On the Avenue.

Chapter 577: One Thought to Kill
Zhonglin, the scholar of Tianji, was also in Xitiandang. He suspected that Heiguo was the ascended golden immortal. In the past few days, he had been in the Huozi Camp as a heavenly soldier, monitoring Heiguo's movements. However, Heiguo's behavior was always like that of a normal immortal, so he could not see any flaws.

Hei Guo's diet and daily life were like those of a normal immortal. He went to Xitiandang to practice, and also practiced formations with other heavenly soldiers and interpreted the Hunyuan Dao Sutra together, which was also very normal. His Hunyuan Sword Sutra made rapid progress, and his practice of the Hunyuan Dao Sutra was also quite fast.

Moreover, Hei Guo has a kind face, is willing to help others, and has a good relationship with other heavenly soldiers. Zhong Lin once doubted whether his guess was correct.

He realized that Hei Guo's cultivation was too profound, far surpassing other ascended immortals, but Hei Guo's cultivation was still far from the Golden Immortal, and could only be said to be barely close to the True Immortal.

"My direction may be wrong. Fellow Daoist Hei is not the Golden Immortal! Could that Golden Immortal be Chen Shi who ascended with Fellow Daoist Hei? He disguised himself as an Ascended Realm cultivator in an attempt to deceive the world and hide from the public."

Just as he thought of this, when Chen Shi was reaching the peak of the Heavenly Immortal Realm by attaining the Dao of the West, Zhong Lin, a cultivator of Tianji, felt an extremely strong aura coming at him and his face suddenly changed.

The vast majority of the heavenly soldiers are only in the early stage of the celestial immortal realm. After leaving heaven ten years later, most of them are still in the early stage of the celestial immortal realm. No one can cultivate to the peak of the celestial immortal realm in such a short time!

Among the heavenly soldiers, those who serve as coaches and generals are often true immortals. However, if one wants to be promoted to a true immortal, one needs to practice diligently and endure for thousands or even tens of thousands of years before reaching this level.

Chen Shi went to the West Heaven and achieved the Dao, and pushed his cultivation to the peak of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, which really shocked the scholar Zhong Lin.

"This person is indeed a bit strange, but not that strange. He has been in the Ascension Realm for too long, which has resulted in his cultivation being extremely strong. As long as he can achieve the Dao, he will reach the peak of the Heavenly Immortal Realm. But he should not be that Golden Immortal."

Zhong Lin dispelled his doubts about Chen Shi and thought, "The immortals who ascended this time are indeed full of hidden talents and masters. Fellow Daoist Hei and Chen Shi are both masters. However, although Chen Shi's idea is good, no one in the Heavenly Court can be in harmony with the Tao."

The Heavenly Palace is a place covered by the magical treasures of the Heavenly Dao. To be in harmony with the Dao is equivalent to being in harmony with the magical treasures of the Heavenly Dao. How could the Heavenly Palace allow this?
Even if the Heavenly Court allows it, the Heavenly Dao magic weapon will not allow it.

The way of heaven is unpredictable. It does not exist for the sake of Yao, nor does it die for the sake of Jie.

Therefore, heaven is definitely not a place that conforms to the Tao.

Ever since the establishment of the Haotian Heavenly Palace and the creation of the Heavenly Dao magic weapon, no one has been able to achieve harmony with the Heavenly Dao in the Heavenly Palace.

It’s not that it’s not allowed, but that it can’t be done.

"This Chen Shi suppressed his own strength, used words to control the general Yin Fenglou, and tried to seize power. He is not a good person. It's just that his wishful thinking failed. He didn't expect that the Heavenly Court could not be in harmony with the Tao." Zhong Lin thought to himself.

Just as he thought of this, he saw rays of light rising from the West Sky. That was the light emitted by the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and it actually began to merge with Chen Shi.

Zhonglin jumped up and looked at the scene in horror.

Although Xitiandang is the outskirts of the Heavenly Palace, achieving the Tao in Xitiandang is equivalent to achieving the Tao in the Heavenly Palace!
To be in harmony with the Dao in Heaven is equivalent to being in harmony with the magical treasure of Heaven!

To be in harmony with the Heavenly Dao magic weapon is equivalent to being in harmony with the Heavenly Dao!
This is simply impossible!

But it happened right before our eyes!

Why is it that in a place where there is no harmony with the Tao, some people have achieved it?

"This is the Heavenly Palace, how can it be in harmony with the Tao?"

He was both shocked and terrified. As a scholar of divination and a person who could interpret the way of heaven, he knew very well how outrageous the harmony of heaven was. Yet Chen Shi was right in the harmony of heaven, and everything was going smoothly for him.

"It is the Heavenly Dao magic weapon that allows him to merge with the Dao!"

Zhong Lin suddenly realized and thought, "Heavenly Dao Magical Treasure allows him to achieve harmony with the Dao, and only then can he achieve harmony with the Dao! But why does Heavenly Dao Magical Treasure allow him to achieve harmony with the Dao?"

A flash of inspiration came to his mind, and he quickly took out a mirror that was slightly larger than a compass. A bamboo slip appeared in the mirror, with a series of strange words written on it. The structure was extremely complex.

This text is composed of heavenly patterns, explaining the mysteries of heaven.

What Zhong Lin saw in the mirror was the record of the Golden Immortal who ascended this time in the Heavenly Secrets. He carefully observed this record and thought to himself: "When interpreting this Heavenly Dao Pattern, there were two interpretations. One was that this person was a Golden Immortal who hid his cultivation and tried to avoid the detection of the Heavenly Secrets. The other was that this person was part of the Heavenly Dao."

However, the second interpretation was too outrageous. Not only might other scholars not believe it, even Zhong Lin, who made this interpretation, could not believe it. Therefore, the interpretation he reported was the first one.

"But now it seems that this Chen Shi is part of the Heavenly Dao!"

Zhong Lin's eyes flickered, and he hesitated for a moment, but he did not stop Chen Shi from merging with the Dao. He thought, "When he merges with the Dao, he is returning to the Dao of Heaven. As a scholar of Heavenly Secrets, I should just watch it with joy and not interfere."

He showed a look of delight.

The black pot next to him looked at him suspiciously.

The scholar Zhong Lin has been following and observing it these past few days. Hei Guo has also discovered this a long time ago and tried to influence Zhong Lin, but was shocked to find that he could not change any of Zhong Lin's thoughts!

Zhong Lin is a scholar of celestial secrets, someone who can interpret the Way of Heaven. Hei Guo's ability is the method of the devil, which is restrained by the Way of Heaven. As a result, Hei Guo has to disguise himself as a normal dog fairy these days.

Hei Guo was also quietly observing Zhong Lin. In Hei Guo's eyes, Zhong Lin was an unfathomable master. He was worried that he would do something bad to Chen Shi, so he led him to Xitian Dang.

Unexpectedly, Chen Shi also came here, and for some reason he had a conflict with Yin Fenglou, the general of the Huozi Camp.

Hei Guo was worried that Zhong Lin would see something special about Chen Shi, but now it seems that Zhong Lin has figured it out.

"How did he figure it out?" Hei Guo wondered.

In a short period of time, Chen Shi had already achieved the Dao realm of thousands of miles, and his Dao realm covered a corner of Xitiandang.

He had merged with the Dao before, using the True God from outer space as his divine fetus, and merged with the Dao in Xiniu Xinzhou. With that experience, this time's merger with the Dao went exceptionally smoothly.

"My godmother has foreseen everything. She knows that Yin Fenglou is in the Heavenly Palace of the Earthly Immortal Realm, so she put this task last, hoping to use me to get rid of him."

Chen Shi's eyes flashed and fell on Yin Fenglou.

Yin Fenglou had a look of shock on his face. It was obvious that Chen Shi's integration with the Heavenly Court was something he had not expected.

"After I got rid of Yin Fenglou, my godmother knew that I had come to the Heavenly Palace. Everything was arranged by my godmother!"

Chen Shi's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he was about to kill Yin Fenglou with lightning speed, but suddenly his eyes flickered, and his consciousness was moved from Xitiandang to another place by a huge force!
He was shocked, and the moment his consciousness was taken away, he immediately left a thought to protect his body.

In front of him, boundless Dao patterns were turbulent in the dazzling light, interweaving into different textures. The vast world, the sun, the moon, the stars, and all living beings, cause and effect were like chains, reincarnation was like a disc, mountains and rivers were embellishments, rivers and seas were carving knives, wind and clouds were frost, thunder and fire were plowing, life and death, yin and yang, were all in the way of heaven!

Countless magnificent scenes blend together, people’s joys and sorrows, the changes in the world, the vicissitudes of heaven and earth, the alternation of the sun and the moon, the passage of time in the starry sky, form the texture of the way of heaven.

Eventually, these textures intertwined to form vertical lines of text that flowed and changed constantly in front of Chen Shi.

The magic weapon of heaven and the strategy of heaven.

Chen Shi stood in front of this incredible magic weapon with his eyes wide open.

Life is insignificant in the face of the laws of nature, just a drop in the ocean.

A deep sense of shock arose spontaneously.

The Queen Mother Hou Tu once told him that when he ascended to the Earthly Immortal Realm, he could feel the power of the Heavenly Dao Magical Treasure. Now, he finally realized how powerful the Heavenly Dao Magical Treasure was!
The Dao patterns of Tianji Ce were flowing rapidly, and different Dao patterns were imprinted in his pupils.

However, it was Chen Shi's consciousness that was guided here. The Tianji Ce Dao pattern seemed to be imprinted in his pupils, but in fact it was imprinted deep in his consciousness.

Countless complicated and confusing information came into Chen Shi’s mind, which soon exceeded the limit of his thinking, making him dizzy and almost conscious.

But Tianji Ce's Dao patterns were still constantly infusing the Dao patterns of Heaven into the depths of his consciousness.

Chen Shi was unable to move and could only let Tianji Ce imprint the Dao pattern on him. He thought to himself, "What on earth is Tianji Ce doing?" At the same time, in Xitian Dang, Yin Fenglou saw that Chen Shi had not yet fully merged with the Dao, so he immediately took the lead and said in a long voice, "Chen Shi, if you defeat me, this general of the Fire Camp will be yours!"

He took the initiative to speak, and his voice was like rolling thunder, bombarding Chen Shi's mind. If his cultivation was a little weaker, his soul would be shattered and his brain would be shaken into a paste.

A stream of sword energy flew out of his sword case, and he was performing the Hunyuan Sword Sutra.

The Hunyuan Sword Sutra is an immortal technique. Although many immortals can perform the Hunyuan Sword Sutra, there are not many who have immersed themselves in this sword technique for a long time and have achieved any success.

Yin Fenglou has practiced Hunyuan Sword Sutra for thousands of years and has mastered this sword technique thoroughly.

There are a total of 108 sword energies in the sword box that comes with the Hunyuan Sword Sutra. The higher your sword skills, the more sword energy you can use.

The power of the Hunyuan Sword Sutra displayed when a sword energy is used is just an ordinary magic, and the moves are also very exquisite, but it is difficult to distinguish the difference from other sword-like magic.

But when using two sword energies, the level of sophistication is incomparable.

By mobilizing three sword energies, the power of the Hunyuan Sword Sutra has surpassed ordinary magic.

After that, with every additional sword energy, the power and sophistication of the sword scripture would be dramatically enhanced.

Anyone who can control sixty-four sword energies can be said to be a top swordsman in the world of earthly immortals.

If you can control one hundred and eight sword energies at the same time, then in the entire earthly immortal world, there are only a handful of people who can surpass you in the way of the sword.

This is the power of Hunyuan Sword Sutra!

However, the Hunyuan Sword Scripture is widely circulated, and there are many people who can cultivate eight or nine sword energies. However, the higher the level, the harder it is to practice, and one needs to practice the Hunyuan Taoist Scripture at the same time. The higher the level of cultivation of the Hunyuan Taoist Scripture, the more sword energies one can control at the same time.

Therefore, there are not many people who have achieved success in this sword technique. Most people gave up the Hunyuan Sword Sutra early after leaving Heaven and practiced other immortal techniques.

All around Chen Shi, the ground of Xitiandang crackled and shattered, and sword energy mixed with the soil underground, exploded in the air and flew upwards!
This sword is called Earthly Greeting.

The earth is warm and friendly, while the sky is bringing life and death!

Chen Shi turned over and jumped, flying away like a spirit swallow, covering a thousand miles in an instant. Countless streams of earth energy emanated from under his feet, bursting with cold air. The cold air condensed into sword light in the air and shot towards him.

Bai Fangfang was moved when she saw this scene: "The swordsmanship of the Hunyuan Sword Sutra is really far beyond the mortal world! It is much better than the swordsmanship I learned in the mortal world!"

Xiao Dulu was extremely nervous: "Fellow Daoist Chen has just become a heavenly soldier and has not had time to learn this sword technique. I am afraid he will suffer a loss!"

As soon as he said this, Chen Shi suddenly stopped, and a sword energy also flew out from the sword box behind him, performing the same earth-energy greeting.

The swordsmanship of the two men collided with each other, bringing out the fierce feeling of life and death of the earth and the sky to the fullest.

There was only one thought left in Chen Shi's body. Facing such an attack, he would only make the best choice subconsciously. While one of his sword qi was resisting Yin Fenglou's sword qi, he had already controlled the second sword qi to attack Yin Fenglou.

Yin Fenglou's second sword energy also attacked at the same time. The two of them actually used the same move, but it was different.

The sword energy was like a gust of wind blowing across the wilderness, penetrating every hole.

The third sword energy flew out from the sword box behind Chen Shi, dancing around his body to resist the sword energy that penetrated all holes.

Yin Fenglou also summoned the third sword energy at the same time, and the two of them flew while blocking each other's sword moves.

"It is truly extraordinary that you have been able to cultivate the Hunyuan Sword Scripture to the point of controlling three sword energies in such a short time since your ascension. No wonder you are so arrogant and want to seize my power!"

Yin Fenglou's eyes flashed, and there was a whistling sound behind him. Sword Qi flew out one after another, like mercury pouring down on the ground, covering him. In an instant, he used nineteen sword energies. Nineteen sword energies were used to perform the Hunyuan Sword Sutra at the same time. This was his limit!

In the thousands of years since he ascended to heaven, he knew that he had no roots in the earthly world, and even if he left the heaven, he would have no place to stay, so he simply stayed in the heaven, practicing diligently, and finally made some achievements in refining the Hunyuan Dao Sutra, which was almost impossible for anyone to refine. It was not until then that he discovered the secrets of the Hunyuan Dao Sutra and the Sword Sutra. As the Dao Sutra improved, the power of the Sword Sutra also doubled, and he mastered more sword energy!
Since then, he has practiced the Hunyuan Taoist Scripture more diligently, and today, he can control nineteen sword energies at the same time.

These nineteen sword energies are performing sword exercises at the same time, which is truly invincible and can break anything!

At this moment, there was a whistling sound from the sword box behind Chen Shi, and in an instant more than ten sword energies flew out to counter his nineteen sword energies.

The two of them were galloping across the West Heaven, their movements as fast as lightning, covering hundreds of miles in an instant. In a short period of time, they exchanged offense and defense dozens of times, which was a dazzling sight.

Xitiandang is the training ground for various heavenly soldiers. There are not only the heavenly soldiers from the Fire Camp, but also the heavenly soldiers from other guards, offices and camps. There are a large number of them. When the two of them started fighting, many heavenly soldiers were immediately involved.

One of the heavenly soldiers had no time to dodge and saw the sword energy approaching him. He hurriedly raised his sword to block it, but his sword skills were poor and it was broken by the sword energy of the two men. With a few hisses, he was hit by several swords and was nearly killed!

Fortunately, Chen Shi and Yin Fenglou's target was not him, and the colliding sword energy was moved away, so his life was not in danger.

Another person was involved in the battle and hurriedly raised a large bell, which was then pierced and riddled with holes. The man rolled over and over, luckily escaping from the sword's ambush.

In just a few moments, dozens of heavenly soldiers nearly lost their lives.

"During this period of time, he has cultivated the Hunyuan Taoist Scripture to the level of being on par with me?" Yin Fenglou was shocked and angry after fighting for a long time without being defeated.

"call out!"

Another sword energy flew out from behind Chen Shi. Yin Fenglou was shocked. It was the twentieth sword energy!

Chen Shi actually cultivated the twentieth sword energy, which showed that Chen Shi's attainments in Hunyuan Taoist Scripture had far surpassed his!

"Shhhhhh!"

Another stream of sword energy flew out from the sword box behind Chen Shi, a total of thirty-six sword energies. Each sword energy used a move from the Hunyuan Sword Sutra, gathering into a torrent, colliding with Yin Fenglou's nineteen sword energies, crackling and unstoppable, breaking all his sword styles in an instant and coming in front of him!

Even the heavenly soldiers from other camps encountered along the way were severely injured by the sword energy in the blink of an eye, and were nailed to the ground, unable to move!

The overwhelming sword light submerged Yin Fenglou, pierced through his body, pierced through his soul, and pierced the ground behind him, splashing up countless soil.

The Xirang floated in the air, continuously growing and multiplying in the air, and then turned into stars and flew away.

Chen Shi raised his sword and put it away. The huge strange phenomenon in the sky disappeared, and the thirty-six sword energies returned to the sword box.

He took out the account book from his arms and crossed out Yin Fenglou's name.

In the world of earthly immortals, in the boundless Xuanhuang Sea, there is a forest of heavenly palaces. The true body of Hou Tu Huang Di illuminates the three realms. Her countless avatars are in the underworld of different worlds at the same time, sitting in reincarnation and maintaining order in the underworld.

The moment Chen Shi crossed out the name on the account book, the lady opened her eyes and said with a smile: "My son Qilin has reached the Earthly Immortal Realm."

Chen Shi didn't know when his consciousness returned to his body. He was in a daze and didn't know how long it took before he woke up. He found himself in handcuffs and shackles, locked up in a cold prison.

"Where is this place?" he asked in a lost voice.

He only remembered that he left a thought to protect his body, and then his consciousness was swept away by Tianji Ce, and he was instilled with the Heavenly Dao patterns by Tianji Ce for a long time.

"Don't make any noise!"

Angry voices were heard from all around, "This is the Heavenly Prison! This is where the Heavenly Court holds death row prisoners!"

"Little Immortal, you've committed a crime! Wait for your turn on the Immortal Execution Platform!"
