1066 Three Celestial Venerables Steal the Treasure, Clear Sun Hall (1/2)
In front, Celestial Venerable Hao held his little banner, and he ruthlessly killed every god and devil that he saw.
He was already very powerful. Although he hadn't reached the Emperor's Throne Realm, he was, after all, the son of Celestial Emperor and Yuanmu. His bloodline power was grand, and his combat capabilities were astounding.
The chambers of concubines fell into chaos at that moment. Powerful gods had already gone to the Jade Capital to defend against Ah Chou. The remaining ones weren't his opponents. They died before they could even see Celestial Venerable Hao's face clearly. Their souls were all kept in the little white banner forged by Son of Heaven Yin.
Celestial Venerable Hao went on while Celestial Venerable Yun followed.
Not long after, Qin Mu, who was following them, was stunned. He saw a treasure hall.
The Hall of Fragrance.
His heart violently pounded, which the two in front felt immediately and at the same time. Celestial Venerable Yun immediately hid, while Qin Mu morphed into a shadow on the ground as if he melted.
Celestial Venerable Hao continued on after seeing nothing.
Soon, Celestial Venerable Yun appeared and looked around. He found nothing too, so he followed Celestial Venerable Hao.
Qin Mu appeared from the shadow and looked at the Hall of Fragrance with a complex expression.
The Hall of Fragrance suppressed the remnants of Celestial Venerable Yu's soul. However, it was the most valued great hall of Celestial Emperor, so there were too many seals and talismans. Even Cripple couldn't enter, which meant he couldn't either.
Qin Mu inhaled deeply and continued following Yun and Hao.
Soon, he encountered the second treasure hall out of the 72, Clear Sun Hall.
Celestial Venerable Hao came to the hall, which was guarded by two qilin ancient gods. They looked serious and sinister. Celestial Venerable Hao walked up to them, and they raised their claws and hollered, ”This is an important ground, please halt, Celestial Venerable!”
Celestial Venerable Hao said with smiles, ”I'm here to check on it upon my father's order, please let me in, Seniors.”
”Order of the emperor? Do you have his decree?”
Celestial Venerable Hao retrieved it and said, ”Please look.”
They were ancient gods bred by ancient divine mountains. They looked at his decree, yet Celestial Venerable Hao suddenly flipped it. It was a mirror at the back, and light exploded from it, which shone on the two qilin ancient gods' primordial spirits.
They were immobilized. Celestial Venerable Hao rose and killed the two of them before taking their primordial spirits. It was then that he felt relieved. He came to the hall and mumbled, ”Mother said that those two treasures must be here. Ah Chou's attack on the celestial heavens is the perfect opportunity for me to steal them. With those treasures, I can rule that primordial species…”
There were countless seals in the front of Clear Sun Hall. Celestial Venerable Hao clearly had the guidance of Mistress Yuanmu on how to break them. He backed off, waved around, and his vital qi became swimming dragons and flying phoenixes that flew towards the seals.
Instantly, countless chains appeared around Clear Sun Hall to seal it.
Celestial Venerable Hao's gaze flashed. He was nervous as he broke all sorts of seals. After a while, he finally broke all of them.
At that moment, his figure became a beam of light as he rushed into the hall.
The seal immediately closed.
As soon as he entered, Celestial Venerable Yun went forward, groaned, and imitated Celestial Venerable Hao's actions. He did everything that Celestial Venerable Hao did!
The way to break Clear Sun Hall's seals was complex. Even geniuses wouldn't be able to learn so many ways to break the seal in such a short time.
Yet, he was able to learn all of it and repeat it perfectly!
He was the first being to reach the Emperor's Throne Realm. His Purple Heavens Blue Skies technique was originally good at imitating others' ultimate arts. His descendant Yun Jianli evolved it and absorbed the essence of reforms throughout the eras to prevent the technique from becoming obsolete.
After Celestial Venerable Yun broke them, the seal opened, and he too rushed into the hall.
As soon as he entered, the seal shut again.
Qin Mu came to the hall and thought about their ways of breaking the seal. He shook his head. 'I didn't remember it completely, but luckily, I have the mirror I forged from the painting path to do it for me.'
He flipped his palm and took out a mirror. It cast light and displayed the ways they broke the seal.
Where the mirror shone, Clear Sun Hall's seal continued opening, which allowed Qin Mu to enter too.
In Clear Sun Hall, Qin Mu fell into nothingness. Clear Sun Hall had no floor, for it was a vast space.
He hastily flew up to prevent himself from falling down.
Then, he noticed all sorts of treasures floating in Clear Sun Hall. They gave off all sorts of treasure light and were obvious.
Outside of treasures, there were palace lanterns.
They floated in the space and were as tall as a person. They suppressed the treasure light. Strangely enough, the lights given off were very orderly.
Qin Mu realized something. 'These palace lanterns are restraints guarding the vault's treasure!'
The treasures floating in Clear Sun Hall were large and pasted with talismans. Nearby, Qin Mu saw a giant ball around sixty feet tall that was so smooth that he found no flaws.
'What is this?'
He wanted to look at it closely, but he heard strange heartbeats coming from it. Qin Mu was surprised. 'This isn't a ball, it's an egg with life in it!'
Before he could reach the front, the palace lanterns glowed. Many lights coalesced and shone towards him.
Qin Mu's figure flashed to dodge the lights. He changed his body thousands of times. It was there that the body techniques Cripple imparted to him shone.
Qin Mu came to that ball's side and placed his palm on it. He instantly felt the heartbeat within becoming a grand Dao voice, and it was as if someone was reciting it within.
'Could it be an ancient god?'
Qin Mu was perplexed. Weren't the ancient gods born during the primordial era? Why was there one still not born yet and sealed there?
At that moment, the light in front became clear as it shot around chaotically. Instantly, all of the palace lanterns were activated. Billions of lights illuminated the palace and made the place almost impossible to hide in!
He wasn't sure whether it was Celestial Venerable Yun or Celestial Venerable Hao that triggered the palace lanterns that sealed the treasures and caused this chain reaction that instantly put everyone inside in danger!
Qin Mu instantly shrank his body to become a small speck of dust, then bounced around the ball to avoid the light. Soon, a light shot out of the heart of his brows, which shone on the nearby lanterns. He stored one of them in the Qin word land.
