Qin Mu emptied his mind, using his vital qi to sense the power of heaven and earth, gathering it to open the Heavenly River Divine Treasure.
This was a method he had learned from Celestial Venerable Yu. The most difficult aspect of opening the Heavenly River Divine Treasure was how to extend it into the Celestial Palace.
It was impossible to do it with one's own power alone. Even someone as powerful as Qin Mu did not possess such immense vital qi. Other cultivators who had reached the Life and Death realm could not even dream of it.
Only the power of heaven and earth could create something out of nothing in the void, fashioning a Heavenly River that spanned through the Celestial Palace and all other divine treasures!
Individual power was limited, whereas the power of heaven and earth was unimaginably vast. For instance, Celestial Venerable Yu had no cultivation realm before opening the Spirit Embryo Divine Treasure; his vital qi was shallow, making him merely a martial artist.
Yet, by mobilizing the power of heaven and earth, Celestial Venerable Yu could create the Spirit Embryo Divine Treasure within himself from scratch, building a spiritual platform and refining a spiritual embryo.
If one relied solely on cultivation, their personal strength would need to reach at least the Celestial Being realm, and their creation techniques would have to be at their peak to achieve this; even then, success was not guaranteed.
Qin Mu mobilized more and more heaven and earth power, and his aura became increasingly terrifying. Above his residence, a furiously rotating vortex spun, while below, a massive dark vortex continuously expanded.
The crowd, who had been studying the Blessings of the Gods behind Celestial Venerable Yu's head, had long grown accustomed to what was happening with Qin Mu these days. However, they noticed this time was different.
Previously, Qin Mu often borrowed the power of heaven and earth to open various divine treasures. They were shocked a few times, but gradually got used to it, at most calling him a pervert.
This time, the vortex expanded much faster than before, already exceeding the mansion and extending into the streets, covering several other blocks.
The guards of the capital were alarmed and dispatched soldiers to investigate, believing an old monster was lurking in the capital, stirring up trouble.
Emperor Yanfeng sent them back, saying, "It's Qin Mu, my esteemed minister."
The soldiers, enlightened, withdrew and ordered the demon-subduing army to retreat, saying, "It's Cult Master Qin, that old monster."
The dark vortex on the ground continued to expand rapidly, gradually covering the Imperial College and even half of the Imperial City, causing widespread panic in the capital.
They walked on the darkness, fearing they might fall, but since they didn't, they felt a little relieved.
Children playing in the street saw the darkness spread beneath their feet and immediately burst into tears. Mothers rushed over, scooped up their children, and flew into their homes, shutting and bolting the doors tightly.
Faint sounds of children crying and parents' voices could be heard from many houses in the capital: "Cry again, and the big green-faced, fanged devil will jump out and snatch you away!"
The vortex above the capital was not as terrifying; it was composed of various colored lights and was also expanding wildly, with lightning and thunder flashing within it.
Finally, these two colossal vortices trapped the entire capital between them. Above the capital, fierce winds raged, and lightning struck like rain, one bolt after another aimed at Qin Mu's residence.
At this moment, the two massive vortices violently vibrated, and a jet-black pillar of light erupted from the ground, while an extremely bright pillar of light descended from the sky, colliding with a thunderous roar!
The two large vortices spun madly, the light pillars intensifying, the black becoming blacker, and the bright becoming brighter!
At the center of the two colliding light pillars, Qin Mu gathered the power of heaven and earth within his body, channeling it into his glabella. His hands transformed endlessly, forming various seals. Then, more arms suddenly sprouted from behind him, also furiously forming seals, opening the Heavenly River within his body.
Suddenly, he paused slightly, sensing a strange power from afar.
This power seemed to be from a true Heavenly River, vast and profound, flowing endlessly.
Qin Mu's heart stirred. This power came from the south, likely from the direction of Yongjiang.
"Could Yongjiang really be the Heavenly River?"
As he formed seals, he carefully sensed the origin of this power, his divine sense flowing upstream, following this power all the way.
His divine sense was incredibly powerful because he had inherited the Crimson Emperor's legacy, cultivating the Indestructible Divine Sense, which was incredibly resilient and could extend to extremely distant places.
When the Crimson Emperor died in the Crimson Bright Hanging Realm, his thoughts were indestructible, and part of his divine sense even scattered into the universe, perceived by the Ming Emperor, who then found the Crimson Bright Hanging Realm.
This showed the formidable nature of the Indestructible Divine Sense.
Soon, Qin Mu's divine sense traveled countless miles. From afar, he saw a mighty river surging and flowing, which, judging by its water flow and geographical features, was Yongjiang.
"If Yongjiang is the Heavenly River, it will be much easier for those who open the Heavenly River Divine Treasure after me."
Qin Mu was overjoyed. Although he believed the Heavenly River Divine Treasure was the best seventh divine treasure, simply mobilizing the power of heaven and earth to open it would eliminate most cult masters. It was likely that very few people would be able to open the Heavenly River Divine Treasure.
"Fortunately, Yongjiang is the Heavenly River. They can come directly to Yongjiang and use the power of the Heavenly River to create the Heavenly River Divine Treasure, without having to go through the trouble I did."
Just as Qin Mu was about to withdraw his divine sense, he suddenly paused slightly. His Indestructible Divine Sense "saw" mist surging in the river.
Qin Mu immediately stopped his divine sense and "looked" into the distance, seeing a female figure flickering within the mist.
The woman's clothing was simple and ancient: a leopard-print skirt, a short jacket, straw sandals, and a simple peach wood hairpin in her hair.
"Celestial Venerable Ling..."
Qin Mu was stunned and immediately urged his Indestructible Divine Sense to pursue the woman on the river.
His divine sense entered the mist and rapidly traversed it, but the woman in the river mist still seemed very far away. No matter how fast his divine sense flew, he couldn't close any distance!
Qin Mu "saw" the mountains along both banks of Yongjiang fluctuate and change, and trees constantly wither and flourish. He suddenly realized.
The fluctuating mountains and the withering and flourishing trees were actually historical scenes. Yongjiang remained unchanged, but the surroundings had undergone vast transformations: some mountains sank underground, others emerged from beneath the earth.
Trees went from old age to youth, then became saplings, then seeds.
His divine sense wasn't flying; it hadn't moved at all.
This peculiar divine ability reminded him of Celestial Venerable Ling's proposed ability of unchanging matter.
The scenery along both banks of Yongjiang became increasingly bizarre. Numerous phantoms of gods and devils continuously appeared, transitioning from skeletons to corpses, from falling to standing up and fighting.
Qin Mu "saw" the history of Yongjiang's banks like a rapidly spinning lantern show. His divine sense was almost at its limit, and the scenery on both banks became even more ancient.
"Celestial Venerable Ling!"
His divine sense surged, trying to attract the attention of the woman in the mist.
The woman in the mist still couldn't hear his voice.
The scenes along the Yongjiang became increasingly ancient. Suddenly, a towering gate rose from the ruins, standing high.
It was a Southern Heavenly Gate.
Then he saw the Southern Heavenly Gate rise, and an incredibly magnificent Celestial Palace also rose, higher and higher. Yongjiang followed this Celestial Palace, ascending into the sky, its surging waters flowing straight into the nine heavens.
Qin Mu's divine sense reached its limit, and he shouted with all his might: "Celestial Venerable Ling—"
Suddenly, the mist dissipated, and the path ahead became clear. Qin Mu's divine sense was exhausted and vanished.
The moment his divine sense was exhausted, he "saw" the woman standing on the surface of the Heavenly River seem to hear something. She turned around and looked towards the direction of his divine sense, revealing a surprised expression: "Celestial Venerable Mu? Is that you? Celestial Venerable Mu!"
Qin Mu's divine sense collapsed.
"So you're not in the High Emperor era. Wait for me to come find you—" Celestial Venerable Ling's voice carried over.
A roaring sound echoed in Qin Mu's ears. He opened his eyes, finding himself still in his residence in the capital of Eternal Peace. The power of heaven and earth surged in, shaping the Heavenly River that spanned through the Celestial Palace and various divine treasures.
The Heavenly River had already taken shape, transitioning from ethereal to solid.
This divine treasure originated from the Celestial Palace, descending from the heavens. It traversed the starry river along the Divine Tree Bridge, flowing past the sun, moon, and seven stars, like a white ribbon, carrying immense water, spiraling down around the Divine Tree Bridge. It passed behind Qin Mu's primordial spirit, forming a large ring, then flowed into the Six-Directions Continent, straight through the Life and Death Divine Treasure, and vanished into the darkness.
As he absorbed the power of heaven and earth, the dark vortex beneath Qin Mu's feet gradually shrank, and the luminous vortex in the sky also diminished.
After a moment, a surging, tidal sound resonated the instant the two vortices disappeared. Qin Mu immediately felt the Heavenly River Divine Treasure forming a complete circulatory system within his body.
The Heavenly River that disappeared into Youdu reappeared in the Celestial Palace, circulating endlessly.
"I saw Celestial Venerable Ling in Yongjiang!"
Qin Mu was lost in thought, his heart still unable to settle. "I saw the High Emperor Heavenly Court! What was Celestial Venerable Ling doing in the High Emperor Heavenly Court?"
Qin Mu received a punch to the head, instantly swelling into a large bump. The Woodcutter Saint grumbled, "You brat, you've scared all the children in the capital into tears, and you're still daydreaming? If you weren't my disciple and I didn't know you inside out, I'd be trying to subdue you myself!"
Qin Mu snapped back to reality. He saw himself surrounded by a dense crowd: several Celestial Masters, successive Human Emperors, Granny Si, old and young Daoists and monks, all gathered there. Emperor Release Heavenly King Buddha had also arrived, his face slightly bruised, and Heavenly Kings Di Yiyue and Tian Shu had also rushed over.
There was also a man cloaked in darkness, who was Yama from Fengdu.
Yama, Di Yiyue, Tian Shu, and others must have arrived while he was opening the Heavenly River Divine Treasure.
Qin Mu felt quite touched. He let out a sigh of relief and smiled, "I didn't disappoint! I finally opened the twenty-sixth type of seventh divine treasure!"
"Let me smash it!" Old Farmer stepped forward, clenching his fist.
Qin Mu quickly said, "Wait!"
Swish, swish, swish!
Hands pressed down on Old Farmer's shoulders. Emperor Yanfeng, Imperial Preceptor, Granny Si, Butcher, and others were the first to press him down but were immediately shaken off.
Then Woodcutter, Fisherman, and others collectively tried to hold him down but were also shaken off by Old Farmer. Emperor Release Heavenly King Buddha also extended his hand, and a twenty-layered illusory Sumeru Mountain pressed directly onto Old Farmer's forehead.
Tian Shu drew his saber and held it to Old Farmer's neck. Di Yiyue pressed an Underworld Heavenly Gate onto Old Farmer's back.
Old Farmer sneered, "Even if all four of you Heavenly Kings were here, not just some of you, you might not be able to take me down! We Four Celestial Masters have never feared the Four Heavenly Kings!"
Scholar lightly fanned himself with his feather fan and smiled, "Zhuo Cha, Mu'er said 'wait.' Why are you so hasty to act?"
"Alright. I'll listen to Second Brother."
Old Farmer said cheerfully, "After he finishes speaking, I'll smash his divine treasure."
Qin Mu finally relaxed and smiled, "This Heavenly River Divine Treasure is the best divine treasure I've found, even superior to the Divine Bridge Divine Treasure. It's the Great Unification Divine Treasure!"
