Tales of Herding Gods

Qin Mu immediately executed the Glassy Sky Pagoda and saw the 28 heavens revolving. However, the mobilization of the 28 heavens became more difficult.

Not only that, but he also felt that his corporeal body and primordial spirit were stiffening, and the blood in his body was about to transform into a solid state.

Qin Mu raised his head and saw that the 28 heavens of the Clear Sky Pagoda had become grey. He didn’t know why.

The dragon qilin turned back to look at his tail and cried out in astonishment, “Cult Master, I’m going to solidify.”

“The power here is extremely strange. You guys retreat first, I’ll scout the way.”

Qin Mu let Yan’er and the dragon qilin back down and climbed up alone. He said in a low voice, “According to logic, the Grand Extremes Mine should have Yin qi and Yang qi. The chaos should still be in a state where it is yet to be separated. This place is a little strange.”

Not long after, he came to a mountain road with the Glassy Sky Pagoda. This should be the mountain road that the masters of creation who had entered this place had opened up. It was obvious that the masters of creation who had come here were also planning to enter this place to mine the divine stones, and they should have already found the location of the mine.

‘As long as I follow this mountain path, I’ll be able to find where the Grand Extremes Mine is.’

Qin Mu continued to climb up and went around a few hills. Suddenly, he saw an incomparably tall stone statue standing on the road.

Qin Mu carefully walked forward and saw that the stone statue was facing the direction of the mine. It looked like it was about to walk away, and on its back was a mining tool forged from divine metal.

He walked to the front of the stone statue and raised his head to take a look. This stone statue should have been sculpted by a master of creation, but for some reason, it was standing there.

“There were many strange traditions and customs during the primordial era. This should be the custom of this clan of masters of creation that thrived on mining.”

He continued forward, and suddenly, he saw another stone statue beside the path. It was similarly tall, and looked like an adult master of creation.

He looked forward and saw that on this path, there were more stone statues of masters of creation stretched out at even intervals.

Qin Mu’s expression was grim. One of two stone statues could still be explained as a custom of the masters of creation, but these dozens of stone statues is unlikely to be their customs!

He rose into the air and landed in front of a stone statue, examining the heart of the brows.

The vertical eye between the brows of the stone statue was embedded with Grand Creation Divine Stones.

“These stone statues are all masters of creation!”

Qin Mu looked around and thought to himself, “The miners of the masters of creation came here, but they encountered the strange power in the Grand Extremes Mine and were turned into stones! Is this the Path of Creation?”

He couldn’t help but become alert as he took in a deep breath. At this moment, his breath was filled with impurities, and even his vital qi became tainted!

Qin Mu’s heart trembled violently. He took out the broken sword and gently sliced his palm, causing fresh blood to flow out.

He was already at the true god realm, and his blood had long transformed into divine blood. It possessed inconceivable power.

If his blood landed on the ground, even a drop of his blood would transform into a lake of blood. The power contained within it was so strong that it could make plants grow crazily. A withered tree would experience spring, and a vast land of a thousand miles would transform into a dense forest!

It was even to the extent that his divine blood could purify plants, turning them into demon spirits.

Although he was slightly lacking as a Celestial Venerable, his divine blood contained boundless and terrifying vitality!

However, when his fresh blood landed on the ground here, the blood quickly solidified. There were no activities, and his blood was no longer transparent. On the contrary, there were sand and stone gradually growing out from the blood.

Qin Mu stretched out his finger and gently swiped at the heart of his brows. The vertical eye opened up, and countless runes of Celestial Emperor’s eggshell were activated. The Grand Creation Origin Stone was activated, and the Great Dao of Youdu circulated in Qin Character Continent. The process of the blood’s transformation was instantly captured in his eyes.

The structure of his god’s blood changed, turning from blood to stone. Soon, the blood on the ground turned into a pile of sand!

“The power here can change the essence of matter.”

Qin Mu blinked his eyes and looked around with the vertical eye at the heart of his brows. He saw that this mountain range was majestic and magnificent. There were numerous huge primordial beasts resting in the mountains, and the forest was also quite dense.

It was as if this mysterious power was only affecting him and not the plants and beasts here.

Qin Mu no longer went forward. Instead, he came to the side of the road and carefully examined a tender grass.

In his line of sight, the vein lines of the tender grass gradually became clearer and thicker. Gradually, mountain ranges appeared in front of his eyes, and the water in the grass turned into rivers!

He even heard the sound of waves surging in his ears!

Qin Mu was astonished. Suddenly, he saw that the structure of the grass was slowly changing. He hurriedly took a few steps back and saw that the tender grass quickly grew into a huge tree. Its branches drooped down as if it had been growing for hundreds of thousands of years.

Qin Mu was about to take a closer look at the structure of the vein lines when the huge tree gradually changed again. Under his gaze, it transformed into a primordial behemoth that roared at him and pounced over!

Qin Mu’s consciousness burst forth, and with a move, Great Overarching Heaven was formed. The body of the primordial beast quickly became thinner, extending endlessly as it rose higher.

Yet before Qin Mu could finish executing his divine art, he saw the strange beast transforming into a lump of air that flowed down.

That air current landed on the ground and turned into a tender grass in the mountain.

Qin Mu was stunned and frowned.

“One flower, one grass and one world. Yet there are all kinds of changes. No shape, no form, no state... ”

Qin Mu looked at the mountains, rivers, and trees in the surroundings, and a terrifying feeling rose in his heart. He muttered, “This place is much bigger than what I can see: countless times bigger!”

He shuddered and immediately turned around to go down the mountain. The dragon qilin saw him turning back and was about to ask when he saw Qin Mu picking up a grain of sand from the ground. He placed it in his palm and blew on it.

Whoosh—

The black sand flew forward and grew larger as it spun. Soon, it transformed into a small mountain of divine metal.

The dragon qilin and Yan’er jumped in shock. They stared blankly at the mountain formed from black gold flying into the distance and falling into the sea of sand.

Strangely enough, when the black mountain fell into the sea of sand, it suddenly rolled and transformed into a primordial behemoth that sprinted away.

When the void beast saw this, it couldn’t help but rejoice. It immediately gave chase and was about to bite that strange beast to death. Unexpectedly, when its huge mouth landed, that huge beast actually turned into an insignificant grain of sand and fell into the sea of sand.

The dragon qilin and Yan’er were stunned.

“As expected!”

Qin Mu climbed up the mountain again and suddenly executed Overlord Body Three Elixir Technique. The qi and blood in his body boiled as layers of multicoloured light bloomed outwards. Ten thousand rays covered his body as he rushed up the mountain.

“This mine isn’t the Path of Creation, but is the combination of Yin and Yang. Myriad life flourish, and this is the Dao of Yin and Yang! However, this Dao of Yin and Yang is truly profound.”

“The entire sacred ground is formed from the two qi of Yin and yang. Furthermore, the Yin and Yang qi here is constantly changing because of the conflux!”

“Yin and Yang qi can transform into anything. They can be mountain rocks, trees, huge beasts, and even worlds.”

Qin Mu passed by the stone statues of the masters of creation and said in a low voice, “These masters of creation couldn’t withstand the Dao of Yin and Yang here, so their corporeal bodies were changed into stone statues! This Grand Extremes Mine has consciousness!”

“The Dao of Yin and Yang is similar to the Pao of Creation!”

“In the current world, on the Path of Creation, I’m a Celestial Venerable!”
