1021 The Reverse Side That Disappeared (1/2)
Not many of the ten Celestial Venerables of the celestial heavens knew that the eggshell was in Qin Mu's hands. After all, the day he stole the eggshell, he had fooled almost every Celestial Venerable except Celestial Venerable Yan.
The ten Celestial Venerables didn't know who stole Celestial Emperor's eggshell. However, they were very familiar with the abilities of Celestial Venerable Yan's white cat. The white cat had seen the man who impersonated Celestial Emperor to steal the eggshell and had the power to determine the identity of the man that was in Celestial Emperor's corporeal body.
As long as they monitored the white cat, they could track down Celestial Emperor's eggshell by following the clues.
In other words, Celestial Venerable Xiao and the rest weren't actually monitoring Qin Mu but Celestial Venerable Yan's white cat.
When the cat came to look for Qin Mu, he did so in secrecy, taking advantage of the cover of night. However, he had long fallen into the crosshairs of Celestial Venerable Xiao and the rest. When the white cat left hastily, it would naturally trigger the Celestial Venerables to fight over him.
Above the Heavenly Dragon Treasure Carriage, Qin Mu watched the battle unfold in the sky. He frowned and muttered, ”I should have given Celestial Emperor's eggshell to the white cat. Only the real eggshell will provoke the ten Celestial Venerables into completely falling out with each other. When the Celestial Venerables finish their battle, they will realize that the white cat doesn't have the eggshell. They will then begin to suspect me. With that, the relationship among them will return to a peaceful, balanced state.”
Divine King Lang Wo laughed and said, ”Holy infant, you are wrong if you think this way.”
Qin Mu asked humbly, ”What does Divine King Sister think?”
”After their battle over the cat, regardless of whether the white cat lives or dies, the infighting of the ten Celestial Venerables will never be quelled.”
Divine King Lang Wo said, ”When information is transparent, they will suspect you. However, when information is opaque, they will suspect each other. Now, the white cat has changed hands several times between the four great Celestial Venerables. Within this period of time, there's a possibility that anyone could have already gotten their hands on Celestial Emperor's eggshell. As such, even though none of them have the eggshell, they will end up suspecting that the others have it. This is simply information chaos.”
Qin Mu blinked.
”When information is chaotic, one will only receive one-sided information. This will lead people to suspect each other.”
Divine King Lang Wo said unhurriedly, ”Although the white cat of Celestial Venerable Yan is an expert of the Numinous Sky Realm, he's unable to see through the thing created by the holy infant's consciousness. He confidently thought that he had gained the treasure. When the Celestial Venerables are fighting over him, the thing created by the holy infant's consciousness will turn into nothingness. He will believe that it was taken away by the other Celestial Venerables. Even if he survives, he will be mired within the chaotic state of information. The holy infant conversely will be free of this and can peacefully watch this conflict from the sidelines.”
Qin Mu fell into deep thought as the Heavenly Dragon Treasure Carriage galloped into the distance.
”Apart from the four Celestial Venerables, the rest of the Celestial Venerables will join in this scramble, causing information to get more chaotic. As to who Celestial Emperor's eggshell ends up with, that isn't important.”
Divine King Lang Wo looked outside the window and said, ”The fifth Celestial Venerable has already made his move. After this battle, the cracks between the Celestial Venerables will be beyond repair.”
The sky was covered with darkness. It seemed that Celestial Venerable Xu had made his move.
Following this, the figure of the sixth Celestial Venerable appeared and joined the battle for the cat.
One of the Celestial Venerables managed to get ahold of the white cat, carrying him as he disappeared beyond the horizon. The other Celestial Venerables consecutively disappeared, seemingly pursuing that Celestial Venerable.
This was the battle where the Celestial Venerables officially fell out with each other!
Qin Mu retracted his gaze and said, ”Is the Primordial Realm the ancestral court that Divine King Sister is looking for?”
Divine King Lang Wo also retracted her gaze. She shook her head and said, ”No, Yuandu is the birthplace of Mother Earth, not the ancestral court of the masters of creation. In the ancient memory of the race of masters of creation, the ancestral court was more fertile, with abundant produce, talents, and treasures. However, due to the many tribulations that our race has been through, the information passed down is sparse.”
Qin Mu pondered for a while and said, ”Could it be on the reverse side of the Primordial Realm? No one has ever been there, but it should be vast and expansive, not smaller than the Primordial Realm.”
Divine King Lang Wo asked, ”Has holy infant ever been to the reverse side of the Primordial Realm?”
Qin Mu shook his head and laughed. ”The furthest I've been in the Primordial Realm is the Ruins of End. What's on the reverse side of the Primordial Realm, I don't know. This Heavenly Dragon Treasure Carriage is pretty fast. Why not make a trip there to take a look?”
Divine King Lang Wo nodded and agreed.
Qin Mu immediately ordered the six heavenly dragons that were pulling the treasure carriage to gallop towards the East Sea.
The treasure carriage was as swift as wind and lightning, moving at unparalleled speed. It left a stroke of bright light in the sky as it charged across it. After more than ten days, Qin Mu looked outside and saw that there was no end to the sea. He couldn't help but be anxious.
The Heavenly Dragon Treasure Carriage was able to travel much faster than him. He would have taken six months to reach where they were today. However, they hadn't seen the end of the Primordial Realm. Instead, they saw many broken pieces of land on the surface of the sea.
'We should be reaching the Ruins of End soon,' Qin Mu thought.
The treasure carriage continued forward and went past the Ruins of End. After flying for another ten or so days, Qin Mu looked into the distance. A vast piece of land had appeared ahead, seemingly stretching forever as it surrounded the sea. On it were many divine mountains, which looked extremely steep.
'Could this be the end of the Primordial Realm?'
Qin Mu was delighted. The Heavenly Dragon Treasure Carriage flew over these mountains. The top of the mountains were covered with pure white snow. It was extremely frozen and devoid of life. After flying over the block of seemingly continuous snow mountains, Qin Mu looked down and saw the vast West Earth below.
Qin Mu was stunned. He looked back and saw that the ocean of the Primordial Realm was still flat and not spherical. But they crossed the great sea and arrived straight at West Earth!
This was almost impossible!
He used to fly beyond the skies of the Primordial Realm with Bai Qu'er. When he looked at the Primordial Realm from beyond the skies, it was basically a flat surface, not a planet.
In that case, when they headed out towards the East Sea, why did they end up at West Earth instead of reaching the end of the Primordial Realm?
”It seems like the reverse side of the Primordial Realm has been hidden by someone!”
Qin Mu became excited. ”In order to hide the reverse side of the Primordial Realm, space would have to be folded. Specifically, the boundaries of the Primordial Realm would have to be completely folded! The difficulty of this act isn't beneath folding the Primordial Realm and sealing it up! Only the ten Celestial Venerables or the ancient Celestial Emperor at his prime would be able to do this! If so, why did they want to seal the reverse side of the Primordial Realm?”
Divine King Lang Wo looked at him with great curiosity. She saw Qin Mu leave the treasure carriage and fly above the snow mountains, trying to use his magnetism divine art to probe whether there was a seal.
After some time, Qin Mu released his magnetism divine art and shook his head. ”There are no traces of a seal… Open!”
The eye at the heart of his brows opened up and swept around his surroundings, scrutinizing the void. After some time, the eye at the heart of his brows closed. Even his wondrous third eye was unable to detect any sealing of space in this area.
”Primordial Spirit Projection!”
Qin Mu's primordial spirit flew out and burrowed into the earth, heading as deep as it could.
