On the Avenue.

Chapter 523: One less enemy
The eight Heavenly Dao Immortals were deeply shocked by the scene before them, and their calls of "Brother Dao" came from the bottom of their hearts.

Chen Shi comprehended Yin and Yang, and realized the principle of the coordination of Yin and Yang. He used this to open up the void and form a grand realm. Once the grand realm came into being, it dispelled evil spirits within a square thousand miles and caused strange changes in the celestial phenomena. They could not help but admire him.

Especially Feng Ruotong, he had seen Chen Shi's Yin-Yang Dojo twice. Each time, it brought him great shock.

The first time, he realized that Chen Shi’s Yin-Yang Taoist Temple could refine evil spirits, and finally a glimmer of hope emerged in his despair.

The second time, he discovered that Chen Shi's practice had improved again, and the speed of improvement was astonishingly fast.

This time, Chen Shi shocked him even more. He actually observed the Yin-Yang Qi Bottle and comprehended a deeper truth!
This talent and understanding truly deserves the title of a talented student!
"Although Wuwang has obtained the innate Dao fetus, I am afraid, I am afraid..."

A thought popped up in Feng Ruotong's mind, "I'm afraid I'm far inferior to him."

Chen Shi stretched his body lazily, looked at them in surprise, and said with a smile: "What do you mean? I just couldn't help myself for a moment and broke through to the Return to Void Realm. How dare I be your brother? Please stand up quickly. Please stand up quickly!"

The eight celestial immortals each stood up.

Xi Xianren said: "Your Majesty has pioneered new things and has done what no one else can do. Everyone on Despair Hill admires you. We no longer doubt your Majesty's ability to save the world. Now, we only need to go back to Despair Hill and check the tombs of the 18 business ministers to verify whether the Heavenly Lord is real or fake!"

Taoist Wen said quickly: "The Heavenly Master may come out of retreat at any time, so we should return to Despair Slope immediately without delay!"

Feng Ruotong put away the Yin-Yang Qi bottle and said in a deep voice: "I also want to go back and verify it! If I don't see it with my own eyes, I will always have doubts. Taoist Qingyuan, please come with us!"

Taoist Qingyuan hesitated, feeling very reluctant, but he had not yet achieved the state of harmony with the Dao, and was far from being a match for Feng Ruotong and the others, so he had no choice but to nod and agree.

Chen Shi said: "If you encounter Tianzun when you return to Despair Hill, you must be careful not to be discovered by him. Zhong Wuwang said that Tianzun is extremely suspicious."

Feng Ruotong smiled and said, "We still have some cunning. Your Majesty, don't worry. After verifying that Tianzun is the culprit, we will immediately leave Despair Hill and meet up with Your Majesty!"

He was about to leave when he suddenly stopped, thought for a moment, took out the Yin-Yang Qi bottle and placed it in Chen Shi's hand.

Chen Shi looked at him in surprise. Feng Ruotong smiled and said, "This treasure is the most powerful magic weapon in my Despair Hill. It is the only treasure that can rival the Heavenly Blood-Transforming Divine Sword. It was originally brought to Despair Hill by the True King. The True King died at the hands of the Heavenly Venerable, and this treasure was kept in the Eternal Immortal Pavilion. If I take it back, I must return it to the Eternal Immortal Pavilion. It is better to leave it with Your Majesty first."

Chen Shi returned the Yin Yang Qi bottle to him and shook his head, saying, "If you meet the Heavenly Lord and he sees through you, this treasure may be able to save your lives."

Feng Ruotong hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, do you have any incense? Light a stick of incense on this bottle."

Upon hearing this, Chen Shi lit a stick of incense and inserted it into the bottle.

Feng Ruotong smiled and said, "We monks of Despair Hill only worship the true gods outside the sky, not external objects. This bottle has never received incense and sacrifice. Your Majesty's incense can be said to be its first incense. From now on, this treasure will be connected with your blood."

Chen Shi's heart moved slightly, and he indeed sensed a strange breath, breathing with him.

He was a great master of both Yin and Yang, and the path he took was similar to that of the Yin-Yang Qi Bottle. A little energy connection between them made him feel like he had met a close friend.

This feeling is different from the Tianluo Blood-Transforming Divine Sword.

The Tianluo Blood-Transforming Divine Sword is connected to the Blood Lake Sutra. The sword has a strong demonic nature and always wants to occupy Chen Shi's thoughts and consciousness and control him.

The Yin-Yang Qi Bottle is like a friend in need, a world away from home.

Chen Shi was quite surprised to be called a fellow Taoist with a magic weapon.

However, this stick of incense did bring him great benefits.

Feng Ruotong put away the Yin and Yang Qi bottle, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, we will meet again in the future."

Chen Shi returned the greeting and when he stood up, Feng Ruotong left with the other seven celestial immortals.

"Feng Ruotong has a pure heart, and so do Immortal Ping and the others."

Chen Shi recalled what Zhong Wuwang had told him about Immortal Kou's deeds, and thought to himself, "It's the same with Immortal Kou. The Heavenly Dao Immortals of Despair Hill are stubborn, but their goal is to maintain order in the world so that people can survive and reproduce. When Despair Hill is no longer needed, they will immediately betray it."

At this time, Caner came running from outside, rushed to his side, looked up and shouted: "Brother, I'm hungry!"

Chen Shi checked the mulberry leaves hanging around her neck and found that she had eaten all of them. He quickly took out a hibiscus leaf and hung it around her neck.

The silkworms held the mulberry leaves and ate them in small bites, not daring to eat too much at one go.

Chen Shi's heart moved slightly. He took her hand and came to the underworld and climbed up to Houde Palace.

The Queen Mother Hou Tu was already sitting cross-legged on the lotus throne in Houde Palace, holding a thick account book in her hands and flipping through it. When she saw them coming, she quickly closed the account book and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I have already set up a seal around the entire world. The monsters in the sea, don't even think about invading."

Chen Shi asked curiously, "What is the queen flipping through?"

"Just a little account."

Queen Hou Tu remained calm and said, "I have a bad memory, so you have to write down all the people who offended me, so that I won't forget. I took revenge a few days ago, and I have to cross them off quickly, so that I won't have to repay them more in the future." Chen Shi stretched his neck to look at the account book behind her. Queen Hou Tu protected the account book and smiled, "It's not my revenge, it's someone else's revenge, and I was asked to handle it. Some revenges are not easy to handle, so they are piled up. But now I finally have a way... Haha, let's not talk about this. Your Majesty, aren't you looking for a panacea to save Wu Qi? Just now, I remembered that there is a treasure hidden in a place called Zitian vine, and there is a kind of purple gourd on the vine."

Her eyes sparkled, and her breathing was a little rapid. She said, "This treasure blooms once every ten thousand years, bears fruit once every ten thousand years, and matures once every ten thousand years to grow a gourd. But ordinary people cannot pick this thing. You must first use a talisman to imprint it on the gourd before you can pick it. I will draw a rebirth talisman on your hand, and you can find the purple gourd produced by the purple sky vine. Just press your palm on it and you can pick the gourd."

Chen Shi asked, "Can the gourd save Wu Qi?"

The Queen Mother Hou Tu smiled and said, "This treasure belongs to Zi Tian... Of course it can save him. You use the Rebirth Talisman to imprint it on the gourd, and this gourd will become the Rebirth Gourd. Saw open the mouth of the gourd, and a gourd seed inside can make Wu Qi reborn, grow flesh and blood, and regenerate his soul. It is countless times faster than it is now!"

Chen Shi tried to probe: "This Zi Tian or something, could it be that he is an enemy in my godmother's account book?"

The Queen Mother Hou Tu chuckled and said, "How could I have any enemies? Who dares to make an enemy of me? All right, all right, don't let your imagination run wild. Do you want to pick this gourd?"

"Go! Of course you want to go!"

Chen Shi was in high spirits, and walked out, saying, "I'm going to borrow something from Taoist Liu!"

The Queen Mother Hou Tu said, "He is a miserable man, don't always take his things!"

"Don't worry, godmother. I'll take care of it."

When Chen Shi arrived outside the palace, Taoist Liu was planning to bury the captured masters of various noble families in the soil so that he could absorb nutrients more easily. When he saw Chen Shi coming, his heart skipped a beat.

Chen Shi said: "I have come to borrow the Three Absolute Formations of the Celestial Immortals from the Taoist."

Taoist Liu handed the willow leaves to him, somewhat reluctantly, and said, "Your Majesty, please be careful. I only have these three willow leaves."

Chen Shi took the willow leaf and did not leave. He still stood there. Taoist Liu said aggrievedly, "I really don't have any other treasures."

Chen Shi smiled and said, "That's not what I meant. I just don't know how to practice the Three Absolute Formations of the Celestial Immortals."

Taoist Liu had no choice but to teach him the Yunlian method, thinking: "Now that he has learned the Yunlian method, will he return it to me? He will, right?"

When Chen Shi returned to Houde Palace, he saw that Hou Tu Niangniang had taken out her account book and was scribbling something. When she saw him coming, she quickly put it away and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, please look."

She raised her hand and pointed lightly, and saw a divine light flying out from the lotus platform and extending to the dark yellow sea behind.

The Queen Mother Hou Tu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, just follow this light and you will reach the Purple Sky. When you reach the Purple Sky, you will be able to see the Purple Sky vine, which is very eye-catching. Your Majesty, please stretch out your hand."

Chen Shi stretched out his left hand, and the slender jade fingers of Hou Tu drew a pattern on his palm. Then a golden talisman appeared on his palm. It was extremely complex and somewhat different from ordinary talismans. It contained Taoist patterns, which was unique.

Chen Shi's heart was slightly shocked, and just as he was about to study it carefully, the golden talisman had disappeared.

The Queen Mother Hou Tu said, "Don't use your left hand to fight against others, otherwise the rebirth talisman will take effect on that person and send him to the afterlife. Your left hand can only be impressed on the gourd, remember this."

"Fighting against others?"

Chen Shi was about to ask, but the empress waved her hand and said with a smile, "Go ahead. The sooner you go, the sooner you will be back."

Chen Shi fell into the Xuanhuang Sea involuntarily. Looking back, he saw a lotus pedestal as big as a mountain, and the Queen was sitting on it, looking extremely majestic.

He calmed himself down, and immediately offered up a willow leaf. The willow leaf turned into a boat. Chen Shi sat on the boat, and the willow leaf boat sailed through the air along the bridge of light.

Chen Shi had been flying for an unknown amount of time. On both sides was the dark sea, surging and rolling, and from time to time the silhouette of a giant sea monster flashed by.

"Am I in the dark sea? But it doesn't seem like it." He thought to himself.

He looked around and thought that this trip should be different from the last time he went into the sea. This time it was more like passing through some strange dark medium.

The bridge of light was like a passage, and he seemed to be traveling through the void.

But why is there such a dark medium in the void? Why are there giant sea monsters?

He was thinking when suddenly a bright light appeared in front of his eyes, extremely dazzling. The next moment, the willow leaf boat flew out of the passage and appeared in a magnificent world.

That world was like a fairyland. The first thing that caught the eye was an unimaginable wisteria, hanging upside down from the sky and drooping to the ground. No one knew how high or how thick it was!
Chen Shi stared at the scene blankly, then flew towards Zither with gritted teeth.

"Purple sky... It's the sky held up by purple vines! What is the origin of the gourd that the Queen asked me to pick?"

In Houde Palace, Queen Hou Tu took out the account book, picked up the red brush, and with a smile on her face, she erased a name on the account book.

"The number of enemies has been reduced by one... Immortal Lord Zi Tian, ​​have a safe journey in the calamity."
