1001 Eggshell (2/2)
The Crown Prince of the East Palace was happy as he retreated to a safe place to cultivate.
Qin Mu's gaze fell on the center of Celestial Emperor's birthplace. The purple gas was dense there, and something with a great power of attraction floated in it.
'We will know whether the ancient Celestial Emperor and the ancient gods were born naturally or made by masters of creation via visualization when we reach there!'
He felt the pulsating Great Dao. It was deep and long, which allowed him to feel more and more of the marvels of Celestial Emperor's Great Dao. It allowed him to solve more of it too.
Countless bits of mysterious information flooded in, which became knowledge in his brain.
He obtained the knowledge of the spirit ancestors of the masters of creation in the Paramita World's Ancestor Spirit World. However, they didn't have memories pertaining to the creation of the ancient gods.
During the Great Ruin of the primordial era, most of the masters of creation were eliminated by the ancient gods, causing the passing down of their civilization to be interrupted. Add to that the incident of the Grand Emperor's invasion of the Great Void, and the masters of creation had many parts missing in what they inherited.
Qin Mu suspected that the masters of creation created the ancient gods, which eliminated them because of the ruins he saw at the Blood Rust Zone.
However, this was merely his theory. He had to see the birthplace of the ancient Celestial Emperor for himself to know the specifics.
It was only at the deepest part of the purple light that one could learn the secret!
Qin Mu could hardly suppress his excitement. This secret could only be known to the ten Celestial Venerables and the ancient Celestial Emperor. Now, he would know too!
He continued on and got closer to that bunch of purple gas and light. Suddenly, Qin Mu stopped and frowned when he saw the toes of Celestial Emperor's corporeal body.
The extremely powerful corporeal body and legs were cut by the light and gas!
The muscles on the legs became thin after the terrifying pressure!
'After all, this isn't the ancient Celestial Emperor's real corporeal body, only a replica created by the Patriarch Creation Palace's creation divine weapon. It can hardly compare to the real Celestial Emperor's corporeal body.'
Qin Mu frowned. Celestial Emperor's corporeal body was formed out of his Great Daos. The Great Dao runes that the Dao Sect of the celestial heavens researched were carved in accordance with macroscopic algebra and were without microscopic algebra.
Creating Celestial Emperor's corporeal body that way caused it to pale in comparison to the real one in terms of strength or power level.
Once it reached there, the replica found it hard to sustain itself.
Qin Mu tried to move the 2,000 places of strength in it, reducing the Great Dao pressure. However, he was unsure if he could walk there.
He looked around and was slightly stunned.
Looking from where he was, he could see Xuandu, Youdu, and even the Primordial Realm!
Not only that, but the four poles of the universe and all of the heavens were in his sight. They were crystal clear, as if within touching distance.
Qin Mu groaned and looked at the purple bunch of light far away. He could faintly see the outline of the thing in the bunch of light. It was like a cracked egg. However, beneath it was something obstructed by the purple light.
The Crown Prince of the East Palace sat at the edge of Celestial Emperor's birthplace and used the light and gas to slowly cultivate. He felt that his stagnant cultivation was rising, which delighted him.
He looked at Qin Mu, who was deep within the forbidden zone, and thought, 'Father neglected the other princes and me for 40,000 years. I now know about the frustrations he faced. He took on so much stress over the years to protect us after all…'
Suddenly, doubt spread across his face. 'Why has father stopped?'
He looked at Qin Mu deep in the forbidden area with a mortified expression that only grew in severity.
He saw how, just like his own legs, Celestial Emperor's legs were cut by the light at his birthplace!
He felt a chill run down his spine. There was no way that the real ancient Celestial Emperor could be cut by the light at his own birthplace.
'He can't be Father!' A terrifying thought was birthed in his heart.
Under his gaze, Qin Mu continued moving towards that purple light and gas. His legs became a mushy mess of blood and flesh, and the imposing body of Celestial Emperor began to contort under the terrifying pressure of the Great Dao there. His muscles began to contract as his corporeal body shrank.
Even Qin Mu, who hid between the brows of Celestial Emperor's corporeal body, felt the Dao pressure seeping into Celestial Emperor's body, pressuring him. It was so strong that if he exposed himself outside, he would instantly be incinerated to ashes and cease to exist!
'I can't walk forward anymore!'
Qin Mu stopped and used Celestial Emperor's eyes to look at the purple light. It was too blurry for him to see what was beneath the eggshell.
'Since his corporeal body's eyes aren't useful, I'll use my own! Open!'
Qin Mu used the power in Celestial Emperor's body to shield the heart of his brows. It cracked open, and his real body appeared. He opened his third eye to look at the thing in the purple light.
His heart shuddered when he saw that the thing that was drowning in dense purple light beneath the cracked eggshell was an ancient sacrificial altar!
The sacrificial altar seemed to have a mysterious power that led the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth to coalesce in its center. Many dense and complicated rune imprints were being imprinted on the cracked eggshell by the light and gas!
The imprint on the eggshell was marvelous and complex, even more so than what he saw in the Guardian Pavilion's jade scrolls. There was more of it too!
However, the eggshell was hollow. All that was left were those marvelous runes that were flashing and giving off light!
'There seems to be some egg white inside…'
