Tales of Herding Gods
Chapter 1608: Celestial Venerable Hao Saves Mother

Yu Cangqiao was begging for his life.

His body was full of injuries, and his primordial spirit was also injured. His own Great Dao was also severely injured.

He panted heavily and looked behind him warily.

Behind him, a slender figure was like a maggot that was hard to shake off.

That was Wang Muran.

Eternal Peace once had a supreme sacred ground that was called Little Jade Capital. It was formed from the fragments of Founding Emperor Celestial Heavens. The people there called themselves immortals, and Wang Muran was the leader of those immortals. He was called Immortal Wang.

Up until now, no matter if it was Dao Sect, Great Thunderclap Monastery, or Heavenly Saint Cult, the techniques and divine arts of Eternal Peace had undergone earth-shaking changes.

On the Dao Sect, there was the celestial heavens' Dao Sect, as well as Dao Ancestor's support. In addition to being proficient in algebra, the Daoists' attainments in algebra became higher, which was why Emperor Yanxiu valued them highly.

Great Thunderclap Monastery also had the support of the Buddha Realm and Brahma Buddha. With the support of Zhan Kong Rulai, this great buddha whose buddha nature was unmatched in the buddha heart, it also became more prosperous.

Heavenly Saint Cult, on the other hand, went deep into the imperial court and the countryside. In addition, Qin Mu and Celestial Venerable Mu were Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor. Even though Heavenly Saint Cult's reputation wasn't prominent and they rarely mentioned this cult, their influence in the dark had also become stronger.

Only the supreme sacred ground of the past, Little Jade Capital, was gradually falling behind because it wasn't willing to attach itself to Founding Emperor Era and didn't have the support of the strong practitioners of Founding Emperor Era.

However, Immortal Wang's personality was stubborn, and he had to walk a different path. Not only did he have to catch up to his former enemy, Jiang Baigui, he also had to beat up Xu Shenghua and Qin Mu.

He had fused thousands of techniques of Little Jade Capital to find his own path. Even though it was hard, he was still one of the leaders of Eternal Peace's reform and had achieved quite a lot.

God Emperor Lang Xuan's reincarnation, Yu Cangqiao, had also been absorbing the results of Eternal Peace's reform over the years. He was one of the ten Celestial Venerables, and he had the Great Celestial Heavens technique of the thirty-five celestial palaces. He was also proficient in the Dao of Absolute Beginning, but he was still a scholar.

Facing a person like Immortal Wang who was at the forefront, he suffered greatly.

No matter if he used the improved Great Celestial Heavens technique or the Finger of Divine Essence, he couldn't harm Immortal Wang.

The time he had cultivated was too short, and he was still at the Celestial River Realm. However, this Immortal Wang had already walked out of the Nine Hells Stage Realm and was starting to touch the Jade Capital Realm.

Just his magic power alone was much inferior. As for his paths, skills, and divine arts, he was far inferior.

Yu Cang was like a wounded leopard, moving stealthily through the towering mountains and precipitous ridges, avoiding Immortal Wang. He felt more like a rat of Wang Muran, and Wang Muran was that cat, playing with him with interest and swallowing him up when he got tired of playing with him.

He came to the side of Surging River and was about to wash off the blood on his body when he saw Immortal Wang again.

Wang Muran sat beside the river, and beside him was an old fisherman. This bored Immortal Wang threw rocks at the river surface of the floating fish, accurately hitting it every time.

The fishing elder was angry but didn't dare to say anything. He could only glare at him.

Yu Cangqiao gritted his teeth and turned back.

After a few days, he sneaked into the Overlord Prefecture City of Eternal Peace. Before he could even let out a sigh of relief, he saw Wang Muran again.

Wang Muran was drinking his tofu pudding by the street. He was arrogant and stubborn and didn't fit in with the rest. His aura was weird, and there were no other customers in the tofu pudding shop.

Yu Cangqiao cried out and rushed towards the Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge of Overlord Prefecture. He turned his head back and saw Wang Muran putting down his bean to spend money, slowly walking towards the Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge.

'As long as I escape Eternal Peace and return to the celestial heavens, this brat will die in a thousand ways!'

Yu Cang broke through the checkpoint and entered the bridge.

On the other end of the bridge was Lan Cangtian, a heaven of Southern Heaven.

Yu Cangqiao escaped quickly and rushed towards another Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge in Lan Cangtian. Behind him, Wang Muran was still following him when he suddenly smacked his palm over.

Yu Cang begged with all his might to defend, but he couldn't block it. He was beaten until he bled and tumbled. He then leaped up and continued to escape.

He continued to escape among the various heavens of Southern Heaven. After an unknown period of time, he had escaped for an unknown distance and passed by dozens of heavens.

Suddenly, he flipped over and rushed out of a Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge. In front of him was an incomparably tall god statue.

That god statue was the god statue of Celestial Venerable Huo, and it was majestic and spectacular. Behind the head of the god statue was a blazing wheel that was tens of thousands of yards tall. There were numerous divine arts practitioners climbing onto the flaming wheel to wash away the dust on it.

This god statue had once been burned down by Qin Mu, but it was rebuilt afterward, becoming even taller and more majestic than before.

Yu Cang was surprised and delighted. Lying in a pool of blood, he cried out, "I'm God Emperor Lang Xuan! I'm God Emperor Lang Xuan! I was chased here by the scoundrels of Eternal Peace! Yan Yazi! Where is Yan Yazi? Quickly inform Celestial Venerable Huo!"

This was the Huo Celestial Palace of Celestial Venerable Huo. It was incomparably luxurious and majestic. Celestial Venerable Huo's eldest disciple, Yan Yazi, was guarding this place. When he heard the news, he immediately rushed over. When he heard Yu Cang begging for permission, his expression changed drastically. He shouted, "Guards, protect him! Quickly inform Celestial Venerable Huo!"

…

In the sky above the abyss of the Ruins of End, two Celestial Venerable Hao stood together. One of them had a tattered corporeal body. He was Celestial Venerable Hao's body of the Ruins of End and had yet to achieve the Dao.

During the battle of Youdu, he was injured by the respect of Spirit Jade and escaped into the Ruins of End. He fell from the sky and smashed ruthlessly into Celestial Empress' side palace, turning into a pile of mud.

At that time, his injuries were extremely severe, and the mud squirmed. Just as it reformed his corporeal body, it shattered into a pile of mud.

The Myriad Dao Heavenly Wheel was also broken by High Sovereign Ling Yu, and it swirled around the mud furiously. He had refined the Sacred Goddess of Great Simplicity and obtained all of her Dao techniques. He had used the path of Great Simplicity to repair the Myriad Dao Heavenly Wheel, making it gradually complete.

The Heaven Wheel refined the power of the Dao of Absolute Beginning contained in the strike from High Supreme Spirit Jade. After a long time, he barely managed to suppress his injuries. He still had lingering fears.

Just as he was about to return to Youdu to take charge of the battle, the violent light in the abyss of the Ruins of End surged upwards, and the tide burst forth.

He saw the red rope buckle.

Within the tide, there were five red ropes forming a strange mudra skill. It was unknown what it was sealing, but even the tide of the Ruins of End couldn't destroy it.

The twin lotuses rose from the abyss, and the petals of the lotuses swirled and bloomed. Celestial Empress' shrill cry came from within. "Celestial Venerable Mu!"

Mistress Yuanmu's voice rang out. "Sister, even if you scream your throat out, the person you like won't come back to save you. Celestial Venerable Mu's red knot hasn't changed much. As long as you are swallowed by me, I can become the Ruins of End's goddess and break free from his red knot! Sister, die!"

At this moment, Celestial Venerable Hao revealed a smile. He knew that he would definitely rule the universe and obtain the final victory. No matter how strong his father, Grand Primordium, was, he wouldn't be able to resist him.

Now that more than ten days had passed since the battle of Youdu, his body that had achieved the path had come personally to save his mother, Mistress Yuanmu.

The tide of the Ruins of End burst forth once again, and the red rope remained motionless in the light of the tide. Only the twin lotuses rose up.

"Mother, I heard that you were in trouble and came to save you!"

The two Celestial Venerable Hao merged into one and knelt down towards the two lotuses with a plop. He choked with emotion and said, "I'm about to ascend the throne to become the emperor, so I'm here to welcome Empress. Today is the day that Empress will be free from suffering!"

The two lotuses were silent.

After a moment, Mistress Yuanmu's voice rang out, and she chuckled. "Sister, my Hao'er is here. You don't have any more thoughts, right? You still have a way out, and that is to use the Dao of Reincarnation to hide yourself. The deeper you hide, the better. Don't let me find you!"

Celestial Empress' voice vanished, and after a moment, Mistress Yuanmu chuckled. "The little slut is indeed hiding, hehe. Hao'er, untie the red knot, and I can escape!"

Celestial Venerable Hao was silent for a moment before saying, "Mother, please forgive me. I can't undo this red knot…"

The two lotuses were silent.

Celestial Venerable Hao probed, "Didn't Mother just say that we can break free from the red rope?"

Mistress Yuanmu said angrily, "Celestial Venerable Mu's knot is an imitation of the master of Miluo Palace's divine art mudra skill. I was lying to you just now, how could I undo it?"

Celestial Venerable Hao rolled his eyes. "In that case, can Mother withstand the power of the red rope?"

Mistress Yuanmu instantly became nervous and said sternly, "What are you planning to do? Hao'er, I'm your mother after all…"

Celestial Venerable Hao's palm landed on the red knot, activating its power!

In the middle of the knot, countless markings appeared. Those markings were the Dao markings of the Miluo Palace, and they combined above the twin lotuses to form a huge hand that was suffused with purple qi!

This palm filled up the abyss of the Ruins of End. At that moment, even Celestial Venerable Hao felt a heart-palpitating and despairing aura!

The red rope was not a buckle, but a mudra skill!

This was a mudra skill that came from the master of Miro Palace. Even though Qin Mu didn't comprehend much, when this mudra was executed, it was as if there was a person standing at the end of time and space, with a palm strike!

Celestial Venerable Hao's hair stood on end. Even if he didn't face the attack head-on, he still felt an incomparable threat. Furthermore, Mistress Yuanmu was in the twin lotuses!

She would have to endure this terrifying power alone!

"This isn't a divine art that Celestial Venerable Mu can execute!" Celestial Venerable Hao cried out.

'This is indeed not a divine art that Celestial Venerable Mu can execute! This is because this divine art was created by the master of Miluo Palace!'

Mistress Yuanmu's shriek came from the abyss. "Celestial Venerable Mu's mudra skill hasn't changed at all! Hao'er, I need your help! Don't use the Ruins of End divine art! This mudra skill has a huge suppression on the Ruins of End divine art!"

Celestial Venerable Hao immediately rose into the air and descended with a roar. He caught up to the huge hand and used all his strength to attack it!

He was the most powerful existence in the world today, so how astonishing was his attack power? However, no matter how many of his attacks landed, they couldn't shake the palm-shaped mudra skill!

"This is bad…"

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. This mudra skill had already pressed down on the twin lotuses. Under the palm, Mistress Yuanmu let out an ear-piercing scream. The twin lotuses were almost flattened, and lotus leaves flew in all directions as they fell off!

Even though the tide of the Ruins of End was erupting at that moment, the mudra was actually suppressing the twin lotuses as they crashed into the bottomless abyss of the Ruins of End!

Celestial Venerable Hao's heart suddenly stirred. 'The mudra skills formed by the Dao markings don't have many changes. This might be the only chance of survival!'

He exerted all his strength and grabbed one of the fingers of the palm print, trying his best to pull it upwards.

If this mudra skill was a complete divine art, it would be ever-changing and couldn't be broken with brute force. However, since there were no changes to Qin Mu's red rope knot, it gave him a chance.

Boom!

The sky above Celestial Venerable Hao's head split open, and a huge chunk of Allheaven appeared. Countless roots of the Dao Tree stretched out and coiled around this finger. Finally, the finger was pried open.

"Mother, now is the time!" Celestial Venerable Hao shouted.

Yuanmu didn't move.

He looked down and saw Mistress Yuanmu lying on the twin lotuses. Half of her body was beaten until her flesh was blurry and she couldn't move.

Celestial Venerable Hao roared angrily, and branches flew above his head, sweeping up Yuanmu and pulling her out!
