Chapter 604 Curve to save people
Chen Shi breathed a sigh of relief and looked up, only to see Dong Wanggong examining the geographical map with a calm expression, his mood unmoved, and it was difficult to guess what he was thinking.

"This number one immortal's mind is as deep as the abyss, unfathomable."

He silently said in his heart, "But this unorthodox way can indeed impress him."

A great road that has never been seen before is extremely tempting for immortals who are pursuing the true meaning of the road.

Dong Wanggong looked at it for a while, then returned the geographical map to Chen Shi and said, "Practice the outer method again."

Chen Shi followed his instructions and performed it again. He then repeated Chu Xiangxiu's concept of the technique and said, "This man was raised by the God of Land. No one taught him how to cultivate immortality. He learned the path of cultivation from the God of Land, skipped the golden elixir and Nascent Soul, and directly cultivated the spirit to become an immortal."

"Great talent, great talent. There is still a limit to the talent, great talent is indeed worth saving."

Dong Wanggong pondered for a moment and said, "Your external way is just a facade, but not real. Even if Chu Xiangxiu taught you personally, without the Dark Sea Integration Dao, you can't master this great way. If you want to master this great way, you really need this geographical map. Go to the Dark Sea and integrate the Heaven and Earth Dao to get its true essence."

Chen Shi didn't say anything, but he was happy in his heart.

"So you went to the Heavenly Prison to learn this great way from Chu Xiangxiu, and asked him to draw a geographical map to seduce me."

Dong Wanggong looked at him, his phoenix eyes smiling, "You want to save his life. Chen Shi, do you know why I saved you?"

He had asked this question once before, and this time it was asked again, which made Chen Shi a little confused.

Dong Wanggong raised his hand, pointed at his heart, and said meaningfully: "Because there is also an external way in your body, which aroused my interest."

Chen Shi was shocked.

Chu Xiangxiu also once said that Chen Shi also came from the Dark Sea and had external Taoist practices in his body!
And the words of Dong Wanggong confirm this point!
Could it be that there really is an alien power in his body that he has not even noticed?
Could it be that when he was relying on the True God from outer space to achieve harmony with the Tao, this heterodox path also influenced him and was lurking in his body?
Why did Dong Wanggong become interested in the external Tao in his body?
Dong Wanggong said: "When you were in the Heavenly Army Camp and killed the general, I saw the external Dao in you. That's why I came forward to protect you."

He put his hands behind his back and looked outside the palace with a deep gaze: "Our immortal way is to live forever, but longevity is also a test. Every once in a while there will be a catastrophe, which is called a catastrophe. One period lasts for 1800 years, and each period is a catastrophe. If you survive it, you can live freely for another 1800 years. Twelve periods make up a cycle, and each cycle will be a catastrophe. I don't know how many immortals will die in the cycle catastrophe. Immortals seem to live forever, but how many can survive the cycle catastrophe? The immortal way has been complacent for too long and needs outsiders to adjust it. Who knows, when facing the cycle catastrophe, there is still a glimmer of hope."

Upon hearing this, Chen Shi couldn't help but feel admiration.

He is worthy of being the number one immortal. His broad mind and bearing are far beyond the reach of others.

Dong Wanggong said: "If you don't practice the external way, you may not be able to get through the Yuanhui catastrophe, and how can you overthrow the heaven? Don't you think so, Chen Tianbing?"

Chen Shi didn't dare to say anything. He didn't know which words of Dong Wanggong were true, which were false, and which were clichés.

Dong Wanggong could say the wrong thing, but if he said one wrong thing, he might lose his life.

"In the Dongtian Palace, there are gods everywhere monitoring Dong Wangong, but Dong Wangong is still so unscrupulous. Isn't he afraid of being suspected by the Great Heavenly Venerable and losing his life?" He thought to himself.

Dong Wanggong laughed and said, "You are so boring that you are not brave enough. Take the geographical map and give it to Li Tianwang. There are many people in the heaven who are very interested in the heretics in the dark sea. I think it will not be long before your heavenly army camp can go to the dark sea."

Chen Shi was slightly startled: "King Li sent troops to the Dark Sea?"

Dong Wanggong said leisurely: "The Dark Sea is great. We must send troops to the Dark Sea. For immortals, the Dark Sea is too vast and too dangerous. If you rush in rashly, you may never come back. But the Dark Sea is full of temptations. There are more vast lands, more earth treasures and spiritual roots, and more resources, all of which are ownerless. Every time you discover a world in the Dark Sea, it is an opportunity to gain a great fortune."

He smiled slightly and said, "And the gods in heaven also need to push their incense to further places, so that the new territories of heaven can also have their own believers and enhance their divine power. Therefore, the world in the dark sea is a great temptation for both immortals and gods."

Chen Shi felt a chill in his heart and suddenly thought of Xiniu Xinzhou.

If the Heavenly Court will target Chu Xiangxiu's Hedao land because of this, then will it also target Xiniu Xinzhou because of the external Dao in his body?

What will happen if we target Xiniu Xinzhou?

He felt a little uneasy.

"The Dark Sea is very dangerous. There are so many dangerous places marked on Chu Xiangxiu's geographical map, which shows that it is even more dangerous there."

Dong Wanggong said meaningfully, "If Li Tianwang's attack is blocked and the heavenly soldiers and generals suffer heavy casualties, then what do you think will happen?"

Chen Shi suddenly realized and said, "At that time, the Heavenly Court will need a guide who is familiar with the place, and even need that guide to have a foothold in that dark sea world!"

He bowed to the Lord of the East and said, "Thanks to the Lord of the East's guidance, I can now see the moon!"

Dong Wanggong laughed and said, "What did I do? I didn't do anything for you. If you get into trouble, don't blame me."

Chen Shi thanked him again and again and left Dongtian Palace.

Dong Wanggong watched him leave with a smile on his face: "He is a good person. He will do his best to rescue a criminal whom he only met once. No wonder the Great Lord entrusted the Heavenly Secret Strategy to him." Others thought that Chen Shi's backer was Dong Wanggong, but little did they know that the Great Lord was also Chen Shi's backer!
Others cannot see that the Heavenly Secret Strategy is on Chen Shi, but Dong Wanggong, as an eyewitness to the refining of the Heavenly Dao magic weapon, is very familiar with it. Others cannot detect the Heavenly Dao aura on Chen Shi, but he can clearly sense it.

"It's just that the little traitor doesn't know this yet."

Dong Wanggong showed an expectant look. He really wanted to see how Chen Shi's face would be when he joined the rebels one day and knew that his backer was the Jade Emperor.

Chen Shi brought Chu Xiangxiu's geographical map and came to see Li Tianwang excitedly. He presented the geographical map and said, "Congratulations, Tianwang. Chu Xiangxiu has confessed everything!"

Li Tianwang was stunned, not knowing why he said this, and asked puzzledly: "What did he confess?"

He remembered that he had not instructed Chen Shi to interrogate Chu Xiangxiu. Moreover, the Ministry of Justice had already tried her and sentenced her to death.

"Heavenly King, please look, this is the place where Chu Xiangxiu is in harmony with the Tao!"

Chen Shi spread out the geographical map and said quickly, "This place is called the Nirvana World. In the dark sea, the heterodox sects flourish. The reason why Chu Xiangxiu's strength is so amazing is precisely because of this! Under my coercion and inducement, Chu Xiangxiu drew this map to mark the various dangers of this place!"

When Li Tianwang saw the geographical map, his mind was slightly shocked and he said, "The Nili world where the heterodox sects flourish? This should be a big world!"

His heart beat faster.

The big world is quite rare.

The four continents of the Earthly Immortal Realm are all large worlds that can support many immortals.

The big world in the dark sea is an ownerless land, with many extremely precious spiritual roots, various natural treasures, rare animals and exotic animals!
More importantly, opening up a big world would bring a lot more incense, which would be very tempting to Li Tianwang.

Chen Shi nodded and said, "It is the Nili World."

Li Tianwang suppressed his excitement and carefully examined the geographical map. The map marked the route starting from the Earthly Immortal Realm, passing through the Xuanhuang Sea, entering the Dark Sea, and searching for the Mud Plow World in the sea.

At the same time, various dangerous places are marked in the world of Mud Plow.

Li Tianwang rolled up the geographical map and was about to go out.

Chen Shi hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Chu Xiangxiu will be executed soon!"

Li Tianwang stopped and hesitated for a moment, then said, "We finally chose an auspicious date... Never mind, I will order someone to postpone Chu Xiangxiu's execution date! Fellow Daoist Chen, there is nothing for you to do here, please go back to Tiandao Residence first."

Chen Shi said yes and returned to Tiandao Residence.

Li Tianwang hurried away with the geographical map.

Not long after, Li Tianwang assembled his troops in Xitiandang and brought with him 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, with the order to conquer the Dark Sea. The army set out on the star raft, departed from the ferry star gate, and left the heaven.

——King Li mobilized only the elite troops, but Chen Shi’s Fire Camp was not among them, so he did not go.

"As Dong Wanggong predicted, the Heavenly Court is eager to obtain the Nili World!"

Chen Shi's admiration for Duke Dong increased even more.

The fact that Heaven was able to dispatch troops so quickly this time was probably not just Li Tianwang's idea. I'm afraid other giants in Heaven also contributed to the situation.

"If it is as Dong Wangong guessed, Li Tianwang will suffer a great loss in the Nirvana World, and then he will have to release Chu Xiangxiu and the land of Feng'an County. The lives of their master and disciple will be saved." Chen Shixin said.

Sure enough, two months later, news of Li Tianwang's defeat in the Nili World spread, causing a stir in the court and the country. Not long after, a divine messenger rushed to the Heavenly Prison and ordered the prison guards: "Chu Xiangxiu and Feng'an County's land are not guilty of death. Your Majesty has ordered the Heavenly Prison to release them immediately!"

The prison guards did not dare to delay and released the prisoner quickly.

The moment Chu Xiangxiu and Feng'an Land God walked out of the sky prison, they were still a little dazed and felt like they were dreaming.

Outside the prison, Chen Shi had been waiting for a long time.

Behind him, Hei Guo was holding a jade plate with a pot of wine on it.

Chen Shi looked at Chu Xiangxiu approaching and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Chu, I have fulfilled my mission and finally rescued you and your disciple. Today, I am waiting here to see you off."
