Above the Great Dao

Chapter 1249 585: Dao Ruins Landlord

Upon hearing this, Chen Shi thought to himself, "Could King Li really be afraid of that presence within the palace? Is the presence within the palace, perhaps, Lady Houtu?"

The place where Lady Houtu resides is called the Palace of Vast Virtue and Radiance, which should be considered part of the palace.

"Your Highness, please forgive me. I have only just achieved Harmonization, and my realm is not yet stable."

Chen Shi politely declined, saying, "It is currently unsuitable to change the Harmonization Land."

King Li glanced at him and laughed, "Chen Immortal, you are still in the Heavenly Immortal Realm, aren't you? The Heavenly Immortal Realm harmonizes for ten thousand miles. The True Immortal Realm cultivates the great world of Dao Realm, and in the First Layers of Heaven, it harmonizes for a hundred thousand miles. When you're in the Heavenly Immortal Realm, you harmonize in the Western Heaven Swing. When you achieve True Immortal, where will you go to harmonize?"

Chen Shi cautiously replied, "Naturally, I will continue to harmonize in the Western Heaven Swing."

King Li shook his head and said, "Last time you harmonized and became immortal in the Western Heaven Swing, occupying ten thousand miles, you weren't immediately put to death, which was already a mercy outside the law. If you harmonize for a hundred thousand miles in the Western Heaven Swing, you will certainly have to take a walk on the Immortal Slaying Stage."

He changed his tone, gently persuading, "Even if I let you harmonize as a True Immortal in the Western Heaven Swing, what about when you reach Golden Immortal? Will you also harmonize there?"

Chen Shi showed a look of anticipation.

King Li suppressed his impulse to send him to the Immortal Slaying Stage, and earnestly advised, "The territory of the Western Heaven Swing is enough for Golden Immortal harmonization. But as you advance to Taiyi Golden Immortal, where will you go to harmonize? Then, even the entire Western Heaven Swing will not suffice for your harmonization! If you expand further outward, you'll reach the West Heaven Gate! Are you expecting the Jade Emperor to allocate a place for you?"

Chen Shi hesitated, "I fear the Jade Emperor might not agree..."

King Li laughed in exasperation, "Do you really plan to have the Jade Emperor allocate a place? How many heads do you have? If you give up this piece of Harmonization Land, I won't let you suffer a loss; I'll provide you with another treasure land. You harmonized ten thousand miles in the Western Heaven Swing, but I can offer you ten times the compensation! A hundred thousand miles of Harmonization Land will be enough for you to achieve True Immortal."

Chen Shi hesitated, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kind offer. I have just achieved Harmonization and don't know how long it will be before I have the hope of achieving True Immortal, let alone dare to aspire for Golden Immortal or Taiyi Golden Immortal. Retaining this piece of Harmonization Land in the Western Heaven Swing will suffice."

He had already made up his mind.

Achieving Harmonization in the Heavenly Court, speaking of this, would be prestigious, unmatched in the world.

Moreover, harmonizing in the Heavenly Court has many advantages. Firstly, the abundant Dao Power enhances the Immortal's strength significantly. Secondly, since it's the Heavenly Court, even if others wish to disrupt his Dao Realm, they wouldn't know how to proceed unless they attacked the Heavenly Court.

Not just offering a True Immortal Harmonization Land, even if it was a Golden Immortal Harmonization Land, Chen Shi might not be willing to exchange!

King Li remained silent for a moment and said, "Indeed, the True Immortal Harmonization Land is a bit small. You'll have to seek a Golden Immortal Harmonization Land after achieving True Immortal. How about this, I have a great place, also within the Earth Immortal Realm, abundant with spiritual energy, rich treasures, extending for a million miles. Harmonizing there will be enough for you to cultivate to Taiyi Golden Immortal, freeing you from worrying about Harmonization Land ever again."

His previous offer did not move Chen Shi, but this time the condition made Chen Shi intrigued.

"This place is called Dao Ruins."

King Li spoke warmly, "If you're willing, I would use Dao Ruins to exchange for this ten thousand miles of Western Heaven Swing... You all, come, prepare the document for Chen Immortal!"

Two Heavenly Gods approached, one on the left and one on the right, sandwiching Chen Shi in the middle.

Chen Shi smiled, "Your Highness, regarding the palace..."

King Li instructed the scribe to draft the contract, using the Dao Ruins' contract to exchange for Chen Shi's Dao Realm in the Western Heaven Swing. His expression became even more amiable, smiling, "I have no fear of the presence within the palace. I simply wish to avoid trouble. Today, whether Chen Immortal wishes to sign or not, he will sign. As long as we don't go as far as killing Chen Immortal, the presence within the palace wouldn't want to turn against me over this minor matter."

The scribe completed the contract, and one Heavenly God grasped Chen Shi's hand, intending to have him sign.

Chen Shi hurriedly said, "I can write myself!"

But the Heavenly God had already completed the signature by holding his hand.

Chen Shi rubbed his wrist, and King Li had already taken the contract, dried the ink, and was very satisfied, "Now the Western Heaven Swing is finally complete... You all, take Chen Immortal to the Dao Ruins for Harmonization!"

The two Heavenly Gods lifted Chen Shi, ready to fly away. King Li instructed, "Use my carriage for the journey, ensure nothing goes wrong. Once you're done harmonizing, return safely without dying there."

Chen Shi felt a jolt in his heart and quickly asked, "Your Highness, is Dao Ruins dangerous?"

"Not dangerous, not at all dangerous... Bring my Golden Mace with you. If you encounter danger, use it to ensure your lives!"

King Li fetched the Golden Mace, taller than Chen Shi, stuffed it into Chen Shi's arms, urging, "The carriage has arrived, hurry and go, then return quickly."

Before Chen Shi could speak, he saw fire clouds rolling in. Upon these fire clouds, banners fluttered, and among them was a Treasure Chariot adorned with various flags. The fire clouds were manifestations from its mount, Bi Fang.

Two Heavenly Gods lifted Chen Shi, flew up, and tucked him into the Treasure Chariot, and the six Bi Fang promptly flapped their wings, pulling the Treasure Chariot swiftly away.

The two Heavenly Gods sat at the front of the chariot, one left and one right, lest Chen Shi escape.

This Bi Fang chariot quickly departed the Western Heaven Swing, coursing down the Heavenly River, flying far away.

King Li watched the Bi Fang chariot fade into the distance, discreetly breathed a sigh of relief, and murmured, "Finally sent away this hot potato. Every year, for this Dao Ruins, many Heavenly Soldiers and Generals perish, and now it's no longer my problem... Why does the presence within the palace find favor with this newly ascended Little Immortal?"

He couldn't fathom the reason.
