969 Carefree Village in the Void (1/2)
Qin Mu opened the door on the right for the second time. The scenery changed again. It was now pitch black, and he couldn't see anything.
Suddenly, the darkness cracked open, and a giant eye filled the whole room!
Qin Mu immediately shut the door as his heart jumped chaotically. 'Opening the rooms at the end of the Void Bridge really is exciting! Every time, I get scared when I open a door!'
He opened the door again, and within it was an erupting black hole. It made him shudder and close the door immediately.
Qin Mu tried it multiple times and finally found a room with a lotus.
Qin Fengqing listened to something again. He was clearly being guided as he said, ”Now, twice left, right once, middle five times, right thrice, middle once, right twice, left four times, middle seven times…”
It was as if he was saying some peculiar password. Qin Mu listened to it carefully and memorized it. If this really was the order to open the door, then it was possible that no one had found Carefree Village yet!
Normal people would enter the door, not inspect it.
Entering the door would render them trapped in the masters of creation's trap like Celestial Venerable Huo and Celestial Venerable Xu. Even if they were able to escape, they wouldn't know the order of dealing with the doors, making them helpless.
More importantly, one needed to open and close the doors multiple times. This required constant experimentation. Additionally, when one opened a door, the place behind it was a dangerous place. The chamber of concubines of Celestial Emperor, in front of Earth Count or the Primordial Tree, and on top of various dangerous places. If one wasn't careful, they could be killed by what was behind the door!
Of course, when the masters of creation created this bizarre place and the three houses, Mother Earth was still alive. Now that she was dead, there were only some gods watching the door, so it wasn't as dangerous to open the door to the Primordial Tree in the Primordial Realm.
It was nearly impossible to crack the mystery behind the doors in a short time. The likelihood was that one would be eliminated by the horrible beings behind the doors for opening them too many times.
'These masters of creation are powerful. How did Founding Emperor figure out the order for opening the doors?'
Qin Mu thought about this for a moment and had a theory about it.
The map that Celestial Venerable Yun passed to Founding Emperor probably contained the order for opening the doors.
Celestial Venerable Yun and the Great Void's masters of creation worked together to set up the trap against the Grand Emperor, which proved that his relationship with the Great Void's masters of creation was pretty good. It was likely that when the masters of creation left the Great Void, they told him the order for opening the doors.
Qin Fengqing repeated the order for opening the doors and stressed it, saying, ”You must remember the order correctly, or else you can't open the door to Carefree Village. Also, don't walk off in Carefree Village. Mom and Dad said that they already prepared a boat to fetch you after killing everything.”
Qin Mu nodded.
Qin Fengqing's apparition dispersed, and his voice grew further and further away. ”Remember, don't walk off by yourself, those tasty masters of creation are brutal…”
His apparition disappeared, and Qin Mu let out a ragged breath. He went to the left side and smiled. ”Look at this, Brother Luo.”
Luo Wushuang walked forward without any doubts. Qin Mu pushed open the door, and behind it was the Primordial Tree in the Primordial Realm. The gods watching the canopy of the tree immediately utilized their divine arts and divine weapons as they rushed towards them. Their shouts shook the heavens.
Qin Mu pushed Luo Wushuang into the door, smiling. ”Brother Luo, return to the Primordial Realm first. I'll find you after some time.”
Luo Wushuang fell into the Primordial Realm after being pushed. After seeing the thousands of gods coming after him, he felt goosebumps. He scolded and looked back, but he saw that the doors had already been closed.
He had no choice but to face them, thinking, 'This is a Celestial Venerable's territory, a celestial palace built in the Primordial Realm. If I kill the gods here, I'll end up offending that Celestial Venerable… Amongst the ten Celestial Venerables, I have already offended Celestial Empress, Mistress Yuanmu, and Celestial Venerable Xu. Celestial Venerable Hao won't let me go either. I have offended four Celestial Venerables, so it should be fine to offend one more!'
His vital qi coalesced and morphed into a divine knife against the gods guarding the celestial palace, killing them regretfully. 'It would be hard to get out of here if I don't kill them!'
'Brother Luo seems to have scolded me.'
Qin Mu opened the door again and then walked in front of the right house, opening its door once. After, he went to the middle house and thought, 'This fellow offended so many Celestial Venerables and heard so many secrets. Almost all of the ten Celestial Venerables of the celestial heavens were offended by him. Now, he even offended me, Celestial Venerable Mu. Tsk tsk…'
It wasn't that he didn't trust Luo Wushuang, it was just that Carefree Village was of great importance to him. It was better that fewer people knew about Carefree Village, so he sent him off first.
He opened and closed the doors in accordance with Qin Fengqing's prescribed order. After a while, it was done. He walked to the front of the middle house and opened the door with both of his hands.
Behind it, a bright light shone towards him, causing him to narrow his eyes. He blocked it with his hand, only letting it down when his eyes had adjusted.
In front of him was a dense forest whose trees reached the clouds. In the skies, giant birds flew about. One of them with six wings flew in front of a beautiful divine mountain.
The divine mountains were of various heights, and white clouds floated between them like the sea.
That six-winged bird flew past it and into the cloud sea. From it came a loud sound.
Qin Mu walked through the door and took a deep breath. The air was unbelievably fresh, and there was water vapor within it.
He heard the sound of water and turned around. The three houses were behind him again.
He saw that the house at the end of the Void Bridge was built on a tall peak. Those three houses behind him were surrounded by a waterfall. The water flowed down the cliff beside it, smashing onto a giant rock at the halfway point, splitting into two and torrenting down.
Qin Mu looked down and saw two rainbows at the halfway point.
'I clearly walked into the middle house, yet, when I came here, I walked out of there. How strange.'
He couldn't help but be wowed by the marvels created by the masters of creation. They were able to visualize such marvelous houses that weren't to be outdone by Celestial Venerable Yue's art of space!
'This should be Carefree Village, right?'
