Above the Great Dao-Chapter 1415 - 660: Gongsun Xuanyuan

Chang Chun Emperor's voice echoed from afar: "East Master, is that treasure the Earth Treasure Spirit Root?"

His voice trembled slightly, evidently quite excited.

Such a massive Earth Treasure Spirit Root, he had never seen before.

The reason Chang Chun Emperor suffered Outer Dao wounds was that, back in the day, he judged he could not survive the Opening Tribulation, and thus ventured deep into the Dark Sea searching for an Earth Treasure Spirit Root to aid in Tribulation Crossing. He endured great hardships but failed to find an Earth Treasure Spirit Root that would allow a Daluo Golden Immortal to cross the Opening Tribulation. Seeing the Muddy Divine Tree now, it's understandable how thrilled he was.

"Indeed, it is the Earth Treasure Spirit Root."

Chen Shi said, "This is what the Great Heavenly Venerate desires, there will surely be contention and confrontation between the Immortal Court and Heavenly Court along the way. Emperor, do not get involved. The Jade Emperor, Great Heavenly Venerate will likely seize this opportunity to confront the Immortal Court. This Earth Treasure Spirit Root is probably the bait to lure enemies. The Great Heavenly Venerate must prepare in advance to see who takes the bait." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Upon hearing this, Chang Chun Emperor was filled with apprehension and said, "Thank you for the reminder. Although I cannot live nor die, I have no need for this Daluo Earth Treasure Spirit Root."

In the distance, Niang Po Primordial Monarch also sighed gently, dispelling the thought of taking action.

The allure of a Daluo-level Earth Treasure Spirit Root was undeniably strong for her; though absorbing Outer Dao could prevent the Opening Tribulation, she would have to endure the torment of Outer Dao corruption day and night, living a fate worse than death.

She was a peerless beauty, now confined to bed, merely scraping by.

If she could obtain the Daluo Earth Treasure Spirit Root, she could live carefree and no longer worry about whether she could cross the Opening Tribulation.

Chen Shi said, "Chang Chun Dao Brother, could you send a transmission for me, warning the Daoists in the Dao Ruins not to act against King Li?"

Chang Chun Emperor hesitated for a moment and said, "Since the East Master has spoken, then I will make the effort."

He immediately roused his cultivation and transmitted his voice to every corner of the Dao Ruins, loudly saying: "Daoists in the Dao Ruins, listen to me, Chang Chunzi, King Li is a respected guest of the East Master, and the treasure he holds is bait set by the Great Heavenly Venerate. I hope you treasure your lives and don't fall into the trap."

In the Dao Ruins, there were originally many ancient beings ready to stir, causing some unusual occurrences within the Dao Ruins. With Chang Chun Emperor's transmission, they gradually settled down.

An aged voice came through: "Thank you East Master and Daoist Chang Chun for the reminder. As a Mountain Man, I should visit the East Master personally, but my broken body is too frail to act. If the East Master has time, you are welcome to visit Yangshuo Valley."

Chen Shi laughed and said, "The Great Heavenly Venerate seeks my life, I must leave early. If I survive, I will certainly visit!"

He spoke, but didn't hear a reply from the aged voice for a long while.

Chang Chun Emperor said, "The speaker is Yangshuo Mountain Man, his Yangshuo Valley is extremely far from here. The East Master's mana falls short, unable to transmit that far; I will send a transmission on behalf."

Chen Shi felt somewhat ashamed.

Chang Chun Emperor transmitted on behalf, and sure enough, Yangshuo Mountain Man's voice came through, laughing: "East Master is carefree, undeterred by the Great Heavenly Venerate's threats, which is admirable. If anyone else intends harm to the East Master, the Mountain Man can assist, but I only fear the Great Heavenly Venerate. I must wait until the East Master returns for a visit."

Chen Shi said, "Chang Chun Emperor, bid farewell on my behalf, I must flee first, lest the Jade Emperor, Great Heavenly Venerate dispatches someone here to send me off."

Chang Chun Emperor smiled and said, "East Master, please go ahead."

Chen Shi immediately left the Dao Realm, returned to the fringe of Dark Sea, then flew swiftly along the surface of the Xuanhuang Sea towards the nearest ferry, thinking: "I do not yet know where the worlds of Three Elements and Tai Lai are located and how to reach them. First, head to the ferry."

Here, the Dark Sea ferry was established by the Heavenly Court, with Star Shuttles connecting to the Western White Tiger Constellation.

In the White Tiger Constellation lies the Western Golden Emperor's Heavenly Palace, extremely prosperous, the ferry there must be highly connected, perhaps it can seek Star Shuttles to worlds like the Three Elements, Tai Lai, etc.

"However, once the Jade Emperor, Great Heavenly Venerate sees King Li, he will realize quickly that King Li hasn't killed me. By then, my position becomes precarious, I cannot linger in the Golden Emperor's territory for long..."

In the Dao Ruins, Chang Chun Emperor indeed responded to Yangshuo Mountain Man on behalf of Chen Shi. After a moment of silence, Yangshuo Mountain Man's voice came: "Has the East Master already left? Is Chang Chunzi speaking for the East Master, right? Chang Chunzi, do not think to deceive me! I recognize your tone instantly."

Chang Chun Emperor laughed heartily and replied, "East Master is concerned you are a lonely old man, lest you become lonely, so asked me to chat with you. You lonely old man can't tell good from bad!"

Yangshuo Mountain Man laughed: "I may be lonely, but I'm living free by myself, unlike you, surrounded by two Immortal Children both male."

The two jested, each leaving with a stomach full of ire.

Chang Chun Emperor was incensed, heart aflame, thinking: "I, refined by the East Master, am now balanced within the Outer Dao and Immortal Dao, but Yangshuo Mountain Man has been ravaged by Outer Dao, greatly weakened, surely inferior to me. Perhaps, I should venture to Yangshuo Valley and send the old man on his way!"

He took a long breath and thought: "Calm, stay calm. I, like Yangshuo Mountain Man, have half fallen, neither dying nor living, why stir trouble?"

Meanwhile, King Li was completely unaware that due to a thread of benevolence, he had narrowly escaped death.

"The matter of the Muddy Divine Tree is significant, if the information leaks, it will surely attract Daluo Golden Immortals to scramble. I cannot stand against them."

He bore the Divine Tree, finally flying out of the Dao Ruins territory, stepping into the outskirts.

The outskirts were also extremely perilous, known as a notorious forbidden area in the Earth Immortal Realm.

The Dao Ruins were formed by the accumulation of things unable to be refined by The Three Pure Ones when the Earth Immortal Realm was forged, and the outskirts were the pollution caused by the ruins.
