605: Great Heavenly Cycle Stars Algebra

Great Heavenly Cycle Stars Algebra

Qin Mu, Qi Jiuyi, and Zhe Huali finally arrived at the foot of the divine mountain. The divine mountain was solemn and serene, emanating an extraordinary grace. Rays of golden sunlight washed off the surroundings. They couldn't stop admiring the mountain and they didn't dare to just fly towards it.

They chose to walk on foot.

The stairs of this divine mountain reached straight up to the golden-roofed shrine. There must have been a lot of bitter battles here as the stone steps were all covered in splotches of blood.

The blood had flowed down from the top, and it was very hard for the blood of a god to dry up. Even after ten to twenty thousand years, they would still give off terrifying pulses. However, the gods' blood and devils' blood here have already lost their essence. They had transformed into patches of brown blood stains that were astonishing to see.

What was strange was that there were no traces of battle here.

Qin Mu executed Carefree Sword and slashed down on the divine mountain. Sparks flew in all directions and his hands went numb from the vibration. However, no mark was left behind.

There seemed to be a kind of indescribable power flowing here and protecting the divine mountain.

"Even the previous respectable king and numerous devil gods from Luofu Heaven couldn't leave any marks after fighting their way here. What exactly is the origin of this mountain?" Qin Mu was very puzzled.

Zhe Huali and Qi Jiuyi looked at each other. They both understood each other and didn't say a word.

Zhe Huali's gaze flickered as he thought to himself, 'Even Respectable King couldn't leave a mark on this mountain. Is this mountain really fake? It doesn't seem like it...'

They continued forward and a corpse of a god appeared in front of them. There were no more flesh and blood. Qin Mu took quick steps to look closely, and saw that the clothes on this corpse had already decomposed. The blood and flesh had also rotted.

The corpse had three neck bones with three skulls facing three different directions. He had six arms and each arm was grabbing a divine weapon.

"A god that had died in battle!"

Qin Mu's eyes lit up and he immediately grabbed towards one of the fierce tiger wine jars. However, as soon as his palm touched the wine jar, the divine weapon suddenly turned into dust.

Qin Mu was stunned. He saw that the skeleton that was holding the wine jar had also crumbled. Eventually, the entire skeleton shattered into powder. As for the other divine weapons, they also shattered into pieces. They couldn't be swept up even if he wanted to.

Zhe Huali walked over and said in a puzzled voice, "Could they have been shattered by his opponent?"

Qi Jiuyi shook his head. He suddenly sliced his fingertips and dripped a drop of golden blood on the stone steps. His blood dried up quickly, as though the essence in his blood were all sucked in by these stone steps.

Qi Jiuyi's expression became grim and he said solemnly, "It was this divine mountain that had absorbed all his essence. Even the essence in the divine weapons couldn't be preserved."

Qin Mu said seriously, "Brother Qi, we are now swept onto the abnormal star at the same time. If you know anything, why don't you share it with us? We might find a way out of here."

The wound on the tip of Qi Jiuyi's finger automatically healed. He shook his head and said with a smile, "This is the first time I've come down to the lower bound. How would I know anything about this world? Brother Qin, stop joking."

Qin Mu looked at the wound on his fingertip and he was astonished. His wound automatically healed and didn't need any medicine. Was it the effect of his technique or was it the effect of his unique constitution?

Zhe Huali was also astonished. In the battle in front of the god city in the painting, Qi Jiuyi's injury was the most severe. Qin Mu had beaten him up heavily. He even got stabbed by Qin Mu, almost dying in the process.

However, after only a few days, Qi Jiuyi recovered back to normal. His cultivation didn't decrease—it had even surpassed its previous state!

The three of them had their own intentions as they continued to move forward. On the stone steps were corpses of gods in all sizes. Some were from devil gods and some were gods.

As long as the gods had three heads and six arms, their skeletons were nearly similar, so they were from the same race.

The essences in their corpses, divine weapons, and devil divine weapons had been all absorbed by this divine mountain. Not a single drop was left behind and just a light touch could turn them into dust.

Zhe Huali examined the corpses of these three-headed and six-armed gods and he frowned. He looked at Qi Jiuyi and asked in a low voice, "Are these corpses from the god race in the celestial heavens?"

Qi Jiuyi shook his head and whispered, "I don't know too. There are some three-headed and six-armed gods, but they don't belong to a race. Furthermore, there are so many of them here, so I don't think they are from the celestial heaven. This divine mountain..."

He shook his head before continuing. "The one in the celestial heaven is the real one. This should be fake, but why is this mountain so strong as well?"

He was slightly bewildered.

The demon knife behind Zhe Huali opened its demon eye and it looked around. Even the demon eye couldn't see anything.

"You're saying that this divine mountain is real? How can that be possible?" Zhe Huali said in a puzzled tone.

Qi Jiuyi looked up and saw Qin Mu walking very quickly, almost reaching the mountaintop. He said hurriedly, "This divine mountain is strange, let's go up too. If there's any treasure, he will probably take it first!"

Both of them rushed towards the top, only to see Qin Mu standing at the end of the stone steps. They came to his side in a hurry and saw a devil god standing in front of Qin Mu. His eyebrows were long and he was holding a three-pointed double-edged knife, looking very awe-inspiring.

They raised their heads and saw the face of the devil god projecting a natural dignity and power. He was looking down at them, as though the three-pointed double-edged knife could slash down at them at any moment!

Qi Jiuyi and Zhe Huali froze. They didn't dare to move.

Qin Mu let out a shaky breath as he took a step to move to the side of the devil god. He saw another face.

He then walked around the devil god. He saw that this devil god actually had four faces on his front, back, left, and right. He said with a smile, "Senior brothers, there's no need to worry. He should be dead for a long time. When I just climbed up here and saw the eyes of his back face staring at me, I was also frozen in shock. I thought I was going to die in his hands."

Qi Jiuyi and Zhe Huali came back to their senses, and they let out a sigh of relief. Their bodies were covered in cold sweat.

Zhe Huali circled around and said in a surprised voice, "Four-faced devil god? Could he be the previous respectable king? Why is he standing here? He didn't enter the hall?"

Qin Mu examined the devil god in detail and said, "Four faces, one more than Fu Riluo. Could it be the same technique as Fu Riluo's? Fu Riluo has yet to cultivate to his level?"

Qi Jiuyi followed him to walk around this respectable king. He examined carefully as well. "It might not be so. Fu Riluo has ears at the back of his head and he didn't have a fourth face. They should be from the same race, but different breed. Fu Riluo's cultivation wouldn't be weaker than him... The wound is right here!"

He discovered something and pointed at the neck of the four-faced respectable king. Qin Mu looked over and saw a fine red line that was hard to detect on the neck.

This respectable king must have suffered from a sneak attack when he fought his way here and got his neck smeared.

Qin Mu opened his mouth and blew a mouthful of air to transform into wind. He blew at the head of the four-faced respectable king. The head promptly rolled off his neck and smashed on the stone steps, breaking like porcelain.

A moment later, the body of this respectable king crumbled as well. He was like a devil god statue made of porcelain. His corporeal body was already emptied, and the flesh and blood had ceased to exist—only his skin was left!

That three-pointed double-edge blade had also shattered into pieces!

Qin Mu shuddered and he turned around to look at the shrine.

The four-faced respectable king had suffered from an attack just as he was about to step into the shrine. His head had been severed, slaying his primordial spirit!

At this moment, the shrine was right in front of them. The door was open and it was dim inside. From time to time, light would flow into his vision.

Qi Jiuyi's gaze flickered and he said gently, "Brother Qin, are you going in? There might be danger inside!"

Qin Mu gritted his teeth and walked forward while saying solemnly, "Senior brothers, I'll go inside to scout first. If there's any danger, I'll let you know right away so you can both escape!"

Qi Jiuyi was astonished as he looked at Zhe Huali. Likewise, Zhe Huali's face revealed the same expression as he looked at him. The two youths were puzzled. Did Qin Mu really treat them as friends that had gone through life and death? Was he really willing to put himself in danger?

They didn't have much contact with Qin Mu, but they did know that Qin Mu wasn't such a person!

In front of them, Qin Mu walked into the shrine and his figure faded out. The light in the dim shrine was still flowing. Qi Jiuyi and Zhe Huali looked nervously at the door of the shrine. They carefully listened to the movements inside.

Suddenly, there was an incomparably miserable shriek. They both felt their blood ran cold!

Qin Mu's miserable shriek came from inside. "There's—"

The voice was suddenly cut off!

Whoosh—

Qi Jiuyi and Zhe Huali rushed down the mountain at once. They transformed into two flowing lights, moving incomparably fast.

They scaled up the mountain in an hour, while it only took them a few breaths' time to reach halfway down the mountain!1

Suddenly, Zhe Huali stopped and said solemnly, "Brother Qi, stop! Something is wrong!"

Qi Jiuyi immediately stopped and turned around to reveal a bewildered look.

Zhe Huali sneered. "His scream was pretty energetic. How did he sound like a dying person? Besides, do you think a person that could kill the previous respectable king would give him time to warn us?"

Qi Jiuyi stared with his eyes wide open as he cried out, "Do you mean that... Let's go up quickly!"

They quickly flew up the mountain and came to the front of the shrine. Zhe Huali took in a deep breath, and slowly walked towards the shrine while holding his demon knife.

Qi Jiuyi followed behind him. His heads popped out from his neck as he looked around nervously.

Finally, they came to the door. One of the heads of Qi Jiuyi popped out from his shoulders while the other heads hid behind Zhe Huali. He looked into the shrine, and what he saw stunned him.

Qin Mu was inside with a bunch of calculation tools, assembling them together. They then formed a large-scale calculation spirit weapon.

Qi Jiuyi gritted his teeth and pulled back his nine heads, combining into one. He walked out from Zhe Huali's back and stepped inside the shrine.

Zhe Huali followed him and entered also.

The two youths sneered. Qin Mu raised his head and revealed a look of astonishment. He then smiled and said, "Senior brothers came at the right moment. I was about to tell you guys that there was a difficult algebra question in the shrine."

Qi Jiuyi sneered as he examined the shrine. He saw that there was a huge iron throne in the center. This iron throne was made up of swords and knives, and a three-headed and six-armed god was sitting on it. Five of his hands were grabbing onto the iron throne's armrests, while the other hand was pointing in one direction.

His three heads were facing in different directions and his mouth was wide open. His eyes were opened wide and he seemed to be giving out a heart-wrenching roar.

What was even stranger was that the flesh and blood in his entire body had dried up—only his dry skin was stuck onto his bones. He was like a dry corpse that was emaciated.

The eyes in his eye sockets were also dried out, sinking into his eye sockets. Only his black shriveled-up pupils could be seen.

In front of this three-headed and six-armed god, a small case was floating. It was a jade case that wasn't very big and it floated silently. Trails of sunlight leaked out from the small case, swirling around it.

Meanwhile, around the small case, there were grains of star-shaped sands of all sizes. These stars were all swirling around the small case.

The three-headed six-armed devil god was pointing at a mural. On the mural, there was a picture of a bunch of stars. It took up the entire wall.

Qi Jiuyi and Zhe Huali followed the direction of his finger. They realized that he was pointing at a stellar system. In the center of that stellar system, there was a picture of a land. On the land, there were layers of heavens.

"The stars that are swirling around the small case is indeed an algebra question!"

Qi Jiuyi examined carefully. His face revealed a shocked expression as he cried out, "Great Heavenly Cycle Stars Algebra of the celestial heavens! Zhe Huali, have you learned this before in Spirit Elite Guards?"

Zhe Huali nodded his head and his expression was grim. "It was indeed the Great Heavenly Cycle Stars Trajectory. Inside of it, there's a difficult algebra question which corresponded with the cycle of the stars on the wall, forming a killing formation. As long as one solves this difficult problem, he will be able to enter the killing formation and take out this small case!"

Qi Jiuyi and Zhe Huali hurriedly took out all kinds of calculation spirit weapons to rapidly calculate.

At this moment, Qin Mu stood up and the huge calculation spirit weapons beside him flew back into his taotie sack.

"Senior brothers, there's no need to calculate. It's thirty-three thousand years."

Qin Mu walked forward and examined the Heavenly Cycle Stars Killing Formation that shrouded the small case. "It's the star atlas of thirty-three thousand years ago. It has slight difference from Eternal Peace's astronomical phenomenon. I'm ashamed to say it, but when I solved the question just now, I actually understood the true fourteenth sword for Dao Sect from it!"

He raised his brows and turned around to face the mural. He said with a smile, "Also, I even had a wonderful discovery. The star atlas on this mural is from the southern part of Great Ruins thirty-three thousand years ago. The place it is observing is in the vicinity of the southern sea. Do you guys think it's weird or not? This three-headed and six-armed god is from Great Ruins' South Sea thirty-three thousand years ago!"

Qi Jiuyi and Zhe Huali looked at each other. They immediately stepped into the Heavenly Cycle Stars Killing Formation, rushing towards the small case.

Qin Mu had solved the question and mentioned the answer. They could use this answer to easily rush into the killing formation to seize the small case.

"Crap, I think my calculations are wrong!"

In front of the star atlas mural, Qin Mu suddenly slapped his head and stamped his feet. "It should be thirty-five thousand years instead! Senior brothers, you guys... Why have you guys gone in already? What am I going to do now?"
