1002 Exposure of Identity (1/2)

'The sacrificial altar belongs to the masters of creation. However, why did they visualize an egg? The ancient Celestial Emperor hatched from it, but the masters of creation could have just visualized a lifeform. There would be no need to visualize an egg and hatch the ancient Celestial Emperor from it…'

Qin Mu was confused.

The ancient Celestial Emperor's birth was peculiar. Judging from his birthplace, the egg should have come first. The masters of creation got it from somewhere and found life in it, so they built a sacrificial altar for it.

They sacrificed to it, causing power to flood into the egg so the life inside would hatch.

However, the birth of the ancient Celestial Emperor also caused the masters of creation's fall and near extinction. They had to open another void and hide in the Great Void.

However, this theory still had a lot of unsolved mysteries. Where did the egg come from?

How could the egg birth such a powerful being like the ancient Celestial Emperor?

Why did they gather so many masters of creation to hatch the ancient Celestial Emperor?

Qin Mu felt that the Celestial Emperor replica couldn't take it, so he backed off to relieve the pressure.

'That cracked egg should be useful, should I take it?'

His gaze flashed as he tried to use the power in Celestial Emperor's corporeal body to retrieve the cracked eggshell.

However, despite having power above the Emperor's Throne level, the magic power flooding out of Celestial Emperor's corporeal body was still pulverized by the purple Great Dao light.

Qin Mu frowned. The eggshell was there, yet none of the celestial heavens' ten Celestial Venerables took it, suggesting that it was very hard to take.

Although he could use the corporeal body's power, it couldn't withstand the pressure of the birthplace to reach the sacrificial altar.

'Could one retrieve it if they had the real body of Celestial Emperor? It's still stuck in Celestial Venerable Ling's divine art, though. However, when his real body was still here, they didn't retrieve it. Could they have been worried that the eggshell would fall into another's hands.'

After the ancient Celestial Emperor died, the Heaven Alliance ceased to be united. Internal strife occurred, which explained why they couldn't take the eggshell when they controlled Celestial Emperor.

'No divine art in the world can be preserved here. Even the supreme consciousness realm can't deal with the pressure here. However, there is a divine art that can deal with the Great Dao's purple light!'

Qin Mu's gaze flashed as he retrieved Celestial Venerable Ling's peachwood hairpin.

Only Celestial Venerable Ling's divine art of unchanging substance could make the Great Dao purple light and gas there go still.

He used the power within Celestial Emperor's body to utilize the peachwood hairpin. With a gentle wave, the light flowing towards the eggshell stopped!

Qin Mu was happy and strode forward, towards the purple light. However, when he moved and touched the purple light, he felt the pain experienced by Celestial Emperor's corporeal body.

This body was unable to withstand the light and gas, so when it touched them, many injuries appeared.

Qin Mu frowned. He had to utilize the power in Celestial Emperor's corporeal body to maintain the unchanging substance divine art, yet there was little power he could utilize from the body.

'Can I reach the sacrificial altar with my own vital qi and consciousness?'

When he thought about that, his vital qi and consciousness flooded out, and he ran straight for the sacrificial altar.

The sacrificial altar looked close but was extremely far away. It looked bigger than him, and the cracked eggshell was bigger than his imagination too!

Qin Mu's vital qi and consciousness merged, and he became extremely agile. When he reached the sacrificial altar, he tried to lift the eggshell.

However, the eggshell, which still had egg white in it, was heavy. He couldn't move it at all.

He turned to pull the other eggshell, and it moved.

Qin Mu was delighted. He used his vital qi and consciousness to pull it bit by bit to the edge of the sacrificial altar.

It fell off of the sacrificial altar and onto the still purple light as if it was floating on water. Qin Mu's heart pumped as he pulled it closer.

The closer the eggshell was, the more of its power he felt. When he pulled it to his front, the eggshell was taller than Celestial Emperor's corporeal body, and he needed to look up to see it!

Qin Mu was shocked, and before he could size up the rune imprints on it, he had to send it to the Qin word land.

Boom—

A loud rumble came from the Qin word land. The eggshell fell from the sky but didn't land. Instead, it floated in the air, covering half of the landmass!

Qin Mu felt that his third eye's vision became blurry. He could only see countless flashing runes and nothing else.

This was because his third eye was weird. It used the Qin word land that Earth Count's horns formed as the iris and the Grand Primordium Origin Stone as the pupil. So, when Celestial Emperor's eggshell fell, it blocked his eyes.

'I have no other precious artifact to place this thing in, so I can only put it in the Qin word land. However, it isn't great that it blocks my vision.'

Qin Mu's heart tightened. 'There's nothing behind the Qin word land. Could I put it there?'

He didn't go for it immediately. He put back the peachwood hairpin first before backing off until Celestial Emperor's corporeal body could take the pressure.

He used Celestial Emperor's power and flooded it into his third eye to shift the eggshell to the back of the Qin word land, hanging it in its center.

Now, the eggshell became his third eye's glass ball. The light came in from the outside and passed through the Grand Primordium Origin Stone in the center of the Qin word land. The light then shone on the interior of the eggshell, and the runes on it were lit up.
