Tales Of Herding Gods | Chapter 1429 - Mutual Deception
In the celestial heavens, Celestial Venerable Hao, Celestial Venerable Gong, Celestial Venerable Zu, Celestial Venerable Hong, Celestial Venerable Huo, Celestial Venerable Yan, Celestial Venerable Qiang, Celestial Venerable Lang, Celestial Venerable Xu, Celestial Venerable Shi, and the rest of the ten Celestial Venerables gathered to discuss the matter of the Flat Xuandu. Celestial Venerable Huo asked, "The divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu of Xuandu was suppressed by Heaven Duke, and the Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge was also destroyed. Does Ancestral God King know what happened?"
Ancestral God King said, "The Xuandu Heavenly Dao seemed to have sensed that Heaven Duke was about to die, so the Heavenly Dao became restless and sealed my divine weapon. As for the destruction of the Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge, the millions of Sun Guards that were resting on Heaven Duke received the command of the Heavenly Dao and gathered together to form a rebellious force to attack the Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge and destroy it."
"Heaven Duke wanted to kick his legs before he died."
Celestial Venerable Xu sneered and said, "However, it's futile."
Celestial Venerable Hong hurriedly said, "We can't underestimate them. The Heavenly Dao won't let Heaven Duke die. Even if Heaven Duke wants to die, he can't. Heaven Duke was born from the Heavenly Dao, and he represents the operation of the Heavenly Dao. When necessary, the will of the Heavenly Dao will completely replace Heaven Duke's will. It will even be added to the bodies of the Sun Guardians in Xuandu, increasing their power."
"There are millions of Sun Guardians in Xuandu, and these Sun Guardians are usually in charge of the operations of the suns in the various worlds. If the Heavenly Dao augments them, they will indeed be quite a powerful force."
Celestial Venerable Gong said, "However, other than Sun Guardian, there are also Moon Guardians from all over Xuandu, as well as star sovereigns from all over. If they are also blessed by the Heavenly Dao, this power can't be underestimated."
Celestial Venerable Hong smiled. "Celestial Venerable Gong, are you going to Xuandu?"
Celestial Venerable Gong hesitated for a moment before shaking his head. "The celestial heavens can't be left unattended. I won't go."
Celestial Venerable Huo was impassioned, and he said loudly, "How can we not go? Heaven Duke has done all sorts of evil and has wreaked havoc in the world for a long time. If we don't kill Heaven Duke, we will be indulging him, and we will be accomplices!"
Celestial Venerable Gong said with a smile, "Celestial Venerable Huo abhors evil, and he can't tolerate even a speck of sand in his eyes. I admire him very much, but the celestial heavens is also crucial, so we have to guard against Bandit Qin's sudden attack. If I stay here, I can take care of him."
Celestial Venerable Hao said with a smile, "Dao Friend Gong, you can't support yourself by yourself. I'm also guarding the celestial heavens, just in case. Heavenly Consorts, what do you think?"
Heavenly Lady Qiang smiled. "Celestial Venerable Hao and Celestial Venerable Gong are here to ensure that nothing goes wrong. I'll go to Xuandu."
Heavenly Lady Yan's gaze flickered, and she said with a smile, "There are still three poles left in the Four Extreme Heavens, and I plan to intimidate Green Dragon, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise to prevent them from causing trouble again."
Celestial Venerable Xu said, "Youdu can't be left unguarded. I'll stay behind to guard against the chaos in Youdu."
Celestial Venerable Hao looked at Lang Xuan, and God Emperor Lang Xuan hurriedly said, "I have to go. If you guys don't go, it won't be good if something happens."
Celestial Venerable Hong smiled and said, "Heaven Duke's abilities can be said to be a perfected existence of the Great Celestial Heavens in Xuandu, no weaker than Celestial Emperor's. I have to go and assist Ancestral God King."
Shi Qiluo said, "The divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu was created by me. Heaven Duke is suppressing the divine weapon, so I have to make a trip there to break Heaven Duke's suppression."
Celestial Venerable Hao said with a smile, "In that case, I'll leave the battle of Xuandu to you guys. I, Celestial Venerable Gong, Heavenly Lady Yan, and Celestial Venerable Xu will stay here. I wish the six of you all the best in advance."
Everyone smiled knowingly.
Celestial Venerable Hao had always been arrogant and looked down on the other Celestial Venerables. If there were benefits, he would definitely take the big prize. After the battle with the Grand Emperor, he was chased by Qin Mu for 600,000 miles, and his reputation was ruined. Now, Celestial Venerable Hao had become humble and polite. It seemed like his injuries had yet to recover.
In the battle of Xuandu, with the six Celestial Venerables, Zu, Hong, Huo, Qiang, Lang, and Shi, it would be easy to deal with Heaven Duke. Even if Founding Emperor, Celestial Venerable Yue, and the rest interfered, it wouldn't change anything. It wouldn't affect the overall situation.
Suddenly, Celestial Venerable Hong asked, "In that case, what about Celestial Venerable Mu? Celestial Venerable Mu and Heaven Duke have a good relationship, he won't sit back and watch."
Celestial Venerable Hao said, "Son of Heaven Yin will block him. Dao Brother Hong, don't worry."
Everyone got up to leave, except Celestial Venerable Gong. He asked Celestial Venerable Hao, "Celestial Venerable Hao, are you really so steady that you want to stay with me to guard the celestial heavens?"
Celestial Venerable Hao didn't hide anything from her and said, "I haven't fully recovered from my battle with the Grand Emperor, and I'm only barely able to maintain my appearance. If I really go to Xuandu, I'm afraid I'll reveal my true form. Furthermore, I don't have a divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu, so I can't fight with them. On the other hand, Celestial Venerable Gong, your cultivation is deep, and you're still at your peak. Why do you want to stay behind?"
Celestial Venerable Gong said, "I don't have any thoughts about the Heavenly Dao. Whether I go or not is the same."
Celestial Venerable Hao laughed loudly and suddenly coughed violently. After a moment, he managed to catch his breath and said, "Celestial Venerable Gong is still as calm as before, admirable. I thought you would fight for something for my brother Lang Xuan. After all, you are his mother."
Celestial Venerable Gong's pupils contracted, and he smiled. "Celestial Venerable Hao must be joking."
Celestial Venerable Hao didn't continue. "The imperial family is all heartless, so it's no wonder you don't like my elder brother. Back then, I was the one who invited you into the ten Celestial Venerables and became the one in charge. Celestial Venerable Gong, you still owe me a favor."
Celestial Venerable Gong was silent.
Celestial Venerable Hao revealed a smile and said, "Our interests have long been tied together. Our alliance is unbreakable. Only I can tolerate your masters of creation race. Palace, do whatever you want to do. I'm behind you."
Celestial Venerable Gong thanked him and left.
Celestial Venerable Hao leisurely tapped his fingertips on the armrest of the throne. At that moment, the figure of a woman appeared behind him. Her voice was filled with charm as she said softly, "Celestial Venerable Gong has the weakness of the masters of creation, so she can't escape your control. You can use her to break down Founding Emperor and Lang Xuan, or you can use her son as enemies to get rid of Lang Xuan. You can also use her to deal with the Grand Emperor and Tai Chu. She's the only woman among the ten Celestial Venerables that can let you truly control all power! If you make good use of her, you will have supreme power! Furthermore, my Tai Su Divine Mine is in her hands."
"Many thanks for aunt's advice. Don't worry aunt, I will definitely help aunt retrieve the Tai Su Divine Mine!"
Celestial Venerable Hao revealed a smile and looked at the woman who looked like Mistress Yuanmu with infatuation. "Aunt, I haven't recovered to my peak state yet. The battle of Xuandu is extremely important. What's important isn't how to kill Heaven Duke, but how to divide the benefits. If I don't go, I won't be able to obtain any benefits and will only help Ancestral God King! Ancestral God King is obstinate. Once he gains power, he will force us to submit to him!"
"Therefore, you will definitely go to the Battle of Xuandu."
That woman was none other than Tai Su. Because Celestial Venerable Hao was thinking about Mistress Yuanmu, he transformed into her appearance and said gently, "If you want to raise your abilities and recover to your peak state, your primordial spirit will still be trapped in the Grand Emperor's Great Overarching Consciousness Heaven divine art. This is the best time for you to escape. Even if you get a portion of Heaven Duke's magic power, you can use it to break open the Great Overarching Consciousness Heaven."
"Aunt, please grant my wish!" Celestial Venerable Hao said solemnly.
Goddess Tai Su had a loving smile on her face that was full of motherly power. She smiled and said, "Beg me, you know the rules."
Celestial Venerable Hao knelt down and kowtowed to her fervently. He kissed her toes, but his gaze was extremely calm.
Goddess Tai Su smiled and said, "If you beg me, I will naturally agree to it. Don't worry, I will go with you. I will bring my supreme treasure with me and guarantee that you will obtain the greatest benefits. Because the stronger you are, the happier I will be…"
