Chapter 277 Youkan Gate

"Sure enough, the details have long been concealed and cannot be seen clearly."

Chu Tai dispersed the body of the deer-bodied corpse spirit in his hand, leaving only a few fish scales that condensed its thousand-year essence.

After collecting the fish scales, Chu Tai looked towards the direction of Mount Wutai and whispered in his heart: "However, I took this opportunity to see a little bit of traces and roughly guessed the origin of this guy. Feeding the monsters with blood, it seems that the magic method within the Wutai Sect is still quite prosperous..."

As he thought of this, a few more traces appeared on the map in front of Chu Tai, making it easier for him to identify the layout of the Wutai Sect.

Comparing with the Wutai Sect and the Emei Sect, Chu Tai tapped twice at the other six places he might pass by on his way later. After careful calculation, he asked Arnold to help investigate one or two.

Just like before, Chu Tai gave him a piece of purple bamboo leaf, and when they got there, he waited for the other party's reaction.

Soon, Chu Tai successively obtained the Quanquan ghost spirit transformed from the essence of a thousand-year-old crab, Huang Yuantian transformed from the essence of a thousand-year-old plant, Du Chang spirit transformed from the essence of a thousand-year-old mouse, and Tao Nuxin transformed from the essence of a thousand-year-old toad.

These spirits are alien creatures that were formed after the path of the demon race was cut off, and they are not the result of human spiritual cultivation. They may not have great supernatural powers, but each has a unique spirit and peculiar abilities. They can transform into men, children, girls and old women, stand between mountains and rivers, steal the essence of living people, and affect the veins of the earth.

For this kind of monsters, the practice of the Taoist sects throughout the ages has been to guide them to transform into humans and then cultivate the way to immortality.

Or they can be taught the secret method to purify the essence and then transfer it into the human world.

But the Wutai sect did the opposite. They fed Quanquan's ghost spirit, Duchang's spirit and Taonu's new flesh and blood human souls, allowing them to practice with the help of human lives.

Therefore, after these three monsters fell into Chu Tai's hands, they were immediately killed, deprived of their essence, and left with some top-quality materials for refining treasures.

The remaining Huang Yuantian was slightly better off. He just practiced a special practice method taught by the Emei Sect that would affect the earth's veins.

Chu Tai carefully observed the scroll of "Inner Scene Mysterious Roots and Outer Appearance Wonderful Method" from the Emei Sect, and chuckled: "It seems that the Emei Sect still adheres to the philosophy of the Xuanmen Orthodox Way, unlike the Wutai Sect, which said it had joined the Xuanmen but secretly still maintained some of the magic style. The only problem is that this method is missing a part, making it difficult for the monster to leave the place, so it has to stay where it is, stabilizing the earth's energy while also affecting the changes in other surrounding earth's energy."

Chu Tai glanced at Huang Yuantian, who was rapidly weakening and could die at any time after being sealed by him with purple bamboo leaves and taken away from the place of cultivation.

With a flick of his finger, a ray of clear light fell, suppressing the changes in his breath and sending him back to his original place. He left behind a method of visualization and then looked at the map.

Including these four places, Chu Tai has roughly calculated the intersection point of the two influences on the earth veins.

Therefore, after the business trip reached the new destination, Chu Tai said goodbye to Arnold and planned to go there to observe first.

When he arrived at the place, Chu Tai immediately knew the origin of the place that the Wutai Sect and the Emei Sect were fighting for.

The Taoist temple of the Youkan Sect is located in the Qiankan blessed land in Youxi Mountain.

As far as Chu Tai knew, the Youkan Sect specialized in water magic.

He sought to attain the state of immortality and hoped to ascend to heaven and enter the Tongji Palace of Xiayuan.

Some go down to seek the highest level of Taoism as ghost immortals, or stay in the human world to polish the Dharma body of the ghost gods, and some go into the underworld to accumulate good deeds and seek the true talisman of the Purple Palace.

The construction of this Taoist temple is also quite mysterious. It is said that it was where Taiyi Zhenjun preached in the past.

After the departure of the True Lord, the founder of Youkan Sect established a Taoist temple here, enshrined the True Lord's portrait, and gathered the destiny. This made Youkan Sect one of the few sects in the entire Dongji Chenguang Heaven, whose cultivation method stopped at the fifth level, but had a blessed land.

It is precisely this existing blessed land that has allowed the Youkan Sect, which was originally ranked in the middle and lower levels within the Taiyi Immortal Sect, to have more remaining luck than the Yinjing Sect.

"The power is relatively weak, but the luck is not bad. It is normal for Youkanmen to be targeted by Wutai and Emei."

Chu Tai stood outside Youxi Mountain, feeling the vague sense of closeness in the earth veins, and silently calculating the destiny of this vein.

As they are both from the Taiyi school, although his method of deduction is different from that of the Youkan Sect, they are of the same origin. When the sect is destroyed, a lot of information will be automatically opened to him. In addition, the land veins favor him, making it much easier for Chu Tai to deduce than for Wutai and Emei.

Chu Tai could even use this meridian energy to observe the situations of the Emei and Wutai sects.

"There are no fourth-rank monks from the Emei Sect and the Wutai Sect, and they have each found the reincarnation of the former Youkan Sect monk?"

Chu Tai, who figured this out, frowned slightly.

According to the style of Xuanmen since ancient times, the inheritance of sects, Taoist temples, immortal palaces, and blessed lands are all inherited according to the depth of fate and relationship.

For example, in a sect, the highest right of succession naturally goes to the living direct disciple, followed by the elder, then the reincarnated head, and then the reincarnated direct disciple, elder, and disciple...

The rest of the people who helped could get some items as rewards, just like the inheritance and magic elixirs that Chu Tai obtained from the Mingchen Sect.

But the Wutai Sect and the Emei Sect were both somewhat shameless in that after finding the reincarnations of the Youkan Sect's descendants, they would accept them as disciples of a fourth-rank or fifth-rank elder, teach them their own methods, and then let them inherit the blessed land.

Their statements to the outside world were also convincing, saying that the Taiyi lineage was influenced by the principles of Taiyi Zhenjun and that if they practiced only ancient methods, they would be prone to repeating the same mistakes. Only after practicing their methods would they be able to save one or two people when something unexpected happened.

In fact, everyone knew their thoughts very well. While letting the Youkan Sect's heritage continue, they were also thinking of making the Youkan Sect's Youqi Qiankan Blessed Land their subordinate villa.

"So, the veins of this place favor me, is it because the ancestors of the upper realm don't want the inheritance to fall into the hands of others and intervene?"

Chu Tai looked up at the sky. As far as he knew, among all the ancestors of Youkan Sect, less than three had successfully settled in Xiayuan Tongji Palace. Their power was not that strong, and their interference in the human world was minimal, far less than that of Mingchen Sect.

In addition, the demise of Youkan Sect was similar to that of Jinhua Sect. Both were dragged down by Patriarch Taiyi. The sect’s elites were all destroyed overnight, and the temple was naturally closed.

Under such circumstances, Chu Tai even suspected that this favor from the earth veins was the best that the founder of the Youkan Sect could do, excluding some trump cards.

'But this is another great opportunity.'

Chu Tai silently calculated the secrets of heaven. He did not think that when he founded the Jinhua Sect in the future, he would be able to inherit it safely.

The Emei Sect and the Wutai Sect will inevitably intervene, and Chu Tai is not very clear about the current situation within the Jinhua Sect. He cannot predict the subtle changes within the sect's Taoist temple under the influence of Taiyi Zhenjun's laws.

Therefore, the blessed land of Youxi Qiankan was a good rehearsal for Chu Tai.
