Chapter 692: Lu Bu's Heavenly Gate Formation

In Huoranzi's eyes, the web of fate is the interweaving of billions of lives. There is no such thing as three levels, and it must be divided.

Then the most basic fate network is composed of Lady of the West, Lord of Exorcism and the Earth-suppressing Magical Treasures, which records all past changes.

Then, the power of Lady of the Nine Heavens, Lord Exorcist and Wandering Immortal of the Earth formed the second layer of the network. Because their memories were different, the second layer would be very chaotic.

The final third level is the result of compromise among multiple parties.

But there was a loophole in his speculation. The existence of the white ape in Yunmengze did not surprise him. He thought that it was a change brought about by the records of the Queen Mother of the West.

From this point, Chu Tai can be sure that the so-called wandering immortals of the earth who have escaped the cycle, such as Huo Ran Zi, are also affected by the triple destiny network.

At the same time, Chu Tai also had a feeling in his heart that what Huo Ran Zi said about the three elements of heaven, earth and man was not wrong, but the symbolic meaning was not correct.

A glimmer of enlightenment appeared in Chu Tai's eyes. He took note of it silently, and then asked Huo Ranzi how many wandering immortals there were in this world.

"Not many. Apart from me, Luo Zhenren from Erxian Mountain is one. This person has a special origin and his identity has changed several times. Sometimes he is Luo Gongyuan, sometimes he is Chen Tuan, and once he was reincarnated as Lin Lingsu."

When talking about the last person, Huoranzi looked at Chu Tai meaningfully, and seeing that he had no reaction, he continued to introduce some enlightened monks.

"Xu Shenweng who retired overseas and Zhizhen old monk in Mount Wutai each have their own methods. Xu Shenweng retired overseas and no longer showed his whereabouts. Even the cycle rarely affected him. Zhizhen monk took advantage of the convenience of reincarnation to open a small cycle within the cycle. He was free and easy. His achievements were not inferior to Luo Zhenren."

"The Taoist Butian on the Wuji Cliff of the Great Wilderness Mountain is one of them. However, he no longer cares about external affairs due to an accident a few years ago. Instead, he chose to isolate himself and leave a little spiritual consciousness in his body. The arrival of the Flower Fairy this time can also be regarded as a means for the heaven to awaken him."

"Next, the two immortals, the turtle and the snake, of Wudang Mountain. These two are the remains of the former Lord of Exorcism who left behind in the human world. They contain some of the true meaning of the Lord of Exorcism, and with the help of the spiritual land of Wudang Mountain, they can maintain their own immortality. However, these two are similar to the Taoist priest Bu Tian, ​​and they don't care much about the affairs of the human world. They just want to stay in Wudang Mountain and live freely.'

"Next, there is the Great Ming Lord worshipped by the Manichaeism. This guy has a strong cultivation base. He has tried to fight against the Demon-Subduing Lord for several cycles. Although he was defeated every time, he rose again every time. I don't know what he is thinking."

“Further down, the Black Tiger Demon King of Hebei and the Six Poison Ghost Kings of Huaixi can also be considered as wandering immortals of the earth. Their situations are somewhat similar to that of the Great Ming Lord. They both have a deep karmic entanglement with the True Lord Dangmo. The difference is that they have different images in different cycles, and each image is related to the True Lord Dangmo. Therefore, it is not easy for the True Lord to kill them directly…”

Huo Ranzi mentioned more than ten names scattered around, but after the Black Tiger Demon King and the Six Poison Ghost Kings, he mostly described them as insignificant and achieved success by luck, and bluntly said there was no need to care about them.

Chu Tai wrote them down one by one and asked, "Fellow Daoist, why do you only talk about cultivators in the human world but not immortals in the sky? I remember that there were some spiritual lights falling from the sky with thirty or forty flowers."

"You mean the Eight Immortals? Although their achievements are not low, they are subject to greater constraints, and it is more difficult for them to break free from the cycle. Not to mention the distant past, Xu Shenweng was one of the Eight Immortals in his early years. He made rapid progress by relying on the luck of the other seven. Later, the world changed and the position of the Eight Immortals was reorganized. He escaped and gave way to He Xiangu. Only then did he become the Wandering Immortal of the Earth and was able to be independent outside the cycle."

"By the way, speaking of the Eight Immortals, it won't be long before the last of the Eight Immortals returns to his position. I don't know what kind of trouble he will cause this time. I have never seen the last of the Eight Immortals return to his position and the other seven follow him."

Chu Tai's eyes changed slightly. He remembered that it was clearly eight immortals that fell down at that time. It was obvious that the Eight Immortals had returned to their positions at that time, or the Eight Immortals were not in this cycle. But now this is obviously not the case in Huo Ranzi's memory. Instead, the Eight Immortals are about to return to their positions, but the other seven are following.

"This time sequence..."

Chu Tai felt something was wrong, and silently found that the fate net seemed to have disrupted many events in order to re-arrange the order of the Eight Immortals' attainment of the Tao. Not only did it cause many people and things to change, but even one of the Eight Immortals, Lv Yan, had contact with foreign races, and seemed to have intervened in the killing between the two countries. However, the secret of this matter was confusing, and Chu Tai could not figure it out for a while, so he did not show it on his face, and instead asked about the situation of Master Luo as if he had no intention of doing so.

This incident was really beyond his expectations. He also didn't expect that this Master Luo had the experience of manifesting Lin Lingsu in the past cycle.

Huo Ranzi was quite concerned about this and smiled at Chu Tai, "Rather than asking me, why don't you go and meet with Luo Daoyou directly? He is also quite curious about you."

"Of course we have to meet, but not now."

"So what do you want to do now?"

"Of course, I'm going to deal with the mess of the Eight Immortals. They seem to be confused by the Five Elements and have made mistakes."

Chu Tai revealed the secret, and Xu Ranzi also felt it, his face suddenly changed and he said, "Damn it, what's wrong with this Lu Yan? He wanted to use the Chunjing as a general and himself as a military advisor just because he was fighting with his master, to help the foreign tribes, to set up the 72 Heavenly Gate Formation in Jiulong Valley, and to interfere in the killing of the human army? Isn't he afraid that he will die when his fate changes?"

After saying that, Huo Ranzi hurriedly caught up with Chu Tai and said repeatedly: "Don't worry, fellow Daoist, you and I have been together in the early stage, and this time we have to beat up that bastard, can you still interfere in such matters?"

The two of them headed out of the pass, and from afar they saw a sword light falling, and a Taoist in white walked out of it. It was Lu Yan who had also calculated the changes in fate.

Seeing Chu Tai and Xu Ranzi, Lu Yan smiled and said, "I didn't expect that my little trick would cause Zhang Tianshi to come here in person."

As he spoke, Lu Yan bowed to Huo Ranzi, not caring about Chu Tai at all.

Huo Ranzi frowned and said, "Do you know what you are doing? You are intervening in the war between two countries. Do you want to turn to the path of magic?"

Lu Yan didn't take it seriously and said, "A few days ago, I was playing chess and discussing Taoism with my teacher. He said that I was addicted to wine and flowers, and that I was a wine and womanizer of the immortals. He also said that fate had changed and Zhongyuan would win, but I didn't agree. I wanted to use magic to defeat Zhongyuan. First, it proves that fate is not reliable, second, it proves that wine and women are not a burden, and third, it can make Master Du speechless and stop others from laughing at me."

"Is this the reason you want to start a war?"

Chu Tai's face turned slightly red when he heard this. He had seen such remarks before. It was similar to "Journey to the East" in "Water Margin". But when he really saw it, he was still so angry that the Three Corpse Gods jumped up and down.

Xu Ranzi standing next to him was not much better. He stood up from the ox's back in anger and cursed: "You are so bad, Lu Yan, you really violated the rules. If I don't punish you today, I don't know how many people will follow your example in the future. I'll beat you up!"

As he spoke, he pinched his five fingers together and thunder appeared, splitting into five strands, manifesting the five elements and striking towards Lu Yan.

"Five Thunder Method? Just a trick!"

Seeing this, Lu Yan laughed heartily, swung his long sleeves, and released a pair of flying swords. With a spin in the air, he cut the lightning apart, and then cursed with a smile: "I heard that the ancestor Tianshi left behind a pair of male and female swords. I wonder who will win against the pair in my hands!"
