Above the Great Dao

Chapter 1700 - 777: The Treasure of Green Rock

Ning Zhenzi was actually transformed from the Primordial Worm; it lacked the courage to battle Chen Shi and fled in panic the moment it encountered him.

It had been psychologically scarred by Chen Shi.

Years ago, Chen Shi twice refined its physical body in the Xunjiang Star Domain, leaving it helpless, making him its natural enemy. This time, in search of Cangyuan, had it fled slower, Chen Shi would have refined more of its body.

But on its escape route, it found Chen Shi wounded by Subtle Taoist Monarch and Emperor Wan Shou, and formulated a plan.

Rather than being suppressed by Chen Shi, why not take this opportunity to eliminate him forever?

Hence, it gathered physical bodies from the nearby star domain, transformed into Ning Zhenzi, and lay in wait for Chen Shi and his companions.

Ning Zhenzi was indeed a real person, an Immortal from Sanfu Island, but the true Ning Zhenzi had already died.

This young Immortal was also a Treasure Hunting Immortal, but due to his solitary nature he ventured alone into the Dark Sea seeking treasure, unwittingly encountered the Primordial Worm, not knowing its danger, and was assimilated and devoured by it.

The Primordial Worm merely borrowed Ning Zhenzi’s name, as for its form now, it randomly morphed and did not use Ning Zhenzi’s real appearance.

"How much have Chen Zhenwang’s wounds healed?"

Ning Zhenzi’s thoughts spun rapidly; the Primordial Worm didn’t have a brain structure, but could alter its physical form to possess one. Its physical body was already enormous, and the brain it created was complex, granting it high intelligence.

"Chen Zhenwang must be injured! His injuries must be severe! He’s merely pretending they’re light to make me hesitate to act."

Ning Zhenzi’s gaze flickered, focusing on Chen Shi, eager yet holding back, and laughed: "Emperor Wan Shou, Subtle Taoist Monarch, disciple Ning Zhenzi from Sanfu Island, pays respect to two seniors. Disciple has healing sacred medicine from Sanfu Island to offer."

He held a jade plate, upon it were two Immortal Pills, round and about the size of a thumb nail, emitting a tempting fragrance that invigorated one’s spirit, bringing immense comfort.

Emperor Wan Shou murmured: "This Immortal Pill is extraordinary, indeed a healing sacred medicine. I didn’t expect Sanfu Island to possess such a spiritual elixir. Sanfu Island’s Gui Xiangjun is skilled in alchemy; what is your relation?"

Ning Zhenzi unchanged, replied: "Gui Xiangjun is my great-uncle of generations past; disciple knows his name, not the person."

Emperor Wan Shou hummed, took one Immortal Pill but did not consume it, instead, tucked it into his sleeve.

Subtle Taoist Monarch observed and transmitted: "Friend, is it possible Sanfu Island has no Gui Xiangjun?"

Emperor Wan Shou said: "There is. But Gui Xiangjun is my disciple. He proclaims to be Gui Xiangjun’s disciple without knowing this ancestor, which is peculiar. Let’s see what he intends."

Subtle Taoist Monarch hearing this, also took an Immortal Pill, tucked into his sleeve like him, and didn’t ingest it.

Ning Zhenzi noticed they didn’t eat, didn’t urge them, but diligently offered the pills to Daoist Qing Yang, Huan Shu and others.

Daoist Qing Yang, Huan Shu and other Treasure Hunting Immortals were originally injured, each accepted a spiritual elixir.

Chen Shi quietly coughed, Daoist Qing Yang was alert in his heart and didn’t consume it.

Huan Shu saw him not eat, hesitated a bit, also refrained from eating, secretly stowing away the spiritual elixir.

However, several other Treasure Hunting Immortals, sniffing the unusual scent of the elixir, succumbed to temptation, consumed the Immortal Pills, and suddenly felt the elixir entering the stomach, releasing incredibly pure energy outwardly, nourishing limbs and bones, rewarding even their Primordial Spirit with repair!

Their injuries healed at a rate visible to the naked eye, and their Daoist Field, as well as their Immortal Dao Dao Pattern were restored.

Even their cultivation greatly improved, the effect astonishingly beneficial!

More Treasure Hunting Immortals, eyes burning with envy, hastily consuming the Immortal Pills, rapidly healing injuries and skills greatly enhanced in a short time!

"What sort of spiritual elixir is this?"

The crowd both surprised and delighted, shamelessly begged Ning Zhenzi for more elixirs, Ning Zhenzi shook his head: "This is Sanfu Island’s secret, Three Blessings Divine Pill, I haven’t many on me. This elixir can only be consumed once; more gives no benefit."

Huan Shu seeing this, was inclined to consume this Three Blessings Divine Pill, but Daoist Qing Yang never ate, so she restrained herself.

Daoist Qing Yang merely watched Chen Shi and resolved that as long as Chen Shi did not eat this so-called Three Blessings Divine Pill, neither would he.

Chen Shi never touched the so-called Three Blessings Divine Pill, focused on self-healing.

Emperor Wan Shou chuckled: "Mr. Chen, didn’t you say your injuries were seventy to eighty percent healed? Why still healing?"

Ning Zhenzi’s gaze swept over.

Chen Shi opened his eyes, smiling: "Just feigning healing to appear weak, lure the enemy to strike."

He locked onto Ning Zhenzi’s gaze, Ning Zhenzi smilingly said: "Mr. Chen, would you like to consume some Three Blessings Divine Pills?"

"I am not injured; why would I need Divine Pills?" Chen Shi declined with a smile.

Subtle Taoist Monarch said: "Mr. Chen, your Demon Tree suffered severe damage; you can heal, but how will the Demon Tree recover? That tree was refined into a treasure, in the Dark Sea, you cannot sense a Dao Realm, without a Dao Realm, this treasure cannot quickly recover. Currently, what strength do you possess?"

Chen Shi shook his head: "Who said I lack a Dao Realm? My Dao Realm was long refined; the Treasure Tree is within my Dao Realm, long nurtured, restored to its peak!"

Behind him, space twisted, faintly revealing a majestic world, the Demon Blood Treasure Tree standing grandly within.

This world flickered briefly, no one caught sight in time, yet it was seen that this world was indeed Chen Shi’s Dao Realm!
