Tales of Herding Gods

Xu Shenghua nodded. “Cult Master Qin’s visit this time showed me the results of his cultivation over the years. He also talked about the ancestral court and the Great Void, which aroused my interest.”

Jing Yan said with a smile, “Husband has always followed his own frame of mind. Your mind was indifferent in the past, which is why you could stay in West Earth for so many years. Now that you are moved, why don’t you follow your heart?”

Xu Shenghua hesitated. “Now that I have a wife and daughter, it’s hard for me to follow my heart.”

Jing Yan smiled and said, “Husband, do you think your wife and daughter have succeeded you, or have they restricted you?”

Xu Shenghua was stunned.

Jing Yan said with a smile, “Some people think that once they have a wife and children, they will be restricted. Their ambitions will be hard to unleash, and they will resent the heavens and the earth. Their families won’t get along. Some people think that having a wife and children will give them more motivation to fight and work hard to improve themselves. Husband, are you the mediocre person in front or the strong person behind?”

Xu Shenghua came to a realization and bowed in thanks. “Many thanks for wife’s guidance.”

Jing Yan immediately helped him up and said with a smile, “Husband, I’m sorry. The chaos in the world will only get bigger and fiercer. The chaos will be so huge that it might not be inferior to Eternal Peace Calamity. If you can’t improve yourself, it will be hard for you to even protect your wife and children, much less protect your own people. Since you have the heart to improve and the path to improve yourself, you can go. There’s no need to worry about us.”

Xu Shenghua made up his mind and immediately packed up his luggage. He kissed Jing Yan and his daughter, Xu Mengqing, before leaving West Earth to rush to Eternal Peace.

Meanwhile, Qin Mu returned to the cube cage where the Paramita Ark was.

This place was still sealed, but the seal was no longer able to stump Qin Mu. He walked in and saw numerous monks working hard to repair this magnificent ship.

......

The Paramita Ark could be said to be the most magnificent ship forged by humans and gods since ancient times. It was even like a flying land that possessed inconceivable abilities. It could travel through the void and under the Void Bridge!

Qin Mu knew how terrifying the power of the Void Bridge was. Even Celestial Venerables couldn’t pass through the Void Bridge in the Land of the Great Void!

However, the Paramita Ark could.

These monks of Founding Emperor Era should have snuck into this cube’s cage from Fengdu without a sound, so they didn’t alarm the gods and devils of the celestial heavens.

Repairing the Paramita Ark was extremely difficult. During the Founding Emperor Era, it was because of powerful existences like Sakra Li Youran who used forging to establish the path. Only then could they forge the Paramita Ark and Carefree Village.

There were no heaven-defying existences like Sakra in the celestial heavens, so they could only allow Paramita Ark to block them here.

Furthermore, without the Ark Star Plate, they couldn’t reach Carefree Village, so the Celestial Venerables of the celestial heavens weren’t too concerned about this ship.

Qin Mu came to the Paramita Ark, and it was almost completely repaired. Sakra Li Youran carried a bunch of blueprints and checked the connection and rune markings of every part with the numerous monks.

He also went up personally to forge the imprint and was very busy.

Qin Mu came forward and was slightly stunned. He saw that every monk had the face of Sakra Li Youran. However, their attire was different, and the work they were responsible for was different.

“Li Youran also learned Old Buddha’s Boundless Calamity Sutra. These monks are the embodiment of his dream!”

Qin Mu came to a realization. Back then, in Brahma Heaven of the Buddha Realm, other than Devil Ape Zhan Kong and Monk Ming Xin, Sakra Buddha was the only other person who had entered the small temple of Old Buddha.

Old Buddha imparted his technique to them, but the teachings everyone received were different. After Devil Ape Zhan Kong received the teachings, he immediately fell asleep and snored like thunder. Monk Ming Xin was meditating and trying to comprehend the profound Dharma within to save everyone.

Sakra Buddha, on the other hand, used his intelligence to try to decipher the Boundless Calamity Sutra from all directions.

At that time, Qin Mu wasn’t taught, but his brother Qin Fengqing grabbed Old Buddha and ate him.

The four of them had different attitudes towards the Boundless Calamity Sutra, causing the results of their cultivation to be different.

Qin Mu didn’t comprehend any buddhism from the Boundless Calamity Sutra because he didn’t comprehend it at all. His gains were the least, so Old Buddha had directly imparted the Boundless Calamity Sutra to him. He used it as he pleased and didn’t think about what logic was hidden in it.

Monk Ming Xin wanted to save all living things so that there would be no more suffering in the world. He had learned a lot from the Boundless Calamity Sutra, and his attainments in Dharma were extremely high.

However, he put in more effort, and he was getting further away from the true meaning of the Boundless Calamity Sutra. Even though he had comprehended all kinds of supreme techniques from the scripture, he was still unable to learn the true Boundless Calamity Sutra.

Only Devil Ape Zhan Kong had received the true teachings of Old Buddha.

His buddha nature was too high. After receiving the scripture, he didn’t care about anything else and just slept. He had the charm of an old buddha.

Sakra Buddha, on the other hand, put in the most effort. He wanted to become another Brahma Buddha and take another step forward to take revenge.

He was scheming. He made use of Qin Mu to purge the power of the celestial heavens in the Buddha Realm and eradicate the spies of the celestial heavens. He also couldn’t forget his old relationship with Red Deity Qi Xiayu, his friendship with Founding Emperor, and his past. He couldn’t forget that he was the leader of Heavenly Works God Race, his hatred, and his identity as Heavenly King of War.

Thus, even though his talent was extremely high, his gains from the Boundless Calamity Sutra were the least.

He was also a person with a buddha nature. Otherwise, it would have been hard for him to become Sakra Buddha, the nineteenth heavenly god of the Buddha Realm. However, there were too many distracting thoughts in his heart. Even so, he had his own comprehension after comprehending the Boundless Calamity Sutra.

Qin Mu looked at the countless monks of the Paramita Ark, Li Youran, and sighed ruefully.

Back then, because Li Youran was infatuated with Red Deity Qi Xiayu, she didn’t have the heart to fight. As a result, the Heavenly Works God Race was almost wiped out. Only Mute survived and experienced endless suffering.

Li Youran escaped into the void and became Sakra Buddha, but he couldn’t bear to part with his past. It was hard for all four of them to be empty, so he ultimately entered the mortal world.

Now, he had transformed into a monk in his dream, but the monk was doing the work of a heavenly worker to repair the Paramita Ark. To him, he was probably still in a dilemma and in a dilemma, unable to free himself.

He couldn’t become Brahma Heaven.

His dream clone didn’t have much intelligence, so he needed to personally guide them. Only then could he repair the Paramita Ark.

Repairing the Paramita Ark was a torture to him and also a process of restoring his Dao heart.

Qin Mu walked forward and greeted, “Are you Sakra Buddha or Li Youran?”

Sakra Buddha Li Youran returned the greeting. “Celestial Venerable, I’m Sakra, they are Li Youran.”

Qin Mu looked at the hardworking workers and said with a smile, “Buddha, you should say you are Sakra Buddha and also Li Youran. Only then will you be enlightened.”

Sakra Li Youran was slightly stunned. He thought for a moment and said with a smile, “You are here to play tricks again. Let’s not talk about this. Why has Celestial Venerable come?”

Qin Mu took out the star compass of Paramita Ark and said, “I’m here to return this item.”

Sakra received the astrolabe and put it away silently.

Qin Mu asked, “Buddha, I understand the Paramita Ark quite well. Do you need my help?”

Sakra shook his head and said, “There’s no need, I want to come personally.”

Qin Mu smiled. “In that case, let me protect you.”

“Thank you.”

Qin Mu sat down and closed his eyes to rest. After an unknown period of time, the Paramita Ark was almost completely repaired by Sakra. Huge furnaces were also forged.

Even though Eternal Peace had quite a number of heavenly workers and strong practitioners like Mute, they had yet to refine such a huge furnace.

In terms of precision and microscopicness, Eternal Peace’s refinement technique had already surpassed Sakra Buddha. However, Sakra Buddha was still number one in terms of scale.

Suddenly, the surroundings dimmed, and the huge seal was like a huge landmass that formed a cube around the Paramita Ark. The forest gradually changed, and the land above the Paramita Ark gradually rose up, transforming into a huge face that hung down from the sky.

The ground split open, revealing three huge eyes. They stared with interest at the Paramita Ark that was almost completely repaired.
