Chapter 1721: 783: Calamity of Darkness

Daoist Qing Yang and Huan Shu were skeptical, but Chen Shi’s physical body remaining intact under the Dao Light of powerful Chantilo Clan members indicated his physical body achievements had reached an incredible realm!

As for how high exactly, it was beyond the knowledge of the two of them.

In this regard, they were both filled with immense admiration.

However, when Chen Shi claimed his understanding might not be inferior to that of Teacher and the Three Pure Ones, they felt it was somewhat boastful.

In their minds, Teacher and the two Buddhas might not have had such high achievements, but the accomplishments of the Three Pure Ones were truly astonishing. Establishing the Immortal Dao cultivation system, founding the Heavenly Court, and opening the Earth Immortal Realm — these feats were incredibly remarkable!

The greatness of the Three Pure Ones’ achievements can only be imagined!

Chen Shi claiming his understanding could be on par with the Three Pure Ones seemed a bit blasphemous to Qing Yang and Huan Shu.

Chen Shi didn’t offer much explanation. He had studied the physical body of Chantilo Clan’s powerful members for nearly twenty years, reconstructing all the Great Dao Laws of this prehistoric figure using the Primordial Talisman, enhancing his Daoist Practice significantly, even surpassing the insights gained from the Underground Green Palace!

With the foundation of the Underground Green Palace and the Primordial Talisman, he spent nearly twenty years deciphering the physical body Magic Skills of the Chantilo Clan’s powerful members, thus being able to materialize in the presence of Dao Light.

His current physical body achievements far surpassed the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill, though not reaching the nearly immortal and invincible level of the Chantilo Clan’s powers, yet still remarkable, surpassing all physical body Magic Skills in the Earth Immortal Realm.

Therefore, Chen Shi dared to claim that his understanding might not be inferior to that of Teacher and the Three Pure Ones.

Qing Yang and Huan Shu led the way, guiding him to Teacher’s hut.

Due to the Dao Light, the buildings left by Teacher and the Three Pure Ones often couldn’t be seen; only by searching around could they confirm the presence of a house. But once inside, shielded from the Dao Light, the interior arrangements could be clearly seen.

Standing before the green stone slab left by Teacher, Chen Shi read Teacher’s insights carefully.

Even though Chen Shi originated from Teacher’s lineage, he had already surpassed the realm of Teacher’s Daoist skills while in the Underground Green Palace, and after integrating the Primordial Talisman, he merged both Immortal Dao and Outer Dao into a seamless whole.

Nevertheless, Teacher’s insights still surprised him.

Teacher’s insights were not only about the physical body of the Chantilo Clan but also applied analogously while understanding the Primordial Spirit during the process!

The physical body of the Chantilo Clan’s powers reached an unimaginable realm, but their Primordial Spirit cultivation was far inferior to their physical body cultivation.

This could be seen from how their physical body remained intact after death while their Primordial Spirit was destroyed, with the Spirit Root formed far inferior to the physical body.

“Twenty years, harmonizing form and spirit! Teacher truly deserves the title. In merely twenty years, he refined his Primordial Spirit to a level nearly as great as his physical body!”

Chen Shi examined it closely, growing more and more impressed.

“Compared to Teacher, I still fall short. It took me over ten years to comprehend the wonders of the physical body, while Teacher achieved harmony of form and spirit in twenty years. His wisdom surpasses mine.”

Teacher’s insights into the Primordial Spirit transcended the Immortal Dao, blending Immortal Dao and Outer Dao, providing him with great inspiration.

Chen Shi stood in front of the green stone slab, unknowingly spending several months there before finally reading the entire slab.

“Teacher is truly worthy of being my master.”

He felt deeply moved; Teacher’s insights into the Primordial Spirit seemed to compensate for what Chantilo Clan’s powers lacked. Although still difficult to compare with the physical body of Chantilo Clan’s powers, it was not far off.

The physical body of Chantilo Clan’s powers reached an unparalleled height, the pinnacle of physical embodiment. If their Spirit Root could absorb their physical body, it would inevitably become the strongest Spirit Root!

However, their Spirit Root couldn’t absorb any Spiritual Power from their physical body, indicating the terrifying level of achievement in this physical body.

Teacher’s twenty years of contemplation elevated the Primordial Spirit to this level, a remarkable feat indeed.

“What Teacher lacks is insufficient accumulation in Outer Dao. If he could acquire my Primordial Talisman, he could undoubtedly refine the Primordial Spirit to the level of Chantilo’s Body! But with Teacher’s travels in the Dark Sea, he must have unraveled the Outer Dao. By now, he may have achieved such accomplishments.”

As Chen Shi’s eyes drifted, they caught sight of the notes left by the Supreme Immortal Emperor beside him.

He read it carefully, and after a while, murmured, “Although the Immortal Emperor’s insight is high, he is still somewhat lacking compared to Teacher and slightly less than myself.”

He suddenly realized this wasn’t because the Supreme Immortal Emperor’s insight was lesser, but because Chen Shi spent over a decade first comprehending the physical body of Chantilo Clan’s powers, then studying Teacher’s insights. With this foundation, looking at the Immortal Emperor’s notes revealed many flaws and naturally felt slightly superior.

“The Supreme Immortal Emperor’s insight might not be lesser than mine! Underestimating him because of this could lead to terrible consequences when facing him!”

He read through the Supreme Immortal Emperor’s notes again, feeling slightly intrigued, “There are three flaws in the Immortal Emperor’s notes, indicating there must be three corresponding flaws in his Divine Communication Skill! Verifying this is straightforward: if his notes on Teacher have flaws, then his notes on the Three Pure Ones and the two Buddhas must also have similar flaws!”

With this thought, he immediately left the hut and proceeded to the hut left by the Three Pure Ones.

Huan Shu and Qing Yang picked a grain of rice, about ten pounds in weight, cooked a pot of porridge, and invited him to stop and eat.

Drinking the porridge, Chen Shi felt a surge of Spiritual Power within, and in just a short moment, his cultivation slightly increased!

Chen Shi was greatly surprised and drank several more bowls, soon finishing that grain of rice.

Seeing him set down the bowl, Qing Yang quickly asked, “Does the True King feel a major enhancement in wisdom?”
