”
Qin Mu shook his head. ”If his opponent wasn't strong enough, why would he be so defensive as to raise his cultivation power to its limit?”
Luo Wushuang was stunned, for it made sense.
It was just that Celestial Venerable Huo was so powerful, so where in the world could he have found an opponent of similar strength?
