Chapter 184: Immortal Path

Chunyi's statement that he had just entered the sixth level was not a lie. He might even have said too much. He had just achieved the sixth level.

In the past, when he was a casual cultivator, he did not have much contact with the cultivators from the outside world. He would either look through the family inheritance alone, or find a place to observe the stars and do divination alone.

In the past, the highest level of cultivation he had encountered was a sixth-rank cultivator from a side sect. He had divined that the other person had ill intentions and was the kind who needed to be avoided.

This also led to Chunyi not knowing much about the world of cultivation and not knowing whether his condition was normal.

When I met a senior who had a high level of cultivation, who was able to condense the laws of mountains and rivers while giving back to the mountains and rivers, and who seemed to have a very good personality, I couldn't help but ask him questions.

Chu Tai did not respond immediately to Chunyi's question. After all, Emperor Chiwen's identity was somewhat special. In the classics of Taiyi Jinhua Sect, he should be classified as one of the Daluo Tianxian.

But on Chunyi's body, Chu Tai vaguely felt some traces of foreign Taoist principles, or Taoist fruit fragments.

The cautious Chu Tai asked the other party about some of his insights into cultivation, and asked him to perform one or two inherited techniques.

Although Junyi was surprised by Chu Tai's question, he still chose to trust Chu Tai.

He waved his whisk and whispered, "Brother, look, this move of mine is called the Red Text Five Thunder Method, which is a secret method in the "Red Text Emperor's Universal Compassion and Salvation Method". It can mobilize the power of the five thunders of heaven, earth, dragon, water, and community."

As he spoke, Chun stepped on the Tiangang, pinched his fingers and chanted a spell: "The Emperor's red text, the five spirits are respected. The Taiwei is shining, the eight gates are illuminated... The sky thunder is faint, the ground thunder is rumbling, the dragon thunder rolls on the water, the water thunder waves are rolling, the community orders the fire thunder... Thunderbolts are intertwined, the machine is launched, capture the evil spirit... Hurry up and obey the command!"

With every move he made, the red-robed deity behind Chunyi also made similar movements.

The hand gestures changed, and eight characters of spiritual seal flew out, with eight corners hanging down and light flowing. A lot of vital energy gathered together, forming clouds and mist, which derived into thunder, and then performed five thunder changes between the sky, earth and water.

'These energies don't seem to be completely influenced by spells and true qi, and they feel like they are innate.'

Chu Tai frowned. He could see that half of Chunyi's spellcasting came from his talent in controlling Yuan Qi.

This is a kind of flying talent similar to the Taoist fruit fragment [Flying Immortal] in Chu Tai's hand.

Chu Tai used his ability as a magician to analyze spells and magical powers, and found that the other party's state was a little similar to the way he analyzed him.

The difference is that Chu Tai's method of analyzing the opponent should be based mainly on Dao Fruit fragments, supplemented by his own abilities.

"And this fellow Taoist uses his own magical powers as the main force, with the power of the Dao Fruit fragments as the auxiliary force, or is this a characteristic of the altar lineage he practices?"

Chu Tai was a little unsure as he did not fully understand the practice of the Fatan lineage.

What he could be sure of was that the Fatan lineage was one of the few cultivation methods in the world that was closely related to the ancient Shinto, and it was also a relatively orthodox method of cultivation for the immortals in the world. It was like the magic spell could borrow the power of the Daluo Tianxian Zhen, draw the vitality of the surrounding heaven and earth, and form the effect of magical skills.

The cultivators of the Dharma Altar lineage, when they reach the sixth level, will form a Dharma Realm within their bodies, worship some gods condensed from their own spirits, imitate the power of the gods, and drive the authority and supernatural powers.

Therefore, most of the cultivators of the Altar lineage like to build temples on certain mountains and spiritual veins, and then preach in the world, gathering essences from all directions under the altar, harmonizing the human essence of the world, and constantly cultivating gods.

Theoretically speaking, after the cultivators of this Tao have cultivated the power of the gods to a certain degree, they can then sympathize with the immortals in Daluo Heaven, practice Taoism on their behalf, and then transform themselves little by little, and attain the middle or upper Tao fruit of the Tao of the immortals.

Therefore, Chu Tai could not figure out whether the problems with Taoist Chun Yi were caused by his being contaminated by the Taoist principles and laws of foreign lands, or were the characteristics of the altar dedicated to Emperor Chiwen.

Chu Tai, who was unaware of the problem, chose to tell Chunyi what he knew.

Knowing Chu Tai's previous doubts, Jun Yi was relieved. He smiled and said, "So that's the question. I thought it was something else."

Chu Tai heard this and asked curiously, "As far as I know, isn't the Central Plains quite repulsive to the power of Dao Fruit fragments from foreign lands? Or is it the special magical power of your lineage, Daoist friend?"

"So, Brother Dao, you are not originally a cultivator from the Central Plains!"

Junyi was first surprised at Chutai's origins, and then explained the reasons.

"If it was sixty years ago, I might still be worried about my condition, but now I don't have to, because a special cultivator appeared in the Central Plains. His name is Yang Wenjing, and he calls himself Taoist Qingli. It is said that he is the descendant of a defeated nobleman."

"Back then, when his family fell, everyone thought he had died in a corner. They never expected that he was plotted against and his cultivation was abolished, leaving him half dead. He wandered the streets, suffering from the eight sufferings of the world, and his mind became increasingly extreme. However, he gradually realized some wonderful methods from the eight sufferings and practiced Taoism again."

"Later, about eighty years ago, when this Taoist friend Yang was trying to achieve immortality again, he was plotted against and surrounded by others. He had no choice but to swallow a piece of Dao fruit fragment before breaking through. It is said that it was in that Dao fruit fragment that Taoist friend Yang witnessed the suffering of all living beings and realized a way to turn suffering and evil into compassion. He made a great wish to all living beings in the world, wishing to follow the way of the God of Wealth and give alms to all living beings."

At this point, Chunyi was quite amazed and said, "That incident caused quite a stir back then. Many famous immortals and earthly immortals in the Central Plains came out in person to try to kill this Taoist friend Yang. And this Taoist friend was also a ruthless person. He became more and more courageous as he fought. Not only did he kill everyone who came, he also spread his ideas along the way. The place where I used to live was a very remote area in the Central Plains, but there were people who believed in him."

"Relying on this huge number of believers, this Daoist friend Yang achieved the fourth-grade heavenly realm in less than 30 years. He also overpowered many of the people who took action back then, forcing them to admit that the cultivator who held the Dao Fruit fragment was also a righteous cultivator."

"Although there is still some prejudice against people who hold Dao Fruit fragments in the Central Plains today, as long as you are not the kind of person who is seriously affected by Dao Fruit fragments or your true Qi is obviously distorted, everyone will turn a blind eye. Not many people will care about these things."

Chu Tai couldn't believe what he said, and asked in surprise, "Is there such a thing? Is he really capable of suppressing so many cultivators in the Central Plains? As far as I know, although the fourth-grade celestial being is considered first-rate in the Central Plains, he is not invincible."

Hearing this, Chunyi shook his head and said, "I don't know about that. I don't know much about the outside world. The reason I cared about this matter back then was because there were obvious changes in the stars in the Central Plains at that time, which prevented me from observing the stars normally for several months. That's why I asked someone to investigate the reason. As for the specific reason behind it, I really don't know."
