Chapter 659: Watching the Secret Technique

"It's really weird."

Chu Tai tried to correct these changes, but he was powerless. Or rather, after finally making it a little more normal, the next moment it would return to the state of being entangled with so many human faces.

After three attempts, Chu Tai chose to give up and turned his gaze to other ripples. Finally, not far from where he was, he felt an individual with five stable ripples. Its corresponding fate and power were harmony with fate, prayer for auspiciousness, transformation of disasters, protection of the family's peace and protection of safety.

"The only thing missing is the correct way?"

Chu Tai narrowed his eyes slightly and looked intently, and saw that the old Taoist Zhijing and Taoist Zhijing were performing a ritual.

The moment his eyes fell, Chu Tai was stunned for a moment, because the old Taoist Zhijing, who was in charge at the moment, was actually the Taoist Zhijing of the past, and the Taoist Zhijing of the present was a girl who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old.

Taoist Zhijing, under the guidance of his teacher, stood in front of the altar and chanted the precious edict loudly: "I sincerely bow down to you, in the light of the sun and the moon, I praise the origin of the universe... I will definitely bless you and eliminate your sins, and I will be blessed with the pure water and become a saint!"

As Chu Tai's power fell, a hazy figure emerged, and at the same time a jade box on the altar opened, containing many hairs, which were entangled together at the moment, forming facial features similar to those of a human. Blood was flowing on some of the hairs, which looked like blood vessels, making the entire "head" look very creepy.

His appearance was exactly that of the old Taoist Zhijing in the past. The current old Taoist Zhijing stepped forward, offered incense, and said to his disciple, "Come, pay homage to the Grandmaster. This is a new method created by our lineage after studying the inheritance and precious edicts left by the Immortal Lord Dingfu Xiaoqian and the Saint Jingshui. You only need to offer your hair and blood to the Grandmaster, and then chant the precious edicts of the Immortal Lord Dingfu Xiaoqian every day to draw its power and hand it over to the Grandmaster. Then you can freely use it when needed without being backlashed."

"Is it true that there will be no backlash?"

The new Taoist Zhijing seemed a little bit unbelievable. After all, the spells she had learned before all came with a price, be it a change of shape, or a sacrifice of flesh and blood, or the distortion of her essence with each casting of spells.

"As long as you are alive, there will be no backlash."

Taoist Lao Zhijing's answer made his disciple a little worried, and he asked again: "What if we die?"

"Then, guided by fate, we will gather all our cultivation and strength into this jade box to help future disciples bear the price. This is our responsibility!"

As Taoist Lao Zhijing finished speaking, Chu Tai could feel the aura on his body connected with the hair, gradually resonating with several kinds of fate.

And when Taoist Zhijing placed his blood and hair into the jade box, ripples of correspondence with karma, praying for auspiciousness, averting evil, protecting the peace of the family and ensuring safety arose in the three people.

The ripples on Taoist Lao Zhijing's body are the most numerous and mysterious, containing five kinds of fate, and he is also the center of the entire ripples.

Taoist Zhijing has fewer of them, including four of them: harmonizing karma, praying for auspiciousness, protecting the family and ensuring safety, but lacks the blessing of the ripples that can turn away disasters.

Finally, the hair in the jade box had the weakest and least affinity, only the affinity with karma, the evil spirit of transformation and Wei Jianing. The ripples with karma were even more vague, and seemed to disappear at any time. Chu Tai, who saw all this, had a flash of light in his pupils, gradually revealing many possibilities, and saw the result of Zhijing's continued practice.

In Chu Tai's observation, the inheritance of Zhijing will continue to be entangled with hair and flesh. The hair that was originally just a head will gradually turn into several, dozens, dozens, and even hundreds of different heads. The densely packed heads are formed under the entanglement of hair, and the gradually twisted karma connects the descendants. The vitality and energy make the blood flow, giving those empty heads a trace of spirituality, but it can't stop the emptiness and deadness in the heads. Without too much dialectics, Chu Tai knows that this road will gradually tilt towards destruction.

Chu Tai sighed: "It would be fine if they could always stick to the right path, but if any of them had any resentment or distracting thoughts, it would lead to the destruction of their future and even the destruction of this stronghold. And judging from the influence of the unspeakable and the fate of the fallen, it is unlikely that they want to follow the right path... But their concept of cultivation is quite interesting..."

A hint of curiosity emerged in Chu Tai's eyes. In his opinion, although there were problems with the inheritance of the Zhijing lineage, from their methods, one could also see some of the thoughts of those who were practicing under the influence of unspeakable forces.

'If I can guide them onto the right path, onto a path that better suits their wishes and is more in line with the order of things, will there be better changes?'

As soon as this idea came to his mind, Chu Tai couldn't help but try to guide it. The illusory power belonging to him on the jade box continued to hang down, and the hair that was twisted into a head instantly emerged with a faint water light.

The old Taoist Zhijing, who was explaining the key points of subsequent practice to his disciples, stopped instantly and kowtowed to the altar.

The prayers moved the other gods enshrined around the altar, and the wishes and beliefs flowing in this place also gathered together.

This method is somewhat similar to the method Chu Tai used in the past to use the Dao Fruit fragment [Wandering Man] to anchor legends and create magic, but the difference is that the method used by the old Taoist Zhijing originated from the Ding-ranked Patriarch Emperor among the twenty-two Post-Saint Emperors. Chu Tai also understood the power of this person during his years of exploration.

To explain simply, the core of the Patriarch Emperor's power is words and names, or individual concepts assigned by the outside world. He is the master of secrets and true names, the recorder of all history and civilization, the master of the names of all things. He can give new names to all things, and also control the existence of all things with the help of the names of all things.

The core principles it grasps cover reality, mystery, names, words, Shinto, mind, past, present and future, etc.

Therefore, this person's power can exert most of its capabilities under the shadow of the unspeakable and protect more people.

And now, with the guidance of the old Taoist Zhijing, the result of Chu Tai's attempt to correct it was distorted again and given new concepts and definitions. The complex causes and forces entangled inside the head formed by the hair left by the previous Taoist Zhijing were also further distorted and changed.

But the only thing to be thankful for is that such changes will not affect Xiang Jun and Xiang Furen themselves, who are the source of power.

At the same time, Chu Tai also saw something he had not seen before: "This distortion seems to have stimulated an unspeakable force during the definition process, making it difficult to stabilize and then be affected by external mixed ideas. Perhaps, I should try to further stabilize it? Or create a pure, single-belief environment?"

Thinking of this, Chu Tai stretched out his hand and gathered all his own faith together. After purifying it, he once again cast his influence, trying to correct the hair and head again, but this time he still failed, because in the process of faith transmission, the faith and will that were supposed to be independent were actually distorted, or in other words, the concept of independence was also blurred.

'Except for complete individuals, can't the remaining forces and individuals have complete boundaries under the ineffable?'
