Above the Great Dao-Chapter 1444 - 671: A Gentleman Takes Revenge Before Nightfall (Part 2)

As the Fairy traveled along the path, she saw in this Holy Land, an immense army of Immortals by the sea, numbering in the tens of thousands, all elite soldiers and capable generals, occasionally descending to the mortal world upon edict to suppress demons.

In the sky, there was also an army, entirely composed of Demon Immortals, bizarrely shaped and fierce-looking, yet well-drilled and battle-hardened.

On land, there was another army, but this one was of Demon Immortals who were Demon Cultivators, each ghastly and fierce, not appearing to be good people, their gazes towards the Fairy seemed as if they wanted to devour her alive.

"Truly a Demon Lord of Mayhem, no wonder Lady sent me to see this person."

The Fairy arrived in front of three divine altars; these were the three altars of heaven, earth, and human, receiving incense from the Heavenly Gods, Earth Gods, and the mortal world. On the central human altar sat a great god, with three heads and six arms, a vertical eye on the brow, and a fiery spear across the knees.

A red halo like a full moon glowed behind the head, containing the Daluo Dao Realm, flanked by two fiery wheels, with a blazing fire dragon coiled nearby.

The Fairy stepped forward, took out the Lady's edict, and said, "Three Altar Sea Meeting Great God, Emperor Earth has a decree for you."

The great god was quite large, nourished by the incense of the Three Realms, exuding a divine and immortal aura. He raised a hand to summon the Lady's edict, examined it carefully, and exclaimed, "My father's Exquisite Golden Treasure Tower is no longer with him? When did this happen? How could so many of his enemies not inform me!"

Both shocked and delighted, he stood up, divine power and immortal Dao power surged around him like a tide, and laughed, "Without the Exquisite Golden Treasure Tower by his side, isn't he greatly exposed to danger? As his child, how can I stand by while my old father is in peril?"

He grasped the fiery spear, stepped onto the Wind Fire Wheel, the red wheel soared, turning into a circle of Qian and Kun, the fire dragon flew over, transforming into the Hun Tian Ling, and with great speed, he rushed straight to the Heavenly Court. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"Thank you, Lady, for your guidance!"

His voice echoed from afar, "First, I will repay my father for raising me, then come back to thank the Lady!"

The Fairy smiled and said, "Truly, he has the disposition of a Demon Lord of Mayhem."

Since Chen Shi's return, King Li's old injuries flared up again, and after nursing them for a few days until they just healed, he immediately contacted his senior on Lingjiu Mountain to inquire about the situation on Ling Mountain.

Upon learning that Ling Mountain faced the Great Ming King of Timeless Tribulation, resulting in unknown casualties among the monks, he became ashen-faced.

"This scoundrel Chen Shi, how many monks did he kill on Ling Mountain? Will the Tathagata blame it on me?"

As he pondered, suddenly a voice from beyond the Heaven startled him, "Dad! Dad! Your child is back! I heard you were injured and came rushing back without delay. Dad, where is your Exquisite Golden Treasure Tower? I've been feeling itchy lately and want to enjoy it once more!"

King Li reached out to fetch the Exquisite Golden Treasure Tower, only to recall that it was taken back by the Ancient Lamp Buddha, his face noticeably changed.

"Can't bring it out, can you? Li! Jing!"

...

Chen Shi returned to the Heavenly Soldier Camp, looking for the Black Pot, only to find it absent, causing him great concern.

"A True Monarch came by recently with a dog, the dog transformed into a Dog Taoist, and upon seeing the Dog Taoist, the Black Immortal left with him."

The Heavenly Mechanism Scholar Zhong Lin said to Chen Shi, "He hasn't returned yet."

"True Monarch, Dog Taoist?" Chen Shi was bewildered.

"I heard people say the True Monarch is the nephew of the Jade Emperor Great Heavenly Venerate, having come from the Ancestral Court on the Divine Continent, likely returning to guard the Ancestral Court."

Chen Shi was somewhat relieved, having never visited the Ancestral Court, and didn't know what it looked like.

"If I have time, I must visit the Ancestral Court and see it for myself."

After a brief rest, Chen Shi immediately went to the East Heavenly Palace to see the East King.

The East King, upon seeing him, said with a smile, "Daoist Chen, it's been months, where have you been?"

Chen Shi fell into the World of Wu Fang, repeatedly lost in the Divine Skills of Eternal Freedom for thirteen years each time. However, those were within the divine powers, and only a few months had passed outside.

With a bitter face, Chen Shi said, "Your Majesty, King Li wants to kill me! Please seek justice for me!"

The East King's face changed, "When did this happen?"

Chen Shi recounted the incident of King Li sending him to the World of Wu Fang, wiping his tears and said, "I am Your Majesty's Immortal, and King Li schemes to take my life, showing blatant disrespect to Your Majesty, treating you as if you were nothing!"

The East King raised a hand, "Say no more! King Li knows I am your patron yet still acts against you. I certainly won't let him off easily! His third son serves at the Three Altar Sea Meeting as the Great Marshal of the Southern Heaven Three Armies' soldiers and horses, always at odds with him. If he knows King Li's Exquisite Treasure Tower is lost, he'll surely come to take his life!"

Chen Shi hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, to be honest, my godmother was so enraged on hearing of my plight that she already sent someone to invite the Three Altar Sea Meeting Great God. Your Majesty, perhaps consider another option?"

The East King hesitated, "Although the Three Altar Sea Meeting Great God is a Demon Lord of Mayhem, the Jade Emperor Great Heavenly Venerate certainly wouldn't allow him to kill King Li… Alright then, I'll settle accounts for you. You just wait patiently for the good news."

Chen Shi expressed his gratitude.

After leaving the East Heavenly Palace, Chen Shi rushed to the Thunder Department Shenxiao Jade Mansion to see the Jiutian Yingyuan Leisheng Puhua Tianzun, lamenting to his uncle.

He then went to the Dou Department to find Dou Mu Primordial Monarch, lamenting King Li's injustice, Dou Mu Primordial Monarch said, "Though I've joined the Divine Dao, I can't bear seeing Golden Turtle Island being bullied. Just go back and don't mention visiting me here, there will be news later."

Chen Shi then visited the Wen Department and others, lamenting in turn, and then returned to the Heavenly Court, going back to the Heavenly Soldier Camp.

Just as he settled down, he heard some news.
