Above the Great Dao

"Chen Yindou, you are also undergoing an evil transformation, you will become the epitome of a heavenly disaster!" Jing Yushu laughed as he walked down the teahouse, his voice lingering.

Chen Yindou watched Jing Yushu depart, and whispered, "Everyone is transforming into evil spirits, what do evil spirits eat? Evil spirits produce nothing, they only know to hunt; if they can't eat humans, can't eat other creatures, they will eventually kill each other. Little Ten, what kind of mind-altering concoction did you give these guys? But..."

His gaze turned sharp, "You are so powerful, already like Demi Immortals, akin to Immortals. Why did you allow Little Ten, a ghost without a physical body, to become your Emperor back then?"

The owner of the blue ghost hand was particularly formidable, even Chen Yindou didn't know how strong he truly was.

When the two realms of Yin Yang merged into one, the owner of the ghost hand captured him with just a single move!

Such a powerful entity, yet willingly respected Chen Shi as the Emperor of that time, in Chen Yindou's opinion, there must be some hidden reasons.

"I wonder whether Little Ten's sealing is still firm?" He felt a bit worried.

Tingzhou, Gu County.

The underworld was filled with mountain ranges, where a powerful and extraordinary Ghost God resided among mountains, looking up at Little Dun Fairy leading Chen Shi into its territory.

This Ghost God, standing a thousand feet tall with many arms, called himself the Multi-Armed Ghost King, was a local lord owning many peaks with numerous ghost monsters under his command. In ordinary times, no cultivator dared to fly overhead without being knocked down and eaten. But this time was different; he sensed that the woman was very dangerous, and if he acted, it might be himself who gets eliminated.

The Multi-Armed Ghost King pretended not to see them, hoping the two didn't notice him, and flew by quickly.

Unexpectedly, the two landed.

The Multi-Armed Ghost King's heart skipped as the woman glanced at him and said, "Say nothing, act as if you haven't seen us, just like before. Understand?"

The Multi-Armed Ghost King nodded quickly.

In the mountains was a village of the Ghost Clan, named Bull Head Village, at its entrance stood a Bull Head gate tower.

Chen Shi and Little Dun Fairy hid in the village, where young Bull Heads ran wild, crashing their horns into each other in front of Bull Monster households, often seven or eight of them per house, creating quite a ruckus.

Once they grew older, they would serve the Multi-Armed Ghost King, building palaces, tending plants, offering incense, capturing ghost monsters, and attending to the Ghost King's daily needs.

If there wasn't enough need for manpower, their parents would forge a steel fork at a volcano's mouth, provide them with a small bundle, and chase them out the door to fend for themselves, since they couldn't afford to raise them anyway.

Little Dun Fairy and Chen Shi sheltered in the village, occasionally casting nervous looks skyward.

After a while, three formidable figures flew overhead, one scholar scanning below, paused, used ghost language to question the Multi-Armed Ghost King, and after a while, departed.

Little Dun Fairy released a breath.

"Finally safe."

She then realized she was still holding Chen Shi's hand, blushed slightly, and let go quickly, stepping away to Chen Shi's small shrine, placing the Blood Transformation Divine Saber on the Divine Shrine.

"If this Immortal Artifact can remain unused, it's best not to use it. It's too cursed."

She hesitated for a moment, imitating Chen Shi, and lit an incense stick for the Blood Transformation Divine Saber.

Emerging from the shrine, she saw Chen Shi had blended with the village's young Bull Heads.

Chen Shi punched them one by one, leaving the young Bull Heads battered and sprawling all over.

The cause was Chen Shi had transformed into a young Bull Head, collided heads with them, knocked one out, and continued to knock out another. The young Bull Heads, dissatisfied, came to fight him but ended up beaten themselves.

"Fourteen years old and still so childish."

Little Dun Fairy snorted, suddenly recalling that Chen Shi once collided heads with her, resulting in him being knocked out cold, which brought a smile to her face.

"This person hasn't grown up... But it was me who knocked him out, does that mean the other me hasn't grown up either?"

Just as she thought of this, she suddenly found another memory within Little Dun, where Chen Shi and someone named Wen Wuyu transformed into young Bull Heads for a head collision, she snorted coldly again.

Chen Shi subdued all the young Bull Heads, feeling relieved, clearing away the gloom from being controlled by the Blood Transformation Divine Saber.

"Can we leave now?" He asked Little Dun Fairy.

Little Dun Fairy brushed off the strange emotions in her heart and said, "Not yet. Those three are still searching for you everywhere. Wait a few days, only then leaving will be safe."

Her eyes flickered, "After you go outside, what are your plans?"

Chen Shi blinked and smiled, "I will, of course, go back to find the Black Pot and the Scholar, continue the Divine Enthronement. Fairy, don't try to test me, I'm fine now, as long as I don't grip that saber, there won't be any problems."

Little Dun Fairy sighed in relief, "I was just being overly suspicious. Are you planning to kill me and marry someone else?"

Chen Shi solemnly replied, "I was controlled by the Demon Sword then, thus spoke recklessly. I offer you my apology."

Little Dun Fairy smiled, dodged away, avoiding him from bowing to her.

They stayed in the small Bull Head village, choosing an unoccupied house, and the young Bull Heads defeated by Chen Shi came to clean the deserted house and attend to their daily needs, very considerate, treating them like wealthy lords.

Chen Shi sat in a rocking chair, two young Bull Heads rocking it.

Little Dun Fairy sat in the adjacent rocking chair, also attended by young Bull Heads.

Chen Shi asked perplexedly, "After my death back then, roaming the underworld, did I really subdue a large number of demons, disasters, and woes, making them regard me as Emperor? How did I subdue such powerful people? I always feel there's something odd here."
