In the early years, they worshipped it as a divine object.
Later, when the Primeval Divine Stone appeared and the Creator himself was a god, they cast the egg into a corner. Who knows when they turned it out again and resumed their rites—and then an ancient god Heavenly Emperor hatched from it! They brought the ruin on themselves. " He shook his head and sighed.
The cracking of that shell had raised the curtain on the destruction of the Creator race.
"Who do you think will strike at you, now that you have left the Heavenly Court? " Divine King Langwo asked. "Just now Yuanmu said that Heavenly Venerable Hao cannot sit still. Besides him, who else might lay hands on you? " Yun Chuxiu poked her head in, laughing, "We're entering the spirit-energy transfer bridge! What are you two talking about? " Shen Mu steadied his mind and looked out the window at the roaring streams of light. "We were saying that after I leave the Heavenly Court, someone will strike at me halfway.
Lady Yuanmu, do you think there is anyone who intends to kill me this time?
" "Don't call me Yuanmu," Yun Chuxiu said.
"I'm Yun Jianli's sister now, and I've come down with you to the mortal world to look for my brother.
" She thought for a moment, then said, "Every Heavenly Venerable seems to have a reason to act, even I have a reason to slay you now that you've left the Heavenly Court. But the Heavenly Court holds many secrets you don't know.
The one you've hurt worst is not actually Hao, but the Great Emperor. He was hiding nice and safely, and then you said the Great Emperor is right among us—I think he won't sit still.
" Shen Mu said, puzzled, "If you can guess that the Great Emperor will act, the other Heavenly Venerables should be able to guess it too. Would the Great Emperor still come for me? " Yun Chuxiu blinked, and after a moment said slowly, "The Heavenly Court has an eleventh Heavenly Venerable, but he has been dead for over forty thousand years.
Back then, it was he who used the ancient god Heavenly Emperor's body to ambush and slay Heavenly Venerable Ling, and was trapped to death by Ling within a divine art. After forty thousand years, his body should not yet have rotted.
If he is the Great Emperor—if the Great Emperor truly still lives—then this body of his will set out. " She smiled. "Using that body to kill you, no one could see through his true face. " Shen Mu's mind shook violently, and he let out a turbid breath. "How clever.
If this eleventh Heavenly Venerable's body leaves the Heavenly Court, then surely he cannot hide it from your eyes and ears; and so, you all. .
. " Yun Chuxiu shook her head. "His body is not in the Heavenly Court. " Shen Mu blinked. Yun Chuxiu giggled. "He is buried in the Yuan Realm.
I told you long ago to go to the Eastern Extremity first, but you insisted on the Yuan Realm—isn't that just going to your death?
" Shen Mu's mind roared. Abruptly the treasure chariot lurched to a stop, and Demon King Dutian's voice came: "Sect Master, we've reached the Yuan Realm! "
