Above the Great Dao

Yang Bi withdrew his gaze, avoiding eye contact with Wuwang.

Zhong Wuwang laughed and said: "Interesting. Fellow disciples, you must quickly retreat to Despair Slope."

Wen Wuyu, Zhuang Wujiu, and others were puzzled.

Zhong Wuwang laughed and said: "The man from the Thirteen Families has found us. He will stop at nothing, exhausting all his power to kill me! And I can take this opportunity to probe the strength of the Thirteen Families! You must go quickly, or it will be too late!"

Everyone was shocked and hurriedly left in haste.

Wen Wuyu arrived at her stall, tidying up, her gaze falling on a dossier, which recorded abnormalities from Yin Mountain concerning Chen Shi.

She remained silent, put away the dossier, and left in a hurry.

Yang Bi arrived at Jade Sky Heaven, paying respects to the thirteen ancestors, and said solemnly: "Honored ancestors, I have found the visitor from Despair Slope and locked onto one person. This person must be the one who acquired the Innate Dao Embryo at Despair Slope. If we can capture him, we can learn everything about Despair Slope, even its cultivation techniques."

At this, all thirteen ancestors were moved.

Zhai Family ancestor Zhai Zhongming urgently asked: "How did you find him?"

Yang Bi said solemnly: "I observed the movements of Heaven Listeners across various regions, from Heaven Listener Envoys to Deacons, to Venerables, Venerable Kings, and Venerable Lords, and finally identified their leader. All Heaven Listeners report to this person. Although the people from Despair Slope act mysteriously, finding him is not difficult with effort."

Xia Family ancestor Xia Gongjin asked: "How did you know that this person is the possessor of the Innate Dao Embryo?"

Yang Bi said: "In the past when the disciples of Despair Slope went to Xinxiang County to seize the Innate Dao Embryo, there were three people. I once forced Wen Wuyu out in Immortal City and saw Zhuang Wujiu in the Mortal World; neither of them received the Dao Embryo. Thus, the one who has the Dao Embryo is the third person who went to Xinxiang County back then. This person is Zhong Wuwang. Zhang You has also seen this person."

The group of ancestors nodded one after another.

"While he is alone, he can be slain."

Yang Bi said unhurriedly, "This person who obtained the Innate Dao Embryo must be the senior brother of Despair Slope. Everything goes smoothly for him, without hindrance. Over time, he will become arrogant and impatient. Knowing I want to kill him, he won't run, but instead gives me the opportunity to kill him to test his skills. He very much wants to prove that his abilities are not reliant on the Innate Dao Embryo but his efforts and talent! Therefore, I request all the ancestors to personally take action and kill this person!"

The Thirteen Families' ancestors exchanged glances; Fei Family ancestor Fei Zichong stood up, chuckled, and said: "You all don't want to bully the younger generation, so I'll be the bad guy. I'll go kill him."

Yang Bi said: "Apart from Ancestor Fei, I would also like to request Ancestor Gu and Ancestor Yan to join in."

Fei Zichong frowned slightly, displeased, and said: "Do you worry that I'm not a match for Zhong Wuwang?"

He had the aura of an Immortal Family, joyful as clear skies, angry as sudden thunder, his emotions could interfere with the mortal world, truly terrifying.

Yang Bi said neither humble nor overbearing: "I do not doubt Ancestor Fei's strength, but I strive for caution..."

Fei Zichong snorted, flicked his sleeve, and left.

Yang Bi remained composed, bowed to Yan Family ancestor Yan Weizhong and Gu Family ancestor Gu Tong, saying: "Please, Ancestor Yan and Ancestor Gu, descend to the lower realm together."

Yan Weizhong and Gu Tong exchanged a smile and rose.

Yan Weizhong said: "Old Fei will surely be furious knowing we are also going down."

Gu Tong laughed: "Yang Bi's broad consideration of the enemy is indeed good, only he did not consider our face as old folks."

Despite the words, the two still left the Upper Realm.

Yang Bi sighed, thought: "Three ancestors, even if it is the Innate Dao Embryo, it is destined to fall!"

He respected no one's face, with the sole aim of maximizing resource utilization at hand to eliminate the opponent's living force!

He left Jade Sky Heaven, let out a deep breath, and said softly: "Brother Chen, in this era, there is no personal power!"

On the seventeenth day after dark, led by Hu Feifei, Chen Tang, and others, Mountain Lord Peak gradually got on track. They led the populace of Xinxiang County to reclaim farmland and plant crops.

The people, under the government's guidance, opened vegetable plots, built pigsties and cowsheds, and raised poultry such as chickens, ducks, and geese to first meet their own needs. However, people's houses for the time being were difficult to build, and there were still many things like weaving, salt harvesting, schools, markets, blacksmith shops, tailor shops, and so on that were all in their infancy.

Despite Hu Feifei, Chen Tang, and others working tirelessly day and night, there were still many matters that required their personal intervention.

Chen Tang even felt that the affairs of a county were more numerous than those of a nation.

Just then, a commotion arose at the foot of the mountain, quite lively, and Chen Tang, in a hurry, had his Primordial Spirit leave the body, peered down, and saw countless Ghosts and Spirits from the Heavenly Pond Country arriving in a grand manner at Mountain Lord Peak, bringing many little Yakshas, and Bull Head and Horse Face little ghosts.

The leading Ghost God was an old man like an ape, not tall, who introduced himself as Lei Qu, clan leader of the Thunder Ape Clan, ordered by the King of Heavenly Pond Country, came leading craftsmen to assist.

"Chen Tang here, Lei clan leader..."

Just as Chen Tang spoke, Lei Qu's face changed, he quickly bowed, and said: "Ah, so you are the Supreme Emperor! Forgive this old minister's blind eyes for not recognizing the Supreme Emperor! Forgive, forgive!"

Chen Tang was silent for a moment, helplessly said: "The ignorant are blameless, Daoist brother need not be so polite."

He could tell that this old white ape's cultivation and strength were profound, probably no worse than himself. Such a strong figure calling him the Supreme Emperor unsettled his Dao Heart.
