Donghuang Ziji

Chapter 344 Past Events

In the cave, after Chu Tai felt that everyone from the outside world had left, Chu Tai asked everyone from the Jinhua Sect to comprehend the method of the spiritual fetus first. He returned to the Dongyuan Palace with an eight-colored Ganoderma lucidum and several spiritual medicines. He stretched out his hand and a ray of Buddha's light emerged, and then a one-eyed monk appeared in front of Chu Tai.

Monk Chu Tai and others greeted each other and after revealing their identities, they stretched out their hands and a golden lotus blossomed beside Master Tianque.

Master Tianque's one eye lit up, and he smiled and said, "What a beautiful Buddha's light lotus! I never thought that fellow Daoist Taiqing has such attainments in Buddhism."

"Master, please don't laugh. My skills are just the tip of the iceberg of Buddhism. If I can achieve something in the way of immortality, it will be a blessing from heaven. How dare I ask for more?"

As he spoke, Chu Tai stretched out his hand, fetched some clean water, and prepared a medicinal tea with the eight-colored Ganoderma lucidum as the core and several spiritual herbs, and handed it to Master Tianque.

Master Tianque took it and sniffed it gently. The almost substantial form had a little more sunshine and vitality. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "What a good way to blend the medicinal properties and spirituality, what a good way to adjust the fragrance to make medicine, which can make me, the incarnation of Buddha's light, also gain something. Daoist friend Taiqing, you are a master in this field. It is really too late for Taiyi Xianmen to meet Daoist friend at this moment. Otherwise, it will be a blessing in disguise."

Chu Tai smiled upon hearing this, and then asked seriously, "When Master Yuntian Taoist was paying respect to you, why did you leave the Buddha's light behind?"

Upon hearing this, Master Tianque also said in a serious tone: "One of the purposes of this trip is to see you, Daoist Fellow Taiqing."

"Look at me? What's wrong with me?"

Master Tianque said solemnly, "Fellow Daoist Taiqing, you may not know that regarding the fate of your Taiyi sect, several immortals from the Emei Sect once worked with several Xuanmen monks and used a treasure of divination to calculate it. During the calculation, they also invited several Buddhist monks to confirm it repeatedly. In the end, they chose twelve Taiyi sects, including Youkan Sect, Jinhua Sect, Tiangu Mountain, and Nanxi Sect."

"Secondly, we also plan to support the seven declining Taiyi Immortal Sects, including the Snow Mountain Sect, the Jueyun Sect, and the Shengxuan Sect. We plan to use them as a foundation to occupy part of the Taiyi Immortal Sect's luck and improve our own foundation."

Upon hearing this, Chu Tai couldn't help but sneer, and said with a hint of sarcasm: "Do you think my Taiyi clan is fat meat to be slaughtered at will? You are eating so happily, aren't you afraid of choking yourself?"

"Don't be surprised, Taoist Taiqing. Although the Emei Sect's actions are inappropriate, they are not evil in terms of heaven and earth. They are even necessary. Thirty-six years ago, I was in a state of meditation when I suddenly had an idea and noticed changes in the heavens. I used the Buddhist meditation method to travel through the thirty-three heavens and silently checked the heavens. I was surprised to find that the future that had been stable a hundred years ago had become confused again."

"Many futures that were not supposed to change much have also become confusing. No matter how hard I tried, all I could see was a blank. Later, I invited several fellow practitioners to join us in combining our Buddhist wisdom and tracing back to the source, and I heard the sound of a bell."

Chu Tai was startled, but his expression remained unchanged as he whispered, "Bell sound?"

"Yes."

Master Tianque nodded slightly, stretched out his hand and pointed, and a round water mirror immediately appeared in the air. The mirror reflected a series of pictures, which were eight or nine illusory human figures overlapping each other.

Seven of these figures are clearly visible with distinct features, but two overlap, making it difficult to determine whether it is one figure or two.

"Taiqing Daoist, please take a look. This is the result that several of us Buddhist monks have worked together to deduce. Afterwards, we silently checked the secrets of heaven and observed the past and the future several times, but we could not find any changes. We have also discussed this matter with several immortals we are friends with. They used the Xuanmen method to investigate and also could not see any changes. It should be that these human figures have been integrated into our great heaven."

"Master, what exactly do you want to say? You might as well say it directly. It's really annoying to beat around the bush like this."

Chu Tai looked at Master Tian Que with an unhappy expression, and Tian Que clasped his hands together.

"Namo Amitabha, well done! Well done! I hope you will forgive me, Taoist Taiqing. My guess is really hard to accept. I have to think it over again and again before I dare to speak it out." "Oh? Master, now that you have seen it clearly, can you tell me your guess?"

Chu Tai narrowed his eyes slightly, somewhat curious about how much the monk Tianque in front of him had seen.

Master Tianque pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "Daoist friend Taiqing, you are one of those figures, right?"

"Not a bad guess, but what is your evidence, Master?"

Chu Tai's question made Master Tianque look a little confused. He pondered for a moment and told the truth.

"First, Fellow Daoist Taiqing, you have disturbed many changes in your destiny along the way. Second, I have calculated your destiny with several immortals from the Emei Sect. All the changes that point to your past life will be covered by a white mist. I have only seen such mist on this person."

As he spoke, Tianque pointed his finger at one of the figures. There was a soft glow around them, with the brightness of the sun and the softness of the moon. There was a thin mist, but it had an aura that obscured the universe.

Chu Tai was stunned for a moment, and instantly realized that this was most likely because he chanted "Yun Zhongjun" and activated the power of the Donghuang Bell, which generated mist and obscured his own destiny.

Master Tianque saw that Chu Tai wanted to say something, so he added, "Finally, everything I showed you, Daoist Taiqing, can't be seen by anyone else except the few fellow practitioners who calculated these figures with me back then."

Having said that, Chu Tai closed his eyes and did not continue to hide anything, but he did not admit it directly either.

He said calmly, "What's next?"

Master Tianque was not surprised by Chu Tai's behavior. He seemed to answer, or as if talking to himself, he said: "If you, Daoist Fellow Taiqing, were a casual cultivator, or if you were a Taoist master who knew the laws and principles of the Great Heaven, I would have to suppress you, or invite fellow cultivators to join me. But now that you have entered the Taiyi Immortal Sect, you are considered a member of the Eastern Heaven. I am here today just to say hello to Daoist Fellow Taiqing and to confirm some things."

"whats the matter?"

Master Tianque stood up, walked to the gate of Dongyuan Palace, looked towards the direction of the East China Sea, and whispered: "We are waiting to see whether Dongji Chenguang Great Heaven and Xianxian Daohua Great Heaven are going to collide again, or whether they will connect and continue."

A golden light flashed in Chu Tai's eyes, and he asked, "Master, do you have an answer now?"

"Yes. Personally, I think there is a high possibility of another collision or partial fusion in the next two days. This is why I invited you, Daoist Brother Taiqing, to help the Snow Mountain Sect. The Taiyi Sect needs a leader to prevent the incident caused by the last Taiyi Master..."

"The master is very compassionate."

After saying this, Master Tianque bowed to Chu Tai and chanted the Buddha's name, "Good! Good! I don't have any compassionate heart at all. It's just that my concentration is not good enough and my mind is wandering."

After he finished speaking, rays of Buddha's light emerged from Master Tianque's body, transforming into golden light specks all over the sky and dissipating in all directions.
