Donghuang Ziji

Chapter 482: The Wonder of Bearing the Cause and Effect

Being able to know the future and deduce the secrets of heaven is a very important ability in the Dongji Chenguang Tian.

In the struggle between heaven and man, the outcome is either decided in an instant or stretches for hundreds or even thousands of years, requiring a long period of planning and calculation, foreshadowing, and the arrangement of restraints.

The use of these methods requires the ability to predict the future and deduce the past.

However, different systems have different emphases in their ability to predict and grasp the future.

For example, Buddhism prefers to observe the past, present and future with the mind's eye, or to perceive the changes in cause and effect, the cycle of fate, and the changes before and after. It tends to rely on the characteristics of the mind to directly perceive the future.

The many divine calculations of the immortal way focus more on the speculation and calculation of the future, which involves a certain summary of wisdom and the aggregation of information.

The two types of deduction have their own advantages and disadvantages, but the common point is that both systems recognize that the future is very complex and changing every moment. What people can do through deduction is to choose the most likely one from many futures.

After all, even the Dao Lords in Daluo Heaven may see new changes in the future under the influence of other Dao Lords.

Therefore, Chu Tai did not care about the changes in the results of his deduction. He just further summarized the new future and made it appear in front of him.

Under the convergence of "fate", Chu Tai vaguely saw an evil dragon wreaking havoc in the Jinhua Cave Heaven seven years later.

The White Snake Fairy Chengyun, who was also a member of the Jinhua Sect, pleaded to the void while trying to stop it, but she was ultimately unable to awaken the evil dragon's nature and chose to die with it.

"There are problems with the magic method of dragon transformation left by Qiu Yuan. And the time of the birth of the lost mansion has been advanced..."

Chu Tai instantly understood the information revealed in the scene that flashed by earlier.

He acted decisively and immediately began to deduce other information about Qiu Yuan.

'According to the information sent back by Taoist Cang Xuan some time ago, the last cultivator related to Qiu Yuan was called Long Gu. He was a fellow cultivator with Taoist Xun Ling, Ling Shu and Huang Qiong, who he had met several times in the past. They were collectively known as the Eight Overseas Immortals.'

'This person was a dragon in his previous life, born from the North Pole's essence and the light of the stars. Although he could be considered a spiritual beast born from heaven and earth, he was suppressed by the heavens at that time and practiced hard for many years before he developed spiritual intelligence. In order to make further progress, he was reincarnated as a human.'

Chu Tai continued to summarize the information he had obtained, make deductions with his fingers, and predict the future.

The calculation this time is not difficult.

Although Chu Tai didn't have much information, the problems he had to face were not big either.

The Qigong practitioner Qiu Yuan is dead and cannot die again. Even though he had extraordinary cultivation and a high status in the past, he was just a rootless duckweed. Coupled with the changes over the long years, he was unable to have much influence on Chu Tai's deduction.

In other words, the node corresponding to his destiny has already been determined, and Chu Tai only needs to deduce the relevant information. Without deducing some of the people he met in the past, his influence is not as great as any treasure he left in the mansion.

Secondly, after half a year of sorting out, Chu Tai has mastered the power of [Yun Zhongjun] more perfectly, and can see more clearly the exploration of many locations in the future and the past.

Some time ago, he obtained some of the essence of the third rank, which can further reduce the interference of high-level forces. Now, Chu Tai has analyzed a little information about Master Dongzhao in terms of Dongzhao and observation. To put it more clearly, he has obtained some concepts of visual magical powers.

As the first of the five senses of mortals, vision also has a very powerful symbolic meaning in divination, deducing the secrets of heaven, and predicting the future.

Some schools of thought that are good at predicting the future even believe that the essence of predicting the future is to magnify one's vision, broaden one's field of vision, and allow oneself to see the manifestation of things that were originally invisible.

Finally, and most importantly, Chu Tai’s control over the Donghuang Bell has slightly improved, giving him more protection, so he can reduce the need for some protection on himself and have more free hands to deduce more information.

Therefore, Chu Tai did not spend much time to figure out the information he wanted, and learned more about Qiu Yuan. Even some of the information about Taoist Long Gu was deduced by Chu Tai, and he found out the reason why he went astray in his practice.

After all, the current Taoist Long Gu is only at the fifth level of cultivation. If Chu Tai is determined to find out, his information cannot be hidden at all.

He quickly deduced that the Taoist Long Gu's method of practice was called "The Nine Emperors' Miraculous Sutra for Avoiding Death and Prolonging Life", and that the original version of this method was spread from the Beixuan Yantian Sect.

Since fate was connected, Chu Tai's subsequent calculations became much easier. For Chu Tai, the information from this Taoist Long Gu was like reading lines on the palm of his hand.

'Condensed true qi is the fourth-grade Nine Emperors Mysterious Virtue Disaster Elimination Qi. This Qi is also considered first-class true qi in the "Nine Emperors Avoiding Death and Prolonging Life Wonderful Sutra". If one's nature can match the wonderful virtues in it, it is not inferior to some third-grade true qi in many aspects. As a price, this true qi also has high requirements for the practitioner himself. Once it cannot match the wonderful virtues, problems are likely to arise.'

'This Taoist Long Gu was a dragon in his previous life, and the remaining nature of the dragon snake influenced his nature. Later, he refined the remains of his previous life into a magical weapon to protect the way, which made the dragon snake nature stronger, so that his practice had problems, and then he became possessed and trapped in one place.'

Chu Tai continued to calculate, and slowly he discovered a lot of interesting information.

'The place where Taoist Long Gu was in seclusion turned out to be the villa prepared by Qiu Yuan in the past, but the remaining items had long been taken away by a senior from Yan Tian Sect. That senior had average talent and finally ascended to Daluo with the fifth-grade cultivation. Before leaving, he felt deeply for Qiu Yuan's kindness and seemed to have figured out something, so he left the "Nine Emperors' Secret Scripture of Avoiding Death and Prolonging Life" as compensation, hoping that those who come after him can understand the wonders of Xuan De and break free from the shackles of nature.'

'However, as time went by, the magic ban left by the predecessor of Yantian Sect was broken, and the "Nine Emperors' Miraculous Sutra of Avoiding Death and Prolonging Life" recorded in it was washed away by the sea, and finally fell into Long Gu's hands. And because Long Gu's practice went astray, he relied on his instinct to find this place to avoid disaster. This change of fate is really wonderful...'

The more Chu Tai calculated, the more he discovered the wonders of the responsibility and cause and effect changes between heaven and earth. As a result, his practice in this area was enhanced, and he also gained some new insights into his past explorations.

These insights also brought back many of the laws governing the operation of heaven and earth in the past. During the calculation process, Chu Tai glimpsed the trajectories and information recorded between heaven and earth, which were the laws and changes governing the operation of the Tao and the laws.

Observing the past, reflecting the present, and deducing the future, the interaction between the three allowed Chu Tai to grasp the changes in the light of the universe, blend the three into one, and then have a wonderful feeling of omnipotence.

In a trance, Chu Tai understood why some senior masters always liked to calculate the changes in the past and the future. This method of holding a lot of information in hand and deducing future changes is really fascinating.

However, when Chu Tai was about to make further calculations, the Donghuang Bell suddenly shook slightly.

The shaking amplitude was so large that it was invisible to the naked eye, but it shocked Chu Tai's mind and woke him up from his previous state of control over the overall situation.

Chu Tai closed his eyes and recited scriptures silently. After calming down, he stopped deducing too much and gave up the method of obtaining complete information by deducing the secrets of heaven.
