Above the Great Dao

"Xia Tianjie has indeed progressed greatly, beyond what can be compared with the Upper Realm. Given time, it is possible that he could surpass the Xia Family's ancestors."

Chen Shi calmed his heart spirit, recalled the Youquan Wandering Dragon Sword, and walked out of Fengyang Manor alongside Little Dun Fairy.

Xia Tianjie believed that the gap between him and Chen Shi could be bridged. Thus, when he saw Chen Shi slaughter the Xia Family Ghost Gods at Fengyang Manor, instead of escaping, he stayed to try and kill Chen Shi, to prove the results of his rigorous cultivation during this period.

At this moment, his body lay dozens of miles away. He attacked continuously, but not a single spell from the Eight Might Dragon Summoning Technique landed on Chen Shi, making him realize the vast gap between them, dying with regrets. But in Chen Shi's heart, the gap wasn't that wide.

Where he surpassed Xia Tianjie was that his cultivation technique was slightly better, he knew a few more spells, and his understanding was somewhat more profound.

He cultivated the Sixth New Talisman recorded on the Heaven Measuring Iron Ruler, knew the cultivation techniques from the True King's Treasure Vault, and his insights were just the Initial transformations derived from the Taishang Eight Trigrams Protection Talisman, which spread into sixty-four Ghost God Domains.

If Xia Tianjie had been willing to learn a little more and understand a little more, the outcome might not have been so certain.

However, at their level, having even a bit more of something could lead to a huge gap in real combat.

For instance, Creation Little Five understood a bit more about the Ghost God Three Changes than the ancestors of the Thirteen Families, allowing him to pin those old things down easily, unafraid of their numbers. But in reality, Creation Little Five's cultivation wasn't superior to those ancestors.

Of course, gaining even a small edge in the same realm is as difficult as ascending to the heavens!

Even exhausting all wisdom and dedicating a lifetime to understanding, one may not manage to gain that extra edge.

"Little Five Uncle's Ghost God Three Surprises, the Qiankun Transformation is only the most elementary."

Chen Shi thought to himself, "More profound is the Yin Yang Change and Circulation Transformation. Little Five Uncle is indeed formidable."

The Yin Yang Change domain was one that Chen Shi had just begun to explore, only scratching the surface; as for the Circulation Transformation, due to the involvement of the rune changes of 2,400 Huaxia Gods, it was extremely complex and beyond understanding.

From this, one can see the strength of Creation Little Five.

Creation Little Five is Chen Yindou in perfect condition, dedicating all energy to progressing Daoist Skills, ignoring moral constraints.

In the distance, the wooden cart was still capturing ghost herds and grasshopper beasts everywhere, devouring eagerly, while the Black Pot was nowhere to be seen.

Now with the fusion of the two Yin Yang realms, the Black Pot's strength was immense. After revealing its True Body, even the Xia Family's Ghost Gods were no match for it, so Chen Shi was not worried.

His Hua Gai was also outside and had pursued the chase for over a thousand miles under his control.

"Before our era came to an end, there was a similar situation. But that time, it was even more terrifying." Little Dun Fairy's voice came up.

Chen Shi was slightly startled and turned to look at her.

Little Dun Fairy was always cold, previously often scolding him coldly because he was too close to Little Dun, rarely taking the initiative to talk to him, this was the first time.

Little Dun Fairy looked up at the bright moon in the sky, exhaling elegance, and said softly, "That time, first the moon underwent an evil change. The original moon disappeared, replaced by a gigantic eye. Righteous Qi in the world also had issues. Until one day, the sun in the sky grew tentacles, with flesh covering the sky."

Chen Shi recalled the Fog Month that appeared in the Ten Thousand Great Mountains and asked, "Did the Fog Month appear before the drastic changes?"

Little Dun Fairy nodded, saying, "In that era, becoming Immortal through cultivation was still normal. However, after the Fog Month appeared, the sun became polluted, the Heaven and Earth Righteous Qi turned into Evil QI, and even Immortals could not resist the pollution. Many seniors went mad under the sun."

Fear appeared on her face; evidently, the tragedies that occurred at that time were still vivid in her memory.

Chen Shi asked, "How did the sun in your era return to normal?"

Little Dun Fairy shook her head, saying, "In my terror, I sealed myself and did not see how the sun returned to normal. When I awoke, it was already what you call the True King Era."

Chen Shi inquired, "Did the True King Era also have the same situation? How did the True King Era's sun recover?"

Little Dun Fairy asserted, "Though it was a fleeting glimpse, I could see that the sun in our era was not the same as the sun in the True King Era."

Chen Shi's heart shook greatly, not the same sun?

Indeed!

The sun outside, which was polluted, should have been the sun of the Prehistoric Era!

In other words, the era Little Dun Fairy lived in did not yet have the Outer Heaven True God!

The Outer Heaven True God appeared afterwards!

He organized his thoughts slightly.

The first era was the Prehistoric Era. During the Shang and Zhou periods, the Shang were defeated by the Zhou, driven out, crossed the Sea of Darkness, and arrived at the West Bull New Continent.

At this time, the sun and moon were real; later, the Fog Month appeared, replacing the original moon, then the sun was polluted and turned into a blood sun. Catastrophes erupted, countless people of the Prehistoric Divine Race died, becoming today's Ghost Clan.

The second era was the True King Era. Sanbao led the Great Ming Soldiers to the West Bull New Continent, discovering the Outer Heaven True God's two eyes turned into two suns, the vertical eye on the forehead became a bright moon, with evil spirits everywhere on the ground, demons were rampant, thus starting the True King Era. But by this time, the sun and moon were no longer the true sun and moon.
