Donghuang Ziji

Chapter 280 Twelve Creeks

Just as he expected, this method of cultivation has also been affected. Many of the concepts in it do not conform to the ideas of the Taiyi lineage, but are the viewpoints of the laws and principles of foreign Taoism. The most amazing thing is that the entry point of the foreign principles is very clever. If Chu Tai himself did not have several inheritances, he might not be able to see it.

“Although I had expected this, I still felt a little emotional when I saw it. Are the laws and principles of the foreign land so corrosive?”

Chu Tai's whisper frightened the monster. He stared at Chu Tai and said, "After reading it, you didn't feel any effect at all."

Then the monster looked at the confused Arnold with a puzzled expression: "Why is he okay too?"

"This is not something you should think about. I should send you away now."

Chu Tai let go of his hand and looked at the monster in front of him, with the light of the sun and the moon shining in his eyes. In the monster's horrified gaze, his finger followed the "edge" and pierced into the monster's chest, ending the other's life while also bringing out a faint spiritual light.

Chu Tai made some hand gestures to attract a little pure energy, making the spiritual light a little stronger, and then he heard a voice.

"Chonglin from Youkanmen, thank you both for saving my life."

Chu Tai looked at the spiritual light and said, "You are too weak now. I don't have a better way to help you. I can only send you to the underworld and use the power of the underworld to repair your essence. But before that, I would like to ask about the current situation of the Youkan Gate."

"What's the situation with Youkanmen?"

Taoist Chonglin seemed a little hesitant. Chu Tai brought out a trace of the spiritual response given by Taoist Master Chonglin, and his spiritual light immediately flickered.

"This is... this is the response from the ancestor... I see. Are you here at the invitation of the ancestor? I will tell you everything I know."

With a flash of inspiration, Taoist Chonglin began to explain the layout and various situations of this blessed land.

"The cultivation method of our sect is based on the "Chapter of the Water Spirits of the Twelve Rivers, Nine Rivers and Eight Rivers", so the layout of the blessed land also has the layout of the Twelve Rivers Pearl Palace, the Nine Rivers Pearl Palace and the Eight Rivers Water Palace. This is the Minshan Lingxi Pearl Palace, one of the Twelve Lingxi Pearl Palaces."

"The next are the eleven Lingxi Pearl Palaces, namely Wuyun, Wuling, Zhuluo, Tongbai, Kunlun, Dangzhong, Mianchi, Qingyuan, Huansha, Wuxia and Di. Each palace has a garrison, and their cultivation is almost the same as mine. According to the classification of our Taiyi lineage, they are all sixth-rank cultivators, but they are equivalent to fifth-rank cultivators in these twelve Lingxi Pearl Palaces."

"The monks stationed in the Nine Rivers Beique and Eight Rivers Water Palace are higher than us, the Twelve Creek Palace Masters. They are fifth-grade monks, and in the corresponding Beique Water Palace, they can obtain the corresponding Dharma blessing. They are first-rate among the fifth-grade monks."

"Further up is the Water Master's Spiritual Hall, the central part of the blessed land. It is usually the place where the head of the sect practices, and it is also the core place of inheritance."

"Now, all of us twenty-nine people from the twelve streams, nine rivers, and eight rivers have been affected by the principles of the Tao of the Great Heaven. Some of our situations are mild, some are severe, and mine is considered to be one of the milder ones."

"Among the twelve streams, Wuyun, Wuling, Kunlun, Mianchi, Huansha and Wuxia are the most seriously affected. You can try to borrow the road from Lingxi Pearl Palace in Dangzhong, pass through Beique in Zijiang, turn to Shuifu in Fuhe, enter the Spiritual Palace of the Water Division, and seek inheritance."

"By the way, I have some Spiritual Roots and Amrita Fruits in the Lingxi Pearl Palace in Minshan. You can take them away as proof."

After saying this, the spiritual light around Taoist Chonglin dissipated and merged into the void. Chu Tai reached out and dissolved the other person's body, collected the remaining fragments of the Taoist fruit, and followed the other person's instructions to find the nectar fruit that looked like a peach tree, with vitality surging on it, stirring the water light around it.

He stretched out his hand and a clear light fell, which turned into a cloud of light to hold it up, and then turned into a peach branch with peaches hanging on it. He handed it to Arnold and said, "This thing has not been affected too much. You can hold it in your hand. If you encounter danger, this thing will protect you a little."

After saying this, he followed the water and turned into the Lingxi Pearl Palace in Dangzhong.

The layout of this palace is similar to that of the Lingxi Pearl Palace in Minshan Mountain, but the figure standing in the central pool of water is not half-human, half-snake, but a "female fairy" wearing a crown of flowers, a light yellow Liuxian skirt, and holding a Yaoqin.

Chu Tai could see that this person was originally supposed to be a man, but under the influence of the Dao Fruit fragments, his essence was reversed and turned into a female.

But there is no big problem with his condition, the yang energy inside has not been completely cut off, and the whole person is still on the dividing line between yin and yang, so it is difficult to define him as simply male or female.

At this moment, the "female fairy" was sitting cross-legged above the mist, playing music softly.

The jade fingers plucked the strings of the zither, drawing out pieces of scattered spiritual light, stirring up the mist in all directions, making it circle around itself like a dragon circling.

He turned to look at Arnold and whispered, "Ganlu Xianshi? I had a feeling before that Chonglin was gone..."

The "female fairy" whispered in a low voice, like a stream washing over rocks or drizzle falling into the woods, naturally and full of overlapping feelings. Listening to it, Chu Tai could feel a lot of her insights into the practice of "The Chapter of the Water Masters of the Twelve Creeks, Nine Rivers and Eight Rivers".

Chu Tai bowed his hands, manifested the spirit of the ancestor, pointed at Arnold, and said: "This child is also a member of Youkan Sect and has the right to inherit the Taoist tradition. Please help guide the direction of Zijiang Beique."

"Zijiang Beique? I see. You want to go from Zijiang Beique to the Fuhe Water Palace and enter the Water Division Spiritual Palace. This route is indeed much safer, but you also have to be careful. The master of Zijiang Beique has been losing control of his emotions over the years and may not be as easy to talk to as me. Go quickly."

As the "fairy" spoke, she stretched out her hand and waves surged, opening up a new path. Chu Tai asked Arnold to salute her, and then pulled him away quickly.

As soon as Chu Tai and the other two left, a raging fire appeared. The Yellow-browed Monk walked in with another person. When they saw the "female fairy", they scolded her, "Hey, there is actually a cultivator like you who is a little bit intelligent here. Well, you can offer me your harp and show me the way, and I, the Buddha, will let you go."

Upon hearing this, the "female fairy" sneered: "Master Buddha? A mere fifth-rank cultivator dares to call himself Master Buddha?"

As he spoke, water waves surged and turned into streams of light that surrounded his body, like a vast Milky Way falling from the sky. His jade fingers plucked the strings of the zither again, and the invisible sound waves drove the misty air, which turned into sharp blades and fell, pointing directly at the vital points of Huang Mei Toutuo's body.

"Hmm? It seems that you want to drink the wine instead of accepting it!"

Upon seeing this, the Yellow-browed Monk flew into a rage. He raised his hand and released two golden cymbals, which collided in the air, making the same loud noise and shattering the water mist. At the same time, flames flew around and turned into dragons and snakes circling, trying to burn the "female fairy" to death.

As Chu Tai left, Arnold sensed the changes behind him and pulled Chu Tai aside, saying, "Senior, what happened to that senior? I seem to have sensed what happened there. Can we go and save her?"
