Chapter 1472: The Origin of Pixiang Hall

The Ten Thousand Sacred Mountains were bustling with activity. When Qin Mu and Lan Yutian arrived, they overheard the Cripple boasting to the Mute and the Blind about entering and exiting the Heavenly Court seven times without anyone knowing, as if it were an empty realm.

The Blind Man rolled his eyes repeatedly, and the Mute was speechless. Others, such as Xu Shenghua and Jiang Yunjian, were filled with admiration.

Qin Mu approached and saw the Cripple standing in front of a giant eggshell. There was still some primal liquid inside. The Cripple, being incredibly generous, began distributing the liquid to everyone.

Noticing their arrival, the Cripple joyfully exclaimed, "Mu'er is back! And Big Fatty Lan is back too! Little Fatty, did you steal the Empyrean Pavilion?"

Qin Mu quickly stepped forward, his expression subtly changing when he saw the eggshell. He blurted out, "Is this the other half of Heavenly Emperor Tai Chu's eggshell?"

The Cripple proudly put his hands on his hips. "I stole it! I used peerless speed and sacrificed countless treasures and several Emperor corpses to retrieve this treasure!"

Qin Mu saw everyone standing by the eggshell with pots, bowls, and basins, which were surprisingly filled with Tai Chu primal liquid. He stomped his foot and asked, "You drank it?"

Granny Si quickly turned her head away, quietly wiped the corners of her mouth, then turned back with a composed expression.

Hua Xuanxiu, seeing this, also subtly wiped the corners of her mouth. Then she nudged Young Ancestral Master's waist and whispered, "Wenyuan, there's still egg liquid at the corner of your mouth..."

Young Ancestral Master quickly wiped his mouth and asked, "Still there?"

Hua Xuanxiu carefully inspected him, helped him wipe a bit more, and then said, "It's gone."

Young Ancestral Master relaxed.

The Cripple looked puzzled. "Why wouldn't we drink it? There's a lot of egg liquid in this shell; I can even give you some. It's especially fragrant..."

Qin Mu was exasperated, veins popping out on his forehead. "This is Heavenly Emperor Tai Chu's egg liquid! He was born early, and the liquid wasn't fully refined. Now he has the Tai Chu ore vein and the ability to refine primal liquid. It's bad enough you stole his eggshell, but why did you steal the liquid too? If he wants to achieve his Dao, he must reclaim all his primal liquid, raw stones, and divine consciousness. Even the Creator race, including Tai Di and Gong Tianzun, would have to die once to have their divine consciousness reclaimed by him! How much did you drink?"

Jiang Yunjian held a basin and said, "This primal liquid smells good, but it has no taste when you drink it..."

Qin Mu glared at him, annoyed. "Tai Chu's Dao is innate primordial qi and divine consciousness, born from chaos. It would be strange if it *did* have a taste!"

Jiang Yunjian lowered his head, not daring to speak. After all, Qin Mu was his godfather, and when he was away from home, Qin Mu had the right to discipline him on behalf of his parents.

Everyone looked expectantly at Qin Mu, clearly having consumed the Tai Chu primal liquid.

Qin Mu paced back and forth, then suddenly sighed. "Forget it, forget it. Heavenly Venerate Haotian wants to destroy Tai Di and the Creators, so he will definitely clash with us in the future. Since you've drunk it, you've drunk it. At worst, we'll just kill him!"

Everyone cheered. Lan Yutian rushed over, calling out, "Grandpa Cripple, give me a basin too!"

Qin Mu quickly said, "Don't drink too much! This kind of primal liquid needs to be refined with Tai Chu divine stones and Tai Chu raw stones! Otherwise, if it accumulates in your body, it will definitely harm your physical body and primordial spirit, providing no benefit whatsoever! I have experience!"

Wei Suifeng called out, "Junior Brother, you've gained experience from eating it, so there's no need to share any with you!"

Lan Yutian joyfully said, "Heavenly Venerate Haotian has been exiled, so we can take advantage of the empty Tai Chu ore vein and go there to steal Tai Chu divine stones to refine the primal liquid!"

Everyone cheered again.

Qin Mu hastily said, "There are Heavenly Venerate Haotian's Heavenly Venerate treasures suppressing the area; don't act rashly!"

The Cripple excitedly said, "If we can go to the Heavenly Emperor's harem, can we still be afraid of the Tai Chu ore vein and Heavenly Venerate treasures? We'll take the Lapis Lazuli Green Sky Pagoda with us. Mute, have you been working on the Lapis Lazuli Green Sky Pagoda all these years? Is it usable?"

The Mute sneered, and the Blind Man crossed his arms, huffing, "Of course it's usable!"

Qin Mu's face darkened. When they finally tired themselves out, he stepped forward to examine the Tai Chu primal liquid in the eggshell. Although not much was left, it could still fill several large vats.

He collected the remaining primal liquid, thought for a moment, and called Jiang Yunjian. "Yunjian, take this primal liquid and immediately go to Carefree Village. Give it to Divine King Lang Wo and tell her there's no need to refine Tai Di's divine consciousness; refining this primal liquid will help her improve her divine consciousness cultivation."

Jiang Yunjian quickly took the primal liquid and asked, "Carefree Village is currently sealed off. How can I enter?"

"First, go to the Primordial Realm, then to the Peach Forest. Once there, you will meet the maidservants by Heavenly Venerate Yue. They will guide you."

Jiang Yunjian acknowledged the order and promptly left.

Qin Mu took out the piece of eggshell he had previously stolen and compared it with the Cripple's stolen eggshell. They fit together perfectly, bringing a smile to his face.

"Heavenly Venerate Haotian, Xiaowu Su, Heavenly Emperor Tai Chu, Tai Di Ju Yu clan... I finally have a way to deal with you, and I finally have a way to rescue Heavenly Venerate Ling!"

He couldn't help but laugh out loud, his laughter growing louder and louder until it became a booming guffaw that echoed through the mountains.

"My Junior Brother's laughter truly sounds like an evil demon lord about to achieve his wicked plot," Wei Suifeng remarked to Granny Si.

Granny Si immediately became alert and scolded him, "Founding Ancestor, we are the Heavenly Saint Cult, not the Heavenly Devil Cult! If the beam above is crooked, our lower beams won't be crooked!"

Wei Suifeng was speechless.

Qin Mu put away the Tai Chu eggshell, finally relieved of a burden.

Lan Yutian took out the Empyrean Pavilion. As the grand hall appeared, countless seals were visible, densely covering it airtight. There were ancient god seals, demigod seals, seals from numerous Emperor's Throne realm experts, and seals from the Ten Heavenly Venerates!

Among them, the Ancient God Heavenly Emperor's seal was the most prominent.

Of these many seals, nearly two thousand were ancient god seals, most of which they had never seen before! Qin Mu even found Tai Di's seal among them!

Qin Mu's heart stirred. "This Empyrean Pavilion is even older than we imagined. It's not a building from the Dragon Han Heavenly Court era, but from the Primordial Era before Dragon Han!"

Lan Yutian curiously asked, "Primordial Era? So what did the ancient gods of the Primordial Era use this hall to suppress?"

The Cripple rapped him on the head. Only a few old men from Disabled Elderly Village dared to strike this Heavenly Venerate.

"To suppress you, of course!" the Cripple snapped. "Your remnant soul was suppressed inside."

Yan'er nervously added, "And my mother's soul!"

Xu Shenghua's eyes flickered. "Lan Yutian was suppressed in the early Dragon Han era, and Southern Emperor Vermilion Bird's soul was suppressed during the Battle of the Southern Extremity Heaven. Neither was during the Primordial Era. So, what was suppressed here is worth pondering... Could such a magnificent divine hall have been built in the Primordial Era?"

His question made everyone suddenly realize and scrutinize the Empyrean Pavilion.

This divine hall was grand and magnificent, exuding ancient simplicity and solemnity, with exquisite architecture that showcased extremely high artistic achievement.

Everyone spoke animatedly, discussing various possibilities. Shu Jun raised his hand, trying to interject, but couldn't get a word in, getting anxious and sweaty.

"This great hall is from the Jade Capital City!" he finally roared, unleashing his divine consciousness.

Silence fell all around, and all eyes turned to him.
