Chapter 577 Xuan Huang Casting Mountain Ghost

"The void is a safe option?"

"At present, the two great heavens are about to touch each other again. There is no so-called safe choice. But relatively speaking, it will be much safer for you to go to the void, and the speed of improvement will be faster."

At this point, the immortal light around Shi Huajin gradually dissipated, and finally he bowed to Chu Tai and said, "I hope to see you in Daluotian in the future, and even listen to your teachings."

After saying this, the immortal light completely dissipated, and Shi Hua's golden pupils returned to their original spiritual light.

He looked towards Chu Tai, waiting for his order.

"Brother, what do you think?"

Chu Tai did not give his own orders, but instead asked Shi Huajin what he thought.

As a descendant of Xuanmen, one will not lose consciousness when carrying the spiritual response of the ancestor. After all, it is the spiritual response that descends, not taking over the body or leaning over. In essence, it is somewhat similar to the disciples of Xuanmen improving their own spiritual perception, sensing the thoughts of the ancestor through destiny, and conveying them to others.

It was just because the spiritual response was mysterious and could basically be synchronized, and the fairy light contained in the spiritual response was so powerful that it would make the person receiving it drowsy, so Shi Huajin looked a little strange before.

At this moment, his eyes were clear, and he thought for a while and said, "I think what the ancestor said is right. The current situation in the Central Plains is uncertain. There are also many hidden dangers behind Emei and Wutai. We can't take risks. You can focus on the void."

"In the past, Patriarch Taiyi was able to find an opportunity to achieve the first rank from the Immortal Manifestation of the Dao in the Great Heaven. You will definitely be able to find an opportunity to achieve the third rank. As long as you achieve the third rank in the human world, our sect will be stable here and will not be afraid of the various changes in Central Shenzhou."

Hearing this, Chu Tai frowned and did not agree immediately. Instead, he asked, "But if I go out, or if most of my energy is left in the outer void, what will happen to the sect?"

"Don't worry. The ancestors left me a little fairy light before their spiritual response faded. If necessary, I can cooperate with Dongtian to solve it. If it really doesn't work, it's enough to buy time for you to return."

After these words came out, Chu Tai's brows furrowed even tighter.

He knew that what Shi Huajin said was true. For most Xuanmen disciples, there were many benefits to carrying spiritual responses.

As far as Shi Huajin was concerned, after what happened before, not only his magic power and physical body were cleansed, but he also further assimilated the remaining power of the Dao Fruit fragments and the alien spirit fetus, making it more in line with the sect's techniques.

At the same time, the immortal light left in his body was constantly purifying his magic power, laying the foundation for his further progress in the future and increasing his chances of achieving the fourth level.

Even if Shi Huajin was willing to refine the immortal light left by the ancestors into himself, he could also obtain some of the power of a fourth-grade celestial being and become an incomplete fourth-grade person who took a shortcut.

This breakthrough, in nature, is somewhat similar to Chu Tai borrowing the power of the cave heaven to gain the combat power of a fourth-grade celestial being.

However, the amount of cave power that Chu Tai could mobilize was enormous, while Shi Huajin only obtained a small amount of fairy light. Once it was used up, his illusory fourth-grade power foundation would collapse instantly. Not only would his realm regress, he might not even be able to maintain the fifth-grade realm.

Therefore, Chu Tai rejected Shi Huajin's idea without hesitation: "Brother, if you want to refine the ancestor's immortal light and quickly improve your combat effectiveness, you should also use the power of the cave to dissolve it and use the spirit fetus method to slowly improve it, instead of giving up your future for my convenience."

"How about this, my several incarnations will act as usual, but I will focus on the void. During this period, I will trouble you to handle many matters in the sect. After we reopen the mountain gate of the sect and make sure there are no major problems, I will explore the void in depth and explore the power of the immortal Taoism. What do you think?"

This statement made Shi Huajin lower his brows slightly. He actually didn't think this statement was correct.

But compared to his own thoughts, he felt that Chu Tai's order as the head was more important, so he did not refuse, but decided to dissipate the fairy light as soon as possible to reassure Chu Tai.

After bowing to Chu Tai, Shi Huajin retreated to his own place of practice, while urging his fellow disciples who had not yet returned.

Naturally, Chu Tai could not hide what happened in the cave, and he did not stop it. For him, if Shi Huajin and others could break through and take charge of one side, it would be a very good thing for him.

In addition, Chu Tai now needs to deal with the matters of his several incarnations first.

Chu Tai now has three completely formed incarnations, namely Shao Siming who sits in the Qingqing World, Yun Zhongjun who sits in the Beihuang, Xiangjun and Xiang Furen who travel in the Central Plains, and the Da Siming who has achieved spiritual fetus but has not been born.

'If the Great God of Destiny can digest what is gained from Taokuang City, it can be further improved and is expected to be born in a short time. Don't move lightly. Yun Zhongjun suppressed the changes in the witchcraft in the Northern Wilderness and gradually incorporated it into it. For the time being, he can't walk around at will. The incarnations constructed by Xiangjun and Xiangfuren are bound to be targeted by the court now. Walking around at will will easily cause unnecessary trouble.'

"After much thought, in the end, only Shao Siming is suitable?"

Chu Tai's eyes darkened, and then a hint of enlightenment emerged. He looked towards the void, and after thinking for a while, he turned his head through the void and set his eyes on the sect's treasury.

After scanning through many treasures, Chu Tai finally set his eyes on a piece of black and yellow jade.

'I have achieved the fourth-grade celestial being this time, and the several core Dao fruit fragments I have mastered have been completed, all reaching the fifth-grade level. Perhaps I can differentiate another incarnation of a mountain ghost and go to explore the void?'

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Chu Tai couldn't help but stretch out his hand, summoned the black and yellow jade to his side, and began to carve it carefully.

Different from the previous methods of condensing an external incarnation and a second soul, this time Chu Tai's method of creating a mountain ghost was more ingenious.

He first carved out the appearance of the mountain ghost with the Xuanhuang gemstone, and then gave it fragments of the Dao fruit, nurturing some spirituality, and then integrated his spirit into it, and finally sent it to Shao Siming's hands.

Shao Siming, who got the mountain ghost jade carving, instantly understood Chu Tai's thoughts. She looked at the Qingqing world she was guarding and reached out to send it into it.

However, Shao Siming did not choose to let the mountain ghost enter directly. Instead, he used the little knowledge he had about reproduction and fertility to allow the mountain ghost jade sculpture to descend into the Qingqing world in a way that was almost like reincarnation.

And in that green world, a beautiful girl who was practicing suddenly opened her eyes.

The monk in front of her looked at her and asked, "Jingguang, why are you looking at something instead of practicing well?"

The girl looked in another direction, touched her head and said, "Master, I think there seems to be something over there that is destined for me."

"Is it fate with you?"

The monk was a little surprised. She knew very well that her disciple was not an ordinary person. When he was born, there was a faint Buddha's light rising, which attracted her to go and check it out, and then accepted him as her disciple.

Moreover, Jingguang chose the Buddhist name Jingguang for herself when she was a child. If the monks had not been sure that Jingguang had no manifestation of past wisdom, they would have suspected that she was the incarnation of a bodhisattva or arhat.

Moreover, this speculation became even more obvious after Jingguang studied Buddhism with him.

After all, it is hard not to doubt her origins when she progresses by leaps and bounds and reaches the realm that she has only reached after decades of hard practice in just a few years.

Although Jingguang still follows her to practice, most of the time, the way they get along is more like discussing and practicing together. The monk sometimes even believes in Jingguang's abilities.

Under such circumstances, the monk could not help but hear that she felt something was related to her, and immediately took Jingguang to look for it. However, when the two of them arrived at that place, they only saw a barren mountain, empty and without any vegetation.

The monk looked at Jingguang and asked, "Are you sure it's here?"

"Let's go a little further."

After carefully sensing, Jingguang pointed in one direction, but halfway through he pointed in another direction. After walking around in circles for a while, he finally returned to the starting point.

The monk frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Perhaps this thing is just destined to be with you, and I am disturbing your fate by following you. Why don't I stand here and you go and look for it?"

Jingguang nodded and continued walking forward.

This time, Jingguang did not encounter any obstacles and quickly found a jade statue.

She wanted to go forward to check, but was driven away by wisps of deathly air.

"Don't touch me directly."

The statue shook slightly and a sound came from it.

Jingguang was surprised and asked, "Who are you? Why are you sealed in the jade statue? And what is the aura outside the statue? It looks bad. Is it really okay for you to stay in it?"

"I just underestimated the dead energy and the confusion between yin and yang here, which led to my inability to be born smoothly. But you don't have to worry too much. This bit of dead energy can't affect my foundation. As long as I wait for a while, I will be able to dissolve it..."

Chu Tai, who was inside the black and yellow jade statue, was interrupted by Jing Guang before he could finish his words.

"As long as you wait for a while, you will be able to dissolve it? How long is this period of time? If it is very short, why did you attract me here? Do you need my help? Then you can tell me directly. As long as it does not harm others, I will help."

Hearing Jingguang's answer, Chu Tai sighed slightly in his heart, as if teasing, but with a slightly serious tone: "What if saving me will endanger others?"

Upon hearing this, Jingguang was shocked. He inexplicably felt that this question was very important, and asked anxiously, "Why is it harmful? How is it harmful? Is the scope large? Can it allow others to leave and avoid this harm? And if I don't save you, will you be in any trouble?"

"If you don't save me, I'll be in trouble. But if you save me, my power may cause problems for the people around me, the kind that will erode people's health all the time. I'm not sure how big the problem is, but it's very likely to get bigger and bigger. As for asking others to leave, it's useless because the problem lies with me, unless I'm sealed here like I am now. Otherwise, as long as I move around, I will still affect others."

"Then can we leave part of the seal when we rescue you, so that you can move freely? Or is there any way to cure your problem?"

Jingguang looked at Chu Tai, with a small flame burning in his eyes.

Chu Tai sighed: "No matter which one, it is very difficult and the price to pay is very high."

"Can I pay for this?"

Jingguang asked again, Chutai sighed again, gave an affirmative answer, and gave Jingguang a little spiritual light, asking her to come again tomorrow.

"This is not an easy matter, and you cannot afford such a price now. Wait for a while. When you become one of the most powerful monks in the world, come and find me again."

Having said that, Chu Tai sent it out, and then shook his body slightly to stabilize the ground veins.

A faint spiritual light emerged, and illusory arms stretched out from the earth veins with open palms. Countless petals bloomed inside, overlapping and entwining together to form an incomparably huge flower, in which sat the Lotus Mother with Ten Thousand Petals and Thousands of Stamens.

'You actually intend to help me? Aren't you afraid that your creator will blame you?'

Lotus Mother's voice is very soft, carrying a maternal breath, the compassion of a bodhisattva and the benevolence of a goddess.

Of course, it is not difficult to hear from her words that she did not know that Chu Tai, who was now disguised as a mountain ghost, was not Shao Siming's creation, but an incarnation of the same level.

But Chu Tai was happy to continue speaking along the lines of Wanye Qianrui Lianmu's thoughts.

"Just as that girl said, if it can be saved, why not. If I can stabilize the earth veins and make things better in the future, why not do it? I'm just a little curious, if this world is really saved, what are you going to do?"

"Is this what you want to know? So this is what he is worried about!"

Wanye Qianrui Lotus Mother chuckled and looked at Chu Tai with a very gentle gaze.

"If possible, I hope to obtain a peaceful land so that my children can survive healthily."

"If I cannot give them a peaceful life, I hope they can sleep peacefully, in a near-eternal sleep, waiting for me to wake them up."

Hearing this, Chu Tai couldn't help but ask.

“Have you ever thought about letting them go and letting them return to the cycle of heaven, to the cycle of life and death, instead of letting them fall into a desperate situation of neither life nor death like now?”

"Can't!"

The Ten Thousand Leaves and Thousand Cores Lotus Mother, who had been very talkative before, suddenly became a little violent. Many spiritual lights appeared, and thousands of arms waved. At the same time, mouths appeared on the countless petals, muttering, begging, and praying.

"Lotus Mother of Ten Thousand Leaves and Thousands of Cores! Please protect our family and keep them healthy!"

"Lady Lotus! I hope we can have a good harvest this year!"

"Madam Lianmu, pray that the disaster will pass and the people will have peace!"

"Ahhh! Mother Lian, I'm in so much pain, please let me recover..."

These sounds were very chaotic at first, but as time went on, they gradually became unified and merged into one sentence.

"My Lady of the Ten Thousand Leaves and Thousand Cores Lotus Mother, please lead us to survive!"

As these words echoed, Chu Tai further saw the fate entangled with the Ten Thousand Leaves and Thousand Cores Lotus Mother and her somewhat twisted nature.
