Chapter 523 — The Village Elder Returns to the City

The Celestial Artisan God Clan had spent countless generations and sacrificed countless lives before one child managed to walk out of the seal—and Shen Mu suspected this person was Mo Jiang. The Village Head and the others had relied on Mo Jiang to guide them out.

If Xing An stepped in and immediately turned back, he could break out. But if he entered deeper, he would be trapped by the seal. Ling Yuxiu breathed a sigh of relief, "Why is Xing An looking for you? That jade pendant is clearly yours. " Shen Mu shook his head, "I do not know either. But there is a very formidable being hidden in his Divine Treasury of Life and Death, extremely terrifying. Xing An must be coerced by it.

I only saw that being's eye, not its body. But Xing An fell from Fengdu into Youdu and returned alive—that eye in his divine treasury must belong to a demon god from Youdu! " Ling Yuxiu frowned, "What if Xing An can escape from there? " Shen Mu shook his head, "It should be able to trap him for half a year. After he comes out, we will continue helping him search for that jade pendant youth.

" His gaze was strange as he said in a low voice, "By the time he comes out, he will discover that whether in the Central Lands or the Western Lands, or the grasslands, the ice plains, and the Wasteland, this kind of jade pendant can be seen everywhere. Guess what is going on? " Ling Yuxiu shot him a look, "I know you are capable.

Stop bragging!

" Shen Mu laughed heartily. The two primordial spirits returned to their bodies.

Outside, the sky was gradually growing dark. By the river in the Between Life and Death, a painted boat approached.

Xue Hu'er and Si Yunxiang let those who had paid board the boat. The painted boat traveled along the river in the sky toward Fengdu. Ling Yuxiu also boarded. Outside the city, Shen Mu walked into the darkness. The Dragon Qilin sat on a box, and the box walked on its legs, following Shen Mu. The box was filled with things—besides fruits, vegetables, and offerings, there was spirit money.

The box was very displeased with these things, but Shen Mu had forced them into its belly, and it had no choice.

"The Human Emperor Hall, like Little Jade Capital, is a fragment of the Kaihuang Heavenly Court. " Shen Mu's gaze flickered as he walked through the darkness, holding a lump of black iron in his hand.

He thought, 'The Second Ancestor and the others did not tell me how to get there, only that activating the Human Emperor Seal would let me find it. How does the Human Emperor Seal find the Human Emperor Hall. .

.

' His vital energy surged into the Human Emperor Seal. The great seal trembled slightly. This time, activating the Human Emperor Seal was different from the last. Last time when he activated the seal, he saw the arduous years of the human race after the fall of the Kaihuang era. The spirit contained within the Human Emperor Seal burst forth and spread to every corner of the world.

But that time, the Village Head and a host of other experts had assisted him. Now there was only Shen Mu alone, and naturally he could not unleash the spiritual rallying power of the Human Emperor Seal. Shen Mu probed with his vital energy. Suddenly his heart stirred—his vital energy had touched a mark inside the Human Emperor Seal. Just then, the Human Emperor Seal trembled lightly.

A ray of light shot out and struck Shen Mu's eyes, then the light disappeared.

Shen Mu shook his head and opened his eyes to look. A ray of light shone from an unknown place, falling exactly at his feet. Shen Mu was surprised and turned his head, "Fat Dragon, can you see this light? " The Dragon Qilin had been asleep.

Hearing this, it hastily raised its head and looked around, "What light? " "This light—only I can see it? " Shen Mu quickly took out a mirror and looked into it. He saw that a strange rune had appeared in his eyes. Presumably, it was because this rune was imprinted in his eyes that he could see this light!

"So this is how one gets to the Human Emperor Hall! " Shen Mu followed the light.

Meanwhile, the Village Head finally returned to Fengdu. He saw that Fengdu was now incomparably bustling.

A long river hung in the sky above Fengdu. On the river was a bridge, and the bridge was crowded with gods and demons, while in the painted boats below the bridge stood piles of skeletons.

"What is going on here? " The Village Head was surprised.

Suddenly he spotted Emperor Qikang on the bridge and his eyes lit up.

He waved, "Old man Qikang, over here!

I am back!

I bring shocking news—news about the Overlord Body! Heh heh, news you never expected. Forty thousand years ago, an Overlord Body actually appeared!

Come down quickly, I even have a rubbing!

" Emperor Qikang hastily jumped down from the bridge and pointed at the Village Head, "Do not move, do not move! I will go call the Second Ancestor and the others! " The Village Head laughed, "Aren't you going to look at the rubbing first? " "It is better to share joy with others than to enjoy it alone.

Wait until the other Human Emperors have all arrived, then we will look together.

" Emperor Qikang turned back, his face full of honest goodwill. The Village Head was suspicious. 'The old codger's smile today looks somewhat familiar. Why is he being so polite to me today. .
