Above the Great Dao

Chapter 1259 590: Mud Bodhisattva Incident_2

The Heavenly General sneered, "The starlight beyond the shuttle is the Mystic Sky Aurora. Not to mention ordinary Immortal Magical Treasures, even Golden Immortal Treasures cannot withstand it! How dare you think you can collect the Mystic Sky Aurora? Stop daydreaming!"

"How can his gourd collect it?" Everyone pointed at Chen Shi.

Chen Shi continued to raise the Purple Heaven Gourd to collect the Mystic Sky Aurora. After a long while, it was still not full.

The Heavenly General was also a bit hesitant, thinking to himself, "The gourd in his hand, could it be a treasure of the Taiyi Golden Immortal? It doesn't have any powerful Dao Pattern, yet it doesn't seem like it."

Zhong Lin watched, thinking, "The Purple Heaven Immortal Monarch lost the gourd formed by the Purple Heaven Vine, could it be somewhat similar to this one? Could Mr. Chen and Black really be the notorious ones on the Immortal Slaying List?"

He calmed his mind.

Bai Fangfang said, "Friend Zhong, you are the Heavenly Mechanism Scholar, knowledgeable in heavenly mechanisms. Tell us, is our journey fortuitous or ominous?"

Zhong Lin collected his thoughts, performed a divination, carefully examined it, and said, "The trigram predicts our journey to be very unfavorable. Just like the saying 'The mud bodhisattva crosses the river, unable to protect itself.' Our investigation of the Mud Bodhisattva Incident is full of dangers..."

"Stop spreading fearful rumors!"

General Zhang Xian approached, reproaching, "Friend Zhong, you are the Heavenly Mechanism Scholar, but you are too mystical with your constant calculations. Yet, you didn't foresee that even the Heavenly Mechanism Strategy could be destroyed! Let alone your tricks?"

Zhong Lin said, "The Thunder Department is strong with countless Heavenly Soldiers. The head of the Thunder Mystery Province is the Old Immortal from the Left Palace of Jade Capital, Heavenly Master Ge Hong. He is a Heavenly Master from the Ancestral Land, how formidable! With him around, why would they need us to investigate the Mud Bodhisattva Incident? Evidently, we are sent to our deaths."

Zhang Xian glared at him, but knowing the Heavenly Mechanism Scholar often possessed unusual skills, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

"Could it be that last time's matter was not clean, and the higher-ups suspect us, hence deliberately sending us away to die?" he pondered inwardly.

Chen Shi finally filled the Purple Heaven Gourd. Although it contained the Mystic Sky Aurora, which seemed weightless, it became surprisingly heavy when too much was collected.

The Mystic Sky Aurora overflowed from the gourd's mouth. Chen Shi resisted the urge to glance over. The Mystic Sky Aurora was extremely powerful; just a glance could blind him, and his head might end up with a see-through hole.

"The Mystic Sky Aurora can be used to refine Mystic Sky Sword Qi."

He pondered, "The Mixed Yuan Sword Qi within the sword box given by the Heavenly Court is decent but merely adequate. If I refine the Mystic Sky Aurora from the Purple Heaven Gourd into Sword Qi, its power would definitely surpass the sword box!"

He sat down, raised the gourd, floating in front of him, activated the Mixed Yuan Sword Scripture, continuously embedding the Dao Pattern of the sword scripture into the gourd, attempting to condense the Mystic Sky Sword Qi.

His proficiency in the Mixed Yuan Sword Scripture was exceptionally high, ranking among the top in the Earth Immortal Realm. In just a moment, Chen Shi noticed that under the enhancement of his sword scripture's Dao Pattern, the Mystic Sky Aurora gradually condensed, causing him to feel delighted.

Unknowingly, the Star Shuttle reached the Thunder Mystery Province, gradually slowed down, and stopped inside a Star Gate.

Chen Shi had already refined a strand of Mystic Sky Sword Qi, but the sword qi was still rough, not very sharp, resembling more like a club.

To refine the sword qi to be invincible, he needed to prepare several strands of sword qi in the gourd; only then could they temper each other and the sharpness would gradually enhance.

"At least two strands of sword qi are needed, one yin and one yang."

Chen Shi carefully sensed, finding that there was still plenty of Mystic Sky Aurora left in the gourd, enough to refine another strand of sword qi, which reassured him.

The light inside the Star Gate gradually faded.

Some soldiers approached, hooked the Star Shuttle, and docked it at the shore.

The group flew off the shuttle, and Thunder Department soldiers came forward, asking, "Are you from the Chen Institute of Geng Guard, Chen Institute, Fire Camp?"

Zhang Xian stepped forward, replying, "Indeed. I am Zhang Xian, the General of the Fire Camp."

He handed over the Commander's Seal.

The Thunder Department soldier took out a Commander's Seal, matched it with Zhang Xian's, confirmed the identity of the visitors, then they both put away their seals. The Thunder Department soldier said, "I am Wu Xie, a Military Officer of the Thunder Mystery Province, here under the command of the God Master of the Profound Province to welcome you."

Zhang Xian thanked him, and inquired, "As immortals visiting this treasured land, we should pay our respects to Heavenly Master Ge."

Thunder Department soldier Wu Xie replied, "Unfortunately, Heavenly Master Ge has been in seclusion for many years practicing Immortal Law. During these years, the God Master has been managing the affairs of the Thunder Mystery Province."

The Thunder Department follows a system of co-governance by Immortal Gods, with some official positions held by immortals, and Heavenly Master Ge holds the position of Heavenly Monarch in the Profound Province.

Chen Shi very much wanted to meet this Heavenly Master from the Ancestral Land. Hearing that Heavenly Monarch Ge was in seclusion, he couldn't help but feel disappointed.

Wu Xie led them away from the ferry, heading to the site of the Mud Bodhisattva Incident, saying, "Everyone, the harm from the Mud Bodhisattva Incident is significant. We utilized the Exorcism Banners crafted by the Lord of Beiji Exorcism Institute, but they had little effect; instead, the banners were contaminated by the Great Dao."

Zhang Xian felt a chill in his heart, "Great Dao Contamination?"

Zhong Lin also couldn't help but get nervous, saying, "Could it be a Great Dao anomaly?"

"It's not that."

Wu Xie shook his head, saying, "If it were a Great Dao anomaly, there would have been heavy casualties by now. The incident doesn't reach the level of a Great Dao anomaly. Though not high in level, it's quite tricky. The Mud Bodhisattva Incident initially occurred in a temple in Feng'an County of the Thunder Mystery Province, where Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva is worshipped. The people of Feng'an County are quite devout Buddhists, having created a Golden Body for the Bodhisattva."

Chen Shi followed them, concentrating on refining the second strand of sword qi along the way.

"The Bodhisattva occasionally descends into the Golden Body, each time causing a great sensation."
