Chapter 671 — This Is Not My Fat Dragon

Shen Mu, with a genial expression, helped him to his feet—though in truth he could hardly lift the man at all, it was merely a gesture of peace. Crimson Brightness Divine Son panicked and cried, "Don't touch me! My bones are broken!"
Shen Mu promptly let go and said with a solemn face, "What happened between us was merely a misunderstanding. I misunderstood that Your Highness meant to kill me, and Your Highness misunderstood that I intended harm to the Suspended Void Realm—hence this conflict. Heaven be thanked, the misunderstanding is now resolved, and mercifully there were no casualties."
Crimson Brightness Divine Son's eye twitched. No casualties? Are you blind? I'm lying on the ground—can you not see me? So many Crimson Brightness warriors dead and wounded—can you not see them? Even the Holy Mountain has lost a peak, and the Holy Hall has been torn apart!
Shen Mu glanced this way and that, addressing both the Crimson Brightness gods and demons hovering in the air—those who wished to approach yet dared not—and Crimson Brightness Divine Son alike: "I recently encountered the Crimson Emperor. He saw that my aptitude and comprehension were extraordinary, took a liking to my talent, and therefore transmitted to me the Three Primal Gods' Indestructible Divine Consciousness Sutra."
At these words, an uproar swept through the air, and Crimson Brightness Divine Son was struck with astonishment and doubt.
The Three Primal Gods' Indestructible Divine Consciousness Sutra was created by the Crimson Emperor. Since the Crimson Emperor's disappearance, it had been lost to the world. Even what the Bright Emperor cultivated was not this doctrine, but a new path he had blazed himself—the Flawless Creation Mystic Sutra.
—The Flawless Battle Divine Art that Ban Gongcuo cultivated was derived from the Flawless Creation Mystic Sutra.
The Bright Emperor had once attempted to complete the Three Primal Gods' Indestructible Divine Consciousness, yet he remained powerless to do so to the end. This was because the two Emperors of the Crimson Brightness Era each excelled in different domains: the Crimson Emperor excelled in primal spirit creation but was not highly accomplished in physical body creation, while the Bright Emperor excelled in physical body creation but was not highly accomplished in primal spirit creation. Thus in the Crimson Emperor's era, divine beings were renowned for their three-headed, six-armed primal spirits; in the Bright Emperor's era, they were renowned for their three-headed, six-armed physical bodies. One was strong in primal spirit, the other strong in physical body—each had their extraordinary qualities, yet each had glaring flaws.
The Bright Emperor had once said that if he could obtain the Crimson Emperor's Three Primal Gods' Indestructible Divine Consciousness, the doctrines of the Crimson Brightness Era could advance a great step forward and reach unprecedented heights. Yet alas, the Crimson Emperor had vanished without a trace.
The reason Crimson Brightness Divine Son frequently visited the Holy Hall was not only to offer sacrifices to the Crimson Emperor and honor his ancestors, but also to obtain the Three Primal Gods' Indestructible Divine Consciousness through the Crimson Emperor's brain. But how could the Crimson Emperor transmit this doctrine—which he had sought in vain for fifty thousand years—to an outsider? Could the Crimson Emperor's breadth of mind truly be so vast that he had cast aside all prejudice of kind?
"The Crimson Emperor instructed me that the Three Primal Gods' Indestructible Divine Consciousness is a doctrine of the Crimson Brightness Era and must be returned to the people of the Crimson Brightness Era."
