Chapter 1106: Creation Divine Artifact (Fourth Update!)
The Hồ Thiên World was extremely complete, a treasure of the Creator race Tàng Sơn clan, and among the various heavens, it ranked as a higher-tier heaven.
Not only that, the Hồ Thiên Vase was also a divine weapon forged by a Creator. Should war arise, one could activate the Hồ Thiên Vase to kill enemies. Of course, this required an extremely profound mastery of divine consciousness.
Now that Tần Mục had passed down the Creator race's divine consciousness cultivation methods to Diên Khang, the practitioners and deities of Diên Khang had merged techniques like Tam Viên Thượng Thức with the current cultivation system, developing many new divine consciousness cultivation methods.
Đô Thiên Ma Vương only needed to learn the divine consciousness cultivation methods from Diên Khang, then lead his people in day-and-night refinement of the Hồ Thiên Vase. Before long, they would be able to refine it and turn it into a great treasure to protect them!
Đô Thiên Ma Vương was overcome with excitement and immediately entered the Hồ Thiên Heaven to tell his people the good news.
How many years had it been? The Đô Thiên World had been destroyed, countless clansmen had died, they had been displaced, crying to heaven but getting no answer, begging to earth but finding no help, hitting walls everywhere, being ambushed and killed, captured, enslaved. Now at last they had found a place to settle down!
His heart burned hot and fervent, yet he also knew that his merit in conquering the Thiên Vũ World was not enough to earn a heaven like the Hồ Thiên World.
The Hồ Thiên World was even vaster than the Thiên Vũ World. It was because Tần Mục cherished their friendship that he had gifted the Hồ Thiên Vase to him.
Tần Mục questioned Vũ Triệu Thanh in detail. Vũ Triệu Thanh recounted how Đô Thiên Ma Vương had led the Thiên Vũ clansmen to attack the Thiên Vũ World. The Thiên Vũ World had been occupied by the demon race, and the demons happened to counter the Thiên Vũ clan's techniques.
Not only that, the demon gods of the demon race possessed divine abilities to control the Thiên Vũ clan. Even Vũ Triệu Thanh herself could be manipulated.
Đô Thiên Ma Vương did not attack immediately. Instead, using his identity as a demon, he infiltrated the Thiên Vũ World and studied the demon race's techniques. After two years, he thoroughly understood the demons' abilities, comprehended the way to counter them, and taught it to Vũ Triệu Thanh and the others.
Vũ Triệu Thanh promoted it among the clan, prepared for another two years, and only then launched the attack.
Then, within one year, they conquered the Thiên Vũ World. Truly, it was a case of long preparation followed by a thunderous strike, sweeping away the demons there like a force of nature!
Tần Mục listened with rapt attention and praised: "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated. Đô Thiên Ma Vương has the bearing of a great general."
Vũ Triệu Thanh smiled: "It's just that at the beginning, Đô Thiên didn't get along well with the three dragon clan brothers. He was hung up and beaten. Later their relationship improved, and they even saved each other's lives."
Tần Mục laughed heartily, summoned those three heavenly dragons and the other six heavenly dragons, and said: "Will you stay in Diên Khang, or will you return to the Heavenly Court with me? If you return to the Heavenly Court, I will wash away your memories of these past few years and implant new ones. If you stay in Diên Khang, then you can only change your identities and share the fate of Diên Khang, living and dying together."
The nine heavenly dragons transformed into human forms, huddled together to discuss, then said: "We have followed the Heavenly Venerable and know many secrets. If we return to the Heavenly Court, I fear our days would be numbered. Even if the Heavenly Venerable washes away our memories, we would still die because of it. Therefore, we choose to stay in Diên Khang. In the future, we can also seek a position for ourselves."
Tần Mục took out the Book of Life and Death and said: "In that case, I will help you once and erase your names from the Book of Life and Death, so the Heavenly Court cannot trace your whereabouts."
He used the Book of Life and Death to shine upon the nine, activated the U Minh divine ability, and erased the nine's names from this world.
The nine suddenly felt a sense of relief and bowed in gratitude.
"Since I'm returning to the Heavenly Court, I should also return the Lưu Ly Thanh Thiên Tràng to U Minh Thái Tử."
Thinking this, Tần Mục's divine consciousness entered the Tần Tự Continent, intending to take out the Lưu Ly Thanh Thiên Tràng. Suddenly he heard a strange sound and his heart stirred.
At that moment, he saw within the Tần Tự Continent that the ancient god egg on the Lưu Ly Thanh Thiên Tràng was emitting a strange dao sound, while not far away, the bizarre runes on the surface of the Thái Thủy Egg were shifting endlessly, also emitting a wondrous dao sound, as if the two ancient god eggs were communicating with each other!
Tần Mục's hairs stood on end, but he remained expressionless, lifting a treasure from within the Tần Tự Continent and leaving it.
When he came to retrieve the treasure, the sounds from the two massive ancient god eggs immediately ceased and returned to calm.
But after Tần Mục took the treasure, the strange dao sounds from the two ancient god eggs resumed!
Tần Mục's scalp went numb, his heart pounding wildly: "The Thái Thủy Egg and the other ancient god egg have both already developed sentience. The beings inside can communicate with each other! What are they discussing?"
He felt a chill run down his spine.
"I can't hand the Lưu Ly Thanh Thiên Tràng to U Minh Thái Tử yet!"
Tần Mục steadied himself. Two ancient gods not yet born, communicating within their eggs—this could not help but evoke unpleasant associations.
Currently, there was only one egg-born ancient god, and that was the Ancient God Heavenly Emperor. If the ancient gods born from these two eggs were to emerge, wouldn't that mean two more Ancient God Heavenly Emperors?
One Ancient God Heavenly Emperor was already terrifying beyond measure—dead yet not decayed, committing countless evils throughout history.
If these two ancient gods joined forces, the harm they could cause would be even greater and more widespread!
"I can't alarm them yet."
Tần Mục's eyes flickered. He summoned Long Kỳ Lân and Yên Nhi and said: "The heavenly dragons are staying in Nguyên Giới, so I'll have to trouble you two to pull the carriage."
Long Kỳ Lân voluntarily strapped himself into the harness, and Yên Nhi also ran over and strapped herself in, asking: "Young Master, when do we depart?"
Just as Tần Mục boarded the precious carriage, a messenger from the Heavenly Court arrived, reading the Heavenly Emperor's decree summoning Công Tôn Tiên to the Heavenly Court.
These past days, Công Tôn Tiên had been cultivating under Tư Bà Bà to consolidate her cultivation, and had also been learning the Heavenly Court's etiquette from Linh Dục Tú, conducting herself with proper decorum. But now that she was about to go to the Heavenly Court to meet the Heavenly Emperor, she was extremely nervous.
Tần Mục let her board the precious carriage, carrying her and the decree-proclaiming divine official together to the Heavenly Court. He smiled: "You're not nervous when you see me, so there's no need to be nervous about meeting the Ten Heavenly Venerables. In terms of seniority and rank, my position in the Heavenly Court is still above the Ten Heavenly Venerables."
Công Tôn Tiên's palms were covered in cold sweat. Tần Mục held her hand, and only then did the girl gradually calm down.
Tần Mục said in a deep voice: "Depart now! Don't take the Spiritual Energy Transfer Bridge at Nguyên Mộc—go directly through the Spiritual Energy Transfer Bridge outside the capital!"
Yên Nhi acknowledged, and together with Long Kỳ Lân pulled the precious carriage toward that Spiritual Energy Transfer Bridge.
Tần Mục sat in the carriage, thinking of those two ancient god eggs communicating with each other, and his mind was still somewhat unsettled: "It seems I must find the Lăng Thiên Tôn's handwritten notes left by the senior brother. Only by finding Lăng Thiên Tôn's notes can I use the Material Immutability divine ability to reverse-engineer the dao language of the Thái Thủy Egg. Once I know the meaning of the dao language, I'll know what those two ancient god eggs are discussing!"
Yên Nhi and Long Kỳ Lân pulled the precious carriage to the side of the Spiritual Energy Transfer Bridge. Tần Mục asked the decree-proclaiming divine official: "Where does the other end of this bridge lead?"
"Reporting to the Heavenly Venerable, this leads to Tạo Phụ Heavenly Palace."
"Tạo Phụ Heavenly Palace?"
Tần Mục's heart trembled slightly as the precious carriage entered the Spiritual Energy Transfer Bridge.
After a long while, the precious carriage gave a gentle jolt and arrived at the Heavenly Court. Tần Mục pushed open the carriage window and looked outside—there before him was Tạo Phụ Heavenly Palace.
The Heavenly Court's First Imperial Manufacturing Bureau was Tạo Phụ Heavenly Palace!
Although Tần Mục was the Mục Heavenly Venerable of the Heavenly Court, this was his first time here. He observed through the windows on both sides, seeing countless three-headed, six-armed divine beings busily at work, forging and processing heavy divine artifacts. Every hammer strike brought a thunderous sound!
These divine beings were the Heavenly Court's divine artisans. Because they had three heads and six arms, their forging speed was astonishing.
The entire Tạo Phụ Heavenly Palace was a massive manufacturing bureau, with furnaces standing in rows, heavenly flames blazing fiercely, never ceasing day or night. Premium divine materials, divine metals, and divine resources transported from the various heavens were delivered here.
Here were the most capable daoists from the Heavenly Court's Daoist Sect, skilled in numerology, as well as master craftsmen from all the myriad worlds. Just in terms of scale alone, a single Tạo Phụ Heavenly Palace could rival all of Diên Khang's manufacturing bureaus combined!
Suddenly, Tần Mục's pupils contracted sharply. He saw the Creation Divine Artifact located at the center of Tạo Phụ Heavenly Palace.
