Tales of Herding Gods

“Mu’er is back?”

Apothecary turned back and smiled when he saw Qin Mu. “I’ve have fed this dragon qilin of yours well. He’s much sturdier now.”

Qin Mu was slightly numb. “Sturdier…”

That fat ball popped his head out from the pot. He was overjoyed when he saw Qin Mu. He hurriedly ran over with his short legs, but since his legs couldn’t touch the ground, his head crashed into the floor, and he started bouncing. He rolled over to Qin Mu while crying out, “Cult Master, I’m fine. I can crawl back up after rolling two rounds.”

Qin Mu hurriedly avoided him and said bitterly, “Grandpa Apothecary, this isn’t sturdy at all! Where’s Ling’er? Ling’er! How could you let Fatty Dragon eat so much and become so fat?”

Apothecary said, “Ling’er is not here. She has gone off to cultivate with Fox Immortal. Doesn’t Fatty Dragon need to eat three meals a day, and one meal has to be one bucket of spirit pills?”

Qin Mu was dumbfounded.

The dragon qilin stopped rolling, and his four limbs were all pointing up to the sky. He clawed forward a few times, but he could never flip himself over. His stubby tail straightened as he tried to push against the ground and flip himself, but no matter how he straightened his tail, it couldn’t touch the ground at all.

The dragon qilin panted heavily. “Cult Master, lend me a hand. Cult Master, Cult Master! Don’t go away… Who is going to flip me over?”

First Ancestor Human Emperor couldn’t bear to see him like this, so went forward to give him a push. The dragon qilin flipped over, and he nudged his body around. He could finally see First Ancestor Human Emperor, and he hurriedly expressed his gratitude. “Thank you very much, senior, for lending me a hand. My lunch is still not finished!” After saying this, he started to run eagerly towards the huge pot again.

First Ancestor Human Emperor couldn’t resist scolding, “You are still eating? Your master is already angry. He’s going to put you on the table soon!”

The dragon qilin jumped in shock and hurriedly stopped. He gave it some thought and began to eat again while replying in a muffled voice, “It’s good to die as a satisfied ghost…”

“You are hopeless!” First Ancestor shook his head and followed after Qin Mu.

In the monastery, Village Chief was currently talking to Old Ma. He hurriedly floated up when he heard Qin Mu’s voice, and he saw Qin Mu right away when he turned around. The other villagers also walked out from their rooms, and when they saw Qin Mu, it was another commotion.

When Qin Mu saw Village Chief alive, he couldn’t help wiping his tears. Village Chief said with a smile, “Don’t be a little boy. You are Human Emperor, Heaven Saint Cult Master, and also the Grand Chancellor of Heaven Saint Academy, so how could you cry so easily? I’m alive now, alright?”

Even though he had said that, his eyes were also red. At this moment, he suddenly saw First Ancestor Human Emperor, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground, his body facing the floor in a straight manner. “Student Su Muzhe pays my respects to First Ancestor Human Emperor!”

First Ancestor Human Emperor helped him up and placed him on the recliner. “Get up. You weren’t so reserved when you met me for the first time.”

Village Chief was extremely excited and said to First Ancestor, “This is my disciple! The current human emperor! The natural-born overlord body! Mu’er, Mu’er, come and pay your respects to First Ancestor. Kneel down and kowtow to him!”

Qin Mu shook his head. “Why should I kneel? He can’t beat me, and he even cried in Hall of Human Emperors after my beating.”

Village Chief scolded angrily, “Disgraceful! How could you destroy your ancestor? First Ancestor has remarkable abilities, and his abilities are all from Founding Emperor Era. If he can teach you a move or two, you can benefit—”

Qin Mu called his attention. “Village Chief, he has already imparted his technique and mudra skills to me.”

“He has?”

Village Chief’s expression changed and instantly lost interest in First Ancestor Human Emperor. He said, “First Ancestor, please take a seat. Please pardon junior for being a cripple. I won’t be getting up to welcome you.”

First Ancestor Human Emperor was flabbergasted. Nonetheless, he found a seat and sat down.

Qin Mu said eagerly, “Village Chief, I found a technique for the creation of corporeal body. It’s an Emperor’s Throne technique of Crimson Light Era, and it can regrow your broken limbs! First Ancestor was crippled as well, and it was me who had imparted the technique to him and saved him from death!”

Village Chief was surprised and delighted. His voice trembled as he asked, “Can my broken arms and legs grow back as well?”

“Yes, they can!”

Apothecary probed, “In that case, can my face grow back as well?”

Qin Mu hesitated and said with a troubled look, “I haven’t tried that before. First Ancestor only had his chin shattered, and he grew a new chin. I’m not so sure if a face could grow back.”

Apothecary said with a smile, “I had originally sliced my face off to cut off all relationship and never did I expect myself to still walk out of Great Ruins, picking up the past relationships once again. I’m starting to miss that face of mine. My enemies also don’t dare to chase after me anymore, so it’s best if I can get back my face. Anyway, it’s fine if it can’t grow back. I’m already used to it. Can Deaf’s ears and Mute’s tongue grow back as well?”

Deaf snorted and turned to leave. “I’m not cultivating! I don’t want ears!”

Apothecary chuckled. “This old fellow… Don’t mind him. He will cultivate once he has thought things through.”

Qin Mu started to talk about Light Emperor’s Anasrava Creation Mysterious Scripture word for word, but Old Ma suddenly stopped him. “Let me chase the monks away so the technique won’t get leaked.”

Qin Mu shook his head. “There’s no need. I plan to spread this Emperor Throne’s technique to the world through Emperor Yanfeng. Crimson Light Son of God will definitely pass this technique down to his clansmen, and if I keep the technique for myself, Eternal Peace will not be a match for the remaining survivors of Crimson Light. If that happens, there will only be a lot of trouble.”

Rulai Ma thought over it and nodded his head. “It’s extremely difficult to comprehend an Emperor’s Throne technique. Even if you impart it to the world, only divine arts practitioners can cultivate it, and those that will have success would be a mere few.”

What he said was the truth. The higher the quality of a technique was, the higher the comprehension, aptitude, and wisdom would be required. It would also be harder to cultivate that technique.

For example, Devil Ape Zhan Kong and Monk Ming Xin had followed Brahma Buddha to study Emperor’s Throne true scripture, but Brahma Buddha didn’t teach anything to Qin Mu. He had only transformed himself into a buddha to suppress the sky above Qin word land. He said the technique was within the buddha and he let Qin Mu comprehend it by himself.

Qin Mu still hasn’t comprehended anything yet.

The devil ape and Ming Xin were both people that possessed buddha nature and great wisdom in Buddhism, and both of them were able to learn Brahma Buddha’s technique. As for the other monks, those who could learn were rare, and most of them just got the gist of it.

For example, the techniques and divine arts of Dao Sect were based on the foundation of algebra, so they needed to have extremely high attainments in algebra.

The things that were correlated to Anasrava Creation Mysterious Scripture were also very vast. There were requirements for algebra, knowledge on runes, knowledge on creation, knowledge on the structure of the corporeal body, and there were many aspects that were involved.

Because First Ancestor Human Emperor and Qin Mu had studied all of these aspects, they were able to master the technique.

If it were anyone else, just to study these things and achieving a certain success would have to take them dozens or even hundreds of years. At that point, their technique could only be considered to have just entered the basics.

And this was only the requirement for wisdom!

In addition to that, Emperor’s Throne technique also has a strict requirement with aptitude and comprehension, so even if Qin Mu passed down the technique to the world, there wouldn’t be a lot of divine arts practitioners who could cultivate Anasrava Creation Mysterious Scripture. Those who could achieve great success would be even fewer.

Qin Mu taught Anasrava Creation Mysterious Scripture to everyone and this technique was all-inclusive. He tried to explain profound meanings with simple words to let everyone understand. However, the people of Disabled Elderly Village all had their own proficiencies and in the end, it was Granny Si who had first comprehend the cultivation trick to Anasrava Creation Mysterious Technique.

Granny Si had cultivated Great Educational Heavenly Devil Scripture and she mainly cultivated the Seven Writings of Creation in Heavenly Devil Scripture, therefore, her attainments on this field surpassed the others.

Qin Mu was very patient and explained to them over and over again, answering all the questions.

Anasrava Creation Mysterious Scripture involved too much knowledge even he was starting to find it difficult to answer their questions. Luckily for him, Crimson Emperor had imparted his Three Primordial Spirit Undying God Consciousness to him and this technique was a technique that was about the creation of the primordial spirit, it could be placed beside Anasrava Creation Mysterious Scripture for comparison.

First Ancestor Human Emperor was also beside and since he had cultivated this technique before, he had his own understanding. Questions that Qin Mu couldn’t answer would be answered by him.

Not long later, Deaf took his time to come back and he sat down to listen.

Qin Mu talked for days and nights until his throat was parched. The second one who had comprehended the technique was surprisingly Deaf. As for Village Chie, Apothecary, Old Ma, Cripple, Mute and Blind, none of them had mastered it.

Qin Mu had a headache and an inspiration suddenly came to him. He said with a smile, “I still have another Emperor’s Throne technique here and it’s called Three Primordial Spirit Undying God Consciousness. This is also a technique of Crimson Light Era. Let me teach you guys this technique and you guys can compare them.”

Village Chief frowned and said, “One Emperor’s Throne technique is already difficult for us to absorb, if we have another one, we will have to comprehend our entire lifetime. Mu’er, let’s not bite off more than we can chew.”

Qin Mu said with a smile, “That’s what we need to do. Anasrava Creation Mysterious Scripture is for cultivating the corporeal body and this technique is for cultivating the primordial spirit, this two technique can cover up each other’s flaws precisely and they have numerous concepts that are similar. If you guys learn these two techniques together, it might be even easier to master!”

He started to explain Three Primordial Spirit Undying God Consciousness and the look of astonishment on everyone’s face grew as they listened.

When Qin Mu had explained Anasrava Creation Mysterious Technique just now, there were still many places that they didn’t know and it was obvious that even Qin Mu didn’t manage to completely comprehend it as well. Yet when he was explaining Three Primordial Spirit Undying God Consciousness, it was as if he was the founder of this technique, his comprehension wasn’t simply just so thorough.

He was literally a living Crimson Emperor that was imparting his learnings to everyone!

And as a matter of fact, even though Qin Mu was the one explaining the technique to them, he was talking about Crimson Emperor’s understanding and Crimson Emperor had handed over all of the consciousness regarding the technique to him!

Crimson Emperor personally imparting his learnings was naturally not a small deal!

As Qin Mu had said, the two techniques complemented each other. Numerous places that Village Chief and the rest couldn’t comprehend were immediately comprehended when they heard Qin Mu’s explanation and this made everyone nod their heads repeatedly.

“Never would I expect after teaching Mu’er for so many years, we have now become his student instead.” Apothecary sighed ruefully and smiled.

As Qin Mu explained, his own understanding of Anasrava Creation Mysterious Scripture was also increasing and he could understand many techniques without comprehending, becoming skilled in all kinds of divine arts without cultivating.

His heart was like a clear mirror that was mastering all kinds of marvel in the creation scripture.

When he finished explaining Three Primordial Spirit Undying God Consciousness, his body suddenly trembled and he cried out, “Now I know why Light Emperor had lost and why Crimson Light Era was wiped out! When Anasrava Creation Mysterious Scripture doesn’t have Undying God Consciousness, it has a major flaw!”

Village Chief’s aptitude and comprehension were extremely high and he immediately came to the realization. “Light Emperor’s primordial spirit couldn’t cultivate to the other two heads and four arms so the person that had killed him must have severed his other two heads and shaved him four arms first! This Light Emperor must have died miserably!”
