Donghuang Ziji

Chapter 549 The Devil Wants to Seize the Dao

The Taoist soldiers deployed their battle array, and the many human figures transformed from the mirror returned to [One], making the connection between Chu Tai's clone and his original body become blurred. The precious scroll began to fall towards Chu Tai's original body.

But at this moment, a shadow also approached Chu Tai.

At the same time, Chu Tai, who was sitting in the cave, also saw ripples in the spiritual light in front of him. He knew that this was his doom.

From nowhere, a breath of air fell on Chu Tai's body and wrapped around the embryonic form of his [One] Dao Fruit, which had not yet been completely solidified.

Chu Tai in Baiyun Temple raised his eyes and whispered, "Since you are here, why do you have to hide secretly? Let me see the mystery of the Heavenly Demon's method of seizing the Dao."

After waiting for a while, no one responded. Chu Tai just smiled indifferently, flipped his hand, and the treasure scroll fell to the ground, suddenly unfolded, and 365 rays of spiritual light rose.

The master slowly closed his eyes, and the Dharma meaning of [One] was manifested to the extreme. At this moment, there was no difference between the master and the spirit.

After the two became one, the power of the Donghuang Bell also decreased slightly.

On the ancient bell, the "Three Hundred and Sixty-five Yuanlu of the Wonderful Dao of the Jade Emperor of Hunyuan" branded by Chu Tai also emerged. At the same time, the Nine Songs and hundreds of various hymns to the gods appeared on the surface of the ancient bell.

Shaking gently, 365 rays of spiritual light surrounded the Hunyuan spiritual and wonderful true Qi in Chu Tai's palm.

Under such strange phenomena, the devil hiding in the dark can no longer hide.

"In the past, the ancestor of the demons preached in West Kunlun: Those who have obtained my Dharma can play freely in the three realms and ten directions, and in all the realms, when a calamity comes, they are born, and when a calamity ends, they are destroyed..."

The magic scripture sounded, and an almost invisible shadow appeared in front of Chu Tai. As soon as he appeared, he had infinite demonic nature, and he resonated with Chu Tai, manifesting endless colored glaze splendor that covered the ten directions.

At first glance, countless tiny words flashed in the colorful glaze, densely spread all over the colorful glaze, layered on top of each other, influencing and echoing each other, piecing together various magical skills of the sky and the devil, shining with hundreds of billions of brilliance, and colorful clouds rising between the lines.

The rays of light intertwined, stirring up countless sparks of jade dust, which flew and scattered like smallpox.

These jade dust and glowing lights are not illusions, but the manifestation of those magical methods. They are a real existence, a special kind of energy similar to the light from the sky that guides the Daluo Heaven.

These things naturally filled Chu Tai's mind with the wonderful methods containing the true meaning of the magic way in the colorful glaze, and revealed the exquisiteness of them to him without reservation.

At the same time, some truths in Chu Tai's mind seemed to flow out uncontrollably and exchanged with the magic techniques of the devil.

It's all like a transaction, exchanging knowledge and insights from both parties.

The only problem is that no one reminds them that the moment one party gains something, some of their own insights will naturally be leaked out.

Chu Tai, who noticed this, immediately calmed his mind and turned a blind eye and a deaf ear to these magical methods that were constantly being performed.

Without any harvest, there will naturally be no new insights.

But just that little bit of information made Tianmo quite happy, and he looked at Chu Tai with greed in his eyes.

"What an interesting power! It is clearly an incarnation, yet it is able to merge with the original body. Your Dao Fruit is the starting point, the only one, the core, the common point of many future changes, and the origin of the intersection of countless causes and effects."

"Only this kind of special Dao fruit can make me surrender all my power when I break through the fourth level. Obviously, your foundation has been recognized by the two True Lords, who think that you need someone like me to sharpen your foundation. If I can seize your Dao foundation, the position of the third-level Great Heavenly Demon will be within my reach."

“Although the Heavenly Demon’s seizure of the Dao is mysterious, if I can kill you, I will also be able to step into a higher realm. Not only will I gain thousands of years of cultivation, but many obstacles in the third level will also be cleared.” Although Chu Tai said with contempt, he did not dare to be careless in his heart.

The reason why the ancient immortal era after the Saint King era was desolate was because a part of the immortal luck held by True Lord Hunyuan and True Lord Qingshi was taken away by the Heavenly Demon, which caused them to achieve enlightenment much later. They were unable to stop the Heavenly Demon from occupying the power of heaven and earth, causing heaven and earth to briefly fall into the Heavenly Demon era.

This problem was not solved until Jade Calendar Master attained enlightenment and suppressed the Heavenly Demon, and Hunyuan Master and Qingshi Master successively attained enlightenment and reshaped the destiny of the Immortal Path. The Heavenly Demon Era then turned into the current Immortal Path Era.

One of the aftereffects of the Heavenly Demon seizing the destiny of the immortals back then is that all cultivators who practice the Heavenly Demon's orthodox methods, after entering the fourth rank of celestial being, have two special abilities, namely, the Heavenly Demon blocking the way and the Heavenly Demon taking over the way.

The former is the mark left by the devil in the world when he was in power. It is also a restriction by heaven and earth on the disorderly expansion of immortals.

The latter is that the devil opens up to his own devil sons and grandsons the symbolic concept of how he seized the destiny of the immortal way in the past, giving them the possibility to seize the foundation of the immortal way.

As for what Chu Tai said about killing the opponent and gaining power, it was because later Jade Calendar Master opened up his symbolic concept of defeating the devil and shaping the foundation of the immortal era to all immortal practitioners.

Therefore, once the devil begins to seize the Dao, it will be a life-and-death situation with no possibility of retreat.

The demon who was more aware of the danger launched an attack at the first opportunity. He did not use any fancy tricks, but concentrated his own strength into one point and confronted Chu Tai head-on in the way closest to the source of power.

Obviously, Tianmo knew that his biggest advantage compared to Chu Tai was that he had a higher level of cultivation and greater strength.

Rather than using many means, it is better to eliminate all external forces, concentrate your own strength to the extreme, overwhelm others with force, gain absolute advantage, and then slowly make moves.

Facing the head-on attack from a fourth-grade celestial being, Chu Tai's body suddenly froze.

Throughout his practice, this was the first time Chu Tai encountered such a big crisis, except for the crises in his early years.

Many magic weapons are just external forces and are useless in the collision between such Tao heart and foundation.

The true Qi of the Hunyuan Supreme Spiritual Dao is not one's own foundation. Even if it is of the third grade, it can only sustain oneself. Once used, one's own foundation is likely to be affected. There will be many more accidents in future practice, and one may even plant the seeds of self-doubt in oneself.

Although Taiyi Xuanhui Miaodao Zhenqi, as a senior fundamental true qi, can play a role, the other party is probably already waiting for this. Once they take action, they will definitely cast spells to interfere, influence, or even assimilate.

But this kind of crisis is also an opportunity. The prototype of Chu Tai's Dao Fruit has been polished to perfection, but it still lacks a little bit of effort to take shape.

With a thought, he used the fragments of the Dao Fruit of the Boy series to bless himself. This system had been mastered by Chu Tai long ago, and it had long been inseparable from him. With the improvement of Chu Tai's [One] Dharma Will, the condensation of the Dao Fruit embryonic form was also absorbed by the Qi Dao Fruit.

The blessing received at this moment immediately aroused layers of cool and clear light, like a full moon, rising slowly from behind Chu Tai. There were also white, red, gold, blue and purple rays of light spreading from the inside to the outside, layer by layer, supporting Chu Tai, who was radiant and sacred.

Many more scrolls flew out, each showing a different scene. Or a celestial being held the sun and moon wheels, rising and falling, with yin and yang rotating, just like the rotation of day and night and the replacement of all things; or red clouds reflected the mystery, covering the entire umbrella, illuminating the cave origin, the fire of Li was steaming, the sun was dancing, the clouds and crows were flying into the sky, shedding their golden crow forms, holding the sun talisman, standing in the middle of the sky; or qi turned into jade cinnamon, covering the entire umbrella, blocking the sun and blocking its light, the mysterious qi was steaming, rotating in all directions, dividing into a golden toad and a jade rabbit, standing under the osmanthus tree, revealing the Taiyin Moon Palace.

There is also the blue qi that turns into a blue dragon, connecting the deep and dark caves; the red qi that turns into a red bird, shining like the sun; the black qi that turns into a black tortoise…

All these were what Chu Tai gained from his past comprehension of the "Taiyi Jinhua Celestial Phenomenon Secret Chapter", which correspond to dozens of cultivation treasure maps such as "Nanyan Cave Floating Clouds and Crows Picture", "Red Clouds Reflecting the Mysterious Light Picture", "Jiang Palace Flying Fairies Revealing the Brightness Picture", "Northern Mysterious Hidden Scenery in the Sky Picture", "Bixia Returning to the Dawn and Turning to the Mysterious Picture", "Shuifu Jiexing Dunbian Picture", and "Taiyin Hiding Shape and Concealing Shadow Picture".

At this moment, they manifested one by one, guarding in Chu Tai's mind, and forcibly opened up a pure and blessed land, Jinhua Cave Heaven, in the colorful glass.
