Above the Great Dao-Chapter 1413 - 659: Eternal Freedom

King Li took the Mud犁 Divine Tree. The roots of this Divine Tree were truly magnificent. Even with a hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals binding it, the length of its roots was astonishing, far beyond what a tower ship could accommodate.

King Li was not an immortal but a divine being. Besides the Exquisite Golden Treasure Tower in his hand, he had no other immortal artifact that could contain the Mud犁 Divine Tree.

Fortunately, his Primordial Spirit was strong enough. It manifested, towering tens of thousands of feet high, lifting this tree, while divine beings surrounded him, ready to deal with the demons in the Dark Sea.

His divine cultivation was extremely strong, and his Primordial Spirit had no problem carrying this tree.

Chen Shi stood at the stern, gazing up at the Mud犁 Divine Tree, and couldn't help but be awed by its enormity. He praised, "The Dark Sea truly is full of wonders. Who could have imagined that the multitude of beings in the entire Mud Great World was controlled by this object, under the influence of a powerful demon path practitioner?"

At this moment, a thought stirred in his mind, suddenly recalling the culprit responsible for the 16,000-year disaster in the West Bull New Continent: the Primordial Worm.

The Lord of the Immortal Court had ordered Xun Jiangmu to herd the Primordial Worms in the Dark Sea, devouring worlds one by one. Could the Primordial Worms also be Earth Treasure Spirit Roots of the Daluo Golden Immortal level?

The Lord of the Immortal Court needed the Primordial Worms to pass the Opening Tribulation. Does this mean that he was also a Daluo Golden Immortal?

"Can Earth Treasure Spirit Roots truly help a Daluo Golden Immortal to pass the Opening Tribulation?" he muttered, looking at the Mud犁 Divine Tree.

"It should be possible."

King Li's voice came, and Chen Shi turned to see King Li's true body boarding the tower ship to travel with them.

He still held the Exquisite Golden Treasure Tower in his hand, daring not to relax for a moment.

Chen Shi had seen many powerful beings following the divine path, but none who permanently carried a magical treasure in hand, except for King Li.

"It seems King Li is very fearful of his son, likely due to countless misdeeds. But then again, King Li's son must be extremely formidable, or he wouldn't make King Li so apprehensive," Chen Shi thought to himself.

Unaware of his thoughts, King Li said, "The Opening Tribulation for a Daluo Golden Immortal is terrifying, almost certainly leading to death. The Three Pure Ones migrated to the Heavenly Court 360,000 years ago. Many remarkable individuals emerged during this period, including those who became Daluo Golden Immortals. But fewer than fifty have survived to this day. The rest perished in the Opening Tribulation."

He paused and continued, "Some have used secret techniques and combined with the Outer Dao to avoid the Opening Tribulation, but they were corrupted and turned into something neither human nor ghost. It seems, Daoist Chen, you have encountered such Daluo Golden Immortals."

Chen Shi did not deny it.

The Dao Realm was gifted to Chen Shi by King Li, and naturally, King Li knew there was a hidden Daluo Golden Immortal within it.

"Would the Heavenly Dao Divine People please board the ship and join hands to conceal the Heavenly Mechanism!" King Li said solemnly.

Thirty-two Heavenly Dao Divine People successively boarded the tower ship. Niu Jingjing saw Chen Shi, hesitated to speak, and tears fell silently.

Many divine generals also boarded the ship, continuing to offer incense to Niu Jingjing and others, while a secretary-like divine officer taught them how to mobilize the Heavenly Dao Seal.

"With these Heavenly Dao Divine People concealing the Heavenly Mechanism, even Daluo Golden Immortals can't determine the emergence of this Earth Treasure Spirit Root."

King Li said, "The Immortal Dao and the Divine Dao both originate from the same source, but they diverged over time, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. After an immortal becomes a True Immortal and comprehends the Dao Realm, they will naturally understand various extraordinary Great Dao phenomena. Among them, several powerful Great Dao phenomena function similarly to the Heavenly Mechanism Strategy, allowing one to calculate past events and future possibilities with ease. This is the Divine Strategy."

Chen Shi's heart stirred. He became a True Immortal, and within the First Layers of Heaven of the Dao Realm, there was the Great Dao Phenomenon of the Heavenly Mechanism Strategy.

Is this not to say that he, too, can understand Divine Strategy?

King Li said, "A Daluo True Immortal has an even deeper understanding of this Divine Strategy, especially when it involves verifying their own karma. For instance, if a certain treasure benefits them, they can calculate it, and if someone is detrimental to them, they can also calculate it. Such ability is something divine beings can only envy."

He shook his head and sighed repeatedly.

Although both the Immortal Dao and the Divine Dao emerged from the Witch Sacrificial Dao Pattern, the development of the Immortal Dao has long surpassed the constraints of the Witch Sacrificial Dao Pattern, while the Divine Dao remains stagnant with little progress. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

The tower ship trembled slightly and slowly sailed into the Dark Sea. King Li's Primordial Spirit carried the Mud犁 Treasure Tree, following behind the ship.

"As soon as the Mud犁 Divine Tree leaves the Dark Sea, it will immediately trigger the karmic response of Daluo Golden Immortals. If they calculate carefully, they will discover the significance of the Mud犁 Divine Tree for them."

King Li said, "But the Heavenly Dao Divine People can obscure the Heavenly Mechanism, ensuring their calculations are inaccurate, even if they have some sense. If we safely return to the Heavenly Court, it will increase our odds of success. This is the first time in the history of the Earth Immortal Realm that a Daluo Golden Immortal-level Earth Treasure Spirit Root has been discovered, so we must act cautiously."

Chen Shi inquired, "If this is the first discovery of a Daluo Golden Immortal-level Earth Treasure Spirit Root, how did the previous Daluo Golden Immortals pass the Opening Tribulation?"

"They relied on the residual protection of the Three Pure Ones."

The tower ship gradually accelerated, sailing through the Dark Sea, heading towards the Xuanhuang Sea.

King Li's Primordial Spirit carried the Mud犁 Divine Tree. The divine might it released was indeed overwhelmingly strong, and the divine light it emitted illuminated the sea for miles around as if it were midday, keeping the sea demons at bay.

"When the Three Pure Ones were still in the Earth Immortal Realm, they discovered the terror of the Opening Tribulation, and thus established the rule for crossing it."

King Li said, "Each of the Three Pure Ones left their highest Dao realm, called Yuqing Heaven, Taiqing Heaven, and Upper Pure Heaven. In these three Dao realms, they are unaffected by the Opening Tribulation. Therefore, the Daluo Golden Immortals of the Three Pure Ones Lineage were preserved. Although the foundation of Western Heaven does not compare to the Three Pure Ones, they have created similar things, which can also barely avoid the Opening Tribulation. As for other Daluo Golden Immortals, facing the Opening Tribulation, it results in either death or serious injury."
