Tales of Herding Gods

"In other words, the Grand Emperor's Dao Tree is rooted in this treasure, and his Great Dao is attached to this sacred sword. When I fuse with his Dao Tree and become a part of it, I'm also attached to this sacred sword."

Celestial Venerable Yun smiled. "When you attack his Dao fruit, you attack the sacred sword. When the Grand Emperor attacks me, he attacks the sacred sword as well. That's why I'm still alive."

Qin Mu stared with his eyes wide open. After a moment, he let out a shaky breath. "Truly a monster…"

"If it were you, you could do it too."

Celestial Venerable Yun said humbly, "After all, you are the Peerless Overlord Body that defeated Celestial Venerable Huo and Celestial Venerable Hao, and you are also the guide of the Crimson Light Era. In the Great Overarching Heaven, I saw a lot of things that you have done, and I was impressed."

Qin Mu said with a straight face, "Of course I can do it. I'm the Overlord Body, but I didn't expect Brother Yun to be no weaker than me."

Even though he said so, he was still not confident.

When facing geniuses like Celestial Venerable Yun and Celestial Venerable Yu, he was always a little unconfident.

Celestial Venerable Yun was the existence of the divine bridge that was at the end of the road. When there was no path of cultivation in front of him, he forcefully opened up the Divine Bridge Divine Treasure and enlightened Celestial Venerable Yu into opening up the celestial palace!

Compared to such a monster, he really didn't have the confidence.

However, even if he lost, he wouldn't lose. He still had to keep his mouth shut.

"In other words, you have patched up the Grand Emperor's weakness."

Qin Mu's gaze flickered as he paced back and forth on the bow of the ship. Suddenly, he stopped and raised his head. "As long as you are around, the Grand Emperor will have no weakness! You are coexisting with the Grand Emperor's Dao Tree and the Emperor Sword of Tai Chu. Attacking the Grand Emperor is also attacking you."

Celestial Venerable Yun said, "If I can get rid of the Grand Emperor because of this, I'm willing to give up my primordial spirit."

Qin Mu shook his head and sneered. "Yun, you think too little of your own life. How can the Grand Emperor's life be compared to yours? The Grand Emperor can't personally descend to the lower bound in the Great Overarching Consciousness Heaven, so it's not dangerous. If it wasn't for saving you, why would I have to go through so much trouble to invite so many experts and enter the Great Overarching Consciousness Heaven? Your life is even more important than the Grand Emperor's!"

Celestial Venerable Yun was moved. "Xiao Weisu and Celestial Venerable Hao were also invited by you?"

"That's right. I spent quite a bit of effort to invite them to assist me." Qin Mu nodded and continued to think about how to solve the problem of the Grand Emperor. He wanted to resolve the strange symbiosis between Celestial Venerable Yun and the Grand Emperor.

Celestial Venerable Yun had a strange expression.

Qin Mu's relationship with Celestial Venerable Xiao and Celestial Venerable Hao was obviously not that good. The reason he invited the two of them to assist him was most likely due to various schemes and tricks.

This style of handling matters was very different from Celestial Venerable Yun's.

Celestial Venerable Yun also had his own schemes and plots when dealing with matters, such as using a honey trap to kill Celestial Emperor Tai Chu and the Grand Emperor. These two schemes were very shady, and he was more ruthless than anyone else. He didn't even hesitate to kill a million masters of creation. If it was Qin Mu, he wouldn't be able to do this.

However, he was more of a walking king. He was upright and had the bearing of Celestial Venerable Yu back then.

Qin Mu's schemes were even more treacherous, and he was even better at using the Grand Emperor's power to defeat Celestial Venerable Hao, Celestial Venerable Xiao, and Celestial Venerable Hao.

However, from this point, one could see that the environment Qin Mu was in was too harsh on him.

The ten Celestial Venerables controlled the power of the world and all powers. With the divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu to suppress the various worlds, it was even more despairing than the Dragon Han Era. Under the pressure of such extreme power, no one could develop their own power. The only path Qin Mu could take was to borrow strength to fight.

Celestial Venerable Yun had his own schemes and plots when he dealt with matters back then, but he usually used his own power to set things up, such as killing the Grand Emperor and Celestial Emperor.

That was because during the Dragon Han Era, the only enemy in the Paramita Void was the Grand Emperor, and the Dragon Han Celestial Heavens only had one ruler—Celestial Emperor. He was unable to split the power of the enemy.

Suddenly, Celestial Venerable Hao grunted and fell from above. He was covered in blood from the Grand Emperor's beating.

Countless tree roots coiled around him and tore at his limbs and head, hanging him in the air. His limbs and head were pulled straight.

Celestial Venerable Hao struggled, but he couldn't break free. His injuries were too severe, and his heart was shattered by Qin Mu. His chest was pierced through, and he still couldn't recover.

The Dao injury that Qin Mu had left behind was something that even Goddess Tai Su couldn't heal.

Suddenly, he saw Qin Mu and Celestial Venerable Yun, and he was stunned. He shouted, "Celestial Venerable Mu, aren't you going to undo the Dao injuries on my body?"

Qin Mu was thinking hard about his strategy. He waved his hand, and the Dao injury in Celestial Venerable Hao's chest vanished. His heart grew back, and his ribs were reborn.

Celestial Venerable Hao's spirit was roused, and he frantically executed the celestial palaces and throne halls. His primordial spirit stood on the celestial heavens, executing the ten thousand celestial wheels to slice in all directions, shaking the roots of the Dao Tree until they fell off his body.

Celestial Venerable Hao rose into the air and attacked the Grand Emperor.

Just as he flew up, Founding Emperor fell from the sky.

Founding Emperor only cultivated the sword path, and he valued quality over quantity. He had never cultivated Creation Mysterious Technique before, and he focused on raising his sword path to the highest level.

Therefore, even though his abilities were strong, the more injuries his corporeal body suffered, the more it would threaten his life. It would cause his injuries to become more severe, and his abilities would eventually be greatly reduced.

Qin Mu waved his hand, and the creation divine art flew out. When Founding Emperor was still falling, the creation divine art had already healed his injuries.

Founding Emperor gave a long roar, and his spirit multiplied as he attacked the sky again.

"The Tai Chu Emperor Sword can't land in Celestial Venerable Xiao's hands. If it lands in Celestial Venerable Xiao's hands, he'll probably chop us down after he kills the Grand Emperor."

Qin Mu glanced at Celestial Venerable Yun. Celestial Venerable Yun's back was connected to the Dao Tree. He couldn't be sure if Celestial Venerable Yun would be implicated if the Grand Emperor died.

If one died in the Ultimate Void, even Qin Mu wouldn't be able to save them. This was because both the corporeal body and soul would completely transform into the void, making it impossible to summon them back.

Furthermore, how to take out Tai Chu's accompanying treasure was also a huge problem.

The sword was hidden in the Dao Tree. Founding Emperor, Celestial Venerable Xiao, and the rest couldn't even damage the skin of the Dao Tree, much less cut it open!

He couldn't help but have a headache. The current Grand Emperor's Dao Tree had taken root in the emperor's sword, and he had borrowed Celestial Emperor's corporeal body. It could be said that there were no flaws!

The only flaw was probably the primordial runes that Qin Mu had hidden in Celestial Emperor's corporeal body!

"Yun, impart the Grand Overarching Supreme Consciousness that you comprehended to me!"

Qin Mu's eyes sparkled, and he lowered his voice. "If there's a change, you must get that sacred sword. You can't let it fall into Celestial Venerable Xiao's hands!"

Celestial Venerable Yun nodded silently, and his consciousness rippled as he imparted the Grand Overarching Supreme Consciousness that he had comprehended to him.

An incomparably complicated and marvelous technique instantly appeared in Qin Mu's mind. He had learned the Great Overarching Supreme Consciousness technique before, and he had relied on refining the Grand Emperor's consciousness to seize the memories of the Great Overarching Supreme Consciousness, thus obtaining the incomplete version of this technique.

After that, Qin Mu used his own talent and wisdom to complete it. He then fused the system of divine treasures and celestial palaces of the later generations, combining them with his own Spirit Embryo Divine Treasure, and only then did he succeed.

However, the Grand Overarching Supreme Consciousness that he had repaired was incomplete and inferior to the Grand Emperor. In addition, his consciousness cultivation wasn't as high as the Grand Emperor's, so he couldn't use his consciousness to fight against Heavenly Lady Qiang or the Grand Emperor's corporeal bodies.

The Grand Overarching Supreme Consciousness that Celestial Venerable Yun had imparted to him was a technique that the Grand Emperor had learned after combining the divine treasures and celestial palaces system of the later generations. It had Celestial Venerable Yun's own comprehensions and made up for the flaws of this technique. It was even more complete than what the Grand Emperor had learned and comprehended!

He then combined the flawless Great Overarching Supreme Consciousness he had comprehended with his Purple Heavens Blue Skies technique and fused it into the Purple Heavens Blue Skies technique, creating his own unique path.

"This is a technique to achieve the Dao!"

Qin Mu couldn't help but admire Celestial Venerable Yun even more. He thought to himself, 'After being suppressed for hundreds of thousands of years, he was still able to turn his disadvantage into an advantage. He used the Grand Emperor's path of attaining the Dao to comprehend his own path of attainment. His talent isn't inferior to mine!'

Celestial Venerable Yun and the Grand Emperor had fought each other for hundreds of thousands of years. First, Celestial Venerable Yun had schemed to use the chaotic consciousness formed from the deaths of millions of masters of creation and the incomplete unchanging divine art of Celestial Venerable Ling to kill the Grand Emperor's corporeal body and trap it in the supreme consciousness realm of the Great Void.

After that, the Grand Emperor's primordial spirit reincarnated and transformed into Celestial Venerable Ming Fangyu. He killed Celestial Venerable Yun at the end of the Dragon Han Era and hid Celestial Venerable Yun's corpse in the heart of the Grand Emperor's corporeal body to suppress it. His primordial spirit was then sent to the Great Overarching Consciousness Heaven for torture.

The feud between these two could be said to be legendary.

What was even more legendary was that Celestial Venerable Yun's primordial spirit had used the suppression of the Grand Emperor to comprehend the Grand Emperor's technique and patch up the Grand Emperor's deficiencies to comprehend his own path of Dao!

The outcome between the two of them had yet to be determined!

"Yun, protect me!"

Qin Mu threw down this sentence and entered his dream. In his dream, a boundless world was formed. Countless dainty Qin Mus were born from the dream, and each of them comprehended the complete Grand Overarching Supreme Consciousness. They tried to comprehend the marvel of this technique in the shortest time possible.

Not only did he have to comprehend it, he also had to borrow his own wisdom to completely integrate this technique into his Overlord Body Three Elixir Technique, raising his cultivation, abilities, and horizons!

Celestial Venerable Yun didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he watched him fall into a dream at the bow of the ship. He yearned to meet Qin Mu and chat with him freely, thinking that it would be the greatest blessing in his life.

However, in the long history of the Dragon Han Era, this wish was never fulfilled. In the end, his body and Dao vanished, and this wish became his greatest regret.

He had once imagined himself discussing the Dao with Qin Mu, and when he thought of the wonderful points, he couldn't help howling like a song to express the surging emotions in his heart. He even thought of different scenes and different content that they were talking about, which really made his heart surge.

However, when he really met Qin Mu, he didn't expect Qin Mu to be such an unreliable fellow. In such a dangerous situation, he could still enter a dream without any guard up!

'Celestial Venerable Mu is like, like… a silly roe deer!'

He thought to himself, 'Where is his glorious and majestic image from the legends?'

Suddenly, Celestial Venerable Xiao's corporeal body became tattered, and he fell from the sky. His injuries were extremely severe, even worse than those of Founding Emperor and Celestial Venerable Hao!

The Grand Emperor took the most care of him, so he was the most ruthless!

Celestial Venerable Yun was astonished. He was helpless against such injuries.

At this moment, Qin Mu, who was in a dream, gently raised his hand. The injuries on Celestial Venerable Xiao's body healed quickly, and he immediately recovered. He cupped his hands at Qin Mu from afar and rose into the air, attacking the Grand Emperor again.

Celestial Venerable Yun was stunned. He looked at Qin Mu, who had entered his dream at the bow of the ship, and he smiled. "He's not a silly roe deer. On the contrary, he's extremely alert even in his sleep."

Not long later, Qin Mu suddenly stood up and laughed loudly. The World Crossing Golden Ship broke through the sky, and his voice came from afar. "Yun, wait for me. I'll break through the Grand Emperor's invincibility and rescue you!"

'He comprehended the marvel of my technique so quickly?'

Celestial Venerable Yun was slightly stunned, then he revealed a gratified smile. "As expected of Celestial Venerable Mu! Such talent isn't inferior to mine!"
