The Struggle for Survival

Chapter 1507: Living Beings Fight for Crossing

Qin Mu walked forward along the palaces of these enlightened people. Whenever he came across a palace, he would stop to comprehend the mysteries of the great Dao contained in these palaces and gained a lot.

Compared with the woodcutter's method of the Great Heavenly Court with thirty-six palaces and seventy-two treasure halls, the treasure hall in the ancestral palace of Yujing City does not follow the path of the innate way guarding the acquired way, but the path of the innate guarding the innate way.

"If Mr. Qiaofu's method works, perhaps we can escape the control of the master of Miro Palace."

Qin Mu pondered. The woodcutter's method, the seventy-two treasure halls are the innate way, while the thirty-six heavenly palaces are the acquired way. The innate protects the acquired, so as to cultivate the true heavenly realm and achieve a solid foundation.

It seems that there is only a difference of thirty-six celestial palaces between the two, but there is a fundamental difference. The woodcutter's method is to take the acquired way as the main one, and the innate way is only auxiliary.

The woodcutter did not practice this method himself, but taught it to Jiang Baigui.

In those days, when Taihuangtian was preaching, the former Yankang State Master went up to the altar. The woodcutter sage asked some questions, and Jiang Baigui answered them, which won the woodcutter's hope and allowed him to go up to the altar.

Afterwards, Jiang Baigui spent several years selecting the thirty-six avenues that were most suitable for him from the three hundred and sixty acquired avenues and chose his own path of cultivation.

The Woodcutter Saint only speculated that this method could cultivate a true heaven and create a great master who surpassed the Ten Heavenly Lords. But as to whether it could cultivate a heaven, he could not help, and could only rely on Jiang Baigui's own wisdom.

"Third Junior Brother's acquired heavenly palace has been opened up, and the seventy-two treasure halls have been repaired with his own methods, so he does not need to come to Yujing City. Yujing is no longer a trap for him."

Qin Mu continued to move forward, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that his own path of cultivation was full of twists and turns, but Jiang Baigui's path of cultivation was already smooth.

If Jiang Baigui cultivates to the Emperor Throne realm, he will be the culmination of the past million years of civilization, without a doubt!

"Strange, the Ten Heavenly Lords have split into two groups."

He stopped in front of another palace and checked the traces of fighting there. He found that the people who attacked were no longer Hao Tianzun and others, but Xiao Tianzun, Yan Tianfei and others.

The ten Heavenly Lords were divided into two groups and fought on their own. Judging from the footprints they left behind, one group was led by Lord Hao Tian and the other was led by Lord Xiao Tian.

"The Ten Celestial Lords have split up. Strange, judging from the footprints, there are only Nine Celestial Lords, and Concubine Qian is not among them..."

Qin Mu made his own judgment that the Ten Heavenly Lords were wandering around the outer palaces, trying to figure out the great principles hidden in each palace. Obviously, in addition to Hao Tianzun who received guidance from an "expert" and understood the functions of the seventy-two palaces, Xiao Tianzun also had guidance from an "expert"!

What’s strange is that Concubine Qiang Tian did not submit to Lord Hao Tian, ​​nor did she submit to Lord Xiao Tian.

Concubine Qiang Tian is the Emperor Taidi. It is not reasonable for him to side with anyone, but he is also a fickle person and very flexible.

If I exclude myself from these two groups, I will be isolated and helpless, which is very disadvantageous.

Therefore, the weird thing is that Emperor Tai decided to fight alone!

This is consistent with his character.

"They are all trying to sort out the Dao patterns of the Seventy-two Treasure Palaces before the other party and build the Seventy-two Treasure Palaces."

Qin Mu's eyes flickered, and he whispered, "If it were me, I would take away a few palaces while I was comprehending, so that the other party would not be able to obtain the Dao patterns of the seventy-two palaces, and cut off the other party's path to heaven."

Not long after, Qin Mu stood outside a piece of ruins with a grim face. Only broken walls and a huge deep pit were left in the ruins.

Just as he expected, the Ten Heavenly Lords took away the palace!

I just don’t know whether it was done by Lord Haotian or Lord Xiaotian.

"It is also possible that Concubine Qian Tian took away a palace as a bargaining chip with other Heavenly Lords. However, Concubine Qian Tian alone should not have such strength... It's too rude!"

Qin Mu said this angrily and continued to move forward. Not long after, he came to the ruins of a treasure palace. That treasure palace had also been taken away and was no longer here.

Qin Mu's forehead was throbbing with veins. It was understandable that the Ten Heavenly Lords would do this. One party discovered that the other party had taken away a treasure palace. The intention was obvious. So as a bargaining chip, they also had to take away a treasure palace that the other party had not had time to comprehend.

In this way, each party holds a treasure palace, making it impossible for the other party to complete the transaction, so neither party will suffer a loss in the transaction.

Qin Mu calmed down and sneered, "If I were the Ten Heavenly Lords, I would take a palace and bargain with the other party. If I can't get an advantage, I will suffer a loss. So, I simply take a few more palaces. This way, I have more capital, and the other party will have to bleed a lot of money to exchange for other benefits!"

Not long after, he stood in front of the ruins of another treasure palace with a face as black as charcoal. Obviously, someone among the Ten Heavenly Lords had the same idea as him and acquired the second treasure palace as capital.

“How shameless! But having said that, if I were the Tenth Heavenly Lord, I would try to take away all the other palaces that have not been comprehended…”

He walked forward, his face becoming increasingly darker, with veins throbbing on his forehead.

Sure enough, all the palaces had disappeared, apparently taken away by Hao Tianzun, Xiao Tianzun and others.

These palaces will become the capital for them to coerce and trade with each other. The Ten Heavenly Lords are more adept at doing this kind of despicable thing than Qin Mu.

Qin Mu had nothing to comprehend along the way, so he had to continue along the path of the Ten Heavenly Lords. As for the geographical map that Wei Suifeng gave him, he threw it behind his mind.

The Yujing City is extremely large. When walking in this city, it is impossible to tell where is the place marked by Wei Suifeng.

Suddenly, there was a roaring sound of water in front of him. Qin Mu's heart was moved: "Chaos River? So, I have reached the core of Yujing City!"

The ancestral Yujing City is extremely dangerous. In the ancient times, the Great Emperor gathered the strongest masters of the time, even including powerful ancient gods such as the later Emperor of Heaven Taichu, to explore this place, but they retreated when they encountered difficulties.

However, although Qin Mu's journey here was somewhat thrilling this time, he did not encounter any fatal danger. This was because the Ten Heavenly Lords were leading the way in front of him. The Ten Heavenly Lords eliminated these dangers, and his journey here was smooth sailing.

But from this point it can be seen that the current Ten Heavenly Lords are much more powerful than the Tai Emperor, Tai Chu and other beings of the past.

Finally, Qin Mu saw the Chaos River ahead.

He looked across the river but couldn't see anything on the other side.

He looked at the nearby geography and compared it with the map left by Wei Suifeng, but could not find any similar place.

"This river must have changed its course. It's not in the location on the geographical map. The geographical map that Senior Brother gave me is completely useless!"

Qin Mu shook his head and gave up looking for the mark on the map. He looked at the river with his eyes wide open, thinking, "How did the Ten Heavenly Lords cross the river?"

He looked towards the Chaos River, and the eye between his eyebrows immediately allowed him to see the scene in the river clearly.

I saw a scene of cosmic destruction in the river. Countless lives were struggling and trying to escape in the catastrophe, but they were all turned to ashes in the catastrophe and disappeared without a trace!

Even beings like the Ten Heavenly Lords had no power to resist in the catastrophe of destruction. They were directly annihilated and turned into a pure energy state, invisible, intangible and bodyless!

In the chaos, countless powerful creatures were struggling to cross the Chaos River and enter the Yujing City.

Qin Mu's heart moved slightly, and he put himself in the shoes of others and thought that if he were in this catastrophe, then when he looked up, he would definitely see an extremely spectacular scene.

As the entire universe collapsed and was destroyed, squeezed and stretched, there was chaos all around, with a world in ruins and people powerless to struggle.

At that time, when everyone looks up, they will see an ancient and powerful divine city standing in the chaos. No matter how fierce and terrifying the catastrophe is, it will not be able to shake this divine city in the slightest.

And that divine city is the ancestral Yujing City under Qin Mu’s feet!

I think this is what the people in that destroyed universe see!

From Qin Mu's perspective, these powerful creatures were just struggling in the Chaos River and trying to get ashore.

Only in this way can we explain why the strong beings in that destroyed universe are trying hard to swim to the surface of the river.

"The master of Miro Palace is amazing. He was able to forge such a divine city and survive the catastrophe of destruction! But where is the World Tree?"

He glanced at the chaotic river. The eye between his eyebrows used Taiyi's eggshell, which could penetrate the chaotic energy. After searching for a while, Qin Mu finally found the world tree of the ancestral temple.

I saw that the roots of the World Tree were vast and boundless, and in the destroyed universe, the roots were flying, like a giant octopus with countless tentacles swimming in the chaos.

There were also many people struggling in the destruction, trying to swim towards the roots of the World Tree and try to grab the roots.

Many powerful beings have already climbed up to the roots of the World Tree. Those powerful beings try to split the roots and integrate themselves into the roots to avoid the catastrophe of destruction.

They hid in the tree roots, relying on the World Tree to preserve their lives.

As long as those stowaways convert mass and energy and steal the mass and energy of the future universe, they can take the opportunity to escape from the catastrophe and gain a new life!

However, from Qin Mu's perspective, the World Tree was now shaky and could hardly protect itself!

He also saw a giant with a stature, swinging an axe to chop down the World Tree!

The giant's body was hazy, like a shadow. It should be Taiyi in the future universe who was chopping down this precious tree that had existed for sixteen cosmic eras. Cutting down the precious tree would cut off the hopes of those stowaways!

And those prehistoric warriors who had already climbed up to the roots of the treasure tree cried and cursed the giant's phantom. It seemed that Taiyi had already gathered all kinds of vicious curses on himself.

"Taiyi is so fierce!"

Qin Mu couldn't help but exclaim in admiration and retracted his gaze.

He was not completely sure that he could cross this chaotic river. He saw many powerful beings in the river, with only bones, souls, or Tao fruits left. They were moving around in the river, trying to catch people who were crossing the river, drag them into the water, and get themselves ashore.

If you fall into the river, you will definitely die!

"So how did the Ten Heavenly Lords cross the river?"

Qin Mu looked into the river and suddenly saw the vague figure of Xiao Tianzun in the chaotic air. He saw Xiao Tianzun standing on a Taoist tree, using the Taoist tree as a boat, and sailing to the other side of the river!

He looked further away and his heart skipped a beat. The Ten Heavenly Lords were all in the river!
