Tales of Herding Gods
Chapter 1702: Too Smart

"There were twenty-one spirit officials and ancient gods that died in my hands. One of them was trapped by me, and the other was trapped by Junior Brother Jiang Baigui. These two spirit officials and ancient gods are no longer capable. In this way, there are only seven left."

Qin Mu rushed towards the northern borders. His speed had already slowed down a little, and his heart sank.

West Earth might not make it in time.

With his current speed, even if he abandoned Wei Suifeng and Black Tortoise Deity to head straight for West Earth, the two ancient god clones of the spirit official would have already reached there.

'However, I have to kill these two ancient god clones! Otherwise, after they kill Yue Tingge and West Deity White Tiger, they will turn to kill First Ancestor Dao Ancestor and the rest! I hope Yue Tingge and West Deity can hold on! Yue Tingge is the number one heavenly master after all!'

He was as fast as lightning, and there were three ancient gods in the northern border that were dealing with Black Tortoise, Black Tortoise, and Wei Suifeng respectively.

There were two in West Earth, one in South Heaven and one in the beast world to deal with the dragon qilin, and the last to rush to the ancestral court.

'The dragon qilin can choose not to save him and just summon a divine art to forcefully pull him over from South Heaven or the beast world, causing the spirit official ancient god clone to miss. However, that spirit official ancient god will also have to die, he can't be left behind! However, the most crucial point is still the ancient god clone that is heading to the ancestral court!'

When Qin Mu rushed over to the northern border, he saw that the land was covered in ice and snow. The land was covered in white, and huge snow god cities floated in the sky. Ice mountains floated among the cities, and Black Tortoise Great Swamp appeared in this desolate land. The celestial river was also attracted by Black Tortoise Great Swamp.

This swamp was the ancestral land of Black Tortoise and Black Tortoise, and it was extremely magnificent and spectacular. Among the four deities of the ancient gods, Black Tortoise and Black Tortoise were the strongest. These two ancient gods were the strongest masters of creation race in the primordial era, and they were gods born from Ju Yushi's sacrifice!

At this moment, on top of the celestial river, a huge ship was galloping in the river, causing the river water to swell.

Wei Suifeng led the Feathered Forest Guards to lay down the formation of the celestial heavens on this huge ship. This was the newest formation blueprint of Eternal Peace. With Eternal Peace's skilled craftsmen, they could only forge four formation blueprints. One of them was taken by Di Yiyue and used in the battle of Carefree Village.

Wei Suifeng had one, Jiang Baigui had one, and Yue Tingge had the other.

That huge ship was the huge ship that Wei Suifeng had designed to break through the Celestial River Navy's Celestial River Pagoda. It was also an incomparable heavy weapon.

Even with the support of the two great heavy weapons, Wei Suifeng and the soldiers of the Feathered Forest Guards were still having a hard time facing the ancient god clone of the Hall Master. The formation could be broken at any moment!

On the other side, the Black Tortoise fused and revealed its true form. It faced the two spirit officials' clones in the swamp. One of the couple was a Tortoise, while the other was a flying snake.

The flying serpent coiled around the black tortoise, and the black tortoise stretched out its incomparably thick limbs. It sprinted through the swamp as though it was flying. With the Black Tortoise Formation under its feet, it mobilized the power of the swamp and used the body of an ancient god to fight against two ancient god clones. The battle was earth-shattering, and the swamp was almost shattered!

The corporeal bodies of the two deities of the Black Tortoise and Black Tortoise were in tatters, and they tried their best to resist. The husband and wife had a combination attack technique, but the spirit official's ancient god clones were also a combination attack technique that was even stronger than them. If they weren't in the ancestral land, they would have been killed by the spirit official long ago!

Qin Mu rushed over and suddenly sliced between the two spirit officials' clones. He didn't dodge and used his corporeal body to withstand the combined attack of the spirit officials' clones, allowing the divine arts of the two ancient gods to land on his body.

His hands left and right imprinted themselves on the heart of the brows of the two ancient gods, and the power of the red knot instantly burst forth!

The two ancient gods grunted and fell from the sky. The moment they landed, the power of the red rope had already shattered their primordial spirits.

Qin Mu didn't stop and broke through the air.

Wei Suifeng was originally delighted to see Qin Mu, but when he saw that Qin Mu didn't rush towards him at all and had vanished in the blink of an eye, he couldn't help becoming angry. "No matter what, I'm still the big senior brother, how could I leave him to die!"

The Black Tortoise and Black Tortoise Deities were saved, and they couldn't care less. They immediately came forward to help and worked together to kill the spirit official ancient god clone.

"There are still four left! But it's too late for West Earth…"

Qin Mu became more anxious, but no matter how anxious he was, it was useless. The journey from the northern border to West Earth was long, and it would take some time.

The clone of the Hall Master of the Spirit Official Hall had started before him, and his speed was also extremely fast. In addition, he had traveled through almost all the war zones of Eternal Peace, so the current Spirit Official must have already reached West Earth!

West Earth.

The flames of war had already reached High Heavens. High Heavens was Xu Shenghua's hometown, but it had already been taken over by White Deity. When White Deity saw West Deity's army coming, he retreated to defend High Heavens, avoiding battle.

After West Deity White Tiger descended, the battle of High Heavens began. White Deity raised the ancestral court's West Heaven Gate and used it as the gate to High Heavens. He guarded High Heavens with his life and waited for reinforcements from the celestial heavens.

West Deity tried to attack, but she was blocked by the gate and couldn't enter High Heavens. Yue Tingge immediately led numerous women who were proficient in the art of spirit summoning forward and executed their divine arts to summon West Heaven Gate.

At this moment, a handsome ancient god appeared in the sky above High Heavens.

At the same time, the sky suddenly shook violently, and the void was torn apart. A huge void beast mother carrying a dragon qilin descended from the sky, and behind her were countless primordial behemoths descending to West Earth!

That ancient god saw the situation and said in astonishment, "The master of the Beast Realm! He's actually not in Southern Heaven and has come to West Earth! But that's good, I didn't go to find him anyway. I'll settle him, Yue Tingge, and West Deity here."

When Qin Mu rushed to West Earth, he saw that the spirit official's ancient god clone was trapped. This ancient god clone was handsome and had high abilities. He could be said to be an extreme existence among Celestial Venerables, yet he was trapped by Yue Tingge's formation.

The fourth complete formation diagram that Blind had led the formation experts of Eternal Peace to design was in Yue Tingge's hands.

The power of Yue Tingge's trap formation couldn't refine him to death, so he invited West Deity White Tiger to personally enter the formation and beat this ancient god until he was beyond recognition.

As for High Heavens, it was blocked by the dragon qilin and the beast army in West Heaven Gate, unable to come out to save them.

'Why is Fatty Dragon here? Furthermore, why is there only one spirit official's clone here?'

Qin Mu stopped, and his body was covered in sweat. His consciousness rippled as he contacted the dragon qilin.

Their consciousnesses communicated in an instant. There was indeed only one clone of Hall Master Ling Guan. Yue Tingge had long known that the celestial heavens wouldn't let West Earth off, so he had set up a formation to deal with the enemies behind them.

The spirit official clone had taken the initiative to enter the trap he had laid, it could be said that he had walked right into the trap and got caught.

As for the dragon qilin, it was because Bai Yujing was in Southern Heaven with him.

"In other words, the current Hall Master of Spirit Official Hall has yet to head to South Heaven and should have sent two clones to West Earth, yet he only sent one!"

Qin Mu frowned. Logically, to be safe, Hall Master Ling Guan should have sent two ancient god clones to kill Yue Tingge and West Deity White Tiger.

West Deity White Tiger was also a Celestial Venerable level existence in her territory. Although Yue Tingge's combat power was only at the level of a Celestial Master, his intelligence was extremely high. He was the first to break the Glassy Sky Pagoda's formation, and there were people in the celestial heavens who praised him for being able to fight three masters by himself!

The three masters here referred to the three masters of the god, earth, and navy!

Spirit Official Hall Master's two ancient god clones could easily get rid of the two of them, but sending one clone was a little too much.

'If the spirit official didn't go to Southern Heaven, one of the remaining three clones would have to go to the Ancestral Court World Tree! The other two clones should also be going to the World Tree!'

Even though Qin Mu was exhausted, his mind was becoming clearer. "Emperor Hao Tian invited him to kill the leaders of the various armies of Eternal Peace and Carefree Village, but Spirit Official also has his own goal, which is to go to the ancestral court and undo the seals under the tree of the ancestral court world, allowing the prehistoric stowaways to enter this universe and cause a calamity!"

"Emperor Hao Tian has his own plans, and so does Spirit Official! There's only one way to verify my guess!"

His body suddenly moved, and he rushed into the Great Celestial Heavens formation that Yue Tingge had set up. West Deity White Tiger saw this and immediately stopped attacking. Yue Tingge continued to maintain the formation to prevent the spirit official clone from escaping.

The pressure on the spirit official clone lightened, and he saw Qin Mu standing in front of him. His expression changed slightly, and he laughed. "Seventh young master, your speed is peerless in the world, but I'm not slow. After all, you haven't achieved the Dao yet, and you're still not the young master of Miluo Palace. You've already lost this battle, and the three young masters and four young masters will definitely descend and send you to the prehistoric universe to become the seventh young master! When that time comes, seventh young master will have to thank me!"

Qin Mu stretched out a finger, and the spirit official hurriedly tried to block it. However, he failed. His ancient god clone also had a primordial spirit, which was shot out of his body by Qin Mu's finger and floated in the air.

His primordial spirit tried to escape, but he was astonished to find that he couldn't move at all.

Qin Mu's five fingers spread open, and the primordial spirit of the spirit official clone immediately split into three parts.

Qin Mu stretched out two fingers and pinched his divine soul. His left hand drew a circle in the air, and with a flick of his finger, he sent his divine soul into the ring.

The divine soul contained the memories, and the circular ring was like a mirror, instantly replaying the memories of the spirit official clone!

He saw the other three clones of Hall Master Spirit Official. Two of them were carrying Dao Fruits, and one of them was carrying Dao flowers as they rushed towards the ancestral court!

The fastest clone could already see the ancestral court in the distance!

Qin Mu's sleeves trembled, and the three souls of the spirit official clone shattered!

He rose and broke through the air!

West Deity White Tiger saw his exhaustion and immediately raised the horn to blow.

Du du—

In the sound of the bugle horn, Qin Mu's qi and blood suddenly became several times more vigorous. Yue Tingge, the dragon qilin, and West Deity White Tiger raised their heads to look and saw a purple teleportation formation that had a radius of tens of thousands of miles suddenly appearing in the sky. It was incomparably complicated, and the formation suddenly activated. With a loud boom, the teleportation formation vanished along with Qin Mu!

'Celestial Venerable Mu seems to be exhausted. I wonder if he can catch up to those three clones?'

Yue Tingge had a worried expression. The two clones of Hall Master Ling Guan both had their own Dao fruits, while the other one also had a Dao flower. Their abilities were far from what the other clones could compare to.

Qin Mu had clearly sprinted for a long distance. No matter if it was his corporeal body or his magic power, they were both greatly exhausted. With his exhausted body, even if he caught up to the three great clones of Hall Master Ling Guan, he would probably be at ease and wait for his exhaustion!

"With the strength of his legs, it will probably take him five to six days to reach the ancestral court from here, even with folded spaces, teleportation formations, and full speed."

Yue Tingge calculated and said in a low voice, "In five to six days, I'm afraid the first clone of the spirit official has already reached the Ancestral Court World Tree! He can't make it in time…"

Four days later, the ancestral court was shrouded in darkness.

The morning hadn't come yet, but the east had already turned white. Xu Shenghua raised his head and watched as the Dao Tree that was too easy vanished into the Ultimate Void. He then carried the metal bucket down the World Tree and prepared to repair the mountain that had split open on the outskirts of the black mountain.

Even though the Primordial Realm was in a state of chaos, it was still peaceful under the Ancestral Court World Tree.

Xu Shenghua was as peaceful as the morning of the World Tree. He carried the iron bucket and came to the outskirts of the black mountain at a leisurely pace. On this night, the sky outside the black mountain was dark, and it was a terrifying sight of the destruction of the universe.

He was used to it and didn't mind. He just waited for the sun to rise.

When the sun rose, everything would be restored.

Finally, the sun rose and the first ray of sunlight shone on the World Tree. In his vision, the black mountains gradually became clearer.

Xu Shenghua carried the iron bucket and stood on the top of a cracked cliff. He saw an ancient god walking over from outside the black mountain, and a Dao Fruit hung high above his head, spinning around.
