1008 Celestial Venerable Xiao of Mankind (1/2)
It was way easier to travel to any place with the Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridges. The Primordial Realm was large and vital, so the number of bridges that were connected to it were plenty.
Qin Mu looked out and saw that the place was a Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge in the center of the Primordial Realm, built on a divine city in the air. They weren't far from the Primordial Tree. He frowned and asked, \”Dutian, why didn't we head straight to Eternal Peace?\”
Before Dutian Devil King could reply, Yun Chuxiu smiled and said, \”Eternal Peace is small, so there are only two Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridges that connect to it. One is under my control, and the other is in the Patriarch Creation Palace. You can only reach this divine city via the other bridges. This divine city is called Yuandu and is the center of the Primordial Realm.\”
Qin Mu's heart fluttered as he retrieved his passport to get Dutian Devil King to search for the land's god general to file a record. He indifferently asked, \”The Primordial Realm of today is in which Celestial Venerable's hands?\”
He sized up his surroundings and saw how Yuandu was grand and heavily guarded. It was at an altitude of 20,000 miles, and it monitored the transportation of the heavens of the Primordial Realm. Many Daoist were flying in the air on clouds to pluck down the sun, moon, and stars from the sky to roll up the heavens.
That was Heavenly Painting.
The new one should have been created. The original one was tattered and too small to cover the entire sky of the Primordial Realm, so these Daoists of the celestial heavens' Dao Sect were taking it down.
Yun Chuxiu looked up and shockingly said, \”You don't know? Originally, the Primordial Realm was supposed to be in Celestial Venerable Hao's hands, but he was too rash and was taken advantage of by Celestial Venerable Xiao.\”
She pitifully sighed. \”Celestial Venerable Xiao is sly and cunning. He forced Celestial Venerable Hao away when he was injured in the fight with Mother Earth, who had just resurrected, to occupy the Primordial Realm for himself. This Primordial Realm is powerful. It was previously called Yuandu and had a lot of resources. However, Celestial Emperor ordered Yuandu's resources to be mined to build the celestial heavens…\”
Qin Mu's heart shuddered. He listened to almost nothing in the latter half of her speech.
If Celestial Venerable Xiao acquired the Primordial Realm, then he was the being that the ancient Celestial Emperor's soul morphed into in the celestial heavens!
Qin Mu originally thought that Celestial Venerable Qiang was the ancient Celestial Emperor, but he was wrong.
'Or perhaps the ancient Celestial Emperor has two identities in the celestial heavens. One is Celestial Venerable Xiao, while the other is Heavenly Lady Qiang.'
Qin Mu smiled. \”Good sister, how well do you know Celestial Venerable Xiao?\”
Yun Chuxiu blinked and alarmingly said, \”When you want me to tell you things, you honey up your mouth and call me good sister. After that, I become a vixen that you guard against. Why do you want to know about Celestial Venerable Xiao?\”
Qin Mu sincerely said, \”I've been in the celestial heavens for quite some time. I spent almost five years there, and yet I know nothing about him. He's a mysterious person to me, which is why I would like your guidance. Good sister, you shouldn't be too estranged from Celestial Venerable Xiao, right?\”
Yun Chuxiu rolled her eyes and said, \”He's a hero of mankind. You should have a favorable impression of him. He once became the first celestial emperor of the South High Emperor Celestial Heavens with the help of Celestial Venerable Ling.\”
Qin Mu didn't know what to say.
Yun Chuxiu saw his expression of shock and couldn't help but laugh. \”What's with the look on your face? Celestial Venerable Xiao has another identity, the disciple of Celestial Venerable Yun and Celestial Venerable Yue. He followed them ever since the Dragon Han Era and could be regarded as the most radical figure in the Heaven Alliance. He has wanted to eliminate the ancient gods for a long time now. He even wants to eliminate Celestial Venerable Hao, God Emperor Lang Xuan, and Ancestral God King.\”
Qin Mu was stunned to silence as if he was struck by lightning.
Celestial Emperor was Celestial Venerable Yun and Celestial Venerable Yue's disciple? He even became Celestial Venerable Ling's disciple too?
\”Celestial Venerable Xiao was very active during the Dragon Han and Crimson Light Eras. He's pretty xenophobic, however, as he views half gods and ancient gods with hostility, causing him to not be too welcomed by people.\”
Yun Chuxiu said, \”Celestial Venerable Yun and Celestial Venerable Yue were also helpless in dealing with his radical ideas, so they kicked him out over some trivial matter. However, unexpectedly, he became quite close to Celestial Venerable Ling. When Celestial Venerable Yun died and Celestial Venerable Yue went into seclusion, Celestial Venerable Ling valued him greatly and helped him become the South High Emperor.\”
Qin Mu felt muddle-headed and couldn't say much.
\”The other Celestial Venerables also don't welcome him much because of how he was Celestial Venerable Yun and Celestial Venerable Yue's disciple on top of how he got close to Celestial Venerable Ling. He is also a secluded person that rarely shows himself in public.\”
Yun Chuxiu plainly said, \”I suspect that one of the Celestial Venerables who saved you at the Jade Pool was him.\”
Qin Mu calmed himself and called on Dutian Devil King and the others, saying, \”Let's go to Eternal Peace.\”
The dragon qilin probed him, asking, \”Cult Master, do you really want to go to Eternal Peace? What about the Grand Emperor's corpse?\”
Qin Mu smiled. \”The Primordial Realm is Celestial Venerable Xiao's territory, what is there to be afraid of? Celestial Venerable Xiao is a human and protects his people. When the Eternal Peace Calamity occurred, he was the one who protected the humans of Eternal Peace. If the Grand Emperor really dares to come, he won't be able to return!\”
The dragon qilin said to Dutian in a panic, \”Brother Dutian, head back to the celestial heavens now!\”
Qin Mu kicked him and coldly laughed. \”Idiot, do you not trust a human like Celestial Venerable Xiao? With Celestial Venerable Xiao here, I won't be in danger!\”
The dragon qilin mumbled, \”But Celestial Venerable Xiao isn't here…\”
Qin Mu pointed and smiled. \”Who says so? His divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu is suppressing the Primordial Realm. If I encounter danger, he will trigger it to save us!\”
Dutian Devil King brought the passport back and said, \”Cult Master, we have made the record.\”
Qin Mu laughed with great enthusiasm before waving and saying, \”Celestial Venerable Xiao knows I'm here. Since that's the case, let's return to Eternal Peace!\”
The nine dragons chanted as they grew to become divine dragons that were hundreds of miles long. They rose into the air, pulling the carriage with them as they followed a long river extending towards the east in the air.
