Above the Great Dao

Chapter 1309 615: The Strife Between Immortal Gods (Part 3)

However, her cultivation was unfathomable, and Chen Shi couldn't discern her actual cultivation realm.

Feng Huixue came to his side and said with a smile, "Let me accompany Your Highness for a walk to relax your mind."

Chen Shi joyfully replied, "Thank you, Senior Sister. No need to address me as Your Highness, just call me Little Ten or Chen Shi."

Feng Huixue replied seriously, "I call you Your Highness not out of respect for you, but out of respect for the Lady, how could I be disrespectful?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Shi did not insist further.

The two walked together, though the Thick Virtue and Bright Heaven Palace was built between the Xuan and Huang lotus flowers, the interior of the palace still had mountains and waters, with magnificent scenery.

Chen Shi stopped in his tracks as he reached a rainbow bridge, looking at the flowing water below; the azure waves shimmered with scales, layered and stretching endlessly into the distance.

"Senior Sister is also an immortal, how do you view the disputes between gods and immortals?" Chen Shi inquired.

Feng Huixue replied, "I am pondering why gods and immortals cannot coexist? Immortals transcend worldly matters, while gods are involved in worldly matters. They essentially have nothing to do with each other. Why cause relentless conflicts?"

She suddenly changed the topic, saying, "Is it possible that Your Highness is asking me because you are also confused about your identity?"

Chen Shi candidly admitted, "I am the Lady's adopted son, but I am also an immortal. If I consider myself an immortal, I must oppose the Heavenly Court, but if I think of the Lady, I must oppose the Immortal Court. Thus, I find my heart bewildered for a moment, feeling somewhat hesitant."

Feng Huixue turned around, leaning against the railing, and smiled, "Perhaps, that's the reason The Three Pure Ones left the Earth Immortal Realm. They couldn't resolve the conflict between gods and immortals, so they simply abandoned this mess."

Chen Shi admired her graceful figure, though it didn't solve his inner confusion, it was pleasing to the eyes.

Feng Huixue said, "The Lady has her stance. My survival to this day relies on the protection of the Thick Virtue and Bright Heaven Palace, so I must also have a stance. The Lady's stance, therefore, is my stance. What is Your Highness' stance?"

Chen Shi pondered for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "I am merely a small Heavenly Immortal; what choice do I have? For now, I, being such a minor figure, must prioritize securing my life. Once I can make decisions, I'll discuss my stance."

Feng Huixue laughed, "In this world, how many people actually have a say? Your Highness is quite ambitious."

Chen Shi laughed, "Senior Sister, don't slander me. What ambitions could I possibly have? My ascension was out of sheer necessity, I couldn't help but ascend. However, now that I have ascended, the blood debt of the West Bull New Continent must also be repaid."

He smiled, but his eyes carried a chilling killing intent.

Feng Huixue glanced at him; although Chen Shi claimed he had no stance, his experiences forced him to have one.

"If he truly had no stance, the Lady wouldn't have acknowledged him as her adopted son," she thought to herself.

At this moment, there was a commotion, and Chen Shi looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a large number of immortals gathering outside the Heavenly Palace, rising into the air, all heading towards the same destination.

These immortals were not only flying but also striking at other nearby immortals, attempting to knock them down.

"What are they fighting for?" Chen Shi asked curiously.

Feng Huixue glanced around and said, "They are fighting over Xuanhuang Ancestor Qi. Xuanhuang Ancestor Qi is different from Xuanhuang Qi in the Xuanhuang Sea, which has begun transforming into heaven and earth, but Ancestor Qi has not yet transformed and is extremely precious. It can be used to refine treasure or enhance the Dao Realm. In the Holy Land where our Heavenly Palace is located, a few strands of Ancestor Qi seep out every hundred days, attracting many to vie for them each time."

Chen Shi was greatly intrigued, "It can be used to refine treasure or enhance the Dao Realm? Senior Sister, let's try our luck too!"

Feng Huixue couldn't help but laugh, covering her mouth, "Your Highness, there's no need for us to compete. We have it at home. If Your Highness wants to use it, I can take you to fetch it, and then report to the Lady."
