Above the Great Dao

Chapter 1224 570: Stealing Across the Earth Immortal Realm (Part 2)

"Is it the Black Pot?" Sha Qiutong whispered.

"It should be, right?" Chen Yindou wasn't sure either.

"Old Chen, before you left, didn't you instruct your Black Pot to look after Little Ten?"

Du Yiran asked, "How did it end up causing trouble in the Earth Immortal Realm? And it's even on the Immortal Slaying List!"

Chen Yindou was also bewildered; indeed, at the top of the wanted list was the Black Pot. But these Immortals who had ascended had not yet reached the Earth Immortal Realm, and yet the Black Pot had already become number one?

Could it be that the Black Pot ascended to the Immortal Realm before them?

"Isn't Little Ten second on the list?" Creation Little Five suddenly asked.

Everyone focused on the second person on the Immortal Slaying List. This person was vaguely a young boy, but none of the portraits had a face.

There were over a dozen portraits of this person on the Immortal Slaying List, and each lacked a face, as if someone had intentionally erased it.

However, Sha Qiutong, Du Yiran, and others were very familiar with Chen Shi. From the clothes and demeanor in the portraits, they could confirm this person was Chen Shi!

"The witnesses' memories about Little Ten must have been erased by the Black Pot."

Chen Yindou said, "So, when they drew Little Ten, they couldn't depict his face. But..."

His face was filled with puzzlement as he murmured, "Weren't they supposed to be in the Earth Immortal Realm? When did they commit such a major crime?"

At this moment, a few Immortals noticed them and began to look over.

"This is not a place to linger!"

Everyone shivered in awareness and quickly left, heading to the next Immortal Realm.

Half a month later, they arrived in the Star Sea Immortal Realm, standing before the Immortal Slaying List of Star Sea Immortal City. Chen Yindou's eye twitched intensely as he saw that on Star Sea's Immortal Slaying List, the first position remained the Black Pot, and the second was still Chen Shi, again faceless.

"Could it be that the two Immortal Realms use the same Immortal Slaying List?" the Heavenly Fox asked.

Creation Little Five shook his head: "The third place is different, and the wanted criminals behind them are not the same. The people wanted in the two Immortal Realms are not the same."

"But the first and second are the same."

Granny Sha was also a bit troubled. "Could it be that Little Ten and the Black Pot have both ascended and committed major crimes in both places?"

They left the Star Sea Immortal Realm and came to the Moon Bay Immortal Realm, where the first and second on the Immortal Slaying List were not the Black Pot and Chen Shi, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, an Immortal Official came to change the list, and as they looked intently, they saw that the first place was a benevolent-looking large black dog, but the second was not Chen Shi.

"What crime did this dog commit?" Creation Little Five stopped the Immortal Official to ask.

"This dog, together with a master of Other Transformation Heaven, robbed the Dao Realm of Moon Bay Immortal Monarch and took the Earth Treasure Spirit Root Jade Flower."

The Immortal Official said, "The Immortal Monarch was furious and ordered us to post the Immortal Slaying List to kill it, but I reckon it won't work."

Sha Qiutong asked, puzzled, "Why?"

The Immortal Official replied, "This dog, along with that master of Other Transformation Heaven, has already robbed the Dao Realms of hundreds of Immortals and Immortal Monarchs. On the Immortal Slaying Lists across the Earth Immortal Realm, they often rank first and second, and no one has been able to capture them. Even those skilled in divination cannot figure out their origins."

Chen Yindou and others were all shocked. Did the Black Pot and Chen Shi rob hundreds of Immortals and Immortal Monarchs?

When did this happen?

"Nowadays, that dog's reputation even surpasses the Howling Celestial Dog!"

The Immortal Official shook his head and left, a voice saying, "I heard that Immortal Wu led many victims to Ling Mountain, planning to seek out beings at the level of the Buddha of Nirvana to see if something from the Other Transformation Heaven had escaped. Who knows if anything will come of it?"

Chen Yindou and others found their brains buzzing.

Creation Little Five said, "Could it be Chen Tang's doing, framing Little Ten? I always thought Chen Tang had bad intentions!"

No one responded to this.

"Can the Thousand-Mile Communication Talisman contact Little Ten?" Sha Qiutong asked.

Chen Yindou shook his head: "The distance is too far, the Thousand-Mile Communication Talisman can't reach. As of now, we can only find Little Ten and the Black Pot to understand the specifics."

They were somewhat confused; the Earth Immortal Realm is so vast, how could they find Chen Shi and the Black Pot?

Creation Little Five smiled, "I have an idea to quickly find them. As long as we commit many misdeeds and get on the Immortal Slaying List, they will surely notice us!"

"That's a good idea!" The Heavenly Fox was just about to agree when Sha Qiutong glared, stopping him.

Chen Yindou said, "Maybe we can visit Lady Houtu and ask her for guidance."

They immediately left hurriedly.

Ling Mountain, Western Heavenly Bliss World.

Immortal Wu and numerous Heavenly Immortals, True Immortals, and Golden Immortals arrived at the Bliss World, seeking an audience with the King Buddha. This King Buddha was originally a king in the mundane world who meditated on the throne, achieving great enlightenment, and became a Buddha.

Then, after experiencing more than a dozen Opening Tribulations without achieving Nirvana, he was revered as the King Buddha.

A little monk hurried over, telling Immortal Wu and the others, "The King Buddha said he already knows your purpose. He has sent people to check Other Transformation Heaven, and news will come soon. Please wait here."

They waited for several days.

The little monk hurried back, saying, "The King Buddha says he has verified Other Transformation Heaven, and no demons or ghosts have escaped."

Immortal Wu said, "We earnestly ask the King Buddha to exert great mana to divine the origins of that man and dog."

The little monk said, "The King Buddha has already calculated, but hasn't discovered the background of the man, nor has he determined what divine being the dog is. The King Buddha also said, someone far more powerful than him acted early to cloak the Heavenly Mechanism."

Everyone exchanged glances, secretly horrified.

Immortal Wu said, "Now our Earth Treasure Spirit Root has been stolen, and in the Opening Tribulation, we cannot protect ourselves; our lives are at risk. Brother, please ask again, for the King Buddha to point the way out!"

The little monk left, returning soon with the message: "The King Buddha said you should take his invitation to the Heavenly Court to inquire, maybe that will uncover the whereabouts of the man and dog."

Upon hearing this, everyone sighed. Someone muttered, "Go to the Heavenly Court? Those divine beings are eager for us to perish in the Opening Tribulation, how would they reveal who the bandits are?"

They were left without choice, treating a dead horse as if it were alive.

Everyone went to the Heavenly Court, reported the matter, and offered the King Buddha's invitation.

The Heavenly Court did not make things difficult, ordering someone to prepare the Immortal Slaying List and added the Black Pot and Chen Shi.

After two more days, a Divine General from the Heavenly Court came, saying, "The various Heavenly Kings and Heavenly Venerates of the Heavenly Court have all calculated and still have not uncovered the origins of the man and dog."

They felt a bit of despair, and Immortal Wu mumbled, "Even after the Heavenly Kings and Heavenly Venerates calculated without success, the next level is the Great Emperor and the Four Imperial Lords."

Such beings were beyond their reach.

"The release of the Heavenly Court's Immortal Slaying List will prompt a response throughout the Earth Immortal Realm, certainly exposing these two villains." The Divine General offered some comfort before issuing an eviction order.

Immortal Wu and others could only leave dejectedly.

Chen Shi and the Black Pot emerged from another Immortal Monarch's Dao Realm, and Chen Shi said, "Black Pot, after this job, let's stop. The Dan Dew we've gathered these past two years is enough; the Lady's accounts are almost clear, and Wu Qi is about to regrow all his bones. If we keep doing this, I'm afraid we might meet a mishap."

The Black Pot completely agreed.

These days, whenever Immortals and cultivators in the Dao Realm saw it, they would shout, "Number One! Number One!"

"The dog is here again!"

This always gave it an ominous feeling.

They returned to Houde Palace, coincidentally when Jue Yangzi and others finished refining a batch of Immortal Pills. Chen Shi raised the Jade Bottle to collect the Dan Dew, casually grabbing a handful of Immortal Pills to taste before distributing the rest to everyone.

He came to Wu Qi's skeletal frame and saw that Wu Qi, originally with only two bones, had basically restored his skeleton over the years of nurturing.

Once flesh and blood grow, Wu Qi will be able to live again.

"The remaining Dan Dew is enough for Wu Qi to regrow his flesh and blood."

Chen Shi thought to himself, "Wu Qi owes me such a huge favor, how will he repay it?"

He felt a bit troubled.

Lady Houtu approached, handing the last account book to Chen Shi with a smile, "Your Majesty, once this last account is cleared, everything will be peaceful."
