On the Avenue.

Chapter 629 What did the Six Dynasties do? They only became matters of private factionalism.

"What is it that these people seek after a lifetime of cultivation and aspiration for ascension?"

Chen Shi looked at the maids and the corpse of the Azure Qilin, feeling somewhat bewildered.

The maid who died at Xi Muran's hands may have been a high-ranking fairy in the mortal world before her ascension, a genius that her sect was proud of, or a famous figure who was renowned far and wide. But in the eyes of a noble young master like Xi Muran, she was nothing more than a plaything that could be used, or an insect that could be executed.

When things are peaceful, they are Xi Muran's playthings; when trouble arises, they are corpses guarding the secret.

This sense of disparity made Chen Shi very uncomfortable.

"What is the purpose of your arduous cultivation? You are all prodigies!"

Chen Shixin said, "In the Heavenly Court, ascended immortals are nothing more than soldiers who can be wiped out at will in the Heavenly Army. In the Celestial Court, ascended immortals are nothing more than ants that can be killed at will. It's like when I passed the imperial examination and became a scholar. In the eyes of the villagers, I am a scholar. But in Xijing, a scholar is nothing."

For the first time, he felt that the Immortal Realm was so hypocritical and ridiculous.

"The so-called battle between immortals and gods is nothing more than a power game among those in power, and has nothing to do with us lower-level immortals who have gone through countless tribulations to ascend! This is not our battle, and no matter which side wins, the status of us ascendants will not change in any way."

A nameless grief and indignation welled up in his heart. "What has become of the Six Dynasties? They've only ever cared about their own private interests. This has never changed in the Divine Continent, nor in the Western Continent, and it's even more so in the Earthly Immortal Realm! This world!"

A sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart again. He was just a newly ascended immortal, powerless and helpless, and had to live at the mercy of others in the Heavenly Court.

He can't change any of this.

"In the end, my grandfather and I are just talisman masters who deal with evil spirits. This is the Earthly Immortal Realm, where there are no evil spirits. My grandfather and I are not suited for this place, so we should go back as soon as possible."

Xi Muran examined the corpses of the maids and frowned slightly: "One of them is missing. Xiao Hongxiu is not here. This woman is always clever. She probably knew that if I lost, I would harm them, so she left in advance... Junior brother, I still have things to take care of, so I'll take my leave first."

He tossed a token to you, saying, "Since you are a disciple taken in by our master in the mortal realm, you also have a share of this. This token is a symbol of our sect; please keep it for now."

Chen Shi caught the token and looked down. He saw that the token was made of black gold. One side was carved with a strange Dao realm, and in the center was a life banner. The surrounding area should be Dao images, but they were too small to see clearly.

The back has the three characters "Supreme Path".

Chen Shi looked at it over and over again, thinking to himself, "I am now considered a member of the Celestial Court. The Celestial Court is against the Heavenly Court, and I am also a member of the Heavenly Court... Let them be. This time, when we return to the Heavenly Court and find my grandfather and the others, we will go back to Xiniu New Continent. I will honestly be my True King, and my grandfather will be the Supreme Emperor. The two of us will prey on the people of Xiniu New Continent. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

He glanced at the corpses of the maid and the azure qilin, hesitated for a moment, and then decided to bury the maid first.

As for the Azure Kirin, I wonder if it tastes good.

As he was thinking, several black-clad immortals arrived. Seeing the Supreme Dao Token in his hand, they bowed to him in unison: "Young Master! We have been ordered to come and handle the aftermath."

Chen Shi was stunned. These people were dressed in black, wearing black shoes, black belts, and black ribbons, and their faces were also covered by black headscarves. They were the Cleanup Immortals!

Chen Shi had encountered these altruistic immortals in the Demon-Suppressing Well, but he had never seen them again. He never expected to encounter them again in this place.

However, the clothes of the cleanup immortals were all exactly the same, and their faces could not be seen. It was unknown whether they were the same people in the Demon-Suppressing Well.

"You are responsible for cleaning up the mess."

Chen Shi couldn't help but ask again, "Why are you here to clean up the mess? Who notified you?"

Although the few immortals who were handling the aftermath were surprised, the Supreme Dao Token in Chen Shi's hand was genuine, leaving no room for doubt.

One of the cleanup immortals said, "Didn't the young master inform us? There are cleanup immortals in various places. The young master can burn a cleanup talisman, and a cleanup immortal will arrive soon."

Chen Shi asked, "How do we draw the talisman for cleanup?"

The immortals who had been cleaning up the mess were even more surprised. The leader of the immortals said, "Young master, may I take a look at the token?"

Chen Shi handed the Supreme Dao Token to him. The immortal examined it carefully and confirmed that it was indeed the Supreme Dao Token. Then he said, "I have a cleanup talisman here. Young master will understand at a glance."

He took out a cleanup talisman and handed it to Chen Shi.

Chen Shi took the talisman and examined it carefully. He noticed that the talisman's form was different from the traditional talisman script. It was written with Taoist patterns, while the traditional talisman script was based on the form and language of deities.

"The path of immortality is severing ties with the path of gods, fundamentally eradicating the influence of the path of gods on the path of immortality!"

Chen Shi's heart stirred slightly. The reason why the Immortal Path was able to rise to prominence was because it originated from the shamanistic ritual patterns of the Shang Dynasty, and the source of the shamanistic ritual patterns was the Divine Path!
Talismans and incantations are used to describe divine methods, and they are precisely the foundation of spiritual practice!

Now that the path of immortality has developed, if we abandon the path of gods from its foundation, then immortals will no longer need deities.

Then, the gods can be completely eradicated!

“Grandpa was doing this kind of thing. Before he ascended to immortality, he was researching how to reconstruct the path of immortality using talismans and incantations.”

Chen Shi frowned slightly. Chen Yindu's thoughts coincided with those of the Celestial Court's higher-ups!

If the Celestial Court discovers Chen Yindu, they certainly won't let this talent go.

At that point, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave.

"I've made such a big fuss this time, Grandpa should come to Heaven to find me, right? After we reunite with Grandpa, we'll immediately leave the Earthly Immortal Realm and go home to prey on our fellow villagers!"

He put away the cleanup charm and left on his own.

The immortals who were cleaning up the bodies of the maids and the Azure Qilin were removing all traces.

Chen Shi found the nearest celestial river crossing, passed through the star gate, and boarded a star raft to return to the Heavenly Court.

Once the star raft had come to a safe stop, he jumped off. The divine general guarding the star gate saw him and said in a booming voice, "Chen Tianbing, I heard you've been caught. You're the second-ranked bandit on the Immortal Execution List, and you've killed many people in the Xuanhuang Sea. Many immortals have come to the Heavenly Court to complain. You still dare to come back? If you come back today, you'll be on the Execution Platform tomorrow!"

Chen Shi argued, "The bandit ranked second on the Immortal Execution List is not me; he has no face. Fellow Daoist, don't make false accusations."

"Slanderous accusations?"

The divine general sneered, "The aggrieved party has filed a complaint with the Great Celestial Venerable! Moreover, your original portrait on the Execution List has been removed, and a new one has been put in place, exactly the same as yours!"

Chen Shi blushed and said, "Is it impossible for them to look alike? The world is vast and full of all things. Perhaps there are two immortals who look exactly alike."

“You murdered the victim in the Xuanhuang Sea, and it was clearly recorded by someone using a recording mirror.”

Chen Shi then launched into a long, rambling speech, spouting obscure phrases like cause and effect, destiny, and identical flowers.

Before he had even left, another starship arrived, filled with celestial soldiers and generals with mutilated limbs. These immortals were listless and looked like they were on the verge of death.

Many soldiers from the Heavenly Army Camp invited them off the Star Raft and sent them to the Heavenly Dao Residence.

Chen Shi estimated that the dozen or so starships had brought nearly a thousand celestial soldiers and generals. "How come so many people were injured?" he asked the divine general guarding the star gate.

The divine general said, "They are wounded soldiers who returned from the Dark Sea. They followed Li Tianwang on the expedition to the Great World of Nirvana. They were injured and could not be healed at the front line, so they had to be sent back."

Chen Shi looked at these heavenly soldiers and generals. At this moment, several more star rafts sailed in, carrying heavenly soldiers and generals, all of whom were wounded and unable to fight.

"The fighting in Nili Great World is very intense recently, and Li Tianwang is urging reinforcements."

The divine general said, "Later, tens of thousands more heavenly soldiers were added, but it seems that most of them were lost in the Great World of Nirvana, and a small number were sent back with serious injuries."

Chen Shi asked, "What will happen to these wounded soldiers after they are sent back to Heaven?"

"Treat them first, as long as they don't die. Once they're healed, give them some money and elixirs, and they can leave. What else can you do?"

The divine general said, "Chen Tianbing, if you don't escape and return to the Heavenly Soldier Camp, I'm afraid you really will be beheaded!"

Chen Shi thanked him for the reminder and followed the wounded soldiers back to Tiandao Residence. There, he saw that there were many more wounded soldiers, and imperial physicians from the Heavenly Court were busy treating them.

He also saw that the wounded soldiers who had been healed often had deer legs, horse legs, or ape arms, as if someone had used a magical method to attach animal legs, feet, and arms to these wounded soldiers.

They are learning how to adapt to their new bodies, and some can already walk with great agility.

Chen Shi's heart stirred slightly: "Wu Qi's immortal immortal technique might be able to save these people."

The Immortal Immortal Technique was deciphered by the Xinxiang court, from the shamanistic ritual patterns to talismans. After Chen Shi ascended to immortality, he changed this technique back to Dao patterns and integrated it into his own cultivation system.

Although the Immortal Undying Technique cannot compare to techniques like the Great Wilderness Dao Collection, after Chen Shi transformed it into an immortal technique, it is still extraordinary and can completely rival the Golden Immortal level techniques, making it absolutely possible for someone to cultivate into a Golden Immortal.

Chen Shi went to the house next door and found Zhong Lin, saying, "Can you gather all the wounded soldiers together? I want to teach them the Immortal Technique of Immortality. As long as they practice diligently, their limbs can regenerate."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Lin exclaimed in surprise, "This kind of cultivation technique is at least a Golden Immortal technique. It's treasured by immortals, and you're willing to take it out?"

Chen Shi shook his head and said, "It's just a mere martial arts technique, nothing to brag about. Can you gather all the wounded soldiers?"

Zhong Lin said, “What’s so difficult about that? I’ll gather the soldiers of the Fire Battalion and talk to each of the wounded soldiers, explaining the pros and cons. They will come on their own.”

He left excitedly. Chen Shi returned to his Tiandao Residence, took out the black pot, rested for a while, and then wanted to go out to inquire whether Chen Yin had come looking for him. As soon as he went out, he saw Bai Fangfang, Xiao Dulu and others bringing a lot of wounded people to the outside of Tiandao Residence.

Chen Shi looked into the distance and saw more wounded people rushing towards them, their expressions quite agitated.

They gathered in greater and greater numbers, blocking the road completely. Chen Shi retreated to Tiandao Residence and invited them in, but soon the courtyard was crowded with people. Some people only had one leg left, but there was nowhere to sit, so they had to stand with their canes and lean against the pillars.

Others were cut in half at the waist and crawled in, supporting themselves on their hands. But they were too short and could only crane their necks to look around, unable to see Chen Shi, and were filled with anxiety.

There were also many wounded soldiers in the sky. Although they were seriously injured, they dragged their wounded bodies and used their cultivation to float in the air, for fear of missing this opportunity.

There were two to three thousand people inside and outside Tiandao Residence, and wounded soldiers were constantly being brought here from outside.

Looking at the wounded heavenly soldiers and meeting their eager, expectant gazes, Chen Shi was in a daze, and his voice became hoarse for a moment.

Just then, a loud crash was heard. He hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the man with the black pot had stood up and pushed down the wall of Zhong Lin's Heavenly Dao Residence, opening up the two Heavenly Dao Residences so that more people could come in to listen to the lecture.

"Black Immortal, I'm here to help you!"

Bai Fangfang rushed over and, together with Hei Guo, demolished Zhong Lin and the neighboring Tiandao Residence to the ground. Seeing this, Xiao Dulu, Dai Qingxi, and others demolished four or five other Tiandao Residences nearby so that the wounded soldiers could sit down without expending their cultivation.

As the number of wounded soldiers increased, they gradually filled up the Heavenly Dao Residence.

Seeing that the number of people had stopped increasing, Chen Shi coughed, cleared his throat, and said loudly, "Everyone, my technique is called the Immortal Undying Technique. It is the source of the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts and the Undying Golden Body, but it is not as exquisite. Today I will teach it to you all."

A commotion arose among the wounded soldiers; they whispered among themselves and discussed the matter.

Many people have heard of the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts and the Indestructible Golden Body. They are famous for their ability to regenerate severed limbs and heads. There are even rumors that they can regenerate even if only a drop of blood remains, restoring the user to their peak condition!
Such profound skills were at most something that even the heavenly soldiers and generals had only heard of. They had never even seen them, let alone had the right to be killed by them!

The cultivation techniques they practice often come from the lower realms or are comprehended by themselves, which are the techniques of the Celestial Immortal realm. If they want to advance further and become True Immortals, they either need to have exceptionally high talent to comprehend them on their own, or they can only become disciples of other forces and be given important positions.

As for cultivating to become a Golden Immortal, without an extraordinary stroke of luck, it's simply out of the question.

With a slight thought, Chen Shi spread out his Daoist aura, enveloping all the wounded within it, and began to explain the mysteries of the Immortal Art of Immortality.

This technique, deciphered by the Xinxiang court, takes the form of talismans. It is not as difficult to understand as Dao patterns, so even these heavenly soldiers and generals can understand it.

As they sat in Chen Shi's dojo, talismans of the Immortal Immortal Technique automatically appeared before them, revealing the profound mysteries of this technique in a captivating way.

Chen Shi then proceeded from the basics to the more advanced topics, gradually explaining the techniques from talismans to Dao patterns, imparting the higher-level cultivation methods of this art to everyone.

However, even though the Immortal Immortal Technique had become simpler, everyone's comprehension varied, and not everyone could comprehend it. Chen Shi patiently explained it step by step, and before he knew it, he had been sitting there for six or seven days.

Once everyone had a basic understanding of how this immortal technique worked, Chen Shi returned the dojo and smiled, saying, "As long as you all diligently cultivate, it won't be difficult for you to grow limbs in the future. If you cultivate to the point of mastery, even if only a bone remains, you can be reborn."

Many wounded soldiers were moved to tears. One soldier knelt down and choked out, "Brother Dao, you are truly our second parents!"

Everyone bowed to him, and Chen Shi quickly said, "Please rise, gentlemen! Please rise!"

He finally managed to see off the wounded soldiers, only to find that even more heavenly soldiers and generals had arrived outside. Among them were many generals of the heavenly army camp, and even a few commanders and grand commanders of the heavenly army camp. They were a huge crowd, even more than the wounded soldiers!

Chen Shi looked at them, puzzled, and asked, "Gentlemen, what's going on here...?"

The Grand Commander of the Ugly Guard laughed heartily, bowed deeply, and said, "We have heard that you, fellow Daoist, have explained the Immortal Art of Immortality and saved the wounded soldiers from dire straits. Therefore, we have taken the liberty of coming here to seek your guidance."

He straightened up, his voice utterly sincere: "As soldiers of the Heavenly Army, we never know when we will be sent into battle, and injuries are inevitable. We are not injured today, but we may not be in the future. I humbly request that you, fellow Daoist, impart to me your profound skills!"

Outside the gate, thousands of heavenly soldiers and generals bowed down in unison, saying, "We humbly request that you, fellow Daoist, impart your profound skills!"

Chen Shi smiled and said loudly, "I am not stingy with mere immortal techniques. Please rise, everyone."

He sat down again and began to teach these heavenly soldiers and generals the immortal techniques of immortality.

Tiandao was outside, and Wu Guanyun stood respectfully by his side, truthfully telling Young Master Xi Muran about Chen Shi's teaching of the Immortal Technique.

Xi Muran was slightly taken aback, then praised, "My junior brother is truly cunning. With just a Golden Immortal cultivation technique, he has won over the hearts of two hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals. Is he trying to rebel by gathering so many immortals?"

He then changed the subject, saying, "But with his blatant efforts to win people's hearts, can Li Tianwang tolerate him?"
