Upon leaving the altar, he exhaled deeply, as if setting down a heavy stone.

"The Great Heavenly Venerate is truly unfathomable."

He finally spoke to Little Dun, Yang Bi, and King Li, "Using my hand to force Taibai Star Lord to display the Immortal Dao, to find the traitor of the Heavenly Court, and then using my hand to kill Taibai Star Lord. No wonder Immortal Master Erlang would say the Great Heavenly Venerate has deep aspirations. I fear this Golden Turtle Island has been infiltrated by him like a sieve, with no secrets left."

King Li coughed repeatedly, wishing he could leave here immediately, pretending he never heard Chen Shi's words.

"He also knows I can refine the Outer Dao to restore the Holy Land tainted by the Outer Dao."

Chen Shi frowned, "I fear my Demon Blood Treasure Tree has fallen into his sight. The only thing he doesn't know is the West Bull New Continent."

King Li felt his heart turn cold upon hearing this.

To even say such things in front of him, is Mr. Chen harboring a murderous intention towards him?!

Yang Bi said, "The Great Heavenly Venerate is deep-minded, but still accommodates others, after all he saw True King harboring betrayal yet did not remove True King and Princess."

King Li's face turned pale, shouldn't these words be kept from him?

Is he being treated as one of their own, or as a dead man?

Yang Bi noticed him and took him as an example, "King Li, bringing treachery within, colluded with Western Heaven, and is also a disciple of the Ancient Lamp Buddha, plus having a poor character, even forced his own son to cut flesh to repay him, yet the Great Heavenly Venerate accommodates him."

King Li was burning with anger, but upon thinking, Yang Bi's words seemed reasonable, thus he snorted quietly, without rebutting.

Chen Shi sighed, "The Great Heavenly Venerate indeed has the magnanimity to accommodate others. Mine is not as great as his."

Yang Bi analyzed, "The reason the Great Heavenly Venerate couldn't accommodate Taibai Star Lord is perhaps related to the death of Beidi and the Emperor of Longevity of the Nanji, maybe Emperor Houtu encountering ambush is also related. Perhaps Taibai Star Lord leaked some secrets of the Heavenly Court, leading to the demise of Beidi and Emperor Changsheng."

Chen Shi said, "If I hadn't imparted the Primordial Talisman to my foster mother in advance, she might not have survived."

Yang Bi said, "Perhaps this is why the Great Heavenly Venerate could accommodate True King, but not Taibai Star Lord. Even if killing Taibai Star Lord would offend White Emperor, he still wielded a deadly hand, moreover, this time True King wielded the axe to kill Taibai Star Lord, should White Emperor bear the grudge, it would be against True King, having nothing to do with him."

Chen Shi frowned.

Although White Emperor knows Chen Shi can't kill Taibai Star Lord, he would still bear a grudge against Chen Shi, rather than the Great Heavenly Venerate.

The Great Heavenly Venerate's methods are too clever. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Yang Bi said, "And this time the Great Heavenly Venerate kills chickens to warn monkeys; Taibai Star Lord is the chicken, True King is the monkey. If next time True King is to act and he doesn't, then next time True King is the chicken."

Chen Shi clenched his fist.

Yang Bi said, "If I am not mistaken, the Great Heavenly Venerate's next envoy group has already departed many days ago, and should be arriving at Penglai West soon. This time, if the Great Heavenly Venerate's envoys get ambushed along the way, the Great Heavenly Venerate's axe would chop True King's head."

Chen Shi felt fear, immediately summoning Qiao Gu and others, "Dear senior brothers and sisters, please proceed to Elder and Jian Er Province immediately, prepare to welcome the Heavenly Court envoys, protect them along the way, don't err."

Everyone looked at each other, wondering if they misheard.

Jing Mei said, "True King's intention is for us to pretend to escort, but actually..."

She raised her hand in a slicing gesture.

Chen Shi said angrily, "I am the backbone minister of the Great Heavenly Venerate, how could I possibly do such a rebellious act! Properly guard the envoys, if they lose a single hair, you'll be questioned!"

Qiao Gu and others left filled with doubt.

Chen Shi paced as his restless heart slowly calmed, slowing his steps, looking towards Yang Bi, he smiled, "Brother Yang, when will you assist me?"

Yang Bi shook his head and said, "With twenty thousand soldiers, True King's talent is enough to command them, if there are more, True King would be overwhelmed. Whereas my master Doumu Primordial Monarch manages the Dou Department, with countless gods and heavenly soldiers, numbering in the millions, requiring my coordination more."

Chen Shi didn't insist, for him leading twenty thousand soldiers was indeed the limit.

For Yang Bi, the more the better; the more soldiers, the easier to dispatch.

"Then how will True King deal with King Li?"

Yang Bi glanced at King Li beside him, and said, "In my opinion, True King should plant Outer Dao in King Li, send him back to Heavenly Court, and at the same time, inform the Immortal Court and King Li's enemies about his route. With Outer Dao disturbances, King Li will surely die."

King Li's face turned pale, his body swayed.

Chen Shi shook his head, saying, "Daoist Li had shown me recognition..."

He hesitated at this point.

King Li hadn't treated him as a benefactor.

Instead, shortly after entering the Heavenly Soldier Camp, he was beaten by King Li, repeatedly sent to dangerous missions, but survived every time, thanks to his luck.

King Li had even repeatedly framed him, wanting him to become Heavenly Dao Divine People.

This time, King Li came as Heavenly Court envoy with ill intentions.

Upon thinking, Chen Shi threw out thoughts of recognition, calmly saying, "Daoist Li, you intended to harm me in an unrighteous way, but I ha…"

You intended to harm me in an unrighteous way, but I have still saved you once. Teacher says, how can I repay virtue with resentment? This time, I will go against Teacher's teaching, and still let you go. Not only letting Dao Brother go, I will also help you to become Daluo Golden Immortal."

He softly raised his hand, summoning water from the Yuqing Dao Spring, filling a golden gourd, saying, "Yuqing Dao Spring Water can bring Enlightenment. Whatever Great Dao you practice, drinking the Dao Spring Water will give you enlightenment for that Great Dao. The water can replenish your Non-empty Tathagata's Treasury, allowing you to take another step forward, breaking through the confines of Taiyi Golden Immortal to become Daluo."

He placed the golden gourd in King Li's hand, King Li hesitated, saying, "Heavenly King Chen won't kill me?"

Chen Shi smiled, "If I were to kill you, I could not explain to the Jade Emperor and the Great Heavenly Venerate. Although I have the intent to kill, I must endure."

King Li held the golden gourd, probing, "Does this gourd contain Outer Dao hidden within the Yuqing Dao Spring?"

Chen Shi laughed heartily, "Yes."

King Li's face changed.

He had been deceived once, consuming Yuqing Dao Spring given by Taibai Star Lord, nearly dying.

Chen Shi laughed, "Everyone knows Penglai West possesses Yuqing Dao Spring, my Golden Turtle Island is weak, hard to protect the Dao Spring, so I secretly added Outer Dao in the spring. If someone steals it and uses it, they will be contaminated by Outer Dao. After suffering, naturally, no one would dare steal my Dao Spring. But Daoist Li, your gourd's Dao Spring is different."

He spoke truthfully, without hiding anything, "The Outer Dao in your Dao Spring won't act up. When Daoist Li refines the spring water, Outer Dao will also infiltrate your Daoist Skill, hiding within it. Even if you become Daluo, you cannot refine it. But if you should be my enemy, it will explode, causing your death. Daoist, whether to use this Dao Spring lies entirely with you. I won't see you off."

King Li left Golden Turtle Island, muddled, flying towards Elder Province.

Only when he flew out of Penglai West did he come to his senses, looking at the golden gourd in his hand, as if seeing a terrifying demon.

King Li clenched his teeth fiercely, raising his hand to throw the gourd away.

"Chen Shi, you underestimate me! I am a dignified king, the General of the World, experienced in the Fashang war, re-established Heavenly Court, opened Dark Sea, what haven't I encountered?"

King Li laughed heartily, clearing the haze in his Dao Heart, saying loudly, "My Dao Heart is stable, not tempted by Yuqing Dao Spring!"

At this moment, he looked down, only to see another golden gourd in his right hand.

King Li was slightly stunned, sneered, "You playing tricks on me?"

He raised his hand to throw the golden gourd again, but upon looking down, the gourd was still in his hand.

King Li threw it several times, but each time he looked down, the gourd remained in his hand.

"Chen Shi, you are a Great Demon, a heart bewildering Great Demon, you can't tempt me to fall!"

King Li watched his hand, wanting to see himself throw the gourd, see how it returned to his hand.

His face changed drastically, cold sweat emerging on his forehead.

Although he felt he had thrown the gourd, he saw his hand still gripping it firmly. The gourd never left his hand.

"Did you cast some spell on me... No, he gave me no mysterious Daoist Skill, it's me, haha, my own reluctance to throw it away, my obsession from being unable to break through for three hundred thousand years, making me not want to miss this chance, it's me who has birthed a Heart Demon..."

King Li laughed wildly, unrestrained, as if recognizing himself for the first time, amidst laughter, raising his head, he drank the Dao Spring from the gourd.
