Tales of Herding Gods

Chapter 966: The Temptation of the Fish

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lian Huahun and Yun Chuxiu were both shocked and bewildered. Although they were one realm away from Qin Mu, the difference in their power was way too big!

The bodies that they were inhabiting were in the Divine Bridge Realm and hadn’t crossed through the Southern Heavenly Gate. Qin Mu was already a god, making him one realm higher than them.

In the past, they had killed plenty of true gods who were two realms above them, much less gods that were one realm above them.

For example, Lian Huahun had massacred the disciples that Celestial Venerable Hao had sent to the Great Void to protect the secrets of the 18 ways to kill Mu, and those disciples were all at the true god realm.

They were Celestial Venerables, while “Lian Huahun” and “Yun Chuxiu” were clones that they used to roam the human world for pleasure. Despite this, gods and true gods weren’t able to match up to their clones because, after all, they still had their worldly knowledge and experience.

Yet, for Qin Mu, being one realm higher than them was equivalent to being one level of heaven above them! Qin Mu stood beyond the heavens while they remained on the ground. Even the remaining 18 ways to kill Mu were unable to reach him, and they were unable to unleash their powers!

From when Lian Huahun started her attack until both sisters got caught, neither of them had actually managed to land a blow on Qin Mu. Qin Mu hadn’t dodged and didn’t break through their techniques and divine arts, he had merely released his vital qi to shield himself from their attacks.

After Qin Mu flung the two of them onto the ground, he immediately closed the eye between his brows. His dreamscape continued on, and there were still countless teeny tiny Qin Mus tunneling about Mistress Yuanmu’s corporeal body, measuring it and recording the runes of the Ruins of End.

Lian Huahun and Yun Chuxiu had their cultivation sealed off by him, and they laid on the ground, unable to move an inch.

Yun Chuxiu blinked her eyes and suddenly said, “Divine Knife Luo, what are you doing in a daze? Are you not going to hurry over to kill that rebel Qin Mu and then help me up?”

Luo Wushuang pretended not to hear, but he felt some unease in his heart.

These two were two of the ten Celestial Venerables. Now that he had directly gone against their orders, he would definitely be labeled a rebellious traitor, and he would never be able to take it off for the rest of his life.

‘I wonder how Qin Mu will deal with the clones of Celestial Empress and Mistress Yuanmu.’

Luo Wushuang still felt uncomfortable. ‘Overlord Body Qin seems to have some other ambiguous thoughts about these two women. He will probably spare their lives on account of their beauty. Just now, the way he looked at these two women was a little off! These two must die. Otherwise, when they leave the Great Void, their true bodies will be able to learn everything that has happened within the Great Void!’

The Great Void and the celestial heavens were two different worlds, so everything that Lian Huahun and Yun Chuxiu had experienced here wouldn’t be sensed by the true bodies of Celestial Empress and Mistress Yuanmu. However, once they were within the same world, they would be able to obtain Lian Huahun and Yun Chuxiu’s memories.

If that happened, Celestial Empress and Mistress Yuanmu definitely wouldn’t spare Qin Mu and Luo Wushuang, they would eliminate both of them no matter what!

‘If Overlord Body Qin has tender, protective feelings towards these two exceptional beauties and cannot bear to kill them, then, I will personally take my knife and chop off their heads!’

Knife rays sparkled within Luo Wushuang’s eyes. Yun Chuxiu was a peerless beauty, and her every frown, smile, and action were extremely bewitching. Lian Huahun was another rare beauty. It was to the point that normal men would find it very difficult to resist the seduction of these two women.

It was only understandable that Qin Mu would be charmed by the two of them.

Yet, Luo Wushuang was different.

He was obsessed with knives, the knife being the most beautiful woman in his eyes. Before his knife techniques were prim and proper, they were rigid and always abided by the rules. Only a Dao heart as strong as his would be able to allow him to ignore the appearances of these two beauties and attack them without mercy.

Qin Mu entered his dreams, while those tiny Qin Mus were busy exchanging their findings noisily in his dreamscape. The speed at which they were studying Mistress Yuanmu’s corporeal body was very fast.

The type of measurement he did was different from what the celestial heavens’ Dao Sect did.

When the celestial heavens’ Dao Sect measured the ancient gods, they had to measure and map out all of the Great Dao runes of the ancient gods and then measure the structure of the corporeal body of these ancient gods, recording even the smallest detail of the Great Dao of the ancient gods and analyzing every single secret within.

In comparison, he merely organized the fundamental runes on Mistress Yuanmu’s body. It was sufficient for him that these fundamental runes were organized.

Despite being very interested in the Great Dao of the Ruins of End, to measure and map out the complete Great Dao of the Ruins of End would take up far too much time. With him alone, even through entering his dreams, he would need at least thousands of years to reach that step.

Qin Mu’s goal was merely to develop the Ruins of End in his own Spirit Embryo Divine Treasure. He would be able to achieve this from gaining an understanding of the fundamental runes of the Ruins of End.

Of course, if he were able to obtain the detailed data of Mistress Yuanmu’s corporeal body and the rune arrangements of the Ruins of End Great Dao, it would be extremely beneficial towards him perfecting the Ruins of End within the Spirit Embryo Divine Treasure.

Thus, he intended to let the Eternal Peace divine arts practitioners and gods and devils who were adept in algebra complete the detailed mapping and measurement of Mistress Yuanmu’s corporeal body and the Great Dao of the Ruins of End.

After some time, Qin Mu woke up from his dream-state, and the dreamscape was destroyed.

He once again stored Mistress Yuanmu’s crystal coffin into his third eye. Then, he looked towards Yun Chuxiu and Lian Huahun. The two girls laid on the ground with alluring figures, and it was indescribably seductive.

Lian Huahun was ice-cold. Upon noticing his gaze, her body froze up, but it was still alluring.

Yun Chuxiu, on the other hand, was more open about it. She even purposely made all sorts of seductive poses, biting on her lower lip as she giggled. “Celestial Venerable, us sisters can’t move about right now. What does Celestial Venerable intend to do to us?”

Qin Mu’s heart stirred, and he laughed. “Celestial Empress and Mistress Yuanmu are both so mischievous. Naturally, I will have to put you across my knee and beat your bottoms.”

Lian Huahun’s face was pale white, while Yun Chuxiu wriggled her body about the ground as she giggled. “Come, come and beat my bottom!”

She was like a fish that had come out of the water, and one couldn’t help themselves from wanting to leap forward to grab her.

Although Qin Mu knew that it was inappropriate, he couldn’t control himself and had the urge to leap forward and grab hold of her. Though, he had some hesitation in his heart. ‘I can’t spare Celestial Empress and Mistress Yuanmu...’

However, to strike them down mercilessly, he couldn’t help but hesitate a little.

At this very moment, a knife ray flashed past, and Luo Wushuang had cut Yun Chuxiu in two!

Qin Mu was startled.

Luo Wushuang raised his knife again and cut through Lian Huahun as well. He wiped away the bloodstains on his knife and said with a darkened expression, “Celestial Venerable Mu isn’t even two years old right now, but these two demons actually dare to seduce Celestial Venerable. Their crimes deserve a thousand deaths.”

Qin Mu looked at the corpses of the beauties on the ground, the corners of his eyes twitching as he glanced at Luo Wushuang.

Luo Wushuang continued without any expression, “Celestial Venerable’s Dao heart is stable and definitely wouldn’t have been seduced by these two demonesses. I have made an unnecessary move. However, these two demonesses belittled Celestial Venerable, and I couldn’t help but take out my knife to uphold Celestial Venerable’s reputation. I seek Celestial Venerable’s forgiveness.”

Qin Mu mumbled, “Brother Luo, there’s no need for this, you can just call me Cult Master Qin. You were right, these two demonesses dared seduce me... I’m skilled in the technique of creation, if I reconnect their bodies, perhaps they may be revived...”

Green veins appeared on Luo Wushuang’s forehead, and his remaining hand pressed onto the hilt of his knife as his veins popped out one after the other. He reminded Qin Mu, “Cult Master Qin, the goal of our journey isn’t to revive these two demonesses, it’s to cross the Void Bridge. Cult Master Qin, please do hurry and visualize the Paramita Ark!”

Qin Mu looked at Luo Wushuang’s hand, which gripped onto his knife, and laughed. “Brother Luo, don’t worry, I’m not a muddle-headed person, and I won’t be seduced by beauty. I only wish to revive them so I can uncover their Great Celestial Heavens techniques, I definitely don’t have any ulterior motives! Since Brother Luo is suspicious of me, then I’ll go and visualize the Paramita Ark so that we can hurry up and leave this place!”

He looked at the corpses of the two beauties on the ground again and sighed in pity. ‘It’s still possible to use creation techniques to revive them... what a pity that Luo Wushuang, this stubborn man, is too fierce!’

Luo Wushuang noticed his gaze and immediately stepped forward and threw the corpses of the two women into the void.

Qin Mu left with a black face, feeling extremely indignant. ‘I’m also not a muddle-headed and lecherous man like the ancient Celestial Emperor. Is there any need to guard against me like that? I merely have a heart that loves beautiful things, as everyone does. Even if I revived them, I wouldn’t have any ulterior thoughts. At most, I would just flirt with them a little!’

Yun Chuxiu and Lian Huahun had already been minced by the destructive void beyond the Void Bridge. He no longer had any other thoughts, and he started to make use of the Ruins of End runes to try and evolve the Ruins of End abyss within his Spirit Embryo Divine Treasure.

His system of cultivation was unique. Everyone else’s system of divine treasures and celestial palaces had a layered relationship where every level was higher than the other. Yet, he only had a single divine treasure while he had about fourteen celestial palaces.

What was most crucial was that his celestial palaces were built within his Spirit Embryo Divine Treasure. It wasn’t like that of other divine arts practitioners and gods and devils, whose celestial palaces existed way beyond the skies.

Thus, it was relatively easier for Qin Mu to make changes to the structures of his Spirit Embryo Divine Treasure.

Very soon, he had created and formed the abyss of the Ruins of End, which transformed into the taiji string of the taiji diagram. The celestial river flowed down from the taiji string into Youdu, which was at the bottom of the diagram, transforming into the ghost river.

Although his Ruins of End abyss was very crude, it had connected Youdu, Xuandu, and Yuandu, instantly giving Qin Mu the feeling of his vital qi becoming continuous and inexhaustible!

In creating the Ruins of End and connecting the three worlds, although his cultivation didn’t increase by much, he could utilize his vital qi and consciousness much faster now. Thus, the process of visualizing the Paramita Ark was a lot smoother.

Very soon, he had managed to visualize the general outline of the Paramita Ark. It was just that it required an immense amount of consciousness. At his level of consciousness cultivation, he had exhausted all of it after visualizing the outline.

Qin Mu furrowed his brows. He made use of the time he was recovering his consciousness to enter his dreams and transform into countless teeny tiny Qin Mus to do calculations on how he could fuse the Grand Overarching Supreme Consciousness and the Overlord Body Three Elixir Technique.

The process of fusing the Grand Overarching Supreme Consciousness was also the process of countless small Qin Mus dying in various ways within his dream. It was extremely tedious.

However, the Boundless Calamity Sutra of Brahma Buddha was precisely such a technique where one would be able to fail countless times until one eventually figured out the perfect technique.

When Qin Mu finally fused the Grand Overarching Supreme Consciousness and once again utilized the Overlord Body Three Elixir Technique to visualize the Paramita Ark, it was a lot less tedious.

The details of the Paramita Ark took shape gradually. Qin Mu rested dozens of times, slowly completing this enormous ark.

Days passed by one after the other. Luo Wushuang’s wounds healed completely, and he went to find Qin Mu, only to see a large ship that was dozens of miles in length that had been visualized by Qin Mu. He couldn’t help but feel incredibly shaken.

The Paramita Ark was an amalgamation of intelligence during the Founding Emperor Era. Two such arks had been built. One of them was flown by Founding Emperor and the strong individuals of the thirty-three heavens of the Founding Emperor Celestial Heavens under him, and it had headed towards Carefree Village.

The other Paramita Ark was forged by Sakra Li Youran along with the Heavenly Works God Race. He had intended to lead his remaining followers and head to Carefree Village, but they were attacked by enemies, and the ark was destroyed in the Great Ruins.

The Celestial Venerables within the celestial heavens also wanted to fix the ark, but its structure was really too complicated. Without a blueprint, there was no possibility of fixing it, and thus they could only leave it as it was.

Yet, at present, Qin Mu had actually visualized a Paramita Ark all by himself!

Even if this ark was countless times smaller than the real Paramita Ark, one couldn’t help but gasp in admiration about the wondrousness and greatness of the masters of creation. The ability to make use of one’s consciousness to visualize and forge an enormous ark that was of dozen of miles in length was incredible.

Finally, Qin Mu had visualized and formed the final component of the Paramita Ark.

On the hull of the Paramita Ark, a rune lit up, and following it, the billions of other runes on the hull lit up one after the other. The ark gradually floated up into mid-air, resembling a small-scale piece of land!

“Little Buddy Qin, you are already considered a master of creation.”

From Qin Mu’s mind, Shu Jun’s voice traveled over as he said sentimentally, “In the primordial era, there weren’t many masters of creation who were able to visualize and create such a complicated divine weapon. There were countless masters of creation who surpassed you in the attainments of consciousness, but there was only a handful who were able to visualize such a large and complex divine weapon. Your ability to make use of consciousness so wonderfully already surpasses your predecessors.”

“Many thanks to Dao Brother Shu Jun for your compliments.”

Qin Mu boarded the enormous ark that he had visualized and went to the ship’s bridge.

Luo Wushuang followed after him. Qin Mu took out the star compass that Village Chief had given to him and wore a complicated look on his face. After a short while, he swiped it with his hand. All sorts of sword pictures emerged on the star compass, and they were all noisily broken through by him!

Village Chief’s seal ceased to exist.

Qin Mu composed himself and locked the star compass onto the compass of the Paramita Ark.

The massive ark trembled with rumbling noises and gradually adjusted its course, sailing towards the sacrificial altar on the Void Bridge.

“Carefree Village.”

Qin Mu looked towards the Void Bridge with a smile across his face, yet his gaze was filled with complex emotions. “I’m coming.”
