Chapter 310: Mu Jing's Fate
Chu Tai's desire to cause trouble for Ancestor Haha meant that he didn't hide much when Si Shubai asked him about the specific circumstances of that year.

"There are no detailed records of what happened back then. We only know that Patriarch Haha paid a huge price for it. However, the result was that he successfully condensed a third-grade true qi, and his ability to make Nuo masks was improved to a certain extent."

"Haha, the ancestor's ability to make Nuo masks did show a rapid change after a certain point in time. I originally thought that he had a breakthrough in his cultivation. Now it seems that it was because of the treasure in Daluo Heaven? However, your statement is indeed closer to reality than the speculation of a breakthrough in cultivation. His strength has long reached its limit, and there should be no room for improvement."

"But since Haha Patriarch can succeed, why can't Wutai Taoist do it?"

Si Shubai's last question made Chu Tai silent for a moment before he gave the answer he knew.

“Haha, the ancestor has practiced for more than ten thousand years, and after the destruction of the future path of witchcraft, he has never thought of ascending to Daluo Heaven, otherwise he would not have stayed in the human world.”

Chu Tai did not continue speaking here, but Si Shubai had already roughly understood what he wanted to express.

First of all, the level of magical power of Haha Patriarch is not on the same level as that of Wutai Taoist. Just in terms of the level of magical power, ten Wutai Taoists put together may not be able to compare with half of Haha Patriarch.

Secondly, as the successor of the witch art, Ancestor Haha has the accumulation of the witch art's luck, and in the process of its evolution over the years, the witch art has already acquired a certain degree of independence.

Combining the two, it can be seen that Patriarch Haha represented the witchcraft and absorbed a treasure brought down from Daluo Heaven.

But if it is Wu Dao who truly carries the treasure of Daluotian, then why is it that after Ancestor Haha, Wu Dao still has no successful successor?
Finally, when Chu Tai was describing it, he specifically pointed out that it was because of this that Patriarch Haha successfully condensed a third-grade true Qi. He also pointed out a question: why could such a good senior Wu Dao condense a third-grade true Qi?
Si Shubai figured it out a little, but more questions arose. She couldn't help but become worried, and began to want to go back and look through those books to find out about Old Ancestor Haha's current condition, or ask someone to find out about Old Ancestor Haha's condition.

But before he left, Chu Tai asked the other party another question.

"Is there any news about Hong Yue now?"

"What are you doing with him?"

Si Shubai was stunned for a moment, then he reacted.

"That's right. Next, your Taiyi lineage should continue to revitalize itself. Given your relationship with Hong Yue, he is likely to become your calamity. If you can resolve it in advance, you can avoid a lot of trouble. The latest news I received is that he recently appeared near Jishan."

"Jishan?"

Chu Tai frowned slightly, the name sounded familiar. After thinking for a while, he remembered that this place was the mountain range near Baishi Lingjing, the Taoist temple opened by Taoist Mu Jing himself.

Thinking of this, Chu Tai's mind moved slightly, and "fate" gathered around him. He counted with his fingers and found that Taoist Mu Jing was actually at the critical moment of life and death.

Chu Tai, who discovered this, hurriedly used the [Mountain and River] magic to pursue. On the way, he gradually changed his breath, maintaining his previous posture, and his cultivation also began to be restrained, pretending to be a sixth-grade cultivator.

When they arrived near Ji Mountain, Chu Tai observed carefully, followed the earth veins and water vapor, and found the place where Taoist Mu Jing practiced near Baishi River. He felt the breath of gold and water flowing inside and frowned slightly.

"Although I had heard about it at the beginning, I didn't expect that the environment that Daoist Mu Jing was in was even worse than the rumors."

He stood by the river and looked towards the source of the water vein. There was a lot of inferior gold and iron in the mountains, and gold gas leaked out every moment, causing the Baishi River to be filled with gold gas. The Taoist temple of Mu Jing was named Bai Shi, which obviously borrowed the luck and inspiration of the Baishi River. Regardless of how much inspiration Taoist Mu Jing borrowed in the end, the luck borrowed by this name was also biased towards gold and iron. He was a wood immortal, practicing in a temple with a strong smell of gold and iron, which was really asking for trouble.

But Chu Tai looked around and looked at the surrounding ground veins and energy, and suddenly understood why the other party did this.

Because of the existence of the Baishi River, gold energy was drawn out from the mountains, and the nearby land was overly rich in gold energy. Not only was there little vegetation on the road, but the soil in many places was as hard as gold and iron. Not to mention ordinary people coming to open up the land, even if it was mechanical creations, it would be difficult to split the soil and release the gold energy to use it as farmland if the supporting equipment was not strong enough.

But in the middle and lower reaches of the Baishi River, you can see lush vegetation and fruitful farmland.

Looking from afar, you can see many farmers driving various machines, working in the fields, combing the earth's veins and energy, guiding the gold energy to leak out, and allowing crops to grow better.

Chu Tai followed the changes in the earth veins and walked towards the direction where the Jia and Yi wood energy was most abundant. The closer he got, the fewer rocks Chu Tai saw. The land also changed from its original grayish white to grayish yellow, and then the color gradually deepened to the point of being almost black.

"The ground energy is much more fertile than I expected. The metal and iron energy is thin, slightly inferior to the wood energy. It seems that Daoist Mu Jing established a temple here to sort out the ground veins and neutralize the metal energy to facilitate the survival of the people here?"

'That's right. The Dharma that Fellow Daoist Mu Jing has achieved is the [Yunlin] Dharma. Although it is said that the forest is as vast as blue clouds and as luxuriant as blue clouds, it is a Dharma that is dominated by vitality and vegetation. If it can open up a paradise on earth in this place where the golden energy is flourishing, its Dharma will inevitably undergo a qualitative change with its actions.'

'But it seems that the ground veins here are still lacking a fire energy to neutralize the other four elements, plus a ground energy to guard the center and organize it. Why doesn't he invite the other few scattered people to reshape the ground veins? '

Thinking of this, Chu Tai looked around again and found that this was actually a place of no fire.

The west is the source of the Baishui River, where there are mines full of gold and iron. The gold energy rises to the sky and is fed back by the water energy. The gold and water are generated, the wood energy is cut off, and the fire energy is suppressed.

In the north is a large pool connected to the Baishi River. It is mainly composed of water vapor, but it is supplemented by metal energy. The blending of metal and water makes it difficult for wood energy to survive and fire energy to rise.

The south should have been an area of ​​rising fire, but no one knew what happened in the early years. Chu Tai could only see a rampant evil spirit and a mixed dry air surging underground. If it was rashly stirred, there would probably be no living creatures here for a hundred years.

The last east is where the Bai Shi spiritual realm is located. It attracts vitality from the east, suppresses the dryness from the south, purifies the evil spirits, combs the moisture from the north, filters the gold energy, and turns into the Middle Earth, but it is also difficult to stimulate the fire energy.

Also, because the vitality of the East fed back to the North and the South, Chu Tai did not immediately discover the problems in the two places.

Now that he sees the problem clearly, Chu Tai understands Taoist Mu Jing's concerns.

'With the character of Taoist Zhengyang, seeing the layout of this place, he will inevitably compete with the ground veins and the earth energy here. If he is more rational, he may spend a hundred years of hard work to refine a corresponding magic weapon to suppress the ground veins here, sort out the evil spirits, transform the fire energy, roll the earth energy, and fertilize the land. In serious cases, he will directly confront the ground veins and polish the earth energy with magic power. Although this method will be faster, it is also easy to cause the earth energy to backfire. By then, his cultivation will be exhausted, not to mention further progress, and the current magic power may not be able to be maintained.'

'Rather than harming Taoist Zhengyang who might suffer a backlash, it would be better for Mu Jing to stay here and polish the earth veins for decades. When Taoist Zhengyang's cultivation level improves and the conflict of the earth veins here is less, he can be invited here to guide the fire energy, neutralize the earth energy, and fertilize the land. However, what Taoist Mu Jing is doing now is a good deed for Fuze.'

'In terms of humanity, it is to save all living beings. In terms of the earth, it is to tidy up the land. The land and people are in harmony. The destiny favors us. Why does the fate of life and death appear? '

Thinking back to the reason why he sensed the calamity in the first place, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart: 'Could it be that Daoist Brother Mu Jing's cultivation has improved, and that fellow Hong Yue has turned into a human calamity...'
