Tales of Herding Gods
Chapter 1614: The Dao Flower On The Golden Ship

"You two are the ones who are haunted!"

Qin Mu boarded the World Crossing Golden Ship, and with a thought, the golden ship looked much smaller from the outside. It was like a small golden boat, but on the ship, the space inside was still extremely vast.

"Brother, there's really a ghost on the ship."

Qin Fengqing hesitated for a moment and said, "I met Great-grandfather."

Qin Mu was stunned. He then thought of Founding Emperor and fell silent.

"I really saw him!"

Qin Fengqing saw that he didn't believe him and immediately said, "You've been busy these few days, and the others have also been busy, so I went to find little fatty to help me. We searched the ship for a long time and really saw him!"

The little fatty he was talking about was Tai Yi. Compared to a giant like Qin Fengqing, Tai Shi was just a round little fatty.

Of course, this little fatty's abilities were extremely high, and there weren't many who could fight against the ancient god of taiji. He was definitely one of them.

Qin Mu's heart stirred slightly, and the golden ship gradually accelerated into the void.

"You guys met him there?" he asked.

Tai Shi said, "In one of the halls. We saw a figure that looked like him, but we couldn't get close to him. Instead, we passed through him."

Qin Mu's expression dimmed, and he muttered, "It should be his imprint. The power of fourth young master's attack has already completely wiped him out. Even the black soul sand won't exist…"

"Little brother, do you want to take a look?" Qin Fengqing revealed a hopeful expression.

Even though he always called Qin Mu a bad brother, he always thought that this bad brother was omnipotent. He hoped that Qin Mu could find Founding Emperor, and maybe the bad brother would have a way to save Founding Emperor.

Qin Mu thought about it and nodded.

Logic told him that Founding Emperor would definitely not survive that strike from the fourth young master, but he would rather believe in miracles.

Qin Fengqing and Tai Shi led the way, and Qin Mu followed them to the palaces of the golden ships.

These palaces were built by the master of Miluo Palace, and each palace was equivalent to a heaven. The space inside was vast, and the strange thing was that the number of palaces wasn't fixed.

The palaces here would increase as the number of people boarding the ship increased. Even if everyone in the universe boarded the ship, there would be enough space for them!

What was even stranger was that once you entered a palace and walked out, you would find a new palace. Even if you continued to search, you would still find a palace that you had never been to on the ship!

This was the golden ferry that the master of Miluo Palace had refined!

Even though the World Crossing Golden Ship was marvelous and contained boundless space, it was unable to protect anyone when faced with the great calamity of the universe's destruction.

Qin Mu followed them into a palace. Qin Fengqing quickly circled around and said, "Not here!"

He opened the door of the hall and rushed out. He opened another door and swam away quickly. "Not here either!"

The doors of the palaces were opened, and more golden halls appeared on the World Crossing Golden Ship. Gradually, Qin Fengqing had already examined a few hundred halls, and the number of new halls kept increasing. Qin Mu could only watch him busy himself.

In the distance, the palaces that they had examined were slowly disappearing, and quite a number of new palaces appeared out of thin air. Qin Fengqing continued to examine them, and he was stubborn and tenacious. He wasn't discouraged at all.

Qin Mu followed him, and after an unknown period of time, Qin Fengqing was also slightly tired. He opened his three eyes in a daze and muttered, "Which hall is he in? We have clearly seen him before…"

He opened another hall, and faint sighs came from inside. Qin Mu's spirit was roused, and he hurriedly walked in. He saw Qin Fengqing walking out with a face full of disappointment. He shook his head and said, "It's not him…"

Qin Mu was puzzled and looked into the hall. He saw a figure walking towards him. The two of them met face to face, but that person had passed through his body.

Qin Mu was slightly stunned and looked at that figure. That was the imprint left behind by the master of Miluo Palace. His face was full of sorrow as he walked out of the palace just like that.

Qin Mu turned his head back to take a look and suddenly saw countless lifeforms in the hall. There were city walls and all kinds of buildings.

They thrived within it.

Suddenly, everyone turned into white bones in an instant. Following that, all the buildings on the city walls became chaotic qi.

The white bones also crumbled and shattered, turning into strands of chaotic qi.

Qin Mu was stunned. There was a world in the hall earlier, but now there was nothing.

He turned around and saw the imprint of the master of Miluo Palace standing outside the hall, looking up in a daze.

Qin Mu walked to his side and looked up, but he didn't see what he was looking at.

Qin Mu turned his head and saw two teardrops flashing past the corners of the master's eyes. His tears were imprinted in this space and became eternal.

Qin Mu was stunned. He didn't stay there and continued to search with Qin Fengqing and Taishi.

The World Crossing Golden Ship sailed towards South Heaven according to his wishes. The golden ship passed through the void, so it should take a month or two to reach South Heaven.

Qin Fengqing and Tai Shi were still searching on the ship, and almost every hall on the ship wasn't repeated. It was simply too difficult for him to find the palace where he had met Founding Emperor.

They encountered the imprint of the master of Miro Palace, the strongest existence in history. He had left many imprints on this ship.

Every time his mood wavered or dimmed, his figure would be imprinted on this ship.

As Qin Mu and the rest explored more palaces, they gradually met more owners of Miluo Palace.

These imprints were either sorrowful, depressed, excited, or dejected.

As they explored more places, Qin Mu gradually discovered that the places where the master of Miluo Palace appeared were basically places where the lifeforms of the First Universe died.

"In other words, when the calamity of the first universe broke out, some palaces actually had no people. The number of palaces that had people was limited."

He suddenly stopped and felt that he had caught onto something.

Qin Fengqing was still searching in front of him, and Qin Mu tilted his head in thought. 'Someone's palace and an empty palace might appear according to a certain pattern. If there's a pattern, it means that the number of palaces that the golden ships can evolve into is fixed. This is because the number of living beings in the first universe is also fixed.'

His brain worked faster. "The number of palaces is fixed, which means that we can search through all the golden halls!"

He suddenly mobilized his consciousness and visualized the paths he had walked and the palaces he had explored. He spread out these palaces and searched for the laws of mathematics.

Qin Fengqing stopped and turned back to look.

Qin Mu slowly followed them and suddenly asked, "Brother, do you know Celestial Venerable You's technique?"

Qin Fengqing was puzzled.

"It's the technique of Celestial Venerable You's billions of incarnations."

Qin Mu said, "Your attainments in Youdu Dao should be on par with his. If he can do it, you can probably do it as well."

Qin Fengqing's eyes lit up, and his body suddenly swayed. Another Qin Fengqing walked out from his body.

The two Qin Fengqing looked at each other, and their cultivations were evenly split. Their bodies swayed, and they each separated a Qin Fengqing.

Qin Fengqing continued to split, and soon, there were tens of thousands of them!

This was Celestial Venerable You's technique.

Celestial Venerable You's strongest primordial spirit was cultivated in this way. There were billions of clones, and every clone had a primordial spirit, which was naturally powerful.

However, there was also a weakness in doing so—the corporeal body was weak.

Because the Dao of Youdu rejected living corporeal bodies, this kind of cultivation method was very difficult to cultivate the corporeal body to the extreme. Therefore, Celestial Venerable You's achievements in the corporeal body weren't high.

Countless Qin Fengqing ran around and barged into the palaces, but even more palaces appeared out of thin air.

As Qin Fengqing ran, his body swayed, and he split into his own selves.

Qin Mu's gaze flickered, and he visualized more palaces. The rules gradually became clearer.

Taishi was dumbfounded. He suddenly asked, "Qin Fengqing learned Celestial Venerable You's technique?"

Qin Mu shook his head and said, "I've never learned it before. Celestial Venerable You is too autistic, and very few people can converse with him. The Great Dao of Youdu is also extremely profound and difficult to understand. He's too lazy to teach others."

Tai Shi stuttered, "In that case, how did Qin Fengqing learn it?"

"Brother is Earth Count after all. Furthermore, I'm the same person as Brother."

Qin Mu said indifferently, "He looks silly, but he's actually as smart as me."

Taishi thought about it and said, "In that case, why don't you?"

…

Finally, Qin Fengqing finished searching the last palace, but no new palace appeared. He pulled back his clones and revealed a disappointed expression. He shook his head and said, "We didn't find ancestor… Fatty, why are your eyes swollen?"

Taishi stuttered, unable to speak.

Qin Mu let out a shaky breath and looked at the palaces he had visualized. He analyzed the rules of mathematics and shook his head. "There's still a hall on the ship that hasn't been revealed. However, I can confirm the location of this hall!"

He walked forward and came to an empty space. He raised his hand and gently tapped the heart of his brows. The vertical eye at the heart of his brows opened up.

Dazzling light that was like countless glass crystals shot out from the divine eye in the heart of his brows, refracting in all directions. Celestial Venerable Yue's Extreme Void Scripture was circulated to the extreme.

The crystalline light that shot out from his eyes reflected countless space planes. There were palaces in those strange spaces, and they were the inner space of the golden ship!

Suddenly, Qin Mu's gaze gathered and shone on a palace. The glass crystal in his eyes slowly rotated from the front to the back, and a strange situation happened. When the crystal turned to the back, a throne hall appeared out of thin air in front of them!

The golden palace that had vanished from the golden ship had appeared!

"As long as you understand mathematical reasoning, all mysteries will no longer be a secret," the Grand Prime said earnestly to Qin Fengqing, who was dumbfounded.

Qin Fengqing looked at that golden hall in a daze and muttered, "If you weren't a little fatty, I would definitely feel that what you said makes sense…"

Qin Mu shook his robe and pushed open the door of the palace hall, walking into the hall.

In front of his eyes, a Dao flower seemed to be formed by countless sword blades, spinning slowly.

Qin Mu seemed to be crying but wasn't. He stood there with a smile that wasn't a smile and didn't move for a long time.

In the celestial heavens, after Emperor Hao Tian ascended to the throne, it became lively again for a period of time. Emperor Hao Tian conferred meritorious subjects, and the most eye-catching ones were the new Celestial Venerables.

Son of Heaven Yin was conferred the title of Great Saint of Samsara, Celestial Venerable Yin. The ancient god of taiji was conferred the title of Celestial Venerable Yang, Celestial Venerable Yin, and East Deity Qing Long.

The most unexpected thing was that the dragon had also come. He was conferred the title of the tenth Celestial Venerable by Celestial Venerable Hao. Celestial Venerable Long was in charge of the Beast World.

The other Celestial Venerables, such as Huo, Xu, Zu, and the others, also had their own rewards. Their statuses were even more distinguished.

After the grand event, Celestial Venerable Hao gave the order to suppress the rebels and prepare to attack the West Pole and the North Pole.

The rulers of the worlds returned to their own worlds, and the Celestial Venerables also returned to their own territories to recruit soldiers and buy horses, preparing to suppress them.

Celestial Venerable Huo sat in the carriage with his eyes closed. The carriage moved through the starry sky, leaving a long trail.

Riches and honor did not return to the countryside, and it was like walking in the night in embroidered clothes.

This was the reason why he didn't take the Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge, but called it the treasure carriage returning to Southern Heaven.

Celestial Venerables had to have the bearing of a Celestial Venerable.

The journey was safe and sound.

When the treasure carriage came to the Southern Heaven, its speed gradually slowed down. The treasure carriage passed through the various heavens of the Southern Heaven, and below it, the commoners knelt and worshiped.

Celestial Venerable Huo inspected the entire way. He saw that the Southern Heaven was orderly, but there were also signs of chaos. He couldn't help frowning.

The ones who rebelled weren't humans, but half-gods. They killed and plundered everywhere. On the other hand, humans were still submissive and didn't resist at all.

Celestial Venerable Huo captured a half-god and asked him about it. The half-god straightened his neck and said, "We don't have any more money! Southern Heaven is a farmer, he raises silkworms and fabrics, who knows how to build a manufacturing factory? Who knows how to make civilian spirit weapons? They were all bought from Eternal Peace, and now even us old masters don't have any money, so we can only rebel!"

Celestial Venerable Huo put him down and waved him away. He couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"If we don't fight for Eternal Peace, it will be hard for Southern Heaven to maintain itself. Southern Heaven is a small country with few people and lives in the fields. How can it compete with Eternal Peace's large-scale forging…"

Just as he thought until here, he suddenly heard a voice laughing. "Celestial Venerable Huo is truly a talent! He actually trained the humans here so well. They are docile, obedient, and don't have the slightest intention to resist. They also don't have the power to resist at all. These people have lived to sixty years old, and they have already been eaten by half-gods? It's too late, and the taste isn't good anymore. From now on, it's better to be forty years old. Forty years old is just right."
