Donghuang Ziji

Chapter 375 Increase Mana

"Think it over carefully. Once you start this, there will be no turning back."

Chu Tai looked at Fei Fei for confirmation again and again.

Feifei just smiled and asked, "If I didn't choose this path, and polished my mana core and cleansed my natal talisman step by step, maybe I could reach the fourth level in three hundred years?"

"Without a great opportunity, it will be difficult for you to enter the fourth rank in three hundred years."

Chu Tai gave an answer based on the information he knew. Fei Fei then asked, "What about six hundred years? Eight hundred years? One thousand years? Two thousand years, or even three thousand years. Will I have a chance to enter the fourth rank?"

"In the absence of other opportunities, if you can suppress your mind, work hard day and night, accumulate virtue and do good deeds, and devote yourself to serving the immortals, you will have a chance to achieve the fourth rank in 1,500 years. There is a certain possibility of reaching the fourth rank in 2,000 years. If you persist for 3,000 years, if nothing unexpected happens, you can directly enter the Daluo Heaven and achieve the body of a fourth-rank celestial being."

Chu Tai's answer made Fei Fei silent for a moment, and she whispered, "But during this period, I must worship devoutly and not make any mistakes. And every once in a while, there may be a disaster that will test me, right?"

"Yes, did Wu Chaoxi tell you this?"

Chu Tai asked, and Fei Fei shook her head: "Fellow Daoist Wu didn't say it clearly, he just asked me to look through some classics related to cultivation tribulations and offerings to immortals. I looked through more than 30 related books in the sect, and there was no record of a cultivator like me who used external forces to achieve the sixth level and successfully became a fourth-level celestial being."

"The only one who came closest to success was more than 3,000 years ago. A certain side sect cultivator, after achieving the fifth rank with great difficulty, devoutly worshipped the Great Luo Immortal. In the end, he used the Great Luo Heavenly Light that descended at the moment of ascension to cleanse his body and purify his roots. He completed the fusion of the three treasures of essence, energy and spirit, and combined the Dharma and the three treasures to build the prototype of his own Dao fruit."

"In my current state, I may not be able to achieve anything even if I practice hard for a thousand years. As for offering sacrifices to the immortals, I can offer them normally, but I cannot offer them devoutly for more than a thousand years, or even two thousand years."

After Fei Fei finished speaking, she looked at Chu Tai and asked, "If I use the talisman made from the Dao Fruit fragments to break through the fifth level, will it affect my subsequent worship of the Immortal and my achievement of a fourth-level celestial being under the Daluo Heavenly Light?"

"No, it shouldn't. But if you have such thoughts, it will be more difficult for you to merge with the principles of immortals in the future, unless your understanding is better than that of immortals."

Although Chu Tai already understood the reason for Feifei's choice, he still informed her of the interests involved.

Essentially speaking, worshipping immortals is not a big problem. This kind of method is somewhat similar to Shinto, or it can be regarded as a designated version of the unity of man and nature. By approaching specific legal principles, more power can be attracted. At the same time, through the fusion of oneself and the object, one can gradually sublimate one's own power and get rid of the shackles of the past.

Upon hearing this, Fei Fei bowed to Chu Tai and reaffirmed her intention to use the talisman to improve herself.

"In that case, then you should stay by my side and practice."

As he spoke, Chu Tai mobilized the power of the cave, with the help of the influence of the Dao fruit fragments, and through talismans, gradually improved Feifei's cultivation.

Feifei herself inherited nearly two decades of cultivation from her ancestors. Later, she practiced outside with Wu Chaoxi and obtained some rare treasures, which improved her cultivation by more than 20 years. In addition, she has practiced in Jinhua Cave for nearly a year, and her cultivation has reached nearly 150 years.

Accepting [Ninth Rank: Tranquility] was not a difficult thing, and with Chu Tai's help, he digested the nearly half-century of cultivation Chu Tai gave him through [Tranquility] in less than a month. Chu Tai gave Fei Fei a month of stability, and then gave her [Eighth Rank: Seeker of Knowledge] filled with mana. Unlike Chu Tai who had the assistance of the East Emperor Bell at the beginning, it was not difficult for her to digest and absorb it.

The "Knowledge Seeker" talisman, which contained a sixty years of cultivation, was not easy to digest for Feifei, who only had three sixty years of cultivation.

As soon as he received the talisman, he went into seclusion in Dongyuan Palace with the help of Chu Tai and the power of the cave.

Mao'er, Guo Shan and Wu Chaoxi, who were concerned about Feifei, came to the door and looked at the surging magic power around Feifei with surprised expressions.

Maoer made the decision immediately and shouted to Chu Tai several times in a row.

Chu Tai knocked on Mao'er's head and scolded with a smile: "Is this talisman so easy to receive? Do you think the magic power in it is all created out of thin air? I injected it into it bit by bit. If Feifei's situation was not special, I would not approve of his choice. You should just practice honestly."

Upon hearing this, the cat immediately lowered its head, meowed softly twice, and said nothing more.

Guo Shan looked at Chu Tai with some concern, asking whether granting him magic power would have any adverse effects on Chu Tai.

"It will have some impact, but it's definitely not as big as you think. The Dao Fruit fragments I have already have a certain amount of mana reserves, plus the blessing of the cave heaven, and the thirty years of cultivation infused with talismans, the Dao Fruit fragments can bear twelve or thirteen years, and the cave heaven can bear six or seven years. The most I need to pay is about eleven years, which is not much."

Chu Tai's answer made Guo Shan feel relieved, but Chu Tai actually concealed something here, which is that he himself could use the Donghuang Bell to help the Dao Fruit fragments restore the magic power stored inside.

As fragments of a high-level Dao fruit, the ninth-grade Dao fruit fragments can recover much faster than ordinary people. Even if they are empty inside without any mana left, with the cooperation of the Donghuang Bell, they can recover thirty years of accumulated mana within a year.

Similarly, even if the eighth-grade Dao Fruit fragments were cleared, it would only take two years at most to recover.

Although the magic power given to Feifei contained a little of Chu Tai's own magic power, Chu Tai had only contributed less than ten years of the ninety years of cultivation corresponding to the [Entering Tranquility] and [Seeker of Knowledge]. For Chu Tai, who had already practiced for thirty decades, it was nothing.

He said this essentially to stop outsiders from asking him for magical powers.

At the same time, he was also a little worried that after what happened before, Guo Shan, after seeing Feifei's rapid progress, would have the idea of ​​not practicing on his own, but relying on the power of the Dao Fruit fragments to improve himself.

As she and he expected, after hearing Chu Tai's words, Guo Shan was silent for a moment and did not continue to ask questions in this regard, but there was a hint of disappointment on his face, indicating that he had previously intended to ask Chu Tai for help.

Although Wu Chaoxi felt that Chu Tai was hiding something, the crow fairy also heard Chu Tai's voice-over and naturally would not make trouble for himself. After confirming with Chu Tai that Feifei was fine, he turned and left.

Only Mao'er was left there, looking at Feifei, then at Chu Tai, as if he wanted to ask for benefits, but felt a little embarrassed. Chu Tai shook his head secretly, patted Mao'er's head hard, gave him a pill to improve his cultivation, and let him go back to practice.
