Tales of Herding Gods

“Miluo Dao burial should be a joint attack Divine Art they comprehended from comprehending the dao patterns of Miluo Palace or Primordial Chaos Runes, right?”

Qin Mu walked into the chaos, his mind still recalling the joint attack of the sixty-seven apparitions of Dao Practitioners.

That attack should have been a terrifying divine art that was specifically targeted at him. He could see that when he was facing Miluo Dao Burial, all the divine arts, paths, and skills were completely useless. It was as if they were completely restrained, and he didn’t have any ability to resist.

If it had been any other place, even though Qin Mu wouldn’t have died, serious injuries would have been unavoidable. He probably wouldn’t have been able to recover within a hundred or thousand years.

However, their strike was in Qin Mu’s universe of Divine Treasures. Here, they didn’t even have the right to injure Qin Mu.

Of course, it was all because he had planted the lotus flower of returning ruins beforehand so that his technique could unify life and death.

Otherwise, even if Qin Mu didn’t die in the universe of divine treasures, he would still suffer heavy injuries.

“How unwelcome am I in the prehistoric universe?”

Qin Mu frowned slightly. “The ancestral court of jade capital city only has seventy-two treasure halls, yet the hall masters of the seventy-two treasure halls actually don’t like me and are ganging up to kill me!”

He couldn’t help shaking his head.

Where was the majestic heavenly venerate mu not loved by everyone?

In the past, everyone had been shouting and fighting?

At this moment, he walked to the Hall of Chaos.

He raised his head and saw nothing in front of him. It was like the ultimate void.

There were no stone steps in the Hall of Chaos. It stood tall in the void and didn’t know how to climb up.

Qin Mu hesitated for a moment and took a step forward. At the same time his foot stretched out, a long stone step appeared under his feet.

The stone step seemed to be made of Chaos Stone and appeared out of thin air.

At the same time Qin Mu’s foot landed on the stone step, an unimaginable pressure came crashing down on him from all directions!

This pressure was extremely strong. The source of the pressure seemed to be the power of the hall itself, but it also seemed to be Qin Mu’s own power to suppress himself.

What was even stranger was the Dao language that came from his ears. It was like Dao question, a question that could shake the deaf and make people think deeply!

This Dao language came from the Hall of Chaos. It was like someone was asking him questions with the Great Dao!

What puzzled Qin Mu was that this voice was clearly his own!

“What exactly is in that Hall? Is it another me or another person?”

Qin Mu didn’t answer this dao question. Instead, he forcefully withstood the pressure and retracted his other foot before taking another step forward.

However, to his surprise, the second stone step didn’t appear and there was still nothing in front of him.

The pressure also instantly increased!

“It should be because I didn’t answer the DAO question that came from the hall that caused this change!”

Qin Mu retracted his foot and that dao question came over once again and asked again.

He thought about this dao question with all his heart. Dao question was difficult to express in ordinary language. Regardless of whether it was God language or devil language, they could only express part of the meaning of dao at most and couldn’t completely describe it.

Dao Wen used Dao language, which could be said to be the most accurate language without any misunderstanding. It could also be said to be the most common language.

Of course, this kind of common language was for Dao practitioners and the few existences that had reached the highest realm in their paths, skills, and divine arts.

There were no obstacles when they communicated in Dao language, and they wouldn’t misunderstand each other’s meaning. This was also the reason why Qin Mu was able to communicate with Dao practitioners in prehistoric times.

Similarly, Dao question was also a divine art, a great killing tool. If the other party’s cultivation was inferior to his, and his DAO Heart had a flaw, Dao question could make the other party fall into self-doubt and self-denial!

Heavenly Emperor Vast Heaven had once used this move to harm Qin Mu.

However, Dao question that came from Hall of chaos wasn’t that simple. Apart from directly attacking Qin Mu’s Dao Heart, the question was also a difficult problem he had encountered in his cultivation.

“Who is asking me?”

Qin Mu frowned. As he endured the increasing pressure, he thought hard about the answer to this dao question.

When he was comprehending dao in the past, he had tried to comprehend and solve this difficult problem. However, there were too many trivial matters at that time, so he quickly threw this problem aside and turned to seek other paths and skills.

There was once someone who said he was a silly roe deer, and this description was very apt.

The silly roe deer was very curious about everything and could discover many secrets that others couldn’t discover. However, the silly roe deer didn’t have the patience to get to the bottom of everything, thus, Qin Mu left behind many problems that could be solved but couldn’t be solved on the path of cultivation.

Actually, with his current horizons and knowledge, it was no longer as difficult to solve these problems when he turned back.

He racked his brain and tried to answer this dao question. At that moment, the stone steps under his feet gave off light cracking sounds and cracks appeared on the stone steps.

Suddenly, the surface of the stone steps cracked open and pieces of chaos stones kept falling off.

The chaos stones fell down and immediately disappeared into nothingness!

Qin Mu held his breath and focused his mind. He closed his eyes and ignored everything as he continued to ponder.

When he saw that there was no place for him to stand, Qin Mu suddenly opened his eyes and spoke the language of Dao to answer the question!

The stone steps under his feet instantly stopped collapsing.

When Qin Mu finished answering the question of Dao, the stone steps under his feet actually recovered completely without him noticing.

Qin Mu let out a sigh of relief and stretched out his hand to wipe away the cold sweat. Only then did he remember that he was in the form of primordial spirit and didn’t have any cold sweat. If there was, it should be his corporeal body breaking out in cold sweat.

He put all his heart and soul into ascending hall of chaos, completely unaware that outside surging river heavenly palace, the cold sweat from his corporeal body had already covered his ankles, turning him into a small pond.

When he answered the first question of Dao, Qin Mu felt his entire body relax, and the pressure from before instantly vanished without a trace.

Not only that, he felt his dao heart becoming clearer, and his dao path had unknowingly improved a little.

He took a step forward, and at that moment, the second step of Chaos Stone automatically appeared under his feet.

At the same time, Qin Mu’s voice came from the high and Mighty Hall of Chaos, and he asked the Second Dao Question!

This dao question was something that Qin Mu had encountered during his cultivation, but he had thrown aside the difficult problem that he hadn’t solved yet!

‘how interesting!’

Qin Mu’s primordial spirit’s gaze flickered, and he became even more curious about what was inside the Hall of Chaos. ‘could it be that there’s another me in the hall? Or perhaps it’s my dao heart asking questions! I really want to go in and take a look...’

His current realm was equivalent to Ling Xiao’s realm after Jade Capital Realm.

Ling Xiao and Emperor’s throne were two traditional realms, so Qin Mu didn’t have a deep understanding of them.

He didn’t have Ling Xiao’s treasured palace hall, but had used his technique to transform into a hall of chaos. He didn’t know what he would encounter if he entered it or what was in it.

He didn’t even know if the same thing would happen to other people when they cultivated to Ling Xiao realm.

Would every person who cultivated to a similar realm receive the same test?

Would there be dao questions that came from the skyscraping hall when they stood in front of it, asking questions that they had given up on while Seeking Dao?

Would their dao questions directly strike their dao hearts?

However, he did not have time to think about it.

The primal chaos stone steps beneath his feet had already begun to shatter and collapse, and the pressure he was under was constantly increasing. He had to solve the problem that he had avoided before the stone steps completely collapsed!

He used his brain and tried his best to solve the second sentence of DAO question.

Finally, he solved the problem before the stone steps completely collapsed and answered it in Dao language.

The third stone step appeared, and Qin Mu’s voice came from the Hall of Chaos. It was dao question and the problem that he had avoided before.

Qin Mu’s mind calmed down, and he no longer rushed forward in a hurry. Instead, he quietly sat on the stone steps in front of the Hall of Chaos, solving all the problems that he had abandoned in his cultivation.

Some problems he was too lazy to solve, some problems he couldn’t solve back then, and some problems he had forgotten to solve.

And now, these problems were blocking him in front of Hall of chaos, becoming the biggest problem for him to enter the hall and ascend to the throne!

The debt he had owed back then due to his momentary ease, he would have to pay it back sooner or later!

Now was the time to pay back the debt, but it was also a process of filling in the gaps.

To make up for the flaws in his path of cultivation.

Slowly, Qin Mu answered more and more dao questions, and his dao heart became more and more perfect. His own dao path also gradually improved. Even though the amount of dao path he improved each time he made up for his lack wasn’t much, as he walked down the stone steps one by one, the accumulation of Dao Path became more and more, the amount of Dao Path he had accumulated was also extremely considerable.

He had already walked a hundred stone steps, and the Hall of Chaos was right in front of him. However, every time he took a step forward, new steps of Chaos still appeared!

Furthermore, the Dao questions that came from the hall of Chaos were becoming more and more unfathomable, making it even more difficult for him to answer them!

‘Dao questions will be finished sooner or later, and I’ll be able to ascend this hall sooner or later!’

Qin Mu calmed himself down and walked forward steadily. After an unknown amount of time, he still couldn’t ascend the hall of Chaos.

He turned his head back and saw that the hall of chaos had stretched for more than ten miles like a white line that stretched into jade capital city. However, when he raised his head, he saw that the hall of chaos wasn’t too far or too close to him, so he couldn’t step on it.

Qin Mu composed himself. This realm corresponded to Ling Xiao Realm. Only then did he know why there were so many strong practitioners on Ling Xiao realm, but so few on Emperor’s throne realm.

Probably the strong practitioners on Ling Xiao realm would also face all kinds of dao questions in their dao hearts at this stage. The dao questions and pressure they might have to face were not as abnormal as Qin Mu’s, but it was enough to trap them in front of Ling Xiao Hall!

At that moment, Dao questions in Hall of Chaos asked a difficult question regarding the dao of Taiji, which was related to the theory of Taiji evolving yin and yang.

Qin Mu frowned and thought hard for a long time. The stone steps under his feet had already collapsed to the point where he could only stand on one foot, but he couldn’t think of an answer.

He sighed and took a step back, landing on the stone steps behind him.

‘Dao questions, I can answer them in the future. Perhaps I can slowly ponder this difficult question. How long have I been here? I wonder how the outside world is doing.’

His physical body slowly woke up. He saw an old cow sitting under the shade not far in front of him. It was bare-chested and was smoking a hookah. There were a few Kui Dragons sitting next to it, looking at him with eager eyes.

The old cow handed the hookah over. The Kui Dragons hurriedly took it and gave it to the other Kui Dragons after taking two puffs.

Far away by the Heavenly River, there was a pure Black Tiger. It was using its tail to fish for the Red Kun in the Heavenly River. Suddenly, there was a cracking sound, and the Black Tiger hurriedly pulled its tail back from the river. It saw that its tail was shorter than before, it had been bitten off by a Red Kun in one bite!

The Black Tiger had a mournful look on its face. It activated the profound fate skill, and its tail slowly grew back.

A resounding cry came from the forest even further away, and a voice that was as unpleasant as a donkey sounded out, “Let me take a bite, I won’t eat you, just one bite --”

Qin Mu was suspicious and asked, “Senior brother Sanduo, why are you guys here?”

The old bull saw him waking up and hurriedly stood up. “Heavenly venerate, the four great heavenly teachers have all come. Seeing that you are cultivating, they didn’t disturb you, but are waiting in the palace now!”

“The Four Great Heavenly Masters are all here?”

Qin Mu was stunned and immediately walked into the palace. Village chief and apothecary were drinking tea under the huge tree in front of the palace gate. The two of them lay in the rocking chair and looked at Qin Mu lazily, apothecary smiled. “Mu'er, you have cultivated for four months and finally woke up.”

“It’s already been four months?”

Qin Mu was astonished. He hadn’t spent a long time to defeat seventy-two percent of the Dao practitioner’s phantoms, but to answer questions in front of Hall of chaos, he had probably spent nearly four months!

“Grandpa Apothecary, did you hear the news of the negotiations between Heavenly Court and Eternal Peace?”Qin Mu asked hurriedly.

“Yu Chenzi had already looked for you once, but when he saw that you weren’t awake, he left in a hurry.”

Apothecary thought about it and said, “He seemed to be saying that the negotiations between Heavenly Court and eternal peace are about to collapse.”
