Above the Great Dao

Chapter 1298 611: Taiyue Strife (Part 2)

"They seem serene, but are actually bound by obsession on the Immortal Island."

Yu San's voice echoed, "If passing immortals are lured by them and ascend the island, they will gradually be assimilated and can never leave, perishing with their Dao vanquished, turning into Tribulation Ash! Even a Golden Immortal would enter the Immortal Island, but not hope to escape! Originally, there were only a few hundred immortals on this island, but now there are thousands, perhaps tens of thousands."

Chen Shi gazed towards the Immortal Mountain gradually fading away, muttering, "There are dangers in the Xuanhuang Sea as well..."

"The danger is the Opening Tribulation."

Yu San said, "Once the Opening Tribulation begins, no matter how lofty your cultivation, you face perishing with your Dao vanquished."

Not long after, they encountered another Immortal Mountain, also carried by a Dragon Turtle, roaming in the sea. Hundreds of fairy maidens graced the mountaintop with songs and dances, their ethereal movements captivating all.

"Yet another Tribulation Ash Immortal!"

Chen Shi and Black Pot felt tense, seeing many ships anchored beside the Immortal Mountain, with others approaching from afar, pausing at the mountain's edge.

The boatmen cast golden ropes, tied them to posts, and immortals disembarked, walking into the mountain.

"These immortals are probably doomed." Chen Shi said nervously.

"Those aren't Tribulation Ash Immortals."

Yu San looked up, "Those are Sea Prostitute Immortals, a notorious den of decadence, a place of merrymaking."

"Prostitute Immortals?"

Chen Shi found it hard to believe, "Aren't immortals supposed to sever the Three Corpse, ending all worldly ties? Why are there such mundane affairs?"

Yu San scoffed, "Life, death, creation, destruction, emptiness, are the universe's truths. Immortals obsessed with immortality, what ties have they ended? This is truly the greatest greed, the deepest obsession! If great greed isn't eliminated, nor the great obsession, then removing small ones - what's the point?"

Chen Shi was slightly taken aback, realizing the profound truth in the words, falling into deep thought.

Indeed, isn't immortality a form of obsession? Even immortals are not immune to the worldly.

Yu San was truly knowledgeable. With it guiding the boat, Chen Shi and Black Pot increased their worldly knowledge, chatting leisurely, keeping from solitude.

From afar, a voice was heard reciting, "Fishing in the Five Lakes in autumn, drunkenly lying by the stream and mountain, dreaming of the Nine Provinces. Laugh at floating clouds, they're all transient guests, no need to gather the full moon aboard the ship."

Chen Shi and Black Pot grew tense, gazing in that direction, "Could it be another Tribulation Ash Immortal?"

Yu San said, "Taiyue is here, and these independent immortals have high morals, indifferent to fame and fortune."

Chen Shi saw a distant Immortal Mountain, though not peculiar, with Immortal Energy swirling like incense clouds. Many ships sailed towards it, and the reciting voice came from a nearby Tower Ship, with immortals bearing a Taoist visage, singing, exuding a carefree and transcendent demeanor.

Suddenly, someone shouted, "Look at that dog! It seems to be the top-ranking dog on the Immortal Slaying List!"

All eyes instantly focused on Black Pot, nearby Tower Ships halted, and many took out portraits, comparing them to Black Pot's appearance.

The immortals on the nearby Tower Ship laughed heartily, "Worn the iron shoes seeking it, found it effortlessly! This Fugui is mine!"

He mobilized his Primordial Spirit, revealing a large hand behind his head, grasping towards Black Pot!

Black Pot raised a paw to meet the attack, and a world emerged atop the immortal's head amidst clouds, revealing his Dao Realm.

He invoked the power of the Dao Realm, determined to capture Black Pot.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by an earth-shattering boom, the immortal's face changed dramatically, hurtling backwards towards the distant Taiyue!

"No wonder it's the top-ranked dog on the Immortal Slaying List!"

Countless figures rose, all reaching towards Black Pot.

Black Pot leaped into the air, stabilizing its form, now wielding the Heaven Measuring Iron Ruler. The Circulation Fire Realm erupted, propelling the Heaven Measuring Iron Ruler in a whirlwind, blocking attacks from all directions with a cacophony of clangs.

"Capture this dog, alive earns five hundred Earth Treasure Spirit Roots, dead earns a Taiyi Golden Immortal Sacred Land!"

Nearby immortals on Tower Ships were nearly frenzied, attacking Black Pot, some even brandishing Immortal Artifacts, enhancing their power, aiming to take Black Pot down, feeling uncertain about capturing the dog immortal alive, opting for its head instead, seeking reward.

Black Pot stomped heavily, Yin Yang Dojo emerged, various magic entered the Yin Yang Dojo, weakened layer by layer by the Yin Yang Dao Power, when near it already lacking former potency.

Only the Immortal Artifacts remained formidable, breaking through the Yin Yang Dojo, reaching Black Pot, still holding seven or eight parts of their power.

Black Pot wielded the Heaven Measuring Iron Ruler, like a martial arts master, blocking various Immortal Soldiers, striking them with a radiant Immortal Light.

Immortals clashed into the Yin Yang Dojo, each Daoist Field erupting, stabilizing Yin Yang Changes, drawing close to Black Pot for combat.

Black Pot activated the Iron Ruler, fighting with them, repeatedly causing severe injuries, sending many flying.

In a short moment, dozens were wounded!

Suddenly, a True Immortal entered the Yin Yang Dojo, stabilizing Yin Yang with his Daoist Field, laughing, "The Dao Realm dog renegade truly has some skill, yet today you shall be captured and brought to justice!"

His horsetail whisk expanded, three thousand threads wrapped around the Heaven Measuring Iron Ruler, locking its movements, Black Pot couldn't alter its size. The True Immortal advanced, reaching out with a hand, laughing, "Today I'll seize you first, claiming this merit!"

He employed the Five Elements Great Divine Power, capable of locking all Five Elements Changes, catching those not beyond Five Elements with certainty.
