Tales Of Herding Gods | Chapter 1482 - Imparting The Dao Under The Tree
When he said that, both Heavenly Lady Yan and God Emperor Lang Xuan had mixed feelings and were speechless.
Shi Shiluo was overjoyed and clapped his hands. He was so touched that tears seemed to flash in his eyes. "That's right, we are all a family! A family should be united and fight together!"
Mistress Yuanmu was an ancient god of destruction, so it wasn't out of Celestial Venerable Xiao's expectations that she would say such a thing.
"Wasn't Dao brother exiled by Celestial Venerable Yue?"
The Yin Goddess asked, "You disappeared for six years. In these six years, you missed out on many important things."
Celestial Venerable Xiao couldn't help but sigh ruefully. In just six years, he had missed out on a few major events that affected the structure of the world. The changes in this world were too fast. If it was in the past, he would have casually entered seclusion for six years. When he woke up, the world would still be the same.
Yet now, in just six short years, the Celestial Venerables of the Primordial Realm were standing against each other. The ancestral court was completely open, the back of the ancestral court was open, the Beast Realm was established, the dragons became the masters of the Beast Realm, the ancient gods of taiji were born, Heaven Duke was dead, Celestial Venerable Hong's Dao vanished, Xuandu was split among the various large factions, and the emergence of the Jade Capital of the ancestral court!
If it was in the past, there might not have been such a thing even if it had been ten thousand years. But now, all of it had happened in just six years. It was too much for the eyes to take in.
The tempo of this era was so fast that after a few years of seclusion, they would probably be left far behind by the era!
"I encountered many unimaginable things in the chaotic space, and I also had my own strange experiences. Therefore, my cultivation improved greatly, and my Dao heart improved greatly."
Celestial Venerable Xiao recalled her experiences over the past few years, and she couldn't help sighing ruefully. "If someone could write a book for me, wouldn't they be able to write a huge book? The marvel of my experiences over the past few years is so bizarre that even I still find it inconceivable when I think about it."
He had the Primordial Tree to protect his body, so he could protect himself in the chaotic space and explore its secrets.
There, he saw the ruins of the past universe. Ruins after ruins, pieces of the Great Overarching Heaven, magnificent Dao Trees, and different Great Dao rules.
More importantly, he encountered a strange phenomenon there. In that chaotic space, small universes were born one after another. They grew, grew, and then withered and were destroyed.
The speed at which it was born and destroyed was unimaginable to the people in the outside world.
When Celestial Venerable Xiao saw this, she was incomparably shocked.
He saw that there were still life forms, ancient gods, and existences like him in those small universes. They had grudges, love, and hatred, but their lifespans were too short.
When Celestial Venerable Xiao wasn't paying attention, they had a short life.
What was even more terrifying was that Celestial Venerable Xiao even saw existences that had achieved the path in these small universes. However, when their universes were destroyed, even existences that had achieved the path were useless. They could only die in the destruction of these small universes.
Everything was like a bubble that vanished when it was destroyed.
At that time, he suddenly had a terrifying thought.
When Celestial Venerable Xiao looked around and saw universes of all sizes emerging from this chaotic space like bubbles, growing, and shattering, the terrifying thought in his heart grew stronger, unable to be contained.
"This is the test field of a terrifying existence! He's using the small universe here to try and find a way to destroy the universe and not be destroyed!"
He looked around, trying to find this terrifying existence. However, after six years of traveling, he still couldn't find the end of the chaotic space.
He only saw strange and unusual sights along the way. All kinds of indescribable scenes made him even more certain that it was a test site of an incomparably terrifying existence!
He had experienced many dangers and had almost died. He didn't know if that existence was already dead, but his thirst for the unknown allowed him to continue exploring that place.
Only when Heaven Duke died and the sorrow of the Heavenly Dao spread to that chaotic space did he suddenly wake up and find a way to leave.
Only after he had left did he realize that six years had passed. At that time, the Jade Capital City of the ancestral court had just broken through its seal, and a torrential light had broken through the barrier of the ancestral court.
In his heart, the Jade Capital City of the ancestral court was a place that could be compared to the chaotic space. It was the two great mysteries in this universe that attracted him here.
Celestial Venerable Xiao, who had experienced all of this, had an immeasurable improvement in his Dao heart, and the benefits he had received weren't just that.
Heavenly Lady Yan, God Emperor Lang Xuan, Shi Qiluo, and the ancient god of taiji looked at him. They all felt that his bearing was different from before, but they couldn't determine exactly what was different.
Celestial Venerable Xiao becoming their leader was also tacitly approved by them.
At this moment, the World Tree's sapling was growing stronger. Every day, it would vibrate and grow. Some of the people in the sacred ground were observing the Great Dao markings of the World Tree, while some were observing the leaf markings. Xu Shenghua and Lan Yutian were sitting under the tree comprehending the Dao, trying to comprehend the Great Dao principles contained within the World Tree.
The revival of the World Tree made everyone busy and fulfilled. Occasionally, someone would remember and say, "Wei Suifeng and Shu Jun haven't returned yet."
However, they soon forgot about it and continued to busy themselves with their own matters.
Xu Shenghua and Lan Yutian would wake up from their comprehensions from time to time and exchange what they had learned from each other. Lan Yutian said, "The Great Dao contained in this World Tree is truly profound. It's hard to clear it up in a short period of time. If I can completely figure it out, I'm afraid I'll have to achieve the Dao!"
Xu Shenghua said, "I feel that there are some Great Daos that don't seem to be the logic of our era. This kind of Great Dao rule doesn't exist in our era. Could it be the Great Dao of the previous universe era?"
Both of them had many questions that were difficult to answer.
Why was the World Tree imprinted with the Great Dao of the past universe? What was the connection between the World Tree and the Dao Tree of the person who had achieved the Dao?
Was there a difference in realms after achieving the Dao?
Was the path of Dao attainment only the path of Dao Realm?
Even the two people with the highest talent in a million years were at a loss.
"Where did Cult Master Qin go?"
Xu Shenghua thought of Qin Mu and immediately asked, "With his help, our speed might be faster."
Lan Yutian pouted and said, "My brother is over there."
Xu Shenghua hurriedly looked over and saw Qin Mu at the other end of the World Tree sapling. He was currently releasing his divine treasure realm and spreading it out.
The ancestral court in his realm was laid out under the roots of the World Tree Sapling. Celestial palaces surrounded the sapling, and primordial spirits sat in the celestial palaces. They stood on the Nine Hells Stage and executed paths, skills, and divine arts to try and imprint themselves on the World Tree Sapling.
Xu Shenghua was stunned and stuttered, "What is he doing?"
'He's probably trying to refine the World Tree and turn it into his treasure.'
Lan Yutian was also a little uncertain and said, "Right now, the World Tree is still in its sapling state, and it's the most suitable time to refine it. If it grows a little taller, his domain won't be able to incorporate the World Tree into it. Therefore, refining it now is the easiest and most likely to succeed."
Xu Shenghua looked over and saw that even though Qin Mu's Spirit Embryo Divine Treasure realm had been expanded to its maximum, the crown of the World Tree still reached the dome of the sky of his realm. If it grew one more time, it could break through the dome of his realm!
Even so, Qin Mu still stubbornly tried to refine this sapling.
Other than trying to imprint his Great Dao into the World Tree, he was also trying to inject his spirit embryo into the tree. Even if he failed time again and got expelled by the World Tree, he wasn't discouraged.
Xu Shenghua was dumbfounded.
At this moment, a woman carrying a small bucket passed by them. That woman was laid back and mean. She shook her head and sneered, "Silly roe deer, an ant trying to shake a tree. You overestimate yourself." After she said that, she shook her head and left.
Xu Shenghua and Lan Yutian watched her leave, then retracted their gazes.
Xu Shenghua asked, "Do you think Cult Master can succeed?"
Lan Yutian shook his head and said, "How would I know? However, the World Tree shouldn't have been cut down by anyone in the past, right? Maybe it could really be refined during the sapling period. However, refining this tree might be as Tai Yi said. It might be like an ant hugging a tree root to shake…"
Both of them shook their heads, not too optimistic about it.
Xu Shenghua asked, "Has Cult Master returned the Dao Tree leaf that Cult Master borrowed from Tai Yi?"
Lan Yutian shook his head and said, "No. Brother has never mentioned this before. It's as if he has forgotten about it. Tai Yi also didn't mention this. It's as if he has also forgotten about it."
Xu Shenghua thought about it and said, "This means that Tai Yi still hopes that Cult Master will be able to refine the World Tree. However, he didn't say anything and even wanted to mock him."
"Celestial Venerable Mu's stubbornness is like a silly robe," Light Emperor said.
At this moment, Light Emperor's appearance was slightly different from before. In the past, he was a soul, but now he had a corporeal body. However, this corporeal body was a little strange. There were even wood markings on his body.
This was Qin Mu trying his best to get Tai Yi to cut off a small piece of bark from a branch on the World Tree. He used the bark to create a new body for him and used the dew on the leaves as his blood.
This body was unable to move, and Light Emperor was constantly worried if he would germinate because he could feel signs of germination.
Qin Mu had created a total of two bodies. One was for him to use, but he didn't say much about the other one.
He had already invited people to the place where Light Emperor had fallen to search for his flesh and blood. When the flesh and blood were found, he could use the powerful creation ability of Light Emperor's flesh and blood to turn this wooden body into a body of flesh and blood.
The resurrected Light Emperor's corporeal body was definitely stronger than before!
Light Emperor moved his feet with difficulty and walked to the side of the two of them. He bowed and said, "Celestial Venerable Yu, you said earlier that you sensed a realm in the Celestial Sea. Have you established the realm in the Heavenly Sea? I have come back from the dead and need to cultivate from the beginning. Otherwise, I won't be able to control this body."
Lan Yutian said, "The Celestial Sea Realm is a realm of Dao heart and also a realm of magic power. It is also known as the Heaven's Heart Realm. This realm was also established not long ago. However, my path of the Dao is different from the cultivation system of divine treasures and celestial palaces today. I have merged the Four Heavenly Gates, Jade Pavilion, God Execution Stage, Nine Hells Stage, and the Celestial Sea into the Ancestral Court Realm. There's no realm like the celestial palace."
Light Emperor humbly asked for advice. "May I ask Celestial Venerable, if we merge into the Celestial Palace Realm, how should we cultivate?"
Lan Yutian thought for a moment and said, "In that case, I'll try to merge these realms into the celestial palace and explain it to you. Daoist Hua, Granny Si, Daoist Wen Yuan, Prince You Ming, and Daoist Xu are experts in the Celestial Palace Realm, so I'll need their help. On the other hand, my brother has the deepest comprehension in the realms of Jade Pavilion, God Execution Stage, and Nine Hells Stage. If there's anything wrong with my lecture, I'll need their help."
His consciousness rippled as he invited everyone over.
Light Emperor stuttered, "Hua Xuanxiu and Wen Yuan are also experts?"
He looked at Hua Xuanxiu and Wen Yuan in disbelief.
Hua Xuan looked at him smugly.
Everyone hurried over, and Qin Mu also separated a primordial spirit to descend. Everyone explained the marvels of the various realms of the celestial palace, and everyone in the sacred ground gathered to listen.
On the second day, the World Tree trembled again and grew again, finally piercing a huge hole through Qin Mu's divine treasure realm.
Qin Mu was also helpless, but he still persevered in trying to refine this divine tree.
It was incomparably lively under the World Tree. The various realms of the celestial palace were told by everyone, and it benefited everyone greatly, broadening their horizons.
Lan Yutian listened to everyone's explanation, so he tried to combine the four heavenly gates, Jade Pool, God Execution Stage, and other realms with the Celestial Palace Realm. He explained them one by one, linking them together.
Dao runes lingered under the World Tree, and Dao sounds surrounded the World Tree. There were actually Dao flowers falling from the sky, making people intoxicated.
When these Dao flowers landed on the ground, they melted and ceased to exist. However, everyone took this chance to comprehend many things.
The lecture under the World Tree this time was just a grand exchange for the people of the present, but to the future generations, the significance of it was not inferior to the Jade Pool Meeting a million years ago!
Among the people lecturing under the World Tree, other than Qin Mu and Lan Yutian, no one else was famous. However, in the future, they would be honored as Celestial Venerables!
The realm they founded would also affect the later generations!
However, to the people under the tree, this was just an ordinary lecture to impart the Dao. They didn't think about the deeper meaning behind it.
Right at this moment, Qin Mu's aura suddenly rose drastically, and his divine treasure realm expanded once again. He once again pulled the World Tree sapling into his realm.
He had an additional realm, the Celestial Sea Realm. This realm was ranked between the Jade Pool and the God Execution Stage, which greatly increased his cultivation. There was an additional Celestial Sea in his celestial palaces, and in the ancestral court, there was an additional Celestial Sea that connected with the Celestial River!
The Ancestral Court, the Heavenly Sea, Xuandu, Youdu, Yuandu, the tens of thousands of worlds in the heavens, and even the celestial palaces used the celestial river to merge into one, allowing his cultivation to experience a huge leap!
Blind, Mute, Granny Si, and the rest saw this scene and were gratified. They praised in unison, "Mu'er is truly remarkable. After gnawing on us, he has finally started to gnaw on his own younger brother!"
