Chapter 688 The True King Mends the Sky
In the distant starry sky, stars appeared one by one. It was the Yuan Worm that was collecting the flesh and blood covering those stars. The starlight gradually lit up the night sky. Even in the Dark Sea, the night sky appeared dark, quiet and charming.

"It seems something has happened in Xunjiang."

Floating in the dark sea is the City of No Thought, where immortals stand guard. Beneath the city lies an endless expanse of flesh and blood. This is the true form of the Primal Worm.

The immortal guarding Wusi City is named Mei Zhenqing, the second senior brother of the Immortal Emperor's sect. He appears to be a kind and honest elder. He looked at Xunjiang Starfield with suspicion, only to see huge flesh and blood flying in from Xunjiang Starfield and merging with the true form of the Yuan Worm.

The true form of the Primordial Worm is enormous. Although the amount of flesh and blood covering the sun, moon, and stars in the Xunjiang Starfield is extremely large, it does not make the true form much larger when integrated into the Primordial Worm's true form.

It resembles a large, hairy, fleshy ball floating in a dark sea. Those "hairs" are its tentacles extending to other star systems, composed of flesh and blood, and are no different from its original body.

Something must have happened in Xunjiang!

Mei Zhenqing tried to contact the Yuanchong to find out what had happened in the Xunjiang Star Region from its thoughts. However, when his thoughts connected with the Yuanchong, he found that the Yuanchong's thoughts were chaotic and confused, and he did not find any useful clues.

“Junior Brother Li has been in the Xunjiang Star Region for over 16,000 years without any news. Some time ago, I reported this to Master, who said he would send out a junior brother. Now, we haven’t seen the junior brother, but the Yuanchong has returned.”

He hesitated, wanting to immediately head to the Xunjiang Star Region to see what had happened, but he knew that once he left, there would be no one to guard the Yuan Worm. If trouble arose, he feared it would incur the punishment of the Immortal Emperor.

Mei Zhenqing withdrew his gaze and looked towards other star regions.

“Junior Brother Ming is in charge of herding in the Ant Fate Starfield, Junior Brother Bai is in charge of herding in the Three Dragons Starfield, Junior Brother Xuan is in charge of the Lechang Starfield, Junior Brother Wu is in charge of the Jiangmei Starfield… None of these starfields have encountered any trouble, but something has happened in Xunjiang. We should inform our master about this matter and ask him to make a decision.”

He summoned a Golden Immortal from Wusi City and ordered him to immediately return to the Earthly Immortal Realm and report this matter to the Immortal Emperor.

The golden immortal departed in haste.

After handling the situation, Mei Zhenqing asked in a low voice, "Master, can the Yuan Worm really help us withstand the calamity?"

He remembered the time he traveled through the Dark Sea with the Immortal Emperor.

Back then, the Celestial Emperor was already a Great Luo Golden Immortal, renowned for his virtue. However, he was concerned about the troubles of the world before himself, fearing that the upcoming calamity would cause great harm to the immortals. Yet, the Heavenly Court was happy to see the immortals perish, and the Three Pure Ones and the Western Paradise each minded their own business. Thus, the Celestial Emperor had to find a solution himself.

They traveled through the Dark Sea for thousands of years. It was during that time that the Immortal Emperor absorbed the great Dao of Heaven and Earth from the Dark Sea, improved the Great Wilderness Dao Collection, and incorporated the demonic path and other unorthodox paths into the Great Wilderness Dao Collection, thus forging a unique path.

They found many precious spiritual roots in the Dark Sea, but they still could not find a treasure that could protect all people.

Just as they were about to return to the Immortal Realm in despair, they encountered the Primal Worm.

At that time, the Yuan Worm was just a fleshy ball drifting in the dark sea. It was washed ashore by the waves and landed on the shore of the Fish Weir World, where it slowly grew.

It grew to the size of a small mountain, its flesh and blood spreading out like tentacles, forming a unique demonic realm that spanned hundreds of miles, capturing any creature that fell into its territory.

Furthermore, this realm of spirits and deities has peculiar rules that assimilate any living beings that enter it.

The Fish Weir World is the territory of the Dark Sea Demon Clan. Many demon cultivators came upon hearing the news, attempting to eliminate this strange creature, but they were all devoured by the Yuan Worm.

Yuanchong thus became a taboo in the world of Yuliang, and the locals called it the "meat mountain," while some called it the "meat worm."

However, there are many similar taboos in the Fish Weir world, so the senior experts of the Demon Clan did not care, and no one knew just how terrifying this Yuan Worm was.

After the Immortal Emperor arrived at this place, he discovered the Primal Worm.

"It is a kind of evil and strange path."

The Immortal Emperor was quite surprised to lead Mei Zhenqing into the Yuan Worm's ghostly realm. He examined the mass of flesh and blood, and was very shocked. He said, "This piece of flesh and blood drifted in the Dark Sea. Wherever it had a weakness, it was eroded by the Dark Sea. The remaining parts are extremely solid, and nothing can destroy them. Is it a living being, or is it the flesh and blood that fell from the body of some ancient being?"

Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the flesh contained ancient and complete laws of the Dark Sea, along with faint fluctuations of thought.

So he cut his wrist and fed the worms with his own precious blood.

The Yuan Worm finally revealed its unparalleled power, its flesh and blood growing and polluting the world's laws and all things in the Fish Weir!

In a short time, it devoured the Fish Weir World, assimilated the Great Dao of the Fish Weir World, and all living beings, including demonic cultivators, were transformed into evil spirits and eventually became part of the Primordial Worm.

It seems to have unlimited potential for growth!

Upon witnessing this scene, the Celestial Emperor couldn't help but shed tears and said to Mei Zhenqing, "This item will save the Earthly Immortal Realm and all the immortals."

The Celestial Emperor named this piece of flesh and blood "Yuan Worm" and took it away from the Dark Sea.

Later, the Immortal Emperor made a decision to have Mei Zhenqing return to the Dark Sea with the Primal Worms to herd them in preparation for the upcoming calamity. Besides Mei Zhenqing, there were six other disciples from different star regions who herded the Primal Worms, allowing them to devour worlds one by one.

But now, with the calamity approaching, Mei Zhenqing still can't believe whether the Yuan Worm can truly protect the immortals of the Earthly Immortal Realm.

"The Primal Worm is nothing more than a dark sea creature with shallow consciousness," he thought to himself.

Within the flesh and blood of the Yuan Worm beneath the City of No Thought, thoughts surged like lightning before lurking into the shadows.

"Chen Shi wants me to die, but I won't fall for his trick..."

Its enormous body is like an unimaginable brain, its thoughts flowing like thunderclouds.

"But he was right about one thing: if my strength is above that of an Immortal Emperor, then do I still need to fear him and be controlled by him?"

The thought suddenly popped into my head and I couldn't stop it.

The primordial insect was filled with fear. Remembering the power and terror of the Immortal Emperor, it was about to suppress the thought when it suddenly stopped as if possessed.

“Once I grow up, I will be controlled by him and become a treasure for all the immortals in the Earthly Immortal Realm to withstand the tribulations. No matter how strong I am, after withstanding a few tribulations, I will probably die from exhaustion, just like those earthly treasures and spiritual roots. So why can’t I turn the tables and take control?”

Its thoughts settled completely, without leaking out in the slightest.

Chen Shi returned to the Guiyuan World, intending to refine the evil energy and heretical practices left by the Yuan Worm in the world, but suddenly stopped and frowned slightly.

"The Great Dao of the Returning Origin World is an external path, not the normal Great Dao of the world. If I were to use the Great Dao of the world to combine with my own Dao and refine the evil energy and heretical practices of this place, it would still be an uninhabitable place for the natives of this place."

He refined the evil path and evil energy using the method of "the Great Dao unites with me." The Yuan Worm was also restrained by his strange approach and was instilled with fear by him. However, Chen Shi's method also assimilated the Great Dao of the Returning Origin World. If that were the case, for the Shijia Clan, it would be almost the same as living in the evil path of the Yuan Worm.

"The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth here should be the same as that of Xiniu New Continent, with external paths mixed in with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth are basically the same, the only difference is the external paths."

Chen Shi had a sudden inspiration and summoned the demon immortal Luo Yu, asking, "What kind of heretical path do you cultivate?"

Luo Yu said, “I don’t know either. I followed the Heavenly Evil Star Rain technique taught by my master. Over time, one day I realized that I could resonate with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. I involuntarily entered a meditative state and felt as if I had become a part of Heaven and Earth, which was very pleasant. Then I was captured by a ray of light and somehow ended up in the Celestial Realm.”

"The Celestial Realm?"

Chen Shi paused, thinking to himself, "The Celestial Realm he mentioned must be the Xiniu New Continent, right? It must have been created by Feifei and Tianqing."

He didn't take it to heart and said, "Show me your dojo."

Luo Yu unleashed his dojo, covering an area of ​​a thousand miles.

As Chen Xing walked through the Taoist temple, he carefully observed that the Taoist practice that Luo Yu cultivated was the traditional demonic path, which was different from the bloodthirsty demonic path contained in the Heavenly Luo Blood Transformation Divine Blade, and also different from the demonic path contained in the Great Wilderness Bright Path Collection.

Chen Shi's heart stirred slightly: "Indeed, the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth in the two worlds are not much different. The biggest difference lies in the external path. The external path is the uniqueness of different worlds, it is unique to them, and other worlds do not have this characteristic."

He observed more and more meticulously, and soon found the demonic methods in Luo Yu's Taoist methods, and gradually discerned the laws of the Great Dao.

"Hmm, this kind of Dao principle is recorded in the Heavenly Dao of the Azure Palace in the Western Underground of Penglai, and it seems to be even more detailed than Luo Yu's Dao principle!"

Chen Shi had been studying unorthodox methods in the underground Qing Palace and was quite familiar with the Heavenly Dao of the Dark Sea. Luo Yu's unorthodox methods, however, were rather crude and incomparable to the Heavenly Dao of the Qing Palace.

Fearing he might have made a mistake, Chen Shi continued to examine the site, spending more than ten days checking Luo Yu's thousand-mile dojo several times.

He had to mend the sky, so he had to be careful.

This attempt to mend the heavens is to repair the flawed Heavenly Dao of the Guiyuan World. Any slight error or omission would be a catastrophic disaster for the original inhabitants.

The Shiga race in the Guiyuan World now numbers less than 100,000 and could be wiped out if things go wrong.

Chen Shi did not want to bear the guilt of exterminating his clan.

He then asked Luo Yu about the techniques and supernatural powers of the Heavenly Evil Star Rain. To him, this technique and supernatural power were rather rudimentary and unsystematic. It was probably a cultivation path that the demon cultivators of the Guiyuan World had figured out on their own.

Unexpectedly, Luo Yu inadvertently embarked on the path of merging with the Dao, which was thus perceived by Chen Shi's Heavenly Secret Strategy, and he was forcibly ascended to the "Celestial Realm" by his Jade Balance Sect.

Chen Shi mastered this technique and its supernatural power, and within just a few days, he cultivated it to the level of Dao Integration, only then confirming that he had nothing missing.

He took a bath, changed into some clean clothes, dressed in an elegant and unrefined manner, walked barefoot with his hair down, and went to the center of the Guiyuan World.

He sat cross-legged, and the sacred space gradually spread outwards, beginning to mend the sky.

This time, he reduced the Great Dao in his own Daoist temple and tried his best to imitate the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth in the Guiyuan World. In the process of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth merging with me, he tried to restore the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth in the Guiyuan World as much as possible.

Previously, in his duel with Shaoguang, he violently expanded his Daoist practice to forcibly cleanse the evil primordial insects from the practice, aiming to use the Guiyuan World as his Dao realm to compensate for his insufficient magical power. Now, he is using the gentle process of grinding water to slowly assimilate and change the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

The rays of light emanated from him, spreading outwards in all directions and gradually merging into the world, disappearing into nothingness.

Where the rosy light blends in, withered roots sprout new shoots, shriveled seeds burst open their shells, tender seedlings break through the ground, tree stumps grow new branches, and rice plants bloom with flowers.

When the wind blows between heaven and earth, and the air flows and rises, clouds appear and rain falls.

Amidst thunder, rain fell from the sky, gathering on the ground to form streams, rivers, and lakes, eventually flowing into the sea.

Suddenly, a riot of colors appeared on the once lifeless continent; rivers, lakes, and even the ocean came alive with color and vitality.

This immense vitality expanded outwards, and although the process was slow, as Chen Shi's dojo spread, the area it covered grew wider and wider. In just five or six days, it had already expanded to 30,000 li.

When Zhang Zhenren, Zhong Wuwang, Xiao Duan and the others cleared away the remnants of the primordial insects in the starry sky and returned to the Guiyuan World, the process of mending the heavens had come to an end.

What came into their view was no longer a lifeless world, but rather green mountains and clear waters, teeming with life, where everything flourished, making them feel refreshed and relaxed.

They entered the World of Return to Origin, walking between heaven and earth, staring blankly at this astonishing change, their hearts filled with shock, speechless for a long time.

Master Zhang broke the silence first, saying, "My master, Master Huolong, told me that the path of cultivation is to seize the creation of heaven and earth. Humans are born, grow old, get sick, and die; this is the way of nature. Cultivating immortality is to seek longevity. To achieve this, one must seize the creation of heaven and earth to live as long as heaven and earth."

His achievements have surpassed those of the Fire Dragon Immortal, but he deeply agrees with this statement.

Master Zhang said, “Only today have I seen someone transcend this saying, using their own Dao to mend the creation of heaven and earth and seek survival for the common people. I deeply admire them.”

Zhong Wuwang looked at this world that seemed to have been newly created and said, "This is the place where the demon race lives. To repair the creation of heaven and earth is to repair the heretical path. Isn't this going astray?"

Others had similar thoughts.

If Chen Shi were to restore the world of Guiyuan to resemble the Earthly Immortal Realm or any other world, they would find it perfectly reasonable. However, restoring it to its original form would be somewhat inappropriate.

Master Zhang explained, "But the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth in the Earthly Immortal Realm is the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth in the Divine Continent of China, and it may not be applicable to other worlds."

As he was speaking, the fairy Luo Yu walked over, her expression somewhat strange.

Master Zhang asked, "Immortal Luo, were there any mistakes or omissions in the True King's patching of the heavens?"

The demon fairy Luo Yu looked somewhat frightened and stammered, "I don't know if there are any mistakes or omissions, but the True King Mending the Heavens, the heretical path of my Guiyuan World seems to be more exquisite and complete than before."

Everyone was stunned.

The demon fairy Luo Yu continued, "I didn't realize that there was a flaw in the external path of my Guiyuan World before, but I realized it after the True King mended the heavens."
