The stars in the sky grew increasingly bright, yet strangely, certain stars, while increasing in luminosity, flickered and faded, appearing and disappearing as if they too danced to the rhythm of the peach forest's music, leaping from one world to another.
Each time a star dimmed, vanished, and then brightened again, it seemed to grow larger and draw a fraction closer to the peach forest!
As the peach forest's music pulsed, the Daoist priests, busy instructing people in various cities and regions, suddenly noticed that the giant and the Primordial Wood in the darkness were moving!
Although the giant and the Primordial Wood appeared to be the same size as before, as if they hadn't moved, this was merely because they were shrinking as they moved.
Even more strangely, the giant, gripping the Primordial Wood and pulling it up, remained still when the peach forest's music pulsed, and only moved when the music stopped.
The pulsing of the music precisely coincided with the peach forest's sky lighting up; at that time, the giant and the Primordial Wood were illuminated and remained motionless.
Conversely, when the music stopped, the sky above the peach forest plunged into darkness. At that moment, the giant and the Primordial Wood also vanished into the darkness, yet the Daoists could feel the giant in the darkness, grasping the Primordial Wood, hurrying towards their location.
That peculiar giant, traveling with the Primordial Wood, was none other than the divine artifact Suppressor of the Heavens, who suppressed the Primordial World!
The Daoist priests were filled with dread. They hastened to fly in all directions, instructing everyone to secure their gates.
Finally, the Daoist bell rang again. The Daoists flew back to the Daoist temple, sealed the mountain gate, and returned to their respective courtyards or palaces, locking their doors.
In the city at the foot of the mountain, a child quietly pushed open a window, intending to look out. At that moment, he witnessed an incredibly terrifying scene: a colossal giant stood outside the city, clutching a hundred-zhang-tall tree!
Its face towered above the city wall, its profile appearing above it. The music from the peach forest pulsed, and light flared, illuminating its face.
The child stared, wide-mouthed and dumbfounded, at this spectacle.
His mother rushed over, dragged the mischievous child back, and slammed the windows and doors shut.
Then, the sounds of spanking and the child's wails emanated from inside the house. Soon, the wails subsided to whimpers, likely due to being muffled.
Outside the city, the divine artifact Suppressor of the Heavens had shrunk to a height of just over ten zhang, yet it was still taller than the city wall, standing there like a stone statue.
Suddenly, the peach forest's music dimmed, and the city plunged into darkness.
When the music brightened again, the giant was already standing by the peach forest, still leaning on the Primordial Wood, motionless.
A rustling sound filled the air—a sudden, strong gust of wind blowing through the peach forest.
The wind was inexplicably strong, even stirring the robes of the divine artifact Suppressor of the Heavens.
Peculiarly, this wind, strong enough to move the Suppressor of the Heavens’ robes, only disturbed the outer leaves of the peach forest, while the leaves within the forest remained completely still.
The divine artifact Suppressor of the Heavens stood motionless, holding the Primordial Wood.
Meanwhile, the stars in the sky grew ever brighter, their light sparkling as if they had approached just above the peach forest. Among them, forty-nine large stars shone most brilliantly.
Inside the peach forest's palace, the Physician activated the final medicinal power of the elixir. The great Dao chains formed by this power burrowed into Moon Heavenly Venerate's glabella. The instant the chains touched Lang Xuan God Emperor's divine sense Dao patterns, they intertwined like two warring spirals, locked in a fierce struggle!
As Lang Xuan God Emperor's divine sense Dao patterns were shattered one by one, Moon Heavenly Venerate's divine sense and primordial spirit were also impacted. The music she played on her guqin suddenly went half a beat out of sync.
Her guqin music faltered by half a beat, and at that very moment, the light strings of the peach forest also slowed by half a beat.
When the music resumed, light flared, and the divine artifact Suppressor of the Heavens, leaning on the Primordial Wood, arrived deep within the peach forest. The strange gale also reached the peach forest, rustling the peach trees' leaves and sending peach blossoms fluttering and dancing in the wind!
In the sky, the forty-nine large stars grew even more dazzling, suspended above the peach forest palace like forty-nine eyes, fixated on the palace, awaiting their next opportunity.
Within the vast peach forest, countless light strings wove and pulsed with increasing speed. The sky instantly became kaleidoscopic, alternating between day and night, torrential rain and brilliant sunshine, endless white snow and scorching summer heat, or the mildness of spring and the fiery reds of autumn.
In a mere instant, the peach forest could transition from one world to another, from spring to summer, from winter to autumn!
The mountains, rivers, sun, moon, and stars here were constantly changing, yet strangely, the divine artifact Suppressor of the Heavens, the Primordial Wood, the peculiar wind, and the forty-nine great stars in the sky remained utterly unchanged.
Inside the palace, the guqin music became more urgent and rapid.
Moon Heavenly Venerate's fingers flew across the strings, her playing growing increasingly frantic, as if even her fingers could no longer keep up.
Suddenly, Moon Heavenly Venerate rose to her feet. The ancient guqin floated in the air, swirling around her as she danced mid-air.
Her legs, unknowingly, had healed, allowing her to stand!
As her body moved, the guqin moved with her, floating incessantly before, behind, above, below, and to her sides. Sharp guqin notes rang out, and the peach forest palace suddenly split into four, leaving only massive stone pillars standing!
The stone pillars stood like a forest, resembling countless guqin bridges.
The guqin's strings suddenly lifted and attached to each pillar, one string to one pillar.
Moon Heavenly Venerate, graceful and ethereal, wove between the strings and pillars, her movements light and flowing. Yet, the guqin music was high-pitched and passionate, subtly imbued with a chilling aura of battle and slaughter!
The Physician, meanwhile, orbited her like a tiny star. His Medical King Primordial Spirit stood in his Celestial Palace, and the Medical Dao Celestial Palace also danced around Moon Heavenly Venerate, ensuring the Dao patterns within the healing elixirs remained stable!
*Buzz—*
Qin Mu's Spirit Embryo Divine Treasure unfolded, transforming the hall into a vast world. The Ancestral Court hung at the center, with Xuan Du above and You Du below, the Four Extremities standing at the cardinal points, and all the heavens and myriad worlds appearing.
Qin Mu's main Primordial Spirit slowly ascended, growing larger and taller. From any direction, one could only see his front face.
He was a four-faced god.
This four-faced God King spread his palms, holding the ruins of the great hall upon them. The guqin pillars and strings, spanning a hundred *li*, transformed the hall's remains into a colossal guqin.
Moon Heavenly Venerate danced among the guqin pillars and strings, sometimes flying over, sometimes passing under, and sometimes circling the pillars. Her long sleeves fluttered, plucking the strings.
She seemed to become the four-faced God King in Qin Mu's palm, capable of clearly grasping every detail of the peach forest and the giant guqin.
The Physician and his Medical King Primordial Spirit appeared even smaller, yet they too were like a four-faced God King, capable of clearly comprehending the flow of every fraction of medicinal power.
"Heavenly Venerate Mu..." a voice echoed from the peach forest, mournful and weeping.
Qin Mu's heart leaped: "They're going to make their move!"
The Primordial Wood in the divine artifact Suppressor of the Heavens' hand suddenly sent countless roots flying, instantly piercing through the vast peach forest. In the sky, forty-nine great stars descended, plummeting downwards!
