Donghuang Ziji

Chapter 541 Hunyuan Supreme Spirit Scroll

"My friend, you came at the right time. I am playing chess with a fellow Taoist and it has come to a critical moment. Could you please help me see how to break this game?"

The Taoist also noticed Chu Tai and greeted him. Chu Tai looked in the direction the Taoist pointed and saw a chessboard with blue and purple at both ends and a layer of water-like waves flowing on the center of the chessboard where the two colors intersected.

The black and white chess pieces fell on the nineteen vertical and horizontal straight lines and three hundred and sixty-one nodes.

With a little attention, Chu Tai had a strange feeling that the 19 straight lines crisscrossing vertically and horizontally were not simply constant and unchanging, swaying relative to each other, but were constantly jumping in a very strange state.

Three hundred and sixty-one nodes are constantly jumping, interweaving and overlapping with each other, forming one real space after another.

Above each space, the black chess pieces are dark, silent, restrained and quiet, like one mountain after another, making the space stable.

The white chess pieces, crystal clear and emitting a soft light, jumped back and forth in various spaces, gradually connecting into one, forming a light curtain that firmly controlled the black chess pieces.

The Taoist held the black chess piece and looked at the chessboard, and whispered: "If I play it here, I can avoid danger, but there will be endless troubles in the future, and we will have to argue again in the future."

As he spoke, he moved the chess piece in his hand towards one place. Before it landed, the surrounding black chess pieces each emitted a clear water light, connecting the black pieces scattered everywhere into one piece. The original quiet, restrained, and almost mountain-like substance suddenly dispersed and turned into a black invisible night curtain, emitting an invisible suction force, sucking the white pieces firmly, and making the originally connected white light turn into dots of starlight, dotted on it, like stars under the night sky.

"Or place it here. Although it cannot attack the opponent, it can further suppress the opponent and prevent subsequent layout."

As he spoke, the black piece changed its position and landed in another place. In an instant, the black pieces that were originally shining brightly became more restrained. Many mountains were connected together, firmly keeping the white pieces out, forming a situation of heaven and earth with the white piece appearing in the sky above and the black piece appearing on the ground below.

The contrast between black and white, the mutual generation and restraint, and the constant transformation of movement and stillness made Chu Tai feel as if he was not watching a chess game, but observing the laws of the operation of the universe and the changes in all things.

At the same time, Chu Tai couldn't help but recall the power of Taixu Zhenjun of Qiankun Dao that he had seen in the past.

It's just that the power of that True Lord is to weave together 19 vertical and horizontal straight lines to form a chess game, and then perform a new chess game at each node, entangled together through various exquisite techniques to form an ever-changing chess game.

Finally, the illusory arm formed by countless black and white chess pieces and lines anchored Tianyuan, determined future changes, and made everything move in the direction he wanted.

But the chess game in front of him is different. The changes of movement and stillness, reality and illusion, yin and yang, revolve around balance and follow the interweaving of the two yin and yang. It turns a small space into the universe and allows millions of years of changes to disappear in the blink of an eye. It seems that there are not many changes, but in fact, infinite changes are derived from the constancy.

'The methods of Master Taixu seem to interfere with fate and anchor the future, but in fact, there are many things that can be changed, and some key layouts have problems, which can easily lead to overall errors. This person seems to not interfere, but in fact, the interference is everywhere, and the possibility of avoiding it is much smaller.'

A gleam of inspiration appeared in Chu Tai's eyes, and the black and white chess pieces changed back and forth, and he vaguely grasped something.

When the Taoist saw this scene, a faint smile appeared in his eyes.

"My friend, where do you think this chess piece should be placed?"

Chu Tai bowed and said, "Since this game is between two seniors, how can a junior speak?"

“But you’ve already joined the game.”

After saying this, the chess piece fell down. The moment it touched the chessboard, a clanging sound was heard, and the world immediately changed. Nineteen straight lines on the purple chessboard shone brightly, expanding outwards continuously, and in the blink of an eye turned into a void. Chu Tai stood on the chessboard, looking left and right at the black and white chess pieces, which were suspended in the void and flashing their own brilliance. Looking at them again, these were not chess pieces at all, but clearly worlds.

In one of the worlds, the aura of Shao Siming was flickering, and where he was standing was a small dilemma created by several black and white chess pieces.

Looking up, the Taoist priest was sitting outside the myriad worlds, twisting a piece of heaven and earth, with no sadness or joy in his eyes. He looked at Chu Tai and whispered, "Take a look at this, this one was dropped by my Taoist friend."

As he spoke, another piece fell and settled next to Chu Tai.

Faintly, a black shadow appeared beside Chu Tai, with countless layers of phantoms interlaced on it, making it look real and unreal, but endless worldly desires rose up in its every move, constantly invading the void where Chu Tai was, as well as the seven or eight chess pieces around it, and the influence of this invasion was still expanding.

At the same time, a ray of compassion that was locked by many orders and worldly atmosphere was constantly distorted with this expansion, and its wealth, blessings, and auspiciousness were assimilated little by little by worldly desires.

"The fruit of the immortal way of wealth?"

Chu Tai immediately understood the origin of the bright light and roughly knew what the Taoist above meant.

He bowed and said, "May I ask, Senior, what should I do?"

The Taoist picked up another chess piece, and the clear light slowly rotated on the chess piece, brilliant, dazzling, and filled with the spirit of sacrificing one's life for righteousness, just like a big sun, shining and magnificent.

"You don't have to do anything. I will stop my fellow Taoist and block some of his plans. I won't interfere with what you, a little guy who accidentally entered the chess game, want to do. I met with you today because I want to take this opportunity to tell you that you can do many things without worrying about it. We old guys will stop the old guys who want to take action."

"What's the price?"

Chu Tai bowed again.

"As long as you are still an immortal cultivator, as long as you can expand your immortal destiny, just like your Spirit Embryo Technique, it's very good. In addition, if you can follow the will of heaven and the will of man and practice the immortal way of valuing life, I will be very happy personally."

The Taoist's voice was very cold, but Chu Tai already knew what he meant.

Just as he was about to bow again, the Taoist waved his hand, his expression became much calmer, and all the strange looks around him disappeared.

"Okay, it was a public matter before, but now it's a private matter. From ancient times to now, I always tell a story to many people who are optimistic about me. Do you have anything you want to hear?"

Chu Tai heard this, thought for a moment, and asked: "Is the Daobing system okay?"

"Daoist soldiers? This system is not easy to explain, but if you want to hear it, I can tell you about the 365 Yuan Lu of the Mysterious Dao of the Jade Emperor of the Great Primordial Spirit."

After Chu Tai nodded in agreement, heavenly music echoed all around.

In a trance, there was an immortal sitting on the clouds, waving a whisk, surrounded by the nine morning lights and three lights, the seven stars and the constellations, the four seasons and the five elements, the eight trigrams and the six jia, and the shadows of famous mountains and lakes, the four seas and eight poles emerged. He then transformed into a general in the sky, leading tens of millions of soldiers to guard the ten directions, controlling the demons with the innocence of nature, repelling the disasters with the spiritual officials, subduing the spirits with the power of heaven, poking the monsters with the power of God, preserving the form with the wonderful qi, curing all diseases with the heavenly doctor, showing the true meaning of great power and virtue, great compassion and great mercy.
