1039 The Descent of the Hall of Fragrance (1/2)
Qin Mu's expression sank as he coldly asked, ”This is you and South Deity's idea?”
Red Deity Qi Xiayu was visibly perplexed. ”This was Celestial Venerable Yue's idea too. Celestial Venerable Mu, you are the Invincible Great Wizard. You shouldn't be so nervous since Heaven Duke and Earth Count are still alive to resurrect South Deity and allow her to get rid of the restraints of her Great Dao. Isn't this a one-time opportunity gifted by the heavens?”
”An opportunity gifted by the heavens?”
Qin Mu was so angry that he laughed as he sat on his throne, visibly tired. He disappointingly said, ”An opportunity from the heavens? You dare to say that when you all didn't discuss it with me? My resurrection technique isn't omnipotent. There are magic powers that can restrain my resurrection in this world, and they are all in the hands of the celestial heavens' ten Celestial Venerables…”
Red Deity Qi Xiayu's expression changed greatly.
Qin Mu had ordered the Heavenly Dragon Treasure Carriage to rush towards the forbidden zone of the South Pole.
'The Grand Emperor's Grand Overarching Consciousness Heaven, the celestial heavens' Hall of Fragrance, Celestial Emperor's forbidden zone, and Celestial Empress and Yuanmu's Ruins of End can all resist my soul summon. If they hide your soul in the Great Void, I won't be able to find it either.'
Qin Mu sat in the carriage, frustrated. 'Are you sure that I can revive you, South Deity?'
There was no way he wouldn't be furious. South Deity Vermillion Bird was one of the few ancient gods whom he had great relations with. Their friendship was only exceeded by the one he had with Heaven Duke and Earth Count.
When Qin Mu returned to the first year of the Dragon Han Era, the first ancient god he met was South Deity Vermillion Bird. They had an enjoyable conversation on the boat, and Vermillion Bird recognized him as his brother.
Later on, when Qin Mu lost his place in the celestial heavens after beating up Celestial Venerable Hao, he hid in Vermillion Bird's celestial palace.
Besides, she was the first ancient god who knew about the Heaven Alliance.
When Qin Mu was on the ghost ship and stole the four deities' power, which he was arrested for, it was South Deity Vermillion Bird who pushed for their release. This allowed them to be freed from the ghost ship.
His relationship with Heaven Duke and Earth Count was like one between seniors and juniors. His relationship with South Deity Vermillion Bird was like one between brothers and sisters.
He knew her plan. She wanted to use this opportunity to get rid of her ancient god body and be reborn so she would no longer be restrained by the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, like Goddess of Heavenly Yin.
Qin Mu was angry because when she did it, she didn't discuss it with him. She thought that the Invincible Great Wizard, Qin Mu, was omnipotent and that he could revive her!
To her, this situation with the ten Celestial Venerables was the best timing to die by their hands while killing all of the gods and devils the celestial heavens placed in the South Pole. It was killing two birds with one stone.
'This opportunity is also the best timing to strike the ancient gods and me down!'
Qin Mu clenched his fist and teeth. South Deity Vermillion Bird wanted to use this time to be resurrected and get rid of the Great Dao restraints. The celestial heavens also wanted to use this opportunity to suppress her soul so that she couldn't be revived!
The ten Celestial Venerables would surely use this opportunity to prove to everyone, including the ancient gods, that the Invincible Great Wizard, Qin Mu, wasn't someone the ancient gods could rely on!
They had enough ways to suppress Qin Mu's magic to prevent Qin Mu from reviving dead ancient gods.
'They have four or five ways to suppress my resurrection. However, the Grand Emperor can't use his Ultimate Void, or else he will give himself away. Celestial Empress and Yuanmu can't use their Ruins of End either, for fear of giving themselves away. Celestial Emperor's forbidden zone also can't be used. Therefore, the only thing that can be used is the Hall of Fragrance.'
Qin Mu looked forward as cold sweat burst from his forehead.
The celestial heavens' Hall of Fragrance was where the tattered soul of Celestial Venerable Yu was suppressed. When he tried to summon Celestial Venerable Yu's soul, he couldn't summon it out of the Hall of Fragrance.
Even when Earth Count personally searched for Celestial Venerable Yu's soul, he couldn't enter the Hall of Fragrance!
The Hall of Fragrance was one of the celestial heavens' 72 throne halls. The ten Celestial Venerables would definitely use it to suppress South Deity Vermillion Bird's soul so that Qin Mu's divine art would be ineffective, meaning she would die completely!
'Hopefully, this is only a conjecture. Hopefully, the Hall of Fragrance is still in the celestial heavens and hasn't been sent to the South Pole.'
The carriage's speed was pushed to the extreme. Qin Mu looked back and saw the Vermillion Bird Celestial Palace collapsing. The annihilation of the oldest celestial palace was set. It was certain that the South Pole had lost its master.
Even if he could revive South Deity Vermillion Bird, she would no longer have control of this place.
Besides, she might not even be able to be revived!
Boom—
The sky shook violently as a celestial river thousands of miles wide appeared above the South Pole. It was filled with torrents that twisted space as it drove past suns. Countless large ships floated on it.
Unlike normal rivers, the celestial river's surface was like a disk, like two plates clasped together. There was no up or down for the celestial river, so on both sides of it, countless large ships sped on.
That was the Celestial River Navy!
The celestial heavens linked various large heavens, so the Celestial River Navy had been the army of the celestial heavens with the most gods and devils for a million years!
All this time, it was the Celestial River Navy that led the effort to quell the rebellions of the various heavens and the eras that were created!
The Heaven Han Celestial Heavens, Crimson Light Celestial Heavens, High Emperor Celestial Heavens, and Founding Emperor Celestial Heavens all perished under the Celestial River Navy!
Qin Mu looked up and saw the celestial river splitting itself like an incredibly large nine-tailed fox that was extending its tail, but one with way more than nine tails.
Hundreds of its tributaries flooded towards various parts of the South Pole as large boats sailed on them. The water extinguished the blazing flame of the South Pole, and countless of its gods and devils were slaughtered.
This was a one-sided massacre.
The celestial heavens' war machine was activated, and it took little effort to defeat the South Pole!
This was what the celestial heavens had been hiding for a million years!
Another dozen of its tributaries came to the front of Qin Mu, and boats descended from the heavens towards the brightest flame of the South Pole.
Qin Mu retracted his gaze.
Finally, the treasure carriage reached the forbidden zone of the South Pole.
The Great Dao multi-colored light boiled as a giant sacrificial altar made out of flames rose on the horizon. That wasn't a sacrificial altar but a mirage formed by the light.
The Great Dao multi-colored light formed a bird-nest like structure up top, which was extremely large. When looking from afar, one could see its blazing holy flames as if it was forming a vermillion bird spreading its wings and rising.
