On the Avenue.

Chapter 519: Banning Xiniu Island
Chen Shi fell into deep thought.

Taoist Qingyuan had no idea what happened afterwards, but he knew it all clearly.

The True King realized the influence of the evil energy between heaven and earth on the cultivators, and came to visit the Hill of Despair. There he comprehended a new method and obtained the innate Tao fetus, which aroused the fear of the Heavenly Venerable.

Later, the True God of the Universe fell into death, closed his eyes, the sun disappeared, and the Yin and Yang worlds merged. In order to save the world, the True King came to Despair Hill again. Tianzun killed the True King, but the True King took the opportunity to sacrifice his own soul, and the True God of the Universe revived and continued life for the world.

It can be said that the True King defeated the Heavenly Lord.

"And the last time a true god from outer space fell into death, it was because Grandpa and his men defeated the Heavenly Lord."

Chen Shi had a strange look on his face as he came to this conclusion.

At that time, Tianzun was tracking down the whereabouts of the Demon King. As a person who had died once, he was very worried about those who posed a threat to him, so the Demon King was an existence he had to eliminate. His departure from Despair Hill gave Chen Yindu and others an opportunity.

Chen Yindu sacrificed the sun and the moon of the upper world to extend the life of the true god from outer space, thus delaying Tianzun's plan to evilize Xiniu Xinzhou.

"But if the Lord was at Despair Hill at that time..."

Chen Shi suddenly shuddered, and then thought, "Tianzun is going to track down the whereabouts of the Demon Emperor. Isn't the Demon Emperor of the Divine Capital me?"

He looked strange. Tianzun was a frightened bird, but he was the bow. If Tianzun knew that the Demon King was him, he would probably laugh and then kill him.

Unconsciously, the willow leaf boat arrived at a bright place, where a huge lotus platform was seen emitting colorful light in the darkness. The Queen Mother Hou Tu floated up and landed on the lotus platform, and everyone also flew ashore.

The willow leaf also floated up from the sea, becoming smaller and smaller. Just as it was about to fly away, it was caught by Chen Shi's two fingers.

Willow Leaf flew away again, trying to break free from his control.

Chen Shi remained calm, holding the willow leaf steadily all the time, then put it into the small temple behind his head and lit three incense sticks for the willow leaf.

"Don't always bully little Liu'er!" said Queen Hou Tu, but she didn't ask him to hand over the willow leaf. She probably felt that her godson was closer to her.

Chen Shi didn't mention it either, and smiled and said, "When did godmother set up the ban?"

The Queen Mother Hou Tu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, if you become a true king, you will be able to order people around. After this long journey, I have not even had a rest for a moment, and I am being sent out to work."

She was smiling and didn't look angry.

Chen Shi smiled and said, "The sooner Godmother recovers her power, the sooner we can protect ourselves. By the way, Godmother, Wu Qi is still growing. Since Godmother knows all the treasures in Xuanhuang Sea, is there any treasure that can help Wu Qi grow faster?"

Queen Hou Tu smiled and said, "I do have a treasure that can help a golden immortal grow taller, but I'm afraid it might offend someone."

Chen Shi was excited: "As long as I do it cleanly, I am not afraid of offending people!"

Hou Tu Niangniang thought for a moment and said, "It is not impossible to do it cleanly... Your Majesty, I was almost led astray by you and became obsessed with other people's treasures. Please be patient. I will first set up a ban on the coast to protect the people of Xiniu Xinzhou, and then find a few people who can do it cleanly."

She held Caner's hand and walked out excitedly.

Chen Shi hurriedly followed him out and said, "Godmother, if you want to pray for the incense, you must show your holiness in front of people and let the world know that the ban protecting the coast of the world was done by you."

The Queen Mother Hou Tu said, "I am not used to showing my divine power in front of others, let alone sealing off the coastlines of the world. I only need to go to a beach and cast a spell. Can I run all over the coastline of Xiniu Island and show my divine power everywhere?"

Chen Shi said: "In this case, I will order Hongshan Hall to publicize the deeds of the goddess in various places and gather incense for the goddess."

The Queen Mother Hou Tu took Can'er's hand and left, saying, "Then I will trouble your Majesty."

The two figures disappeared.

Chen Shi said to Taoist Qingyuan: "Now that I am the current True King, Taoist, why don't you follow me to rest in the world of the living."

Taoist Qingyuan put his wooden boat into the Void Realm, a little nervous: "If the Heavenly Venerable knew I was here, he would definitely come looking for me. I am afraid that I will cause trouble for Your Majesty. Your Majesty, I will rest in your place for a while, and when my cultivation is restored, I will sail away. What do you think?"

Chen Shi turned around and looked at him: "The King of Shang treated me well back then. Don't I want to avenge the King of Shang, Zi Yu, and the people of Shang?"

Taoist Qingyuan hesitated for a moment and said, "I have not yet achieved Dao integration, and my strength is far from that of the Heavenly Venerable. Even if I stay, I am afraid I will not be able to help. If I stay, the Heavenly Venerable will catch me again and will definitely force me to hand over the whereabouts of other Shenzhou worlds!"

Chen Shi's eyes became sharper. "Shang Wang Ziyu used all his strength, at the cost of his own life and the Dynasty's life, to seal Tianzun in the Slope of Despair. It was you who released Tianzun."

Taoist Qingyuan looked away, not daring to meet his gaze, and said, "Even without me, he can still find a way to leave the Slope of Despair..."

"But, it's faster with you."

Chen Shi's words were as sharp as a knife. "After all, it was you who helped the previous Shang King build the Slope of Despair. You know a lot of secrets."

Taoist Qingyuan's face was uncertain. Chen Shi said, "Both generations of Shang kings have been kind to you, and I have also saved your life."

Taoist Qingyuan struggled internally and said, "My cultivation is low, and I am afraid of death..."

Chen Shi stopped forcing her and said, "In that case, you can rest in the imperial capital first. You can leave whenever you want. I won't try to keep you."

Taoist Qingyuan said hesitantly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding..."

Chen Shi led him out of the Niangniang Temple. Taoist Liu looked at him intently and said, "Your Majesty, this Taoist's willow leaf..."

Chen Shi smiled and said, "The Queen gave it to me."

Taoist Liu also laughed and said, "Just now the Queen said that she told you not to bully me. It was clearly telling you to return the willow leaf to me."

Chen Shi shook his head and said, "The Queen only told me not to bully you, but she didn't tell me to return the willow leaf to you. Besides, it's just a willow leaf. You have plenty of them. Why be stingy with this one?"

Taoist Liu complained, "This leaf is different from the others. It's a treasure that I have refined through thousands of trials. I don't have many of them on me, only three. These three make a set, and can be used to set up the Heavenly Immortal Three Absolute Formation. If you steal one, I will need to refine for hundreds of years before I can refine another one!"

Chen Shi hesitated for a moment and said apologetically, "Master Liu, I misunderstood you. I thought you were stingy and didn't want to lend it to me. It turns out there is another reason. I will return the willow leaf to you."

He took out the willow leaf and was about to return it when he said, "Master, since you can use this willow leaf to set up an array, why don't you lend me the other two? To be honest, I'm afraid I'll have to go out to sea several more times during this period. If I have the protection of the Three Absolute Arrays of the Heavenly Immortals, I will definitely be much safer."

Taoist Liu stared at the willow leaf in his hand, hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay. I'll lend it to you."

Chen Shi was overjoyed, returned the willow leaf and thanked him again.

Taoist Liu quickly returned the gift, thinking, "If I lend him one willow leaf, he will cheat me because I still have two. But if I lend him three willow leaves, he will not cheat me."

Chen Shi brought Taoist Qingyuan back to the imperial capital of the Yang world, arranged for Taoist Qingyuan to stay, and said: "If Taoist wants to leave, there is no need to resign, just leave directly."

Taoist Qingyuan nodded silently.

Chen Shi looked up at the West King's Jade Seal in the sky. Around the seal were floating the mountains, rivers, and states of fifty provinces. These two treasures could mobilize the power of all the gods between the mountains and rivers, gather them in the West King's Jade Seal, and burst out a peerless attack!
These two treasures are divine weapons, but their power surpasses all the immortal weapons in Chen Shi’s hands!
"However, you cannot defeat the Heavenly Lord with this treasure. If you could defeat the Heavenly Lord, the previous True King would have done it long ago."

Chen Shi's eyes fell on one of the pictures of mountains, rivers and the country. In the picture, one can see that Hou Tu Niangniang is already holding Caner's hand and coming to the coast.

The goddess Hou Tu sacrificed the silkworms, and the little white-haired girl turned into a white silkworm in the air, more than a meter long from head to tail, and spit out a strand of light silk in the air.

A stream of incense flowed out from behind Hou Tu Niangniang's head and connected to the silk. In the incense air, all kinds of strange talisman marks flowed. As the two merged, those talisman marks were imprinted on the fine silk.

Hou Tu Niangniang pinched her orchid finger, bent her finger and flicked it, and the silk thread floated forward along the coastline.

Incredibly fine silk continued to flow out of the mouth of the Heavenly Silkworm. The incense vapor behind the head of the Queen Mother Hou Tu also continued to fly out, connecting with the silk to form a talisman imprint, the two merged into one and continued to extend.

The flying silk became fainter and fainter, and gradually, it seemed to blend into the air and disappear into thin air.

Soon, the fat silkworm became thin.

By the time the silk had gone around the world along the coastline, the plump white silkworm had become skinny, shriveled, and looked like it was about to die.

The celestial silkworm hurriedly twisted its body and turned into a small silkworm. It touched the mulberry leaf on its neck and found it was still there. It took a bite and then sighed with satisfaction.

The Queen Mother Hou Tu smiled and said, "A silkworm will not stop spinning silk until it dies. Your silk is still there, so you cannot die."

She returned with the silkworms.

Chen Shi's eyes were still on the coastline. He observed carefully and finally found a few monsters that were about to land in a cloudy area.

The monsters had just arrived at the shore and were about to climb up the city wall. Just as their sharp claws were placed on the shore, suddenly, a silent string in the air seemed to vibrate violently.

The next moment, the monsters froze there, motionless.

Suddenly, with a loud crash, several monsters were cut into countless pieces and died.

Chen Shi heaved a long sigh and whispered, "Now, we don't have to worry about the monsters in the sea."

At this time, on the altar of Despair Hill, one of the immortals was also observing this scene, while the other immortals were watching the battle between the Imperial Capital and the Twelve Families in the bronze mirror.

"At the beginning, Immortal Kou ordered us to inspect the world, but if the bandit leader and Queen Hou Tu committed evil, we would go down the mountain and punish them."

An immortal said, "Now, the bandit leader Chen Shi has gathered a group of masters to successively destroy the eight great families. Only four of the thirteen families remain, and countless children of the families have been killed or injured. The bandit leader Chen Shi has ascended the throne in Xinxiang City and called himself the True King. Are they doing evil? Should we, Despair Hill, intervene?"
