Chapter 423 The Nine Classes of the Market

"I see... Are you here to kill me too..."

As the thoughts of the Xianyun Sect's leader became more extreme, the glow on her body gradually dimmed, a cold wind accompanied by phosphorescent fire appeared, the auspicious air turned into haze, and dense and continuous sounds of harsh friction continued to be heard in the gray fog.

The damp smell of decay filled the air. The face of the Xianyun Sect's leader began to become haggard and old. The flesh and blood began to fall off his body, revealing a skeleton that was white and crystal clear, more transparent than crystal. His luxurious clothes also decayed, leaving only some silk threads and metals hanging on his body. If he moved a little, they would turn into dust and disappear.

The only strange thing is that the bones exude a faint lotus fragrance.

This smell combined with the damp and rotten stench around it and turned into the strange twelve-fragrance that Shao Siming and others had smelled earlier.

The Eight Music Immortals who had been repaired by the Xianyun Sect's leader before had their flesh and skin peeled off, turning into skeletons. They swayed around the leader, waving musical instruments covered with bones and flesh, playing noisy, harsh, creepy and shrill ghost songs.

"What...what...what is this..."

Feifei was a little afraid. The Dao Fruit Fragment Talisman he mastered had reached the eighth level [Knowledge Seeker]. His learning and comprehension abilities had improved. It could be seen that the fairy in front of him was displaying the Dao and principles of her practice.

It is also this learning and comprehension ability that allows Feifei to feel the opponent's strength to a certain extent, and her body undergoes a certain degree of alienation uncontrollably.

In contrast, Wu Chaoxi and Guo Shan felt that the talismans corresponding to the two Dao Fruit fragments they possessed, [Seventh Grade·Ghost Walker] and [Eighth Grade·Paper-Wrapping Craftsman], were constantly jumping, as if they had absorbed some power and were trying to transform to a higher level.

However, Chu Tai, who grasped the essence of these two Dao Fruit fragments, could sense that the direction of their transformation was not [Sixth Grade Refiner] but a further derivation of the concepts of the underworld and death, and was also mixed with a certain amount of corruption and decline.

A similar, but not completely overlapping path.

Chu Tai in Jinhua Cave Heaven instantly understood the power attribute of the leader of the Xianyun Sect opposite him, and couldn't help but marvel in his heart.

'Being able to seal such a concept with an immortal fetus, this fellow Taoist is also a capable person when he is awake. Unfortunately, his cultivation method and his own cultivation are not enough to suppress the essence of the fragments of the foreign Dao fruit, and the help that the Dao field can provide is also limited, so that in the end this fellow Taoist was affected by the fragments of the Dao fruit. Then, he was bewitched by the immortal fetus sealed outside, causing the entire Dao field to turn into a fairyland...'

Chu Tai, who understood this, cooperated with Shao Siming to take action.

As the nine-section staff was swung, the magnificent scenery of the surrounding fairy mountains was shattered, revealing another appearance.

The beautiful mountains are made up of piles of bones and flesh, the sweet springs are muddy swamps piled up with countless filthy things, and the fog in the mountains is a pungent stench in the dark green bubbles. People who stay in it for a long time will be in danger of their souls sinking and their bodies decaying.

Under such circumstances, Wu Chaoxi and Guo Shan could not help but take two steps back. Feifei and Mao'er, who had a keen sense of smell, screamed, hugged each other, and rolled up the breeze, creating loose soil, unwilling to make any contact.

Shao Siming didn't care. He waved the Nine-Section Staff and coordinated the Taiyi Two-Phase Ring to suppress the leader of the Xianyun Sect. Then he walked forward step by step, stretched out a hand and pressed it on the head of the crazy female cultivator.

During this process, the leader of the Xianyun Sect also tried to struggle. Her appearance kept changing. She had a childhood sweetheart, a teenage dream lover, an adult lover, and an old lover in her twilight years. There were also images of both men and women, some handsome, some beautiful, and some gorgeous. It was as if all living beings in the world appeared on the face of the leader of the Xianyun Sect.

These people were begging, trying to influence Shao Siming and Chu Tai, but they all turned into white bones under the gaze of the two.

When Shao Siming placed her palm on the skull of the Xianyun Sect leader, she revealed a strange smile. The decayed flesh and blood appeared on the surface of the bones, like mud. The head without skin but with a little hair made people feel sick when they saw it.

Shao Siming still didn't care. He gently pressed on the sticky mixture of blood, flesh and hair follicles. An emerald green light emerged, repairing the other person's body bit by bit and awakening the other person's mind. At the same time, a phantom of a long river appeared under Shao Siming's feet, constantly shrinking and changing, making everything move in a good direction.

During this period, the fragments of the foreign Dao fruit tried to struggle, and bits of spiritual light flickered and changed. A thin mist suddenly appeared beside Shao Siming, covering up the bad and disturbed future, allowing everything to move in a better direction according to Chu Tai's ideas.

Feifei, who was watching Shao Siming's actions not far away, stood there in a daze, staring blankly at the green light, the long river and the mist.

Wu Chaoxi widened his eyes and silently watched the subtle changes in the body of the Xianyun Sect's leader.

Lotus patterns gradually appeared on the white bones, and then a halo emerged between the eyebrows, with a flower bud growing inside. It grew larger and smaller with the fluctuations of the vital energy, forming a spiritual fetus, and the consciousness of the Xianyun Sect's leader was also slowly taking shape in it.

Everything was moving in the right direction, but Chu Tai didn't dare to be careless. He raised his hand and waved lightly, and Shao Siming followed suit. The nine-section staff formed a barrier in the air to prevent outsiders from sensing.

Chu Tai looked at the head of Xianyun Sect and asked coldly through Shao Siming, "Fellow Daoist, why don't you come out?"

He hadn't noticed it before, but when the Dao Fruit fragments began to struggle, Chu Tai realized the problem. The interference of the spiritual light was independent.

In response to Chu Tai's words, the spiritual light on the bones was spinning, but there was no reaction at all. Chu Tai asked again, and the spiritual light became slightly faster, but there was still no reaction.

After a moment of hesitation, Chu Tai relaxed his control a little, and the spiritual light broke through the constraints of the bones and made a sound.

"Your abilities are so special. Although I have very little essence left due to various reasons, I am still a step ahead of the fourth-grade cultivators in your Great Heaven. However, I am completely powerless against your power. There are too many geniuses in your Great Heaven."

Hearing that the other party was a cultivator of the Immortal Manifestation of the Tao and a person with whom he could communicate, Chu Tai was cautious and asked, "Senior, are you a cultivator of the Immortal Manifestation of the Tao? What should I call you?"

His spiritual light jumped, and he said casually: "In our Great Heaven, outsiders generally call me the Nine-Rank True Lord of the Market Dao. By the way, the True Lords in our Great Heaven are not as valuable as those in your Great Heaven. They generally refer to the third rank, or at most the cultivators who have just entered the second rank realm, which is far inferior to the four True Lords in your Great Heaven."

"The True Lord of the Nine Streams of Market Dao?"

Chu Tai repeated in a low voice, and then asked: "Are there many cultivators like you in the Immortal Manifestation Dao Hua Great Heaven?"

"More, of course more."

The light flashed, and he laughed: "Boy, I know what you want to ask. Let me tell you this. The Great Heaven where I live is based on the way of gods, divided into three realms, five continents and ten thousand heavens. According to the realm division method of your Great Heaven, each of the Three Realms and Five Continents has a first-class emperor sitting in charge."

"After the Emperor of Heaven fell asleep, all the gods followed suit. Many Dao fruits and divine powers began to lose control and began to blend with each other, improving step by step, squeezing out the living space of other paths. In order to prevent ourselves from being assimilated by them, we, the immortals, integrated the power of Dao fruits into the holy land of the immortals, giving birth to three Sanqingtian who were equivalent to first-grade cultivators."

"As far as I know, at the top of the Three Realms, there should be 22 Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches equivalent to the first-grade Later Saint Emperors, some of whom can be interwoven and evolved into four beings close to the Innate True Saints."
