Above the Great Dao

Self-rescue?!

Chen Shi's heart was shaken as he looked towards the people of the Heavenly Court. Faced with a catastrophe possibly more terrifying than disaster, the first idea they thought of was not escape, not hoarding food, not hiding in the underworld, nor seeking help from others.

The first thing they thought of was self-rescue!

"If the True God is ill, then we cure Him; if the True God is asleep, then we awaken Him."

Wu Qingyu laughed, "In short, we need to go up and see where the problem lies!"

They soon prepared thoroughly, several cultivators from the Ministry of Industry slipped into the legs and feet of the mechanism for adjustment, and there were also cultivators in the Alchemy Furnace Room feeding coal into the Pill Furnace, stimulating the furnace. The original mechanism used mechanical Golden Core to transmit spiritual energy, but Chen Tang, Situ Wen, and others imitated the Divine Embryo to transmit spiritual energy through the Divine Embryo.

The Divine Embryo is equivalent to the Primordial Spirit, extremely difficult to imitate, yet they succeeded in their research.

Mechanical Divine Embryos flew in and out of the Pill Furnace, continuously absorbing its spiritual energy, and upon reaching the Sword Furnace, they used it as mana to activate the Sword Furnace, thereby making it operate and spray Sword Light, bringing powerful thrust.

Situ Wen personally stationed in the mechanism to attempt the first flight.

As the eight Sword Furnaces gradually lit up, the magical treasure mechanism vibrated and slowly lifted off.

The Sword Qi erupting from them cut the ground, forming eight deep holes.

When the mechanical Divine Embryo and Pill Furnace were pushed to their limits, the Sword Light from the Sword Furnace became longer and longer, accelerating the mechanism's speed!

Situ Wen ordered it to stop, and the cultivators in the Alchemy Furnace Room ceased feeding fine coal, while the mechanical Divine Embryo's operation speed also gradually slowed down. The magical treasure mechanism slowly descended amidst the roaring Sword Qi.

The magical treasure mechanism was akin to a village, quite large in scale, and transporting such a massive item to outer skies was extraordinary.

Situ Wen prepared some Taotie boxes and Qiankun Bags, filled with fine coal, and once everything was ready, Chen Shi, Chen Tang, and others boarded the magical treasure mechanism, and under the busy workings of the Heavenly Court's Ministry of Industry, the mechanism vibrated and ascended, accelerating towards the heavenly dome!

Inside the mechanism's internal housing, each Heavenly Court Ministry of Industry cultivator followed the flight of the mechanical Divine Embryo, monitoring its operation without the slightest laxness. Others inspected various parts of the mechanism to prevent any loosening or dislocation caused by vibrations.

Faced with such situations, they would intervene immediately to ensure the mechanism's continued operation.

In Qianyang Mountain, Great Snake Xuan Shan looked up and saw numerous pavilions and towers spewing Sword Qi torrents, stretching for miles high.

Great Snake Xuan Shan couldn't help but lose focus.

"Cultivators cannot fly beyond the heavens," he murmured.

He had never seen any cultivator able to fly beyond the sky.

The mechanism climbed higher, its exterior now reddened, soon reaching sixty miles high.

"Cultivators, even those in the Mahayana Realm, struggle to sustain flight at sixty miles above the ground."

In the upper pavilion of the mechanism, Chen Tang looked at the floating talisman patterns outside the mechanism, resisting the high-altitude heat, saying, "Most cultivators stop here; flying further upward, they encounter an invisible force that pressures them down. It's impossible for them to fly any higher."

Chen Shi felt a slight stir, saying: "Uncle Xiao Wu hid food by storing it at sixty miles high. Many people can't reach there."

Chen Tang said: "Even Mahayana Realm cultivators, as long as they have a physical body, cannot fly beyond sixty miles high. Without a physical body, using the Primordial Spirit to roam also can't reach outer space. As for the reason, I do not know, as I haven't tried it."

Li Tianqing, also in the pavilion, knowledgeable and learned, said: "Our Li Family recorded in the 'Astronomy Record' that the reason for the invisible force is actually the True God's divine suppression. And the Primordial Spirit cannot fly higher because during daylight, the sunlight above forms layers of Sun Essence Qi, dozens of miles thick, igniting the Primordial Spirit when reaching it, burning it to ash. The Li Family had an ancestor who ventured with Mahayana cultivation, flying the Primordial Spirit more than a hundred miles high, and was refined into ash in an instant."

Chen Shi asked: "What if one goes at night?"

Li Tianqing said: "At night, moonlight forms invisible Sword Qi at eighty miles high, where cultivators' Primordial Spirit would be beheaded without seeing anything. These Sword Qi are the True God's gaze transformed, and a Mahayana Realm Primordial Spirit cannot withstand even one invisible Sword Qi, not to mention continuous Sword Qi is everywhere. Once, in Taihua Qingyang Palace, a crazy Taoist drunk danced under the moon, suddenly having a thought, saying, 'I want to drink with the True God,' and then flew the Primordial Spirit with a drink outside the sky, only to have his head cut off by a single sword."

Yu Lingzi was surprised: "Our Taihua Qingyang Palace actually had such a ridiculous Taoist?"

Though a disciple of the Green Sheep Palace, he was unaware of this matter.

Qiongyang Ancestor said: "Our Qingyang Palace indeed has some Taoists fond of wine, maybe someone really did something so ridiculous."

As they spoke, the mechanism had ascended a hundred miles high, entering the Sun Essence Qi layer.

Chen Shi looked up outside, and saw more and more talisman patterns floating outside the mechanism, exceedingly complex, like over two thousand Divine beings guarding around the mechanism!

He felt a slight stir: "Circulation Heaven Great Jiao?"

Chen Tang said: "Your Hua Gai depicts the Circulation Heaven Great Jiao, I copied it. Your mother drew several times using Huo Dou's blood."

Suddenly, the mechanism vibrated violently, Chen Shi's expression changed slightly: "Besides Sun Essence Qi, there's Nine Yang Divine Thunder?"
