Tales of Herding Gods
Chapter 1649: Testing

"The legacy of the young master of Miluo Palace's paths, skills, and divine arts also comes from the primordial runes!"

Qin Mu tried to activate the runes in the door. This door should have been forged by the Dao Tree of a certain person who had achieved the Dao. However, that person was too strong, and his Dao Tree had become indestructible. However, when he studied the runes inside, he immediately discovered some clues.

This young master of the Miluo Palace should be the direct disciple of the master of the Miluo Palace. His divine arts, paths, and skills walked the path of the master of the Miluo Palace, and his primordial runes were the purest. This could be seen from the rune markings on the door.

This was because all of the rune markings on this door were ultimately a rune, and that was the primordial runes!

The primordial runes were unique. They were arranged in different order and formed different functions.

As for the basic runes of the second young master, third young master, and fourth young master of the Miluo Palace, other than the primordial runes, there were other runes as well. This meant that they weren't disciples of the master of the Miluo Palace, but followers.

The second young master was the most obvious.

The path that the Ruins of End's goddess had taken was the complete opposite of the master of Miluo Palace. She didn't cultivate the Dao of Tree Dao, Flower Dao Fruit, and even didn't agree with the master's actions.

"Big young master must have received the legacy of the master of Miluo Palace. His legacy is the purest, but it's impossible to comprehend his technique from the door."

Qin Mu fell into deep thought. The second young master of Miluo Palace had been suppressed, and the third and fourth young masters controlled the power of Ancestral Court's Jade Capital City. The successors of Miluo Palace followed them.

Where was the eldest young master?

Logically speaking, the Eldest Young Master should have been the successor of the Miluo Palace, so how could he have been seized by the Third and Fourth Young Masters?

Studying this door was very beneficial to him. He was currently cultivating primordial qi, and his vital qi cultivation had yet to recover. There were many insights of big young master hidden in the door, which helped him comprehend more.

Qin Mu cultivated in peace. His two weak calves were also growing slowly, but the speed was slow.

On this day, the earth suddenly shook, and the sky of the Primordial Realm changed drastically. Stars shattered one after another, and the stars of the Primordial Realm were formed by Heaven Duke using the Heavenly Dao precious treasure. The stars shattered, and it was obvious that Ancestral God King had made a move!

For the past two years, Ancestral God King had come to harass the Primordial Realm from time to time, but he was always blocked by Heaven Duke with the Heavenly Dao cardinal treasure. Furthermore, with Celestial Venerable Yue around, Ancestral God King couldn't gain any advantage, so he would usually leave after a single touch without causing much damage.

However, this time, Ancestral God King's attack became incomparably fierce, causing the fifty heaven path treasures to tremble endlessly. Not long later, the sky was torn apart, and a huge face filled the entire sky!

Qin Mu stood up and raised his head to look with a grim expression.

Ancestral God King tore apart the sky screen of the Primordial Realm, and below him, Heaven Duke slowly rose up. He had white eyebrows, white beard, and white robes. His body grew larger as he prepared to fight Ancestral God King in outer space.

On the other side, Celestial Venerable Yue immediately rose and flew into the sky, planning to join forces with Heaven Duke to fight Ancestral God King.

However, the moment Celestial Venerable Yue moved, the ground trembled, and Youdu devil qi suddenly invaded the Primordial Realm. It transformed into a dark whirlpool in the East Sea and spun around!

The celestial river that flowed through the Primordial Realm was also tainted by the devil qi. Countless Youdu monsters and devil gods rushed out from the celestial river, numbering in the millions. They stepped on the sea surface of the East Sea, and wherever they passed, the divine kingdoms at the bottom of the sea were destroyed by these monsters and devil gods!

Youdu monster devil gods dyed the sea black and rushed towards the east coast of Eternal Peace.

Behind the overwhelming number of devil gods and monsters, the Nether River invaded the Primordial Realm, and Celestial Venerable Xu's figure stood behind them!

Qin Fengqing and Celestial Venerable You immediately raised their feet and stomped down heavily. The entire Primordial Realm shook violently, and Youdu appeared, pulling all the Youdu monsters and devil gods into the Primordial Realm Youdu, preventing them from invading the world of the living!

The devil gods and monsters that were rushing towards the east coast of Eternal Peace suddenly missed their target.

The geography of the Primordial Realm's Youdu was exactly the same as the geography of the Primordial Realm. It was two overlapping spaces, and after all these years of development, there were many ghost gods in the Primordial Realm's Youdu. With King Yama leading Fengdu, they led the army to face the devil gods of Youdu.

As the devil gods and monsters ran, huge treasures flew up from the army and flew forward with a roar. They were actually doors.

Those doors landed on the ground and instantly stood tall.

During the battle of Youdu, many devil gods and monsters escaped out of Youdu and escaped to the Primordial Realm and the other worlds. They established ghost territories in the world of the living and formed many powerful forces.

And the place where these doors landed was the location of these Ghost Realms.

After the gate landed on the ground, the devil gods in the ghost realm tried their best to push the gate open!

The army of monsters of Youdu didn't collide with the army of ghost gods of Fengdu. Instead, they tunneled into the gates and poured into the world of the living!

There were too many devil gods and monsters. If they surged into the world of the living, they would definitely bring disaster to the Primordial Realm and cause great destruction!

King Yama was leading his army to fight, and when he saw the situation, he was astonished. He shouted loudly, "Build a bridge! Build a bridge between life and death—"

In the army of Fengdu, flying bridges rose into the sky from the army. One end of the bridges was laid in Fengdu while the other end was placed in the world of the living.

Between life and death was a bridge, a treasure created by First Ancestor Human Emperor Qin Wu. Back then, he had refined this treasure because he missed his deceased wife. He planned to use this treasure to connect the netherworld and the world of the living to meet his wife on the bridge.

After that, his heart was as gray as death, and he abandoned his corporeal body to enter Fengdu to live in seclusion. He was also worried about the matters of the world of the living, so he frequently came out again. Therefore, he left the boundary between life and death in Fengdu and became the only bridge that connected the dead and the living.

After Qin Mu became the human empress, he took out the bridge. Hu Ling'er collected the bridge fees and accumulated the first bucket of gold.

During the time of Eternal Peace's reform, the people of Eternal Peace had understood the principles of life and death and modified them to create many bridges like this. They were also known as Between Life and Death.

At this moment, bridges were erected, and countless ghost gods of Fengdu rushed to the front of life and death, slaughtering their way from Fengdu to the Primordial Realm!

On the other side, Celestial Venerable Xu waved the nether river and swept it over. Wherever the nether river passed by, the bridges between life and death crumbled one after another. Numerous Fengdu ghost gods that were crossing the bridge were swept into fine powder, their primordial spirits shattered and turned into black soul sand!

The long whip of the underworld river swept through everything in its path. However, in the next moment, Qin Fengqing blocked in front of Fengdu and grabbed the long whip, wrapping it around his arm.

Celestial Venerable Xu shook the long whip with force and lifted Qin Fengqing up, sending him towards him.

Her gaze was awe-inspiring as she raised her palm to strike at Qin Fengqing.

Just as her palm was about to land on Qin Fengqing's body, Celestial Venerable You's primordial spirit passed through Qin Fengqing's body, and their palms collided!

Celestial Venerable Xu's hair fluttered, and the primordial spirit behind him expanded to block Celestial Venerable You's attack.

Qin Mu stood on the Surging River Celestial Palace and looked at this scene from afar. He was astonished.

Ling Yuxiu quickly walked to his side and said in a low voice, "Husband, logically, Ancestral God King and Celestial Venerable Xu shouldn't be so careless. They took the initiative to attack the Primordial Realm and didn't cause much damage. Instead, they gave us a chance to kill them."

"They attacked because Celestial Venerable Hao, Mistress Yuanmu, the ancient god of taiji, and the Grand Primordium had arrived."

Qin Mu raised his head to look at the sky and muttered, "Only when they arrive will Ancestral God King and Celestial Venerable Xu have the confidence."

He let out a shaky breath and said, "The ancient gods of Taiji are obstructed by the Grand Primes, and the Grand Primordium can be blocked by Celestial Venerable Yun in the Ultimate Void. Mistress Yuanmu and Celestial Venerable Hao are enough to cause great damage to the Primordial Realm."

Ling Yuxiu was astonished and said, "It's impossible for the army of the celestial heavens to arrive so quickly!"

Qin Mu shook his head and said, "Of course, the celestial heavens' army won't come. They still need over ten years to arrive from the celestial river. Celestial Venerable Hao's action is merely to test the real situation of Eternal Peace and mine."

He looked at Eternal Peace and saw that in the sky above Eternal Peace, huge silver balls suddenly rose up from the city. They dragged long silver flames up into the sky.

The silver ball was formed by a hexagonal mirror that spun continuously. The mirror spread out in all directions like silver mirrors, and hundreds of gods and devils stood on them.

The mirror light shone down to protect the various cities. The gods and devils on the mirror activated all kinds of divine weapons and bombarded downwards to kill the Youdu devil gods and monsters that were rushing towards the various cities of Eternal Peace.

At this moment, the sky suddenly lit up, and a huge sand table appeared in the sky, sticking to the Primordial Realm's world barrier.

It was a taiji sand table, the ultimate treasure of the ancient gods of taiji. It was black and white, and when it rotated slightly, it sliced open the world barrier of the Primordial Realm.

A huge sun took advantage of Heaven Duke's battle with Ancestral God King in outer space to squeeze into the world barrier of the Primordial Realm from the taiji sand table. Flames blazed, turning the sky red!

In that sun, there were Golden Crows flying, dragging a long trail of Golden Crow Sacred Fire as they pulled chariots out of the sun. Hundreds of Golden Crows were dragging hundreds of chariots, and on them were numerous gods of Xuandu!

Those gods and devils stood on the carriage and raised their hands high. In their palms, huge fireballs were like small suns as they smashed towards the Primordial Realm below!

In the god cities of Eternal Peace, huge Sunshot Divine Cannons suddenly rose into the sky, and beams of cannon light streaked across the sky. The sky above the Primordial Realm flashed with dazzling light, shattering the golden crows and the war chariots!

Boom!

Another violent tremor came, and another huge sun squeezed into the Primordial Realm. Following that, the world barrier in the Primordial Realm shook continuously, and even more huge suns emerged.

Countless golden crows pulled their chariots and rushed towards the Primordial Realm!

At this moment, the 33 heavens of Carefree Village floated in the sky, and countless gods of Founding Emperor Era rushed into the sky to fight the gods of Xuandu.

The main army of the celestial heavens had yet to arrive. Just the army of Xuandu and Youdu was enough to make the gods and devils of the Primordial Realm feel exhausted.

If the main force of the celestial heavens' army rushed over, the power of the Primordial Realm might not be able to block the first wave of attacks.

Qin Mu tilted his head and said to Ling Yuxiu, "Madam, leave this place as soon as possible and head to Eternal Peace to help. I'm afraid we can't protect this place."

Ling Yuxiu hurriedly returned to the palace and shouted, "Village Chief, Grandpa Butcher, let's go to Eternal Peace!"

Village Chief and the rest were already prepared and smiled. "We indeed can't interfere in the battle of the Celestial Venerables. Let's go!"

"Mu'er, be careful!" Granny Si instructed.

Qin Mu waved his hand and watched them leave the Surging River Celestial Palace. He then returned to the celestial palace and sat in the lotus position in front of the Numinous Sky Hall.

After a moment, Qin Mu smiled. "Celestial Venerable Hao."

Celestial Emperor Hao walked out from the main gate of the Surging River Celestial Palace and looked around. He said leisurely, "This is such a peaceful place to retire. However, the people living here aren't willing to give up and want to rebel. Celestial Venerable Mu, you have disappointed me."

Qin Mu watched him walk closer and saw Mistress Yuanmu walking out from his shadow behind Celestial Venerable Hao. She had a smile on her face. "Little enemy, we meet again."

Her gaze landed on the legs of Qin Mu who was sitting on the ground. She saw Qin Mu wearing the pants of a baby, his short legs, and the shoes of a baby on his feet. She couldn't help laughing in astonishment. "Little enemy, you are getting younger!"

Qin Mu smiled slightly, and the Numinous Sky Hall behind him suddenly opened up. Celestial Venerable Ling was buried in a sea of scrolls, writing furiously.

Celestial Venerable Ling raised her head, threw her brush, and stood up.
