Donghuang Ziji

Chapter 279 Water Division

The Youkan Sect is a sect that specializes in water magic, and the Youqi Qiankan blessed land is an extremely huge lake.

Chu Tai, bringing Arnold with him, entered and landed directly in a pearl palace under the water.

Looking up, you can see sparkling pearls hanging on the winding coral trees, emitting layers of precious light.

Chu Tai led Arnold inside and saw a high platform with a gold and jade railing suspended in the air. The center was hollowed out, absorbing water vapor from all directions, turning it into sweet rain and settling into a pool of clear water. Above the waves, there were wisps of mist that looked like dragons and snakes swimming.

Just as he was about to go forward to take a closer look, Chu Tai saw a blurry figure emerging from the water.

"Back off!"

Chu Tai pulled Arnold back two steps, and saw water splashing everywhere.

"Roar!"

Accompanied by a roar, a monster with a human upper body but more than half of its skin covered with scales and a snake tail in the lower body rushed out of the pool, rolling up heavy waves and rushing towards Chu Tai and the others.

With a touch of his hand, clear light emerged from Chu Tai's fingertips, and a lotus blossomed from it. The petals turned, and layers of clear light unfolded like a veil, blocking the waves and the tail that fell like a whip.

Chu Tai looked carefully and saw that every scale on the monster had strange patterns on it, giving off a mysterious aura that made people who saw it feel dizzy.

Many mysteries of water magic appeared in Chu Tai's mind and became the nourishment for his practice, but such changes were obviously not aimed at him alone.

Startled, Chu Tai quickly covered Arnold's eyes and dropped a little energy on the golden beads.

But before Liuzhu could respond, Arnold had already started muttering.

"The Yin Hua shines, the pure Yang is not deficient... The two kidneys' mysterious Qi enter the heart, brewing the Yao Hua Qi... Breathing the Yin mist condenses into clouds, inspiring the spirit to blow into the misty night, and practicing the Kan to form broken jade ice..."

Hearing this, the monster was also stunned for a moment, the beast in his eyes gradually dissipated, and a little spiritual light was restored. He then muttered: "The mysterious energy of the two kidneys enters the heart, brewing the Yaohua Qi... This is the "Twelve Creeks, Nine Rivers and Eight Rivers Water Spirit Chapter", who are you?"

As he spoke, strange patterns appeared on the scales on his body and a mysterious aura gathered and transformed into lines, the meaning of which was exactly the method of practicing the "Spiritual Chapter of the Twelve Creeks, Nine Rivers and Eight Rivers Water Masters" that the two had been reciting before.

Chu Tai only took two glances and then he understood a little bit of this method. At the same time, bits and pieces of foreign Taoist principles and laws appeared in his mind.

However, even with this tiny force, there is no need for the Donghuang Bell to take action. The Dharma Intention of [One] can easily suppress it.

Compared to Chu Tai, Arnold's changes were more obvious. There was water light flowing on his face, and it seemed that some scales were about to condense, but it was difficult to take shape under the flow of golden light. Chu Tai stretched out his hand, and dropped a little mist, covering up some of Arnold's memories. After letting the water light disperse, he dotted the flowing beads.

The golden light on the golden light slowly turned, and Arnold regained his senses. He looked at the monster, not knowing how to answer for a moment, and whispered: "I don't know..."

Afterwards, when Arnold found that Chu Tai beside him had not changed at all, he mustered up his courage and said to the monster, "I just saw the pattern on your back, and somehow I remembered this passage."

"Did you remember it somehow? Haha, I see... Wait... Damn it, I want to..."

The monster panicked and put his hand in the water to feel around for a while. He pulled suddenly and pulled out a crystal clear, peculiarly shaped bone chain. Suddenly, the surrounding water light surged, partially covering its body, and then blood seeped out.

"I roughly know where you come from, and I also know your purpose, but I don't have what you want here." A series of hoarse voices came from behind the water light. Through the water light, you can see a monster that has swelled a lot, struggling to look at Chu Tai.

“From the looks of your aura, you are also from my Taiyi lineage. Although I don’t know how you were able to suppress your own transformation, since you didn’t use it on me, I guess you can’t save me. So just kill me quickly and let me release… ah…”

A mournful wail came from his mouth, followed by bursts of angry roars.

"What are you thinking about? We have finally made it to this day, and you actually want to commit suicide! Are you really willing to leave the sect's inheritance to that loser who has not even gained magic power for two years after reaching adulthood? Didn't you feel that someone else has come in? Only we, only we are the most suitable to inherit the sect... ah ah... are you crazy..."

His hoarse voice returned, but the original voice became much weaker: "Please hurry up, I can't hold him down for too long."

"Don't even think about it!"

Another roar was heard, followed by the sound of chains being pulled and the scene of rolling water.

Arnold looked at the monster in the water with some fear, turned back to look at Chu Tai, and asked: "Senior, what should we do?"

"Will the erosion of foreign laws and principles cause such changes? It seems different from what I have seen in the past."

Chu Tai stared at the voice behind the water light and thought secretly. He had come into contact with quite a few fragments of Tao Fruit, but most of them were not tamed, had not completely completed the alienation, or had been suppressed and could only be controlled partially.

This is the first time I have seen Dao Fruit fragments that are highly overlapping with those of the same cultivator and are almost out of control.

After thinking about it, Chu Tai asked Arnold to take out the heart-protecting mirror, and slightly activated some of the power of "Lord in the Clouds", covering the mirror with a thin layer of mist. After shaking it in front of Arnold's eyes, he asked him to step aside.

Then, he stretched out his hand and the Qianyuan Ruyi Heart Lock flew out, turning into two chains, probing into the water light and locking the opponent.

"This is?"

The monster did not expect Chu Tai to do this. The moment the chain flew into it, he threw out the bone lock. The moment the collision occurred, he was wrapped around by the Qianyuan Ruyi Zhuanxin Lock along the chain and locked up.

Then, he was pulled out by Chu Tai and hung in the air.

"Sure enough, you have completely lost control..."

"How did you tell?"

The monster continued to struggle, allowing the blood in its body to flow out and fall onto the Qianyuan Ruyi Rotating Heart Lock, revealing fine lines that moved on the lock.

"You're not really good at disguising yourself. Although you still seem to be conscious, I've come into contact with a lot of Dao Fruit fragments, and I can tell that your changes are from the inside out. True alienation is not the manifestation of animality. If you truly remain rational, you won't be like you are now, with all the alienated cultivation methods emerging from your body. You're trying to fish."

"Oh, and don't waste your efforts. My Heart-Transforming Lock has been refined by Daluo Tianguang, and its essence contains some characteristics of Tianguang, which cannot be contaminated by blood of your grade."

As Chu Tai spoke, he pulled it hard and carefully observed the scales on the monster's body, gradually figuring out the entire content of the "Water Master's Spirit Chapter".
