Chapter 912: Divine Court Secret Scroll
Torrential rain poured down, tinting the sky of the cultivation world an eerie dark purple. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen transformed into two streams of light, breaking through the divine realm's barrier and plummeting into the deepest reaches of the library. Towering bookshelves towered around them, their tomes radiating a faint blue glow. Occasionally, the sound of ancient tomes flipping could be heard, like countless pairs of eyes watching from the shadows.
"Be careful!" Chu Mochen suddenly pulled Yun Yao into his arms. A pitch-black chain brushed past her hair and fiercely nailed into the bookshelf behind her. The chain was wrapped with a strong fluctuation of divine power. Wherever it touched, the books on the bookshelf instantly turned to ash.
Yun Yao's eyes were cold, and a golden law of power condensed from her fingertips. "There are so many restrictions in this library."
Chu Mochen frowned, "These restrictions seem to be set up specifically for us. It seems that the God Realm has long expected us to come."
The two men carefully navigated the library, avoiding one deadly restriction after another. After an unknown amount of time, they finally discovered a tome emitting an ancient aura in the deepest chamber—the "Secret Scroll of the Divine Court."
Yun Yao reached out to pick up the tome, but the moment her fingertips touched it, a powerful torrent of memories flooded into her sea of consciousness. She saw the birth of the Hongmeng Universe, the tragic battle between the previous Hongmeng Daozu and the Void Divine Court, and the scene of her own soul being torn apart.
“So that’s how it is…” Yun Yao muttered to herself, a hint of shock flashing in her eyes, “My time traveling was actually a predetermined situation.”
Chu Mochen held her hand, "Yaoyao, what did you see?"
Yun Yao took a deep breath. "The previous Hongmeng Daozu, your previous life, split my soul into countless fragments and sent them into three thousand small worlds in order to fight against the Void Divine Court. He hoped that I could accumulate strength in reincarnation and one day completely destroy the Void Divine Court. And all of this was to protect the Hongmeng Universe."
At this moment, the library suddenly shook violently, and a cold voice echoed around: "I didn't expect you to find this place, but your journey should end here."
Countless golden chains shot out from all directions, trapping Yun Yao and Chu Mochen tightly. The divine power in the chains crazily eroded their spiritual power. Yun Yao felt severe pain all over her body, as if she was about to be torn apart by this power.
"Killing us won't be that easy!" Chu Mochen's eyes flashed with ruthlessness, and a powerful Daoist pressure erupted from his body as he tried to break free from the chains. However, these chains seemed to be connected to the laws of the divine realm, and his resistance only made them tighten.
Yun Yao gritted her teeth and mobilized the power of the Hongmeng Law within her body, merging it with Chu Mochen's power. The two powerful forces collided, creating a violent explosion that shattered all the surrounding chains.
"You think you can stop us?" Yun Yao's eyes were icy, and a huge sword of law condensed in her hand. "Today, I must get to the bottom of everything!"
As soon as the words fell, a figure stepped out from the shadows. The person was dressed in a black robe and a silver mask, obscuring their features. "Do you think knowing the truth will change anything? Yun Yao, you are nothing more than a pawn in the hands of Hongmeng Daozu, and Chu Mochen, you are simply repeating the tragedy of your past life."
Chu Mochen's eyes were stern, "Who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that you shouldn't be here." The mysterious man smiled coldly, "Since you're here, stay here forever!"
The mysterious man formed seals with his hands, and the space in the library began to distort. Countless black vortices appeared around Yun Yao and Chu Mochen. These vortices emitted a powerful suction force, trying to suck them in.
Yun Yao wielded the Sword of Law, slashing at the vortexes. However, her attack seemed to have no effect on them. Seeing this, Chu Mochen immediately unleashed the Daoist secret technique, forming a defensive barrier around the two of them.
"This is not a solution. We must find a way to break these whirlpools as soon as possible." Yun Yao said anxiously.
Chu Mochen pondered for a moment, "Perhaps, the answer lies in this "Secret Scroll of the Divine Court."
Yun Yao was stunned for a moment, then she understood. She focused her attention and opened the Secret Scroll of the Divine Court again. This time, she discovered a sealed passage deep within the tome.
"To break the power of the Void Divine Court, we must find the Origin Heart of the Hongmeng Universe. But the Origin Heart has long been shattered and scattered across the three thousand small worlds. Only by gathering the fragments of the Origin Heart can we awaken its true power."
After reading this passage, Yun Yao suddenly had a bold idea. She looked at Chu Mochen, "Mochen, I have an idea. These vortexes are powerful, but their power comes from the Void God Court. If we can find the Void God Court's power node in the library and destroy it, perhaps we can break these vortexes."
Chu Mochen's eyes lit up, "Okay, let's search separately!"
The two quickly separated and began searching the library. Yun Yao dodged the vortex's attacks while carefully observing her surroundings. Suddenly, she spotted a rune on the wall, glowing with a strange light.
"Found it!" Yun Yao was delighted and immediately flew towards the rune. However, just as she was about to approach the rune, a mysterious man suddenly appeared in front of her.
"It's not that easy to destroy the power node!" A black sword appeared in the mysterious man's hand and stabbed towards Yun Yao.
Yun Yao dodged sideways, the Sword of Law in her hand colliding with the mysterious man's long sword. A powerful wave of force exploded between the two, and cracks appeared in the surrounding space.
"Why do you want to stop us? What is the purpose of the Void God Court?" Yun Yao asked while fighting.
The mysterious man sneered, "How could you possibly know the purpose of the Void God Court? However, I can tell you that you and Chu Mochen are destined to be the victims of this chess game."
At this moment, Chu Mochen's voice came: "Yaoyao, I found another node!"
Yun Yao was delighted, "Mo Chen, destroy that node first, and leave this to me!"
Chu Mochen nodded and quickly flew towards another node. Seeing this, the mysterious man's eyes flashed with panic. He wanted to stop Chu Mochen, but was entangled by Yun Yao.
"Want to leave? Not so easy!" Yun Yao increased the intensity of her attack, the power of the Hongmeng Law within her body surging crazily. The mysterious man gradually began to feel overwhelmed, and his aura became disordered.
At this moment, Chu Mochen successfully destroyed the power node. The vortex in the library disappeared instantly, and the mysterious man lost his power and was repelled by Yun Yao's sword.
The mysterious man stumbled back, his mask shattered by the sword energy, revealing a familiar face. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen were stunned when they saw that face—it was actually their former ally, Master Taixu!
"Master Taixu, why?" Yun Yao asked in disbelief.
Master Taixu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said with a wry smile, "Why? Because I have no choice. The Void Divine Court is too powerful. They threatened me that if I don't help them, they will destroy my sect. I have no choice..."
Chu Mochen's eyes were cold, "So you betrayed us?"
True Lord Taixu shook his head. "I didn't want to betray you, but I couldn't bear to watch our sect being destroyed. However, I regret it now. The Void Divine Court will never keep their promise. They are just using me as a pawn."
Yun Yao looked at Master Taixu, a mixture of emotions welling up in her heart. She knew that in this world of cultivation where the strong prey on the weak, many people were forced to do things of their own accord. But betrayal was always unforgivable.
"Master Taixu, I won't kill you because of our past friendship. But if you dare to collude with the Void Divine Court again, I will show no mercy next time." Yun Yao said coldly.
True Lord Taixu bowed his head and said, "Thank you for not killing me. I will leave here and find a place to live in seclusion. I will no longer be concerned with the affairs of the cultivation world."
After saying this, Master Taixu transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the library. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen watched him leave, feeling somewhat emotional.
"Let's go, it's time for us to look for the fragments of the Hongmeng Origin Heart." Chu Mochen said, holding Yun Yao's hand.
Yun Yao nodded, and the two of them put away the Secret Scroll of the Divine Court and left the library. Outside, the torrential rain had ceased at some point, and a brilliant rainbow appeared in the sky. They knew the road ahead was long, and they would face even stronger enemies and more difficult challenges. But as long as they were together, no difficulty was insurmountable.
On the way back, Yun Yao pondered the contents of the "Secret Scroll of the Divine Court." She felt that there were still many secrets about her life and her time travel that had yet to be uncovered. Perhaps these secrets lay hidden within the fragments of the Primordial Heart.
"Mo Chen, do you think we can really find all the fragments of the Heart of Origin?" Yun Yao suddenly asked.
Chu Mochen looked at her with a firm gaze, "I can do it. No matter how many difficulties there are, I will be by your side and face them together."
Yun Yao's heart warmed, and she leaned on Chu Mochen's shoulder. She knew that with him by her side, even if there was a bottomless abyss ahead, she would have the courage to jump in. Because she believed that as long as they worked together, they would be able to create their own miracle and rewrite the fate of the Hongmeng Universe.
