Above the Great Dao

Chapter 1300 612: Bixia Primordial Monarch

On Taiyue, quite a few immortals just received the news and were rushing over. The surface of the Xuanhuang Sea was dotted with tower ships, each hosting numerous passengers—some inquiring about the events, others observing the battle, and still others en route.

At this moment, everything came to an abrupt halt, no voices were heard, only the sound of the wind over the Xuanhuang Sea.

Chen Shi summoned the Black Pot and swallowed hundreds of immortals, even True Immortals were consumed, creating an astonishing scene.

Immortals in the Earth Immortal Realm often heard tales of Heavenly King Li from the Heavenly Court, who fought demons and was swallowed together with a hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals. After hearing it so much, they felt it was not a big deal, even thinking that if they faced such a scene themselves, they would have various ways to escape without being swallowed.

Now, witnessing the Black Pot's mouth open wide, blocking out the sun and swallowing hundreds of immortals, they realized how terrifying such a scene truly was.

Once the demon unleashed it, it seemed even heaven was collapsing into that bloody maw, leaving no escape!

Deep in the Xuanhuang Sea, Yu San hesitated, unsure whether to surface and tow away his ship.

It had an obsession with this ship.

For fish, cultivation is extremely difficult, especially for the fish of the Xuanhuang Sea, whose cultivation journey is even harder. On one hand, it had to beware of being eaten by straightforward people like Chen Shi, while on the other hand, it had to interact with them.

There are only two ways to ferry immortals across the sea: either let the immortals stand on the fish's back or tow a ship. It tried the first method, but while sailing in the sea, the immortals on its back would either be pressed into the sea by Yellow Qi or blown into the air by it, resulting in a very unpleasant experience. Thus, it could only cooperate with the immortals of Denghai Town to build a ship to ferry passengers across the sea.

For this ship, it went into debt for thousands of years, only recently having paid off the shipbuilding cost.

Similar fish demons are countless in the Xuanhuang Sea, all striving half their lives for their ships.

This ship was its livelihood and its savings, so it couldn't bear to let it go.

"If I tow my ship away now, no one should stop me, right?"

It was just about to surface and bite the chain on the ship when Chen Shi on the ship lightly flicked his sleeve, creating a wind that pushed the ship towards Taiyue.

"What is he doing?"

Yu San was startled, "He's not escaping at this moment but intends to head for Tai Mountain?"

Chen Shi arrived at the foot of Taiyue, stopped the ship, and was about to ascend the mountain. After a moment of thought, he raised his hand and stored the ship away, casting it into the Dao Ruins, then proceeded to ascend.

Yu San followed him to the base of Taiyue, heartbroken at what he saw: "It's my ship—"

Chen Shi and the Black Pot ascended the mountain one after the other, soon arriving at the Tai Mountain Mansion, where Emperor Tianqi Ren Sheng of Dongyue was worshipped. Chen Shi offered incense to Emperor Tianqi Ren Sheng, then went outside Tai Mountain Mansion, gazed upon the heavens and earth, and observed the location of the Heavenly Palace of Emperor Ziwei of the Beiji, before determining the location of the Thick Virtue and Bright Heaven Palace based on the positions of the Beiji and Taiyue.

In a short time, many immortals had arrived outside Taiyue Island, with some ascending Taiyue and looking towards Chen Shi and the Black Pot, eager yet hesitant.

However, due to the terrifying scene of Chen Shi summoning the Black Pot earlier, they dared not approach for the moment.

Just as Chen Shi was about to descend the mountain, a voice called out, "True King, please wait."

Chen Shi turned and saw a voluptuous woman accompanied by two maids, gracefully walking out of the Tai Mountain Mansion. The woman had a dignified appearance, willow leaf brows, a hanging gallbladder nose, wearing a Golden Phoenix Crown and a golden silk robe, with nine forms of Spiritual Energy shining down from behind her.

Chen Shi felt a slight stir in his heart as he caught a whiff of incense and thought, "This is a Divine. When I offered incense, I hadn't seen her. She addressed me as True King; does she know me?"

The woman smiled and said, "I am Bixia Primordial Monarch, known in the Divine Continent as Grandma Tai Mountain. In the past, when Sanbao Eunuch crossed the ocean, opening a new continent in the Dark Sea, a clone of mine accompanied him and later perished in the battle where the True King fell. Fortunately, Your Majesty used Divine Power to resurrect my clone. Not long ago, I fell again in front of the Houde Palace."

Chen Shi saluted and smiled, "So it is Grandma Tai Mountain! When on the West Bull New Continent, Grandma Tai Mountain appeared as an old lady, so this is the first time I've seen the true form of the Primordial Monarch. I almost didn't recognize you."

Bixia Primordial Monarch chuckled and said, "People called me Grandma, and those in the New Continent thought I was truly an old lady, leading my Divine Image to take the form of an old woman. Why is Your Majesty in such a hurry to leave? My father is out attending the Shangsi Festival in Fengdu, and by the date, he should be returning. Currently, more and more immortals outside intend harm upon Your Majesty, but if my father supports you, it will ensure safety for a while."

Chen Shi inquired, "Primordial Monarch, who is your father?"

Bixia Primordial Monarch smiled and said, "It is none other than Emperor Tianqi Ren Sheng. During the days of the West Bull New Continent, Your Majesty even awakened my father's clone, the Lord of Tai Mountain."

Chen Shi understood and laughed, "So it is the Lord."

Bixia Primordial Monarch continued, "My father greatly admired Your Majesty's actions on the West Bull New Continent. Why not stay for a few days? I possess some Divine Power, so even a Taiyi Golden Immortal wouldn't dare act recklessly on Taiyue and can ensure Your Majesty's safety here."

She did not exaggerate.

When Grandma Tai Mountain was on the West Bull New Continent, she was just a clone with cultivation and power akin to a cultivator at most reaching the Mahayana Realm, any exceeding it were few.

But Bixia Primordial Monarch is different. The Xuanhuang Sea contains numerous worlds, and so each Taiyue hosts a Bixia Primordial Monarch.

All Bixia Primordial Monarchs, their Divine Power and cultivation, are unified.
