Tales of Herding Gods
Chapter 1536: Helping You Achieve The Dao

In order to make the Dao pattern formations on the cliff look as profound as possible, Qin Mu used the primordial qi runes as the core and supplemented it with the five transformations. He then mixed the Dao markings of all kinds of Great Dao.

His foundation was lacking, so he copied many parts of the master of Miluo Palace's Dao markings and changed them to confuse the eyes and ears of these nine people.

However, even so, Celestial Venerable Hao, Celestial Venerable Xiao, and the rest had also reached an extremely deep realm in just one night.

Qin Mu carefully sorted out the comprehensions of the seven Celestial Venerables and two ancient gods, and he realized that each of them had their own specialties.

Celestial Venerable Xu had already found the threshold for the path of the devil path to change to the Dao of taiji. Ancestral God King had also found the boundary of the path of heaven to change to the Dao of taiji, which was a great enlightenment for Qin Mu.

God Emperor Lang Xuan, on the other hand, saw the Dao of Tai Yi from the Dao Pattern Array and left behind many of his own insights. Some of his insights were something that even Qin Mu hadn't comprehended, displaying extraordinary aptitude and comprehension.

What the Ancient Yang God comprehended was the Dao of Taiji, and he even came into contact with the Dao of Taiji Fission, Reverse Push, and Transcendence. From there, he comprehended the Dao of Tai Su to go against Tai Chu.

The direction that Celestial Venerable Xiao figured out was a combination of consciousness and primordial chaos, as well as sporadic swaps of the Tai Chu.

Celestial Venerable Hao had also reached this step.

"The intelligence of these nine people is extraordinary, and they were able to comprehend so many things in one night. I'm afraid they are still hiding something. What they imparted to Jiang Yunjian is just an unimportant part, hiding what they think is the most important part."

Qin Mu couldn't help exclaiming in admiration, "I really want to imprison them here and let them comprehend day and night, helping me deduce all the secrets of the Dao markings of Miluo Palace."

Even though the seven Celestial Venerables and the two ancient gods hid their knowledge and didn't impart what they comprehended to Jiang Yunjian, they still gave Qin Mu great enlightenment, allowing him to comprehend even more things.

Qin Mu was about to calm his heart down and tidy it up carefully when Jiang Yunjian rushed over with a flustered expression. He said hurriedly, "Godfather, Celestial Venerable Xiao is back again!"

Qin Mu's expression changed slightly. Jiang Yunjian took out a piece of paper and said, "Celestial Venerable Xiao asked me to give this painting to Tai Yi!"

Qin Mu took it over and saw a golden ship drawn on the paper.

"He still gave himself away."

Qin Mu took in a deep breath. In order to show the authority of Tai Yi so that these people wouldn't dare to doubt him, he had moved down a golden hall on the World Crossing Gold Ship as Tai Yi's palace.

There was chaos qi in the golden hall that could blind the divine eyes of Celestial Venerable Xiao, Celestial Venerable Hao, and the rest, preventing them from seeing Qin Mu's appearance clearly. From there, they wouldn't be able to discover that Tai Yi was transformed by Qin Mu.

However, the only flaw was that the Ancient Yang God had once boarded the golden ship!

Come to think of it, the foot of the horse was here.

"Who else is beside Celestial Venerable Xiao?" he asked.

Jiang Yunjian said, "There's no one else, only Celestial Venerable Xiao."

Qin Mu's eyes sparkled, and he said solemnly, "Yunjian, invite him here!"

Jiang Yunjian was astonished and whispered, "Godfather…"

"Go! I have my own plans."

Jiang Yunjian could only leave in a hurry.

Not long later, Celestial Venerable Xiao walked over to Qin Mu and raised his head to look at the stone carvings on the cliff. After a moment, he said with a smile, "Celestial Venerable Mu was so scary last night. His words were so cajoling that he almost tricked me. It's even more brilliant than the deception of taiji. In that case, Tai Yi isn't here."

Qin Mu said leisurely, "Tai Yi is elusive, and even I don't know where he is, so I could only use this method. Did I scare Dao brother?"

"Not bad, not bad."

Celestial Venerable Xiao smiled and said leisurely, "Actually, Tai Yi encountered danger, right? He might even be dead!"

Qin Mu raised his eyebrows.

"If Tai Yi is safe and sound, there's no need for you to go through so much trouble and even risk being seen through by us. All you need to do is tell us that Tai Yi isn't around, and we won't be able to do anything to you. We won't dare to touch you because of Tai Yi who has achieved the Dao."

Celestial Venerable Xiao smiled and said, "It's precisely because Tai Yi has encountered unimaginable dangers and could even die that you didn't hesitate to take such a huge risk to disguise yourself as Tai Yi! Your goal isn't to satisfy your cravings, but to protect this sacred ground and Eternal Peace. I can help you keep the secret."

Qin Mu smiled and said, "But there's a price to pay."

Celestial Venerable Xiao said with a smile, "Anything good in this world has to pay a price. Back then, when I helped you protect Eternal Peace, you also paid a price. It's the same now. Celestial Venerable Mu, you can never escape from my grasp."

Qin Mu snorted coldly and didn't say anything.

"You can save Celestial Venerable Ling, but we need to work together."

Celestial Venerable Xiao said plainly, "When you saved Celestial Venerable Ling, it was when the Grand Emperor died, and it was also when I took back my corporeal body. Do you understand this?"

Qin Mu nodded his head slowly. "I understand."

Celestial Venerable Xiao said with a smile, "I have my tolerance. No matter if it's you, Founding Emperor, Celestial Venerable Yue, or Celestial Venerable Ling, I can tolerate all of you. I can even grant you power and status. As long as you don't reform or try to resist, Celestial Venerable Huo will do very well. Do you understand?"

Qin Mu said, "I understand, Founding Emperor will also understand."

Celestial Venerable Xiao smiled. "On the day of success, I won't mistreat you."

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."

Celestial Venerable Xiao laughed loudly and turned to leave. He said leisurely, "During the Eternal Peace Calamity, you couldn't defeat me, and it's the same now. When you're preparing to rescue Celestial Venerable Ling, inform me in advance to stop acting on your own. I won't give you a second chance."

"Farewell, Your Majesty."

Qin Mu saw him off and revealed a smile. He said in a low voice, "With Celestial Venerable Xiao's help, saving Celestial Venerable Ling is safe. Rescuing Celestial Venerable Yun is also safe."

He let out a long sigh of relief. He had never felt so relaxed before.

"Celestial Venerable Xiao, it's not that you are old, but I have grown up."

The smile on his face grew wider, and he said in a low voice, "In the past, I was weak and easy to be controlled by you, but now I've grown to the point where I can be your equal. You want to control me, but it's a pity you can't do it anymore. Be careful of cutting yourself."

Ancient Yang God was waiting outside the Hundred Thousand Holy Mountains. Not long later, Celestial Venerable Xiao walked out of the mountain, and Ancient God Sun hurriedly went forward to welcome him. He asked in a low voice, "Dao Brother, how was your discussion with Celestial Venerable Mu?"

"It went very smoothly."

Celestial Venerable Xiao smiled and said, "Celestial Venerable Mu is very tactful, and he has no choice but to be tactful. His biggest backer has already fallen, and he can only rely on me in this world. He's still ambitious, so he will definitely make a move when rescuing Celestial Venerable Ling. However, I will let him know that any action he makes is futile."

He revealed a strong confidence, as if the Celestial Emperor Tai Chu, who had unified the world and controlled the universe, had returned. "When I took back my corporeal body, swallowed the Grand Emperor's primordial spirit, and fought my way to the ultimate void to swallow the Grand Emperor's Dao Tree, I was the strongest existence in this world, an invincible existence! Even if all the Celestial Venerables joined forces, including Celestial Venerable Qin, Celestial Venerable Mu, Celestial Venerable Yue, and Celestial Venerable Ling, none of them would be my match!"

Ancient God Sun let out a sigh of relief and smiled. "Then congratulations to Dao Brother in advance."

Celestial Venerable Xiao laughed. "When I destroy the Paramita Void and all the masters of creation, achieving the Dao will be easy for me! At that time, the two of you can also achieve the Dao!"

The Ancient Yang God revealed a look of longing.

In the sacred mountain, Qin Mu was still comprehending the Dao markings of the master of Miluo Palace. His mind was focused on them, and the more he studied them, the more awe he felt. The master of Miluo Palace was too talented.

With just this Dao pattern, he was worthy of being the number one person in the 17 universes!

However, it was still difficult for Qin Mu to comprehend the transformation of the Dao pattern in a short period of time. He could only make the power of his Primordial Finger stronger.

He got up and came to the World Crossing Gold Ship. Blind, Granny Si, and the rest were still entering and exiting the ship, searching for every golden hall.

"Mu'er, there are many secrets on this ship."

Granny Si saw him coming and immediately said, "We can see the owner of this ship from time to time! When we were exploring the golden hall, we would meet him from time to time!"

Qin Mu said, "This ship was forged by the master of Miluo Palace to redeem the world. He had poured in too much blood, sweat, and tears on the ship, so his figure is imprinted on the ship. Occasionally, there will be echoes of history."

Granny Si shook her head and said, "Sometimes, it doesn't seem like an echo of history. Occasionally, we will see the true master of Miluo Palace, and we even talked to him before!"

Qin Mu was astonished and shook his head. "The master of Miluo Palace is already dead. What you guys have met is definitely the final moments of history. As for talking to him, it's most likely this ship playing tricks. This ship has a spirit."

Blind had a grim expression as he said, "Mu'er, this ship is indeed strange. What we have seen is definitely not an echo of history. It must be the true master of Miro Palace! Let me bring you to take a look!"

Qin Mu shook his head and laughed, following his footsteps. Blind pushed open the door of a huge hall and said, "We met the master of Miluo Palace here, and he even guided us in cultivation… Eh!"

He revealed a bewildered expression and saw that the interior of the hall was empty. There was no one there.

Blind was bewildered and said, "There were people here earlier! Many people saw it!"

Granny Si, Wei Suifeng, Prince You Ming, and the rest nodded in unison. "We all saw it!"

Qin Mu said with a smile, "Your cultivation is shallow. It's probably because the master of Miluo Palace is too strong and the imprints are too realistic that they affected you, making you treat the flashbacks of history as reality. There's no need to make a fuss. When you guys cultivate to my level, you will be able to see through everything."

Everyone was furious, but there was nothing they could do.

Now, Qin Mu indeed had the right to say that their cultivation was shallow.

Qin Mu sent them off the ship, but the golden ship refused to let them off no matter what. Qin Mu tried his best to persuade them and whispered to the golden ship. After persuading them for a long time, he finally convinced the ship to let them off.

Everyone looked at each other when they saw him muttering to the ship non-stop.

"The pressure on Mu'er is too great, he must have gone crazy."

Granny Si's heart ached, "It's time for him to find a companion…"

Qin Mu sent everyone out of the golden ship and rode it away from the hundred thousand sacred mountains. He thought to himself, 'Is the imprint of the master of Miluo Palace really so strong that it could make an Emperor's Throne Realm existence like Wei Suifeng and Prince You Ming to make a mistake? Hmm, their eyesight is far inferior to mine, so they probably can't differentiate between real and fake…'

As the World Crossing Golden Ship sailed out of the sacred mountain, Qin Mu suddenly saw a figure flashing past one of the golden halls, and his heart jumped.

"Is it an imprint?"

His heart pounded as he went to search, but he couldn't find it.

'Ignore him, I'll go to Carefree Village to meet Founding Emperor and Celestial Venerable Yue first!'

Two months later, the golden ship came to Carefree Village. Along the way, Qin Mu indeed discovered that he wasn't the only one on the ship. He saw other figures flashing by from time to time.

However, when he went to look for it, he couldn't find it.

This figure was like the apparition of the Feathered Forest Guards on the ghost ship. When he looked at it, it would turn into nothingness. Even if he executed unchanging substance divine art, he couldn't freeze that figure.

Founding Emperor came forward to welcome him, and Qin Mu abandoned his distracting thoughts. He went forward and smiled. "Founding Emperor, let me help you achieve the Dao!"

Founding Emperor landed on the ship and examined the golden ship. "I'm still a little away from achieving the Dao. Without the God Execution Stage, it's hard for my Dao Realm to improve. The God Execution Stage of the Ancestral Court is controlled by Heavenly Lady Qiang. I've been to her place, and she took the God Execution Stage away, cutting off my path to attaining the Dao… There are others on your ship!"

Qin Mu's heart jumped, and he hurriedly looked over. However, he didn't see anyone. He smiled and said, "Heavenly Lady Qiang, I've already killed her. Not only did I bring the God Execution Stage, I also brought the God Execution Mysterious Knife. It's enough to perfect your Dao Realm!"
