"Unreliable."

Chen Shi shook his head and said, "But he shouldn't report me to Mr. Huaiyi. He and I are like grasshoppers tied on the same rope. If he reports me, I can also report him."

Little Dun Fairy said, "If you complete the Sutra of Eternal Freedom, he will obtain the complete cultivation technique, and his power will certainly advance by leaps and bounds. If he becomes an enemy, he will be even more difficult to deal with."

Chen Shi said leisurely, "The complete cultivation technique he got was also given to him by me. No need to worry. Besides, who can guarantee that the complete cultivation technique I comprehend is really complete?"

Facing such a contrary existence as Mr. Huaiyi, even Chen Shi cannot guarantee.

"But in recent months, Daoist Huangfu might show mercy when facing my dirt body." Chen Shi laughed.

Little Dun asked suspiciously, "Who might be the opposing force against Daoist Huangfu? Daoist Huangfu is so formidable, whoever opposes him yet survives must indeed be someone influential in the Heavenly Court."

In the subsequent months, as Chen Shi anticipated, when Daoist Huangfu led the experts of the Three Pure Ones Realm to search for the Three Pure Ones Demon Suppression Well, he showed mercy when encountering Chen Shi's dirt body, allowing Chen Shi's dirt body to steal the Demon Refining Cauldron.

Chen Shi also noticed that another force was indeed searching for the Three Pure Ones Demon Suppression Well, and their methods were extremely meticulous. Even when his dirt body arrived at the well, he often found only an empty well.

"Someone in the Heavenly Court intends to use the Great Demon to plot against the Immortal Court!"

Chen Shi was somewhat shocked. Are everyone's methods so filthy?

"Yes, they are indeed filthy." He confirmed this thought.

Daoist Huangfu waited for four months, still without news of Chen Shi, growing increasingly anxious.

"Is there a flaw in the Sutra of Eternal Freedom?"

He was tormented by various thoughts in his Dao Heart, his appearance withering, eyes bloodshot, each thought in his heart battling fiercely.

"Is Heavenly King Chen merely tricking me for my cultivation technique?"

"Will he disclose me to my master?"

"If he comprehends the complete cultivation technique, will he harvest me?"

...

Various thoughts tormented him, making it increasingly unbearable.

One day, Daoist Huangfu was healing in the Forgetful Realm, suddenly receiving news: "Master, a person claiming to be an old acquaintance is here to visit."

Daoist Huangfu met the visitor, a lecherous Chen Shi, flirting with his maid. Seeing Daoist Huangfu arrive, he reluctantly ceased.

Daoist Huangfu suppressed his excitement and dismissed the others, saying, "Heavenly King Chen, what brings you to seek me?"

The dirt body of Chen Shi eyed him, surprised, "Daoist friend, injured again? What happened?"

Daoist Huangfu said, "I encountered an ambush by the Heavenly Court, nearly lost my life. The person from the Heavenly Court is also searching for the Demon Refining Cauldron, calculated against me, using preparation against unpreparedness, killed all the experts from the Three Pure Ones Realm and Western Heaven by my side, only I escaped alive."

The dirt body of Chen Shi was startled.

At this time, controlling the dirt body was Chen Shi's true form. Because the dirt body was closest to the Forgetful World, he used this form to meet Daoist Huangfu. Unexpectedly, Daoist Huangfu was heavily injured!

Daoist Huangfu's prowess, he knew best; to withstand one blow without dying, to endure three strikes unscathed, and receiving the tribulation's backlash, such methods he greatly admired.

Unexpectedly, he was schemed against, nearly lost his life!

"Did Daoist friend not use the Sutra of Eternal Freedom to let those scheming against you suffer the tribulation?" Chen Shi asked.

Daoist Huangfu shook his head, "The ambush was exceedingly clever, precisely outside the effective range of my divine skills. They never showed themselves, but used a Three Pure Ones Demon Suppression Well to lure us into the ambush, nearby using arrays to trap us, afar raising magical treasures. The array broke our Dao Realm, the magical treasures bombarded from afar, each of our cultivation techniques, divine skills, and magical treasures were meticulously calculated against, all targeting our Daoist skills. Therefore, the experts who followed me to search for the Demon Well were killed or injured immediately upon triggering the ambush."

Chen Shi's heart leapt, such methods reminded him of an old acquaintance.

"Tianqing is still in the Heavenly Immortal Realm, can't be here. Could it be..."

Daoist Huangfu interrupted his thoughts, and said, "Heavenly King, have you comprehended the complete Sutra of Eternal Freedom?"

Chen Shi solemnly said, "It's a lucky success, the cultivation technique is completed. Daoist friend, take a look."

He slowly raised his hand, True Yuan automatically condensed into the Dao Pattern of the Tribulation Path.

Daoist Huangfu stared intently at the constantly forming Dao Pattern at his fingertip. The Dao Pattern displayed by Chen Shi was precisely the Dao Pattern hidden in his cultivation technique!

"Daoist Huangfu, the foundational structure of the Tribulation Path taught by your master is incomplete."

Chen Shi's fingertip Dao Pattern danced like spirit butterflies, more Dao Patterns interweaved, akin to strange talismans constantly leaping, weaving the mysteries of the Great Dao. The Dao Pattern he demonstrated had already surpassed the Dao Patterns within the cultivation techniques taught by Mr. Huaiyi!

The Dao Patterns at his fingertip became increasingly complex, increasingly dense, encompassing more and more information.

Daoist Huangfu's heart spirit shook, his heart filled with disappointment and bitterness.

Others might not discern the profoundness of this Dao Pattern, but he could. The Tribulation Path Dao Pattern completed by Chen Shi would make the Sutra of Eternal Freedom more perfect, more flawless!

The revised Sutra of Eternal Freedom utterly crushed the previously flawed Sutra of Eternal Freedom!

The cultivation technique taught by his master indeed held significant loopholes.

His disappointment and bitterness came from this realization.

After all, throughout, he held deep respect and admiration for this mentor, though doubting the technique's loopholes internally, he maintained a sliver of hope, believing he might be the exception.

Until this very moment, his sliver of hope was completely shattered.

"So, I was merely a leek waiting to be harvested by him." He smiled as tears fell.

Chen Shi completed the Dao Patterns, and explained the Great Dao's mysteries to Daoist Huangfu one by one, taking ten days to finish, without missing a detail.

"Perhaps there are even more complete Dao Patterns for the Tribulation Path, but my ability only reaches this step."

Chen Shi said, "If Daoist friend wishes to verify whether this method is the True Skill, I have a way. When you cultivate this method, you'll sense others in this world who also practice this method. These people are those who cultivated the harvested method. Please verify, Daoist friend."

Daoist Huangfu hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and activated the completed cultivation technique.

Upon initiating the cultivation method, he instantly sensed that, among hundreds of millions of worlds across the Earth Immortal Realm and Xuanhuang Sea, there were still many people cultivating this same method!

These people were scattered throughout the Great Thousand Worlds!

Their cultivation techniques might not be called the Sutra of Eternal Freedom, perhaps greatly differing from the original harvesting technique, no longer recognizable, but were all leeks cultivated by those practicing the True Skill!

The Earth Immortal Realm, and All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, were like Mr. Huaiyi's boundless fertile fields!

Daoist Huangfu's face turned ashen, dejectedly said, "Master never ceased harvesting others..."

Chen Shi saw this, and joyfully said, "Seems I wasn't wrong in my repair!"

Daoist Huangfu seemed even more dejected.

Chen Shi pondered, and said, "Yet curiously, neither the Three Pure Ones Realm nor Western Heaven has ever hunted him. On the contrary, this time to deal with Emperor Changsheng, the Three Pure Ones Realm invited him to act. There's certainly something strange here."

Daoist Huangfu said, "Every time an Opening Tribulation occurs, the experts from the Three Pure Ones Realm protect our master and disciple."

"So that's how it is."

Chen Shi suddenly realized, the Three Pure Ones Realm protects Mr. Huaiyi, thus he has no need to continue harvesting; perhaps he owes a favor to the Three Pure Ones Realm, or holds a stain over the Three Pure Ones Realm, hence acted against Emperor Changsheng this time.

"Daoist Huangfu, I've compensated the missing Dao Pattern Forehead for you, and obtained the Sutra of Eternal Freedom; you and I owe each other nothing. Daoist friend, hopefully you and I will not be enemies in the future." Chen Shi rose to bid farewell.

Daoist Huangfu invigorated his spirit, and said, "I wish to be an enemy to anyone but Heavenly King. Heavenly King Chen is too terrifying, I am deeply apprehensive."

Saying this, he recalled the ambush he encountered; the unseen opponent was also extremely formidable, knowing him deeply.

"However, unaware, he doesn't know I've already obtained the complete Sutra of Eternal Freedom. Next time he calculates against me, he will surely die by my hand!" He thought to himself.

Chen Shi's dirt body bid farewell and left, just as he exited the Forgetful Realm, he heard a mocking voice: "Among Immortal Gods, relentless battles, raging everywhere, yet True King colludes with both Heavenly Court and Immortal Court, riding two boats; how leisurely and contented."

Chen Shi laughed heartily, turned around, his eyes showing uncontrollable joy.

"Daoist Yang Bi, long time no see!"
