Above the Great Dao-Chapter 1430 - 665: Breaking Free from Reincarnation (2)

Chen Shi descended swiftly, laughing, "Great Monk Tian Yan, did you disciples come here because you've made a thirteen-year pact with the Wotuo Country Lord to perform three thousand virtuous deeds so he would allow you to turn Wotuo Country into a Buddha Country?"

Tian Yan and Zheng Nian exchanged glances, their expressions slightly changing, but they remained silent.

Chen Shi laughed, "Rest assured, I won't take any of your merit. But you two probably don't know that Wotuo Country no longer has any living people. Even if you go to the capital, it would be useless."

"Thank you for the guidance, friend."

Heavenly Inference Arhat bowed, smiled, and said, "If the whole country is filled with ghosts, then our merit will be even greater."

After speaking, he and Monk Zheng Nian left together.

Zhong Wuwang rushed out in a murderous rage, shouting, "Mother, help me!"

The Old Monk spread his wings and leaped out. The master and disciple pair lunged at Tian Yan and Zheng Nian, and within a few moves, the two were killed.

The Old Monk and Zhong Wuwang returned.

Chen Shi shook his head, "Even if you do this, it changes nothing."

Zhong Wuwang said, "How would we know if we don't try?"

They waited for a few days, and another group of monks arrived at Wotuo Country to hold a Water and Land Dojo.

Zhong Wuwang frowned; even killing Tian Yan and Zheng Nian hadn't stopped this event.

"Let's go observe," Chen Shi said.

They returned to the capital of Wotuo Country to attend the event, which was almost unchanged from before, except for the absence of Tian Yan and Zheng Nian.

Zhong Wuwang was a bit uneasy, thinking, "If this isn't a cycle of reincarnation, then two of my fellow sect members died by my hands?"

Chen Shi scanned the crowd and told Zhong Wuwang, "Er Niu, look at those faces."

Zhong Wuwang followed his gaze and saw several faces that were exactly the same!

He continued scanning the crowd and noticed many faces were nearly identical!

"These people have been overtaken by the tribulation and become replicas of that Ming King."

Chen Shi said, "Everyone here will turn into a replica of Ming King to die in his place."

Zhong Wuwang's eye twitched, his voice raspy, "If we can't find the slightest trace of his divine skills, will we also turn into his replicas?"

Chen Shi nodded.

Zhong Wuwang laughed loudly, "If we find a clue, we can definitely unravel his divine skills, right?"

He looked at Chen Shi with a fervent gaze, "You're the young Scholar, unparalleled under the heavens, the only one from West Bull New Continent in six thousand years! You must be confident in unraveling his divine skills, right?"

Chen Shi thought of the times he tried to unravel the divine skills from the Great Wilderness Ming Dao Collection and felt a weight in his heart.

He never succeeded in unraveling the divine skills from the Great Wilderness Ming Dao Collection.

"I surely can," Chen Shi said with a smile.

Zhong Wuwang seemed relieved, laughing, "I knew you could. Although I always argue with you, in my heart, you're still the smartest person in the world! Even in the Earth Immortal Realm, you're the smartest!"

Chen Shi's heart felt heavy; he truly wasn't confident in unraveling the Eternal Freedom Divine Power.

If he could catch even a trace of this divine skill, finding its weaknesses, perhaps he could unravel it.

But he only had one chance.

Seven days passed quickly.

At this moment, all the people of Wotuo Country turned into evil ghosts, pouncing on those offerings.

Chen Shi and Zhong Wuwang felt invigorated; this was the moment when the Eternal Freedom Divine Power would manifest!

The two focused entirely, sensing the changes in the Great Dao of heaven and earth.

No anomalies whatsoever!

Chen Shi and Zhong Wuwang both frowned, and Zhong Wuwang called out, "Mother, can you sense any changes in the Great Dao of heaven and earth?"

The Golden-winged Roc, having more powerful cultivation, sensed carefully at these words, suddenly saying, "There is a change."

Chen Shi and Zhong Wuwang's eyes lit up, "What change?"

The old monk stammered, "I can't quite say... "

Just then, the evil ghosts fell into the monks' Six Paths of Reincarnation, and the Six Paths began to collapse.

Zhong Wuwang quickly said, "Can you detect the flaw, and take us flying out!"

Old Monk said, "I can't see where the flaw is."

Zhong Wuwang was spinning around in desperation, like an ant in a hot pan.

Chen Shi remained calm, continuing to desperately sense changes in the Great Dao around him, yet still felt no change at all.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck his mind, "My Harmonization is the Heaven and Earth Great Dao conforming to me. Why should I perceive the changes in the other's Great Dao? Why don't I insert my Daoist Skills into the Heavenly Dao to disrupt the other's skill?"

Thinking so, he immediately took action.

None of his other Daoist Skills, even the Xuanhuang Dao Pattern passed on by Lady Houtu, could significantly disrupt this divine power. However, one Dao Pattern came from the Outer Dao of West Bull New Continent!

Chen Shi's mind stirred; the First Dao Principle flew out in all directions, spreading across the sky and earth, causing cracks to appear in the sky and ground.

This was the enlightenment from the Outer Dao of West Ox, the Decipher!

"I want to see if the pollution from the Outer Dao can pollute your divine skill too?"

The dominion of the First Dao Principle spread increasingly, gradually covering the entire Wotuo Country.

At this moment, Chen Shi suddenly sensed the First Dao Principle being impacted by an invisible force, slightly trembling, this impact was subtle yet omnipresent!

The First Dao Principle being an Outer Dao, its strong polluting nature collided with the invisible force, eroding it!

Chen Shi's body shivered, feeling the pressure transmitted from the First Dao Principle, feeling somewhat overwhelmed.

Though the First Dao Principle had strong polluting properties, the cultivation of its master still fell short of that Ming King.

But in this brief contact, he seemed to grow numerous eyes, observing a part of the other's Daoist Skill simultaneously!

The First Dao Principle shattered one after another.

Quickly, Chen Shi consolidated the other's Daoist Skill that the First Dao Principle contacted, and a cultivation technique was gradually forming in his mind.

At the same time, the magnificent divine skills enveloping heaven and earth finally became visible.

This divine skill engulfed the entire World of Wu Fang, consuming this world!

Chen Shi suddenly realized, and shouted to Zhong Wuwang and the Old Monk, "That Ming King's divine skill is the cultivation technique Eternal Freedom. The technique itself is the divine skill!"

Zhong Wuwang was shocked, showing joy, "Did you comprehend it? Did you find any flaws?"

Chen Shi shook his head.

Just then, the Golden-winged Roc, in which the Old Monk transformed, took off, grabbing the two of them to fly out of the sky, anxiously saying, "Something big is going to happen!"

He had sensed danger, flapping his wings hard, maneuvering through the air with his extremely keen senses, trying to avoid the Eternal Freedom Divine Power, a small glimmer of hope growing in Chen Shi and Zhong Wuwang's hearts.

Perhaps the Old Monk could take them out, for he had cultivated the Eighteenth Layer of the Dao Realm, greatly enhancing his Daoist Practice.

But in the following moment, the Golden-winged Roc was struck by the invisible divine skill, plunging him along with the entire World of Wu Fang into the void.

The Old Monk struggled to flap his wings, sending the two soaring outward, shouting, "Young one, send your brother out!"

Zhong Wuwang and Chen Shi were flung by his wings, rushing out to the sky.

Zhong Wuwang expended his last ounce of strength, activating his divine skills, sending Chen Shi outward, shouting loudly, "Young Scholar! Chen Zhaoyuan! Remember to come back and save us!"

Chen Shi activated the cultivation technique of Eternal Freedom. Though it was merely a rudimentary framework of a technique, he could already perceive Ming King's divine skills.

He was propelled by Zhong Wuwang's power to the edge of Ming King's divine skills, seemingly able to escape but still encompassed by this divine skill.

"Buzzing!"

The surrounding heaven and earth became incredibly distorted, and as Chen Shi opened his eyes, he found himself again in a bird's nest, with Zhong Wuwang sitting beside him.

Zhong Wuwang was covered with bird feathers, still downy rather than fully formed. His mouth had become a beak, his feet turning into talons.

He resembled a Golden-winged Roc more than a human now.

"Er Niu, do you still remember me?" Chen Shi asked.

"Chirp chirp," Zhong Wuwang responded.

He had been completely trapped in the cycle of birth and death.

Chen Shi retained his previous memories only because of the rudimentary framework of the cultivation technique he comprehended. Although he hadn't found the flaw nor escaped, he could still protect himself with this framework.

His cultivation remained, and he walked out of the bird's nest, once more spreading the First Dao Principle over the sky and earth, carefully sensing the changes in Eternal Freedom.

"This time, I've jumped out of the cycle. Next time, I aim to fully deduce your technique and find your flaw!"
