Above the Great Dao

Four bone dragons slowly pulled a carriage forward, with a Sheep Horn Heavenly Spirit Lamp hanging at the front.

Immediately, a Yin Messanger from the Human Clan stepped forward, came to the window, and reported their discovery to the person inside the carriage.

The person inside the carriage was a middle-aged man, also in a Primordial Spirit state, but he had long since gathered Extraordinary Power through the Incense Fire Qi to forge himself a new Golden Body. This Golden Body was formed from Extraordinary Power, but it was absolutely no less than a Physical Body!

Such a Ghost God's Golden Body has only one shortcoming compared to a Physical Body: eating cannot bring taste, nor can it smell aroma; any delicacy is as flavorless as chewing wax.

"The future Sect Master of our Xia Family is dead!"

The middle-aged man cried out in utmost grief, looking up to the sky, "Who killed the future Sect Master of our Xia Family? Who killed Fengyang Lord of my Xia Family? This hatred is everlasting, endless! Search, find Tianjie's soul for me!"

"Yin Commander, we have not found the soul," said a Yin Messanger.

This man was the Yin Commander responsible for this area in the underworld, named Xia Xiude. Upon hearing this, his face became even more grim.

"Has the soul scattered completely? What grievances and grudges?"

He was furious, his cold smile revealing his anger, "Even if I have to search heaven and earth, find this person for me!"

Not long after, several Yin Messangers brought a ghost herder to Yin Commander Xia Xiude. The ghost herder was trembling and tearfully said, "My lord, please forgive me for not paying respects."

A Yin Messanger explained, "Yin Commander, this ghost herder was punished for losing several Grasshopper Beasts and was imprisoned, thus narrowly escaping the disaster. He knows who the culprit is."

The ghost herder said, "That person was a young scholar, seemingly the current top scorer, accompanied by a black dog, a wooden carriage, and a woman."

Xia Xiude said in a deep voice, "Order all nearby Yin Messangers, by the large and small River of Oblivion, to watch for a wooden carriage, black dog, woman, and young scholar! Report immediately upon discovery!"

"As you command!"

Various Yin Messangers boarded ships, riding a gust of yin wind, and departed.

The carriage pulled by four bone dragons also left Fengyang Manor.

The wooden carriage chased after the Black Pot, crossing the vast marshlands to reach the opposite shore, where a mountain peak stood by the lake, and at the foot of the mountain was a village, surprisingly inhabited by living villagers.

When Chen Shi arrived, he saw that the godmother of this town was a Daoist priest who had absorbed over a thousand years of incense, wearing feathered clothing, floating like an immortal.

His Divine Power was extremely formidable, and there were many corpses of Ghost Monsters hanging around the village, presumably killed by him.

In the village were several cultivators, all scholars, who stopped Chen Shi outside the village, watching him vigilantly, not allowing him entry.

"You are scholars, you should have heard of me. I am Chen Shi, the current top scorer." Chen Shi's expression was gentle as he smiled.

The scholars each shook their heads, and a woman said, "We have not heard of you. It's not that we don't let you in, but in these times, man is more dangerous than ghost!"

Scholar Zhu couldn't help but float out from a small temple, saying, "Not even knowing the current top scorer, you dare call yourselves scholars!"

"A ghost!"

The scholars were extremely nervous, each preparing their spells.

Chen Shi emitted a wisp of air; to him it was just a wisp, but to these scholars, it was incredibly powerful and unbeatable!

At this moment, the Daoist in feather clothing approached, his body shining with divine light, "Everyone, do not be disrespectful. The mountain man greets the fellow Daoist."

Chen Shi returned the greeting, "I mean no harm. I came to inquire if there is a temple on this mountain."

The Daoist in feather clothing said, "This mountain rose abruptly six days ago, and indeed there is a temple on the mountain, called the Fire Mansion of the Jade Pivot King Spiritual Official."
