963 The Opposite Shore of the Void (2/2)
He mobilized his consciousness, penetrating the seal on the mouth of the bottle. There was really a vast ocean inside. When he shook the bottle just now, it created typhoons and giant waves. The waves surged and crashed, accompanied by flashes of lightning and rumbles of thunder!
His consciousness looked towards the sky and saw that it was filled with stars near the entrance of the bottle. There was also a galaxy swirling close to the entrance, containing six constellations.
His consciousness flew over the ocean and arrived at the wall of the bottle. He realized that the wall was actually a landmass perpendicular to the ocean, forming the shape of a ring.
The landmass was expansive and seemed to have everything one would expect—mountains, plains, and rivers!
At that moment, he saw a sun rising from the sea!
”This tiny little bottle could actually contain an entire world!”
Qin Mu was shocked. The strange thing was that even though the bottle contained a world, he couldn't feel its weight.
”So, it turns out that the old lady is the chief of the Hidden Mountain tribe.”
Shu Jun's voice resonated in his head. ”The Hidden Mountain tribe was a big tribe during the time of the ancient primordial era. The masters of creation of this tribe were adept at creating worlds. This bottle of yours is actually a world.”
Qin Mu got a fright, finding it a little hard to believe what he had heard. Worlds were enormous. How did this little bottle manage to fit a world inside?
Also, when he entered the world through his consciousness, he saw that the world in the bottle was much bigger than those in the Primordial Realm.
”During the ancient primordial era, the Hidden Mountain tribe visualized countless worlds.”
Shu Jun said, ”The world she has given you should be the Flask World. And the bottle that contains it should naturally be referred to as the Bottle of Flask World. This is a rare treasure. By giving this to you, it shows that she holds you in high regard.”
Qin Mu solemnly placed the Bottle of Flask World in the Qin word land, together with the crystal coffin and Celestial Venerable Yun's corporeal body.
The Bottle of Flask World was important to him. If the reform of Eternal Peace failed, it could provide the people of Eternal Peace a place to seek refuge.
”However, that old lady isn't someone who is easy to deal with. Her gift comes with a price.”
Shu Jun smiled. ”Since you have accepted her treasure, you have to deliver what you have promised her. This old lady was a ruthless character during the ancient primordial era. Even though she is dead, her consciousness remains. If you are unable to make good your promise, you will die a terrible death!”
He seemed a little delighted in Qin Mu's misfortune. ”Her consciousness was planted in your body the moment you accepted the basket, and she has countless ways of torturing you to death!”
Qin Mu's face darkened as he said resentfully, ”For example?”
”For instance, to visualize all sorts of things in your body. To grow countless thorns in your stomach, distracting you from your opponents' blows during a fight. She could also visualize a sun in your body, burning you to death. Alternatively, she could visualize the ocean, hitting you with the force of its waves. Killing you is too simple.” Shu Jun chuckled.
Qin Mu's scalp went numb. He took out paper and a brush, recording down the promises he made to the Hidden Mountain tribe so that he wouldn't forget them.
Ten days later, they came to the end of the desert.
On their way, they saw many ruins covered by the desert. They first saw cities, then simple city walls, followed by hastily constructed camps.
The wind conjured up waves of golden sand, and skeletons were littered everywhere.
There were also assaults by the Grand Emperor. His extremely strong consciousness covered the entire Great Void, transforming into all sorts of attacks, pursuing and killing the masters of creation.
The environment in the Great Void was getting harsher. The masters of creation could control nature according to their whims. However, after the Great Void was damaged by the Grand Emperor, flooding it with uncontrolled consciousness and monsters, it was very hard for the masters of creation to survive.
Their current location should be where the last group of the masters of creation of the Great Void had been. An unknown number died when they fled here.
'The migration of the masters of creation of the Great Void was likely to have occurred around the time the Grand Emperor was killed, which was around the later years of the Dragon Han Era.'
Qin Mu pondered. 'During that era, the celestial heavens didn't know that there was another world or this bloody battle. The only one that was aware was Celestial Venerable Yun.'
No one knew why the Grand Emperor wanted to bathe the Great Void in blood. It was likely that Celestial Venerable Yun came here and worked with the masters of creation to lay a trap for the Grand Emperor, imprisoning him in the supreme consciousness realm.
'However, why was Celestial Venerable Yun's corporeal body in the heart of the Grand Emperor's brows?'
Qin Mu had some doubts. Celestial Venerable Yun didn't die in that battle. Rather, he was killed during the fight for the right to govern the celestial heavens. There was no way his corporeal body would be here.
Also, the bloodline curse of the Yun family should have been planted by the masters of creation when he died. During that time, the Grand Emperor was already dead in the Great Void.
He sighed. The more secrets he knew, the more doubts he had.
Although he had been to the Dragon Han Era, it felt like a hazy memory to him.
He had too many doubts which he would need Celestial Venerable Yun to clear up.
'When we leave the Great Void, I will use the power of Heaven Duke and Earth Count to revive Celestial Venerable Yun!'
Qin Mu looked in front and saw the border of the Great Void. Beyond it was boundless dark void with no landmass.
At the masters of creation's final gathering point, which Yue Tingge told them about, they saw simple city walls and a towering sacrificial altar with flickering lights on it.
Those masters of creation likely built another void and used the Void Bridge to connect and bring them to that new world.
Qin Mu and Luo Wushuang came to the gathering point. It had long been empty, and only an ancient-looking sacrificial altar remained.
The brilliance on the top of the sacrificial altar belonged to a bridge with disjointed pieces, looking very unstable. It was the Void Bridge. At times, it was crumbling, and at other times, it was whole again. They didn't know where it led. Beyond the bridge was a scene of doomsday!
Qin Mu frowned as he looked at the Void Bridge, thinking about how to cross it. Suddenly, he saw a lady traversing the bridge on the other end!
Surrounding the lady was a scene of destruction. The void contorted and collapsed, creating a scene that was incomparably terrifying. Many celestial palaces were floating behind the lady as they organized themselves into a broken celestial heaven, planning to cross the void to reach the opposite shore!
”Celestial Venerable Xu!” Luo Wushuang lowered his voice as he spoke.
