Above the Great Dao

Chapter 1291 607: Tianzhu Shattered (Part 2)

He tossed aside a scroll of Mixed Yuan Dao Scripture and Mixed Yuan Sword Scripture, saying, "You should start cultivating this first. This is the stepping stone to our sect, and only after you achieve a little can you become a disciple of Golden Turtle Island."

Chu Feng was without the Blood Transformation Divine Saber in hand and felt a void, yet a great weight was lifted from his shoulders. Reflecting on his actions over the past few years, he could not help but feel uneasy.

Luckily, the Blood Transformation Divine Saber knew Chen Shi's prowess; though it had transformed him, it dared not commit evil, thus avoiding a great catastrophe.

With the saber in hand, Chen Shi immediately suppressed the demonic nature of the Blood Transformation Divine Saber. Though its demonic nature was strong, it paled significantly in comparison to him.

At the moment of holding this saber, Chen Shi felt the sword energy and intent filled his chest, akin to strong wine brewing in his core, growing increasingly rich.

He soared into the air with the long blade in hand, casually performing swordplay in the air, using the sky as the ground, unleashing the most fundamental sword forms.

With cleave, chop, sweep, cut, pick, intercept, push, thrust, slide, swirl, dash, dot—each move and style was executed with utmost clarity, steps fierce yet agile, akin to a grand martial artist.

Suddenly, his sword technique shifted to the Heavenly Net Seven Forms.

Star Fire, Tidal Wave, Rainbow Transformation, Tsunami, Flower Sea, Sun Shining Thousand Rivers, One Spiral Indigo. Each move was more formidable than the last, each more profoundly artistic!

When he executed One Spiral Indigo, the sword technique was naturally harmonious, the sword light reminiscent of the moon, the sword momentum akin to a woman's indigo hair—tender and exquisite. From fierce to delicate, the sword technique was manifestly splendid, yet still seemed unfinished.

Letting out a long howl, Chen Shi refined the first Taoist Principle into the Blood Transformation Divine Saber, and the sword technique evolved suddenly at its peak.

From the touching, delicate emotion of One Spiral Indigo now transformed into the majestic calamity of Gonggong's defeat, crashing headlong into Buzhou Mountain, Tianzhu crumbling, earth veins fracturing, sun and moon dimming, black rabbit depleting!

As he swung the saber, the sky was riddled with cracks as if a glazed mirror shattered to the extreme!

Chen Shi wielded the sword light freely, repeatedly refining the Eighth Form until this form gradually perfected.

The sword technique hidden within the Heavenly Net Blood Transformation Divine Sword originally comprised only seven forms; even its owner had not created an eighth form, but now this Eighth Form emerged from his mastery.

The brilliance of this move embodies Gonggong ramming into Buzhou Mountain, possessing an unstoppable momentum unimaginable to describe, as if reliving the epoch of heavens crashing.

After a long while, Chen Shi sheathed the saber, and the sky's fractures faded away.

"This move shall be named Tianzhu Collapse!"

Carrying the saber, Chen Shi left, returning to the Mortal World, back to Qianyang Mountain.

He rarely returned, yet had not made the chance to visit the elders at his hometown.

Qianyang Mountain has always been a Holy Land, with the Fusang Tree at its forefront, planting hundreds of Earth Treasure Spirit Roots, truly blessed with abundant treasures and outstanding talents.

Chen Shi visited the Qianyang Mountain Lord, Great Snake Xuan Shan, and other old acquaintances, then returned to Huangpo Village to meet the villagers.

The elders in the village were happy to see him, reminiscing that Little Ten had returned. Though Chen Shi had become True King and Immortal outside, in this small mountain village, he was still the village's Little Ten.

Yet there were a few unfamiliar faces in the village now, they were children, likely born to the village's young married couples, looking at him with slight timidity.

Chen Shi brought fish and meat for the villagers, distributed to each household, but did not see Granny Wu Zhu.

"Wu Zhu? She's gone." Granny Yu Zhu said.

Chen Shi was stunned: "Gone? Where did she go?"

"Where else could she go? She's dead. After you left, she came alive one day, saying her husband visited her in a dream last night, saying he missed her. Her husband is Jiang Tong, he's been dead for many years."

Granny Yu Zhu babbled on, she was getting old too, saying, "That day Wu Zhu took out the shroud she made long ago, put it on, tidied herself, keeping herself clean. That very night, she left. Probably went to find Jiang Tong."

Chen Shi was silent, feeling somewhat sad.

After leaving Huangpo Village, his emotions were slow to settle, so he went to the Immortal City in the underworld and found his grandfather's Yuan Chen Palace.

He remembered that Jiang Tong's Yuan Chen Palace was nearby.

Chen Shi searched for a while and soon found Jiang Tong's Yuan Chen Palace. He was about to approach but saw that old fellow Jiang Tong who had once visited him, now sitting at the doorsteps of Yuan Chen Palace, with Granny Wu Zhu beside him.

The two snuggled together, holding hands, watching the bustling Immortal City outside.

The bustling seemed irrelevant to them, they were serene and contented.

Chen Shi was stunned, his sadness gradually dissipating, without disturbing them, quietly left.

He returned to the Mortal World, his mood gradually brightened, chatted with Hu Feifei for a while, learned about the politics and daily life in West Bull New Continent, then quietly left, returning to the Heavenly Court.

Returning to the Heavenly Court was much easier.

West Bull New Continent is his Dao Realm, returning to West Bull New Continent is returning to the Dao Realm, to come out, simply retrace the original path back to the Heavenly Court.

West Bull New Continent is within the Dark Sea, the Heavenly Court in the Earth Immortal Realm. Though the distance between them is immensely far, at this moment, space seemed to blur, quite peculiar.

Chen Shi always felt that there must be a remarkable Immortal Dao hidden here, yet for the moment, he couldn't fathom its principle.

This journey back to West Bull New Continent provoked deep reflection, especially Granny Wu Zhu's death, which profoundly touched his soul.

"After returning to the Heavenly Court this time, there are many things to do, but the most important one is to visit Emperor Houtu in the Xuanhuang Sea, Thick Virtue and Bright Heaven Palace."

Chen Shi thought to himself, "Another matter is to accompany Brother Jiang to Golden Turtle Island and formally become a disciple of the Master Lineage!"

Thinking of this, he had already emerged from West Bull New Continent, as his step landed he returned to his Heavenly Dao Residence.

Before he could place his other foot down, he heard a pitiful voice, "Mr. Chen!"

Chen Shi followed the sound and saw that at some point a little Daoist boy had appeared in the Heavenly Dao Residence, it was the same boy who had saved him from the Heavenly Prison later they had seen each other in the palace of East King.

Chen Shi laughed, "How come Brother showed up?"

He also noticed that Zhong Lin was nearby, slightly taken aback.

The Daoist boy quickly said, "I dare not be called Brother. If Mr. Chen doesn't mind, you may call me Jing Shu."

Jing Shu Daoist paused, and said, "I was ordered by the Master to come see you, the Master wanted me to convey a few words to you."

Clearing his throat, his expression turned solemn, his voice roughening, mimicking the tone of East King, "Chen Shi, you cultivate Outer Dao, you should find a secluded place to cultivate. If you cultivate in the Heavenly Court, do you think you can rival the Jade Emperor or the Four Imperial Lords?"

Chen Shi's mouth twitched.

Zhong Lin was dumbfounded.

Jing Shu Daoist continued, "Being your backing is fraught with difficulty, I suspect being your backing means I will eventually be scared to death by you. If you could calm down, I might live a few more years. Tell him, be honest!"

The last part had a note of fluster. It seems it was said to Jing Shu Daoist, and he learned it too.

Chen Shi humbly replied, "Brother Jing Shu, rest assured, I will speak cautiously and never cause trouble for East King."

Jing Shu Daoist said, "The Master is not afraid of you causing trouble; even if an enormous crisis occurs, you're welcome to cause it, the Master can resolve it and keep you safe. But causing Great Dao Contamination in Heavenly Court and pulling the Dark Sea over, I think you're the South Pole Emperor committing suicide, no desire for longevity!"

Chen Shi inquired, "Are these words the Master said as well?"

Jing Shu Daoist shook his head, blushing, "These words I made up, please don't take offense, Mr. Chen."
