Tales of Herding Gods

The precelestial celestial palace was definitely a huge celestial palace that surpassed the consciousness celestial palace and even the reincarnation celestial palace. The benefits it brought to Qin Mu were also greater than the benefits the other celestial palaces brought.

If this celestial palace was refined, the improvement to Qin Mu's cultivation and abilities would be immeasurable!

However, Dao's zither strings soon stopped playing. Qin Mu looked at the zither strings and saw that the lotus landmass under the Grand Emperor's feet had actually shattered into powder!

The Grand Emperor was finally free!

With the Grand Emperor's own power, it was very difficult for him to completely break the restrictions left behind by Celestial Venerable Ling and Celestial Venerable Yun. However, the first move of the Grand Emperor was to borrow the power of Celestial Venerable Hao and the divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu to break his own cage!

Even though he borrowed the force to break the restriction, he was still injured by Hao Tian, and the corner of his mouth was covered in blood.

"Hahahaha!"

The Grand Emperor laughed heartily, and his legs were full of broken roots. He shouted, "I'm finally out, I'm finally out! What bullshit Celestial Venerable Yun and Celestial Venerable Ling, even though you plotted against me, didn't you all die in my hands? I, on the other hand, have come back to life!"

The thick roots on his legs were broken. These roots were the roots of the sacred objects of the masters of creation. These sacred objects were the spirit roots that the masters of creation had found in the ancestral court and used countless years of sacrifice to raise them.

Some of the sacred objects grew into sacrificial gods, while some maintained their original form.

In the battle against the Grand Emperor, the masters of creation in the Great Void used up almost all of their sacred items to design traps. Only then did they break through the Grand Emperor's corporeal body, giving Celestial Venerable Yun, Celestial Venerable Ling, and the rest a chance to take advantage of him.

Yet now, the sacred object that bound the Grand Emperor's corporeal body was also dead.

The Grand Emperor's wounds were healing rapidly, and there were no more wounds.

His consciousness was powerful, and under the visualization of consciousness, he could easily visualize it even if he chopped off his head.

For an existence like him, his Life Gate wasn't a soul, a primordial spirit, or a corporeal body. His Life Gate was his consciousness. If his consciousness wasn't extinguished, he wouldn't truly die.

However, he had already placed his consciousness in the Ultimate Void, which cut off the possibility of his death.

The strongest corporeal body that the masters of creation spoke of was finally able to unleash its full power!

The Grand Emperor laughed loudly, and his terrifying consciousness burst forth. His consciousness was invincible in this world. Before he could completely break free, he could control the entire divine city and even Emperor's Throne like Shang Pinying.

Even though Shang Pinying was easily controlled by him because of his Dao heart, being able to easily control Emperor's Throne was still an inconceivable ability.

However, the Grand Emperor's consciousness wasn't as simple as controlling others. It was visualization!

"Celestial Venerable Hao, let me show you what visualization is!"

The Grand Emperor's long hair was twisted into a lump, and many strands were tangled together. His hair was thick, and his expression was wild. At that moment, not only could Celestial Venerable Hao sense the fluctuations of Dao in his consciousness, but even Qin Mu and the rest who were far away could feel the Grand Emperor's consciousness transforming into Dao!

Turning consciousness into the path was a realm that Qin Mu had never come into contact with before!

The Grand Emperor didn't really transform his consciousness into a Great Dao. Instead, he borrowed the characteristics of his consciousness to visualize the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth!

This was already the level of creating the Dao in the void!

"The abilities of the Grand Emperor are indeed from the same source as the abilities of Celestial Emperor's Grand Primordium. They are both derived from the Grand Primordium Great Dao! The Connate Qi and the Dao of consciousness both belong to the Grand Primordium Great Dao!"

In the strings of light, Qin Mu was abnormally excited as he listened to the zither notes that were playing due to the fluctuations of divine arts. He suddenly said, "White Heaven Master, can you come closer? There are many Dao laws that are too soft and hard to catch."

Bai Yujing hesitated for a moment and shook her head. "If we go any closer, I'm afraid it will exceed the limits of this lantern. At that time, I won't be able to protect you."

Lan Yutian pleaded, "Sister, can we go closer?"

Bai Yujing looked at the two of them, and her heart softened. She gritted her teeth and said, "Alright, then let's get closer. However, we can't get too close, or I won't be able to escape in time."

Qin Mu looked at Lan Yutian and couldn't help feeling a hint of sorrow in his heart. 'I'm probably old and unable to act naive anymore. Only Celestial Venerable Yu can continue to act naive, but Bai Yujing only agreed to move the light strings because of him…'

As a youth that had walked out of Disabled Elderly Village and had learned from Apothecary, he had a great lethality towards girls, but that was already in the past.

Now, others thought that Celestial Venerable Mu was sinister, cunning, and calculative. Even if he acted cute, the girls didn't believe him.

Bai Yujing moved the lantern, and the strings of light moved forward as well. She said to the two of them, "Brother Lan, although I'm the disciple of the Moon Master, I've learned the abilities of the Moon Master from hundreds of thousands of years ago. The Moon Master created the Dao of Space, and she can go anywhere in the world, but I can't do it. I really want to become her disciple again, but I'm also hesitant…"

Lan Yutian blinked his big eyes and asked curiously, "What hesitation?"

Bai Yujing looked back at Qin Mu and didn't say anything.

Qin Mu understood that Bai Yujing was worried that the friendship between Celestial Venerable Yue and South Deity Zhu Que would make her awaken the South Deity soul in her body again.

Bai Yujing was selfish and had her own considerations. It was not her fault.

Bai Yujing sensed that the lantern was about to reach its limit, and the sound of the zither became much clearer. She immediately stopped and said, "Don't go forward anymore… I've always been a cautious person, so how did I run into you two brothers and take such a huge risk?"

She didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Qin Mu observed the battle between the Grand Emperor, Celestial Venerable Hao, and the divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu from afar while listening to the Dao rhythm from the zither. He compared it with what he had comprehended, and his understanding of the qi of the precelestial grew deeper.

The Grand Emperor's consciousness transformed into the Dao, and with a move of his consciousness, the Great Dao grew. Not only that, but his Great Dao covered his entire body, causing his corporeal body to reach an extremely terrifying state. Even Celestial Venerable Hao, who was controlling the divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu, couldn't withstand the power of the Great Dao when facing his fists!

Boom—

Terrifying waves spread out, shaking the strings of light. In the center of the battle, the Grand Emperor's every move was natural, and the divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu retreated under his pressure.

His muscles were sinister, like the most ancient mine of the ancestral court of the primordial era. The toughest mountains and rivers were forged into iron fists and bronze bones.

He punched out, and the Great Dao resonated. The power gathered in the center of his fist, and when he punched out, the power of the Dao exploded. The divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu was also smashed into pieces, and he staggered backward.

Qin Mu finally saw why the masters of creation said that the Grand Emperor was the strongest corporeal body in history. This kind of power was simply unrivaled!

However, he could also see that the Grand Emperor of the primordial era was definitely not as powerful.

The reason why the Grand Emperor became so strong was mainly because he had lived as Heavenly Lady Qiang and absorbed the paths, skills, and divine arts of the past million years.

The most crucial point was that Dao Ancestor had drawn all the Great Dao runes of the ancient gods!

The Grand Emperor's consciousness, together with all the runes of the Great Dao of the ancient gods, gave his corporeal body and consciousness power an astonishing boost!

'In other words, Heavenly Lady Qiang has already come into contact with the Grand Emperor's corporeal body and imparted her cultivation knowledge to him,' Qin Mu thought.

Celestial Venerable Hao used his divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu to fight the Grand Emperor head-on, but his true body didn't dare to fight the Grand Emperor head-on. Instead, he chose to roam around and attack the Grand Emperor's corporeal body with divine arts.

However, to the Grand Emperor, it was like scratching an itch through his boots.

The Great Dao around the Grand Emperor's body condensed frantically and actually formed the corporealization of the Dao around his body. The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth in his body transformed into Great Dao ancient gods with actual bodies!

From Xuandu to Youdu, from the East Pole to the West Pole, from the Primordial Realm to the Ruins of End, ancient gods stood tall in his body!

In the heart of his brows, there was even a Great Dao forming the form of the ancient Celestial Emperor!
