Above the Great Dao-Chapter 1555 - 720: Heavenly Master Hidden Dragon (Part 2)

Chen Shi felt a pang of sympathy; the lives of these lower-level dragons were not easy.

The Hidden Dragon Ancestor continued, "In the end, those who could become a True Dragon Emperor in the Mortal World were the descendants of noble dragons, and those who became the Four Sea Dragon Kings or the Desert Dragon King in the Mortal World were the descendants of powerful dragons. Even those who became Dragon Kings in the wells of the Mortal World were at least the descendants of Little Official Dragons. As for someone like me, with no background and nothing to my name, I didn't know when I might be captured by a lower-level Immortal, have my dragon liver extracted, and be paired with a lower-level phoenix from the Phoenix Clan to make a Dragon Liver and Phoenix Gall feast for the Immortals."

Chen Shi asked, "How did Brother Dao rise to prominence?"

The Hidden Dragon Ancestor replied, "I once worked as a driver for someone, became a Magical Treasure for someone, and even sold the dragon scales from my body. I once drew my own dragon blood, picked up the dragon teeth I lost, and sold them to others. At my lowest point, I met the Supreme."

He spoke with solemn respect, "I have always been rebellious and disliked socializing with people, living aimlessly for a long time, struggling at the bottom. But meeting the Supreme, for the first time, I felt genuine admiration for someone. He told me not to live like a salted fish, to discover injustice and resist it. He told me to strive for my ideals! I followed him, learned from him, and gradually turned into another dragon. It was then that I discovered the shared inadequacies of the Immortal Dao and the Divine Dao."

Chen Shi said, "You discovered the inadequacies of the Immortal Dao ten thousand years ago. Brother Dao, you are indeed remarkable."

The Hidden Dragon Ancestor said, "But my wisdom and strength alone are too shallow. I collected Divine Patterns and Dao Patterns from around the world, gathered Witch Sacrificial Dao Patterns, and broadly acquired Daoist skills, gradually forming a system. It wasn't until a few thousand years ago that I created the first Primordial Talisman."

Cui Zhenzhen, listening on the side, nodded in agreement, "The beginning of everything is difficult. Creating the first Primordial Talisman was the hardest."

The Hidden Dragon Ancestor's eyes lit up, and he praised, "Young girl, you are very articulate. That's right, creating the first Primordial Talisman was incredibly difficult. But I knew that personal strength alone was insufficient. Since I had taken the first step, I could find others as capable as myself to help take the second and third steps. I found a total of sixteen such individuals. The most intelligent among them was Chen Yindou."

He was full of praise, clearly genuinely admiring Chen Yindou's wisdom.

"Even without me, he would quickly figure out something like the Primordial Talisman by himself."

The Hidden Dragon Ancestor said, "He joined forces with my other disciples to advance the development of the Primordial Talisman, finally bringing it to a usable state. This assassination of Emperor Beiyin was just a small test to verify if the Primordial Talisman was functional. What I am here for is to kill Emperor Beiyin."

Chen Shi's heart raced as he looked at Chen Yindou, "Grandfather, where are the six Taiyi Golden Immortals who joined you in assassinating Emperor Beiyin?"

Before Chen Yindou could respond, the Hidden Dragon Ancestor had already answered, "They fled for six months, leading Tian Peng, Tian You, Yi Sheng, and True Martial away."

Chen Shi said, "Emperor Beiyin must be recuperating and has almost fully recovered from his injuries."

The Hidden Dragon Ancestor smiled, "When he was most injured, the Ziwei Emperor of the Beiji sent many experts to protect him, but now that he's nearly healed, the defense has started to relax. Now is the best time to kill him."

Chen Shi's heart pounded, "Emperor Beiyin's strength is comparable to a Daluo Golden Immortal. Who dares to kill him?"

"I do."

The Hidden Dragon Ancestor smiled, "I'm here to kill him, using the Primordial Talisman to execute him."

His tone was calm, but the content was indeed shocking.

"The Supreme has always wanted to take action against the Heavenly Court, but the Supreme's allies were hesitant and indecisive, unable to make up their minds. Overthrowing the Heavenly Court with just minor skirmishes from the bottom is not enough. The Immortal Court needs a major victory."

The Hidden Dragon Ancestor said, "Such a victory, if executed by the Supreme, wouldn't be as impactful. But carried out by me, an old dragon, is truly shocking enough to make the Supreme's allies decide!"

He got up and walked toward the courtyard, his voice coming from the front, "Heavenly King Chen, Little Wu, Yindou, and the young lady, come witness this moment when the Immortal Dao surpasses the Divine Dao."

Cui Zhenzhen quickly followed, and said swiftly, "Senior, are you planning to infiltrate Fengdu with the Skull Immortal?"

The Hidden Dragon shook his head, "This tactic has already been used once. At this moment, Fengdu Mountain is likely full of Ghost Gods and is rigorously checking for the Skull Immortal. Those immortals who headed down Fengdu Mountain to search for jade have most likely been caught in large numbers."

Cui Zhenzhen was puzzled, "Then how will you enter Fengdu?"

Chen Shi said, "He never needed the Skull Immortal to go down Fengdu Mountain. The last time it was just a ruse to divert the attention of the Six Great Heavenly Palaces onto the Skull Immortal."

Cui Zhenzhen was stunned and murmured, "So, the assassination half a year ago was also a part of your plan? Then how will you get down Fengdu?"

Chen Shi looked at the portal they had entered through ahead and said, "My Uncle Du's Space Technique is unparalleled, especially the skill of creating a portal to travel anywhere."

The Hidden Dragon had already approached that black portal, pushed it open, and smiled, "After Du Yiran came to the Immortal Court, I handed over all the space-related Immortal Laws I had collected to him. In the past, his Space Technique was merely a skill, but now it can be considered a Dao."

He pushed open the door, and in front of him was Fengdu Mountain.

The surrounding yin energy was heavy, and this black portal floated alone before the darkness of Fengdu Mountain, with millions of miles to the Six Great Heavenly Palaces of Fengdu.

Guarding these palaces were the Six Days Old Ghosts, the most malevolent and yin-infused Ghost Gods.

The ghostly army numbered in the millions, with King Yan and the Judge as the governors of the underworld, and the Six Days Old Ghosts as the army, subordinate to Emperor Beiyin!

When the black door appeared before Fengdu Mountain, the ghosts of the Six Great Heavenly Palaces noticed the portal, and the Six Days Old Ghosts immediately stirred into action.

The Hidden Dragon Ancestor wore a smile as he headed towards the Beiyin Emperor Palace on Fengdu Mountain.

His pace was neither fast nor slow, but before the Six Days Old Ghosts could react, he reached the Beiyin Emperor Palace.

Within the palace, Emperor Beiyin also felt the approach of a powerful being of the Immortal Dao, and a formidable presence erupted along with overwhelming yin energy, stirring the winds and clouds of the underworld, sweeping across a thousand miles!

The Hidden Dragon Ancestor entered the palace.

At the same time, the Six Days Old Ghosts of the Six Great Heavenly Palaces swarmed out and rushed in this direction, their momentum like a locust swarm covering the sky, so dense it was impossible to discern just how many fierce Ghost Gods were among them!

Among these Ghost Gods were some extremely powerful entities, likely the leaders of the Six Great Heavenly Palaces!

Their yin energy was extremely heavy, belonging to the mysterious and unpredictable Daoist skills of the underworld. Encountering them rashly, without an opposing army, one would only be polluted by the yin energy, their Daoist practice destroyed, and wisdom lost!

The oncoming charge of the Six Days Old Ghosts was so overwhelming that it even caused space around Fengdu Mountain to ripple like waves.

Chen Shi, standing in the black portal, felt a chill watching this scene.

Although he was a Heavenly King, leading an army of two hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, in front of the Six Days Old Ghosts, he feared that in an instant, the army would be devoured completely by these Ghost Gods!

At this moment, a terrifying tremor emanated from the Beiyin Emperor Palace, colliding with the charge of the Six Days Old Ghosts, causing the area around Fengdu Mountain to suddenly shatter, the space to collapse, and a torrent of wind and fire to pour down!

That was the first confrontation between the Hidden Dragon and Emperor Beiyin.

The second strike followed closely, causing Chen Shi to quickly open his arms, shielding Chen Yindou, Creation Little Five, and Cui Zhenzhen behind him, withstanding the aftershock of this clash of two Daluo-level beings with his physical body.

Among the group, he had the highest cultivation level, and having cultivated the Undying Immortal Method, his Physical Body and Primordial Spirit were nearly indestructible.

The second strike nearly flattened Chen Shi into a heap of mud, but he activated the Undying Immortal Method, rapidly regenerating his Physical Body.

At that moment, the third strike came, even more powerful than the second.

Chen Shi once again braced against this strike, his freshly healed Physical Body shattering once more, leaving only a skeletal head floating in the air, while the rest was destroyed in the impact!

Strange Dao Patterns appeared on the surface of the skull, and Chen Shi's Physical Body began to rapidly regenerate, flesh forming over his face, skin covering the bone, while beneath the head, the neckbone and spine started to form, blood vessels growing, followed by internal organs.

His eyes regrew in the sockets, immediately spotting the Hidden Dragon carrying a giant head in this direction.

"Emperor Beiyin, is dead?!"

The Hidden Dragon calmly approached, reaching the portal before Chen Shi's flesh and body had fully regenerated.

The Hidden Dragon entered the portal and casually closed the door.

With a soft click, the black portal vanished from Fengdu Mountain.

Almost at the same time, the Six Days Old Ghosts, with their vast army of millions of Ghost Gods, surged forward, only to find an empty trap.
