Chapter 676: The Web of Fate

'These techniques are indeed somewhat tricky, and are suitable as a stepping stone to explore the core of this world.'

Chu Tai's realm was such that he could see the core concepts and flaws of these four methods at a glance, but he also knew that it was not important whether these methods were sophisticated or not. What was important was the rules hidden in them, which would help him explore the truth and save him a lot of time.

But just as Chu Tai was thinking about how to use these methods, the illusory world below shook. Looking down, he saw a black gas rushing out from a Taoist palace, collapsing half of the side hall in the palace.

The black gas rushed straight into the sky, and the terrifying force shook the void and shook the fairies from outer space, causing the fairy mountains to shake, the clouds to roll, the rosy clouds to dissipate, the auspicious aura to collapse, and thirty or forty strange flowers to fall from it.

Countless purple lightning and green light fell down and hit the black gas fiercely, dispersing it and turning it into hundreds of golden lights, going in all directions.

Seeing this, Chu Tai went down and, covered by flowers and golden light, fell into the human world.

During this time, outside the Taoist palace where the black gas was rising, a Taoist boy riding a yellow ox suddenly looked up at the sky and whispered, "It seems that some other power has descended, but this time the Heavenly Palace did not react? Is it because of the changes brought about by the 108 demonic natures rising to the sky? If so, it is a good thing."

At the same time, in the fairyland outside the sky, many celestial beings with immortal appearance looked down at the human world, with various expressions on their faces.

Among them, eight immortals reacted the fastest. They decisively abandoned their immortal bodies and fell into the human world with a little spiritual light.

Another female fairy stood up and wanted to leave with the eight fairies, but when she saw the rays of light falling from the sky, she knew it was too late. She glanced at the void, then at the edge of the fairyland, raised her hand, took out a treasure book, and threw it into the human world.

The next moment, the rosy clouds turned, the auspicious aura rolled, and everything returned to normal.

At the edge of the fairyland that the fairy was paying attention to, in a sea of ​​sin, a fairy struggled to rush into a yard before the sunset light returned, trying to knock over the candlestick and burn the place. But as the sunset light passed by, the fairy smiled again, put the candlestick away, and carefully observed the dozen sealed cabinets in front of her.

She opened a large cupboard and took out three volumes of books. She sighed and said, "This time the evil spirit surged to the sky, causing many sisters to fall into the human world. However, it also responded to the changes in this book. We can clean up the miasma in this sea of ​​evil."

As she spoke, the fairy opened the book, and many red lines began to dance and fall into the human world. However, as they danced, they passed through the Sea of ​​Sin and took away a lot of love sin miasma, making the surrounding environment much quieter.

At the same time, evil spirits rose from all over the world, as if to tear something apart. However, as the rays of light descended from the sky, everything returned to its original state.

Chu Tai was observing the whole process secretly, and he saw most of the changes in the Heavenly Palace because he was paying attention to it.

He clearly saw that the eight immortals who fell into the human world were almost immediately enveloped by the rosy glow and fell back into some kind of fate.

The treasure book thrown away by the fairy was then suppressed in Yunmengze and turned into a mural, which also became a part of some kind of law of destiny.

In the end, the red line dropped by the female fairy actually disrupted the original rhythm, causing certain errors in the operation of the net and certain changes in the fate of the Eight Immortals. The murals transformed by the treasure book also absorbed a little bit of the miasma of the sea of ​​sin, giving rise to many splendid scenes.

Seeing this scene, Chu Tai decisively chose a place to hide, not touching the sensitive web of fate, but observing its operation and changes. During this period, he also compared the methods he had obtained with these laws.

The more he looked, the more Chu Tai found that the system of this virtual world was very strange.

All correct Dharmas should be able to be practiced, but all methods of practice seem to be subject to certain restrictions and require the aid of certain things in order to be practiced.

Apart from this, although other methods of cultivation can also gain power, not only are they weak, they also have many side effects.

For example, among the several methods Chu Tai obtained, the method of offering sacrifices for abundance requires the use of pregnant animals as sacrifices, preferably humans, followed by cows and horses, then sheep and pigs, and the worst are chickens, ducks and geese.

Among them, chickens, ducks and geese can only ensure that the land does not become barren, sheep and pigs can only ensure that the land has a certain amount of local energy, cattle and horses can ensure a certain harvest, and only humans can ensure a good harvest next year.

Furthermore, once human sacrifice begins, it cannot be stopped. Otherwise, the land will become barren and unplantable for at least three years, or at most ten years, when the earth's energy becomes evil and the crops grown become poisonous.

The same situation also exists in the method of gathering qi by borrowing a path. This method is to establish a connection with a certain mountain path or dirt road, and rely on the qi of people walking on it to practice. The collected qi is not only complex, but it is also easy to be affected by the foul qi, gradually causing schizophrenia, which makes it suitable for some demons and monsters to transform into human form.

The method of metamorphosis and ascension is the most typical form of physical alienation, transforming the body into a non-human flying bird monster.

The last problem is the same as the stealing skin and taking yang method and the offering sacrifice method, both of which require people as sacrifices, and the life span that can be obtained each time is very short. At the beginning, there are still one or two years, and after about one or two months, the peeled skin will rot and need to be covered with new skin. The amount of human skin needed also becomes more and more from the beginning, and even the entire body skin of another person is needed to obtain a few days of life.

But after careful observation, Chu Tai also discovered that the logic behind the operation of these techniques is essentially a web of fate covering this world.

'So the threefold...interweaving...threefold...change and threefold...arrival that Cang Qingshi mentioned back then, are they referring to destiny, the web, the future, etc.? But why threefold? There were more than three changes before.'

There was some doubt in Chu Tai's eyes. He couldn't find any explanation for it for a moment, and it was not easy for him to take out the paper. He could feel that the paper in his hand contained something that had the same origin as the fate web in the outside world. Once he took it out, it would inevitably attract the attention of the web and pull himself into some unknown system.

At the same time, through this subtle perception, Chu Tai also figured out one thing.

This net can only sense things inside the virtual world. Once you leave the virtual world, the net will no longer work.

Understanding this, Chu Tai began to think about how to avoid the web and prevent himself from being dragged into the operation of some kind of destiny, or sneak into the web and steal its authority to avoid being affected while being able to peek into the hidden information.

"So, the best way now is to find some people that Luowang is paying close attention to? Or people who can influence the operation of Luowang?"
