Zhong Wuwang was right outside Despair Slope in Heavenly Dao City, very close by. When Immortal Kou arrived at the bridgehead of Red Frost River, he saw Zhong Wuwang still standing on the bridge, with a slight smile on his face, staring pensively at the flowing water below as if lost in thought.

"Wuwang has internally harmonized with the Immortal Dao, achieving what others cannot, already rare under the heavens."

Immortal Kou stood quietly on the side for a moment. When Zhong Wuwang returned to his senses, he walked forward with a smile, saying, "Your cultivation achievements will surely far surpass mine in the future, even beyond Heavenly Venerate."

Zhong Wuwang hurriedly saluted him, "Disciple greets Uncle Master Kou!"

Immortal Kou waved his hand and said with a smile, "Now you need not call me Uncle Master. You are in the Heavenly Immortal Realm, as am I, only earlier by a few days. Just call me Daoist Kou."

Zhong Wuwang hesitated, and Immortal Kou smiled, "This is the rule of Despair Slope. Daoist Wuwang, you are now the first immortal of the new method. Can this method be passed on to the world?"

Zhong Wuwang said, "It cannot be passed on. This method requires possessing an Innate Dao Embryo, refining one's own Void Great Realm. Other Divine Embryos, first, cannot refine themselves, and second, cannot achieve perfect innocence."

Immortal Kou was slightly disappointed and murmured, "If that's the case, you are not the patriarch of the new method... Recently, things around you are probably not peaceful; let me walk with you."

Zhong Wuwang knew he was concerned about his safety and felt touched, saying, "It's okay not to be the patriarch, as long as I become the strongest first immortal."

He smiled slightly, feeling very peaceful inside, and said, "Chen Shi's outer body cultivates the old method to cross the tribulation, but he only refines the Primordial Spirit into the Immortal Dao, merely crossing from the Tribulation Crossing Realm to the Ascension Realm, never achieving Harmonization. His primary body's realm is even lower, just Refining God. Chen Shi passed on the method to his four disciples, and they succeeded in crossing tribulations with the new method, only refining the Primordial Spirit into the Immortal Dao, also Ascension Realm, but never Harmonizing. As for others, they are even less accomplished, far inferior to me."

Immortal Kou walked alongside him, leaving Heavenly Dao City, curiously asking, "You have become the first immortal of the new method; how has your cultivation power progressed?"

Zhong Wuwang said, "I now base on the Innate Dao Embryo, refining the small world within, harmonizing with myself, forging an Immortal Body and Immortal Dao. My cultivation power is incomparable to before."

The two reached outside the city. Immortal Kou extended a hand, smiling, "Use all your strength, face me with one palm."

Zhong Wuwang raised his right hand, meeting his palm, exerting full power. The collisions of their mana caused Immortal Kou's body to sway slightly, showing surprise, and he praised, "Wuwang, you are a true immortal; your cultivation is impressive, in ten years at most, you can surpass me!"

Zhong Wuwang exerted his full strength, only making Immortal Kou sway slightly, he couldn't help but admire his cultivation.

"Uncle... Daoist Kou, I have something to ask."

Zhong Wuwang said, "Which Heavenly Immortals or Heavenly Dao Practitioners from Despair Slope are from the Great Shang Era?"

Immortal Kou thought, "There are indeed Heavenly Immortals from the Great Shang Era... Feng Ruotong is one from that era."

Zhong Wuwang was startled, "Heavenly Venerate didn't eradicate the Shang people?"

"And one more, the Heavenly Venerate."

Immortal Kou said, "Heavenly Venerate is also an immortal from the Great Shang Era. I came to Despair Slope early, the third to enter, at that time Feng Ruotong welcomed me and accepted me as a disciple. Later, more people gradually joined Despair Slope. I am also a Shang person, but a descendant."

Zhong Wuwang said, "So was Immortal Feng a minister of Great Shang? Did he see the Emperor of Great Shang?"

Immortal Kou shook his head, "That, I cannot know. Seeing you so curious, why don't we seek Daoist Feng and ask him? Why are you so curious about Daoist Feng?"

Zhong Wuwang hesitated, not revealing Chen Shi and Yang Bi's speculations about Heavenly Venerate, smiling, "I met some Shang people, that's why I am intrigued by that history."

"The history of the Shang people is mostly lost, maybe Immortal Feng knows, but he never told."

The two walked and talked, Immortal Kou cultivated into a Heavenly Immortal for over ten thousand years, accumulating rich experience, guiding Zhong Wuwang, making his cultivation power soar.

The two chased into the underworld, searching for Feng Ruotong's whereabouts. Inadvertently, many days passed, and they came to a place heavy with Demon Qi, with many demons appearing around, powerful, emitting monstrous Demon Qi.

They even saw several Huo Dou appearing, preying on other demons.

Immortal Kou summoned nearby Heaven Listeners, yet none were around; they must have been eaten by the demons.

They found traces of battle left by Feng Ruotong and others. Immortal Kou inspected them briefly and said, "They must have encountered a demon ambush here."

The two tracked the battle traces, gradually delving into this Demon Domain, walking unknowingly far. Immortal Kou inspected the traces all the way, suddenly felt his heart skip, and said calmly, "Wuwang, we took the wrong turn. This way."

Zhong Wuwang was a little surprised, following him, yet Immortal Kou didn't follow the traces left by Feng Ruotong and others but walked in the opposite direction.

"Immortal Kou, what happened?" Zhong Wuwang asked quietly.

"I don't know."

Immortal Kou transmitted, "But those divine skill traces left are by no means Feng Ruotong's!"

His eyes flickered, "Feng Ruotong is my master; his Divine Communication Skill is clear to me, this person imitates so vividly, nearly perfect, but the details are inconsistent. They can fool others but not me."

Zhong Wuwang felt a deep shiver inside.

Immortal Kou said, "Someone knows we are looking for Feng Ruotong and deliberately left his divine skill traces to lure us forward, into their ambush circle. We pretend to know nothing, and I will take you away."

The two pretended to be at ease and continued moving forward.

After a while, Immortal Kou stopped, seeing the traces left by Feng Ruotong in front of him, chaotic and disordered.

Immortal Kou's face changed slightly, randomly choosing a path to walk, the further he walked, the heavier the Demon Qi became.

He stopped and picked another path, but it was like before, the Demon Qi grew heavier, and the surroundings became gradually familiar.

He immediately changed paths, but didn't go far before the scenery around once again became familiar.

"Daoist Kou!" Zhong Wuwang whispered.

Immortal Kou sneered, "Our movements were discovered by that person, it seems we must suppress the demons! Wuwang, follow me!"

The two continued forward, the surrounding Demon Qi was profound, shrouding the sky in darkness, with many demon monsters, similar to Huo Dou, appearing and disappearing in the Demon Qi.

After walking for a long time, a village came into view ahead.

This village was very old, its buildings modeled in the style of the Great Shang Era, with many Mysterious Bird Patterns sculpted on them.

This should be the refuge for the Great Shang survivors after the cataclysm.

Immortal Kou led Zhong Wuwang into the village, but saw that the villagers had not undergone evil transformation and were living intact in the village, showing no signs of being a Ghost Clan.

Immortal Kou sneered and whispered, "I am among the last batch of Shang descendants. When I entered Despair Slope, I began transforming into a Ghost Clan myself. I don't believe anyone can withstand the invasion of Evil Qi!"

At this moment, an old man in the village laughed, "You are also a Shang citizen?"

Immortal Kou shouted, "I am a Shang citizen, what kind of monsters are you? Reveal your true form!"

His voice carried the might of the Immortal Dao, and even Zhong Wuwang felt his eardrums buzzing from the shout.

With one shout, the villagers in this village were all killed, their bodies fell sprawling in all directions.

Immortal Kou sneered, "Playing tricks! These people were dead long ago; you're just manipulating their corpses! Show yourself!"

But no one responded around them.

At this time, a large pit came into their view.

From the pit, a ray of blood-colored light shone down.

Zhong Wuwang's heart skipped a beat; following this ray of blood-colored light, he looked up and saw the broken Da Shang Heavenly Court.

Behind the Da Shang Heavenly Court, was the moon shrouded in blood and flesh.

Zhong Wuwang felt his scalp tingle, retreating, trembling, "Daoist Kou, we must leave quickly..."
