Zhong Wuwang was truly enraged. He had painstakingly found the second piece of the dry bone, only to be followed by two shameless individuals who robbed him while masked!

What infuriated him even more was that these two actually used the Heavenly Immortal Finger against him!

Their Heavenly Immortal Finger was obviously learned from him, yet they dared to use it against him successfully!

With his intelligence, he naturally knew who had ambushed him, and thus he directly called out the names Chen Shi and Yang Bi.

At the Yang household, these two had been sneakily eyeing his Heavenly Immortal Finger with no good intentions!

"The two of you learned the Heavenly Immortal Finger from me, and now you use it against me—I've underestimated your brazen faces!"

Zhong Wuwang activated his Innate Dao Embryo, his aura surged, and he chased after the two, intending to fight them to the end.

Suddenly, Chen Shi burst into laughter, suddenly tearing off the black veil from his face, and laughed, "Er Niu, it was just a prank! How could we possibly steal your treasure for real?"

Seeing this, Yang Bi hesitated a little, but since Chen Shi had removed his veil, he had no choice but to do the same.

He still held that piece of dry bone in his hand, feeling a bit embarrassed. —After all, he hadn't done such things very often.

Zhong Wuwang hesitated upon seeing this and didn't attack, forcing a smile, "Since it was a prank, then this treasure..."

"Let's study it together," suggested Chen Shi.

Zhong Wuwang's eye twitched, his smile barely masking his inner frustration, "Alright. In that case, let's study it together."

Chen Shi set down the Blood Transformation Divine Saber.

The three gathered together to examine the piece of dry bone.

The dry bone was a section of the arm bone, with few remaining Witch Sacrificial Dao Patterns, many of which had been eroded, but it shared a lineage with the Dao Patterns on the Heavenly Immortal Finger and should have come from the same skeleton.

Chen Shi felt a slight stir in his heart and said, "Er Niu, where's the finger bone you found?"

Zhong Wuwang smirked and said, "You want to learn my Heavenly Immortal Finger?"

Chen Shi replied, "Now that you and I are working together, you're clearly outnumbered; if you can't offer more benefits, how can we cooperate?"

Zhong Wuwang was silent for a moment, then took out two finger bones.

The three studied the Witch Sacrificial Dao Patterns on these bones and each gained something.

Despair Slope was already researching Witch Sacrificial Dao Patterns from the Great Shang Period, and Chen Shi, as the Heavenly Pool Country Master, was not unfamiliar with various Witch Sacrificial Dao Patterns. Only Yang Bi had less exposure, making it a bit challenging for him.

However, all three chose to first memorize the Witch Sacrificial Dao Patterns, intending to slowly ponder over them in the future.

After all, deciphering complex Witch Sacrificial Dao Patterns was highly mentally draining, and a slight mistake could cause one to faint.

If any one of them fainted, the outcome would be grim.

Chen Shi quickly memorized the Dao Patterns on the arm bone and finger bones, while Yang Bi and Zhong Wuwang were still intently memorizing.

Chen Shi recalled the erased Dao Patterns on those Shang ancestors' skeletons he saw along the way and thought to himself, "Those Shang ancestors must have found the culprit for the cosmic changes, so they gathered the power of the Mysterious Bird Heavenly Court to confront it!"

He looked around, taking in the sight of countless bones.

The ancestors of the Great Shang besieged the root of the cosmic change here, expending all their strength, and all perished. The Mysterious Bird Heavenly Court was also shattered!

He sorted out the series of events in his mind.

More than three hundred thousand years ago, Huaxia Divine Continent, the Great Zhou waged war against the Shang, destroyed the Mysterious Bird Heavenly Court, and drove the remaining citizens of the Great Shang, exiling them into the Sea of Darkness. These Shang citizens became criminals, and their descendants were never allowed to return to the Divine Continent.

The Shang citizens drifted across the sea and found the West Bull New Continent, settling and thriving there for three hundred thousand years in peace. At that time, the sun and moon were still the actual sun and moon, and there were stars in the sky. The Shang citizens could cultivate and enhance themselves by drawing the Three Lights Qi from the sun, moon, and stars.

Thus, the Mysterious Bird Heavenly Court was re-established, the Great Shang Civilization continued, and many immortals were born, forming a small Immortal Court under the Mysterious Bird Heavenly Court, ruling over the West Bull New Continent.

Until the end of the Great Shang Era, just sixteen thousand years ago, evil suddenly descended.

The cosmic change first occurred on the sun; the sun of the West Bull New Continent was wrapped in flesh, its light was lost, followed by the moon being devoured, and stars in the distance gradually disappeared, rendering the starry sky dark. When evil invaded the West Bull New Continent, the immortals who had achieved Harmonization were the first to succumb to the cosmic change. Those who didn't succumb destroyed their Harmonized micro-worlds instantly, sealing themselves to prevent harming others.

At that time, the ancestors of the Mysterious Bird Heavenly Court did not succumb to the cosmic change, so they searched for the formidable foe and found the source of the cosmic change here.

They exerted their final strength, battling the source of the cosmic change, and ultimately all died in battle.

"The enemy was too powerful and undefeatable, so my father-in-law, Little Dun's father, the emperor of the Great Shang, sacrificed himself, becoming an Outer Heaven True God."

Chen Shi's eyes flickered. The next events, it seems, involve Little Dun's younger brother leading the remnants of Great Shang against evil, spirits, demons, disasters, and misfortunes of the world until one day, they clashed with Despair Slope. Little Dun's younger brother built a bronze wall to fend off invasions from Despair Slope, safeguarding the last Shang people, but in the end, the bronze wall was breached and they were killed by the Heavenly Venerate of Despair Slope.

The Heavenly Venerate erected the Wall of the Great Dao, sealing everything behind the bronze wall, forbidding anyone from entering, attempting to bury this segment of history.

What was unexpected was that their great battle tore through the void, creating the magnificent scenery of the Heavenly Waterfall and Heavenly Pond.

"The Outer Heaven True God is my father-in-law, so Despair Slope must be where he transformed into a True God, thus leaving behind the Universal Sacrifice of the Mysterious Bird Heavenly Court. The Universal Sacrifice in Despair Slope can offer power to the True God, making the True God's positive energy even more powerful."

Chen Shi blinked, thinking to himself, "In other words, Despair Slope is actually the place of my father-in-law's despair. He was utterly desperate; thus, he sacrificed his life, offering himself and transformed into the sun and moon, to illuminate the West Bull New Continent for the people of Great Shang. So, the Heavenly Dao immortals left behind at Despair Slope are actually courtiers of Great Shang, responsible for overseeing the operation of the True God."

He couldn't help but frown, feeling something was quite amiss.

"There's a problem with the functionality of Despair Slope!"

He suddenly awakened to the realization that Despair Slope is responsible for overseeing the True God's operation, and it's certainly not about deploying Heaven Listeners to monitor the world, nor eliminating outer deities that protect the common people, and definitely not about killing the True King to sacrifice the True King, nor is it to suppress all dissidence!

"The courtiers my father-in-law left behind would never kill my brother-in-law! Despair Slope is not just a bit off, it's hugely off course! Could it be that these courtiers have become ambitious, wanting to establish themselves as kings? Impossible, if that were the case, Despair Slope could have claimed kingship a long time ago."

He was perplexed and unable to understand why Despair Slope would do something so uncharacteristic?

At this moment, Zhong Wuwang's voice came: "I've noted it down."

A moment later, Yang Bi said, "I have also noted these Dao Patterns. How about you, Chen Zhenwang?"

Chen Shi didn't speak, continuing to stare at the finger bone, his mind becoming increasingly puzzled: "The Heavenly Venerate can communicate with the True God, conveying the True God's will. Does the True God truly have its own thoughts and ideas? The Heavenly Venerate not only has issues, but significant issues! And most importantly, where did the courtiers my father-in-law left go? Are they still at Despair Slope?"

Thinking of this, he said: "I've noted it down as well."

Zhong Wuwang sighed in relief, laughed: "It seems the difference between us is not very large. If you all had Innate Dao Embryos, you could be even quicker."

Chen Shi was nonchalant, said: "Wuwang Shixiong, how did you find this arm bone? Since there are these two bones here, then there must be other skeletons."

Upon hearing him call his name with the addition of 'Shixiong,' indicating seniority, Zhong Wuwang couldn't help but feel a bit self-satisfied, said: "This matter seems mysterious, but actually, once revealed, you will say it's too simple. I only need to activate the Witch Sacrificial Dao Pattern on the finger bone to obtain a sense of other limbs."

Chen Shi grabbed a finger bone, activated the Witch Sacrificial Dao Pattern on it. Upon seeing this, Zhong Wuwang said: "I have already searched this area thoroughly, there are no other skeletons."

Yang Bi picked up another finger bone and did the same.

Zhong Wuwang held the arm bone in his hand, thinking: "These two guys seem to trust no one."

Yang Bi carefully sensed and said: "Why would such a powerful being die here? Even the Heavenly Net Blood Transformation Divine Sword cannot cleave the Heavenly Immortal Finger, so who exactly killed him?"

Zhong Wuwang said: "There's always someone stronger. Whether it's the cultivation technique of Despair Slope, the heritage of Great Shang, or the spells of Great Ming, none are the highest Daoist skills, being broken is also normal."

They continued forward, sensing their surroundings.

The Da Shang Heavenly Court is extremely vast, they walked a long time and yet did not reach the end. But fortunately, they found more than a dozen bone fragments again.

At this moment, Chen Shi suddenly sensed several dozens of fragments, his heart pounding intensely.

Yang Bi and Zhong Wuwang also sensed these fragments, eyes widening with astonishment and then rushed towards those bone fragments.

When they arrived near those bone fragments, they couldn't help but be shocked by the scene before them.

Displayed before them were countless shattered pieces of flesh, radiating outward, exploding in all directions, coating countless fragments of the Da Shang Heavenly Court.

Surrounding them were holy and divine Immortal Dao rosy clouds, so sacred it gave one a sense of stepping into the ethereal Immortal Realm.

Simultaneously, waves of extremely potent Evil Qi surged in, mingling with the Immortal Dao, causing great unease.

This was a battle between Immortals and evil, an incredibly powerful Immortal, here in a life-and-death struggle with the culprit causing celestial chaos!

Chen Shi looked up, seeing the sky filled with rifts torn by Immortal Dao and evil powers, the sky's other side, a moon hung in the sky.

The moon was not the eye of the Outer Heaven True God but a moon filled with flesh and blood.

From here to the moon, a faintly visible line of flesh connected the two places, but at this moment, this evil flesh had already been shattered by Immortal Dao's attack!

From their perspective, they could also see the center of the moon, vaguely a massive crater.

The crater, endlessly vast, they could see at the base of the pit, flesh exploded in a radial pattern, it was roughly discernible that someone had collided with the moon, resulting in an explosion!

Yang Bi was unspeakably shocked, murmuring: "The strongest Immortal of Great Shang, right here, at the cost of the lives of all Divine in Great Shang's Heavenly Court and himself, vanquished the being that invaded West Bull New Continent."
