Above the Great Dao-Chapter 1420 - 662: Buddha Country

Chen Shi could no longer sense the purity and joy that Zhong Wuwang once had from his gaze, only the envy and jealousy from a fellow townsman, which made him feel quite sad.

—Back in the West Bull New Continent, everyone was chatting and laughing, so why has a gap formed now?

"He looks at me as if he’s seeing an old master," Chen Shi thought.

"Has Er Niu been doing well these past few years?" he asked.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Wuwang’s tears fell involuntarily.

A man does not easily shed tears, except when the heart is truly broken. If the heart indeed breaks, tears are willingly shed.

Today, Chen Shi spoke of his sorrows, causing him to have an irresistible urge to confide.

Back then, in the battle against the Heavenly Venerate, he had a clear advantage, both stealing the Flask of Yin and Yang Essence and refining the headless body of the Heavenly Venerate with it, and he ascended to the Earth Immortal Realm before Chen Shi could arrive to kill him.

Every time he recalled his actions in that battle, he could wake up laughing even in his sleep.

Who would have thought that after ascending to the Heavenly Court, his luck would turn sour.

First, in the Jade Balance Gate, he was taken by a Divine Officer to the Yao Guang Pool, bathed briefly, and drank the Immortal Qi Spirit Liquid of the Yao Guang Pool, forcing him to sign a ten-year indenture. Later, he was ordered to attack the Northern Continent, narrowly escaping death by the demons there.

His Heavenly Soldier Camp was completely obliterated, but he narrowly escaped, intending to fake his death and escape Heavenly Court’s control. However, just as he fled the Northern Continent, an old monk singled him out, insisting that anyone possessing the Flask of Yin and Yang Essence was his disciple.

Zhong Wuwang didn’t want to become a monk, so he explained that the Flask of Yin and Yang Essence was completed by someone else and he merely stole it from them, but when the old monk probed with some Yin Yang Daoist Skill, Zhong Wuwang found that using other Daoist Skills couldn’t break it; his only option was death unless he employed Chen Shi’s Yin Yang Dojo.

He didn’t want to die, so he used the Yin Yang Dojo to break the old monk’s Daoist Skill.

The old monk laughed heartily, unceremoniously pulling all the hair from Zhong Wuwang’s head and burning it with scar marks.

Unable to clarify his reasoning, he was forced to become the old monk’s disciple.

These years, on Ling Mountain, he followed the old monk in vegetarianism and chanting, and the old monk asked him to teach the Yin Yang Qi, compelling him to impart more of the Yin Yang Dao.

Zhong Wuwang wasn’t sure who was the master and who was the disciple, but despite the hardships, the old monk also imparted his entire skillset to him, and he learned many Buddhist supreme skills as well, greatly advancing his cultivation.

The old monk wasn’t highly educated, but he really treated Zhong Wuwang well. Seeing his cultivation complete, the old monk helped him find another Dao Realm on Ling Mountain.

—Of course, the owner of the Dao Realm wasn’t willing to give it up, but after being beaten by the old monk, they handed it over.

Zhong Wuwang’s original path was that of the internal Dao Realm, different from Chen Shi’s Heaven and Earth Unite with Me Dao, which was a unique path created due to the peculiarities of the West Bull New Continent.

His was the Harmonization of the internal, invulnerable from the outside, and naturally had a Vajra Body.

However, due to the limited space within his internal Dao Realm, it imposed a cap on his cultivation at the same realm, initially being not much different from immortals of the same realm, but as time went on, his cultivation level became a bit lower, and the higher the realm, the lower it was.

The old monk indeed treated him well, this time on Ling Mountain, helping him fill his deficiencies, making his mana vigorous, far surpassing his peers.

When Zhong Wuwang reached this part, the envy and jealousy in his eyes toward Chen Shi vanished, replaced with pity, thinking: "My Dao Realm is on Ling Mountain, so I am someone from the Earth Immortal Realm. His Dao Realm is still in the West Bull New Continent, merely a country bumpkin."

He revealed a slight smile, thinking: "As for True King, just a country’s Earth Emperor, what is there to mention?"

Chen Shi did not know what was on his mind, and upon hearing Zhong Wuwang’s painful experiences over the years, he felt much more comfortable, with a slight smile on his lips unconsciously.

He was quite concerned about Zhong Wuwang’s ascension, firstly because the guy took his Flask of Yin and Yang Essence, and secondly, genuinely worried about his fellow townsman’s safety in the Immortal Realm.

Seeing Zhong Wuwang safe, albeit not well-off, he was much relieved.

Zhong Wuwang, having vented somewhat, had most of his grievances dissipated, and asked: "Why has Chen Zhenwang come here?"

Chen Shi hesitated for a moment, and said: "I was originally working in the Heavenly Soldier Camp, but some time ago I offended King Li. He wanted to take my life, so he sent me to explore the World of Wu Fang."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Wuwang was even happier, with the expression of someone experienced saying, "King Li sent you to die, you know. If he wants you dead, he won’t personally kill you, but instead assign you a dangerous task to take your life. Back then, the Heavenly Soldier Camp I was in, because we offended King Li, was sent to the Northern Continent to die."

Chen Shi was slightly taken aback; King Li sent him to explore the worlds of Three Elements, Tai Lai, and others, to investigate the destruction caused by the Sutra of Eternal Freedom. Was it truly just King Li’s plan of killing with borrowed knives?

If he died in such dangerous places, King Li could still turn him into a Heavenly Dao Divine!

"That King Li guy..."

Chen Shi shook his head, asking: "Is the World of Wu Fang dangerous?"

Zhong Wuwang replied: "It’s extremely dangerous for you, but now that there are two of us master and disciple, it’s not as dangerous."

He paused, adding: "The World of Wu Fang was originally a place used by the Buddhist for tempering Buddhist Law and enhancing merits, often visited by Buddhist folks from various places."

During the conversation, the Star Shuttle had already traversed infinite cosmos, gradually slowing and arriving in front of an ancient ferry.
