Shu Jun's messy head was very eye-catching. When he saw everyone's gaze on him, he let out a sigh of relief and said solemnly, "This Hall of Fragrance is the building of Jade Capital City."
"Which Jade Capital City?" Everyone was puzzled.
There were too many people in Jade Capital.
Eternal Peace Empire had a Little Jade Capital, and the celestial heavens also had a Jade Capital. The celestial palaces of the other great emperors also had buildings like Jade Capital.
"Jade Capital City of the ancestral court."
Shu Jun paused and said, "Back then, when I was still a primordial divine king, I went to explore a mysterious place with the Grand Emperor, Grand Primordium, and other divine kings. That place was the Jade Capital of the ancestral court. We saw many inconceivable things…"
His expression was strange, and it was obvious that even now, he still found it inconceivable. After a moment, he continued, "Over there, we suffered heavy casualties, but our discovery was too astonishing, so we sealed up that place. It must have been during that expedition that one of us brought out the Hall of Fragrance."
Qin Mu examined the Hall of Fragrance. It was indeed not a treasure that the previous masters of creation could create.
During the ancient primordial era, the masters of creation relied on their consciousness to visualize battles. Their buildings were mostly simple and had no decorations. They didn't develop their own art.
Every era had its own unique art inheritance. The buildings and aesthetics of the Dragon Han Era were mostly worshiped by the ancient gods with their totems. There were strange pictures of ancient gods everywhere.
Crimson Light Era advocated masculine beauty. There were pictures of majestic gods and devils with three heads and six arms everywhere, displaying the beauty of the power of the corporeal body.
During the High Emperor Era, the North and South High Emperors opposed each other. The North High Emperor was ruled by half-gods, while the South High Emperor was ruled by humans. The philosophy of the South High Emperor was that human life was greater than heaven, therefore, there was a lot of art to showcase the philosophy of human victory.
When it came to the Founding Emperor Era, the divine arts became intricate, and the art also reached its peak. The art of this era was extremely complicated, and it showed more of the Postcelestial Great Dao and daily life.
On the other hand, the art of Eternal Peace Era had yet to fully develop and there were even more varieties. For example, Deaf was skilled in painting gods, ghosts, monsters, and beauties.
However, the Hall of Fragrance's artistic style had nothing to do with these eras. The Hall of Fragrance could indeed have come from the Jade Capital City of the ancestral court.
However, this kind of art was obviously not innate. It was an art created by people. This was strange!
'Could it be that the Jade Capital City of the ancestral court wasn't naturally formed but man-made?'
Qin Mu had a weird expression. After he had seen the four great heavenly gates of the ancestral court, the Nine Hells Stage, God Execution Stage, Heavenly Sea, Jade Stage, and other places, he had a preconceived notion that the Jade Capital City of the ancestral court was also a peculiar place formed by the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.
However, from the Hall of Fragrance, this Jade Capital City was probably not a marvel formed by heaven and earth, but a god city created by humans!
There was no civilization before the masters of creation, so when was the Jade Capital City forged?
He became alert and thought about the coffin of the previous universe under the Jade Pool, as well as the fact that the entire ancestral court was a huge sacrificial altar.
"The Jade Capital City of the ancestral court is probably a product of the previous universe era and wasn't destroyed by the destruction of the universe… However, this is only my guess. Whether it's true or not, I'll have to enter the Jade Capital to take a look!"
His gaze then fell on the Hall of Fragrance. Back then, the Grand Emperor, Grand Primordium, and the rest had explored Jade Capital City and taken away the Hall of Fragrance, but they had sealed it up.
The most ancient seal of the Hall of Fragrance could be traced back to the primordial era.
In other words, after the Grand Emperor, Grand Primordium, and the rest took the Hall of Fragrance away, they discovered something terrifying. Something terrifying was about to escape from the Hall of Fragrance!
Even the Grand Emperor and Grand Primordium felt threatened, so they gathered all the power of the strong to seal the Hall of Fragrance!
"After that, Celestial Emperor Tai Chu eradicated the masters of creation, sealed the ancestral court, and unified the universe. Thus, he placed the Hall of Fragrance in the celestial heavens and used it as a weapon to suppress the dissidents. Anyone who didn't listen to him was executed, and his soul and primordial spirit were placed in the Hall of Fragrance to be suppressed. Later on, the ten Celestial Venerables ruled, and this tradition continued."
When Qin Mu thought of this, he saw Cripple and Lan Yutian walking around the Hall of Fragrance in circles. Qin Mu had once used a divine mirror to examine the seal of the Hall of Fragrance. They had studied it for many years, and Mute had even imitated a few halls according to the specifications of the Hall of Fragrance.
However, Cripple and Lan Yutian were still not confident when facing this shrine.
The seal Mute had created wasn't as powerful as the seal of the Hall of Fragrance. To enter the hall, one had to pass through all kinds of powerful seals!
Furthermore, going in was one thing, coming out was another!
If one had the ability to enter but not the ability to come out, it would be terrible.
"Don't act rashly!"
Qin Mu instructed and called Yan'er over. "Is Tai Yi still in the sacred mountain?"
Yan'er said, "I was still repairing the sacred mountain just now. I wonder if it has been repaired."
Qin Mu said solemnly, "Bring Lan Yutian to see him, you must request for his willow branch."
Yan'er immediately flew up and transformed into a dragon sparrow. She grabbed Lan Yutian's arm and flew towards Tai Yi.
Everyone surrounded the shrine and recorded all kinds of seals, gathering them at Blind. Blind, Granny Si, Xu Shenghua, and the rest would come up with a way to break it.
Wei Suifeng tried to break the outer seal, but he was stopped by Qin Mu. He shook his head and said, "Celestial Venerable Huo knows that the Hall of Fragrance is in our hands, but the other Celestial Venerables don't know. If we touch their seal, they will sense it. Only when there's no other choice can we try to break their seal."
Wei Suifeng's gaze flickered, and he whispered, "What you mean is?"
"If we head to the Jade Capital City of the ancestral court and get trapped there, we can try to break the seals of the Celestial Venerables."
Qin Mu blinked his eyes and smiled. "If the ten Celestial Venerables went to save them, they must be very impressive."
Wei Suifeng laughed loudly and stopped touching the seals.
Qin Mu took out the divine bow and carried it on his back.
Cripple was eager to give it a try, but Qin Mu hesitated for a moment. He stretched out his hand and grabbed. The Glassy Sky Pagoda rumbled, and the 28 heavens gathered together. Soon, it transformed into a canopy that was three yards tall.
"Grandpa Cripple, take this treasure to protect yourself."
Qin Mu handed the Glassy Sky Pagoda to him and suddenly remembered something. He hurriedly said, "I'm lending it to you, not to you. You have to return it to me after we leave this shrine!"
"Petty!"
Cripple took the Glassy Sky Pagoda and examined it. He praised, "What a good treasure… I didn't steal it myself, so of course I won't take it. Don't worry, I'll return it to you."
Qin Mu let out a sigh of relief. Not long later, Yan'er brought Lan Yutian back and said, "Tai Yi said that I can't lend it to you, so you won't return it if I lend it to you. It was only because Fatty Lan pleaded on my behalf that Tai Yi nodded reluctantly and only lent you a leaf."
"Outrageous! Am I the kind of person who borrows things and doesn't return them?"
Qin Mu took the leaf. The markings on the leaf were complicated, and it was a leaf from a Dao Tree that was too easy to get. He felt pity in his heart. 'If I borrowed that branch, it wouldn't be a big deal to lose a leaf. If I only borrowed one leaf, it would be hard to hide…'
His spirit was roused, and he looked around before saying solemnly, "This time, Grandpa Cripple, Lan Yutian, and I will enter the shrine, while the rest of you will stay outside. If we are trapped inside and can't escape, Shu Jun, you and Senior Brother Wei will bring the shrine to the Jade Capital City of the ancestral court and try to break the outer seal to lure the ten Celestial Venerables to save us!"
