Chapter 628: A Promise Between Heaven and Man

"But this thing is suitable for carrying some troublesome things, and can also be used as some materials."

Chu Tai looked at the strange statue in his hand and put it into the blood pool on the earthen platform. The blood churned, and the power of Yuhua Zhenjun inside surged up, turning into sticky flesh and blood covering the surface of the statue. The eyeballs began to roll around wildly, and the wings opened and folded, folded and opened, countless feathers fell into it and melted into the blood.

Chu Tai stretched out his hand and tapped lightly. The vines grew downwards and swam in the blood pool. Then, illusory lotus flowers appeared, holding illusory feathers.

These feathers can also be regarded as treasures refined by Chu Tai using the dual powers of [witch medicine] and [spiritual treasure], and he also used the ability of [talisman holder] to give some of them simple patterns.

On the second day, when everyone gathered around him again, Chu Tai stretched out his hand and pointed, and a lotus blossomed, and illusory feathers fell on the few people who were planning to go out with Master Zhijing and his disciple.

"This item is a treasure that I created using my own principles and the power of Yuhua Zhenjun. With its blessing, you can gain certain abilities to control flesh and blood, and drive vines and water."

When everyone heard this, they were overjoyed and kowtowed to Chu Tai.

Chu Tai knew some of the problems in this world because of his previous observations. When he granted them the feathers, he held a simple ceremony. He looked at the people who were going to receive the feathers and asked them if they were willing to protect the living beings, believe in the righteous gods, worship the good gods, stop the chaos, and guide the order...

As he asked one question after another, Chu Tai slowly stood up, walked to the top of the blood fetus, stepped on the top of the statue, and their auras matched. Layer after layer of divine wheels appeared behind him, purifying the seemingly ambiguous incense and wishes around them, and gathered them into feathers, dyeing them with a faint glow, and then spoke to the people kneeling down.

"Can you believe what I said before?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the power of wishes echoed around them, as if hundreds of billions of people were asking the question at the same time.

Chu Tai knew that this was the wish of those who were trapped in a state of neither life nor death, constantly struggling in the cycle of life and death, and it was also the tendency of the world itself to desire order.

The specific manifestation is that some Taoist principles of life and death, yin and yang, cause and effect, cycle, change, prayer, etc. emerged in the divine wheel behind Chu Tai. Although thin and incomplete, they do exist and are relatively normal. They will not cause too much chaos, nor will they attract unspeakable chaotic forces from the surrounding areas, and then derive some shadows and sides.

The thoughts of the few people below who originally wanted to agree also changed a little in an instant. That was the unspeakable power, and the disgust for boundaries and the yearning for freedom, chaos, and disorder among all living beings. It was the highest manifestation of the pursuit of individual power, and it was also an internal motivation for individuals not to be constrained by the collective, order, and rules.

Under the pull of this force, these people began to struggle. No matter how they opened their mouths, they could not utter any words they could.

The master and disciple Zhijing who were watching on the side noticed something was wrong. At first, the old Taoist Zhijing was a little displeased when he saw the statue appearing on the earthen platform and the blood fetus, but after Chu Tai asked these questions, the Taoist knelt on the ground and silently chanted the precious edict belonging to Chu Tai, hoping to help him stabilize his strength.

As a disciple, Zhijing Taoist is more aggressive than his rigid teacher. He will be affected by the unspeakable power to a certain extent. He craves the so-called freedom and does not want to be constrained by anything.

But as a cultivator, he has long adhered to the concept of order, and compared to those who plan to follow his master and apprentice out, he knows the importance of order. He can resist the desires in his heart to a certain extent and will not be affected by the desires and free will that are constantly rolling under the shadow of the unspeakable. He stepped forward, knelt on the ground, and said, "Disciple is willing to persevere." As soon as these words came out, the eyes of Chu Tai and the people around him instantly fell on him. The residents nearby began to whisper, as if they were laughing and mocking. Malice began to roll, and those who had been kneeling on the ground without speaking before showed mocking expressions and looked at the Taoist Zhijing who was kneeling in front of them.

Chu Tai saw this and knew that this was also an opportunity, so he asked in a low voice: "If chaos does not disappear in the future, order does not arise, everything is turbid, and the world is dark, will you still be willing to hold on?"

"Disciple is willing to accept it!" Taoist Zhijing answered loudly again and bowed his head.

The divine wheel behind Chu Tai's head started to spin, and numerous wishes descended, gathering around Taoist Zhi Jing and transforming into a new wheel of light that was spinning.

Seeing this, Chu Tai asked for the third time: "Even if you will die and your soul will be scattered in the future, and you will not have a good end, are you willing to do it?"

"Disciple is willing!"

As the third answer resounded in all directions, Chu Tai felt a force descending from the unknown, gathering on him, and then transferring to the body of the Taoist Zhijing below.

At the same time, everyone present felt that there was some restraint on the desires in their hearts, and the emotions that had been expanding and acting recklessly were also slightly restrained.

This was manifested in the fact that the moment Zhi Jing knelt down, the mocking looks from all around him began to fade away, and some emotions similar to admiration emerged.

Chu Tai also saw this change. He stretched out his hand and a feather flew out, hovering in the air, gathering the feather shadows around it and turning them into substance. As Chu Tai stretched out his hand and pointed, the feather fell down and merged into the Taoist's forehead, leaving a divine pattern at the position of his forehead.

Then Chu Tai opened a few more lotus flowers, took out a few illusory feathers, looked at the others, and asked, "I'll ask again, can you do it?"

This time, the people's hesitation time was much shorter, and they quickly split into two groups. Two nodded in agreement, and the third chose to refuse after hesitation.

Chu Tai granted the feathers to the two who agreed, and then said to the others: "In the future, if you desire power, you can make a vow in front of the earthen platform. As long as you are sincere, you can open the lotus and obtain the feathers."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pulled, and a stone tablet rose up beside the earthen platform, on which the corresponding oath content was written.

With the appearance of the stone tablet, Chu Tai thoroughly felt the stability of the "fate" in his body. In the dark, strands of power gathered towards his body, turning into Chu Tai's foundation, enhancing his strength, and making him understand a little bit of the subtlety of the Heavenly Fox's method of forming a bond.

At the same time, at Chu Tai's original body, the light of the fifth-grade Dao fruit fragment [Witch Medicine] under the system of Xiang Jun and Xiang Furen was rotating, constantly pushing the fourth-grade Dao fruit fragment [Transmission] which had not yet been completely formed to start moving upwards. Dots of light surrounded [Transmission] and even began to absorb some of the power of the Patriarch Emperor.
