Chapter 982 — The Stubborn Elder Brother

Beside Shen Mu, Luo Wushuang was alarmed and was about to charge into the room, but Shen Mu raised a hand to block him, signaling that he should not act rashly. Shen Fengqing said, "Once you're trapped in a room, it's hard to get out.

I've heard the old ancestor was once trapped in there too and took years to escape. Those Creators are wicked, but they taste good. .

. " He was scattered in speech and jumped from thought to thought, but fortunately Shen Mu came from the same root as he, and Shen Mu's own thinking was just as jumpy, so he could easily grasp his meaning.

"Then how does one get to Carefree Village?

" Shen Mu asked.

"There are three houses there," Shen Fengqing said.

"The middle house is the road to Carefree Village.

" Shen Mu was doubtful. The middle house was the road to Carefree Village?

Heaven Venerable Xu and Fire Heavenly Venerable had already entered the middle house—how had they not found Carefree Village but instead run into enemies?

"Don't go in yet," Shen Fengqing continued. "Close the door first. When Father and Mother went there, they closed the door, opened and closed it several times in a row, and then opened it—and within the door was Carefree Village. I didn't remember the exact sequence of opening and closing.

Wait a moment; I'll go ask Father and Mother!

" His figure vanished, presumably to ask Qin Hanzhen and his wife. Shen Mu stood before the middle house and looked in. Within, the lamps were bright, yet he could not see Heaven Venerable Xu or Fire Heavenly Venerable; he could only hear the clash of divine powers and sense the auras of the two Heavenly Venerables.

Shen Mu looked carefully. The room was simply furnished; the lamplight had probably been visualized, like a small sun floating at the center of the room.

On the wall facing the door was a mural. Besides the mural, there was also a table with a potted plant on it.

The mural caught Shen Mu's attention. He looked closely—it was not a mural at all, but a world!

The Creators had little skill in art; they relied mainly on visualization. Yet the painting on the wall was of fresh mountains and clear waters, as real as anything, with countless human figures and giant beasts within it. It clearly had not been painted by the Creators but was a world visualized into being. That world seemed to hang on the wall, but in truth it was vast.

Heaven Venerable Xu and Fire Heavenly Venerable must have entered the world in the mural and encountered enemies there. "Naughty little brother, I've found out!

" Shen Fengqing's projection reappeared in his Primordial Embryo Divine Treasury.

"It's not a matter of opening and closing the middle door; all three doors must be closed and opened, and they must be closed and opened in different orders. First, look: does the middle room have a mural? " Shen Mu nodded. "Don't go in.

Inside is the World of Reincarnation.

Once you go in, you will reincarnate, you will no longer know friend from foe, and your own people will slaughter each other until blood flows like a river. " Shen Fengqing seemed to be listening to something.

After a moment, he continued, "Now go to the left room and see whether there is a table and a candlestick. " Shen Mu went to the left room, looked it over, and shook his head.

"Inside is a young lady's chamber, with only a bed and a sword hanging before the bed. " Shen Fengqing said, "Close the door first, then open it, and stop when you see a table and a candlestick in the room.

" Shen Mu did as told and stepped forward, closed the door, then pushed it open again—and was dumbfounded. The scene in the room had changed completely; the sky of the Origin Realm appeared, and outside the door was the Primordial Tree, on which stood layer upon layer of palaces.

Many divine beings stood before the palaces, guarding them.

Seeing a door suddenly appear in the sky, those divine beings were startled and hastily shouted, activating their divine weapons and charging over. Shen Mu hurriedly closed the door and opened it again; directly before him was a huge eye burning with demonic fire! The eye rolled about, its gaze falling on Shen Mu, and then from the great hall deep within the demonic eye walked a figure of Tubo, who stood on the terrace and peered over with a puzzled expression.

Shen Mu closed the door and opened it once more; inside were more palace halls, along with a lake, and some beautiful goddesses were bathing and frolicking in the lake, stark naked. "A wicked man is peeping!

" The goddesses shrieked, jumped out, grabbed their clothes from the shore, hugged them to their chests, and fled naked, leaving behind a stretch of white, plump buttocks. "It's Heaven Venerable Mu spying on us!

" "The wretch! Does he not know this is His Majesty's seraglio?

How dare he peek at the imperial concubines bathing? Go at once and inform His Majesty, and have this wretch taken to the God-Slaying Platform and beheaded!

" .

. .

Shen Mu's face flushed red, his mind full of white buttocks, and he hurriedly shut the door.

When he opened it again, the world behind the door changed yet again—a colossal azure dragon, who knew how many thousands of li long, was embracing a magnificent mountain, eyes closed, using the mountain to grind its teeth. The dragon seemed to sense something.

Startled, it hurriedly opened its eyes, but Shen Mu had already shut the door.

"This door is too bizarre. How can it connect to so many places? That was the Azure Dragon Emperor, wasn't it? " Shen Mu opened the door, and at last there appeared a table and a candlestick within.

Shen Fengqing's voice came, "Now go to the right room, open and close its door, and when a lotus flower appears in the room, close the door.

" Shen Mu went to the right room and did as instructed. He closed the door, and when he opened it, voices came screaming from inside: "That shameless Heaven Venerable Mu is right there, peeping at the imperial consorts bathing!

" Shen Mu immediately saw a crowd of gaily dressed but furiously angry girls rushing toward him.

He hastily shut the door, thinking, "Why is it again the Heavenly Emperor's bedchamber? "
