Tales Of Herding Gods | Chapter 688 - Great Wizard

"Weird Baby Qin?"

Baby Qin Fengqing crouched behind a mountain and looked over sneakily as he waited for the old buddha to come down. He was furious and said, "How dare the three heads say bad things about me? I'll pluck his arms and legs off one by one."

He was like a cat ready to pounce on his prey and rubbed his hands and feet nervously. He had planned to seize the old buddha when he came down.

However, Brahma Buddha didn't come down and said, "Many thanks, Your Majesty Crimson Emperor, for the warning. Pardon this old monk for not coming down then. May I ask Dao Brother Heaven Duke and Your Majesty Crimson Emperor, how did both of you get here?"

The clone of Heaven Duke said with a sigh, "It's hard to explain with a few words, there's no need to bring it up again."

That old buddha took a look at them, and he understood, so he didn't continue asking. "What's the matter with the slight change in the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth? It seems to be from this place."

Crimson Emperor said, "It's the thing that Son of Qin is creating, he's reviving Goddess of Heavenly Yin."

"Is it caused by Qin Mu or by his older brother?" Old Buddha asked.

"It's by my bad brother!"

Qin Fengqing, who was hiding behind the mountain, couldn't resist asking, "Are you coming down or not?"

"I'm not."

Old Buddha said righteously, "If I go down, I will be trapped as well. Qin Fengqing, you can't do anything to me. Did you forget how you had tried to eat me and that you got suppressed by me?"

The clone of Heaven Duke said, "He won't eat us, but he will tear apart our limbs to play. You will suffer the same fate if you come down."

Old Buddha said with a smile, "Pure and innocent evil is a great evil."

The clone of Heaven Duke sighed and said, "It's still not as terrifying as wicked. Crimson Emperor and I had once assisted his brother Qin Mu to seize his cultivation, and in the end, Qin Mu became wicked. That was truly a great terror. He was completely lawless! If it wasn't for my skills being higher than his and that I had already thought of a solution beforehand, I'm afraid..."

Old Buddha shuddered. "You two sure knows how to have fun. If Qin Mu had really turned wicked, what would we do? It seems like it isn't the first time his brother Qin Mu created such a huge ruckus. In the recent hundreds of years, changes in the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth are gradually becoming more frequent, and Eternal Peace's reform has evolved from changing skills into changing paths. The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth has been changing itself for the past few hundred years, and there are many more paths than there were twenty thousand years ago. It's no wonder the celestial heavens are worried about Eternal Peace turning into another celestial heaven."

Heaven Duke said, "The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth still didn't have much of a change in the previous few years, but in recent years, with Son of Qin coming out from his training, the frequencies of the changes are becoming more and more frequent. To us ancient gods, every change means our powers are weakened, and this might not be a good thing. After the ancient gods are born, we can't flow together with the Great Dao. When the Dao changes and we don't, it means every change in skill and Dao is weakening us."


Old Buddha said, "The soul of Goddess of Heavenly Yin has shattered into the finest black sand, so how is he going to revive her?"

Heaven Duke said, "His divine art crosses too many systems, there is Youdu system, Mingdu's spells, Xuandu's divine arts, creation divine arts, the god path, the devil path, the buddha path, the Dao Sect, and many other things which are hard to say. He has many devious ideas, and it's still not known if the Goddess of Heavenly Yin can be revived."

Old Budda wanted to see the sight of Qin Mu casting the spell, but if he left, Qin Fengqing would be able to break open the seal so he could only hold himself back.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the starved ghosts in Goddess of Heavenly Yin's body were still pouring out furiously. They transformed into black smoke, which left into the distance. Most of the starved ghosts had been discharged out, and not many of them were left.

And so, Goddess of Heavenly Yin calmed down and didn't continue to attack Qin Mu and the god of Founding Emperor.

The god continued to shine the Life and Death Book on Goddess of Heavenly Yin's face, and he was nervous. He didn't dare to relax. Next, he saw the shattered soul of Goddess of Heavenly Yin returning from Qin Mu's summon and her shriveled up face gradually become well-developed again.

Finally, all of the particles of Goddess of Heavenly Yin's soul were summoned over by Qin Mu, and the starved ghosts completely discharged. The sacred god born from nature stood there without moving and just held the tower in her hands. The god of Founding Emperor stood on the top of the tower while Qin Mu stood on the tip. Behind him was his flipped Gate of Heaven Influence.

Words came out one after another, and every word was like a pearl. His voice boomed like thunder and light from the Gate of Heaven Influence shone on Goddess of Heavenly Yin's face.

He was stealing Heaven Duke's power and using the mighty force of Heaven Duke's creation to reconstruct Goddess of Heavenly Yin's soul.

Inside the Goddess of Heavenly Yin's body, countless black grains of sand reconstructed continuously and her heaven soul was gradually forming.

Qin Mu's expression was pale, and he felt a sweetness rising up his throat as blood poured up.

Even though he said he was stealing the power of Heaven Duke to execute his divine art, he had also exhausted a massive amount of magic power from his own body. Besides his magic power, his vitality and corporeal body were all thoroughly exhausted, and it was hard for him to hold on.

Suddenly, his body trembled, and he showed his three-headed and six-armed form. His primordial spirit also transformed into a three-headed and six-armed form.

Qin Mu stabilized his aura, and after some time, he finally reconstructed the heaven soul of Goddess of Heavenly Yin.

The Gate of Heaven Influence behind him suddenly rang out as heaven and earth were flipped once again, transforming back into the normal Gate of Heaven Influence. Black qi rushed out, and that was the Youdu devil qi. The qi rushed into Goddess of Heavenly Yin's body. It was rushing to her tailbone where the earth soul was being reconstructed.

The power Qin Mu was stealing was Earth Count's power, and he was borrowing Earth Count's power to reconstruct Goddess of Heavenly Yin's earth soul.

"Weurgh—"

The three heads of Qin Mu vomited blood from his mouth, and he tried to suppress his spirit that was almost breaking down. He continued to turn the gate horizontally and stole both Heaven Duke and Earth Count's power at the same time. Black and white light poured out at the same time to shine on the navel of Goddess of Heavenly Yin.

That was where the life soul was.

Among the three souls, heaven soul and earth soul could be recovered using the power of Heaven Duke and Earth Count. However, in regards to the life soul, Qin Mu didn't have much research.

His attainments in the field were inferior to Granny Si.

However, if the top of the Gate of Heaven Influence was heaven, and the bottom was earth, the mortal world should be in the center. The mortal world was where life resides, so he planned to use both Heaven Duke and Earth Count's power at the same time to see if he could help Goddess of Heavenly Yin reconstruct her soul.

Qin Mu found it harder and harder to hold on. No matter if it was his corporeal body or his primordial spirit, his magic power, or his spirit—they have all reached their limits. What made him gratified was the place where Heaven Duke and Earth Count's power were converging at, Goddess of Heavenly Yin's life soul was slowly gathering.

He continued to endure, but his mind was already muddled. He wasn't a god after all and executing such a heaven-defying great divine art to change the life of a naturally born sacred god was truly betting his own life!

Time passed by bit by bit.

Finally, Goddess of Heavenly Yin's life soul was reconstructed. Qin Mu roused his remaining energy and wanted to reconstruct her seven spirits when his eyes blacked out. He lost control over his body and fell from the top of the tower.

"Great Wizard has helped me reconstruct my three souls. Heavenly Yin can't thank you enough."

Qin Mu heard a very melodious voice beside his ears, and because he was too exhausted, he couldn't feel anything or see anything.

Goddess of Heavenly Yin stretched out her hand and caught him in her palm. "Much thank to Great Wizard for saving me, I'm born from heaven and earth, so I don't have three spirits."

Founding Emperor God stood on the top of the tower and continued to use the Life and Death Book. Goddess of Heavenly Yin said with a smile, "There's no need for that anymore, many thanks Dao friend."

The god immediately kept the Life and Death Book and took out his brush and paper to quickly write some words. Goddess of Heavenly Yin moved forward to take a look, and she said with a smile, "I don't have a corporeal body and just having a skin doesn't mean I'm completely revived."

The god changed another piece of paper and wrote some more. Goddess of Heavenly Yin said, "He doesn't have many problems, it's just that he exhausted too much vital qi and vitality. I have used Water of Heavenly Yin and Qi of Heavenly Qi to preserve his life. There's no need to worry."

The god took out another piece of paper and quickly wrote before raising it high up.

Goddess of Heavenly Yin said, "How do I solve the problem of having no corporeal body? I don't have any idea. I am born from heaven and earth, so I might be able to use Earth of Heavenly Yin and Water of Heavenly Yin to reconstruct my corporeal body. However, I'm helpless if you don't have flesh. Even though I can help you reconstruct your body, I can't reconstruct your divine treasures."

The god's expression became dim.

Goddess of Heavenly Yin lifted the tower and walked towards the sea. With a few steps, they came to the middle of the sea, and she let him float on the surface.

She raised her hand gently to gather the winds and refined a strand of qi of heavenly yin. The strand of qi quickly entered the heart of Qin Mu's brows and flowed throughout his body.

Goddess of Heavenly Yin grabbed another bunch of seawater which flowed through her fingers. What remained in the heart of her palm was a crystal clear water droplet.

Goddess of Heavenly Yin carefully placed a drop of water beside Qin Mu's lips. That water droplet seeped into Qin Mu's mouth and quickly dissolved, turning Qin Mu all misty as though a cloud enveloped him.

Goddess of Heavenly Yin said with a smile, "Great Wizard, wake up."

Qin Mu felt a soothing feeling spreading throughout his entire body, and when he opened his eyes, he was lying on the surface of a sea. Goddess of Heavenly Yin's face covered up half of the sky.

He immediately stood up, and he felt all of his fatigue vanishing without a trace. His vital qi was full, and he was full of vigor. His corporeal body also seemed to have boundless strength, which made him delighted and surprised. He stood on the sea and greeted the Goddess of Heavenly Yin. "Qin family Junior Qin Mu, pays respect to Goddess of Heavenly Yin."

"Great Wizard is too courteous."

Goddess of Heavenly Yin bent down to let him jump on her palm. She said with a smile, "Great Wizard could actually gather my three souls back, you have given me a new lease on life, and I'm indebted to you, Heavenly Yin can't express how gratified I am. Son of Heaven Yin has turned my place upside down, and when I recover my corporeal body, I will right the wrong."

Seawater flooded into her body, and the ground was also flowing to help reconstruct her bones. The corporeal body of Goddess of Heavenly Yin became more and more realistic, and her abilities were also rising furiously. "Does great wizard has any request?"

Qin Mu's face blushed slightly, and he said, "Goddess, there's no need to call me Great Wizard, I'm not even a god, and I'm just trying my best. My research on the three souls is even inferior to Granny..."

"You are worthy of the title."

Goddess of Heavenly Yin said with a smile, "Not even Heaven Duke knows your divine art, so how could you be not worthy of the title Great Wizard?"

Qin Mu blushed and gave some thoughts. "I'm from Eternal Peace which is on the outside, may I ask if Eternal Peace can form an alliance with Goddess?"

Goddess of Heavenly Yin said with a smile, "Of course."

Qin Mu let out a sigh of relief and said, "Mingdu has set up a point here to control the black sand and bring chaos to the mortal world. Would Goddess be able to control the flow of the black sand?"

Goddess of Heavenly Yin shook her head. "I have just revived, and I still can't control the entire Heavenly Yin World yet. I don't have the power to control these particles of black sand."

Her gaze was slightly cold. "Even when a soul is being shattered to its smallest form and turned into black sand, the grains of black sand are still shattered pieces of the soul, and it's fundamental attributes never changed. Do you know what this means?"

The corners of Qin Mu's eyes jumped as he saw countless ghosts squashing together, and in that kind of situation, they transformed into a huge body made of souls!

The whole Heavenly Yin World was situated in the darkness which meant that the entire Heavenly Yin World was an incomparably huge starved ghost!

"We are all in the stomach of this starved corpse."

Goddess of Heavenly Yin said, "This is the method Son of Heaven Yin used. He will soon know that I have revived and this incomparably huge starved ghost will awaken, attack me, and kill me again. However, he won't be able to succeed this time. I will fight him once more, and this time, I will let him know that the shade of heaven isn't a place he can step into!"
