Above the Great Dao

"This is the Upper Realm, all are gods here, there's no place for killing. I can't even defeat these gods..."

Chen Shi sighed with regret, activated the First New Talisman, silently recited the Divine Language, and the Thunder Light within his body continuously exploded, gliding along his bones, repeatedly tempering them.

He reconnected the broken bones; the fractured places were certainly not sturdy. Diligent cultivation was required to restore them to their former state.

It must be said, the First New Talisman was indeed a Holy Method for Body Refining. By the second day, Chen Shi noticed that the sturdiness of his bones was no different from before.

He thought to himself, "Back then, I studied the patterns on the Heaven Measuring Iron Ruler, copied them down, but due to overthinking, I fell asleep. When I woke up, I found that four new symbols were drawn on four sheets of paper. Since it wasn't my father or grandfather who drew them, there's only one possibility left."

His eyes sparkled brightly, and he breathed a bit heavily, hurriedly entering the small temple and looked the White-clothed Fairy up and down.

The White-clothed Fairy shrank in the corner of the Divine Shrine, watched him warily, gesturing repeatedly, speaking "ah bah ah bah," very anxiously.

Chen Shi understood, she was saying, your body isn't healed yet, don't be so hasty. What if you get injured again?

Chen Shi laughed, "Earlier, I was controlled by Peng Jue and had inappropriate thoughts about you, but this time, I'm not here for that."

He fetched the Heaven Measuring Iron Ruler placed in the corner of the wall, pointed at the patterns on it, and laughed, "Do you understand this?"

The White-clothed Fairy nodded lightly.

Chen Shi was overwhelmingly excited, immediately grabbed paper and pen, and laughed, "If you decipher all the patterns on the Iron Ruler, I won't hold you accountable for injuring me."

The White-clothed Fairy came down from the Divine Shrine, took the paper and pen, and, referencing the patterns on the Heaven Measuring Iron Ruler, deciphered the patterns into intricate and complex Talismans. Apart from the four New Talismans Chen Shi had seen before, there were five other New Talismans.

However, deciphering these patterns seemed to be taxing for the White-clothed Fairy. Her speed of deciphering slowed increasingly, especially with the later patterns, taking more and more time.

When the last pattern was deciphered, she yawned and drowsily fell asleep.

Seeing this, Chen Shi picked her up, instead of placing her back on the Divine Shrine, he walked out of the small temple, returned to his room, and placed the girl on the bed, covering her with a blanket.

He leaned in to see the beautiful face of the Fairy and surprisingly didn't feel any sense of desecration, puzzled in his heart, "Could it be that in the underworld, at night, Peng Jue left the Yuan Chen Palace to report me to King Yan?"

He tucked her in properly, got up, walked out of the room, and entered the courtyard outside.

He mobilized his Primordial Spirit, studying those five New Talismans in the small temple.

When his gaze fell on the Fifth New Talisman, Divine Language emerged in his mind instantly, and he began to recite, vast and weighty.

"Ancestor Qi forth born, auxiliary Qi follows the aster. Dippers shift with time, Qi rotates with Kui aster. Front for Yin, back for Yang. Profound eyes red, two Qi soar high, from heaven descend, unite with my true light."

Chen Shi only felt the Qi-Blood within him rise with the recitation, moving along a strange route.

"Hum!"

His Primordial Spirit Arena spread out, and Beidou and Southern Dipper images appeared within, so-called Ancestor Qi was forming within the arena, spiraling around the stars.

Chen Shi was overwhelmingly surprised, the earlier four New Talismans were mostly Thunder Law, some tempered the physical body and Primordial Spirit, some refined the Pure Yang Body, some controlled thunder for travel, the Fourth New Talisman was the Circulation Fire Realm, used to sacrifice and raise the Heaven Measuring Iron Ruler. He initially thought the latter new talismans were also Thunder Law-related, but this seemed like an art to guide Qi cultivation!

When the Divine Language was recited once, the stars shifted within his Primordial Spirit Arena, forming Yin Yang Qi, descending from heaven into his body, making him feel an indescribable comfort.

"This is a Cultivation Technique, but it seems incomplete. However, beginning with an arena is exceptionally astonishing!"

Chen Shi then looked at the Sixth New Talisman, and Divine Language echoed again in his ears, his breath moved accordingly, and the Primordial Spirit, Arena, and physical body suddenly merged, the stars of Southern and Northern Dipper imprinted on his chest and back, Yin Yang Qi continuously refined within him!

When the Primordial Spirit Arena and physical body became one, the changes in the arena within the Fifth New Talisman now evolved within his body!

Chen Shi could even feel the Ancestor Qi within, the shifting stars, and the physical sensations they brought!

"This Cultivation Technique seems stronger than Xiaolang's Emperor Chapter Skill!"

He looked at the Seventh New Charm, and with the rising Divine Language, it seemed as if heaven and earth were about to open within Chen Shi's body, an immense force erupted, aiming to open a physical Great Realm within the void of his body!

"Not good! The Seventh New Charm is a technique to open the Void Great Realm!"

Chen Shi attempted to stop but suddenly felt all his Qi-Blood being drained at once, the power of Primordial Spirit, arena, instantly sapped completely dry!

He didn't even let out a groan, everything went black, and he fell straight to the ground.

The Divine Language of the Seventh New Charm dissipated immediately, the force capable of splitting heaven and earth also dissipated.

In the depths of the Upper Realm, ancestral figures from the Thirteen Families awakened one by one, each looking towards Bai Lang Palace.

"The fluctuation of the Immortal Technique!"

"And it vanished again!"

They were filled with doubt.

After a long time, Chen Shi slowly awoke, finding himself lying in a sickbed, next to the still slumbering White-clothed Fairy.

"How am I here?"

He tried to get up, but felt weak all over, his head splitting with pain, and couldn't help but groan softly.

Chen Shi checked himself, finding his cultivation nearly vanished, his Qi-Blood depleted, and his Primordial Spirit weaker than ever before.

Li Qianyun's voice came from outside, "Chen top scorer has awoken?"

The woman quickly entered the room, seeing Chen Shi sitting up, rushed forward to support him, saying, "I came to visit, only to find you fainted in the courtyard, so I took the liberty of placing you on the bed. No need to thank me."
