Above the Great Dao

In the fractured world, the ancestors of the Thirteen Families had their attention drawn to Chen Shi and Yang Bi, watching the two intently from afar.

Not only them, but nearly two thousand divine beings from the Upper Realm were also looking over at this moment, their previously calm expressions showing subtle changes.

Xia Tianjie was still healing from injuries; he had been severely wounded by "Li Tianqing" earlier, and before recovering, he was almost turned into an Evil Spirit by an attack from an Immortal Head invasion.

He had just recovered from the Evil Spirit's influence and noticed the abnormality of the colossal divine beings.

Xia Tianjie's eyes brightened, and he blurted out: "Yang Bi and Chen Shi are about to engage!"

His heart surged with excitement, and he struggled to walk out of the palace, but every step tugged at his wounds, causing him to grimace in pain.

His injuries were severe, and being far from the battle site, he felt anxious but powerless.

At this moment, a colossal divine being leisurely flew past him, and Xia Tianjie saw Ma Zhe, Gao Shaokun, and others standing on its shoulder, waving at him.

Gritting his teeth and enduring the pain, Xia Tianjie flew up to the divine being, stumbling onto its shoulder.

The space was vast, akin to a mountain peak, with no worry of falling off.

Zhai Yuanyuan, Cui Xingcai, and others were also on the divine being's shoulder, which flew towards a vantage point and paused there.

Everyone could hardly conceal their excitement, having seen Chen Shi in action before, though he merely mimicked Li Tianqing, not revealing his true power.

Now that Chen Shi was fully recovered, he would undoubtedly unleash his full strength this time!

They had never seen Yang Bi in action either.

Yang Bi had received personal teachings from the thirteen ancestors, mastering the Thirteen Families' martial arts. The ancestors spoke highly of him, considering him the foremost of the Thirteen Families in six thousand years.

Disciples of the Thirteen Families already achieved greatness by mastering their family's cultivation technique, but mastering all thirteen families' techniques was astonishing. For Xia Tianjie and the others, understanding and integrating all the techniques was like becoming a Heavenly Person!

In their eyes, Yang Bi typically neglected cultivation, busily engaged in various activities, occasionally retreating for a few days to astound everyone.

Now, they could finally witness Yang Bi's true power.

Meanwhile, in Huangpo Village, Chen Tang glanced back inadvertently and was stunned.

A sea of gods filled his sight, yet they were not looking at him, each turning towards the same direction.

His heart trembled slightly, understanding why these divine beings shifted their focus.

"Little Ten, is it your duel with Yang Bi that has begun?"

Upper Realm.

Xia Tianjie and others, being relatively close, faintly heard a melodious tone, clear and subtle, not distinct.

The tone seemed to emanate from the distant heavens, ethereal and transcendent, carrying the mystical air of Immortals.

They looked up, searching for the source, vaguely seeing Immortal Light in the sky, where it seemed someone strummed a zither amid the clouds.

But the music was so faint that without careful listening, it was virtually inaudible.

Yang Bi stood in the air, a gentle breeze sweeping his long robe to flutter behind him.

He stood firm in the wind, young and full of vitality, at the age of seventeen or eighteen.

Suddenly, his index finger moved slightly.

The space around Chen Shi shook violently, blurring the vision and making Chen Shi indistinct.

"Zheng!"

A strand of zither music echoed, continuous and profound.

Chen Shi looked up in surprise towards the direction of the zither's sound.

Above the Immortal Light, it was not a person playing the zither, but a Talisman. The Talisman glowed brilliantly, resembling an Immortal playing the zither.

"Jade Emperor Nine Heavens Chart?"

His heart trembled; the Jade Emperor Nine Heavens Chart was an Immortal Law recorded in the True King's Tomb Book Pavilion!

He once entered the True King's Tomb Book Pavilion, opened the "Jade Emperor Nine Heavens Chart," but soon fainted due to severe mental exhaustion!

The True King's Tomb Book Pavilion contained many texts similar to the Jade Emperor Nine Heavens Chart, watching them drained one's Heart Spirit, causing Chen Shi to faint repeatedly.

Eventually, he chose Xiaolang's Emperor Chapter Skill.

Although Xiaolang's Emperor Chapter Skill was an Immortal Level Technique, it was significantly lesser than the "Jade Emperor Nine Heavens Chart," allowing him to view the entire book and memorize it forcibly.

Though he hadn't perused the entire Jade Emperor Nine Heavens Chart, he used his formidable memory to recall snippets of it.

The zither music was precisely the attack method of the Jade Emperor Nine Heavens Chart!

Space vibrated, and invisible blades flew with the zither's sound, Chen Shi's pupils constricted. Around him, mountain and marsh surged, revealing massive Trigrams: Qian, Kun, Xun, Zhen, Kan, Li, Gen, Dui, arranged as Eight Trigrams. The Eight Trigrams combined in pairs, transforming into sixty-four different configurations such as Ze Heaven, Fire Heaven, Thunder Heaven, Wind Heaven, Water Heaven!

"Buzz!"

The Ze Heaven Trigram evolved; with him at the center, a vast ocean emerged over ten miles around, suspended in the sky!

Amidst the sound of a piercing noise, the inverted ocean in the sky was cleanly split by an invisible blade, over ten miles wide, resisting layers of waves yet remaining immensely powerful, piercing into his Daoist field, cutting forward!

The Mountain Marsh Trigram ran before Chen Shi, the Daoist field transformed into Mountain Marsh Transformation, with mountain peaks rising abruptly, subsequently severed at their waist.

In Chen Shi's Dao Field, black winds howled, thunder roared as Gentle Wind and Thunder struck the invisible blade, ultimately nullifying the force of the attack!
