Above the Great Dao-Chapter 1561 - 723: Reestablishing the Immortal Dao

In the Immortal Court, the Hidden Dragon Ancestor lay on the sickbed in the Yuan Ting Palace, his breath weak, face pale.

Dozens of Immortal Doctors surrounded the sickbed, studying his injuries, treating them. However, his injuries pertained to the aspects of both the Physical Body and Primordial Spirit, even the Immortal Dao, making these Immortal Doctors find it highly challenging to heal.

Chen Shi paid respects to Hidden Dragon six times consecutively, catching him off guard the first two times and injuring him.

During the third time, he unleashed all his cultivation to block the strike, consequently killing Chen Shi.

The Curse Dao Divine Skills are unique, elusive and unpredictable, hard to defend against. Even if one's cultivation is higher than the caster, it leads to curse killing. But if blocked, the caster faces backlash and dies for sure.

Because of this, Hidden Dragon Ancestor believed the caster to be dead, leaving him unprepared for the subsequent attacks, resulting in failing to defend the fourth and fifth strikes.

He should've defended the sixth strike, but at that point, he was too badly injured to fight back.

If it weren't for Chen Shi being killed after the sixth strike, several more strikes would have resulted in this Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm master, the Immortal Court Right Heavenly Master with unparalleled wisdom, dying at the hands of Chen Shi, a mere Golden Immortal.

The crux of the matter remains as to who wielded the Curse Dao Divine Power so ruthlessly; Hidden Dragon Ancestor still hasn't figured it out.

Furthermore, whenever he tries to think about it, his head feels like splitting apart, causing him unbearable agony.

"Heavenly Master, Your Majesty personally calculated who attacked you, but couldn't deduce the perpetrator's origin."

Standing aside is one of his sixteen disciples, Zuo Gongming, who joined early and deeply understands Primordial Talisman, having replaced his Dao Pattern with it, though having only developed twenty percent of it, with eighty percent cultivation yet to convert.

Zuo Gongming said, "Your Majesty mentioned someone masked the Heavenly Mechanism, redirected causality, forcibly calculating it can only be determined as done by the Immortal Family."

Hidden Dragon Ancestor was moved, blurting out: "Heavenly Mechanism Strategy! The Heavenly Mechanism Strategy wasn't destroyed; it still exists! That person uses the Heavenly Mechanism Strategy to mask the Heavenly Mechanism!"

Upon reaching the True Immortal Realm, Great Dao Phenomena emerge within the Dao Realm, with many being manifestations of the Heavenly Dao.

Phenomena related to the Heavenly Mechanism are numerous as well.

Thus, True Immortals excel at calculations, especially about themselves, with higher accuracy.

The higher the cultivation realm, the stronger the Immortal's ability to calculate the Heavenly Mechanism; even entities like the Immortal Emperor Supreme can trace back eighteen generations of lineage accurately.

Only by using the Heavenly Mechanism Strategy to mask it can they be unable to deduce the cause.

Zuo Gongming asked, "If the Heavenly Master doesn't calculate the Heavenly Mechanism, can you guess who plotted against you?"

Hidden Dragon Ancestor was moved, inexplicably reminded of Chen Shi. Chen Shi learned Primordial Talisman from Chen Yindou, and upon first seeing him, he realized this person was rebellious, harboring hostility toward the Immortal Court, unchangeably.

This person is Chen Yindou's grandson, naturally exceptionally ingenious.

Therefore, he arranged two subsequent measures to use others' hands to kill him.

Logically speaking, upon seeing Fan Xiao, Chen Shi should've already died.

"Zuo Gongming, immediately investigate when Chen Shi ascended to the Heavenly Court. Also, check what happened during that period in the Heavenly Court!"

Zuo Gongming received the order and hurried away.

Half a day later, Zuo Gongming returned, bowing: "Master, Chen Shi's ascension to the Heavenly Court happened twenty-eight years ago."

Hidden Dragon Ancestor asked again, "Shortly after his ascension, did Xi Muran order releasing the Great Demon to destroy the Heavenly Mechanism Strategy?"

Zuo Gongming affirmed, saying: "Reportedly, on that day, he clashed with Yin Fenglou, the General of the Fire Camp of the Heavenly Soldier Camp, accidentally killing Yin Fenglou, and was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison. That very night, Wu Guanyun and others stationed in Heavenly Soldier Camp released the Great Demon, destroying the Heavenly Mechanism Strategy. Following that, East King had him taken out from Heavenly Prison, allowing his return to Heavenly Soldier Camp. Hence, everyone says East King is Chen Shi's backer."

Hidden Dragon Ancestor sneered: "East King is his backer? East King is merely another's pawn pushed forward! Based on East King's status, he cannot appoint Chen Shi as General of the World! What happened afterward?"

Zuo Gongming said: "Before his fight with Yin Fenglou, Chen Shi had Harmonization at Western Heaven Swing, causing Western Heaven Swing to lose a piece. Therefore, King Li used Dao Ruins land to exchange for his Harmonization land in Western Heaven Swing. Chen Shi caused quite a stir in Dao Ruins, drawing many to observe."

Hidden Dragon Ancestor asked: "What did he stir up?"

"Unknown."

Zuo Gongming added, "It's known that all observers are prominent figures of the Immortal Court, far surpassing King Li in status, with no information leaked."

Hidden Dragon Ancestor pondered: "Exchanging Western Heaven Swing's Harmonization land for Dao Ruins land? Western Heaven Swing is merely a training ground, far less valuable than Dao Ruins. Moreover, King Li doesn't have the authority to give Dao Ruins to him. Thus, my sound and shadow won't suffice for Great Heavenly Venerate to dispatch him. Because he's Great Heavenly Venerate's man."

He felt heavily burdened.

Sound and shadow was his second measure, as if Fan Xiao failed to kill Chen Shi, even in Jade Emperor's fury, ordering Chen Shi's death.

But as it stands, the second measure might be ineffective.

Because the Heavenly Mechanism Strategy they destroyed was merely on Jade Emperor's command, and Jade Emperor had long hidden its contents with Chen Shi.

"If the Heavenly Mechanism Strategy is with Chen Shi, then what about other Heavenly Dao Treasures?"

Hidden Dragon Ancestor's face changed, anxiously saying, "Quickly invite the Supreme!"

Soon, Immortal Emperor Supreme arrived, saying, "Heavenly Master, you're wounded, avoid haste, focus on healing."
