Above the Great Dao

Chapter 1220 568: One Good Deed a Day 2

Jueyangzi was moved, his voice trembling, "The Five Elements Tribulation Relief Pill is a top-grade Immortal Pill! A single Spirit Pill is enough to let an Immortal escape the bondage of the Five Elements! But I heard it requires Immortal Grass and Immortal Medicine to refine. Your Majesty, where did you acquire the Immortal Grass? Does our West Bull New Continent have Immortal Grass and Immortal Medicine?"

He was indescribably excited.

The West Bull New Continent has always been barren. Back then, he intended to refine an Immortal Pill and searched for many elixir recipes, but it ended in vain because he couldn't find any Immortal Grass or Immortal Medicine.

Lady Houtu laughed and said, "The Five Elements Tribulation Relief Pill is just an ordinary Immortal recipe. It is not a top-grade Immortal Pill."

Jueyangzi and the others were still extremely excited.

Chen Shi said, "Jueyangzi, you don't need to concern yourself with the origins of these Immortal Grass and Immortal Medicine. You each pick the useful parts of the Immortal Medicine, but leave the roots and plant the Immortal Medicine near the Heaven Measuring Cliff on Qianyang Mountain. From now on, our West Bull New Continent will have Immortal Medicine too."

Jueyangzi and the others agreed. When they saw the Red Yuan Pill Furnace, they were even more shocked in their hearts.

Dan Chengzi was famous for his alchemy skills. Upon seeing this furnace, he rushed over, crouching beside it, unable to part with it, muttering, "Is there such a treasure in the world? Just seeing it is worth dying for!"

Chen Shi gave some instructions and entered the Houde Palace, where he saw Lady Houtu flipping through the ledger.

"This time we are going to visit Immortal Monarch Wu Banshan."

Lady Houtu closed a scroll of the ledger and said, "Immortal Monarch Wu, back in the day, performed countless good deeds, his virtue unparalleled, indescribable even with a bamboo scroll. However, he had connections in the Earth Immortal Realm, and during Tribulation Crossing, someone blocked it for him. After his Ascension, his past misdeeds were forgotten. He has a Yanfu Treasure Tree, which he uses to face Opening Tribulations, and it is very powerful. The Yanfu Treasure Tree is also an Immortal Medicine, countless times better than the Immortal Medicine we stole before! Immortal Wu relied on it to pass an Opening Tribulation."

Chen Shi inquired, "Is Immortal Wu in his Dao Realm?"

Lady Houtu shook her head and said, "He is not. He went to the Xuanhuang Sea to seek fortune, saying that the Flame Spirit Pearl is emerging there, and he is trying his luck. Many Golden Immortals and Immortal Monarchs have gone to the Xuanhuang Sea, attempting to find the Flame Spirit Pearl. However, there should be a Taoist Body guarding his Dao Realm, so do not disturb the Taoist Body."

The Taoist Body of an Immortal Monarch is extremely powerful. Currently, as Lady Houtu's incense has not yet recovered, and Chen Shi no longer has the Outer Heaven True God, neither of them are a match for Immortal Wu's Taoist Body.

Chen Shi pondered for a moment and said, "Lady, this time I must bring my brother. Lady, please wait for me!"

He hurried away and soon arrived in the Demon Domain of the underworld.

Although the yin energy of the West Bull New Continent has been refined away, there are still places where it remains, and the Demon Domain is one of them.

However, the most abundant element in the Demon Domain is the Demon Qi.

Many demons reside here, unique species formed by the pollution of Demon Qi.

Black Pot is the king of these demons, ruling over this domain.

"Black Pot, I need you!"

Black Pot heard Chen Shi's voice from afar, stood up, and rushed over quickly.

It was not yet fully grown, its body larger than before, almost as large as an adult Huo Dou. As it ran, it shrunk in size, quickly becoming the size it was in the Mortal World, and roared to Chen Shi's side.

"Woof woof woof!" Black Pot barked.

Chen Shi said helplessly, "Grandfather came to you too? I know he entrusted me to you."

A man and a dog walked towards Houde Palace, Black Pot glancing at him, saying, "Woof?"

"We're really not doing something bad, it's a good deed! How could Lady Houtu and I possibly do something bad?"

"Woof woof!"

"If you don't trust me, can't you trust Lady Houtu? Didn't you see the name of the palace? Houde Guangda Palace! What does Houde mean? Great virtue supports all things! The lady has a grand heart, as vast as the earth, capable of bearing everything. Guangda means she is upright and frank. It's not what you think!"

"Woof?"

"This time, well, we're indeed going to pilfer some things, but it's not robbery... Black Pot, my grandfather said, just do good deeds, don't ask about the future. Stop asking more questions!"

...

Black Pot followed Chen Shi to Houde Palace, and after hearing the lady explain the goal of this trip, finally realized it wasn't robbery, but theft. It looked at Chen Shi with resentful eyes.

"Stealing treasures from the Immortal Monarch, the lady should not go."

Chen Shi thought for a moment and said, "The Immortal Monarch's strength is unfathomable, it's hard to ensure the Taoist Body isn't in the Dao Realm. Lady, guard the rosy clouds, prep for response, and I, along with Black Pot, will go to steal the treasure."

Lady Houtu also knew her experience wasn't as rich as theirs, so she agreed.

The two, along with Black Pot, followed the rosy clouds, walking for an unknown period, finally reaching outside a Dao Realm.

Lady Houtu stayed outside, while Black Pot took the lead into the Dao Realm.

Immortal Wu had already cultivated to the Tenth Level Dao Realm, the Xuanming Gonghua Heaven. This Dao Realm was vast and boundless, endless, with the heavenly sounds echoing within it. Below the land, countless Heavenly Demons grew, one side being Yellow Demons, the other Great Demons, fighting and slaughtering each other.

"Yellow Demons and Great Demons, all transformed from Dao Images."

Chen Shi saw clearly that these Yellow Demons and Great Demons were all constructed from Dao Patterns, possessing immense power.

Their mutual warfare and combat served as a training ground for Immortal Wu, aiding him to enhance his understanding of Daoist Skills.

"The Dao Realm is truly wondrous."

Chen Shi couldn't help but praise, also noticing other Dao Images: on the ground stood tall forests, in the air floated red books, vermilion characters like cinnabar. There were also the Heavenly Road, Eight Tribulations Court, Seven Treasures Forest, and other Dao Images, with the heavenly sounds above likely being another Dao Image.

The most eye-catching was an Immortal Tree.

The Treasure Tree hung upside down on Immortal Wu's Dao Realm Heavenly Dome, its roots buried into a scorched land — the Heavenly Dome of Immortal Wu's Dao Realm had a land seemingly scorched by fire, glowing crimson red, around ten acres wide.

The Treasure Tree grew downwards, its canopy like an opened green umbrella.

From this Treasure Tree hung strands of azure brilliance, extremely magnificent. The azure brilliance opened in the air, forming the canopy, branches, trunk, and immensely thick roots of a towering tree!

The roots were embedded into the land of the Dao Realm, like giant gnarled dragons, twisting and knotted!

The Yanfu Treasure Tree wasn't big, at most a few meters in height, but the azure brilliance it emitted formed an incomprehensibly large Treasure Tree, which protected the entire Xuanming Gonghua Heaven Dao Realm!

The scene was overwhelmingly majestic.

Yanfu is Sanskrit, meaning immensely large trees.

The true body of the Yanfu Treasure Tree was extremely small, but its projection was incomprehensibly large, even capable of sheltering the Dao Realm of a peak Golden Immortal!

"This Treasure Tree, if refined into a Magical Treasure, upon raising it, wouldn't it mean that one's body could instantly become incomprehensibly massive? Its purpose, beyond being just an Immortal Medicine!"

Immediately, Chen Shi and Black Pot, one in front and one behind, flew towards the Yanfu Treasure Tree.

Black Pot's eyes glowed ghostly, forming an invisible domain covering a thousand miles.

In Immortal Wu's Dao Realm, there were many disciples, and it was hard to ensure that no one would discover them and awaken Immortal Wu's Taoist Body. Therefore, Black Pot's role was crucial.

Along the way, Chen Shi saw numerous palace pavilions established on the projection of the Yanfu Treasure Tree, likely the residences of Immortal Wu's disciples on the tree projection.

Chen Shi looked at Black Pot, which immediately caught on and stayed near the palace pavilions.

Chen Shi continued forward, heading toward the scorched land on the dome.

"Strange, where is Immortal Wu's Taoist Body hiding? Could it be that it went to contest for the Flame Spirit Pearl too? Had I known, I should have let Auntie come and have a blast."

He continued observing the surroundings, confirming the absence of Immortal Wu's Taoist Body, gradually reaching the dome.

The place where the Yanfu Treasure Tree was rooted was a piece of scorched land, washed by war and blood, emitting a chillingly terrifying aura. Just approaching, Chen Shi was beset by illusions.

He hastily urged the Purple Heaven Vine, leveraging its power to fend off the effects of the scorched land.

"This Yanfu Treasure Tree is suppressing this scorched land! Why suppress the scorched land?"

He dared not think further, immediately summoning the Purple Heaven Vine. A vine shot from the small temple behind his head, wrapping around the Yanfu Treasure Tree.

Chen Shi gradually exerted force, slowly uprooting the Yanfu Treasure Tree from the scorched land!

Suddenly, as the Yanfu Treasure Tree's roots withdrew from the scorched land, they intertwined into a sphere.

The instant the Yanfu Treasure Tree disappeared, the projection it created encompassing the Dao Realm also vanished instantly!

Without its support, the Immortal Palaces and Immortal Halls built on the tree were about to fall, but at the same moment, Black Pot's mana burst forth, holding all the palaces aloft. The Immortal Palaces and Halls didn't budge; Wu Immortal Lord's disciples living there didn't notice anything amiss.

Regardless of their level of cultivation, they were all caught up in Black Pot's illusion at this moment, unaware that everything before them was false.

And before Chen Shi, the scorched land spanning more than ten acres suddenly erupted, surging tribulations rushing in all directions!

Chen Shi instantly realized, "This scorched land is Wu Immortal Lord's Opening Tribulation tribulation!"
