Donghuang Ziji

Chapter 505: The Dark Man

Through Zhuogu's description, Chutai also figured out the cause and effect.

Her meeting with Suguang was mostly a coincidence, or perhaps the result of past interactions.

The two should have been good friends who entered the Tao together in the past. They had vowed to support each other, but later due to an accident, they were reincarnated separately.

But this fate established by the oath remained and became the opportunity for the two to meet in this life.

Similar things are not uncommon in the history of Dongji Chenguang Datian's cultivation.

However, this kind of fate is mostly limited by the barriers of reincarnation and is difficult to take effect.

Unless both parties inherit the legacy of their previous lives, this fate will not really bring the two of them closely together.

"So, there was someone behind the connection between the two of them?"

Chu Tai's gaze shifted slightly and looked towards the direction of Emei Sect.

The Emei monks who were stared at by him were shocked. Although they saw that Chu Tai's previous method of easily suppressing Shenshui Yin Ji was a trick, and Shenshui Yin Ji was fortunately cooperating with them later.

But she is regarded as the best among the contemporary fourth-grade female immortals. Even if it was a trick, even if she was willing to cooperate, Chu Tai was able to defeat her from a distance and successfully suppress her, which also showed that her strength was far superior to that of an ordinary fourth-grade immortal.

At this moment, it seemed to him that this would naturally arouse everyone's vigilance.

However, there were also some people who went against the crowd. He whispered, "Don't be afraid, fellow Taoists. How many years has he been practicing? The means to suppress Shenshui Yinji are probably some backup methods left by Jinhua Sect. If one of these means is used up, one less will be used up. Does he really have the guts to use them all up?"

Hearing this, Chu Tai, who originally wanted to figure out the connection between Zhuo Gu and Su Guang, stopped what he was doing and looked at the man.

It was the middle-aged monk who had ridiculed Su Guang in the Snow Mountain Sect.

"A senior from Emei is actually targeting the person who will prosper the sect as predicted by the founder?"

Chu Tai's eyes changed slightly as he became somewhat curious. "Fate" converged in it, but he could not see any problem.

'There is no external interference. He is an Emei sect cultivator. But is his behavior due to jealousy? Or is it due to other reasons? However, his current cultivation level does not have much advantage over Su Guang, and his combat power is far inferior. What is he thinking? '

Chu Tai couldn't judge, and the middle-aged monk took two steps back as if he was stimulated.

Seeing this, Taoist Yuntian, the leader of the Emei Sect, had to step forward and ask Chu Tai what he thought.

The cultivators from Shangyuan Palace on Ziguang Mountain, Qingyang Palace on Yuanbao Mountain, and Yuanming Sect on Mingjian Mountain who were traveling with him were also standing behind him. It was obvious that over the past period of time, the ties between these allies had become closer again.

As soon as Taoist Yuntian said this, Sikong Xi, the leader of the Wutai group, stepped forward and said with a smile, "Didn't you Emei disciples think that Sect Leader Chu was incapable? Why, you are so scared when you find that the real master is looking at you?"

Sikong Xi's eyes were bright, with hundreds of thousands of colors floating in them, making it difficult for anyone who saw them to tell the difference between reality and falsehood.

The words were also full of bewitching atmosphere. Chu Tai looked back and the shadow of the long river covered him.

Sikong Xi, who had seen the fate of Shenshui Yinji before, had no courage to respond. He quickly took two steps back, bowed slightly and said, "Master Chu, this is very strange. I spoke for you, but you actually attacked me?"

"Weren't you the one who first bullied Zhugu and the others?"

"I am mainly targeting the younger generations of the Emei Sect. I have no ill will towards the descendants of the Taiyi lineage."

Sikong Xi's words were sincere and heartfelt. If Chu Tai had not had previous contact with him through Shao Siming's hand, and had not just sensed that the other party was secretly attacking Zhu Gu, he might have actually believed his lies.

Therefore, Chu Tai directly told everything the other party had done before.

"Indeed, compared to how you treated those juniors from the Emei, Shangyuan, and Qingyang sects, you really held back on my aunt."

After being reminded by Chu Tai, several people realized that the younger generations of the Emei faction looked at Sikong Xi with a bit of admiration, which made their elders so angry that they started to attack.

But judging from the performance of the younger generations, the effect is obviously not great.

Chu Tai saw that both sides were getting angry again, so he planned to take Zhu Gu away.

Chu Tai looked at her and said, "You haven't completely solved the problem of your cultivation method yet. Why don't you come back with me and practice in silence for a while before talking about other things? How about that?"

Upon hearing this, Zhuo Gu couldn't help but look at Su Guang who was standing beside her.

The disciple that the Emei Patriarch valued looked at Chu Tai and asked, "Is what you said true?"

"Why would I lie to a junior like you?"

Su Guang was silent for a moment, then looked at Zhuo Gu and said, "What Senior Chu said is correct. The most important thing for you now is to stabilize your own practice. I heard from the elders that the person who is best at dealing with the alienation of the Taiyi lineage in the world today is this senior from the Jinhua Sect. It is the right choice for you to practice with him. We can conquer demons together in the future."

Upon hearing this, Zhuo Gu nodded, looked at Chu Tai and bowed, saying, "Please guide me, senior."

As soon as she finished speaking, a long rainbow fell from the sky and appeared directly in front of Zhu Gu. The monks from the Emei and Wutai sects who were originally fighting with each other changed their colors.

Even though the Emei sect was furious when Sikong Xi was pointed out to have secretly attacked the younger generation, in fact both sides focused more of their energy on Chu Tai.

Seeing the flying method that Chu Tai had used in the past, they immediately raised the danger level of the Jinhua leader, who had only practiced for a short time, to the highest level.

But Chu Tai's attitude towards them was very strange. He ignored them all and took Zhu Gu away directly.

At this moment, a female cultivator from the Wutai Sect suddenly made a move. She spread her sleeves and flew up on the clouds. Looking down from above, she made a gesture and made a move.

Several green air flew out and transformed into a long green-gold rainbow, which coiled like a snake, winding down and hooking towards Zhuo Gu.

Chu Tai frowned. A large part of his strength at this moment came from the blessing of the Donghuang Bell.

The blessing of the Donghuang Bell came from part of the power stimulated by the power of Yuli Zhenjun. Time was limited and he had a lot of things to deal with. Naturally, he didn't want to continue to entangle with her. He stretched out his hand and drew in the void. Tiny traces passed by, and it seemed that a mysterious cloud talisman was outlined.

With a light touch, the cloud scroll turned into precious light, forcing the long rainbow back, revealing its inner essence.

It was a short hook forged from a tree root. The hook was wrapped in blue-gold mist, like a thread, very gorgeous, and the material was also good. It was carved from the root of a sacred tree, and then placed in the sky and polished by the strong wind. It was sharper than ordinary magic weapons. If Zhuogu was hooked, she would definitely die.

Chu Tai looked at the female cultivator and whispered, "Xuan Sang, do you have any objection to me taking my fellow disciple away?"

"Hehe, you are in such a hurry to leave, I can't help but be a little curious, is what the kid from Emei Sect said before true or false? The means you used to suppress Shenshui Yinji should not be your own ability, but borrowed external forces. If I delay for a while, I wonder how much you will have to pay?"

Grandma Xuansang’s words made Chu Tai feel a little strange. In his understanding, this female fairy should not have such a personality.

But after all, they had little contact, and the situation was special at the moment, so Chu Tai had no intention of investigating further. He chuckled and said, "Xuan Sang, since you are determined to test me, wouldn't it be underestimated if I don't reveal a little bit?"

As he spoke, Chu Tai directly mobilized the power of [Yun Zhongjun], coordinated with the blessing of the Donghuang Bell, and drove the thunder to strike at Grandma Xuansang.

The lightning came with great force, and Grandma Xuansang only had time to release the Jiayi Green Light Curtain, and then saw the lightning falling and hitting the protective magic weapon, like a hammer hitting the jade cover, and instantly countless green jade chips and green clouds of light exploded.

After receiving this blow, Grandma Xuan Sang's body trembled, but she did not look surprised but smiled: "Sure enough, the method you used to deal with Shenshui Yin Ji before was not your own ability."

"ridiculous."

Chu Tai simply sneered at Grandma Xuansang's words, stretched out his five fingers, and grabbed something in the air. Lightning flashed all over the sky and gathered, transforming into a light axe. He stood in the air, raised it high, and then chopped it down fiercely.

With a snap, the void shattered, and the surrounding vital energy surged. The Jiayi Green Light Curtain, which had completed seven changes in shape and quality, was forcibly cut into a gap, and a sky full of dazzling green light exploded. Grandma Xuansang, who was in the middle of it, screamed in horror, and in the lightning, she turned into a twisted figure that fell obliquely and hit a mountain hard.

Countless lightning flashes exploded, followed by the mountain shaking, rocks flying everywhere, and an entire mountaintop was reduced to ashes.

Chu Tai looked down and smiled, "As expected of the essence of Jia and Yi wood, the ability to protect life is amazing."

When the man heard the words, he saw that the illusory roots under Grandma Xuansang who fell on the top of the mountain were growing and extending into the earth veins, thereby dispersing the attacks she was suffering and saving her life.

But Grandma Xuansang was not having a good time at this time. The incarnation she had refined using her spiritual roots was half useless.

After years of practice and careful refinement of the Jiayi Wood Treasure, a crack was found in the Jiayi Green Light Curtain. It is unknown how much effort it will take to repair it in the future.

It can be said that Grandma Xuansang used the fact that she transformed herself into a miserable person to prove to the rest of the people that Chu Tai's current ability was far beyond what an ordinary fourth-grade cultivator could contend with, and that he had the basic conditions to suppress Shenshui Yin Ji.

Therefore, when Chu Tai invited Zhuo Gu to leave again, no one dared to stop him.

When Zhuo Gu walked into Changhong, she felt the void around her twisted, and then she entered the Jinhua Cave Heaven. Before she had time to look around, Jin Si and Yun Yao, who had been waiting for a long time, came forward and took her down to practice.

Bai Yihong, Hengqing, Yulishou, and Shi Huajin, who were surrounding Chu Tai, looked at him with some worry.

"What are you doing? You look like I'm going to get into trouble?"

Shi Huajin stepped forward and asked with concern: "Master, what means did you use to cast a spell from a distance and easily suppress Shenshui Yinji?"

"I did not suppress Fellow Daoist Shenshui easily. In essence, she chose to be imprisoned by me so that she could adjust her own cultivation method and sort out the influence of the power of the Immortal Manifestation and Great Heaven."

“Besides, when I fought him, Fellow Daoist Shenshui did not use the power of the blessed land. His cultivation and supernatural powers were only 30% to 40%, and he was not at his prime.”

"In the end, I was able to help her seal the dojo because she told me her own method."

Chu Tai's answer did not satisfy Shi Huajin. He whispered, "Even so, what price will you pay to suppress a fourth-grade cultivator from a distance? As far as I know, similar methods left by several ancestors will at best affect one's own true Qi to a certain extent, interfering with future cultivation."

After hearing this, Chu Tai completely understood the other party's concerns.

At this moment, the power of the Donghuang Bell in his body had faded along with the power left by Yuli Zhenjun on the Daoguo fragments.

During this process, Yun Zhongjun also helped to refine the fragments of the Dao fruits of the four great saints, Void, Seven Emotions, Swallowing the Moon and Moving the Stars, into the ancient golden bell, making the ancient sacrificial ritual vessel even more powerful.

As a price, Chu Tai did not get the complete information about the fourth-grade demon saint fruit, but instead got part of the fourth-grade demon fairy information and was able to see the corresponding name.

[Fourth level: Metamorphosis]

Its ability is probably an upgraded version of [Fifth Rank·Refined Form], and it has some traces of immortality, and some signs of transitioning from the monster system to the immortal system, which seems to imply that Dongji Chenguang Datian can accept the monster fairy system, but cannot accept the monster saint system.

This discovery made Chu Tai devote some of his attention to exploring it, but on the surface he still comforted Shi Huajin and others, saying that although he had been affected to a certain extent, he also took this opportunity to improve his own practice system, and the time it would take to truly achieve a fourth-grade celestial being would be further shortened.

This news made everyone feel relieved, but Chu Tai's next words shocked several people.

"While I was helping fellow Taoist Shenshui seal off the dojo, I discovered something. I'm afraid there are other people secretly interfering behind the Emei Sect and the Wutai Sect."

Yu Lisou was silent for a while and said, "For these two factions to have come to this point, we are not surprised that there are other forces behind the scenes. But what the headmaster said should not be some people we all know. I wonder which side has extended its black hand? "

"Haha, ancestor."

Chu Tai's answer made everyone look even more surprised.

Heng Qing whispered, "Why is it Old Ancestor Haha?"

Chu Tai took the opportunity to tell several of his fellow disciples about some of the conversations he had with Shenshui Yin Ji after they went up to Kunlun, and also told them that Grandma Xuansang had suddenly attacked him, and that someone within the Emei Sect seemed to be ostracizing Su Guang and others.

“That doesn’t seem to prove anything.”

Bai Yihong felt a little embarrassed. He really couldn't see any problem with what Chu Tai said.

"I know that some of this information is still missing, but I think it should have something to do with that Haha Patriarch, just like the changes that occurred in Beihuang this time, which also have something to do with him."

"The most important thing is that Haha has been practicing for too long. His era is too long ago for us. We have no idea how many tricks he has left behind and how many chess games he has set up during his years of practice. We also don't know how many people in the world he has targeted, or how many people he has replaced with Nuo masks."

After listening to Chu Tai's explanation, Bai Yihong still found it difficult to understand.

"That doesn't mean he can plot against both the Emei and Wutai factions. Wutai is still okay, as there are no third-rank seniors to help. But the Emei faction has many third-rank ancestors in heaven. How could they be easily plotted against?"
