Above the Great Dao-Chapter 1350 - 632: Providing Safe Passage

"Monarch Yin is indeed formidable; he wounded me. Though he was originally not my equal, he was enshrined as the Tai Sui God and holds a higher divine office than I do. After cultivating for over three hundred thousand years, his divine power has far surpassed mine. If he uses his sect's magical treasure, it would be difficult for me to survive under his hand."

Lonely Star Lord sighed, "After becoming a divine, your cultivation isn't judged by personal aptitude and insight, but by the rank of your divine office. Higher office means more incense offerings and greater strength. Ha, everything has long been fated. The Heavenly Court is merely a game of The Three Pure Ones, and my Tongtian Lineage is nothing but a pawn manipulated in this game."

His words were rebellious, given that the current Heavenly Court was orchestrated by The Three Pure Ones, and the Earth Immortal Realm was also established by them. Fortunately, there were no outsiders present.

"Monarch Yin was instructed by another, which compelled him to come here; he has no desire to risk his life."

Lonely Star Lord continued, "After this battle, he can go back and report."

Chen Shi asked, "I heard senior brother refer to him as His Highness just now. What is this Monarch Yin's background?"

Lonely Star Lord replied, "He was originally the Crown Prince of Great Shang. King Zhou wanted to kill him, but he escaped and apprenticed under Guang Chengzi. Later, he rebelled and returned to Great Shang, ultimately meeting a tragic end. He is also a pitiful person, controlled by the tides of the world, and unable to find freedom. I have a divine office to attend to and cannot stay long."

He rose into the air, transforming into a strand of starlight and vanished without a trace, his speed astounding.

His voice echoed from afar, "Surely there are other divines who wish to harm you, but don't worry, I invited some help for you! Haha, my Golden Turtle Island is finally going to prosper, just five hundred years, and already another junior brother emerges. I dare to see who has such skill..."

Lonely Star Lord's voice vanished, and Chen Shi did not hear what he said afterward.

The Star Shuttle continued on its journey, and the surrounding star domain grew increasingly desolate; where once thousands of stars could be seen, now there were but a scant few.

They arrived at a star gate and docked in the harbor.

Jiang Guo said, "There is no direct Star Shuttle to Golden Turtle Island; we must transfer to another Star Shuttle heading to Penglai West."

After a while, they boarded another Star Shuttle and continued their journey.

There were only a dozen or so passengers on this Star Shuttle.

The star domain ahead became even more desolate, with only a handful of stars visible occasionally.

Even the Mystic Sky Aurora outside the ship appeared thin now, and Black Pot withdrew its head, ceasing to use the Mystic Sky Aurora to refine its physical body.

"Black Pot, if your physical body were strong enough, I could place you into the Sword Nurturing Gourd, using the Xuanhuang Sword Qi inside to refine your physical body," Chen Shi coaxed.

Black Pot looked as though it saw through him long ago.

At this moment, many stars appeared in the sky, drawing the attention of other passengers; someone exclaimed, "Those stars are moving!"

Chen Shi gazed upward, seeing stars speeding along the night sky, their swiftness surpassing even that of the Star Shuttle!

"It's other forces from the Heavenly Court pursuing me!"

Chen Shi's heart pounded fiercely. He squinted and attempted to discern what those stars truly were, but the distance was too great to see clearly.

He felt his heart stir and activated the Great Wilderness Ming Dao Collection, sensing the Ancient Star Realm, instantly perceiving the star power embedded within those distant stars!

"Five Grain Stars! Jiazi Tai Sui! And countless Grain Gods and Sui Gods!"

Chen Shi sensed carefully and suddenly looked astonished, turning toward the dark starry sky ahead of the Star Shuttle.

He felt within that darkness innumerable bright star power accumulating, its path terribly fierce!

Yet, it was clearly a patch of darkness.

With Five Grain Gods and Jiazi Tai Sui Star Lord leading countless Grain Gods and Sui Gods transformed into the starlight, they moved swiftly toward the Star Shuttle, and at the speed of starlight, it would only be moments before colliding with the Star Shuttle.

The passengers aboard the Star Shuttle were already crying out in panic, scrambling like headless flies searching for hiding places.

Then, in the dark sky, countless stars suddenly lit up, instantly turning the darkness into dazzling brilliance, blocking the starlight pursuing the Star Shuttle!

The stars halted in the night sky, as though confronted by an impregnable wall, unable to surpass.

The Star Shuttle raced away, its distance increasing.

Chen Shi looked back, only to see the sparkling starry sky quickly receding, disappearing from his view. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

He pondered, "Are the stars that blocked the pursuers my brothers from Golden Turtle Island?"

In that starry sky, Jiazi Tai Sui Yang Ren and Monarch Yang's face sunk, standing side by side with Five Grain Star Lord Yin Hong and Yin Star Lord, with numerous Sui Gods and Grain Gods behind them, gazing at the god-demon army in front like a long wall, the two felt vaguely uneasy.

From the opposite Heavenly God Camp rose banners of plague, beneath which stood Plague Gods, exuding air of pestilence, each one fierce and menacing, blocking their way.

From the camp's center came a sudden sound of thunder, followed by loud drums, as six plague god envoys raised banners, positioned left and right, with the Mystic Altar in the middle. Emperor of Plague Haotian Lü Yue sat atop the altar, his expression genial, laughed, "Fellow Daoists, it's been a while. I never expected to meet here. Where are the two going?"

Monarch Yang replied, "We two are off duty, wandering with idle thoughts, traveling around. Emperor of Plague, where are you heading?"

Emperor of Plague chuckled, "A sudden outbreak of plague occurred in Dao San Continent, so I lead my men to quell the plague and accumulate merits. Now returning with the epidemic pacified, I happen to meet you. Since you are aimlessly traveling, why not come to my Wen Department as guests for a few days?
