Above the Great Dao

Chapter 1221 569: Qianyang Holy Land

In Immortal Wu's Dao Realm, the Yellow Demon and the Great Demon were still fighting; they were unaffected because they were relatively simple Dao Images with no cognitive abilities, oblivious to the disappearance of the Yanfu Treasure Tree.

The Black Pot carefully carried all the Immortal Palaces and Immortal Halls, steadily following Chen Shi. Yet, none of Immortal Wu's numerous disciples noticed anything amiss.

Among these disciples, there were those who had cultivated in the Immortal Realm to become Heavenly Immortals, but they, too, were deceived by the Black Pot.

One of the Heavenly Immortals seemed to have sensed something, looking up at the sky, with Dao Patterns swirling in his eyes, using a particularly powerful Pupil Technique.

Seeing this, the Black Pot feared he might see through the illusory nature of the Yanfu Treasure Tree and immediately focused its gaze on that person.

The Heavenly Immortal's sharp eyes illuminated the sky, failing to notice anything amiss, and he said with a self-mocking smile: "I'm too sensitive, actually thinking the heavens and earth are moving."

Chen Shi observed this and silently praised: "If the Black Pot wanted to deceive me, I'm afraid I wouldn't notice any difference either."

He and the dog sneakily moved towards the place of the rosy clouds, with Lady Houtu meeting them amidst the rosy glow. Suddenly, her expression changed slightly, and she gestured behind them.

Chen Shi looked back to see clouds forming into the shape of an eyebrow in the distance, with the facial features formed by the clouds becoming clearer in the farther distance!

The wind from the Dao Realm stirred the clouds, causing this huge face to form rapidly!

As the face slowly opened its eyes, Chen Shi's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately shouted: "Black Pot, never mind the others! Let's go!"

He was the first to dash away.

The Black Pot immediately discarded the Immortal Palaces and Immortal Halls, stepped on the Demon Fire, and leapt away, following Chen Shi.

No longer controlling everyone, Immortal Wu's numerous disciples awoke as if from a dream. Looking around, they saw the Yanfu Treasure Tree had disappeared without a trace, and the Immortal Palaces and Immortal Halls began to fall. They quickly steadied themselves and raised the Immortal Palaces and Immortal Halls in sacrifice.

"What happened?"

"Where did the Yanfu Treasure Tree go?"

"The Treasure Tree was stolen!"

Panic spread among the crowd as they looked around, while Chen Shi and the Black Pot had already fled far away, nearing the place of the rosy clouds.

At this moment, the huge face formed by the clouds suddenly lunged forward, rushing onto the body of a Heavenly Immortal, causing the cloud to disperse immediately.

The Heavenly Immortal's body slightly jolted, as if switched to another person, and he quickly soared into the air, transforming into a beam of Immortal Light, and rushed towards Chen Shi and the Black Pot, calling out from afar: "Which friends come to my Dao Realm without a word, allowing me to fulfill my duties as a host?"

This Heavenly Immortal's cultivation wasn't very high, but his speed was extremely fast, closing the distance between them in a short moment.

Seeing Chen Shi and the Black Pot about to enter the rosy clouds, suddenly a cloud of air flew out from within his body, rushing towards Chen Shi and the Black Pot.

And the Heavenly Immortal then slowly stopped, gazing around in a daze, not knowing what had just happened.

Chen Shi was the first to enter the rosy clouds, exiting the Dao Realm, with the Black Pot following suit and entering the rosy clouds. Just as it stepped upon the rosy glow, it stood upright and spoke human words: "Friend, what enmity or grievance do I have with you, Wu, to steal my Yanfu Treasure Tree?"

As the Black Pot spoke, it launched a ferocious attack on Chen Shi!

Though it was a Huo Dou, it exhibited half-Buddha half-Tao Immortal Law, attacking with precision and control, with Taoist Thunder Law bursting from its fingers and palms, swift and domineering. Simultaneously, its physical body also bore the Buddha Golden Body, extremely strong and exquisitely adept.

Chen Shi sidestepped to avoid the Black Pot's attack, startled in heart: "The Black Pot has been possessed by Immortal Wu?"

He activated the Great Wilderness Ming Dao Collection, and the man and dog raced through the rosy clouds for a hundred miles, exchanging dozens of blows without being able to defeat each other.

"Hehua Zizai Fa (Other Transformation Technique)?" came Lady Houtu's voice.

The Black Pot heard the voice coming from its back and was about to look back when suddenly a ribbon bound it, whereupon divine light burst forth and a slender jade finger touched its brow.

The Black Pot's body shook violently, and a voice came from its mouth—Immortal Wu's voice—rapidly fading into the distance, gradually getting smaller, shouting: "Who are you to break my Hehua Zizai Magic Skill?"

Lady Houtu snorted coldly, retracted the ribbon, and said: "Turns out Immortal Wu is a disciple of the Buddhist sect."

The Black Pot regained its consciousness, was startled, and hurriedly looked around, fearing something strange would possess it again.

Chen Shi also breathed a sigh of relief and asked: "Lady, what is this Hehua Zizai Technique?"

Lady Houtu said: "The Buddhist sect established the Western Paradise as its own realm, and within it exists the Other Transformation Heaven (Hehua Zizai Heaven), where the Heavenly Beings possess this ability to attach to others, controlling their body, leveraging their Physical Body, Primordial Spirit, Mana, wealth, and family, living freely and happily. A similar cultivation technique is called Hehua Zizai Technique."

Chen Shi felt a slight movement in his heart. Although he hadn't much contact with the Buddhist sect, he had encountered the Buddhist Hell in the underworld and met some Heavenly Beings.

Lady Houtu said: "Immortal Wu practices a similar Magic Skill. He doesn't need to leave a Taoist Body to guard the Dao Realm, but with just a moment's thought, he can descend into the heaven and earth of the Dao Realm and attach to any disciple, or even an invader."

Chen Shi felt a slight movement in his heart: "It's somewhat like the Lin She Skill, but much more advanced!"

The Lin She Skill is a Divine Skill developed by Granny Sha. The power of this Divine Skill lies in being able to cross realms and descend into another person's body, but Lin She has significant drawbacks, requiring a long preparation time to set up an altar. The target for Lin She also cannot be too strong, and transferring from one person to another also requires a long preparation time.

But the Hehua Technique can even effortlessly control a strong presence like the Black Pot, and controlling an Immortal is no problem at all, making it highly advanced!
