On the Avenue.

Chapter 632 Tai Sui God Yin Jiao

In the ancient star field, within the palace of Jupiter, came the sound of recitation. A burly deity held a book and read aloud: "The black bird descends carrying a jade tablet, the Peach Blossom Spring is locked in the cloud-shrouded abode. The celestial river falls to dust, the plow and hoe shatter the jade in the void. Well said, well said! How hateful that this scholar dares to write a poem to curse me, he should be executed!"

He had three heads and six arms, an eye between his eyebrows, and a fierce look on his face. He said in a low voice, "It's a pity it's not my turn to be on duty, otherwise I would definitely teach this book-writing scholar a lesson."

Just then, a boy's voice came from outside: "Master, guests from Peach Blossom Spring have come to see you."

The deity's heart stirred slightly, and he said, "Please come in."

An immortal walked in from outside, bowed upon meeting, and said, "Disciple Guo Dongchen of Peach Blossom Grotto greets Lord Yin Sui! Disciple has come to deliver a letter on orders."

Yin Suijun took the letter, unfolded it and read it. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "I understand. Go back and tell my master that Yin Jiao will definitely go to the Heavenly Court."

The immortal bid farewell and departed.

Yin Suijun immediately ordered his men to pack up the carriage and leave the Suixing Palace.

The South Gate of Heaven is guarded by numerous heavenly soldiers and generals, as this is the gateway to Heaven, and all the immortals and gods who come and go from Heaven use this gate.

On this day, the heavenly soldiers and generals saw a menacing aura approaching from afar, escorting a precious carriage. They quickly braced themselves. When the carriage came close, it was revealed to be the Grand Duke of the year, named Yin Jiao.

"Your Highness is not on duty for the year?" asked the Heavenly King Duowen, who guards the South Heavenly Gate.

Yin Suijun laughed and said, "A cycle of sixty years is a Jiazi, and I only serve one year. I just finished my shift, so I can take a long vacation from now on."

The Heavenly King of Duowen was filled with envy and asked, "What official business does Your Highness have in coming to the Heavenly Court this time?"

Yin Suijun shook his head and said, "It's not official business, but my master sent me here to complain about something."

The Heavenly King of Vaisravana asked in confusion, "What complaint do you have? What is it about? Why would Your Highness need to be troubled like this?"

Yin Suijun sighed, “My master did send others, but they were of low status and their words carried little weight. They were beaten up and thrown into the Heavenly Prison. My master has always been a free spirit, powerless and helpless in the Heavenly Court. Knowing that I held a position in the Heavenly Court, he ordered one of my junior brothers to find me and ask me to go to the Heavenly Court to file a complaint.”

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly King of Vaishravana immediately understood his purpose and smiled, saying, "You've had a long journey." He then allowed him to pass.

Yin Suijun drove all the way to the Pilgrimage Tower, parked the car in front of it, got out, and went straight to the Heavenly Drum to beat it and appeal for justice. As soon as the drum sounded, several golden-armored generals rushed out, captured him, bound him tightly, and escorted him to the Lingxiao Palace.

Inside the Lingxiao Palace, more than a dozen deities had already knelt down. They were all surprised to see Yin Suijun being brought here bound hand and foot.

Among them was the Five Grains God, Yin Hong, the second younger brother of Yin Sui Jun. Upon seeing this, he exclaimed in surprise, "Why has my elder brother come as well?"

Yin Suijun laughed and said, "My master sent someone to invite me here to file a complaint."

Yin Xingjun asked, "Is it also about the top spot on the Immortal Execution Ranking?"

Yin Suijun nodded, then asked in confusion, "Could it be that you are also like this?"

Everyone nodded in unison and said, "We are also here on the orders of our sect to file a complaint with the Emperor. We cannot let the madman on the Execution List get away with this."

Yin Xingjun said, "The madman on the Execution List has committed heinous crimes. Relying on his connections in the Heavenly Court, he has committed all sorts of evil deeds. He even beat up a disciple of my Cloud Soaring Cave and threw him into the Heavenly Prison. My master could not tolerate it any longer, so he sent me here to file a complaint with the Emperor."

Yang Suijun, the God of Jiazi Tai Sui, said, "I am the same. The Lord himself is not in a position to come forward, so he asked me to file a complaint, saying that evildoers should not be allowed to go unpunished."

Those bound hand and foot in the Lingxiao Palace were all deities; not a single immortal was among them.

At this moment, Venus, the God of Venus, rushed over. The old God of Venus was dressed in all white, with white eyebrows, white hair, and a white beard. He chuckled and went to help the people up, saying, "You are in charge of divine duties, not doing your jobs. Why have you come to the Heavenly Court to file a complaint? Get up, get up quickly! Someone, untie these fellow Daoists!"

The golden-armored general stepped forward and untied them.

Taibai Jinxing kicked the divine general and shouted, "We're all family! Who gave you permission to tie them up? And make them kneel! Hurry up!"

Yin Suijun, having escaped his predicament, said, "Old Star Lord, we have been wronged! We beg the Great Heavenly Venerable to redress our grievances!"

Taibai Xingjun laughed and said, "The Great Celestial Venerable already knows your purpose. Rest assured, the Great Celestial Venerable has already sent people to investigate and will not show favoritism to anyone. If the culprit in the Immortal Execution List case is indeed a member of the Heavenly Army Camp, the Great Celestial Venerable will surely punish him severely!"

He chuckled and said, “Everyone, you are all gods, why bother with the affairs of the immortals? The immortals are not under the jurisdiction of our Heavenly Court. They are making a fuss about establishing their own Heavenly Court and living separately from us.”

His tone was resentful, and it was impossible to tell whether he meant it sincerely or not.

Yin Suijun said, "I have been entrusted by my master and have no choice but to do it."

"A sect? That was over 300,000 years ago. How much has happened in those 300,000 years?"

Taibai Xingjun smiled and said, "You have come and done your part, now go back. The Great Heavenly Venerable will give you an explanation for this matter."

Everyone withdrew.

Taibai Xingjun bid them farewell and ran straight to the Eastern Heavenly Palace.

The Eastern Heavenly Palace was the residence of the Eastern King Duke. When Venus knocked on the door, the young Taoist priest Jing Shu opened it and, seeing him, hurriedly asked, "Star Lord, what brings you here this time?"

Taibai Xingjun laughed and said, "It's nothing important, it's just that the Great Heavenly Venerable wants to see the Eastern King Duke."

The young Taoist priest, Jing Shu, hurriedly went to invite the Eastern King Duke. The Eastern King Duke arrived and asked, "Fellow Taoist, what brings the Great Heavenly Venerable to see me?"

Taibai Xingjun said, "Isn't this all about the Execution List? They've invited the gods of Heaven to come and talk to us, and it's already gotten to the Lingxiao Palace. The Great Heavenly Venerable is avoiding us, saying he'll give them an explanation. Now the Great Heavenly Venerable has sent me to invite the Prince over to discuss how to give an explanation."

Dongwanggong's heart skipped a beat. He followed him and paid his respects to the Great Heavenly Venerable. The two then discussed the matter at length.

When the Eastern King returned, he said to the young Taoist priest Jingshu, "Go and invite Chen Shi here."

Jing Shu Dao Tong hurriedly went to invite Chen Shi. Dong Wang Gong rubbed his temples. In the past, although he had a headache over Chen Shi's affairs, he could still find a way to resolve them. Now, however, he had a real headache.

After a long while, the young Taoist priest Jing Shu returned and said, "Chen Shi is not in the Heavenly Soldier Camp. He said he went out with a Heavenly Soldier named Jiang Guo."

"Not in the Heavenly Army Camp."

Dongwanggong's heart sank. "Oh no! Their purpose in coming here was to force him to leave the Heavenly Court, but now they've run away on their own!"

The young Taoist priest asked, "Did you and the Great Celestial Venerable reach any agreement during your discussion?"

The Eastern King Duke said irritably, "What consultation? It's just that the Great Heavenly Venerable is bullying me by abusing his power and wants me to find a solution. He can't do it himself, so he sent me. I thought I'd take Chen Shi as my disciple, which might help Chen Shi escape this calamity. But damn it, how could Chen Shi have caused such a mess?"

He was so angry he wanted to grind his teeth.

The fact that the Eastern King Duke valued Chen Shi was actually at the behest of the Great Celestial Venerable. The Heavenly Secret Strategy was imprinted in Chen Shi's mind. The Great Celestial Venerable wanted to protect Chen Shi but couldn't do it himself, so he had him step forward.

He originally thought it would be a simple matter, but he did not expect that Chen Shi was actually the second-ranked Madman on the Zhuxian List, colluding with the first-ranked Black Pot.

By the time he realized this, the entire Heavenly Court knew that he was Chen Shi's backer. Originally, as long as Chen Shi had stayed obediently in the Heavenly Court, there would have been no major problems. However, Chen Shi deliberately went out and killed so many immortals in the Xuanhuang Sea, including nearly half of the victims, rising from second place on the Execution List to first place.

These victims may not be particularly capable, but they often have powerful backgrounds, coming from prestigious families within the immortal realm, with deeply entrenched and complex forces behind them, including both Buddhist and Taoist figures.

Even though the Eastern King Duke is the number one immortal, he doesn't want to provoke them.

Even the Great Celestial Venerable must show them some respect.

This time, the fact that they were able to get the celestial deities to file a complaint with the emperor was a testament to their power.

Only if he, the head of the male immortals, takes Chen Shi as his disciple can this calamity be averted. At that time, Chen Shi's seniority was extremely high, and he was learning skills from the Eastern King Duke. Anyone who wanted to harm Chen Shi would have to think twice.

I never expected that Chen Shi would run away again!

"If he runs out now, won't he be doomed?"

The Eastern King asked, "What is the origin of this heavenly soldier named Jiang Guo?"

The young Taoist priest shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Dongwanggong waved his hand and said, "Go and have the Tianji Xiushi of the Tianji Camp investigate."

The young Taoist priest, Jing Shu, accepted the order and went to the Heavenly Secrets Palace. After a long while, the young Taoist priest returned and said, "Jiang Guo is a disciple of Jin'ao Island. He came out to gain experience. Last time, in the Mud Bodhisattva case, Jiang Guo was taken to the Heavenly Army Camp by Chen Shi."

Dong Wanggong's body trembled slightly: "A disciple of Jin'ao Island? How did he get involved with Jin'ao Island?"

Even the young Taoist priest, who was respecting the books, did not know the reason behind it.

The Eastern King exhaled a breath of stale air and muttered to himself, "His journey to Jin'ao Island is indeed a way out. However, Jin'ao Island has a bad reputation, and it has grudges against those forces..."

He looked troubled.

As the head of all male immortals, Dongwanggong, who ruled over all male immortals in the world, was well aware of the infamous reputation of Jin'ao Island.

During the war to destroy the Shang dynasty, both sides were bloodthirsty and wanted to eradicate the other's roots.

After the defeat at Jin'ao Island, the disciples suffered heavy casualties, and the lineage was almost completely lost. This is why Tongtian Daoren later transformed into Master to spread the Daoist teachings, thereby disrupting the lineage of the Daoist sect and seizing the ancestral court's fortune.

From then on, Confucianism flourished in the ancestral temple, overshadowing Taoism and seizing the foundation of the Three Pure Ones. Later, it was rumored that the Three Pure Ones opened up the Earthly Immortal Realm for this reason, moved the Heavenly Court to the Earthly Immortal Realm, abandoned the ancestral temple, and opened up a larger territory.

"Getting involved with Jin'ao Island will likely bring trouble."

Dongwanggong worriedly thought, "They probably don't know that they've been targeted, and it's hard to say whether they can return to Jin'ao Island."

Chen Shi and Jiang Guo sat on the Star Raft, with the Xuan Tian Aurora whistling past on both sides of the raft.

Black Pot lay on the ship's side, its dog head sticking out to meet the Xuan Tian Aurora. It had cultivated the Great Wilderness Dao Collection and the Undying Immortal Technique, practicing both immortality and demonic arts. Its physical body was growing stronger and stronger, far surpassing Chen Shi's. The Xuan Tian Aurora struck its head, shimmering with iridescent light, yet it remained unharmed.

The black pot became even more excited, sticking out half of its body and sticking out a long tongue, using the Xuan Tian Aurora to temper its body.

"That guy Black Pot, his physical body is too strong." Chen Shi said with envy.

While both Chen Shi and Hei Guo cultivated the Immortal Art, Chen Shi's progress was far slower than Hei Guo's. This was because Hei Guo's physical body was naturally stronger, allowing him to progress faster. However, when it came to techniques like the Primordial Sword Scripture or the Primordial Yin-Yang Dao Scripture, Hei Guo was far inferior to him.

Jiang Guo continued to collect the Xuan Tian Aurora, unwilling to give up this opportunity to hone his sword energy.

He collected a considerable amount of Xuan Tian Aurora last time and refined it into his sword energy, greatly increasing its power.

This time, he has cultivated to the True Immortal Realm, entering the first level of the True Immortal Realm Dao Realm, the Supreme Emperor Huang Zengtian. His cultivation has greatly increased, and he can collect more and faster Xuan Tian Aurora than before.

Chen Shi looked at his senior brother from Jin'ao Island and saw that Jiang Guo was still wearing the same clothes as before, which had been washed until they were faded. He was still wearing straw sandals and a willow hairpin on his head.

He didn't even have a single decorative jade pendant on him, and his clothes were made of cloth without any embroidery.

Despite serving as a celestial soldier in Heaven and receiving a substantial salary, he remained indifferent to his clothing and attire, just as before.

He was a pure person, with a pure mind, and unattached to anything.

Chen Shi's admiration for Jiang Guo grew even stronger. He had previously promised Jiang Guo that he would go to Jin'ao Island with him once Jiang Guo became a true immortal. Now that his grandfather had gone to the Celestial Court and Jiang Guo had become a true immortal, Chen Shi was fulfilling his promise.

Jiang Guo collected enough Xuan Tian Aurora and returned to Chen Shi's side, saying, "Junior Brother, your mastery of the Hunyuan Sword Scripture and Hunyuan Dao Scripture is still lacking. Although it is enough to become a disciple of Jin'ao Island, it may be difficult for you to obtain a higher level of inheritance."

Chen Shi said, "I can only unleash sixty-four sword energies at present. It will be very difficult to advance further. Is there anything you can teach me, Senior Brother?"

Jiang Guodao said, "The main issue lies in the Hunyuan Dao Scripture. Your sword scripture mastery is already sufficient to support the Dao Scripture, so theoretically, the Dao Scripture should also benefit greatly. However, your mind is impure, and you are cultivating other techniques at the same time, causing your Dao Scripture mastery to stagnate. If you can abandon other techniques, you will definitely make rapid progress in the Dao Scripture. The Dao Scripture will enhance the power of your sword scripture, allowing you to advance further."

Chen Shi suddenly realized that he had indeed been too distracted these days.

He simultaneously cultivated the Hunyuan Yin Yang Dao Jing, the Dahuang Mingdao Ji, and the Xuan Yin Jiu Tian Jue.

He was cultivating three different techniques simultaneously, which limited the energy he could devote to the Hunyuan Dao Scripture. Moreover, during this time he was also studying the Xuanhuang Dao Patterns, so most of his energy was focused on that, leaving even less energy for the Hunyuan Dao Scripture.

He was able to control sixty-four sword energies simultaneously, but this was mainly due to the Heavenly Secret Strategy and the spiritual pills of Fuluo Village; he didn't utilize much of his own talent.

“If you don’t make a major breakthrough on your way to Jin’ao Island, I’m afraid it will be difficult for you to obtain a profound inheritance,” Jiang Guo said.

Chen Shi frowned slightly. He had always been proud to be a descendant of Confucius, and naturally could not tolerate not receiving a profound inheritance. However, the test on Jin'ao Island was the Hunyuan Dao Scripture and the Hunyuan Sword Scripture, and it was difficult to greatly improve this set of techniques in a short period of time.

"Even if I wanted to cultivate into a true immortal, it's too late. Unless..."

His eyes suddenly lit up, and he thought to himself, "Unless I can master the ninth form of the Sword Manual!"

The Ninth Form of the Primordial Sword Scripture: The Primordial Chaos Splits Apart, the Mysterious and the Yellow Separated!
Previously, Chen Shi was completely clueless about this move. Even with the Heavenly Secret Strategy and the elixir of Fuluo Village, he couldn't comprehend it in the slightest.

However, after his journey to the Xuanhuang Sea, he received the Xuanhuang Dao Patterns taught by the goddess, and his understanding of this move was no longer completely in the dark.

The separation of the primordial chaos in the Sword Scripture does not transcend the mysteries contained within the primordial chaos Dao patterns of the Earth Goddess Houtu. The only difficulty lies in the division of the primordial chaos!
"If I could comprehend this sword technique, I wonder if I could establish myself on Jin'ao Island?"

He was engrossed in comprehending the ninth form when suddenly the star path trembled violently. The star raft emitted a creaking, ear-piercing sound, wobbling as if it had been struck. The Xuan Tian Aurora abruptly stopped, and the star raft gradually slowed down.

Chen Shi was also startled awake. He and the other passengers on the starship looked ahead and were dumbfounded.

Amidst the enormous stars, a majestic deity rose slowly, wielding his sword to sever the star path and block their path.

The deity had three heads and six arms, with a vertical eye emerging from its brow. Its hair billowed upwards like a red waterfall. Boundless starlight surged forth, converging upon it, making its body even more dazzling than the sun!
