Chapter 171 The Cute Head of the Earthly Evil
Guo Shan's straightforward approach made Lord Feiquan and Lord Mingxia nod their heads repeatedly.

But the two were both relieved and helpless that Guo Shan did not take any follow-up action. Feiquan stepped forward and gave Guo Shan a demonstration.

"For this kind of enemy, even if we have to send their souls to the underworld, we must be on the safe side and conduct a thorough inspection. At the same time, since we don't have many resources on hand, it is also necessary to plunder the supplies left behind by others."

As he spoke, Feiquan used three or four kinds of magic to examine Xie Hongfei's body, breaking three or four strange spells that would only work after death. He stopped only after he was sure that there was no problem.

Then, Feiquan found out the many magic weapons and some other things that might be hidden on Xie Hongfei's body, and placed them in front of Chu Tai and Guo Shan.

"This guy seems to be quite confident in his cultivation. He didn't leave any strange methods on himself, so it's not difficult to clean up. Moreover, this guy is quite proud and even brought all the cultivation methods with him. This is also good. It will be easier to sacrifice and modify the magic weapons he left behind. However, you can just take a look at the specific cultivation methods and magical powers, don't really practice them."

"why?"

Guo Shan asked curiously, and Chu Tai beside him explained: "Because it is not necessary."

"If the intentions of these methods obtained from others are not high enough or the system is not complete enough, we can directly dismantle the cultivation methods and magic skills contained therein and extract the parts we need from them to create better methods that are more suitable for us."

"Those methods with high aspirations and complete systems must have their own inheritance system and their own karma and responsibility. If we rashly learn them, we will inevitably be contaminated by these things and be swept away by fate without knowing it, and have to face many problems that we didn't have to face before."

While talking, Chu Tai was also observing the method he learned from Xie Hongfei.

From the perspective of the Dao Fruit Fragment's [Matchmaker] ability, Chu Tai could see that the "fate" and "energy" of these methods were very peculiar.

Some of the "fate" and "qi" that are very weak and constantly dissipating are entangled with himself and others.

Some of the "fate" and "qi" that are deeply rooted and closely connected with the Dharma are scattered throughout the heaven and earth, as if they are everywhere.

Finally, there is a part that is connected to somewhere in the dark. The "fate" and "qi" of this part are the strangest, and are related to Chu Tai and the heaven and earth.

Chu Tai had a sudden realization.

Connecting to the "fate" and "qi" of the few of them, it symbolizes the fate between Xie Hongfei and himself. If someone inherits this method in the future, they will also inherit this part of the fate and may cause trouble for Chu Tai.

But this part of "fate" and "energy" is too weak and very easily affected by external forces. Without Chu Tai's attention, it has begun to dissipate.

'That's right. Fate is the connection between people. If there is a clear difference in strength, fate will not work at all. Just like this method, even if someone learns it later, if no one points it out, that person will not know the relationship with Xie Hongfei, and the cause and effect will naturally be difficult to involve me. On the contrary, if I care about him very much, under the guidance of fate, combined with the operation of the three disasters of heaven, earth and man, it is really possible to create a great enemy of mine.'

'Based on this theory, it seems to explain why some people who do not believe in fate are not bound by it. Because belief and trust are exerting one's own power on fate. When fate finally appears, in addition to many external forces, it also contains the power of the believer himself, so it is naturally more difficult to break free.'

Thinking in this way, Chu Tai also felt that he had a clearer understanding of concepts such as fate and karma.

From a certain perspective, the "fate" and "qi" that I see now are closer to the basic information recorded by heaven and earth.

This is also the reason why the "fate" and "qi" in the method will be scattered throughout the heaven and earth. This is the connection that naturally arises between one and the heaven and earth by collecting the vital energy of the heaven and earth after practicing the method.

According to Chu Tai's speculation, without the interference of external forces, these "fate" and "qi" will not have much impact, but once interfered by external forces, "fate" and "qi" will lead to other operating laws between heaven and earth, and produce concepts such as destiny, fate, and disaster that are difficult for people to deal with.

'Our practice is essentially about constantly establishing connections with the heaven and earth, and with the Daluo Heaven. So how do we deal with the good and bad connections? That is also a way to deal with disasters.'

'However, from this perspective, this thing seems to be very suitable for practicing the Earthly Demonic Power Mengtou.'

The more Chu Tai thought about it, the more inspiration he got. His mind quickly jumped from the operation and changes of "Yuan" to Mengtou, one of the 72 Earthly Evil Techniques he had seen before. In most people's understanding, Mengtou is a method of predicting the future, which can sense when something is about to happen and detect something wrong in advance.

But in essence, this magical power is based on the connection between all things. Through the perception of this connection, when signs of things appear, subsequent developments and changes can be foreseen.

In the past, although Chu Tai knew the methods of cultivation, he had never been able to get started.

This jump in thought suddenly gave him the idea that he could learn this magical power.

With a thought, Mengtou cooperated with the perspective of the [matchmaker], allowing a lot of information to appear in front of Chu Tai along with "fate" and "qi".

At the same time, Mengtou allows the [matchmaker]'s perspective to break away from Chu Tai's subjective observation, and be able to view his own "fate" from an objective perspective.

Therefore, many things that had been ignored by Chu Tai in the past were now presented to him.

"So there is this reason?"

Looking at the "fate" on himself, Chu Tai discovered for the first time that he actually carried so many "causes and conditions".

There is the inheritance from Taiyi Jinhua, the Yinjing inheritance from Feiquan and Mingxia, the fate with the State of Chu, the fate with Guoshan, and the fate brought by the numerous Dao fruit fragments.

[Boy] [Wandering Scholar] [Alchemist] [Flying Immortal] These are the powers that Chu Tai has mastered step by step. Although he can still make progress later, the Dao Fruit fragments in his hand have been completely analyzed. He needs to find a way to make further progress.

[Face Reader][Geographer][Matchmaker] These are the Dao Fruit fragments corresponding to "fate". The information inside has also been completely analyzed and can be fully grasped by Chu Tai.

[Announcing the Dawn] [Morning Light] These are the fragments of the Dao Fruit left behind after the transformation of the former Fu Guang Zhen Qi. The power within them had long been analyzed and studied by Chu Tai. Although he did not fully grasp the power within them, Chu Tai was able to simulate most of them or perform similar methods.

[Coroner] [Painter] [Ghost Walker] originated from Corpse Demon and Tianmen. Like the [Crow's Dawn] series, they have not been fully mastered but can be simulated.

In addition, the [workers] and [craftsmen] from the Qingqing world and the [Samanera], [Bhikkhu] and [Monk] who support the Lotus Mother's Dharma image are also the same and can be simulated.

But Chu Tai discovered for the first time that these powers had the property of self-complementation.

Many of the Dao Fruit fragments that Chu Tai had clearly analyzed completely continued to grow without his noticing, and a lot of knowledge actually appeared in his mind naturally as these Dao Fruits completed themselves.

This is especially evident in those who attain the status of [Tranquil One], [Knowledge Seeker] and [Talisman Holder] in the Qing Qing World.

Back then, the Three Mountains Talisman of the Qingqing World was used to refine the Heaven-Mending Stone, and the [Seventh Rank·Talisman Bearer] was therefore demoted to the [Ninth Rank·Tranquil One]. At that time, even the patterns on the [Tranquil One] were almost transparent.

But outside the Qingqing World, Yu Qingtian took a look at him and immediately completed most of it. Now, after more than a year, it is almost complete and is transforming into a [Knowledge Seeker].

This change made Chu Tai recall that after he had mastered many Dao Fruit fragments, the Donghuang Bell concealed his information and kept him at the basic level of the ninth grade.

"Is it to block the influence of fate, or to cut off the influence of the laws and principles of the foreign land on me? Or is it something else?"

Looking into the Donghuang Bell, Chu Tai suddenly had this thought in his mind.
