Chapter 760 Heavenly Dao Intelligent Brain
After listening to the doll recount Chen Shi's situation, Chen Yin's expression changed drastically. He carefully inquired about Chen Shi's plans, then felt somewhat relieved and said, "It might not be a bad thing."

The rag doll's eyes widened, and it stammered, "How could this be a good thing? Little Ten has turned into a demon, even more evil than me..."

Chen Yindu said, "Passing on the Yuanfu will eliminate the distinction between gods and immortals, resolve the conflict between them, and allow the paths of immortals and gods to converge. The conflicts between immortals and gods will become conflicts between higher-ups, unrelated to ordinary immortals and gods. This is certainly a good thing. Let the leaders of the Heavenly Court and the Celestial Court fight to the death; what does it have to do with others?"

The rag doll angrily said, "Little Ten has hidden a loophole in the Yuan Talisman that only he knows about, and he plans to spread it widely so that he can control all cultivators!"

"As expected of my grandson, he can do what others cannot," Chen Yin praised.

The rag doll jumped onto his shoulder, touched the old man's forehead, and suspected that the old man was delirious from a fever.

"It doesn't burn."

It then lifted one of the old man's eyelids, suspecting that the old man had been possessed. If he had been possessed, his eyes would have been bloodshot in the first few days. But there were none.

Chen Yin let it do whatever it wanted and asked, "Little Five, do you think there are any loopholes in the Immortal Path?"

The rag doll sat on his left shoulder and said, “The Immortal Path is not perfect; it is merely the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth within the Ancestral Court. Many immortals who cultivate to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm realize that it is difficult to reach higher realms solely through the Immortal Path, and thus seek help from external paths. Of course, the Immortal Path has flaws.”

Chen Yindu then asked, "Are there any loopholes in the divine way?"

The rag doll pondered, "The divine path also has loopholes. The divine path absorbs the prayers of all living beings to become spirits, possesses divine power, controls the great Dao of Heaven and Earth without seeking to understand it, holds its own Dao but is powerless to analyze other great Daos, like a puppet of the Dao, therefore it has loopholes."

Chen Yindu laughed and said, "The divine and immortal paths that people cultivate in this world all have loopholes. As long as someone can seize their loopholes, they can control them, right?"

The rag doll said, "That's true. The power of the gods comes from the faith of the common people. By controlling the common people and influencing their faith, one can control the gods. The cultivation of immortals comes from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. By controlling the sources of spiritual energy, such as immortal mountains, blessed lands, and holy lands, one can control the immortals. This is how the Heavenly Court controls the gods, and this is how the major holy lands control the immortals. There is evidence to support this."

Chen Yindu said, "Since that's the case, rather than them cultivating the divine path and being controlled by others, it would be better if they cultivated the Yuanfu and were controlled by Xiao Shi. Xiao Shi is much more moral than the others."

The rag doll was speechless, but somehow it felt that what he said made a lot of sense.

"But Xiao Shi is in an absolutely demonic state, and no one knows what he might do."

Chen Yindu also expressed some concern, saying, "Judging from this performance, Xiao Shi's demonic nature has been greatly reduced, and he is not as ruthless as before."

The rag doll blinked.

"Back then, he created the demonic art Xuan Yin Nine Heavens Technique, intending to use the characteristics of the Divine Descent Realm to corrupt the True Gods from beyond the heavens, demonize them, turn the entire Xiniu New Continent into a demonic realm, and turn everyone into evil spirits."

Chen Yin sighed: "He was only nine years old that year."

The rag doll was startled, thinking to itself, "Xiao Shi is indeed twice my size, and the bad things he does are far more terrifying than mine."

Chen Yindu said, "Now that he's spreading the Yuanfu, he only wants to control all cultivators. Isn't he much more benevolent than before?"

He was quite pleased: "Little Shi still has some humanity left!"

The rag doll looked doubtful and disagreed with the old man's judgment.

Chen Yindu said, "Rather than the world being controlled by the Immortal Emperor Supreme or the Jade Emperor Great Heavenly Venerable, it would be better to let Little Ten control it. If Little Ten controls the world, at least it won't cause a war between immortals and gods to satisfy his own selfish desires."

The rag doll said, "But the difficulty lies in the fact that he is absolutely demonic. Those who follow him prosper, and those who oppose him perish. I fear that he can decide a person's life or death with a single thought."

Chen Yin pondered, "Xiao Shi's danger lies in this. Otherwise, I would really like to let him pass on the flawed Yuan Talisman. He fell into demonic possession back then and harbored evil thoughts of destroying the world. I'm afraid that evil thoughts still exist today. However, his mastery of Yuan Talismans was already no weaker than yours or mine. Now, with his study of the divine Dao patterns of Gouchen and Ziwei, plus the immortal Dao patterns of those Great Luo Golden Immortals in the Dao Ruins, his mastery of Yuan Talismans is above yours and mine."

He paced back and forth, saying, "Breaking his Yuanfu is not easy; only by joining forces can we accomplish it."

The rag doll jumped off his shoulder and walked around with him, saying, "His cultivation is also stronger than yours and mine. He is now only half a step away from becoming a Taiyi Golden Immortal."

Chen Yin stopped and pondered for a moment before saying, "With wars breaking out in various places these days, star gates and star paths are often cut off, making it difficult to travel to Jin'ao Island by star raft. Even if I travel at full speed from the Celestial Court to Penglai West, it will still take me six months to reach Jin'ao Island. If I were to descend through the Linshe, I would also find it difficult to unleash my full strength."

The rag doll floated in the air, looking at his face, and said, "You want to leave the Celestial Court, but Qianlong will definitely not let you leave. Besides, there are still Sha Qiutong, Du Yiran and others in the Celestial Court. They are nominally officials of the Celestial Court, but in reality they are hostages."

Chen Yin pondered for a moment and said, "I will first try to unravel the loophole in your Yuanfu. After you recover, I will descend upon you, and you and I, father and son, will join forces to deal with Xiao Shi and prevent him from doing evil."

The rag doll perked up and laughed, "Father, it's been so long since we joined forces to fight a powerful enemy. The last time we teamed up was when we faced the Celestial Venerable on the moon!"

Chen Yin said calmly, "Xiao Wu, have you forgotten that you have amnesia? You shouldn't remember such things."

The doll's heart tightened, and it quickly explained, "Dad, lately I've been able to vaguely recall some things from the past, but I still can't remember everything."

Chen Yin hummed in agreement, not pursuing the matter further, and said, "It's good that you have amnesia, at least you won't become that indiscriminate cannibalistic creation, Xiao Wu, back then."

The rag doll obediently agreed, thinking to itself, "After defeating Xiao Shi and restoring him to normal, I will thoroughly study the ability to leave loopholes in the Yuanfu, and then spread it to control the people of the world..."

As Chen Yin examined the Yuan Talismans on its body and memorized their structure, he said, "Since your temporary body remains with Xiao Shi, you can record the Yuan Talismans he created by deciphering other people's Daoist techniques, and then tell me. This way, it will be much easier for me to crack the loopholes in his Yuan Talismans..."

He had just finished speaking when the doll's expression suddenly changed drastically, and it exclaimed, "Father, Xiao Shi is summoning my body in reverse!"

The space around them suddenly trembled violently, the celestial palace spun and twisted, as if a mighty force came from another dimension!
Along with this distorted Dao power came decadent music, as if the heretical high priests of the underground Green Palace had been resurrected, standing in the darkness, chanting incantations of the Dark Sea, causing the Dark Sea to surge with turbulent waves.

"Little Ten!"

Chen Yindu's expression changed slightly, and he reached out to grab the rag doll, but the next moment the distorted and vibrating space wrapped the rag doll inward and collapsed, disappearing with a whoosh!
Chen Yin missed his target and frowned slightly.

"Xiao Shi, you've really become powerful after you turned into a demon. You were even able to kidnap Xiao Wu right in front of me."

He remained calm and composed, taking his seat with ease. He closed his eyes and focused intently on recalling every detail of the primordial symbols that constituted the body of the Creator Xiao Wu.

The more setbacks he faced, the more composed he became—a skill honed over ten years of rescuing Chen Shi.

"Without Xiao Wu, I really don't feel used to it."

He casually flipped through his hands, and a wooden box appeared beside him. Inside the box was a brain, floating in the air, neither above nor below the surface. It was the brain of the God of Heaven that he and Chen Shi had awakened when they completed the Heavenly Dao of the Dark Sea in the underground Green Palace.

He took the head away to study it carefully and explore the mysteries of the Dark Sea. He never destroyed it, but instead refined it into the Heavenly Dao Intelligence Brain to enhance his own wisdom.

The Heavenly Path Intelligence has lost all thought and consciousness, but its mental power is the strongest, far surpassing that of the Creator Xiao Wu.

However, since it connects to the Heavenly Dao's intelligent brain and relies on its wisdom, it is easily controlled by the Dark Sea Heavenly Dao. Therefore, Chen Yin rarely uses this item.

If Chen Shi hadn't fallen into demonic possession, he wouldn't have used the Heavenly Dao AI.

Chen Yin spread his thoughts and consciousness into the Heavenly Dao Brain. The various neural signals of that brain were immediately activated, and the various Dark Sea Heavenly Dao and ancient wisdom in his mind were activated one after another!
Chen Yindu's wisdom and vision suddenly surged, making him seem like a god who controlled the Dark Sea Heaven Dao!

His mastery of Yuanfu was similar to that of Chen Shixiang. Both grandfather and grandson were highly talented individuals. He had already memorized the structure of Yuanfu, making it much easier for him to decipher Chen Shixiang's Yuanfu.

However, when Chen Shi created this talisman, he maintained absolute divinity while also consuming the elixir of Fuluo Village. Even he couldn't immediately discern where the flaw was hidden.

Chen Yin studied it carefully, and it wasn't until half a month later that he found the flaw in this Yuan Talisman.

"Xiao Shi, your skill level has actually reached this point, it's amazing."

Chen Yin manifested the Yuan Talisman with his own true essence. The Yuan Talisman floated in the air, more than a meter tall, and all sorts of details inside emerged, constantly changing.

He examined the Yuanfu and showed a look of satisfaction: "People say that grandparents love their grandchildren more, but if A-Tang were as smart as you, I would naturally like A-Tang too. The key is that A-Tang is not as smart as you."

He created the talisman of Creator Xiao Wu, and later improved it many times. When he created the original talisman, he let Creator Xiao Wu modify its own original talisman.

Since the last trip to the Underground Azure Palace, when the Yuan Talisman was 80% complete, Creator Xiao Wu had not made any further modifications. The Yuan Talisman that Chen Shi helped Creator Xiao Wu improve was significantly different from the previous one, and the Daoist techniques it contained were difficult to fathom. If Chen Yin hadn't used the Heavenly Dao Intelligence Brain, he would have struggled to find its flaws.

He put away the Heavenly Dao AI: "Now, we can prepare for the next dwelling."

He came to a door, opened it, and found himself in a celestial palace in the ancient Nine Netherworld, millions of miles away.

The master of this celestial palace is a fairy named Sha Qiutong, who has achieved considerable success in studying the Daoist arts related to the soul and spirit within the celestial court.

Sensing his arrival, Sha Qiutong immediately came to see him. Chen Yin explained his purpose, saying, "Xiao Shi has lost control. I need your help so that I can be relocated to Penglai West."

Sha Qiutong was taken aback: "Xiao Shi lost control? Can things still go out of control these days?"

Chen Yin said, "This is my fault. I made him try absolute divinity. When he found Xiao Wu this time and experienced absolute divinity, without the suppression of humanity, his demonic nature erupted."

Sha Qiutong hesitated and said, "My Taoist magic can allow you to temporarily reside in Penglai West, but without someone's cooperation, the distance is too great, and forcibly residing there could easily turn into possession. If you're not in a hurry, why not go find Old Du?"

Chen Yin thought for a moment and said, "It shouldn't be a rush. Alright, let Old Du take me there."

Sha Qiutong said excitedly, "I'll go with you! Old Chen, how many days do you think it will take to resolve Xiao Shi's demonization?"

Chen Yin said, "With Old Du's abilities, it will take about three days to get us to Penglai West and three days to get back. We'll have four days in between, one day to deal with Xiao Shi, and the other three days to travel around Penglai West and see this first holy land."

Sha Qiutong walked out and said to the fairies who served her in the palace, "I will be in seclusion for ten days. Do not disturb me."

The fairies in the palace were all from the Celestial Master's Mansion, responsible for monitoring her movements, and they agreed upon hearing this.

Sha Qiutong entered the palace and sealed the gates.

Chen Yindu opened the door, and they were already inside the Zaofu Palace. The Zaofu Palace was the very celestial palace where Du Yiran resided. Du Yiran was startled to see the two of them. Upon hearing Chen Yindu's explanation, her expression turned grave. She said, "Little Ten has become a demon; only Old Chen can subdue him. I'll escort you there!"

He also announced that he would be in seclusion for ten days, and sealed the palace gates to prevent outsiders from entering.

Du Yiran possessed unparalleled spatial abilities, having already reached their pinnacle back in Xiniu New Continent. After arriving in the Celestial Court, she further perfected this skill, enabling her to travel the world with a single door.

However, Penglai West was too remote, and his cultivation was insufficient, so he could only lead the two of them, Chen Yin and Sha Qiutong, opening and closing the door again and again, advancing towards Penglai West.

When his cultivation was almost completely depleted, he would need to stop and rest.

After traveling for three days, the three finally arrived at Penglai West.

"The plan is to first open a door to Biyou Palace, enter Biyou Palace, find Xiao Wu, and help him fix the loophole in the Yuanfu."

Chen Yindu said in a deep voice, "Then the four of us lay in ambush, waiting for Xiao Shi to fall into the trap, and then captured him immediately. I sealed his sea of ​​consciousness, so that he could not have any thoughts. Qiu Tong, you cast his soul and primordial spirit into the underworld, so that he could not contact his physical body. Old Du then sealed the space, so that he could not summon the Dao Realm!"

Sha Qiutong and Du Yiran nodded to each other.

Sha Qiutong laughed and said, "It's been a long time since I've dealt with Xiao Shi. The first time I dealt with him was when he died for the second time. I almost killed us all."

“The current Xiao Shi is even more dangerous than before, and we cannot afford to lose him!” Chen Yin said with a serious expression.

The two said in unison, "We cannot afford to lose!"

Chen Yindu said, "Old Du, open the door and enter Biyou Palace!"

Du Yiran took a deep breath, reached out and pushed the door open. The door opened to reveal Biyou Palace on Jin'ao Island, its spiritual energy overwhelming!

The three of them entered their respective rooms and arrived at Biyou Palace.

This is a room in Biyou Palace, probably a study. There are still papers on the desk, which is probably where Chen Shi read and wrote. The paper has the words "In books, there are silkworms that spin cocoons to bind themselves" written on it.

Chen Yin glanced around, opened the door, looked around warily, and walked out.

Sha Qiutong and Du Yiran followed closely behind. Just as they stepped out of the room, Chen Yindu's expression suddenly changed: "Oh no! Old Du, open the door and get out of here!"

Before Du Yiran could even see her surroundings clearly, she immediately turned around and pushed open the door upon hearing this.

The door opened to reveal a study, not any other place.

Du Yiran broke out in a cold sweat. There was another person in the study, sitting behind the desk, writing with a pen, not even looking up, and said with a leisurely smile, "Grandpa, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Du Yiran hurriedly closed the door and shouted, "I'll take him somewhere else!"

The portal seemed to encounter immense resistance; even with Du Yiran's full effort, she couldn't close it!

Chen Yin shouted, "Break out of Biyou Palace!"

Sha Qiutong and Du Yiran immediately followed him and rushed forward. As soon as the three of them moved, Biyou Palace disappeared and was replaced by a majestic sky and an endless world!

The heavens were supported by an incomparably enormous Demon Blood Treasure Tree. The world contained all kinds of unorthodox practices, and was extremely profound. In particular, the Demon Blood Treasure Tree was like a peerless treasure. Even the magic weapons of the Great Luo Golden Immortals were rarely able to match it!
The three were utterly horrified. They saw Chen Shi standing beneath the Demon Blood Tree, dressed in a Taoist robe, shrouded in the aura of the Nine Netherworlds, a demonic figure, carrying the Heavenly Net Blood Transformation Divine Blade on his back, and bowing to the three from afar.

"Grandpa, Uncle Du, Aunt Qiutong, Xiao Shi greets you."

That Chen Shi was none other than the Daoist Chen Jiuyou. The moment he bowed, the power of the Demon Blood Tree erupted, suppressing everything in its path with unparalleled force!

"Little Ten, I taught you most of your underworld skills!"

Sha Qiutong, enraged, charged at Chen Jiuyou under the precious tree and shouted, "You dare to fight me one-on-one!"

"Shh-"

A leaf flew by and entangled her tightly, making her unable to move.

Du Yiran mustered her remaining strength, pointed a finger, and opened a portal, filled with grief and indignation: "Old Chen, you go first, don't worry about us! Little Shi, I'll fight you to the death!"

He flashed and appeared behind Chen Jiuyou in the next moment, intending to stab Chen Jiuyou with his gun.

Before the gun was even fired, soft branches wrapped around him, suspending him in mid-air.

Without hesitation, Chen Yin rushed through the door that Du Yiran had opened.

In a flash, he had left Chen Shi's demonic realm in the well and returned to the study in Biyou Palace.

Before he could even stand still, he saw Chen Shi holding a pen and making a stroke that was seemingly clumsy yet skillful. Although he used the pen as a weapon, countless strange phenomena rushed towards him as the pen tip moved.

In this small study, Chen Yin dodged and weaved, using each move to counter Chen Shi's techniques and supernatural abilities.

The grandfather and grandson moved swiftly, their moves seemingly powerless, yet fraught with hidden danger. In a short time, they exchanged over three hundred moves. Chen Yin secretly felt something was amiss, realizing that his mental energy was depleted and his ability to react and respond was far inferior to before.

The next moment, Chen Shi touched his brow with a brush.

Chen Yin let out a muffled groan and fell backward, sitting on the grand chair behind him. His cultivation was completely suppressed, and he could not move.

"It's over!" Chen Yin felt a chill run through him.
