Tales of Herding Gods

Qin Mu's consciousness was also extremely powerful, but it was still far inferior to Celestial Venerable Gong and Divine King Lang Wo's. The consciousness divine arts of the two women wiped out his Great Overarching Consciousness Heaven, which was imitating the Grand Emperor!

However, he also managed to prevent Divine King Lang Wo and Celestial Venerable Gong's consciousness from coming into contact. As long as their consciousnesses didn't collide, Celestial Venerable Gong wouldn't be able to convince Lang Lang with words.

In terms of language, it wasn't as fast as consciousness, nor was it as comprehensive as consciousness. Furthermore, it could be interrupted by Qin Mu at any time.

Lang Wo immediately retracted his consciousness divine art to avoid hurting Qin Mu.

Celestial Venerable Gong didn't retract his divine art. Just as Qin Mu was about to die under the power of her divine art, a zither note suddenly rang out. Celestial Venerable Yue plucked the strings, and layers of space appeared, blocking Celestial Venerable Gong's divine art.

Celestial Venerable Gong frowned slightly. Celestial Venerable Huo found his corporeal body, and with a flash of fire, he appeared beside Celestial Venerable Gong with a dark expression.

The South Pole's Heavenly Dao, Fire Ancestor, was sent away by Celestial Venerable Yue. Even he couldn't sense where the Dao Fire Ancestor was hidden, which made it hard for him to calm down.

He had yet to obtain Heaven Duke's Heavenly Dao, but he had lost the South Pole's Dao Fire Ancestral Land, so he was naturally furious.

Qin Mu looked at Celestial Venerable Gong and Celestial Venerable Huo with a smile and nodded at them as if he was greeting an old friend. He suddenly said, "Celestial Venerable Huo, Celestial Venerable Yu is still alive, do you know about this?"

Celestial Venerable Huo's heart trembled, and his gaze landed on him. Even though Qin Mu's face was covered, that black cloth was nothing to a Celestial Venerable.

Celestial Venerables knew who the face under the black scarf was with just a glance. There was no need to guess.

As for the fact that Celestial Venerable Yu was still alive, Celestial Venerable Huo had also heard about it, but he didn't personally go and check.

However, Qin Mu was the Invincible Great Wizard, and he could even revive ancient gods. If Celestial Venerable Yu's corpse could be preserved until now, Qin Mu could indeed revive Celestial Venerable Yu!

Regarding Celestial Venerable Yu, Celestial Venerable Huo's feelings were truly complicated. Qin Mu's sudden mention of this matter struck his Dao heart, making him temporarily forget about the matter of Dao Fire Ancestor being snatched away by Celestial Venerable Yue.

Qin Mu smiled slightly and said leisurely, "Other than the exiled Celestial Venerable Xiao, the eleven Celestial Venerables of the celestial heavens are probably already in Xuandu. The celestial heavens is empty. If I were Celestial Venerable Yu, I would take this chance to head to the celestial heavens, undo the seal of the Hall of Fragrance, and steal my broken soul."

Celestial Venerable Huo's expression flickered between dark and clear. It was like a bonfire dancing in the night lighting up his face, making it bright and dark at times.

He looked at the battlefield of Xuandu. Celestial Venerable Hong and the other four Celestial Venerables had brought their divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu to attack Heaven Duke, and their attacks became fiercer. Heaven Duke's defeat was only a matter of time.

At this moment, six great Celestial Venerables had already gathered in Xuandu. Only Hao, Yan, Xu, and Zu hadn't appeared.

Celestial Venerable Huo's voice was hoarse as he said, "Heavenly Lady Yan, Celestial Venerable Hao, and Celestial Venerable Xu are still in the celestial heavens. He has no chance."

Qin Mu said with a smile, "When Heaven Duke dies, which Celestial Venerable won't come and take a share? When that time comes, the ten Celestial Venerables will appear in Xuandu like a pack of wolves. This will be Celestial Venerable Yu's chance! Don't you expect him to take back his broken soul and let the former Celestial Venerable Yu return?"

His gaze was fixed on Celestial Venerable Huo's face, and he didn't let go of any changes in his emotions. His words were like Founding Emperor's sword, like Butcher's knife, pointing straight at the flaw in his heart!

"I still remember you once said that the person you respect the most is him. You have always called him big brother and swore to take revenge for him! Now that he has revived, as long as we take back the broken soul, he can make a comeback!"

Qin Mu said happily, "Now that your chance has come, you can ambush and kill Celestial Venerable Hao. I'm sure your Big Brother Yu will be very pleased!"

Celestial Venerable Gong was astonished, and he quietly separated from Celestial Venerable Huo.

Flames swirled behind Celestial Venerable Huo's head, shining on his face, making his expression dark and gloomy. "Even if Celestial Venerable Yu is revived, he won't be able to open the Hall of Fragrance. I never think about things without shadows. Today is the battle to get rid of Heaven Duke, anyone who blocks me must die!"

His killing intent surged as his gaze landed on Qin Mu, Celestial Venerable Yue, and the rest. He said coldly, "Including you guys!"

Even though he said that, he could still feel that Celestial Venerable Gong was extremely guarded against him. It was impossible for the two of them to work together without any hindrance.

Qin Mu's words had created a huge gap between him and Celestial Venerable Gong, putting him in a passive position!

Qin Mu was good at attacking the heart. When facing an opponent like him, people would usually feel that he was their friend and not an opponent that stood opposite them.

He was like a close friend to you and knew you very well. He would start from your heart, analyze your thoughts and actions, and give you suggestions that seemed bright.

Yet, unknowingly, you fell into his trap.

Among the ten Celestial Venerables, many of them had faced Qin Mu's psychological attacks before. Now, it was Celestial Venerable Huo's turn.

Suddenly, Xuandu trembled violently, and the stars scattered. Everyone was astonished and looked over. They saw Heaven Duke shrinking his corporeal body and moving his feet as he sprinted in Xuandu, causing a violent tremor in Xuandu!

All along, Heaven Duke's body was incomparably vast, and he stood there motionlessly. Even when he was attacked by Celestial Venerable Hong and the other four Celestial Venerables, he never moved.

If he moved his feet, it would cause the stars in the world to shift and cause a huge change in heaven and earth!

And now, he was forced to move to avoid the attacks of the four Celestial Venerables!

The corners of Qin Mu's eyes twitched. "Heaven Duke, you still haven't escaped from the Nine Hells Stage? You should be able to comprehend the heaven's heart. After all, you are the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao and have been immersed in it for so long. As long as you comprehend the heaven's heart and comprehend the twenty-four levels of the Heavenly Dao, you will be able to escape!"

As a god born from the Dao, Heaven Duke was born from the Heavenly Dao. In his life, he could only have great attainments in the Heavenly Dao. Therefore, Heaven Duke was the existence that had the highest chance of comprehending the heart of the Heavenly Dao. He was also the existence that had the highest chance of raising the heart of the Heavenly Dao to the twenty-four heavens.

If Heaven Duke's primordial spirit comprehended the heaven's heart, even if he jumped out of the restraints of the heaven's path, he would still follow the path of heaven. He wouldn't become Celestial Venerable Hong who was devoured by fame, power, and power!

This was Qin Mu's expectation.

As long as Heaven Duke's primordial spirit could jump out of the Nine Hells Stage, Celestial Venerable Hong wouldn't become the leader of Heaven Duke's consciousness. He couldn't bring disaster to the world, so he could become his Dao friend!

As Heaven Duke's cultivation grew higher, Celestial Venerable Hong's dangerous personality and consciousness would fade, and it wouldn't affect Heaven Duke much.

The crucial point was whether Heaven Duke could raise his Dao Realm in the heart of heaven to the extent of breaking through the restraints of the Nine Hells Stage in such a short time!

Celestial Venerable Huo's gaze flickered as he shifted his gaze from Qin Mu and the rest to Heaven Duke and the Celestial Venerables that were attacking him.

Celestial Venerable Gong was the same.

Now that the situation had reached a critical juncture, Heaven Duke would definitely be killed by the four great Celestial Venerables if they worked together!

The moment they killed the Celestial Venerables, it would be the most crucial moment for them to fight for benefits!

The pavilion closest to the water receives the moon first. If they were late, not to mention getting the moon first, they could only drink foot washing water!

Celestial Venerable Huo suddenly transformed into a beam of fire and sped towards Heaven Duke. Celestial Venerable Yue moved, and her zither notes rang out, intercepting him in midair!

The two of them moved quickly in Xuandu, and the sound of the zither collided with the Dao fire. The clash was fierce!

Celestial Venerable Yue suddenly plucked the zither strings, and the zither notes were filled with murderous intent. Thousands of spaces crisscrossed, trapping Celestial Venerable Huo within.

Flames blazed around Celestial Venerable Huo's body, melting the space around him. He passed through layers of space and saw peach trees in front of him. Peach blossoms were everywhere. Celestial Venerable Huo snorted, and the Dao fire burned the peach trees clean!

The peach forest of ten thousand miles turned into scorched earth. Celestial Venerable Huo landed on the ground and quickly took a few steps to look around. The corners of his eyes twitched as he shouted, "Celestial Venerable Yue!"

What entered his eyes were the mountains and rivers of the Primordial Realm, as well as the sun and moon. He passed through the space divine art that Celestial Venerable Yue had laid down and actually came to the Primordial Realm from Xuandu!

It would take him more than a month to reach Xuandu from the ancestral court. Even if he were to set off immediately, it would still take him more than a month to reach Xuandu!

When he arrived, it was already too late!

Celestial Venerable Huo was frantic and furious. However, he felt deeply helpless. Being sent here meant that he had no fate with the great opportunity in Xuandu.

When he had the Dao Fire Ancestral Land, Celestial Venerable Yue couldn't send him away. The Dao Fire Ancestral Land distorted space, and the boundless worlds were in the nine heavens of the ancestral land. Celestial Venerable Yue's divine arts couldn't do anything to him.

However, he was ambushed by Qin Mu, and Celestial Venerable Yue took the chance to send the Dao Fire Ancestral Land away, leaving him helpless.

'In that case, I should return to the celestial heavens and wait for Celestial Venerable Yu beside the Hall of Fragrance…'

Right at this moment, he suddenly felt the aura of the Heavenly Dao. His heart couldn't help but tremble slightly as he looked towards the source of the aura.

"Heavenly Yin World!"

Celestial Venerable Huo flew over. "The soles of Heaven Duke's feet! This aura of the Heavenly Dao, could it be that Ancestral God King with thick eyebrows, big eyes, forthrightness, and no scheming is currently in Heavenly Yin World? He can't be judged by his appearance…"

In Xuandu, Celestial Venerable Gong also rose and rushed towards Heaven Duke. Celestial Venerable You and Divine King Lang moved at the same time to intercept Celestial Venerable Gong!

Celestial Venerable Gong then saw Celestial Venerable Yue sending Celestial Venerable Huo away. He didn't know where she had thrown him, and his heart trembled.

She wasn't afraid of Celestial Venerable Yue. In a one-on-one battle, Celestial Venerable Yue's space divine art couldn't be used in front of her. She could disrupt Celestial Venerable Yue's thoughts before she could use her divine art!

She could easily break Celestial Venerable Yue's divine art!

Celestial Venerable Yue couldn't send her away at all!

However, if Celestial Venerable You, Divine King Lang, and Qin Mu were also eyeing her covetously, she would be in danger.

Qin Mu brought Butcher and the rest and excitedly rushed towards the lone Celestial Venerable Gong. At the same time, Celestial Venerable Yue exiled Celestial Venerable Huo into the Primordial Realm. She let out a sigh of relief and immediately rushed towards Celestial Venerable Gong!

Celestial Venerable Gong had a grim expression as he shouted. Behind him, numerous celestial palaces stood tall and upright. Thirty-five celestial palaces formed a huge celestial heavens.

She was severely injured by Founding Emperor because he had ambushed her the moment she entered the Numinous Sky Hall, giving her no chance to react. However, her abilities were definitely not the weakest among the ten Celestial Venerables!

If any one of the ten Celestial Venerables was ambushed by Founding Emperor, it would be a remarkable achievement if they didn't die!

After all, even though Founding Emperor's cultivation couldn't be compared to the ten Celestial Venerables, his sword path's attack power surpassed them. Even at his peak, Celestial Venerable Mu, Celestial Venerable Xiao, and Heavenly Lady Qiang didn't dare to say that their divine arts were stronger than Founding Emperor's sword path!

Qin Mu flew over and suddenly stopped. He looked at Celestial Venerable Gong with a grave expression and counted the number of celestial palaces behind her. He was slightly suspicious. 'How did Founding Emperor handle this matter? He couldn't even handle such a small matter like making him severely injure Celestial Venerable Gong…'
