Chapter 1112: Creation of the Divine Artifact

The Hutian World is exceptionally complete, a treasure of the Creator Zangshan clan, and is considered a high-grade heaven among the various heavens.

Furthermore, the Hutian Bottle is a divine weapon crafted by a Creator. Should war break out, it can be activated to slay enemies. Naturally, this requires extremely profound divine sense attainment.

Now, Qin Mu has imparted the divine sense cultivation methods of the Creator clan to Yankang. The divine arts practitioners and deities in Yankang have combined techniques like the Three Constellations Supreme Consciousness with their current cultivation system, developing numerous new divine sense cultivation methods.

The Dutian Demonic King only needs to learn the divine sense cultivation methods from Yankang and lead his clan in continuous refinement of the Hutian Bottle. Soon, they will be able to fully refine it, transforming it into a crucial artifact for their protection!

The Dutian Demonic King was overjoyed. He immediately entered the Hutian Heavens to share the good news with his clan.

For so many years, since the destruction of the Dutian World and the death of countless clansmen, they had been displaced. Their pleas went unanswered, they met with obstacles everywhere, and were ambushed, captured, and enslaved. Now, they finally have a stable home!

His heart was filled with warmth and excitement, yet he also knew that his merit in conquering the Tianyu World was not enough to earn a heaven like the Hutian World.

The Hutian World is even larger than the Tianyu World. Qin Mu gifted him the Hutian Bottle out of consideration for their friendship.

Qin Mu inquired in detail with Yu Zhaoqing. Yu Zhaoqing recounted how the Dutian Demonic King led the Tianyu people to attack the Tianyu World. The Tianyu World had been occupied by demons, and the demonic methods happened to counter the Tianyu clan's cultivation techniques.

Furthermore, the demonic gods of the demon race possessed divine abilities to control the Tianyu clan; even Yu Zhaoqing could be manipulated.

The Dutian Demonic King did not immediately attack. Instead, he used his identity as a demon to infiltrate the Tianyu World and learn the demonic cultivation methods. After two years, having thoroughly understood the demons' abilities, he comprehended a way to counteract them and taught it to Yu Zhaoqing and others.

Yu Zhaoqing promoted it within the clan and prepared for another two years before launching the attack.

Then, within a year, they conquered the Tianyu World. It was truly a long buildup, followed by a thunderous strike, wiping out the demonic forces there with overwhelming force!

Qin Mu listened intently and praised, saying, "Know yourself and your enemy, and you will win every battle. The Dutian Demonic King possesses the demeanor of a great general."

Yu Zhaoqing smiled and said, "At first, Dutian didn't get along with those three Dragon Dao brothers and was even hung up and beaten. Later, their relationship improved, and they even saved each other's lives."

Qin Mu burst into laughter and summoned the three heavenly dragons and the other six. He asked, "Will you stay in Yankang, or will you follow me to the Heavenly Court? If you return to the Heavenly Court, I will erase your memories of these past few years and implant new ones. However, if you stay in Yankang, you must change your identities and share Yankang's fate, for better or worse."

The nine heavenly dragons transformed into human form and conferred with each other in whispers. They then said, "We have followed Celestial Venerable and know many secrets. If we return to the Heavenly Court, we fear our days will be numbered. Even if Celestial Venerable erases our memories, we would still die as a result. Therefore, we choose to stay in Yankang, hoping to establish ourselves in the future."

Qin Mu took out the Book of Life and Death and said, "In that case, I will help you this once. I will erase your names from the Book of Life and Death so that the Heavenly Court cannot trace your whereabouts."

He used the Book of Life and Death to envelop the nine individuals and activated the Youdu divine art, erasing their names from this world.

The nine individuals suddenly felt a sense of relief and bowed in gratitude.

"Since I'm returning to the Heavenly Court, it's time to return the Glazed Azure Sky Banner to Crown Prince Youming."

As Qin Mu thought this, his divine sense entered the Qin Character Continent, and he was about to retrieve the Glazed Azure Sky Banner when he suddenly heard strange sounds, which stirred his heart.

He then saw that within the Qin Character Continent, the ancient god egg on the Glazed Azure Sky Banner emitted strange Daoist sounds. Not far away, the Taishi Egg's surface, with its bizarre runes constantly shifting, also emitted wondrous Daoist sounds, as if the two ancient god eggs were communicating with each other!

Qin Mu's hair stood on end, but he remained outwardly calm. He picked up a treasure from within the Qin Character Continent and left.

As he came to retrieve the treasure, the sounds emanating from the two massive ancient god eggs immediately vanished, and they became silent.

But after Qin Mu took the treasure, the strange Daoist sounds from the two ancient god eggs resumed!

Qin Mu's scalp tingled and his heart pounded. "The Taishi Egg and the other ancient god egg have both developed sentience," he thought. "The beings inside can communicate with each other! What are they discussing?"

He felt a shiver down his spine.

"I cannot hand over the Glazed Azure Sky Banner to Crown Prince Youming yet!"

Qin Mu steadied himself. Two ancient gods, not yet born, communicating within their eggs could not but trigger unpleasant associations for him.

There is currently only one ancient god born from an egg: the Ancient God Heavenly Emperor. If the ancient gods born from these two eggs were to emerge, wouldn't they be two more Ancient God Heavenly Emperors?

One Ancient God Heavenly Emperor is already terrifyingly formidable, refusing to yield even in death, and has committed numerous evils throughout history.

If these two ancient gods were to join forces, the harm they could inflict would likely be even greater and more widespread!

"I cannot alarm them yet."

Qin Mu's eyes flickered. He summoned Long Qilin and Yan'er, saying, "Since the heavenly dragons are staying in the Primordial Realm, I'll have to trouble you two to pull the carriage."

Long Qilin voluntarily harnessed himself to the reins. Yan'er also ran over and harnessed herself. She asked, "Young Master, when shall we depart?"

Just as Qin Mu boarded the divine carriage, he saw an envoy from the Heavenly Court arrive to read out the Heavenly Emperor's decree, summoning Gongsun Yan to the Heavenly Court.

In recent days, Gongsun Yan had been cultivating with Granny Si to consolidate her cultivation and learning the Heavenly Court's etiquette with Ling Yuxiu, becoming poised and proper. However, now that she was to visit the Heavenly Court and meet the Heavenly Emperor, she was extremely nervous.

Qin Mu had her board the divine carriage and, carrying her and the divine official who delivered the decree, headed for the Heavenly Court. He chuckled, saying, "You're not nervous seeing me, so there's even less reason to be nervous meeting the Ten Celestial Venerables. By seniority, my status in the Heavenly Court is even above theirs."

Gongsun Yan's palms were slick with cold sweat. Qin Mu held her hand, and only then did the girl gradually calm down.

Qin Mu said gravely, "We depart now! Don't use the spiritual energy transfer bridge at the Primordial Tree; go directly to the spiritual energy transfer bridge outside the capital!"

Yan'er acknowledged and, with Long Qilin, pulled the divine carriage towards that spiritual energy transfer bridge.

Qin Mu sat in the carriage. Thinking of the two ancient god eggs communicating with each other, his mind remained unsettled. "It seems I must find the Celestial Venerable Ling's notes left by my Senior Brother," he thought. "Only by finding them can I use the Immutability of Matter divine art to deduce the Daoist language of the Taishi Egg. Once I understand the meaning of their Daoist language, I'll know what these two ancient god eggs are discussing!"

Yan'er and Long Qilin pulled the divine carriage to the spiritual energy transfer bridge. Qin Mu asked the divine official who had delivered the decree, "Where does the other end of this bridge lead?"

"Reporting to Celestial Venerable, this leads to Zaofu Heavenly Palace."

"Zaofu Heavenly Palace?"

Qin Mu's heart stirred slightly. The divine carriage entered the spiritual energy transfer bridge.

After a long while, the divine carriage gently paused, having arrived at the Heavenly Court. Qin Mu pushed open the carriage window and looked out. Outside was the Zaofu Heavenly Palace.

The Heavenly Court's first manufacturing plant was the Zaofu Heavenly Palace!

Although Qin Mu was the Celestial Venerable Mu of the Heavenly Court, it was his first time visiting this place. He observed from both carriage windows, seeing countless three-headed, six-armed divine beings busily working, forging and processing heavy divine artifacts. Each hammer strike produced a thunderous sound!

These divine beings were the Heavenly Court's divine artisans. With three heads and six arms, their forging speed was astonishing.

The entire Zaofu Heavenly Palace was a massive manufacturing plant. Towering furnaces stood everywhere, heavenly flames blazed fiercely, burning incessantly day and night. High-grade divine materials, metals, and ingredients transported from various heavens were sent here.

Here were the most talented Daoists from the Heavenly Court's Dao Sect, skilled in numerology, as well as skilled artisans from myriad heavens. In terms of scale alone, a single Zaofu Heavenly Palace could rival all of Yankang's manufacturing plants combined!

Suddenly, Qin Mu's pupils constricted. He saw the artifact of creation located at the center of Zaofu Heavenly Palace.
