Above the Great Dao

"The moment you descended from the heavens, the old King died, clearly to make way for you!"

Lei Qu quickly said, "You can still command the Stone Rock Lady, invoke the divine artifact left by our ancestors, making the treasures of all clans unusable! If this isn't destiny, then what is? It's the arrangement of the heavens! The era of darkness is finally about to pass!"

Chen Shi felt a headache, and hearing Lei Qu put it this way, he realized it could indeed be interpreted like that.

"Think whatever you like." He mused silently.

The Heavenly Pool Country Master is just a figurehead; each clan handles its own affairs, and only when they can't resolve them do they ask the King to step in.

The King doesn't need to attend court regularly, nor does he need to worry about every matter. Internal affairs are handed over to Sang Xixi and Peng Yan'er, while foreign affairs are handled by the Prime Minister.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Shi spoke frankly, "Clan Leader Lei, I cannot stay in the underworld forever. Once my matters are resolved, I will surely return to the mortal world. I can teach you the Blood Lake Scripture, and I can help decode the cultivation techniques of your clans or even impart the Divine Language to you. Then, you can choose a new King yourselves."

Lei Qu's expression changed slightly, and he quickly said, "Your Majesty, do not be hasty in transmitting the Blood Lake Scripture! If the Blood Lake Scripture is spread, Heavenly Pond Country would be finished! The other clans' cultivation techniques must not be hastily deciphered or disseminated either; if they are spread, it would be disastrous! Your Majesty needs extraordinary courage and strength to suppress the experts of the clans, only then can spreading them not incite chaos!"

Chen Shi thought for a moment, if the Blood Lake Scripture were spread, ghosts and gods practicing this technique would definitely cause great slaughter. And if the other ghost clan cultivation techniques are spread, the danger would be even greater. With such formidable power, the desire for power would be sown, and Heavenly Pond Country would inevitably fall apart, with war breaking out.

"But once the demon within me is removed, I will return to the mortal world." Chen Shi thought to himself.

Lei Qu was unaware of his thoughts, and smiled, "Your Majesty, having just ascended the throne, there is still one thing this old minister has not reported. Your Majesty's harem is still without beauties, so we plan to select female ghost clan members from among our clans, those who are poised, gentle-natured, and elegant, to be sent to the palace and fill the harem..."

Chen Shi looked carefully at his features, resembling those of the Big Belly Clan, Green Evil Clan, and other clans, thinking the women of each clan should be similar, and involuntarily shivered.

"Clan Leader, please look."

Chen Shi opened his cloak, revealing his entire skeleton, and said, "Do you think I still need beauties for my harem?"

Lei Qu realized, and couldn't help but wear a troubled expression, thinking, "All previous clan interactions with the King were maintained like this, but it seems the Skull Ghost Clan indeed doesn't need harem beauties..."

After Lei Qu departed, Chen Shi continued sitting on the throne, cultivating the Blood Lake Scripture, refining one drop of Divine Blood after another.

His Blood Lake Hell grew increasingly massive, and his soul became increasingly strong. Within a few days, the lake's surface reached over ten miles, yet it was still a long way from the Blood Sea Realm.

This skeleton body also grew increasingly powerful, the aura it emitted becoming more and more astonishing, even giving people a strong sense of pressure!

Chen Shi wasn't sure about the strength of this skeleton body.

The advancement of the Blood Lake Scripture was so rapid that it was difficult to measure according to the realm system of the mortal world.

That day, Chen Shi rested his head on the lap of the White-clothed Fairy, who was gently caressing his skull, and Chen Shi felt extremely comfortable, drowsy.

Since possessing the skeleton, he was no longer influenced by Peng Jue and felt a purity within his heart, even when resting his head on the girl's lap, he wouldn't have improper thoughts.

Just then, a powerful summoning force suddenly came over Chen Shi, and he thought to himself, "Grandmother is summoning me back!"

He hurriedly got up, leaving the Stone Rock Lady in the palace, and said, "Stone, you stay here and guard my realm! I'll be right back!"

"Whoosh—"

His Primordial Spirit flew away, disappearing without a trace.

Stone Rock Lady looked over, only to see Chen Shi's skeleton sitting there, mechanically driving the Blood Lake Scripture, cultivating on its own, while the Blood Lake Hell behind continued to expand.
