Tales of Herding Gods

Qin Mu was still very thin and weak, but he was much better than before.

The experience this time was truly terrifying. Even he himself was worried that the world tree would swallow him whole.

Never Had he expected that at the most critical moment, after the world tree swallowed his spirit embryo and soul, it would finally have his brand!

In the past, he had been unable to refine the world tree no matter what, and he had also been unable to brand himself. However, after the world tree swallowed his spirit embryo and soul, he had actually been branded just like that!

This experience could be said to be one of his most dangerous and terrifying experiences. In the end, it was a blessing in disguise.

His heavenly palace was still being reconstructed, and his magic power was also increasing steadily.

Qin Mu stood up and spread out the domain of his divine treasures. A treasure tree stood tall in the ancestral court, and the five mineral veins surrounded it. It made him feel as if his roots could spread to any corner of the domain.

For the first time, he had a wonderful feeling of being in complete control of everything.

He stood at the foot of his primordial spirit, which was hidden in the domain of his divine treasures. His primordial spirit was many times taller than his corporeal body, and the world tree was many times taller than his primordial spirit. The sky above was clear, and the sky was clear, the earth below was thick and boundless.

This scenery made people feel that it was thick and vast.

‘not taking risks, not trying, not exploring the unknown, I will never be able to fuse with the world tree. From this, I can see that if I take risks and try, there might be great gains!’

Qin Mu pondered over it quietly. Even though his divine treasure domain had formed and his heavenly palace was constantly being reconstructed, he could keenly sense that overlord body three elixir technique from the past was no longer suitable for his current technique.

Many people cultivated a technique from a young age to a great age, but Qin Mu was different. The technique needed to evolve continuously to make it more suitable for him.

The knowledge and foundation of each era were different, and the knowledge and comprehension were different. Hence, the technique also needed to be constantly improved.

Now, he had comprehended too much knowledge. After obtaining the world tree and planting it in his divine treasure, his comprehension of absolute beginning, absolute beginning, Tai Su, and Tai Chi had also reached a new height, more importantly, he had started to touch the path of great change!

Overlord body three elixir technique in the past could no longer contain this knowledge, so he needed to expand his technique now.

He originally had nineteen heavenly palaces, and this technique was already extremely complicated. Now that he had the world tree, it was much easier to coordinate them.

Different heavenly palaces represented different Great Dao. If he cultivated according to the method of ten heavenly venerates, it would be very difficult to fuse twenty to thirty emperor’s thrones into one in a short period of time and turn them into a heavenly court technique.

Qin Mu had fused nineteen emperor’s throne techniques for a long time. At his age, it was already an extremely remarkable achievement to have reached this step. However, this kind of cultivation path became more and more difficult as one progressed.

For existences like tenth heavenly venerate, they had fused more than thirty techniques, and the time spent was calculated in tens of thousands of years. There were also a few who had cultivated thirty-five heavenly palaces, but they were all trapped in the thirty-sixth heavenly palace.

Because of this, they had no choice but to display their divine arts to find their own unique path.

For example, heavenly venerate Hao chose to rely on Tai Su, the Empress and the sisters chose to devour each other, and divine emperor Lang Xuan tried to refine the dao fruits of others to make a breakthrough.

The ancestor god King simply murdered his father, heavenly duke, in an attempt to make a breakthrough.

Qin Mu didn’t have such a long time to figure it out bit by bit. When he cultivated to the later stages, his progress would definitely slow down.

But now, he only needed to use the world tree as his main body to unify all the Great Dao and techniques, and it wouldn’t be so difficult anymore.

More importantly, there were still five innate Great Dao!

He stood there and silently comprehended. Not long after, his twentieth heavenly palace gradually took shape.

This was supreme beginning Heavenly Palace.

He had comprehended the path of supreme beginning the most thoroughly through the world tree. He had originally had supreme beginning in the egg in his divine treasure lode, Refining Divine Stones and comprehending the path of supreme beginning.

The path of supreme incipient that supreme incipient had comprehended in the egg wasn’t hidden from him. If supreme incipient had comprehended some, Qin Mu would have obtained some. Even though he wasn’t as blessed as this ancient god, Qin Mu’s gains were still extremely great.

And this time, the world tree had directly swallowed the mine and supreme incipient divine stones, so the path of supreme incipient was the most thorough.

Gradually, the sky turned dark. As Qin Mu comprehended and created Supreme Incipient Heavenly Palace, he rose to the top of the newly grown world tree.

Terrifying tremors came from outside hundred thousand sacred mountain. It was a scene of the apocalypse, but the top of the New World Tree was calm.

The Sky suddenly brightened up, illuminating the layers of void. He could faintly see a dao tree standing in the ultimate void.

The dao tree was hazy, and its branches and leaves were like the branches and leaves of the world tree.

However, regardless of whether it was the world tree in Qin Mu’s divine treasure or the New World tree in the Hundred Thousand Sacred Mountains, they were still young. Yet the Dao Tree in the ultimate void was gloomy and covered an extremely wide area!

That should be great change’s Dao Tree.

There was only one dao fruit on great change’s Dao Tree, and there were no dao flowers. However, its branches and leaves were lush.

Suddenly, drops of dao dew gave off rays of light as they dripped down from a leaf. The iron bucket that great change had given to Qin Mu was also melted. He took out the iron bucket that he had refined and strolled leisurely on the leaf, the next drop of Dao Dew dripped down from the ultimate void.

The Ultimate Void was silent and charming. It appeared in front of him like it was within reach.

Great Change’s Dao Tree was also there, as if he could touch it with a raise of his hand.

However, Qin Mu knew that it was incomparably far away and wasn’t a place he could reach. He was still a dao seeker on the path of Dao realm and had yet to touch that realm.

The night was busy and full. When the sun rose, the last drop of Dao Dew fell. The Ultimate Void and great change’s Dao tree vanished, and the metal bucket in Qin Mu’s hand received a bucket of Dao Dew.

His supreme beginning heavenly palace had also been refined at that moment.

Qin Mu walked down from the world tree and carried the metal bucket to the Hundred Thousand Mountains to search for the Black Mountain that had been shattered last night.

Someone on the mountain saw it and couldn’t help being astonished. “Tai Yi has come out in Imperial Preceptor’s form!”

Qin Mu didn’t explain and continued to search for the Black Mountain that had split open. He used dao dew to repair it and when the Dao Dew was used up, he would just finish repairing the mountain peaks that had been shattered.

‘Tai Yi is still unfathomable.’He put down the iron bucket and couldn’t help sighing ruefully in his heart. He started to comprehend the path of Tai Su and planned to cultivate it into Tai Su Heavenly Palace.

It was rare for him to have peace and quiet. During the days, he repaired the black mountain that had been cracked by the tremors. At night, he carried the metal bucket to the Crown of the world tree to receive the dao dew that dripped down from the ultimate void.

A few days later, he opened up Tai Su Heavenly Palace and Tai Chi Heavenly Palace consecutively. When he opened up absolute beginning Heavenly Palace, Qin Mu was slightly stunned and a drop of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

‘heavenly emperor absolute beginning’s eggshell has been swallowed by My World Tree!’

More beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. These two eggshells were treasures that he had prepared to use to save Heavenly Emperor Ling!

He was prepared to bring absolute beginning’s eggshell into the Heavenly River that had already turned into a substance that wasn’t easy to use. He was going to use the divine art that wasn’t easy to send the Heavenly Emperor’s corporeal body into the eggshell to seal it!

He was prepared to seal it together with the primordial spirit of Supreme Emperor that was residing in the body of Supreme Emperor!

And the world tree had devoured and refined the absolute beginning eggshell, which meant that he had lost his greatest reliance!

If he wanted to save heavenly venerate ling, he would have to face the Heavenly Emperor’s absolute beginning corporeal body controlled by Supreme Emperor’s primordial spirit!

‘this time, it’s going to be troublesome!’

Qin Mu composed himself and continued to comprehend absolute beginning heavenly palace. Since he couldn’t put the Heavenly Emperor’s corporeal body and supreme emperor’s primordial spirit into the eggshell, understanding the Great Dao of absolute beginning better was the correct way to deal with Supreme Emperor and Heavenly Emperor!

A few days later, he opened absolute beginning Heavenly Palace, but he encountered a difficult problem when he opened it.

Even though he had understood a little about the path of great change through the World Tree, this great dao was really obscure. Furthermore, great change had already absorbed all the divine stones and primordial liquid in the great change mineral vein.

This time, the world tree had swallowed and refined the eggshell of great change, allowing him to understand the path of great change. If he wanted to comprehend it thoroughly, he would need great perseverance, great comprehension, and great fortune!

Furthermore, the world tree in his divine treasure was just as great change had said. It had already stopped growing, and Qin Mu’s divine treasure wasn’t the real universe. It lacked the nutrients to allow the tree to continue growing.

The World Tree was still just a sapling. Even though its roots were still growing stronger, the tree didn’t grow tall, nor did it grow any more branches.

Qin Mu counted. There were five main trunks and nineteen branches of the World Tree. Since they were compatible with the Great Dao he cultivated, they should correspond to the Great Dao he cultivated.

Among them, five main branches represented innate five supreme ones while the other branches were still dividing into different branches. For example, the Devil Path Heavenly Palace had sixty-four branches, which should represent the sixty-four Great Dao of Youdu.

Qin Mu temporarily gave up on the idea of studying Great Change Heavenly Palace. Now, he had twenty-three heavenly palaces, and his cultivation had also improved quite a bit.

What made him feel that it was even more important was to make use of the World Tree’s opportunity to walk further in the Dao realm!

In the next few months, Qin Mu mended the Black Mountain while receiving dao dew. At the same time, he focused on comprehending dao. The people in the one hundred thousand sacred mountains were still a little surprised at first, but they slowly got used to it and allowed him to be busy.

However, Qin Mu would occasionally wake up from this busy state, and he was a little bewildered. ‘Great Change is going to leave here for half a year, so what is he going to do?’

Ancestral Court, Jade capital city.

Tai Yi possessed his body and observed the huge cauldron that Wei Suifeng had left outside the city. There was an incense stick in the cauldron, and the incense stick was about to reach its roots. However, it was still swimming around in the cauldron, drawing a winding road map.

Wei Suifeng and Shu Jun were still alive, and the two of them were planning to cross the river.

It was unknown how wide and long the river of chaos was in front of them. They walked carefully along the river bank, and Shu Jun stubbornly believed that they had come to the other side of the river, so he wanted to find a path to cross the river.

However, this river did not have a bridge, so it was impossible to fly across the river. From time to time, terrifying skeletons would appear in the river of chaos, emitting a monstrous dao might. Even the river of chaos could not destroy them!

They even saw the skeletons of dao practitioners emitting rays of light, extremely dangerous rays of light moving on the river surface.

From time to time, distorted vengeful souls would appear on the river surface. They would struggle, roar, and pull everything they could grab, as if they were scapegoats looking for a substitute.

Even if Wei Suifeng and Shu Jun were extremely daring, they wouldn’t dare to cross the river. The two of them could only continue to search for a way out.

Right at this moment, a white-haired old man walked over from somewhere with a cane. He stopped in front of the two of them and said, “You’re going the wrong way.”

“Could it be Daoist brother Tai Yi?”Wei Suifeng hurriedly asked.

That old man Tai Yi nodded, he said, “If you cross the river, you really won’t be able to come back. This area is all dangerous. Once you reach the other side of the river, you’ll be at the residence of the Master of the Palace of Miro. Even if you can cross the river, you’ll still die.”

The two of them felt a chill in their hearts. Uncle Jun said politely, “Senior, can you bring us away?”

The Old Man Tai Yi shook his head. “I want to cross the river. I don’t have time to send you away.”

Shu Jun was a little disappointed. Wei suifeng quickly asked, “Dao brother, is my junior brother looking for us? Did he find the geographical map I left behind?”

“No.”

The old man Tai Yi said, “It’s too dangerous here. Don’t wander around. I saw the geographical map you guys walked past outside the city just now. That’s why I found this place. If you continue to move forward, you will definitely die without a burial ground. “Don’t retreat either. The river of Chaos is constantly changing. If you retreat, you won’t be able to find your original path, and you’ll only die in vain.”

The two of them kept complaining. Wei suifeng quickly said, “Is it safe to stay here and not move?”

The old man was too easy to observe the river’s hydrology. He said, “In another half a day, this place will be submerged by the river of Chaos.”

Shu Jun said decisively, “Senior, please pity US and take us away!”

Wei suifeng also said quickly, “If you pity us, then so be it!”

The old man was helpless, he said, “I’m going to see the Master of the Mycroft Palace. This trip is also extremely dangerous. I don’t have the confidence to come back alive. “That person is powerful and is above me. If he follows me, it will only be more dangerous. “If there wasn’t any danger, I wouldn’t have lied to heavenly venerate mu and let him guard the Great Black Wood for me for half a year.”

There was still something he hadn’t said. If he couldn’t come back alive, then Qin Mu wouldn’t just guard the Great Black Wood for half a year. He would have to guard it for a long time from now on.

At that time, Qin Mu would become Tai Yi’s successor and would never be able to leave.

Wei Suifeng and Shu Jun didn’t know the inside story and smiled apologetically. “Who can do anything to you? Dao brother, don’t joke around. My junior brother has never followed the map to save me, and now that we have nowhere else to go, I hope that Dao Brother Can Save Us!”

Great change could only bring them along and said, “Follow me and don’t fall behind, or you will die.”

The two of them nodded repeatedly and followed closely beside great change. Old great change walked to the surface of the river of chaos with his wooden cane and saw that the river instantly seemed to be boiling. Distorted vengeful souls stretched out their hands and grabbed at the three of them!

Tai Yi swung his staff and hit them hard, sinking the souls into the river, he shouted, “Don’t let them touch you! They are dao practitioners who died in the great overarching heaven and turned into nothingness. They want to capture you and replace you with their souls in their dead universe!”

The two of them were scared out of their wits. The souls of those dao practitioners grabbed at them casually and made them feel that they could not resist any supernatural power. Without Tai Yi by their side, they would probably fall into the previous universe in the next moment, their souls would be scattered and their bodies would be destroyed!

“This old man Tai Yi is really fierce!”

Shu Jun saw that Tai Yi had fought his way over, and he could not help but admire him greatly. “Old age makes one strong!”

—— the two chapters were combined into one chapter, four thousand words. They could not continue writing tonight. They still had to get up early tomorrow to send their daughter to school. Right, the surgery today went very smoothly. Thank you for your concern.
