Donghuang Ziji

Chapter 286: Continuation of the Inheritance

"Disciple Yu Le, hello to the master!"

When Taoist Yu Le saw the young man, he hurriedly knelt down, his body trembling slightly, as if he had seen something terrifying.

This change startled Chu Tai's heart. The light of the sun and the moon flickered in his eyes. When he looked again, he saw that there were many laws and principles intertwined above the young man. The entire Water Spirit Hall was his domain, and even the entire blessed land was a part of his Taoist temple.

Shifting his gaze, Chu Tai saw the legal principles intertwined in the surrounding pillars, forming the shadows of the other twelve Lingxi Pearl Palaces, Jiujiang Beique and Bahe Water Palace. Except for a few with dim spiritual light, the rest had glowing light, but were suppressed by an even more powerful spiritual light.

Under the myriad of brilliant colors, the spiritual light in each pearl palace, shell palace and water palace was swallowed up and gathered in this spiritual hall.

Chu Tai, who had mastered many Dao fruit fragments, could see clearly that those spiritual lights were the Dao principles and laws of the immortals' transformation of the universe, or the influence of the Dao fruit fragments on the outside world.

The giant dragon under the feet of the young man is the product of the gathering of those spiritual lights.

As for the existence that could achieve this, Chu Tai recalled the information he knew and couldn't help but whispered: "Fourth-grade celestial being?"

Hearing this, the young man above smiled and said, "You have a good eye. You can tell at a glance that I have achieved the fourth-grade heavenly realm. No wonder the Jinhua Sect has chosen me, and the Yinjing Sect and Mingchen Sect have high hopes for me. If my lineage did not have other options, I would want to entrust the fate of the sect to you."

After saying that, the young man waved his hand to Arnold again: "Come up."

As the words fell, a rosy glow rose up, sweeping up Arnold and letting him approach the young man. Chu Tai suddenly stretched out his hand, protecting Arnold behind him, and said vigilantly: "Senior, the principles of Taoism are evident on your body. You may not be able to handle this child getting close to you."

"Well, after living here for so long, I tend to forget that this is also a problem."

The young man looked back at Chu Tai, pinched his long black beard that looked like a carp's whisker, twisted his fingers, pulled off a small section, and let it go, allowing it to transform into a child in the sunset light and appear in front of the three people. He said, "This way, I should be able to take a good look at this child."

As he spoke, he was obviously a child with three heads, but he acted like an adult. He stroked Arnold's cheek and shook his head, saying, "It's a pity that he is a little older and his appearance is a little worse."

While speaking, he looked at Chu Tai again and sighed, "If this boy had even a third of your charm, I would have accepted him. But now that I see you, and then look at him, he is really unbearable to look at."

"Senior, you are wrong. For those of us who practice cultivation, every time we breathe in and out vital energy, we are purifying ourselves, and our appearance will gradually improve. Arnold has a good foundation to begin with, and after practicing for a while, he will be able to have a third of your charm."

Chu Tai opened his mouth, but the child shook his head and retorted: "Oh, I forgot again. Ever since I was influenced by the principles of the Great Heavenly Dao, many of my thoughts and memories have become problematic. I forgot that the appearance I mentioned is not the actual appearance, but a kind of adaptability to the principles of the Dao."

"Although this kid can carry our Taoist methods, in the current environment, he may not be able to adapt to the differences in Taoist principles and laws brought about by the subtle changes in our methods after the transformation of Taiyi Patriarch's Taoist fruit."

Chu Tai frowned slightly when he heard this: "Shouldn't this kind of change be the law of the Tao of the Immortal Manifestation and Great Heaven, adapted to our Dongji Chenguang Great Heaven? Since Arnold's body is suitable for inheriting the Taoism, then we can slowly modify it later. I will also help with this matter, so senior, don't worry."

The child shook his head and said, "It would be great if it were as simple as you said. Besides, you have quite a few problems. You must have mastered a lot of the power of the Immortal Manifestation and the Great Heaven."

As he spoke, the child stretched out his hand. Chu Tai was shocked when he saw this and was about to stop him, but the next moment, a faint Buddha light emerged from his body uncontrollably, and the image of the Lotus Mother was faintly visible in it.

“Yes, her original power should be above mine, but her Dharma purpose is too pathetic. In order to save sentient beings, she lets sentient beings die instead? At the last moment, was she praying to Buddha or blaming herself?” The child looked at the Lotus Mother’s Dharma image and sighed. He pinched his fingers to draw a little spiritual light onto the Lotus Mother’s Dharma image, causing its Buddha nature to fade slightly and its divinity to appear a little more. There were more kinds of flowers around it.

Chu Tai also felt a slight change in the power of the Dharmakāya, but it worked more smoothly.

Just as he was about to thank him, Chu Tai was surprised to find that a child suddenly appeared in front of him, suspended in mid-air, looking into his eyes.

"Sure enough, you have a very high adaptability to the principles and laws of the Great Heaven of Immortal Manifestation and Transformation. What's more interesting is that you can also master the principles and laws of the Great Heaven of Eastern Extreme Chenguang very well."

A strange light appeared in the child's dark eyes. After a while, he exclaimed: "The power of two different worlds coexists well in your body. They both help you to make further progress."

"And there are other things on your body that protect you... um..."

The child thought for a long time, and finally said a little embarrassedly: "Boy, are you interested in inheriting part of the Taiyi Immortal Sect's inheritance?"

"what?"

Chu Tai was stunned for a moment, and probably understood the thoughts of the leader of the Youkan Sect. He immediately showed the spiritual response of the ancestor in his hand, and said that he would help Arnold rebuild the temple.

"That's not all I'm talking about."

The child rolled his eyes when he saw Chu Tai was trying to laugh it off. He said angrily, "I asked you if you are interested in inheriting my lineage. The method I used to achieve the fourth rank is essentially based on the Youkan Sect's method, and incorporates a lot of Xianxian Daohua Datian's power. Ordinary people can't learn it at all. And you are a very good successor."

"If you don't mind, I am willing to help pass it on and sort it out and send it back to Youkanmen."

The child was somewhat dissatisfied with Chu Tai's answer, but he could not say much. He looked at Chu Tai angrily. However, the young man above him lowered his spiritual light, handed the inheritance to Chu Tai, and slowly said: "I separated you, not to let you mess around. Let's take a look at the boy's other conditions. If there is no problem, help him build a foundation so that he can inherit the Taoist tradition later."

Upon hearing this, the child deliberately drew out a long "OK" and then checked Arnold again. After making sure there was no problem, he followed the young man's guidance and entered a pool to cleanse his body.

Chu Tai glanced at the pool of water. It was made from thousand-year-old earth milk mixed with other spiritual liquids and spiritual medicines. In terms of medicinal properties, it could transform a person, rebuild their foundation, and improve their cultivation by sixty years.

Secondly, Chu Tai also saw the child take out the Dream Awakening Pill and clear the fog in Arnold's mind, allowing him to recover some of his past life memories and guide his subsequent practice.

During this process, Chu Tai was called by the young man to his side.

As soon as he approached the young man, Chu Tai felt strong pressure and very obvious erosion of the power of the Dao Fruit fragments.

But these forces are not strong. Even without the protection of the Donghuang Bell, Chu Tai can handle a small part of it by himself.

This ability undoubtedly satisfied the young man. He took Chu Tai into the treasure house under the pool, pointed at the many magic weapons and materials inside, and said, "I was originally worried about how to deal with these things. Now it seems that it is just right to entrust them to you."
