Tales of Herding Gods
Chapter 1554: Celestial Venerable Yun And Celestial Venerable Mu Meeting

In the Great Overarching Consciousness Heaven, Qin Mu saw Celestial Venerable Ling leave and finally relaxed.

Celestial Venerable Ling's cultivation was weaker, and her unchanging divine art was no longer invincible. With her by his side, it was hard for him to do as he pleased.

Now that Celestial Venerable Ling had left, he could finally be unrestrained!

The World Crossing Golden Ship whooshed back, and Qin Mu rose into the sky to land on it. He saw the Grand Emperor fighting Founding Emperor, Celestial Venerable Hao, Celestial Venerable Xiao, and Goddess Tai Su, causing the four of them to vomit blood repeatedly. Even Founding Emperor was injured.

The Grand Emperor was invincible!

"After achieving the Dao, there should be Dao Tree, Dao Flower, and Dao Fruit realms. In that case, the Grand Emperor is at the Dao Fruit realm, while Founding Emperor is at the Dao Flower realm."

Qin Mu didn't join the battle immediately. His gaze flickered as he controlled the golden ship to fly around the Great Overarching Consciousness Heaven, searching for the Grand Emperor's weakness.

The Grand Emperor was plotted against by the Yuan Sage of Miro Palace, which resulted in him not achieving the true Dao. Logically speaking, no matter how strong he was, he should have a huge flaw.

Otherwise, the Grand Emperor wouldn't have schemed so hard to devour Celestial Venerable Xiao and Celestial Emperor's corporeal bodies, trying to get rid of the drawbacks brought about by the sacrifice.

He was trapped in the Great Overarching Consciousness Heaven, and only a small amount of consciousness could descend to the lower bound. This should be a sign of his weakness.

When the golden ship reached the Dao Tree of the Grand Emperor, thousands of roots could be seen dancing in the air. Even though the battle was intense, it was very peaceful here.

Suddenly, Qin Mu was slightly stunned before revealing a surprised and delighted expression.

"Celestial Venerable Mu, Yun and Mu doesn't meet. In history, we have never met and talked in detail. I didn't expect to meet here under such circumstances."

Celestial Venerable Yun sat calmly in the midst of the layers of tree roots. He was a primordial spirit, and he was bound by the roots of the Grand Emperor's Dao. Roots were everywhere on his body, piercing into his primordial spirit.

His gaze was still gentle as it landed on Qin Mu's body. He didn't seem to be embarrassed by his own predicament and didn't look like a prisoner at all. He smiled and said, "Today, I finally meet you, I can have a grand chat with you."

Qin Mu laughed loudly and controlled the golden ship to sail under the roots of the Dao Tree. The roots of the Dao Tree coiled around him, and Qin Mu executed the golden ship to dodge. However, the roots were incomparably soft and tough, and even he couldn't sever them.

These roots were like another Grand Emperor, and their attacks were strange and tricky, making it difficult for him to get close to Celestial Venerable Yun.

Suddenly, Celestial Venerable Yun stood up, and the roots of the Dao Tree on his body automatically fell off. He walked towards him and smiled. "Mu, do you know why my primordial spirit is undying in the Great Overarching Consciousness Heaven?"

Qin Mu noticed that the roots were connected to the back of Celestial Venerable Yun's primordial spirit. These roots were deeply embedded into Celestial Venerable Yun's body, fusing him with the Grand Emperor Dao Tree!

His blood ran cold, and he cried out, "You are the Grand Emperor? The Grand Emperor naturally won't kill himself!"

Celestial Venerable Yun was stunned. He didn't know why he suddenly had such a weird thought. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I'm not the Grand Emperor, but the effect of my Purple Heavens Blue Skies technique. My Purple Heavens Blue Skies technique is good at absorbing other people's techniques and divine arts, merging them together and transforming them into my own Dao technique. Back then, I was killed by the Grand Emperor. The Grand Emperor couldn't kill my primordial spirit, so he sent me into the ultimate void. He planned to torture me, refine me, and imprison me here."

More roots flew towards him and tried to burrow into his mouth to stop him from speaking. It was obvious that the Grand Emperor had noticed this and was trying to shut Celestial Venerable Yun up.

However, as soon as the roots touched Celestial Venerable Yun, they lost their target and passed through his primordial spirit.

Celestial Venerable Yun walked over, dragging a long root behind him. "After I was imprisoned here, the root pierced through me, and I couldn't move. However, the Grand Emperor achieved the Dao through consciousness. The moment I came into contact with the Dao Tree, I understood the marvel of the Grand Emperor's consciousness."

Qin Mu understood. The Grand Emperor's consciousness had formed the path. His consciousness had constructed this Great Overarching Consciousness Heaven, and his Dao Tree was also the path of consciousness.

Thus, when Celestial Venerable Yun came into contact with the Dao Tree, he understood the Grand Emperor's Dao through his consciousness.

However, Celestial Venerable Yun might not be able to cultivate the Grand Emperor's Grand Overarching Supreme Consciousness.

In the next moment, Celestial Venerable Yun avoided the seal of the roots and came to the front of the golden ship. He said with a smile, "After I understood the Grand Emperor's Grand Overarching Supreme Consciousness, I absorbed the nutrients in it and made the Dao Tree think that I was one with it. The path of consciousness can't hurt itself, so I chose to fuse with the Grand Emperor's Dao Tree to avoid death."

Qin Mu had a complicated expression as he looked at this Dao friend who had been imprisoned here for hundreds of thousands of years. They had only met once at the Jade Pool Meeting and didn't interact with each other. After that, they were separated by the celestial river and time, toasting from afar.

They were two very similar people, one carrying the years of the past and the other carrying the hope of the future.

And now, they were finally standing face to face!

This scene caused his emotions to surge, and he was unable to calm down for a long time!

He suppressed the surging emotions in his heart and voiced his doubts. He said solemnly, "Yun, you said it very easily, but you still can't convince me! The Grand Emperor has achieved the Dao, and you are not the Grand Emperor's consciousness path. How could you have fused with the Grand Emperor's Dao Tree? Unless you are the Grand Emperor!"

Celestial Venerable Yun didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Even though he and Qin Mu were Dao friends, he knew that Qin Mu was a terrifyingly stubborn fellow.

Sometimes, strange ideas would pop up in his head. If they didn't satisfy him, his weird ideas wouldn't die down.

"Because the Grand Emperor's consciousness path isn't complete."

Celestial Venerable Yun explained patiently, "I sensed that his consciousness path wasn't complete, that the Dao Tree wasn't perfect, and that the Dao Flower and Dao Fruits had their own flaws. That's why I had the chance to check the flaws and make up for them. I treated myself as a flaw in the path of consciousness and made up for it in the Dao Tree, Dao Flower, and Dao Fruit. Only then could I protect myself."

Qin Mu thought about it. The path that Celestial Venerable Yun had mentioned was feasible in theory, but he still had doubts.

Firstly, the Grand Emperor's flaw was caused by the incomplete technique of faith that Yuan Sage Mi Luo had imparted to him. Even the Grand Emperor didn't know how to solve it.

How did Celestial Venerable Yun know?

Secondly, Celestial Venerable Yun's primordial spirit was sent to the Great Overarching Consciousness Heaven. Even if he came into contact with the Dao Tree and comprehended the path of consciousness from the Grand Emperor's consciousness, he would still need time to comprehend and cultivate.

If the Grand Emperor discovered that he was secretly measuring his technique, how could he endure it?

And with Celestial Venerable Yun's aptitude and talent, could he really be so monstrous that he could cultivate the Grand Emperor's Grand Overarching Supreme Consciousness in such a short period of time? He could even check the flaws and make up for the Grand Emperor's deficiencies?

If that was the case, Celestial Venerable Yun's aptitude was too high.

"There's one more thing. If the Grand Emperor really wants you dead, you won't be able to escape from him."

Qin Mu's gaze flickered. He looked at the primordial spirit of the Dao friend in front of him and said, "The Dao Tree might not kill you, but the Grand Emperor can! If I were the Grand Emperor, I would have gotten rid of you immediately after seeing your aptitude and talent!"

Celestial Venerable Yun nodded. "The Grand Emperor does have this method. However…"

He had a weird expression. "When I touched the Grand Emperor's Dao Tree, I felt that there was something strange in the Dao Tree, and the Grand Emperor couldn't get rid of me. There was a treasure hidden in the Dao Tree, and it was this treasure that allowed the Grand Emperor to imprint his consciousness into the Ultimate Void. Thus, he achieved the Dao, the Dao Tree, the Dao Flower, and the Dao Fruit. The Grand Emperor's cultivation could be said to have been entrusted into the Ultimate Void, but it was rooted in this treasure."

Qin Mu's heart stirred slightly. 'In the ultimate void, no treasure can exist! What treasure can take root here and turn into soil for the Grand Emperor Life Dao Tree?'

Celestial Venerable Yun raised his hand, and a sacred sword suddenly appeared on the trunk of the Dao Tree. The hilt of the sacred sword seemed to be formed by nature, and the body of the sword was covered with thousands of steel seals that slowly rotated in the trunk of the tree!

When the sacred sword spun, the apparitions of various ancient gods actually appeared from the ten thousand steel seals!

The apparitions of the ancient gods were formed by divine light, big and small. They were scattered and orderly as they surrounded the sacred sword. Their expressions were solemn, solemn, and even sinister!

"Emperor Sword!"

Qin Mu cried out, "The Emperor Sword of Tai Chu!"

He had seen a similar sword before. It was a file in the hands of the Celestial Emperor of Absolute Beginning. Gu Xiao and Celestial Venerable Xiao often took out similar file papers to file their fingernails!

He had also seen Gu Xiao and Celestial Venerable Xiao use a file to transform into an Emperor Sword. It was extremely powerful and could suppress the ages!

However, there was more than one Emperor Sword. Gu Xiao's Emperor Sword was left in the ancestral court and wasn't the same as the one in Celestial Venerable Xiao's hand. Could it be that this was the third one?

"It shouldn't be the Tai Chu's Emperor Sword."

Qin Mu examined it carefully and said in doubt, "The power of this emperor's sword seems to be much stronger than those two! More importantly, the power in this emperor's sword is divided into two types…"

His expression became weirder. The first kind of power was naturally the Primordial One. This was very obvious and could be seen at a glance.

The second kind of power was the apparition of the ten thousand ancient gods that were reflected by the ten thousand steel seals. The heart of the brows of those ancient gods had flaws, and it was as if every ancient god had a third eye. However, their third eye no longer existed!

This gave Qin Mu a feeling that if he embedded a Tai Chu Divine Stone on these ten thousand steel seals, the third eye of these ancient god apparitions would grow out!

For some reason, these divine stones were taken down from the emperor's sword!

In other words, the second type of power was the path of consciousness!

The path of consciousness, together with the path of nature, was the complete path of the absolute beginning!

The other two emperor swords didn't have such an effect. They were more like replicas and forgeries forged by Celestial Emperor Tai Chu himself, while this sword was the real one!

"Could this sword be the accompanying treasure of Celestial Emperor Tai Chu?" Qin Mu cried out.

He suddenly realized why even Founding Emperor couldn't sever the Grand Emperor's Dao Tree, why Celestial Venerable Xiao and Celestial Venerable Hao couldn't do anything to it!

It was because they weren’t attacking the Dao Tree, but rather this Tai Chu Accompanying Treasure!

Any of their attacks would ultimately land on this precious companion treasure!
