Above the Great Dao

Chapter 1277 599: Senior Brother from Golden Turtle Island (Part 2)

The Black Pot horizontally blocked in front of him, the Circulation Fire Realm arose, urging the Heaven Measuring Iron Ruler, greeting the red sword light.

"Clang!"

The red sword light struck the Heaven Measuring Iron Ruler, which instantaneously became enormously large, spanning between heaven and earth, reaching a width of hundreds of miles.

The body of the Black Pot also became indescribably tall, head above the heavens, feet firmly on the ground, waist wrapped in clouds, yet its might was repelled by the sword, causing both it and the Heaven Measuring Iron Ruler to slide backward!

At this moment, Chen Shi had already withdrawn two streams of Sword Qi, intending to activate the eighth move of the Primordial Sword Scripture, Heavenly Net Break.

Heavenly Net Break was the strongest move he currently mastered; the ninth move, Hongmeng Division, he had not yet grasped.

Simultaneously, his palm turned, and two Fuluo Village Spirit Pills appeared in his palm. With a flick of his finger, a spirit pill flew towards the Black Pot, which caught it.

The Black Pot's form shrank, restoring to its original state, while its other hand held the Heaven Measuring Iron Ruler, which also shrunk with it, feeling somewhat pricked by the iron rod.

It looked down, only to see a sword mark on the Heaven Measuring Iron Ruler, stabbed by that red sword light!

This situation, neither Chen Shi nor the Black Pot had encountered before.

The Heaven Measuring Iron Ruler was a magical treasure forged by Immortals during the Great Shang Era of the West Bull New Continent. When the Great Shang Era perished, this treasure still had not been refined, but sixteen thousand years later, it was finally completed.

Since its completion, the Heaven Measuring Iron Ruler has rarely met its match. It's not the most powerful Immortal Artifact in the West Bull New Continent, nor the most profound Daoist Skill, yet it is undoubtedly the hardest and heaviest Immortal Artifact!

Now, the Heaven Measuring Iron Ruler had encountered a red sword light, and it was damaged.

"Primordial Sword Scripture!"

A voice sounded, "You are indeed a disciple of Golden Turtle Island! Junior Brother, Jiang Guo greets you."

Just as Chen Shi was about to take the Fuluo Village Spirit Pill, he stopped upon hearing the words and looked in the direction of the voice, seeing a young man dressed in plain clothes, wearing straw shoes, with a willow wood hairpin on his head approaching, appearing to be the young man from Golden Turtle Island, Jiang Guo.

This person's clothes looked very old, likely washed many times, with the collar and sleeves showing signs of wear. On his feet were straw shoes, showing a toe on one side and two toes on the other.

The red sword light that had attacked them earlier was a peach wood sword, made blood-red due to years of sacrificial refinement.

The peach wood sword, only three inches long, flew back and hung on his waist's Jade Pendant, which was of ordinary jade, not valuable, with mediocre carving depicting a tiger head.

The Black Pot stared at his wooden sword, feeling incredulous that such a small peach wood sword had actually injured the Heaven Measuring Iron Ruler; it was truly baffling.

What shocked Chen Shi was another matter: "I am his junior brother? How come I didn't know?"

"Junior Brother, you used the Purple Heaven Vine to suppress Yi'an Shouchao's Dao Realm, preventing him from mobilizing the power of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao and borrowing the Divine Power of the Thunder Department Gods to slay him in one move. Truly a remarkable method."

Jiang Guo stepped closer, his gaze lighting up, saying, "However, you violated the Heavenly Code by rashly executing a Heavenly Court official, which is a capital offense. You're bold!"

Chen Shi, alert, asked, "Is Senior Brother going to report me?"

His thoughts stirred, activating Dao Ruins Dao Realm, Well Dao Realm, and the power of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao of the West Bull New Continent!

Jiang Guo's cultivation and strength were simply too formidable, forcing him to be cautious. Just now, the might of that sword disrupted the Primordial Sword Scripture, compelling him to consider using the Fuluo Village Spirit Pill to enhance his aptitude and comprehension to confidently face Jiang Guo.

The Black Pot also grew tense; as soon as Chen Shi gave the word, it would immediately consume the spirit pill, and with transcendent wisdom, team up with Chen Shi to resist Jiang Guo together!

Jiang Guo seemed unaware of their hostility, slightly smiling, saying: "Report? You and I are fellow disciples; why should I report you? The Heavenly Dao is worthless, the Heavenly Code is leaky, the Heavenly Guidelines and Heavenly Regulations are practically non-existent, and the Great Heavenly Venerate of the Heavenly Court is even more foolish and incompetent. Should I report my fellow brother for a mere reward from the Heavenly Court?"

"Fellow brother?"

Chen Shi grew more confused, tentatively asking, "Jiang Dao Brother, are you mistaking me for someone else? To be honest, I just ascended to the Heavenly Court from the Lower Realm not long ago and have never been to Golden Turtle Island."

Jiang Guo smiled slightly, saying: "The Heavenly Net Blood Transformation Divine Sword you use is indeed the exclusive skill of Golden Turtle Island."

Chen Shi suddenly understood, laughing, saying: "Jiang Brother truly misunderstands. In the Lower Realm, I inadvertently obtained the Heavenly Net Blood Transformation Divine Sword and also acquired the Blood Lake Scripture, from which I gained insight into its Sword Technique. I truly am not a disciple of Golden Turtle Island."

"No. You are."

Jiang Guo earnestly said, "The Heavenly Net Blood Transformation Divine Sword is the Divine of Golden Turtle Island, deliberately left in the Ancestral Land Divine Continent, hoping one day to find an outstanding inheritor. You are indeed a disciple of Golden Turtle Island, and a fourth-generation disciple with a very high rank!"

Chen Shi felt puzzled, the Heavenly Net Blood Transformation Divine Sword had come from the Ancestral Land Divine Continent to the West Bull New Continent, could these truly be Golden Turtle Island's arrangements?

If the Blood Transformation Divine Saber were like this, what about the Flask of Yin and Yang Essence?

Furthermore, could the Qiankun Rebuilding Furnace also be the scheme of strong figures from the Earth Immortal Realm?

"Zhong Wuwang has been away from the West Bull New Continent for a long time now; could he have been captured by the owner of the Flask of Yin and Yang Essence? Grandpa and the others should also have arrived in the Earth Immortal Realm long ago, and there's been no news; could they have been captured by the owner of Qiankun Rebuilding Furnace?"

He was unsettled, continuously feeling a tinge of conspiracy in this place.

Especially concerning Golden Turtle Island, this Jiang Guo from Golden Turtle Island kept warmly calling him Junior Brother, almost excessively enthusiastic!

Jiang Guo asked: "Junior Brother, how should you be addressed?"

"Chen Shi."

Jiang Guo smiled, saying: "Junior Brother Chen, the Dao skills of our lineage from Golden Turtle Island are unfathomable. The Primordial Sword Scripture you just showcased was already quite strong, but still couldn't compare to my sword skill earlier. That Swordsmanship is indeed our Golden Turtle Island's heritage."

Chen Shi admired his earlier move, saying: "Perhaps only the ninth move of the Primordial Sword Scripture could rival your technique, but I can't perform the ninth move."

Jiang Guo laughed, saying: "Though the Primordial Sword Scripture is not bad, even its ninth form cannot match our Golden Turtle Island's heritage. I ventured out to comprehend the breakthrough skill and achieve True Immortal Realm, temporarily unable to bring you back to Golden Turtle Island."

After pondering, he continued: "I am not far from True Immortal Realm and expect to achieve it within a few months. How about accompanying me to the Heavenly Court, and once I breakthrough, we immediately set off for Golden Turtle Island?"

Chen Shi hesitated.

Seeing his concerns, Jiang Guo understood, smiling: "The Heavenly Net Blood Transformation Divine Sword is merely an end-level skill of Golden Turtle Island. With your intellectual capability, Junior Brother, you will surely decipher even better skills!"

Chen Shi was quite moved and agreed in the end.

Jiang Guo breathed a sigh of relief, saying: "The Thunder Mystery Province is quite far from the Heavenly Court, we must depart immediately and cannot delay. Once in the Heavenly Court, we can visit the Immortal Slaying Stage to see Chu Xiangxiu's head being executed."

Chen Shi suggested: "Let's take a ferry from Heavenly River Crossing; we'll quickly reach the Heavenly Court."

Jiang Guo chuckled: "Reading books and exploring the world on foot. Traveling by Heavenly Ship is inferior to walking. We should hike all the way, appreciating the earthly and natural beauty and stopping at the Immortal Mountains offered by various provinces for temporary stays, free of charge. Immortals can recuperate there and restore Primordial Qi."

Chen Shi eyed him up and down, praising: "Senior Brother has a noble character... Senior Brother, are you lacking funds for the trip?"

Jiang Guo, somewhat embarrassed, rubbed his toes against his worn straw shoes, awkwardly admitting: "It's not a matter of having no money; it's not necessary to carry much when venturing out, or how could it be considered training?"

"Being a Heavenly Soldier, traveling costs me nothing. Now that the Heavenly Court's monthly salary has been issued, with nowhere to spend, I can instead cover our boat fare, Senior Brother."

Chen Shi said, "Senior Brother, shall we take the ship to the Heavenly Court together?"

"Alright!"

Jiang Guo readily agreed.

As they arrived at Heavenly River Crossing, the boatman verified Chen Shi and Black Pot's Heavenly Soldier Tokens, allowing them to board the Star Shuttle. Upon seeing Jiang Guo also attempt to board, they scrutinized him and stopped him: "You cannot board!"

Jiang Guo stood beside the Star Shuttle, toes rubbing his straw shoes, as Chen Shi quickly paid the fare, and only then did the boatman allow him to get on the Star Shuttle.

He sat at the edge of the boat, a bit restrained, shyly asking: "Junior Brother, how much is the monthly salary for the Heavenly Soldier Camp? I run errands to repay you once I earn."
