967 One Ark, Three Celestial Venerables (1/2)

The Paramita Ark advanced along the Void Bridge. The ark itself was marked by billions of rune imprints. Whenever it encountered fissures in the void, these runes would glow and inhibit their power.

The Paramita Ark was the culmination of knowledge from the Founding Emperor Era. Together with the fact that Founding Emperor had the map given to him by Celestial Venerable Yun, the ark was able to traverse this Void Bridge that even Celestial Venerable Xu was unable to cross.

However, Qin Mu had some concerns. After all, this ark was created through his visualization and not forged by the countless gods and devils. Be it the stability and sturdiness of the ark or the power of its runes, it wouldn't match up to the real ark.

'I hope we can cross the Void Bridge safely,' he quietly thought to himself.

The Void Bridge was disjointed at various points. Every time they came to a gap, the void was destroyed, causing an explosion. There were many tiny universes going through a continuous cycle of birth and destruction, and this corroded the runes on the ark's surface, causing them to be decimated.

Qin Mu's expression changed slightly. He glanced back and saw that the ark had traversed only one-tenth of the bridge. They were still very far away from the other end.

Luo Wushuang's expression also changed. The Void Bridge was much more dangerous than he thought. The power of the void's explosions was enough to instantly vaporize a Numinous Sky Realm expert like himself into ashes!

The fact that the Paramita Ark that was created through Qin Mu's visualization was able to make it as far as it had already exceeded his expectations.

However, the Paramita Ark was beginning to suffer damage. It looked like there was no way for this ark to cross the bridge successfully, perhaps not even half of it!

”Spirit Embryo Divine Treasure realm, open!”

Qin Mu gave a low shout as the divine treasure realm opened. He stood upright within the realm, brightly-lit stars above his head. His face reflected upon the stars as they transformed into Heaven Duke, while the taiji diagram, upon reflecting his face, transformed into Earth Count.

Behind him, a verdant Primordial Tree sprouted. On top of it, stars appeared with a flash, filling up the sky. Many ancient gods emerged among the stars, one after another. There were also the four deities of the four directions, who were standing erect on the four points of the taiji diagram.

All of these devils and gods had the face of Qin Mu.

Although Qin Mu was aware that the Spirit Embryo Divine Treasure realm had major deficiencies, he had no choice but to use it as an emergency measure since the cultivation of his own realm wasn't yet completed.

Qin Mu stood in the center of the divine treasure realm and executed the Overlord Body Three Elixir Technique. His vital qi and consciousness danced around swiftly in the air and on the ground, looking like dragons. They transformed into rays of light, connecting the more than 2000 ancient gods.

He comprehended the Grand Emperor's Great Overarching Supreme Consciousness. Although it was just an incomplete fragment, it included over 2000 images of ancient gods, greatly surpassing the current ancient gods' system.

The vital qi and consciousness connected all of the ancient gods, forming a giant system of ancient gods in his divine treasure realm.

The more than 2000 ancient gods of Qin Mu performed visualization at the same time, repairing the damage done to the Paramita Ark and allowing it to break through the many layers of the void as it headed towards the end of the bridge.

The Paramita Ark shook violently, and the ancient gods in Qin Mu's divine treasure realm also became unsteady. Upon seeing this scene, Luo Wushuang's heart thumped with fear.

'When I have to simultaneously control so many ancient gods, I'm unable to control them well enough to repair the Paramita Ark!'

Upon thinking this, Qin Mu immediately closed his eyes to enter the dream state. A giant bubble emerged from the heart of his brows. That was the dream world. It grew bigger and bigger until it eventually covered the entire divine treasure realm.

Within the divine treasure realm, the more than 2000 ancient gods of Qin Mu had faint smiles on their faces. Each of them entered their dreams one after another, creating their own bubble-like dream worlds. The result was that there were 10 million ancient gods performing visualization in all of these dream worlds.

This was a double-layered dream state, dreams within a dream.

By doing so, even though there were a few ancient gods who might be making errors in their visualization, there were many more ancient gods who were performing it correctly. Thus, the error tolerance rate greatly improved, ensuring that the Paramita Ark was in a constant state of recovery.

Luo Wushuang heaved a sigh of relief as the Paramita Ark stabilized. He looked at Qin Mu, who was in the divine treasure realm, and thought to himself, 'I wonder how long he can last…'

The Paramita Ark continued to move forward. Despite the fact that the runes on the ark were going through a state of destruction and recovery, the ark could be considered stable, apart from the fact that its speed was gradually decreasing.

As the giant ark reached the midpoint of the bridge, Luo Wushuang turned and looked back at their starting point. The sacrificial altar that was constructed by the masters of creation had become a tiny speck.

When he looked towards the end of the bridge, he saw little bright specks everywhere. Only Celestial Venerable Xu, who was trapped in the void storm, was visible. She was fighting and struggling, trying to escape and make her way to the end of the Void Bridge.

The Paramita Ark began to tremble again. Luo Wushuang frowned and shouted, ”Cult Master Qin, please stop advancing! There's no way your consciousness will be able to keep up!”

Because Qin Mu was in a double-layered dream state, his words were unable to penetrate the second layer of the dream state.

Luo Wushuang started to panic. He hurriedly went to the side of the ark, then bent and looked over. The runes were continuously getting pulverized in the void storm.

At the same time, new runes were being created. The rate at which the runes were created was miraculously the same as the speed they were getting decimated.

'Cult Master Qin is still able to hold on, but I'm afraid it won't last.'

Luo Wushuang felt uneasy. He had no way of waking Qin Mu, as he was now in a double-layered dream state and was unable to hear him.

If Qin Mu was unable to detect the current precarious situation and act on his own, he was afraid that the Paramita Ark would soon be pulverized on the Void Bridge!

At this moment, the Paramita Ark suddenly stopped, leaning on one of the glowing segments of the Void Bridge.

Luo Wushuang was stunned. There was no void storm around this segment of the Void Bridge, meaning they could take shelter there for the time being.

However, the glowing segment was like a lone island, with nothing in front or behind it. Being trapped there wasn't exactly a good strategy.

Qin Mu's dream world dissipated, and he woke up. His consciousness was almost depleted, so he had to stop advancing and recover his consciousness.

”Cult Master Qin, don't push yourself too hard. With this ark, we can leave the Great Void and return to the celestial heavens. This ark is strong enough to resist the peculiarities of the Great Void.”

Luo Wushuang suggested, ”Your consciousness level is pretty low now. Let's wait for you to recover before exploring the Void Bridge.”

”Sounds reasonable.”

Qin Mu executed his Overlord Body Three Elixir Technique and quickly recovered his consciousness. He laughed. ”However, we have already crossed half of the Void Bridge and aren't far away from the other side. No matter what, we should give it a try.”
