Above the Great Dao-Chapter 1484 - 689: Dark Sea Heavenly Dao (Part 2)

Little Dun Fairy said, "People of the West Bull New Continent. Our ancestors were from the Huaxia Divine Continent, later exiled to the Dark Sea before reaching the West Bull New Continent."

The other villagers listened, and their eyes all focused on her.

Shangdu Gong said, "Young lady, what is your surname and given name?"

Little Dun Fairy said, "Surname Zi, given name Duan'er."

Shangdu Gong said, "The Zi surname is rare; it is the surname of the Shang Royal Family."

Little Dun Fairy said, "My ancestor Zi Geng led the Great Shang remnant across the sea to survive."

Shangdu Gong said, "The Royal Family has a bloodline that can be verified."

Little Dun Fairy activated her bloodline, and immediately a torrent of Dao Power erupted from within her, the Witch Sacrificial Dao Pattern transformed in the air into a black Mysterious Bird, black flames burning the world!

Shangdu Gong said, "Who else is in your family, young lady?"

Little Dun Fairy shook her head and said, "Only I am left."

Seeing this, Shangdu Gong no longer hesitated and was the first to bow: "Ancestor of the Witch Sacrifice, Du, pays respects to Your Majesty!"

The other villagers also followed in bowing.

"Witch Sacrifice Tang Feng, pays respects to Your Majesty!"

"Witch Sacrifice Song Gu, pays respects to Your Majesty!"

"Witch Sacrifice Qu Lihua, pays respects to Your Majesty!"

...

Little Dun Fairy quickly supported them, saying, "The Great Shang has long fallen, no need for such courtesy. I'm already content to see that there are still Shang people alive."

Shangdu Gong stood up, looked at Chen Shi, and whispered, "Your Majesty, this person is an outsider, perhaps we should..."

Chen Shi's ears perked up.

Little Dun Fairy said, "He is not an outsider, he is family by marriage."

"So he is a concubine of the rear palace."

Shangdu Gong realized, saying, "Indeed, Your Majesty should have more children to proliferate the Royal Family."

Little Dun blushed slightly and quickly changed the topic, "With the Shang people either dead or exiled, how have you survived in the Earth Immortal Realm?"

Shangdu Gong said, "The Three Pure Ones opened the Earth Immortal Realm, leaving some unrefinable places here, called Dao Ruins. They needed someone to guard this place to prevent trouble, so they had us watch over the Green Stele, one part of it atonement, another to imprison us."

Chen Shi heard this and his heart stirred: "These words are not completely the same as when I first met them."

At that time, Shangdu Gong and others only said that The Three Pure Ones had them watch over the Green Stele, without mentioning atonement and imprisonment.

"What crime have you committed?" Little Dun inquired.

"Being Shang ministers is itself a crime."

Shangdu Gong said, "Moreover, we used curse techniques to kill many immortals. The Three Pure Ones investigated us thoroughly and pinned it on us despite lacking evidence. So, they had us stay here to watch over the Green Stele."

At that time, their cultivation level was not high and they weren't immortals, yet they used curse techniques to kill many experts, drawing the attention of The Three Pure Ones.

"The Three Pure Ones examined our witchcraft. They originally intended to execute us, but found that witchcraft, although similar to the Outer Dao, is actually one of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao. Killing us would render witchcraft extinct."

Shangdu Gong said, "Therefore, they had us swear an oath to stay here and guard the Stele, waiting for the day the Dao Patterns on the Green Stele wear off. That day would be when our sentence ends."

Chen Shi's heart stirred, and he inquired, "Duke Du, what is this witchcraft?"

He had noted down many Witch Sacrificial Dao Patterns from the Great Shang remnant of the Western Ox Continent. These Dao Patterns had ancient origins, imprinted in the bloodline of the Shang people, containing many sources of the Immortal Dao and Divine Dao. However, the curse technique Shangdu Gong mentioned was unknown to Chen Shi.

Shangdu Gong gave him a cautious glance and whisperingly said, "Your Majesty, the meddling of the inner palace in politics, according to law, requires the penalty of heart creation as a warning to others."

Little Dun suppressed a laugh and said, "Our Great Shang's Divine Officer who managed penalties has died, and the records of these penalties have been lost. There are no such penalties now."

Shangdu Gong said, "I know. The punishment of heart creation involves cutting open the chest to remove the heart and liver."

Little Dun was startled and quickly said, "My husband is the past King of the Great Shang remnant of the Western Ox New Continent. He saved our Great Shang remnant from water and fire, a great merit indeed."

Upon hearing this, Shangdu Gong could not help but feel deep respect for Chen Shi and said, "In ancient times, there was Fu Hao who led troops to war. Today, there is Chen Hao who aids in the Shang revival. The Chen family should be conferred noble rank!"

The other villagers also praised in succession, "The Chen family should be conferred noble rank!"

Chen Shi left these old and young remnants of the Great Shang and approached the Green Stele alone.

He carefully examined the Green Stele, thinking, "This stele is also green, similar in material to the Underground Green Palace. Could it be that Daoist Spirit Treasure had seen the Green Palace or something similar at that time?"

Previously, when he saw the Green Stele, he didn't find anything peculiar, but after seeing the Underground Green Palace, he felt there might be some connection.

"What material is the Green Stele made of?"

He stepped forward to touch the stele. It was icy cold with a jade-like texture.

At this time, Chen Shi noticed that some Dao Patterns on the stele had faded and become much lighter, while others had mostly disappeared.

The Dao Patterns on the stele were profound and mysterious. When Chen Shi first came here, he comprehended the Daoist Skill of the Eastern Heavenly Azure Dragon, but since observing the stele required consuming Fuluo Village Spirit Pill, he hadn't continued. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Chen Shi once again observed the Dao Patterns on the stele and let out a light exclamation. This time, viewing the Green Stele Dao Patterns was much easier than before. Many principles on the stele seemed intuitive, and an epiphany was immediate, as if he had consumed the Fuluo Village Spirit Pill.

This change filled him with joy.

"Could it be that my comprehension of the Dark Sea Heavenly Dao has enabled me to grasp related concepts effortlessly?"

He immediately sat down before the stele and began comprehending its contents bit by bit.

The content on the stele was profoundly mysterious. Previously, even if a Daluo Golden Immortal came, they would find it difficult to grasp its mysteries.

The villagers of Fuluo Village, for over three hundred thousand years, relied on the Fuluo Village Spirit Pill to individually comprehend extraordinary Daoist Skills from the Dao Patterns on this Green Stele, thus achieving Taiyi Golden Immortal status with a blooming Golden Flower on top, all close to Daluo Golden Immortal existence.

They each comprehended different things, each with unique strengths, but no one had fully comprehended the content on the stele.

Chen Shi became engrossed, decrypting the content on the stele one by one. He had never enjoyed the pleasure of knowledge flowing from the eyes into the brain, coursing through his mind, like this before.

The old and young remnants of the Great Shang surrounded Little Dun, discussing the revival of the Shang with fervor, itching to immediately march on the Heavenly Court and seize the Jade Emperor's divine throne.

They were entirely unaware that, during this time, Chen Shi had decoded the Daoist Skill on the Green Stele to a considerable extent.

Chen Shi became increasingly enchanted and ecstatic. After decoding the Daoist Skill on the Green Stele, a sudden flash of inspiration occurred, causing him to leap up with an incredulous expression on his face.

"The Daoist Skill on this Green Stele is to neutralize and suppress the Green Palace Heavenly Dao!"

He realized.

The Daoist Skill on the Green Stele was all-encompassing, pushing the Immortal Dao to its limits, even utilizing much content from the Witch Sacrificial Dao Pattern!

The Daoist Skill contained within these Dao Patterns is profound, allowing even a Daluo Golden Immortal to struggle in understanding. The reason why Chen Shi could understand and intuitively grasp it was that the Daoist Spirit Treasure's Daoist Skill was aimed at the weaknesses of the Dark Sea Heavenly Dao!

Chen Shi's study of the Dark Sea Heavenly Dao in the Underground Green Palace allowed him to understand the Daoist Skill on the Green Stele so thoroughly!

Suddenly, he stood still.

The Three Pure Ones evidently never visited the Underground Green Palace in Penglai West nor had they seen the Dark Sea Heavenly Dao Laws, so how could they have left such a stele to suppress the Dark Sea Heavenly Dao?

"Why didn't Daoist Spirit Treasure use the Green Stele as a weapon to suppress the Dark Sea, instead leaving it in the Dao Ruins?"

He blinked, and a thought emerged, "The Green Stele suppressing the Dark Sea Heavenly Dao is placed in the Dao Ruins. Could it be that the Dao Ruins contain the Dark Sea Heavenly Dao?"

The Dao Ruins were formed by The Three Pure Ones as they refined the Dark Sea to open the Earth Immortal Realm, discarding the unrefinable residues here, forming the Dao Ruins.

"Could it be that what was discarded by The Three Pure Ones is actually the remnants of the Dark Sea Heavenly Dao left behind from opening the Earth Immortal Realm?"

His mind roared, suddenly recalling that when he first arrived at the Dao Ruins, he had sensed that the Dao Image of the Dao Ruins differed from that of the West Bull New Continent.

Now he finally understood why they were different.

During the formation of his Dao Image, it had combined with the suppressed Dark Sea Heavenly Dao in the Dao Ruins!
