1059 The Grand Emperors Pas (1/2)
Luo Xiao was extremely puzzled. He caught up and said, ”This is a very dangerous place, and we can't simply walk in casually. It's best if I lead the way!”
Qin Mu blocked him and smiled. ”Dangerous? From what?”
Luo Xiao was slightly stunned. Strangely, after they entered the Grand Primordium Divine Stone mine, they didn't encounter any of the rumored dangers. On the contrary, it was abnormally quiet.
'Could it be that the chiefs were just making casual remarks and, in fact, there aren't any dangers in the mine?' He was puzzled.
Gu Xiao and Da Hong walked side by side. The Heavenly Dragon Treasure Carriage followed them at the rear. Yan'er stood on the treasure carriage with her lantern, illuminating their path.
Da Hong turned back and smiled. ”Brother Mu, Brother Luo, please keep close.”
Qin Mu had no choice but to catch up. Luo Xiao hesitated and said, ”I still want to take a look and see whether there are spirits of my ancestors in the depths of the void…”
Gu Xiao turned back and smiled. ”The nineteenth void is guarded by the void beast mother, and your consciousness is unable to penetrate the nineteenth void. Old Brother Luo, there's no need to be impatient.”
Luo Xiao thought about it and believed this must be the case. The void beast mother was strong and powerful. When his consciousness reached the nineteenth void, it would be detected by her and be consumed.
Around them, rays of light wandered between the grass and trees. Luo Xiao looked around and muttered, ”Strange, this place is exactly like the chiefs described, but why isn't it dangerous? This place is the Grand Primordium Divine Stone mine. When the consciousness in the mine encounters people's thoughts, it will turn into illusions one after another. Even the most powerful masters of creation might fall for it…”
Qin Mu's gaze landed on the backs of the two walking in front. He reminded him, ”Maybe there are powerful existences that can suppress the mine.”
Luo Xiao was astonished. His gaze landed on the golden coffin in front as he said solemnly, ”What you're saying is, the person in the golden coffin is so powerful that he can suppress the mine? Who would have such a level of cultivation? Could it be…”
His eyes brightened as he clapped his hands abruptly. ”I know, it's the Grand Emperor! His corpse is in the golden coffin!”
He said excitedly, ”I heard from the chiefs that the Grand Emperor died in the battle of the Blood Rust Zone. It has to be that the ancient Celestial Emperor was worried he would come back to life, so he ordered his men to suppress his corpse here! The Grand Emperor is finally dead!”
Gu Xiao's voice traveled over from the front, and he faintly said, ”The Grand Emperor possesses the most powerful consciousness in history. How could he die? I heard, during the battle of the Blood Rust Zone, the Grand Primordium Origin Stone in the heart of his brows shattered, but he didn't die. After which, he became a miserable stray dog, hiding from place to place in a state of anxiety.”
Da Hong laughed. ”I have also heard that Celestial Emperor defeated the Grand Emperor through dishonorable methods. The one that shattered the Grand Primordium Origin Stone wasn't Celestial Emperor but the wife of the Grand Emperor, Divine King Gong Yun. Also, Celestial Emperor burned his bridge after crossing it. He killed Divine King Gong Yun after he defeated the Grand Emperor in order to maintain his image.”
Luo Xiao blinked his eyes and smiled. ”My two brothers, where did you hear all of this? Even I, a master of creation, am not aware of this. My village elders and chiefs haven't mentioned this before.”
The two didn't answer but continued walking forward.
Luo Xiao was suspicious.
After a long time, they finally arrived beside the eight ancient gods' corpses.
They floated up in the air and came to the side of the golden coffin.
Gu Xiao and Da Hong both looked at the golden coffin with a faint gaze, but they didn't say anything.
Qin Mu and Luo Xiao walked over as the dragon qilin followed behind. Yan'er continued to stand on the carriage, carrying her lantern.
Da Hong smiled faintly. ”The ancient Celestial Emperor brags that he is a just and righteous person. Yet, he made use of the Grand Emperor's wife, Gong Yun. He must have promised her a lot of things, like the survival of her people. However, to maintain his reputation, he had to kill Gong Yun. Not just her, he would have had to get rid of the eight ancient gods who delivered the coffin here.”
He raised his head and looked at Gu Xiao with scorn. ”The Grand Primordium Divine Stone mine was the best way to kill off these eight ancient gods. Celestial Emperor was originally an egg from this mine, so he understands how terrifying this mine is. When he ordered the eight ancient gods to bring the coffin here, he was actually using the power of the mine to kill off these insiders!”
Gu Xiao gave a sound of acknowledgment and said plainly, ”I heard that the Grand Emperor was ruthless and cruel. He was worried that the masters of creation might produce another Grand Emperor and thus decided to kill off his and Divine King Gong Yun's tribe, even planning to exterminate every master of creation. His wife, Gong Yun, was so heartbroken that she had an affair with Celestial Emperor and had a son.”
Da Hong's pupils contracted. ”The Grand Emperor was indeed betrayed by Gong Yun. However, even after she shattered his Grand Primordium Origin Stone, he didn't hurt her. On the contrary, Celestial Emperor betrayed Gong Yun and killed her!”
At that moment, the two of them didn't care about Luo Xiao, Qin Mu, and the rest. Clearly, given how things had progressed, they had already determined each other's identities and decided to have a showdown to battle to their deaths!
Luo Xiao was stunned. He shook his head and asked Qin Mu, ”Are the human race and demon race so ancient? They seem to know about the things that happened during the ancient primordial era.”
The corners of Qin Mu's eyes twitched. He was resisting the urge to beat him up and make him smarter.
Da Hong and Gu Xiao extended their arms and grabbed the coffin, preparing to open it.
Qin Mu took a step back.
The coffin was opened by the two. However, they remained looking at each other, not wanting to miss each other's expressions.
Qin Mu gritted his teeth, unable to suppress the curiosity in his heart. He summoned his courage and peered into the coffin.
The coffin was huge, and the woman inside was a giant. She laid inside with her eyes shut, as though she was sleeping.
The eye at the heart of her brows had been dug out by someone. There was a dark red patch across her chest, which should have been the fatal wound that killed her. Without her eye at the heart of her brows, the power of her consciousness divine arts was greatly weakened.
She died at the hands of someone close to her. The one who killed her must have had a close relationship with her, hence being able to dig out her eye when she was unguarded, causing her power to decrease substantially.
That person was very kind to her and had her groomed after her death. She was dressed in the most gorgeous clothes, with a phoenix crown on her head, looking like a dignified empress.
There was a flower in her hand. Even now, it hadn't withered, and it was still held close to her chest, blocking the fatal wound precisely.
Da Hong chuckled. ”My three brothers, Celestial Emperor deserves to die. Am I right?”
Qin Mu felt a chill down his spine. He stepped back and coughed. ”Brother Luo, let's go find the spirits of your ancestors!”
Luo Xiao wanted to go forward. ”I haven't seen Divine King Gong Yun before. I would like to take a look first…”
”Don't!”
Qin Mu was furious and dragged him away.
Luo Xiao got a fright and laughed. ”Brother Mu, you are the most junior brother, but you lecture me as though I'm your son. If you don't want me to take a look, I won't. Why do you have to be so fierce?”
At that moment, Da Hong's voice traveled over. ”Celestial Emperor, hehe, or should I call you Tai Chu? Back then, when I dug you out together with the Grand Primordium Origin Stone, I detected an extremely powerful lifeform in the egg. A lifeform more ancient than us, the masters of creation.”
Luo Xiao was stunned. Suddenly, he shuddered several times, his face revealing a look of disbelief.
