Chapter 824: Chapter 824

Her expression changed slightly, her gaze falling on the Wind Fire Stick in Lou Tianyi’s hand.

Chen Shi looked at Crown Prince Xiang Kun and said, "Crown Prince, do you recognize it?"

Crown Prince Xiang Kun thought to himself, "Does he really take me for his son?"

Though displeased, he still said, "This object is called the Wind Fire Stick, a national treasure of the Feather Nation. Once activated, the wind and fire come together, with a golden dragon composed of flames within the wind, rolling ceaselessly. One strike can shatter anything."

Chen Shi whispered, "Lady, just now that Kalara Ghost God used this stick to repel the attacks of the flesh. Most of this flesh is likely True Immortal blood and flesh..."

Stone Rock Lady smiled and said, "Upper Envoy need not worry, I have my own plans."

She thought silently to herself, "If we can’t withstand the Wind Thunder Stick, then I’ll just abandon the Upper Envoy and flee."

As the two sides were about to clash, suddenly a little daoist boy emerged from the clouds, looked around, adjusted the hat on his head, and said with a smile, "Honorable guests, I am the owner of this place. Could you give me the favor of not engaging in fighting?"

Chen Shi was slightly shocked, exclaiming, "You are the owner of the Immortal Palace?!"

The little daoist boy looked over, surprised, "It’s actually a fellow from the Human Clan. I am Innocent, pleased to meet you, pleased to meet you!"

He clasped his hands and bowed, smiling, "This is my Void Great Realm. I am painstakingly suppressing the evil change. If you fight here, I fear I won’t be able to suppress it, which will harm you in the end. Please, please!"

He spoke in the language of the Ghosts, which Lou Tianyi, Xiang Kun, and others could understand.

"This isn’t the Immortal Palace of our Ghost Clan Immortals?" Lou Tianyi was extremely disappointed.

The little daoist Innocent smiled and said, "No, it’s not. I am the Innocent Taoist of the Taihua Qingyang Palace in the Mortal World. When the True King was sealing immortals, aiming to slay all those with the potential to become immortals, I fled here to hide. Because I was troubled by the evil change, I had to withdraw from the world."

Chen Shi became even more surprised, asking, "You are the founder of Taihua Qingyang Palace? I heard that when the Sanbao eunuch discovered the West Bull New Continent, eighteen Daoists helped the Great Ming soldiers subdue the demons, with fifteen of them dying in the battle. The remaining three founded the Taihua Qingyang Palace. May I ask your relation to those three Daoists?"

The Innocent Taoist smiled and said, "You speak of the three founding masters. I was the daoist boy of the True Yang Ancestor Master, not one of them. The True Yang Ancestor Master saw that I was innocent and lively, said I had a heart towards the Dao, and would surely achieve great success, so he granted me the Daoist title Innocent. But we don’t call it the Taihua Qingyang Palace, we call it the Taihua Qing Palace."

He laughed, revealing two small tiger teeth, "We really had green sheep on our mountain."

Chen Shi couldn’t help but tell the truth, saying, "Later the sheep were lost, so it was called Qing Palace."

The Innocent Taoist was shocked, "Lost? Who stole them?"

Chen Shi mumbled, "A bad person named Chen..."

The Innocent Taoist froze, shook his head, and said, "Lost is lost, I can’t protect myself, I won’t bother with these queries. Later, I indeed cultivated to a very high realm, but the True King wanted to kill me, sending many experts, even raising the True Martial Evil Extermination Sword brought by the True Yang Ancestor Master from the Ancestral Land, trying to take my life."

He showed a confused look and said, "I just kept running, kept running, finally fleeing here to hide. I clearly did nothing wrong, why did they want to kill me?"

He felt a bit sad, "Even the Ancestor Master wanted to kill me, otherwise he wouldn’t have raised the True Martial Evil Extermination Sword. But, I didn’t do anything wrong..."

Lou Tianyi dispersed his True Body, returned to a height of over ten feet, and walked over directly, saying, "Since you are not an Immortal of our Ghost Clan, could you send us away?"

The Innocent Taoist said, "Of course. My purpose in coming out was to tell you not to fight, to be peaceful, and then I would send you away. Are you here to seek treasure? I only know cultivation, I have nothing valuable...but I can draw a protective amulet for each of you!"

He extended his finger, writing and drawing in the air. Soon, Immortal Light gathered, and each person in front of them had a protective amulet that adhered to their skin and gradually disappeared.

Crown Prince Xiang Kun said, "Has your father been here? Do you know how he died?"

The Innocent Taoist inquired about his father’s appearance. Crown Prince Xiang Kun said a few words, and the Innocent Taoist replied, "He had been here, with many others, making a ruckus here. I sent them away. They died?"

Crown Prince Xiang Kun nodded.

The Innocent Taoist sighed repeatedly, gently waved his hand, and a door opened from the Cloud Sea, leading straight to the Immortal Palace.

The Innocent Taoist called to Chen Shi, looking him up and down, frowned, and said, "You seem to have the same condition as me... you also have Evil Qi!"

Chen Shi was quite agitated and said, "Can the Taoist see it? Do you have a solution?"

The Innocent Taoist laughed, "I am a daoist boy, serving in the Pill Furnace for the True Yang Ancestor Master, not a Taoist. I can’t solve it myself, but I have the Yin Yang Refining method, which can suppress the Evil Qi. If you want to learn it, I’ll teach you."

Chen Shi recalled his sight of the sun and moon revolving around each other, refining the flesh, which was indeed very powerful, and immediately thanked him.

The Innocent Taoist taught him the Yin Yang Refining, an Inner Observation Method, using the eyes as the sun and moon, looking inward, like the sun and moon illuminating together, refining Evil Qi. When cultivated to a high level, it transforms into a Dao Image, with the sun and moon appearing in one’s Primordial Spirit Arena, revolving around the cultivator, helping to suppress the evil nature and Evil Qi, preventing degeneration.

When cultivated to the Returning Void Realm, the sun and moon appear in the Void Great Realm, continually refining, avoiding evil changes.

"I came up with this while working in the Pill Furnace, this method can lead you to the Ascension Realm, but what to do after the Ascension Realm, I don’t know."

The Innocent Taoist pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said, "I’m too foolish, have thought about it for years without figuring it out...Oh, I took back the True Martial Evil Extermination Sword from the Ancestor Master, after you leave, take this sword to Taihua Qingyang Palace, return the Immortal Sword to the Qingyang Palace. Do me a favor, tell the True Yang Ancestor Master that I want to go back, I didn’t do anything wrong. Please ask the True Yang Ancestor to plead for me before the True King..."

He was extremely sad, saying, "I really want to go home. I’m relying on you, fellow Daoist!"

He bowed deeply to Chen Shi.

Chen Shi returned the salute, his lips moved, but he didn’t tell him about the True King’s demise, and turned to leave this Void Great Realm.

His figure appeared in the Immortal Palace, Xiang Kun and the others had not left yet, all standing in the hall.

Wen Wuyu motioned to him, raising his hand to indicate behind him.

Chen Shi turned back, seeing a little daoist boy sitting on a meditation mat, back to him.

His hands held an Immortal Sword, the sword emitting rays of rosy clouds.

The little daoist boy had only half a body, his arms and half of his body were without flesh, long since lifeless.

He could not escape the True Martial Evil Extermination Sword.

Chen Shi collected himself, stepped forward, and bowed to the little daoist boy, "Once I leave, I will take this sword back to the Qingyang Palace, and have them bring you home!"

The little daoist boy seemed to hear him, and the remaining half of his face showed a glimpse of a smile, like he was smiling.
