Tales of Herding Gods - Chapter 1244
Chapter 1244 – Ruined
When Bai Yujing heard that, her eyes widened in confusion and fear. At the same time, she felt sour in her heart.
What confused her was that she didn’t expect so many ambitious and ruthless people of the ancient primordial era to be hidden among the high and mighty ten Celestial Venerables.
What she was afraid of was that she actually knew so many secrets. Even though Qin Mu had yet to reveal the true identities of these people, from her understanding of Qin Mu, he loved to play with people’s hearts and make them despair. She had no choice but to make a choice that was beneficial to him and join his camp.
On the other hand, the sorrow in her heart was due to the hard work of generations. She felt that she had finally overthrown the ancient gods and the old era. Never did she expect that the ruler of the past would only change his face and still sit on the throne of the ruler!
“Hehe…” The girl smiled and lowered her head.
This was the first time she felt that the world she saw was so fake and unsightly.
There was a ball of fire in her heart that she wanted to burn, but she couldn’t.
“Is Celestial Venerable Huo also transformed from the ruler of the past?” she asked.
Qin Mu shook his head. “No. Celestial Venerable Huo is still Celestial Venerable Huo. He hasn’t been possessed by anyone, nor has he been borrowed. Celestial Venerable Huo is just…”
He was silent for a moment before saying bitterly, “He chose to become the ruler like the Ancient Gods, but he didn’t realize this himself.”
Bai Yujing’s eyes revealed hope again. Qin Mu saw it and said, “Don’t have too much anticipation for Celestial Venerable Huo. The greater the anticipation, the greater the disappointment. Celestial Venerable Yun, Light Emperor, Celestial Venerable Ling, Celestial Venerable Yue, and Founding Emperor are all disappointed.”
A long time ago, in the Guardian Pavilion of the celestial heavens, Celestial Venerable Huo had rushed to the top floor of the Guardian Pavilion. Qin Mu had escaped into Youdu, and Celestial Venerable Huo was preparing to capture him. It was Celestial Venerable You who had stopped him.
At that time, Celestial Venerable You told him that Celestial Venerable Huo had changed. He was no longer the Celestial Venerable Huo of the past and couldn’t be trusted.
Trusting him would kill him.
However, at that time, Qin Mu was still full of anticipation for Celestial Venerable Huo. He felt that it was just Celestial Venerable You’s prejudice.
It wasn’t until later that Qin Mu felt that Celestial Venerable You’s words had a reason. After returning from Southern Heaven, his heart was like dead ashes to Celestial Venerable Huo.
He didn’t want Bai Yujing to follow in his footsteps.
From being filled with hope to utter despair, he deeply experienced the impact and torment of this difference on his Dao heart.
Bai Yujing silently watched the battle outside and changed the topic. She said worriedly, “Celestial Venerable Hao is probably going to lose. The Grand Emperor is too strong.”
Qin Mu didn’t want to continue this topic, so he smiled and said, “In that case, you are wrong. The Grand Emperor is going to lose, and Celestial Venerable Hao is too strong.”
Bai Yujing was puzzled.
“Actually, the Grand Emperor is here on my invitation to stop Celestial Venerable Hao.”
Qin Mu smiled and said, “You know that even though I’m Celestial Venerable Mu of the Heaven Alliance and a founding elder, I’m also a traitor of the Anti-Heaven Alliance. As long as it’s useful, I will definitely make use of it. That’s why I used the Grand Primordium Origin Stone to ask the Grand Emperor to stop Celestial Venerable Hao. However, my goal is to make both of them suffer. It would be even better if we could perish together. However, even though I think the Grand Emperor is very strong, Celestial Venerable Hao’s true strength has never been revealed.”
His gaze was far-reaching as he looked at the soul-stirring battle. He said unhurriedly, “The other reason I asked the Grand Emperor to make a move was to find out exactly how high Celestial Venerable Hao’s upper limit was. Didn’t you notice? Celestial Venerable Hao has always been calm. He still hasn’t revealed his true strength.”
Bai Yujing looked at Celestial Venerable Hao and saw that even though Celestial Venerable Hao was at a disadvantage, he was still as calm as before.
Meanwhile, his divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu had already been severely injured by the Grand Emperor. The power of the Grand Emperor was too strong, and the divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu’s corporeal body was in tatters!
Even the celestial palace of the divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu was destroyed by the Grand Emperor’s powerful attack!
Qin Mu said, “Celestial Venerable Hao’s celestial palace and the divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu’s celestial palace are both 28 in number. However, even though the number of celestial palaces is the same, the types of celestial palaces are different. If you identify each celestial palace carefully, you can discover the types of celestial palaces of Celestial Venerable Hao and the divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu, adding up to 35 types!”
Bai Yujing’s heart jumped, and she carefully observed the types of celestial palaces of Celestial Venerable Hao and the divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu.
The types of celestial palaces couldn’t be classified according to Emperor’s Throne techniques. Some Emperor’s Throne techniques were actually of the same type. For example, fire type Emperor’s Throne techniques. Other than Celestial Venerable Huo’s techniques, there were also Red Deity Qi Xiayu’s techniques, former Red Deity’s techniques, and even sky fire type techniques.
However, these techniques were all the same. If one wanted to cultivate the Great Celestial Heavens, they could only choose one.
However, Celestial Venerable Hao and the divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu’s Emperor’s Throne techniques didn’t repeat many types. There were indeed 35 types according to the types!
“In other words, Celestial Venerable Hao might have fused thirty-five Emperor’s Throne techniques. He’s only a step away from the Celestial Heavens Realm.”
Qin Mu continued, “He was calm because he had the power to fight the Grand Emperor. He wasn’t far from the true Celestial Heavens Realm, so he didn’t use his full power to lure out the Grand Emperor’s identity among the ten Celestial Venerables. He knew Heavenly Lady Qiang was nearby, and his goal was to lure her out.”
Bai Yujing’s voice was slightly hoarse. “With Heavenly Lady Qiang and the Grand Emperor, Celestial Venerable Hao has no chance of winning! Furthermore, Celestial Venerable Qiang has the divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu…”
“You’re wrong.”
Qin Mu said calmly, “It has been a million years since Celestial Venerable Yu established the Celestial Heavens Realm. Celestial Venerable Hao is the true mastermind. He occupies the orthodoxy of the celestial heavens, and all the techniques in the world are gathered in his hands. If he wants Celestial Venerable Huo’s technique, would Celestial Venerable Huo dare to not give it to him? If he wants God Emperor Lang Xuan’s technique, would God Emperor Lang Xuan dare to not give it to him? Thus, Celestial Venerable Hao is the one closest to the celestial heavens.”
He took a glance at Lan Yutian and continued, “Celestial Venerable Yu was the one who deduced that there was such a realm in the Celestial Heavens Realm. However, Celestial Venerable Yu only told Celestial Venerable Hao about this realm and no one else. Celestial Venerable Hao was the only one who knew Celestial Venerable Yu’s thoughts, and he was even the only one who knew the details of the Celestial Heavens Realm. Even if there was only one celestial palace, Celestial Venerable Hao’s abilities wouldn’t be weaker than the Grand Emperor’s. He might even be stronger!”
Bai Yujing shook her head in disbelief. “I’ve also heard of that Celestial Venerable Yu. Before he died, he could only cultivate to the realm of venerable gods. How could he possibly deduce the entire realm of the celestial heavens?”
Qin Mu then looked at Lan Yutian who was entering the path and said, “He might have only been at the god realm back then, but he went from nothing to deduce the seven realms of god, true god, Jade Pavilion, God Execution Stage, Jade Capital, Numinous Sky, and Emperor’s Throne. On top of that, he even deduced the Celestial Heavens Realm.”
Bai Yujing shook her head. “How could there be such a person?”
“This kind of person is right beside you.” Qin Mu didn’t say this out loud.
The current Lan Yutian was also accomplishing an even more astonishing feat by himself. The impact on the future generations even surpassed the system of divine treasures and celestial palaces!
He looked at the battlefield and said solemnly, “Celestial Venerable Hao is going to show his power and force Heavenly Lady Qiang to show herself!”
