Tales Of Herding Gods | Chapter 1709 - Bathing In Fire

In the main camp of the celestial heavens, Celestial Emperor Hao sat in the main hall of the side palace with a dark expression.

He had been sitting there for two days without moving. He had sealed his door and never walked out. On the ground lay the corpses of a few priests, and they had died miserably.

This was a god official who had barged in to give his advice and was killed by him.

For the past two days, no one dared to enter.

The celestial heavens had already invaded Carefree Village, and the Earth Masters had suffered heavy losses. The navy of the Divine Masters had pursued the remnants of Carefree Village, and the results were plentiful. The great army of Xuandu, the Left Guards of the Divine Strategy, led the devil gods of Youdu to invade the Buddha Realm and invade Eternal Peace from Great Thunderclap Monastery, preparing to head west to meet up with the great army of Xuandu.

However, Wei Suifeng, Qi Xiayu, South Deity, and Dragon Mountain Sanren came from different directions. In the east, Jiang Baigui led the Eternal Peace Army and followed closely behind the Left Guards of Divine Strategies.

Now, the situation on the battlefield was ever-changing, and the celestial heavens had the upper hand. It looked like everything was going smoothly, but it could turn into a situation where everything was going against the flow!

At such a crucial time, only Celestial Emperor Hao could control the entire situation and send out orders for the army of the celestial heavens to expand their battle results and prepare for the battle.

However, Celestial Emperor Hao hid in the side palace for two days and didn't come out. This made the ambitious people of the celestial heavens extremely worried.

"He lost…"

On Celestial Emperor's throne, Celestial Emperor Hao's face was sallow, and he suddenly felt a sweetness in his throat. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and his aura became dispirited. He muttered, "I've lost. I've already lost this battle…"

The celestial heavens had quelled Carefree Village, and the situation was great. Now, Eternal Peace and Carefree Village had only won a small victory, while the celestial heavens had won a huge victory!

In the eyes of those with discerning eyes, Carefree Village had been flattened, and the journey east to Peaceful Eternal Peace was already a smooth road. The celestial heavens could be considered to have a sure victory. No matter how Eternal Peace resisted, it would be hard for them to defend against the army that was several times or even ten times stronger than Eternal Peace!

What Emperor Hao Tian saw was his own defeat.

The celestial heavens didn't lose, but instead won a great victory, while he had already lost.

Defeated by Celestial Venerable Yun.

"I lost…"

His body trembled, and the white hair on his head also trembled like snow on the branches.

In just two days, he had already turned white from worry.

The Celestial Heavens had won, but it wasn't him, Celestial Emperor Hao.

Even if the celestial heavens were to flatten Carefree Village and Eternal Peace, the winners would still be Tai Chu, Yuanmu, Taiji, Ancestral God King, Celestial Venerable Xu, and the rest. They wouldn't be him, Celestial Emperor Hao!

That was because he had already been severed by Celestial Venerable Yun from the realm of achieving the Dao!

Celestial Venerable Yun destroyed his Dao Tree, his Dao Flower, and his Great Overarching Heaven!

Not only was he cut off from the realm of achieving the Dao, his other body, which was occupied by the second young master, was also completely destroyed by Celestial Venerable Yun!

He could have become one of a kind in the sixteen universes since ancient times and even in the prehistoric times. He had gathered existences that used strength to achieve the Dao and the Ruins of End to achieve the Dao. In the future, he could even achieve the Dao Realm!

However, everything was ruined now!

It was true that he was still one of the strongest existences in the world, but his abilities were already inferior to Tai Chu. Even if the celestial heavens won, the one in charge of power was only Tai Chu!

If Tai Chu was heavily injured by Shang Jun, the one who would take over the power might even be the ancient god of Tai Shi. As for him, he could only endure!

"In the battle between Tai Chu and Shang Jun, he didn't put in any effort. Shang Jun is the same as Founding Emperor Qin Ye, he only cultivates one Great Dao and has high attack power. However, he doesn't know much about the five Great Dao. As long as the Grand Imperial Sire doesn't fight him head-on, Shang Jun can't take his life."

"The ancient gods of taiji are two sneaky people who only have themselves in their hearts and won't risk their lives to fight."

'Celestial Venerable Xu, Ancestral God King, hehe, they are all looking at my seat…'

Celestial Emperor Hao seemed to be smiling yet not smiling. He seemed to be crying yet not crying. "I've lost, I've lost. Brother Yun, you've finally defeated me… No! I can't hand over this authority!"

He gritted his teeth and stood up from Celestial Emperor's throne. He paced back and forth in front of the corpses of the god officials. His feet were covered in blood, and the white jade floor of the hall was covered in blood.

Emperor Hao Tian's expression became darker. "Even if I'm beaten down from the realm of Dao Beings, I can still imprint the void and achieve Dao again! It's just that at that time, I'm no longer Celestial Emperor! The Grand Imperial Sire will definitely replace me. At that time, I won't be his match, and he can make me kneel before him! However, the Grand Imperial Sire isn't Celestial Venerable Mu's match at all! Yun, you've ruined my great situation!"

"But I still have a chance to turn the tables!"

"This chance is the Ancestral Court's Jade Capital City! It's the third and fourth young masters of Miluo Palace!"

He stopped in his tracks, and the expression on his face became slightly crazed. It was Celestial Venerable Yun who had driven him crazy. "If I fall from the throne of Celestial Emperor, I will become the laughingstock of everyone. Celestial Venerable Mu will laugh at me, and the Grand Imperial Sire will laugh at me. Ancestral God King, Celestial Venerable Xu, and the ancient gods of taiji will laugh at me! The civil and military will also laugh at me. They will laugh at me for being a delusional illegitimate child, and they will laugh at me for being a bastard born from the ancient gods and humans! You are all forcing me, forcing me…"

'However, if I completely submit to the three young masters and four young masters, I will still be Celestial Emperor!'

He laughed loudly with a twisted expression. "With the support of the three young masters and four young masters, I will still be your celestial emperor. The object of your worship will be high up in the sky, and all of you will have to submit to me! None of you will dare to mock me!"

Behind his head, the apparition of Miluo Palace's Numinous Sky Hall and Purple Firmament Treasure Hall appeared.

Emperor Hao Tian turned around and faced the apparition of the two throne halls.

He hesitated for a moment, but his greed for power shattered his pride and broke his spine, causing his legs to give way and he knelt down.

"From today onwards, I will serve all of you with my heart and soul, serving the Purple Firmament Hall of the Transcendent Firmament Hall of the Miluo Palace. From today onwards, I will be the lackey under my master, and I will take care of the matters of letting my master descend."

"From today onwards, I have no second thoughts!"

The apparitions of the two ancient treasure halls were filled with strange power, and cryptic Dao language came from the halls. They were very happy and gratified.

It was very difficult to find a loyal servant in the 17th Epoch, but they managed to do it. Emperor Hao Tian was their best candidate.

Emperor Hao was like a dog that had its head touched. He wagged his tail and begged pitifully, "Please deprive Eternal Peace's thieves of the power of Jade Capital City and Numinous Sky Hall! Slave Hao, we are willing to sacrifice the Primordial Realm to welcome our master!"

"Hao."

From the Numinous Sky Hall and Purple Firmament Hall came the gratified laughter of the third and fourth young masters. "We have finally molded you into the shape we want."

Emperor Hao Tian raised his head and smiled.

At this moment, Celestial Venerable Yun was dead. Celestial Venerable Hao, who was full of fighting spirit and unyielding spirit, was also dead.

When Qin Mu came to Eternal Peace, he felt strange fluctuations coming from the depths of space and time. His expression changed slightly, but he soon relaxed.

This wave came from the Jade Capital City of the ancestral court, not only the Numinous Sky Hall, but also the numerous treasure halls of the forest in the Jade Capital City!

When this wave spread to the entire Primordial Realm, any power that wasn't from the celestial heavens would sense the Jade Capital Realm, Numinous Sky Realm, and even Emperor's Throne Realm that they had cultivated diligently. They would no longer be able to give them strength!

In other words, these three realms were instantly crippled!

Qin Mu had already expected this.

The celestial palaces and celestial heavens imitated the celestial palaces and celestial heavens, while the celestial heavens imitated the Ancestral Court's Jade Capital City. The source of all of this was the Grand Emperor and Grand Primordium heading to the Ancestral Court's Jade Capital City to investigate.

When the masters of creation declined, the ancient gods of Tai Chu won. They built the Dragon Han Celestial Heavens according to their impression of the Jade Capital City of the ancestral court. Celestial Venerable Yu of the human race came to the celestial heavens and observed its grandeur. He sensed the power hidden within and created the realm of the celestial palace.

During the Dragon Han Era, Celestial Venerable Yun perfected the realms of Jade Capital, Numinous Sky, Emperor's Throne, and so on with the talented people of that time. After that, it took 600,000 years for the ten Celestial Venerables to perfect the realm of the celestial heavens.

The source of Jade Capital, Numinous Sky, Emperor's Throne, and the celestial heavens were the Ancestral Court's Jade Capital City!

Qin Mu had long expected that the young masters of the Ancestral Court's Jade Capital City would use this point to control the gods and devils in this universe. They could deprive them of their power, and they could even borrow their power to strengthen the Ancestral Court Jade Capital City and themselves!

He also had a backup plan.

This proposal was the cultivation system of the Dao Realm, as well as the new cultivation system of the ancestral court that Lan Yutian and Xu Shenghua had created!

It was difficult to enter the cultivation system of the Dao Realm, but once one did, they could complement the cultivation system of the ancestral court and progress together!

In the future, these two cultivation systems might even merge together to form the cultivation system of the Ancestral Court's Dao Realm!

"In the past, no matter if it was Eternal Peace or Carefree Village, neither of them had the will or courage to implement the cultivation system of the Ancestral Court's Dao Realm. After all, the new system was just created by Lan Yutian and Xu Shenghua. As the founders, they made these realms too profound, making it hard to understand. However, now that the Jade Capital City of the Ancestral Court has severed four realms, it will force Emperor Yanfeng and Founding Emperor Yi Yue to have no choice but to break their arms and push this preparation plan with all their might!"

When Qin Mu flew to Eternal Peace, the frontlines of Eternal Peace were already in chaos. No matter if it was the gods of Carefree Village or the gods of Eternal Peace, they were all incomparably terrified. Everyone was in a state of panic, and they felt incomparably hopeless.

Even Celestial Venerable Yue and Divine King Lang, who were fighting Ancestral God King, were thrown into chaos. The two girls lost three realms in a row, and their vital qi cultivation was almost depleted. They were almost killed by Ancestral God King!

Luckily, Celestial Venerable Yue's Dao Realm cultivation was still there, so she immediately used the void to escape with Lang Lang.

Ancestral God King followed up with his victory and planned to lead the Xuandu army to kill in all directions. When he was about to flatten the Misty Maple Valley in the west of Eternal Peace, a huge shadow flew past the Xuandu army.

"Celestial Venerable Mu!"

Ancestral God King was astonished, and he hurriedly mobilized his troops to protect himself.

At the same time, the battle in Youdu in the Primordial Realm was also like this. Any god that had cultivated to the Jade Capital Realm, Numinous Sky Realm, Emperor's Throne Realm, or Carefree Village would feel their power fading rapidly!

The higher the realm, the greater the share of magic power. Especially the Emperor's Throne Realm, it took up more than ninety percent of one's cultivation!

Without Emperor's Throne Realm, his cultivation would be reduced to one-tenth!

If a strong practitioner on Emperor's Throne didn't even have the Numinous Sky Realm and Jade Capital Realm, his power would only be one-thousandth of his original power!

In this kind of situation, how great would the blow from the higher-ups of Eternal Peace and Carefree Village be?

This was also one of the reasons why Emperor Yanfeng and Yi Yue didn't dare to implement the new cultivation system on a large scale.

The system of celestial palaces and celestial heavens was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. If he pushed it recklessly, it would definitely cause chaos, and it would also cause the power of the higher-ups to decline in a short period of time.

At that time, the battle of the Primordial Realm was imminent, and the new cultivation system had yet to be completed. There was no time to promote it, so it could only be implemented on a small scale in Eternal Peace's Dao Academy.

And now, they could no longer ignore the new cultivation system.

What the three young masters and four young masters of Miluo Palace had lost would be the divine arts practitioners of the future generations. They would no longer cultivate the traditional system of celestial palaces and celestial heavens, causing them to lose their source of power in the future!

The actions of the three young masters and four young masters forced the divine arts practitioners and gods of Eternal Peace to be reborn from the flames!

Qin Mu walked around the western war zone to intimidate the heroes of the celestial heavens, forcing the various marquises of the celestial heavens to stop fighting. He could only pull back his forces and defend the territory that he had already occupied.

Qin Mu then went deeper into the Primordial Realm's Youdu, forcing Celestial Venerable Xu to give up the chance to kill Celestial Venerable You and retreat back into the camp of the celestial heavens.

At the same time, in the main camp of the celestial heavens, two throne halls rose up and burst forth with incomparably dense light. It even covered the light of countless suns in the sky!

They were the apparitions of Numinous Sky Hall and Purple Firmament Treasure Hall!

Even though the two treasure halls were phantoms, the Great Dao was highly concentrated and almost materialized, giving everyone an incomparable sense of power and pressure!

Qin Mu looked into the distance and said in a low voice, "Celestial Venerable Yun, you have succeeded. Our opponent is no longer Celestial Venerable Hao. Celestial Venerable Hao has become a puppet. Our opponent has finally emerged from the shadows! Now, where are you?"

He had traveled a long distance from the ancestral court to the Primordial Realm. He didn't have much cultivation left, so he didn't dare to start a war directly. Instead, he came to Mist Maple Valley.

His divine treasure realm spread out and revealed the boundless marvel of the universe. The Hall of Chaos floated in his Great Celestial Heavens, facing off against the Numinous Sky Hall and Purple Firmament Hall from afar, raising the confidence and conviction of the armies of Eternal Peace and Carefree Village.

At the same time, the various armies from the west rushed over. Lan Yutian's figure appeared beside Qin Mu and spread out his ancestral court. The cultivation system of the ancestral court appeared in front of the people for the first time and complemented the marvels of Qin Mu's universe, confronting the Numinous Sky Hall and Purple Firmament Hall of the celestial heavens!

Celestial Venerable Yue, Lang Lang, Taishi, Celestial Venerable You, Heaven Duke, Earth Count, and the rest also hurried over. They spread out the heavens of the Dao Realm that they had comprehended, and all kinds of Heavenly Dao Realm experts of all sizes floated in the sky above Lan Feng Valley. Their Dao voices vibrated, stabilizing the hearts of the people and stabilizing the hearts of the people.

"Where's Celestial Venerable Yun?" Qin Mu asked everyone.

Lan Yutian told him what he had seen. Celestial Venerable Yue and Lang Lang also said that they had seen Celestial Venerable Yun. After the Battle of the Ultimate Void, many people had seen Celestial Venerable Yun and saw him walking out from the western war zone into Eternal Peace.

"This is the last place Celestial Venerable Yun came."

Yan Shaoqing told him, "Celestial Venerable Yun went to the Yun Residence and came out with Mistress Yunxiao, heading east."

Qin Mu was silent for a moment before revealing a smile. He looked around and said with a smile, "Celestial Venerable Yun is elusive. He got rid of the second young master and severely injured Celestial Emperor Hao, forcing him to become the dog of the three young masters and four young masters of Miluo Palace. He had already succeeded, but he didn't want to settle down, so he brought Mistress Yunxiao to live in seclusion."

He raised his head and looked at the sky with a smile. "What an enviable couple. I wonder when I can be as carefree as them?"

"That's right." Celestial Venerable Yue was dejected, but she still smiled.

"That's right." Lang Wo lowered his head.

"Yes." Celestial Venerable You turned to look into the distance.

They knew the truth, but no one exposed Qin Mu's lies.
