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.
