Above the Great Dao

Chapter 534: Lifting Mountains and Rivers


Little Dun Fairy was inexplicably shocked and asked, "The world I just saw, was it created by you?"

She found it hard to believe.

When did Chen Shi's divine skills become so extensive? He could let her inadvertently enter the Void Great Realm without realizing it, and even make it impossible for her to leave the Void Great Realm!

Could it be that Chen Shi has already become an Immortal?

Chen Shi stood up and smiled, "I only managed to create the world with the Yin Yang Qi from the Flask of Yin and Yang Essence. It is the power of the jade bottle, not my own ability."

In his hand, the mountains, rivers, and sun and moon from the Flask of Yin and Yang Essence appeared increasingly clear against the bottle's wall, as if the sun, moon, mountains, and rivers rested in his palm.

"The owner of the jade bottle must be an expert from the Buddhist sect, but the Yin Yang Qi is the expertise of the Taoist sect. This person is not of the Taoist sect, yet they managed to cultivate this treasure to an astonishing level, truly admirable. What I did was simply to use the power of the jade bottle to imprint my understanding of the Yin Yang Skill on the bottle." Chen Shi said humbly.

Expertise in different fields.

The owner of the Flask of Yin and Yang Essence had an unparalleled mastery of Yin and Yang harmonization, but when it came to the creation of all things from Yin and Yang, it was not as formidable as Chen Shi's understanding.

Little Dun Fairy smiled and said, "Even if it's not your power, it is still remarkable. You are able to fill in the gaps of the Immortal Family, which shows that your Daoist Practice is already very profound. What you lack now is just cultivation."

Chen Shi shook his head and said, "Lacking in cultivation makes it difficult to triumph. After becoming a True King, I felt burdened by paperwork and trivial concerns that disrupted my cultivation progress. I once told Yang Bi, that for us cultivators, all great power returns to oneself. I used this to admonish Yang Bi, urging him not to be distracted. Yet now, I myself am forced to be distracted by state affairs, unable to focus my Heart Spirit for cultivation."

Little Dun Fairy walked to his side, studying the jade bottle, and smiled, "No wonder Lord Hu could never find you. In your absence, she's been overwhelmed and has prepared many memorials waiting for you to review."

Chen Shi shook his head and said, "The mistakes Yang Bi made, I don't want to repeat. Without eliminating the Heavenly Venerate, I can't set my mind at ease as the True King."

He activated the Flask of Yin and Yang Essence, and stars poured out from the bottle, the Star River flowing, then the world gradually arose with white clouds vast and sun and moon appearing together, mountains, lands, and seas magically flew out from the bottle, forming a reflected world above them.

Chen Shi reached out, taking Little Dun Fairy's hand and soared up, landing in the world created by the Flask of Yin and Yang Essence. Little Dun Fairy did not pull away, allowing him to lead her as they gracefully flew.

They traveled through seas and mountains, journeying through the sun, moon, and stars, eventually settling on the clouds, the two of them sitting cross-legged, overlooking the world.

Below, white clouds and coursing animals, above, sun and moon shifting, beneath, seas turning into mulberry fields.

Little Dun Fairy turned her head to observe the young man beside her, seeing Chen Shi, although holding her hand, his gaze was focused on the transformations of the sea and land.

She felt a pang in her heart: "Even now, he's still pondering Yin and Yang changes."

Chen Shi observed the changes of this world to find out if the Yin Yang Transformation of this realm had any flaws.

If there were flaws in the world's operation, then during confrontation, the enemy might detect and exploit them to escape.

He and Little Dun Fairy roamed this world, constantly examining the evolution of the sun, moon, and stars, searching for imperfections.

Little Dun Fairy also gradually became influenced by him, wholly dedicating herself to the search for flaws.

The two of them, focused and undistracted, occasionally silent, sometimes exchanging discoveries and proposing improvements, then Chen Shi would act, making the imprints more perfect.

"Your Majesty, I think we should leave a flaw." Little Dun Fairy suddenly said.

Chen Shi was stunned, looking at her with confusion.

Little Dun Fairy hesitated for a moment, "A treasure like the Flask of Yin and Yang Essence, its power is exceedingly strong, it doesn't seem like something that should remain in the Mortal World. Yet it appears in the Mortal World and ended up in a place like the West Bull New Continent, a land of exile. Considering the cultivation strength of the jade bottle's owner, can't he really sense his own treasure?"

Chen Shi's heart stirred slightly: "You mean, the jade bottle's owner intentionally sent the bottle to the Mortal World, attempting to use it through someone else to complete his Daoist Skill? Or he may have other intentions, possibly with ulterior motives?"

Little Dun Fairy gently nodded: "You just said that this person, clearly employing Buddhist methods, yet using the Taoist Yin Yang Qi to refine the treasure, his magical treasure's power is immense yet greatly lacks. I just felt that this person might be doing this intentionally, placing this treasure into the Mortal World, and using the wisdom of others to fulfill his own Daoist Skill. He might be using this way to steal your Cultivation Technique."

Chen Shi thought for a moment, then smiled, "What you said makes sense. However, I still do my best to fill in the missing parts of the Flask of Yin and Yang Essence."

Little Dun Fairy asked, "Since you know he has intentions to use this, why do you still help him?"

Chen Shi smiled, "Keeping an altruistic heart and providing convenience to others isn't necessarily a bad thing. If we are unable to correct the flaws in the jade bottle, we might not be able to deal with the Heavenly Venerate. If at a life-and-death moment, because of this we fail miserably, wouldn't that be a lifelong regret?"

Little Dun Fairy pondered for a moment, then smiled, "I was being narrow-minded."

Chen Shi, holding her hand, flew out of the world, and they landed on Heaven Measuring Cliff.

Chen Shi held the jade bottle, overturned it, and that vast world immediately turned over, merging with Qianyang Mountain, saying, "When the Flask of Yin and Yang Essence is overturned, it can become a sea of fire, trapping the enemy. Then, when you lift the bottle, you can capture the sea of fire along with the enemy into the bottle. I tried before; the world in the bottle is not formed by the Yin Yang Qi, so when capturing someone, if the enemy's cultivation surpasses one's own, then it is highly possible that we cannot capture the enemy into the bottle, thus providing escape opportunities."

He supplemented the creation of all things from Yin and Yang and evolved the world inside the bottle. When capturing someone again, once they are absorbed into the world formed by the Yin Yang Qi, it's almost impossible for them to escape.

Chen Shi raised the jade bottle, Qianyang Mountains rumbled, as if about to be lifted by him!

Both Chen Shi and Little Dun Fairy were startled, Chen Shi quickly withdrew the Yin Yang Qi, not daring to try again.

At the same time, Qianyang Mountain Lord, Great Snake Xuan Shan, Chen Yindou, Granny Zhuang, Wuwang City Lord, and other experts were startled by this action, they rose and activated their Primordial Spirits, searching for the culprit everywhere.

Yet, after searching all around, they found nothing.

Stone Rock Lady flew over, calling from afar, "I sensed terrifying immortal power turbulence here from the Imperial Capital! What happened?"

Qianyang Mountain Lord said, "Someone has sacrificed a powerful immortal artifact, almost uprooting the entire Qianyang mountain range! We came to search but haven't found the culprit."

Stone Rock Lady was shocked, muttering, "What kind of immortal artifact is this powerful?"

Chen Shi and Little Dun Fairy were currently hiding on the Purple Heaven Vine at the central small temple, concealed beneath the vine leaves, their hearts pounding. Although they were the True King and True Queen, they were anxious and fearful of being discovered by their subjects.

Little Dun Fairy secretly peeked out, only to see Stone Rock Lady fly past overhead without noticing them, finally allowing herself to breathe a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Can'er's voice came from the Fusang tree: "I just saw brother and sister-in-law holding hands on the cliff, sacrificing a white jade bottle."

Chen Shi's heart skipped a beat: "Even Can'er saw us!"

Stone Rock Lady's voice came, "Where did your brother and sister-in-law go? Those two rascals, causing trouble, find them, they must be taught a lesson!"

She didn't know the brother and sister-in-law Can'er was talking about were actually Chen Shi and Little Dun Fairy.

"They were just here, vanished in the blink of an eye."

Can'er said, "They must know they've caused trouble, so they hid."

After Stone Rock Lady and the others had finished searching, Chen Shi and Little Dun Fairy exchanged smiles and finally emerged from beneath the vine leaves.

Chen Shi lay on the vine leaves, which were as large as an acre, lying atop them with no worry of falling off.

Little Dun Fairy initially planned to leave but saw many ginseng grass dolls lying on the vine leaves sunbathing, comfortable and snug.

She lay down too, right next to Chen Shi, looking up to see the sunlight dazzlingly bright.

This sunlight was shining from the temple; although the Purple Heaven Vine was very tall, the temple appeared vast, like the heavens. The sunlight from the temple happened to illuminate the Purple Heaven Vine.

Chen Shi turned his head to look at her; Little Dun Fairy gazed at the temple sun, lost in thought.

"The sunlight from the temple is the ancestral land's sunlight. We merchants are sinners, exiled and never able to return to Huaxia Divine Continent."

Little Dun Fairy relaxed, her face softening into a smile, speaking gently, "I lie here beneath the sunlight, as if crossing the Dark Sea, back to the ancestral land. That's where my ancestors lived, even the sun feels so beautiful."

She reached out to the sunlight, her fingers appearing crystalline, radiating a ruby-like glow, tender and fresh under the sunlight.

Chen Shi had seen her try to return to the ancestral land; at that time, Little Dun Fairy passed through the small temple's sunlight as if stepping into Huaxia Divine Continent's time-space, yet due to a mark imprinted into her lineage, forming a huge 'Sin' character, she was pushed back into the small temple.

Great Zhou employed a witch sacrificial Dao Pattern-like method, branding each Great Shang citizen's lineage with the 'Sin' character representing guilt. They, along with their descendants, would forever carry this mark and never return to the homeland.

Chen Shi turned, palm resting beneath his cheek, looking at her, suggesting, "After Heavenly Venerate is defeated, let's set sail; I'll take you to seek Huaxia Divine Continent. You're the True Queen, I'm the True King; I don't believe, once in Huaxia Divine Continent, Emperor Jiajing won't let us land!"

Little Dun Fairy blushed slightly, feeling as if she was going to meet his parents, said, "Do you think Emperor Jiajing is still alive?"

Chen Shi thought for a moment, "Probably still alive? I heard from Scholar Zhu, Emperor Jiajing is Emperor Wan Shou, True Monarch Feiyuan, listening to the name, more than likely not worse than an Immortal Monarch, surely still being the emperor."

Little Dun Fairy turned sideways, exhaling orchid fragrance, "West Bull New Continent has lost contact with Divine Continent for over six thousand years, would Emperor Jiajing still recognize West Bull New Continent's True King?"

"It's best he doesn't."

Chen Shi laughed, "Then we can rightfully become Emperor and Empress."

Little Dun Fairy laughed aloud, worried that her laughter was too loud and might alert Stone Rock, Xuan Shan and others. Chen Shi chuckled, "Guess, have they left? I suspect they're still wandering outside... hmm hm..."

Little Dun Fairy kissed him on the lips, leaving Chen Shi momentarily stunned, staring at the fairy before him.

Little Dun Fairy's eyes sparkled, she kissed him again.

Chen Shi, uninhibitedly responding, received an even more intense reaction from her.

Chen Shi freed a hand, wrapped it around Little Dun's waist, pulled her close. Little Dun Fairy resisted, flipped him beneath, cradled his head, kissed him deeply.

Chen Shi, dizzy and dazed, enjoyed a moment then suddenly remembered his identity as a True King, flipping her down.

Though the vine leaves were enormous, the shift in center of gravity caused them to lean to one side, unable to maintain balance.

The vine's swaying was somewhat pronounced, alarming the spiritual medicine dolls sunbathing on other vine leaves; they crawled to the edge, peering down, watching as the couple tumbled off one side, landing ten yards below on another set of vine leaves.

The spiritual medicine dolls couldn't see clearly, hurriedly scurrying to the opposite side, only to see Chen Shi and Little Dun Fairy fall off that vine leaf too, landing on yet another vine leaf.

The spiritual medicine dolls dashed back and forth on the vine leaves, watching as the couple seemed out of control, rolling across various vine leaves, leaving them uncertain of the duo's actions.

The Purple Heaven Vine swayed, but the vines plunged into the void, remaining stable.
