Chen Shi set aside his pen and smiled, saying, "Grandfather, you’ve grown muddled in your old age, trying to stop me from spreading my teachings across the world. You should be proud that I am surpassing you. Fortunately, I anticipated your senility and your coming to hinder me, so I prepared beforehand. Rest assured, you are my grandfather, while you may be unrighteous, I cannot be unkind. I will not kill you or our uncles and aunts." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Chen Yindou snorted, displeased with his words, "How did you foresee I would come? And how did you know Sha Qiutong and Old Du would come too?"

He tried to summon his cultivation, but was restrained by the stroke of Chen Shi’s pen, unable to mobilize even a trace of power.

Yet he remained unperturbed, thinking to himself, "Little Ten has bound my Primordial Talisman, with my wisdom coupled with the Heavenly Dao Intelligent Brain, it won’t take long to unravel."

"I have my own heavenly calculations."

Chen Shi smiled faintly, saying, "Your every move is transparent to me. Grandfather, where is your Heavenly Dao Intelligent Brain?"

Upon hearing this, although Chen Yindou had always remained calm and composed, he found himself somewhat flustered.

"Since Grandfather doesn’t wish to hand it over, I will retrieve it myself."

Approaching him, Chen Shi’s fingertip emitted a green glow, transforming into green spirit butterflies that searched the surrounding void. Quickly, he reached into the void, pulling out a wooden box.

Chen Yindou’s face turned ashen, and he thought silently, "This time, it’s truly over... Strange, how did he know I possessed the Heavenly Dao Intelligent Brain? Could it be Little Five betrayed me?"

"No need to speculate, Grandfather, it was Fifth Uncle who told me."

Chen Shi said, "Fifth Uncle, come out."

Creation Little Five walked in from outside, apologetically saying, "Dad, I was controlled by him, unable to act freely..."

Chen Yindou’s lips moved slightly, and he sighed, saying, "I don’t blame you."

Chen Shi opened the box, raised his hand gently, and the Heavenly Dao Intelligent Brain floated out from the box.

The brain was shaped like a cerebrum, yet constructed from countless Primordial Talismans, with electric light coursing along the talisman’s pathways, resembling the signals from neurons birthed within the mind.

Chen Shi released a thread of thought, presenting a question on converting an Immortal Dao Dao Pattern into a talisman to the Heavenly Dao Intelligent Brain. Instantly, the brain’s electrical light intensified, completing a circuit and delivering the answer he sought.

"Grandfather, you’re not honest. You said you’d destroy this brain, yet you kept the Heavenly Dao Brain, even refining it into a magical treasure." Chen Shi glanced at him.

Chen Yindou snorted, "I did destroy that brain, but not completely."

"Now it belongs to me."

Chen Shi’s consciousness connected with the Heavenly Dao Intelligent Brain, his thinking becoming incredibly agile, faster than when connected to Creation Little Five’s brain!

Especially since the Heavenly Dao Intelligent Brain contains the Dark Sea Heavenly Dao, swiftly accessing a wealth of dao knowledge!

Chen Shi was quite pleased, saying, "Grandfather, you’ve worked hard coming here to deliver this treasure. It came at the perfect time; recently, I’ve been comprehending the Immortal Dao Dao Patterns of Chang Chun Emperor and others, achieving some success, yet converting their dao patterns into talismans requires time. With this treasure, it will proceed much more smoothly."

He calculated a bit, smiling, "In just three days, I will be able to convert the dao patterns of Chang Chun, Niang Po, Yangshuo, Shantang, and other Daluo Golden Immortals into talismans. After three days, they will be mine to command."

Chen Yindou sneered, "Little Ten, controlling others with flawed talismans is not the righteous path."

Chen Shi pondered, "Does Grandfather truly believe that?"

Chen Yindou hesitated, then shook his head, "No. These Daluo Golden Immortals practice an Immortal Dao inherently flawed, even without refining talismans, controlling them is merely somewhat troublesome. Besides, you understand neutralizing the Outer Dao, they were meant for your control."

Chen Shi beamed, "That’s my grandfather. Fifth Uncle, take Grandfather to rest."

Creation Little Five responded, helping Chen Yindou as the father and son exited the study.

Chen Yindou transmitted, "Little Five, I have located your talisman’s flaw, and can help you break free from control..."

Chen Shi’s voice came from Creation Little Five’s mouth, "Grandfather doesn’t need to rush so eagerly."

Chen Yindou’s expression darkened, and he said no more.

Creation Little Five spoke, "Dad, his consciousness is still connected with mine. He might be wary that you set traps in the Heavenly Dao Intelligent Brain, and by linking my brain, he can transfer danger to me at any time. Dad, you didn’t set traps in the Heavenly Dao Intelligent Brain, right?"

Chen Yindou snorted, "Of course not. I concealed the refining of the Heavenly Dao Intelligent Brain from you, thinking you were unaware, naturally I wouldn’t lay traps. How did you find out about the Heavenly Dao Intelligent Brain?"

Creation Little Five sheepishly replied, "You mentioned destroying the Heavenly Dao Head, I noticed fluctuations in your thoughts and suspected something was amiss, so I secretly observed. I saw you secretly refining the Heavenly Dao Intelligent Brain... Were you planning to use it to replace me?"

Chen Yindou felt guilty, "No. I merely wanted to test the limits of the Heavenly Brain..."

"I don’t believe you!"

Chen Yindou spoke gently, "You are my son, closer than my own son Chen Tang, why would I consider replacing you?"

Only then did Creation Little Five relax.

During these three days, time seemed to drag endlessly for Chen Yindou.

Chen Shi didn’t restrict his movements, allowing him to even tour the Well Demon Realm, nor did he confine Sha Qiutong and Du Yiran, leaving them unrestricted. Yet the more things seemed this way, the more uneasy he felt.

No matter what he tried, he couldn’t undo Chen Shi’s constraints on the three of them.

While Creation Little Five remained under Chen Shi’s control, without a hint of release, preventing him from remedying the flaw in Creation Little Five’s talisman.

"There is only one solution now."

Sha Qiutong proposed, "Borrow power. Leverage the strength of those Daluo Golden Immortals within his dao realm to subdue Little Ten, preventing him from committing evil."
