Above the Great Dao-Chapter 1385 - 647: The Destruction of All Heavenly Dao Treasures (Part 2)

Yong Guike said, "This man is named Chen Shi, a Heavenly Soldier from the Heavenly Soldier Camp, a notorious bandit on the Immortal Slaying List, known as the Earth Treasure Thief. He has stolen the Earth Treasure Spirit Roots of over five hundred Immortal Trues. Recently near the Xuanhuang Sea, he killed more than two hundred victims, becoming notorious. He headed to Golden Turtle Island, and Brother Yin Hong went after him, but was blocked by other Divine beings from the Tongtian Lineage within the Heavenly Court. Brother Yin Hong has already reported this matter."

At that time, Chi Jing Immortal was in seclusion and unaware of this matter. Upon hearing it, he said, "Such an evildoer, taken as a disciple by Golden Turtle Island? Ridiculous, truly ridiculous!"

Despite the lack of any smile on his face, he said coldly, "Back then, when Tongtian parted ways with my teacher, he claimed that in passing on education, there should be no discrimination. My teacher advised him to test the character of his disciples, or else taking on creatures and monsters as disciples would only result in greater harm the more skilled they became. Yet, Tongtian Saint refused to listen! Indeed, under Tongtian Saint, there arose those clad in fur and feathers, and hatched from eggs and larvae!"

Growing angrier as he spoke, he sneered, "Tongtian Saint was reincarnated as a teacher, a lineage even worse! This Chen Shi, speaking like a man but acting like a beast, commits all sorts of wrongs, yet was accepted as a disciple! With behavior like his, where's the dignity of a cultivator?"

Fu Gucheng and others echoed his remarks.

Chi Jing Immortal said, "However, the revival of the Yuqing Dao Spring in Penglai West is likely related to him."

Fu Gucheng and others were stunned and asked, "Master, what do you mean by this?"

Chi Jing Immortal said, "This man Chen Shi, like a cunning rabbit, has many skilled individuals hidden within his Dao Ruins. I detected that his Dao Realm is not just one of the Dao Ruins, but also of the Demon Domain, deep and vast, hiding danger. The third Dao Realm is in the Dark Sea, where there is an Outer Dao lurking. This person's background is dubious."

Fu Gucheng asked, "Master, do you mean he comes from the Dark Sea?"

Chi Jing Immortal nodded slightly, saying, "It's very possible. Before he came to Golden Turtle Island, the place had been stationed in Penglai West for two hundred thousand years without the revival of the Yuqing Dao Spring. After he arrived, it revived. It shows that this man has the ability to refine and absorb the Outer Dao."

Fu Gucheng and others were shocked, as the Outer Dao had always been a chronic disease in the Earth Immortal Realm. Certain places in the Earth Immortal Realm would suddenly spawn Great Demons, controlling the Outer Dao, wreaking havoc, while others would generate abnormal points of the Great Dao, breeding horror.

Since the establishment of the Earth Immortal Realm, such chronic diseases had never ceased!

Moreover, areas contaminated by the Outer Dao could not undergo Harmonization, nor could cultivation be practiced there. If such erosion continued, the Earth Immortal Realm would inevitably be completely contaminated by the Outer Dao, leaving no place for Immortals!

Chen Shi can refine and absorb the Outer Dao, which means he can expel the Outer Dao from sacred places like Penglai West, transforming these areas back into the Immortal Realm!

Chi Jing Immortal continued, "Chang Chun Emperor is a Daluo Golden Immortal, rumored to have died long ago, but it turns out he was injured by the Great Dao, lurking in the Dao Ruins. The primary reason Chang Chun Emperor helps Chen Shi is for his ability to refine and absorb the Outer Dao. Chang Chun Emperor intends to use him to remove the chronic disease for himself! It makes sense this way."

Yong Guike hesitated and said, "Master, I heard that King Li gave the Dao Ruins to Chen Shi, and now Chen Shi is the boss there. Could it be that Chang Chun Emperor aids Chen Shi because he is lodging at the Dao Ruins and must favor the boss somewhat?"

Chi Jing Immortal was slightly taken aback, "King Li gave the Dao Ruins to Chen Shi? King Li doesn't have that authority. Besides, the Dao Ruins aren't his to give. It's odd, truly odd, whoever gave the Dao Ruins to Chen Shi has much higher authority than King Li."

Fu Gucheng sternly said, "Master means, King Li was just a decoy, put forth by someone else? That person doesn't want to show themselves and used King Li to benefit Chen Shi."

Chi Jing Immortal laughed, "The Arrow Card that is King Li has long been filled with arrows. When the Earth Immortal Realm was established, many areas were inhospitable, and even the Three Pure Ones couldn't refine them. In desperation, these areas were piled together, forming the Dao Ruins. This place is guarded by the Heavenly Court to prevent any chaos from arising there. In the Heavenly Court, numerous people have more power and authority than King Li, so of course, King Li was put forth by someone else."

He said with interest, "So, who could have put forth King Li then?"

The group was speculating when a Heavenly Court Envoy arrived, bowing to greet, "Immortal Chi Jing, the Heavenly Court has sent me to deliver a letter to you, Immortal."

"Bring it here."

The Heavenly Court Envoy presented the letter, and Chi Jing Immortal opened it, exclaiming in shock, "Is such a thing possible?"

He passed the letter to Fu Gucheng, and Fu Gucheng read it, his face changing dramatically, exclaiming, "The Heavenly Dao Treasures guarding the Earth Immortal Realm were destroyed? Who did it?"

Yong Guike, Chun Daoming, and others crowded in to read it hurriedly, becoming equally astonished.

The letter stated that the night before last at the hour of the Pig, the Heavenly Authority Treasure Seal at the Jade Balance Gate, the Yao Guang Pool, the Nine Thunder Celestial Ball at the Yuqing True King Mansion of the Thunder Department, the Ten Thousand Years Treasure Mirror at the Thick Virtue and Bright Heaven Palace, the Xunfeng Eight Treasure Furnace at Emperor Dongyuan's place, the Heavenly Authority Treasure Seal at Emperor Ziwei of the Beiji's location, the All Things Qinghua Treasure Tree at East Emperor Qingdi's place, among other Heavenly Dao Treasures scattered throughout the Earth Immortal Realm, were all simultaneously attacked and destroyed.

Back when the Three Pure Ones moved the Heavenly Court from the Mortal World to the Earth Immortal Realm to maintain the legitimacy of the Heavenly Court, they refined the thirty-three Heavenly Dao Treasures and gifted them to the Heavenly Court. The Heavenly Court used these treasures to guard the Earth Immortal Realm and all the Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, maintaining the order of heaven, earth, man, god, and ghost.

Unexpectedly, all were destroyed in one night!

"Who on earth did this?" The group discussed endlessly.

Chi Jing Immortal calmed his mind and said to the envoy, "Rest assured, return and report to the Great Heavenly Venerate; I will do my utmost to maintain order in the Earth Immortal Realm and prevent chaos."

The Heavenly Court Envoy acknowledged and took his leave.

Fu Gucheng asked, "Master, who could break thirty-two Heavenly Dao Treasures simultaneously?"

Chi Jing Immortal said, "Of course, thirty-two Daluo Golden Immortals. They made a pact, each lurking in the Heavenly Court, Thunder Department, Dou Department, Wen Department, Beiji, Nanji, Xuanhuang Sea, Green Emperor Palace, and other places. Additionally, each palace needed an insider to find the location of the Heavenly Dao Treasures. With thirty-two Daluo Golden Immortals acting at once, they could shatter these thirty-two Heavenly Dao Treasures at the same time."

He spoke at length, leaving everyone stunned, looking at him.

Yong Guike stammered, "Grandmaster, could one of those thirty-two Daluo Golden Immortals be you...?"

He hesitated, unable to continue.

Chi Jing Immortal laughed, "As everyone knows, I was in seclusion for cultivation at that time; how could I stealthily enter the Nanji Heavenly Palace to strike the Heavenly Book of Li Fire at the hour of the Pig?"

Everyone was shocked and dared not speak.

Chi Jing Immortal laughed, "Do not be suspicious. These thirty-three Heavenly Dao Treasures were refined by the Three Pure Ancestors to maintain the legitimacy of the Heavenly Court. Now that all thirty-three Heavenly Dao Treasures are destroyed, whether the Heavenly Court remains legitimate is uncertain."

Chen Shi returned to the Dao Ruins Dao Realm, arriving in Fuluo Village, thanking the villagers, ducks, and dogs. The tenant farmers, having received the approval of the grand lord, were full of gratitude.

Chen Shi bid farewell to them and went to Chang Chun Emperor's Knowledge Palace, entering the Mingfei Pavilion.

"Thanks to the emperor for the rescue, Chen Shi is truly grateful."

Chang Chun Emperor gently raised a hand and said, "My old injuries still persist, makes it inconvenient to return the courtesy. Please sit, boss."

Chen Shi took his seat.

Chang Chun Emperor smiled and said, "The powers of Chi Jing Immortal are extraordinary. If not for his injury, I wouldn't have been able to force him to retreat." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Chen Shi was surprised, "Chi Jing Immortal is injured?"

Chang Chun Emperor said, "The injury is significant, but his cultivation is so pure and profound that it's not apparent. If he hadn't directly collided with me, I wouldn't have detected his injuries. The one who injured him has extremely high cultivation power, even more than I, but this person must be a Divine being. The scent of incense lingers in Chi Jing Immortal's wound."
