Chapter 715: The Grandmaster Asks for Enlightenment

'It's time!'

Chu Tai's eyes lit up, and he leaped forward, intending to use the second fate net to return to the third fate net, to cooperate with everyone in sorting out their fate, suppressing the evil nature, and fundamentally subverting the original fate.

Then, he gathered everyone's strength, strengthened the foundation of Confucianism and Taoism, used the golden lamp to cooperate with the True Lord of Subduing Demons, suppressed the Nine-Sky Mysterious Lady, destroyed the Black-Feathered Mysterious Lady, and completed the complete subversion of the second level of destiny.

Finally, by gathering the power of Xuannv to eliminate demons and the power of the third level of destiny to encompass all living beings, we can suppress the changes in the cycle. Even if it cannot be completed in one go, we should be able to suppress part of it.

This is a possibility deduced by Chu Tai.

However, before Chu Tai left the third level of fate, a chuckle was heard.

"You're a little more capable than I thought!"

The laughter was accompanied by the chirping of countless birds, creating a beautiful melody.

The pitch-black wings spread out, and the yin and yang energies surrounded her and gathered on the sword in her hand. The energy of creation materialized on her body, transforming into a bone scroll and countless red lines. Some of the red lines danced outside, while others were wrapped around her exposed skin, covering up the long and thin cracks and preventing the rotating red pill inside from being exposed without any cover.

Her perfect face embodied all the good things. She looked at Chu Tai, twirled the red line and said, "You are more powerful than I thought, but more reckless than Cang Qingshi described. Why do you think that everything will go according to your will? How dare you use my name to seal me?"

"What do you mean?"

Chu Tai actually guessed the meaning of the words of the Queen Mother of the West, but he was unwilling to believe it and wanted to refute her.

"I was summoned by Cang Qingshi and sealed in this cycle. He told me that as long as I can defeat you, I can obtain all the power here..."

Black-Feathered Lady took advantage of Chu Tai's mental shock and swung the sword in her hand. Black and white light fell, and the void began to separate. Infinite sword energy like gossamer flowed out from it, with the characteristics between reality and illusion, constantly superimposed, covering the second layer of destiny, and forcing out the golden lamp hidden in the Pure Land of Confucianism and Taoism.

Upon seeing this, Chu Tai stretched out his hand to call it back, and with a light shake, the flames fell, trying to burn the void to make it easier for him to leave.

But the sword energy that had no reaction when the golden lamp was summoned before suddenly began to move automatically like a living thing, blocking, guiding, or swallowing. In an instant, it changed into tens of thousands of characteristics, as if tens of thousands of people had practiced different sword skills, showing their own unique skills, and cutting off the flames driven by Chu Tai.

Xuannv shook the bone scroll in her hand at the same time, and black and white light appeared on it, and then quickly spread outward, emitting billions of brilliant lights, falling into the chaotic second life net, stirring up layers of densely packed, countless tiny light spots, which were connected together by red lines, according to the Nine Palaces Numerology and the Eight Trigrams, alternating and flowing, constructing layer after layer of formations, trying to trap Chu Tai completely in it.

Chu Tai quickly stepped back and tried to struggle, but he was still a step too slow.

While Xuannv was shaking the bone scroll, countless phantoms of flowers appeared on her body, and hundreds of phantoms of fairies also appeared, waving red lines to block Chu Tai's magical powers.

Another one hundred and eight divine lights intertwined, anchoring the void cosmic light, making Chu Tai unable to move.

Therefore, when Chu Tai retreated, his body was bound by the black and white light, and then was struck down by thousands of sword energies.

Looking at the golden lamp in his hand, Chu Tai raised it high, and his body spread out, turning into a clear light that covered the golden lamp. At the same time, the incarnation of Xiang Jun Xiang Furen, who was in an unspeakable state, used the previously blessed talisman and the cause and effect of the other party killing his incarnation to start a spell in the air.

One of the aliases of the sixth-grade Dao fruit fragment [Spell] under the system of Xiangjun and Xiangfuren is the sorcerer, who has mastered a large number of rituals of cursing and counter-cursing, and possesses a large number of strange abilities that can be exerted through cause and effect.

The fourth-grade Dao Fruit fragment [Transmission] possesses certain powers in the fields of spells, teachings, mystery, and karma, and has the ability to teach spells to others. Combined with the power of the Patriarch Emperor, it constructed the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady Talisman in the previous sixth-grade blood lotus.

Now, all these things turned into curses and appeared on Xuannv, suppressing her mind, and the remaining clear light of Chu Tai's incarnation rolled up a golden lamp and fell on Xuannv's eyebrows, temporarily suppressing her mind.

The incarnation of Lord Xiang and Madam Xiang stood up and planned to go in and suppress it personally.

But just when Chu Tai entered the cyclical illusory world again, countless changes occurred. Unspeakable power emerged with his arrival, destroying the changes in the cycle at a speed that he could not react to. The second layer of fate net that could have served as a buffer was unable to function due to the mutual interference between the golden lamp and Xuannv, causing the third layer of fate net to begin to collapse.

Chu Tai stretched out his hand to rescue some people, but just as he raised his hand, the ever-changing heavenly music echoed and the fragrance of a thousand kinds of immortal fragrance filled his nose. Turning his head, he once again saw the figure of the Taoist who was emitting hundreds of billions of rays of light, illuminating the ten directions and manifesting many Taoist principles and laws.

Chu Tai said respectfully: "Greetings, Grandmaster!"

"What do you think of walking through this world?"

Cang Qingshi, or part of Taiyi Zhenjun's consciousness, looked at Chu Tai, reached out and took out the illusory golden lamp from the circulating cloud pattern, and handed it to Chu Tai.

At the same time, he flipped his palm, the cloud pattern shattered, and hundreds of spiritual lights rose up from inside, gathered together and handed to Chu Tai.

Looking carefully, the spiritual light was exactly the spirituality of the living beings circulating in the heaven and earth, and it was also the foundation of their souls.

He was holding the golden lamp and the spiritual light, feeling somewhat at a loss. After pondering for a long time, he said to the True Lord: "Just as the mysterious woman said, I was too careless. I actually thought that I could control everything, which ultimately led to all the failures. If I could have guessed this part in advance and then made a countermeasure..."

"You still don't understand..."

Master Taiyi shook his head and said, "This is not a question of whether you guessed it or not, but a question of whether you should let it go!"

"You can't fully grasp all changes, just like I can't grasp all changes."

"As someone who has been through this, I advise you that for many things, you can try them if you are 60% to 70% sure. 70% to 80% sure is already very high. It is impossible to be 80% to 90% sure of everything, and don't even think that you can perfectly control all changes. Therefore, most of the time, we only need to consider whether we are willing to do this thing and whether we can do it."

Chu Tai was a little confused, and looked at Zhenjun and said, "Even if that would cause very serious consequences?"

Upon hearing this, Master Taiyi chuckled and said, "Why do you think I chose to connect the two great heavens back then? Why didn't you fellow Taoists stop me before? Are you really sure that my choice back then was the worst?"
