Zhong Wuwang was unfazed. Although Yang Bi's words were harsh, they hadn't disturbed his Dao Heart. He laughed, "I never obtained the Innate Dao Embryo myself. My Dao Embryo was transplanted from Brother Chen, by my master."

Chen Shi took out the Blood Transformation Divine Saber and placed it on the table.

Zhong Wuwang laughed, "Chen Shi, your foundation is unstable. The Blood Sea Hell is merely reliant on the Blood Transformation Divine Saber. Sooner or later, I'll find a Magic Skill to break your triple Daoist Field."

Yang Bi raised his cup, "Drink tea."

Zhong Wuwang raised his cup to drink but suddenly saw Chen Shi's gaze. He quickly activated the Heavenly Immortal Finger, using two fingers to guard his throat, preventing Chen Shi from slashing him while he drank.

This was definitely something Chen Shi would do.

However, Chen Shi and Yang Bi's eyes were bright and focused, staring at those fingertips, desperately memorizing the Witch Sacrificial Dao Pattern.

Seeing this, Zhong Wuwang put his teacup down quickly in alarm.

The Heavenly Immortal Finger was his trump card. If the two learned it, it wouldn't take long for them to find a way to deal with him.

"So you're saying, the next one to be sacrificed by Despair Slope is Er Niu?" Chen Shi suddenly remarked.

Zhong Wuwang's face changed slightly. Immediately, Chen Shi reached for his saber and slashed, the flashes of the blade already arriving at Zhong Wuwang's throat in a snap!

"Clang!"

Zhong Wuwang placed two fingers in front of his throat, blocking the saber.

Chen Shi and Yang Bi immediately focused on those fingers, continuing to memorize the Witch Sacrificial Dao Pattern.

Zhong Wuwang's expression shifted, a mix of anger and laughter, "You two are being too much!"

Yang Bi said solemnly, "So, you're the next to be sacrificed, which is why you're seeking external help to deal with Despair Slope."

Zhong Wuwang stood ready, wary of Chen Shi's possible sneak attack due to his shaken Dao Heart. He spoke plainly, "Yes. I do want strong support, but it's not for dealing with Despair Slope, it's to contend against the Heavenly Venerate!"

Chen Shi's heart stirred, "Why the Heavenly Venerate?"

Zhong Wuwang explained, "The Heavenly Venerate sacrificed the True King's Primordial Spirit and Dao Embryo to extend the life of the Outer Heaven True God. The Heavenly Venerate is stubborn; he's certain to sacrifice me at the next eclipse. I won't die, so I must deal with the Heavenly Venerate."

He was sincere, hiding nothing, full of earnestness.

Chen Shi grinned, "Er Niu, I finally know how to kill you. I'll tell the Heavenly Venerate what you said!"

Zhong Wuwang's face changed drastically, Chen Shi swung his saber to strike. Zhong Wuwang activated the Heavenly Immortal Finger, deflecting the blow.

Chen Shi and Yang Bi urgently memorized the Witch Sacrificial Dao Pattern of the Heavenly Immortal Finger.

Zhong Wuwang clenched his fists heavily, yet felt an overwhelming sense of helplessness.

He enjoyed harmonious relations with Despair Slope's disciples. They revered him greatly, as if stars surrounding a moon. Even the Heavenly Dao Practitioner esteemed him highly, believing he would become a Heavenly Immortal, possibly matching the Heavenly Venerate in the future.

He often descended the mountain, encountering various people.

But people as shameless as Chen Shi and Yang Bi, it was his first time seeing!

"I do need strong allies. Of those who can earn my regard, there are few. Chen Shi, you're one of them."

Zhong Wuwang looked at Yang Bi, "You're one too. I hope both of you can help me against the Heavenly Venerate."

Chen Shi frowned slightly. His target was Despair Slope, thus confronting the Heavenly Venerate was inevitable.

"What problems does the Heavenly Venerate have?" he inquired.

Zhong Wuwang hesitated momentarily, "The Heavenly Venerate is strange. We at Despair Slope have long been proud to serve the True God. Among us, only the Heavenly Venerate can communicate with the True God and convey divine commands. The sacrifice of the True King by Despair Slope was commanded by him and eradicating outer gods was too."

He looked at Chen Shi, "You revived the outer gods, Despair Slope noticed. Previously, whenever a temple appeared, it would be destroyed by Despair Slope. They said it was the will of the True God. But this time, with the merging of Yin Yang Two Realms, the Heavenly Venerate claimed the True God wanted to catch you all in one go, hence the delay."

Chen Shi felt stirred, "You're saying, at that time, the True God was in a near-death state, so the Heavenly Venerate's will was not the True God's but his own thoughts."

Zhong Wuwang said, "I once communicated with the True God but couldn't receive any will. Many others from Despair Slope experienced the same."

Yang Bi said, "So, whatever the Heavenly Venerate says, it can be considered the True God's command!"

Zhong Wuwang nodded, "If Chen Shi's words are true, the True God left the Innate Dao Embryo to find a successor when he was near death, he wouldn't drive out outer gods out of benevolence."

"The one driving out outer gods is actually the Heavenly Venerate," Chen Shi added.

Zhong Wuwang sighed, "Despair Slope is like another home to me, and I don't want it to become a tool of the Heavenly Venerate. The Heavenly Venerate aims to deal with Lady Houtu, also intends to confront Divine Capital. Chen Shi, Yang Bi, we must join forces."

Chen Shi remarked indifferently, "You want me and Yang Bi to help you? Er Niu, weigh your worth. Do you consider yourself qualified for an alliance?"

He reclined back in his chair, speaking casually, "I am the True King of the Heavenly Court, ruling over the Heavenly Court, where masters abound, most being demi-immortal experts. I am the King of Heavenly Pond Country, commanding numerous ghost gods. I'm also the Demon Emperor of Divine Capital, with disciples of disaster everywhere, and at my touch, demon gods swarm the mountains. I'm a loyal dragon accomplice of the dignified senior official of the Underworld. Each of the Eighteen Layers of Hell is full of ghost gods at my beck and call. Er Niu, what do you have to offer in partnership?"

Zhong Wuwang remained composed, "The Innate Dao Embryo."

Chen Shi shook his head, "That's originally mine. Killing you, I can reclaim the Dao Embryo."

Zhong Wuwang furrowed his brow slightly, "I'll be the first new method Immortal, paving a Harmonization path for others."

Chen Shi shook his head, "You have the Dao Embryo, others don't, they can't follow you."

Zhong Wuwang pondered for a moment, "There will be a battle between Despair Slope and you. When the Heavenly Venerate decides to take action, I can notify you for early precautions. I can also reveal the Heavenly Venerate's plans to you."

Chen Shi's eyes lit up, and he smiled, "This is good. But it's not enough."

Zhong Wuwang met his gaze, "Then, Brother Chen, what do you want?"

Chen Shi said, "I want to visit Despair Slope."

Zhong Wuwang's heart shook slightly, hesitated repeatedly, and said, "You must disguise yourself, and only then can I take you in. Also, once you're at Despair Slope, you must obey my instructions and not act on your own."

Chen Shi nodded slowly, "Alright."

Zhong Wuwang sighed with relief and laughed, "Then it's settled. Chen Shi, Yang Bi, wait for my message. Once I've arranged everything, I'll take you to Despair Slope."

He called Fang Zhenxiu, took the little child's hand, and left.

"Yan Zhenxiu, is it you, Yan Zhenxiu?" Chen Shi called.

Fang Zhenxiu was about to turn his head, but Zhong Wuwang's large hand covered the back of his head, preventing him from turning.

Chen Shi laughed, "So, it's really not someone from the Yan Family; I'm being paranoid."

Zhong Wuwang took Fang Zhenxiu away, quietly sighed with relief, and touched Fang Zhenxiu's head, "If I hadn't stopped you, you'd be dead by now."

Fang Zhenxiu quickly said, "Thank you, Master, for saving me!"

Zhong Wuwang laughed, "I originally planned to test more young ones, but you're smart and clever, just to my liking. So, I won't look for other children; I'll take you as my disciple."

Fang Zhenxiu bowed to him, repeatedly kowtowing.

"A five-year-old child with the ability to adapt as you have is rare."

Zhong Wuwang helped him up, "I still need to find a leftover item, so I can't return to Despair Slope for now. You'll have to follow me around."

He thought of the power of the Heavenly Immortal Finger and felt a rush of excitement in his heart.

The Witch Sacrificial Dao Pattern that can counter the Heavenly Net Blood Transformation Divine Sword is rare in this world!

If one could learn all the Witch Sacrificial Dao Patterns, wouldn't they be invincible?

Yang Family, Yang Bi said, "If True King hadn't arrived in time, I would have been a corpse."

Chen Shi laughed, "Zhong Wuwang needs to cooperate with us, he won't kill you."

Yang Bi shook his head, "Hard to say. He feels I'm a big threat to him, so he wants to eliminate me quickly. True King, how much of the Witch Sacrificial Dao Pattern did you remember?"

Chen Shi said, "Thirty or forty percent."

Yang Bi showed a smile, "I also remembered thirty or forty percent. If we write down the Witch Sacrificial Dao Pattern individually and compare them, we should be able to get fifty percent of the Witch Sacrificial Dao Pattern! Even fifty percent possesses extraordinary power."

Chen Shi laughed, "Let's not rush; shall we write them down on the road and compare notes?"

Yang Bi was slightly moved in his heart, "True King's meaning is that Zhong Wuwang will search for more bones?"

Chen Shi took out a piece of silver and handed it to Xiaofang, "Sister-in-law, use it to fix the house. I'll borrow Yang Bi for a few days."

Xiaofang laughed, "True King must return a good person to our mother and child."

"No missing arms or legs, promise," Chen Shi laughed.

Yang Bi walked alongside him, and the two left Tianyu County. Chen Shi laughed, "Zhong Wuwang hurriedly left, he must be searching for more bones. We just need to follow him to find the treasure. When we reach the place, it's hard to say who the treasure will end up with. By the way, Tianqing said you wanted to join the Heavenly Court's Ministry of Rites, and I agreed. The Ministry of Rites needs people like you, Tianqing, and Yu Lingzi who can fight."

Yang Bi blinked and probed, "Isn't it the Ministry of War that should fight? Does the Ministry of Rites also need fighters?"

"Isn't there a saying 'First rites, then warfare'?"

Chen Shi said seriously, "When encountering enemies, send out the Ministry of Rites first, to fight before the Ministry of War."

Yang Bi laughed heartily, "If it weren't for your unparalleled talent, I'd suspect you bought your title as top scorer!"

Chen Shi saw him limping and said, "How did you get injured? Why hasn't it healed?"

Yang Bi looked open-minded and laughed, "It's the Immortal's divine skill from the Upper Realm's Destruction Realm that hurt my leg. It was a peach blossom petal embedded in my leg, and medicinal stones can't heal it. I have to wait until my cultivation reaches the Immortal Realm and refine it away to heal."

Chen Shi said, "I have four disciples, none of them weak, perhaps they could help you refine it."

Yang Bi shook his head, "No need, leaving the wound helps me remember it more deeply."

What he wants to remember is not the Immortal's divine skill but the scene of the Upper Realm's downfall.

He will eventually seek Feng Ruotong and have another battle.

Chen Shi said, "Yang Bi, I'm going to wage war against the Thirteen Families and eradicate them one by one. What do you think?"

Yang Bi looked at him and said, "You want to do something big, you want to become the True King, you want to drive out Evil Spirits, you want to break the control Despair Slope has over the world, you want to restore the true stars and sun and moon. But how can you ensure that after eliminating the Thirteen Families, your True Dynasty Court won't create a new Thirteen Families?"

Chen Shi shook his head, "I can't guarantee that. But when we become corrupt, hopefully, there will be a second Chen Shi and Yang Bi to topple the corrupt us."

Yang Bi thought for a long while, then nodded slowly, "I'll help you. But kill fewer people."

Chen Shi laughed, "I'll listen to you."
