1014 Ultimate Void (2/2)
It was good that Divine King Lang Wo and Divine King Shu Jun's seals were around. Because of the seals, the force emitted from the bottle wasn't too powerful. The bottle remained in his palm.
Shu Jun and Divine King Lang Wo both sat in a lotus position. The heart of their brows repeatedly gave off light rays that looked like twisted bubbles. They ventured deep into the void, preparing to jointly seal the 35th void in order to stop the Grand Emperor's Great Overarching Consciousness Heaven.
There was an in-depth description of the void in the wisdom imparted by the masters of creation of the Ancestor Spirit World to Qin Mu.
During the ancient primordial era, which the masters of creation lived in, souls weren't important. What was important was consciousness. In particular, how to protect one's consciousness was extremely important. When consciousness was deposited within the void, one could merge with heaven and earth, hence prolonging one's life.
The masters of creation used consciousness to create things. To them, any places in which they could create things or deposit their consciousness were considered voids. Hence, the real universe was naturally the 1st void.
After breaking through the 1st void, one's consciousness would reach another illusory level. That was the 2nd void.
If one was able to create things in the 2nd void, they could try to break through to reach the 3rd void.
The 3rd void was more illusory, vague, and insubstantial.
So on and so forth, void after void was founded by the masters of creation. The deeper one ventured into the void, the longer one's consciousness was preserved. However, within the wisdom of the Ancestor Spirit World, there were only 35 voids. There were no records of the 36th void, which was the Ultimate Void.
Actually, when one attained the 35th void, their consciousness would live as long as heaven and earth and would be immortal. One would enjoy eternal tranquility there, only dying if the universe was destroyed.
However, during the ancient primordial era, there were masters of creation who were able to reach the 35th void, refining the consciousness of others who had deposited their consciousness there, using it to kill their enemies. Hence, depositing one's consciousness in the void wasn't entirely safe.
Qin Mu had only heard of the 36th void, the Ultimate Void, from Shu Jun. However, he didn't know much about it.
Given his current consciousness cultivation, it would be considered decent if he could reach the 10th void.
The Grand Emperor was the only one who could reach the 36th void. The consciousness that he deposited there was refined into the Great Overarching Consciousness Heaven. Since the ancient primordial era, he had witnessed and survived countless calamities. One could see how powerful this Ultimate Void was.
'In the future, when my consciousness has been cultivated to the level of the Grand Emperor, I will definitely make a trip to the Ultimate Void! However, for now…'
Qin Mu put away the jade bottle and shouted, \”Dutian, start the carriage and get ready to flee!\”
In the distance, Dutian Devil King immediately woke up the nine heavenly dragons and rushed the Heavenly Dragon Treasure Carriage over as swift as the wind. Qin Mu picked up the unmoving bodies of Shu Jun and Divine King Lang Wo and hopped onto the carriage. He said solemnly, \”Run as fast as you can, try to shake off the Great Overarching Consciousness Heaven!\”
Dutian Devil King bellowed as he raised his whip to lash at the nine heavenly dragons. Upon feeling pain, the nine dragons galloped forward at full speed, moving as quick as lightning.
Dutian Devil King continued to lash with his whip until one of the heavenly dragons couldn't tolerate any longer. It turned its head and said, \”Fellow, stop lashing! We're not beasts that are unable to understand what you are saying. You can simply tell us to gallop with our full might, and we will obey. Is there a need to lash us so severely?\”
Dutian Devil King got a fright. He quickly put away the whip and kept quiet.
The Heavenly Dragon Treasure Carriage was moving faster and faster. On the carriage, Qin Mu saw that the foreheads of Divine King Shu Jun and Divine King Lang Wo were covered with cold sweat. The light rays of consciousness that were gushing out of the hexagon-shaped vertical eyes at the hearts of their brows were getting thicker. They had reached the 35th void.
They looked as though they were under extreme pressure. Clearly, the incensed Grand Emperor was locking onto them tightly. He was still able to find them despite the fact that the Heavenly Dragon Treasure Carriage had left their prior location.
Qin Mu frowned as he said, \”Dutian, can this treasure carriage enter Youdu? Bring them to Youdu!\”
Dutian Devil King quickly passed down the order. He heard a loud bang as the treasure carriage penetrated Youdu. Their surroundings suddenly turned dark as thunder rumbled around the nine heavenly dragons while they pulled the treasure carriage in the darkness at full speed.
The two divine kings, Shu Jun and Lang Wo, suddenly looked like they were relieved of a huge burden and woke up one after another.
\”What a close shave!\”
Divine King Lang Wo wiped off the cold sweat on her forehead and praised, \”The Grand Emperor is indeed extraordinary, pressuring us until we are breathless! However, I have made use of this opportunity to discover the Ultimate Void!\”
Qin Mu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that both of them were fine.
Shu Jun looked around, his expression changing slightly as he asked, \”Holy infant, what is this place?\”
Divine King Lang Wo also surveyed the surroundings. Her expression changed drastically as she said with a trembling voice, \”Could this be Youdu?\”
In front of the Heavenly Dragon Treasure Carriage, two long streams of blazing yellow springs descended from the sky. Those were the two horns of Earth Count, formed by countless annihilated worlds. The water of the yellow springs was flaming lava.
In front of this colossal ancient god floated the divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu. Although he was only a tenth of Earth Count's true body, he was nevertheless extremely huge, immeasurable!
\”Quickly, go!\”
Shu Jun shouted, \”Earth Count and us, the masters of creation, were sworn enemies!\”
Qin Mu was slightly stunned. He was about to get Dutian Devil King to turn the carriage around to leave Youdu when he saw the imposing Earth Count slowly turning his head, looking over with his three eyes.
Cold sweat appeared on Divine King Lang Wo's forehead again. She flew out and threw herself in front of the Heavenly Dragon Treasure Carriage.
\”Holy infant, you have promised me that you will take good care of the masters of creation race! Don't forget your promise!\”
She said without turning back, \”Leave without me!\”
Suddenly, Qin Mu appeared in front of her. He made a stroke with his hand and opened a Gate of Heaven Influence.
Earth Count's gaze swept over, disintegrating the Gate of Heaven Influence.
Veins were popping out on Qin Mu's forehead. He roused his vital qi to open another Gate of Heaven Influence, but it was disintegrated once again.
\”It's useless.\”
Shu Jun sighed and moved to Qin Mu's side. He stood shoulder to shoulder with Divine King Lang Wo, shaking his head as he said, \”The masters of creation and ancient gods are natural enemies. Back then, when the ancient gods were killing us, Earth Count was one of their leaders. He won't let us off. Holy infant, Lang Wo, leave without me. I'll stay back and handle this!\”
Qin Mu gave a snort and tried to open the Gate of Heaven Influence again.
Earth Count seemed a little furious. He turned his head and refused to look at them. Divine King Lang Wo and Shu Jun were stunned. They wondered why Earth Count didn't make a move to kill them.
Qin Mu heaved a sigh of relief. He whispered, \”Earth Count gave me some face and pretended not to see us. Let's quickly leave!\”
