Chapter 925: Tearing the Heavenly Court

At that instant, even Qin Mu felt a chill run down his spine, as if plunging into an abyss.

Although the Heavenly Court realm was currently incomplete, it was, after all, the supreme realm; even in its fragmented state, it remained incredibly terrifying.

However, You Tianzun might not be a match for the mysterious figure on the sea.

Over the years, the Heavenly Court had been gathering various Imperial Throne cultivation techniques, intending to combine them all to create a complete Heavenly Court cultivation technique. Although they had not yet succeeded, they had nevertheless accumulated a vast number of techniques.

You Tianzun, however, had long since stepped out of the Heavenly Court's circle of power and gone to Youdu.

Although numerous Imperial Throne experts had died in battles throughout history, and the souls of some returned to Youdu after death, You Tianzun might have acquired many Imperial Throne techniques there. However, for a long time, Youdu's role had been continually weakened by the Heavenly Court. For instance, the Heavenly Court had ordered Black Emperor Yin Tianzi to create Mingdu, intending not only to weaken Tu Bo but also to intercept some of the souls of deceased Imperial Throne beings.

As a result, You Tianzun would be unable to develop a Heavenly Court realm technique!

Furthermore, the Heavenly Court occupied far too many resources, with Daoist Ancestor using classical divination to deduce the Dao runes of various ancient gods. Since You Tianzun lacked these ancient god Dao runes, he could not be a match for the mysterious figure on the sea.

What's more, another Tianzun-level being had arrived!

Cold sweat broke out on Qin Mu's forehead.

He had originally thought that the one coming to his rescue would be the Ancient God Heavenly Emperor, and if the Ancient God Heavenly Emperor were to act, tearing apart the Heavenly Court would be effortless.

He just hadn't expected You Tianzun to be so concerned about his safety and to personally intervene!

He was touched, but also worried for You Tianzun's safety.

You Tianzun and the mysterious figure on the sea erupted almost simultaneously. You Tianzun raised his lantern and slapped it down forcefully. Instantly, the sky and sea changed color, the entire Yao Sea seemed to suddenly flip over, and the next moment, it vanished from the Heavenly Court, appearing instead in a vast, dark world.

He had forcibly pulled the Heavenly Court's Jade Terrace and Yao Sea into Youdu!

Meanwhile, the mysterious figure on the sea also acted at the same time. Behind him, Heavenly Palaces connected heaven and earth, appearing one after another with thunderous roars, forming a vast and boundless Heavenly Court!

At the same time, another figure appeared on the surface of the Yao Sea in Youdu, with light erupting behind him and Heavenly Palaces emerging, also forming an incomplete Heavenly Court.

The two Tianzuns simultaneously raised their feet and stomped heavily on the surface of the Yao Sea. The space violently convulsed, forcibly pushing the Yao Sea back into the Heavenly Court!

"You Tianzun absolutely cannot withstand these two at the same time!"

Qin Mu decisively took action, forcibly obliterating the consciousness of the Creation Master on the altar, then abruptly stood up, and a beam of light shot out from his brow.

Qi Jiuyi, Yun Jianli, and others were startled, unsure of his intention, thinking Qin Mu had become incredibly daring to actually attack the two Tianzuns.

Unexpectedly, the divine light from Qin Mu's third eye in his brow was directed towards Yun Chuxiu, which confused the two even more.

The light from Qin Mu's brow burst forth, and a coffin appeared at Yun Chuxiu's feet. Yun Chuxiu let out a gasp and quickly stepped back two paces.

Qin Mu flicked his sleeve, and the coffin opened with a bang, divine light shimmering within.

Yun Chuxiu's heart skipped a beat as she saw the corpse inside the coffin.

Qin Mu strode towards the coffin and said in a deep voice, "If You Tianzun cannot hold them off, then I will use the Soul Guiding Art to summon the soul of this corpse's owner, reconstruct her divine soul, and revive her!"

Yun Chuxiu glanced at him, and Qin Mu's gaze happened to meet hers.

Their eyes met, and Yun Chuxiu giggled, "Master is indeed Master."

As soon as she finished speaking, the sky convulsed violently again. Another Tianzun descended, their aura erupting, a series of Heavenly Palaces emerging, and Daoist sounds reverberating ceaselessly!

However, this Tianzun was not targeting You Tianzun, but rather the two Tianzuns who had just arrived.

Both of those Tianzuns were stunned and somewhat disbelieving.

However, they had all concealed their true identities, not wanting to bear the stigma of killing Mu Tianzun, so at this moment, they couldn't discern who the suddenly appearing Tianzun was.

Qin Mu breathed a sigh of relief, closed the coffin, sent it back to the Qin-character continent in his eye, and nervously watched the situation.

Yun Chuxiu came to his side and watched the situation on the Yao Sea with him, saying in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, "Do you know who I am now?"

Qin Mu nodded gently, in an almost inaudible voice, "Yes. On the ghost ship, I once summoned the empress's soul."

Yun Chuxiu chuckled, "I've been wondering who the person who summoned my soul hundreds of thousands of years ago was. Later, when I heard about an indestructible Master, I guessed it might be you. It really is you."

Qin Mu burst into laughter.

Yun Chuxiu lowered her gaze, blushing and shy, twisting the corner of her robe, looking like a maiden in love. She whispered, "Keep my sister's corpse safe, or I won't let you off! Other ancient gods need your soul-reconstruction method, but I don't need it; my soul is complete, and I've already broken free from the shackles of my ancient god body!"

In the pavilion, Qi Jiuyi and Yun Jianli witnessed this scene and couldn't help but feel a pang of bitterness in their hearts.

Although Yun Jianli knew this woman harbored ill intentions, he still couldn't help but feel a sour taste, a hint of jealousy.

They hadn't realized, however, that Qin Mu and Yun Chuxiu were not engaged in romance at all; on the contrary, the situation was extremely perilous!

Qin Mu had simply grasped "Yun Chuxiu's" weakness, using the revival of Madam Yuanmu to threaten her. While "Yun Chuxiu," although helping Qin Mu escape his predicament, was also threatening him in return.

However, Qin Mu could finally use this to confirm a suspicion in his heart: that Empress Dowager's sister, Madam Yuanmu, was indeed dead, and had died by Empress Dowager's hand.

The Empress Dowager's assassination during the Dragon Han era was a major unsolved mystery, which could now be closed.

But at the same time, one question remained: why was Ling Tianzun's hairpin lodged in the back of Madam Yuanmu's head?

According to Qin Mu's speculation, back then, Empress Dowager had already reached an agreement with the Heavenly Alliance. When she returned to her hometown to visit relatives, she incited the Dragon Bo Kingdom to rebel and besiege Gui Xu.

The Heavenly Emperor sent the Feathered Forest Army to rescue them, and Empress Dowager, in front of Wei Suifeng, created the illusion of another Empress Dowager attacking and killing the Empress Dowager, making the world believe that she herself was the deceased.

In reality, it was she who had killed Madam Yuanmu, then faked her own death to escape, creating the illusion of her demise.

After that, Ling Tianzun acted, turning the Feathered Forest Army, who had witnessed the entire event, along with their flying ships, into ghost ships, creating the "Feathered Forest Army Trans-dimensional Incident" and erasing any traces.

At this point, Madam Yuanmu's corpse was probably not placed within the conjoined twin flowers of Gui Xu. Instead, Empress Dowager's primordial spirit entered Madam Yuanmu's corpse, returned to the Heavenly Court, and announced to everyone that the Empress Dowager had not died.

The Ancient God Heavenly Emperor had a great fondness for Madam Yuanmu and was happy to help her conceal that she was not the true Empress Dowager. He didn't expect that the person inside Madam Yuanmu's body was, in fact, the Empress Dowager herself.

Thus, Empress Dowager eliminated her disobedient sister and completed the process of replacing her.

Then, she conspired with Ling Tianzun to create Jue Wuchen, using him to plot against the Ancient God Heavenly Emperor and utterly destroy the pair who had betrayed her!

After eliminating the Ancient God Heavenly Emperor, she, Yun Tianzun, and Hao Tianzun immediately flew towards the Heavenly Court, preparing to seize the Heavenly Emperor's physical body. As for who ultimately seized it, that remained unknown.

Qin Mu connected these events, leaving only the question of why Ling Tianzun's hairpin was lodged in the back of Madam Yuanmu's head unresolved.

"Could it be that Ling Tianzun wanted to eliminate Empress Dowager and used the hairpin to kill her, but Empress Dowager was one step ahead and took the opportunity to shed this body instead?"

Qin Mu had a guess in his heart, but whether this was the historical truth remained unknown.

On the Yao Sea, four Tianzuns confronted each other, creating an extremely oppressive atmosphere that made it almost impossible for those on the island to breathe.

Besides them, there were many palace maids on the island who huddled together. Although they were all divine maidens, some even of demigod bloodlines with extraordinary origins, if the four Tianzuns were to make a move, they would have no chance of survival!

"Shu Jun, can you tell the identity of this Creation Master now?"

Qin Mu stirred his consciousness and asked the large mass of flesh on the Primordial Stone altar, "My transaction with you is complete."

The Creation Master he spoke of was the third Tianzun who appeared on the Yao Sea.

This person was the prehistoric Creation Master hidden within the Heavenly Court, and the one who had cast the great bloodline curse upon Yun Tianzun's descendants!

His arrival broke the balance between You Tianzun and the mysterious figure, forcing You Tianzun to make the first move.

On the altar, the large mass of flesh had transformed into a giant eye, observing the person through Qin Mu's vision.

That Tianzun had a colossal physique, and his face was enveloped in layers of light, making his features indiscernible.

"Not complete," Shu Jun said. "I cannot see his face."

Qin Mu sneered, "I found this Creation Master for you, so the transaction is naturally complete! As for you not being able to see his face, that's your lack of ability, it has nothing to do with me!"

Shu Jun coldly replied, "It's not my lack of ability, but yours! I am seeing him through your eyes, and I cannot see his face because your cultivation strength is too weak to penetrate the divine light on his face! If I don't know which Tianzun of the Heavenly Court he is, our transaction is not complete."

Qin Mu grumbled to himself.

At this moment, four Tianzuns stood in confrontation, forming another strange balance, with no one making the first move.

"You Tianzun has come a long way," a booming voice suddenly resounded from beyond the heavens, "I didn't expect it would cause infighting within my Heavenly Court." A divine being with white eyebrows, white beard, and white eyes, radiating boundless light, descended from the sky. With layers of halos shimmering behind his head, he laughed loudly, "You hide your faces, daring not to reveal your true identities, but I, Ancestor God King, am not afraid. I even want to kill my old father, Heavenly Grandfather, let alone a mere Mu Tianzun?"

The sky brightened considerably as an incredibly thick beam of light descended from the heavens, striking the surface of the Jade Pond Sea. The light rippled continuously, and then the white-haired Heavenly Grandfather appeared on the water's surface, his body slowly rising, growing taller and larger.

"Old man..." Ancestor God King's eyes twitched violently a few times as he saw Heavenly Grandfather descend.

Heavenly Grandfather remained silent.

Just then, space convulsed violently, and another Tianzun arrived, hiding his true identity, and laughed loudly, "Heavenly Grandfather has come a long way, gracing the Heavenly Court with your presence."

The situation became imbalanced again.

Heavenly Grandfather snorted, his voice like rolling thunder, "Tu Bo, are you still going to just stand by?"

Everyone was startled, only to see black mist billowing from the depths of the Yao Sea. Then the great sea parted, and Tu Bo's horns pierced the surface of the sea, slowly rising!

"Even Tu Bo can't sit still anymore!"

In the pavilion, Yun Jianli suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "The more people who arrive, the safer we are. Because if these individuals were to fight, the outcome would be hard to predict; even the Heavenly Court would be shattered! They won't fight!"

Qi Jiuyi also breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "But the Heavenly Court will split because of this."

"Tu Bo and Heavenly Grandfather have come together, why didn't you inform us earlier?" Another Tianzun approached, appearing on the Yao Sea, also concealing his face.

He had not yet stopped when suddenly, a fiery blaze erupted, and Southern Emperor Vermilion Bird arrived, appearing among these beings. Holding a peach blossom in her hand, she said with a smile, "Everyone, my abilities are slightly weaker than yours, but I am merely here to deliver something, not to interfere in your affairs."

She placed the peach blossom on the sea surface, and suddenly countless peach groves emerged, a ten-thousand-mile peach forest obscuring the surface of the Yao Sea.

Within the peach groves, palaces stood grandly. Several maidens carrying lanterns hung them under the eaves of the palaces and then returned inside.

Qin Mu breathed a sigh of relief; Moon Tianzun had also arrived.
