Tales of Herding Gods

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After Woodcutter and the rest of the heavenly teachers paid their respects, they surrounded Celestial Venerable Yu to study the blessings from all the ancient gods.

They had all studied hard during the Founding Emperor Era, and as long as they were focused on one thing, they didn’t care who the target was.

Celestial Venerable Yu stood there, not daring to move. He just let these people study him.

Scholar even took out a needle to prick him on his fingertips, taking some blood to study.

As for the discussion between these four heavenly teachers, Celestial Venerable Yu didn’t understand anything. As the scholar with profound knowledge in Eternal Peace, Qin Mu also joined in the discussion.

Celestial Venerable Yu stood there at a loss. Suddenly, one of the heavenly teachers said, “Invite Jiang Baigui over, he usually has ideas.”

Not long later, Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor also hurried over, and he began to circle around Celestial Venerable Yu as though he had found a treasure.

“Minister Qin’s place seems to be rather lively, I’ve come this time…”

Emperor Yanfeng came to visit, and he soon became one of the people to circle around Celestial Venerable Yu.

“Mu’er, what is it that you have asked me to come back for?”

First Ancestor Human Emperor brought twenty to thirty young men and young women in. Village Chief was also among them, and his limbs were now intact. First Ancestor and Village Chief went up while the twenty to thirty young men and young women pulled Qin Mu out and looked at him with all smiles.

Qin Mu was bewildered and asked, “Senior brothers and senior sisters, you are?”

“So you are the current Human Emperor, Qin Mu?” one short and stumpy man asked loudly. “I heard you are very powerful.”

Qin Mu replied humbling, “I am the current human emperor, but I’m not powerful. There are still quite a number of people whose wits and talents surpass me in this world. In terms of cultivation and abilities, there are countless. May I know who everyone here is?”

“Stop crapping and let’s fight!”

Everyone rushed up, and their abilities weren’t weak. Their methods were superior, and every one of them was a top-notch expert.

Qin Mu hurriedly dodged only to see that these people had marvelous and unpredictable footsteps. They were actually able to follow after his footsteps and close in on his left and right. They pincered him, causing him to have nowhere to run. He was astonished.

‘When did so many experts suddenly appear in Eternal Peace Empire? Every one of them has abnormally strong abilities. It’s fine if they are young, but the thing is that every one of them has a cultivation realm not inferior to mine!’ he thought to himself.

Everyone flooded towards him, and they seemed to be full of experience. It was like they had frequently fought like this and seemed to be good at brawling.

‘However, I’m never afraid to fight a bunch of people!’

Runes swirled around Qin Mu’s body and teleported the dozen of people that were close to him over ten miles away. Next, he transformed into his three-headed and six-armed form. With his divine art of the Martial Dao bursting forth, over a dozen experts collapsed on the ground and couldn’t move.

Qin Mu’s feet moved and executed all kinds of divine arts with his three heads and six arms. Figures got blown away by him, and they collapsed here and there.

His six arms opened up, and his runes reversed. The people that got sent ten miles away were brought back before they could even land on the ground.

“Magnetism great divine art!”

Qin Mu’s palms pushed forward, and these dozen or so people immediately felt their corporeal bodies and primordial spirits become incomparably heavy. With a loud bang, they collapsed to the ground and created a huge pit.

Over thirty yards away, the short fatty secretly got up and was about to land a sneak attack with his divine art when Qin Mu smacked him with the back of his palm. The heavenly fire divine art burst forth and blew that short fatty high up into the air. He flailed his arms and landed somewhere.

‘Having more than thirty young experts that aren’t weaker than me suddenly appear… When did Eternal Peace have so many talents?’

Qin Mu was still bewildered. He shook his head and walked towards Celestial Venerable Yu.

Village Chief looked at him with a sly gaze and winked.

Qin Mu was slightly stunned and instantly came to a realization. He cried out, “Human Emperor Qi Kang, Human Emperor Yi Shan! And also Second Ancestor! Third Ancestor! It’s you guys! You guys came together with First Ancestor!”

He hurriedly went to help those young men and young women up, saying as he stamped his foot, “I was wondering where so many experts not inferior to myself came from, so it’s grand-masters and ancestors! Why didn’t you tell me beforehand? If you had, I wouldn’t have used so much force… You are Second Ancestor, right?”

The young man that got helped up by him hurriedly shook his head. “I’m not!”

“You are Fifth Ancestor!” Qin Mu sized up another young man and said excitedly.

“I’m not, don’t speak blindly!”

That young man blushed and stuttered as he tried to argue. “How strong and awe-inspiring Fifth Ancestor is, how could I be compared to him? I’m merely a small fry!”

Qin Mu took off the willow leaf on the heart of his brows and looked with his third eye. He instantly had a clear view of everyone’s primordial spirits and smiled. “You are Fifth Ancestor! Even though your appearance has changed, your primordial spirit hasn’t. Have you possessed this body or have you reincarnated?”

That youth blushed and couldn’t say a word.

“Ancestor Lan Po! Ancestor Tuo Yu! Grand Master Qi Kang! It is indeed you guys! Was the short fatty that I blasted away with the heavenly fire divine art Grand Master Yi Shan?”

Qin Mu hurriedly said, “I don’t know where he flew to, what should I do?”

Human Emperor Qi Kang walked over and snorted. “Just now you said that we aren’t inferior to you, is there this kind of inferiority?”

Qin Mu explained, “When I said not inferior, I meant that you are all inferior by a line.”

Human Emperor Tuo Yu said angrily, “Is the difference of being inferior by a line so huge?”

Qin Mu scratched his head. “What I meant is the slightest difference leads to a huge error… Let’s not talk about this. Ancestors, grand masters, First Ancestor kept running out frequently and saying he had matters to attend to, was his teaching you guys techniques and divine arts?”

The human emperors looked one another in the eyes while Second Ancestor hung his head down and sighed. “First Ancestor has been training us in the Jade Brightness Palace behind the Hall of Human Emperors, teaching us techniques and divine arts. He also took out the techniques of the Founding Emperor Era and taught them to us. Coming out this time was supposed to be a big surprise for you…”

Qin Mu said with a smile, “Ancestors, grand masters, don’t be dejected. First Ancestor’s abilities are also inferior to mine by one line, so you guys aren’t bad. The main point is still that you guys have been holed up in the Hall of Human Emperors for the past few years. Eternal Peace’s paths, skills, and divine arts are improving at a godly pace, so when you learn from the Founding Emperor Era and not Eternal Peace, your paths, skills, and divine arts are full of flaws in my eyes. However, in terms of cultivation, you guys are no weaker than me…”

Granny Si’s voice rang out in astonishment as she asked, “Mu’er, why is your place so lively?”

Qin Mu hurriedly abandoned everyone to welcome her in delight. “Ancestors, grand masters, granny is the person that created the magnetism divine art. My great divine art of magnetism was learned from her. Find a place to sit first, I shall go welcome granny. That’s right, who’s going to find Human Emperor Yi Shan?”

“Mu’er, you’re back?” Blind tapped his way in with his cane.

“Blind, what are you running so fast for?” Deaf and Butcher followed right behind.

…

Qin Mu’s manor was already packed with people, and they had no place to settle down. Qin Mu hurriedly asked Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor, “Junior brother, how many people have you invited?”

“There’s still Dao Master, Rulai Ma, and those from the Little Jade Capital.”

Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor said, “I’ve informed King Yama’s side as well. As for Crimson Light’s Remaining Survivors at the South Sea, they aren’t our power, so I didn’t inform them. Grand Chancellor Xu Shenghua is too far away at West Earth and would take two to three years to arrive, so he wasn’t informed either.”

Qin Mu was stunned for a moment and hurriedly called over a few maids. “I have too many guests, and there are no places left to stay. Take some money and buy the manors around us.”

The maid in charge said, “Most of the people living nearby are merchants and nobles, they will probably raise the price.”

“I don’t lack that petty change.” Qin Mu waved his hands and got them to hurry.

Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor was silent for a moment before asking, “Heavenly Saint Cult donated a lot of money to the treasury for disaster relief, how does senior brother still have so much money?”

“Maybe Ling’er earned it in Border Dragon City.”

Qin Mu didn’t really know either and said apologetically, “I never ask about money as I’m not interested in it.”

Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor walked away silently and continued to study the blessings of the ancient gods with everyone else.

After buying the manors in the surroundings, Qin Mu immediately tore down the walls and established access between all the manors, making it convenient to move from place to place.

After some days, Wang Muran, Mu Qingdai, and the rest from Little Jade Capital hurried over. Some more time passed before Dao Master Lin Xuan arrived with numerous old Daoists and young Daoists of the Dao Sect.

Rulai Ma brought Devil Ape Zhan Kong and Monk Ming Xin over as well. Qin Mu heard that Sakra Buddha had also arrived, but he didn’t see him. He was either hiding from the old farmer or, perhaps, already lying in a ditch after getting blown away by the old farmer.

Experts were gathered in the manor with Dao Master Lin Xuan leading numerous Daoists to draw all kinds of runes from the blessings of the ancient gods. On the other hand, other people were deducing the marvel of these runes, trying to use all kinds of methods to solve the blessings.

“Celestial Venerable Yu’s blessings are a huge treasure vault!”

Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor suddenly said, “If we sort out the runes contained in the blessings of the ancient gods, we can determine the rune systems of the ancient gods’ Great Daos! Eternal Peace’s Great Dao of Runes will definitely welcome a big bang!”

Woodcutter said, “Don’t be in a hurry to get rid of these blessings, let’s sort them out quickly! If we can sort them out, this will be the rune system of the ancient celestial heavens!”

…

Qin Mu also wanted to participate in the research, but he got chased out by the four heavenly teachers. The old farmer said, “You have your own things to do. Go open your seventh divine treasure and call me when you’re done!”

Qin Mu was helpless. He could only cultivate hard and open up the divine treasures.

The speed in which he opened up the seventh divine treasures became faster and faster. Every time he opened one, the old farmer would destroy it with a punch before going back to his research.

Four to five months later, all of the rooms were filled with all kinds of records for the runes. The gods in the manor were all disheveled and dirty. Only Scholar, Granny Si, and the rest of the women still paid attention to their image.

On the other hand, Qin Mu was opening the last seventh divine treasure, the Celestial River Divine Treasure.

The Celestial River Divine Treasure was thought and designed by him with reference to the celestial river of the ancient celestial heavens.

This divine treasure would flow out from the celestial palace and towards the seventh divine treasure. The river would then pass through the Celestial Being, Seven Stars, Five Elements, Six Directions, and Spirit Platform to enter Youdu.

Qin Mu was suddenly stunned. ‘If that’s the case, wouldn’t all the divine treasures become one when the seventh divine treasure is opened?’

He blinked his eyes. Xu Shenghua had already created the Builder Tree Innate Divine Bridge as a technique to combine all the other divine treasures into one. Yet, the Builder Tree Divine Bridge’s requirement for algebra was too high, so there weren’t many people in the world who could construct the bridge. Algebra experts were required to plant a magic seed in the Dao heart, planting a sapling in the body of the divine arts practitioners.

Thus, the Builder Tree Divine Bridge was difficult to popularize.

If one had this Celestial River Divine Treasure, it would be much simpler. One celestial river would be able to connect all of the divine treasures and even all of the celestial palaces together!
