On the Avenue.

Chapter 700 The Resurgence of the Heavenly Dao
When Fairy Xiao Duan entered the main hall of the Green Palace, Chen Shi also wanted to go in, but he felt a wave of heat hitting him. He felt as if he was being baked dry. No matter how exquisite his magic was, he couldn't resist it and immediately retreated outside the door.

Inside the hall, ancient and incomparably powerful divine senses surged and made contact with Xiao Duan.

"Is only a woman left in Ziqi's bloodline?" one of the ancient divine senses asked with some disappointment.

Fairy Xiao Duan said, "Reporting to our ancestors, I am the only one left in the royal family of the Great Shang Dynasty."

Another ancient divine consciousness sighed, "They ultimately succeeded in their ruthless extermination. Even the Three Pure Ones are not to be trusted!"

"Even if only one person remains, it is not impossible to restore the glory of the Shang Dynasty!"

“Child, what do you want? We are just nine imprisoned, lonely ghosts, and we can’t help you.”

Fairy Xiao Duan bowed gracefully, her lotus skirt spreading across the ground: "The Great Shang Dynasty suffered the calamity of the Zhou Dynasty, and many of our clan's classic texts have been lost. This disciple has come to beg for the Xuan Niao Zheng Yu Technique to awaken our ancestral bloodline. I beg our ancestors to grant my request!"

"as you wish."

……

The doors of the Qing Palace suddenly closed, separating Chen Shi and Kundulun.

Chen Shi examined the doors of the Qing Palace and saw many mysterious patterns on them. These patterns belonged to the Dark Sea Path pattern. Because they were branded on the doors rather than painted on them, they had not been erased.

He studied it carefully, and a thought stirred in his mind. The gate was a kind of sealing technique, a seal formed by mobilizing external forces.

He comprehended the Dark Sea Dao, and the Dark Sea Dao patterns on the portal were easily deciphered. It was not difficult to understand the mysteries of this Dao.

He became so engrossed in reading that he couldn't help but immerse himself in the task of understanding it.

Kundulun was left aside by him, and he was trying to absorb the demonic energy and resentment of this place. However, he was imprisoned by Chen Shi and could not mobilize any of his cultivation.

After a long time, Chen Shi finally comprehended the heretical supernatural power on the gate. This sealing supernatural power was extremely extraordinary, no less than the Taoist magic on the green stele, and even surpassed it!

The person who set up this barrier must be a big shot in the Dark Sea.

"Why did such beings disappear, leaving only this Green Palace?" he asked, puzzled.

Xiao Duan has not yet emerged, while Kundulun is wholeheartedly devoted to cracking the Jade Purity Free and Easy Finger.

Seeing his earnest efforts, Chen Shi was filled with admiration and thought to himself, "This boy must not be allowed to live."

Thinking of this, he stepped forward and used the external seal on the gate to cast dozens of seals in succession, which were then applied to Kundulun.

Kundulun was trying to break the Jade Purity Finger, but unexpectedly, dozens of seals appeared in his body. These seals were completely different from the Jade Purity Finger. He couldn't help but groan, open his eyes, and stare at Chen Shi with resentment.

Chen Shi didn't take it seriously, thinking to himself, "This external seal was derived from the gate of the Azure Palace, so why not call it the Azure Palace Cloud Covering Hand?"

Although he could seal Kundulun, he had no way of killing Kundulun.

Kundulun is exceptionally powerful, born from the Dark Sea Heavenly Dao. Without breaking the Dark Sea Heavenly Dao, he cannot be killed. Chen Shi racked his brains but could not find a way to eliminate him.

"My Demon Realm in the Well is said to be an anomaly of the Great Dao, giving rise to heretical paths, and is extremely powerful. I wonder if using it as fertilizer to feed my demon tree would make it grow faster?"

Chen Shi hesitated for a moment.

To this day, he still does not know the relationship between the abnormal point of the Great Dao and the Great Demon.

He had heard different rumors. Some said that the Great Dao Anomaly Point was a strange place where great demons were born, while others said that the Great Dao Anomaly Point was a place where heretical paths flourished. Heretical paths suddenly erupted and became extremely intense, forming a peculiar territory.

There are also rumors that the Great Demon is merely a being born from external paths and has little to do with the anomalies of the Great Dao.

Chen Shi didn't know much about this, but before he came, he entered the Demon Realm in the Well and used his own understanding of the Dark Sea Heaven Dao to mend the sky of the Demon Realm in the Well, causing the demon tree to grow thousands of branches and become extremely strong.

Therefore, he decided to bury Kundulun under the tree to see the effect. If it didn't work, he would go to the Xuanhuang Sea and throw him into his godmother's Demon-Suppressing Well. Although the Demon-Suppressing Well couldn't kill the great demon, it also wouldn't be able to escape.

"I don't know the relationship between the Great Demon and the Great Dao Anomaly Point, but isn't there a Demon Seed here?"

Chen Shi's eyes flashed. He sat down to the side, picked up a bone from the ground, and threw it on Kundulun's forehead.

The bone was likely human, still containing divine power, and made a clanging sound when it struck Kundulun.

Kundulun remained motionless.

He had amazing perseverance. Even though Chen Shi sealed him with the Azure Palace Cloud-Covering Hand, he was still unwilling to give up and tried to break the seal.

Chen Shi picked up another bone and threw it, but Kundulun remained unmoved with another thud.

Chen Shi picked up one bone after another, and each time he accurately smashed it onto Kundulun's forehead.

Kundulun frowned, his anger growing stronger. Finally, unable to contain himself any longer, he opened his eyes, his gaze filled with murderous intent, and shouted, "You wicked scoundrel, I'll fight you to the death!"

He leaped up and lunged at Chen Shi, only to be kicked to the ground by Chen Shi.

Kundulun lay on the ground, his eyes darting around, and laughed: "Zhong Wuwang, don't you want to obtain the power of the Nine Emperors of the Great Shang? That Wen Wuyu is your Daoist partner, isn't she? You two are such a pair of scoundrels...you two are such a perfect couple...a truly enviable pair. But your strength is far inferior to your partner's."

He sat up abruptly, looked at Chen Shi, and coaxed him gently, "If Wen Wuyu obtains the inheritance of the Nine Emperors of the Great Shang Dynasty and absorbs their power, she will surpass you! You will never catch up with her in your entire life! You are a man, are you willing to be inferior to your own woman?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Shi asked, "What are your thoughts?"

Kundulun laughed, "You are a demon seed, and so am I. We are truly on the same side. You will break the seal, and together we will storm into that Azure Palace, absorb the Nine Emperors of the Great Shang Dynasty, and become the two heroes of the demonic path!"

Chen Shi praised, "You speak very well. But wouldn't it be better if I absorbed the nine emperors of the Great Shang Dynasty and became the sole hero of the demonic path?"

Kundulun grunted, stopped trying to persuade him, closed his eyes, and continued to work hard to break the Jade Purity Free and Easy Finger.

Chen Shi picked up a bone, pretending to throw it. Kundulun frowned, opened his eyes, and glared at him fiercely.

Chen Shi put down the bone and smiled, "Fellow Daoist, do you know about the anomaly point of the Great Dao?"

Kundulun slowly ground his teeth, as if the flesh beneath them was being ground down bit by bit. However, he quickly suppressed his anger and regained his composure.

"An anomaly in the Great Dao?"

Kundulun asked, "Are you perhaps referring to the place where the Heavenly Dao revives within the Dao Ruins?"

Chen Shi was slightly taken aback: "The place where the Heavenly Dao revives?" Kun Dulun said: "There is only one place in the Earthly Immortal Realm where the Heavenly Dao revives, and that is the Dao Ruins. The Heavenly Dao of the original world is buried in the Dao Ruins, suppressed by the Three Pure Ones. Every once in a while, the Heavenly Dao will attempt to revive. This kind of place is the place where the Heavenly Dao revives. You have found a place where the Heavenly Dao revives? Heaven have mercy, this is an omen of the great revival of my Dao!"

“I refined it,” Chen Shi said.

The excitement on Kundulun's face vanished, replaced by horror and disbelief.

Chen Shi said leisurely, "I have a Dao Realm in the Dao Ruins, and there just so happens to be an anomaly point of the Great Dao inside, so I refined it. As for the Great Demon, what's going on?"

Kundulun was still somewhat incredulous. After a moment, he said, "The Great Demon is just your term. To us, I am the chosen one born from the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, bearing the responsibility of restoring the Dao and driving out the invaders."

Chen Shi thought about it and realized that there was some truth to what he said.

The Three Pure Ones opened up the Dark Sea and created the Earthly Immortal Realm. The Earthly Immortal Realm was originally the Dark Sea, and the various worlds attached to the Earthly Immortal Realm are simply worlds within the Dark Sea.

These worlds originally had their own Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. After becoming subordinate to the Earthly Immortal Realm, the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth of these worlds was also transformed into the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth of the ancestral court of China, which is also known as the Immortal Dao.

To the original inhabitants of the Dark Sea, the descendants of the Chinese ancestral court in the Immortal Realm were invaders.

Kundulun was born with the destiny of heaven and earth and bears the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the way of heaven. Isn't he the child of destiny?
“Countless similar chosen ones have been suppressed in the Houde Heavenly Palace,” Chen Shixin said.

In addition, the Three Pure Ones dug wells everywhere, suppressing those chosen ones of destiny in the Demon-Suppressing Wells in an attempt to refine them.

Kundulun sneered, "Demon is just a name these immortals have imposed on us. The demonic path and the heretical path are also slanders by these immortals. They only do this to cover up the heinous crimes they have committed! Zhong Wuwang, you are also an immortal. Do you feel the same way about these crimes? Or have you also committed many evils and committed heinous crimes?"

Chen Shi stood beside him, his thoughts drifting. After a moment, he slowly said, "Every inch of the territory of the Chinese people was not given to us by other races, but was won by our soldiers with their lives. Wild beasts and poisonous insects will not voluntarily give up their territory to you, nor will other races give up their land to you."

He paused and said, "Is it a case of waiting to be wiped out when we decline if we don't expand our territory and develop our population during our prosperous period? I don't think the Three Pure Ones did anything wrong by opening up the Dark Sea. For the continuation and development of our race, anything is permissible."

Kundulun sneered, "You're no different from me."

Chen Shi said, "Mencius said, 'Love your relatives, then be kind to the people, and love all things.' I take this as my guiding principle."

Kundulun was slightly taken aback: "What do you mean?"

"This saying is about how to conduct oneself in society. As a person, you must first be kind to your family. Only after you have been filial to your parents and respectful to your brothers can you care for others."

"Only after you have shown care for others can you show care for all things. Races compete for territory and for reproduction; if you do not compete, others will become stronger and destroy you."

As Chen Shi pondered, he said, “Therefore, the greatest benevolence is to ensure the survival of the race, and to be kind to one’s own people. To compromise with other races out of kindness while disregarding the safety of one’s own race is not benevolence, but a great evil.”

“In the process of China’s rise, countless races and nations have perished. If we are soft-hearted, we risk national extinction and the extinction of our race. This is not benevolence, but a great evil.”

Kundulun shouted sternly, "You are the demons!"

Chen Shi remained expressionless and said, "My enemies are their heroes. This has been true throughout history, both at home and abroad. Those soft-hearted races have long since become extinct and no longer exist."

"The Three Pure Ones opened up the Dark Sea and destroyed your clan. They wanted to cultivate the land for the descendants of the Chinese people so that more descendants could be born and the clan could expand. They were not wrong."

"Heaven gave birth to you, and sent you to destroy the Earthly Immortal Realm created by the Three Pure Ones. You are not wrong."

Chen Shi paused for a moment, then said, "You infiltrated the ancestral home of the Chinese nation and led the Jianzhou demon army to slaughter countless members of my people. It is not wrong for me to kill you. This is a struggle for the survival of our race, and it has nothing to do with right or wrong."

Kundulun remained silent for a long time, then snorted: "You can't kill me. Sooner or later, the chosen one of destiny that you have suppressed will break free from your suppression, wipe you all out, and reclaim the land that belongs to us!"

Chen Shi said, "You were born of the Heavenly Dao, so I can't kill you using ordinary methods. But I have access to a place where the Heavenly Dao is reviving, and perhaps I can refine you to death there."

He smiled slightly: "I wasn't sure if this method could kill you before, but after you told me about the relationship between the Heavenly Dao Resurrection Ground and the Chosen One, I know how to kill you."

Kundulun's expression changed slightly, then he suddenly burst into laughter, mocking, "You might not even make it back to the Earthly Immortal Realm alive!"

Chen Shi smiled but remained silent.

The two waited quietly, while Kundulun continued to try to break the Jade Purity Free and Easy Finger and the Azure Palace Cloud Covering Hand, refusing to give up.

After a long while, the doors of the Qing Palace opened wide, and Fairy Xiao Duan walked out. Her aura surged, and she had seemingly broken through to the Golden Immortal realm, reaching the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm!

There are six Dao Realms in Taiyi Golden Immortal, but it is unknown which Dao Realm she has reached by opening up all her bloodline power this time.

Chen Shi stepped forward and asked, "Has Madam obtained the Mysterious Bird Domain Manual?"

Fairy Xiao Duan nodded, but her face was somewhat somber. She said, "I did not follow the path of the Heavenly Emperors of the Great Shang Dynasty. Instead, I transformed my bloodline power into my own Dao realm cultivation. Although I possess the Xuan Bird Orthodox Domain Technique, I only use it to stimulate my bloodline power and do not cultivate it."

Chen Shi laughed and said, "The bloodline inheritance system of the Great Shang Dynasty is outdated and can't keep up with the times. Why worship the past and belittle the present? In my opinion, the current immortal path is not worth pursuing either. The so-called merging with the Dao, borrowing the power of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, is nothing but a flower in a mirror and the moon in the water, not a true immortal."

Fairy Xiao Duan asked curiously, "May I ask, my husband, what is a true immortal?"

"True immortals unite with the Dao within themselves, and the Dao pervades their bodies. Even if heaven and earth collapse, their Dao realm will not be destroyed; even if the Great Dao perishes, their Dao will not perish."

Chen Shi said leisurely, "In this world, there is only one true immortal, Zhong Wuwang."

Little Dumpling Fairy seemed to be deep in thought.

Kundulun sneered, "Trying to glorify yourself, shameless!"

Chen Shi didn't take it to heart, picked up Kundulun, and laughed, "This time, I would like to ask my wife to clear the way and escort me away from this dangerous place."

"What's so difficult about this?"

Fairy Xiao Duan said with a sigh, and took the lead in leaving this Green Palace.

Chen Shi followed behind, carrying Kundulun. Xiao Duan fought his way through, unleashing the Heavenly Mandate Profound Yellow Technique to clear a path through the Great Xia soldiers. Chen Shi followed closely behind, and the couple charged forward, unstoppable.

It was incredibly difficult for them to break in, but it was much easier to break out, and they soon arrived at the ancient city of Baishi.

As the couple entered the ancient city, Fairy Xiao Duan let out a shout and unleashed her almost immortal-level magical power, activating the White Stone Ancient City.

The ancient city of Baishi paused slightly, then transformed into a beam of white light and disappeared into the vast summer sky!
Xiao Duan rode the ancient city of Baishi, which broke through the dark sea, passed through layers of void, and headed towards the ancestral home of China.

Her gaze fell on Chen Shi, who was looking ahead from the city wall, and she whispered, "This young man is quite interesting... Child, the emperor and empress you chose are very good."
