644: Heaven Duke who had Fallen into the Seal

Heaven Duke who had Fallen into the Seal

"Eye..."

The youths on the flying ship couldn't help becoming awestruck. They tried to look into the depths and have a clear view of Heaven Duke's eyes, but they could only see light.

Ling Yuxiu muttered, "If this ship has to sail two days to be able to see the entire eye of Heaven Duke, how big is Heaven Duke's true body?"

"He should be on a par with Earth Count."

Qin Mu said, "I have seen Earth Count's true body before. His horns were made from destroyed worlds, and they were vast and beyond compare. Natural-born gods like him have remarkable abilities that ordinary humans can never imagine."

Chi Xi said, "If you can see the full appearance of Heaven Duke, you will be able to see how many suns are hidden in his body."

The flying ship sailed in Heaven Duke's gaze which was shining intensely. Even though the speed of the ship was fast, Heaven Duke's eye was simply too huge. After sailing for two days and two nights, Qin Mu and the rest turned around, and they finally saw the outline of his eye.

This eye that beamed boundless light, not to mention completely blocked their vision, made their flying ship look insignificant when compared to it. Moreover, they were still unable to see the full appearance of Heaven Duke despite seeing his eye.

While Qin Mu was staring at it, the golden willow leaf on his eye seemed to be blown off by a gust of wind, and it suddenly fell from the heart of his brows.

This alarmed him, and he hurriedly grabbed hold of the golden willow leaf. At this moment, he suddenly felt something tunneling into his third eye.

What had tunneled in was a trail of light, which vanished after entering his eye.

Qin Mu was bewildered. He moved his primordial spirit around to search, but he couldn't find any abnormality in his third eye.

"Could I have just imagined it?" he exclaimed inwardly as he picked up the golden willow leaf and stuck it back on the heart of his brows.

Meanwhile, in the depths of his third eye and among the layers of seals, a vast land floated in the darkness. This piece of land was his jade pendant, and on it, the path of the unbroken chain of peaks formed a 'Qin' word.

Above this land, the voice of a great buddha was reverberating in the sky. The lingering buddha voice was trying to suppress that fierce existence that was being suppressed in this land.

At that moment, a ray of light shone in and lighted up the land in the darkness. This ray of light moved around the sky without stopping, circling around the Qin word seal continuously.

In the center of the Qin word seal, a colossal baby was lying there in utter boredom. Playful sounds were heard as he babbled while putting his toes in his mouth.

This baby was Qin Fengqing. He pulled out his toe from his mouth as he noticed the light. His expression suddenly became fierce, revealing a mouth full of razor-sharp teeth. "Big fella, what are you looking at? I'll eat you if you continue looking!"

"I'm naturally looking at you."

The light shrunk into an orb and an ancient voice came from it. "Interesting lifeform... Youdu could actually give birth to a fierce and malevolent spirit like you. It just shows that Earth Count's control on Youdu has become weaker."

Qin Fengqing stood up. He jumped and clapped his hands as he tried to grab this ball of light.

The ball of light avoided him and said, "I'm Heaven Duke of Xuandu, a god that's like Earth Count. You can't do anything to me. I'm just here to take a look at you, interesting little fellow..."

Qin Mu licked his lips in excitement. "As big as Old Man Earth Count? How long will I have to eat to finish devouring you?" While saying those taunting words, he continued to hop around and catch the ball of light. He jumped higher and higher until he got smacked back down by the seal.

"So, you are a stubborn little brat. No wonder you got sealed. I'm only here to see you, so I'm taking my leave now."

Qin Fengqing was still jumping around, chasing him relentlessly. He wanted to eat him. The ball of light flew out, and at this very moment, the lines of a willow leaf appeared outside the heaven and blocked his way. At the same time, trails of devil light and devil qi came out from this land and sealed the sky!

"Crap! I've fallen into the seal!"

The ancient voice from the ball of light said, "Earth Count really went all out for this seal. He actually used his horn to seal him. Once that willow leaf covers this eye, it will activate the power of Earth Count's horn! I'm merely a clone. I don't have the magic power to break out!"

When he finished speaking, buddha rays shone brightly in midair and linked together with the golden willow leaf and the horn of Earth Count.

This clone of Heaven Duke was instantly suppressed. He fell on the Qin word seal, transforming into an elder wearing a white robe. He had white eyebrows, white beard, and white hair that was fluttering in the wind. He raised his head to look at Qin Fengqing and muttered, "There's also the seal of Brahma... Indeed, Brahma had connected the golden willow leaf and the horn of Earth Count together, allowing the golden willow leaf to have the effect of activating Earth Count's seal, trapping me here..."

Qin Fengqing was ineffably excited as he pounced at the elder in white.

…

On the flying ship, Qin Mu suddenly felt the heart of his brows swelling up. It was slightly painful, so he hurriedly clutched at it.

"What happened to you?" First Ancestor asked in concern.

"The heart of my brows suddenly hurts."

Qin Mu felt the pain becoming more and more intense. His palm trembled from the vibrations. First Ancestor Human Emperor said in a hurry, "Put your hand down and let me take a look!"

As soon as Qin Mu removed his hand, First Ancestor Human Emperor immediately saw something that seemed to be rolling around under the golden willow leaf. It made the willow leaf bulge up from time to time as it moved continuously.

"Heaven and Earth Mudra, Flipping Heaven and Earth!"

First Ancestor Human Emperor gave a shout and his mudra gently pressed on the heart of Qin Mu's brows. His mudra passed through the leaf and struck straight into Qin Mu's third eye, transforming into a huge palm print that flipped the heaven and earth. This mudra smacked down the clone of Heaven Duke that was trying to break out of the seal.

When this mudra landed, heaven wasn't heaven and earth wasn't earth. The Qin word land was flipped, and the clone of Heaven Duke grunted as he got squashed.

First Ancestor Human Emperor pulled his palm back, and he asked in concern, "How do you feel now?"

Qin Mu said in astonishment, "It's no longer painful. It's really not painful anymore!"

First Ancestor Human Emperor smiled. "This is the marvel of Heaven and Earth Mudra. Cultivate more and live up to my teachings' expectations."

Qin Mu gave a sound of acknowledgment before running off to cultivate his primordial spirit with Ling Yuxiu. First Ancestor Human Emperor let out a sigh of relief. After a moment, his expression turned serious.

Inside Qin Mu's third eye, Qin Fengqing ran eagerly towards Heaven Duke's clone. After grabbing his legs, he smashed him around in random directions. He continued smashing this elder in white until he was limp and confused. He then straightened him and took a bite.

"Ee, no flavor?"

Qin Fengqing was skeptical. He saw that the portion he had chewed off was a ball of light. Since he couldn't taste any flavor, he promptly chucked the elder in white to one side—he had lost interest in him.

The elder in white got up and rubbed his waist. He felt pain and soreness in his limb, but since he was a ball of light, he could recover very fast after being bitten!

"Why don't we play hide-and-seek?"

All of a sudden, Qin Fengqing was interested in him again. He clapped his hands and ran over with his short stumpy legs. He said in a baby voice, "You will hide, and if I catch you, I will pull apart your arms and legs! Since you can grow them back, we can play this game for a very long time!"

…

"Heaven Duke's intense light will mask our flying ship's light trail. In this case, we don't have to worry about being detected by the celestial heavens."

Chi Xi looked behind him, and he let out a sigh of relief. "Now the pursuers won't be able to track us down."

Pangong Tso was unconvinced. "Are there really pursuers?"

First Ancestor nodded his head. "This is a great opportunity to find the remaining survivors of Crimson Light God Dynasty, so the celestial heavens won't let this chance go. When we left Luofu Heaven, we were already being watched. Your cultivations are a little weak, so you guys didn't sense anything, but I felt a pair of eyes staring at us. When we entered Heaven Duke's Xuandu, we finally shook off that person."

Chi Xi said, "The person that was chasing us should be Great Sun Sovereign."

First Ancestor froze. "It's actually him? I don't know much about him, but I have heard rumors of Great Sun Sovereign of extraterritorial celestial heavens. His speed is extremely fast. Also, he has many gods under him. If he's the one who's chasing us, we will probably find it hard to shake him off."

Chi Xi executed the star atlas again. After looking at it, he said, "If we avoid the suns on the way, we should be able to shake off this star sovereign."

Meanwhile, Qin Mu and Ling Yuxiu's primordial spirits were dancing together in the air. Qin Mu's primordial spirit asked curiously, "I've seen Sun Sovereign before. His abilities aren't very high. He got slashed to death by my Grandpa Butcher in a single knife move. Where is this Great Sun Sovereign from?"

First Ancestor Human Emperor explained patiently, "Great Sun Sovereign is different from Sun Sovereign. Sun Sovereign is merely a little pawn. He's an ordinary god from Founding Emperor Celestial Heavens, and he was a god of Sun Herd Tribe. Later, he betrayed Founding Emperor Celestial Heavens and became the dog of the extraterritorial celestial heavens. On the other hand, Great Sun Sovereign is rumored to be a god born from the sun. There are Golden Crow Spirit Body, Fire Dragon Spirit Body, and Fire Crow Spirit Body—they are all cultivations according to the form of Great Sun Sovereign. After cultivating to become a god, the battle stance—that was shown after the primordial spirit and corporeal body fuses—would be the form of Great Sun Sovereign. The form of Sun Sovereign should also be the form of Great Sun Sovereign."

Qin Mu and Ling Yuxiu's primordial spirits returned to their bodies. Qin Mu's heart was slightly shaken as he cried out, "An ancestral god like Saturn Sovereign?"

First Ancestor Human Emperor said, "You know Saturn Sovereign? Saturn Sovereign is one to two ranks lower than Great Sun Sovereign. However, she isn't on the level of an ancestral god. She's not as strong as, and as ancient as Great Sun Sovereign. Great Sun Sovereign is one of the big shots in the extraterritorial celestial heavens, while Saturn Sovereign can only be considered a big shot of a place."2

Qin Mu and the rest seemed to understand, and yet not understand.

…

After the flying ship left the eye of Heaven Duke, a trail of light followed the traces of light left behind by the ship. The trail of light rushed into Xuandu, but there wasn't any trace left by the flying ship. They had completely disappeared.

"These fishes that have slipped the net are truly crafty."

The light paused and transformed into a god with bird wings, a human body, and three legs. The bird head had three eyes. On his forehead, there was a vertical eye that contained boundless flames. It was like a sun hidden in the eyes.

His legs had dragon scales, while his wings had black phoenix feathers. When the wings covered his body, it was as though he was wearing a black robe that hung all the way to his feet.

This god was incredibly huge, but compared to Heaven Duke, he was insignificant. He raised his head to look at Heaven Duke's eye and asked loudly, "Heaven Duke above, may I ask if you have seen a ship passing by this place?"

Heaven Duke, who was in Xuandu, was very busy. He was supervising the operations of all the stars in various worlds. After a moment, a ball of starlight appeared before Great Sun Sovereign and transformed into a person of light whose face couldn't be seen clearly. His voice rumbled like thunder. "I have not seen any ship as I'm supervising the stars of the heavens. There are numerous celestial soldiers and generals on the numerous stars in my Xuandu. You can ask them."

"Sorry for disturbing Heaven Duke. I seek your forgiveness." After saying his words of apology, Great Sun Sovereign flapped his wings to leave.

That person of light also dispersed.

Not long after, light shone brightly from the stars on Heaven Duke's body as tens of thousands of gods flew out from these suns. A great number of suns seemed to link together into lines from the divine rays given off from these gods. They flew around as they searched for the ship in all directions.

"Caw caw caw—"

These flying gods, who had filled the entire sky, were Fire Crow Gods. They had a crow head and a human body. On each god's back, there were fire-red wings and a quiver. Their hands were clutching vermillion red bottle gourds while their three bird claws clutched huge bows. Their speed was extremely fast.
