Above the Great Dao

Chen Tang thought for a moment and said: "Seven or eight of the Thirteen Families are also inaccessible. However, you can go, you're of the grandchild generation, somewhat distant yet close."

Chen Shi thought about it, feeling that going to Taihua Qing Palace couldn't ensure safety, so he decided to call upon Uncle Qing Yang.

Chen Shi found Qing Yang and told him about this matter. Qing Yang was very happy to hear this and urged him to set off quickly.

Chen Shi prepared his travel items, and Qing Yang smiled and said, "No need to prepare for me, I eat grass!"

Chen Shi put the daily necessities in the wooden cart, said a word to Chen Tang and Wu Qingyu, and when he turned back, he saw Qing Yang tying himself to the front of the cart and putting on the harness.

Chen Shi was dumbfounded and quickly said, "Uncle Qing Yang, you don't need to pull the cart! Quickly untie, the cart will run on its own!"

Qing Yang shook his head and said, "I like pulling the cart. You and Black Pot, sit tight."

Black Pot jumped onto the cart, and Chen Shi had to get on too, saying, "Uncle Qing Yang, we are traveling from the Little Heavenly Realms..."

Qing Yang handed him a small whip. Chen Shi was taken aback.

"Hoo—"

Qing Yang pulled the cart into the sky, and a fierce wind rushed toward them, threatening to tear the wooden cart apart!

Chen Shi and Black Pot clung tightly to the edge of the cart to avoid being thrown out.

The wooden cart felt that it couldn't withstand much more, so it quietly grew an arm, held Hua Gai, and activated it.

With a whoosh, Hua Gai unfolded, and its splendid light shone down, protecting the wooden cart. The fierce wind was kept outside, and Chen Shi and Black Pot breathed a sigh of relief.

"Whip me! Hurry, whip me!" Qing Yang shouted back.

Chen Shi looked ashen-faced, trembling with the little whip in hand, afraid to strike.

Qing Yang glanced back.

Chen Shi had no choice but to raise the whip and strike. With a snap, it landed on Qing Yang's rear, and Qing Yang roared, revealing his true form. Like a mountainous giant, lightning under his feet, eyes blazing with golden light, he soared through the sky.

Lightning crackled around the wooden cart, a thunderous effect generated by the intense friction between Hua Gai and the air. The wooden cart moved forward amidst the lightning towards Taihua Mountain. Even with Hua Gai shielding them, Chen Shi and Black Pot could hear the rumbling thunder.

Taihua Mountain was extremely distant, requiring travel over tens of thousands of miles. With his immense strength, Qing Yang could reach Taihua Mountain in merely half a day. Along the way, whether people living in the Mortal World or Evil Spirits, they all heard the rolling Thunder Sound in the sky. However, when they looked up, they could only see the tail left by lightning, unable to discern what left it.

If lucky, they could see the lightning rolling in the sky, with a gigantic Qing Yang galloping across the celestial dome above.

Taihua Mountain was in the heart of the West Bull New Continent. Back then, this place was heavily burdened with Demon Qi, with many Demons entrenched. Of the eighteen ancestral masters of Taihua Qing Palace who fought against demons, fifteen died, leaving only three, finally establishing a foothold in this great mountain.

Later, the True King bestowed this mountain, naming it New Continent Taihua Mountain. From then on, the Taoist legacy of Taihua Qing Palace was truly established.

However, Qing Yang rarely got the chance to have fun. Nearing Taihua Mountain, he stopped, without entering the mountain, and instead, pulled the wooden cart through twists and turns into a range of mountains.

After a while, the cart stopped in front of a bunch of graves, Chen Shi and Black Pot took a break, and Chen Shi felt his legs getting weak, while Black Pot was shivering. Qing Yang jumped onto a grave, bent down to munch on the grave grass, quickly clearing a grave of its grass.

"The grave grass is tender and hearty, the roots absorbed lots of nutrients!"

Qing Yang said to Black Pot, "Wanna try? It's delicious."

Black Pot doubted, took a taste, and its eyes lit up, finding it crisp and tasty.

Chen Shi took out incense and offered it at the eaten graves, to avoid angering the spirits within.

Qing Yang and Black Pot munched on several graves until they were full. Qing Yang leaned against a grave, squinting, crossing his legs, propping his front hooves behind his head, chewing slowly to ruminate, and said: "Little Ten, burn some incense for me too for digestion."

Chen Shi burned incense for him.

Qing Yang, while absorbing the incense, continued ruminating, very content, as if about to sleep.

Black Pot, with a bulging belly, indicated to Chen Shi to light two sticks for itself too.

Chen Shi lit incense for it. Suddenly, he felt something and looked towards the nearby mountain, seeing there a burst of rosy clouds shooting up, with numerous temples and halls standing, thinking that must be Taihua Qing Palace.

"Uncle Qing Yang, do you know the Innocent Taoist?" Chen Shi asked.

Qing Yang opened his eyes, thought for a moment, then shook his head: "Don't know. What did he do?"

Chen Shi said, "He was the Daoist boy who maintained the pill furnace for the True Yang Patriarch during the True King Era. His path followed the cultivation system of the True King Era passed down from the Huaxia Divine Continent. Just as he was about to Ascend, he was killed. I encountered the remnants of his consciousness after death, and he passed on his Yin Yang Refining technique to me to purify Evil Qi."

He activated the Yin Yang Refining, a bright moon and a great sun appeared in his Primordial Spirit Arena, circling him. Emitting Yin Yang energy, whenever the sun and moon got close, it was the moment of Yin Yang fusion. As the sun and moon cycled, Yin Yang refinement occurred, purifying the Evil Qi within Chen Shi.

Qing Yang was extremely surprised, sat up, observed his Yin Yang Refining carefully, and said: "This skill is truly remarkable. Within Taihua Qing Palace, it's a first-class ability! Since he could refine Evil Qi and prevent Evil Transformation, why was he killed?"

Chen Shi shook his head and said, "His Yin Yang Refining had essentially resolved the Evil Transformation from Unification Realm to Ascension Realm."

Qing Yang frowned, pulled some grass from a grave and stuffed it into his mouth, while munching, he pondered: "Why kill him? Letting him live, to continue researching how to resolve Evil Transformation, wouldn't it be better?"

Chen Shi said, "I also have this doubt. He was killed by the True Martial Evil Extermination Sword and still holds an unresolved grievance, wanting to return this sword and wishes to be buried at Taihua Mountain."
