Above the Great Dao

Chen Shi and Wen Wuyu rode the wind, drifting along, with the lake and mountain scenery of the Heavenly Pond beneath their feet. Although it was the underworld, the landscape had its own unique charm.

They couldn't fly too high, as flying too high would easily attract demons lurking in the darkness, nor could they stray off the path, as straying off the path might lead them into the territory of other powerful ghostly beings of lord level.

These were extremely dangerous beings within the Yin Mountain, and if one was not careful, their life could be at stake. They wouldn't care if you were the King or not.

"Are there really Immortals in this world?" Accompanied by a beautiful companion, Chen Shi found himself lost in thought.

Immortals, who are sustained by the elements, existing independently of the world, only appear in the writings of poets and scholars; no one has ever seen them.

Even in the Mortal World, Immortals have never been seen, so how could there truly be Immortals in a place like the underworld?

Compared to these elusive legends, Chen Shi felt that the woman in white living in the small temple was more like an Immortal.

She neither ate nor slept and had an aura that refreshed the spirit. Whenever she sat on the divine shrine in the small temple, Chen Shi always felt a sense of peace in his heart, and his cultivation became extraordinarily pure.

"Moreover, she could remove the Evil Qi from me, temporarily halting my evil transformation," Chen Shi thought to himself.

A few days ago, he had entrusted the Red Mountain Hall Talisman Master Association to investigate various places to see if they could find the relatives of the woman in white, but there had been no news.

Chen Shi and Wen Wuyu left the Heavenly Pond, flying over Infinite Cliff, gradually moving away.

Suddenly, Wen Wuyu descended, her form changing, and in a short time, she transformed from a youthful maiden into a little Bull Head ghost with two blunt little horns on her head.

She was no more than two feet tall and walked quickly ahead of Chen Shi.

This girl's backside had a bull tail, with fine and dense hair at the front end of the tail and thicker, longer hair at the back end.

She came upon a village of the Bull Head Ghost Clan and asked a Bull Head woman for directions: "Guaji, guaji?"

The Bull Head woman pointed with her hoof towards a distant mountain dell: "Guaji."

Wen Wuyu bowed to the Bull Head woman in thanks and quietly said to Chen Shi as they headed towards the mountain dell: "She said the place where the Immortal Light burst forth is just ahead!"

Following her, Chen Shi curiously touched her swinging bull tail.

Wen Wuyu stopped and looked back at him, both shy and angry: "Touch it again, and I'll smack you!"

Chen Shi replied sheepishly: "I saw it swing, so I wanted to touch it..."

Wen Wuyu gave a humph and continued walking forward.

When he saw that tail swing again, Chen Shi, as if controlled by a mysterious urge, reached out and touched it once more.

Wen Wuyu, feeling humiliated and angry, turned to charge at him, yelling: "I'll fight you! I'll goring you with my horns!"

Chen Shi hurriedly grabbed her horns, begging repeatedly for mercy: "Sister Wuyu, please spare me!"

Only then did Wen Wuyu relent, her eyes twinkling as she proposed: "You're the King of the Heavenly Pond Country, and you've offended quite a few people. Those in the Heavenly Pond Country who want your life could line up from here to the Royal Palace. With the Immortals revealing themselves this time, many are sure to seek them out. Transform into a little Bull Head too, and it'll make things easier for us."

Chen Shi thought for a moment. Whenever he ventured out, many ghostly beings clamored to kill the foolish king, only to rush forward to meet their doom. It truly was a hassle.

He immediately activated his Transformation Skill, turning into a little Bull Head ghost.

The Bull Head ghost he turned into was also no more than two feet tall, with a bull tail at his rear.

As the transformation was completed, Chen Shi marveled at the sensation, feeling a new limb on himself, this tail, always wanting to swing it.

Wen Wuyu reached out and caught his tail, chuckling: "That's for touching my tail! Now I've got yours!"

Chen Shi felt his tail stiffen and, feeling uncomfortable, reached out to grab her tail.

Wen Wuyu quickly sidestepped, causing Chen Shi to lower his head and charge, the blunt horns lifting her up and flipping her to the ground.

Wen Wuyu grabbed his tail, pulling him down.

The two little Bull Head ghosts lay on the ground, each grabbing the other's tail, neither giving in.

Chen Shi, relying on his strength, pinned her beneath him, and Wen Wuyu endeavored to press back against him with her horns, prompting Chen Shi to do the same with his horns.

Their heads bumped together, with Chen Shi pinning her down, freeing one hand to grab her tail.

"Got it!"

Chen Shi grabbed her tail, letting out a cheer. Wen Wuyu suddenly stopped resisting, leaving Chen Shi taken aback, seeing the little Bull Head ghost beneath him appearing somewhat shy. The four eyes of the two Bull Head ghosts locked, and Chen Shi suddenly felt his mouth dry and his heart racing, experiencing an unusual sensation.

Far away in the Immortal City, the Lower Corpse God Peng Jue was surely messing with my Heart Spirit again. He thought to himself.

Chen Shi hesitated for a moment, then released her bull tail and flipped over to sit on the adjacent ground.

Wen Wuyu propped herself up with both hands, her clothes a bit disheveled. She hurriedly sat up to straighten her clothes, keeping her head down without speaking, while casting him a sneaky glance and quietly tidying her own bull tail.

Chen Shi's heart pounded uncontrollably, unsure of how to break the silence.

"Two little bull hooves, carrying on a romance in the broad daylight!"

A gruff voice broke the silence, causing Chen Shi and Wen Wuyu to blush as they hurriedly stood up, only to see a procession of over ten ghostly beings approaching, led by Crown Prince Xiang Kun.

Crown Prince Xiang Kun stood about three zhang tall, robust and mighty, with the body of an elephant and two pure white tusks resembling tiny ivory sculptures.

Accompanying him were other young elites from the Ghost Clan, including a woman from the Shura Clan, a stunning beauty approximately one zhang and six or seven tall, dressed in very little with brightly colored fabric wrapped around her chest.

She also had a colorful cloth skirt tied at her waist, with bells hanging from both her wrists and ankles, and a little silver bell pierced into her left nostril.
