Chapter 723 Infinite Cycle Disaster

Outside the Baishi Spiritual Realm, rays of light were dancing, vital energy was surging, and several cultivators were fighting.

"You guys are so weird. There's obviously nothing in this White Stone Spirit Realm, but you still want to cause trouble here! Are you crazy for money?"

Taoist Zhengyang stood in the void, pushing his magic power to the extreme. Layers of cloud light rippled above his head. A bit of true fire as small as a grain of rice rose up, and turned into a piece of Sun Pill Morning Light True Qi that fell down and swept around.

In front of him, a short Taoist priest had rays of light like meteors flying up and down around him. Each of these rays of light was shaped like a flying shuttle, sometimes swimming slowly like a fish, and sometimes shooting left and right like lightning, occupying several miles of land around the Baishi Spiritual Realm and oppressing the space where Taoist Zhengyang was.

The Taoist looked at Zhengyang and said with a smile: "If there is no treasure, what are you doing here? Can't you let me investigate a little?"

"This is my dojo, why should I open it to you?"

As he spoke, Taoist Zhengyang raised the Yan Emperor's Yaoqiong Flag and waved it violently. Flames rose up and turned into a wave that surged upward.

The Taoist sneered upon seeing this, and pinched his hand techniques. The flying lights scattered around suddenly gathered together, like a moth to a flame, rushing into the fire wave, crushing it, and then pointing directly at the vital points of Zhengyang's body.

During this time, more light jumped out from the void, and in an instant, it formed a wave of starlight, suppressing the methods of Taoist Zhengyang.

Upon seeing this, Taoist Zhengyang again summoned the Three Yang Ming Xin Lantern. Layers of lights overlapped and turned into a light curtain, hanging upside down with waves of fire. At the same time, Taoist Mujing, who was hiding in the dark, stretched out his hand and some human fireworks rose up and merged into the sky full of flames.

The fire burned brightly, instantly overpowering the starlight. The Taoist's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly retreated. However, when Taoist Zhengyang sacrificed the Three Yang Bright Heart Lantern, he also sacrificed another magical weapon, the Nine-story Golden Exquisite Pagoda.

It was previously concealed by the flames, but now it appeared, spinning in the air, dropping brilliant golden light, fixing the Taoist, and then smashing hard on the head of his six yangs, causing red and white to splatter, which was extremely terrifying.

Then a wave of fire swept up, burning it clean, and disappeared into a few wisps of green smoke.

Taoist Zhengyang stepped forward, packed up the things left by the Taoist, returned to the Baishi Spiritual Realm, and discussed countermeasures with Taoist Mujing inside.

"This is already the third cultivator this month. This is not a solution. I should just use the spirit wood to rebuild my body."

"Absolutely not. Daoist friend, you have merged with the earth veins. It took you a lot of effort over the years to gather the power of incense and vows, and condensed a golden body of Dharma. As long as you merge it with the spiritual wood, you can return to the world as a fifth-grade body, and there is hope that you can become a fourth-grade body in the future. How can you ruin your future foundation for some outsiders?"

Taoist Zhengyang resolutely refused and consoled him, "Besides, Changpu, Mozhi and Cangxuan will come back to take charge once Cangxuan has completely absorbed the dragon nature. At that time, we won't have to be afraid of these jackals."

Taoist Mu Jing shook his head and said, "You and I can handle these jackals, but what if tigers and leopards come? Daoist friend, I have a feeling that these people are not only because of the recent changes in the energy of heaven and earth, but more because my calamity has arrived."

Taoist Zhengyang couldn't help but frown when he heard this. He knew that the fate of the Central Plains was unusual now, and he was also aware that the problems Taoist Mujing encountered were compounded.

One is that recently there has been evil energy rising from the veins and energy of the earth, and many immortals have come out to suppress and repair it. During this period, they may have discovered rare treasures, or their minds may have been affected. In any case, there has been an increase in killing and fighting between them, and it is no longer as peaceful as before.

The second is that Taoist Mu Jing's cultivation is gradually recovering, and his physical body has gained some divine power, which has aroused the backlash of the remaining Holy King Avenue. Thanks to the recent turmoil in the human world and the impact of the two-day connection, Taoist Mu Jing is able to be reborn with his divine body and the spirit wood, and forge a higher-level Taoist body.

But this move was ultimately suppressed by the incomplete Saint King Avenue. A calamity was befalling, and coupled with the recent unusual movements of the mountains, rivers and earth, many monks with dusty minds believed that there were natural treasures being produced here, and they surrounded it one after another, trying to get a piece of the pie.

At the beginning, Taoist Zhengyang was still able to persuade them kindly, but now he chose to kill them directly, which undoubtedly showed that he himself was also affected.

This is also one of the reasons why Taoist Mu Jing intends to give up his original method of rebirth. He is worried about his own calamity and wants to involve Taoist Zhengyang in it.

Taoist Zhengyang, who understood his fellow Taoist's concerns, spoke to comfort him, "I haven't spent these years in vain. I have a solid foundation in the fifth-grade realm. My magical powers and magical weapons have been upgraded several times. Generally, wolves, tigers and leopards are not a problem for me. What's more, I have your help. Wood can help the fire, which is enough to deal with most situations."

"Besides, that spiritual wood was sent to you by Daoist Fellow Chu after he learned of your situation. You shouldn't waste his kindness." Upon hearing this, Taoist Mu Jing couldn't help but sigh, "Daoist Fellow Chu has had a hard time too. My junior sister went back to Chu a while ago and heard that many of his former Daoists died in this turmoil."

"At that time, I thought of my old friends. I wonder how they are doing now, especially Fellow Daoist Chu. He finally managed to pull Taiyi Xianmen back on track and regain some of its former glory. But now he has suffered such a huge shock. I'm afraid he is not doing well either."

"I received favors from him several times before, so I should have gone to help him now. But not only did I fail to help, I received even more favors from him."

As he spoke, Taoist Mu Jing glanced at a spiritual tree above his spiritual realm. It was a thousand-year-old spiritual tree that Chu Tai had asked someone to send to him. It was also one of the foundations of his rebirth. A spiritual fetus had been nurtured by Chu Tai in it. He only needed to integrate his condensed golden body of the god into it, and then he could return to the human world.

What Taoist Mu Jing didn't know was that when he and Taoist Zhengyang communicated with Chu Tai, Chu Tai, who had been paying attention to the changes in the situation in the world, immediately sensed it and knew about the changes here.

He took a look at Taoist Mu Jing's situation from a distance, and then mobilized a little bit of Taibai's power to help him anchor the possibility of future success. At the same time, he slightly brought about some causes and conditions so that he could live a more stable life in the next period of time.

At the same time, Chu Tai also paid attention to Changpu, Mo Hong and Cang Xuan.

At this moment, the three of them had just returned from the North Sea. Cang Xuan obtained the inheritance that Chu Tai had calculated at the beginning, and was supposed to continue practicing there.

After learning about Mu Jing's situation and the changes in Zhongyuan, he hurried back. On the way, he continued to purify his dragon nature and improve his cultivation. For this purpose, he even broke and reorganized his foundation treasure, the Cang Xuan Dragon Ball, extracting its dragon nature and making it a pure water element magic weapon, the Cang Xuan Pearl.

'This move is indeed somewhat self-inflicted.'

Feeling Cang Xuan's sacrifice, Chu Tai continued to help him a little, and at the same time let him encounter the location of the power fragments of Hun Dong Zun. The water element power in that place was more abundant, which allowed him to purify his own foundation and increase his strength.

As for Changpu and Mozhi who were traveling with him, they also made considerable improvements after several battles, especially Changpu. She completely refined the Golden Chisel Destroying Axe, broke up its form and integrated it into the magic weapons Baidi Golden Axe and Taibai Spectral Sword that she had refined herself, thoroughly absorbing the principles behind it and was considered a good player among the fifth-grade masters.

As for Mo Zhu, his situation was similar. He received guidance from Yun Zhongjun in the Northern Wilderness. The Seal of the True Forms of Mountains and Rivers absorbed many of the true forms of the mountains and rivers in the Northern Wilderness, and also condensed a unique magical power, which was not much inferior to that of Chang Pu.

As for the two, Chu Tai couldn't force them to grow too fast, so he could only give them some blessings from afar.

After doing all this, Chu Tai's gaze continued to move, looking at the boy from the Qiu family who somehow got together with Weng Jie Guo, Wu Chaoxi, Feifei and Mao'er who went out to cooperate with Taiyi Xianmen to stabilize the situation, and Guo Shan who opened up the mountain gate. While ensuring that they did not encounter any major problems, he gave them certain blessings to enhance the power of the talismans they blessed, so that they would have more ability to deal with disasters.

By observing their actions, Chu Tai continued to expand the influence of his own network of karma, and then relied on the power of [Taibai] and [Diandao] to subtly interfere with the destiny and changes in various places, so that the entire situation began to move forward in the direction he hoped.

The forces that intervened in the situation were found out bit by bit, and compared one by one, and gradually it was determined that the three parties were actually controlling the increasingly chaotic situation.

The first one is naturally a cultivator from Junmo Dao. Chu Tai was not surprised by this. He would only be worried if this guy didn't intervene.

The second is that there are some cave-heaven forces hidden under the Humanitarian Dynasty, which is not very surprising.

After all, whenever dynasties change, these heirs of the Holy King Avenue will always interfere. To put it nicely, it is to ensure the inheritance of the Holy King, and to put it bluntly, it is to prevent external forces from interfering in the change of dynasties of humanity.

This was also the reason why Chu Tai previously suspected that the first disaster in the infinite cycle of heaven and earth corresponded to the Humanitarian Dynasty.

But what Chu Tai really couldn't understand was the third thing. Some aristocratic families and officials within the Humane Dynasty were actually adding fuel to the flames, driving the current order towards collapse.

And according to subsequent feedback, they were not destroying for the sake of their own families or their own cultivation, but simply for the sake of destruction.

It was as if they themselves had been eroded by the power of Hundong Zun, or affected by unspeakable forces, and had lost their normal logic. Because of their own despair, they only thought about destruction and devastation.
