Chapter 1075 — First Step into the Ancestral Land

Shen Mu stepped onto the larger altar and swept his gaze over everyone's faces. "Gentlemen, so long as you come onto the altar and I activate the formation, we can attempt to enter the Ancestral Court. On the other altar I have laid another kind of rune. The Ancestral Court is already sealed, and with my power alone I cannot break the seal, so I have left the second altar so that, within the Ancestral Court, we can use the reverse summoning method to call ourselves back out. This second set of runes requires me to activate it. Are the three of you all clear?"
Da Hong laughed. "Brother Mu has thought of everything with thorough care. I am clear."
Gu Xiao also nodded. "I am clear as well."
Shen Mu breathed a sigh of relief. With those words from these two, his own life could be considered as good as saved.
At the very least, before leaving the Ancestral Court, these two would never do away with him.
The Heavenly Dragon treasure chariot also drove onto the altar; the six heavenly dragons, the Dragon Qilin, and Yan'er were there too, with Yan'er guarding the lantern that Wei Suifeng had entrusted to them.
Shen Mu gave a soft shout and activated the method for summoning Void Beasts. Innumerable runes upon the altar burst out at once, transforming into countless points of light. The points of light rose slowly and converged at the center of his brow. In a flash, a beam of light shot out from between Shen Mu's brows and pierced into the void!
The void trembled faintly, and then Shen Mu sensed within the nothingness one colossal lifeform after another, utterly savage, brimming with bloodlust!
He chose a powerful lifeform and hurled his divine consciousness against it.
Hum.
He felt a faint vibration coming to him, and in a haze it seemed that he had established a connection with that powerful lifeform.
Upon the altar, Shen Mu's eyes were hollow and vacant, yet his hands danced. The divine-weapon components affixed around the altar suddenly blazed with incomparable brilliance, and the various rune marks Shen Mu had branded upon them seemed to come alive — like serpents, like pythons — writhing over the components!
Beams of light soared into the sky, forming above their heads a phantom altar composed of runes; then the phantom altar crashed into the void!
Boom!
A violent rumble sounded in the ears of everyone upon the altar, and abruptly the entire altar seemed pulled by an immense force, flying into the void.
Just at this moment, Shen Mu saw, within the murky void, an enormous eye suddenly split open, revealing a bizarre eyeball that rolled once with a gurgle.
"That kind of eye — I seem to have seen it somewhere... It is the Other Shore world!"
His heart gave a start. Back in the Other Shore world, when the Creators had summoned the Primal Spirit Realm, he had seen a similar eye. That had been an anomalous vision that appeared when the Primal Spirit Realm manifested.
What Shen Mu did not know, however, was that in the supreme divine-consciousness domain of the Great Void, similar eyes had appeared in the earth, the mountains and rivers, and the sky!
It was only that he had not noticed them then; only the divine dragon he had visualized had seen that eye!
"Could it be the eye of a Void Beast? Then was the Primal Spirit Realm built from a Void Beast?"
He had just thought of this when the altar was already charging into that enormous eye.
The sky suddenly blazed bright. The enormous eye seemed to have taken fright and hastily shrank back, and the altar raced after the eye at full speed.
The next moment, a violent jolt came; the altar came to an abrupt halt, and dazzling light flooded the eyes of all upon the altar.
The eyeball of a primordial colossus appeared beside the altar, its pupil contracting as it fixed its gaze upon this suddenly appearing altar — and even its pupil alone was vastly more towering than the altar!
