961 Extensive Divine Ar (1/2)

”Celestial Venerable Xu is dangerous?”

Qin Mu couldn't help but think about the meaning of Celestial Venerable Huo's words.

Was he referring to her as being dangerous or problematic?

'Celestial Venerable Huo is still so rushed that even his words lack clarity.'

Qin Mu shook his head. In the past, Celestial Venerable Huo had a fiery temper and once fought with Qin Mu over trivial things. Even after he was beaten up by Qin Mu, he still remained the same.

'However, he didn't attack me and even allowed me to take care of Celestial Venerable Yun's corporeal body. Was he one of the three Celestial Venerables that came out to protect me at the Jade Pool?'

Qin Mu sighed. He was planning to ask about the enemy who mastered the sword path that they saw traces of in the masters of creation's city. Was it Founding Emperor? Unfortunately, Celestial Venerable Huo left so hastily that he couldn't inquire about that.

If Founding Emperor was in the Great Void, it would mean that Carefree Village was here too.

They walked out of the supreme consciousness realm and saw a flame with no visible source in front of them. It was two to three feet tall and varied in size over time.

On the fire, there was a giant rope that drooped down from above. It was fastened to a cloud in the sky, and at the bottom of that rope was a trapped man. He was hanging on the fire, burned by it to the point that he screamed in agony.

Qin Mu and Luo Wushuang looked at that person, which turned out to be Heavenly Master Yue, Yue Tingge.

He saw the two of them and shouted for their help, ”Celestial Venerable Mu, Friend Luo. I offended Celestial Venerable Huo and was unable to escape. Now, he hung me here, claiming he would grill me for a million years out of revenge before letting me go! Please, save me, I'll be more than grateful!”

Qin Mu pretended not to see or hear him.

Luo Wushuang was a kind soul and said, ”Celestial Venerable Huo hung you here to teach you a lesson and not to kill you. If we untie you, we will offend Celestial Venerable Huo. Heavenly Master Yue, can't you just burn the rope? Just go into the fire for a little bit…”

Yue Tingge was furious. ”This rope is an artifact that he refined, and this fire is his! How could the rope be burned? You are worse than Celestial Venerable Mu!”

The two of them were about to leave when Yue Tingge hastily said, ”I know a secret!”

They continued as Yue Tingge called for them, saying, ”I know where the remaining masters of creation went!”

Qin Mu stopped and turned around. He ”shockingly” said, ”How could Heavenly Master Yue be tied up here? Who is so daring to grill him with flames! Divine Knife Luo, help me, we must rescue him quickly!”

Yue Tingge stared furiously at him.

Qin Mu solemnly deployed his teleportation formation to teleport the fire away while Luo Wushuang attempted to untie the golden rope. He was unable to do so and was instead bitten by it, which made him sustain a bloody injury.

The golden rope had a dragon head at the front of it. Although it was small, it was ferocious.

Qin Mu walked forward and sized it up, explaining, ”This golden rope is a dragon that was likely a saddle or belt of Celestial Venerable Huo that was trained to become a weapon. It's hard to break through. By the way, Heavenly Master Yue, you just said that you know where the masters of creation went, right? Why don't you tell us now.”

Yue Tingge's eyeballs rolled as he said, ”I have been stuck here for around 15000 years, so I know this place well and have been to many dangerous places like the supreme consciousness realm. I found the last gathering place of the Great Void's masters of creation. They migrated. If you release me, I'll tell you what I know.”

Luo Wushuang shook his head and said, ”I can't break this golden rope.”

Qin Mu thought for a while before bowing to the golden rope and requesting, ”Celestial Venerable Huo, could you do me a favor?”

The golden rope fell off on its own and morphed into a golden dragon that opened its mouth to suck in the distant sourceless fire before flying into the clouds. It looked down and hovered above them.

Luo Wushuang was stunned to silence.

Yue Tingge fell down, got up, and patted the dirt off of himself. He glanced at the golden dragon, still somewhat wary of him, and said, ”I found the last gathering place of the masters of creation. They opened the void in the Great Void, creating heaven and earth in it before leaving. According to my theory, the Great Void crumbled and became inhospitable. Thus, they likely left in the latter part of the Dragon Han Era, under some powerful being's guidance.”

Qin Mu solemnly said, ”Could this powerful being be Celestial Venerable Yun? If not, why would Celestial Venerable Yun leave a topographic map of the Great Void to Founding Emperor?”

”I don't know about that.”

Yue Tingge continued, ”They headed to another void via the Void Bridge. I have been there too, but it was treacherous and hard to cross, which left me stuck here. Also…”

He hesitated on whether to say it.

Qin Mu's expression revealed some doubt.

Yue Tingge clenched his teeth and continued, ”About 30 years ago, I was at the end of the Void Bridge and saw a boat coming from it. On it was a couple that wasn't masters of creation. The boat disappeared almost instantly, and I couldn't chase it in time before it left the Great Void.”

Qin Mu was stunned and hastily asked, ”30 years ago?”

Yue Tingge nodded. ”It was around 35 years ago. I observed the aura of those on the boat, and they should have been the successors of Founding Emperor. Perhaps that is why the celestial heavens have continued exploring the Great Void. Recently, in the past 30 years, more and more people have entered the Great Void. However, fewer and fewer people make it here alive. I was alone for most of my more than ten thousand years here. However, I did see Brahma. He came here in a way similar to sleepwalking. I'm a Daoist and don't like monks…”

Qin Mu looked at the golden dragon and continued, ”Please lead the way to the Void Bridge, Heavenly Master Yue.”

Yue Tingge shook his head. ”I don't dare to go there. I fear meeting Founding Emperor. After all, I ruined his celestial heavens. I can draw the route, but I'm not going.”

Qin Mu retrieved some paper and a pen, and Yue Tingge drew the topographic map of the Great Void. Luo Wushuang curiously asked, ”Heavenly Master Yue, do you not intend to leave the Great Void and return to the celestial heavens? If we can cross the Void Bridge, we might find a way back to the celestial heavens.”

”Leave the Great Void and return to the celestial heavens?”

Yue Tingge said while looking down, ”Return to my doom? I'll die once I leave the Great Void. Someone won't let me leave…”

He finished the map and suddenly looked at Qin Mu and Luo Wushuang, alarmed. ”Who are you guys?”

He became insane again.

Qin Mu wrapped up the topographic map as Yue Tingge laughed. ”Ah, I remember you guys now. You are Celestial Venerable Mu, and you are one-armed one. I can't believe the celestial heavens sent three Celestial Venerables to kill me. Hehe, they really think that I'm powerful. I know a good place, I will take you guys there…”
