Tales Of Herding Gods | Chapter 1514 - Great Kindness
Qin Mu sighed in pity. Even though God Emperor Lang Xuan's abilities were extremely high, his abilities had only improved by leaps and bounds after obtaining the prehistoric Dao fruits.
That Dao fruit was very strange. It allowed God Emperor Lang Xuan's attainments in the Dao Realm to increase rapidly, while his attainments in the Dao heart declined instead of advancing. Therefore, Qin Mu felt that with his and Heavenly Lady Qiang's abilities, they could definitely ambush God Emperor Lang Xuan.
As long as he targeted Lang Xuan's Dao heart, God Emperor Lang Xuan would definitely lose!
However, Heavenly Lady Qiang was scared out of her wits by Celestial Venerable Xiao. She didn't dare to fight, and Qin Mu was helpless.
One of them stood at the bow of the ship, while the other sat at the stern.
Heavenly Lady Qiang would speak from time to time and point him in the right direction. After a while, they finally left the fog.
Qin Mu secretly felt pity. This fog was the best time for them to defeat the ten Celestial Venerables one by one. However, Heavenly Lady Qiang wasn't Founding Emperor. If it was Founding Emperor, the ten Celestial Venerables would have suffered heavy casualties.
Walking through the fog, Qin Mu also received great benefits. He seemed to have been delayed here for a period of time and didn't do anything other than sneak attacking a few Celestial Venerables. However, during this period of time, the World Tree in his realm had grown a chunk.
The World Tree had been absorbing the Chaos Qi in the Chaos River all this time, absorbing the energy from the great calamity that had destroyed the universe. It had actually started to grow, which made him overjoyed.
However, the absorption speed of this tree was very slow, and its growth speed was also not very fast. What was strange was that in every river of chaos, after the World Tree absorbed a portion of the Chaos Qi, it would no longer absorb it, and when it came to the next river, it would continue to absorb.
Even Qin Mu couldn't figure out what the reason was, so he decided not to think about it.
"Celestial Venerable Mu isn't at the Jade Capital Realm?" Heavenly Lady Qiang suddenly asked.
Qin Mu nodded his head and sighed. "My potential has been exhausted. I reckon I won't have the chance to enter the Jade Capital Realm in this lifetime."
His expression dimmed, and he sighed. "Watching you guys cultivate into celestial palaces, I'm really envious and jealous, but there's nothing I can do."
Heavenly Lady Qiang sneered. "Without cultivating the Jade Capital, you are already so powerful. If you cultivate the Jade Capital, how powerful would you be? Celestial Venerable Mu, let's not beat around the bush. Once your cultivation reaches the Jade Capital Realm, even the Numinous Sky Realm and Emperor's Throne Realm won't be able to stop you! In that case, why didn't you cultivate the Jade Capital Realm?"
Qin Mu became serious for once and said solemnly, "Because Jade Capital, Numinous Sky, and Emperor's Throne Realm are all traps!"
Heavenly Lady Qiang's expression changed slightly, and she asked hoarsely, "Why do you say that?"
"Every realm of the celestial palace can be found in the ancestral court where the Great Dao becomes a natural treasure land, including the God Execution Stage. However, the Jade Capital Realm isn't formed by the Great Dao, but by the master of Miluo Palace."
Qin Mu said indifferently, "The power of the master of Miluo Palace is unfathomable. He created the Jade Capital City, and you, the Grand Emperor, visualized the Jade Capital City and imitated it, turning it into the Jade Capital City of the celestial heavens. Future generations cultivated the Jade Capital City of the celestial heavens, and they fell into the trap of the Jade Capital."
He explained his thoughts and said, "The goal of Miluo Palace's master is probably to borrow the power of the gods in the world and the Jade Capital City that they cultivate to strengthen this Jade Capital City of the ancestral court! Until this Jade Capital City can carry him away from the great calamity of destruction and come to this world!"
He said coldly, "Anyone who cultivates the Jade Capital is making a wedding dress for the master of Miluo Palace, allowing him to descend to this world even earlier! Grand Emperor, from the beginning to the end, you were just a pawn of the master of Miluo Palace! He used you to spread the Jade Capital Realm, and now he's using the ten Celestial Venerables again!"
Heavenly Lady Qiang's expression changed drastically.
Qin Mu continued to say, "As long as the ten Celestial Venerables cultivate the Jade Capital Realm and cultivate the Great Celestial Heavens, they will achieve the Dao. This Jade Capital City will then be reinforced, and he might be able to escape from the universe of the past! This is the Jade Capital Trap, the Jade Capital Trap that will catch all of us strong practitioners in one fell swoop!"
Cold sweat rolled down Heavenly Lady Qiang's forehead. Droplets of sweat the size of beans fell onto the small boat.
Her body was stiff, and she turned her head with difficulty to look at the tattered Dao fruit near her shoulder.
The woman in the Dao Fruit was naked. She suddenly sneered and said, "Jade Capital Trap? You are thinking too much! How powerful is the master of Miro Palace? How compassionate is he? Why would he design a trap for ants like you? The master of Miluo Palace's goal is to save you! He's pulling you out of your ignorance so that you can awaken your wisdom and comprehend the Great Dao, and not live muddle-headedly!"
Qin Mu's gaze landed on the woman in the Dao Fruit, and he sneered. "Would Miluo Palace's master be so kind? Could he be a great benevolent person from the sixteenth universe era?"
"He's not just a good person!"
The woman in the Dao Fruit spoke with respect and admiration for the master of Miro Palace. "If it weren't for him and Jade Capital City, you guys would still be silly big fellows who only know how to use the Tai Chu Divine Stone to mobilize their consciousness. You guys would never have entered the era of civilization!"
Heavenly Lady Qiang's face darkened. She was unhappy with the word 'big fool'.
"It's the Jade Capital City of the master of Miluo Palace that gave birth to your civilization!"
The woman in the Dao Fruit continued, "The reason he forged Jade Capital City wasn't to rule over you guys, but to save people! He hoped to save you guys from the calamity when your universe was destroyed! You treat this Jade Capital City as a trap, but you don't know that this Jade Capital City was created by him using his Great Dao and the Great Dao of thousands of people who had achieved the Dao! A trap?"
She sneered and said, "This city contains his Great Dao insights and the Great Dao insights of tens of thousands of people who have achieved the Dao. If you guys can cultivate to the Jade Capital and comprehend the Great Dao mysteries in this city, you will be able to achieve the Dao and survive the great calamity of destruction!"
Her eyes revealed a fanatical expression. "This city will also become stronger and more indestructible because of you guys. It will carry us through the great calamities of the destruction of the universe one after another! If Jade Capital is really a trap, why did he have to impart his Great Dao? Why did he have to let thousands of Dao achieving Dao use their Great Dao to forge this god city?"
Qin Mu and Heavenly Lady Qiang were stunned and speechless.
This was especially so for Qin Mu. He had long known about the Jade Capital Trap, and he was certain that it was a trap left behind by the master of Miluo Palace. It was a trap used to kill the divine arts practitioners and gods of this era to help them descend sooner!
It was precisely because of this preconceived notion that he had all kinds of prejudice when he looked at the Jade Capital City of the ancestral court.
When he heard the words of the woman in the Dao Fruit, it suddenly gave him another perspective, making him slightly suspicious of the Jade Capital Trap.
Indeed, if the master of Miro Palace really wanted to lay down the Jade Capital Trap, why did he have to imprint his Great Dao on the Jade Capital City? Why did he have to gather the power of thousands of people who had achieved the Dao and put in so much effort to build this god city?
Could the Jade Capital Trap really exist?
Or could it be that the master of Miro Palace had always been kind and wanted to redeem people?
"However, if the prehistoric successors sneak into our universe, it will cause our universe to rapidly age and decline. The apocalypse of this universe will arrive early."
Qin Mu sneered, "How do you explain this?"
The woman in the tattered Dao Fruit shook her head and said, "This is because other people who have achieved the Dao don't want to die and are greedy for power. What has this got to do with the master of Miluo Palace? From the beginning to the end, the master of Miluo Palace has never tried to step into your universe. What he wants to do is merely to build this divine city. As for the actions of others, it has nothing to do with him."
Her admiration for the master of Miluo Palace had reached an extreme level, and her words were filled with respect. She didn't even allow Qin Mu to doubt the master of Miluo Palace.
"You can doubt anyone, but you can never doubt him. Any suspicion you have of him is an insult to him!"
The woman in the Dao Fruit said firmly, "If you guys can truly comprehend the secrets of Jade Capital City, you will discover the greatness of the master of Miro Palace and his good intentions! You think it's a trap, a trap that we purposely left for you guys, but you don't know that we cultivate Jade Capital City as well!"
Qin Mu fell silent.
After a long time, he slowly said, "No matter how extravagant your words are, I still have my doubts. Because the Dao friend I respect the most is the master of Miro Palace, who you praised so highly, who was beaten into the long river of chaos and disappeared without a trace! I even suspect that even you people who have achieved the Dao have fallen into his Jade Capital trap without knowing it."
The woman in the Dao Fruit sneered. "A summer insect can't talk about winter!" After saying that, she ignored him.
Qin Mu muttered, "I still have my doubts about him… I have to have my doubts!"
At that moment, terrifying auras suddenly came. Heavenly Lady Qiang looked back and saw Celestial Venerable Xiao, God Emperor Lang Xuan, and the rest rushing out of the thick fog.
Next, a Dao Tree flew out from the long river of chaos. Celestial Venerable Hao, Ancestral God King, Celestial Venerable Huo, and the rest stood on it.
"Celestial Venerable Mu, since you suspect the master of Miluo Palace, why don't you go and meet him?"
Heavenly Lady Qiang quickly said, "We'll know if there's a Jade Capital Trap!"
Qin Mu's spirit was roused, and he urged the small boat to speed up. He said solemnly, "In that case, let's go meet him!"
Even though Heavenly Lady Qiang treated Qin Mu as the most difficult opponent, she couldn't help praising his heroism. 'Even though this brat is full of evil tricks, no one can match his heroism.'
Qin Mu controlled the small boat to fly away, leaving the other Celestial Venerables behind. Celestial Venerable Xiao saw this and immediately invited Shi Qiluo, Heavenly Lady Yan, and God Emperor Lang Xuan to the Dao Tree under his feet. The Celestial Venerables executed their magic power together to chase after him.
On the other side, Celestial Venerable Hao also found Celestial Venerable Gong and Celestial Venerable Xu. The five Celestial Venerables stood on a Dao Tree, and their speed increased exponentially.
Qin Mu tried for a long time, but he couldn't break free from these few Celestial Venerables. Thus, he used all his strength to control the small boat and stopped trying to kill them.
After an unknown period of time, they saw land in front of them. Qin Mu and Heavenly Lady Qiang rose into the sky and landed on the ground. The small boat transformed into a walking stick and landed in Qin Mu's hands.
The two of them sprinted towards the third long river of chaos, and Qin Mu's gaze flickered as he thought to himself, 'The entire ancestral court is a huge sacrificial altar. It's used to seize the flesh and blood of the living beings in the ancestral court to offer sacrifices in exchange for the arrival of prehistoric Dao successors! I would like to see how the master of Miro Palace would explain the reason for his huge spending!'
