Above the Great Dao
Chapter 1635 - 751: Eradicating the Roots (Part 2)
Qingxu lightly pinched with two fingers, pulling a dragon scale from one Golden Flood Dragon, and then inserted it beneath Immortal Lord Xin's neck into his muscle.
The Dragon Blood was warm, and the Dragon Scale immediately fused with Immortal Lord Xin's physical body.
Qingxu swiftly plucked a few strands of hair from Immortal Lord Xin and planted them in the spot where the Golden Flood Dragon's scales had fallen. These strands of hair also immediately connected with the Golden Flood Dragon's flesh and blood, taking root.
Qingxu inscribed talismans and drew incantations in mid-air, creating two talismans, guiding them with a slight mind movement, the talismans respectively floated into Immortal Lord Xin and the Golden Flood Dragon's bodies.
He breathed a sigh of relief, and without delay, followed the same method, plucked the reversed scale of another Jiao Long, planting it beneath the skin on Mei True Master's neck, then pulled out a few strands of Mei True Master's hair, just about to plant them onto the Golden Flood Dragon's body when suddenly Immortal Lord Xin cried out: "So uncomfortable!"
Beside Immortal Lord Xin, the Golden Flood Dragon suddenly erupted with blood mist from its body, its Primordial Spirit disintegrated, appearing as shattered pieces suspended in the air!
The Golden Flood Dragon's Daoist Practice was utterly destroyed, its soul annihilated, died like Immortal Zhong!
Immortal Lord Xin was drenched in cold sweat, as if scooped from water, feeling a lack of strength throughout his body, called out: "I feel as though I've died once!"
Qingxu Daoist Venerable paid no heed, after planting the hair, immediately inscribed talismans and drew incantations in the air, each directed into Mei True Master's body.
He had just finished these actions, without a breath of relief, when suddenly from within the Purple Sun Immortal Palace came a loud cry, Qingxu's face changed dramatically, his body rushed out: "Something's wrong, Pan Monk is still in the palace!"
When he arrived at the Immortal Palace, he saw that Pan Monk was already dead, his Primordial Spirit exploded, devoid of blood in the physical body, flesh and bones twisted in a horrific death.
Qingxu Daoist Venerable's face was ashen, and outside came Mei True Master's cry of alarm, he exited the Immortal Palace, Mei True Master was already collapsed on the ground, and the Golden Flood Dragon was indeed dead!
"I used the life-transferring method, transferring your fate onto the two Golden Flood Dragons, letting them die for you to deceive Mr. Chen's Curse Dao."
Qingxu Daoist Venerable said, "This act can guarantee your life for a short period, as by continuing to apply the curse on you, it would only land on nothing. Because the Golden Flood Dragons are already dead, the curse cannot be applied to you, but this is only temporary, when my talisman power dissipates, you will still be perceived by Mr. Chen."
"Curse Dao?"
Immortal Lord Xin and Mei True Master were both shaken, having heard of the Curse Dao, said to be mastered by the Great Shang Divine Officer, that shone brilliantly in the late Battle of Fashang, having cursed many Immortal Gods to death.
However, the Curse Dao had since disappeared, rarely heard of, unexpectedly someone mastered this Outer Dao, killing Immortal Zhong and Pan Monk!
Where did Chen Shi learn the Curse Dao, and how can he harm others with it?
"Back in the day I also understood a bit of the Curse Dao, but merely examined it briefly before departing from the Ancestral Court, unable to delve further."
Qingxu Daoist Venerable said, "To avoid being invaded by the Curse Dao, there are three methods. First is to kill the curse caster, eliminating the caster naturally resolves the peril. Second is to break through to become a Daluo Golden Immortal, becoming invincible to all evils and the Curse Dao cannot reach, thus having no disaster. Third is to go to the Western Heaven, seek the Wubo Zen Master, who is also a master of the Curse Dao, capable of killing invisibly with the Nail Head Seven Arrows Book."
The two exchanged glances, bowed in unison, speaking in one voice: "Please, Master (Uncle-Master), save us!"
Qingxu Daoist Venerable stretched out his hands, helping them up with one each, said: "Killing Mr. Chen is the easiest, but now that he is at Gouchen's side, killing him becomes the most difficult. Assisting you to break through to become a Daluo Golden Immortal is also extremely challenging. The only path now is to send you to the Western Heaven, to meet Wubo Zen Master. There is no time to delay, we must depart immediately, I will escort you there."
He said this, and penned a letter, summoning Baiyun Child, saying: "You must immediately go to the Upper Pure Realm, meet the Upper Pure Sect Leader, and give him this letter, telling him that his good disciple Gouchen has now betrayed the Immortal Dao, adhering to the Divine Dao, and even obstructed me from executing Mr. Chen."
Baiyun Child received the order, stepped on a white cloud, and departed.
Qingxu Daoist Venerable wasted no time, immediately took the two towards the Western Heaven.
Meanwhile, in the Wu Yue Star Mansion, Chen Shi performed rituals killing Zhong Wanfang, and then Pan Monk, only to feel that something was different when killing Immortal Lord Xin and Mei True Master, furrowing his brows, flipped through the Heavenly Mechanism Strategy, calculating closely, and exclaimed in surprise: "Someone used the Transplantation method, finding two Golden Flood Dragons to die in their place. Now I cannot calculate their fate, unable to curse them to death. I must wait for this person's method to lose its power."
He stowed the altar, thanked Emperor Gouchen: "If not for Your Majesty's timely intervention earlier, I would have already perished. Your Majesty's life-saving grace, I shall never forget."
Emperor Gouchen remained with a furrowed brow, silent.
Chen Shi was also cautious of him speaking, always fearing he might leave a trap in his words, quickly went to clean up the aftermath.
He killed Pan Monk and Zhong Wanfang just as Pingtian Tower completely fell.
His nine dirt bodies had already led the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation soldiers to flatten the Jade Platform Heaven Tribulation Array presided by Zhu Tiannan, killing over ten thousand immortals, capturing Zhu Tiannan.
As Chen Shi looked over, the nine dirt bodies were causing chaos in the Wu Yue Star Mansion, killing and setting fire. Wu Yue Star Lord and his sons, some dead, some captured, along with many disciples from the Three Pure Ones and Western Heaven who followed Immortal Lord Xin to this place, were also not spared, with many dead or injured, while most of the others were captured.
Some people fled the Immortal City, only to be pursued mercilessly by Chen Shi's dirt bodies, capturing them was only a matter of time.
Chen Shi's physical body was searching the harem in the Star Mansion. Chen Shi sensed it when the physical body had already broken into the harem, found Xi Zi, and was about to take her by force in public.
Chen Shi was startled, hurriedly calming the physical body's reckless mind, and ordered for Xi Zi to be brought over.
"I'm not an oblivious person... Lady, raise your head."
Seeing Xi Zi's face, Chen Shi felt as if Heavenly Thunder struck ground fire, his mouth suddenly dry, his mind restless; the various desires of the physical body resurrected in his heart.
"I might not be immune to confuse..."
Just as he thought this, Emperor Gouchen arrived, Chen Shi quickly severed the desires in his Dao Heart, gifting them to the physical body; the physical body's cultivation soared, almost uncontrollable.
"Cultivate calmly, don't always be so impatient like a monkey!" Chen Shi scolded the physical body.
It's unsure whether the physical body listened.
Emperor Gouchen remained utterly confused, about to speak. Chen Shi quickly instructed Wu Guanyun, saying: "Lead some soldiers, escort these Three Pure Ones Realm and Western Heaven rebels to the Heavenly Court for trial. In the future, you will be credited with a merit."
Wu Guanyun agreed, leading the Heavenly Soldier Camp, escorting war prisoners to the nearest ferry, preparing to head to the Heavenly Court.
Chen Shi also ordered his Killing Body and Tribulation Body to follow, lest Wu Guanyun betrays.
The rest of the soldiers took a brief rest. Chen Shi sent them to Dao Ruins, and his Taoist Body would open the Dao Ruins Dao Realm on Golden Turtle Island, allowing them to return to Penglai West, put down their arms, and continue cultivating.
From this experience, these disciples from Golden Turtle Island suffered minimal casualties; their Daoist Divine Skills were no inferior to those disciples from Three Pure Ones Realm and Western Heaven, making Chen Shi quite pleased.
Given time, the 200,000 immortals of Penglai West will be the foundation of his rise!
"Your Majesty, Great Heavenly Venerate sent me here to quell the rebellion. Now that the turmoil is resolved, I should return to Penglai West."
Chen Shi said with a smile, "Knowing Your Majesty is the fortune of my life. However, in this world, no feast lasts forever..."
"My master will come looking for me and take this opportunity to kill you."
Emperor Gouchen suddenly said, "His Senior is the Upper Pure Realm Master, his cultivation is unfathomable. You stand no chance at victory. Returning to Golden Turtle Island will lead to its destruction. Stay by my side, and you might have a slim chance of survival."
Chen Shi was taken aback, hesitated for a moment, and asked: "How does Your Majesty's master compare to Your Majesty in strength?"
Emperor Gouchen said, "My Immortal Dao has reached Daluo, Dao Realm Second Layer Heaven, Divine Dao has become a Daoist God, surpassing even Immortal Dao. My master is far superior, already reached the sixth realm of Daluo."
Upon hearing this, Chen Shi was shocked: "Where then lies the chance of survival?"
Emperor Gouchen said, "The Great Heavenly Venerate is watching here, observing if I betray. This is the only chance."
Chen Shi's heart thumped violently twice, suddenly recalling something, his face subtly changed.
Emperor Gouchen didn't know his thoughts, and searched for a clean place within the Wu Yue Star Mansion, boiled water, brewed tea, quietly waiting for the Upper Pure Realm Master's arrival.
Chen Shi saw that he wasn't paying attention to him, so he once again set up an altar and performed rituals on the altar.
Zhu Tiannan, who was being escorted, suddenly let out a scream, spat blood, and died an unnatural death on the way to the ferry.
Wu Guanyun hurriedly checked, found that this great expert's Primordial Spirit was shattered, not knowing why he died so miserably.
On the altar, Chen Shi let out a breath: "With Zhu Tiannan dead, none of the prisoners know of my Heavenly Dao Treasure. Hopefully, the Great Heavenly Venerate is still unaware of my treasures..."
