Above the Great Dao

Azhuo braced himself and stammered as he explained the whole situation.

He had now broken through to the Mahayana Realm, becoming one of the few masters in the world, but providing this explanation made him feel more exhausted than fighting an adult demon.

Chen Tang was expressionless and did not speak.

Du Yiran thought about using his uncle status to pressure him with seniority, but considering how youthful he now seemed, he was embarrassed to speak.

After a moment, Chen Tang said, "You are elders, but don't play around too much. My wife and I have only one son, and it's hard for him to come back from the dead. I hope the five of you can understand."

The five of them blushed.

Chen Tang said, "Let's first summon my son's Primordial Spirit back. This time, I will organize the demon extraction arrangements to ensure nothing goes wrong."

Granny Sha and the others were utterly reluctant. With Chen Tang in charge, everything would be meticulously planned, and the five of them would become mere tools for the demon extraction, taking away any fun there was.

However, what could they do? Chen Tang and Chen Shi were the victims after all.

Soon after, Granny Sha summoned Chen Shi's Primordial Spirit back, and Du Yiran and others took the opportunity to extract the demon from his body. As Chen Shi's Primordial Spirit entered his physical body and he gradually awoke, he felt completely numb, unable to move even his eyeballs.

"Azhuo, how much longer until the bee venom is neutralized?" Granny Sha's voice came through.

"A little less than an hour."

Granny Sha's voice said, "Little Ten's Primordial Spirit seems somewhat different from before, much stronger."

Du Yiran examined him and said in puzzlement, "Indeed, he's much stronger, but the cultivation of his Primordial Spirit hasn't increased. Strange."

After a little less than an hour, Chen Shi was finally able to move. Struggling to sit up, he smiled and asked, "Auntie Sha, Uncle Du, have all the demons been extracted from my body?"

Du Yiran coughed repeatedly, and everyone's expressions appeared somewhat uneasy.

Chen Shi suspiciously asked, "Did something go wrong?"

"There was a tiny little problem." Granny Sha laughed, "We only extracted two demons... but the rest will be quick! Don't worry, as long as you die one more time, we can extract all the demons completely!"

Chen Shi had thought that all the demons would have been extracted over these ten days, but realizing only two had been, he felt a bit disappointed. However, he quickly thought, "In that case, I'll just make another trip to the underworld."

In Qianyang Mountain of the underworld, there were still many secrets awaiting discovery, and the siblings Peng Ju and Peng Yan'er were both ghosts worth befriending; Chen Shi didn't mind returning to the underworld.

Granny Sha and the five, along with Black Pot, gathered beside Chen Tang, whispering and discussing away from Chen Shi.

Qing Yang said, "The location for the demon extraction can't be in the underworld; there are too many variables. The place for demon extraction should be in Old Du's Void Great Realm. Even if the Demon Transformation occurs, it will be hard for the demon to escape."

Chen Tang shook his head, "The Demon Transformation pollutes everything within its reach, turning everything into Demon Qi, and all life forms into Demonic Nature, transforming the Great Dao into the Demon Path. If the Demon Transformation occurs in Uncle Du's Void Great Realm, Uncle Du would be the first to become a demon. So the demon extraction must take place in the underworld, but this time we must meticulously prepare."

Qing Yang said, "What a bore..."

Chen Tang's gaze swept over, and Qing Yang didn't dare speak further.

Chen Tang said, "Sister Qiutong's arrangements will continue to be used, but each altar must have masters stationed beside it, ready to move the altars and either expand or contract the range of each altar as needed to adapt to changes in the range of the Demon Transformation. Not every demon's Demon Domain is just a hundred li; some demons are stronger, and their Demon Domain is larger."

He looked around and added, "This time, it will be mainly up to you. Uncle Du and Azhuo will be the main force. Azhuo will suppress the upward rush of Demon Qi from the sky when the Demon Transformation begins, while Uncle Du faces the demon's Mana head-on.

"Uncle Yang will compete with him, and Uncle Hu will sever the space around, preventing him from escaping into the Mortal World.

"Sister Qiutong will not participate in direct combat; you only have one task, use the Sheep Horn Heavenly Spirit Lamp to shine on the demon's Demon Soul, distracting it.

"Black Pot will also not participate in combat. As long as Sister Qiutong blasts out a part of the Demon Soul, you just rush up, bite it, and drag the Demon Soul out!"

His cohesive arrangements earned nods of agreement from everyone and the dog.

With clear divisions of roles, indeed, there would be fewer errors and omissions.

Chen Tang said, "I will deploy the Heavenly Mechanism outside to assist you. If necessary, the Ghost God Domain of the Heavenly Mechanism will suppress the Demon Domain, lending you a hand. But the Heavenly Mechanism is not very intelligent and can easily be invaded by the demon, so it cannot participate in the battle directly. Therefore, we still rely on you."

Granny Sha and the others relaxed slightly, feeling that Chen Tang was not entirely useless, at least reliable enough.

"But before taking action, I need you to practice, coordinate seamlessly." Chen Tang said, "Now let's go outside to practice. I'll act as the demon using the Heavenly Mechanism, and you five coordinate the battle well, only doing your part and absolutely not doing what others are supposed to do!"

Granny Sha and the others looked forlorn, feeling Chen Tang was entirely useless.

Du Yiran sighed and said, "Let's just go along with him; after all, we messed things up, didn't we?"

All of them went to the mountains to practice.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Chen Shi could barely move. Azhuo's venomous bees were truly too vicious, injecting too much venom, causing his body to be somewhat unresponsive.

The White-clothed Fairy, aware of his Divine Soul's return, was very happy, circling around him cheerfully.

Chen Shi lay on a reclining chair in the courtyard, basking in the sun, while the White-clothed Fairy snuggled beside him, feeding him grapes. — Fresh grapes picked by Chen Shi's mother from Granny Wu Zhu's vineyard, sweet with a hint of tartness, leaving his mouth watering.

"Not taking the little temple to the underworld is somewhat inconvenient. I wonder if it's possible to separate the little temple from my physical body, allowing it to follow my Primordial Spirit?"
