On the Avenue.

Chapter 763: Extremely Conscientious
Ancient beings from the Western Paradise, such as Dipankara Buddha, Maitreya Buddha, and Guanyin Bodhisattva, also had spies on Jin'ao Island. At this moment, they also obtained the Yuanfu and witnessed its mysteries, each praising it.

"As expected of the structure closest to the Dao, obtaining the Yuan Talisman grants access to the supreme Dharma. Even a Great Luo Golden Immortal can advance further and enter the Great Luo Mystic Realm, which only the Three Pure Ones and the two Buddhas can reach. The Celestial Court is offering the Yuan Talisman to tempt the Western Paradise and the Three Pure Ones Realm; who could resist? It's a pity that Master Chen was the first to pass on the Yuan Talisman."

Dipankara Buddha said to Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva, "The Yuanfu transmitted by Master Chen is even more exquisite than that taught by the Celestial Court. Who is the true successor? This Master Chen should be destined to be with my Western Paradise, and perhaps he can be accepted into the Buddhist order."

The Bodhisattva Mahasthamaprapta said, “I have a past relationship with Master Chen, so perhaps I can go and persuade him to convert to Buddhism.”

Dipankara Buddha said, “Don’t rush. He has ruined the Celestial Court’s plans, and I’m afraid the Celestial Emperor will not let him go. Moreover, the Jade Emperor, the Great Heavenly Venerable, will not tolerate him either. If he dies at the hands of these two, then all will be in vain. If he does not die, he will be frightened and may be able to join my Buddhist sect.”

On the other side, the Antarctic Immortal of the Jade Purity Realm and the Grand Master Xuandu of the Supreme Purity Realm also received the Yuan Talismans and were deeply moved.

"Although Ancestor Qianlong was the creator of the Yuanfu, he was far from elevating it to this level. Master Chen is a genius of unparalleled talent, spreading his teachings throughout the world, and he will surely become the Dao Ancestor of the new Immortal Path. It's just a pity."

"It's a pity that such a talented person was killed by heaven."

“Ziya, it seems that Master Chen has abolished your Investiture of the Gods and God-Slaying Whip.”

……

Many deities in the Heavenly Court also received the Yuanfu (a type of magical talisman) transmitted by Chen Shi, some rejoicing and some grieving.

Before Emperor Ziwei had even left Tian Shi Yuan, he received the Yuan Talisman from his spy on Jin'ao Island. He said to Emperor Gouchen, "I didn't expect Master Chen to have such amazing courage, actually passing on the Yuan Talisman. Little brother, you also received the Yuan Talisman from your spy, right? What do you think?"

Emperor Gouchen groaned, "I had no spies on Jin'ao Island."

The Ziwei Emperor asked in surprise, "Among the Three Officials, Four Emperors, Five Elders, Eight Departments, and Nine Emperors, are you the only one who didn't plant spies in Li Tianwang's Heavenly Army camp? If you didn't plant spies, how would you know about the Heavenly Court's every move?"

The 200,000 disciples of Jin'ao Island all came from Li Tianwang's Heavenly Army Camp. In the past, ancient beings such as the Three Officials and Four Emperors liked to plant spies in them, firstly because they had to be wary of the Great Heavenly Venerable, and secondly because it was too easy to plant spies.

Therefore, the Ziwei Emperor also planted several spies. When Chen Shi took away 200,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, these spies also followed him to Jin'ao Island.

Emperor Gouchen said dejectedly, "I didn't plant any spies; on the contrary, the Great Heavenly Venerable planted spies all over my Heavenly Market Enclosure."

The Ziwei Emperor felt quite sympathetic and said, "The one most at a disadvantage this time, due to Master Chen's preaching, is probably the Great Heavenly Venerable. The Great Heavenly Venerable was the rightful ruler of all gods, but now that the Yuanfu has been issued, the immortals and gods are no longer as clearly separated as before. I'm afraid many gods in the Great Heavenly Venerable's Heavenly Court may not be willing to continue on the path of gods, and may even leave the Heavenly Court to cultivate the path of immortals. His position is in grave danger."

Emperor Gouchen said, "The most crucial thing is that immortals can also walk the divine path. When immortals walk the divine path, they will descend to the mortal realm to collect faith. They can often refine an entire realm into their own Dao realm, making it easy for all the mortals in the world to worship them. The incense offerings of the Great Heavenly Venerable will surely decrease rapidly."

The two exchanged a glance and said in unison, "The Great Celestial Venerable will certainly not tolerate Master Chen!"

The Ziwei Emperor hesitated for a moment, then said, "Master Chen passed on the Yuanfu to me, and I must repay him. If the Great Heavenly Venerable makes a move this time, I will definitely stop him."

Emperor Gouchen laughed and said, "Brother, you live up to your reputation for benevolence and righteousness. How could I forget your kindness? I will certainly help you!"

The Ziwei Emperor asked, "I just don't know what level of strength the Great Celestial Venerable has reached?"

Emperor Gouchen looked worried.

The Jade Emperor has many titles, including Huangtian, Haotian Shangdi, Laotianye, Tian, ​​Yuhuang Dadi, Shezui Datianzun, Shangdi, and Yuhuang Daojun. Each title has countless believers.

His incense offerings far surpassed those of the Four Emperors. Even the Earth Goddess Houtu in the Heaven and Earth system was far inferior.

If the Three Pure Ones had not divided his divine power, his divine power would probably have been even stronger.

If he were to make a move, neither Ziwei nor Gouchen would be confident of resisting.

The two of them had received the Yuanfu teachings from Chen Shi more than a month ago. They had already transformed their divine Dao patterns into Yuanfu, greatly increasing their strength. However, the thought of facing the Great Celestial Venerable made them somewhat apprehensive.

"Fortunately, among the Four Emperors, there is Houtu, Doumu, Leizu, and the Plague Emperor."

The Great Emperor Ziwei said, "If the Great Celestial Venerable wants to get rid of Master Chen, he will definitely be obstructed. Besides them, there will certainly be people in the Celestial Court, the Three Pure Realms, and the Western Heaven who are willing to trip up the Great Celestial Venerable."

Emperor Gouchen said, "At this moment, the Jade Emperor probably already knows about Master Chen's transmission of the Yuan Talisman. Master Chen has not transmitted many Yuan Talismans yet, so if he takes action to kill Master Chen now, he can minimize the losses."

The two exchanged a glance and each channeled their magical power in preparation for any unforeseen circumstances.

Jin'ao Island, Biyou Palace.

Chen Shi sat motionless, when suddenly he felt something and looked at the axe enshrined in Biyou Palace.

The axe blade alone was taller than a person, and the handle was also longer than a person. The demon face on the axe blade had opened its eyes at some point, and its eyeballs were rolling around.

At this moment, Chen Yindu, Du Yiran, and the others also sensed the unsettling tremor emanating from the axe. Their expressions turned solemn, and they all stood up.

Meanwhile, the Changchun Emperor and his entourage, who were constructing their blessed land in the distance, also stopped what they were doing and looked towards Biyou Palace on Jin'ao Island. Without saying a word, they each transformed into a streak of light and descended from the sky, arriving outside Biyou Palace and quickly entering.

Little Duan Fairy was already guarding Chen Shi's side, staring at the axe, a strong sense of unease rising in her heart.

"Find a godmother!" Chen Yin whispered.

Fairy Xiao Duan suddenly realized what was happening and immediately lit a stick of incense to contact the Earth Goddess Houtu.

That was a magical artifact symbolizing the authority of the Jade Emperor, and at this moment it inexplicably emitted a chilling aura, giving everyone present the feeling that an axe could fly up at any moment and take their lives!

No one was confident they could withstand this blow. Even a Great Immortal like Yangshuo Shanren, who had survived several tribulations, dared not say he could live after taking the blow from the axe!

That is the supreme divine path!

It’s heaven!

The wrath of Heaven has brought down divine punishment, divine retribution!
Who can resist?

Chen Shi's spirit continued to preach, showing no alarm. Chen Shi then rose and walked toward the enshrined axe and halberd.

Fairy Xiao Duan hurriedly raised her hand to stop him, and whispered, "Husband..."

"It doesn't matter."

Chen Shi pushed her hand away and went straight to the axe. Fairy Xiao Duan was very anxious and activated the incense to contact the Earth Goddess Houtu. As the incense smoke curled, the face of the Earth Goddess Houtu appeared, her gaze fixed on the axe, indicating to Fairy Xiao Duan that there was no need to say anything more.

The axe-wielding demon's eyes were looking down at Chen Shi.

Chen Shi took some incense, lit it, bowed to the axe, and placed the incense stick in the incense burner in front of the axe.

Three incense sticks suddenly jumped out of the incense burner and landed on the offering table.

Chen Shi bent down to pick up the incense sticks, his neck stretched out, exposed to the axe.

Everyone broke out in a cold sweat.

The axe remained motionless, only the demon's eyes continued to look down, staring intently at him.

An invisible pressure emanated from the axe, pressing down on Chen Shi, as if the Great Celestial Venerable was high above, hiding behind the ghost mask, looking down on him.

Chen Shi seemed oblivious, picking up the incense sticks and inserting them back into the incense burner.

"Shhhhh!"

Three incense sticks jumped out of the incense burner.

Chen Shi lowered his head, picked up the incense sticks one by one, and put them back into the incense burner.

When he lowered his head, his neck stretched out, completely unprepared.

Inside and outside Biyou Palace, countless eyes were fixed on this scene. Whether it was Chen Yindu, Fairy Xiaoduan, Emperor Changchun, or Lady Yuanjun, everyone was extremely tense.

Even the Earth Goddess Houtu, formed from the scent of incense offerings, couldn't help but feel nervous at this moment.

As Chen Shi picked up the incense, an axe hovered above his head, its ghostly eyes darting about, as if the Great Celestial Venerable were watching his neck from afar, searching for the perfect moment and posture to strike!
With the Great Celestial Venerable's strength, even with the many experts on Golden Turtle Island, could they really withstand this axe strike?
Twice now, Chen Shi offered incense to the axe and halberd, and the incense flames jumped out each time, indicating that the Great Celestial Venerable was very dissatisfied with Chen Shi.

Despite his dissatisfaction, he did not move the axe.

Chen Shi offered incense for the third time. The three sticks of incense were inserted firmly into the incense burner and did not jump out of the burner again.

Everyone was stunned and looked at the three incense sticks. The incense smoke rose up and drifted into the nostrils of the axe-wielding demon.

"I'm inhaling the fragrance!"

Everyone was extremely surprised that the axe, which symbolized the authority of the Great Celestial Venerable, had actually received incense!

Receiving incense signifies that the Jade Emperor's anger has subsided and he will no longer hold Chen Shi accountable for privately imparting the Yuanfu.

Chen Shi's transmission of the Yuanfu technique will inevitably attract countless people to worship him as their patriarch, ensuring a constant flow of offerings and greatly diminishing the incense offerings of the Jade Emperor, the Great Heavenly Venerable. It's even possible that many in the Heavenly Court will abandon the divine path and choose the immortal path, thus weakening the Great Heavenly Venerable's power and influence.

This is hatred so intense it could destroy a sacred place!
However, the Jade Emperor actually accepted Chen Shi's offerings!
Chen Shi pulled his neck back, his expression unchanged, showing no surprise or astonishment.

Just now, he stretched out his neck, which meant he was offering his neck to be cut off by the Great Celestial Venerable. Facing death without the slightest fear, such courage and boldness made Emperor Changchun and the others even more admiring.

"The Great Celestial Venerable's magnanimity and spirit are unmatched. If anyone could, it would be Master Chen." They all exclaimed in admiration. Chen Yin, however, felt a chill run down his spine. He gathered Sha Qiutong and Du Yiran together and whispered, "The reason he offered his neck for execution was because he knew the Great Celestial Venerable wouldn't kill him. He's even more terrifying now that he's mastered the Heavenly Dao Intelligence Brain!"

Du Yiran asked doubtfully, "How could he calculate that the Great Celestial Venerable wouldn't kill him? The Great Celestial Venerable's cultivation is so profound, how could he possibly predict his next move?"

Chen Yindu said, "He didn't deduce that the Great Celestial Venerable wouldn't kill him, but rather judged that the Great Celestial Venerable didn't want to become the target of public criticism, so he wouldn't kill him. His three times offering incense and three times stretching out his neck were provocations against the Great Celestial Venerable! It was as if he was saying, 'Come and chop me! Do you dare? Coward!'"

Sha Qiutong and Du Yiran exchanged a glance and shook their heads.

"Old Chen, you're overthinking it."

Sha Qiutong said, "This is clearly Master Chen apologizing to the Great Heavenly Venerable. The Great Heavenly Venerable refused twice, but on the third occasion, out of gratitude for Master Chen's merits, he finally accepted the incense. This act of yielding between the two is truly a beautiful story!"

Chen Yin sneered and walked straight to Chen Shi, whispering, "What a coward."

Chen Shi's eyes lit up, and he laughed, "Grandpa thinks so too? The Great Celestial Venerable used the axe as a medium to reveal his murderous intent, but he didn't dare to kill me three times and had to accept incense. He's really a coward!"

Sha Qiutong and Du Yiran looked ashen-faced.

This person has truly become possessed by evil!
Chen Shi laughed and said, "The Great Celestial Venerable wants to kill me but doesn't dare to, which is why I dared to offer incense under the axe, just to mock him."

The three gathered together again, and Du Yiran asked anxiously, "What should we do now?"

Chen Yindu's eyes flashed as he said, "There's only one way now."

In the Heavenly Court, at the Taiwei Yuqing Palace, the Jade Emperor summoned Li Tianwang and instructed him to go to the west of Penglai to bestow upon Chen Shi the title of Supreme Sage and Teacher, and Ancestor of the Transmission of the Dharma. Li Tianwang accepted the order and immediately set off.

After Li Tianwang left, the Jade Emperor rose and walked out of the palace, gazing into the distance with deep eyes.

"You think I am intolerant of others, and that I will execute Chen Shi in a fit of rage."

"You really underestimate me."

"The spread of the Yuanfu throughout the world will naturally weaken the Heavenly Court and my power. But the Yuanfu also allows me to break free from the divine path and escape the predicament of being controlled by the Three Pure Ones."

He said leisurely, "For this reason alone, I will not kill Chen Shi. Not only will I not kill him, but I will also bestow upon him the titles of Holy Teacher and Dao Ancestor, binding him and Jin'ao Island to the Heavenly Court. Back then, I joined forces with the Three Pure Ones to fight against the Great Shang and the Jie Sect. Now, why can't I join forces with the Holy Teacher and Jin'ao Island to fight against the Three Pure Ones Realm and the Celestial Court!"

He was full of vigor and confidence, with an air of having the world situation under his control.

However, the thought of Chen Shi stretching his neck out and reaching under the axe, looking as if to say "go ahead and chop me if you dare," even the Great Celestial Venerable, with his astonishing demeanor, couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.

"I really wish I could just chop you off and end it all! Chen Shi, your head will remain on your neck for now!"

Under the Jade Emperor, many celestial scholars are compiling the talismans transmitted from Jin'ao Island into a book.

The Great Celestial Venerable picked up one of the books and examined it carefully. After a long while, his brows furrowed more and more: "Has Chen Shi tampered with this Yuan Talisman?"

He couldn't tell.

There are many talented scholars, but none of them can tell whether Yuanfu has been tampered with.

"I am the God of the Great Dao, possessing unparalleled cultivation. As long as I thoroughly study Chen Shi's Yuan Talisman, I can create my own Yuan Talisman!"

The Jade Emperor said in a low voice, "Only in this way can we avoid being taken advantage of."

During this hundred-day transmission of the Dharma, more and more Yuanfu (a type of magical artifact) were leaked, but Chen Shi didn't care at all.

In recent days, he gradually felt the incense smoke flowing towards him, which transformed into extraordinary power as it reached him.

This is the way of cultivation in the divine path. Many immortals have received the Yuanfu inheritance and offer incense to him.

Chen Shi had never used extraordinary power to cultivate; instead, he used the Heavenly Dao AI to calculate the best cultivation method. Recently, he had become increasingly adept at using the AI, becoming extremely skilled in both deriving Yuanfu (primordial symbols) and improving cultivation techniques.

He had just activated the Heavenly Dao Intelligent Brain when suddenly a powerful, profound, yet obscure thought surged out from within it. Taking advantage of the instant he connected with the intelligent brain, it descended upon his sea of ​​consciousness, attempting to usurp his place!
"This is the opportunity I've been waiting for!"

Chen Yindu, along with Sha Qiutong and Du Yiran, rushed in from outside and ran towards Chen Shi, shouting, "There are still fragments of the Dark Sea Heavenly Dao God's thoughts inside the Heavenly Dao AI, which will erupt every once in a while! Take advantage of his being controlled by the Heavenly Dao God and rescue Xiao Wu!"

Just then, a violent fluctuation came from Chen Shi's sea of ​​consciousness. Chen Yin and the other two were shocked. In that short moment, Chen Shi actually suppressed the fragment of the Heavenly Dao God's thoughts!

At the same time, he even separated a part of his mind to connect with Creator Xiao Wu, attempting to control Creator Xiao Wu to attack the three of them!

He multitasked, controlling his hands and feet, using his magic to attack the three people; he was simply inhuman.

The instant that Creation Xiao Wu transformed from a puppet into a human, Chen Yindu's palm was already imprinted on Creation Xiao Wu's back, and the improved Yuan Talisman was immediately imprinted into Creation Xiao Wu's body!

The Creator Xiao Wu immediately broke free from Chen Shi's control, releasing Chen Shi's humanity from its own sea of ​​consciousness and rushing towards Chen Shi's sea of ​​consciousness!

Just as Chen Shi suppressed the fragments of the Heavenly Dao deity's thoughts in his sea of ​​consciousness, a surging torrent of humanity rushed in and poured into his sea of ​​consciousness.

Chen Shi was about to suppress these human beings when his body suddenly trembled slightly, and he stopped.

His attack on Chen Yindu, Sha Qiutong, and Du Yiran had severely injured them, sending them flying. Their auras were scattered, and they were powerless to fight back. Creation Xiao Wu flew sideways and stood in front of the three of them. Looking up, he saw that Chen Shi's body seemed to have become incredibly vast, as imposing as the blue sky, and he raised his hand to crush down!

This attack seemed to abandon supernatural powers and focus on the Dao as its essence, making it impossible to resist!
Creation Xiao Wu was filled with despair, knowing he was about to die at Chen Shi's hands, when Chen Shi's turbulent aura suddenly calmed down.

"Fifth Uncle, Grandpa, it's you."

Chen Shi stopped and laughed, "I thought someone was trying to ambush me, so I hit a little too hard."

The others, including Zaowu Xiaowu, were filled with doubt and surprise. Sha Qiutong whispered, "Has he returned to normal?"

Chen Yin pondered for a moment and said, "He's normal now. Even when he's normal, he's still deeply demonic, but his humanity suppresses his demonic nature. The current Xiao Shi is a safe Xiao Shi."

Chen Shi helped them up, feeling that these relatives were somewhat unfamiliar with him, and their gazes towards him were filled with a sense of awe. He smiled and said, "Grandpa, Aunt Qiutong, Uncle Du, I am still the same person I was before, I haven't changed."

Chen Yindu suddenly asked, "Little Ten, you have been passing on the Yuan Talisman and spreading it throughout the world. Is there any loophole in the Yuan Talisman?"

Chen Shi laughed and said, "If I want to be the Holy Teacher for all ages, I naturally won't hide any loopholes, otherwise it would ruin my reputation."

Chen Yindu then asked, "Is there a loophole hidden in the Yuanfu you passed on to Emperor Changchun and the others?"

Chen Shi shook his head and said, "If I want them to be loyal, how can I teach them flawed Yuanfu techniques?"

Chen Yin asked, "In the Yuanfu you passed on to the Earth Goddess Gouchen and the Ziwei Emperor, is there a hidden loophole for controlling them?"

Chen Shi categorically denied it, saying, "The Goddess Houtu is my godmother. I have been kind to Emperor Gouchen and Emperor Ziwei, so why would I need to hide loopholes in their talismans?"

Chen Yindu stared intently at him, but Chen Shi's expression remained unchanged. After a moment, Chen Yindu asked the Creator Little Five beside him, "Did he lie?"

Creation Five shook its head and said, "No."

Chen Yin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Grandpa was worried that you would do something reckless when you were possessed by demons. Since you didn't do it, I'm relieved."

Chen Shi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Grandpa, don't worry, even if I become a demon, I won't be completely devoid of conscience."

Chen Yin nodded slightly and smiled, "Your Uncle Hu is still in the Celestial Court. We must go back as soon as possible and rescue him."

Chen Shi was eager to try: "Grandpa, I'll go with you!"

Chen Yin shook his head and said, "You are now the sect leader and you are going to spread your teachings to the world. If you go to the Celestial Court, I'm afraid the Celestial Emperor will be hostile to you. Old Du, let's go!"

Du Yiran raised her hand and pushed the door open. The door opened to reveal another time and space on the other side.

Chen Yin put the Heavenly Dao Intelligent Brain into a wooden box, took Creation Little Five with him, and walked into the door with Sha Qiutong. He turned around and waved to Chen Shi.

Du Yiran entered the room and closed the door.

Sha Qiutong hurriedly asked, "Has Xiao Shi really regained his humanity?"

Chen Yin did not answer. He connected with the consciousness of Creation Xiao Wu on one hand and with the Heavenly Dao Intelligent Brain on the other, and used a Yuan Talisman to continuously calculate.

Du Yiran continued to open the door, and the four of them and their brain continued to travel.

Two days and one night passed in the blink of an eye. With the help of the AI ​​and the wisdom of Creation Xiao Wu, Chen Yin finally deciphered the Yuan Talisman.

"Old Chen, is there a loophole in the Yuanfu that allows you to control others?" Du Yiran hurriedly asked.

Chen Yin dispersed the talisman and shook his head, saying, "No. This talisman has no flaws whatsoever."

Du Yiran and Sha Qiutong both breathed a sigh of relief.

Sha Qiutong laughed and said, "Little Shi is indeed a little honest; he never lies."

As Xiao Wu opened his mouth to speak, Chen Yin glanced at him. Xiao Wu hesitated for a moment and remained silent.
