Ancient Heaven

Chapter 731 Ancient Heaven

Old Cow stood on the river, staring blankly at the pleasure boats and tower ships that were shuttling back and forth. The desolate Daxu, which was originally dark at night, had turned into daytime at this moment. The Yongjiang River was also many times wider than before. Pleasure boats and tower ships with carvings of dragons and phoenixes painted on them passed by them.

The waves are rippling, and this river is actually flowing in the sky!

Lao Niu looked down and did not see the land of Daxu, but only saw stars hanging in the sky.

Those stars are near and far. The near ones appear very large, as if they are within reach, while the far ones look like the moon, but you can also see the mountains and buildings above the stars.

On both sides of the Yongjiang River, there are deep and deep palaces in the heavenly palaces. These palaces are more like continents, floating on both sides of the Milky Way. The palaces combined together form a vast heavenly court!

Lao Niu shook his head, a little confused.

I was just carrying Qin Mu through here, why did I encounter such a strange thing?

Also, a woman on the pleasure boat just now said that this is the Tianhe River. Tianhe? Isn’t this Yongjiang River?

Where has Daxu gone?

What about Yankang?

There is not a single piece of land. Where has the world I originally lived in gone?

The old cow swung its tail nervously, flapped its buttocks loudly, and stared around cautiously.

The source of Yongjiang River and the area around the cliff were originally sparsely populated areas. This area belongs to the hinterland of Daxu, but there is an astonishing fault.

Because of this fault, East Daxu is several thousand feet lower than West Daxu.

Because of this barrier, communication between the East and the West was originally blocked in Daxu. It was not until Qin Mu asked National Master Yankang and the magical masters from the West to pave the way and build two flying bridges that East Daxu and West Daxu were connected.

The Yongjiang River originates from this cliff, and the water flows out from the cliff and rushes eastward.

Qin Mu had observed carefully and suspected that there were five worlds overlapping at the source of Yongjiang River, and the water of Yongjiang River might come from the other five worlds.

Of course, this was just his guess when he was young.

When he discovered the Tianyin Realm and the countless densely packed heavens around it, he knew that his guess was absolutely wrong.

He guessed too few, and the actual number was too much.

After all, Lao Niu has followed the old farmer for tens of thousands of years. He has also experienced the Kaihuang era and his understanding of Yongjiang is even better than Qin Mu's.

Qin Mu only guessed that the water of Yongjiang came from other worlds, but he knew that Yongjiang was one of the most bizarre places in the entire Kaihuang era!

Back when this place was still a relic of the previous emperor's era, the young Kaihuang led a group of young people here. They started from scratch, built a great foundation, and created a glorious era that lasted for 20,000 years.

But at that time, the source of Yongjiang River was already a well-known strange place.

Kaihuang, the woodcutter, and other beings have explored this place before, and many incredible things have happened.

There is often fog in the river. When the fog emerges, people can see many incredible people and things, as well as other worlds. Once someone accidentally walked into the fog, and when he walked out of the fog, he found that thousands of years had passed in the world.

There was also a person who once encountered a lost passerby in the fog. The passerby said that he was a person from the time of the former emperor, who encountered the fog and lost his way. When the fog dissipated, the passerby disappeared.

The most famous thing that Lao Niu remembered happened here was that Kaihuang once mentioned that he disappeared here for several months when he was young, and mistakenly entered an incredible place. When he came back, he found that several months had passed.

He tried to find that incredible place again, but couldn't find it.

However, when others asked Kaihuang what happened and who he met in that incredible place, Kaihuang remained silent and was very secretive.

Later, many gods and demons came to Yongjiang to search, but found nothing, and the matter gradually faded away.

The Yongjiang fog incident was forgotten, but after Kaihuang proclaimed himself emperor, he often came here. It was unknown whether he was searching for that mysterious place.

Later, the Woodcutter Saint led the Tianzi Tribe here and conducted an in-depth exploration of Yongjiang River. They discovered many secrets of Yongjiang River and many heavens that were submerged in history. They also found the source of darkness and sent people in to find out.

But it was already the late Kaihuang era, and the Woodcutter Sage did not have time to find the result before the Kaihuang Catastrophe broke out.

"Perhaps the Great Heavenly Master knows many secrets about Yongjiang, but he is definitely not here now."

The old cow looked around cautiously, and saw that each of the heavenly palaces was guarded by extremely powerful gods and demons, so he did not dare to act recklessly. He thought to himself, "The problem now is, how can I get back to Daxu?"

At this moment, Qin Mu's voice came, and he asked in surprise: "Brother Sanduo, where is this place? Why did you bring me here?"

The old cow blinked and started to speak, but he didn't know what to say: "I..."

Qin Mu asked excitedly: "Is this the outer heaven?"

Lao Niu hesitated for a moment and said, "I also..."

Qin Mu stretched his body, his cultivation was still improving madly, and it was obvious that his cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds after integrating the five divine treasures. He looked around curiously, unable to suppress his excitement: "Brother Sanduo is worthy of being the strongest person under Wudou Tianshi. He is so arrogant that he dared to bring me to the Outer Heaven! Did Wudou Tianshi arrange any secret mission for you?"

Niu Sanduo looked at the water, not knowing how to answer.

Qin Mu asked: "Have you thought of a way out?"

"I……"

"I can build a psychic teleportation bridge!"

Qin Mu said excitedly: "But we have to find a secluded place. I got a lot of divine gold and materials from Emperor Shi Tianwang Buddha last time. We can definitely build another spiritual energy bridge. The national master should have an altar. He is preparing for the battle of Tianyu World..."

"Junior brother, I seem to be lost." Lao Niu said courageously.

"What mission did Wu Dou Tian Shi give you? To rescue the scholar Tian Shi, right? The scholar Zi Xi must have been captured and suppressed by the outer heaven, right?"

Qin Mu said excitedly: "Wait a moment, I will open the eye between my eyebrows!"

"Brother, I'm lost!"

Lao Niu couldn't help but said, "I'm really lost! I don't know where this damn place is! I don't recognize this place at all. Don't mess around and cause trouble. Let me sort out my thoughts first!"

Qin Mu looked dazed and asked suspiciously, "People say that an old cow knows the way. How did you get here? Just go back the same way you came."

The old cow said angrily: "I don't know how I got here! I jumped down from the Yongjiang cliff, and just as I stepped on the water, fog started to rise. When the fog cleared, I came here inexplicably. Don't talk, let me think carefully about how to get back!"

Qin Mu was silent, waited for a moment, and asked, "Brother, have you come up with an idea?"

Lao Niu lost his temper completely and shook his head, "My mind is blank and I can't think of a way to get back. Where on earth is this place? I have no idea at all..."

Qin Mu looked around and analyzed: "The pleasure boats here are very primitive. The most basic Xuanwu patterns are engraved on the pleasure boats. The power of Xuanwu to control water is used to make the boat float on the water. The power of the boat is still to let the water beast pull the pleasure boat, not the alchemy furnace. This is not the outer heaven. The heaven is not so backward..."

Lao Niu's eyes lit up, and he looked at the pleasure boats. Sure enough, he saw huge water beasts dragging the pleasure boats. He didn't notice these details, and asked hurriedly, "What else?"

Qin Mu peeled off the willow leaf between his eyebrows, revealing his third eye. He looked around at the people in the pleasure boats and the gods and demons in the heavenly palaces, and said in a deep voice: "The paths of the vital energy in their divine treasures are also very simple, and their divine treasures are also very primitive, not as sophisticated as the divine treasures of Yankang's divine masters. Moreover, their divine bridges are all complete, and no one's divine bridge is broken."

The old cow finally gained some confidence and asked, "What else can you see?"

"You can still see people without divine hiding."

Qin Mu looked solemn as he looked into the distance at a heavenly palace. There, a majestic deity was surrounded by blazing flames, as if enveloped by a huge sun. He said in a deep voice, "I may have seen the real Great Sun Star Lord. The Great Sun Star Lord who was born and raised without divine treasures is not the Great Sun Star Lord of the previous emperor's era..."

Lao Niu was at a loss, without any thoughts or ideas in his mind, and stammered: "You mean..."

"I mean..."

Qin Mu suddenly showed a youthful and sunny smile on his face. He waved to the woman on the oncoming pleasure boat and said, "Sister, here! Here! We are lost. Sister, where is this place?"

Lao Niu's face turned pale, and he thought to himself, "Brother Qin, are you so careless? We came here by mistake. There are so many experts here. What if we get caught and something goes wrong..."

The woman on the boat was dressed elegantly and gracefully. She was admiring the scenery at the bow. When she heard the voice, she looked over here. Her eyes lit up and she smiled, "Little brother, you are so sweet. This must be heaven. Come on board."

Lao Niu looked dazed and still hadn't come to his senses.

Qin Mu jumped onto the boat and called down, "Brother, you also come aboard. Sister is kind-hearted and is willing to give us a ride."

The old ox stood up hastily, shook its body, and turned into a divine being with an ox's head and a human body, and then jumped to the bow of the boat.

The woman looked at Qin Mu and saw that the young man was dressed in gorgeous clothes, handsome and elegant, with a natural and simple temperament. She felt a liking for him and said with a smile: "Today is a grand event in the Heavenly Palace. There are boats coming and going on the Milky Way. There are many young talents from the lower world who come to play. Is this your first time in the Heavenly Palace?"

Qin Mu nodded and said with a red face: "Senior Brother Niu and I are both here for the first time. We are like country people entering the city. We only know how to see the prosperity around us and get lost without realizing it."

The woman smiled and said, "It's always like this when I come to the Heavenly Palace for the first time. Your Majesty ordered the skilled craftsmen in the world to build the thirty-six heavenly palaces and seventy-two treasure halls, and to enfeoff the ancient gods. I also think it's a bit too complicated. Your Majesty also wants to give the Heavenly Palace a name, and is discussing with Tian Gong and Tu Bo what name to give it."

Niu Sanduo looked around and suddenly his eyes fell on a pleasure boat that was passing by them. He couldn't look away, as if he had seen a ghost.

Qin Mu was chatting and laughing with the woman. When he saw his expression, he was slightly startled and asked, "Brother, what's wrong?"

“Open, open, open…”

Lao Niu stuttered, his eyes still on the pleasure boat. Qin Mu followed his gaze and saw a young man talking and laughing with someone.

“Open, open…”

Lao Niu was still stuttering and unable to speak.

Qin Mu smiled and said, "Brother, what are you talking about?"

"Kai Huang!"

Niu Sanduo finally said those words, his voice hoarse: "I saw Kaihuang when he was young!"
