Tales Of Herding Gods | Chapter 1662

"Dao Tree distribution map?" Qin Mu's spirit was roused.

The place marked by the Tai Yi Geographical Map had always puzzled him. He had never found such a place in the 17th Epoch universe. Previously, he even thought that it might have been set up by the Obelisk Forest, so he planned to search again.

Never did he expect that this youth called Shang Jun would actually recognize this geographical map!

"The distribution map of the Dao Tree in the Ultimate Void of the sixteenth era?"

Qin Mu was astonished, and he was very puzzled. 'I didn't return to the past universe, so why did Tai Yi give me the map of the Dao Tree of the sixteenth era? How am I supposed to save him?'

Shang Jun said, "In the sixteenth era, I once wanted to kill a few more people who had achieved the Dao, so I specially researched the distribution of these Daolords' Great Overarching Heavens. Thus, when you took out this painting, I recognized it."

Qin Mu couldn't help sizing him up a few more times. Suddenly, his heart stirred slightly, and he said, "When I was in the Jade Capital of the ancestral court, during my time in the primordial chaos, I saw someone who had achieved the Dao through killing. Before the apocalypse, he had killed those who had achieved the Dao and cultivated to the thirty-six heavens of the Dao Realm. He imprinted the ultimate void and cultivated Dao Fruit, finally crushing the ultimate void. Is this person you?"

Shang Jun's expression dimmed, and he nodded silently.

Qin Mu said, "You killed the sixteenth era of the universe, and all the living beings died because of that. Almost everyone died by your hands indirectly. No wonder your abilities are so strong."

Shang Jun's aura withered, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. There was no life in him, and he stood there motionlessly as if he was about to transform into the path.

The old woman gave a cough and said, "I've heard that the seventh young master killed people and destroyed the hearts of people first. Now that I've seen it today, it's indeed the case. No matter if Shang Jun has killed his way into the path or not, the sixteenth era will still be destroyed. The reason why the sixteenth era was destroyed wasn't because of Shang Jun, but because of the Miluo Palace. If there weren't so many people who had achieved the Dao to the sixteenth era, how could this universe have been destroyed so quickly?"

Shang Jun's expression became slightly better, and his aura also recovered slightly.

Qin Mu took a glance at her and said, "The only difference is whether the sixteenth era was destroyed by the hands of Miluo Palace or by Shang Jun. If it was destroyed by the hands of Miluo Palace, the murderer would be the Miluo Palace. If it was killed by Shang Jun, the murderer would be Shang Jun."

Shang Jun's aura withered again, and it was even worse than before!

"You!"

Veins popped out on the forehead of that old woman, and her white hair fluttered in the wind. The old man hurriedly stopped her and said with a smile, "No wonder everyone says that the hardest to deal with in Miluo Palace is the seventh young master. Now that we have seen him today, we are truly convinced. Why is the seventh young master looking for that person called Tai Yi?"

"I'm indebted to him. All the living beings of the seventeenth era are indebted to him, so I have to repay his kindness. I have to save him no matter what."

Qin Mu didn't hide it from him and said, "It was Tai Yi that stopped the stowaways of the past and block the invasion of Miluo Palace. Even though he's the first stowaways of the seventeenth era, I have to repay this favor! He was suppressed by Miluo Palace and left behind this geographical map. I plan to find him and save him."

"I didn't expect Seventh Young Master to be such a loyal person."

That girl called Ya Ya revealed a look of astonishment and said, "This is different from the seventh young master I've heard about. I've heard that the seventh young master of Miluo Palace is a person who commits all kinds of crimes. He's also cunning and ruthless, and it can be said that he has sores on his head and feet. He has done all kinds of bad things!"

Qin Mu's face flushed red, and he stuttered to defend himself, "This is slander! This is definitely slander. Those who know me, who doesn't know that I'm kind and helpful…"

The pig head coughed and was still placed on the plate. "Seventh young master, there's no need to explain. Our current situation has already explained everything. If seventh young master wasn't that kind of person in the legends, we wouldn't have fallen so miserably."

Qin Mu snorted and said, "This is the first time I'm meeting all of you, so why would I lie to you? Please guide me on the distribution of the Dao Tree in the sixteenth era."

Shang Jun was silent and looked at the others.

The old man chuckled. "Seventh young master just said that Tai Yi can save that cripple? Can you tell us the reason behind this?"

Qin Mu smiled and said, "In that case, I would like to ask everyone, when did you guys feel that you could escape from the obelisk?"

Everyone was slightly stunned and started to think.

"Your escape from the obelisk should be related to this Universal Era, right?"

Qin Mu said, "This person is Tai Yi. Back then, Tai Yi sneaked into this universe era and seized the Tai Yi egg, becoming Tai Yi. After he achieved the Dao, he immediately came to this abandoned land and found this gate to forcefully open the seal on big young master."

The old man and the old woman looked at each other in silence.

The girl and the woman were at a loss. The woman asked, "Why did Tai Yi save us?"

Qin Mu shook his head and said, "He's not here to save you, he's here to save the paralyzed ones in your village."

This time, even Shang Jun and the pig head were astonished. The pig head on the plate raised the left pig trotter on the other plate and scratched his mane. He asked in puzzlement, "Paralyzed? That cripple from our village?"

"It's that cripple."

Qin Mu said, "The goal of his trip was to save him. He was the first one to sneak into this Universe Era, and he was also the first one to achieve the Dao. He was the only one in the entire universe that blocked the sneak of Miluo Palace, so he could complete a huge task that he had never had the chance to do before! This huge task was extremely important! Thus, he barged into this place and blasted open the door. His aura was peerless as he pulled out the obelisk with all his strength and broke through the arrangement of big young master, allowing all of you to escape from the stone tablet!"

Everyone looked at the old man, and the pig head shouted, "Old monster, your cultivation is the highest, and you are also the first to wake up. You are the one who woke us up, allowing us to walk out of the stone tablet. Are you free from the stone tablet as he said?"

The old man sighed and nodded silently. "It was indeed something that happened at the beginning of this universe. You guys were suppressed and have been in a deep sleep. I have been awake since the beginning of the suppression, so I have to look after the paralyzed one. The paralyzed one is extremely important, so I can't lose him. At this moment, I feel a powerful existence from this universe descending…"

Shang Jun suddenly asked, "Who is this cripple?"

Everyone looked at the paralyzed man in the room and saw that the small village had almost been razed to the ground. The room where the paralyzed man was in had also been destroyed. The paralyzed man was still lying on the bed and sunbathing.

The battle earlier was so fierce, but he didn't seem to be affected at all.

Logically speaking, if they fought with an existence like Qin Mu, the paralyzed man would definitely be blown away by the aftershock. However, the paralyzed man was lying there perfectly fine and didn't even move the corner of his shirt.

Even though they were all suppressed here, only the old man and the old woman knew the identity of the paralyzed man. The two of them kept the identity of the paralyzed man a secret and never mentioned his origin.

The two of them had extremely high statuses and were respected by everyone. However, they were very respectful to this cripple, so the other people in the village also took more care of him.

"He is…"

The old man hesitated for a moment before saying, "He is the creator of the Heaven Capital."

The faces of the pig head, woman, and girl changed drastically. Their gazes all landed on the paralyzed man on the sickbed, and they cried out, "He is that existence?"

It was obvious that Shang Jun had never heard of Tiandu and was a little lost.

The old man continued, "I was actually entrusted by someone to take the initiative to be captured by Eldest Young Master. Hehe, although Eldest Young Master's abilities are high, my old demon's abilities back then weren't inferior to his. Of course, I was suppressed for a few universe cycles, so I'm definitely far inferior to him now. The person who entrusted me with a great debt of gratitude. She entrusted me to do it even if I have to sacrifice my life. She entrusted me to take care of the cripple, so I came here."

The old woman had never heard him mention this matter before, and she said in astonishment, "Old monster, back then, your reputation was extremely resounding, and your abilities were high. Your origins were ancient, and I was still wondering why you were also captured and suppressed here. I didn't expect there to be such a reason! Who would have the face to make you do such a thing?"

The old man didn't want to talk about it, so he said, "Let's not talk about it. Back then, I sensed a powerful existence breaking through the restriction and breaking the seal on big young master. The seal loosened, and I escaped from the stone tablet. I sensed the power of that person, so it should be the Tai Yi that seventh young master mentioned. However, when this Tai Yi walked into the stone tablet forest, something strange happened."

His old face was full of wrinkles, and he picked up his water pipe to take two puffs. However, the smoke had long been burnt out. The old man tapped the ashes of his pipe and pinched a few leaves of the Dao Tree to turn them into smoke. He said, "That person's aura was extremely strong, but when he got close to the monument forest, his aura suddenly dropped drastically. The speed at which his aura declined was beyond my imagination!"

The pig head on the plate said, "Big Young Master's Obelisk Forest can even suppress our magic power and divine arts. Tai Yi must have been suppressed by the Obelisk Forest!"

The old man shook his head. "That's not the case. His strength is not inferior to that of Eldest Young Master, so how could he be suppressed to such an extent by the seal that Eldest Young Master left behind? I also sensed that other than his aura dropping, his aura was also decreasing. In the blink of an eye, he seemed to be dying."

Qin Mu continued his words and said, "He then quickly retreated, and as he retreated, his aura became stronger. His aura also recovered rapidly, right?"

"How did Seventh Young Master know?"

The old man looked at him in astonishment and said, "It's indeed as the seventh young master said. After he left the Obelisk Forest, his aura recovered rapidly. When I sensed him coming to the door, his aura was mostly restored. When he left the door, his aura reached their peak."

Qin Mu's gaze flickered, and he said, "The reason why such a situation happened is that quality energy isn't easy. There was a person who used it to protect his soul. Even though he died in the hands of the master of Miluo Palace, he was still alive in the future. However, when two identical souls meet, one of them will definitely disappear."

Everyone was puzzled.

The old man had a guess and hurriedly looked at the paralyzed man, crying out, "You mean he's back?"

Qin Mu nodded his head and said, "That's right, he's back. However, he can't go near the paralyzed man. When he was outside and didn't pull out the first obelisk, he was separated from the paralyzed man in a different time and space, so he was fine. However, after pulling out the first obelisk, the seal was broken, and he was in the same time and space as the paralyzed man. Thus, he was rapidly disappearing, which is why you could feel his aura decreasing."

The old man was extremely excited, and his voice was hoarse. "He sensed that he was about to disappear, and he knew that he couldn't save himself, so he took the initiative to retreat! However, he still gave us a chance to escape, and he took away that obelisk!"

Qin Mu said, "After that, he continued to protect the ancestral court and waited for the right time. When I appeared, the Jade Capital City of the ancestral court appeared again. He tricked me and made me guard the black mountain of the ancestral court to block the smuggling of prehistoric strong practitioners. He then went straight to the Miluo Palace to argue with the master of the Miluo Palace and was beaten down to the fourth era by the master of the Miluo Palace."

He didn't continue.

Not only was Tai Yi going to argue with the master of the Miluuo Palace, but he was also going to investigate something.

Was the master of Miluo Palace dead?

No one knew who won or lost in their theories, but the master of Miluo Palace was indeed dead.

"This person is Tai Yi."

Qin Mu said meaningfully, "Old monster, the person I want to save is also him. However, I still have important matters to attend to and can't go to the sixteenth era to find him. Do you have a way?"

The old monster paced back and forth and suddenly stopped. He said hurriedly, "Young master, even though I don't know if Tai Yi is evil or not, if he was suppressed in the void of the sixteenth era, he definitely wouldn't have been wiped out by the great calamity of the sixteenth era. In that case, he must have survived until the seventeenth era! When he wasn't trapped, he who was suppressed in the void of the seventeenth era vanished and couldn't be observed. However, when he was struck down by the master of Miluo Palace in the fourth era, the suppressed him would definitely appear in the void of the seventeenth era!"

Qin Mu's heart trembled slightly, and he laughed. "No wonder he left behind the geographical map for me to save him! However…"

He frowned. "However, this is the distribution map of the Dao Tree in the Ultimate Void of the sixteenth era. It's different from the 17th Ultimate Void…"

Shang Jun suddenly said, "The Ultimate Void has no substance, only the Great Overarching Heaven can exist. Therefore, all the Ultimate Voids of the Universe Era are the same, all blank."

Qin Mu stared with his eyes wide open, and his heart pounded violently. "This also means that as long as there's a map of the sixteenth era, we can find where Tai Yi is imprisoned!"
