Above the Great Dao-Chapter 1346 - 630: Tai Sui God Yin Jiao (Part 2)
The East King felt a thud in his heart, and after accompanying him, they met the Great Heavenly Venerate and discussed for a long time.
Upon returning, the East King said to the Jing Shu Daoist boy, "Go and invite Chen Shi to come over."
The Jing Shu Daoist boy hurriedly went to invite Chen Shi, while the East King rubbed his temples. Previously, he had headaches over Chen Shi's matters, but there were still ways to resolve them. Now it was a solid headache.
It was a long while before the Jing Shu Daoist boy returned and said, "Chen Shi is not at the Heavenly Soldier Camp. He supposedly went out with a Heavenly Soldier named Jiang Guo."
"Not at the Heavenly Soldier Camp?"
The East King's heart sank. "Damn it! The purpose of this trip was to force him out of the Heavenly Court, and now he's gone out on his own!"
The Jing Shu Daoist boy asked, "Did the master and Great Heavenly Venerate discuss anything?"
The East King replied irritably, "Discuss what? The Great Heavenly Venerate merely used his power to pressure me into finding a solution. He can't show himself, so he wants me to. I thought of taking Chen Shi as a disciple, maybe allowing him to escape this calamity. It's maddening! How could Chen Shi cause such a big mess?"
His teeth itched with anger.
The East King's high regard for Chen Shi was actually instructed by the Great Heavenly Venerate. With the Heavenly Mechanism Strategy imprinted on Chen Shi's mind, the Great Heavenly Venerate was determined to protect him but couldn't show himself, thus putting the East King forward.
He initially thought it was a simple matter, but he didn't expect Chen Shi to be the second-ranked rogue on the Immortal Slaying List, colluding with the first rank Black Pot.
Once he realized this, the entire Heavenly Court came to know that he was Chen Shi's backing.
Originally, as long as Chen Shi stayed honestly within the Heavenly Court, there would be no problem. But Chen Shi ran out and killed so many immortals in the Xuanhuang Sea, even nearly half of the victims died, propelling him to the top of the Immortal Slaying List.
These victims weren't particularly powerful, but they were often backed by prominent Immortal families with tangled and complex affiliations involving both Buddhist and Daoist paths.
Even though the East King is the foremost Immortal, he doesn't want to provoke them.
Even the Great Heavenly Venerate must give them some face.
This time, they had the Divine of the Heavenly Court lodge a complaint with the Emperor, showcasing their influence.
Only by taking Chen Shi as his disciple could the foremost male Immortal diffuse this disaster. At that time, Chen Shi's seniority would be considerably high, trained directly by the East King, and would deter anyone wanting to trouble Chen Shi.
But unexpectedly, Chen Shi ran out again!
"At this moment, if he leaves, it would be a dead end, wouldn't it?"
The East King inquired, "What background does this Heavenly Soldier named Jiang Guo have?"
The Jing Shu Daoist boy shook his head, "I don't know."
The East King waved his hand, "Get the Heavenly Mechanism Scholar from the Heavenly Mechanism Camp to investigate."
The Jing Shu Daoist boy accepted the order and went to the Heavenly Mechanism Mansion. After a long while, he returned and said, "Jiang Guo is a disciple from Golden Turtle Island, out for training. In the case of the Mud Bodhisattva last time, Jiang Guo was brought to the Heavenly Soldier Camp by Chen Shi."
The East King was slightly shocked, "A disciple of Golden Turtle Island? How did he get involved with Golden Turtle Island?"
The Jing Shu Daoist boy also didn't understand the reasons.
The East King exhaled a breath and muttered to himself, "Going to Golden Turtle Island could be another way out. But Golden Turtle Island doesn't have a good reputation and has enmities with those powers..."
He looked troubled.
As the foremost male Immortal leading the world's male immortals, the East King knows Golden Turtle Island's notorious reputation well.
Back in the Battle of the Destruction of Shang, both sides killed with red eyes, wishing to uproot the other.
Golden Turtle Island was defeated, with severe casualties and nearly extinct legacy, leading to the later Daoist Tongtian becoming a teacher to pass the teachings, disrupting the Taoist heritage and seizing the ancestral court's fortune.
Since then, the ancestral court's Confucianism flourished, overshadowing Daoism, taking the Three Pure Ones' foundations. It was rumored that for this reason, the Three Pure Ones created the Earth Immortal Realm, relocating the Heavenly Court there, forsaking the ancestral court to open up larger territories.
"Being involved with Golden Turtle Island could lead to trouble."
The East King's heart worried, "They probably don't know they've already been targeted. Whether they can return to Golden Turtle Island is uncertain."
Chen Shi and Jiang Guo sat on the Star Shuttle, with Mystic Sky Aurora swiftly passing by on both sides.
Black Pot lay by the ship's side, with its dog head sticking out, meeting the Mystic Sky Aurora. It had cultivated both the Great Wilderness Ming Dao and the Undying Immortal Method, practicing both Immortal and Demon dual cultivation, its physical body became stronger, even exceeding Chen Shi in robustness, with the Mystic Sky Aurora striking its head, resulting in streams of light without harm.
Black Pot grew even more excited, half its body stuck out, its tongue stretched long, tempered its body with the Mystic Sky Aurora.
"This Black Pot is incredibly physically strong." Chen Shi couldn't help but admire.
Though cultivating the same Undying Immortal Method, Chen Shi progressed far less compared to Black Pot. The inherent strength of Black Pot's physical body meant rapid advancement. However, when it came to the skills like the Mixed Yuan Sword Scripture and the Mixed Yuan Infinite Yang Dao Scripture, Black Pot was far behind Chen Shi.
Jiang Guo, on the other hand, continued to gather Mystic Sky Aurora, unwilling to miss this chance to hone his Sword Qi.
Last time, he collected a lot of Mystic Sky Aurora, integrating it into his Sword Qi, immensely boosting its power.
This time he had even reached the True Immortal Realm, stepping into the first level of Dao Realm of the True Immortal Realm, Taihuang Yellow Zeng Heaven, with greatly increased cultivation, collecting Mystic Sky Aurora more extensively and rapidly than before.
Chen Shi observed this senior brother from Golden Turtle Island, noting Jiang Guo still wore the same old clothes, faded from washing, with straw sandals on his feet, and a hairpin of willow wood in his topknot.
His body didn't bear even a decorative Jade Pendant, clothed in plain garb without any patterns embroidered.
Despite serving as a Heavenly Soldier in the Heavenly Court, earning a substantial salary, he remained the same, indifferent towards appearances.
He is a pure person, with a simple heart, attached to nothing.
Chen Shi couldn't help but feel increased admiration for Jiang Guo. Previously, he promised Jiang Guo that once Jiang Guo achieved True Immortal, he would accompany him to Golden Turtle Island. Now that his grandfather went to the Immortal Court and Jiang Guo reached True Immortal, Chen Shi was fulfilling his promise.
After gathering enough Mystic Sky Aurora, Jiang Guo returned to Chen Shi's side saying, "Junior brother, your attainment in the Mixed Yuan Sword Scripture and Mixed Yuan Dao Scripture still lacks. Even though you are qualified to be a disciple of Golden Turtle Island, acquiring a higher legacy might be difficult."
Chen Shi replied, "Currently, I can only execute sixty-four Sword Qi, and making further progress is difficult. Do you have any teachings for me, senior brother?"
Jiang Guo said, "The main issue lies with the Mixed Yuan Dao Scripture. Your Sword Scripture attainment can feed back into the Dao Scripture. Theoretically, the Dao Scripture should also see great progress, but your divided attention due to other cultivation techniques hinders further mastery. If you forsake other cultivation techniques, your Dao Scripture will undoubtedly advance rapidly, strengthening your Sword Scripture and allowing further progress."
Chen Shi realized, acknowledging his recent excessive distractions.
He was simultaneously cultivating the Mixed Yuan Infinite Yang Dao Scripture, Great Wilderness Ming Dao Collection, and Profound Yin Nine Heavens Technique.
These three cultivation techniques pursued together limited his focus on the Mixed Yuan Dao Scripture. Additionally, his recent contemplation of the Xuanhuang Dao Pattern further diverted his focus, leaving even less for the Mixed Yuan Dao Scripture.
His ability to wield sixty-four Sword Qi relied mostly on the Heavenly Mechanism Strategy and the Fuluo Village Spirit Pill, utilizing little of his innate wisdom.
"On this journey to Golden Turtle Island, unless you achieve a substantial breakthrough, it might be difficult to gain advanced legacy." Jiang Guo remarked.
Chen Shi slightly furrowed his brow. Proud of being the inheritor of the teacher, he couldn't tolerate failing to obtain advanced legacy. However, Golden Turtle Island's assessment focused on the Mixed Yuan Dao Scripture and Sword Scripture, a daunting task for rapid achievement. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
"Even if I want to achieve True Immortal, it's too late. Unless..."
His eyes suddenly brightened, thinking, "Unless I can master the Ninth Form of the Sword Scripture!"
Mixed Yuan Sword Scripture's Ninth Form: Hongmeng Division, Xuanhuang Separation!
Previously, Chen Shi was clueless about this move; even with the Heavenly Mechanism Strategy and the Fuluo Village Spirit Pill, he couldn't comprehend it.
However, after his expedition to the Xuanhuang Sea, receiving the Lady's impartation of the Xuanhuang Dao Pattern, his understanding wasn't utterly blind anymore.
The Xuanhuang Separation in the Sword Scripture did not transcend the profound mysteries in the Xuanhuang Dao Pattern of the Emperor Houtu's Earth God. The only challenge lay in the Hongmeng Division!
"If I can comprehend this sword, will I have a foothold in Golden Turtle Island?"
He immersed himself in the contemplation of the Ninth Form, but just when he was entranced, the Star Road suddenly shook violently, the Star Shuttle emitted a grating creaking sound, pitching erratically as if struck. The Mystic Sky Aurora abruptly ceased, and the Star Shuttle gradually slowed down.
Startled awake, Chen Shi and the other passengers on the Star Shuttle looked forward, dumbfounded.
An enormous Divine emerged between the colossal stars, rising majestically, its sword severing the Star Road, blocking their path.
That Divine bore three heads and six arms, a vertical eye on its forehead, with hair billowing upwards blazing like a red waterfall. Boundless Star Power amassed towards it, making its stature even more radiant than the Sun!
