Above the Great Dao

Chapter 1578 729: Just Get It Done_2

The first developed great world was named the Eastern Continent, followed by the Northern Continent, the Nan Zhanbu Continent, and the Western Continent.

These places had indigenous people, and they didn't kill them; instead, they taught the natives the methods of cultivation.

Thus began the migration from the Ancestral Court to the Earth Immortal Realm and the Four Great Continents.

Later, the Xuanhuang Sea was also developed, discovering more and more worlds, in which strange and peculiar indigenous people lived. Demon Clan, Shura, Demon Clan, and other races also integrated into the Earth Immortal Realm during that period.

"At that time, during the development of the Earth Immortal Realm, we discovered remnants from the Dark Civilization era. This era had long been extinguished, leaving only ancient grand buildings, some buried deep underground as if frozen in time by the rock. Others were exposed on the surface, old and weathered."

Lady Houtu said, "We found that anything important from this era was recorded using a type of green rock. We found many green rock remnants, which were later sent to the Three Pure Ones Realm for the Immortals to study. We also found a green rock ore vein, which was mined during the Dark Era."

"Where is this ore vein?" Chen Shi quickly asked.

Lady Houtu replied, "In the Heavenly Abyss of the East Sea, called the Heavenly Abyss Ore Vein, it belongs to the Three Pure Ones Realm."

There are many Heavenly Abysses, located in the four seas of southeast, west, and north. However, the North Sea produces fish, and Chen Shi and Fan Xiao fish for the Abyss Fish in the North Sea.

Chen Shi's heart moved slightly: "My brother Yan Zhibei once mined in the East Sea's Heavenly Abyss, alongside Brother Bian Liu'er who mined in the Yama Well, known as the double marvels of the Golden Turtle Island mines. Regarding the green rock ore vein, I could ask him."

Lady Houtu continued, "Among the green rocks we found, there was one with a map painted on it, depicting a Green Palace surrounded by peculiar patterns, resembling a panoramic view of the Dark Sea, showcasing the complete form of the Ancient World. Compared to the Earth Immortal Realm, it is clear that the Earth Immortal Realm is not complete. However, this panoramic map is also incomplete."

Chen Shi was quite excited; the geographical map of the Dark Sea he had seen did not contain the form of the Ancient World, though the panoramic view of the Dark Sea did exist, but much of it was concealed.

"Where is this piece of green rock?"

"It was also sent into the Three Pure Ones Realm."

Lady Houtu continued, "We Divine have no interest in such things; we cannot study them, but Immortals in the Three Pure Ones Realm are quite curious, so they took it away. The Western Heaven also has a few pieces of green rock, bearing some markings from the Dark Era, and many of the monks are likely studying its contents. Did the Crown Prince obtain similar green rocks?"

She suddenly recalled something, asking, "The nine Xuanhuang Yellow Talismans you sent me, are they related to the green rock?"

This mysterious Nine Talismans replaced her own Xuanhuang Dao Pattern, allowing her to preserve her life and even execute two Daluo Golden Immortals, all thanks to it.

Chen Shi described the origin of the talisman: "The talisman was created by the Right Heavenly Master Hidden Dragon of the Immortal Court, improved by my grandfather and myself. Indeed, my improvement of the talisman is related to the green rock."

He talked about the Underground Green Palace in Penglai West Land and the recordings of the Dark Sea Heavenly Dao on the palace walls.

Lady Houtu's expression turned serious: "This is a very serious matter, have you not told anyone?"

Chen Shi hesitated for a moment, then said, "My fellow brothers on Golden Turtle Island, including Master Jiao, my grandfather, and Fifth Uncle, all know about the Underground Green Palace."

Lady Houtu burst into a murderous aura: "Kill them all!"

Chen Shi was shocked.

Lady Houtu said, "To be safe, they should all be killed. Otherwise, if this news spreads, Golden Turtle Island might face annihilation. The Three Pure Ones Realm, Western Heaven, and Immortal Court will certainly raze Golden Turtle Island. The Great Heavenly Venerate might not be able to resist taking action to seize the Underground Green Palace."

She sneered, "Something that can captivate the Three Pure Ones, two Buddhas of Western Heaven, and the Teacher, must be extraordinary, enough to bring disaster upon your heads!"

Chen Shi solemnly replied, "I will ensure they keep their mouths shut!"

Lady Houtu said, "The safest method is to eliminate them all."

Chen Shi vigorously shook his head.

Lady Houtu stopped scaring him, saying, "The Crown Prince, the Dark Sea Heavenly Dao recorded in the Underground Green Palace is something the Three Pure Ones Realm, Western Heaven, and the Immortal Court have studied for countless years but could not obtain. Many brilliant minds have wasted their intelligence on it. You studied it for a year or two and achieved what rivals the lifetime achievements of the one who eradicated Emperor Changsheng. If word of the Underground Green Palace leaks, do you think Golden Turtle Island can still be protected? The moment the Great Heavenly Venerate hears, he might rush to eliminate you!"

Chen Shi nodded solemnly, agreeing.

Lady Houtu planned to leave but remembered something, asking, "The war between Immortal Gods will surely ignite. How will the Crown Prince respond?"

Chen Shi earnestly replied, "Naturally, I will rely on the Immortal Court and shelter under the godmother's banner."

Lady Houtu sighed earnestly, "The Immortal Court is strong and orthodox; relying on it is naturally the best choice. However, the Earth Immortal Realm is brimming with powerful beings, with many demon types capable of swallowing ten thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals in a single gulp, and many Immortal Gods can obliterate ten thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals with a single strike. Even I often feel it difficult to ensure my own safety. Depending on the Immortal Court, or on me, it's difficult to persist in this battle."

"Please, godmother, guide me!"

Lady Houtu inquired, "How long does it take for the Communication Officer of the Immortal Court to travel from the Immortal Court to Penglai West?"

Chen Shi traversed this route regularly: "If traveling day and night without rest, requiring to transfer through over ten Star Gates, it takes a total of one month and six days."

Lady Houtu said, "If the Star Gate Station in Penglai West was destroyed by the Immortals of the Three Pure Ones Realm, then how long would it take for the Communication Officer to reach Penglai West?"

Chen Shi's eyes lit up, bowing in gratitude: "Thank you, godmother, for the guidance!"

Lady Houtu laughed, "You have twenty thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, which seems a lot, but it's irrelevant to the big picture—it's confined in a corner of Penglai. As long as you don't boast about it, not many will come to kill here. Even if some do, they'll just be minor soldiers. However, I didn't give you any advice. If anything happens, don't confess this palace."

She rose and departed.

After a moment's pondering, Chen Shi immediately summoned Senior Sister Jing Mei and Brother Qiao Gu, saying, "Please disguise yourselves as Immortals from the Three Pure Ones Realm and destroy the Star Gate Station in Penglai West!"

The two were taken aback. Jing Mei said, "Destroying the Star Gate Station in Penglai West will sever connections with other places—it is an act of rebellion! If the Immortal Court finds out, it's a death sentence!"

"That's why you must disguise as Immortals from the Three Pure Ones Realm."

Chen Shi earnestly said, "This matter concerns the lives of twenty thousand people on Golden Turtle Island. Will you do it, brothers and sisters?"

"We'll do it!"

The two exchanged a glance, and Qiao Gu laughed, "We've endured enough oppression from the brats of the Three Pure Ones Realm; disguising as them is second nature."

Chen Shi said, "I trouble you, brothers and sisters, to treat it as a task and do it promptly."

They immediately departed.

Within days, the news of the Star Gate Station in Penglai West being destroyed by the villains of the Three Pure Ones Realm spread throughout Penglai West.

Sect Leader Chen Shi was filled with righteous indignation, expressing profound sorrow, claiming that the Three Pure Ones Realm was excessively oppressive and vowing never to make peace with them. He encouraged disciples and members to diligently cultivate, striving to break through early to avoid being bullied.

"Could we also destroy the Star Gate Stations in Yanxia and Cangwu?"

After motivating the disciples, Chen Shi inadvertently fantasized that only destroying the Star Gate Station in Penglai West could allow the Immortal Court's envoy to travel two or three years and still get the message across. Destroying the Star Gates in Yanxia and Cangwu could extend this time to four or five years.

"If we destroy all Star Gates between the Immortal Court and Penglai West, it could extend to over ten years... no, no, it's too risky."

Chen Shi summoned his brothers and sisters to Biyou Palace to discuss the matter. Everyone brainstormed aloud, offering ideas, when Wen Ting suddenly said, "Why not pose as bandits on the road and kill the Immortal Court envoy as they fly to Penglai West? If we don't receive the Great Heavenly Venerate's orders, then it would naturally end."

Chen Shi's eyes lit up, he praised: "Brother Wen's idea is great! Brother Wen, were you a coachman before?"

Wen Ting replied honestly, "Before being a coachman, I was very poor and had committed highway robbery."

"Golden Turtle Island truly has talents emerging one after another."

Chen Shi couldn't help but marvel, "Brother Wen, take some people to patrol between Penglai West and Yanxia and treat it as a mission."

Wen Ting accepted the order and immediately prepared to select personnel to intercept and kill the Immortal Court envoy.

Princess Consort Dun was deeply worried, after all, her husband was engaging in actions that warranted the Immortal Slaying Stage.

"Brother Yan, wait."

Chen Shi called out to Yan Zhibei, asking, "Brother Yan, have you ever dug up green rock or anything peculiar while mining in the Heavenly Abyss over the years?"
