Above the Great Dao

She suppressed her injury and sneered: "The Zhou people established a false Heavenly Court, it seems Stone Rock Lady is also a traitor!"

Chen Shi thought to himself: "No wonder Stone Rock Lady is afraid of her."

He revived his spirit: "What plans does the Fairy have for the future?"

Little Dun Fairy said: "My injury is not yet healed, I still need to stay in your small temple for a while. Once my injury is healed, I will cut off my realm to avoid Harmonization with Heaven and Earth, then I can leave this place. At that time, I will try to leave here and find the way back to China's Ancestral Land."

Chen Shi smiled and said: "Fairy, feel free to stay here. Do you still remember how you ended up in this situation?"

Little Dun Fairy said: "I remember. When my world was destroyed, I severed a piece of Heaven and Earth, sealed myself in a small world, hoping to avoid evil transformation. I left a White Jade Path outside this small world, connected to the outside world, waiting for the outside world to normalize so I could return. Unexpectedly, when I woke up, the outside world was normal, but a group of strangely dressed people built a palace to suppress me inside, preventing my return."

Chen Shi thought: "She must be talking about the True King. The True King was worried that her return to the outside world would turn into a disaster, so he built the Lanyue Palace to suppress her in the world at the end of the White Jade Path."

He suddenly thought, would the Qixia Temple fairy really transform into a disaster upon coming to the outside world?

It stands to reason that the True King wouldn't do something without reason, he must have seen a similar scene before, which is why he was so tense, building the Lanyue Palace to block the White Jade Path.

However, Little Dun Fairy came to the real world and did not immediately undergo an evil transformation.

"Perhaps she was seriously injured by the True King Nine Palaces as soon as she appeared, with little remaining cultivation, and fell unconscious without touching the outside world, being placed in my small temple to heal, thus not transforming."

Chen Shi pondered, this was just speculation, whether it was correct still needed verification.

Little Dun Fairy continued: "I had to fall asleep again to delay the evil transformation. Later, the Lanyue Palace shattered, and I woke up again to find a Demi Immortal's Void Great Realm colliding, and I used the opportunity to escape into that realm, only to be attacked, severely damaged by those people who raised nine palaces. I struggled to fend off the attack, striving to ascend the Immortal Bridge, attempting to return. By then, I was exhausted, and saw you sitting on a large stone, wanting to cry for help."

Chen Shi was completely relieved, thinking: "She indeed doesn't remember me throwing a stone at her."

"My cultivation was severely damaged, my Dao foundation nearly destroyed, I could no longer hold on when I reached the middle of the bridge, rolling off and passing out."

Little Dun Fairy recalled the past and said, "Later, I woke up groggily, vaguely seeing a figure standing beside me, raising a huge rock, then my head went numb, and I passed out again."

Chen Shi's expression remained unchanged: "At that time, the Immortal Bridge Blessed Land had already collided with the underworld, the one who hurt you was a ghost god from the underworld. I happened to wake from meditation, fought fiercely to drive him away. I rescued you, found you unconscious, and when you woke up, you had amnesia. You were also injured, so I had to take care of you. Over time, affections developed between us, and that was how we got married."

Little Dun Fairy gazed at her Dao heart, and after a while, recalled past events one by one and said: "While unconscious, I lost memory, fell into a dull state, and thus developed feelings for you. It's not your fault. But in the future, this mustn't happen. We are cultivators, we cannot be distracted by physical pleasures, delaying our cultivation."

Chen Shi asked: "You are an immortal who cuts Three Corpse in Harmonization, can you also regenerate the Three Corpse when unconscious?"

Little Dun Fairy said: "Cultivation is a path of the heart, requiring frequent self-reflection. Although Cutting Three Corpses is effective, if one indulges their heart spirit, the Three Corpse could return, and the realm may fall."

Chen Shi said: "Why must the Three Corpse be cut?"

Little Dun Fairy was about to meditate to heal her injuries, but upon hearing this, she spoke earnestly: "When Harmonizing with Heaven and Earth, if the Dao heart still has emotions and desires, it becomes difficult to Harmonize. Only by removing the Three Corpse can the Harmonization be perfect."

Chen Shi pondered and said: "The world contains so much evil Qi, Harmonization would lead to evil transformation. Without emotions and desires, there is no concept of good and evil, right and wrong. Maybe that's why Harmonization gets controlled by evil Qi, leading to evil transformation?"

Little Dun Fairy was startled and shook her head: "I never thought of that."

Chen Shi said: "Harmonization with the world, is the world emotionless? If the world is emotionless, why are there living beings? If the world has emotions, why must the Three Corpse be cut for Harmonization?"

Little Dun Fairy couldn't answer for a moment, and said: "I need to meditate and heal my injuries. Once I recover, I'll cut my realm, and then depart from you."

Chen Shi's consciousness exited the small temple.

Little Dun Fairy closed her eyes, trying to meditate, but Chen Shi's image and voice lingered in her mind, along with memories of their wedding night, making it difficult to calm her heart spirit.

"He keeps asking why the Three Corpses must be cut? Without Cutting Three Corpses, you'd only see him! How can cultivation continue?" she angrily thought.

She gradually entered meditation.

Chen Shi breathed a sigh of relief, but saw Chen Tang still staring at him.

Chen Shi, steeling himself, was ready to accept a scolding from Chen Tang, when suddenly a fragrant breeze wafted by, and Little Dun Fairy flew out from the small temple, throwing herself into his arms, embracing him.

"Husband!" Her voice was sickeningly sweet.

Chen Shi shivered, with his hair standing on end, his body tense, feeling a chill down his spine.

Chen Tang was also startled, his hand already resting on the hilt of the Xuanwei Sword at his waist, ready to draw it and fight the Evil Immortal.

"Husband, husband!" Little Dun showed no signs of evil transformation, instead holding Chen Shi tighter, nuzzling against his chest.
