Chapter 1072 — Glass Is Fragile After All

Though it places no restriction on us, once I return to the future I can borrow the Book of Covenant to judge the true selves of Hong Tianzun and Xiao Tianzun. No matter how they hide their identities, they cannot fool me. " The little Tu Bo he had visualized was incomparably weak, yet the Book of Covenant's function was great.

"Even if they use false names and false identities, before the Book of Covenant it will be useless.

" Shen Mu shifted his gaze from Gu Xiao and Hong and let it fall on Luo Xiao with a strange look, "The only one using his true name is probably this big brother from Taixu.

" He could not help a headache.

Luo Xiao was still too simple. Moreover, the moment of Gu Xiao and Hong's appearance was most strange.

The instant Shen Mu slew the ancient gods of the Five Luminaries and Luo Xiao exposed his identity as a Creator, the two appeared. Clearly, they had both come for these two matters. Shen Mu narrowed his eyes and thought, "In Hong's words he cares much about my slaying the ancient gods of the Five Luminaries, so his aim is not Luo Xiao the Creator but to find out how I could kill ancient gods. And in Gu Xiao's words he cares more about Luo Xiao, so his aim is to learn where Luo Xiao came from and where the remnant Creators hide.

" He had just thought this when Luo Xiao suddenly said earnestly, "My three brothers, to tell the truth, I am indeed a Creator.

This time I was sent out by order to seek whether any Creators still live in this world, and also to find where the Ancestral Court lies.

" Shen Mu frowned and coughed twice heavily. Luo Xiao glanced at him, puzzled, and went on, "I can no longer go to the Heavenly Court, and I do not know whether any Creators remain there.

But Mu Tianzun has already calculated where the Ancestral Court is.

This time our goal is to find the Ancestral Court. Since we are sworn brothers, I cannot hide it from you two.

" Shen Mu sighed inwardly, "Why did the Creators of Taixu send him out?

Are sworn brothers truly brothers? No wonder Luo Xiao would die. I cannot save him. " Gu Xiao and Hong's eyes flickered as they both looked toward Shen Mu, and Hong chuckled, "I never thought Mu Tianzun would actually know where the Creators' Ancestral Court is.

Can it be Mu Tianzun is no human, but a Creator too? " "I am not. It was only by chance that I worked out the bearing of the Creators' Ancestral Court.

" Shen Mu forcibly restrained the urge to give Luo Xiao a beating and said with a smile, "Hong, you care much about the Creators' Ancestral Court too?

" Hong laughed, "My news is quick. I heard that the giants among the ancient gods got no common treasures from the Creators' Ancestral Court, so I am envious. Once I visited the Northern Emperor, and the Xuan Emperor and Wu Emperor invited me to their family treasury.

Laughable that I am a man of wide experience, yet I was stunned! " He praised without end, saying, "The treasures in the Northern Emperor's treasury dazzled the eyes.

Even I was bedazzled, and only then learned their treasures all came from the Creators' Ancestral Court. So I too dream of it, hoping I might make a trip to the Ancestral Court.

" Gu Xiao said gravely, "I never thought Brother Luo bore so heavy a charge.

I greatly revere the Creator race, only I long heard the Creator race was wiped out by the ancient gods, and the ancient gods even erased that inglorious history, which shows their baseness!

To hear you still live in the world eases my heart too. After we find the Ancestral Court and Brother Luo's merit is complete, may we few go with you to pay respects to your clansmen? " Luo Xiao rejoiced to the utmost in his heart, "With the help of these three brothers, I can at last complete the task the clan chiefs entrusted to me! " Shen Mu coughed again, but Luo Xiao had already agreed readily, which drove him wild.

"Pi! To Youdu! " Shen Mu shouted.

The three in the carriage were startled, not grasping his meaning, when Dragon Qilin had already driven the treasure chariot straight through the world barrier between Youdu and the Yuan World and into pitch-dark Youdu. This Heavenly Dragon Treasure Chariot was a rare treasure from a million years later that could shuttle between Youdu and the living world. Years ago, to dodge the divine consciousness the Tai Emperor cast down from the Ultimate Void, Shen Mu had used it once, with Langwan, Shujun and the others in the carriage. Shen Mu gazed at the boundless darkness outside the window, his face shifting between light and shadow.

He had not chosen to leave the Yuan World by the Heavenly River but by Youdu, in order to shake off the Heavenly River Navy and the Nanluo Sect army tracking them. Luo Xiao thought those two armies had come to hunt Hong and Gu Xiao, yet Shen Mu knew those two forces were their men.

It was no hunt at all, but a slaughter of the Creators of Taixu!

Gu Xiao coughed and reminded Shen Mu, "Brother Mu Qing, so far as I know, Tu Bo has a feud with the Creators.

" Luo Xiao grew most anxious and looked toward Shen Mu. Hong sighed, "It will not be easy for Brother Mu Qing to shake off the Nanluo Sect and the Heavenly River Navy.

The Heavenly River pierces all worlds and becomes the Nether River in Youdu. The Nether River winds all the way around Tu Bo and falls into Guixu. I fear the Heavenly River Navy and the Nanluo Sect will pursue us up the Nether River.

" Shen Mu opened the window and leaned out to gaze afar, and indeed he saw the Heavenly River as it was before it was severed.

The Heavenly River flowed from the void of the Yuan World into Youdu and became the Nether River, streaming down around Tu Bo's towering body. The Nether River was grasped in Tu Bo's hand like a winding long whip, ending at last beneath Tu Bo's feet.

In the distance, several paper boats hung with lanterns were sailing this way. It must be that You Tianzun had sensed intruders in Youdu and sent split bodies to inspect, only his cultivation was still weak and he could not catch the Heavenly Dragon Treasure Chariot.

In a million years such a thing could never happen!

Shen Mu feared for You Tianzun's safety and at once ordered Dragon Qilin to leave at full speed, for after all two giants of dreadful origin sat in the carriage.

The Heavenly Dragon Treasure Chariot sped. Gazing far, Shen Mu indeed saw warship after warship appear at the source of the Nether River, for the Heavenly River Navy and the Nanluo Sect had already sailed into Youdu! Shen Mu sliced with his hand, and a Chengtian Gate appeared before the chariot.

The chariot rushed into the gate and, when it appeared again, had come to the outside of the Yuan World.

"How vast Tu Bo truly is.

" Shen Mu praised him, then humbly asked, "My three elder brothers, do you know the origin of the ancient gods?

I have seen many ancient gods, strong and weak, and I am curious about them. " Gu Xiao laughed, "I am human.

How would I know the origin of these ancient beings?

" Hong laughed, "I heard the ancient gods were weapons created by the Creators. The ancient gods rebelled and wiped out the Creator race, then proclaimed abroad that they were born of the great dao of heaven and earth, hiding their own inglorious past.

" Luo Xiao shook his head, "It is not wholly so. By the lore handed down in my Creator race, the ancient gods' origins are in truth of four kinds.

One is egg-born, one is Dao-born, one is sacrifice-born, and one is heaven-and-earth-born. " Shen Mu's interest was kindled at once, saying, "Such origins?

Elder brother might as well speak of them in detail.

"
