Above the Great Dao-Chapter 1411 - 658: A Promise Worth Its Weight in Gold (Part 2)

Chen Shi quickly thanked his godmother.

"I've told you, don't call me godmother in front of outsiders!" Lady Houtu reprimanded with anger, and with that, she dissipated.

The other Great Emperor Venerables saw this and each transformed and left as well.

Emperor Ziwei, walking last, smiled and said, "Little Daoist Chen, if you have time in the future, feel free to visit the Beidou Ziwi Heavenly Palace."

Chen Shi cheerfully replied, "I dare not presume, Your Majesty, but I will definitely come to disturb you."

Emperor Ziwei also transformed into starlight and scattered away.

Soon, the twenty-eight giants of the Heavenly Court disappeared without a trace, leaving only Heavenly King Li, Chen Shi, Niu Jingjing, and others.

Heavenly King Li's gaze fell upon Chen Shi, feeling a headache, he thought, "This person is like an ancestor; I can't hit him, scold him, or even think of killing him. Yet, he carries the Heavenly Mechanism Strategy imprint—what should I do about this?"

His eyes flickered: "His Majesty wants me to take good care of them, meaning I'm to act as I see fit. If I can transform them into Heavenly Dao Divine People, then act; if not, seek opportunities. But before leaving, Doumu Primordial Monarch and Universal Transformation Celestial Venerable also threatened me, asking me to weigh my options. This makes things difficult..."

There are some things that must be done when orders come from above.

Even if one must carry a load they cannot bear, it must be done!

Even as a divine, one cannot always act of their own will. Heavenly King Li felt secretly sorrowful.

Chen Shi interrupted his reverie, asking, "Heavenly King, how will you transport such a massive Earth Treasure Spirit Root? If this thing is sent to the Heavenly Court, it might attract attention and soon cause a sensation in the Earth Immortal Realm, known by all."

Heavenly King Li looked at the Divine Tree and said, "I have an Exquisite Golden Treasure Tower, which contains several heavens, and can store this treasure."

Chen Shi reminded, "After all, this treasure is a Magical Treasure of the Ancient Lamp Buddha. If you store the Divine Tree in the tower, the Buddha will surely know. If someone takes it, the charge of colluding with the enemy will be pinned on you, and you'll have to take a trip to the God Execution Platform."

Heavenly King Li hesitated, knowing that while the Ancient Lamp Buddha had deep ties with him, faced with such temptation, the Buddha might not resist.

Moreover, even if the Buddha doesn't act, he could inform others and have them take action.

But apart from the Exquisite Golden Treasure Tower, he had no other Magical Treasures that could accommodate such enormous treasure.

His gaze fell on Chu Xiangxiu, and he said, "Governor Chu, can you transform the Mud Great World into your Dao Realm and summon it in the Heavenly Court? Then you could take out this treasure without worry."

Chu Xiangxiu shook his head: "My Dao Realm occupies only one-thousandth of the Mud Great World, far from enough to extract the Mud Divine Tree. Furthermore, the Mud Great World is in the Dark Sea, and it's difficult to sense it."

This time, returning to the Mud Great World, he became a True Immortal, with greatly increased cultivation, his Dao Realm multiplied. However, this is a Great World, and his True Immortal Dao Realm cannot encompass the entire Mud Great World.

He also tried, but in the Earth Immortal Realm, he could barely sense the Mud Great World.

Heavenly King Li frowned and said, "The crown of the Mud Divine Tree is not large; it's the roots that are vast. Its roots cover the entire Mud Great World, truly enormous. But the roots are flexible and can be gathered up, so they aren't too big. However, if the Mud Great World can't be sensed in the Heavenly Court, then it becomes troublesome..." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Under his command are a hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals. Among them are True Immortals and Golden Immortals, fully capable of gathering the roots of the Mud Divine Tree and placing them in the Dao Realms of True Immortals and Golden Immortals.

Yet, these Golden Immortal and True Immortal Dao Realms are among the Myriad Worlds atop the Xuanhuang Sea. For such a massive object like the Mud Divine Tree to descend, it would surely cause a tremendous stir, alerting the Daluo Golden Immortals.

Thus, the theft of the Mud Divine Tree seems inevitable.

"This won't work, that won't work, how can I safely send the Mud Divine Tree to the Heavenly Court?"

Suddenly, Heavenly King Li had an idea, his eyes brightened, and he looked at Chen Shi with a kind expression: "Daoist Chen, you achieved Harmonization in the Dao Ruins, did you not?"

Chen Shi nodded.

Heavenly King Li smiled again: "Are you now a True Immortal?"

Chen Shi nodded once more.

Heavenly King Li sincerely said, "I humbly request your assistance in sending the Mud Divine Tree into the Dao Ruins! Mr. Li would be eternally grateful!"

The Dao Ruins are fraught with dangers and sparsely populated, so no one would notice the Mud Divine Tree entering it. Even if someone did, they would just be old monsters dwelling in seclusion there.

Tormented by the Outer Dao, they may not even be interested in the Mud Divine Tree.

Furthermore, Chen Shi could send the Mud Divine Tree to the Dao Ruins, and also send Heavenly King Li there. Once in the Dao Ruins, Heavenly King Li could immediately take the Mud Divine Tree and rush to the Heavenly Court!

The journey from the Dao Ruins to the Heavenly Court is not far, and at his pace, he could reach it in half a day!

Only this path is the fastest route!

Chen Shi hesitated for a moment and said, "I've never summoned a Dao Realm from the Dark Sea before, and I don't know if I can sense the Dao Ruins from here."

Heavenly King Li was slightly taken aback: "You are not going to refuse me or propose other conditions?"

Chen Shi smiled: "I have no grievance with the Heavenly King, and besides, the Heavenly King has been quite considerate of me previously; such a trifling matter is not worth mentioning."

Heavenly King Li was silent for a moment and said, "Thank you. If you can't sense the Dao Ruins, then I'll transport the Mud Divine Tree out of the Dark Sea. Then, I'll trouble Daoist Chen again."

Chen Shi immediately tried to sense the Dao Ruins Dao Realm.

In the Dark Sea, sensing the Dao Ruins Dao Realm was not strong. Chen Shi attempted to summon the Dao Realm over but found the Dao Realm to be incredibly heavy, as if separated by a thick barrier, unable to be summoned.

Even after taking a Fuluo Village Spirit Pill, he couldn't summon it!

He tried repeatedly but still couldn't succeed, as if some Great Dao resistance was preventing him from summoning the Dao Ruins to this place.
