1013 Plotting Against the Grand Emperor (1/2)

Qin Mu nodded with a faint smile.

Five years ago, Xing An took out Celestial Venerable Qin's token to trick him to Fallen God Valley. It was merely a way to the High Emperor Celestial Heavens, where Celestial Venerable Ling's disciple, Yi Shisheng, kept on trying to recover Celestial Venerable Ling's corpse.

When Qin Mu arrived, Celestial Emperor's disciples, such as Yan Qiling and Mu Qiubai, were there too. Dragon King Tian, under Mother Earth, was also there, along with a divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu who snuck in.

The floating coffin in the valley had the words, \”Open when Qin, Mu is here\” on it. It meant that it would open when it came into contact with Celestial Venerable Mu and Celestial Venerable Qin.

At the time, Qin Mu thought it was strange that when he didn't go to Fallen God Valley, no one went to explore it. However, when he did, everyone went there with him. It was too coincidental.

Now, it seemed that the ancient Celestial Emperor and the Grand Emperor's plot failed. Of course, Mother Earth was also involved.

Five years ago, Qin Mu couldn't understand their scheme. Today, he understood what happened there five years ago.

Celestial Emperor, the Grand Emperor, and Mother Earth knew that it was only when they got both Celestial Venerable Qin and Celestial Venerable Mu's tokens that they could open the passageway in Fallen God Valley. Thus, they waited for Qin Mu's arrival so they could enter.

Despite their slyness, they failed to predict that the Grand Emperor's divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu would be eliminated by Qin Mu and that Xing An would suppress and seal the Celestial Venerable's consciousness within it. Ultimately, Xing An took the divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu and ran away with it.

The people under Mother Earth died, while most of the ancient Celestial Emperor's disciples died as well, except for Yan Qiling.

Mother Earth suffered heavy losses, while Celestial Emperor couldn't find his corporeal body. As for the Grand Emperor, not only was he unable to verify the death of Celestial Venerable Ling, he wasn't able to take back the consciousness he used to control Celestial Emperor's corporeal body.

Qin Mu got nothing out of it either. Only Xing An got the divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu and suppressed the Grand Emperor's consciousness within it.

The big winner of that battle seemed to be Xing An.

However, fate made a fool of everyone. After Xing An got the divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu and occupied the corporeal body, he wasted five years of his life on the Great Dao runes of the ancient gods. Meanwhile, he failed to refine the most valuable prize, the Grand Emperor's consciousness, which now fell into Qin Mu's hands.

Qin Mu looked at the jade bottle with a smile on his face that gradually grew. He ended up laughing loudly!

\”Five years ago, who would've thought that I would be the ultimate winner?\”

He laughed as vital qi and consciousness danced around him. They manifested themselves into all sorts of runes that Qin Mu adjusted. He then retrieved all sorts of calculation spirit weapons and recalculated again and again to modify the runes.

Divine King Lang Wo watched him and got excited. \”Holy infant, do you need me to help you refine the Grand Emperor's consciousness? The bit in the Jade Bottle is weak, and it would be easy to refine.\”

\”Not now.\”

Qin Mu was fully concentrated on his calculations, not lifting his head once. He replied, \”Once I'm finished perfecting this divine art, then I will trouble you.\”

Divine King Lang Wo examined the runes that his consciousness and vital qi conjured up. They were marvelous and complicated, which made her unable to comprehend them.

Shu Jun couldn't understand them either, so he asked the dragon qilin about it. The dragon qilin glanced at it and said, \”Cult Master is modifying the Soul Guide divine art. Soul Guide is used to lead and guide souls. Judging from his modified runes, he aims to get it to guide consciousnesses instead of souls.\”

\”Guide consciousnesses?\”

Divine King Shu Jun and Divine King Lang Wo were perplexed. There were divine arts that could guide consciousnesses?

The dragon qilin thought about it and said, \”Soul Guide should actually be called Soul Acquisition, as one can acquire souls from Youdu and summon them to the world of the living. After Cult Master's improvements, it can even summon broken souls. Cult Master likely intends to modify it so it can summon the consciousness that Grand Emperor scattered in the Primordial Realm.\”

After a while, Qin Mu finally completed his calculations. Everyone appeared bewildered as they looked at the magnificent runes spread across the interior of the carriage.

Qin Mu examined it carefully and modified several calculation errors before he felt pleased.

Qin Mu retrieved the bottle, got out of the carriage, and placed it on the level ground of the Fallen God Valley.

His magic power almost went berserk as he utilized the modified Soul Guide. Countless runes flew around and orbited the jade bottle!

His primordial spirit appeared, standing on the main celestial palace of the taiji diagram imposingly. Beneath the Southern Heavenly Gate, dense Dao language came from him as he read all sorts of secretive Youdu languages. Countless Heavenly Yin World runes lit up around him. Some were bright while some were dark!

\”The Grand Emperor wants to kill me now, while I'm here. Thus, he mobilized the corporeal body of the eleventh Celestial Venerable. But he met Founding Emperor on the way and was killed.\”

After Qin Mu's primordial spirit utilized the improved Soul Guide, Qin Mu laughed. \”When the Grand Emperor was defeated by Founding Emperor, Founding Emperor didn't know how to gather his consciousness, so he eliminated him, causing his consciousness to be scattered. Previously, I had no objects belonging to him, so I couldn't summon his soul. But now that I have his consciousness in this bottle, I can try summoning his scattered consciousness!\”

Divine King Lang Wo followed him to the plain and saw how the ground around Qin Mu had countless runes imprinted on it. They lit up and spread in all directions, covering more and more ground.

Soon, those runes covered an area with a radius of a hundred miles, forming a large formation!

Divine King Lang Wo thought about it and said, \”Even if Founding Emperor scattered the Grand Emperor consciousness that was in the Celestial Venerable's corpse, it will coalesce again. He has likely retrieved his consciousness.\”

\”Sister Divine King, relax. Founding Emperor unleashed the twentieth sword form and the 34 heavens of the sword path to kill him. Thus, his consciousness can't coalesce in a short time. Besides…\”

Qin Mu's primordial spirit fully activated Soul Guide, and countless magnificent runes orbited around the jade bottle. The runes imprinted themselves on the bottle one by one.

One ringing wave after another was transmitted into the jade bottle before they spread out within it. After that, they spread out from it in a marvelous rhythm.
