In Biyou Palace, Chen Shi sensed that the Outer Dao he had left in the Yuqing Dao Spring had found a host, and he couldn't help but smile.

"The Great Heavenly Venerate has placed countless spies by my side, but today, I've placed a spy with the Great Heavenly Venerate as well, and it's a spy of the Daluo Golden Immortal level. I've finally gained an advantage."

He appeared relaxed and said to Little Dun and Yang Bi, "Yet it's just one advantage. To match the Great Heavenly Venerate equally is exceedingly difficult. Since that's the case, why shouldn't I be a loyal minister?"

Even if King Li breaks through to Daluo Golden Immortal, Chen Shi doesn't worry about King Li breaking the Outer Dao he left.

In this world, there are only two people who could rival his Outer Dao. One is Chen Yindou, the other is Creation Little Five.

Chen Yindou and Creation Little Five naturally couldn't break the Outer Dao Chen Shi left within King Li. As for Mr. Huaiyi, his expertise in Outer Dao doesn't compare to Chen Shi's breadth, let alone that he has no relation to King Li and wouldn't help him.

Therefore, Chen Shi is not worried about King Li betraying him at all.

He and Yang Bi continued to study the Sutra of Eternal Freedom, attempting to find flaws in this cultivation technique. However, Mr. Huaiyi's prowess in Outer Dao may not be as broad, but his cultivation realm far surpasses theirs. After much contemplation, Chen Shi and Yang Bi could only find one seeming flaw.

That is, if one's understanding of the Sutra of Eternal Freedom surpasses Mr. Huaiyi, one can transfer the tribulation to Mr. Huaiyi!

Chen Shi and Yang Bi discussed at length, feeling this cultivation technique was perfect to the extreme, leaving only this seeming impossibility as a flaw.

After all, who can surpass Mr. Huaiyi's understanding in the cultivation techniques he founded?

This nearly seems impossible!

"This technique has countless variations and has dispersed across all the heavens and the Earth Immortal Realm, with cultivators and immortals practicing it beyond count."

Chen Shi spoke of what Huangfu Jun had observed, "Some cultivation techniques have mutated to the point where they seem completely unrelated to the Sutra of Eternal Freedom. Huangfu Jun told me he perceives a technique in the Western Heaven called the Creation Tathagata Scripture; those who practice this have become a Creation Tathagata Buddha, holding a high status in Western Heaven, an old Buddha. The Creation Tathagata Scripture, deep in Buddhist law, exceptionally mysterious, seems entirely unrelated to the Sutra of Eternal Freedom, but in reality, it's also a variation of the Sutra of Eternal Freedom."

Yang Bi frowned and asked, "You can't see it at all?"

Chen Shi shook his head and replied, "Can't see it. Huangfu Jun says many Immortal Laws are also variations of the Sutra of Eternal Freedom, but their cultivation technique structure can't be seen either. He suspects that when his master Mr. Huaiyi harvested that batch of disciples, many slipped through the net, or perhaps someone found this cultivation technique and repurposed it as a tool to harvest others, disguising it and teaching it to others, preparing to transfer tribulation to pass the Opening Tribulation."

Yang Bi frowned even more tightly.

"And so, you change it once, I change it once, only preserving the core of the Sutra of Eternal Freedom, leading this cultivation technique to be altered beyond recognition, increasingly losing its original face."

Chen Shi said, "Yet even a harvested version of the Sutra of Eternal Freedom is still a top-tier technique that can certify Daluo. Buddha, Dao, Immortal, demon, all kinds of magic skills can be easily mastered. Modified repeatedly now, instead, a number of extremely powerful techniques have emerged, among which some have achieved great success. For example, the Creation Tathagata is one of them."

Yang Bi's eyes flashed as he spoke, "Who passed along the Creation Tathagata Scripture to the Creation Tathagata?"

Chen Shi surmised, "This person should not be Mr. Huaiyi, but someone who altered the Sutra of Eternal Freedom into the Creation Tathagata Scripture and passed it to disciples. His disciple achieved great success and was titled Creation Tathagata."

Yang Bi said, "So, this person can transfer their tribulation to the Creation Tathagata at any time, assisting themselves in passing the Opening Tribulation."

Chen Shi exhaled a murky breath, gazing westward, and spoke softly, "When Western Heaven confronts the Opening Tribulation, this person definitely won't move against the Creation Tathagata. But if Western Heaven can't withstand the Opening Tribulation, the Creation Tathagata will be harvested by him. Who could this person be?" 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

He yearned to immediately fly to the Western Heavenly Bliss World to explore this case.

Yang Bi said, "However, if he wants to harvest the Creation Tathagata, he must also cultivate the Sutra of Eternal Freedom. That means he's also someone else's target."

Chen Shi agreed and laughed, "If someone understands the Sutra of Eternal Freedom even more profoundly than this person, then indeed they can harvest him. For example, Huangfu Jun should have this ability."

Yang Bi said, "Shrimp eat mud, small fish eat shrimp, big fish eat small fish. No matter how many times it's altered, their understanding of the Sutra of Eternal Freedom will not surpass Mr. Huaiyi. Therefore, Mr. Huaiyi can harvest everyone."

They judged Mr. Huaiyi's technique had a single flaw based on this.

Surpassing Mr. Huaiyi in understanding the Sutra of Eternal Freedom means one could harvest even him!

But can one truly surpass Mr. Huaiyi?

Chen Shi and Yang Bi have no assurance whatsoever.

Yang Bi returned to the Dou Department, and before leaving, he said to Chen Shi, "Mr. Huaiyi hasn't harvested these fish and shrimp he raised all these years; he's likely turned over a new leaf. It's best not to be enemies with such a presence."

Chen Shi wholeheartedly agreed, laughing, "His technique is too sinister, and I don't want to be his enemy either. This person now resides under Three Pure Ones' protection; as long as Three Pure Ones continues to shield him, they still have the power to threaten his life, and he won't harvest others."

Shortly after Yang Bi left, Qiao Gu and others escorted the Heavenly Court Envoy to Golden Turtle Island.
