The Great Demon is the child of destiny under the Dark Sea Heavenly Dao, born with the great fortune to defy fate itself, unable to be killed, unable to be refined. Yet to think it would perish under this tree!

Yang Bi murmured, "You can refine the Great Demon's skeleton? This is a great boon. If the Immortal Court and Heavenly Court knew about this, perhaps they'd turn their swords into..."

He stopped speaking there, not continuing his thought.

The conflicts between the Immortal Court and Heavenly Court were not caused by the Great Demon. Whether or not the Great Demon existed, they would still go to war.

"True King, I am here on my master's orders, searching everywhere for the Demon Suppression Well, and have also collected many Demon Refining Cauldrons. These cauldrons will be sent to the Heavenly Court."

Yang Bi pondered for a moment, then said, "They are currently stored in the Dou Mansion's treasury. You need a warrant from my master, Dou Mu Primordial Monarch, to open it. The Primordial Monarch is extremely fair and impartial, but it is certain he will not give you a warrant to open the treasury."

Chen Shi smiled, "Thank you."

With a slight thought, his Tribulation Body and Greedy Body immediately went to see the Doumu Primordial Monarch.

Doumu Primordial Monarch publicly appeared to be the most fair and impartial individual, yet he was always very considerate of Golden Turtle Island and Chen Shi, afraid that others would bully them.

Yang Bi said, "You helped Huangfu Jun repair his cultivation technique; are you not afraid he might turn against you? After all, he is not from the West Bull New Continent and not necessarily of one mind with you."

Chen Shi smiled slightly, relaxed, and said, "I used Immortal Dao Patterns to complete his cultivation technique. But my Daoist Skills have long since been altered to Primordial Talismans. If he attempts to use the Sutra of Eternal Freedom against me, he will only die faster and more miserably."

Yang Bi was slightly moved, "Primordial Talisman? The same talisman that killed Beidi?"

Chen Shi nodded lightly, "The Primordial Talisman is 80% complete and has yet to reach perfection. But it is already usable, far surpassing both Immortal Dao Patterns and Divine Dao Patterns."

Yang Bi looked toward the Forgetful Realm and said softly, "Will he become an ally?"

Chen Shi said, "He must become an ally!"

Even as he said this, he couldn't help but think of the scenes of Zhong Wuwang and Yun Cheng, the old monk, confronting the Sutra of Eternal Freedom.

Both were extremely eager for this cultivation technique, but they knew that cultivating it would lead them to uncontrollably transfer their own tribulations to others. After careful consideration, they ultimately chose to relinquish any memories of this cultivation technique, so as not to be ensnared by its allure.

The most attractive aspect of the Sutra of Eternal Freedom is its ability to transfer one's own tribulations to others, smoothly passing through the Opening Tribulation!

And once Huangfu Jun cultivated the technique completed by Chen Shi, he would discover that he too could transfer his tribulations to the Earth Immortal Realm and the myriad worlds' practitioners of pseudo techniques!

"Long ago, when Mr. Huaiyi planted the seeds, they have already blossomed throughout all heavens and the myriad worlds, Earth Immortal Realm. I'm afraid there are countless immortals who have cultivated his pseudo techniques. Among them, many immortals have already become powerful Golden Immortals, Taiyi Golden Immortals, and perhaps even Daluo!"

Now that Huangfu Jun, like his master Mr. Huaiyi, possesses the power to harvest these individuals' tribulations, can he resist the temptation?

"If he is not our ally, then he will die a horrible death," Chen Shi said indifferently.

Yang Bi took his leave, preparing to depart, leading this group of Immortal Gods to continue their search for Demon Suppression Wells.

Chen Shi pondered for a moment, saying, "Daoist Yang, if you have time, make a trip to Golden Turtle Island. I'll pass on the Primordial Talisman to you. Additionally, there's the Sutra of Eternal Freedom; I'd like you to help study it, seeking its flaws."

Yang Bi shook his head, "The Star Gate leading to Penglai West was dismantled by bandits. Now, to go there we have to fly, and I don't know how long it will take to reach Golden Turtle Island. Moreover, there are bandits along the way. Rumor has it they've killed six or seven groups of Heavenly Court envoys. I'm worried I won't survive the journey to Golden Turtle Island."

Chen Shi laughed, "Golden Turtle Island is well known in the Penglai West region. As long as you say you are an old acquaintance of mine, no one will trouble you."

Yang Bi said, "I fear those bandits won't let me speak before they hack me apart."

Chen Shi hesitated, "How about this: I'll tell the bandits when I return to let you pass when they see you?"

Yang Bi said, "When this matter is settled, I will find you through your Dirt Body. When your Dirt Body summons this well, I will enter the well, and you can then summon the well again, allowing me to exit onto Golden Turtle Island."

Chen Shi praised, "That's a good idea. Daoist friend, I shall continue my seclusion then."

He retracted his consciousness, and Chen Shi's dirt body immediately regained autonomy.

Just as Yang Bi was about to leave, Chen Shi's dirt body said, "Daoist Yang, please wait."

Yang Bi stopped, and Chen Shi's dirt body smiled, "Daoist friend, the fairies you used to tempt me earlier, could you perhaps..."

"No."

"When you fish, you must get the bait into the fish's mouth, not fear that the fish will eat it!"

"I cannot tarnish the True King's lifelong reputation."

Yang Bi led his group away.

Chen Shi's dirt body left in a rage, swearing as he went.

Two months later, while Yang Bi was still searching for other Demon Suppression Wells, news came from the Dou Department that someone had robbed the Dou Mansion's treasury and taken all the Demon Refining Cauldrons.

Yang Bi was shocked, stamping his foot, "These Demon Refining Cauldrons are treasures our soldiers fought hard for; how could they be forcibly taken away? What are we to do?"

Over at Huangfu Jun's side, there was some trouble as well. Despite searching for Demon Suppression Wells, they often came up empty, finding only an empty well devoid of any Cauldrons.

He encountered Yang Bi a few times, and both sides were wary, not daring to act rashly. After withdrawing, they went their separate ways.

Yang Bi attempted to follow Huangfu Jun, trying to discern the limits of his divine skills and how to break them, but after watching from a distance a few times, he quickly abandoned this idea.

The Eternal Freedom Sutra that was completed by Chen Shi was unbelievably powerful, and its scope was astonishingly vast.

"It truly is an astonishing cultivation technique."

He ceased his search for Demon Worship Wells and returned to report to the Doumu Primordial Monarch.

Doumu Primordial Monarch stated, "Although the Demon Refining Cauldrons were stolen this time, you have worked tirelessly, and your efforts are significant. This palace has always been fair and just; you won't be rewarded or punished arbitrarily simply because you are my disciple. Go rest, and I shall petition the Great Heavenly Venerate for your merits."

Yang Bi replied, "Master, who stole the Demon Refining Cauldrons?"

Doumu Primordial Monarch sighed, looking somewhat troubled, massaging the left side of his forehead, "I do not know either. During those few days, I happened to be away from the mansion, and the abominable thief took advantage of this, exploiting the opportunity to steal the DEMON REFINING CAULDRONS. Moreover, the Great Heavenly Venerate has heard about the banditry near Penglai West, killing many Heavenly Court envoys, and thus ordered King Li to quell the bandits with his army."

Yang Bi tensed upon hearing this, and took his leave from Doumu, hurrying back to his residence and thinking, "King Li leading troops to quell bandits? This must be the Great Heavenly Venerate knowing that the True King is up to tricks, so he ordered King Li to slay experts from Golden Turtle Island, forcing the True King to act! This matter must be reported to the True King immediately!"

He had just entered his residence, without even having the chance to sip tea, when a servant reported: "Master, there is someone outside claiming to be Chen Shi, an old friend of yours, here to visit."

Yang Bi heaved a sigh of relief, "Please, show him in!"

Shortly after, Chen Shi's Tribulation Body entered with a smile, "On orders from my master, I invite Daoist Yang to visit Golden Turtle Island."

Behind him, the emptiness spun, revealing the Well Demon Realm, "Daoist Yang, please."

Yang Bi soared up, entering the well.

Meanwhile, the Tribulation Body sat quietly in Yang Bi's manor, patiently waiting.

Yang Bi entered the Well Demon Realm, arriving before the immense Demon Blood Treasure Tree. Looking up, he saw the tree's branches, commanded by it, slowly dancing in the air, containing the Power of the Great Dao, illuminating with rosy clouds, incredibly astounding.

Those branches appeared slender from afar, but up close, they were enormous, like the bodies of colossal dragons moving slowly through the air.

"Just how powerful is this treasure?"

Yang Bi was shocked. He had seen Daluo Treasure Items, whose power was overwhelmingly unmatched. Once unleashed, they could suppress an entire world's Great Dao like a calm lake, without the slightest ripple.

But this Demon Blood Treasure Tree felt to him even more formidable than those Daluo Treasure items he had encountered!

Moreover, the Demon Blood Treasure Tree gave him the sensation of destiny being focused, as if no Daoist Skill in the world could harm its essence!

"True King is still but a Golden Immortal; how has he refined this treasure to such a terrifying degree?"

Just as he pondered this, the sky before him spun, and Golden Turtle Island appeared in his vision. Chen Shi stood smiling in front of an azure palace.

Without waiting to land, Yang Bi quickly said, "King Li is leading troops to suppress rebellion in the area outside of Penglai West!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Shi's expression changed slightly, and he turned to the Little Dun Fairy beside him, "Please, madam, make a trip. Do not harm King Li."

Little Dun Fairy acknowledged, flashing away in flight.
