From the sky of the dark cavern to the light below was actually such an incomparably long journey . Qin Mu descended continuously, his blood running cold as his speed of descent became faster and faster . If he continued to fall like this and couldn't execute any divine art to slow himself, he would probably turn into a pile of mush!
He tried to execute his divine art . Just as his vital qi formed a rune marking, the rune scattered the next instant, unable to take shape .
This underground cavern seemed to have a strange power that could disrupt the operation of his technique and his divine art . Qin Mu soon realized that this kind of disruption was on his consciousness . Every time he tried to execute his divine art, there would be a strange power that messes up his thoughts . This made him unable to execute his divine art .
'Mental divine arts?'
Qin Mu was astonished . Even though this kind of divine art was rarely seen, Great Educational Heavenly Devil Scriptures had some records in regards to divine arts of this field . They were divine arts that relied on the strong brainwaves, aiming towards the mind—they were usually illusion attacks . This caused the opponent to sink into a hallucination, making them unable to differentiate between what was real and what was fake .
At this time, he could use his own divine arts to break out of the land of fantasy and peer into the truth, killing the opponent .
However, the mental divine art in this underground cavern was even more profound . It struck his consciousness directly and made him unable to break the opponent's mental divine art .
'Mental divine art is a direction that is worthy of studying . I need to tell Imperial Preceptor about it once I return . We can train some scholars with mental divine arts . If they are on the battlefield and burst forth with mental divine art, the enemies will be unable to execute their divine arts . It would be as easy as slaughtering livestock . . . Bah, why am I thinking of this now? I'm almost becoming mush now!'
Despite that Qin Mu couldn't focus his consciousness, his corporeal body was still incomparably strong . He took a step and tried to sprint in the darkness . He tried to use an incomparably astonishing speed to allow himself to sprint in the air .
Next, he discovered a strange point . The air in this place was very thin . The more he descended down, the thinner the air became . Even if he sprinted with his legs, he couldn't borrow any strength .
Right at this moment, he saw a star . That star was actually only the size of a basket . It should be a grain of star sand .
'Big senior brother's star sand! He has indeed come here before!'
Qin Mu was delighted . When he stepped on this star sand, it descended rapidly after being pressed down . However, there was a strange power in the star sand that was resisting against the strange forcefield here . His increasing momentum while falling down gradually slowed, and instead, there was a momentum that was going to spring him back up .
Qin Mu immediately squatted and his legs exerted force to spring himself outward . He landed on another star sand and he leaped around as though he was flying . He stepped on dozens of star sands and quickly closed in where the light in the earth's core was .
Where the earth's core was giving off light, a flat platform was floating in the darkness . There were steps in all four directions . The bottom was wide and the top was narrow . This platform just floated alone in the center of the darkness, like a sacrificial altar that was hanging in the air .
Qin Mu landed on the sacrificial altar and turned his head back to look at star sands that floated in the darkness . Founding Master had apparently found his way here and laid a formation . Which also meant that the thing on this sacrificial altar was a thing that Founding Master wanted to leave behind for Saint Woodcutter .
'What exactly is this thing? Big senior brother has already left two things behind . One is God Execution Mysterious Knife, a human head that was stuffed into a case . The other is a commander's seal that is from some era . In that case, what's the thing on this sacrificial altar . . . "
He looked towards the center of the sacrificial altar and saw that there was a stone coffin there . He didn't know what stone this coffin was made out from . It was covered with relief markings that looked like a kind of sealing spell .
This stone coffin was over thirty yards long and ten yards wide . It was very huge and wouldn't be considered a coffin of an ordinary person . It was where the god was buried .
Qin Mu tried to execute Nine Heavens Eyes Awakening Skill, but he was still unable to execute his divine art . He hesitated for a moment before taking down the golden willow leaf on the heart of his brows . He then used his third eye to look at the stone coffin .
He couldn't see any abnormalities with this eye of his, but he could faintly see there was no corpse in the stone coffin . There was only a huge jar inside .
Qin Mu stuck the golden willow leaf back on the heart of his brows and walked forward .
'What's the logic of placing a huge jar in the coffin?'
He carefully used his vital qi to touch this stone coffin . There was no abnormality . Qin Mu didn't relax as he moved quickly around the stone coffin like a spirit cat . He tested out over and over again, but there was still no abnormality .
Only then was he at ease and he walked forward to try to open up the stone coffin .
The lid of the coffin was extremely heavy . He used all the strength he had to finally shift open the lid of the coffin a little .
There was indeed a huge jar inside the stone coffin . Looking from the coffin's small opening, he saw a head placed inside the jar . The head had four faces and there was a hairpin with the shape of a pagoda canopy on top . There was also an eye there .
This head was soaked in strange water and it seemed to be still alive . The eye on top of the canopy suddenly opened up and his gaze fell upon Qin Mu's face .
Qin Mu's heart was astonished . The scenery in front of his eyes suddenly changed . The earth's core, the darkness, the sacrificial altar, the stone coffin, and the head in the jar had completely vanished!
He appeared in an extremely luxurious palace . The ground was paved with white jade, and the pearls and beads were stars . A man without a face was currently walking towards him and said, "Ying Zhao, I need you to do something for our Founding Emperor Era . "
"I will follow Founding Emperor's orders . "
"Sakra is going to gather all the craftsmen in this world to craft Carefree Village and construct Paramita Ark . I need you to preserve some foundation for our Founding Emperor Era . I'm afraid the people in the future will forget about Carefree Village and I'm also afraid the enemies will destroy Paramita Ark . These are the blueprints of Paramita Ark . You have the strongest god brain, memorize them . "
Qin Mu looked at the blueprints that had piled up like a mountain . He 'looked' at himself flipping through the pages of these blueprints . The diagrams and writings on the blueprints were extremely complicated and hard to memorize, but 'he' managed to imprint these pages without mistake into his memory .
"Your Majesty, do we really have no chance of victory?" Qin Mu heard an unfamiliar voice .
That was the voice of the god named Ying Zhao .
"No . "
That man without a face turned his back to him and shook his head . "None at all . The more I know about our enemies, the more despair I feel . The past eras in history had all been erased and it's difficult for us to escape the same fate as well . However, there's still hope in the future . Leaving behind these blueprints means hope is being left behind . In the future, my descendant will come to look for you and take back these blueprints . He will bring you guys to meet me in Carefree Village . When that time comes, we will make a comeback, and change heaven and earth!"
"Your Majesty . . . "
That man without a face walked out and left him behind . He memorized with his heart and spent a very long time to finally memorize this incomparably complicated blueprints of Paramita Ark .
He then destroyed the blueprints and they burned for a long time before finally extinguishing .
Once the blueprints were all burnt, the palace hall sank into darkness .
Light surged forth from the darkness in front of Qin Mu's eyes . The scene before him was the battlefield of gods that was unfolding in a magnificent scale . Everywhere in the sky and land were gods fighting each other . Countless gods had died . The sight was miserable .
Qin Mu saw Founding Emperor Celestial Heavens falling from an extremely high place and smashing through the layers of heavens . It left a long trail of fire and light as it crashed down into the other worlds .
Qin Mu looked at 'himself' in a daze and 'he' was currently raising his divine sword . 'He' then put it down and returned to the god city . He went underground and constructed a space of darkness beneath the ground . He forged a sacrificial altar .
He used his consciousness to construct an abnormal mental forcefield and prepared a coffin for himself . He then placed a huge jar in the coffin and poured water in the jar . It was divine water that was refined from his consciousness and lifeforce . It could preserve his corporeal body from decomposing .
He raised his sword once again .
"The person who sees this sight . . . "
Qin Mu heard that unfamiliar voice once again that was muttering to himself . "Are you the descendant of Qin? Are you following Founding Emperor's orders to retrieve the blueprints? I cannot repay the kindness of Founding Emperor, so I can only offer my head and wait here quietly for Lord Qin to retrieve . "
Chiâ—
Sword light flashed and Qin Mu felt intense pain . He then 'saw' himself falling into a jar and looking outside . He could see the corpse of God Ying Zhao moving the lid of the coffin as it gradually closed on him .
After a moment, he heard a loud thud from the earth's core . That was the sound made when the corpse of this god had fallen and crashed on the ground .
Qin Mu's eyes were red and he wiped away his tears .
The head in the jar seemed to be able to see and his head slowly turned . Strong brainwaves resonated within Qin Mu's consciousness, and the blueprints transformed into pictures that were firmly imprinted into his mind . The more pictures that appeared, the lesser the divine water was left in the jar .
When the divine water in the jar was depleted, Qin Mu's mind was already filled with the blueprints of Paramita Ark .
The head of that god was still giving off brainwaves and passed the rest of the blueprints into Qin Mu's mind . The head was decomposing at a rate which the naked eye could see . When his consciousness was depleted, only a skull was left lying quietly on the bottom of the jar .
Qin Mu stood quietly in front of this stone coffin . He suddenly said, "You don't owe Qin family anything, Qin family owes you! I can let you die without a complete corpse!"
He leaped down from the sacrificial altar and dangled from the vital qi thread to continue down into the dark underground . After a long time, Qin Mu carried a headless skeleton and the vital qi that was as thin as spiderweb slowly pulled him up .
He went back to the sacrificial altar and took out the huge jar . He placed the headless skeleton respectfully into the coffin and took the skull out from the jar, placing it on the neck of this headless skeleton .
Qin Mu shut the stone coffin and bowed three times to it . He turned around and leaped up . He stepped on the grains of star sand and leaped into the sky .
On his final leap, he was still three thousand yards away from the hole . Qin Mu stretched a finger out and a vital qi thread flew out three thousand yards . It then coiled around the white bone rope that was hanging down from the hole .
Numerous skeletons at the hole quickly crawled upward . After exerting quite a deal of effort, they finally managed to pull him out of the underground space .
Just as Qin Mu crawled out from the hole, tremors came from beneath the ground . His expression couldn't help changing . His vital qi quickly burst forth and he swept up all of the skeletons in the surroundings . He formed Great Overarching Heavenly Stars Forcefield and brought these skeletons to run away .
Behind him, the ground caved in . The god city that had already become a dilapidated ruin dropped down towards the earth's core . The hole became bigger and bigger .
Qin Mu's speed quickly rose to its extreme as he rushed out of this ancient ruin at the speed of lightning . The tremors gradually stopped and when he turned back to look, that god city had already turned into a deep abyss, burying history .
Qin Mu placed the skeletons down and sat on a rock . He looked at the abyss—its bottom couldn't be seen . His gaze was deep and sorrowful .
A skeleton caressed his head and seemed to be consoling him . Another skeleton came to his face and wanted to wipe his tears .
Qin Mu's face revealed a smile . He rose and greeted these skeletons . "I'm fine now . Thank you, everyone, for accompanying me these past few days . Maybe in the future, if I'm not dead, I will come back . I will gather your souls back and revive you all . Let us meet in the future!"
He left with wide strides and those skeletons didn't follow him this time . Qin Mu turned back his head and saw these white bones were waving their arms at him .
Qin Mu waved back and left .
"Even in death their bones remain fragrant, and do not shame the heroes of the realm . Founding Emperor, my ancestor who is far away in Carefree Village, do you still remember a god named Ying Zhao who beheaded himself because of an order from you? I'm afraid you don't, let me help you remember . The sons of Qin will not betray anyone who follows them . They won't forget the promise they or their ancestors had made!"
He sprinted on this desolate land and headed towards where Founding Emperor Celestial Heavens had crashed . Over there, it should be the entrance that leads to Supreme Emperor Heaven or Great Ruins according to God Ying Zhao's memory .
"I will complete your promise for you and let the heroic spirits that had died rest in peace!"
He came to a broken space and the dazzling sunlight was flowing over there . He could faintly see another world . The sunlight was from the shattered pieces of space—it was extremely dangerous to cross over .
Qin Mu took out a small case from his taotie sack and he leaped into the broken space . When he met the sunlight, the youth suddenly opened the case . Blood-thirsty and fierce light overflowed into the sky, transforming into two knife lights . With a snip, they snipped off the sunlight!
Before the sunlight merged back together, Qin Mu passed through the shattered piece of space and his body hurriedly fell downwards . Below him were lush forest and boundless mountains . The Southern Heavenly Gate stood tall there as well .
Qin Mu was slightly stunned . It wasn't Supreme Emperor Heaven below him . It was Great Ruins .
