Donghuang Ziji

Chapter 754: Enjoying Lanterns on the Mountaintop

The many changes in the underworld seem very complicated, but in fact, with the help of the Tianren Ding and the protection of Donghuang, the flow rate of cosmic light in the underworld is different from that in the human world. When it is initially perfected, less than a cup of tea has passed in the human world.

The perfection of the underworld directly led to the further enhancement of the concept of Mount Tai. The earth veins around it kept rolling, and the divine and human aura gathered in the Cauldron of Heaven and Man fell down, allowing it to further and completely manifest the characteristics of the dragon veins, and connect with part of the Saint King Avenue. An endless stream of mysterious and yellow aura fell down, and the earth energy in Mount Tai kept rolling, and then the essence of Jia and Yi wood kept improving.

Chu Tai called over Shao Siming and Dong Jun, and the two landed on Mount Tai. Strands of vitality fell down, connecting with the sun above and the core of the earth below, connecting with the fire veins and gold mines. Then, fire created earth, earth created gold, gold created water, and water created wood. After the five elements were in operation, Chu Tai also took the opportunity to drop Taiyi Siming, the three degrees of the Five Emperors' wonderful qi.

As the third-grade true qi promoted from the fourth-grade Taiyi Xuanhui wonderful Taoist true qi that belongs exclusively to Chu Tai, the Taiyi Siming Three Degrees Five Emperors wonderful qi not only contains the power of the Taiyi Dao fruit and the wonder of the Donghuang Bell's innate qi, but also contains many meanings of Chu Tai's previous actions.

The so-called three degrees refer to saving oneself, saving others, and saving the world. They reflect Chu Tai’s mood at the time, and are also the natural changes after the interaction between heaven and man.

The Five Emperors are the ultimate manifestation of the essence of the five directions, the embodiment of cultivation, Chu Tai's ability to influence reality, and the interference force of his vitality and matter.

The combination of the two, coupled with Chu Tai's [Taiyi] Dao Fruit, gave him control over cause and effect, the power of life and death, and earned him the name Siming.

Therefore, when this true Qi fell, it was easily combined with Mount Tai, moving the five elements, and responding to the breath of the people below who were gradually connected with the underworld. It spread in all directions, extending up and down, to the southeast, northwest, and formed a three-dimensional formation that relied on the changes in the earth's veins, with the people as its foundation and the Saint King's Avenue as its veins. It was extremely grand, mysterious and complex, and it enveloped the concept of the East little by little.

Such a huge change naturally attracted the attention of the Holy King's heirs.

"Is this the Nine Provinces barrier that King Yu tried to set up in the past?"

One of the Saint Kings' successors who was expelling the influence of the Sovereign Demon Avenue on himself and constantly encroaching on the land of the Northern Wilderness looked in the direction of Mount Tai and sneered, "Establishing Mount Tai and establishing the Underworld is a good move. It can gain the favor of the heavens, the favor of the Avenue left by some of the Saint Kings in the past, and repay part of the karma of the Underworld."

"But now he wants to build a formation to suppress one side in the East. Who does he think he is? Is there anyone who can support such a large formation?"

"That is, even if he barely builds it, will the cultivators and sects in the East Land just watch him do it?"

"Oh, come to think of it, back then, the Jinhua Sect was one of the main forces that blocked our Saint King Avenue from expanding eastwards. Now it's time for the Sect Leader to feel what we felt in the past."

While several people were mocking, the three-dimensional formation arranged by Chu Tai was spreading, and the changes in its details were still spreading.

The subsequent changes were just as several people said. Slowly, Chu Tai could not control it alone. He could only rely on the power of the Donghuang Bell while sacrificing the Hunyuan Shangling Jade Emperor Miaodao Treasure Scroll to materialize the 365 kinds of changes of heaven and earth and the methods of refining 365 kinds of Taoist weapons contained therein.

At the same time, the Dao Soldier System in the Dao Fruit fragments around the Donghuang Bell began to take effect.

The Dao fruit fragments of this system were not broken, which meant that its core component was still the phantoms of the eight emperors and gods. Chu Tai used the gathered aura and willpower of all the people as the foundation, and coordinated with the ninth-grade [Dao soldiers], eighth-grade [Dharma protectors], and seventh-grade [divine soldiers] to quickly cultivate a large number of Daoist guardian soldiers, and then endowed them with some divine power with the divine destiny, and continued to improve this formation under the command of the incarnation of Donghuang.

On the earth, there are also ninth-grade [strongmen], eighth-grade [guardians], seventh-grade [armored], [tripod carriers], [demon subduers] and other strongmen who cooperate with mountain ghosts and Shao Siming's incarnation to deal with some details of the earth veins.

Then, some blessed places that had been intentionally collected by the cultivators before gradually appeared in this formation.

The existence of these blessed caves made many of the patterns of the formation uneven, and at the same time interfered with the normal operation of the formation to a certain extent. "Look, I said, let's see what he will do now? Keeping these blessed caves is like eating away the roots of his formation, but if he lets them give up part of their sovereignty, what price will the head of the Jinhua Sect pay?"

"Come on, some sects may unify, but how can the majority agree? After all, they practice for themselves."

"But it's better this way. If the East is unstable, the Junmo forces will not target me immediately... What is this..."

"Qingshi Fu Zhao! The Blood Demon has left? Wait, there is another light coming, is that... Yuli Fu Zhao? Damn... Is this Chu Daoist their illegitimate son? Protecting him so much..."

Amid the angry voices of several people, two talismans flew from Kunlun Mountain and the East China Sea. After falling into Chu Tai's hands, they naturally dispersed, emitting layers of rays of light. As the colorful halos changed, scenes of many blessed places appeared.

There are rolling mountains covered with green pines and cypresses, countless exotic flowers and plants, magnificent buildings, and a wealth of gold and silver, pearls and jade...

Many principles came together and, under the control of the two talismans, were integrated into the three-dimensional formation, becoming nodes. Their corresponding immortal destiny gathered in front of Chu Tai, controlled by him, and integrated into the Heaven and Man Cauldron.

During this period, it’s not that there were no sects that wanted to resist, but the Jade Calendar Talisman shook and then there was no sound, and they chose to accept it quietly.

With the help of many caves and heavens, Chu Tai stabilized the formation and completely took control of the East. He began to expel the erosion of Junmo Avenue bit by bit.

At the same time, it was at this time that Shao Siming, who was walking in the human world, differentiated some of the power left by the Junmo Avenue, turning it into wildness and animality, to stimulate the miscellaneous energy produced in the process of collision and interweaving of the Saint King Avenue and the Immortal Avenue, and to cultivate many new creatures.

For a time, roars and growls were heard in many places in the East, and many animals became spiritual. The fragments of the Tao fruits of the demon fairy system and the demon saint system were released, driving the changes in the destiny of the East.

Slowly, Chu Tai's aura standing on the top of Mount Tai became stronger and stronger. After the last formation base was stabilized, he bowed slightly to the incarnation of Donghuang.

The incarnation dissipated and the Donghuang Bell appeared. Chu Tai picked up the golden bell hammer and swung it violently, hitting it.

[Flood] The Dao Fruit fragments shattered, the cosmic light changed, the void vibrated, and above the three-dimensional formation, tiny dots of light flickered like starlight, revolving around Mount Tai, giving people a feeling of the movement of stars.

Then, the shadows of the sun, moon and stars emerged, and the light of the universe moved independently. Then, vitality came from the east, rolling heat waves came from the south, cool golden wind came from the west, and the severe cold of the 39th day of winter came from the north. The concepts of the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter flashed by.

Finally, the wind and rain arrived, nourishing the universe, all things grew, and heaven and man celebrated together.

But in just a short moment, Chu Tai made the concept of East Land temporarily independent and completely refined the Lord and Demon Avenue within it.

The three Taoist priests also returned to Mount Tai and recuperated for a few days before being awakened by the cumbersome noises of the human world.

When they looked down, they saw countless lights in the world. They were people who were gradually resuming work and holding a lantern festival to celebrate. It was said that they were imitating the scene when Chu Tai was arranging the formation and was surrounded by stars.
