Donghuang Ziji

Chapter 209 Everyone gets what they need
The Secret Demon Disintegration Technique, as a desperate technique passed down from the magic path, can use oneself as a sacrifice to attract the secret demons of the heavens to come into the world.

Like what Taoist Zi Guang is performing at this moment, he is stimulating the five elements of vitality in the body by sacrificing his limbs and head, attracting the five secret demons, and then using the magic method to deprive the five elements, allowing them to return to the four major changes, stirring up the earth, water, fire and wind. It is extremely powerful.

Chu Tai and others knew that if this method was not controlled and allowed to develop, it would immediately cause the mountains and rivers to collapse and the earth to break apart.

At the same time, the four changes of earth, water, fire and wind will rub against each other under the seduction of magic, becoming more and more intense, and finally causing a series of explosions, enough to destroy all living things within hundreds of miles.

In addition, the secret demons from all over the world who were summoned would also flee everywhere and escape into the five elements. The harm they would eventually cause would be greater than the short shuttle that Chu Tai took away.

Several people cast spells one after another, trying to suppress the subsequent changes of the Secret Demon Disintegration Technique.

During this process, Taoist Cang Xuan had no time to pay attention to the Yunhai Immortal Sou who was knocked hundreds of meters away by him, and hurried over to cooperate with the other four independent people to set up the Five Elements Formation, compressing the magic blood mist derived from the Secret Demon Disintegration Technique, and relying on the Five Elements' vitality to repeatedly flush it, gradually shrinking it.

Chu Tai cooperated with the Goddess of Pure Light to subdue the summoned secret demons from the heavens one by one.

These demon gods who were blocked outside the thunder and fire layer by the ancient holy kings and wandered between the cosmic river layer and the divine network layer all had strange magical powers.

The five secret demons summoned by Taoist Zi Guang have the ability to control the five elements and the five external directions.

But it still had no resistance to Chu Tai's Lotus Mother Dharma Image. It grabbed them out one by one with its Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes, and cooperated with the Spirit Officer's phantom to press them into the Eternal Lamp and burn them with the fire.

The flame of the Sun and Moon Eternal Lamps gradually became clearer, and its ability to refine demons was enhanced.

At the same time, the two demon-refining treasures, the Five Dragon Demon-Slaying Wheel and the Qianyuan Ruyi Heart-Turning Lock, which were used in conjunction with the Lotus Mother Dharma Image, also saw considerable growth during the period of targeting the secret demon.

During this process, the Pure Light Goddess subdued several secret demons, and among the phantoms of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas that she evolved from, she also derived several phantoms of celestial beings.

The Xiang brothers, Taoist Shang Jian, Taoist Li Hong and others who were unable to help cast spells in various places to stabilize the earth's veins and energy to prevent the secret magic disintegration method from connecting to the earth's energy and causing secondary changes.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the five scattered people managed to control the demon blood and reduced it to the size of a fist.

The five people kept waving their flags, and the five elements' vital energy was surging and washing back and forth, but the devil's blood was sometimes large and sometimes small, and there was no change. Only a trace of devilish nature was faintly visible inside, as if explaining why it could not be destroyed.

"With such a demonic nature in one's body, how can one comprehend the Purple Bamboo Dharma?"

The Goddess of Pure Light stepped forward, saw the devilish nature, and sighed.

Chu Tai took a quick look, recalling what he had seen in the past when he saw "Fate" before, and shook his head repeatedly.

"This bit of demonic nature is the result of the paranoia and evil thoughts in Taoist Zi Guang's heart. It is also the evil thoughts she accumulated from practicing magic in the past. After hundreds of years of polishing with the Purple Bamboo Buddhist Rhyme, it has already contained some incredible supernatural powers. Now that it is blessed by the secret demons of the heavens, it is not easy to resolve it."

As he spoke, Chu Tai placed the eternal lamp in front of him and blew on it. A bean-sized flame fell down, and the burning devil blood shrank greatly, leaving only a grain-sized bit of devil nature that was shining brightly.

Seeing this, Chu Tai said, "How about you guys take some losses, and this bit of demonic nature will be my trophy. I will put it into this Sun-Moon Everlasting Lamp, and burn it repeatedly with the two kinds of true fire, the moon and the sun, for a hundred days. It should be completely destroyed, and at the same time, I will have an extra wisp of true fire for refining demons."

Taoist Mu Jing shook his head and said, "Fellow Daoist Taining, please don't joke. Apart from you and Goddess Jinguang, we have no way to deal with this evil spirit. How can we really give you waste as a trophy just because you can turn waste into treasure?"

As he spoke, Taoist Mu Jing stretched out his hand and summoned the magic weapons left by Taoist Zi Guang one by one.

Looking at the purple bamboo branch polluted by the devil's blood and his natal purple bamboo, he sighed and said, "It's a pity that these spiritual roots that have just begun to form the law are now incomplete and lacking Buddha nature. I wonder if you can save one or two of them after you take them back, Jingguang?"

The Goddess of Pure Light reached out and took the two in her hands. After sensing them carefully, she took out several scents, trying to cleanse the filth from them.

The faint fragrance turned into lotus patterns and the Ten Thousand Character Buddha Seal, which were imprinted one by one on the surface of the purple bamboo. But the next second, a ray of blood light emerged from the inside of the purple bamboo, staining the lotus patterns and making the Ten Thousand Character Buddha Seal stained with blood, and finally dissipated.

Among them, the problem with the purple bamboo branch is slightly lighter, while the problem with Zi Guang Taoist's natal purple bamboo is much more serious.

The Pure Light Goddess handed the purple bamboo branch to Taoist Mu Jing and said, "This treasure is less polluted by the devil's blood, and its legal principles are more perfect. You can use the Five Elements Law to cleanse it and remove its evil nature. This treasure is a bit troublesome."

Looking at the Nanhai Purple Bamboo in her hand, which still had some vitality, the Pure Light Goddess looked at Chu Tai and said, "Daoist Fellow Taining, what do you think?"

As he spoke, he handed over the purple bamboo.

Chu Tai did not take it, but glanced at it and said bluntly: "This item has been cultivated by Taoist Zi Guang for hundreds of years. The Buddha nature has been obscured by his obsession. The Buddha charm disappeared after he comprehended the wonders of the tide sound. However, it became one of the foundations of his Dharma. Now the devil nature and Buddha nature are intertwined. If you want to deal with it, you have to take it back and offer it with Buddhist Dharma for a hundred years to reactivate its Buddha nature."

As he spoke, Chu Tai seemed to have thought of something.

"In addition, if you can ask the people of the Putuo lineage to cleanse this bamboo with the superior Pudu miraculous method, the time can be reduced to about sixty years. If you can ask the South Sea Putuo supreme treasure, the Pure Bottle of Amrita, to come, you can let it return to Buddhism in an instant."

At this point, Chu Tai added: "But in this way, this treasure lacks the refinement of Buddhist teachings, and loses the opportunity to transform from Buddha to devil, and then from devil to Buddha. It can be said that it has lost a little possibility of further advancement."

"Fellow Daoist, you have a keen eye. You can see the many problems of this treasure at a glance, and you can also find the solution."

The Goddess of Pure Light smiled and looked at Taoist Mu Jing: "I will shamelessly ask you Taoist friends for this item as my trophy to hone my Buddhist teachings. What do you think?"

Taoist Mu Jing had no reason to refuse, and they discussed how to deal with the remaining magic weapons that were taken as trophies.

The spoils mentioned here are not only the things left behind by Taoist Zi Guang and others, but also allude to the natural treasures that can be obtained in the Zhushan Sect in the future.

Taoist Cang Xuan was the first to say that he had taken more than ten Cloud Sea Mist Blades from the Cloud Sea Immortal Old Man, as well as the Mirage Dragon Spirit imprisoned in the Cloud Sea Mist Wave Flag, and did not need the rest of the spoils. Taoist Zheng Yang gave up the distribution of the spoils because the fight was caused by him.

The Xiang brothers, Taoist Shang Jian, Taoist Li Hong and others spoke up one after another, saying that as local cultivators, they would have subsequent interests after the defeat of the Zhushan Sect and did not seek to gain benefits this time.

Finally, more than one hundred purple bamboo swords with different degrees of damage, the bamboo salt magic weapon that had been collected again, and the purple bamboo branches with the least damage were placed on display.

Among these three items, the most precious is the purple bamboo branch, which is made from purple bamboo from the South China Sea and contains the Taoist Zi Guang's magic. In terms of quality, it is slightly better than the golden chisel axe sealed in Chu Tai's hand. However, it is now contaminated by demon blood and needs to be re-refined for a period of time after obtaining it, so its value has decreased.

The second is bamboo salt. This treasure was made by Taoist Cuizhu through sacrifice and the materials used were first-class. After being collected again, it was unexpectedly not damaged too much. As long as it is washed well, it can be used again. The quality is not inferior to the Jinxuan Danxia Banner in Chu Tai's hand.

The last one hundred or so purple bamboo swords, if taken individually, can barely compare to some magic weapons that have completed a refinement of form and quality. However, due to the limitations of the Zhushan Sect's treasure refining characteristics, the principles of each are incomplete, and at least twenty or so are needed to be combined to be considered a complete magic weapon.

Mo Zhi looked at these things, silently calculated the value, and said: "This matter has something to do with me, so I will not participate in the division. The bamboo salt will be given to Chang Pu, the bamboo sword to Mu Jing, and the bamboo branch to Taoist Tai Ning. What do you think?"

Chu Tai was the first to shake his head and said to Mo Zhi, "That's not right. Actually, this matter has something to do with me. Why don't we divide the Purple Bamboo Sword into three parts, two large and one small. The two large parts are for you and me, and the small part and the bamboo salt are given to Daoist Chang Pu, and the bamboo branch is given to Daoist Mu Jing."

Mo Ji could not accept this plan. He said that as one of the Five Scattered People, he and Taoist Zhengyang caused the subsequent changes and should bear part of the responsibility. Chu Tai was just helping and should not be made to pay the price.

"So, what should we do with the Golden Chisel Destroying Axe? It was agreed that this treasure would only be kept in my hands. Now that the battle has come to this, the ownership of this treasure has become a problem. What should we do with it? You can't just keep it with me forever."

As Chu Tai spoke, he took out the golden chisel-breaking axe that was sealed in his hand.

Looking at this first-rate magical weapon that embodies the principles of law, the eyes of everyone present changed slightly.

The five scattered people looked at each other, and finally Taoist Mu Jing spoke.

"How about this, the Golden Chisel Destroying Axe is also included in the spoils of war and given to Daoist Fellow Changpu to deal with, the Bamboo Salt to Daoist Fellow Mo Hong, and the Purple Bamboo Sword is divided into two parts, one for me, and the other for you along with the Purple Bamboo Branch. Alternatively, the Bamboo Salt can be given to Mo Hong, the Purple Bamboo Sword to Changpu, the Purple Bamboo Branch to me, and the Golden Chisel Destroying Axe to you, but the consequences will be borne by the five of us."

As soon as these words were spoken, the other four wanderers expressed their approval. After thinking for a while, the Goddess of Pure Light also felt that it was appropriate.

In the end, Chu Tai chose the purple bamboo branches and more than fifty purple bamboo swords, put them in his arms, and incorporated that bit of evil into the Sun and Moon Eternal Lamp.

After dividing the spoils, Taoist Mu Jing led everyone to the base previously opened by Taoist Cui Zhu. He was not surprised to see that the place was empty, and went to the base of the Zhushan Sect branch with everyone.

As the base built by the Bamboo Mountain Sect, its branch is also planted with many spiritual bamboos, where spiritual energy rises and vitality gathers, and there are many magical prohibitions intertwined inside, which is quite mysterious.

But in the face of the arrival of several people, there was no resistance here, because when Taoist Cuizhu left, he also sent a message here, asking the local branch to take the disciples of Zhushan Sect away, leaving only a mountain gate, a large amount of cultivation materials that were not suitable to be taken away, and a small amount of natural treasures.

Looking at the well-sealed treasure house, the Goddess of Pure Light smiled and said, "Although the Zhushan Sect is an unorthodox sect, it does have some principles in these matters."

Taoist Mu Jing was also a little surprised. He had actually prepared for the local branch of the Zhushan Sect to destroy the temple and destroy many natural treasures.

Therefore, faced with this intact treasure trove, I was a little unsure of how to react.

Chu Tai stepped forward to take a look, stretched out his hand and pinched it, silently calculated it, and smiled: "It is not necessarily the local branch that has principles, but the Taoist Cuizhu who has principles."

Hearing this, several monks who had communicated with Taoist Cuizhu chuckled.

As for this female cultivator who was pampered in Zhushan Sect, several people could understand her persistence.

Following the previous method of dividing the spoils, Taoist Mu Jing also divided the materials, and after estimating the value of the station here, he handed over the bulk of them to Chu Tai and Jinguang Tiannv.

A small portion was divided among the five of them. What's interesting is that this time, the Xiang brothers, Taoist Shang Jian and Taoist Li Hong only took a few rare treasures they needed from the treasury, and did not take anything else.

Chu Tai looked at the choices made by several people and vaguely understood something. Then he heard Taoist Mu Jing asking if anyone was willing to continue to take charge of this Taoist temple.

After receiving a negative answer, everyone extracted the spiritual energy and vitality condensed in the Zhushan Sect’s headquarters. After each of them took a part, the rest was returned to the heaven and earth by everyone’s spells to nourish the surrounding land.

After doing all this, Chu Tai's Donghuang Bell in his mind shook slightly. He felt that his mind and the scattered vital energy were integrated into the operation rules of the surrounding mountains and rivers, and his mastery of the [Mountain and River] law was also further improved.

In the dark, Chu Tai also felt a slight breath gathering from all directions and being absorbed by the Donghuang Bell.

The light of the sun and the moon appeared in Chu Tai's eyes, and he looked outward with the ability of observing "fate". In a trance, he understood that this was the feedback brought about by his previous efforts with the five scattered people to block the secret demon disintegration method, or it could be said that this was the good deeds accumulated from his action.

During this process, Chu Tai also noticed similar changes in the other people.

Especially the local cultivators such as the Xiang brothers and Taoist Shang Jian, they seem to be more favored by the local land energy.

Part of the vitality and spiritual inspiration that Chu Tai and others returned to the world was converging towards certain areas along with their aura.

Seeing this scene, Chu Tai vaguely figured out some things and had a new understanding of the concept of "mountains and rivers". The legal principles contained in the law expanded from the original appearance of mountains and rivers to the spiritual direction of mountains and rivers.

Feeling something in his heart, he found a place to sit down in the Zhushan Sect's Taoist temple, which had lost 80% of its vitality and spiritual power. While silently digesting what he had gained this time, he took out the many resources he had obtained, intending to refine the magic weapon in his hand again.
