On the Avenue.

Chapter 491 If There Is a Glimmer of Hope

All along, Tianzun allowed Chen Shi to revive the Chinese gods in order to lure out Hou Tu Niangniang and eliminate her along with the many Chinese gods.

This kind of thing had happened once before at Despair Hill, but that time, the Queen Mother of Earth saw the opportunity early and immediately made the gods retreat and disappear.

This time, Despair Hill had made all the preparations, but what they didn't expect was that many things happened at the same time, resulting in a situation where Tianzun was besieged by the enemy and our side, which resulted in him blinding one eye.

The culprit behind all this is Chen Shi!
If Chen Shi's skeleton had not been in Tianchi Kingdom to survive the tribulation, if Chen Shi had not worshipped Hou Tu Niangniang as his godmother, awakened the Chinese gods, and summoned Hou Tu Niangniang's incarnation, how could such a thing have happened?
Tianzun activated the Qiankun Rejuvenation Technique and used this technique to refine the vertical eye between the eyebrows.

The Qiankun Rejuvenation Art is a method of creation that can regenerate broken limbs and replant broken bones. It is very mysterious. However, refining the eye between the eyebrows is not difficult, but refining the eye between the eyebrows to the previous level requires decades of hard practice.

The vertical eye between his eyebrows had been refined to the point where it could cover a large world. It was a pity that it was broken now.

"Chen Shi, this should be the True King's backup plan."

He raised his head and looked towards the sky over the Hill of Despair. In those days, the True King had led all the civil and military officials to the Hill of Despair and asked to see him. They requested one thing from him, which was to hold a grand ceremony to revive the True God from outer space.

The True God from outer space must have known that his time was coming, so he transformed his essence into a congenital fetus and gave it to the True King. The True King was the True God's backup to prolong the life of this world.

But the true king was too anxious and rushed to find him without growing up.

The True King thought that Tianzun, as the master of Despair Hill, would understand his idea, but the True King never expected that Tianzun would take over the magpie's nest. Tianzun was not the one who guarded Despair Hill and maintained the order of the world. He was just waiting for the death of the True God from the sky so that he could assimilate this world.

Therefore, the true king died on the Hill of Despair.

But before his death, the True King still schemed against the Heavenly Lord and sacrificed his own soul to prolong the life of the True God from Heaven.

Six thousand years later, the True King's soul probably realized that it was about to run out of power, so it used the same method to send down the innate Tao fetus.

The person he chose was Chen Shi.

After Tianzun received the news, he immediately ordered the three Heavenly Dao Walkers to go down the mountain and bring the innate Dao fetus back to the Slope of Despair at all costs.

One of the Heavenly Daoists, Wei Luo, killed Chen Shi, cut off his innate Dao fetus, and transplanted it to his disciple Zhong Wuwang. After returning to Despair Hill, Tianzun did not blame Wei Luo, but felt that he had finally eliminated a future trouble.

"Who would have thought that this scholar could actually come back from the dead, and without a Dao fetus, he could actually cultivate to his current level, and survive the calamity with the old method of the body outside the body?"

Tianzun felt emotional and decided to use the old method to overcome the tribulation. When his soul and physical body both reached the level of immortals, he would be able to achieve the Tao.

He used evil energy to block the possibility of all cultivators in Xiniu New Continent to transcend tribulation and ascend to heaven, and suppressed everyone's realm to the Mahayana realm. Unexpectedly, it was now easily broken through by a young boy.

"Don't underestimate this talented boy...Feng Ruotong, that bastard!"

Tianzun thought of Feng Ruotong and the seven heavenly walkers, and couldn't help laughing in anger, almost crushing the Yin and Yang Qi bottles.

Above the Tianchi Kingdom, Feng Ruotong, the chief priest and others slowly descended, each of them on high alert, ready to deal with any attack that might be launched by the other side at any time.

The two sides have fought many battles and are enemies to the death. They dealt with Wu Yue just now just to save Chen Shi. Now that Wu Yue has disappeared, they are still enemies to the death.

"Brother Yin, since Fellow Daoist Chen has survived the heavenly tribulation, is it time for us to compete with him now?"

Feng Ruotong took a step forward and sneered, "If I kill you, the Demon Emperor will show up."

The chief priest had a strange look on his face, but his aura was not weakened at all. He laughed and said, "Feng Daoyou, you are not even my opponent, let alone the Divine Emperor? If the Divine Emperor takes action, you will be doomed!"

Chen Yindu and the others looked strange. Granny Sha couldn't help but ask, "Is the Demon King or God King they are talking about..."

Chen Yindu shook his head slightly, and Granny Sha didn't continue.

"Wu Yue is left with only a skin bag. What on earth is this thing?" came the voice of Creator Xiao Wu.

Chen Yindu said, "Put it away first and study it carefully."

Creator Xiaowu opened his mouth wide and swallowed the thing.

Now, the fog has gradually dissipated, and the gods who besieged the capital of Tianchi Kingdom have now turned into dead objects. Each of them was pulled by the chains and fell from the Wuliang Cliff. They are still hanging on the cliff, motionless.

Most of the clan leaders were injured and still in shock.

If the fog does not dissipate, I am afraid they will also die at the hands of these gods.

They dispersed the witch ritual patterns, but did not restore their normal bodies. Instead, they turned into human forms, which surprised everyone.

They walked towards the palace and met the tribesmen who were equally confused.

Their tribesmen also turned into human form and were somewhat at a loss.

"Follow me!" Lei Qu said loudly.

He was slightly startled. The words that came out of his mouth were actually human language, not gibberish.

People followed him and walked towards the palace.

Above their heads, a huge sun was hanging high in the sky, burning with blazing divine fire, illuminating the Tianchi Lake, and the sunshine was extremely bright.

They had never seen such a scene before and were a little confused for a moment.

Chen Yindu watched this scene and sighed in his heart: "Xiao Shi has not yet achieved the Dao, but he has already achieved such an achievement, which is much better than what I had in my youth."

Skeleton Chen Shi put away his knife and walked towards them. In the sky, immortal light and immortal energy continued to fall, flowing into his body, tempering his soul.

The yin and yang energies were entwined around him, mysterious and unpredictable.

The heavenly tribulation just now, especially the final devastating blow, brought him immense benefits, making his yin and yang energies stronger than before.

"Grandpa, the queen is back." The skeleton said honestly.

Chen Yin was shocked: "Is your godmother awake?"

Skeleton Chen Shi nodded.

Chen Yindu hurriedly called everyone over and said quickly: "Xiao Shi's godmother has revived, let's go back to Huangpo Village quickly!"

Granny Sha, Creator Xiaowu and others were surprised and happy, and hurried back to the world of the living.

Chen Shi's godmother is mysterious. A long time ago, Chen Yindu discovered that the stone tablet had an ancient origin and might be able to protect Chen Shi. However, no matter how Chen Shi burned incense, the stone tablet never responded until Chen Shi was blessed by the stone tablet and a small temple was formed behind his head.

Since then, Chen Shi's cultivation strength has improved by leaps and bounds.

The resurrection of Chen Shi’s godmother is definitely a big deal!
Skeleton Chen Shi came to Feng Ruotong and the chief priest, opened his chin and said, "There is no need for you two to fight. Fengxianren, I am the Demon King you have been looking for."

Feng Ruotong was stunned when he heard this, and said in a lost voice: "Fellow Daoist Chen, are you the Demon King?"

Skeleton Chen Shi nodded and said, "I am the Demon King. You can ask the High Priest."

Feng Ruotong looked at the chief priest, who nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "Chen Shi is the God Emperor of our Divine Capital."

Feng Ruotong sneered, "You are the chief priest of the Shang Dynasty. Would you willingly recognize a young boy as the Demon King? Brother Yin, what are you planning?"

The chief priest smiled and said, "Emperor Chen can resolve the evil, so it is only natural that we worship him as the emperor."

Feng Ruotong's face was gloomy and uncertain. Although he had doubts for a long time, he still found it difficult to accept that Chen Shi was the Demon King.

The purpose of his trip was to force out the Demon King and join forces with Tianzun to eliminate this powerful enemy. But Chen Shi was the Demon King, which made it difficult for him to do so.

"Chen Shi, you are not the Demon Emperor."

Feng Ruotong suddenly said, "I have never found the Demon King, nor have I ever met Brother Yin in Tianchi Country."

The high priest understood, bowed to the skeleton Chen Shi, and led the crowd away.

Feng Ruotong watched him go away, then turned to look at the skeleton Chen Shi, hesitated for a while, and said: "Fellow Daoist Chen, the day you achieve Daoism, perhaps Despair Hill will no longer need to exist."

Chen Shi was slightly startled and asked, "Why did Fengxianren say that?"

"Despair Hill was forced to maintain the existing order and the broken Heavenly Dao out of despair. Because of despair, it has to monitor the world, search for any unusual movements, and do its best to gather incense for the True God and prolong the life of the True God as much as possible."

Feng Ruotong called the seven Heavenly Daoists and said, "If there is a glimmer of hope, why would there be a Hill of Despair? Fellow Daoist Chen, I still have to hunt down the High Priest and search for clues about the Demon King. I'll say goodbye now!"

The skeleton Chen Shi said: "If the Fengxian meets Zhong Wuwang, he might as well talk to him."

Feng Ruotong nodded and led the crowd away.

Skeleton Chen Shi turned around and faced the leaders of the various ghost tribes who were approaching, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, now I can decipher the skills of your tribes for you."

The leaders of all the major ghost tribes are now in human form. Upon hearing this, they were all excited and took out the skills of each tribe and presented them to Chen Shi.

These skills are the cultivation methods of the Shang Dynasty, corresponding to various priests and professions in the Shang Dynasty court. Among them, there are many immortal methods that are not inferior to the Blood Lake Scripture!

Skeleton Chen Shi sat cross-legged and deciphered them one by one, explaining the wonders of the operation of these techniques.

In the world of the living, outside Huangpo Village at the foot of Qianyang Mountain.

Chen Yindu and others came to the loess slope and looked up. The loess slope seemed to have changed its appearance. The towering yellow sky stood tall, and willow trees connected to the dark clouds with their branches hanging down.

The temple was shrouded in brilliant divine light, and along with the curling aroma of incense, the chanting of the gods could be faintly heard, which was extremely sacred.

At this time, the loess slope is like the most sacred place on earth, inspiring awe.

Chen Yindu, Grandma Sha and others calmed themselves down, walked towards the yellow sky, and gradually came to the sacred tree.

"Fellow Taoists, please stop." Taoist Liu stopped everyone.

In the goddess temple, Chen Shi was chatting and laughing with the goddess. At this moment, he felt something and said with a smile: "Godmother, my grandfather is here."

The lotus seat was filled with divine light, and in the light sat a goddess with a beautiful face and a heavenly fragrance. She smiled and said, "Xiao Liu'er, please invite them in."

Taoist Liu then said, "Fellow Daoist Chen, the Queen Mother Hou Tu invites you in."

Creator Xiaowu passed by him with a strange look on his face: "Xiao Liu'er? No wonder you refused to tell us your real name, Xiao Liu'er."

Taoist Liu’s face flushed.
