Above the Great Dao-Chapter 1508 - 701: Sweeping Through Enemy Territory

Chen Shi revealed the Witch Sacrificial Dao Pattern of the Undying Immortal Method, explaining it one by one to Immortal Master Erlang.

The Witch Sacrificial Dao Pattern reached its peak during the Great Shang Era. Merchants liked to imprint their various insights into the Great Dao into their bloodlines, passing them down through generations. Different races had different Witch Sacrificial Dao Patterns, often only specializing in one kind, while being completely ignorant of the Dao Patterns of other races.

Immortal Master Erlang was born in the Great Shang Era and was also proficient in some Witch Sacrificial Dao Patterns, but the Witch Sacrificial Dao Pattern of the Undying Immortal Method was extremely complex, encompassing parts of the Dao Patterns of various races. Even he, with his third eye, could not understand it.

Without Chen Shi’s explanation, even if he obtained the complete Undying Immortal Method, he might have to spend tens of thousands of years deciphering its mysteries.

But Chen Shi explained it leisurely, unraveling the mysteries one by one, making understanding the Witch Sacrificial Dao Pattern of the Undying Immortal Method much simpler.

Chen Shi spent two days and nights explaining the mysteries of the Witch Sacrificial Dao Pattern of the Undying Immortal Method.

Immortal Master Erlang closed his eyes, concentrating, and carefully recalled Chen Shi’s explanation in his mind. After a long time, he finally comprehended the mysteries and opened his eyes, saying: "The Undying Immortal Method contains Witch Sacrificial Dao Patterns from different races. The person who created this Cultivation Technique must be very knowledgeable. Yet for some reason, he knows very little about Immortal Laws. Although this Cultivation Technique is named Undying Immortal Method, it has no relation to Immortal Laws, resembling Witchcraft more."

Chen Shi smiled and said, "The person who created this Cultivation Technique had not seen many Immortal Laws. He wanted to use the Witch Sacrificial Dao Patterns to create an Immortal Law that the descendants of Great Shang could also cultivate based on his understanding of Immortal Laws."

Immortal Master Erlang was moved: "Creating such a Mysterious Skill capable of achieving Golden Immortal without having seen real Immortal Laws? No wonder the Cultivation Technique has some fantastic aspects. Who is this extraordinary being?"

"Wu Qi, the Master during the Great Shang Era of the West Bull New Continent."

Chen Shi said, "He was responsible for the transmission of Witch Sacrificial Dao Patterns among various races and was a great master of the Witch Sacrificial Dao Pattern. Feeling that Witch Sacrificial Dao Patterns cannot compete with Immortal Laws, he created the Undying Immortal Method."

Immortal Master Erlang solemnly respected: "This person is a great talent. If he could access more Immortal Laws, he would certainly be able to perfect the Undying Immortal Method."

Chen Shi smiled and said: "I think so too. Master, does the Undying Immortal Method help you?"

Immortal Master Erlang earnestly replied: "It helps greatly. During my cultivation, I found many unresolved issues with Immortal Laws, such as my famous Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill. During the Great Shang Period, I spent a hundred years cultivating this method to the Golden Immortal Realm.

"Another hundred years passed, and I cultivated from Golden Immortal to Taiyi Golden Immortal. By then, I had mastered the Cultivation Technique, but it was difficult to make further progress."

"In the subsequent three hundred thousand years, I expended all my efforts, gathering various Immortal Laws, and made many deletions and modifications to Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill, barely advancing it to the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm. However, after reaching Daluo Golden Immortal, I could only advance two more Dao Realms. Beyond that, it was an insurmountable wall between heaven and earth, with no way forward."

"Later, I thought that the reason for my difficulty in progressing might not be due to the lack of a path ahead, but due to a problem with my foundation. I should seek the source of the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill. Unfortunately, Great Shang has been destroyed."

"This time, obtaining the Witch Sacrificial Dao Pattern of the Undying Immortal Method is enough for my Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill to advance, reaching higher realms!"

Chen Shi inquired: "May I ask if Master could explain the Witch Sacrificial Dao Pattern of the Undying Immortal Method to me?"

Immortal Master Erlang gladly said: "Why not?"

This time, it was Immortal Master Erlang explaining the Witch Sacrificial Dao Pattern, with Chen Shi listening obediently. Although Immortal Master Erlang was speaking about the Witch Sacrificial Dao Pattern of the Undying Immortal Method, seemingly the same as what Chen Shi was going to explain, it was his own understanding.

Having spent his life studying the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill, he unintentionally incorporated his understanding of the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill into his explanation, making his discourse several times more than the content of the Undying Immortal Method!

He spoke for more than ten days before finishing.

Chen Shi closed his eyes, meditating for a long time, and remembered everything heard over the past ten days.

Immortal Master Erlang was a Daluo Golden Immortal. His teachings were profound, and some parts Chen Shi couldn’t understand immediately, needing to remember them first for future contemplation.

Although Immortal Master Erlang was not speaking directly about Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill, Chen Shi benefited greatly, gradually gaining confidence to perfect the Undying Mysterious Technique.

Immortal Master Erlang rose and said: "Heavenly King Chen, I should return to Guankou now, farewell."

Chen Shi rose to see him off, accompanying him out of the village. Immortal Master Erlang said: "Stay here. I shall go into seclusion, to comprehend the Third Layer Dao Realm of the Daluo Golden Immortal, and won’t be leaving seclusion for a short time."

Chen Shi stopped and said: "Then I won’t see you off, Master."

Immortal Master Erlang called Daoist Xiao Tian and said: "It’s time to return to Guankou."

Daoist Xiao Tian hesitated and said: "Master, I’ll carry the black pot and travel for a few more days before returning."

Immortal Master Erlang nodded in agreement, just about to leave, he stopped again, turned around and said: "Heavenly King Chen, you are an Immortal. In the current dispute between Immortal Gods, which side are you on?"

Chen Shi asked for guidance: "Master, which side do you think I should stand on?"

Immortal Master Erlang did not answer directly, saying: "I am both an Immortal and a Divine Being, practicing the Great Dao between heaven and earth, and absorbing incense from the Mortal World. Both factions of Immortal Gods wish to win me over, but neither can. Thus, in this great contention, I can remain neutral."

Chen Shi bowed and said: "Thank you for your guidance, Master!"

Immortal Master Erlang shook his head and said: "I merely share my way of handling matters. I do not approve of the actions of the Heavenly Court nor the manner of Immortal True of the Earth Immortal Realm, thus I hide away in the Mortal World to avoid the disputes between them. You are not one to avoid the world, what works for me may not be apt for you."
