Tales of Herding Gods
Chapter 1695: Another Ten Celestial Venerables

"Spirit Official Hall Master's corporeal body is too ancient, and every part of his corporeal body has already cultivated to the ancient gods. If such a person suddenly transforms into thirty top-notch ancient gods when your battlefield is in a stalemate and kills your general, how will you deal with it?"

Celestial Venerable Yun picked up the white pieces and continuously placed them into Qin Mu's chessboard. "Thirty of them, their abilities are close to those of Heaven Duke and Earth Count. If they suddenly appear in the various battlefields, it's enough to overturn the situation. All the generals, who can resist them?"

Qin Mu frowned slightly and looked at the chessboard.

The Spirit Official Hall Master's cultivation method was extremely peculiar. He had also noticed this point. When he and Shang Jun killed the Spirit Official Hall Master, every part of this hall master's corporeal body was like a living ancient god. Even if he was chopped into dozens of pieces by Shang Jun, he could still move independently.

When Shang Jun joined forces with him, they only destroyed his Dao Tree and prevented him from achieving the Dao in this universe.

In the end, it was Qin Mu who planned to use his supreme sword path and Dao technique to break one of his Dao fruits and break his head.

In the past few days, he didn't know if Hall Master Ling Guan had deciphered the remnant Dao injuries of his sword path and restored his head. Even if he could, he wouldn't be able to cultivate his new head to the same level as before.

"Hall Master Ling Guan still has two Dao Fruits and one Dao Flower, which is equivalent to three Dao cultivators. The power of three Dao cultivators is comparable to thirty top ancient gods."

Qin Mu stared at Celestial Venerable Yun's chessboard. The chess pieces they were playing didn't have a straight line. Instead, they were playing in the air. What was even more peculiar was that this chessboard seemed to have no rules. It could play a few pieces whenever it wanted.

For example, when Celestial Venerable Yun said that Hall Master Ling Guan could transform into thirty Celestial Venerables, he would place thirty pieces on the two sides of the dragon heads of the huge dragons that were scattered around Qin Mu's chessboard, ready to behead them.

"None of the four deities of the ancient gods are spared. The four great heavenly teachers of Carefree Village, the four great heavenly kings, are all beheaded! The new master of the Beast World, Long Pi, Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor, Jiang Baigui, Heavenly Saint Cult Master Wei Suifeng, Emperor Yanfeng, Gongsun Yan, First Ancestor Human Emperor, Crimson Light, Goddess of Heavenly Yin, Qin Fengqing, Heaven Duke, and Ah Chou, these forces will all be destroyed one by one with the addition of Hall Master Spirit Official!"

Celestial Venerable Yun placed another stone down and said, "Celestial Venerable Hao still has some energy left. He can also send another stone to the side of the Ancestral Court World Tree to kill Xu Shenghua! Xu Shenghua is broken, and the prehistoric strong practitioners have invaded. There's no end to them."

Qin Mu shook his head. "Celestial Emperor Hao won't do that."

"But Hall Master Ling Guan will do that."

Celestial Venerable Yun said, "The Hall Master of the Spirit Official Hall is the Hall Master of the Ancestral Court's Jade Capital City. He helped Emperor Hao Tian because he was thinking about the Ancestral Court Jade Capital City so that it would be convenient for the Dao Achievement practitioners of the Jade Capital City to descend. When the Dao Achievement practitioners are unable to descend, opening the passage to the Great Black Mountain World Tree and allowing the prehistoric stowaways to descend would help him succeed."

Qin Mu said, "The people who stole from the roots of the World Tree and the people from the Jade Capital City of the ancestral court are not from the same power. There are even grudges between them."

Celestial Venerable Yun said, "However, to the Jade Capital City of the ancestral court, these stowaways can be used. The appearance of these people can speed up the descent of those who have achieved the Dao in the Jade Capital City. Meanwhile, Celestial Emperor Hao is waiting for you to open up the battlefield so that all of your enemies will be exposed. Then, he will catch all the strong practitioners on your side in one fell swoop! Therefore, he will definitely use this move of Hall Master Ling Guan! If he uses it, it will definitely be a lightning strike that will catch you off guard!"

Qin Mu looked at the chessboard. The piece of Carefree Village that he had laid out—South Sea, West Earth, Northern Frontier, Beast World, and Eternal Peace—the dragon capital of the huge dragons were all tightly restrained. There was no way to find a way out.

Although Shang Jun was strong, it was difficult for him to transform into thirty Heavenly Venerate level existences to protect the generals.

Qin Mu also didn't have such a method.

If Celestial Venerable Hao and Celestial Venerable Yun had said so, Eternal Peace would only have Qin Mu, Celestial Venerable Yun, Celestial Venerable You, Celestial Venerable Yue, and Lang Wo left. They wouldn't have the power to fight the celestial heavens!

How to break the situation had become his biggest problem.

"My battle lines are spread too far. West Earth, Northern Frontier, Southern Sea, South Heaven, Carefree Village, and the Ancestral Court World Tree are too long. If these battle lines are gathered and the enemies there are eliminated, they will shrink back and only concentrate on Carefree Village."

Qin Mu moved the chessboard and said, "If Hall Master Ling Guan transforms into ancient gods to kill the leaders of the various armies, we can support him at any time. We can even lay an ambush and kill Hall Master Ling Guan. In that case, can we resolve this situation?"

Celestial Venerable Yun shook his head. "Now, the four ancient god emperors have all been mobilized. South Deity Zhu Que, North Deity Xuan Wu, East Deity Qing Long, and West Deity White Tiger have all appeared. Dragon Xiao of the Beast World was also killed by Little Earth Count, and Dragon Pi took over. To Emperor Hao Tian, the enemies have all appeared. This is the best time for him to reel in the net."

Cold sweat broke out on Qin Mu's forehead, and the back of his neck was also covered in cold sweat. He suddenly smiled and said, "Emperor Clear Sky shouldn't have such high intelligence, right?"

"To predict the enemy's weakness."

Celestial Venerable Yun had a calm expression as he said, "Back then, I also thought that Celestial Emperor Hao didn't have such high intelligence, but I lost. I underestimated his crown prince, Xie Wuqi, and I died miserably. I underestimated his ancient Celestial Emperor, and I died miserably. I, who underestimated him, also died miserably."

Qin Mu laughed loudly, but more sweat poured out.

"I have a plan that can break Emperor Hao Tian's chess game."

Celestial Venerable Yun looked at him and said, "I can help you block Second Young Master, Celestial Venerable You can block Celestial Venerable Xu, Celestial Venerable Yue can block Ancestral God King, Taishi can block the ancient god of taiji, Lang Wo can block the Grand Primordium, and Shang Jun can kill Mistress Yuanmu. In this way, there will be no more Daoists around Celestial Emperor Hao, no more obstacles. If you kill him, the outcome will be decided!"

Qin Mu looked straight at him and said with a hoarse voice, "At that time, Emperor Hao Tian was indeed dead. However, the four deities of the ancient gods, Di Yiyue, Tian Shu, Sakra, Green Emperor, Woodcutter, Scholar, Fisherman, Dragon Pi, Jiang Baigui, Wei Suifeng, Emperor Yanfeng, Gongsun Yan, First Ancestor, Crimson Emperor Ming Huang, Goddess of Heavenly Yin, Qin Fengqing, Heaven Duke, Ah Chou! All of them are dead!"

The more he spoke, the faster he spoke. In the end, he coldly said, "Lang Wo went to kill Grand Primordium, but she was also going to die! Lang Wo has the strongest consciousness aside from you. If Grand Primordium kills her and obtains her consciousness, he might be able to achieve the Grand Primordium Dao. Therefore, he will definitely go, and Lang Wo will definitely die! And you will also die! What's the use of this victory?"

"It's useful!"

Celestial Venerable Yun stood up. "Once Emperor Hao Tian dies, the group will be leaderless! Celestial Venerable Xu and Ancestral God King won't have the ability to control the huge power of the celestial heavens, and the celestial heavens won't submit to the Hall Master of the Spirit Official Hall! At that time, you will still have Celestial Venerable You and Celestial Venerable Yue by your side, and you will also have Celestial Venerable Yu of Lan Yutian by your side. You will also have Shang Jun by your side, and you will have a great reputation after killing Emperor Hao Tian! At that time, the celestial heavens will fall into your hands!"

He messed up the chessboard and took a step forward. "Celestial Venerable Mu is the Celestial Venerable of Impartation. Your reputation is even higher than that of Celestial Venerable Yu of Lan Yutian! Celestial Venerable Mu, who has let go of all restraints, will be an invincible existence. You will kill the Spirit Official Hall Master, Celestial Venerable Xu, and Ancestral God King. In the entire universe, there will be no one who can match you! Above the ruins, you can rebuild Eternal Peace and mold this world into what you imagine it to be!"

Qin Mu sat down dejectedly and shook his head. "If so, I would be all alone…"

Celestial Venerable Yun revealed a smile. "That's right. You might not be able to revive us, and you might become a widow. However, these sacrifices are worth it. For a million years, we have been yearning for a true revolution, a true reform, and to fulfill our wishes and fulfill our ambitions!"

He couldn't help becoming excited. He walked around Qin Mu and laughed loudly. "And you will help us realize all of this! Therefore, these sacrifices are worth it! Celestial Venerable Mu, we can win this round! As long as you treat us as sacrifices for Eternal Peace's reform, you can win!"

"If you hesitate, you will lose! Emperor Hao Tian won't give you the chance to hesitate!"

He placed his hands on Qin Mu's shoulders, and Qin Mu sat there in a daze. His excited voice echoed in his ears. "A million years of dreams, close at hand! Celestial Venerable Mu, don't hesitate anymore! We are willing to become your sacrificial offerings for this battle!"

Qin Mu was silent.

"West Deity White Tiger, North Deity Xuan Wu, they have descended with their ancestral land. This is the time for Celestial Emperor Hao to make his move!"

Celestial Venerable Yun shook his shoulders forcefully and said solemnly, "Brother Mu, I know Emperor Hao Tian too well. He will definitely make a move! If you hesitate, you will lose everything! There's no need to hesitate anymore. Give the order to make a move!"

Qin Mu clenched his fists and raised his head to look at his excited face. Unknowingly, tears rolled down his cheeks and wetted his white hair. He said hoarsely, "Celestial Venerable Yun, you are forcing me to become another you, another Celestial Venerable Yun, Celestial Emperor Yun! This isn't me, it's not me…"

"But we can win!"

Celestial Venerable Yun's eyes were bright. "Do you have a better way to break out of this situation? Do you have any other way to stop the Hall Master? Make up your mind, Celestial Venerable Mu! Time waits for no man!"

Qin Mu stared at the pieces scattered on the ground.

If good people wanted to defeat bad people, they could only be more unscrupulous than bad people. However, at that time, would good people still be good people?

He had defeated the ten Celestial Venerables and Celestial Emperor Hao. At that time, he would be a loner sitting on the throne of Celestial Emperor. He would become the new ten Celestial Venerables, right?

He clenched his fists. What was the point of Eternal Peace's reform?

What was the meaning of the Dragon Han Revolution, Crimson Light Revolution, High Emperor's reform, and Founding Emperor's reform?

He looked at the chess pieces, and in a daze, he saw that his body was covered in dragon scales. Sharp claws and teeth grew out, and his face was sinister.

Qin Mu stood up and walked to the edge of the Clear Sky Realm. Over there, the army of the celestial heavens was mobilizing. The celestial heavens was ready to start the final battle against Carefree Village!

Behind Qin Mu, Celestial Venerable Yun walked over and said solemnly, "Celestial Venerable Mu, have you decided? Spirit Official Hall Master should be mobilized!"

Qin Mu said in a low voice, "Yun, do you think Celestial Venerable Hao will separate from second young master?"

Celestial Venerable Yun was stunned.

In the main camp of the celestial heavens, Celestial Emperor Hao looked up and smiled when he saw the phenomenon that was formed when West Deity White Tiger and North Deity Black Tortoise descended.

Behind him, Hall Master Ling Guan gave a low shout, and his corporeal body suddenly split into pieces. When he landed on the ground, he transformed into ancient gods of all shapes and sizes with incomparably powerful auras!

"Hall Master, I'll leave it to you." Emperor Hao Tian smiled.

The ancient gods suddenly transformed into beams of light that flew in all directions!

On the border between Eternal Peace and the sea of the southern sea, there was a Jade Cliff Mountain Range. The people of Eternal Peace had built Jade Cliff Pass here.

Jade Cliff Pass was incomparably steep, like a smooth cliff that blocked the waves of the sea.

First Ancestor Human Emperor Qin Wu led the army of Eternal Peace led by the past human emperors to camp at Jade Cliff Pass.

On the surface of the sea in front of Jade Cliff Pass, meteors suddenly fell one after another and smashed into the sea, raising huge waves that overflowed into the sky. The waves connected to the sky and roared as they surged towards Jade Cliff Pass!

Behind the waves were the remnants of the thirty-ninth Marquis of the South-Heaven Army of the celestial heavens. They followed behind the waves like blazing flames on the surface of the sea, surging towards Jade Cliff Pass!

Flames surged in the sky, and countless flaming meteors were like raindrops, dragging long flaming tails and thick smoke as they smashed towards Jade Cliff Pass!

"It's not easy to turn the world around."

First Ancestor Human Emperor stood on the jade cliff and crossed his hands. He slowly moved, and his divine art burst forth. Instantly, the sky was filled with flaming meteors and overflowing waves that swirled in the distorted space. They moved backward and rushed towards the remnants of the various marquises of South Heaven!

Even though the defeated soldiers along the way were defeated by South Deity Zhu Que, Red Deity Qi Xiayu, and the rest, the formation wasn't chaotic. The cultivation of the generals of the various armies was very high, and the formation was well organized. They immediately gave their orders, but when they saw the formation operating, the huge waves were split apart, and the flaming meteors that filled the sky were extinguished!

The commander of the thirty-ninth army led everyone out from the split waves and shouted, "Who are you?"

"Founding Emperor Qin Clan, the First Human Emperor Qin Wu!"
