Tales of Herding Gods
Chapter 1497: Holding And Putting Down

In Qin Mu's palm, the ancestral court slowly rotated. The four great heavenly gates were on the front and back of the ancestral court. Different heavenly gates contained different principles and different comprehension of the path.

He spread out all the comprehensions he had experienced from the four great heavenly gates. The sound of the Great Dao was so pleasant to listen to that it shook the hearts of people, making Emperor Yanfeng intoxicated.

As for Jiang Baigui, it was as if he was struck by the Dao voice. As he looked at the four heavenly gates, he suddenly had a feeling of gloominess covering the sky. It was as if the clouds and fog had been parted, and he was suddenly enlightened!

These four heavenly gates were like four incomparably stable foundations that carried the immense power of the celestial heavens and his Dao heart!

With these four heavenly gates, the celestial palace would be stabilized, and the celestial heavens would be stabilized. There would no longer be any worries of capsizing!

"Junior brother, the battle experience you have accumulated here is enough, but you are still lagging behind by staying in Carefree Village and not coming into contact with the outside world."

Qin Mu's heart stirred, and incomparably exquisite scenery appeared in the ancestral court in his palm again. The Great Dao passed through and formed the Jade Pavilion, the primordial liquid, and the Jade Sea!

Jiang Baigui immediately saw the difference between the Jade Pavilion and the Jade Sea of other gods and devils. He couldn't help but be mesmerized by it. The logic behind it made him want to make a pilgrimage!

"The Jade Pavilion's Jade Sea is the same as the four great heavenly gates. It contains extraordinary principles and is a marvelous sight in the ancestral court. It's also a natural sacred ground of the Dao Realm."

In the ancestral court in Qin Mu's palm, the sky sea that reflected the hearts of heaven appeared, followed by the God Execution Stage of the ancestral court, the Nine Hells Stage of the ancestral court.

He slowly revealed realms to Jiang Baigui, and finally, there were the five precelestials, the five great mines, the chaos rising and falling, the Grand Primordium Qi, the Grand Primordium Green Destiny, the Grand Primordium Formless Transformation, and the Taiji Transformation.

This was a marvel.

"Junior Brother, there's actually nothing wrong with the path of the thirty-six celestial palaces and seventy-two throne halls. It's just that your realm is wrong, so it's hard for you to take another step forward."

Qin Mu's gaze landed on Jiang Baigui's white hair, and his gaze moved from his white hair to his aged face. He said solemnly, "The saint that was invincible back then had a Dao heart that was as deep as an abyss and as vast as the sea. Now, a mere setback has defeated his Dao heart?"

"No."

Jiang Baigui slowly got up and took off the official uniform of Carefree Village's Founding Emperor Celestial Heavens. He threw away his ribbon seal and changed into his usual attire before walking out.

He took a step forward, and the wrinkles on his face vanished one after another. His white hair returned to black, and his tone returned to its usual elegance and indifference when he was Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor. "I'm going to the ancestral court to find my own path."

Emperor Yanfeng saw the situation and hurriedly followed after him. "Imperial Preceptor, wait for me! Minister Qin, go find Celestial Venerable Yue yourself. I'll accompany Imperial Preceptor to the ancestral court! His cultivation is low now, so he can't be taken care of!"

Qin Mu's consciousness rippled, and he told the two of them the truth about the Jade Capital City of the ancestral court. Jiang Baigui and Emperor Yanfeng's hearts trembled violently. They cupped their hands and left together.

"When a monarch and subject meet, they become Dao friends. These two people are truly enviable."

Granny Si saw them off and exclaimed in admiration, "It was Jiang Baigui who became Emperor Yanfeng, and it was also Emperor Yanfeng who became Jiang Baigui. The two of them supported each other, and it wasn't easy for them to come this far."

Qin Mu nodded silently. Suddenly, his consciousness burst forth and connected with the Ancestor Spirit World that shrouded the entire Paramita Void. After a moment, Qin Mu said, "The masters of creation of the Paramita Void already know I'm here. They will inform Celestial Venerable Yue and the rest to hurry over. We'll wait here."

Granny Si smiled. "I heard that you are the holy infant of the masters of creation? What's going on, can you tell me in detail?"

Qin Mu had actually told her about this before, but she was still worried that Qin Mu wouldn't be able to walk out from his sorrows, so she brought it up again to prevent him from thinking about Cripple.

Granny Si was usually a careless person, but when she was meticulous, she was incomparably considerate.

The two of them stayed in Jiang Baigui's manor. The next night, Celestial Venerable Yue arrived.

Qin Mu couldn't be bothered to exchange pleasantries with her and went straight to the point. "Yue, is the Dao Fire of the Ancestral Court still with you? I have urgent use for it."

Celestial Venerable Yue looked at Granny Si and was astonished by the beauty of this woman. After a while, she came back to her senses and said with a smile, "In the battle of Xuandu, I snatched the Dao Fire of the Ancestral Court and sent it to Youdu. Later on, I was worried that Celestial Venerable Huo would find it in Youdu, so I hid the Dao Fire of the Ancestral Court in Carefree Village. Do you see that brightest star?"

She raised her hand to point at the sky, and only then did Qin Mu notice that there was an extremely bright star in the void of the Paramita World with a halo surrounding it.

From afar, it looked like an ordinary star, but when Qin Mu used the eye in the heart of his brows to look, he realized that it was the Dao Fire of the Ancestral Court. The rings of light should be the nine heavens of the Dao fire.

"That's the Dao Fire of the Ancestral Court."

Celestial Venerable Yue said, "Celestial Venerable Huo can't subdue Carefree Village in a short period of time, so he's hiding here. If you're in a hurry to use it, I'll bring it to you."

"Thanks for the trouble." Qin Mu thanked him.

Celestial Venerable Yue rebuked, "Why are you being so polite? Wait a moment, I'll go get it."

She got up and left in a hurry. When dawn broke, Celestial Venerable Yue brought the Dao Fire Ancestral Land and rushed over in a hurry. Qin Mu and Granny Si hurriedly welcomed her and came out of the city.

Celestial Venerable Yue didn't enter the city. Instead, she placed the Dao Fire Ancestral Land outside the city. She was currently using her space divine art to shrink the Dao Fire Ancestral Land, hiding it in the space for Qin Mu to carry around.

"This lady is meticulous." Granny Si praised in her heart.

At this moment, an imperial carriage drove over, and a pleasant voice came from it. The imperial carriage stopped, and a maid opened the bead curtains. Divine King Lang Wo walked out.

Granny Si and Divine King Lang Wo had seen each other before. Now that they met again, they couldn't help but be shocked by her beauty. Emperor Yanfeng was right. Granny Si was a beauty that carried the beauty of the human world, but Divine King Lang Wo was different. She had a cold and aloof aura, like the beauty of a god. She gave people a sacred and solemn feeling that was hard to get close to.

Celestial Venerable Yue had just finished dealing with the Dao Fire of the Ancestral Court when she saw Divine King Lang Wo. She smiled and said, "Why are you so late, Divine King? You were the one who informed me that Celestial Venerable Mu is here to see me. I didn't expect you to be late."

Divine King Lang Wo said softly, "I need to bathe and change my clothes. Prepare the carriage, it will take some time. I have to be solemn to meet Celestial Venerable Mu."

She paid her respects to Qin Mu and Granny Si and said, "Celestial Venerable ordered people to deliver the Tai Chu Origin Liquid, so I have nothing to worry about. I'm very grateful."

Celestial Venerable Yue smiled and said, "You always have these unnecessary formalities. Celestial Venerable Mu, I made the Dao Fire Ancestor smaller. This ancestral land restricts my Dao of Space to this extent. You can just take it away. I can't help you with the rest."

Divine King Lang Wo said, "The Dao Fire Ancestral Land requires a deep understanding of the path of fire, but it can also use consciousness to activate the power of the Dao fire. Back then, when the masters of creation sacrificed South Deity Vermillion Bird, they relied on consciousness to activate the power of the nine heavens of the ancestral land."

She guided Qin Mu attentively and said, "Try entering the ancestral land and you will know how to use consciousness to execute the Dao fire."

Qin Mu gave his thanks and boarded the Dao Fire Ancestral Land. He entered the nine heavens and took out a divine weapon of the strong practitioners of the past universe. He tried to use his consciousness to activate the Dao fire to smelt it.

Whether the Dao Fire Ancestral Land could be smelted was merely his guess. He needed to verify it now. If it didn't work, he still needed to find other methods.

Beside the ancestral land, Granny Si chatted with Celestial Venerable Yue and Divine King Lang Wo. The two girls knew that she was Qin Mu's parent, so they didn't neglect her words.

Granny Si talked about her worries about Qin Mu, and the two girls looked at each other. Divine King Lang Wo said, "Celestial Venerable Mu is a man of great wisdom. Daoist Si, don't worry. He will naturally walk out of this in the future."

Celestial Venerable Yue said, "I feel that we shouldn't let him idle. When he's free, his thoughts will run wild. Even if there's nothing wrong with him, he can still think of something."

Granny Si acknowledged and examined the two women, coming to a conclusion.

After a moment, Qin Mu walked out from Dao Fire Ancestor's land, and the three of them went forward to welcome him. Granny Si revealed a look of inquiry, and Qin Mu said, "I can melt those divine weapons, but I need to use my consciousness to control the Dao fire. However, at the same time, I have to forge my divine sword, so it's a little strenuous for me."

Granny Si smiled and said, "Leave this matter to Mute, you can order him around like a livestock! Ladies, we won't disturb you anymore, we have to return to the ancestral court immediately!"

Celestial Venerable Yue hurriedly said, "Leaving so soon after arriving? Since you guys have matters to attend to, I won't make you stay. Celestial Venerable Mu, let me ask you something!"

Qin Mu stopped.

Celestial Venerable Yue hesitated for a moment before asking her own question, "How long do you think the Paramita Void can last?"

Divine King Lang Wo's heart jumped. She had the same question in her heart, but she was full of worries. She wasn't as straightforward as Celestial Venerable Yue, so she didn't ask.

Qin Mu muttered to himself for a moment and said, "After Earth Count dies, the Paramita Void will be broken. The surging momentum will be unstoppable. A mere Void Bridge with thirty-five layers shattering the void won't be able to block the ten Celestial Venerables."

The hearts of the two girls trembled.

Divine King Lang Wo asked, "In that case, Celestial Venerable Mu, how should the soldiers in the Paramita Void survive?"

Qin Mu took a look at Celestial Venerable Yue and said calmly, "With Celestial Venerable Yue here, you will have a path of retreat."

Divine King Lang Wo let out a sigh of relief and smiled. "Send out the holy infant."

Qin Mu put the Dao Fire Ancestor's land into his divine treasures and left. Granny Si followed him and asked with a smile, "Mu'er, which one do you think is better?"

Qin Mu felt a headache and asked guiltily, "Which one do you think is better, granny?"

"In terms of looks, it's naturally Divine King Lang Wo. Her beauty is unmatched."

Granny Si said, "However, if we are talking about being a wife, she is far inferior to Celestial Venerable Yue. Divine King Lang Wo is a cold and aloof woman. Her attitude is upright, but Celestial Venerable Yue is very calm. She is the one who holds the family."

Qin Mu couldn't help being curious. "What do you mean by holding the family?"

"Take Divine King Lang Wo for example. She's not down to earth. She's graceful and elegant, but she's a thousand miles away from people. When she comes to see you, she has to bathe and change her clothes. She has to tidy up her attire. There's an imperial carriage and maids to serve her. She's solemn, but she's not someone who spends her days."

Granny Si said, "However, when Celestial Venerable Yue heard that you were here, she came running over in a hurry. Even though she also had makeup on, she didn't deliberately fix it. She also didn't have any followers around her, and she also didn't ride the carriage. When you said you wanted the Dao Fire Ancestral Land, this lady immediately went to pluck it down. She was also meticulous and knew that the Dao Fire Ancestral Land was too big for her to carry, so she helped you refine it a little smaller. This is a woman who holds the family."

Qin Mu was full of admiration. Wedding romance actually had such knowledge. It could almost be considered a Great Dao. No wonder there was a hall in the three hundred and sixty halls of Heavenly Saint Cult called the matchmaking hall.

"With Lang Wo as a wife, she would naturally have a good reputation if she went out to receive guests and hosted a banquet. You wouldn't be able to find any fault with her behavior in front of others. She's naturally suitable to be a Celestial Empress."

Granny Si continued to say, "However, it's still Celestial Venerable Yue who is better at controlling the family's life and managing everything. Mu'er, what do you think? Are you going to marry a Celestial Empress or a wife?"

What she meant was to ask about Qin Mu's future plans. Marrying a Celestial Empress meant that Qin Mu would become the emperor. Marrying a wife would mean that Qin Mu's ambition wasn't in the throne.

Qin Mu humbly asked for advice, "Granny, what kind of woman is she? She's usually carefree, sloppy, and spends a lot of money. She never knows how to settle accounts, and she's also a little careless when taking care of her children. Furthermore, she's always vulgar and calls me all kinds of things. When she's seductive, she can seduce the souls of everyone in the world. When she's shrewish, she can hang people up and beat them up. Can this woman marry anyone?"

Granny Si's face instantly turned black, and she picked up the Tai Yi crutch. She smacked his head down and shouted, "I'm serious with you, yet you are laughing at me. I'll break your legs and let you crawl on the ground with a bloody trail!"

Qin Mu hugged his head and escaped. Granny Si chased after him and gave him a good beating. She was just short of hanging him up to beat him up.
