Tales of Herding Gods

Chapter 1267 – Qin Mu And Tai Shi

Tai Shi in the egg sneered and said, “Your so-called Dao injuries are nothing in our eyes. Tai Su has substance, but no form. Her ability to treat those Dao injuries is easy.”

Qin Mu’s heart sank, and he continued to ask, “What about the cultivation that Celestial Venerable Hao crippled? Celestial Venerable Hao crippled twenty-six celestial palaces, and that was something I had to go through painstaking efforts to destroy. She can’t possibly restore these celestial palaces to Celestial Venerable Hao in one go, right? I don’t think Tai Su has the power to do so!”

“Tai Su indeed doesn’t have this cultivation and strength.”

Tai Shi in the egg sighed and said, “Her current strength is far inferior to a Celestial Venerable. Of course, you are an exception.”

Qin Mu let out a sigh of relief. Even though the words of the ancient god in the egg made him unhappy, Tai Su was unable to restore Celestial Venerable Hao. Celestial Venerable Hao, who hadn’t recovered to his peak state, was just a piece of trash. Killing him wouldn’t be a problem.

‘When Celestial Emperor’s Tai Chu Dao was born, it wasn’t complete. However, he could be considered the most complete egg-born ancient god other than Tai Yi.’

The Tai Shi in the egg said, “Now, the strength of the ten Celestial Venerables is close to that of Celestial Emperor Tai Chu. This level of strength far surpasses that of Tai Su. Tai Su is slightly stronger than the four-colored great emperor and slightly weaker than the four deities of the ancient gods.”

Qin Mu’s heart tightened. Even so, it was no small matter.

The four-colored great emperor, Son of Heaven Yin, White Deity, Qi Xiayu, and Green Deity of the Eastern Sky had extraordinary abilities. The four ancient gods were existences that only Celestial Venerables could fight against!

Tai Su’s abilities were somewhere between them and the strong practitioners of the small celestial heavens that had cultivated over ten celestial palaces.

“However, Tai Su can restore Celestial Venerable Hao’s celestial palace.”

Tai Shi in the egg continued, “She can control the uncontrollable energy in Celestial Venerable Hao’s body, allowing his nine celestial palaces to recover quickly. As for the other twenty-six celestial palaces, it’s only a matter of time for her.”

Qin Mu pondered for a moment and asked, “How much time do you think it will take?”

The Grand Prime in the egg pondered for a moment and said, “It will take a hundred years without affecting Tai Su’s own strength.”

Qin Mu said resolutely, “In that case, Celestial Venerable Hao can recover to his peak state in fifty years!”

The Grand Prime in the egg thought about it and nodded. “You are right. After Celestial Venerable Hao’s nine celestial palaces recover, he can also cultivate on his own to perfect the celestial palaces. With the recovery of Tai Su, he should be able to recover to his peak in fifty years.”

Qin Mu walked around the egg of Tai Shi. The egg was so quiet that it didn’t move.

‘Celestial Venerable Hao can only recover nine celestial palaces in a short period of time, which means that he won’t be a threat for the time being. I originally planned to escape, but it seems like there’s no need for that now. His abilities haven’t recovered yet, so he will definitely hide his abilities and bide his time, afraid that others will notice something.’

Suddenly, Qin Mu stopped and looked at the egg of Tai Shi. “Tai Su always fulfills his requests. What if Celestial Venerable Hao wants the thirty-sixth celestial palace? Can Tai Su give him the thirty-sixth celestial palace?”

Tai Shi pondered and said, “It’s not impossible…”

Qin Mu shuddered.

Tai Shi in the egg continued, “If that’s the case, Celestial Venerable Hao will be too deeply controlled by the elements, and he can only become the puppet of the elements. The elements of the elements are always fulfilled, and they aren’t free. The more you beg, the more you will be controlled by her.”

Qin Mu blinked his eyes. “What you mean is?”

Tai Shi in the egg said, “If Tai Su gives Celestial Venerable Hao the thirty-sixth celestial palace, Celestial Venerable Hao won’t be able to reach the true Celestial Heavens Realm. He won’t be able to reach the peak of the celestial heavens system. His path towards the Dao will be like the Grand Emperor, always lacking. The celestial heavens system only focuses on power, but Celestial Venerable Hao shouldn’t be able to reach the peak of power.”

“Celestial Venerable Hao’s reputation isn’t undeserved. It’s hard for Taisu to control him!”

Qin Mu’s gaze flickered, and he probed, “In that case, does Dao Brother Taishi think that the system of Dao Realm of the thirty-six heavens is a perfect system?”

Tai Shi chuckled. “How can there be a perfect system in this world? If it’s perfect, how will Celestial Venerable Mu and Cult Master Qin reform?”

Qin Mu laughed loudly and became alert. ‘This Tai Shi fellow is a wily old fox that has rolled around in a pot of oil and fished up another night! His words are watertight.’

“Back then, when Dao Brother Tai Shi and Dao Brother Tai Su were communicating in the egg, what were you talking about?” he asked indifferently.

Even though he was indifferent, Qin Mu was still extremely worried about this matter.

Tai Shi and Tai Su had communicated with each other more than once. When Qin Mu’s consciousness arrived, they immediately shut up.

“About this…”

Tai Shi chuckled. “It’s just some trivial matters. I told her about Tai Chu imprisoning me, and she told me about how she was almost refined by Deity Xuan and Deity Wu. We were discussing how to deal with Tai Chu and the Black Tortoise Deity to take revenge.”

Qin Mu didn’t believe him, but since Tai Shi wasn’t willing to say more, he didn’t ask.

Tai Shi suggested, “Celestial Venerable Hao, even if you recover the nine celestial palaces, you still won’t be able to fight against him. Why don’t we return to the ancestral court and hide? The Tai Shi mine in the ancestral court is in the hands of Heavenly Lady Yan, and she’s in the celestial heavens. We can take the chance to attack the mine and take over this woman’s territory! I’ll split the benefits with you fifty-fifty!”

Qin Mu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Wasn’t Tai Shi becoming too secular? He was an existence like Celestial Emperor Tai Chu, and Celestial Emperor Tai Chu certainly couldn’t say such words.

‘I still have a younger brother in the Great Void. I need to find him.’

Qin Mu smiled. “Fifty-fifty, I remember. Don’t worry, after finding my brother, I’ll leave this troublesome place and head to the ancestral court.”

The ancient god in the egg was silent for a moment before saying, “Fifty-fifty is a joke, it can’t be taken seriously.”

In the Great Void, Youdu, Ming City.

Celestial Venerable Hao’s injuries became lighter. He opened his eyes and crawled up with difficulty. He turned around and bowed. “Thank you, Dao friend.”

He raised his head and saw the woman’s face. Suddenly, his expression turned blank, and there was a hint of infatuation in his eyes.

The woman standing behind him had a similar appearance to Mistress Yuanmu.

“If you want something, you have to give it to me. If you want something, you have to do it. Whoever you want in your heart looks like me.”

The woman called Tai Su smiled. “As long as you don’t have such thoughts, you can see my true appearance.”

Celestial Venerable Hao closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he saw that Tai Su’s appearance had changed.

In his eyes, Tai Su didn’t have the appearance of Mistress Yuanmu, but an unfamiliar woman. She was arrogant and cold, and there was a formless yet formless light at the back of her head. The light was beautiful, and it changed between corporeal.

The laughter that Celestial Venerable Hao heard just now wasn’t the laughter of this woman, but the laughter in Celestial Venerable Hao’s heart.

Actually, Goddess Tai Su had never smiled before.

The form of this ancient god was already hard for ordinary people to understand.

Goddess Tai Su looked at Celestial Venerable Hao and saw that he had woken up from his marvelous Dao runes in a short period of time. She couldn’t help showing a look of approval and said, “The son of Tai Chu indeed has extraordinary abilities. Hao, now that you are severely injured, with my abilities, I can let you recover to the level of thirty-five celestial palaces in a hundred years. I can also let you have one more celestial palace and completely cultivate the celestial heavens.”

Celestial Venerable Hao lowered his head and said, “So it’s Aunt Su. Aunt Su only needs to recover the nine celestial palaces in my body. As for the other celestial palaces, I’ll think of a way myself.”

Goddess Tai Su looked at him, her gaze flickering, but she couldn’t see the expression on his face.

After a moment, she smiled and said, “Alright, I’ll restore your nine celestial palaces. You can worship me now.”

Celestial Venerable Hao knelt down and kowtowed.
