Chapter 734 The Nine Great Impure Bodies: The Physical Body

Chen Yindu handed the head of the Flawless God to Creator Xiao Wu, who carefully put it away. He cherished the head greatly because the Flawless God resisted Chen Yindu's mental connection, but he would not.

He hoped that Chen Yindu would thoroughly study this brain and then apply the research results to his own brain.

"There's not much left to cherish here, Xiao Shi, let's go."

Chen Yindu took the lead and crossed the lake.

Chen Shi and Xiao Wu of the Creation Realm lagged behind, closely following him. Chen Shi looked back and saw that the Green Palace underground was still standing there, undestroyed, which made him slightly taken aback.

"The Daoist techniques of this flawless deity are truly wondrous. If only we could also decipher the Daoist techniques in his mind, how wonderful that would be?"

He followed Chen Yindu outside and suddenly realized, "The Dao of the Flawless God is composed of the Dark Sea Heaven Dao patterns that we constructed. We decipher these patterns and transform them into Yuanfu, which means that the Dao he understands, we should also understand."

The reason they don't understand is simply because they haven't fully grasped these patterns of the Heavenly Dao.

He had a sudden realization: "Instead of deciphering the Dao of the flawless god, I should try to comprehend the patterns of the Dao and try to understand different Dao methods."

The three returned to Jin'ao Island and devoted themselves to studying the head.

This time, Chen Yindu was still using Chen Shi's mind to comprehend the matter together. Although it was a borrowing, Chen Shi's own thinking was still in charge. However, what he gleaned was gathered in the consciousness of Creation Little Five and exchanged with Chen Yindu.

The brain structure of the flawless god was primarily used on the creation of Xiao Wu, with limited application to Chen Shi and Chen Yin.

Once the deciphering was complete, Chen Yin, as he had previously stated, destroyed the head of the Flawless God without hesitation.

"Xiao Shi, I've finished comprehending the underground Green Palace, it's time for me to leave."

Chen Yin severed all contact with the Creator Xiao Wu and said, "Qianlong has repeatedly urged me to go to the front lines to break the magic of various gods, but I have always ignored him and declined to go into seclusion to comprehend it. Now that my time to emerge from seclusion is approaching, I can no longer delay."

Chen Shi asked, "Grandpa, can Fifth Uncle stay for a few days?"

"No."

Chen Yin seemed to have known his thoughts all along, and shook his head, saying, "You are obsessed with the feeling of using Chen Wu, and you can't get rid of the temptation of absolute divinity. If Chen Wu stays here, you will completely give him your human side and gradually lose your humanity."

He raised his hand to sever Chen Shi's connection with Creation Xiao Wu, his voice deep yet gentle: "Xiao Shi, you don't need to become that kind of person. I hope you can experience joy, cry when you're sad, be moved by empathy, and take action when you encounter injustice. You don't need to become an absolutely rational god."

After Chen Shi lost contact with the Creator Xiao Wu, he felt empty inside, and a variety of emotions surged up, making his wisdom no longer so clear and transparent.

He longed to return to that state, but he also knew that his grandfather was right; he couldn't become so immersed in that state that he neglected the people and things around him.

Chen Yin abandoned Cui Zhenzhen's body and returned his consciousness to his original form.

Creator Xiao Wu also departed.

When Cui Zhenzhen woke up, she groggily said, "Grandpa is gone? How long has it been? I feel like I just took a nap."

She suddenly exclaimed, "My cultivation is so high! I've reached the third level of the Dao Realm! Wait, what's going on with my Dao techniques? Is this the Yuanfu that I could never understand before?"

She was both surprised and delighted. During this period, not only had her cultivation level increased by two Dao Realms, but all the Dao patterns on her body had actually turned into Yuan Talismans.

These talismans are complex and mysterious, yet she can actually understand them!

“I feel like I’ve become a lot smarter,” she told Chen Shi.

Chen Shi said, "When the old man was using your brain, it was connected to my brain. The things he comprehended were so profound that he unknowingly helped clear some of the bottlenecks in your brain, making it work faster and more sensitively. It's like lifting you up and placing you in a higher position so that you can see further."

Cui Zhenzhen was a little worried: "Will I become stupid after the old man passes away?"

Chen Shi shook his head: "Your key has been unlocked, and you will naturally understand many principles without having to struggle to comprehend them. Of course, the more profound things are still the same as before. However, as long as you keep learning and understand more, you can also become a grandmaster."

Cui Zhenzhen was overjoyed and thanked him profusely.

Chen Shi smiled and said, "You are clear-headed. My grandfather borrowed your body to live with him, and you agreed without any resistance. Such a good deed deserves such a good reward."

Cui Zhenzhen left excitedly, laughing, "I'm going to find Uncle Jiang! He'll be so happy to see how smart I've become, and he won't have to worry about how I'll get into the Ascension Cliff anymore."

When Chen Shi had some free time, he couldn't help but think of that mysterious feeling he had after throwing humanity into the hands of the Creator Xiao Wu, and he was still filled with nostalgia.

"By completely abandoning humanity and achieving absolute divinity, perhaps I can create my own creation, Xiao Wu!"

Various Taoist techniques surfaced in his mind, and he quickly put together a set of effective methods. Following these methods, creating a creation similar to Xiao Wu would not be difficult.

“I can also let my defiled body take over my humanity, and transform the nine defiled bodies into my second brain! It’s not difficult to reverse the method that Grandpa used to guide my thoughts and consciousness into Uncle Wu’s mind.”

Chen Shi quickly created a similar mind-guided method by exploring various Taoist techniques in his mind.

What Chen Yin could do back then, he can do now too!
However, Chen Shi hesitated to make a move.

He now possesses humanity and knows that he should not linger too long in absolute divinity.

The ultimate person is selfless. If one completely loses oneself and becomes an ultimate person, it may not necessarily be a good thing.

Aren't humans made up of both humanity and divinity?
Humanity and divinity struggle with each other. By restraining my greed, anger, and ignorance, I am pulled out of hatred and love. By suppressing the evil in human nature, I strive for ideals and fight for beliefs. Humanity and divinity gradually reach a balance within myself.

Chen Shi relinquished his obsession with absolute divinity, found Xiao Duan, and said, "I have been in seclusion these past few days studying the Yuanfu, striving to comprehend extraordinary supernatural powers from it to deal with unforeseen events in the future. My wife, please join me in seclusion and transform your Dao patterns into Yuanfu."

Xiao Duan was worried about her mental state being unstable because her cultivation level had improved too quickly, so she readily agreed upon hearing this.

The couple secluded themselves for spiritual practice, detached from worldly affairs.

On this day, while Chen Shi was meditating, he suddenly felt his cultivation level continuously improving. A thought struck him, and he realized the reason: "My defiled body has found a new great demon's remains and sent it into the Demon Realm of the Well."

His nine defiled bodies dispersed to search for the Three Pure Ones' Demon-Refining Wells in different locations.

Chen Shi realized that his cultivation had improved because his evil body within his defiled body had found a Demon Refining Well and sent the great demon suppressed in the well to the Demon Realm within the well.

The nine defiled bodies are equivalent to his nine pairs of eyes, and he has vivid memories of all the defiled bodies' experiences.

The feeling of being dirty is also his feeling.

However, he does not need to pay attention to Gou Shen's actions, nor does he need to instruct Gou Shen's words and deeds; he lets Gou Shen do things naturally.

These nine defiled bodies are him, and they also possess the ability to act independently.

"None of my nine tainted bodies are benevolent. Fortunately, my Dao body is with me, so I haven't caused any trouble."

Chen Shi continued his cultivation, when suddenly he remembered something and thought to himself, "My Dao body, Chen Jiuyou, is a demonic Dao body. Being with those nine villains... is not a big deal. I'm here to oversee things. As long as my meditation isn't too deep, there won't be any problems."

Chen Shi was at peace with himself, forgetting both himself and the world around him.

Plague Province, Sinan Commandery.

"Wait a minute, I'll rob her of her virtue first!"

The one who rushed to the Demon-Suppressing Well was the lecherous Chen Shi. Si Nan County was a famous land of beauties, and he was so captivated by their beauty that he couldn't move and was filled with desire.

"We should call my elder brother Chen Pengqiao to be a pair of flower thieves. On one hand, they can reduce their merit by picking flowers, and on the other hand, they can increase their merit by eliminating demons and protecting the righteous path." The physical Chen Shi looked around and saw so many beautiful women. He felt a surge of lust rising within him and couldn't wait to go and have some fun.

At that moment, a down-on-his-luck young immortal came into his view.

"Why is he here?"

The young immortal was dressed in rags and looked quite distressed. He was being pushed and shoved, probably being conscripted by the government.

These days, the conflict between the Heavenly Court and the Celestial Court has intensified, and the war between immortals and gods has begun, and the Plague Province is not immune either.

The Plague Province is under the jurisdiction of the Plague Department and contains a Heavenly Palace. In addition to 360,000 plague gods of varying ranks, there are also 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals. Since the start of the war between immortals and gods, there have been several extremely brutal battles, in which countless gods and immortals have perished.

The Plague Department's heavenly soldiers and generals are composed of immortals. At the start of every major battle, the Plague Department always sends them to charge into battle, resulting in heavy casualties. Therefore, they are always short of manpower.

The practice of conscripting men to fill the imperial army was also commonplace.

"stop!"

Chen Shi stepped forward and shouted, "How dare you! This is my friend, release him immediately!"

When the gods who were conscripting men saw him, their expressions changed drastically. They quickly bowed and said, "We were unaware of Your Excellency's arrival. Please forgive us. We will release him immediately."

Chen Shi was the supreme leader of Jin'ao Island. Even the Plague Emperor Haotian of the Plague Department had to address him as Supreme Leader or Lord. Some of these gods had served under Plague Emperor Lü Yue and had seen Chen Shi's face before, so they recognized him.

Chen Shi, in his physical form, waved his hand, dispersing the celestial beings, and personally untied the young immortal, laughing, "How did Senior Brother Fan end up like this?"

That young immortal was none other than Fan Xiao, the eldest disciple of the Immortal Emperor.

His cultivation had already reached the Great Perfection of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, and he was only one opportunity away from breaking through and attaining the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. Chen Shi's initial attempt to persuade him to retrace his own path of enlightenment was merely a temporary measure, anticipating that with the passing year and the onset of the Great War between Immortals and Gods, Fan Xiao would surely return to the Celestial Court.

I never expected to see him in the Plague Province, and in such a wretched state.

When Fan Xiao saw Chen Shi, his eyes twitched, as if he had a lot of bitterness and grievances he wanted to express.

Chen Shi laughed and said, "Your clothes are really a bit shabby. I'll take you to change your clothes, and you can tell me about your experiences over the past year."

Fan Xiao hummed in agreement.

Chen Shi, in his physical form, led him to purchase several new outfits. Fan Xiao changed into them and regained some of the charisma he once possessed as the senior disciple under the Immortal Emperor.

"You must be starving. I'll take you to get something good to eat."

Chen Shi, in his sleek form, looked around, then his eyes lit up. He led Fan Xiao into the brothel. Without needing to be called out, the madam and a group of fallen beauties surrounded them, a scene of singing and dancing, lush greenery and vibrant red blossoms—everything imaginable.

The man in the clown form, Chen Shi, instructed, "This is my senior brother, you can call him Master Fan. Bring out the fine wine, the delicious food, the dragon liver and phoenix gall, and the beautiful girls as soon as possible. We need a private seat."

The madam said with a forced smile, "Uncle Fan, the girls at our Wan Hua Fang sell their art, not their bodies."

"Find a few prostitutes."

"Yes."

……

Before long, in the Lingxiao Pavilion on the thirty-third floor of Wanhua Fang, all kinds of delicacies were served in a continuous stream. Chen Shi and Fan Xiao, with their beautiful fairies by their side, frequently offered them drinks.

There were also singers dancing gracefully in front of the banquet, showcasing their singing talents.

Fan Xiao recounted his experiences over the past few days. After parting ways with Chen Shi, he thought about Chen Shi's fate and came to the Xiao Kingdom. It was the transition between winter and spring, and the land was still covered with ice and snow.

He was a swordsmanship genius, capable of comprehending the Primordial Chaos Division, and naturally had also grasped the first eight moves of the Primordial Chaos Sword Scripture. His comprehension of the Earth Qi Cold Greeting also involved traveling to the icy and snowy lands of the Earth Immortal Realm to observe the changes in the earth's energy brought about by the changing seasons.

At that time, he cleaved the earth thousands of feet deep with a single sword strike, creating an astonishingly large rift valley. Fan Xiao flew to the deepest part of the rift valley and observed the flow of earth energy caused by seasonal changes from bottom to top.

He comprehended the earth's energy in just four days.

This time, he followed Chen Shi's method and came to a village outside Xiao State to observe the changes in airflow caused by the earth's energy flowing out from underground and passing through bamboo.

People passing by him were quite surprised by his actions.

But over time, you get used to it.

His interaction with the earth's energy went very smoothly, and he also established friendships with these mortals. They took good care of him, bringing him food and drink every day, as well as cotton clothes to keep him warm.

After bidding farewell to the people of the village, he rushed to another place to contemplate the unpredictable nature of the wind.

Everything went smoothly during this period, and he grasped the essence of these moves, understanding Chen Shi's state of mind.

However, when he arrived in Mu Kingdom, he was swindled out of all his money and belongings by a man who looked like Chen Shi, leaving him destitute on the streets.

He had been pondering the mysteries of the Mu Kingdom, where clouds dispersed and mists receded, leaving the country in chaos and desolation. Having nothing of value, he decided to join the tumultuous turmoil of the Mu Kingdom's final years, experiencing firsthand the powerlessness and struggle of an ordinary person in the face of national subjugation.

In a way, he turned misfortune into blessing, as he finally fully grasped the secrets of this move.

Upon hearing this, Chen Shi, who was in physical form, felt a jolt in his heart: "The person who swindled him out of all his wealth and attire looks similar to me. But no matter how similar we are, we shouldn't be able to fool a master like Fan Xiao. Unless... it's me who deceived him."

Chen Shi's nine defiled bodies each possess unique skills: the lustful body is fond of lust, the robbery body is fond of robbery, the murderous body is fond of killing, and the thief body has the habit of never leaving empty-handed.

In addition, there is the fiery body of someone who kills but cannot arson, the deceitful body of someone who cheats and swindles, the cowardly body of someone who is a rat, the body of someone who transfers bad luck, and the greedy body of someone who is insatiable.

The nine impure beings went to different places to search for the Demon-Suppressing Well. It seems that Chen Shi, who had been deceiving others, encountered his senior brother Fan Xiao and was swindled out of all his possessions.

“It also helps him cultivate,” Chen Shixin said in his physical form.

“I don’t hate that swindler. This ordeal is a form of self-cultivation for me. Chen Shi, what are you doing here?” Fan Xiao asked after wolfing down his food, only half full.

The man in his physical form said truthfully, "To be honest, I came here to find the Three Pure Ones' Demon-Suppressing Well."

Upon hearing this, Fan Xiao asked in surprise, "Why are you looking for the Demon-Suppressing Well? In this war between immortals and gods, the Demon-Suppressing Wells in various places are the Celestial Court's backup plan. Right Celestial Master Qianlong has already made a plan to release the Great Demon when the two sides break off relations, so that the Great Demon can attack the Celestial Court. Today, I saw several familiar faces in the provincial capital. They should be the Celestial Court experts sent by Qianlong to find the Demon-Suppressing Well and release the Great Demon."

Chen Shi, in his physical form, hurriedly asked, "Senior Brother, do you know the exact location of the Demon-Suppressing Well? Could you take me there?"

Fan Xiao shook his head and said, "I'm not going. I have a past with those people, and I'll be recognized if I see them. The place is in the Hundred Saints Cave in the suburbs of Sinan County."

The lecherous Chen Shi immediately pushed the fairy in his arms aside, got up and walked out, but suddenly turned back, grabbed the fairy's chest twice, and said viciously, "Take good care of Master Fan!" After saying that, he turned and left.

Fan Xiao enjoyed a good meal and drinks. He noticed several fairies and found a few he liked, which aroused his desire. At this moment, a woman said with a coquettish smile, "Master Fan must be rich, he can pay the bill, right?"

Fan Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and he turned his head stiffly, saying in a hoarse voice, "My junior brother didn't settle the bill before he left?"

"Never."

Fan Xiao remained calm and said, "I wouldn't be so stingy as to owe you this much money, so you can rest assured. By the way, which way is the outhouse? I need to use the restroom."

The woman sneered, "Master Fan doesn't need to go to the outhouse. We sisters are also somewhat skilled in martial arts. Just as Master Fan ate this banquet, we sisters will beat him out of there!"
