On the Avenue.

Chapter 537: Mysterious Bird Emperor Mark
The small temple is located on the Liangtian Cliff, and the purple vine is swaying in front of the temple. Shiji Niangniang and others flew over here several times and did not find anything unusual.

They searched for several weeks but still couldn't find the person who almost took away Qianyang Mountain, so they had to give up.

When they dispersed, a scream came from the purple vines: "You pressed my hair!"

The magic medicine dolls looked in the direction of the sound, and saw only the vine leaves moving, but no one.

After a long time, Chen Shi and Little Linden Fairy held their clothes and looked out furtively.

Above them, many spiritual medicine dolls were also looking at them curiously, with excitement and curiosity on their faces.

"Look again and I will shave your foreheads flat." The voice of King Chen Zhen came from below.

The elixir dolls quickly retracted their heads. They were elixir, and with their heads flattened, they would be harvested along the ground and would have difficulty surviving.

The vines rolled up and wrapped up Chen Shi and Xiao Linden. When the vines opened up, the two were already dressed in neat clothes.

Chen Shi said: "They are no longer watching, they can come out now."

Xiao Linden followed behind him, and the two of them floated up into the air.

The two looked normal, just like before, but their eyes were full of affection, unable to conceal their lustful look.

Chen Shi said, "Don't rush back. My godmother said that the purple air on the purple vine is called Taiqing purple air, which is extraordinary. I didn't refine the Taiqing purple air before because I wanted to leave three purple air for Taoist Liu. Now that I have the fourth purple air, it's just right for you and me to practice together."

Xiao Linden said yes.

The two of them came under a wisp of Taiqing purple air and sat on the vine leaves. Little Linden Fairy looked up and saw the purple air descending from the sky, which brought people a sense of tranquility and peace, and made people calm down. They felt that things that were difficult to understand in normal days suddenly became clear at this moment, and the principles that they could not understand suddenly became integrated.

She has not yet refined the Taiqing Purple Qi, but just watching has brought her great benefits!

"My godmother said that Taiqing Purple Qi is very rare. It is the innate spiritual energy named after the Saint Taiqing."

Chen Shi also looked up at the Taiqing Purple Qi and said, "But I don't know what its specific effect is. But I have seen a Golden Immortal refining the Taiqing Purple Qi, and he was extremely cautious."

When he entered Zitian to steal treasures, he found that Zitian Immortal collected Taiqing Purple Qi by orbiting a large sun around Zitian vine, absorbing strands of purple Qi into the large sun and slowly refining it. The reason why Zitian Immortal was so cautious was that, first, he planted Zitian vine in his own small world, and the amount of spiritual energy that Zitian vine could absorb was limited. Second, refining Taiqing Purple Qi might be a bit dangerous or difficult.

Chen Shi repeated the steps of how Zi Tian Xian Jun refined the Tai Qing Purple Qi. Fairy Xiao Linden raised her hand and carefully drew a wisp of Tai Qing Purple Qi. Chen Shi said nervously: "It's still too much. The other party is a top-level golden immortal in the earthly immortal world, and his realm is much higher than ours!"

Fairy Xiao Linden divided the wisp of Taiqing purple air into two halves. Chen Shi shook his head and said, "It's still too much!"

Xiao Linden divided the Taiqing Purple Qi again and again, and finally only a tiny wisp was left. Chen Shi hesitated for a moment, then offered up the Yin-Yang Qi Bottle and said, "You refine it with the Pure Yang Sun. If anything goes wrong, I will suppress it with this treasure and protect you."

Fairy Xiao Linden's mind moved slightly, and a sun flew out. She absorbed the ray of Taiqing purple air into the sun and tried to refine it.

Her realm is far above Chen Shi's, and she has already become an immortal who has achieved the state of harmony with the Tao. However, the place where she has achieved the state of harmony with the Tao is Chen Shi's small temple, and the space inside the temple is not large, so her achievements are limited.

But her void realm is not small, and the sun has already refined pure yang.

If one cultivates to this level, one will become a celestial being. However, because the place where she achieves harmony with the Dao is not the real heaven and earth, she can only be called a pseudo-immortal.

Even so, this level of cultivation is still rare in the world.

However, just as she absorbed this ray of Taiqing purple energy into the sun, she saw this round of pure yang sun suddenly expand and become bigger and bigger, and the color of the sun also changed from pure yang gold to purple!

Fairy Xiao Linden mobilized all her skills and tried her best to suppress the sun, but the sun continued to expand.

Chen Shi was about to activate the Yin-Yang Qi Bottle to help her suppress the sun, but Fairy Xiao Linden shook her head and said, "No need!"

She gave a clear shout, and the clear and passionate cry of a phoenix was heard from behind her. Countless black bird Taoist patterns formed a black bird filled with dark fire, which flapped its wings and rose up. Its fire was more intense than that of the pure yang sun.

The black bird flapped its wings and flew around the sun. As it flapped its wings, blazing energy flew into the purple sun. Gradually, the purple sun stabilized.

Chen Shi couldn't help but be moved.

The Xuanniao Dao Pattern displayed by the Little Linden Fairy is also a type of witch-sacrifice Dao Pattern, but it is the most powerful type of witch-sacrifice Dao Pattern, also called the Emperor Pattern.

The Shang kings of all dynasties relied on this kind of Dao pattern to become the most powerful beings in the world and rule the world. Even the Shang king was the emperor of mankind!

Although after being exiled, the royal family of the Shang Dynasty turned to practicing immortal arts and embarked on the path of cultivating immortals, it was difficult for them to bring the emperor pattern to its full potential, but it was still extraordinary.

Fairy Xiao Linden combined the Emperor Mark with the immortal technique, but could only unleash less than 10% of the Emperor Mark's power at most, but it was enough to refine the Taiqing Purple Qi.

“If she could comprehend all the mysteries of the Mysterious Bird Emperor Mark and transform it into immortal techniques, her achievements would be beyond the reach of even the Heavenly Venerable.”

Chen Shi thought to himself, "The Shamanic Dao Patterns of the Great Shang Dynasty are truly a great treasure trove. No wonder they are the source of immortal techniques."

After the Little Linden Fairy's aura continued to rise for a long time, she finally refined this wisp of Taiqing purple energy.

She opened her eyes, revealing a hint of surprise. In such a short period of time, her cultivation had actually improved a lot!
"Husband, I feel that the threat posed to me by the evil energy between heaven and earth has been greatly reduced!" She was surprised and happy.

In the past, in order to avoid being transformed by evil, she had to merge with the Dao in Chen Shi's small temple, which limited her cultivation and made her cultivation stagnant for a long time. But now she felt that if she refined a few more strands of Taiqing Purple Qi, she would not be assimilated by the evil spirit even if she merged with the Dao of heaven and earth!

Chen Shi was very surprised: "Is the Taiqing Purple Qi so strong? It can even eliminate evil spirits?"

Fairy Little Linden nodded repeatedly, wanting to immediately free her void realm from Chen Shi’s small temple and reunite with heaven and earth.

But she still held back. She had just refined a wisp of Taiqing purple energy. If she rashly merged the heaven and earth, she was afraid that she would still be unable to fight against the evil energy floating between heaven and earth.

She calmed her mind and continued to refine the Taiqing purple energy.

Seeing this, Chen Shi immediately drew in a wisp of Taiqing purple energy and tried to refine it.

His cultivation was not as good as Fairy Xiao Linden's, and he did not have the Mysterious Bird Dao Pattern, but his Yin-Yang technique was extremely advanced, and he also had the Yin-Yang Qi Bottle to suppress it, which greatly reduced the danger. But he found that he still underestimated the Taiqing Purple Qi.

In his vast realm of emptiness, the sun and the moon rotate, the heaven and earth change, and the sea undergoes vicissitudes. After several attempts at cultivation, he still cannot remove the power of this tiny wisp of Taiqing purple energy.

Chen Shi felt that he might be blown up by the power of the Taiqing Purple Qi in the next moment, so he immediately activated the Yin-Yang Qi Bottle, and pressed down with the power of the Tao that overturned the world, and finally suppressed the power of the Taiqing Purple Qi. He calmed down, but he was still frightened.

If he didn't have the magic weapon like the Yin-Yang Qi Bottle, I'm afraid he would never have the chance to refine the Taiqing Purple Qi!

"Fortunately, I have completed the missing Three Births and Ten Thousand Things in the Yin-Yang Two-Energy Bottle. Otherwise, even if I had the Yin-Yang Two-Energy Bottle, I would not be able to refine the Taiqing Purple Qi."

Chen Shi slowly activated the Yin Yang Qi Bottle, mobilized the Yin and Yang Taoist power, and transformed the power of the Taiqing Purple Qi into all things such as the heaven, earth, mountains, rivers, sun, moon, etc., and then transformed all things into Yin and Yang Qi. His cultivation level suddenly advanced by leaps and bounds!
With the Yin-Yang Qi Bottle, he was able to refine the Taiqing Purple Qi even faster than Fairy Xiao Linden. However, when Fairy Xiao Linden was refining the Taiqing Purple Qi, perhaps because of the enlightenment of the Purple Qi, her understanding of the Mysterious Bird Emperor Mark became deeper and deeper, and her refining speed was gradually increasing.

The two of them practiced on the vines. After an unknown amount of time, Chen Shi woke up and said to Fairy Xiao Linden: "I haven't attended court for a long time. I must go, otherwise I will be a tyrant."

The little linden fairy stood up and said, "I'll go with you."

The two were about to leave the Purple Sky Vine, but then they thought of the beauty on the vine leaves, and their hearts became hot.

Chen Shi looked up at the sky and said, "There is no one in the court at this time. We should not rush to go. It is better to do something else first."

The little linden fairy was holding his hand, feeling a little shy and nodded slightly.

The spiritual grass dolls on the Purple Sky Vine were awakened by their noise and poked their heads out to look. They saw the Purple Sky Vine swaying back and forth as if it was about to turn into a goblin, which frightened the spiritual herbs and made them unable to sleep.

When it was daybreak, Chen Shi and Xiao Linyin went to attend the morning court.

It was a rare opportunity for Hu Feifei to catch them, so after the court session was adjourned, she immediately dragged Chen Shi to Wenyuan Pavilion to review memorials.

"Your Majesty, please stop being stupid!"

The fox spirit saw the clues and warned Chen Shi, "Your Majesty should stay away from women, get close to wise ministers, and do not do evil for the sake of small gains, and do not refrain from doing good for the sake of small gains."

Chen Shi finally extricated himself from the numerous affairs, and immediately fled the imperial capital with Little Linden Fairy and returned to Liangtian Cliff.

"My dear, you have been tired these days. Don't rush into cultivation. Do something else instead." Chen Shi suggested.

The little lime fairy nodded shyly, and the two of them rolled up a vine leaf to hide their bodies.

"Your Majesty, these vine leaves are quite cool and it is quite comfortable to lie on them." Xiao Linden rolled on the vine leaves and said with a smile.

Chen Shi thought the vine leaves were very nice. They set off the fairy with a look of thin crimson gauze and icy skin that was truly snowy, smooth and fragrant.

The Purple Sky Vine was shaking again. The spirit grass dolls peeked down and chattered among themselves, discussing whether there was a goblin on the vine, otherwise why was it shaking for no reason?

Chen Shi had long forgotten Hu Feifei's warning and had an affair with Xiao Linyi.

The two were satisfied and came to practice under the purple air.

After not seeing it for a few days, not only did the purple air not decrease, but there was actually one more.

The two of them practiced under the purple qi. Chen Shi only felt that his cultivation was getting stronger and stronger, and the void realm was getting more and more vast, but his physical body was the fastest improving.

The improvement of the physical body by the Taiqing Purple Qi is unparalleled, Chen Shi discovered, especially after he activated Wu Qi's immortal magic, the improvement was even more amazing, the physical body was like long-dried land, madly absorbing the power of the Taiqing Purple Qi!

Until this day, after he refined a wisp of purple energy, he suddenly felt that his body seemed to have turned into a bottomless pit, and he involuntarily took the vast realm of the void into his body!
As the void entered his body, the sun and the moon overlapped with his eyes, the starry sky was compatible with his thoughts, the mountains became his bones, the earth became his skin, the rivers became his blood vessels, the sea became his blood, and his hair became the forest. Chen Shi's body became taller and bigger!
In such a short period of time, he actually achieved the integration of the void realm, soul, and body!

This move means that he has officially entered the Mahayana realm!

For the first time, Chen Shi felt that cultivation could be so simple!
In the following days, his cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds. It could be clearly seen that the vast void behind his head was gradually shrinking, from thousands of miles in radius to hundreds of miles, ten miles, dozens of acres, and half an acre in radius!
This speed of improvement in cultivation is truly incredible!
Chen Shi was so absorbed in his spiritual practice that he completely forgot about the morning court session. He only thought about making rapid progress and climbing to higher realms again and again.

That day, Chen Shi woke up and looked up, only to see two more rays of Taiqing purple air.

He stood up quickly, thinking, "I'm afraid this retreat will last more than ten days. I wonder what's going on in the Imperial City."

Fairy Xiao Linden was still cultivating, so Chen Shi did not wake her up. He closed the small temple and went to Houde Palace first to pay respect to the Queen Mother Hou Tu. He said, "Godmother, I am here to send three strands of Taiqing Qi to Taoist Liu."

The Queen Mother Hou Tu called Taoist Liu over and said with a smile, "Little Liu, I didn't lie to you, did I? His Majesty is indeed a trustworthy person."

She personally picked three strands of purple qi and handed them to Taoist Liu, saying, "Although your cultivation is exquisite, you can only refine a little purple qi at a time. Don't be greedy for more."

Taoist Liu tried to refine a wisp of purple qi and couldn't help but be moved. The spiritual power contained in this Taiqing purple qi was so strong that just a wisp of purple qi almost broke through the barrier of his cultivation and almost made him break through the realm!
The Queen Mother Hou Tu said: "These three purple qi can help you to be reborn, greatly improve your talent, and have a promising future. You have used three willow leaves and gained such a great benefit, why don't you thank His Majesty?"

Taoist Liu hurriedly thanked Chen Shi.

Chen Shi helped him up and did not let him bow down. He smiled and said, "It was my godmother's advice that allowed me to obtain this treasure. I still have to thank my godmother for that."

He said goodbye to the Queen Mother Hou Tu and Taoist Liu and returned to the imperial capital. Before he could even catch his breath, Hu Feifei came rushing over: "Your Majesty, Zhong Wuwang is here to visit you and is waiting for you in the Yonghe Palace!"

Chen Shi's heart was moved: "Zhong Wuwang came here at this time, is he ready?"

He hurried to the Yonghe Hall, where Zhong Wuwang and Fang Zhenxiu were waiting. Seeing him coming, Zhong Wuwang waved his hand, signaling Fang Zhenxiu to leave. He looked Chen Shi up and down, and said in surprise, "King Chen Zhen, your cultivation has improved instead of declined. This is puzzling."

Chen Shi laughed and said, "Why do you say that, Erniu?"

Zhong Wuwang said sternly, "The True King has been on the throne for thousands of years, but his cultivation has improved slowly because he has been busy with government affairs and has no time to practice, so it is difficult for him to make progress. If the True King had used his intelligence and talent in cultivation, he might have been able to rival the Heavenly Lord instead of being killed by the Heavenly Lord in one blow. Now that you have become the new True King, you should abandon your cultivation, and your cultivation has not improved but deteriorated."

Chen Shi was stern and laughed, "I am gifted. I can handle government affairs while practicing, and I am making rapid progress."

Zhong Wuwang snorted, "The True King is also a person who has obtained the innate Dao fetus. If he can't do it, you can't do it either. You will definitely neglect the affairs of state! You are a tyrant!"

Chen Shi's face darkened: "Erniu, are you here to tease me?"

Zhong Wuwang said calmly: "I came here to tell you that now you have a chance to enter the Slope of Despair. When do you plan to go?"

Chen Shi was slightly shocked and said, "Let's go immediately! Wait a minute, I need to take a few people with me to the Slope of Despair!"

Zhong Wuwang frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "You can bring people, but the total number cannot exceed eight. Recently, there was a battle between Despair Slope and the Demon King of Demon City, and eight Heavenly Dao Immortals were killed in the battle."
