Tales Of Herding Gods | Chapter 1329 - The Mastermind
Unification of all Daos?
Everyone in the palace was shocked. Celestial Venerable Xiao was the reincarnation of Celestial Emperor Tai Chu, and his scheme was huge. Before his true body of Celestial Emperor died, he had already split his soul and reincarnated, transforming into a young elite of the human race called Xiao Weisu and becoming Celestial Venerable Yun's disciple.
Later on, he inherited Celestial Venerable Yun's legacy and became the leader of the human race. That was during the later period of the Dragon Han Era.
This meant that in the later stages of the Dragon Han Era, Celestial Emperor Tai Chu had already realized that the Postcelestial Dao was about to rise. Thus, he had taken precautions and split a soul to transform into Xiao Weisu to begin his plan!
When the Dao of Postcelestial truly rose, it wasn't the Crimson Light Era and High Emperor Era that followed. At the end of the High Emperor Era, the Dao of Postcelestial began to sprout, and when it truly developed, it became prosperous during the Founding Emperor Era and Eternal Peace Era.
Among them, Saint Woodcutter had contributed greatly to Wen Tiange.
In other words, Celestial Emperor's Grand Primordium could see what would happen in four to five hundred thousand years, which was why he could lay out the plan in advance!
'The Celestial Emperor isn't easy to deal with. None of the ten Celestial Venerables are easy to deal with!' everyone thought to themselves.
With the help of Wei Suifeng and Yun Jianli, the Dao markings in Celestial Venerable Xiao's sword were quickly sorted out. Wei Suifeng was knowledgeable and dabbled in many things. He had learned the most Postcelestial Dao from Saint Woodcutter, and the Postcelestial Dao in Celestial Venerable Xiao's technique wasn't difficult for him.
Yun Jianli, on the other hand, was the legitimate successor of the Purple Heavens Blue Skies technique. Their cooperation complemented each other.
After sorting them out, the two of them had no intention of leaving. They looked at Qin Mu, Apothecary, and Celestial Venerable Yue, wanting to see how they would treat their injuries.
Qin Mu was using his consciousness to examine the Dao injuries in Celestial Venerable Yue's primordial spirit. Without raising his head, he said, "When we treat the illness, the five Celestial Venerables who left these Dao injuries will be alarmed. I wonder who will lay their hands on this place."
Wei Suifeng and Yun Jianli's expressions changed drastically. Wei Suifeng bowed to the ground and said in a clear voice, "Celestial Venerable, we were kidnapped by Celestial Venerable from the academy. There are still some unfinished work in the academy, so we beg you to send us back!"
"Where there's righteousness, there's no shirking!"
Yun Jianli said righteously, "Since we promised Emperor Yanxiu, we must do it beautifully! Celestial Venerable, please send us back to the Dao Academy!"
Celestial Venerable Yue said gently, "It's been hard on the two of you. When you walk out of the palace gate and follow the light in the peach forest, you will reach Eternal Peace's capital city."
The two of them felt as though they had been granted amnesty and hurriedly left the palace. As expected, they saw a light in the peach forest. They followed the light and when they walked out of the peach forest, they saw that the light was from the lower capital city of Eternal Peace.
The two of them let out a sigh of relief and hurried to the lower capital. Yun Jianli couldn't bear to see them die, so he said, "Isn't it a little unloyal of us to abandon Celestial Venerable Mu and the Medicine King God to die there?"
Wei Suifeng smiled and said, "Of course not! However, my second junior brother likes to mess around. He might not die, but we can't be sure! Let's go, business is more important."
The two of them entered the capital.
In the peach forest palace, Qin Mu finally finished arranging all the Dao markings of God Emperor Lang Xuan's consciousness path. Apothecary also prepared spirit herbs. Qin Mu took out the Great Elemental Fluid, and the two of them looked at each other without a word.
Celestial Venerable Yue waited for a long time, but she still didn't say anything. However, she couldn't help but smile. "Two great experts, why are you so serious now?"
Apothecary bowed slightly and said, "If I were to treat Mu'er's injuries, I would have refined five hundred types of pills for him to eat, let alone five. In any case, it wouldn't poison him to death. However, if I were to treat Celestial Venerable's injuries, I can't help but feel anxious, trying my best to prevent any future troubles."
Celestial Venerable Yue couldn't help but sympathize with Qin Mu. She smiled and said, "There's no need for that, Medicine King God. Will my condition be worse after consuming your medicine? If it's not bad, feel free to make a move."
Apothecary acknowledged.
Celestial Venerable Yue looked at Qin Mu and waited for a moment before bursting into laughter. "Celestial Venerable Mu, what are you worried about?"
Qin Mu said seriously, "I'm thinking who will return to the celestial heavens and who will attack you. These five Celestial Venerables are all half-dead…"
Celestial Venerable Yue jumped in shock and stuttered, "They are half-dead?"
Qin Mu pondered and said, "It's impossible for Celestial Venerable Hao to make a move. He was heavily injured by the Grand Emperor and doesn't dare to return to the celestial heavens. Among the five Celestial Venerables, his injuries are the heaviest. Even if the Grand Emperor helps him with all his might, he won't be able to recover without a hundred to two hundred years. Furthermore, his divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu was also shattered. Celestial Venerable Huo was heavily injured by the Grand Emperor, Founding Emperor, and Lang Lang. He shouldn't be able to recover during this period of time. Furthermore, he's staying in the Great Void to guard it, so he's most likely not at the celestial heavens. His divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu is staying in the South Pole to suppress it."
Celestial Venerable Yue listened quietly, and she heard Qin Mu continue, "However, if Celestial Venerable Huo returns to the celestial heavens, he might make a move. After him is Lang Xuan. Lang Xuan was severely injured by the Grand Emperor and Celestial Venerable Xiao, and his injuries are also very severe. It's fine even if he returns to the celestial heavens. His divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu won't be able to reach here in a short time…"
"Ancestral God King's divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu is in Xuandu, and he can't descend. Ancestral God King's injuries aren't light either. His battle with the Grand Emperor almost shattered his Heavenly Dao treasure, and he can't refine it back in a short time. Even if he makes a move, he can't do anything to us."
"The only one I'm afraid of is Celestial Venerable Xiao. He had one of his hands severed by Heavenly Lady Yan, but this fellow is an oddity among the ten Celestial Venerables. He cultivates the Postcelestial Great Dao, and he's extremely passionate about it."
Qin Mu frowned deeply and said in a low voice, "He has also turned a blind eye to the reform of Eternal Peace. It's obvious that he is also interested in the reform of Eternal Peace. Eternal Peace inherited the creation technique of Crimson Light, so he must have learned it. His injuries should have already healed by now. What's even more terrifying is that he is Celestial Emperor Tai Chu. I wonder how far he has cultivated his Ten Thousand Dao Unification…"
Apothecary reminded him, "Celestial Venerable Xiao still has a Primordial Tree not far from the peach forest."
Qin Mu nodded and said, "His divine weapon, Celestial Venerable Yu, is right beside the Primordial Tree. Celestial Venerable Xiao, who is unified by ten thousand Dao, in addition to his divine weapon, Celestial Venerable Yu, and the Primordial Tree, is probably the strongest among the ten Celestial Venerables! If he makes a move, can you block him, Celestial Venerable Yue?"
Celestial Venerable Yue thought for a moment and summoned all of the palace maids. "Take out all the lanterns I have refined over the years and hang them in the peach forest according to this formation."
She took out a formation diagram and handed it to the palace maid in the lead. She instructed, "After hanging it up, return to the palace immediately. Don't stay in the peach forest."
The palace maids acknowledged and went to open the treasury of the palace. They took out several hundred lanterns and shook them. The lanterns lit up, and the palace maids carried the lanterns out of the palace to hang them on the peach trees.
Qin Mu stared straight at them, and there were hundreds of Hu Ling'er scratching around in his heart. He couldn't wait to snatch some lanterns.
Other people didn't know the benefits of Celestial Venerable Yue's lantern, but he knew the uses of these lanterns. He was even faster than those Celestial Venerables!
However, this wasn't the greatest effect of the lantern. It was strong enough to transform into strings!
Qin Mu had seen Bai Yujing, White Heaven Master, use the strings of the lantern to cut off Celestial Venerable Hao's fingers and even his head!
Celestial Venerable Yue waved her sleeves, and an ancient zither flew over and landed on her knees. She smiled at the two of them and said, "All five Celestial Venerables are injured, but the Grand Emperor has done me a huge favor. Why would the Grand Emperor be so kind?"
Qin Mu gave a slight smile and said leisurely, "Of course, there's someone behind the scenes, borrowing the force to fight. If it wasn't for this mastermind… mastermind, I wouldn't dare to treat your injuries immediately."
Celestial Venerable Yue took a deep look at him and suddenly smiled. "Celestial Venerable Mu, Medicine King God, I'm going to embarrass myself today. Both of you can refine medicine and heal your injuries. Wait for me to play the zither and meet the Celestial Venerables of the celestial heavens."
She plucked a string, and it trembled, giving off a crisp sound. In the peach forest under the night sky, the light from the lanterns suddenly became bright, and strings of light shot out from them!
The lanterns were connected by light strings that crisscrossed and vibrated with Celestial Venerable Yue's strings, giving off a beautiful melody!
