Above the Great Dao

The Grand Sacrificial Wine furrowed his brow, unsure of what Chen Shi's ulterior motives were.

Previously, Chen Shi was coerced by him into completing the Demon Technique, Profound Yin Nine Heavens Technique. However, demonizing the entire world was clearly against Chen Shi's wishes. Now, would Chen Shi benevolently offer Chu Feng the Taiqing Purple Qi to help him break through?

"Could he have awakened his past memories and become demonized?"

The Grand Sacrificial Wine felt a chill in his heart.

Under normal circumstances, Chen Shi had principles; though he appeared sinister, he was mostly decent. However, a demonized Chen Shi would stop at nothing, employing any means necessary.

He was very concerned that Chen Shi might use him up and then seize his power, monopolizing the Divine Capital!

Chen Shi took out a jade box and gently pushed it in front of the Grand Sacrificial Wine.

"Inside is a wisp of Taiqing Purple Qi. Refining the Purple Qi is enough to allow Chu Feng to break through to the Void Refinement Realm. When cultivating to the Divine Descent Realm, Chu Feng will utilize the Profound Yin Nine Heavens Technique, using the Outer Heaven True god to comprehend the Demon Path, and thus pollute the True God."

Chen Shi smiled, "With your cultivation, you are more than capable of helping Chu Feng refine this wisp of Taiqing Purple Qi."

The Grand Sacrificial Wine looked at the jade box before him. Jade was often used to make treasure-like storage devices that could store spiritual elixirs or spiritual energy. The jade box that Chen Shi pushed over was just an ordinary one, incapable of completely sealing the spiritual energy inside, resulting in slight leaks of spiritual energy.

Even the slight leakage of spiritual energy gave him a sensation akin to entering the Immortal Realm.

He had never heard of Taiqing Purple Qi, but based on the leaking spiritual energy alone, he could ascertain that this spiritual energy was extraordinary.

The Grand Sacrificial Wine accepted the jade box, saying, "Your Majesty, sending such spiritual energy surely isn't without purpose. I want to know Your Majesty's intention."

Chen Shi candidly replied, "I give you three days to help Chu Feng refine this wisp of Taiqing Purple Qi. It must be completed within these three days. If you cannot do it, I will come back and strip you of all your power."

His gaze was gentle, smiling as he said, "I mean what I say."

The Grand Sacrificial Wine snorted softly, indifferently saying, "Your Majesty, we are merely a step apart now, and your life and death are in my hands."

Chen Shi faintly smiled, "Not necessarily?"

His aura erupted, and in an instant, the entire Divine Capital was encompassed within his Void Great Realm!

The Grand Sacrificial Wine remained calm, saying, "Since Your Majesty wishes to try, I must fulfill Your Majesty's wish."

He raised his hand and pointed towards Chen Shi's forehead.

As his palm rose, the surroundings sped past like a revolving lantern, with the streets and buildings of the Divine Capital flashing by. The Grand Sacrificial Wine looked forward, seeing his own front hall, with Chen Shi and Chu Feng in the lounge, all in their original places, while he moved farther away!

Though seated there, he had already arrived outside the city, the surrounding mountains passing swiftly, and in an instant, he was exiled a thousand miles away!

The Grand Sacrificial Wine's expression darkened, channeling his mana, weaving the green Witch Sacrificial Dao Pattern over his palm, as a green ghost hand pierced through the space, headed straight for Chen Shi's heart a thousand miles away!

Long ago, he used this technique to pierce through the void, connecting the Yin Yang Two Realms, and controlled Chen Shi's heart from afar in the Divine Capital, holding Chen Shi's life and death in his hands.

Now, using the same method, he had no intention to kill Chen Shi but to remind him not to overreach. He used to be able to manipulate Chen Shi, supporting him to become the Demon Emperor, and now he could still manipulate him!

The green ghost hand pierced a thousand miles through space, reaching into the Divine Capital City, about to arrive at the Grand Sacrificial Wine's mansion.

Suddenly, the space in front of the main hall extended madly. No matter how fast the green ghost hand was or how many voids it pierced, it remained two zhang away from Chen Shi in the lounge.

Chen Shi looked over from a thousand miles away, raising a teacup to greet him from afar.

The Grand Sacrificial Wine's face changed drastically, immediately rising from his seat and striding furiously toward this direction, whistling in pursuit.

His green ghost hand still reached out, attempting to grasp Chen Shi's heart, and combined with his running speed, it soon far exceeded the spatial expansion speed around Chen Shi!

The Grand Sacrificial Wine approached with a howl, the thousand-mile space beneath his feet, and in a short moment, entered the hall, returning to his front hall entrance!

As he charged into the hall, his palm was about to pierce through Chen Shi's chest when suddenly a purple vine appeared behind Chen Shi's head, shook like a long whip, and whipped against the Grand Sacrificial Wine's palm with a snap!

Where the power of the Purple Heaven Vine reached, the green Witch Sacrificial Dao Pattern exploded with a crackle, causing the Grand Sacrificial Wine to hastily withdraw his hand, his fingers trembling uncontrollably, the Purple Heaven Vine having flayed his skin.

The strike from the Purple Heaven Vine seemed weak, but it was an exotic species capable of helping Immortal Families through the Opening Tribulation, extremely powerful. If the Grand Sacrificial Wine had not withdrawn his hand in time, even his hand bones might have been shattered!

Chen Shi remained seated, smiling as he raised a hand, saying, "Please have a seat, Grand Sacrificial Wine."

The Grand Sacrificial Wine was about to make another move, but saw himself sitting back at the tea table, with the chair that was a thousand miles away now behind him, as if it had never left.

The Grand Sacrificial Wine was silent for a moment, then sat down, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the seat. Rest assured, Your Majesty, within three days, I will surely help Chu Feng refine the Taiqing Purple Qi."

Chen Shi smiled, "Much obliged."

After a brief conversation, Chen Shi rose to take his leave, courteously, as the Grand Sacrificial Wine saw him off, both host and guest enjoyed themselves thoroughly.

After seeing Chen Shi off, the Grand Sacrificial Wine looked at his own right hand, which had been flayed, his expression darkening, and his palm trembled lightly uncontrollably.

The strike from the Purple Heaven Vine had caught him completely off guard, tearing his Witch Sacrificial Dao Pattern, and the pain was unbearable, a true agony!
