Tales of Herding Gods

Celestial Venerable Gong's celestial palace didn't show any signs of injury, and her aura didn't show any signs of weakening. There were no injuries on her body, and her primordial spirit was also perfectly fine.

Founding Emperor killing Celestial Venerable Gong was ordered by Qin Mu.

If Celestial Venerable Gong had been severely injured by Founding Emperor, he wouldn't have recovered so quickly without Apothecary's medical attainments.

Qin Mu opened the vertical eye in the heart of his brows and examined Celestial Venerable Gong. He instantly saw the mystery.

There were all kinds of hidden injuries in Celestial Venerable Gong's body that looked like sword wounds. They should have been left behind by Founding Emperor's Sword Dao. However, someone had used a strange power to erase these injuries and restore her body to its original state.

However, Celestial Venerable Gong had cultivated diligently for a million years after all. Her corporeal body was incomparably strong. Even though that person had repaired her corporeal body and wiped away the wounds of Founding Emperor's sword path, he couldn't restore her corporeal body to its strongest state.

Not only that, but the thirty-five celestial palaces of Celestial Venerable Gong were also filled with signs of being repaired. The places that had been repaired weren't as strong as the other places.

It was the same for Celestial Venerable Gong's primordial spirit!

Founding Emperor was extremely ruthless, almost using his Sword Dao to bury Celestial Venerable Gong!

The vertical eye in the heart of Qin Mu's brows was the most powerful divine eye in the world. With Earth Count's horn as the iris, Heaven Duke's Heavenly Dao Crystal Physique filled up the room in front of the god, Taiji Origin Stone as the pupil, and Tai Yi's Primal Chaos Egg as the retina.

Heaven Duke and Earth Count had personally entered the Heavenly Dao and the Great Dao of Youdu to enhance his divine eyes. With the dew on Tai Yi's Dao Tree in his eyes, even if Heaven Duke and Earth Count stood in front of Qin Mu, he could easily see the circulation structure of the Heavenly Dao and the Great Dao of Youdu.

The corporeal body of the celestial venerable of Insight Palace and the secrets of the celestial palace were merely a small test for him.

"Other than Grandpa Apothecary and me, the only ones in the world who have the ability to achieve this step are the two of us."

Qin Mu understood in his heart. 'Apothecary relied on the path of medicine. My path of medicine is inferior, so I can only rely on the path of medicine, the path of creation, and the unchanging divine art. With the Dao of Tai Chu, only then can I heal the sword wound left behind by Founding Emperor. If Grandpa Apothecary and I work together to treat her, there won't be any hidden dangers. On the other hand, Goddess Tai Su needs Celestial Venerable Gong to have something to ask of her and kneel down to her, which has a huge hidden danger.'

He saw everything clearly. Celestial Venerable Gong seemed to have recovered to his perfect state, but he would definitely lose a favor. Tai Su could return those sword wounds to her anytime!

Celestial Venerable Gong's life and death could be said to be completely in the hands of Tai Su!

"Celestial Venerable Hao should be the same, right? His injuries back then were even worse than Celestial Venerable Gong's!"

What worried him even more was that the mine Celestial Venerable Gong controlled was the Great Simplicity Mine!

Obtaining Celestial Venerable Gong was equivalent to obtaining the Tai Su Mine. Obtaining the Tai Su Mine was equivalent to obtaining the Tai Su Divine Stone and the Tai Su Origin Stone!

“Tai Su's strength was originally not strong, but now I’m afraid she can advance by leaps and bounds!”

The moment he was distracted, Celestial Venerable Gong, Divine King Lang, and Celestial Venerable Yue exchanged hundreds of blows. Celestial Venerable You took a step forward and said solemnly, "Yue, Lang, you guys retreat. I'll block her, you guys go and assist Heaven Duke! Heaven Duke can't hold on much longer!"

Celestial Venerable Yue and Divine King Lang immediately left and flew towards Heaven Duke.

Celestial Venerable You blocked Celestial Venerable Gong's path and said, "Celestial Venerable Mu, you go too."

Qin Mu hesitated. It was naturally good for Celestial Venerable You to personally block Celestial Venerable Gong from coming into contact with Divine King Lang. However, without Lang Lang's visualization of Youdu, Celestial Venerable You would be exposed in Xuandu, and his abilities and divine arts would be greatly reduced!

"You, survive!"

Qin Mu gritted his teeth and rushed towards Heaven Duke.

Celestial Venerable You was expressionless, and his face was like the bark of an old tree. He said indifferently, "You are the weakest among the Celestial Venerables. You should be more careful of yourself."

Celestial Venerable Gong let out a long sigh of relief. Without Celestial Venerable Yue and Divine King Lang Wo, she instantly felt no pressure. She looked at Celestial Venerable You and revealed a rare smile. "You, back then, you opened up an everlasting generation for the people. You and the other Celestial Venerables of Dragon Han created the system of divine treasures. Your contribution was the most crucial, opening up the Life and Death Divine Treasure."

She rarely admired others, but at this moment, she was full of admiration for Celestial Venerable You. "The people of the world don't know how useful the Life and Death Divine Treasure is, and they often overlook your achievements. Once the Life and Death Divine Treasure is opened, you will understand life and death. That's why the Divine Bridge Divine Treasure jumped into the celestial palace, and your lifespan will be as long as the heavens. Without the Life and Death Divine Treasure, even if others could cultivate to the realm of god, they wouldn't have endless lifespans."

She suddenly launched an attack, and the thirty-five celestial palaces scattered to form a celestial heavens that was different from the real Dragon Han Celestial Heavens. The thirty-five Heaven Duke actually formed the shape of a horn!

The lower part of her celestial heavens was wide, while the upper part was narrow. They advanced layer by layer, and at the top of the horn was the Numinous Sky Hall of her main celestial palace, with her primordial spirit guarding it!

This was a horn formed by countless buildings. It was spectacular and inconceivable!

"However, the people of the world won't be grateful for your actions at all. Earth Count had also opened up his Life and Death Divine Treasure, allowing the people of the world to have the chance to escape death and restrain you for a million years! You, the people of the world will only hate and fear you because you are a messenger of death!"

Celestial Venerable Gong no longer hid his cultivation or his abilities.

Her weapon was a whip!

In the ancient primordial era, the female Xin Clan was known for their battle prowess. This race of masters of creation tamed huge beasts and stood on their backs to conquer the world. The women were extremely powerful and had a fervent desire to fight!

The ancient god they worshiped was West Deity White Tiger!

West Deity White Tiger was honored as a battle ancient god, and it was created by visualization and sacrifice!

West Deity's white tiger looked very similar to God King Gong back then, and West Deity's weapon was also a whip and a horn.

Because the Xin Clan tamed primordial behemoths, the whip and horn could control the behemoths, Celestial Venerable Gong also used these two weapons as his treasures.

Celestial Venerable Gong's fighting spirit overflowed into the sky as she executed her technique. The sound of horns came from the thirty-five celestial palaces, causing her qi and blood to boil as her battle power increased exponentially!

The whip in her hand was ever-changing. It was sometimes long and sometimes short, sometimes thick and sometimes thin, sometimes soft and sometimes hard, sometimes straight and sometimes bent. This divine whip was refined from the dragon's vein of the ancestral court, and a huge divine metal mountain range was refined into a whip before transforming into a divine dragon!

If Qin Mu was here, he would definitely recognize that this whip was once in the hands of the Grand Emperor. It was extremely powerful and had once fought with the emperor's sword that Celestial Emperor had transformed into!

This divine whip was refined by the Grand Emperor, and he gave it to the Xin Clan as a betrothal gift. Later on, the Grand Emperor destroyed the Xin Clan and took it back.

After the palace captured Da Hong, who was parasitized by the Grand Emperor, the whip landed in the palace's hand. It trapped Da Hong on the pillar in front of his palace, and he used this whip to vent his anger day and night.

"You have been trapped by Earth Count all these years and turned into a messenger of death. You have been hiding from the world and have long fallen behind!"

Celestial Venerable Gong's whip transformed, and her consciousness burst forth at the same time, creating layers of illusions. Her words attacked her heart, and her consciousness illusions were even more terrifying. As long as Celestial Venerable You's Dao heart had the slightest flaw, she could only be at her mercy when she fell into her illusions!

Celestial Venerable You's figure was ethereal as she retreated continuously. She didn't fight her head-on.

He had to avoid Celestial Venerable Gong's illusion.

However, Xuandu's restrictions on his power were too great. The Heavenly Dao countered his cultivation and suppressed his magic power. His cultivation was originally inferior to Celestial Venerable Gong's, and now it was even worse!

He couldn't dodge in time and was bound by the long whip. The head of the long whip transformed into a dragon's head and bit his body ruthlessly, swinging him around!

At the same time, Celestial Venerable Gong's consciousness transformed into layers of illusions, throwing him into them.

In the illusion, Celestial Venerable You saw his mother washing her clothes again. She turned around and gave him a loving smile. The sunlight of early spring shone down, and it was peaceful and beautiful.

Even though he was bound by the dragon vein whip and the dragon head bit his body, he didn't feel any pain in the illusion.

His heart was at peace, and there was even some happiness.

Even though he had found his mother's soul in Youdu and lived with her for a million years, he couldn't feel her touch.

His mother couldn't touch his face, his body, or the sunlight.

No matter what his mother ate, there was no taste. In the state of his soul, his mother didn't feel anything. His mother frequently cooked for him, and what she cooked was all essence treasure candles. His mother also ate essence treasure candles.

His mother was long dead and had no warmth.

He dreamed of reviving his mother, but he couldn't do it.

In Celestial Venerable Gong's illusion, he felt that his mother had come back to life and returned to the sweet and warm times of the past.

He could feel the warmth of his mother's palm.

At this moment, he was incomparably happy.

The dragon vein divine whip bit his body and swung ruthlessly, smashing through the planets of Xuandu!

Celestial Venerable Gong flew over, and the bugle horn sounded. Her primordial spirit stood at the top of the bugle horn celestial heavens and used her divine art. Great divine arts bombarded Celestial Venerable You's body one after another.

Celestial Venerable You's flesh and blood flew under her attacks, and his corporeal body was in tatters. However, he still smiled.

In history, everyone who died at Celestial Venerable Gong's hands died with a smile!

Celestial Venerable Gong gave a long roar and almost destroyed his corporeal body. Celestial Venerable You's flesh exploded, revealing his bones and heart!

In the illusion, Celestial Venerable You seemed to have returned to his youth. He was a youth around ten years old. He leaned into his mother's embrace and enjoyed a moment of peace.

Celestial Venerable Gong shook his whip and sent him flying. The dragon head of the whip then bit his exposed heart with a crack!

In the illusion, Celestial Venerable You raised his head to look at his mother's indelible face. She was weak, but she was quiet. Two streams of tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Mother, I remember this scene, I remember this morning."

Celestial Venerable You naturally remembered this day. On this morning, his mother washed his tattered clothes as usual and sat under the sun in front of the straw hut to sew and mend. In the pot was already cooked rice.

She was always like this, and on this day, she did all of this as usual before collapsing.

On her deathbed, she touched the youth's face and said to him, "If I leave, what will you do…"

However, she still let go and left.

Celestial Venerable You would never forget the morning sun and what his mother said to him before she left.

He became Celestial Venerable You, opening up the gap between the mortals and Youdu so that he could see his mother again.

In his mother's embrace, Celestial Venerable You, who had returned to his youth, quietly looked at his mother's face. He raised his hand to put on the ghost mask on the back of his head.

He wore it slowly, and the moment he wore it, his old and tattered corporeal body actually burst forth with astonishing divine light, repairing his body!

Celestial Venerable Gong was astonished, and she hurriedly increased the speed of his attacks. However, boundless divine power burst forth from this body that had transformed from an old man into a young man!

She saw an incomparably majestic primordial spirit, the strongest primordial spirit she had ever seen!

In the illusion, the young Celestial Venerable You wore the ghost mask his mother had bought for him and hugged his mother's body.

"Mother, I'm going to do my own things."

He let go of his mother's body and raised his head. The illusion started to shatter.

"Mother, you don't have to worry about me. I have my own friends now."

He said to his mother who was gradually disappearing, "I'm going to complete my friend's entrustment!"
