Above the Great Dao-Chapter 1455 - 676: Opening Tribulation Source_2

Chen Shi was excited, the Earth Treasure Spirit Root can help Immortals avoid a few cleanses, and then it withers away. Is it because the Earth Spirit of the Dark Sea within the Earth Treasure Spirit Root is exhausted, and that's why it withers?

He thought even more.

"Immortals with a low realm can rely on their own strength to pass the Opening Tribulation, probably because their Harmonization is not deep yet. When cultivating to the True Immortal Realm, the deeper the Dao Realm, the more severe the Harmonization, the heavier the Opening Tribulation!"

"In other words, the Dao Realm causes the power of the Opening Tribulation!"

"So, does that mean I might not be free from tribulation?"

Cold sweat suddenly appeared on Chen Shi's forehead. The more he modified the Heaven and Earth Great Dao, the heavier the Opening Tribulation. If this speculation holds, then his path of Heaven and Earth coming together to Harmonize my Dao...

"Could it be the heaviest?"

Chen Shi shivered.

He always thought that he was Harmonizing on the West Bull New Continent, and since the West Bull New Continent is in the Dark Sea, he would be free from tribulation.

But the essence of the Opening Tribulation is that the Immortal Dao and the Heaven and Earth Great Dao of the Dark Sea cannot be completely compatible!

Chen Shi's alteration of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao during Harmonization to achieve perfect compatibility with himself was, instead, the most severe!

The counterattack of the original Heaven and Earth Great Dao of the Earth Immortal Realm towards him might be stronger than that towards Immortals of the same realm!

"Stay Calm, stay calm."

Chen Shi mocked himself, "With so many Earth Treasure Spirit Roots in Qianyang Mountain, why fear the Opening Tribulation? But speaking of which, if the higher the Dao Realm, the heavier the Opening Tribulation, doesn't that mean the Opening Tribulation of the Three Pure Ones is the heaviest? Why can the Three Pure Ones still leave behind their Dao Realm to protect the disciples of the Three Pure Ones Sect?"

Besides the Three Pure Ones, there are also two Buddhas from the Western Heaven, who also left their Dao Realm to protect the Buddhist path.

"Apart from them being too strong, overpowering the counterattack of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao, there is no other explanation."

Chen Shi thought to himself, "The Three Pure Ones have a strong belief in the supremacy of the Immortal Dao. Their own strength is so powerful that even the Heaven and Earth Great Dao of the Earth Immortal Realm could not destroy their Dao Realm. In this way, the belief of the Three Pure Ones is not wrong. As long as I am strong enough, no matter how fierce the counterattack of the Great Dao of the Dark Sea is, I will remain unmoved."

This is precisely why the Three Pure Ones dared to declare the Outer Dao as non-Daos, right?

The skills of these three Saints made him look up in admiration.

"When will I have the courage to say such words?" he thought to himself.

At this moment, a cry of alarm was heard, and a noise followed. Soon, the Heavenly Mechanism Scholar Zhong Lin ran over, shouting, "Senior Brother Chen, Senior Brother Chen! We have unearthed something in the Demon Suppression Cave!"

Chen Shi immediately went to meet him, asking, "Zhong Lin, what did you unearth?"

"I don't know, I just know that the aura of the Outer Dao suddenly surged. Brother Gourd Dog didn't sniff it out, Brother Bian blocked the front to cover our retreat, and didn't come out of the Demon Suppression Cave, his life or death unknown."

Chen Shi was taken aback, as Bian Liu'er was his senior brother, and a survivor of mining for over four hundred years in such an immortal mine as the Yama Well. Immortal mines are filled with various strange dangers; sometimes they dig up dangerous prehistoric relics, other times poisonous insects or creatures, or even the Great Demon Skeleton.

An immortal mining slave living ten years is already one in a thousand. Living a hundred years is one in ten thousand.

Bian Liu'er's survival from mining in the Yama Well for over four hundred years makes him absolutely a Grandmaster-level mining slave!

His entrapment in the Demon Suppression Cave suggests that something extraordinary was unearthed inside.

Chen Shi hurriedly followed Zhong Lin over, with Jiao Quezi, Qiao Gu, and others also following. Their strength was high, far surpassing others, and they were prepared to enter the Demon Suppression Cave to rescue Bian Liu'er.

The Demon Suppression Cave, located near Golden Turtle Island, became a residence for demons when Chen Shi refined away the Outer Dao aura. During the cleaning of the cave by Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, they encountered this demon, hence the name Demon Suppression Cave.

When this mine tunnel was opened, beams of rosy clouds shot straight beyond the Nine Heavens, an astounding sight.

They entered the mine, discovering that it reached the main vein of Immortal Gold, with highly refined Immortal Gold being produced. Therefore, they intended to mine more to refine magical treasures, not expecting this incident to occur.

Upon arriving outside the Demon Suppression Cave, Chen Shi observed that the entrance of the cave was emitting Outer Dao aura, making it difficult to approach.

Without hesitation, Chen Shi dashed inside, following the tunnel towards the main vein of Immortal Gold.

Jiao Quezi followed and said in a deep voice, "Jiang Guo, guard the cave entrance, do not let anyone enter."

Chen Shi led the way, refining the Outer Dao aura along the way, and led the group deeper into the cave.

The presence of Outer Dao aura intensified, forcing Chen Shi to slow down, continually refining the aura.

Fortunately, they had not gone far before they saw Bian Liu'er lying on the ground.

The group hurried forward to help Bian Liu'er up, and Chen Shi mobilized the Daoist Field to refine the Outer Dao aura within him.

At this moment, Chen Shi noticed something clutched in Bian Liu'er's hand.

Chen Shi took the item from Bian Liu'er's hand, finding it to be a Copper Bell. The bell was surprisingly thick, emanating a dark green glow, appearing like copper rust, deeply ingrained within, appearing very ancient.

Intricate patterns were faintly visible on it, seemingly chaotic, but upon closer inspection, there seemed to be a unique order.

Chen Shi had a slight realization: "Outer Dao Pattern!"

His understanding of the Outer Dao was not deep, but even in the Earth Immortal Realm, those more proficient than him were few.

He gently shook the bell, and immediately chiming sounds resounded, crisp and melodious, but it left everyone apart from him in a disoriented state, hurriedly supporting themselves against the cave, looking over in confusion.

"This Outer Dao seems to specialize in soul attacks!"

Chen Shi was greatly astonished, clearly, the Copper Bell was a Magic Artifact or Magical Treasure.

But how could there be an Outer Dao Magical Treasure within the Immortal Mine?

At this time, chiming sounds also echoed from deep within the cave, as if a bit distant.

Chen Shi appeared bewildered and shook the Copper Bell again, and after a while, the chiming sounds came again from deep within the cave.

"Something strange!"

He wanted to shake the bell again when Jing Mei lunged forward, pressing his hand down. Everyone was so dizzy from the two chimes that they could no longer hold on. Seeing Jing Mei act, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Shi was still looking astonished towards the depths of the cave, and suddenly said, "Master Jiao, Brother Bian, have you ever seen or heard of living beings being excavated from a mineral vein?"

Everyone shook their heads, all indicating they had never heard of such a thing.

Bian Liu'er gradually awoke, immediately searching around upon awakening, asking, "Where's the Copper Bell I found?"

Chen Shi returned the Copper Bell to him, and only after holding it did Bian Liu'er breathe a sigh of relief, saying, "I found this treasure while mining Immortal Gold. I accidentally discovered a bell embedded in the mining wall. I wanted to take the bell off. Unexpectedly, the cave collapsed as soon as the bell came off. I felt the presence of Outer Dao aura, so I urged everyone to leave quickly. I stayed behind to cover the retreat, relying on this bell to save my life."

Chen Shi asked, "Did you hear any other bell sounds from within the cave?"

Bian Liu'er shook his head.

Chen Shi said, "I'll go in and take a look. You all withdraw from the cave first."

He proceeded alone deeper into the cave, while Master Jiao and others led the still weak Bian Liu'er outside.

Chen Shi ventured continuously deeper, as this vein was winding, and the tunnel extremely complex. He traveled over ten miles before reaching the site of the incident.

In his view was a collapsed mass of rocks and stones, and beyond this mass, he saw an underground lake, and across the lake, a Green Palace stood.

Chen Shi's heart raced wildly: "Dark Sea Green Palace! No, this isn't the Dark Sea, then what is the origin of this Green Palace?"
