" Shen Mu's heart held no stray thought, and his speed grew greater and greater.
Just then a strange change came over the scene: one of the halls in Miluo Palace suddenly creaked open its doors, and rays of light streamed out from the doorway, falling upon Xiao Tianzun.
Shen Mu halted and looked toward the light, and dimly he seemed to see a figure within that radiance walking along the beam toward Xiao Tianzun.
The light withdrew, returning to that hall, and Xiao Tianzun had vanished. Shen Mu looked at the hall, alarmed and doubting, and saw that it was none other than the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.
"Whose hall is the Lingxiao Treasure Hall? " he asked the dao fruit that flew to him.
The woman in the dao fruit said, "The Third Young Master's. " Shen Mu frowned, looked at the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, and said in a low voice, "Is the Third Young Master in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall at this moment?
" The woman in the dao fruit shook her head. "The Third Young Master is a dragon that shows its head but never its tail; he seldom appears.
At this moment he should be within the Great Calamity of Destruction of the sixth universe.
" Shen Mu's gaze flickered. In those years Tai Di and Tai Chu had led their followers into Jade Capital City. They might not have seen the Master of Miluo Palace, but they must have seen the Lingxiao Treasure Hall!
And now, Xiao Tianzun had been gravely wounded, a beam of light had shot forth from the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, and Shen Mu had dimly glimpsed a figure within that light. Was this matter connected to Tai Di and Tai Chu's exploration of Jade Capital City in those years?
Why, by such a coincidence, had Tai Di and Tai Chu chosen to contemplate the Lingxiao Treasure Hall?
Why, after Tai Chu became the Heavenly Emperor and built the Heavenly Court, was his supreme palace, the Lingxiao Hall, built in imitation of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall of Jade Capital City?
Why, when the Heavenly Palace realms were later created, did the Lingxiao realm and the Imperial Throne realm become the highest realms? And why had someone in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall rescued Xiao Tianzun? "The waters of this Miluo Palace run deeper and murkier than I imagined!
" Shen Mu steadied himself. If the Master of Miluo Palace had not lied, then after he dissolved into the Dao, Miluo Palace had split into different factions, each scheming to seize control of the future universe in secret.
The path taken by the master of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, the "Third Young Master," must be the path of the "Jade Capital Trap"! "The Master of Miluo Palace said there is no Jade Capital Trap. He meant that by cultivating in accordance with the layout of Jade Capital City, one could obtain the various great daos of the Dao-achievers of past universes, and thereby attain the Dao. Once one cultivates all the way up to Miluo Palace, one becomes a Dao-achiever, or at the lowest, attains the Dao through force.
That path is not wrong. But someone tampered with that path from the very beginning. They changed the ultimate realm, Miluo Palace, into the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, and split it into these two realms: Lingxiao and the Imperial Throne!
And that person is, naturally.
. . " Shen Mu put away the Tribulation Sword, the supreme treasure of the Heavenly Dao, and Tai Yi's cane, and his gaze settled on the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.
"The Third Young Master! When Tai Di and Tai Chu came here in those years, it was the Third Young Master's scheme. Then whose scheme was the Ancestral Court Altar, and Tai Di's massacre of the Creator race, and the creation of the Void Beasts and the Mother Beasts?
The Second Young Master? The Fourth? Or the Fifth and Sixth?
These two schemes must have been laid down at the same time, after Tai Di and Tai Chu first entered the Jade Capital City of the Ancestral Court! Tai Di and Tai Chu were both their pieces! Pieces in the open and secret struggles between them!
