Donghuang Ziji

Chapter 609: Fourth-Rank Corpse Reincarnation Immortal

Emei Sect, Shaoqing Cave Heaven.

As a Taoist temple run by the Emei Sect for thousands of years, this place should have towering sacred peaks, shady mountains with green trees, misty waterfalls, and winding springs.

However, as the fortune of Jinhua Cave was booming, the fortune of Shaoqing Cave continued to dissipate, and the earth veins and spiritual inspiration that were originally attracted here also gradually left, and the bright spiritual light in the mountains dimmed a lot.

The most important thing is the central core area. The innate Qi of Shaoqing Zifu Emperor's command, which was originally one of the foundations, has been broken at this moment, which has caused obvious errors in the vitality of Shaoqing Cave Heaven.

Taoist Yun Si looked at the shattered light in front of him, his face ashen. Behind him, several Emei monks who had sensed the changes in the cave had hurried over.

"Master, what happened? Why is the vital energy of the cave so lost?"

"This is Shaoqing Zifu Emperor's edict, why did it become like this!"

"What? Shaoqing Zifu Emperor's command was actually broken. What on earth is going on? What happened to the master?"

Facing the questioning from his fellow disciples, Taoist Yun Si, who was already somewhat angry because his treasure was broken, couldn't help but look a little cold.

Yuntian saw that the atmosphere was not right, and hurriedly stepped forward to appease several fellow disciples, and then said: "Master, I felt the change in luck before, but someone plotted against us in Emei, so that the Shaoqing Zifu Emperor's order changed?"

Hearing this, Taoist Yun Si's expression improved a lot. He explained, "Earlier, Jinhua Sect's luck surged and impacted our luck. In order to prevent the luck from leaking out, I activated the Purple Mansion Emperor's Command. I never thought that Jinhua Sect used something to gather their luck and actually broke the Emperor's Command."

After these words were spoken, the surrounding cultivators could not say anything more. They all benefited from taking advantage of the Taiyi Immortal Sect's good fortune, so there was no reason to let Taoist Yun Si take the blame.

Of course, a big part of the reason is that Taoist Yun Si has the highest cultivation level among all the people present.

Taoist Yuntian saw this and asked if there was any solution.

"I have been thinking about how to repair the Purple Mansion Emperor's Decree. After much thought, I still think it is best to open the secret treasure of the East China Sea."

Hearing Taoist Yun Si's answer, several Emei monks frowned, and one of them said bluntly: "But the secret treasure was left for future generations of disciples."

"If we can't survive this disaster, can future generations of disciples use that secret treasure to rise again?"

After Taoist Yun Si opened his mouth to refute, he looked towards the east and said coldly: "In addition to opening the secret treasures of the East China Sea, I also plan to salvage the Purple Light and Clear Brilliance Star Raft ashore, use its treasured innate Purple Mansion Qingyang Wonderful Qi as the core to repair the Purple Mansion Emperor's Edict, and then simultaneously open the two blessed places of Golden Knife Gorge and Medicine Lord Cliff, open up a separate courtyard, and gather the destiny."

As soon as these words came out, Taoist Yuntian couldn't help but speak out to stop them: "Master, the Purple Light and Clear Brilliance Star Raft was originally an opportunity calculated by Patriarch Baimei. It's okay for us to salvage it in advance, but the two blessed places of Golden Blade Gorge and Medicine King Cliff were originally opportunities for our disciples. Should we delay it for a while? After all..."

"I know what you want to say. Indeed, the people who are destined to go to Golden Blade Gorge are Qi Guang and Yan Guang, and the people who are destined to go to Yaojun Cliff are Yuan Hua and Yuan Ye. But now our sect is not strong enough, so we have to take over these two temples in advance in order to overcome the calamity. I will compensate them afterwards."

Taoist Yun Si's words made Taoist Yun Tian not know how to respond, but a cultivator next to him could not help but whispered, "This is not a question of compensation or not, but Yan Guang has only been in Taoism for a short time, and his cultivation is not enough, so he is simply unable to open the Golden Sword Gorge blessed land."

"That's fine. There's a purple orchid green ganoderma on the top of Cuibi Peak in Shaoqing Cave Heaven. In a while, it will be the day of its thousand-year-old fruiting. I'll take one out and refine a furnace of marrow-replenishing jade liquid magic pills for Yan Guang. It should be able to quickly condense the Dharma. Pay attention to opening the blessed land."

"But this is not good for the disciples' foundation..."

The man wanted to say something else, but was refuted by Taoist Yun Si: "The Purple Orchid and Green Ganoderma are rare spiritual roots in the world. They only bear three fruits in a thousand years. Each one can improve our cultivation and even help you to make further progress. I took out one this time to refine the Marrow-Replenishing Jade Liquid Divine Pill, which is already a big sacrifice. If we can sacrifice, can't he, a junior, sacrifice one or two? Or do you think one is not enough, and you should take two more and refine three furnaces of Marrow-Replenishing Jade Liquid Divine Pills for him. This will ensure that his foundation is stable and even forge some special Taoist bodies."

After hearing this, the man wanted to say something, but was stopped by the other Taoists nearby.

He looked at his fellow disciples around him, who seemed unable to understand. In anger, he yelled, "I'm going to find Senior Sister Yunchi!"

As he said that, he turned into a beam of light and flew out of the cave. Taoist Yuntian wanted to stop him, but was stopped by Taoist Yunsi: "If he wants to go find Junior Sister Yunchi, then let him go. I said at the beginning that Junior Sister Yunchi and I just have different philosophies. If any of you think that my philosophy is wrong and you agree with Junior Sister Yunchi's philosophy, you can leave now. I will never stop you."

After hearing this, everyone present fell silent. Taoist Yun Si saw this and arranged for the rest of the people to handle various matters.

After a while, when Taoist Yun Si was the only one left there, wisps of Shaoqing immortal light rose from behind him, revealing an illusory shadow.

"Make a prompt decision and bring out all your past assets and future plans. I don't know whether the ancestors of the Emei Sect would be pleased or angry when they see you do this."

Taoist Yun Si did not look at the shadow, and said in a cold voice: "Now I am the head of Emei. By the way, Junior Brother Yun Kai..."

"Don't worry about me doing what I do. He will go to Yunchi safely. Then after three days, he will become possessed due to his agitated emotions and eventually become petrified and unable to move. You can wait for a while before treating him and showing him favor. I think by then he will know that what you said is right."

"Is that so? That's good."

Hearing Taoist Yun Si's answer, Shadow chuckled, and finally looked at Xiantian Yiqi Shaoqing Zifu Dichi, and whispered: "Do you really not need me to come back to help repair this thing? You know..." This time, before Shadow finished speaking, he was scolded by Taoist Yun Si: "This thing is inherited from the Emei Sect. How to deal with it is up to me. What you need to do now is to find out what happened in the Jinhua Sect! Why is the fluctuation of Qi so big? This is completely inconsistent with the information you passed on to me last time!"

Hearing this, Shadow stopped teasing and admitted his mistake.

"The ability of Taoist Taining is beyond my original expectations. I also didn't expect that he could actually construct a simple system by assimilating the laws and principles of foreign lands. He has attracted the attention of the will of the great heaven and improved the luck of the entire Taiyi Immortal Sect."

Halfway through the conversation, Shadow changed the subject: "But compared to us, Haha Ancestor is the one who should be most worried. After all, the laws and principles of the foreign land are more in line with Shinto. Now that it can be assimilated by the Great Heaven, it means that Shinto may be able to revive. At that time, Haha Ancestor, who inherited the ancient witchcraft and part of Shinto's destiny, will really lose his greatest amulet."

"It sounds like you are gloating over misfortune? You are actually worried about the future of witchcraft and Shintoism?"

Taoist Yun Si's words were slightly teasing, but Shadow didn't care. He chuckled and said, "Although I can be considered to be of the same origin as Haha Patriarch, I am not him after all, and he is no longer me. Compared to him clinging to the way of gods and witches, I think the way of immortals is the right path. If there is a chance to kill him, I will be happy to do it. I think his accumulation of tens of thousands of years is enough for you and me to achieve the third level."

"Although this old ancestor's cultivation is only at the fourth level, his magical powers are unpredictable. It is better for us not to provoke him for now. As for the future, if we really fight, I will also lend you a hand, but for now, you should go and investigate the changes in the Jinhua Sect first."

After Taoist Yun Si finished speaking, he dispelled the Shaoqing Immortal Light behind him.

At the same time, a Taoist who was thousands of miles away looked back in the direction of the Emei Sect's Shaoqing Cave Heaven, frowned slightly, and said to himself: "It actually directly dispelled my spirit. It seems that the damage of the Shaoqing Purple Mansion Emperor's Decree this time has a greater impact than I thought. It is also an opportunity..."

As he spoke, the Taoist walked towards the direction of Jinhua Sect. With every step he took, there were slight changes in light and shadow, and he walked for dozens of miles.

As for his destination, Jinhua Sect, the many miscellaneous matters of reopening the mountain gate had just been completed, but most of the cultivators still stayed here to exchange their cultivation experiences with each other.

Upon seeing this, Chu Tai cast a spell to create many Taoist soldiers and strongmen, and provided everyone with pens, ink, paper and inkstone, so that he could record everyone's insights and ideas one by one.

As for Chu Tai himself, apart from discussing Taoism with Master Tianque, Zen Master Kongtuo, Taoist Youkan, Taoist Jixing, and the Ling Miao couple who came in a hurry every day, he spent more time studying the changes in the Donghuang Bell and the Daoguo fragments.

The changes to the Donghuang Bell were very minor, with just a few more poems, scriptures, and carvings about Chu Tai on the surface, and a sentence with ink-colored ripples: "Sixty-five years - reopening the mountain gate, connecting with the stars, receiving wonderful Qi, Jinhua Cave Heaven was sublimated, the Dao affinity and destiny were improved. Preaching the wonderful Dharma, gaining the attention of the Dongji Chenguang Great Heaven..."

But the changes in Daoguo fragments are not small.
Added new fourth-grade Dao fruit fragments: [Immortal Root], [Transmission], [Movement and Stillness], [Yang God], [Vertical and Horizontal], as well as third-grade Dao fruit fragments: [True Man], [Si Chun] and [Tai Bai (Big Flood)].

Among them, [Xian Gen], [Chuan Du], [Dong Jing], [Zhen Ren], [Si Chun] and [Tai Bai (Da Shui)] have not yet been fully formed, but [Yang Shen] derived from Dong Jun system, and [Zong Heng] derived from He Bo system are indeed completely formed, providing Chu Tai with a lot of information.

Among them, the ability of [Yang Shen] is quite wonderful. It is a bit like a collection of many fantasies of ordinary people about immortals, such as the ability to fly in the air, turn stone into gold, call the wind and rain, etc., but its essence is the high degree of control over its own vitality and spirituality, which in turn derives many wonderful uses. Of course, what Chu Tai cares most about is that [Yang Shen] has an independent ability, which is the incarnation outside the body. It can directly transform the original fifth-grade Dao fruit fragment [Spirit Embryo] into the Yuantai of the incarnation outside the body. After a simple nurturing, it can be transformed into a new incarnation.

At this moment, Chu Tai had already extracted the vital energy from the Jinhua Cave Heaven and transformed the Dao Fruit fragment [Spirit Embryo] into an Yuan Embryo, carrying part of his own ideas and used to condense a new incarnation, Dongjun.

Compared with [Yang Shen], the ability of [Zong Heng] is more complicated. It is somewhat similar to a combined and enhanced version of the seventh-grade [Military Advisor], the sixth-grade [Disaster Master] and the ability of [He Bo] to go against Kunlun.

The basic ability of [Zongheng] is the control of time, space and information. It can manipulate concepts such as strategy, conspiracy, mystery, time and space to a certain extent, and has a certain ability to guide destiny.

When conditions permit, the flow of information in an area can be manipulated to slightly change the perception of life in the area toward a certain thing or person, thereby creating a false identity, and even providing a certain blessing effect to oneself by guiding information.

But on the other hand, [Zongheng] can also slightly delete the knowledge of life in an area about itself, and at the same time delete other people's knowledge of him, deleting a person's identity from the information, and then achieving the purpose of killing a person through conceptual overlay.

Therefore, people who are not aware of the situation would never think that the foundation of [Zongheng] is cosmic light, the void, and information.

"This ability should not be placed on individuals, but on the struggle between regions. If used well, it can overturn the power of the rulers of a land, reorganize the order of a region, and even lead a region to destruction..."

After a careful study, Chu Tai secretly judged the ability of [Zongheng] in his mind, and then looked at the Dao Fruit fragment system with the last [Entering Tranquility] as the starting point. In his judgment, the phantom of the deity corresponding to this system was regarded as Donghuang.

And now, this system is also the only one that is still at the stage of fifth-grade Dao Fruit fragments [Seclusion], and no trace of fourth-grade Dao Fruit fragments has been seen.

Chu Tai was also somewhat curious about this. He wanted to know whether the reason why this system still had no signs of reaching the fourth level was because the previous transformation of the cave heaven, the "communication" between the Donghuang Bell and the Great Heaven Principle had failed to promote its change, or was it due to other reasons.

He stared at the Dao Fruit fragment [Recluse] and explored it with the authority of the Donghuang Bell that he controlled, but ultimately returned empty-handed. It seemed that there were some problems with this system.

Chu Tai, who was unwilling to give up, began to try and compare the principles he had mastered one by one. After all, the paths and systems of other Dao Fruit fragments often overlapped, and perhaps a certain system could lead to the transformation of [Recluse].

This attempt really worked. When Chu Tai tried to integrate the information of the fifth-grade Dao fruit fragment [Spiritual Treasure] of Shao Siming's system into it, [Recluse] showed fluctuations. Then when he integrated the corresponding information of [Impermanence of Life and Death] of Da Siming into it, similar fluctuations appeared again.

But this kind of fluctuation was still not enough, and Chu Tai tried for a long time until he integrated some of the [Immortal]'s Dharma ideas and [Underground Lord]'s Dharma ideas into it, which led to obvious changes in [Recluse] and gave rise to a fourth-grade name [Corpse Immortal] that was so illusory that it was almost invisible.
