" Yan'er fed him candied fruit that the East Emperor had given, and Shen Mu opened his mouth and ate without thinking, murmuring: "Whether the Four Pole Heavens, the Yuan World, or the Heavenly Court, none of them is a small place. What connection is there between the vanishing of these places and the vanishing of the Ancestral Court? " Long Qilin suddenly said: "Cult Master, do you still remember the Desolate Ruins?
" Shen Mu was slightly startled.
Long Qilin went on: "Cult Master, did you not once discover that at the source of the Surging River in the Desolate Ruins, four or five layers of space were stacked together? Later, when the seal on the Yuan World was broken, those stacked spaces unfolded and became the Yuan World of today. Is it possible that the means by which the Yuan World was sealed is similar to the means by which the Ancestral Court was sealed? " Shen Mu pondered for a moment: "Fat Dragon, go on.
" Yan'er hopped over to Long Qilin's side and held the Eastern Pole Heaven candied fruit to his mouth, looking encouraging.
Long Qilin continued: "Is it possible that the reverse sides of the Four Pole Heavens, the Heavenly Court, the Yuan World, Xuandu, and Youdu all still exist, but that the ancient gods, with immense divine power, stacked these reverse sides together to form a three-dimensional spatial seal like the one that sealed the Other Shore Ark, locking the Ancestral Court inside?
" Shen Mu's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands in praise: "Fat Dragon, you truly have great wisdom! " Long Qilin was smug, eating the candied fruit Yan'er brought him; Yan'er was so attentive that she had even tucked spirit pills inside the fruit, which moved him deeply. Shen Mu stood up and clapped his hands: "It is indeed possible! Divine abilities are all passed down in one lineage.
The ability used to seal the Yuan World, to seal the Other Shore Ark, may not be the same as the one used to seal the Ancestral Court, but there may well be an inheritance among them!
" He clasped his hands together and drew them apart, and at once the layout of the Longhan Heavenly Court, the Yuan World, Youdu, Xuandu, and the Four Pole Heavens, even the Tianyin World and Guixu, all appeared, forming an unrolled three-dimensional star map of the great cosmos! The Yuan World lay at the center; Youdu overlapped with the Yuan World and connected to the Four Poles; Xuandu towered above the Yuan World.
Shen Mu looked at the Four Pole Heavens and mused for a moment: "The Heavenly River connects the Four Pole Heavens and the Heavenly Court, yet they do not lie on the same plane. And Guixu, Guixu is not in the Yuan World either, but in another space-time. When I found Guixu, I relied on the spatial arts left by my eldest senior brother, Wei Suifeng.
His spatial arts recorded another spatial dimension. . .
" He paced around the star map of the great cosmos, his eyes fixed on it, calculating ceaselessly. Suddenly he reached out a hand and gently pulled the star map downward, and a funnel-shaped abyss of Guixu appeared beneath the Yuan World. Shen Mu's eyes flickered, and he said softly: "Youdu does not entirely overlap with the Yuan World either. On the contrary, Youdu also connects to the Four Pole Heavens and to all manner of other heavens. The only one it does not connect to is Xuandu. That is to say, Xuandu and Youdu interlock to form a great circle!
" He expanded the territory of Youdu; at a thought, his vital essence transformed into a Lord Earth, who stood within Youdu, his body vast, the Yellow Springs above his head.
Shen Mu frowned and looked at the continent beneath Lord Earth's feet, and saw that the land actually overlapped with the great abyss of Guixu. He could not help but be stunned.
