Above the Great Dao

Chapter 1292 608: Master of Making Friends

"The young Daoist boy is not afraid of offending the Emperor of Longevity of the South Pole either."

Chen Shi sent off the Jingshu Taoist, muttering to himself, "But the East King was right to scold me; I've indeed been a bit too frivolous lately. How can I cultivate the Outer Dao in the Heavenly Court? I should be more cautious. If I practice the Outer Dao, I should do so within my own Dao Realm, without disturbing the outside world."

He originally had some understanding of the conflict between the Immortal Dao and Divine Dao in the Earth Immortal Realm, but now he realized that, for them, the Outer Dao is the true abomination, the common enemy.

"Then what about the master of the Great Wilderness Ming Dao Collection who cultivates the Outer Dao?"

Chen Shi pondered deeply; the Great Wilderness Ming Dao Collection includes Immortal Demon Dual Cultivation, and the Demon Path is also considered an Outer Dao. Breeding the Primordial Worm, which is clearly an Outer Dao practice.

Such matters can only be conducted secretly, but it also shows that some immortals, and even divine beings, in the Earth Immortal Realm are not so averse to the Outer Dao and have even begun to contact it, trying to refine the Outer Dao for their own use.

In the Heavenly Court, some ancient beings also have this mindset, which is why they have turned a blind eye to his cultivation of the Outer Dao.

However, if he causes too much commotion and harms too many people irreparably, he would then breach the bottom line of these beings, leading to his execution as a warning to others.

What Chen Shi had done previously could be seen as both significant and insignificant to these ancient beings. As long as it wasn't excessive, it was regarded as an experiment. But for the East King, the pressure was somewhat substantial, forcing him to warn Chen Shi first.

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen."

Zhong Lin's voice awakened him, and Chen Shi, understanding the key to the matter, felt much more at ease and smiled, "What brings Friend Zhong here this time?"

Zhong Lin replied, "With the Dark Sea's invasion of the Heavenly Court this time, I sensed a Heavenly Dao aura similar to yours, which also alarmed the Heavenly Mechanism Camp, prompting them to investigate. Hence, I've come to ask you, where does this Heavenly Dao aura come from?"

Chen Shi did not conceal anything and said, "It's precisely from my birthplace, the West Bull New Continent. The Heavenly Dao aura you previously sensed on me comes from there."

"The West Bull New Continent is hidden within the Dark Sea; no wonder it triggered a dark invasion."

Zhong Lin suddenly understood, then said, "Mr. Chen, you must be cautious of being targeted."

Chen Shi did not understand his meaning and asked for clarification, to which Zhong Lin explained, "It's well-known that the Dark Sea conceals many worlds. Discovering a new world is always a tremendously sensational event for the Earth Immortal Realm. A new world means it's unclaimed, and both immortals and cultivators want to possess it. Thus, the emergence of a new world draws fierce contention from countless powerful beings."

He narrated slowly, "This time, with the emergence of the Mud犁 Great World, the Heavenly Court dispatched King Li with an army, and with the direct intervention of the Heavenly Court, few immortals dared to compete for it. But without the Heavenly Court's involvement, the Mud犁 Great World would have surely been seized and fiercely fought over by various immortals."

Chen Shi was astonished, for he had never witnessed such a scene.

However, the Mud犁 Great World is extremely perilous, and even King Li with a hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers suffered greatly, let alone those Independent Immortals.

Really letting loose in the Mud犁 Great World would likely lead to greater casualties for the Independent Immortals!

"The Earth Immortal Realm is overcrowded, with tens of thousands ascending as immortals every year. How are these immortals arranged? After their ascension, immortals must also seek a suitable place for Harmonization, to elevate themselves to True Immortal, Golden Immortal, and even Taiyi Golden Immortal levels. Where can they achieve Harmonization?"

Zhong Lin explained, "The Heavenly Court indeed controls many vacant lands, but deciding whom to give them to is a complex matter. The major Holy Lands also have their own vacant lands, used to rally disciples and followers, strengthening their power. Many other forces have their own vacant lands to gather support. But beyond this, the Earth Immortal Realm has no remaining open spaces for immortals to achieve Harmonization."

Chen Shi then understood the enormity of the risk he took by achieving Harmonization in the Western Heaven Swing!

If he had not been acknowledged by the Heavenly Mechanism Strategy, and if the Heavenly Mechanism Strategy had not concealed itself within his thoughts, achieving Harmonization there would surely have been thwarted!

They might have even pinned a crime on him, directly sentencing him to the Immortal Slaying Stage!

Zhong Lin continued, "Aside from Harmonization lands, there's also the daily cultivation needs for Immortal Qi Spirit Liquid, Immortal Pills, Immortal Grass and Immortal Medicine for preparing Immortal Pills, Immortal Furnace and Immortal Cauldron, as well as the Alchemy Rooms, Elixir Recipes, and spells needed for refining, and the materials required to craft Pill Furnaces and Magical Treasures, including the mines, smelters, miners, and Treasure Hunters necessary for locating mineral veins. Also, there are the cultivation techniques and Holy Lands needed for breakthrough to higher realms, and the Earth Treasure Spirit Roots necessary for surviving the Opening Tribulation—and all these in the Earth Immortal Realm often have owners. It is extremely challenging for an immortal to establish themselves and progress further in the Earth Immortal Realm. This is why the newly discovered worlds in the Dark Sea are their prime targets!"

With a solemn expression, he said, "Owning a world in the Dark Sea makes you the envy of countless immortals. Once it's revealed, it will inevitably attract covetous eyes!"

Chen Shi bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, friend, for your guidance!"

Zhong Lin returned the bow, saying, "Conceal your wealth, or revealing it will bring unnecessary trouble. This is an ironclad law. By the way, I've moved to the apartment next door to you."

Chen Shi blinked, wondering what it meant to live next door to him?

Could Zhong Lin possibly consider him as the Heavenly Mechanism Strategy?

As the Heavenly Mechanism Scholar observes the Heavenly Mechanism Strategy, it is to glimpse and ponder the Heavenly Mechanism.

The Heavenly Mechanism Strategy is imprinted deep in Chen Shi's mind, and for Zhong Lin, Chen Shi's every action is the Heavenly Dao Patterns automatically generated by the Heavenly Mechanism Strategy. Deciphering the Heavenly Dao Patterns is extremely complex, but interpreting Chen Shi's actions is much simpler.
