Above the Great Dao

Chapter 1338 627: The Six Dynasties—Nothing but Sectarian Schemes

"What are these people pursuing their entire lives, diligently cultivating for the sake of ascension?"

Chen Shi looked at the corpses of these maids and the Green Qilin, feeling somewhat confused for a moment.

The maids who died at the hands of Xi Muran may have been revered Fairies in the mortal world before their ascension, geniuses of their sect, renowned personages whose names were known far and wide, but in the eyes of someone like Xi Muran, an esteemed young nobleman of the Immortal Court, they were mere playthings that could be disposed of, insects that could be exterminated.

When idle, they were Xi Muran's playthings; when troubled, they were corpses for keeping secrets.

This disparity made Chen Shi very uncomfortable.

"Striving bitterly in cultivation, for what purpose? You are the prodigies!"

Chen Shi thought to himself, "In the Heavenly Court, ascended immortals are merely soldiers that can be casually wiped out in the Heavenly Soldier Camp, and in the Immortal Court, ascended immortals are no more than ants that can be exterminated at will. Just like when I became a Scholar, in the eyes of the villagers, I was the Scholar. But in the Western Capital, a Scholar is nothing!"

For the first time, he felt the Earth Immortal Realm to be so hypocritical and ridiculous.

"The so-called battle between Immortal Gods is merely a power game for those in higher positions, irrelevant to us lower realm immortals who crossed Tribulation! This isn't our fight. No matter who wins, our status as Ascenders won't change in the least!"

A vague sense of anger and despair arose in his heart, "What purpose the Six Dynasties serve, only fulfilling their own agendas, has never changed in the Divine Continent, in the West Bull New Continent, and even more so in the Earth Immortal Realm! What a world!"

A sense of powerlessness surged within him again, he was merely a newly ascended little immortal, with no power or influence, needing to live under the noses of others in the Heavenly Court.

He couldn't change any of this.

"In the end, Grandpa and I are just talisman masters dealing with evil spirits. This is the Earth Immortal Realm, there are no evil spirits here, Grandpa and I don't fit in this place, it's better to return early."

Xi Muran glanced over the corpses of the maids, slightly frowning: "One is missing, Little Hong Xiu is not here. This woman has always been clever, must have known that if I lost, I would go after them, and left early… Junior brother, I have some matters to handle, I'll leave first."

He tossed a token: "Since you are a disciple accepted by the Master from the mortal world, this item also includes you. This token is the symbol of our sect, keep it for now."

Chen Shi caught the token, looked down, only to see it was crafted from Xuan Gold. One side was carved with an unusual Dao Realm, in the center was a Life Banner, surrounded by Dao Images, but too small to distinguish clearly.

On the back were the words "Supreme Dao".

Chen Shi examined it repeatedly, pondering, "I am now considered a person of the Immortal Court. The Immortal Court opposes the Heavenly Court, but I am also someone from the Heavenly Court... let them be. On this return to the Heavenly Court, I'll find Grandpa and then we'll return to West Bull New Continent, I'll earnestly be the True King, and Grandpa the Supreme Emperor, wouldn't we be happy devouring our hometown folks?"

He looked at the corpses of the maids and the Green Qilin, hesitated a bit, then thought of burying the maids first.

As for the Green Qilin, not knowing if it tastes good.

He was contemplating, when a few black-robed immortals arrived, seeing the Supreme Dao Order in his hand, they respectfully bowed to him: "Sir! We are ordered to come for post-disaster matters."

Chen Shi was stunned, these few were black-robed, black-shod, with black belts and black sashes, their faces veiled by black scarves, were indeed the post-processing immortals!

Chen Shi encountered these post-processing immortals at the Demon Suppression Well, afterward hadn't seen them again, unexpectedly meeting them here again.

But the attire of post-processing immortals was identical, their faces unseen, unknown if they're the same ones from the Demon Suppression Well.

"You handle the aftermath then."

Chen Shi couldn't resist asking, "Why did you come here for post-disaster relief? Who notified you?"

Despite their astonishment, the post-processing immortals couldn't doubt the authenticity of the Supreme Dao Order in Chen Shi's hand.

One of the post-processing immortals said: "Didn't you notify us, sir? There are post-processing immortals everywhere, sir can ignite a Post-Disaster Relief Talisman, then post-processing immortals will arrive quickly."

Chen Shi asked, "How do you draw a Post-Disaster Relief Talisman?"

The post-processing immortals were even more astonished, the leading immortal asked: "Could you let me see the token, sir?"

Chen Shi handed the Supreme Dao Order to him, the immortal examined it carefully, verifying it was indeed the Supreme Dao Order, and said: "I have a Post-Disaster Relief Talisman here, sir will understand at a glance."

He took out a Post-Disaster Relief Talisman and handed it to Chen Shi.

Chen Shi inspected the talisman carefully, seeing its form differed from the traditional talismanic seal form, written with Immortal Dao patterns, whereas traditional talismanic seal forms approach from the form and language of the Divine.

"Immortal Dao is severing from Divine Dao, fundamentally eradicating Divine Dao's influence on Immortal Dao!"

Chen Shi was subtly moved, the rise of Immortal Dao was from the Witch Sacrificial Dao Pattern of the Great Shang Period, and the root of the Witch Sacrificial Dao Pattern is Divine Dao!

Talismanic seal, all depict the divine magic skill, whereas talismanic seal precisely is the foundation of cultivation!

Now that Immortal Dao has developed, if it fundamentally discards Divine Dao, immortals will no longer need the Divine.

Then, it would be possible to completely eradicate the Divine!

"Grandpa is doing that. Before his ascension, he was studying how to use talismanic seal to reconstruct Immortal Dao."

Chen Shi slightly frowned, Chen Yindou's idea aligned with the thoughts of the upper echelons of the Immortal Court!

If the Immortal Court discovered Chen Yindou, they certainly wouldn't let such talent slip away.

Then perhaps, they wouldn't be able to leave.

This time I caused such a commotion, Grandpa should seek me at the Heavenly Court, right? After reuniting, we'll immediately leave the Earth Immortal Realm, return home and devour our townsfolk happily!"
