Tales of Herding Gods
Chapter 1538: Sword Dao, Zenith Heaven

It was a sword formed from Founding Emperor's pure Sword Dao, and it was also a sword that he had washed away all the guilt in his Dao heart.

Carefree Sword represented Carefree Village. He used his sword path as a blueprint to forge Carefree Village's 33 heavens, hiding it in Carefree Sword and bringing it to the void on the other shore.

Building Carefree Village and moving Carefree Village to Founding Emperor Celestial Heavens was the most important decision he had made in his life. It was also the correct decision, but it was also the most criticized decision.

Now, Carefree Sword was shattered, but this wasn't Founding Emperor denying himself.

He never thought that he had done wrong. Instead, he felt that he hadn't done well enough and that his actions had let down the people of Founding Emperor Era.

His Sword Dao had sublimated at this moment.

The guilt he felt from his previous actions was an obstruction for his Dao Heart Realm to advance one step further, becoming an inner demon in his heart, preventing him from taking the final step.

He had a strong appearance and gave people a feeling that his Dao heart was incomparably stable. He was the Founding Emperor that no one could change, the Founding Emperor that no one could defeat!

He was the god of Carefree Village!

As long as he was around, Founding Emperor Era would be around!

As long as he was still alive, Founding Emperor Era would never fall!

But in reality, he was never a god. He was just a person.

He was also weak, hesitant, and indecisive. He also had pain in his Dao heart, injuries in his Dao heart, and inner demons in his Dao heart.

When Qin Mu used the God Execution Stage and God Execution Mysterious Knife to peel away the strong exterior of his Dao heart, slicing open his Dao heart layer by layer, revealing his original heart, the pain and inner demon in his Dao heart would be the strongest. It was also the time when he was the easiest to break down.

However, it was also the time for his Dao heart to ascend!

In order to prevent the tragedy from repeating itself, he had to wash away the pain in his Dao heart and the devil in his heart. He had to wash away the guilt so that he wouldn't have the same guilt and regret in the future!

The Carefree Sword in his hand shattered, and his Dao heart soared. With the initial heart as the sword, the moment the sword was formed, all of his Sword Dao fused together!

The blood and knife lights on God Execution Stage were drowned out by the light of the Dao Sword and shattered. In the blood light, the God Execution Mysterious Knife in Qin Mu's hand was broken inch by inch, forcing Qin Mu to retreat and resist with all his might. However, the sword light was like the sword path, penetrating through every pore, causing countless wounds to appear in an instant!

Qin Mu had no choice but to leave the God Execution Stage. However, the sword lights on the God Execution Stage grew stronger. Layers of sword path grew and swept through Carefree Village's heaven and earth, attacking the void on the other shore. Even the void on the other shore couldn't hide this sharp edge.

A sword light suddenly appeared in the void, shining brightly. It was the Sword Glory World.

The light of that sword path shone on the thousands of worlds in the heavens, making everyone who cultivated the sword to suddenly sense the universe. The sword path suddenly became incomparably clear and dazzling, making all the sword cultivators suddenly see an incomparably majestic figure, an incomparably bright sword light!

The Sword Dao was rising and sublimating, imprinting layers of void, reaching the deepest depths of the void, reaching the ultimate extreme!

Eternal Peace, Dao Academy.

Village Chief was currently teaching the younger generation of Eternal Peace how to use a sword. At this moment, he raised his head with a solemn expression and looked up into the void, his eyes filled with hot tears.

He felt the birth of an undying Great Dao.

This was the peak of the Great Dao that he had dreamed of.

In the ancestral court, Jiang Baigui and Emperor Yanfeng walked one after another. Jiang Baigui suddenly raised his head, and he had a solemn expression as if he was making a pilgrimage. He saluted from afar before continuing forward.

Emperor Yanfeng asked curiously, "Baigui, what are you paying your respects to?"

"I'm paying respect to the one who achieved the Dao by the sword."

Jiang Baigui had a solemn expression. "Today, someone achieved the Dao and became a monument of the sword Dao."

At this moment, no matter where they were, everyone who cultivated the sword path couldn't help having a solemn and dignified expression. At the same time, they paid their respects in the same direction. The sword in their hands, the sword pouch on their backs, the sword case, and the sword pellet they raised were all delighted for that person who had achieved the Dao.

The sword light danced in the air, feeling the unimaginable power of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

Meanwhile, in Carefree Village, Yan Yunxi, Guan Cha, Han Tang, and the other heavenly teachers raised their heads to look at the sword light, their emotions surging.

The day had finally come!

The Founding Emperor Celestial Heavens had transformed into Carefree Village, and from then on, they had accumulated a stomach full of grievances. Even when Qin Mu came to Carefree Village and woke up the people of Carefree Village to reignite their fighting spirit, their stomach full of grievances never vanished.

Because they were still beaten up.

The army of gods and devils of the celestial heavens attacked the Great Void and took over the land of the Great Void, forcing them to retreat into the void of the Paramita World.

Their resentment had turned into anger, and they always cowered and didn't dare to fight. They were indeed angry.

Yet Founding Emperor achieved the Dao!

This meant that they could finally counterattack!

In the distance, Woodcutter Wen Tiange seemed to be much calmer. He looked at that sword light and thought of the day forty thousand years ago when he met Founding Emperor and had a detailed conversation with him, making him think that they were close friends.

From then on, they embarked on a legendary path.

Achieving the Dao in the Postcelestial Realm was the goal they had set at the start, and now, they had finally achieved it.

"However, the sword Dao is only the first step. The path of Postcelestial and the three hundred and sixty postceletial Great Daos are the goals of Founding Emperor's reform!"

At this moment, Qin Mu had already left God Execution Stage. The pressure from Founding Emperor Qin Ye on God Execution Stage was too great. He was covered in blood and injuries, but his blood was flowing backward, and his wounds were healing rapidly.

He was also a sword cultivator. At that moment, he could also sense that the Sword Dao was a kind of Great Dao that was accepted by heaven and earth, becoming the Great Dao of heaven and earth.

As for Founding Emperor, one of the nine Celestial Venerables of the Dragon Han Era, he seemed to be imprinted in heaven and earth, becoming eternal!

At Qin Mu's waist, the Calamity Sword vibrated gently and gave off a light sword hum. The Sword Dao had become an eternal Great Dao, making the Calamity Sword very excited.

What was excited wasn't Qin Mu's Calamity Sword, but the sword path that Qin Mu cultivated.

"I suppose all the experts of the sword path in the world can feel this great joy?"

Qin Mu revealed a smile and looked at Founding Emperor on God Execution Stage with gratification. His heart was filled with pride and joy.

This person who had achieved the Dao was created by him, so he was naturally filled with pride!

On the God Execution Stage, the God Execution Mysterious Knife had already shattered and turned into baleful aura. It swirled around Founding Emperor Hu Xiao, but it was still hard to form.

Founding Emperor's Sword Dao was too strong, and it made God Execution Mysterious Knife unable to recover its full state.

Qin Mu looked up and saw layers of void opening up. The incomparably sharp sword path was imprinted in layers of void, and in every void, there was the figure of Founding Emperor.

In next to no time, the Sword Dao was branded onto the 35th level of the sky!

In the past, Founding Emperor had also imprinted his Sword Dao in the thirty-five voids, but that imprint was a small area. This time, his Sword Dao was imprinted in all corners of the thirty-five voids, and it was everywhere!

His sword path was like layers of heavens that spread out in the void. From Supreme Emperor Heaven to Jade Pure Realm, they covered the entire void.

Qin Mu suppressed the excitement in his heart and watched as Founding Emperor's Sword Dao broke through the 35 voids and came to the Ultimate Void!

He quietly waited for the arrival of this scene that would be engraved in the history of the entire universe!

Tai Yi achieved the Dao easily, but he wasn't a native living being of this universe.

The Grand Emperor achieved the Dao, but he was only a half-finished product, a defective product.

Tai Chu and Celestial Venerable Hao achieved the Dao, but they could only stay in the Celestial Heavens Realm for a short period of time. They couldn't imprint the ultimate void yet.

Celestial Empress' sister achieved the Dao, but the two of them transformed into one person. They were crazy and didn't know how to imprint their Great Dao into the ultimate void.

Only Founding Emperor Qin Ye, if he could imprint the Ultimate Void with his sword path, he would be the first person to achieve the Dao in this universe!

When the Ultimate Void Cave opened, it was a cold and lonely void. There was nothing there, and it was incomparably dangerous. There was almost nothing that could remain there.

No matter if it was human or object, as long as they entered the ultimate void, they would be blown by the cold and lonely wind, becoming infinitely thin and infinitely wide. The distance between the particles of matter and particles was infinitely far.

There was no quality or temperature there, only coldness.

The Void Bridge blocked the army of the celestial heavens. Even Celestial Venerables couldn't cross it, but the ultimate void was countless times more dangerous than the 35th void!

Only the true Dao could be imprinted there forever.

When Founding Emperor's Sword Dao entered, it rose and spread out in the cold silence, forming a Great Overarching Sword Dao Heaven.

The area paved by the Great Overarching Sword Dao Skill Great Overarching Heaven grew wider. In this Great Overarching Heaven, there was suddenly a sword light that trembled gently. A tender shoot grew in the Great Overarching Heaven, growing at a speed visible to the naked eye into a towering tree.

It was a World Tree, and it was also a Dao Tree of Sword Dao.

The Dao Tree grew from a sapling into a huge tree. It grew taller, and its area of coverage became wider. The crown of the tree was lush and verdant, and it made the Great Overarching Sword Dao look like a strange sky sculpted from beautiful jade.

Suddenly, a flower bud grew on the Dao Tree, and the sword path produced a Dao flower there.

The flower bud trembled slightly, and the petals swirled and split apart. The thirty-six petals swirled and bloomed, and the stamens were sparkling like jade swords.

This Dao flower was intoxicating. Looking at it from afar and not smelling its fragrance, one could see the sharpness and vastness of the sword path as well as its supreme power!

On the God Execution Stage, Founding Emperor's aura became stronger, and his cultivation rose steadily. The Dao Flower also became more vibrant, and the Dao Tree also became more sturdy.

Qin Mu clenched his fists tightly and quietly waited for that crucial moment.

After an unknown period of time, Founding Emperor's aura accumulated to its peak, and he suddenly became calm again. He walked down the God Execution Stage step by step.

Qin Mu was stunned and shouted, "Celestial Venerable Qin, where's your Dao fruit?"

Founding Emperor walked down and shook his head. "My Sword Dao is used up."

Qin Mu was furious. "What do you mean by that?"

"It's just that my Sword Dao foundation is used up, so I can't let the Dao Flower end."

Founding Emperor's tone was very calm as he said unhurriedly, "I feel that my spirit is compatible with the Great Overarching Heaven. In an instant, my Dao heart became incomparably vast, as though a new heaven and earth had appeared in front of my eyes. At this moment, I'm both excited and calm."

He talked tirelessly about his comprehension when he was forming the path, and he said, "I suddenly realized that achieving the Dao isn't the end. There are still realms after achieving the path. When I comprehended this realm just now, it was profound. Words couldn't describe it, and my consciousness couldn't describe it. I couldn't help but immerse myself in it, and I realized how shallow I was."

Qin Mu couldn't help being fascinated by the Great Overarching Heaven. He muttered, "I can gnaw it for many years again…"

He suddenly came to his senses and said seriously, "I killed Heavenly Lady Qiang and seized the God Execution Stage and God Execution Mysterious Knife to help you achieve the Dao. I helped you achieve the Dao with Celestial Venerable Ling and Celestial Venerable Yun! Founding Emperor, are you confident?"

Founding Emperor smiled.
