On the Avenue.

Chapter 529 Are you awake?
Chen Shi arrived at Houde Palace, where Queen Hou Tu was just walking out of the palace. She had changed her attire and was wearing a light yellow Taoist robe with golden lapels and a green lining, which was very simple.

She had long hair draped over her shoulders and wore no makeup, but had earrings woven from pearl necklaces hanging from her earlobes, which made her look very fresh. In her hand she held a golden shovel, which was only three feet long and quite small.

"Where is godmother going?" Chen Shi asked.

"It's boring to always stay in the palace and settle accounts. Why not just plant some purple vines while I have free time?"

The queen smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please come together."

Chen Shi followed her, and the two of them came to a high hill. The empress looked for a suitable place to plant the purple vine and said, "The purple vine is really overbearing. We need to keep it away from Xiao Liu'er to avoid it entangles him to death."

Chen Shi considered his words carefully and said, "I followed my godmother's instructions and planted the witch and gourd seeds. Now the witch has grown. But today, when I looked, there were two witches."

"Only two?"

Queen Hou Tu was surprised and asked, "Wu Qi is so powerful? He only gave birth to two. Could he have been a Taiyi Golden Immortal in his lifetime?"

Chen Shi's heart skipped a beat: "Could there be new witch contracts growing?"

Hou Tu Niangniang selected a location and planned to dig the loess. Chen Shi grabbed the golden shovel and took the initiative to do it for her.

Empress Hou Tu put on this refreshing dress because she planned to plant the Purple Sky Vine herself. However, she was happy to have Chen Shi to do it for her. She smiled and said, "In the Earthly Immortal Realm, there was a Taiyi Golden Immortal who died at the hands of his enemy. He was resurrected by the gourd seeds of the Purple Sky Vine. Two Taiyi Golden Immortals grew on the vine. I think the seeds in the fairy gourd contained the power of the Purple Sky Vine, which was too strong, so an extra one was prepared. Later, this person found his enemy, took revenge, and exchanged his life for his enemy's. The enemy died with him, but he didn't expect that after his death, he would be resurrected from the body on the vine. This incident caused quite a stir, and the Purple Sky Vine has attracted people's attention."

Chen Shi dug the pit and said, "When the fruit of the Purple Sky Vine is ripe, you can come down. Doesn't that mean there will be two of you?"

The Queen Mother Hou Tu said, "No. The main body must die before the other self on the vine can become the main body. What is the realm of Wu Qi?"

Chen Shi guessed: "Wu Qi should not be Taiyi Jinxian, but just Jinxian realm."

The goddess Hou Tu took out the gourd seeds, bent down, and planted the gourd seeds in the pit, saying, "Then there won't be two incarnations. Maybe there will be twenty or thirty."

"Twenty or thirty?" Chen Shi was shocked.

The Queen Mother Hou Tu took the shovel from him and cultivated the soil herself, saying, "The gap between the Golden Immortal and the Taiyi Golden Immortal is too big to be compared. It is already a small number to form twenty or thirty witch contracts. If the strength of the witch contract is not that high, it should not be a problem to form a hundred or so."

Chen Shi couldn't help but feel envious when he heard this: "It would be great if I could also be immortal like this."

The Queen Mother Hou Tu smiled and said, "It's neither good nor bad to be like him. The strength you had when you were planted is the same as your strength after you are resurrected. No matter how much progress you make in your cultivation during this period, your strength after resurrection will not change."

Chen Shi smiled and said, "Having twenty or thirty lives is better than having none."

The Queen Mother Hou Tu smiled and said, "That's true."

At this time, the soil arched, and a tiny sprout grew out of the soil, swaying as it grew upwards.

The goddess Hou Tu was muttering to herself, with divine light floating around her body, like colorful clouds, drawing the power of the avenue between heaven and earth around her.

Under the nourishment of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, the Purple Sky Vine grew faster and faster, stretching out its slender branches, piercing into the void, and climbing upwards.

Unlike the Purple Sky Vine planted by Chen Shi, this Purple Sky Vine absorbs the free Yin energy between heaven and earth, is connected to the Great Dao of heaven and earth, and grows faster than Chen Shi's Purple Sky Vine!

Chen Shi looked up and saw the purple vine extending upwards. Its leaves were getting bigger and bigger, and its branches were getting thicker and thicker. Its height had already exceeded a hundred feet.

The rhizome of the Purple Sky Vine is already four or five feet thick and is still getting thicker. The aura emanating from the vine is also getting stronger!

The purple vine became thicker and thicker, forcing Chen Shi to retreat continuously.

In just a short moment, the Purple Sky Vine had already reached a height of a thousand feet and was still growing.

"The geography of the underworld is complex. There are two layers of the underworld, the Buddhist hell created by Buddhism, the capital of gods and the capital of demons. The jurisdiction of the underworld is only 20% to 30% of the entire underworld, and it is difficult to manage it all."

The Queen Mother Hou Tu floated up and said, "Therefore, I plan to use the Purple Sky Vine to unify the heaven and earth avenues of the underworld and integrate them into one. I will use the Purple Sky Vine to combine the heaven and earth avenues, and the Purple Sky Vine will become the carrier of the heaven and earth avenues of the underworld. Then I will use the reincarnation avenue to be consistent, so as to evolve the principles and morals of the underworld and determine the orthodoxy of the underworld."

Chen Shi's heart moved slightly, and he floated up with her to see how she would lead the great way of heaven and earth.

Suddenly, the heaven and earth shook violently. Chen Shi looked into the distance and saw mountains appearing out of thin air, with the heaven and earth extending in all directions.

That was another underworld hidden beneath the original underworld, the underworld where the Ten Thousand Mountains were located. At this moment, under the influence of the Purple Sky Vine, the two underworlds began to merge.

At the same time, the Buddhist hell in the underworld also emerged in the violent shaking of heaven and earth. The immortal capital, the god capital, the devil's realm, and other incredible places were also affected by the purple sky vine.

The surrounding mountains and rivers were rapidly disappearing, new mountains and rivers kept emerging, and the territory of the underworld was becoming larger and larger, which was shocking.

The purple vine grew to the zenith and before it stopped, its branches began to extend in all directions.

The goddess Hou Tu used the wheel of reincarnation to sacrifice and refine the purple sky vine, bringing the entire underworld into the wheel of reincarnation.

"Your Majesty uses Purple Sky Vine for public purposes, while I use it for my own personal purposes. I am far inferior to Your Majesty." Chen Shi admired her deeply.

This purple sky vine grows too fast. Even with the power of the Earth Goddess in the future, it will not be easy to refine this vine.

"Your Majesty, please come back."

Niangniang Hou Tu said, "It will take some time to refine this vine. You don't need to stay here with me."

Chen Shi thought for a moment and said, "Godmother, the silkworms are almost finished with their hibiscus leaves. I want to pick more, but I don't know the way. Can you show me the way?"

"Can'er is the silkworm raised by Qin Xianjun. He wants to borrow her power to survive the disaster. You stole his silkworms and went back to get the hibiscus leaves. Aren't you walking into a trap?"

The queen said, "If you go there again, you will be killed by Qin Xianjun."

Chen Shi frowned slightly. Without hibiscus leaves, wouldn't the silkworms starve?
The Queen Mother Hou Tu said, "The girl is still growing up, so she can't be without food... I'm in a hurry to refine the Purple Sky Vine, so I can't get away. How about this, you let Wu Qi go with you, and I'll show you the way. What do you think? He is very powerful and he is not afraid of being beaten to death."

Chen Shi's heart moved slightly, this was a good idea.

He returned to the imperial capital and walked excitedly towards the Imperial Garden. As soon as he arrived at the Imperial Garden, he saw a middle-aged man standing under the purple vine, looking at his other self on the vine with a puzzled look on his face.

The middle-aged man raised his hand and touched the scar left by the gourd stem on his head, then looked at the other self on the vine, and became even more confused.

"grandfather!"

The other him on Fujin saw Chen Shi coming and shouted excitedly.

Chen Shi's heart skipped a beat. Wu Qi turned around and looked at him. Chen Shi walked up to him and said with a smile, "Brother Wu Qi, are you awake?"

Wu Qi's eyes fell on him and asked, "Who are you?"

Chen Shi said: "I am Chen Shi, the true king of Xiniuzhou. It has been 16,000 years since you died in battle."

Wu Qi frowned slightly: "Are you the King of Shang in this era? I don't detect any royal blood in your body. Where is your Xuanniao Royal Blood?"

Chen Shi said, "Wu Qi, the Shang Dynasty ended 16,000 years ago. More than 10,000 years ago, when we, the Daming people, landed on this land, we did not find any merchants. There were only evil spirits and monsters on the entire continent."

Wu Qi was lost in thought, and suddenly burst into tears. He murmured, "The Great Shang Dynasty is dead?"

"Now, the Shang people have turned into ghosts and live in the underworld. I am incompetent, but I have become the leader of the ghost tribe."

Chen Shi said, "Now, I am trying to turn the ghosts back into Shang people, and I have achieved some success. Now, I can also be considered the King of Shang..."

"presumptuous!"

Wu Qi snorted, the sound was like thunder, shocking Chen Shi's blood and qi, and he said murderously, "The black bird descended to give birth to the Shang Dynasty! It is the will of heaven for the royal family of the Shang Dynasty to rule the world! You spread lies to confuse the people, according to the laws of the Shang Dynasty, you should be punished by burning with fire!" Chen Shi said calmly, "Wu Qi, the Shang Dynasty is long gone. Now I saved you, is this how you treat your benefactor?"

Wu Qi said coldly: "I will repay you for saving my life. But I will never let you be the King of Shang! Only those of royal blood can be the King of Shang! Shang will never be destroyed! I will awaken those sleeping Shang immortals and revive Shang!"

Chen Shi smiled and said, "Wake them up and let them become evil? Without me to eliminate the evil spirit, any of them who wake up will only become evil and become evil immortals."

Wu Qi frowned, and after a moment, he said, "You don't have the Wuji Dao pattern, so you are a slave in the Shang Dynasty. Since ancient times, there has never been a slave who became the king of the Shang Dynasty... However, I am in charge of all the Wuji Dao patterns in the world, so I can give you a great bloodline and make you the Great Sima."

"The Great Shang is gone, what do I need the Great Sima Ming for?"

Chen Shi shook his head and said, "I also understand the Great Siming Wuji Dao Pattern you mentioned. I can even use the Dantian Siming Xuan Gong that works with the Great Siming Wuji Dao Pattern."

Wu Qi frowned and said, "I can make you a governor and grant you a large piece of land."

Chen Shi shook his head and said, "Now I am the lord of Xiniu New Continent. The entire Xiniu New Continent, both the Yin and Yang worlds, are my land. Why do I need you to confer the title on me?"

Wu Qi looked up to the sky and shed tears, muttering: "This great country has fallen into the hands of slaves, what a waste of heaven's gifts. Has the fate of the Great Shang Dynasty really come to an end?"

"stubborn!"

Chen Shi muttered inwardly, and then told the story of how he went to the ruins of the Great Shang Heavenly Palace, found Wu Qi's corpse, and fought with Tian Zun. He said, "Wu Qi, do you still remember the time when you and Tian Zun both suffered heavy losses?"

"Are you talking about Xun Jiangmu?"

Wu Qi's face darkened and he gritted his teeth and asked, "He's still alive? Where is he?"

Chen Shi said: "He is in Tiandao City, Despair Hill. Now he is the God of Despair Hill..."

Wu Qi's hair flew in anger, and he flew up and shouted, "Despair Hill? How dare he hide in Despair Hill! Where is the Shangchen of Despair Hill?"

Chen Shi said: "He has been killed."

Wu Qi was angry and sad, tears streaming down his face: "How hateful! How hateful! Slave King, if you help me kill him, I will not hold you responsible for being the King of Shang!"

Chen Shi said angrily: "My name is Chen Shi, I am the true king of the Ming Dynasty, not a slave! I am the ruler of Tianchi State because I was recommended by the merchants and the people, and I am the will of the people!"

Wu Qi remained silent, obviously still believing that since he had no Dao patterns, he was a slave.

Chen Shi snorted and didn't bother with him. He said, "You want to avenge the Shang Dynasty, and I also want to get rid of Tianzun and restore the world to normal. I don't care about this with you. Wuqi, didn't you say you wanted to repay me for saving your life? I don't want your Wuji Dao pattern, nor do I want to learn your immortal immortal method. I just want you to do one thing for me, and the life-saving grace can be written off."

Wu Qi's heart was slightly moved, and he asked, "What's the matter?"

Chen Shi smiled and said, "Help me carry a tree back from the sea."

Wu Qi smiled and said, "Is it a deal?"

"A word is settled!"

Wu Qi breathed a sigh of relief and thought, "After repaying the Slave King's kindness and working with the Slave King to eliminate the Heavenly Lord, I will awaken those self-sealed Great Shang Immortals. There must be royal blood among them. When the time comes to kill the Slave King, there will be hope for the Great Shang to be revived!"

Chen Shi took him to the Houde Palace in the underworld to ask for an audience with the Goddess Hou Tu.

When Wu Qi saw Hou Tu Niangniang, he was shocked and hurried forward to greet her, saying, "I am Wu Qi, the unworthy descendant of later generations, and I pay my respects to the Wu Zu Di Mu Niangniang!"

Queen Hou Tu glanced at him and said with a smile, "So you also know that you are an unworthy descendant. You moved here and did not worship me. You deserve to be exterminated."

Wu Qi's face flushed, and he said, "Mrs. Dimu, you don't know that we were banished by the Great Zhou Dynasty and labeled as criminals. A criminal seal was set in our bloodline, prohibiting us from worshipping any gods. We cannot contact any of the ancient gods."

The Queen Mother Hou Tu said, "Jiang Taigong did go too far. But who told you to always use the Qiang people for sacrifice? You used his people as sacrifices, and they didn't kill you all, which was already merciful. You came back to life, and you owed a great favor to His Majesty the True King. His Majesty the True King is the key to the revival of your Great Shang, and you must protect him, understand?"

Wu Qi agreed and said, "Qi will definitely repay the True King!"

Empress Hou Tu looked at him deeply and said, "Also, be more careful when you go out."

Wu Qi was puzzled and didn't dare to ask in detail.

The Queen Mother Hou Tu pointed casually and said, "Your Majesty, I have pointed out a road for you. Your Majesty, follow the road and you will find the Fusang tree."

Chen Shi thanked him and said to Wu Qi, "Brother, please follow me."

Wu Qi followed him into Houde Palace. When they came to the lotus platform, they saw a bright avenue behind the lotus platform, leading directly to the sea of ​​darkness.

Taoist Liu came over and said, "The Queen has ordered me to steer the boat for you two."

Chen Shi expressed his gratitude.

Taoist Liu took out a willow leaf and placed it in the light. The willow leaf grew in the wind. Taoist Liu said, "Please come in, both of you."

Chen Shi and Wu Qi boarded the willow-leaf boat. Taoist Liu personally rowed the boat for the two of them, and they rowed away along the light.

Speechless all the way.

The sun and moon were not visible in the darkness. After an unknown amount of time, the willow-leaf boat finally sailed out of the dark sea and entered the Xuanhuang Sea. Two days later, they saw the Fusang tree in the sea from afar.

Chen Shi asked Taoist Liu to stop the boat and said, "Wu Qi is that tree. If you take this tree, the favor of saving my life will be written off."

Wu Qi stood up and ran straight towards the Fusang tree.

On the Fusang tree, two fairies hid in the Yuzhen Palace, paying attention to the surrounding movements, thinking: "The Immortal Lord ordered that this person who stole the silkworms would definitely come back to steal mulberry leaves. But after all these days, why hasn't he come back yet?"

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw a flash of lightning heading straight for the Fusang tree. The lightning suddenly stopped under the tree, revealing a tall man.

The next moment, the man under the tree bent and stretched out his body, revealing a huge body of several thousand feet long, and pulled the tree out by the waist!
The hibiscus tree was so tall that it was shaken by this man and fell to the ground!
"The thief who stole the silkworm has finally arrived!"

The two girls laughed angrily, "He didn't come back to steal mulberry leaves, he came back to steal the hibiscus tree as well!"

The two girls immediately burned incense and informed Qin Xianjun.

Qin Xianjun arrived immediately, and seeing that the Fusang tree was about to be uprooted by this man, he sneered and said, "Daoyou, you stole my silkworm and ruined my plan to start a robbery. Now you want to take my Fusang tree. You are bullying me too much!"

He came towards him with a sword, and Wu Qi saw him and immediately flew to meet him. The two exchanged three or four moves, and Qin Xianjun killed him with a sword. Then, with a palm thunder, he blew Wu Qi's body into pieces, and sneered, "You dare to show off with such an incomplete immortal skill!" After that, he put away his sword angrily.

Two fairies also entered Yuzhen Palace.

Taoist Liu was stunned.

Chen Shi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Master Liu, let's go back."

Taoist Liu was feeling uneasy, but he saw that Chen Shi looked happy.

The two returned to Houde Palace, and Chen Shi left in a hurry. Taoist Liu was puzzled but did not dare to ask.

Chen Shi returned to the Imperial City and came to the Imperial Garden, where he saw another Wu Qi standing under the Purple Sky Vine, with his hands behind his back, looking up at another self on the vine. ——This Purple Sky Vine produced another Wu Qi, who was hanging on the vine. He saw Chen Shi from afar and said excitedly, "Grandpa!"

Chen Shi walked up to him and said with a smile, "Brother Wuqi, are you awake?"
