Chen Yindou frowned slightly and said, "The Daluo Golden Immortals and Little Ten are neither kin nor friends; they’re merely lodging in Dao Ruins. If they develop a murderous intent, we can’t stop them."

Du Yiran said, "Old Chen’s concern has clouded his judgment. The Daluo Golden Immortals are not unreasonable; Little Ten has mastered the Primordial Talisman, and they need it, so they won’t kill Little Ten because of this."

Chen Yindou hesitated for a moment and said, "We can’t accomplish this alone; we need someone to assist us."

Sha Qiutong’s eyes lit up, "Little Dun!"

Chen Yindou nodded gently.

Sha Qiutong said, "I’ll go find her!"

Not long after, she found Little Dun Fairy. Little Dun Fairy was calm, unchanged from before, and greeted the old man warmly.

"Little Ten is now trapped in the Demon Path, controlled by Demonic Nature. We are helpless, captured and suppressed by him."

Chen Yindou said, "Granddaughter-in-law, only you can help now to prevent him from bringing disaster to the world. Otherwise, if he spreads the flawed Primordial Talisman, the fate of everyone will be at his whim!"

Little Dun Fairy breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Grandfather, I’ve noticed something strange about my husband lately. However, he’s still my husband; I’m not sure what to do."

Chen Yindou said, "He now possesses many skills. If you attempt to suppress him, you’ll likely fail. You must rely on the power of the Daluo Golden Immortals in Dao Ruins to succeed. We’ll create an opportunity; as soon as we meet those Daluo Golden Immortals, you’ll hold off Little Ten, and we’ll reveal his true nature to them."

Little Dun Fairy agreed.

Three days later, Chen Yindou was invited to Dao Ruins to observe the ceremony.

Chen Shi gathered the Daluo Golden Immortals in Dao Ruins and shared his understanding of the Primordial Talisman with them. Even though Chang Chun Emperor, Niang Po Primordial Monarch, and others were Daluo Golden Immortals, they couldn’t discern any issues with the Primordial Talisman.

Chen Yindou couldn’t find any flaw in the Primordial Talisman Chen Shi shared either.

Sha Qiutong and Du Yiran repeatedly signaled Little Dun Fairy to expose Chen Shi’s true nature, but before they could speak, Little Dun Fairy suppressed them.

"Why is the granddaughter-in-law doing this?" Chen Yindou asked, puzzled.

Little Dun Fairy apologized, "Although my husband fell into the demon, the Demonic Nature was always in his heart and never refined away. He is still himself, just not fully complete. How can I collaborate with outsiders against him?"

Sha Qiutong said angrily, "He wants to control the life and death of people everywhere!"

Little Dun Fairy said joyfully, "This is perfect for restoring the Great Shang era. Great Shang is saved. My husband is the Emperor Shang, and it will be passed to my son. My son will be Emperor Shang, extending the life of Great Shang."

Sha Qiutong was speechless.

After Chen Shi finished teaching, he said with a smile, "Everyone, I will make the Primordial Talisman public and teach it to my disciples on Golden Turtle Island. Please, observe the ceremony."

The crowd was stunned by his words.

Yangshuo Mountain Man said, "If the master spreads it just like this, the Immortal Court and Heavenly Court might obtain the Primordial Talisman."

Everyone nodded repeatedly.

Niang Po Primordial Monarch said, "Honestly, the master’s Golden Turtle Island was long infiltrated by the Immortal Court and Heavenly Court, as full of holes as a sieve. Although they are master’s disciples outwardly, they are actually outsiders. If you spread it, within days, the Heavenly Court and Immortal Court will have the Primordial Talisman; Three Pure Ones Realm and Western Heaven can also get a copy."

The crowd nodded again.

Golden Turtle Island had numerous disciples, including 200,000 Heavenly Soldiers and Generals. When Chen Shi brought them in, he didn’t investigate their backgrounds or check if any were spies from the Immortal Court, Heavenly Court, Three Pure Ones Realm, or Western Heaven; he simply accepted everyone.

With such a significant matter as the Primordial Talisman, they would certainly report it to their respective leaders.

Chen Shi looked around and smiled, "Fellow Daoists, when I taught you the Primordial Talisman, was I ever stingy?"

His words caused everyone to react emotionally.

Chang Chun Emperor, feeling guilty, stood up and bowed, saying, "The master is selfless, teaching the world, and his merits will be heard throughout. Earlier, I thought spreading it would benefit others; it turns out I was narrow-minded and less generous than the master. The master truly deserves the title of Teacher!"

Niang Po Primordial Monarch, Old Man Shantang, and others also stood up and bowed, saying, "The title of Teacher is indeed deserved!"

Chen Shi quickly rose and helped everyone up, smiling, "Fellow Daoists have not looked down on me for my youth and frailness but have supported me time and again, allowing me to reach this day. The Primordial Talisman is merely a small token of appreciation. The Teacher never sought rewards while teaching the world; I merely imitate the Teacher’s actions, not daring to claim the title."

Everyone was impressed.

Sha Qiutong and Du Yiran exchanged glances. Du Yiran whispered, "Old Chen, are you sure Little Ten has undergone Demon Transformation? He doesn’t seem to need any flaws in the Primordial Talisman to win these Daluo Golden Immortals over."

Chen Yindou said, "Don’t be fooled by him. He is now in a state of Absolute Divinity, where he discards human emotion and acts rationally. He says and does things to win hearts exactly because he believes this approach is effective."

Sha Qiutong muttered, "But such words and actions are very humane, not demonic at all."

"That’s the terrifying aspect of Demon Transformation under Absolute Divinity; it’s adept at disguise," Chen Yindou said.

Chen Shi approached, and Chen Yindou sneered, "Brat, you ingratiate yourself with people while secretly inserting flaws to control others. How hypocritical!"

Chen Shi said in surprise, "Grandfather, you are misled by human emotions. I can control them without needing any flaws, so why bother inserting them into the Primordial Talisman? The one I taught has no flaws."

Du Yiran was dubious, "Really?"

Chen Shi smiled, "Why would I deceive you?"

He walked out, leaving Dao Ruins, with Chen Yindou and the others following him. Behind them, Chang Chun Emperor and others descended onto Golden Turtle Island, each revealing their Great Dao Phenomenon as they observed the ceremony where Chen Shi taught the Primordial Talisman to his disciples.

"The Primordial Talisman he’s teaching this time must undoubtedly contain flaws,"

Chen Yindou said, "He won’t let this opportunity pass to control everyone!"

Du Yiran hesitated for a moment and said, "Old Chen, do you really think Little Ten has fallen into the demon? Why do I feel he hasn’t? He seems more human than human!"

Sha Qiutong leaned in and nodded repeatedly, "He doesn’t seem demonized. Look, he hasn’t killed us and even wins hearts, and even his wife says he’s still himself."

Du Yiran said, "For instance, in teaching, even if he passes the Primordial Talisman to the Immortal Court, Heavenly Court, Three Pure Ones Realm, and Western Heaven, he doesn’t need to hide flaws to control others. Because he has already won people’s hearts!"

Sha Qiutong said, "He, as a God, is bound to have overwhelming incense offerings, becoming the Daoist Ancestor of the era, forever and ever, receiving incense from all people, on par with the Three Pure Ones! Why would he insert flaws into the Primordial Talisman?"

Chen Yindou, swayed by their words, began to doubt his judgment.

By then, the teaching had begun.

The 200,000 disciples of Golden Turtle Island came from all corners of Penglai West, each sitting in the air, on cushions, amidst clouds, atop the Rainbow Bridge, under trees, or on the backs of mutant beasts.

Some sat outside Biyou Palace, on rocks, on grass, beside the Spiritual Spring, listening quietly and carefully comprehending.

Inside Biyou Palace, Chen Shi sat, exhibiting a vast Primordial Spirit, suspended in mid-air, motionless. Various Primordial Talismans he understood emerged from his Primordial Spirit and showcased to everyone.

These Primordial Talismans contained the marvels of the Immortal Dao, the principles of the Divine Dao, and more of the mysteries of the Outer Dao, occasionally accompanied by Dao sound, elucidating the mysteries within. Sometimes, they transformed from Primordial Talismans into Immortal Dao Dao Patterns or Divine Dao Patterns, allowing one to emulate the transformations and gain insights.

This teaching session was more than imparting Primordial Talismans; it was transmitting the Dao, sharing not just the foundational framework of Primordial Talismans but also the Divine Dao, Immortal Dao, Demon Path, Evil Dao, and other Daoist Skills!

"Regardless of whether Little Ten leaves flaws, the structure of the Earth Immortal Realm is destined for a great upheaval," Chen Yindou thought silently.

This upheaval will sweep across the Western Heaven, Three Pure Ones Realm, the Immortal Court, and Heavenly Court!

No matter if those big figures are willing or not, facing this unstoppable force, even the Western Heaven Buddha, Three Pure Ones Realm Sect Leader, Immortal Emperor Supreme, or Jade Emperor Great Heavenly Venerate will seem powerless!

"Old geezers, from today, this world has changed."

As Chen Yindou thought of this, his mind was filled with doubts again. Is Chen Shi truly demonized?
