Above the Great Dao-Chapter 1432 - 666: Shattering the Technique (Part 2)

The Old Monk in this life had no cultivation, but his physical body was innately strong and could harness Yin Yang Qi, with an incredibly fast flight speed. Even though Chen Shi moved first, the next moment he was behind Chen Shi!

"Daoist Yun Cheng, even without cultivation, is still so formidable?"

Chen Shi was taken aback and instantly flicked his sleeve towards the Old Monk.

"Swish!"

The burst of radiance engulfed the rushing Old Monk, and when it dissipated, Chen Shi, Zhong Wuwang, and the Old Monk all vanished.

Outside the World of Wu Fang, the three appeared again. Zhong Wuwang and the Old Monk's forms had returned to normal, and the Old Monk still extended his sharp claws towards Chen Shi. His cultivation, nearly at the Daluo Golden Immortal stage, stirred the space-time around them, locking in all of Chen Shi's changes, ready to kill him in one strike!

His sharp claws, no matter where Chen Shi fled—into any world, into the void, or even back to the Dao Ruins, Well Demon Realm, or West Bull New Continent—could not escape the power of this claw. He was destined to die at his hands!

Beside Chen Shi, Zhong Wuwang saw the Old Monk's arrival and was overjoyed, opening his mouth and stretching his neck like a fledgling bird chirping for food.

Just as Chen Shi seemed doomed to perish under the Old Monk's claws, suddenly memories flooded in, returning to his mind.

"Amitabha."

The Old Monk chanted the Buddha name, retracted his claws, transforming back into an old monk, and with hands folded, bowed to Chen Shi, "Thank you, Daoist Chen, for rescuing me."

"Cheep cheep!"

Beside Chen Shi, Zhong Wuwang happily chirped, "Cheep..."

He blinked, as if recalling something, his face flushed red, withdrawing his neck and shutting his mouth.

Seeing his memory restored, Chen Shi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Er Niu..."

"Don't say it!"

Zhong Wuwang raised his sleeve to cover his face, mortified, and said, "Don't say anything. Let this matter pass."

Chen Shi said, "This matter can't simply be passed over."

Zhong Wuwang hesitated slightly, showing half of his face from behind his sleeve, "What do you mean?"

With an expression as calm as an ancient well, Chen Shi said, "I have already deduced the Sutra of Eternal Freedom. This cultivation technique is truly Divine Skills. I will share this technique with the three of us, so we can together identify the flaws. Then we will attempt to unravel the Divine Skills of the World of Wu Fang and lead these souls to reincarnation."

Zhong Wuwang put down his sleeve and looked towards the World of Wu Fang, "You mean these people have long since died?"

The Old Monk said, "They have long died, but are trapped within the Divine Skills of Eternal Freedom, repeatedly experiencing death as the price of their tribulation. Daoist Chen, you have a heart of compassion, akin to our monks of the Western Heaven."

Though he was fiercely aggressive, his praise for Chen Shi was sincere.

Chen Shi shook his head, "A Daluo Golden Immortal who accomplished all this could become a Ming King in your Western Heaven, while I, a mere True Immortal, count as nothing? Hardly worthy of the Western Heaven's recognition."

Occupied outside this World of Wu Fang, he explained the Eternal Freedom Sutra to the two, "My journey here is to fulfill King Li's command, to explore the truth behind the destruction of this realm. Your purposes were to enter the World of Wu Fang to transform the resentment of these souls. We gained nothing from our journey, instead getting tangled in the tribulations of the World of Wu Fang. If we return now, wouldn't we be ridiculed?"

The Old Monk and Zhong Wuwang agreed, and the Old Monk said, "Daoist Chen is right. Since Daoist Chen has already fathomed the Sutra of Eternal Freedom, dismantling it will not be as troublesome."

His cultivation realm was profound, and Zhong Wuwang was also extremely clever; the three of them studied the flaws of this Divine Skills together.

Divine Skills, whether offensive or defensive, if unleashed, will have flaws that can be traced.

The greater the power of the Divine Skills, the harder it is to achieve perfect execution.

The Sutra of Eternal Freedom is among the strongest Divine Skills Chen Shi has encountered, yet despite this, the three still sought meticulously before finding some minor flaws.

The trio discussed and debated for a long time; Chen Shi offered the remaining few Fuluo Village Spirit Pills to the other two, and soon more flaws were discovered.

Until the efficacy of the Fuluo Village Spirit Pills faded, they only found some small flaws, insufficient to completely dismantle this Divine Skills.

Suddenly the Old Monk spoke, "Daoist Chen, what method did you use to comprehend this cultivation technique?"

Chen Shi replied, "I used the Outer Dao Principle deduced from West Bull New Continent, which lies amidst the Dark Sea, where the Heaven and Earth Great Dao is scarce. I call it the First Dao Principle."

He narrated the method he used to explore the Sutra of Eternal Freedom. As he spoke, his thoughts stirred, and he conceived an idea.

Before he could finish speaking, the Old Monk said, "Your methodology, akin to utilizing the Outer Dao, tears openings in this Divine Skills, using these breaches to observe Heaven and Earth Great Dao changes during the Divine Skills operation. So, could we use your technique to tear larger gaps at these minor flaws?"

Zhong Wuwang also realized it and laughed, "The flaws in the Sutra of Eternal Freedom are small, but if the First Dao Principle tears them open, it will evolve into large flaws! Might even tear apart this Divine Skills completely!"

Chen Shi contemplated, "I only fear lacking the power to tear open a Divine Skills of a Daluo Golden Immortal... How about this, there are forty-one minor flaws here, Daoist Yun Cheng can pluck forty-one feathers, and I will inscribe the First Dao Principle on these feathers, then have Daoist repeatedly refine them. Then, raise them and insert them into the forty-one flaws of the World of Wu Fang."
