Above the Great Dao-Chapter 1341 - 628: Honest Child
In his opinion, Chen Shi wasn't just buying people's hearts on a large scale?
It's like he had "I want to rebel" written on his face!
Even if the Immortal Court wants to rebel, they do it covertly, sending people to destroy the Heavenly Mechanism Strategy first, cutting off the Heavenly Court's control over newly ascended Immortals, and plotting steadily.
Chen Shi is practically waving a flag in front of the Great Heavenly Venerate, shouting "I want to rebel, come and kill me."
"If I were the Great Heavenly Venerate, upon hearing this, I would immediately order King Li to have him killed."
Xi Muran shook his head; this young junior brother is really worrisome.
"It's very difficult to buy people's hearts, especially the hearts of Immortals. But this time he seized the opportunity and could truly succeed in winning the hearts of two hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals."
Xi Muran sighed, "This young junior brother, though careless in his actions, indeed has something extraordinary about him."
Wu Guanyun, Lord Wu hesitated for a moment, and said, "Young Master Xi, is he really the junior disciple of the master?"
Though he had seen Chen Shi demonstrate the Great Wilderness Ming Dao Collection, he still had doubts about Chen Shi's identity.
Xi Muran nodded, "He indeed is the successor of the master, and the master favors him over me."
As he said this, he thought of the scene where he lost to Chen Shi in battle, feeling somewhat gloomy. The master didn't pass on the true Great Wilderness Ming Dao Collection to him but gave it to this young junior brother Chen Shi, and even among the Divine Skills taught to him, the strongest one was missing.
Wu Guanyun hesitated again, then said, "Young Master Xi, the injuries in the Heavenly Soldier Camp are quite numerous, many obtained in the Mud Great World. And Mud Great World, I heard it was Mr. Chen who told King Li, King Li reported to the Heavenly Court, and the Heavenly Court decided to use force against Mud Great World..."
Xi Muran's body slightly trembled, unable to speak for a moment.
"A brilliant method, a brilliant method indeed."
He breathed out a foul air, feelings of admiration spontaneously sprang forth, "My young junior brother indeed has brought the art of scheming to the peak! He informed King Li about Mud Great World, King Li dispatched troops to Mud Great World, the Heavenly Soldiers were injured, he seized the opportunity to impart the Undying Immortal Method to them, winning their hearts. His methods are truly cunning!"
Though speaking thus, he praised Chen Shi more, saying, "There's just one thing, how can he pass the hurdle of the Great Heavenly Venerate? After all, he's at the top of the Immortal Slaying List, and now many Immortal Trues have come to lodge complaints, saying he kills the innocent recklessly. The Great Heavenly Venerate can just take this as a reason to execute him."
Wu Guanyun dared not speak.
Although Xi Muran and Chen Shi are fellow junior disciples under the same master, Wu Guanyun is unsure whether Xi Muran's view of Chen Shi is good or bad.
"I suppose soon there will be news of him being brought to the Immortal Slaying Stage." Xi Muran said leisurely.
In the following days, Xi Muran never received news of Chen Shi being brought to the Immortal Slaying Stage. On the contrary, Heavenly Dao Residence was bustling as ever, Chen Shi was imparting the Undying Immortal Method there, and various Heavenly Soldiers and Generals admired him greatly, showing him much respect.
Among the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals in the Heavenly Soldier Camp, many were people from the Immortal Court. Someone compiled the Undying Immortal Method taught by Chen Shi and sent it to Xi Muran. As Xi Muran read through it, he was quite moved, "He said this cultivation technique is the source of the Undying Golden Body and Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill, indeed there is some ancient meaning within it. The source of this technique contains the Witch Sacrifice Technique, likely evolved from the cultivation methods of the Great Shang Era."
Wu Guanyun inquired, "Can this technique regrow severed limbs and revive shattered bones?"
"It can!"
Xi Muran carefully read through it, saying, "This technique is less exquisite than the Undying Golden Body Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill, and the time taken for the regrowth of fingers and the revival of shattered bones is longer, but it can indeed be achieved. It's strange, where did this young junior brother find such a cultivation technique containing the ancient flavor of Great Shang?"
He was somewhat puzzled; nowadays, the Immortals obtain Immortal Laws that are newly created, following the path of talismanic Daoist patterns, showing no trace of Great Shang.
The Undying Immortal Method taught by Chen Shi, however, clearly bore the flavor of Great Shang.
It's not to say the present is inferior to the ancient, rather Xi Muran, after thousands of years of dedicated cultivation, discovered a peculiar phenomenon: when present Daoist Skills reach their utmost point, breakthroughs become difficult, and at such times, seeking their origin often provides inspiration and directions for breakthroughs from the Daoist Skills of the Great Shang Era!
The higher his cultivation gets, the more he feels that tracing the origins of Daoist Skills might allow him to break through!
"This cultivation technique is worth studying."
He put away the Undying Immortal Method and said to Wu Guanyun, "Since the Heavenly Mechanism Strategy was destroyed, has there been any movement from the Heavenly Court?"
Wu Guanyun shook his head, "None at all."
Xi Muran was surprised, muttering, "The Heavenly Mechanism Strategy was destroyed, the number of Immortals ascending to the Heavenly Court will decrease, relying solely on the Jade Balance Gate cannot ascertain the identity and location of the Immortals from the Mortal World. The Heavenly Soldiers in the Heavenly Soldier Camp will dwindle, ultimately sinking into a situation of having no one available. The Heavenly Court is not worried about this at all?"
Wu Guanyun said, "The Heavenly Court is indeed worried, and even sent people to investigate the origin of the Great Demon, traced it to the Demon Refining Well, but we handled it cleanly, leaving no traces behind. The Heavenly Court couldn't find anything, thus had to drop the matter."
Xi Muran glanced at him but remained silent.
The release of the Great Demon was carried out by Wu Guanyun, but the main instigator who lured the Great Demon to attack the Heavenly Court and destroy the Heavenly Mechanism Strategy was Xi Muran.
The Heavenly Mechanism Strategy was destroyed, and he was greatly accomplished, yet he always felt uneasy because the Heavenly Court's reaction was too indifferent, as if the destruction of the Heavenly Mechanism Strategy was no big deal!
Wu Guanyun said, "The Heavenly Court indeed values the Heavenly Mechanism Strategy being destroyed, immediately ordering the Heavenly Mechanism Cultivators of the Heavenly Mechanism Camp to submit the various Heavenly Mechanism Dao Patterns they realized, attempting to recreate the Heavenly Mechanism Strategy. Just haven't succeeded yet."
