Chapter 607: Opening the Forum and Preaching
"Whatever Fellow Daoist Taining did, it actually significantly increased the luck of the Jinhua Sect, and even the luck of my Youkan Sect also significantly recovered."

Taoist Youkan looked around, and his gaze finally fell on several disciples of the Jinhua Sect.

Among them, Shi Huajin, who had the highest cultivation and the closest connection with the cave heaven, was affected the most. At this moment, his aura was surging, and aura was surging around him. Several Dharma ideas recorded in the "Taiyi Jinhua Celestial Phenomenon Secret Chapter" emerged one by one. As his Qi merged with that of the Jinhua Cave Heaven, they gradually converged together, and there were vague signs that he had transcended the fifth level and formed the embryonic form of the Tao fruit.

Next came Shang Zhu, Yin Ran and Shou Ling. Their auras were like fire, and as they blended with each other, layers of fire clouds emerged. There was also a three-talent fire cloud ring that soared into the air and stood in the center, shining brightly. While drawing the power of the three talents of the cave heaven to improve their own cultivation, it also helped burn the accumulated miscellaneous air in the cave heaven. This process made their auras more compatible with the cave heaven, forming a virtuous cycle and steadily advancing the cultivation realm of the three people.

Next came Dongcang, Xihui, Beixuan and Nandan. With starlight spinning above their heads, they held up flags embroidered with the four symbols, attracting the power of the four symbols and twenty-eight constellations above the cave heaven. They constantly changed their own aura to make it more in line with the movement rules of the stars in the star layer. Although they could not compare to Shangzhu, Yinran and Shouling who formed a virtuous circle with the cave heaven, their speed of improving their cultivation was no worse.

The five people who showed obvious changes last were Yun Yao, Bai Yihong, Heng Qing, Jin Si and Yu Lisou. Their connection with the cave heaven was second only to Shi Huajin and Chu Tai, so it was natural that they received a lot of counterattack from the cave heaven. However, they each had their own spiritual roots to rely on and had a stronger carrying capacity, so the abnormal phenomena appeared the latest.

However, the spiritual roots of the five of them that share the same aura are also rooted in the cave. This time, when the aura of the cave connects with the star layer, the vital energy and the principles of Taoism undergo a transformation, and the spiritual roots that assist in maintaining the operation of the five elements naturally change as well.

The changes in their spiritual roots will also lead to the improvement of the five people's cultivation. Therefore, as soon as the strange appearances of the five of them appeared, they quickly overwhelmed the others. The realm and strength they displayed also surpassed Shang Zhu, Yin Ran, Dong Cang and other seven people, and were catching up with Shi Huajin.

'With one promising fourth-grade celestial being and twelve senior fifth-grade cultivators, the entire framework of the Jinhua Sect has been built. If it is slowly filled and expanded, it will become another great sect...'

Taoist Ji Xing looked at the thirteen orthodox descendants of the Jinhua Sect and sighed in his heart. At the same time, he silently compared the situation of his own sect. Finally, he had to admit that it seemed to be inferior in all aspects.

This realization made him feel a little depressed. He sorted out his emotions and looked at the remaining three people from the Jinhua Sect: Mao'er, Wu Chaoxi and Feifei.

These three were the first batch of cultivators to receive the Dao Fruit Fragment System created by Chu Tai. Their cultivation was not high and part of their strength still depended on the Dao Fruit Fragment System.

The bonus gained from the changes in the cave is naturally smaller, and the abnormal phenomena revealed are almost non-existent, but the improvement in cultivation is significant.

When Mao'er left the sect last time, he only had the seventh-grade cultivation level, and was blessed with the eighth-grade Dao Fruit fragment [Spiritual Communication] of the Demon Saint system and the eighth-grade [Fertile Soil] of the Mountain Ghost system.

After returning from his trip, his cultivation had improved. He created his own magic power core and achieved the sixth-grade cultivation, but he was still at the bottom among the sixth-grade cultivators.

However, with the improvement of the vitality of the cave and the protection of the sect's luck, Mao'er's magic core was optimized. With Chu Tai's tacit consent, he also obtained the blessings of the seventh-grade Dao fruit fragments [Swallowing Breath] and [Blessings and Fortune], and his cultivation level naturally approached the fifth grade.

When Wu Chaoxi left the sect, he had reached the sixth rank in cultivation, and was blessed with the eighth rank Dao Fruit fragment [Cai Cai Jiang] of the Great Siming system.

While he was away, although Wu Chaoxi's cultivation did not undergo a qualitative change, he did hone his skills many times and completely absorbed the power of the eighth-grade Dao Fruit fragment, sublimating it into a seventh-grade [Yin-Walking Man], with vague signs of walking out of his own path.

This time, with the help of Chu Tai and the help of the changes in the power of the cave, Wu Chaoxi successfully sublimated the seventh-grade [Ghost Walker] into a new path that was different from the sixth-grade [Refiner]. Its name is [Tomb Guardian Mage]. It is a path that is further derived from the concepts of the underworld and death, and is mixed with the principles of corruption and decline.

Its concept is more in line with the way of the underworld, and is also suitable for cultivators like Wu Chaoxi who have embarked on the path of ghost immortals.

Therefore, with the formation and blessing of this Dao Fruit fragment, Wu Chaoxi successfully took a crucial step in cultivation and achieved the fifth level.

When Wu Chaoxi made further progress in his practice, Guo Shan, who represented the Yin Jing Sect below, was also stimulated and stepped into the fifth level. The Dao Fruit fragments he possessed also underwent a transformation, and were promoted to the seventh-level [Military Advisor] of the Hebo system and the sixth-level [Tomb Guardian Mage] like Wu Chaoxi.

Guo Shan's breakthrough attracted many people's attention to him. After sensing his aura, they knew that he had a close relationship with Chu Tai. Some thoughts also arose in their minds, so much so that they ignored Fei Fei's transformation.

Feifei's cultivation level was the same as Wu Chaoxi's. He was at the sixth level when he left, and he was still at the sixth level when he returned to the sect, but the Dao fruit fragments he mastered were upgraded from the ninth level [Quiet Enterer] when he left to the seventh level [Talisman Holder]. Now, with the help of the cave heaven's upgrade and Chu Tai's help, he has obtained the blessing of the sixth level [Heavenly Work]. Among all the people, the Dao fruit fragment system has been upgraded the most. In addition, Feifei's own cultivation level has also touched the edge of the fifth level in this process. However, the insights brought by [Heavenly Worker] do not seem to satisfy him, so he has not yet condensed his own fundamental law and promoted to the fifth level.

People who pay attention to him know very well that Feifei has already stepped half a foot into the threshold of the fifth rank, and it is only a matter of time before he achieves the fifth rank.

'The three outer sect guardians seem to have a completely different system of cultivation than the normal one, and it seems to be somewhat related to the Lingtai method. After the Taiyi Patriarch had been silent for a hundred years, it was really a blessing for the Jinhua Sect to have such a leader.'

Taoist Ji Xing, who made the judgment, closed his eyes slightly and stopped thinking, but there were many people who made similar judgments as him.

These monks recalled the situation of their own sect and felt more and more sad.

"Shi Huajin and the others are fine, they are obviously the seeds of cultivation left by the Jinhua Sect in the past, with a hundred years of accumulation. It is normal for them to break through this time with the help of the sect's luck. The remaining three little guys have improved so quickly, it is too enviable. If our sect has such ability, it will be much easier to reopen the mountain gate in the future."

Although Chu Tai was not clear about their thoughts, he could feel the changes in everyone's eyes, and this was also one of Chu Tai's purposes.

Taking advantage of the reopening of the mountain gate, the Dao Fruit Fragment System will be slightly promoted within the Taiyi Xianmen system. After all, this system will also be of certain benefit to Chu Tai in perfecting his own [Dayi] Dao Fruit prototype and transforming it into [Taiyi] Dao Fruit.

Therefore, Yun Zhongjun, as the representative of Yantian Sect, stepped forward first.

"I wonder what method these three friends used to cultivate their abilities so quickly?"

Chu Tai did not hide anything and directly told everyone that he had built the system after collecting fragments of exotic Taoist fruits, and he condensed some talismans and gave them to everyone.

As for these talismans, some of the cultivators present had seen them, some had heard of them, and some were completely unaware of them. But no matter which one it was, after getting the talisman, they would immediately begin to carefully explore the source of its power and corrosiveness.

Chu Tai's current cultivation level has been significantly improved compared to when he first created the relevant methods, and his control over the Donghuang Bell has also reached a new level. With the combination of the two, the foreign Taoist principles and laws on the talismans transformed from the power of these ninth-grade Taoist fruit fragments have been completely cleansed, losing their most powerful corrosiveness.

Some of the Dao fruit fragments that are similar to the Hebo system, because they have been washed by the cosmic river layer, are even more perfectly in line with the laws and principles of the Dongji Chenguang Great Heavenly Dao. If Chu Tai had not told everyone that these were also the products of foreign Dao fruit fragments, they would have thought that these were the heavenly book treasures bred by the great sky naturally.

After confirming the safety of the talisman, a little eagerness gradually emerged in everyone's eyes. Seeing this, Chu Tai smiled and said, "Today, the gate of my Jinhua Sect is reopened. I will give a lecture here. Why don't we go to another place so that I can teach you all?"

Hearing this, everyone naturally would not refuse and headed to the Taoist platform near the Dongyuan Palace.

After Chu Tai sat down on the stage, Shi Huajin lightly struck the jade chime, and the long and melodious sound instantly spread everywhere.

Everyone bowed and thanked Chu Tai for his preaching.

Chu Tai accepted the greeting and began to talk about what he had gained from his practice.

He first talked about the Jinhua Sect's practice philosophy and some methods, and then talked about some of his own practice insights and experiences. Although this part was not bad and made many people fascinated, it was still normal.

And when Chu Tai began to explain the Dao Fruit fragment system starting from the Lingtai Method, he gradually aroused the secrets of heaven. Golden flowers fell, precious flowers rose, and phantoms of immortal birds and beasts guarded in the auspicious clouds and auspicious air. Immortal gods listened attentively.
