Tales of Herding Gods

“So-so.”

Qin Mu had just said this humbly when he was knocked on the head by Butcher. He could only say, “The last time I used knife to enter the path and comprehended a move to close South Heaven Gate. After that, there was no more movement.”

Butcher gave him a cold glance, and Qin Mu instantly felt like he had been slashed by a knife, becoming shorter.

“If your knife path hasn’t progressed, then your sword path hasn’t progressed either, right?”

Butcher sneered, “The path of healing, the path of painting, the path of Buddha, the path of formations, the path of stealing, and the path of forging all haven’t progressed, right?”

Qin Mu admired him from the bottom of his heart and praised, “Grandpa Butcher’s eyes are matchless, being able to see through my predicament with a single glance!”

Butcher acted like he was about to hit him, but qin mu immediately said, “However, I’ve already comprehended twenty-six heavens in my divine arts!”

“You comprehended it from the path of innate talent, right?”

Butcher resisted the urge to hit him, “The path of innate talent has countless elites from ancient times to the present who have worked hard on it. The ten heavenly venerates of the Heavenly Court and Dao sect all study the path of innate talent diligently to analyze the great dao of the ancient gods. You only need to learn it and you can use it. After that, you can comprehend it and enter the path. “Even in the ancestral court, you can also comprehend many divine arts, paths, and skills. “But why didn’t you comprehend a deeper level of knife path, sword path, and painting path?”

Qin Mu Thought for a moment and said, “Because knife path and sword path are all acquired skills. They need to be created from nothing, need to be comprehended by themselves, and need to be groped and sorted out by themselves.”

“This is the reason why even if you comprehend the great path of the ancient gods, you still can’t advance further in knife path, sword path, and painting.”

Butcher said, “Mu'er, you have left the secular world for too long. The path of the acquired realm originates from the secular world. Ever since you went to the Heaven Court, the majestic gods that you faced in the imperial court, the Heavenly Saints that you faced in the imperial court, and the one who schemed against you was the tenth heavenly venerate. “In the secular world, you can comprehend the Third Heaven of Your Sword Dao in a few short years. However, once you reach the Heaven Court, you will not be able to advance any further. “Mu'er, you are already very far away from the path of the postnatal realm. I’m not sure if you can still maintain the beginner’s heart of the youth from Great Ruins.”

Qin Mu raised his eyebrows. “My dao heart is stable, so it’s impossible for me to forget my beginner’s heart.”

“Really?”

Butcher pulled out his knife and planned to throw it to him. After thinking for a moment, he stopped and broke off a three foot long piece of metal from the deck of the boat and stuffed it into his hand, “Seal all your cultivation, Heavenly Palace, and divine treasure together and turn back into a mortal. I’ll bring you to your original heart.”

“There’s no need to go through so much trouble.”

Qin Mu gave a low shout and closed his spirit embryo divine treasure. He sealed it along with his primordial spirit.

Butcher took a glance at him and said, “You still have your corporeal body that hasn’t been sealed yet.”

Qin Mu’s ten fingers flew up and down and tapped on every part of his corporeal body. He sealed all the orifices of his corporeal body, and he instantly felt his corporeal body heavy. There wasn’t even a bit of vital qi in his body.

Butcher jumped out of the boat and said in a deep voice, “Bring your knife and follow me.”

Qin Mu jumped out of the boat and sank to the bottom of the river with a thud. After a moment, he floated up from the surface of the river and started to run wildly. He finally found the feeling of treading on the waves of surging river back then.

Not long later, they came to the bank of the river. Qin Mu was just about to execute his vital qi to drain the river water on his body when he remembered that he didn’t have any vital qi to use.

Butcher walked at a steady pace. Qin Mu tried his best to keep up with him, and gradually, he sensed the flow of the wind. His body became lighter and lighter, and he suddenly leaped into the air, stepping on the tip of the wind.

Butcher came to a small city, and Qin Mu looked around. This should be a new city in Jiang Ling, but this city didn’t exist in his memory.

In recent years, eternal peace was changing day by day, and new cities appeared everywhere. If Qin Mu didn’t return to eternal peace capital in three to five years, he would also get lost.

“Mu'er, there’s a bully in this city, go raise your knife and kill him,”butcher suddenly said.

Qin Mu frowned slightly and said, “Grandpa Butcher, the country has the law of the country. Since he’s a bully, then let the government investigate him. As Eternal Peace Imperial preceptor, how can I kill people without permission?”

Butcher raised his eyebrows and looked at him with disdain, he sneered and said, “Your initial heart has changed. Back then in Border Dragon City, you raised your knife in anger to break the restriction and split fu yueting apart. Where did that Qin Mu Go? If the law of the country is really omnipotent, then how can there be a bully?”

Qin Mu shook his head, “This is the bravery of an ordinary man. There’s no country law in great ruins, so you can get rid of them with your knife. However, eternal peace has the rule of law...”

“Knife path is the bravery of an ordinary man!”

Butcher shouted angrily, “If you encounter injustice, you can flatten it with one knife!”! Last year, when Jiang Ling wanted to build a new city, there were bullies who had their hands and eyes reaching the heavens and annexing the land. This place was originally a village with a population of one hundred and twenty-four. The bullies forcefully bought the land and forced the villagers to move. There were those who didn’t comply, six people died and forty-nine people were injured. If you were talking about the law of the country, the villagers here would go to Jiangling to report to the officials. The bullies would sit in the Yamen and slam the table to ask who would report to this official! Where is the law of the country? The villagers who sued him were also killed by the cane, where is the law of the country? Your Law of the country can’t take care of this place!”

Qin Mu frowned and asked, “River Tomb Yamen, why did you allow the bullies to wreak havoc?”

“Heavenly venerate mu, you are too close to the sky and too far from the Earth. You have already lost your initial heart!”

Butcher sneered, “Your blood is cold and your knife is blunt. You are standing too high up and you can no longer see the darkness and filth in the dark corners of the mortal world. You are standing at the height of the temple and have a good grasp of the general situation of the world, yet you can not see the rise and fall of the commoners. “If it was the Qin Mu of the past, what would he do?”

Qin Mu shook the three feet metal piece in his hand and walked into the city. His Qi and blood surged up as he said solemnly, “I can still awaken my hot blood. Who Is this bully?”

Butcher walked behind him. “Wei Yong’s son, Wei Qinghe.”

Qin Mu stopped and turned his head to look.

Butcher sneered. “What’s wrong, heavenly venerate mu? Did Wei Yong’s son make you stop? Your knife was already covered in rust and you were no different from ten heavenly venerates. You floated in the sky all year round and didn’t come into contact with the Earth Qi or the mortal world. You have become dull. You are no longer worthy to use a knife. Scram, go back to your heavenly court and become your heavenly venerate!”

Qin Mu’s blood surged and his killing intent soared to the sky. He held the three feet iron piece in his hand and walked towards the bustling city in large strides.

“Which one is Wei Qinghe?”He stopped a person and asked.

“You don’t even know Wei Qinghe?”

That person smiled and said, “That’s the famous celestial venerable Wei of Jiangling New City, Great Grandpa Wei! Walk forward and you will meet the red-robed youth who is listening to music on the Canary platform.”

Qin Mu walked forward and his ears heard pleasant music. He saw singers singing, dancers dancing, and musicians playing silk bamboo. Qin Mu raised his head to look and saw a man dressed in a big red robe on the high platform. There were many divine arts practitioners playing with him and their laughter shook the sky.

Qin Mu walked forward and walked up the stairs. There were divine arts practitioners blocking him from downstairs. “Great Grandpa is listening to music upstairs and has already wrapped up the Canary Tower. Please return.”

Qin Mu leaned closer and the muscles on his shoulder flicked. With a loud boom, the divine arts practitioner flew out and smashed a big hole in the Canary Tower.

Berating sounds came from upstairs, and many divine arts practitioners poked their heads down. Qin Mu flicked his fingers, and the divine arts practitioners were sent flying by the wind from his finger, crashing through the building.

Qin Mu took a step upstairs when he suddenly heard the sound of a sword. He tapped lightly with an iron piece, and the Flying Sword of the divine arts practitioner was incomparably sharp. In his hand, it was only an iron piece that had been crushed by ordinary iron, but when he tapped on it, the flying sword instantly exploded, however, the metal piece was safe and sound.

He didn’t use any cultivation and only used the simplest technique.

Technique, technique, and Dao.

These three were the steps for the divine arts practitioner to learn and improve. First, they had to learn the technique, sword technique, Dao technique, knife technique, formation technique, and medical technique. Once they had learned the technique to the extreme, they would then learn the technique, sword technique, Dao technique, knife technique, formation technique, and medical technique.

Only when the technique had reached great success could they comprehend the Dao.

They couldn’t learn the path and could only comprehend it.

Qin Mu had used the simplest knife skills taught by disabled elderly village, but the other party had executed exquisite sword skills. They were the classic sword skills taught by eternal peace, and there were even the shadows of the few sword skills created by Jiang Baigui and Qin Mu.

However, Qin Mu had already reached the point where he couldn’t work on his skills. Even though it was the simplest knife skill, it was incomparably simple to break the other party’s exquisite sword skills.

He climbed up the tower and faced dozens of sword lights. The men who were with Wei Qinghe all burst forth and cursed non-stop. They rode their swords to kill him and used the most exquisite sword skills of eternal peace.

Back then, these sword skills were rare in the world and could even be said to be cult master level sword skills. However, now, everyone could learn them.

Qin Mu held the metal piece in his hand and gently lifted it a little slower. He only heard the sound of cracking. His footsteps didn’t stop as he continued to walk forward. All around him were flying swords that had exploded.

Suddenly, a divine light struck his face. The red-robed man, Wei Qinghe, suddenly executed a divine sword and pointed it straight at Qin Mu’s face!

Qin Mu raised the metal piece and slashed it against the wind. Ding, a clear sound rang out.

Wei Qinghe revealed a look of joy and jumped up to shout, “You lowly peasant who bought off a poor family actually dared to assassinate me, yet you don’t know who my father is! My Father Dotes on me and has long bestowed me with a divine sword to protect myself...”

The metal piece in Qin Mu’s hand didn’t have a single crack, but dense cracks suddenly appeared on the divine sword. Following that, it exploded with a bang and shattered all over the ground!

Wei Qinghe was overwhelmed with shock. Qin Mu walked forward and asked, “Wei Yong’s son, Wei Qinghe?”

Wei Qinghe immediately said, “Brother, you are still young, don’t mess around...”

Chi --

The metal plate in Qin Mu’s hand burst forth with a stunning knife light. With a swing of his hand, a bloody scar appeared on Wei Qinghe’s left shoulder to his right rib, and his upper body slid down diagonally.

There was an uproar on the balcony as the singers, dancers, and musicians scattered in all directions. Wei Qinghe’s followers all rose into the air and shrieked, “Quick, go report to Old Master Wei, young master has been killed!”

Qin Mu shook off the bloodstains on the metal plate and sat down boldly. He poured himself a cup of wine and waited quietly.

Butcher revealed a look of admiration, “You’re back again. I can feel that Youth Qin Mu who walked out of disabled elderly village in great ruins is back again!”! Mu'er, aren’t you leaving? That Wei Yong was a good friend of yours when you were young and you have a deep relationship with him. Aren’t you afraid to see him since you killed his son?”

“Killing Wei Qinghe is completely useless!”

Qin Mu was expressionless as he said, “I’ll treat Wei Yong to a drink to appreciate my knife of law.”

Butcher tilted his head, “Troublesome.”

He also sat down and poured wine for himself. Later on, he felt that drinking with a wine cup was too troublesome, so he simply threw the lid of the wine pot away and drank to his heart’s content.

In the distant Jiangling City, divine light flashed and divine might overflowed into the sky as it sped over.

Dong --

A fat deity descended from the sky and landed on the Canary platform, shaking the entire building. The fat deity was awe-inspiring as he shouted, “Who killed my beloved son?”

At this moment, another three to five rays of divine light descended from the sky and landed on the ground, revealing the figures of several deities. They took a step forward and shouted, “Where did this thief come from? How dare he commit murder?”

“He killed an official of the imperial court. There is no need to interrogate him. He will be executed on the spot!”

The Fat God looked at the youth sitting behind his son’s corpse and could not help but tremble. The fat on his face also began to tremble.

The few gods were about to step forward when Wei Yong suddenly spread his arms and blocked them. The few people were puzzled and thought that he would personally take revenge for his son, so they retreated to the side.

Wei Yong took big steps forward and opened his mouth to say, “Brother Qin...”

“Brother Wei, call me imperial preceptor.”

Qin Mu raised his hand, “Your son, I killed him,”he said indifferently. “You and I have been friends for many years. Back then when I left great ruins, the first friend I made was you. You and I took a boat to cross the Golden River and went to the capital city to take the title of achievement. On the way, we met Dragon Rider sect who betrayed us and fought a few times. It could be said to be a life-and-death friendship. I killed your son and felt very guilty in my heart, so I poured a cup of wine and waited for you to apologize to you.”

Wei Yong cried loudly, “Just teach him a lesson, why did you kill him? I Won’t drink your wine!”

“Whether you drink it or not is up to you.”

Qin Mu stood up, he said in a deep voice, “There are many unfair things in this world. I can act like a brave man and walk with my knife, taking your son’s head and causing his blood to splatter five steps. “I am the Imperial preceptor and have the ability, but the commoners can only let your son bully and cheat. It made me realize that a brave man and a blade of a simple man can only be done in a short period of time. It can not rule the world and can not rule the world. “Therefore, I have comprehended a blade of law. Brother Wei, Please Guide Me!”

The metal piece in his hand came together and the blade light filled the entire building. The law was strict and the path of the country was like the heavenly Duke’s Xuandu heavenly platform and the chains of Youdu in the hands of the Earth count. They could capture People’s souls, raise the morality of the world, and destroy evil and awe-inspiring!

“Eternal peace wants to establish a country with the law. If there’s law, it must be followed, and there’s No Mercy!”

With just one move, Qin Mu waved his hand and threw out the iron piece, stabbing it in front of Wei Yong, he walked past him in large strides. “You didn’t teach your son strictly, and you turned your son into a neighbor. Report it to the Emperor Yourself, and the official will be stripped of three ranks. You will be punished with a salary of ten years. If such a thing happens again, I’ll use the knife of the law to kill you. Take care of yourself.”
