On the Avenue.

Chapter 685 Senior Brother, Junior Brother

Before he finished speaking, the immortals on the ship soared into the sky, chasing after the primordial insects.

The primordial worm recognized Chen Shi; it was terrified of him. Chen Shi used his Daoist practice to dissolve its physical body, refining its evil path into his own Great Dao. To outsiders, Chen Shi seemed to be refining it, but to the primordial worm, Chen Shi was devouring it!

Devour its body!
From that time on, it developed a fear of Chen Shi. Now that it saw Chen Shi appear here, it naturally abandoned the Guiyuan World and fled without thinking.

It fears Chen Shi, but that doesn't mean it fears the immortals from Xiniu New Continent.

Zhong Wuwang, Li Tianqing, Wu Qi, and the others chased after it and were about to catch up when the Yuan Worm's flesh and blood flew up and transformed into thick tentacles, which lashed out at the group.

Its power is too great; it can create dozens of Golden Immortals, even Heavenly Venerables, at any time.

Dealing with immortals like Zhong Wuwang and Li Tianqing would be a piece of cake.

But just as its attack reached the immortals of Xiniu New Continent, their cultivation techniques suddenly transformed into the Great Wilderness Dao Collection, with countless Dao patterns flying out and imprinting themselves on its tentacles, thus summoning it up.

The Great Wilderness Daoist Compendium is practically a must-have in Xiniu New Continent. Since Chen Shi deduced it, he made it public, hoping to find its flaws. However, this cultivation method was created by the Celestial Emperor of the Celestial Court, and even if it had flaws, they were beyond their ability to find them.

No flaw was found, but the Great Wilderness Dao Collection spread far and wide.

Even Wu Qi cultivated the Great Wilderness Enlightenment Collection.

This cultivation technique is profound and unfathomable. It is not only one of the best techniques Chen Shi has encountered, but also one of the best techniques Wu Qi, Zhong Wuwang, and others have encountered. Practicing this technique not only leads to rapid progress in cultivation, but it is also the key to controlling primordial insects.

The Celestial Venerable once relied on the Great Wilderness Dao Collection to summon the Primordial Worm and borrow its power to fight against all the masters in Xiniu New Continent, including the Goddess Houtu.

Although Wu Qi, Zhong Wuwang, and others were still no match for the Heavenly Venerable of that time, they could still activate this power and sacrifice a portion of the flesh and blood of the Primordial Worm.

The tentacles, under their control, did not attack them but instead attacked the primordial insect's main body!

"Puff puff!"

In the sky, the flesh and blood of the Yuanchong exploded, its tentacles piercing bloody holes.

The worm, in pain, immediately severed its wrist, breaking off the limbs controlled by Zhong Wuwang, Li Tianqing, and the others, and fled into space.

Shaoguang was also controlling it, and it severed the large area of ​​flesh and blood that Shaoguang controlled.

It was extremely decisive. After severing this flesh and blood, it immediately extended thick tentacles, reaching into space and plunging into the void, dragging its enormous body up and escaping into the heavens.

In the world of Guiyuan, towering mountains and vast swamps of flesh and blood rose into the air, a scene both spectacular and bizarre.

Shao Guang was originally urging the Yuan Worm to eliminate this last batch of demons, which would allow him to assimilate the Great Dao of the entire Guiyuan World. However, he did not expect this unexpected turn of events.

He was about to activate the Yuan Worm to eliminate the enemy when he saw the techniques and supernatural powers displayed by Li Tianqing and the others, and he was greatly shocked.

"They're all cultivating the Great Wilderness Dao Cultivation Manual! Could it be that our master has taken in so many junior brothers?"

He immediately realized, "It was Senior Brother Li who spread Master's cultivation techniques! How hateful! He betrayed the sect! Senior Brother Li deserves to die!"

His gaze swept over Li Tianqing, Zhong Wuwang, and the others who were chasing the Yuan Worm. These immortals were not very powerful, which reassured him a little: "These people are not powerful enough to be my match. I can kill them easily. The only one I am worried about is Chen Shi, who can refine the Yuan Worm."

Just as he thought of this, a Tai Chi diagram that swept across the entire Guiyuan World suddenly began to spin rapidly, spread out, and cover the entire Guiyuan World. Yin and Yang intertwined, freezing the bodies of those Yuan insects that had escaped to the heavens!
"Taiyi Golden Immortal!"

Shao Guang was startled and dared not make a move against Li Tianqing and the others.

Although he was powerful, he was far from being a match for a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

It was Master Zhang who used the Taiji Daoist Temple to freeze the Yuan Worm's body, circulating Yin and Yang in an attempt to refine it. He had already refined the Yin and Yang Dao into the Taiji Dao, his cultivation was terrifyingly high, and after this breakthrough, becoming a Taiyi Golden Immortal, his cultivation was even more boundless and powerful.

The Emperor of Da Shun invited him to Xiniu New Continent to deal with the Yuan insects because his Taoist magic was unfathomable.

This was Zhang Zhenren's first encounter with the Yuan Worm. Although he managed to trap the Yuan Worm, he encountered setbacks during the refining process. The Yuan Worm was an unorthodox creature, a strange species from the Dark Sea found by the Immortal Emperor. The Taiji Great Dao encompasses everything, but this unorthodox path was not within Yin and Yang, making it difficult for him to refine.

The primordial worm struggled in his dojo, trying to break free from his suppression, which made him quite exhausted. He thought to himself, "Is this the strength of the primordial worm? If the primordial worm in Xiniu New Continent had not been eliminated by Chen Zhenwang back then, I might not have been able to match it with my strength at that time."

Back then, he was only at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm, far inferior to him now. Even now, he struggles to deal with the Yuan Worm, so one can imagine that he would have been no match for it back then.

Just as Master Zhang was about to refine the Yuan Worm to death by circulating the Taiji Diagram, a violent tremor suddenly came from the starry sky. It was the Yuan Worm, hidden deep in the starry sky, shrinking its body!
The primordial insect's body, covering the sun, moon, and stars in distant space, is mobilizing its power!
It sensed that its body, which covered the world of Guiyuan, was in danger, so it mobilized its power to try to free its suppressed body.

Master Zhang's expression changed drastically. The power he received almost tore apart his Tai Chi Dao Field and was nearly unable to suppress the Yuan Worm's body!
"This prodigy is incredibly powerful!"

Master Zhang flew out of the Guiyuan World with the Yuan Worm and arrived in space. He saw the Yuan Worm pulling him along, whistling through layers of starry sky, heading straight into the distance.

In the distant starry sky, thick, fleshy strands connect to the stars, forming a network that covers all the stars near the Guiyuan World, even the surface of the sun is shrouded in the fleshy blood of the Yuan Worms, drawing power from the sun!
Master Zhang was being dragged along and unable to maintain his balance, but he remained calm and managed to operate the Tai Chi Daoist field to its fullest potential.

Within his dojo, the Yin and Yang energies recreated a world in a short moment, almost as large as the Guiyuan World, with well-preserved mountains and rivers and lush vegetation.

This world also has birds and beasts, flowers, insects and fish, as well as human kingdoms, villages and cities, and hundreds of millions of living beings.

What's even more peculiar is that the Primordial Insect sensed that the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth here was also the normal Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

It was as if it had entered a new world. The insect acted on instinct; it had fled immediately upon sensing danger, but now that it found no danger, it paused and immediately covered the world with its own flesh and blood, attempting to devour and refine it.

"It's a good thing you're just an insect. If you were a cultivator who had developed intelligence, it would be extremely difficult to capture you."

Master Zhang breathed a sigh of relief. When the primordial insect covered the entire world and the evil path invaded his Dao of Heaven and Earth, he immediately activated the Dao field.

This world trembled violently, collapsed, and transformed into pure Yin and Yang energies, which roared and spun, pulverizing the flesh and blood of the Yuan worm.

Suddenly, Yin and Yang merged into one, becoming inseparable. The flesh and blood of the primordial insect were instantly refined and merged into the primordial Qi.

Master Zhang exhaled a breath of turbid air and laughed, "If I hadn't studied Chen Zhenwang's Yin-Yang Hunyuan, it would have been quite difficult to defeat you. Chen Zhenwang is right, refining Yuan Worms can indeed greatly improve one's cultivation. If I refine more, I'm afraid my cultivation will greatly improve in a short time!"

He felt his cultivation level rising steadily, and in a short time, he reached the peak of the thirteenth realm and was about to break through to the fourteenth realm.

This is the power obtained from refining the primordial insect; it is incomparably pure and superior to any elixir or medicine!
Master Zhang was delighted and walked toward the nearby stars, where primordial insects still covered the stars.

In the world of Guiyuan, Shaoguang saw Zhang Zhenren soar into the sky with the Yuanchong and disappear into the heavens. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, as Zhang Zhenren had put too much pressure on him.

Just then, a voice rang out: "Senior brother, could you perhaps also be Xunjiang Mu?"

Shao Guang stopped, turned around with a smile, and said, "Chen Shi? The Chen Shi that Senior Brother Xi Muran mentioned?"

He looked over and saw a handsome young immortal who had appeared behind him at some point.

According to the primordial insect's memory, this young immortal was Chen Shi.

The worm's memory is filled with fear of this person.

Shao Guang looked Chen Shi up and down and smiled, "Xunjiang Mu hasn't reported the current situation of the Yuanchong in Xunjiang Starfield to the Celestial Court for a long time, so my master ordered me to come and check what happened here. Before I came, I met Senior Brother Xi, who mentioned you to me, saying that you are my master's junior brother and have unparalleled talent."

He said leisurely, "Although my master is a Celestial Emperor with great supernatural powers, he never expected that some insignificant creatures in the ranch would learn the techniques to deal with the Yuan Insects, and even harm his disciples by stealing his skills and supernatural powers and impersonating his disciples."

"Stealing lessons?"

Chen Shi shook his head and said, "I did not steal the techniques, but rather deduced your lineage's techniques from the techniques passed down by the Celestial Venerable."

Shao Guang was greatly surprised and found it quite interesting: "You deduced the Great Wilderness Dao Collection? My master is the current Immortal Emperor, with unfathomable cultivation and unparalleled Dao techniques. How did you deduce his techniques?"

Before Chen Shi could answer, Shao Guang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he laughed, "I know. Senior Brother Li was very arrogant and was tricked by the remnants of the Shang Dynasty in Xiniu New Continent, resulting in his death together with them. After he was reborn through possession, he established Despair Slope in order to clear away all obstacles. He needed to pass on his skills, so he passed on the Great Wilderness Dao Collection that our master had taught us. Am I right?"

He obtained some memories about Xiniu New Continent from Yuanchong, and was not unfamiliar with what happened there.

However, he was unaware that the Celestial Venerable had not disseminated the Great Wilderness Dao Compendium, but rather disassembled it, dividing it into several cultivation techniques. Chen Shi comprehended the secrets of the Great Wilderness Dao Compendium from these techniques.

"Senior Brother Li is incredibly audacious, calling himself a Celestial Venerable in this desolate land! He was too absurd, spreading our sect's techniques, and as a result, he died at the hands of you ranch creatures. He deserved to die."

Shao Guang smiled and said, "But you are different. Chen Shi, Senior Brother Xi admires you greatly. If you are willing to submit, I will definitely recommend you to our master and make you his true disciple!"

Chen Shi did not directly reject his suggestion. Instead, he walked to his side, looked at the devastated Guiyuan World in the distance, and said, "You can tell that I am also a human, not a demon from the Dark Sea. Our Xiniu New Continent is human territory. You treat the Xunjiang Star Region as a pasture, destroying one demon world after another. Why do you also want to destroy our Xiniu New Continent?"

Shao Guang turned to look at him, quite moved, and said, "Chen Shi, you have ascended to the Earthly Immortal Realm, you should see the current state of the Earthly Immortal Realm. The Heavenly Court controls the Earthly Immortal Realm, the gods wield the Heavenly Dao treasures, what happens to the immortals? After ascending, they serve as slaves to the Heavenly Court! After ascending, they join the Heavenly Army and become cannon fodder for Li Tianwang! Look around, how many immortals who have ascended to the Upper Realm are living a happy life? There are countless immortals in the world, numbering in the tens of millions."

His voice was filled with resentment: "They are all ants under the Heavenly Court's jurisdiction! But the Heavenly Court still doesn't trust us ants! When Li Tianwang goes out to quell a rebellion, he can lose 100,000 immortals! 100,000 immortals! How many worlds' geniuses have been destroyed by him in one go?"

Chen Shi said, "Senior brother, you still haven't answered my question."

Shao Guang suppressed his anger and said, "The Earthly Immortal Realm must change this injustice and give us immortals a place to live. Since the Heavenly Court won't give it to us, we immortals must fight for it ourselves! My master established the Immortal Court to overthrow the Heavenly Court! The Immortal Court is still weak at present. Without the protection of spiritual objects, it will be difficult to survive the tribulation."

His voice softened, and his tone became much gentler. He said, "The Primordial Worm can protect the Celestial Court, preventing the immortals from facing calamities. This creature is an exotic object from the Dark Sea. My master said it is a kind of earth-treasure spiritual root that can grow. If it grows to maturity, the entire Earth Immortal Realm can be under its protection, free from disasters and calamities. However, it is very difficult for the Primordial Worm to grow to its complete form. Therefore, my master had a few trusted disciples herd it in the Dark Sea."

He looked at Chen Shi and said, "If we let the Yuan Worms graze in the Dark Sea, they will inevitably wreak havoc. But fortunately, the Dark Sea is full of demons. These demons are arrogant and evil. Killing them will rid the world of a scourge. However, we did not expect that there would be a human race in the Dark Sea. But I do not think that Senior Brother Li's manipulation of the Yuan Worms to annex Xiniu New Continent is a heinous crime."

Chen Shi raised his eyebrows and glanced over.

Shao Guang said, "Xiniu New Continent was ruled by the remnants of the Shang Dynasty at that time. The remnants of the Shang Dynasty deserved to die. Even if Senior Brother Li killed them all, he would be doing good without any wrongdoing."

"and after?"

Chen Shi asked, "We are immigrants from the ancestral Ming Dynasty, who moved here. Why would they still try to harm us?"

Shao Guang shook his head and said, "You can only say that you are unlucky. You shouldn't have come to Xiniu New Continent. In order to cultivate the Yuan Worm, there must be sacrifices."

Chen Shi sneered, "It wasn't you who was sacrificed!"

"If it could change the world, break free from the rule of the Heavenly Court, and bring the Earthly Immortal Realm into the hands of the immortals, I would be willing to sacrifice myself!"

Shao Guang looked at him and said, "Chen Shi, you were once a celestial soldier, and even led 200,000 immortals in a rebellion against the Heavenly Court. Don't you want to change this world?"

Chen Shi shook his head: "Senior brother, you and your Celestial Court are also part of this world. To change this world, both the Celestial Court and the Heavenly Court need to be eliminated!"
