Tales of Herding Gods
Chapter 1452: Heaven's Heart Is My Heart

In the Ancestral Court's Heavenly Sea, Founding Emperor gently walked on the sea surface of the Heavenly Sea. Only when his feet landed would the Heavenly Sea ripple.

"Heaven's Heart is my heart."

When he first came here and walked on the surface of the sea, waves suddenly rose and fell on the surface of the sea. This was the reaction of his Dao heart on the sea.

This kind of situation was as breathtaking as a dream. He could see the flaws in his Dao heart and the deficiencies that existed. These flaws and deficiencies would evolve into perilous waves. He would travel through these perilous waves to subdue the heart devils and nourish his Dao heart, making his Dao heart become purer.

Now that he was walking on the surface of the sea, there were no longer any waves, only ripples.

His Dao heart was calm and steady to a terrifying degree.

He stopped and stared at the surface of the sea. The surface of the sea was like a mirror, reflecting everything in Xuandu.

The battle in Xuandu was seen by him, and ripples appeared under his feet, which meant that his Dao heart wasn't calm.

"There's no time to go to Nine Hells Stage, I have to go to Xuandu."

Founding Emperor tidied up his clothes and looked at his appearance in the mirror before walking away.

Not long after he left, Celestial Venerable Hao's figure gradually came out of the void and materialized. His footsteps landed on the sea surface.

When his feet landed on the surface of the sea, waves surged, but he quickly regained his composure.

Celestial Venerable Hao retracted his gaze from Founding Emperor's direction and looked at the calm sea surface, observing the battle situation in Xuandu.

"It's time to head to Xuandu."

Celestial Venerable Hao revealed a smile. Behind him, the apparition of Goddess Tai Su appeared, leaving no reflection on the sea surface.

'True strong practitioners should be like Founding Emperor, they should be able to keep their composure.'

Celestial Venerable Hao walked over, and with a move of his feet, waves rose on the surface of the sea again. However, the waves weren't huge, and he passed through them as if they were nothing.

Even though his Dao heart wasn't as strong as Founding Emperor's, it wasn't weak either. If it was anyone else that came to the Heavenly Sea, the waves in his Dao heart would probably form a torrential storm, while he would only create waves!

Furthermore, as he moved, the waves gradually became lighter.

"This battle isn't just to get rid of Heaven Duke. It's also to get rid of a powerful enemy that can threaten your position among the ten Celestial Venerables."

Goddess Tai Su gradually dimmed behind him, but her voice was clearly transmitted into his ears. It was as if she was whispering in his ear, "Celestial Venerable Hong will no longer be a threat to you… Nephew, the waves you created on the sea were extremely light. It seems like your Dao heart isn't weaker than Founding Emperor's."

Celestial Venerable Hao walked towards the celestial river and said, "It's just that his Dao heart is stable, and he's slightly inferior to him. However, in the Dao Realm, he's much better than me. Founding Emperor pays attention to the Dao Realm, while I pay attention to strength. From now on, I will learn from him in the Dao Realm. My greatest strength is this."

He smiled and said leisurely, "Back then, I learned Celestial Venerable Yu's method to become a god and got rid of Celestial Venerable Yu. Today, I can also learn Founding Emperor's Dao Realm and get rid of him. My Dao heart is strong enough, so learning the Dao Realm isn't as difficult as I thought."

Tai Su's figure completely vanished as she asked softly, "In that case, how did you cultivate your Dao heart to this extent?"

"When I was at my most glorious moment, I suddenly fell to the bottom of the valley and lay on the sickbed for thousands of years."

Celestial Venerable Hao stopped in his tracks and tilted his head to recall the past. "In those thousands of years, I suffered countless eye rolls, countless ridicule, and even the people who followed me back then all left me, laughing at me and scolding me. After experiencing this great upheaval, my Dao heart became incomparably firm and steady."

His gaze revealed incomparably strong confidence and conviction, and he said loudly, "The reason why I laid on the sickbed for so long wasn't because of the injuries on my body, but because of the injuries on my Dao heart! When I got up from the sickbed, no one in this world would be able to defeat my Dao heart! From then on, I looked at the cold and the warm, and I saw through the so-called kinship, friendship, and love. From then on, I only lived for myself!"

"I got rid of one hindrance after another of my brothers and sisters, and even the crown prince was tricked by me and became Xie Wuqi!"

"I became the leader of the half-gods in one leap and formed the Dragon Heaven Celestial Heavens to rule over the half-gods of the world once again. Celestial Venerable Yun and I worked together to get rid of my father, who was high up in the sky and seemed to be impossible to defeat. I even took over the nest of the magpie, slowly encroaching on it and stealing the power of the Heaven Alliance!"

"In the past million years, father lost, Celestial Venerable Yun lost, Celestial Venerable Huo submitted, Celestial Venerable Yue lost, Celestial Venerable Ling lost, and my opponents became fewer."

The confidence and conviction in his eyes transformed into a smile. "Now, it's Founding Emperor's turn, and it's the turn of the ten Celestial Venerables! Celestial Venerable Hong is the first, followed by the Grand Emperor, and the Father God who has made a comeback!"

His Dao heart became more stable, and there were no ripples on the surface of the sea!

Tai Su slowly revealed his form and said softly, "In that case, what about the person who made you lie on the sickbed for a thousand years a million years and then made you fall from the peak to the dust again a million years later? The person who made you lose face in the Great Void?"

Her voice seemed to have a strange magical power. The muscles at the corners of Celestial Venerable Hao's eyes twitched. The calm sea suddenly became turbulent, and the waves rose!

Huge waves crashed into the sky, and the sky was covered in darkness. Lightning crackled, and it was as terrifying as hell!

Only after a long time did the phenomenon of the sky sea calm down.

Celestial Venerable Hao's fluttering clothes gradually calmed down. He didn't answer Tai Su's question and walked towards the celestial river.

The two great ups and downs in his life were all thanks to Qin Mu. Lying on the sickbed for over a thousand years was the sword wound and Dao heart injury that Qin Mu had inflicted on him.

Meeting the Grand Emperor in the Land of the Great Void and fighting him head-on was also Qin Mu's doing. Qin Mu even personally found him, who was recuperating and preparing to take another step forward. Not only did he ruin his plan to take another step forward, but he even chased him for 600,000 miles!

His face was completely wiped out in front of the army of Carefree Village!

He had to kneel down and lick Tai Su's feet to survive!

In order to rise again, he had no choice but to ask a tiger for its skin. He had no choice but to rely on Tai Su's power.

All of this was thanks to Qin Mu!

Only Qin Mu could make his Dao heart go into chaos!

Goddess Tai Su revealed a smile and slowly vanished.

In Xuandu, Celestial Venerable Huo stood on the Dao Fire Ancestral Land. The Dao fire burned furiously, burning the void and melting everything.

South Deity Zhu Que had such a powerful Dao fire in her hands, but she didn't know why. Only he could unleash the power of the Dao fire ancestral land to its maximum!

Standing on the Dao fire sacrificial altar, he seemed to be the ruler of heaven and earth. With the sacrificial altar as the center, the entire universe became the nine heavens of the sacrificial altar.

He could cut off layers of space with a finger, making Celestial Venerable Yue exhausted from dealing with him!

His dense magic power surpassed that of Celestial Venerable Yue. Now, he wasn't in a hurry to take Celestial Venerable Yue's life. Instead, he was wary of Celestial Venerable You and Divine King Lang, especially Divine King Lang, who posed a great threat to him.

Dao Fire Ancestor's land could distort space, but it couldn't. Divine King Lang's attack was coming from the void!

Furthermore, his more important target was Heaven Duke.

The death of Heaven Duke would be a great opportunity for him to divide his benefits. Whether he could take another step would depend on this!

Just as he was distracted by looking at Heaven Duke and guarding against Celestial Venerable Lang You, a divine knife came from the thirtieth void and struck his face ruthlessly, causing blood to splatter everywhere!

Celestial Venerable Huo was astonished. To him, the Dao Fire Ancestral Land was equivalent to an undefeatable place. Standing there, apart from the great improvement of his precelestial Dao fire, the Dao Fire Ancestral Land also allowed him to see through all attacks!

Except for the void.

Only the void couldn't be distorted and melted by the Dao fire.

This knife just had to come from the depths of the void and strike his face!

This knife was so ruthless that it almost cut through his face and into his head!

No one in this world dared to attack him from such a close distance because the power of the Dao Fire Ancestral Land was too strong. The blazing Dao fire that could incinerate everything was enough to melt everything. Even Celestial Venerable Yue couldn't get close.

Celestial Venerable Huo was furious. He saw the figures of Qin Mu and the rest in the void, and the flaming wheels behind his head spun. The huge flaming wheels sliced into the thirtieth void, and Dao flames blazed in the flaming wheels. The celestial palaces trembled and rumbled, and the projections of his primordial spirit appeared in the celestial palaces. They raised their hands, and terrifying divine arts were about to erupt, burning the five people in the void into ashes!

At that moment, Divine King Lang Lang's figure appeared behind Qin Mu and the rest. Celestial Venerable You's figure appeared behind Divine King Lang again. When the light shone, the projections of Celestial Venerable Huo's primordial spirits trembled violently. They were blown out of their celestial palaces by the light and their projections were obliterated!

Even his main primordial spirit was forced back repeatedly, retreating from the Emperor's Throne and flying out of the Numinous Sky Hall!

Knife light flashed and appeared on Dao Fire Ancestor's land. Qin Mu and the rest circled around Celestial Venerable Huo's tall and imposing body!

Celestial Venerable Huo raised his hand to defend, and Divine King Lang's consciousness rushed over. Celestial Venerable Huo was muddle-headed from the impact, and Celestial Venerable You's divine art came smashing over again. With a loud boom, his primordial spirit was blown out of his corporeal body and flew backward.

Chi! Chi! Chi!

His corporeal body was struck by hundreds of knives in an instant, and fresh blood flowed out!

Celestial Venerable You raised his hand and was about to send him from Xuandu into Youdu. Suddenly, a majestic consciousness rushed over, and layers of illusions appeared in front of Celestial Venerable You's eyes. He saw his mother walking towards him.

Celestial Venerable You's tears fell like rain, and he didn't continue.

At that moment, Divine King Lang Wo shouted, and Celestial Venerable You was instantly freed from the illusion. Looking up, his heart trembled. He saw Celestial Venerable Gong coming to Xuandu and looking at Divine King Lang.

The two women looked at each other. During this period of time, Qin Mu, Butcher, and the rest worked together. Five tiny figures surrounded Celestial Venerable Huo and attacked him repeatedly, causing him to be covered in injuries.

Celestial Venerable Huo's primordial spirit flew back, and Celestial Venerable Yue's zither notes suddenly rang out, teleporting his corporeal body out. Celestial Venerable Huo's eyes widened, and his primordial spirit hurriedly chased after his corporeal body.

The next moment, the space split open, and the Dao Fire Ancestor fell into the space that had split open. It was unknown where Celestial Venerable Yue had sent him.

At that moment, Celestial Venerable Gong smiled, and his consciousness burst forth towards Divine King Lang Wo. Divine King Lang Wo's consciousness rippled, and the consciousness divine arts of the two girls were about to collide!

Their consciousnesses contained boundless information. As long as their consciousnesses collided, they would be able to understand each other's thoughts without saying anything!

Qin Mu's figure appeared between the two of them, and his consciousness burst forth, transforming into a Great Overarching Heaven. He laughed loudly and said, "The two of you were born from the same roots, so why do you have to fight to the death?"
