Above the Great Dao

Chapter 1693 - 775: The Destruction of Cangyuan

"Family enmity can still be avenged after five generations, national resentment can still be avenged after a hundred generations. So, should such world-ending hatred be forgotten when the Evil Spirit and Disaster enslave and torment our West Bull New Continent for over ten thousand years, causing countless deaths and family destructions?"

Chen Shi looked towards the world ahead and saw the Primordial Worm’s flesh writhing, altering everything in this world, transforming the Heaven and Earth Great Dao into the Evil Dao of the Primordial Worm.

The teacher said, repay kindness with kindness, and hostilities with hostilities.

This is the Great Scholar.

Chen Shi never intended to forgive his enemies or sympathize with the perpetrators, nor did he heed the so-called universal love from the mouths of many Immortals. If lacking strength, then hide fangs and endure; if strong enough, then stain the Immortal Court with blood!

"To avenge West Bull New Continent, start with the Primordial Worm!"

He was about to go towards this world when suddenly a voice came from afar: "Chen Zhenwang? Is it really you!"

Chen Shi was taken aback, few call him Chen Zhenwang these days. In this Dark Sea, there is still someone calling him True King!

He stopped and looked, only to see a dilapidated large ship appearing in sight. There were more than ten weather-beaten Immortals on the ship, young and old, male and female. And at the front, a Daoist was excitedly waving to him.

"It’s him!"

Chen Shi was even more surprised, "Daoist Qing Yang! He is actually not dead!"

The ship drew near, and the Daoist at the front was indeed Daoist Qing Yang, who years ago was tied to the mast by the Heavenly Venerate when West Bull New Continent was exiled to the Dark Sea, surviving many calamities.

Chen Shi was both shocked and delighted; the last time he encountered Daoist Qing Yang was two hundred years ago, when the Heavenly Venerate was still living well in Despair Slope, and Chen Shi and Lady Houtu rescued Daoist Qing Yang from the Dark Sea, helping Feng Ruotong deal with the Heavenly Venerate, after which he disappeared.

At that time, Chen Shi guessed he had smuggled alone to the Earth Immortal Realm, but after reaching the Earth Immortal Realm, the name Daoist Qing Yang never appeared again, yet unexpectedly, this time in the Dark Sea he would encounter him.

Daoist Qing Yang was also very happy to see Chen Shi, and quickly turned back to say, "Stop the ship, quickly stop the ship! This Chen Zhenwang is my old acquaintance, saved me twice!"

The large ship slowly steadied, and Daoist Qing Yang invited Chen Shi onboard, only to see the ship was made of a type of forest wood growing in the Earth Immortal Realm, entirely black.

While working in the Northern Border, Chen Shi had seen this kind of wood, called Black Sandalwood, a material that is hard yet light, often used by Immortals to make ships.

This Black Sandalwood Ship was covered with claw marks and scars from battles, likely having sailed the Dark Sea for many years, encountering numerous fights.

"We are Immortals who entered the Dark Sea to harvest Earth Treasure Spirit Roots."

Meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign land, Daoist Qing Yang was very enthusiastic towards Chen Shi and said with a smile, "After I escaped from West Bull New Continent, I left alone and entered the Dark Sea, attempting to smuggle to the Earth Immortal Realm, but ended up drifting in the sea for more than ten years without finding the Earth Immortal Realm. Luckily, I met Boss Huan and her crew who rescued me, staying on the ship as a Treasure Hunting Immortal."

The ship’s boss he mentioned was a Fairy, in her prime, named Huan Shu, very beautiful, though now having experienced the winds and rains, without meticulous grooming but possessing a unique charm.

Huan Shu eyed Chen Shi, noticing his fine clothes, asked, "Are you an Immortal? May I know your name, sir?"

Daoist Qing Yang smiled, "His name is Chen Shi, the True King of our West Bull New Continent."

"Chen Shi, West Bull New Continent..."

Huan Shu thought for a moment, not having heard of this name in the Earth Immortal Realm.

This group of Treasure Hunting Immortals often roamed the Dark Sea, living with their lives hanging by a thread, ever at risk of dying in the Dark Sea. Their news was isolated, despite Chen Shi being famous in the Earth Immortal Realm, having once topped the Immortal Slaying List and served as General of the World, also known as Daoist Ancestor Chen, they had never heard of him.

"All fallen in the same world, since we meet in the Dark Sea, we are friends; we won’t stand by and watch you die in the Dark Sea."

Huan Shu said, "Ahead lies Great Origin Immortal City, let’s go there to rest. If you wish to go to the Earth Immortal Realm, or return to West Bull New Continent, we fear we can’t spare the time to send you. Perhaps a convenient trip if there’s an Immortal Ship going back to the Earth Immortal Realm."

Daoist Qing Yang said, "Boss Huan, he saved my life, twice, can you show some consideration..."

Huan Shu shook her head and said, "We don’t keep idlers on our ship. Treasure hunting in the Dark Sea is perilous everywhere, us being able to survive till now is already extremely fortunate. Bringing one more person is just one more burden."

Chen Shi said gently, "No need to worry, Boss Huan, I’ll leave after chatting with my old friend."

Daoist Qing Yang apologetically said, "I’m currently under Boss Huan, because I’ve survived in the Dark Sea, they now rely heavily on me. I can’t decide..."

Chen Shi smiled, "It’s nothing."

Daoist Qing Yang inquired about the events in West Bull New Continent, Chen Shi recounted how everyone united to deal with the Primordial Worm and Heavenly Venerate after he left, Daoist Qing Yang felt very guilty, murmuring, "I feared death, dared not face the Heavenly Venerate, ashamed to our benefactor..."

Chen Shi said indifferently, "Past matters have passed, we’ve eliminated the Heavenly Venerate and Primordial Worm, West Bull New Continent is now well. Past matters, don’t mention them. Where is this place, why is there another world covered by the Primordial Worm?"

Daoist Qing Yang said, "This place is called Cangyuan, the source of Cangjiang. The world devoured by the Primordial Worm is called Dacang Realm, one of the eighty-eight realms around Cangyuan, heard it was devoured by the Primordial Worm a long time ago, even earlier than West Bull New Continent. Among the eighty-eight realms, many have been devoured by the Primordial Worm, only a few worlds don’t have the Primordial Worm."
