Chapter 1222: When Qin Mu Became the Anomaly (Fourth Update)
Although Qin Mu was also just a beginner, he already had his own insights into the true path of reincarnation. He understood why the Netherworld Son of Heaven could only be a Son of Heaven, and not a Heavenly Venerable.
Because the true path of reincarnation required pushing the paths of the Netherworld, the Netherworld Yin, and Creation to their absolute limits, reaching the pinnacle of perfection. Only then could the true path of reincarnation be deduced, allowing one to become a Heavenly Venerable.
Among these, the Netherworld Great Path had sixty-four paths, the Netherworld Yin Path had twelve paths, and the Creation Path was founded by Heavenly Venerable Ling, developed by the two Red Ming Emperors, and its system was even more extensive.
The two Red Ming Emperors, one mastering the creation of the primordial spirit and the other mastering the creation of the physical body, were already top-tier Emperor Throne powerhouses. Besides primordial spirit creation and physical body creation, there were various other forms of creation that had not yet been developed.
The Netherworld Son of Heaven's pioneering of the path of reincarnation was certainly brilliant and extraordinary, but without comprehending these great paths thoroughly, attempting to establish the true path of reincarnation was almost impossible!
"The Netherworld Son of Heaven's talent cannot support his ambition. But if the Netherworld Son of Heaven has such talent, then what about the Ten Heavenly Venerables?"
Qin Mu's heart was heavy. If the Netherworld Son of Heaven was like this, then how terrifying must the Ten Heavenly Venerables be, with their superior talents?
Although the Ten Heavenly Venerables had made moves before, none of them had exerted their full strength or revealed their true capabilities. After a million years, what achievements had each of them made?
Especially Heavenly Venerable Hao. Heavenly Venerable Hao was the master of the Netherworld Son of Heaven, who was utterly loyal to him. Fire Heavenly Venerable was also extremely loyal to Heavenly Venerable Hao.
And Heavenly Venerable Hao was one of the few Dragon Han Nine Heavenly Venerables among the Ten Heavenly Venerables. So exactly what level had Heavenly Venerable Hao's true strength reached?
"I need to re-evaluate the Ten Heavenly Venerables, especially Heavenly Venerable Hao's strength!"
Qin Mu paused, found a secluded spot, entered the Dao in his dreams, and frantically deduced the path of reincarnation.
Although his Netherworld, Creation, and Netherworld Yin paths were all far superior to the Netherworld Son of Heaven's, and he had also derived the Netherworld Son of Heaven's path of reincarnation, he still encountered great difficulties in deducing the path of reincarnation in his dreams.
In his dreams, countless tiny Qin Mus lived and died, reincarnating endlessly. Although progress was slow, he was at least gaining something.
Imperceptibly, within his Divine Treasures, the Demon Path Heavenly Palace, Creation Heavenly Palace, and Netherworld Yin Heavenly Palace resonated with each other. The Dark Primordial Spirit, Creation Primordial Spirit, and Netherworld Yin Primordial Spirit sensed one another, their great paths communicating, converging, and fusing.
Gradually, a new Heavenly Palace was slowly being born, and a new primordial spirit was also slowly evolving.
After who knew how long, the foundation of this new Heavenly Palace was completed. As his path of reincarnation deepened, thousands of palaces and hundreds of halls continuously added bricks and tiles on their own. The South Heaven Gate, North Heaven Gate, East Heaven Gate, and West Heaven Gate slowly rose, growing taller and taller.
Within his Divine Treasures, the Heavenly River bent and flowed through this new Heavenly Palace.
The Dao resonance of this Heavenly Palace also grew stronger and stronger, gradually able to rival the Great Luo Primordial Spirit Heavenly Palace, and even becoming more powerful than the Primordial Spirit Heavenly Palace!
In the Great Void Netherworld, those starving ghosts and soul black sand seemed to be attracted by him, continuously gathering around him, growing more and more numerous, yet not daring to approach.
Howling black tornadoes grew more and more numerous, spinning around him, sweeping up starving ghosts one by one.
The black tornadoes also intertwined, devoured each other, and grew larger. From afar, a hundred or so black tornadoes reached into the sky, extremely thick, frantically swirling around one location, incredibly terrifying.
Hu Mengdie, leading several divine generals, was the first to find this place. Seeing those dark tornadoes, she frowned.
The power of those black tornadoes was extremely terrifying. Lightning and thunder crackled all around, illuminating the scenes within the tornadoes. Within them were countless starving ghosts, swept up by the fierce winds, flailing their arms and legs.
"That Mu Heavenly Venerable is nearby. Could he have sensed our arrival and hidden himself within this dangerous place?"
The divine generals under Hu Mengdie's command each opened their divine eyes, gazing toward that dark region, but they could not see clearly. Their vision could only penetrate the outer darkness, yet within, strange scenes blocked their sight.
Hu Mengdie had the highest cultivation, being an existence at the Lingxiao Realm. She opened her divine eyes and looked toward the center of the darkness, her heart skipping a beat.
In the darkness, she saw worlds blooming outward like bubbles, but then they popped and burst, annihilating. Then new worlds were born, extremely bizarre.
Even she could not tell what terrible thing was inside.
Hu Mengdie gently waved her hand, and the several divine generals escorted her as they sped toward that dark region.
Before long, they stepped into the darkness. The divine generals each released their primordial spirits, and a burst of divine light blazed forth. Their primordial spirits each stood within the Jade Capital City, or before the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, suppressing the darkness.
However, the darkness here was too powerful. The black sand continued to move slowly, leaving their vision a blurry gray, making it difficult to see what lay ahead.
They walked in the darkness for a long time when suddenly the pressure lightened, as if they had passed through a bubble, and brilliant light burst before their eyes.
Hu Mengdie and the others looked around. They saw beautiful mountains and clear waters, bright sun and moon. This world was not large, but what was strange was that circular rainbow lights continuously slid from one end of the world to the other with a hum.
They continued forward, and suddenly stepped on a skeleton.
Hu Mengdie looked down. The skeleton had been dead for who knew how many years. The group exchanged glances, each murmuring a word of caution.
Then, they saw the scene ahead and were horrified.
Before them, countless white bones were piled into a mountain. Many people, coming from who knew where, carried corpses and threw them down from the mountain. Those corpses tumbled and rolled down the slope, their flesh and blood dissolving along the way, turning into white bones.
The group was terrified. Hu Mengdie looked at the corpses that had just been thrown down—they bore the likeness of Qin Mu!
"Mu Heavenly Venerable is dead?"
She was somewhat bewildered. Then she looked at those carrying the corpses, and her heart shook violently—those people were also Qin Mu!
"Everyone be careful, this place is extremely bizarre!"
Just as she said this, another rainbow light came from the horizon, sweeping across the sky.
"Bizarre?"
A divine general beside her laughed: "Who in the myriad worlds doesn't know that our Netherworld Capital is the most bizarre? Our Netherworld Capital's divine powers have created countless bizarre phenomena across the myriad worlds. Are we afraid of the bizarre things here?"
Hu Mengdie frowned slightly and said, "Better to be cautious. We..."
She couldn't finish her words, staring blankly at the divine general beside her. The divine general's face was contorting, changing. It seemed there was another face beneath his skin, desperately trying to grow out from beneath his features, causing two faces to fight over this body!
That Jade Capital Realm divine being, however, seemed completely unaware, still warily scanning his surroundings.
Not only that, Hu Mengdie even saw that within his Heavenly Palace, the primordial spirit's face was also changing!
Suddenly, the Jade Capital Realm divine being's primordial spirit transformed into Qin Mu's face, and his physical body's face also became Qin Mu.
"Who are you?"
That divine being looked at the group, smiling: "Why have you come running into my dream? Ah, I see. You were sent by the Netherworld Son of Heaven to take my life."
Hu Mengdie's hair stood on end. That divine being immediately struck with lethal intent, attacking them.
Although the group was caught off guard, they had numbers on their side. They joined forces and eliminated that divine being.
Hu Mengdie shouted sharply: "It was Mu Heavenly Venerable who created this bizarre zone! Everyone, stay alert, guard your Dao hearts, and do not let your guard down for even a moment!"
