1507 Chapter 1501, the crossing of living beings

Qin Mu walked along the palaces of those who had achieved dao. Every time he came across a palace, he would stop to comprehend the mysteries of the Great Dao contained in these treasured palaces, and his harvest was plentiful.

Compared to woodcutter’s thirty-six heavenly palaces and the Great Heavenly Court of the seventy-two treasured palaces, the treasured palaces in the ancestral court of jade capital city didn’t walk the path of innate dao to defend the path of acquired Dao, but the path of innate dao to defend innate dao.

‘If teacher woodcutter’s method can work, it might be able to jump out of the control of the Master of Miluo Palace.’

Qin Mu muttered to himself. Woodcutter’s method was that the seventy-two treasure palaces were the path of Postnatal Dao, while the thirty-six heavenly palaces were the path of Postnatal Dao. Postnatal dao guarded postnatal dao so that they could cultivate to the true heavenly court realm and have a stable foundation.

The two of them seemed to have only the difference of the thirty-six heavenly palaces, but there was a fundamental difference. Woodcutter’s method was to use postnatal dao as the lead while the path of Postnatal Dao was only to assist.

The woodcutter himself didn’t cultivate this method, but imparted it to Jiang Baigui.

Back then, Supreme Emperor Heaven imparted the Dao, and the former Eternal Peace Imperial preceptor ascended the altar. Saint woodcutter asked a few questions, and Jiang Baigui answered them. He obtained the woodcutter’s expectations and allowed him to ascend the altar.

After that, Jiang Baigui used a few years to choose the thirty-six Great Dao that was most suitable for him out of the three hundred and sixty Great Dao of acquired Heaven and chose his own path of cultivation.

Saint woodcutter had only deduced that such a method could cultivate a true heaven court and create a great expert that surpassed ten heavenly venerables. However, as for whether he could cultivate the heaven court, he couldn’t help and could only rely on Jiang Baigui’s own wisdom.

‘third junior brother’s Postnatal Heaven Palace has already been opened and the seventy-two treasure palaces have been cultivated using his own methods, so he doesn’t need to come to Jade capital city anymore. The realm of Jade Capital is no longer a trap for him.’

Qin Mu continued to move forward and couldn’t help sighing ruefully in his heart. His path of cultivation was full of setbacks, but Jiang Baigui’s path of cultivation was already a smooth one.

If Jiang Baigui cultivated to Emperor’s throne realm, he would be the one who had completed the gathering of civilizations in the past million years!

‘strange, ten heavenly venerates have split into two groups.’

He stopped in front of another treasure hall and looked at the traces of battle. He discovered that the ones who had made a move weren’t heavenly venerate vast heaven and the rest, but heavenly venerate dawn, Heavenly Concubine Yan, and the rest.

The ten heavenly venerates were divided into two groups, each fighting on their own. From the footprints they had left behind, one group was led by heavenly venerate vast heaven, and the other group was led by heavenly venerate dawn.

‘The ten heavenly venerates are split. Strange, from the footprints, there’s only nine heavenly venerates, and Heavenly Concubine Qiang isn’t among them...’

Qin Mu made his own judgment. The ten heavenly venerates were circling around the treasure halls on the outside, trying to figure out the Great Dao contained in them. Clearly, apart from heavenly venerate vast heaven receiving the guidance of an ‘expert’and understanding the functions of the seventy-two treasure halls.., heavenly venerate dawn also had the guidance of an ‘expert’!

What was strange was that Qing Tianfei didn’t seek refuge with heavenly venerate clear heaven nor did she seek refuge with heavenly venerate clear heaven.

Qing Tianfei was Supreme Emperor, so in terms of emotions and logic, Supreme Emperor wouldn’t seek refuge with anyone. However, supreme emperor was also a fickle person who was very flexible.

If he was excluded from these two groups of people, he would be isolated and helpless, which would be very disadvantageous.

Hence, the oddity lay in Supreme Emperor’s decision to fight one on one!

This was in keeping with his personality.

“They are all trying to sort out the great dao markings of the seventy-two treasure halls before each other and cultivate them into the seventy-two treasure halls.”

Qin Mu’s gaze flickered, and he said in a low voice, “If it were me, I would take away a few treasure halls while comprehending them so that the other party wouldn’t be able to obtain the dao markings of the seventy-two treasure halls and sever their path to heaven.”

Not long after, Qin Mu stood outside a ruin with a livid expression. There were only ruins and broken walls, and there was also a huge pit.

Ten heavenly venerates had taken away the treasure hall just as he had expected!

It was just that he didn’t know if it was heavenly venerate vast or heavenly venerate Xiao.

‘It’s also possible that Consort Qiang Tian took away a treasure hall as the capital to negotiate with other heavenly venerates. However, just by herself, Consort Qiang Tian shouldn’t have the ability... she’s too unscrupulous!’

Qin Mu said angrily and continued forward. Not long after, he came to the ruins of another hall. That Hall had also been taken away by someone and wasn’t here.

Green veins popped up on Qin Mu’s forehead. It was understandable for ten celestial venerables to do such a thing. If one party discovered that the other party had taken away a hall, their intention was obvious. It would be a bargaining chip.., they also wanted to take away a treasure hall that the other party didn’t have time to comprehend.

With that, both sides would hold a treasure hall each, making it impossible for the other party to complete the transaction. In that case, neither side would be at a disadvantage.

Qin Mu composed himself, he sneered. “If I were the tenth heavenly venerate, taking a treasure hall and bargaining with the other party, not being able to take advantage would be a disadvantage. “Therefore, I might as well take a few more treasure halls. That way, I would have more capital, and the other party would have to pay a huge price to exchange with other benefits!”

Not long after, he stood in front of the ruins of another palace with a black face. Apparently, someone among the ten celestial masters had the same idea as him and took the second palace as capital.

“Shameless! But then again, if I were the ten celestial masters, I would try to take all the other palaces that I haven’t comprehended...”

He walked forward, his face getting darker and darker, and the veins on his forehead were bulging.

Sure enough, the treasured palaces had all disappeared, and it was obvious that they had been taken away by heavenly venerate vast heaven, heavenly venerate Xiao, and the rest.

These treasured palaces would become the capital for them to force each other to make deals, and tenth heavenly venerate would be more adept at doing such things than Qin Mu.

Qin Mu didn’t have anything to comprehend on the way, so he could only continue on the path of tenth heavenly venerate. As for the geographical map that Wei Suifeng had given him, he threw it to the back of his mind.

Jade capital city was extremely huge, so it was impossible to tell where the place that Wei Suifeng had marked was.

Suddenly, the sound of surging water came from the front, and Qin Mu’s heart stirred slightly. ‘Chaos River? In that case, I’ve reached the core of Jade capital city!’

The ancestral court of jade capital city was extremely dangerous. Back in the immemorial era, supreme emperor had gathered the strongest experts of that time, and even powerful ancient gods such as heavenly emperor, supreme beginning, to explore this place. However, they had retreated after knowing the difficulty.

However, even though Qin Mu had barged all the way here, he had never encountered any fatal dangers. This was because tenth heavenly venerate had been scouting the path in front of him, and he had swept away all the dangers, it could be said that everything was calm as he barged in.

However, from this point, it could be seen that the current tenth heavenly venerate was much stronger than the existences like Supreme Emperor and supreme beginning.

Finally, Qin Mu saw the river of chaos in front of him.

He looked across the river and couldn’t see anything on the other side.

He sized up the geography nearby and compared it to the map left behind by Wei Suifeng, he couldn’t find anything similar.

‘this river should have changed its course and isn’t at the location on the map. The map given to me by big senior brother is completely useless!’

Qin Mu shook his head and gave up on looking for the markings on the map. He opened the vertical eye between his brows and sized up the river while thinking to himself, ‘how did ten celestial venerables cross the River?’

He looked at the river of chaos, and the vertical eye at the center of his brows instantly saw the scene in the river clearly.

It was a scene of the destruction of the universe. Countless living beings struggled in the great calamity of destruction, wanting to escape, but they were all reduced to ashes in the great calamity of destruction!

Even existences like tenth heavenly venerate didn’t have the slightest ability to resist in the great calamity of destruction. They were directly annihilated and turned into a state of pure energy, shapeless and corporeal!

In the chaos, there were countless powerful beings fighting to cross the river of chaos in an attempt to enter Jade capital city.

Qin Mu’s heart stirred slightly, and he put himself in their shoes. If he were to be in the great calamity of destruction, he would definitely see an extremely spectacular scene when he raised his head.

When the entire universe was collapsing, being crushed, and being stretched, there was chaos all around him. It was a world in destruction and people who were powerless to struggle.

When everyone raised their heads, they would see an ancient and powerful divine city standing in the chaos. No matter how fierce and terrifying the great calamity of destruction was, it wouldn’t be able to shake this divine city in the slightest.

And that divine city was the ancestral court, Jade capital city, under Qin Mu’s feet!

Thinking about it, this was what the people of the universe in the midst of destruction saw!

From Qin Mu’s point of view, these powerful beings were just struggling in the river of chaos in an attempt to get to the shore.

Only in this way could he explain why the strong practitioners in the destroyed universe were all trying their best to swim up the river.

‘The Master of Miluo Palace is amazing, to actually be able to forge such a divine city and survive the great calamity of destruction! However, where is the world tree?’

He swept his gaze across the chaotic river. The eye in the heart of his brows had used Tai Yi’s eggshell, which could see through the Qi of chaos. After searching for a while, Qin Mu finally found the world tree of the ancestral court.

The roots of the world tree were vast and boundless, floating in the destroyed universe like a huge octopus with countless tentacles swimming in the chaos.

There were also many people struggling in the destruction, trying to swim towards the roots of the World Tree, trying to grab hold of the roots.

There were already many powerful existences climbing onto the roots of the world tree. Those powerful existences tried to split the roots apart and merge themselves into the roots, using this to avoid the destruction.

They hid in the roots, using the world tree to save their lives.

As long as the quality of the stowaways could be changed and the quality and energy of the future universe could be stolen, they could use this opportunity to escape from the calamity of destruction and obtain a new life!

However, from Qin Mu’s point of view, the World Tree was on the verge of collapse and couldn’t even protect itself!

He also saw a giant with a tall and sturdy body swinging his axe at the World Tree!

The giant’s body was hazy and looked like a phantom. It should be Tai Yi from the future universe who was cutting down this precious tree that had existed for sixteen universe eras, cutting it down and cutting off the hope of the stowaways!

The strong practitioners from the prehistoric times who had climbed onto the roots of the precious tree cried out and cursed at the Phantom of the Giant. Tai Yi must have gathered all kinds of vicious curses into one body.

“Tai Yi is truly fierce!”

Qin Mu couldn’t help praising it and looked away.

He didn’t have full confidence in crossing this river of chaos. He saw many powerful existences in the river, only bones, souls, or dao fruits left. They were stirring restlessly in the river, they were trying to grab the person who had crossed the river and drag him into the water to get him onto the shore.

If he fell into the river, he would definitely die!

‘then how did tenth heavenly venerate cross the river?’

Qin Mu looked into the river and suddenly saw the figure of heavenly venerate Xiao in the Qi of chaos. He saw heavenly venerate Xiao stepping on a dao tree and using the dao tree as a boat to sail to the other side of the river!

His gaze looked into the distance and his heart jumped. The ten celestial masters were all in the river!
