Above the Great Dao

The two chatted for a while, and Chen Shi's Primordial Spirit returned to the first small temple, only to see Stone Rock Lady lying on the Divine Shrine, occasionally twitching.

The light of the Yin Messanger shone on her body, causing extreme pain. Stone Rock Lady was originally an anomaly of Cultivation Immortality, a stone that absorbed Spiritual Energy over time, awakened its spiritual consciousness, and cultivated as a Demon Immortal. After achieving minor success, she was suppressed by Demon-suppressing and Taoism.

Later, she was enshrined, shifting to the Divine Dao, but her Primordial Spirit remained the same as before. Extraordinary Power refined her god body, and no matter how strong her god body became, her Primordial Spirit couldn't advance.

She had absorbed nearly half of the power of the Fire and Earth Judges, and was not far from restoring her True Body, but her Primordial Spirit was still her weakness.

Chen Shi helped her up, letting her sit on the Divine Shrine, so that when he refined Xiaolang's Emperor Chapter Skill, he could also help heal her Primordial Spirit's injuries.

However, Stone Rock Lady twitched once more and fell down again, continuing to twitch.

"Take care of her for a while," Chen Shi said to the White-clothed Fairy on another Divine Shrine.

The White-clothed Fairy nodded repeatedly.

Chen Shi's Primordial Spirit placed the Black Pot on his own Divine Shrine, helping it to regulate its Qi-Blood, picking a few Spiritual Medicine plants to apply to the wounds on the Black Pot's body, to treat last night's injuries.

Suddenly, the Black Pot's eyes flew open, awakening from a deep sleep, with its ears perked up as if it heard something.

It was incredibly tense, its black fur standing on end.

Chen Shi's heart raced, exclaiming, "Has the other big Black Pot caught up?"

The Black Pot nodded heavily, leaping down from the Divine Shrine, running out of the small temple, and bounding out to the outside world.

Chen Shi's Primordial Spirit took its place on the Divine Shrine, elevating his Cultivation to the extreme, activating the Second New Talisman, and with the Black Pot underfoot, they flared with Thunder Light, tearing through the sky!

He journeyed with Wind and Thunder, traveling speeds several times faster than before; a string of Thunder Light flashed in the sky, and Chen Shi had already traveled over a hundred miles with the Black Pot!

"Black Pot, keep an eye on the surroundings, don't let it muddle my thoughts!" Chen Shi shouted loudly.

A man and a dog raced through the Thunder Light, speeding towards Xinxiang, but journeying with Wind and Thunder was extremely draining, and Chen Shi couldn't sustain it for long.

Suddenly, the sky darkened, a chilling wind arose, gloomy clouds terribly morose, ghostly to behold, and Chen Shi felt a shock in his heart; he hadn't felt himself being influenced, but beside him, the Black Pot was barking loudly, telling him he was affected.

"It's over, I can no longer distinguish between reality and illusion."

Chen Shi froze in midair, not daring to move, unable to tell up from down, left from right, unsure if he was in the underworld or the Mortal World, or what was around him.

Acting rashly might well be courting death.

The Black Pot struggled to resist that horribly terrifying consciousness, but in vain, completely unable to contend against it!

In the grim sky, two immense eyes slowly appeared, staring at Chen Shi and the Black Pot.

Huo Dou's unimaginably massive body slowly came into their view; on Huo Dou's back, hundreds of Yin Messangers, each hundreds of zhang tall, were straining to drag chains, restraining Huo Dou.

Just as Huo Dou was about to pounce, suddenly a voice called out from afar, "Huo Dou, stop!"

Chen Shi followed the voice, his gaze stunned, seeing Young Master Wei Yue swiftly rushing over, blocking himself and Huo Dou!

"I must be influenced by Huo Dou!"

Chen Shi thought, "Why would Wei Yue save me?"

Just as he thought this, that colossal Huo Dou abruptly lifted its front paw, swatting Wei Yue away.

Wei Yue spat blood, tumbling and spinning through the air, his heart in disarray, "Why did Huo Dou hit me?"

Seeing this, Chen Shi thought, "I'm indeed under Huo Dou's influence!"

That gigantic creature forced its way forward, even hundreds of Yin Messangers couldn't hold it back, the overwhelming Demon Qi bore down on Chen Shi and the Black Pot, rendering them immobile.

Suddenly, in Chen Shi's small temple, his mother's soul drifted down, coming before Chen Shi and the Black Pot, gently raising her hand.

"Huo Dou, you've found your son, and I've found my son." She said softly.

Huo Dou lowered its head, its enormous head lightly touching her palm.
