Chapter 651 Changes in the Dao Realm
"It is said to have been left by the Three Pure Ones?"

Chen Shi pondered, what was the purpose of the Azure Palace Map left behind by the Three Pure Ones? Was it to guide these masters to the Dark Sea to find the Azure Palace?
What is in the Green Palace?
Why did the Three Pure Ones do this?

Furthermore, could the dark Haiqing Palace painting drawn by Confucius also depict a picture left by the Three Pure Ones?
"Could it be that Master has also gone to the Azure Palace? Even Great Luo Golden Immortals like Niangpo Yuanjun and Changchun Emperor could not ascend to the Azure Palace. I wonder how far Master can go, and whether he can reach the Azure Palace?"

Chen Shi's thoughts raced. If the Master ascended to the top of the Green Palace, would he still be there?

He spent more than ten days adjusting the external and immortal paths within Niangpo Yuanjun's body to maintain balance. Niangpo Yuanjun, who was originally injured and had been listless and unable to get up, became much more energetic after his treatment, though she was still somewhat languid.

Chen Shi bid farewell to the Goddess Yuanjun and returned to his own Dao Realm. As soon as he entered, he was stunned. He saw auspicious clouds floating between mountains and seas, and rays of light wandering in the sky.

The Dao phenomena in his Dao realm, such as the Pure Wind, the Heavenly Secrets Strategy, the Path of Life and Death, and the Gate of Catastrophe, have become clearer and more real.

In addition, there are jade carriages and fragrant chariots traveling in the sky above the Dao Realm, and a jade palace with ever-burning lamps hanging in the sea of ​​clouds.

Beneath the Path of Life and Death, the Nine Netherworlds appeared; beneath the Gate of Calamity, dragons and horses galloped, their hooves making a crisp, clear sound. Hundreds of celestial horses frolicked and neighed, running from the ground into the sky, whistling past on the spiritual wind.

Chen Shi was taken aback. He leaped up, caught up with the leading dragon horse, and mounted it. The dragon horse neighed and struggled, but could not shake him off.

Chen Shi subdued the dragon horse, galloped away, caught up with the jade carriage in the air, tied the lead horse to the carriage, and then led the other five horses to tie them to the front of the carriage as well.

The dragon horse pulled the jade chariot, carrying him through the air as they surveyed this familiar yet unfamiliar realm of Dao.

A chilling suction force emanated from the sky. Chen Shi looked up and saw a huge wellhead that had appeared out of nowhere, seemingly extending into the depths of the starry sky, its depth unknown.

"This Eastern Well is the manifestation of my Great Dao!"

Chen Shi was surprised. The chilling suction in the well came from the starlight deep in the starry sky, and it even seemed to have the intent of a sword. When it landed on his skin, it gave him a cold touch.

"This celestial horse, the jade chariot, and the Nine Netherworlds are all phenomena formed by my Great Dao!"

Chen Shi's carriage passed under the East Well and soon arrived at the Jade Palace. Chen Shi stopped the carriage and walked into the palace. He saw that the palace seemed to be inhabited, with beds, tables, desks, stoves, curtains and other items all available.

There were even bedding that looked like clouds on the couch.

“I originally planned to build a palace in the Dao Realm, but now I don’t need to.”

Chen Shi inspected the area and was quite satisfied. Then he wondered, "Where did these Daoist phenomena come from? Could it be that my cultivation has improved?"

He didn't know much about the Dao Realm, so he let everything take its natural course and allowed the Dao Realm to evolve naturally. He didn't know if his own Dao Realm had improved, but his cultivation level had become much more profound.

He then went to the Demon Realm in the Well and examined it carefully. He found that many more Daoist phenomena had appeared in the Demon Realm in the Well, but they were manifested based on the Demonic Path. There was also a Jade Demon Palace in the well.

Chen Shi was surprised. He had just entered the True Immortal realm, and it hadn't been long. During this time, he hadn't even deliberately cultivated.

"Could it be because I helped Lady Yuanjun and Emperor Changchun refine the heretical path?"

Chen Shi pondered. Some of the heretical paths he had refined were incorporated into his cultivation, while others nourished his Dao realm. Many people, after becoming immortals, would spend centuries in seclusion, their cultivation progressing slowly. But how powerful were the cultivations of Niangpo Yuanjun and Changchun Dijun? Simply by helping them refine the heretical paths, the benefits Chen Shi received were greater than any elixir or miraculous medicine.

"If that's the case, then Xiniu New Continent has probably changed as well," he said in a low voice.

In Xiniu New Island, when people look up at the sky, auspicious clouds often drift by, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth becomes much more abundant. There are also Taoist phenomena such as celestial horses, jade palaces, seas of clouds, and ever-burning lamps, which amaze people.

Many highly skilled individuals chased after the Heavenly Horse Jade Carriage, attempting to subdue it. However, they were often utterly defeated and routed by the Heavenly Horse.

"Chen Zhenwang's cultivation has improved again!"

Master Zhang said to Chen Tang, "The Path of Life and Death connects the Nine Netherworlds and traverses Yin and Yang. When the Earth Goddess Houtu opens up the Yin and Yang realm, her magical power will be even greater than before. When the Emperor Emeritus stands on the Path of Life and Death, he can comprehend the Dao of Yin and Yang and grasp its true essence."

Chen Tang and he arrived at the Road of Life and Death together. There were already many cultivators there, meditating on Yin and Yang on the bridge, and there were people guarding the entrance and collecting tolls.

Chen Tang flew into a rage, grabbed the toll collector by the collar, lifted him up, and demanded, "How dare you! Who gave you permission to collect money here? Do you even know where you are?"

The person collecting the fees was not afraid and said, "Lord Hu from the Ministry of Revenue sent me here to collect fees! All the money collected here must be turned over to the national treasury!"

"Lord Hu of the Ministry of Revenue."

Upon hearing this, Chen Tang put him down and said to Master Zhang with embarrassment, "Lord Hu Feifei has tried every means to make money for the court."

After paying the money, the two arrived at the Road of Life and Death. They saw that the Road of Life and Death was yin on the left and yang on the right, like a natural chasm separating the two realms of yin and yang.

The newly formed Daoist image of the Nine Netherworlds resides in the underworld.

Standing on the path between life and death can indeed help one comprehend the mysteries of yin and yang, life and death.

After pondering for a long time, Chen Tang slowly said, "Master Zhang, my son's cultivation has improved again, hasn't it?"

Master Zhang said, "It's more than just progress! He's already at the second level of the Dao Realm. This speed of cultivation is as if he's divinely aided!"

Chen Tang nodded slightly: "I have recently cultivated an immortal body and begun to merge with the Dao. However, strangely, I cannot sense the Earthly Immortal Realm and cannot ascend. There are quite a few people like me in Xiniu New Continent. More than twenty newly promoted immortals also cannot sense the Earthly Immortal Realm and can only stay in the mortal world. This matter makes me somewhat uneasy."

Master Zhang laughed and said, "The Emperor Emeritus is living in bliss but doesn't know how blessed he is."

Chen Tang looked at him, puzzled.

Master Zhang said, "The Earthly Immortal Realm is overcrowded with too many immortals. Most of them are immortals who have ascended from other worlds. Rather than ascending to the Earthly Immortal Realm, it's better to stay in the mortal world. Why force yourself to suffer when there's no suffering to endure?"

Chen Tang was both amused and exasperated by his words, and said, "Master Zhang, that's the realm of immortals, not the mortal world. How could you possibly suffer there?"

Master Zhang sighed, “A celestial being like you should go to the Earthly Immortal Realm for two years of training. After you are sold to a black mine to work in, and suffer a fate worse than death, you will know the value of the human world.”

Chen Tang laughed and said, "When my son returns from the Immortal Realm, I will definitely make him take me there to see who can sell me out!"

Master Zhang shook his head.

Chen Shi left the Dao Realm and returned to Jin'ao Island. Senior Sister Jingmei had been waiting for him at the place where he had left for many days. When she saw him return, she was both surprised and delighted, and hurriedly called out, "Senior Brother Qiao, Senior Uncle Jiao, Junior Brother Jiang, Black Pot, come quickly! Junior Brother Chen is back!"

Before she finished speaking, Jiao the Cripple, Qiao Gu, and others appeared in front of Chen Shi.

Jiao the Cripple said, "Junior Brother Chen... ptooey!"

He spat twice and said, "Qiao Gu, you ask!"

Qiao Gu was also a little nervous and said, "Uncle Chen..."

His face flushed red, and Senior Sister Jingmei pushed him aside and laughed, "Let me ask. Junior Brother Chen, how did you get to know those two Great Luo Golden Immortals? And how did you get to know so many simple Taiyi Golden Immortals?" Chen Shi smiled and said, "They are my tenants in the Dao Realm. Since they don't pay rent or land rent, I asked them for a favor, and they were happy to help."

Everyone looked confused.

Tenants in the Dao Realm?

These people are far more powerful than Chen Shi, so why would they obediently be his tenants and do things for him?

"Mainly because King Li gave me the entire Daoxu, and I still have the land deeds there," Chen Shi explained.

Qiao Gu stammered, "Li Tianwang is... is he... in the Heavenly Court..."

He didn't utter a word for a long time, then continued, "If he gives you all the land deeds of Daoxu, does he have the power to do so?"

Everyone nodded.

Chen Shi said, "Li Tianwang has a very high status, second only to the Great Heavenly Venerable in the Heavenly Court."

"King Li? Heh heh." Everyone sneered.

Even the gourd dog next to him sneered twice.

Jiao the Cripple said, "The land deed of Daoxu can even make a Great Luo Golden Immortal recognize you as the landowner, which shows that the owner of this land deed is definitely not Li Tianwang. Your strength is not high and your cultivation is limited. You must be careful when someone gives you such a great benefit. The favor of a great person is not always a good thing."

Chen Shi nodded solemnly in agreement.

Qiao Gu said solemnly, "If you receive benefits, you must give something back. You can't take the benefits and not do any work. Otherwise, the big shot will get angry, and neither of us can bear it."

Chen Shi said, "I will definitely repay your kindness!"

Senior Sister Jingmei said, "Even if you don't want to repay kindness, you should still show an attitude of gratitude and not let important people down."

Chen Shi laughed and said, "Don't worry, I'll definitely be more clever."

He changed the subject and said, "Senior brothers, senior sisters, and senior uncles, I have a skill that can refine heretical paths. I cannot heal your injuries, but I may be able to help remove the heretical paths from your Dao realm."

Everyone was extremely excited, and Jiao the Cripple's voice was a little hoarse: "Is there really any hope of eliminating the heretics?"

Chen Shi hesitated for a moment, then said, "It took me nearly a month to heal Emperor Changchun and Lady Yuanjun. However, they are, after all, Great Luo Golden Immortals. You are much weaker than them, so it shouldn't take too long. At most, I can eliminate the heretics in your Dao realm within a month."

Everyone felt that his Dao heart was unstable and wished he would immediately use his methods.

At this moment, Jiao the Cripple said, "Let's clear Jiang Guo's Dao Realm first."

Qiao Gu and Senior Sister Jing Mei immediately realized what was going on and nodded in agreement: "Let's clear out Junior Brother Jiang first. Junior Brother Jiang hasn't been deeply corrupted by the heretical teachings yet. Let's help him clear them out first, and not let the heretical teachings damage his talent."

Chen Shi felt that although Jin'ao Island was a small sect, it had a lot of human warmth.

He came to Jiang Guo's Dao Realm and attempted to refine the heretical path.

With his current cultivation level and the support of the three Dao Realms, refining the external Dao within Jiang Guo's Dao Realm is not troublesome. He can clean it up in one or two days.

Just as Chen Shi was about to leave, he suddenly stopped, carefully sensing Jiang Guo's Dao realm, and frowned slightly.

Jiao the Cripple, Jing Mei, and the others had been following him. Upon seeing this, they quickly asked, "I sensed that although the heretical paths in the world have been cleared, there seems to be another heretical path that is gradually growing and cannot be eradicated. Perhaps in ten thousand years, another heretical path will emerge and corrupt Senior Brother Jiang's Dao realm."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Qiao Gu smiled and said, "It's already quite remarkable that we can ensure peace for ten thousand years."

Seeing that they were very optimistic, Chen Shi put the matter aside for the time being and went to Senior Sister Jingmei's Dao Realm.

Senior Sister Jingmei has a high level of cultivation; she has already reached the Golden Immortal Realm, the tenth level of the Dao Realm.

Her Dao Realm contains many Dao Images, but these Dao Images have also been corrupted by external paths, becoming distorted and ferocious.

As Chen Shi refined the Dao images, he observed them and a thought occurred to him: "On his way to the Azure Palace, Emperor Changchun's Dao laws went out of control and became compatible with external paths, which is somewhat similar to the Dao images in my senior sister's Dao realm being compatible with external paths. However, one is extremely fast and the other is extremely slow."

He blinked. If the two fusions were similar, wouldn't that mean there was a treasure or a person in the Azure Palace whose unorthodox cultivation was so profound that their aura could corrupt even a Great Luo Golden Immortal?
"Is the Azure Palace a treasure of the heretical sects or a powerful practitioner of the heretical path?" He became even more curious about the Azure Palace.

A month had passed by the time Chen Shi helped everyone on Jin'ao Island clear away the external Daoist influences, and the Daoist injuries that had been difficult to heal for a long time were finally beginning to heal.

They were overwhelmed with excitement, embracing and cheering, unable to contain themselves.

Especially Qiao Gu, who was a renowned talent back then. If it weren't for the fact that the place of Dao Integration was Penglai West, he would not have lost the battle with Yong Guike back then, and he would probably have broken through to become a Taiyi Golden Immortal long ago.

Now that the Dao wounds in his body have healed and the external Dao influences have been completely removed, he feels more relaxed than ever before. His cultivation is stirring, and he is eager to break through the Zhuluo Huangjia Heavenly Dao Realm and attempt to reach the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

Normally, Qiao Gu wouldn't dare attempt to break through to this realm, because Jin'ao Island lacked the funds to purchase elixirs and the necessary immortal spiritual energy. But now that the Jade Purity Spring has revived and the herbs in the medicine field are no longer barking wildly, he can certainly try to break through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm!

He immediately went into seclusion to cultivate himself.

After Senior Sister Jingmei's Dao injury healed, she actually advanced a Dao realm, cultivating to the Floating Heaven Dao Realm of the Yaoming Sect.

Even the gourd hounds have seen a significant increase in strength.

Even Jiao the Cripple, who had the strongest cultivation, only felt that the edge of the next Dao Realm was loosening, and it seemed that he could achieve it if he went into seclusion for a hundred years.

“Junior brother, you have several senior brothers, why not help them refine it as well?” Senior Sister Jingmei said.

Chen Shi agreed, and the two went to Senior Brother Yan Zhibei's Dao realm to help him refine his heretical cultivation. Chen Shi asked, "What is Senior Brother Yan doing outside?"

"Mining in the abyss."

Senior Sister Jingmei said, "Tianyuan is Shangqing's private property. It is very dangerous inside. Many mining immortals die there every year, but the wages are also high. Senior Brother Yan mines in Tianyuan. The reason why Jin'ao Island has been able to persist for so long is entirely due to the wages he earns from mining, which he then sends to Jin'ao Island."

After Chen Shi helped Yan Zhibei refine the external Dao realm, he then went to the Dao realm of Senior Brother Bai Jingming.

"Senior Brother Bai is researching heretical practices in Redwood Valley," Senior Sister Jingmei said.

Chen Shi's eyes lit up, and he praised, "Senior Brother Bai is studying heretical paths? What a brilliant idea! If we can crack the heretical paths, we can refine the heretical paths of Penglai West!"

Senior Sister Jingmei shook her head and said, "It wasn't him who did the research. He was the one being studied because he had become involved with heretical practices and had very distinctive characteristics. He earned quite a bit of money."
