Above the Great Dao

Qiongyang Ancestor led everyone flying over the Yellow Earth Slope next to Qianyang Mountain, suddenly affected by the slope, almost falling, hurriedly stabilizing themselves, and barely landing outside Huangpo Village.

Although she was at the peak of the Mahayana Realm, the Yellow Earth Slope had a significant impact on her, and flying over it could easily pull one down.

Outside Huangpo Village, the spirits of the Heavenly Court members were somewhat low. This time their goal was to come to the outer world to investigate what mishap had befallen the Outer Heaven True God. However, despite having flown out of the West Bull New Continent into space, they found it all in vain.

The weight of the evil energy from the outer world made it difficult for them even to protect themselves, let alone investigate the True God.

The Sun and Moon revolved around them, the Yin Yang Qi constantly refining them, making their expressions change under the reflection of the Sun and Moon.

Situ Wen roused himself, loudly saying: "Gentlemen! We can build another Mechanism! The manpower and resources of the Heavenly Court still exist; it is not difficult to build another Mechanism! This time we were not fully prepared; next time, if we are ready, we can go to the outer world again! Next time, we will certainly be able to approach the True God!"

Yu Lingzi shook his head and said: "The evil energy of the outer world is too intense. As soon as we arrive there, we will undergo Evil Transformation. At that point, we can't even control ourselves."

He thought of the Evil Transformation of Jing Hong Daoist, sighed, and said: "Once transformed by evil, we will fall into self-destruction and can't even protect ourselves."

The others felt a heaviness in their hearts.

No one spoke, Hu Feifei's gaze fell on Chen Shi, and he softly said: "What should we do next?"

The others also looked towards Chen Shi.

In the Heavenly Court, Chen Shi was known as the True King, their main pillar. When they couldn't come up with an idea, they could only place their hopes on Chen Shi.

Li Tianqing's gaze was eager: "Little Ten, you always have ideas. This time think of a way, and we'll all follow your lead!"

Yu Tiancheng laughed: "You are the True King of the Heavenly Court, holding the True King's Seal and the Geographical Map of the Fifty Provinces of West Bull New Continent, possessing the power of Divine Enthronement, you must have a plan, right?"

Situ Wen laughed: "Such a powerful person like the Young Master was killed by you, you're incredible! Surely you have a way this time too! Whatever you say, that's what we'll do!"

Chen Shi opened his mouth, wanting to speak, but didn't know what course of action to propose.

Wu Qingyu, feeling sorry, said: "Everyone, he is only thirteen years old. If you can't come up with a plan, how can you pressure a thirteen-year-old child?"

"But he is the True King!"

Situ Wen said anxiously, "He even managed to kill the Young Master, passed the top scorer exam; he must have a way, right? He thought the Mechanism combined with the Mysterious Transformation Furnace could take us to the sky, and indeed, we flew into the sky, even to the outer world! He surely has another idea; we'll definitely achieve it!"

Yu Lingzi, Yu Tiancheng, and others all nodded.

Qiongyang Ancestor smiled and said: "He is a Child Scholar, and also the grandson of Chen Yindou, he will certainly come up with a solution!"

Chen Shi felt his mind in chaos, a myriad of unrealistic thoughts rushing in, quickly dismissed by him.

He felt anxious and restless, as if the expectant gazes had transformed into an unimaginable pressure, weighing on him, on his heart, pressing him down, making him want to crouch, kneel on the ground to catch his breath, want to turn and flee.

This pressure made it difficult for him to breathe.

Chen Tang held his hand and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, Little Ten is no longer a Child Scholar; his Innate Dao Embryo was taken, he was dead for eight years, he is not the person you are looking for."

Yu Tiancheng became angry: "He is a Child Scholar! Why did the Outer Heaven True God give the Innate Dao Embryo to him and not to me? Not to others? Just because he's impressive! He's quick-witted! He must have a way!"

Yu Lingzi laughed: "He is my martial uncle, if he can't think of a way, who can? His abilities surpass mine greatly, he killed core disciples of the Thirteen Families in the Western Capital and even managed to escape unscathed!"

His admiration was genuine, without the slightest bit fake.

However, this made Chen Shi even more anxious.

"Yes! He is the True King, he acquired the West King Jade Seal! He led all our Scholars across the central part of West Bull New Continent, without losing a single person, brought us to the Western Capital!"

"Indeed! He even led us through the Buddhist Hell, emerged from the underworld! Such a defying act, I've never heard from storytellers!"

"He is also the Skull King of the Heavenly Pond Country!"

...

Wu Qingyu couldn't help but say: "But Little Ten is still just a child, you can't press him like this! Things that even the True King couldn't accomplish! In six thousand years, who could do it..."

"Mother, no need to say more."

Chen Shi released Chen Tang's hand, walked past Wu Qingyu, and softly said, "Scholar Zhu entrusted me with the West King Jade Seal, the True King handed me the Map of Mountains and Rivers, gave me the True King's tomb, so I have to do something."

Wu Qingyu was stunned, still wanting to speak, Chen Tang came to her side, put an arm around her shoulders, gently shook his head.

Wu Qingyu held back and didn't open her mouth.

"Gentlemen."

Chen Shi looked around, meeting pairs of expectant eyes, saying seriously, "I might disappoint you, I might not be able to turn the tide, might not be able to make the Sun rise again. I am just a mortal, my Divine Embryo was taken by someone, surviving death, living a second life! Thanks to your trust, becoming the True King in your eyes.

"Gentlemen, perhaps there are still seven days, perhaps in seven days, the Sun will completely disappear, leaving only the Moon hanging in the sky. You return, let the Red Mountain Hall Talisman Master Association in all places, prepare as much food as possible, gather resources, hunt mutant beasts, store meat, bones, and skin, prepare for the winter."
