1000 Crown Prince of the East Palace (1/2)

The goddesses that were taking care of the ancient Celestial Emperor's corporeal body were at a loss. They had never seen him flustered like this.

Now the ancient Celestial Emperor looked like he had lost total control of his corporeal body. His face contorted in different directions as though it was eight separate pieces, with each piece being an individual face with its own expression.

He also seemed to have lost control over his body. His ten fingers were twisted as tendons popped out madly. The muscles underneath his skin looked like countless dragons burrowing and fighting.

The scene was indeed shocking, and those goddesses were so frightened that they fell into a daze.

Qin Mu stood up and said, ”All of you are dismissed.”

Those goddesses stepped back and left the Hall of Nourishment.

Qin Mu bowed and said, ”Your Majesty seems to be unwell. I'll take my leave now.”

When he was about to leave, waves of tremors suddenly surged forth. The eight Celestial Venerables weren't fighting anymore and looked as though they left Celestial Emperor's corporeal body at the same time. They retracted their magic power and consciousness and stopped getting involved with each other.

Every one of them was afraid. When attacking each other in Celestial Emperor's body, one had to simultaneously defend against the seven other Celestial Venerables. There was even a chance that the other Celestial Venerables would gang up on one Celestial Venerable, hence revealing his real techniques.

If this were the case, it was better to simply retreat.

After all, being together in Celestial Emperor's corporeal body was very dangerous to all of them. The matter of the Grand Emperor hiding among them wasn't that pressing, and they could take their time to investigate. But to end up revealing one's most powerful ability, that would be a heavy price to pay.

Celestial Emperor's corporeal body was instantly emptied.

Without their control, the ancient Celestial Emperor slowly shut his eyes. The halos behind his head continued to spin gently and weren't as violent as before. His chest was rising and falling, showing that he was still breathing.

His aura returned to normal while the blood in his body continued to circulate. It was as though the majestic celestial river was flowing through his veins.

The most explosive force was hidden in his heart. It felt like the power source of a galaxy, incomparably terrifying!

Although this body was built by algebra and the art of creation and wasn't the real body of Celestial Emperor, it contained limitless power.

Qin Mu was dazed. At this moment, in this Hall of Nourishment, he was actually left alone with Celestial Emperor's corporeal body!

His gaze flickered as he looked at the body. Although this was just an imitation, it could still be considered the manifestation of the celestial heavens' wisdom, almost on par with the strongest divine weapon, Celestial Venerable Yu!

However, what was crucial wasn't the power of this Celestial Emperor divine weapon, it was the authority and status it represented!

'If the ten Celestial Venerables could have their fun, why can't I? I'm Celestial Venerable Mu, whose status is even higher than theirs…'

Qin Mu seemed like he fell into a trance as he walked towards the corporeal body of the ancient Celestial Emperor, muttering to himself, ”There are many secrets hidden in the celestial heavens. Shu Jun even said that this was the birthplace of the ancient Celestial Emperor. Also, there's Celestial Venerable Yu's broken soul and the Patriarch Creation Palace's creation divine weapon. These are places I'm unable to get close to. However, if I entered Celestial Emperor's corporeal body…”

He suppressed the throbbing of his heart. Without missing a step, he soon arrived at the heart of the ancient Celestial Emperor's brows.

Although this Celestial Emperor's corporeal body was an imitation, from its structure, one was unable to see any traces of algebra.

The research of the ancient Celestial Emperor's corporeal body and runes conducted by the celestial heavens' Dao Sect wasn't a matter of days but something that lasted over tens of thousands of years. One could say that their study of this ancient god had reached its peak.

Although Qin Mu had received the ancient Celestial Emperor's runes of Great Dao, his research on Celestial Emperor's Great Dao was still superficial. On the contrary, it was Heaven Duke's runes of Great Dao that benefited him immensely. This showed the intricacy and sophistication of Celestial Emperor's runes of Great Dao.

His consciousness surged forth, gushing into the heart of Celestial Emperor's brows.

In the mind of Celestial Emperor, he saw a sea of dense purple light. The brain of Celestial Emperor was in it, meticulously formed by countless runes. It was as though innumerable Great Daos had been chained together.

When his consciousness entered Celestial Emperor's Great Dao, it was like entering an extremely intricate machine. He had to ponder which part of the brain controlled the eyes, mouth, and fingers.

Even though Qin Mu's consciousness was far stronger than before, it would still require some effort to completely control this corporeal body.

It was simply too big. The various parts of the brain represented different Dao, controlling different parts of the body. To mobilize all of these parts would require precise control of Celestial Emperor's brain. It was difficult to master controlling this corporeal body within a short span of time.

Also, consciousness was needed to control this body. The speed that it was being consumed was too tough for him.

'Maybe I can use the method of 'borrowing bodies' to utilize the power inside this corporeal body…'

Qin Mu put it into action immediately. He had the wisdom of the masters of creation and was very familiar with the ”borrowing bodies” method that was unique to them. The Grand Emperor once said that he could borrow the body of anyone he wished, hence turning himself into anybody.

Although Qin Mu's attainments were beneath the Grand Emperor, nevertheless, it was sufficient to execute this method.

After some time, he felt that his consciousness had been perfectly merged with Celestial Emperor's corporeal body, as though he had become the ancient Celestial Emperor. His control of the corporeal body had reached a high degree of precision, just like he was controlling his own body.

Not just that, he could accurately determine the location of all of the power sources in this body.
