Emperor Ziwei's eyes flickered, and he said, "Mr. Chen must have a reason for killing Daoist Beidi, right?"

"No."

Chen Shi confessed truthfully, saying, "My grandfather and I were coerced by Hidden Dragon and had no choice but to help him perfect the Primordial Talisman. Later, we were also forced to follow him to Fengdu to verify whether his Primordial Talisman could kill Daoist Beidi."

"Primordial Talisman?" 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Upon hearing this, both Emperor Ziwei and Emperor Gouchen felt a slight tremor in their hearts.

They had heard of the Primordial Talisman but didn't understand it deeply. Emperor Ziwei had once collected some Primordial Talismans from Daoist Beidi's corpse, but those Talismans were quite superficial, making them difficult to comprehend.

In the recent confrontation with the Immortal Court, the Three Pure Ones Realm, and the Western Heaven, they also discovered the use of Primordial Talismans in some powerful Immortal Buddha Divine Powers, which allowed the weak to overcome the strong, greatly shocking them.

"You and your grandfather helped Hidden Dragon perfect the Primordial Talisman?"

Emperor Gouchen said, "After perfecting the Talisman, how could Hidden Dragon let you leave alive?"

Chen Shi laughed and said, "The Primordial Talisman is only perfected by twenty or thirty percent. To reach the state of ultimate perfection, more people with great wisdom and mastery in the Outer Dao are needed to complete it. Hidden Dragon still needs me and my grandfather to continue helping him perfect the Talisman. As long as the Talisman is not perfected, we won't die."

These words were somewhat untruthful. Hidden Dragon Ancestor needed Chen Yindou and Creation Little Five, not Chen Shi, having once attempted to use someone else to get rid of Chen Shi, only failing.

However, there's no need to explain this to Gouchen and Ziwei.

Emperor Ziwei said, "The first assassination attempt on Daoist Beidi was by six Taiyi Golden Immortals, none of whom were particularly powerful, yet they broke Daoist Beidi's Daoist Skill..."

"Done by my grandfather."

Chen Shi once again confessed straightforwardly, saying, "Daoist Beidi's Divine Daoist Skill was completely broken by my grandfather. He formulated the assassination plan to verify whether the Primordial Talisman could dismantle the Divine Dao. In this assassination, after heavily injuring Daoist Beidi, Hidden Dragon used my grandfather's method to kill Daoist Beidi."

Gouchen and Ziwei exchanged a glance, each finding it hard to conceal their shock.

They calmed themselves, and Ziwei continued to inquire, "When Emperor Houtu was ambushed in Xuanhuang Sea, she killed two Daluo Golden Immortals and forced Guang Chengzi and a group of masters to retreat, demonstrating extraordinary power..."

"The Primordial Talisman of my foster mother was passed by me."

Chen Shi interrupted him and continued to confess, "After Daoist Beidi's death, I realized the next target of the Immortal Court would be my foster mother. So I immediately contacted her and taught her the Primordial Talisman, replacing a whole body of Divine Dao Pattern, leading to such a victory."

Emperor Gouchen's eyes sparkled, and he asked, "How do you know the Divine Dao of Emperor Houtu?"

Without knowing the Divine Dao of Emperor Houtu, one cannot impart the corresponding Primordial Talisman, a basic common sense.

Chen Shi said, "My foster mother once taught me her Xuanhuang Dao Pattern."

Emperor Gouchen hesitated. Emperor Houtu imparting her Xuanhuang Dao Pattern to Chen Shi could be considered as giving up her most crucial skill without reservation. Even to the most trusted person, the fundamental Magic Skill might not be passed on. Moreover, Chen Shi is merely her godson? And this godson was only acknowledged by her clone.

But despite this relationship, Emperor Houtu still passed it.

Furthermore, it was precisely relying on the Xuanhuang Dao Pattern taught by Houtu that Chen Shi saved her life.

However, Gouchen, reflecting on himself, felt he might not have Houtu's breadth of mind and boldness.

At this moment, Emperor Ziwei smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, if I pass on the Beiji Dao Pattern to you, can you teach me the corresponding Primordial Talisman?"

Emperor Gouchen's Dao Heart was greatly shaken, looking at him in disbelief.

Emperor Ziwei smiled and said, "Immortals have observed our divine bodies and Daoist Skills countless times. The Daoist Divine Powers have long been seen by others, learned by others, why be so stingy with them?"

"Brother, that's different!"

Emperor Gouchen argued, "What they observe is only superficial skill..."

"It's the same."

Emperor Ziwei smiled and said, "Otherwise, why would Daoist Beidi die at Hidden Dragon's hands?"

Emperor Gouchen was silent.

For a long time, there was an unwritten rule in the Heavenly Court that illustrious disciples among the Immortals could spend some wealth to observe powerful Divine figures closely, ponder the Great Dao represented by these Divine figures, and comprehend profound Daoist Skills.

If one's status was high enough and paid enough money, one could even observe the existences of the Four Imperial Lords.

In the meantime, the Daoist Skills of the Four Imperial Lords were likely long recorded by the Immortal Court and attempts made to decipher them.

Chen Shi said, "As long as I have Your Majesty's fundamental Divine Dao Pattern, give me a little time, and I will be able to transform the Dao Pattern into the corresponding Primordial Talisman."

Emperor Ziwei smiled and said, "If my Divine Dao is also replaced by Primordial Talisman, then am I a God or an Immortal?"

Chen Shi was slightly taken aback, as he hadn't considered this question.

Nearby, Emperor Gouchen was also stunned.

Even in the Dao Ruins, Chang Chun Emperor, Niang Po Primordial Monarch, and others were struck by loud echoes in their minds, like thunderclaps exploding in their brains.

The primary difference between Gods and Immortals is certainly the source of Mana. One relies on the extraordinary power transformed from the incense offerings of the common people to gather cultivation, while the other relies on personal cultivation and understanding of heaven and earth to elevate oneself.

Therefore, the Divine Dao must serve the masses, obtaining the incense of the people, while the Immortal Dao needs to be detached, transcending the world.

One cultivates the Divine Dao, the other the Immortal Dao, one has to cultivate merit, the other has to cultivate Dao Heart.

The Divine Dao and Immortal Dao, are distinct, becoming two completely different fields.

If the fundamental structure that forms the Divine Dao and the basic structure forming the Immortal Dao is the same structure, then what is the difference?

Does the line between the Divine and the Immortal suddenly become blurred?

Emperor Ziwei said, "If the Primordial Talisman is widely adopted, then there would no longer be Divine Dao and Immortal Dao, as they are just two different paths of cultivation, two different methods of practice, on the same journey. Divine and Immortal beings become the same kind. At that time, there would be no distinction between them."

Emperor Gouchen muttered, "Universal unity under heaven, there would be no need for bloody conflicts anymore. Is there still a need to fight over who is the legitimate authority, the Immortal Court or the Heavenly Court?"

"No, there would still be fights!"

Chen Shi resolutely said, "The Primordial Talisman was created by Hidden Dragon Ancestor; he created the first Primordial Talisman. With his intelligence, he could naturally foresee that once the Primordial Talisman appeared, there would be no distinction between Gods and Immortals. Knowing this, he still insists on supporting the Immortal Emperor Supreme in rebellion, signifying that the power struggle would not change because of the Primordial Talisman."

Emperor Ziwei gently nodded, saying, "When the Primordial Talisman is widely spread, Gods and Immortals will be identical, and the only difference is who sits on the throne of the Heavenly Court. If that person isn't me, why shouldn't I rebel?"

Emperor Gouchen said, "Even if they rebel, it can't change this world."

"But before, one couldn't sit on the throne; now, after rebelling, one can, why not?" Ziwei smiled.

Emperor Gouchen sighed.

Emperor Ziwei looked at Chen Shi and asked, "I have a total of seven Beiji Dao Patterns. If they are all passed to Mr. Chen, how long will it take for them to be transformed into Primordial Talismans?"

Without hesitation, Chen Shi said, "I must first see the Beiji Dao Patterns!"

"Good!"

Emperor Ziwei waved his hand, and from the sky descended pieces of Purple Qi, within which the dazzling Beiji Dao Patterns appeared one after another, representing the Divine Dao of Emperor Ziwei, this Daoist God!

There were a total of seven Dao Patterns, each containing extremely rich profound truths of the Great Dao.

These Dao Patterns possessed countless variations, forming the complex and mysterious Daoist Skills system of the Beiji lineage.

Chen Shi looked at them one by one, assessing the profound truths contained in these Dao Patterns, and after a moment said, "Two months!"

Emperor Ziwei laughed heartily and said, "Good! After two months, I shall come to hear your teachings!"

Emperor Gouchen hesitated for a moment, saying, "Mr. Chen, how long would my Gouchen Dao Patterns take?"

He also revealed the nine Gouchen Dao Patterns. Chen Shi observed them for a moment and said, "Also need two months!"

Emperor Gouchen smiled and said, "Good, in that case, in two months, we shall meet at Golden Turtle Island!"
