Above the Great Dao

Chapter 1254 587: Demon Blood Treasure Tree

The Emperor of Heaven, King Li, and others saw Chen Shi look up and glance at them, each slightly bowing their heads, but then their gaze fell back on Chen Shi's Primordial Spirit.

Chen Shi's Primordial Spirit swept around once, finding nothing unusual, so he didn't think much of it.

At first, he found the feeling of being watched quite awkward, but gradually he got used to it.

"The spiritual energy here is abundant, truly worthy of the Earth Immortal Realm, any random place is not inferior to the Heavenly Court."

He carefully sensed the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and was extremely satisfied in his heart, softly saying, "Immortal Dao, Immortal Dao, Harmonization with Heaven and Earth, is this the Immortal Dao? I do not think so. There are so many Great Daos of Heaven and Earth, and thousands of Human Daos, how can one possibly cultivate them all? If heaven and earth were to decay, how could the Dao Realm of Harmonization with Heaven and Earth exist?"

He walked within his own Dao Realm, his eyes flickering, and said, "But if the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth comes to harmonize with me, I can also achieve the Immortal Dao, living forever. Even if the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth decays, I can use my Dao to repair the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. Where then is the decay in that?"

Outside, the Emperor of Heaven, King Li, and others heard this and were all moved.

The Emperor of Heaven said, "This child is unlike other immortals!"

King Li nodded slightly and said, "An extraordinary insight, sure to achieve great things. Another great master is about to emerge in the Immortal Dao."

"It may not be a blessing for the Divine Dao," a faint voice came from afar.

Upon hearing this, King Li and the others felt a chill in their hearts.

Currently, there is a growing trend of escalating conflicts between immortals and gods. The Heavenly Court holds the treasures of the Heavenly Dao, controlling the ascension of all immortals, and once in the Heavenly Court, without connections, one has to serve hard labor.

There are other conflicts between the deities and immortals, such as the Heavenly Court being controlled by deities whose power exceeds that of immortals. Immortals are free-spirited and do not adhere to the rules set by deities.

Since the fall of the Great Shang, over three hundred thousand years have passed, and during these years, the conflicts between both sides have deepened with an escalating trend.

Many powerful and extraordinary deities in the Heavenly Court have long noticed this and have detected an undercurrent among the immortals, plotting against the Heavenly Court.

When they saw Chen Shi's actions, they couldn't help but feel a strong sense of crisis.

In recent years, the number of masters in the Immortal Dao has been increasing, with a trend threatening to surpass the Heavenly Court. If Chen Shi were to grow up, he might become a formidable rival to the Heavenly Court.

At this moment, a deep and resonant voice came, "Where there is danger, there is a dwelling of fortune; where there is fortune, danger lurks."

The Emperor of Heaven and the others shuddered, pondering the meaning of these words without continuing the conversation.

Chen Shi arrived outside the valley, in front of the Abnormal Point of the Great Path, where the demon qi was still extremely dense and intense, constantly rising, seemingly trying to seize control. However, when the demon qi came outside and encountered Chen Shi's Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, it was assimilated, unable to form an effective attack.

"The Abnormal Point of the Great Path doesn't seem as severe as King Li mentioned."

Chen Shi's Primordial Spirit observed for a moment, softly saying, "Could it be that King Li is exaggerating? Perhaps it's because King Li is too weak; he leads heavenly soldiers into battle, often being devoured by demon kings or the like, ten thousand heavenly soldiers and generals at a time."

Outside, King Li's face turned red, gripping tightly onto the Exquisite Golden Treasure Tower, restraining the urge to throw the tower down to crush this fellow.

At this moment, the Dao Realm split open, and Chen Shi's True Body walked in, his Primordial Spirit rising to merge with his True Body.

Chen Shi went directly to the Abnormal Point of the Great Path, sat down outside the valley with closed eyes, and concentrated, as if sensing carefully.

King Li, the Emperor of Heaven, and others observed for a long while, only to see that Chen Shi remained sitting there motionless.

Some ancient deities could not sit still, immediately rising and quietly leaving.

In half a day's time, more than half of the deities had left.

After a long while, Chen Shi finally stood up, only hesitating slightly before actually walking into the valley!

A series of gasps came from outside, and King Li was also taken aback, exclaiming in shock, "Foolish! Why did he go in?"

He had originally intended to leave since immortals often go into seclusion for over ten years, sometimes even a hundred. Chen Shi, with the appearance of going into seclusion here, caused him to also be negligent.

Who would have thought that Chen Shi would come out after only half a day in seclusion and enter the Abnormal Point of the Great Path!

The Abnormal Point of the Great Path is extremely dangerous, the source of the abnormal great path.

Others, whether immortals or deities, upon entering, either lose their minds or die, quite ominous!

Chen Shi brashly walked into the Abnormal Point of the Great Path, undoubtedly courting death!

As soon as Chen Shi entered the valley, he immediately felt the invasion of the Demon Path, impacting his Dao Heart, attempting to alter his Dao, which he couldn't resist!

Chen Shi instantly transformed his Dao Field, switching smoothly from Yin Yang Mixed Yuan to Demon Path Mixed Yuan.

In an instant, he merged with the world, and his aura became consistent with the Demon Path of the Abnormal Great Path.

The intense aggressiveness in the Abnormal Point of the Great Path disappeared entirely, and Chen Shi walked through the valley like a fish in water.

He walked in this dark world, looking around, only to see that under the invasion of demon qi and the Demon Path, the plants in the valley were dead, devoid of any life.

The air was filled with the breath of death, and the demonic nature was extremely strong. If not for his high cultivation in the Demon Path, he would likely have been affected.

Chen Shi walked for a long time until he finally found an ancient well at the bottom of the valley.

The surroundings of the ancient well were empty, a flat and even terrain.

The demon qi and Demon Path that affected the outside world overflowed from the well.

Chen Shi came to the edge of the well, looked down, and saw a depth of about one zhang, with the well water clearly visible.

In the middle of the well water, there seemed to be a piece of earth and stone, like an isle within the well, and a tree appeared to be growing on the island.

Chen Shi rubbed his eyes and looked closely. It was indeed a tree, but the water in the well was only four feet square, and the island in the well was only the size of a fist, making the tree appear even smaller.

He looked with increasing attention, and suddenly the world spun, and the next moment, he found himself unknowingly lying beneath the large tree.

The tree stood about sixteen or seventeen feet high, with a crown two yards in circumference, like it was growing on a massive mountain peak.

Chen Shi looked up, only to see that the well opening had turned into a vast sky.

He seemed to have shrunk countless times, with the vast and expansive world stretching around him, the ocean wide and boundless, as far as the eye could see.

"Is this tree the Abnormal Point of the Great Path?"

Chen Shi was slightly astonished, walking around the ancient tree and examining it closely.

This was a blood tree, its trunk and body blood-red, as if born from soaking in fresh blood.

He had worked for Lady Houtu, handling hundreds of Earth Treasure Spirit Roots, and he could tell this ancient tree was indeed an Earth Treasure Spirit Root!

But why would an Earth Treasure Spirit Root become an Abnormal Point of the Great Path?

Why would such a peculiar thing grow in the Dao Ruins?

"This place is suitable for comprehending the Demon Path." He thought to himself.

Chen Shi explored for a while and found nothing else, so he sat under the tree, silently operating the Profound Yin Nine Heavens Technique, attempting to Harmonize Heaven and Earth with it.

The space within the well was exceedingly vast, and his Harmonization was smoother this time, quickly merging his own Great Path with the space inside the well.

Chen Shi sat in silent meditation under the Demon Blood Tree for a long time before standing up.

During this period, his Demon Path Cultivation had significantly improved!

"I've obtained the Dao Ruins, imprinted my Yin Yang Eight Wilderness Path, entered the well, and imprinted the Demon Path. Now I truly achieved Harmonization and Immortality!"

Chen Shi was overjoyed, "Now, I have two Harmonization Lands, no, three! With three burrows like a clever rabbit, even if others find my other two Dao Realms, I can hide in the third one!"

There is no Demon Path in the Earth Immortal Realm, so even if one cultivates the Demon Path, there's no place to Harmonize with a Demon Path World.

Unless, like the Master of Great Wilderness Ming Dao Collection, one uses Primordial Worm pollution to transform a world like West Bull New Continent into a Demon Path World, thus Harmonizing and elevating the Demon Path to the Immortal Realm.

Chen Shi finding the space within the well is equivalent to discovering a small Demon Path World!

"The Demon Path World in the well should have been formed by this Demon Blood Treasure Tree,"

Chen Shi examined the Demon Blood Treasure Tree, feeling a stir in his heart. The Abnormal Point of the Great Path centered on the valley, constantly attempting to expand outward. Does this mean the Demon Blood Treasure Tree is still growing?

In other words, the space of the Demon Blood Treasure Tree has not yet grown to its maximum.

If the Demon Blood Treasure Tree can continue growing, then he need not worry about his Demon Path cultivation!

"King Li has indeed done me a favor!"

He felt grateful as he flew out of the well.

After a moment, he walked out of the valley.

King Li and the Emperor of Heaven, along with others, were surprised to see him come out alive from the Abnormal Point of the Great Path, exchanging silent glances. The Emperor of Heaven said, "King, you understand the Abnormal Point of the Way best. Is this valley truly an Abnormal Point?"

"Without a doubt." King Li said solemnly.

The Emperor of Heaven said, "Then why did Chen Shi enter it without being assimilated or losing his mind?"

King Li was also baffled.

He had been overseeing the Heavenly Soldiers for over three hundred thousand years, responsible for suppressing disturbances in the Dao Ruins for more than a hundred thousand years, encountering hundreds of Abnormal Points of the Great Path, but had never encountered such a situation.

Just then, the demonic energy and demonic nature in the valley abruptly contracted, and soon the demonic energy enveloping the valley disappeared without a trace.

Everyone watched, shocked once more.

The Abnormal Point of the Great Path, disappeared?

"The Abnormal Point hasn't disappeared."

The Emperor of Heaven observed closely, his expression grave, and said solemnly, "I sense that the aura of the Demon Path is still there, deeply hidden in the valley, gradually growing stronger. It hasn't disappeared; it has an owner now, much like this Dao Realm is hidden by its master. Who is its master?"

King Li's eyes flashed, "Just now, aside from Chen Shi, no one else entered the valley."

"Then it must be Chen Shi!"

The Emperor of Heaven said, "There is surely something peculiar about Chen Shi! To refine an Abnormal Point of the Great Path and make it serve him, this person might be a Great Demon! King Li, he's one of your Heavenly Soldiers, you must be cautious."

King Li exhaled slowly, "Although he's my Heavenly Soldier, he is also someone that the one in the palace personally inquired about. I can't interrogate him directly."

The Emperor of Heaven said, "But you have various means to make him display his true abilities and reveal his identity. I imagine the one in the palace wouldn't want the person they fancy to be a Great Demon."

King Li's eyes flashed as he turned to leave, "Rest assured, I have my methods. If he is a demon, he will definitely show his hand!"

The Emperor of Heaven rose as well, several Immortal Officials holding up canopies, leaving with him.

In the Dao Realm, Chen Shi looked out towards the sky, puzzled, noticing that the feeling of being watched intensely by many had vanished.
