Tales of Herding Gods
Chapter 1402: Fucking Grand Emperor

God Emperor Lang Xuan raised his Dao fruit high up and examined it over again. He was delighted and turned back to look at Qin Mu. He didn't seem to be that annoying anymore. Instead, he looked a little cute.

"Celestial Venerable Mu, work hard under me!"

He couldn't help but laugh. "I like to see you being a treacherous minister and having to suck up to me!"

Qin Mu kindly reminded him, "Divine Emperor, this Dao fruit contains the consciousness of a prehistoric strong practitioner, be careful of being possessed. If you can really extract the Great Dao of immortality from this Dao fruit, it's fine for me to be your vassal." After he said that, he laughed loudly.

Lang Xuan also laughed loudly and said, "Even though some of that prehistoric existence's consciousness is hidden in the Dao Fruit, as long as he doesn't stay in the Ultimate Void of our universe, I can do whatever I want to him. Without reaching the Ultimate Void, he's just a pushover."

Qin Mu saw that he was happy and took the chance to say, "Look, God Emperor, I'll help you repair the Jade Pool and restore the Jade Pool of the ancient primordial era. I'll also help you subdue the Dao Fruit here, allowing God Emperor to approach the final realm. In that case, can God Emperor's Jade Pool…"

"No." God Emperor Lang Xuan put away the Dao fruit and the smile on his face faded.

Qin Mu immediately said, "What I mean is, since I have made such a huge contribution, can Your Majesty allow the gods under me to come and comprehend the Great Dao of the Jade Pavilion?"

"I have to spend money."

God Emperor Lang Xuan said straightforwardly, "It's useless even if you call me Your Majesty. You extorted twenty percent of my primordial liquid. Just thinking about it makes my heart ache. If you want your people to enter the Jade Pavilion to comprehend, you will have to spend money."

Qin Mu said angrily, "Not giving any face at all?"

God Emperor Lang Xuan nodded with a smile and raised two fingers. "If you want your people to come to the Jade Pavilion to comprehend, return twenty percent of the primordial liquid to me."

Qin Mu gritted his teeth and raised a finger.

God Emperor Lang Xuan thought about it and said with a smile, "When you called me Your Majesty just now, it sounded pleasant to my ears. Forget it, I'll leave the other ten percent to you."

Qin Mu secretly let out a sigh of relief. Not to mention 10% of the primordial liquid, even if Lang Xuan wanted 20%, he would have given it to him.

The primordial liquid was a resource that could be replenished. Even though it was incomparably precious, in his eyes, it was still much inferior to the talents that were grooming Eternal Peace.

Talents were the most important.

'I wonder if Xu Shenghua and Lan Yutian have finished drawing the four great heavenly gates. I have to let them come. Not only do I have to comprehend the Jade Pool and cultivate my Dao heart, but I also have to draw out the entire Jade Pavilion!'

He thought to himself, 'Establishing the unity of Dao Realm and the system of celestial palaces will save me the trouble of looking at Lang Xuan's face.'

The two of them left the piece of the Great Overarching Heaven. Qin Mu immediately bade farewell and left. God Emperor Lang Xuan was in a hurry to refine the Dao fruit, so he didn't ask him to stay.

"If God Emperor Lang Xuan refines the Dao Fruit and obtains the knowledge from the previous universe era, he will probably become the strongest existence among the ten Celestial Venerables. However…"

Qin Mu left the Jade Pool and turned back to look at the Jade Pool. A smile appeared on his face. 'Dao fruits aren't that easy to refine, and so what if I do? I still have to cultivate step by step, right? If I just take other people's Dao fruits and make them mine, I'll be no different from the Grand Emperor.'

His heart was calm and composed.

God Emperor Lang Xuan's increase in strength was a good thing. Among the ten Celestial Venerables, Celestial Venerable Hao, Heavenly Lady Qiang, and Celestial Venerable Xiao had the highest chance of winning. Now that God Emperor Lang Xuan was here, the ten Celestial Venerables' situation would become more complicated.

'If Heaven Duke dies, Celestial Venerable Hong will receive the greatest benefits, and Celestial Venerable Hong will probably be added.'

Qin Mu raised his head and looked at the sky of the ancestral court. Heaven Duke must be looking at the ancestral court now, right?

Yet Heaven Duke didn't come to see him.

He retracted his gaze and thought to himself, 'I have thrown Celestial Venerable Hong's Dao heart into the Nine Hells. If Celestial Venerable Hong breaks through my Nine Hells Heart Lock, even though he will still have his own desires, he will be more compatible with the heaven's heart, conforming to the Heavenly Dao, maintaining a portion of the heart of the Heavenly Dao. Even if Heaven Duke dies, we will still be people of the same path. If Celestial Venerable Hong can't break through the Nine Hells Heart Lock…'

The corners of Qin Mu's eyes twitched. "In that case, when Heaven Duke died, the one who benefited the most wouldn't be Celestial Venerable Hong! At that time, he might not be able to win against Ancestral God King! At that time, the ten Celestial Venerables' muddy waters would include Ancestral God King and Celestial Venerable Hong!"

He no longer held any hope for Heaven Duke.

Heaven Duke must die.

In the meeting of the Heaven Alliance, once the denouncement of Heaven Duke was issued, he was destined to die.

There was still room for negotiation before meeting Heaven Duke, but there was no need for that now.

He had locked down Celestial Venerable Hong's Dao heart to prepare for the worst. He couldn't let the ambitious Celestial Venerable Hong obtain all of Heaven Duke's power and steal the Heavenly Dao for his own!

The Heavenly Dao was selfless, and Celestial Venerable Hong stealing the Heavenly Dao was the greatest betrayal to the Heavenly Dao!

'Tai Yi said that if Heaven's Guild succeeds, they will break free from the restraints of the Heavenly Dao. What does that mean?' He frowned in thought.

Suddenly, another intense light shot into the sky. Qin Mu walked forward and saw that it was Heavenly Lady Qiang's territory. Another Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge was constructed, and the Daoists of the celestial heavens' Dao Sect were packing up and heading to another location.

Numerous ships of the celestial heavens flew out from the new Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge, which was filled with the gods, devils, and divine arts practitioners under Heavenly Lady Qiang. They moved to the ancestral court through the bridge.

These ships flew around in search of suitable settlements.

Qin Mu looked at the sky. There were already three Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridges that were connected to the celestial heavens. When all the Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridges were constructed, they could pull the celestial heavens into the ancestral court!

The celestial heavens originally resided in the sky above the Primordial Realm. However, after flying out of the Primordial Realm and returning to the ancestral court, Qin Mu was filled with emotions.

"Divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu!"

Qin Mu's heart leaped, and he suddenly saw a divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu walk out from the Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge. The divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu was tall and imposing. He looked at Heavenly Lady Qiang's territory from afar and sneered.

'This should be Mistress Yuanmu's divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu, right?'

Qin Mu's gaze flickered. The most eye-catching sacred ground in front of the ancestral court had already been taken away by the Celestial Venerables. There weren't many treasure grounds left for Mistress Yuanmu.

Could it be that Mistress Yuanmu's divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu had come out to create trouble and steal the territory from the other Celestial Venerables?

"Could Mistress Yuanmu be interested in the Grand Emperor's territory?"

Unexpectedly, the divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu didn't attack Heavenly Lady Qiang's territory. Instead, he rose into the air. The moment she flew up, a abyss of the Ruins of End suddenly appeared in the sky and swallowed the divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu!

"Sneaking around, that little wench Yuanmu must be up to something again!"

Qin Mu became excited, and the eye in the heart of his brows opened up. He looked into the void and observed the movements of the divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu.

At that moment, he suddenly saw a figure rush into the sky from Heavenly Lady Qiang's territory. However, it didn't cause any ripples or emanate any aura. Instead, it quietly entered the void and chased after the divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu.

'It's that little sissy of the Grand Emperor… Bah! It's that little sissy of Heavenly Lady Qiang!'

Qin Mu was even more excited. Heavenly Lady Qiang was the reincarnation of the Grand Emperor. She had also discovered Mistress Yuanmu and was tracking her!

He looked at Heavenly Lady Qiang's territory. It was the Ancestral Court's God Execution Stage, and the baleful aura was extremely heavy. It could be said to be the place with the most baleful aura in the entire universe. Looking from afar, two baleful auras soared into the sky and intertwined with each other. They were even larger than the largest tornado in the world!

The two baleful auras were blood red and incomparably sharp. Qin Mu took a glance from afar and shuddered involuntarily.

'How did the blood fiends on God Execution Stage form? Why are the baleful auras so heavy?'

He wanted to go in and experience the God Execution Stage, but just outside Heavenly Lady Qiang's territory, he felt that the blood aura seemed to be a threat to the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. When he came here, he felt that the Great Dao runes in his body were shattering into two!

'The Ancestral Court's God Execution Stage can't be that strong!' Qin Mu shuddered.

His primordial spirit also felt an incomparably sharp power invading him like countless extremely sharp knives that could slash down at any moment!

What was even more terrifying was that the God Execution Stage severed the Dao heart!

The God Execution Stage of the celestial heavens was a place to slay gods. It could slay the corporeal body and primordial spirit of gods that defied them, but it didn't sever the Dao heart.

Luo Wushuang was known as the number one divine knife of the celestial heavens because his knife skills were outstanding. After stepping into the Dao Realm, he entered the celestial heavens' God Execution Stage with a knife each. In the end, he relied on his knife path to leave the God Execution Stage safely.

However, Qin Mu suspected that if Luo Wushuang had gone to the God Execution Stage of the Ancestral Court, he might not have been able to pass the test of Dao heart.

Although Luo Wushuang's Dao heart was strong, he had yet to cultivate to the height of the twenty-four heavens of the Dao Realm.

'The power of God Execution Stage is no small matter! It can't sever my Dao heart, but it might sever my corporeal body or primordial spirit.'

Qin Mu retracted his gaze, and there were actually two blood-colored knife lights dancing in his eyes. They were only extinguished by him after a moment.

'This God Execution Stage should be formed by absorbing the baleful qi in the world. Its power is too strong. It must have killed abnormally strong existences from the primordial era and absorbed too much blood!'

He had originally planned to pass through the God Execution Stage after cultivating the Jade Pavilion and cultivate the God Execution Stage. He would then be a great expert of the Nine Hells Stage and would be able to find the Jade Capital City. After all, he had already passed the stage of the prison's Dao heart and walked out of the Nine Hells Stage alive.

However, he had underestimated the God Execution Stage of the ancestral court.

The Four Heavenly Gates, Jade Pavilion, Nine Hells Stage, and other places didn't know how to grow by themselves. However, the God Execution Stage could actually grow by itself!

In the ancient primordial era, there must have been leaders of the masters of creation who had sent prisoners of war or traitors here to be beheaded on the God Execution Stage. Their fresh blood had fed the God Execution Stage to become stronger. Even though it was the fourth realm of the Celestial Palace Realm, its power could kill a few strong practitioners on Emperor's Throne as easily as chopping melons and vegetables!

The danger level of this God Execution Stage far surpassed that of the Nine Hells Stage!

"Fucking Grand Emperor, you agreed to let me enter the God Execution Stage to train. You really have bad intentions!" Qin Mu scolded.

With his current abilities, he could only contend with existences on the Emperor's Throne Realm. However, he relied on the marvel of divine arts. He was proficient in all kinds of unpopular paths, skills, and divine arts, such as the Dao of Tai Yi, the Dao of Taiji, the Dao of Tai Shi, the Dao of Tai Su, and Celestial Venerable Ling's unchanging divine arts.

His corporeal body and magic power weren't strong enough to be on par with strong practitioners on Emperor's Throne, and his primordial spirit wasn't strong enough.

The Grand Emperor had allowed him to enter the God Execution Stage to train. He clearly wanted to use the power of the God Execution Stage to cut him down!

"F*cking Grand Emperor!"

Qin Mu cursed again and suddenly executed the Life of the Ruins of End. However, he only executed half a move when the abyss of the Ruins of End appeared. He walked into the abyss and vanished.

"Yuanmu, Grand Emperor, I want to see what you guys are up to!"

After a long time, Qin Mu's third eye looked around, and he finally found Heavenly Lady Qiang. She had followed Mistress Yuanmu's divine weapon, Celestial Venerable Yu, into a black desert.

Qin Mu looked around and was bewildered. 'This should be the taiji star field belonging to the taiji mine. What is Mistress Yuanmu doing here?'

At this moment, he saw the divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu.

The divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu was hiding in the Ruins of End divine art, hiding in the void. Qin Mu was puzzled. 'This little hussy Yuanmu seems to be tracking someone…'

At this moment, he saw a peerless beauty strolling in the black sand desert towards the taiji mine.

Jue Wuchen!

"It's Celestial Empress!"

Qin Mu was also hidden in the Ruins of End divine art, and his pupils contracted slightly. He was the one who had given Jue Wuchen to Heavenly Lady Yan. Back then, in order to trade for the output of the Grand Prime Mine, he had traded both Celestial Empress' corporeal body and Jue Wuchen to Heavenly Lady Yan.

Now, Celestial Empress had entered Jue Wuchen's corporeal body to meet the ancient gods in the taiji mine!
