Chapter 160 The Way of Fate

"Not all monks can accept people carrying Dao Fruit fragments walking around freely within their range of activities."

Feiquan God's almost explicit words made Chu Tai hesitate.

Taoist Xunling saw this and said with a smile: "In this case, how about we make a pact?"

"Promise?"

Chu Tai looked back at Taoist Xun Ling, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"A promise about the right path. I will give this treasure to a fellow Taoist who may have strayed from his own path because of me. This fellow Taoist will also make a promise with me that he will stick to his own path and will not..."

Hearing this, Chu Tai smiled. Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, he handed the Ruyi back to Taoist Xun Ling.

"Persistence on a path should not rely on external things, nor should it be guaranteed by agreements. Everyone's path should come from their own perseverance. If you insist on your own path and still need this kind of method, it's too pitiful."

After saying this, Chu Tai bowed to Taoist Xun Ling and then stood up and left.

The moment Taoist Xunling heard Chu Tai's words, he knew what he was thinking. He looked at the Ruyi in his hand and fell silent.

After explaining a few words to Taoist Xunling, Lord Mingxia and Lord Feiquan followed him out in a hurry.

Mingxia agreed with Chu Tai's choice but was a little conflicted. He thought for a while and took out his own magic weapon, Qianyuan Ruyi Zhuanxin Lock.

"If you are going to explore Jinhua Cave Heaven in the near future, you might as well take this treasure with you."

Chu Tai hastily refused: "In order to help me, you have already sacrificed your chance to ascend to heaven and had to follow the path of ghost immortal. How can I take this thing away?"

"Besides, this Qianyuan Ruyi Heart-Transforming Lock is extremely mysterious. It contains a ray of your immortal light of ascension and the spiritual response bestowed by the True Lord Miaoxing. It can be said to be a treasure for your future enlightenment. Take it back quickly."

As he spoke, Chu Tai looked in the direction of Jinhua Cave Heaven and said, "As for the inheritance of Jinhua Sect, I will not be going there in the short term. When my cultivation is sufficient, I should have found a way to deal with it."

Mingxia and Feiquan were still a little worried after hearing this.

Chu Tai smiled and said, "I have already had some intuitions about our chances. Follow me."

His gaze shifted and looked in another direction.

Although Mingxia and Feiquan didn't know what Chu Tai had discovered, they followed him out of trust.

All three of them were accomplished practitioners. Unless they deliberately slowed down, they could walk hundreds of miles in half a day even if they just strolled leisurely.

When the sun set, Chu Tai brought the two of them to a low hill.

The mountain is not high, but it is steep and stretches for hundreds of miles. There are many swamps in the mountain, but no grass grows. As the sun sets, the water vapor becomes heavier and a white mist gradually rises in the mountain.

In the blink of an eye, the fog covered the top of the mountain, rising continuously and gradually merging with the clouds in the sky.

Chu Tai and the other two stood at the foot of the mountain and watched, and saw the mist and clouds reflecting a myriad of colors under the setting sun. The clouds were pure and had no turbidity at all. Before the three of them approached, they felt the surrounding air was clear and refreshing.

"Such a pure and spiritual aura, such a gorgeous glow, I haven't seen such a combination for a long time. I didn't expect that such a pure and spiritual treasure could be born in such a desolate wilderness?"

When Lord Mingxia took a look at the sunset glow, he felt happy and a little nostalgic.

Feiquan Divine Lord looked around and exclaimed: "If I am not mistaken, the spiritual energy here is accumulated in the earth veins. Under the influence of the changes in the earth veins and the celestial phenomena, it surges into the void at the hours of Mao and You every day, combines with the natural wind and clouds, and is polished and tempered by the strong wind, washing away the lead and turning the turbidity into clarity. In a few months, it will be fully developed and transformed into the best natural treasures."

Mingxia continued, "Although this item is not as good as the Ten Thousand Years Warm Jade, it can be a first-class guardian item after a little sacrifice and refinement. Daoist friend is really lucky."

His words were full of congratulations to Chu Tai.

Chu Tai smiled and shook his head: "You two Daoists only want to nurture this thing into a treasure. Have you forgotten that after the collision in the past two days, many roads that the Holy King cut off in the past have shown signs of being connected again? This kind of thing nurtured by heaven and earth may not necessarily turn into a treasure of heaven and earth. Maybe it will show the power of creation and give birth to a spirit?"

Hearing this, they were both stunned for a moment, and then Lord Feiquan began to analyze the situation calmly.

"What Daoyou said is possible, but if you think about it carefully, the possibility of success is not high. Although we are now under the impact of the laws and principles of the foreign land, the many roads that the saint kings sacrificed their own paths to cut off have the possibility of being continued."

"But there is no doubt that the changes brought about by the Saint King's sacrifice still dominate our world. It is definitely not an easy thing for the elves nurtured by the world to be born."

“Although the vitality of this place is rich, the spiritual energy is too pure and holy. It took up too much of the good fortune of heaven and earth during the gestation process, depriving the vitality of this area within a hundred miles. Before it is born, it will encounter many obstacles.”

Upon hearing this, Lord Mingxia thought for a moment and laughed, "So, we are also the human calamity that this spiritual inspiration wants to breed?"

In response, Chu Tai smiled and said, "Daoyou's idea is indeed an angle I have never thought of. But from the perspective of fate, it is really possible."

Chu Tai paused, looking at the place where inspiration gathered, and "fate" began to change constantly to both good and bad.

Chu Tai could vaguely see that if he chose to wait for the inspiration to take shape, he might encounter some cultivators and have some disputes because of the vision of the inspiration's transformation.

From the perspective of "fate", Chu Tai used his own destiny to protect the birth of this elf, and there would be consumption regardless of success or failure.

If it fails, the most essential part of the inspiration will most likely be consumed in the transformation process, and the materials obtained in the end will inevitably be inferior to those obtained by interrupting the transformation at the beginning, which is a huge loss.

But even after success, you may not necessarily get good feedback.

'Protecting the birth of this spirit is like nurturing an offspring. Whether the child will be good or bad, good or evil, depends on the education he receives. In contrast, it seems that interrupting the transformation when it reaches its peak is the best option.'

Chu Tai's eyes flickered as he thought of the white jade hollow Ruyi that Taoist Xunling had given him before.

"But interrupting the growth of a spiritual object is equivalent to destroying the operation of a region's vitality. If I really do this, I will inevitably be attacked by fate and rejected by the earth veins, and the favor of Chu will also be mostly dissipated. Therefore, how to choose is also a very important point on the path of cultivation, whether it is the natural materials and treasures nurtured by heaven and earth, or the gifts and legacy of predecessors."

Thinking of this, Chu Tai took out the Taiyi Changming Lantern from his sleeve and threw it down casually.

A streak of flowing fire fell into the place where the inspiration was. The flames were steaming and the rays of light were brilliant. While steaming the earth's air, it also circulated the clarity and turbidity.
