Tales of Herding Gods
Chapter 1387: Alliance Leader Of The Heaven Alliance

"What kind of divine art is this?"

Celestial Venerable Hong was slightly at a loss. He tried to use his Dao heart to break the Nine Hells Lock, but as his Dao heart moved, he felt countless spikes growing frantically in the Nine Hells Stage, preventing his Dao heart from escaping!

His Dao heart felt a stabbing pain.

Qin Mu's Nine Hells Incarceration Dao was eternal and couldn't lock down his cultivation. However, it locked down his Dao heart.

His cultivation was too strong, and even the real Nine Hells Stage couldn't do anything to him. Furthermore, this divine art of Qin Mu's was born from the Nine Hells Stage on the back of the ancestral court.

However, the divine art of Nine Hells Incarceration wasn't targeted at his cultivation. Instead, it locked down his Dao heart. Even though the effect of Dao heart wasn't as strong as cultivation, it was still extremely important.

The system of divine treasures and celestial palaces raised one's cultivation and magic power. They placed emphasis on power, so Dao heart wasn't important to power.

However, Founding Emperor took a different path and created the system of Dao Realm.

Other than comprehending the Great Dao, the advancement of the Dao Realm also had an important effect on the Dao heart.

The one with the strongest Dao heart in this world was Founding Emperor, which was why he could rival the ten Celestial Venerables when he was at the 34th heaven of the Dao Realm. Qin Mu locking Celestial Venerable Hong's Dao heart meant that Celestial Venerable Hong's advancement in the Dao Realm was sealed, and there was no possibility of him entering the Dao Realm.

Only when his comprehension of the Heavenly Dao reached the twenty-four heavens of the Dao Realm would he be able to break through Qin Mu's blockade of his Dao heart.

However, even though Celestial Venerable Hong was the protector of the Founding Emperor Era and had absorbed the fruits of the Founding Emperor Era, he didn't know much about the relationship between Dao heart and Dao Realm.

He didn't know what it meant for his Dao heart to be locked by Qin Mu.

After all, the current system of the Dao Realm was only at the initial stage, and no one had truly reached the perfected stage of the Dao Realm. Meanwhile, Qin Mu's Nine Hells Incarceration Heart Everlasting was also a great divine art that had just been created to enter the path, and this was the first time it had been revealed to the world.

Other than his Dao heart being locked, he didn't feel anything wrong or weakening.

This weakening was built on the foundation of the Dao heart. He couldn't feel it now, but if Celestial Venerable Hong was injured and his cultivation was damaged, he would feel that his vital qi, consciousness, primordial spirit, corporeal body, and even the Great Dao he had cultivated were all locked up. He wouldn't be able to recover to his peak state!

If he wasn't injured, then everything was fine. It was just Qin Mu locking his Dao heart.

However, as long as he was injured, he would be consigned to eternal damnation!

This was the power of Qin Mu's twenty-fifth heaven divine art!

"Why is Celestial Venerable Mu fighting with Celestial Venerable Hong?"

Yun Chuxiu walked over, and the girl's braids swayed back and forth as she giggled. "That old thing has always been a good person. How did you offend him?"

Suddenly, Qin Mu's eyes, ears, mouth, and nose started to bleed. Yun Chuxiu jumped in shock and cried out, "You looked fine just now. You could have been reborn if you were shattered. Why do you look like you are about to die?"

"You're the one who's going to die."

Qin Mu snorted coldly and said indifferently, "I was injured by Celestial Venerable Hong. Even though my corporeal body and primordial spirit have recovered, his divine art is too strong. He left me some injuries and damaged my corporeal body and primordial spirit from time to time. However, it doesn't matter. I have cultivated the Medical Dao Celestial Palace, so these injuries aren't difficult for me."

Yun Chuxiu saw two trails of blood flowing down from his ears, two trails of blood flowing down from his eyes, and two trails of blood from his nostrils. She secretly looked at his lower body.

Qin Mu was furious. "Where are you looking?"

Yun Chuxiu hurriedly smiled and said, "I was looking to see if you would bleed, but it's a pity you didn't."

Qin Mu snorted and said, "Why is this clone of yours here? During the meeting of the Heaven Alliance, you should at least use the corporeal body of Yuanmu, right? Otherwise, it would be too disrespectful. You should have taken back Yuanmu's corporeal body, right?"

"Of course."

Yun Chuxiu plainly said, "You let Celestial Venerable You scheme against me and used my corporeal body to coerce me, forcing me to repair the divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu in Earth Count's hands. If I didn't take back my corporeal body, your Eternal Peace would already be dead."

"Didn't you also trick me? Celestial Venerable Gong, God Emperor Lang Xuan, and Heavenly Lady Yan all went to find me. They almost skinned me alive."

Qin Mu utilized the Medical Dao Celestial Palace to suppress the Dao injuries and slowly treat them. Even though his Dao injuries were severe, Celestial Venerable Hong didn't use his full strength to save his life, so the Medical Dao Celestial Palace could still heal him.

Ever since Apothecary displayed the power of the celestial palace of medicine and executed it as Celestial Venerable Yue, Qin Mu's attainments in the path of medicine had also improved.

Apothecary's medical path and celestial palace of the medical path were truly exquisite and mystical. Even with the path of creation, it was still impossible to reach them.

Yun Chuxiu sighed and said bitterly, "I can't use my corporeal body or touch Shi Qiluo during this meeting. Otherwise, if the ten Celestial Venerables have ill intentions, wouldn't I lose my corporeal body and lose my life? Therefore, I'll use this body to attend the meeting first. It won't be too late for me to appear after everything is confirmed."

The two of them walked into the Jade Pool Small Construction, and Qin Mu no longer bled from his seven apertures. His injuries had slightly recovered, but his face was still slightly sallow. He sighed ruefully and said, "Back then, I beat up your son Celestial Venerable Hao here, starting from the main hall of the side palace."

Yun Chuxiu recalled the past and sighed ruefully. "It's a pity I couldn't beat him to death. Your abilities are too weak. If I beat him to death, nothing will happen."

Qin Mu said angrily, "Weren't you the one who stopped me back then?"

Yun Chuxiu immediately begged for mercy. "Back then, it was my first time giving birth, and I was eager to protect my child. Seeing how you were so brave and fierce to actually injure my son, I was naturally very nervous. You were especially fierce back then, causing my young deer to run amok and turning a young woman's heart into a young girl's…"

Qin Mu was speechless. This little girl always didn't speak the truth. Of course, listening to her sweet talk was much more comfortable than listening to her sweet talk.

The two of them walked past the main hall of the side palace and came to the front of Celestial Venerable Hall.

Yun Chuxiu was a little nervous, and she tugged at his sleeve. Qin Mu hurriedly struggled free. Mistress Yuanmu was an eccentric ancient god, so he couldn't believe anything she said or even her expression.

"When this woman gets ruthless, she even lies to herself! She's not nervous at all, she's just acting like this."

The two of them walked into the hall and saw Hao, Huo, Xu, Lang, Zu, Gong, Qiang, and Yan. The eight Celestial Venerables had already arrived and were seated in two rows.

In the middle, there were five praying mats, which should represent the five people who founded the Heaven Alliance.

Celestial Venerable Hao sat at the head of the left row, while the head of the right row was probably empty. Although Celestial Venerable Xiao was exiled, he was still one of the leaders of the ten Celestial Venerables.

Pairs of eyes instantly landed on Qin Mu and Yun Chuxiu. Qin Mu smiled and walked towards the five praying mats on the main seat.

"Hold on."

Celestial Venerable Hao's gaze moved away from Yun Chuxiu and landed on Qin Mu. He said indifferently, "Celestial Venerable Mu, many Dao friends have proposed to let you enter our circle of power, so it's not convenient for me to object. As long as you sit on the main seat, you will be one of us, and our benefits will be split with you. You will also have a share of the benefits behind the ancestral court and the ancestral court. However, because you don't have much contribution, you will have to bear all the blame of the Heaven Alliance in the future. You have to consider carefully."

Qin Mu laughed loudly and continued to walk towards the praying mat on the main seat. "That's right, my abilities are weak. If I don't take the blame, I indeed don't have the right to split the benefits equally with you guys. I'll take the blame for Heaven Alliance!"

He came to the front of the praying mat in the center of the five praying mats, and with a shake of his shirt, he sat down. The eye in the heart of his brows opened up, and he looked at all the Celestial Venerables present.

Celestial Venerable Hong walked over and sat down on his praying mat. He said with a smile, "Celestial Venerable Mu, you sure are fast. After all, you are a young man, you are nimble."

Celestial Venerable Hao said solemnly, "Since Dao Friend Hong is here, the meeting of the Heaven Alliance can begin. Celestial Venerable Xiao isn't here, and we have a new member, Shi Qiluo of Patriarch Creation Celestial Palace. He has great talent and great ambition, and his cultivation isn't weaker than ours. He can join the meeting. What do you all think?"

Yun Chuxiu stood in the center of the hall. On both sides were nine Celestial Venerables, and their scrutinizing gazes landed on her.

Celestial Venerable Huo sneered. "What makes Mistress Yuanmu qualified to become a Celestial Venerable?"

Celestial Venerable Hong coughed and said, "The ten Celestial Venerables don't care about background. If we ask about background, I'm afraid we won't be able to gather enough power to change the world."

Celestial Venerable Huo raised his eyebrows and snorted. "When the ancient gods enter the ranks of Celestial Venerables, I'm the first to be unconvinced!"

Celestial Venerable Hao said, "Yuanmu is my mother, Dao Friend Huo, please pardon her."

Celestial Venerable Huo hesitated for a moment and bowed slightly. "I was rash. Since Mistress Yuanmu is already dead, she is no longer an ancient god. Dao Brother Shiluo, I have always been rough. Please forgive me if I have offended you."

Ancestral God King glanced at Yun Chuxiu and said indifferently, "Celestial Venerable Huo calls Shi Qiluo Dao Brother, but I don't agree. Mistress Yuanmu died at Celestial Venerable Ling's hands and transformed into Shi Qiluo. Shi Qiluo is younger than us, so how much cultivation can he have? The ten Celestial Venerables aren't people that just anyone can enter. Letting an ordinary person like Celestial Venerable Mu enter is already an exception, I can't make an exception. Celestial Venerable Mu, I'm straightforward, I'm not targeting you."

Qin Mu smiled slightly and said leisurely, "I know you have a straightforward personality, so I won't take it to heart. I'm also curious about what abilities Shi Qiluo has."

Yun Chuxiu looked around and suddenly chuckled. "My cultivation is naturally inferior to everyone's, but I have three divine weapons, Celestial Venerable Yu. Can I be ranked as a Celestial Venerable?"

The moment he said that, everyone's expression changed.

Mistress Yuanmu had transformed into Shi Qiluo and controlled the Patriarch Creation Palace. All these years, she had probably cut corners and saved countless divine materials to forge three divine weapons, Celestial Venerable Yu!

The Patriarch Creation Palace was responsible for the creation of all the divine weapons, ships, and even celestial palaces. Even if Celestial Venerables wanted to refine precious treasures, they had to let the Patriarch Creation Palace do it in the early stages.

In recent years, the Patriarch Creation Palace's financial resources were even more astonishing. They had allocated the work of forging divine weapons, ships, and Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge to Eternal Peace. The price was very low, but the price they had to pay to the celestial heavens had doubled!

All the Celestial Venerables knew that Shi Qiluo was greedy, but they didn't expect him to be so greedy. He even used the treasures he had stolen to create three divine weapons, Celestial Venerable Yu!

What was even more terrifying was that he only said he had three divine weapons, Celestial Venerable Yu. No one knew how many he had created!

Ancestral God King suddenly laughed out loud. "I have no objections to Shi Qiluo becoming a Celestial Venerable."

The other Celestial Venerables also nodded and said, "No objections."

Celestial Venerable Hao looked at Qin Mu and asked solemnly, "What do you think, Alliance Master?"

Qin Mu smiled and nodded. "Please take a seat, Celestial Venerable Shi."

Yun Chuxiu bowed and sat down.

Celestial Venerable Hao said, "Celestial Venerable Shi can get a share of the benefits in the ancestral court. Celestial Venerable Shi can also get a share of the benefits behind the ancestral court. What do you think of the dragons and primordial behemoths?"

In the hall, all the Celestial Venerables revealed playful smiles.

Celestial Venerable Hao coughed and said solemnly, "The incident in the Beast World was spread by Alliance Master. What do you think, Alliance Master?"

Qin Mu said with a smile, "This is great. If we let the behemoths stay behind the ancestral court, the ones that receive the greatest benefits will only have strong consciousnesses, so why not establish the beast world and impart the summoning divine art."

"The Beast World is feasible," Celestial Venerable Gong said with a smile.

God Emperor Lang Xuan praised, "Alliance Master is indeed wise, I also think the Beast Realm is feasible."

Everyone praised, "It's feasible, it's feasible."

Qin Mu asked again, "Is it feasible for a dragon to be the ruler of the beast world?"

Celestial Venerable Hong said, "The beast world needs to be taken care of by the gods. If the dragon can do it, there's no harm in making him the master of the beast world."

The other Celestial Venerables nodded, and Celestial Venerable Huo said, "Dragons are hard to tame. Even though we know Celestial Venerable is powerful, we might not be willing to use you."

Qin Mu smiled. "Dragon, come out!"

The void behind him suddenly split open, and nine huge dragon heads appeared. The eighteen eyes of the dragon opened up, and they were incomparably bright, reflecting the snow white inside Celestial Venerable Hall.

"The primordial divine dragon pays its respects to the Celestial Venerables and the alliance master of the Heaven Alliance!"
