Above the Great Dao-Chapter 1352 - 633: Two Dogs Cannot Share a Mountain

The island is true to its name; Golden Turtle Island looks from afar like a giant tortoise, with ancient mountains and black rocks, very grand.

"Golden Turtle Island was originally golden, but after moving here, it slowly turned black."

Perhaps because he was about to return home, Jiang Guo was very happy and talked more, saying to Chen Shi, "Legend has it that Golden Turtle Island was originally a golden tortoise. At that time, under the Heavenly Emperor, Gonggong and Zhu Rong, two divine officers fought, breaking the sky, so Wa Huang mended the sky and chopped off the limbs of a golden turtle as pillars to support the sky. The turtle, without legs, became Golden Turtle Island."

This story was probably told to him by his elders, with some far-fetched connections.

"After countless years, our lineage established itself on Golden Turtle Island. Besides Golden Turtle Island, there are places like Penglai, Jiulong Island, and the Three Immortal Islands, mainly Penglai. However, during the battle of the Destruction of Shang, they were all destroyed, and Penglai was occupied, leaving only Golden Turtle Island as a foothold."

Jiang Guo said, "Later, when the Earth Immortal Realm opened, our lineage had no status in it. Fortunately, Penglai West was plagued by demonic disasters, and no one wanted it, so we seized the opportunity."

Chen Shi glanced at him, seeing his simple smile, clearly proud of having a foothold.

"In our Penglai West Unity, no one competes with us!"

Jiang Guo's face was brimming with happiness, saying, "Our lineage has never worried about the issue of Harmonization. Just one thing, sometimes exotic things appear in the Harmonization Land, along with remnants of great demons. Be careful not to be possessed."

As they spoke, they arrived at the gate of Golden Turtle Island, which should have been guarded by divine beasts or Daoists, but beside the gate was only a small dog, chained with a chain thicker than the dog.

Seeing them, the dog bared its teeth and barked loudly, despite its small size, its voice echoing throughout the mountains, sounding fierce, and even pulling the large iron chain taut, as if it would rush forward and attack them if not chained!

Black Pot approached the dog and bared his teeth at it.

The dog stopped barking, staring darkly at Black Pot.

"Zheng!"

Its paws suddenly released sharp nails, like blades, picking at the meat stuck between its teeth.

Black Pot was greatly surprised. He raised his hand and grabbed the loose skin on the back of the dog's head, lifting it up to inspect it closely.

"Be careful, that's a gourd dog."

Jiang Guo said, "It's too fierce, that's why it's tethered here to guard the gate. Be careful, it might bite or stab you a few times. It's quite vicious!"

The gourd dog, though small in stature, extended its claws forward, trying to stab at Black Pot's heart, but couldn't reach.

Black Pot put it down, and the gourd dog turned to saw the chain with its claws, glaring ominously at Black Pot.

"It holds grudges. Black Pot, be careful." Jiang Guo said.

Black Pot followed them up the mountain. When they reached mid-mountain, Black Pot looked back to see the gourd dog still sawing the chain at the mountain gate, still glaring at them.

"Brother Qiao!"

They arrived at a palace, Jiang Guo shouted, "Senior Sister Jing! Master Jiao!"

He rushed into the palace, while Chen Shi waited outside, looking around. The palace seemed to be carved from beautiful jade, with the words Biyou Palace on the lintel.

Not far from Biyou Palace, there was a spirit garden planted with spiritual medicine. Chen Shi glanced at it, seeing about dozens of immortal elixirs planted, but most were wilting, looking half-dead.

"Immortal elixirs need to be watered with immortal spirit qi to grow well. Is there insufficient immortal spirit qi here?"

He noticed an immortal well nearby, walked over and looked inside, seeing the immortal energy emerging was impure, mixed with exotic spiritual energy, with an unpleasant smell.

Just then, a dog barked halfway up the mountain, presumably the gourd dog.

Black Pot heard the barking and quietly left.

The gourd dog at the mountain gate had unwittingly sawed through the chain and, the palm-sized dog was rushing furiously up the mountain.

Soon, barking sounds came from midway up the mountain, as two dogs fought.

Chen Shi glanced towards the mountain and continued to inspect the surroundings. On the other side of Biyou Palace hung a spiritual spring, which must have been magnificent back in the day, but the spring had also been contaminated, producing immortal energy that carried exotic spiritual energy.

Behind him came a woman's voice: "That spiritual spring is the famous Yuqing Dao Spring! Penglai West's Yuqing Dao Spring is renowned; consuming from the spring allows one to comprehend profound Daoist skills."

Chen Shi turned and saw Jiang Guo walking arm in arm with a graceful woman. Her features were delicate, dressed in a gown of golden brown diamond patterns, her hair styled in a cloud-gathering bun, slender brows arched, lightly adorned, instantly charming anyone who looked upon her.

However, she was limping, walking with a crutch.

"You must be Junior Brother Chen Shi?"

The woman scrutinized Chen Shi, smiling, "I heard you received the inheritance of Master Yu Yuan? Master Yu Yuan's cultivation techniques and divine skills are extremely peculiar; for you to survive is remarkable! I'm Jing Mei, your senior sister."

"Senior Sister Jing."

Chen Shi bowed in greeting, saying, "I dare not claim to be Master Yu Yuan's disciple; I merely obtained the Heavenly Net Blood Transformation Divine Sword by chance, and studied the Blood Lake Scripture, achieving modest results. The Blood Lake Scripture is not my main focus."

Jiang Guo interjected, "Junior Brother Chen received the Mixed Yuan Dao Scripture and Mixed Yuan Sword Scripture left by our teacher and has achieved noteworthy accomplishments."
