Above the Great Dao-Chapter 1504 - 699: Immortal Wencheng_2

Chen Shi recalled carefully that the significant figures in the Heavenly Court often had their own carriages and mounts.

"Don’t worry, I will also go to the Northern Continent to hunt Immortal Beasts," said Chen Shi.

"Most of the money from selling Immortal Beasts falls into the hands of the leaders, leaving us with just enough for daily expenses."

Immortal Wencheng chuckled, "During one hunting trip, I was seriously injured and then sold by the leader of the Beast Hunting Team to the ship’s captain. The captain took me to sea to hunt sea beasts, which are delicacies at the tables of important figures in the Heavenly Court. And I was the captain’s bait, tied to a hook taller than a person, awaiting the sea beasts to take the bait."

Chen Shi hesitated for a moment, but still said, "I will also go to hunt sea beasts."

Immortal Wencheng said, "Perhaps it was my luck; I was swallowed by a Sea Dragon Shark, but surprisingly didn’t die inside its belly. Instead, I swallowed its Dragon Ball, significantly advancing my cultivation. My wounds healed, and even my arm grew back. I killed the Sea Dragon Shark and escaped. The captain wanted to capture me, and I was consumed with hatred, wanting to kill him."

Chen Shi said, "You endured so much suffering, blamed Heaven and Earth, and hated them, so you wanted to kill the captain for revenge. It’s understandable."

Immortal Wencheng’s face was cold as frost, "I want more than just to kill the captain. I also want to kill the leader of the Beast Hunting Team and the master of the North Sea mines! But the captain is a True Immortal, how could I be a match for him? After I was captured by him, I was sold to Gongtong Valley to cultivate medicine, becoming a Medicine Slave."

Chen Shi felt a pang of sympathy.

"Do you know what it means to be a Medicine Slave? A Medicine Slave must use their own Immortal Blood to nourish Immortal Elixirs, and their Immortal Yuan to cultivate the fruit of the elixirs."

Immortal Wencheng rolled up his sleeve, revealing the scars on his wrist, and said, "The Immortal Elixirs of Gongtong Valley mainly supply the Heavenly Court. The Immortal Pills in the salary of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals are made from the materials grown there. It was then I realized that the Immortal Pills I made in the Heavenly Court for the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals were cultivated from the blood of us newly ascended Immortals."

So tragic.

Chen Shi was filled with sympathy.

"Since then, I’ve been thinking that I couldn’t live like that anymore. I had to find the source of our Immortals’ suffering."

Immortal Wencheng said, "Eventually, I found out the source was the Heavenly Court. Gongtong Valley supplied medicine to the Heavenly Court, the captain sent fish and meat to the Heavenly Court, the Beast Hunting Team sent mounts, and the North Sea mining district provided materials for forging weapons and armor for the Heavenly Court. So, to change all this, we must get rid of the Heavenly Court."

Chen Shi frowned slightly, feeling there was something wrong in all this, and said, "The resources in the Earth Immortal Realm aren’t entirely in the hands of the Heavenly Court. Most of the Holy Lands are controlled by powerful Immortals, who use them to enslave others."

Immortal Wencheng said, "Aren’t those powerful Immortals growing strong by doing work for the Heavenly Court? The Battle of the Destruction of Shang back then was to set up the Heavenly Court for the Jade Emperor Great Heavenly Venerate!"

He changed his tone, saying, "I can’t fight against the Heavenly Court alone. But fortunately, there are righteous heroes in the Earth Immortal Realm who also want to overthrow the Heavenly Court. That’s when I met the Supreme."

He showed a look of admiration, a genuine admiration from the heart rather than a pretense.

"The Supreme?" Chen Shi was puzzled.

"It was then I realized that many people like me had discovered that the Heavenly Court was the source of Immortals’ suffering and gathered around the Supreme to join forces," said Immortal Wencheng.

"I was both fearful and delighted at meeting him so late. The Supreme treated me like a close relative, providing Daoist Skills Classics and spiritual elixirs, everything I needed. My cultivation in Daoist Skills also progressed rapidly. Later, we elected the Supreme as Emperor, forming the Immortal Court to officially oppose the Heavenly Court."

Chen Shi’s heart skipped a beat; the Supreme was the Emperor of the Immortal Court, also the master of the Great Wilderness Ming Dao Collection, his inexpensive master!

Immortal Wencheng said, "The Immortal Court has been cautious in opposing the Heavenly Court, as the Heavenly Court’s influence is vast. The Three Pure Ones Heaven, the Western Heaven, and other Immortal forces might not support us. But more knowledgeable people are joining the Immortal Court, making it stronger. One day, the Supreme told me there was something he needed me to do. This task might earn me an eternal bad reputation or even a place where my bones wouldn’t be buried alive."

Chen Shi said, "Destroy the Ancestral Court."

Immortal Wencheng nodded lightly, "That’s right. Only by destroying the Ancestral Court can we destroy the foundation of the Heavenly Court. Everyone comes from the Ancestral Court and respects the Divine of the Heavenly Court because of their faith in the Ancestral Court. Take Heavenly King Chen, for instance. He comes from the Dark Sea of the West Bull New Continent and has been disconnected from the Ancestral Court for over six thousand years, yet he still remembers it as the root of you overseas wanderers. Eliminating the Ancestral Court cuts off that root."

Chen Shi’s mouth twitched.

He indeed had an inexplicable sentiment toward the Ancestral Court, known as the Huaxia Divine Continent, as the culture and traditions of the West Bull New Continent originated there, and it always felt like his true homeland.

He worshipped the gods, and his godmother came from the tradition of the Ancestral Court as well.

The Divine that reawakened in the West Bull New Continent were also Huaxia Gods.

Thinking about it, people in All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds were probably the same.

When they raised their heads at night to gaze upon the Moon, they likely wondered if it was the Moon from their homeland.

Immortal Wencheng continued, "Destroying the Ancestral Court could shake the foundation of the Heavenly Court. Without faith, the gods would die for good and wouldn’t be reborn. But destroying the Ancestral Court is a major issue, and someone has to bear that stigma. That person is me. I told the Supreme I’d do it. So, eight hundred years ago, I took the magical treasures given by the Supreme and went to the Ancestral Court."

He smiled slightly, "I did it very well. I released ice and snow, plunging the Ancestral Court into severe cold, shaking the Great Ming’s reign. I supported Jianzhou and taught them the Demon Technique. The Great Ming was incredibly strong, but its foundation was decaying, and its court was filled with clear stream officials who only knew to exploit the people for personal gain. Eventually, the dynasty collapsed and was overthrown by Great Shun. Great Shun is also an illusory dream, destined to be swept away by the Jianzhou Demon Army. What I need to do now is support the Demon Seed, turning it into a Great Demon to destroy everything in the Ancestral Court."

He looked at Chen Shi and said, "Not long ago, I contacted the Supreme and received news. The Supreme said that Heavenly King Chen is leading twenty thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals to quell the demon chaos."

Chen Shi raised his eyebrows.

This matter surely couldn’t be hidden from the Immortal Court.

Immortal Wencheng continued, "The Supreme also said this Heavenly King Chen is his inexpensive disciple, who cultivated his Great Wilderness Ming Dao Collection and is most likely the one who killed his two disciples."

Chen Shi’s heart pounded wildly, and he said in a hoarse voice, "The Supreme knows about me?"

Immortal Wencheng said leisurely, "The Supreme knows about you. He also said that the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals under your command are all his people. You are just managing these forces for him. The Supreme said that as long as you don’t interfere in the matters of the Ancestral Court, he acknowledges you as his disciple."

Chen Shi’s heart was racing. Being targeted by someone like that was definitely not a good thing!

With the power of the Immortal Emperor, he could absolutely kill him with ease!

He had no power to resist against such an existence!

Immortal Wencheng smiled, "Heavenly King Chen, you and I are ministers in the same court; why make things awkward? Please hand over Kun Dulun to the Heavenly King."

Chen Shi took a deep breath and shook his head with a smile, "I won’t."

Immortal Wencheng sighed, "I’ve wasted my words. If Heavenly King Chen and his virtuous spouse decide to fight to the death, I have no choice but to comply."

Just as Chen Shi was about to call his wife to action, a dog’s bark was heard. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a burly Daoist in a black robe with a scruffy beard charging over, followed by a young Daoist with a handsome face.

"Black Pot!"

Chen Shi exclaimed in surprise and delight to the young Daoist.

The burly Daoist in the black robe was strong and robust. He was about to pounce on Chen Shi but stopped when he heard the words.

"Woof!"

Chen Shi turned his head with difficulty and said, "Did you say you’re Black Pot?"

He turned back to the young Daoist, stammering, "Then who are you?"

The young Daoist, with rosy lips and white teeth, was quite genteel, saying, "I am Daoist Xiao Tian."

In a boom within Chen Shi’s mind, he saw behind Daoist Xiao Tian, a tall, golden-crowned, golden-armored, red-booted young Immortal General, walking over with a three-pointed double-edged blade in hand.
