Above the Great Dao

"Are you saying that the visitor from Despair Slope is hiding in Chen Shi's Yuan Chen Palace?" Wei Yue exclaimed.

As soon as he spoke, they suddenly saw a small Yaksha in Chen Shi's Yuan Chen Palace, holding a bucket in one hand and a stick in the other, carrying a small bundle over the shoulder, rushing out of the Yuan Chen Palace, kicking over a Ghost God, and fleeing.

Wei Yue was dumbfounded.

The numerous Ghost Gods pursued, but along the way, Heaven Listeners continuously leaped out to block, allowing the small Yaksha to escape from the encirclement!

Wei Yue was furious and immediately took flight: "I'll kill him!"

Yang Bi's voice came: "I let him go on purpose."

Wei Yue was stunned, halted his movement, and said angrily: "Why did you let him go? He repeatedly thwarted my great plans, and this time he used Chen Shi and the Grave Stone Carver to stir up trouble! Otherwise, I would already be the Yama by now!"

Yang Bi said calmly: "The change in the heavens is still ongoing, and the Thirteen Families and Despair Slope have not yet completely fallen out with each other. Killing a master from Despair Slope would do nothing but put us in danger. Only when the change in the heavens comes, will it be the time to act against Despair Slope."

Wei Yue asked: "How did you discover the visitor from Despair Slope was hiding in Chen Shi's Yuan Chen Palace?"

Yang Bi replied: "I was ordered to come to the Immortal City to investigate why the Yan Family still hasn't taken control of Yama Hall. I noticed Heaven Listeners were active in the Immortal City, so I suspected your actions were detected by Despair Slope. Heaven Listeners would certainly make contact with Despair Slope to deliver messages, so I didn't seek you out directly but observed these Heaven Listeners carefully. I found many Heaven Listeners were active near Chen Shi's Yuan Chen Palace. But Chen Shi wasn't in Yuan Chen Palace those days, so the visitor from Despair Slope must be in Yuan Chen Palace."

Wei Yue murmured: "In Chen Shi's Yuan Chen Palace, there is only a small Yaksha responsible for cleaning, so this small Yaksha must be the visitor from Despair Slope... Yang Shaohu, I wasn't convinced about you before, but today I am!"

He bowed deeply to Yang Bi, saying: "I am completely convinced by you. If you need anything in the future, just order me!"

Yang Bi smiled and said: "Then, I will indeed order you."

Wei Yue straightened up and said seriously: "Please speak, Shaohu!"

Yang Bi said: "You are a living Yin Commander and have high cultivation. You must immediately return to the mortal world and pursue Huodou from there. Make sure to stop it before it captures Chen Shi!"

Wei Yue's expression was uncertain, and he said: "I can't capture Chen Shi, it will surely ruin my reputation. In the future, when I inherit the Yama's position, this will be a disgrace... I'll do it! But even if I can stop Huodou, I'm afraid Chen Shi won't let go of his grudges!"

Yang Bi smiled and said: "I will go see Chen Shi."

Wei Yue immediately took flight, transforming into a gust of Yin wind and disappearing without a trace.

Yang Bi watched him return to the mortal world, shook his head, and said softly: "Brother Wei, you really aren't suitable to be Yama. Your only good point is that you still listen, which made me pull back from the brink and not have the Yan Family change their leader."

He boarded a colorful cloud carriage, pulled by a bluebird, and took off into the sky.

As the carriage just started moving, he saw many Ghost God guards stationed at Yuan Chen Palace also set off, following the colorful cloud carriage.

These Ghost God guards were responsible for his safety, and if Young Master Wei Yue disobeyed, they would kill Wei Yue directly at Yuan Chen Palace, allowing the Yan Family to replace the person in charge of Immortal City affairs.

Yang Bi, acting on behalf of the Upper Realm, had immense authority and could act first and report later.

"It's time to see Chen Shi."

In the colorful cloud carriage, Yang Bi looked at the scene outside, seeing the gloomy clouds and thick demonic aura, and said softly, "In life, one should be a hero, in death, a hero among ghosts. Back when Scholar Hai caused a great uproar in the underworld... Is this Innate Dao Embryo just icing on the cake? Without the Innate Dao Embryo, would Scholar Hai still be as powerful?"

In the mortal world, Chen Shi and Black Pot ran quickly, and before they knew it, the moon had disappeared, and the sun hung in the sky, the morning light burning bright red, illuminating the icefield vividly red, with frost like red flowers hanging all over the branches.

After a night of running, they had reached the edge of the Northern Ice Field, and Chen Shi, having learned from the failed experiences of the ferryman and his daughter, did not stop along the way.

The ferryman and his daughter were caught by Yin Messengers chasing after them because they stopped to rest at night, which allowed Huodou to catch up, fall into the underworld without knowing, and ultimately be captured.

Stopping would likely lead to being caught by Huodou.

Huodou runs in the underworld, and they run in the mortal world; the geography of the mortal and underworld does not correspond. Running a mile in the mortal world requires several hundred to even a thousand miles in the underworld!

As long as they escape fast enough, Huodou won't be able to catch up with them.

But running all night was truly exhausting, especially for Black Pot, who, after a night of fierce battles, was too tired to move.

"Black Pot, enter my small temple, eat something, and rest for a bit!" Chen Shi said.

Black Pot also knew that if it kept running, it might not hold out, so a light from Chen Shi's small temple enveloped it, drawing it into the temple.

Chen Shi took out some Exotic Beast Meat, but Black Pot ate only half before falling asleep.

It was not yet mature but had already fought fiercely with many Demon Gods from the Immortal City, truly exhausting it.

Chen Shi, while using Xiaolang's Emperor Chapter Skill, continued running without reducing his speed.

Behind his head, nine layers of clouds spread out, rotating endlessly, as Heaven and Earth Righteous Qi transformed into extremely pure Primordial Qi, continuously refining into him.

Chen Shi hurriedly ate some dried food, grabbed several snowballs to eat, replenishing his stamina.

His Primordial Spirit arrived in the second small temple behind his head, where his mother looked at him with a gentle voice: "Are you tired?"

She didn't dare show too much worry, fearing it would create too much pressure on her son.

"Not tired."

Chen Shi smiled and said, "Mother, just wait a few days, and we can go back home. Everything at home is just as it was before, untouched."
