Tales of Herding Gods
Chapter 1390: The Flag Of The Great King

On the second celestial heavens, Dao Ancestor and Brahma Buddha stood up. Celestial Venerable Hao, Heavenly Lady Qiang, and the rest sat there motionlessly. Only Celestial Venerable Hong frowned slightly and glanced at Founding Emperor before looking at Qin Mu.

On the main seat, Qin Mu sat steadily and sneered. "Qin Ye, you changed your name back then to Qin Kai and traveled with me in the Dragon Han Era. You and I are honored by Celestial Emperor's high regard and are conferred the title of Celestial Venerable. Together with the seven Celestial Venerables who founded the seven realms of divine treasures, we are known as the Nine Celestial Venerables of the Dragon Han Era. At the Jade Pool Meeting, I waited for Celestial Venerable Yu to impart the method to become a god, beating Celestial Venerable Huo and Celestial Venerable Hao to a pulp. I established the path with my divine arts and established the Heaven Alliance, establishing the plan to defeat the precelestial lifeforms and half-gods!"

He stood up, and with a flick of his sleeves, a loud explosion burst forth from his sleeves. He coldly said, "I was honored as the alliance master of the Heaven Alliance, and my name is true. What virtue and ability do you have to be on par with me? Where is your cultivation? Where is your morality? Without morals, how can you be on par with me and be called a Celestial Venerable? You are just a useless Celestial Venerable. You were only conferred the title of Celestial Venerable Qin by chance because you fought me equally!"

When he said this, several Celestial Venerables couldn't sit still.

Qin Mu was clearly scolding Founding Emperor Qin Ye, but he was actually scolding them.

Qin Mu had imparted divine arts to allow ordinary people to live forever, to have the same lifespan as the ancient gods.

In an era where the path of divine arts was still newly created, his divine arts established the path. With a million years of experience from the previous era, he let the people of the world witness the power and transformations of divine arts, allowing them to see that the weak could master divine arts and defeat the high and mighty existences.

He then founded the Heaven Alliance and established the structure of the world for the next million years.

He was called Celestial Venerable Mu, and he deserved his name.

However, compared to him, the ten Celestial Venerables seemed to pale in comparison, especially Celestial Venerable Xu, Ancestral God King, Lang Xuan, Gong, Qiang, Hong, and Yan. None of the seven Celestial Venerables had any achievements.

In terms of contribution, only Celestial Venerable Hao could be on par with Qin Mu. However, the Heaven Alliance wasn't founded by Celestial Venerable Hao. Celestial Venerable Hao only became the leader of the Heaven Alliance because Qin Mu wasn't around.

However, even Celestial Venerable Hao and Celestial Venerable Huo looked embarrassed. They had indeed been beaten up by Qin Mu, especially Celestial Venerable Hao, who had been bedridden for thousands of years.

As for Founding Emperor Qin Ye, he was also embarrassed.

During the first year of the Dragon Han Era, he and Qin Mu had been conferred the title of Celestial Venerable together. It was indeed exaggerated, and it was because Celestial Emperor saw Qin Mu's face that he was conferred the title of Celestial Venerable Qin.

He could be said to have joined the ranks of the Nine Celestial Venerables of Dragon Han.

"Celestial Venerable Mu, I'm also one of the five founding elders of the Heaven Alliance."

Founding Emperor stopped and sneered. "Not to mention anything else, just the five founding elders are enough to be ranked among the Celestial Venerables. However, I'm not just that. I created the Dao Realm to make up for the deficiencies of the Celestial Palace Realm, establishing the Dao after the beginning! The Dao Realm I created, when combined with the Celestial Palace Realm, the thirty-six heavens of the Great Dao can imprint the ultimate void, and the universe will not be destroyed!"

He pressed his palm on the hilt of his sword and pulled it out brazenly. Sword light filled the sky.

Carefree Sword's light filled the celestial heavens, and thirty-five heavens appeared in front of the Southern Heavenly Gate of the celestial heavens. From the Grand Emperor's Calming Heavenly Sword, the Grand Brightness Heaven's Equal Sword, to the Upper Clarity Realm Sword Domain, and then to the Jade Pure Realm Sword Domain, all of the gods in the assembly could be seen!

In the 35 heavens of the sword realm, the pure sword path actually showed that it wasn't inferior to the power of the 35 heavens of the celestial palace. The aura of the sword path became denser from bottom to top. When it reached the Jade Pure Realm of the sword realm, the sword path almost became corporeal, making everyone who cultivated sword skills, sword skills, and sword path feel like they were worshiping a mountain!

With the appearance of the 35 Heavenly Dao realms, the divine weapons of everyone in the assembly rang incessantly, giving off waves of divine might. It was as though these divine weapons were trembling in fear at the peak of the Sword Dao and worshiping the Sword Domain!

This was a phenomenon that not even the ten Celestial Venerables had!

Behind Founding Emperor, the 35 levels of the Heavenly Dao Realm became brighter, and it was even more shocking. His words were like swords, and his sword pointed at the Dao heart. He was referring to every sacred Dao heart!

Even Celestial Venerables could feel a sharp sword pointing straight at the weakness in their Dao hearts!

Founding Emperor said indifferently, "The Dao Realm I created is different from the so-called ten Celestial Venerables. My Dao Realm isn't just creating a cultivation technique to make up for the deficiencies in the cultivation system of the celestial palaces. It's also a path that surpasses the natural order!"

"Shameless boasting!"

The nine Celestial Venerables frowned, but before they could say anything, Qin Mu had already slapped the armrest of his throne and shouted, "Celestial Venerable Qin, you are too shameless! You actually dare to say that you made up for the deficiencies in the cultivation system of the celestial palace? You are just boasting! As for Postcelestial defeating the Precelestial, you are boasting endlessly, making people despise you!"

Founding Emperor laughed loudly and pointed his sword at Qin Mu. His words were awe-inspiring and majestic. "Celestial Venerable Mu, when people cultivate, they only cultivate innate techniques and not Postcelestial divine arts or Postcelestial Great Daos. They just don't see the logic of Postcelestial defeating the Precelestial! Once my Sword Dao is formed, I can imprint my Sword Dao into the Great Overarching Heaven, the ultimate void, and the universe will never be destroyed! With just this Dao, can I be ranked as a Celestial Venerable?"

Qin Mu was about to say something when Founding Emperor cut him off and continued, "I created a technique for the Dao Realm and imparted it to the people of the world. Can I be ranked as a Celestial Venerable? The number of Connate Great Daos is limited, and I control them in the hands of the ancient gods. The Postcelestial Great Daos are endless. If I impart the technique of Postcelestial defeating the Connate to the people of the world, can I be ranked as a Celestial Venerable? Celestial Venerable Mu, you say I'm not worthy of being a Celestial Venerable. Can my achievements, Dao, and virtue be ranked as a Celestial Venerable? Can I become one of the five founding elders of the Heaven Alliance?"

Qin Mu's expression changed slightly, and cold sweat rolled down his forehead. He hurriedly got up and gave up his seat. With a fearful expression, he praised, "I actually didn't know that Celestial Venerable Qin had such Dao, virtue, merit, and achievements. I thought you were fishing for fame and glory, so I underestimated you. Even though my merits and morals are great, I'm still inferior to you. You are ranked as one of the five elders of the Heaven Alliance, one of the alliance masters. My confidant is convinced. Please take a seat, I'll sit at the bottom."

Everyone was still in a daze.

Just a moment ago, the two of them were still shouting angrily at Celestial Venerable Qin. It was as if Qin Mu had torn Celestial Venerable Qin apart with his bare hands and sent him to eternal damnation. However, in the blink of an eye, he was completely convinced and prostrated on the ground.

This change in attitude was truly dazzling.

Founding Emperor walked over with his sword in hand and said with a smile, "Celestial Venerable Mu has a broad heart, establishing the path with his divine arts, establishing the Heaven Alliance, broadening his heart to the world, and being a Dao imparting sacred king and a magnanimous gentleman, your merits aren't inferior to mine. Although I have merit and virtue, the Heaven Alliance was founded by you after all. I'm convinced that you have become the chief, so I can only be ranked second."

Qin Mu immediately greeted him politely and invited him to take a seat at the head of the table. Founding Emperor declined continuously, and the two of them politely gave way to each other. The gods, emperors, and heavenly teachers of the second and first celestial heavens were all dumbstruck.

The nine Celestial Venerables also frowned and looked at each other.

The coordination of these two people was simply flawless, as if they had rehearsed it countless times. Founding Emperor Qin Ye came over aggressively, looking like he was going to cause a huge ruckus in the Heaven Alliance Meeting.

Qin Mu's words were intense, and it was as if he wanted to personally kill Founding Emperor, punish evil, and fight him to the death.

Yet no matter how they talked, it became flattery. Founding Emperor, this traitor, had also become a great saint that had rendered meritorious service to the people of the world and the countries of the heavens?

Furthermore, Founding Emperor had instantly transformed from a traitor to one of the five elders of the Heaven Alliance. He was fully deserving of the title of Celestial Venerable, and in the blink of an eye, he had ascended to the throne of power of the Heaven Alliance. This was simply too bizarre and unbelievable.

Qin Mu couldn't reject him and could only take a seat at the head of the table, his face full of glory. "I shall reluctantly sit at the head of the table with a thick face. I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed! Hahahaha."

Founding Emperor sat down, and the nine Celestial Venerables looked over with cold expressions.

Qin Mu's face was radiant, and he was pleased with himself. He smiled at Founding Emperor and said, "I had many misunderstandings about Dao brother, and now that I've cleared them, I feel that Celestial Venerable Qin is a good person. It's a blessing of three lifetimes to sit with you…"

Founding Emperor was about to speak, but Celestial Venerable Hao looked at Celestial Venerable Huo expressionlessly. Celestial Venerable Huo understood and stood up. "Celestial Venerable Mu, is this appropriate?"

Qin Mu acknowledged and leaned forward, pressing his right elbow on his right knee. He turned sideways and asked curiously, "Celestial Venerable Huo, what's wrong?"

Celestial Venerable Huo said coldly, "Founding Emperor Qin Ye may have the title of Celestial Venerable Qin, but he walks a path that defies the heavens. He established the Founding Emperor Celestial Heavens, colluded with Heaven Duke, schemed to overthrow the celestial heavens, and conspired to become the orthodox ruler of heaven and earth. Where is His Majesty? Where is the half-god? Where is the Celestial Venerable seated here?"

He took a step forward and said coldly, "Founding Emperor wants to revive the era under the rule of the ancient gods. He wants Heaven Duke and Earth Count to become the rulers of the various races! Heaven Duke is a cruel person. He allowed Mother Earth to cause trouble and slaughtered the celestial troops and generals of the celestial heavens. How many of the vassals are there? Heaven Duke is devoid of conscience and his crimes are unforgivable. Founding Emperor is in league with him, so he deserves to be executed!"

Qin Mu revealed a smile. Celestial Venerable Huo's words were the content of the denouncement of Heaven Duke. If Celestial Venerable Huo said it, he wouldn't have to bear the infamy of Heaven Duke.

Celestial Venerable Huo also knew that it wasn't appropriate. However, Founding Emperor had come to seize power, power, and the hearts of the people. He had to smear Founding Emperor's reputation.

If he didn't make a scene, Founding Emperor would steal the power of Celestial Venerables, steal the hearts of people, steal the general trend, and mix into the Heaven Alliance. This would cause many changes in the future.

The ten Celestial Venerables couldn't tolerate this!

Celestial Venerable Hong stood up, and his voice was as loud as a bell as he said, "Heaven Duke deserves to be executed for his crimes. Founding Emperor disregarded the righteousness of the world, and he deserves to be executed for his crimes. Furthermore, Founding Emperor has taken over the Great Void and joined forces with the masters of creation from prehistory. How cruel are the masters of creation? Founding Emperor's crimes are great and cannot be washed away!"

Qin Mu's expression changed, and he stood up to say sternly, "Qin Ye, you actually committed such a heinous crime. I thought so highly of you in vain, yet you let me down, letting down everyone in the world! I'm ashamed to be on the same level as you! However, speaking of which, your achievements, your achievements, your Dao, and your virtue are all very great, and your merits are counterproductive. As long as you lower your head and admit your mistakes, it's not unforgivable to sever ties with Heaven Duke…"

His voice was stern, but as he spoke, he had a smile on his face. He said to the nine Celestial Venerables, "Why don't we let Qin Ye toast everyone and make them laugh…"

"Hahahaha!"

Ancestral God King suddenly stood up and laughed at the sky. He said sternly, "Celestial Venerable Mu, Mother Earth didn't kill your people, so it's easy for you to be a good person. Your skin doesn't itch, your flesh doesn't ache, but my skin does! Mother Earth killed the elites under me, and Mother Earth was pampered by Heaven Duke. Celestial Venerable Qin is Heaven Duke's lackey. If you can tolerate him, I can't tolerate him!"

Qin Mu rubbed his hands and stomped his feet. "What should I do? What should I do? Today is the meeting of the Heaven Alliance, and even His Majesty Celestial Emperor has ordered us to be harmonious. How did it become like this? I'm still young and can't handle this. If another respectable chief of the Heaven Alliance descends and helps me solve this problem, that would be great…"

"Celestial Venerable Mu, there's no need to worry."

Suddenly, a clear and refreshing female voice rang out, and she said leisurely, "The five elders of the Heaven Alliance, Celestial Venerable Yue of the Nine Celestial Venerables of Dragon Han, are here to share Celestial Venerable Mu's burdens and solve his problems."

Qin Mu was overjoyed, and he was so excited that he choked on his tears. With tears in his eyes, he saw a woman walking over and stepping on the second celestial heavens.

As she walked, the zither notes rang out.

The zither notes were strange, and they actually merged with the Great Dao of everyone in the celestial palace. When the zither notes rang out, everyone's paths, skills, and divine arts burst forth with all kinds of Dao notes.

Qin Mu hurriedly said, "Celestial Venerable Yue, Dao Friend Yue, quickly come up and solve the problem in front of me. Ancestral God King, Celestial Venerable Hong, and Celestial Venerable Huo are going to be with Celestial Venerable Qin!"

Celestial Venerable Yue smiled and said, "I'm also one of the five founding elders who founded the Heaven Alliance. I'm one of the alliance masters of the Heaven Alliance, and I founded the Seven Stars Realm. It's just that I haven't appeared for a long time, so most of the people in the Heaven Alliance don't recognize me. Celestial Venerable Mu is in the main seat, and I only dare to be in the second seat like Celestial Venerable Qin."

Qin Mu hurriedly invited her to take a seat, and he choked with sobs. "I heard Dao brother was injured by a treacherous person and had hidden himself from the world. He had been looking for you all this time, but now Dao brother has finally appeared? Dao brother, your injuries have healed? Who has the kind heart to heal Dao brother?"
