Donghuang Ziji

Chapter 872 Corpse in Ziyun Mountain

Every time Chu Tai uttered a name, it caused great oppression to the Spider Spirit's family.

In other words, every name Chu Tai said contained some kind of divine power, which allowed those who heard it to see certain sides of him.

For example, the name Qingtong is the image of the immortal, Riyao is the image of the Emperor of the Underworld, Taiyi is the image of the Lord of Rescue, Taiqing and Taining, one manifests as the sky and the other settles on the earth, and as for the last Taiyi, it is a vague construction of an illusory Taoist holding a precious bell.

But Chu Tai did not finish his words. He looked at the spider spirits and continued, "Of course, you can also call me Bodhisattva, Buddha, True Man, True Lord, Emperor, or Demon Lord..."

As before, when talking about Bodhisattva and Buddha, everyone vaguely saw the Buddhist image sitting on a lotus platform, and when talking about True Man and True Lord, it was the immortal image surrounded by rosy clouds, the Emperor was the divine image, and the Demon Lord represented endless resentment and incomparably terrifying disasters.

"May I ask, Your Majesty, what do you want?"

Among all the people present, only the old woman knew best how terrifying Chu Tai was. She stepped forward, protected her daughters behind her, straightened her spine, and looked back at Chu Tai.

Ruyi tapped lightly, and the tongue of Fighting Buddha flew out again. After its luck was taken away by Chu Tai, he looked at the spider spirit deeply.

"How many lives have you slaughtered?"

The daughters at the back suddenly felt something was wrong, and the fourth sister stepped forward and said, "Mother was seriously injured, so she used the spirit energy of living beings to heal her wounds. Most of them were just animals."

"In order to survive, he devoured lives. I won't say much, so what I asked was how many lives he slaughtered, not how many lives he devoured."

Chu Tai's cold words let the old woman know her fate. She bowed and said, "Your Excellency, I don't remember anything anymore."

"Don't remember?"

With a sigh, Chu Tai lightly tapped the old woman's brow with the Ruyi in his hand, and all the memories of the past emerged in the old woman's mind.

Whether it was his past practice in the Heavenly Palace, or his later fall into the mortal world and becoming a demon, or his loss of his yin essence in the Zhuo Gu Spring, all these memories flashed through her mind.

But soon, all the emotions dissipated.

Joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness, greed, anger, resentment, are nothing in the face of endless pain.

"I can't judge your past, and I can't judge your evil body with humanity, but I can't bear to see the killing of living beings, so I'll let you feel the pain of being slaughtered by you. If you can survive, I won't bother to care."

After Chu Tai finished speaking, he planned to go inside.

However, the fourth sister couldn't help but step forward again when she saw her mother's painful expression.

"My mother has been guarding your body for a long time. Why can't you show mercy and forgive her this time?"

"Have you been guarding my body for a long time?"

Chu Tai was stunned for a moment, and then he found out the reason. It was because of the cleansing spring behind Pansiling.

In Chu Tai's memory, the spring water was originally transformed from the nine golden crows that were shot down by Yi in the past. They are Wen, Tang, Xiangleng, Banshan, Donghe, Manshan, Xiaoan, Guangfen and Zhuogu, collectively known as the Nine Yang Springs.

Logically, this spring water should have nothing to do with Chu Tai.

Even if we calculate from the Sun Emperor's throne passed down by Taiyi Zhenren, most of the sunlight on the Sun Emperor's throne comes from the second generation of Golden Crow, rather than the nine Golden Crows shot down by Houyi.

Obviously, Chu Tai's current identity should have nothing to do with it. To put it bluntly, even if Chu Tai really had a relationship with Zhuo Guquan, it didn't mean that the spider spirit was guarding his body. Therefore, Chu Tai didn't think about it at all.

But after being reminded by the fourth sister, Chu Tai made a calculation and was surprised to find that the Zhuo Gu Spring in the current time period was actually the physical body of the second generation Golden Crow.

Moreover, in the current period, Taiyi Zun in his early years also used the Nine Yang Spring to cleanse the filth of the souls of the dead in the underworld.

If we really want to make a connection, this can actually be linked to the throne of the Sun Emperor held by Chu Tai.

But the relationship between the two ends here, there is no other connection.

Therefore, Chu Tai just looked back at the fourth sister and chuckled, "Have you forgotten the last sentence I said before? I am the Demon Lord. Do I need mercy? Just like you, in terms of humanity, you have also harmed many people, but did I blame you before?"

As the words fell, the fourth sister opened her mouth and spat out a large mouthful of blood, then collapsed to the ground and turned into her original form.

Chu Tai crossed the boundary of the cave and walked into Ziyun Mountain. The first thing he saw was a blood-red pillar of light that stretched through the sky in the cave.

It was made up of dense blood-colored threads, continuously injecting the turbid air and sins of the heaven into a blood egg in the center of the cave.

At the edge of the blood egg, Chang Xuan, Xie Ling and Fu Ying had already started fighting with the owner of this place, the Hundred-Eyed Demon.

The hundred-eyed demon is actually a centipede that has attained enlightenment. He is also called the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord and the Many-Eyed Monster. The sword in his hand is made from the centipede's shed shell. Although it is called a sword, it is actually more like a combination of a whip and a sword. It can be stretched and changed, and is quite difficult to deal with.

There were many golden eyes dotted on it, and with a slight shake, a dense yellow mist would surge, and brilliant golden light would gush out, dimming the sun and moon, and making the mind hazy. It had to be suppressed by the combined efforts of Xie Ling and Fu Ying.

As for Chang Xuan, because his original form was a snake, he was restrained by the centipede and had to retreat. He chose to deal with a demon king under the command of the Hundred-Eyed Demon.

Chu Tai glanced at the five people fighting, then retracted his gaze and walked step by step to the foot of Ziyun Mountain. Looking at the coiled red python, he asked, "If I'm not mistaken, you are also an immortal in the Heavenly Palace. You came here to save Vimala and the Pleiades star official. Now that the opportunity has come, why are you just watching here?"

The python looked at Chu Tai, trembling slightly in its heart, and cautiously came down from the tree, transforming into a female fairy in red, bowing and saying, "The little fairy greets the emperor."

"Your aura seems to be from the Lishan lineage, so why are you here? How is the Mother of Lishan now?"

Chu Tai now has a destiny, his cultivation is constantly improving, and with the blessing of multiple Dao fruits from the Donghuang Bell, he can tell the origin of the female fairy with just one glance and ask about her master's situation.

"Your Majesty, ever since the incident in the Heavenly Palace, my teacher has fallen into a deep sleep and has never woken up. I had no choice but to seek refuge in the Heavenly Palace, but I didn't expect that the Heavenly Palace had already become a demon's den..."

As she spoke, the fairy looked at the blood egg on Ziyun Mountain and cried out sadly, "I never thought that the former Pleiades star official would end up like this."

"I'm afraid that Pleiades is not the only one who is unlucky. There is also a female corpse that is undergoing transformation under this mountain."

Chu Tai looked towards the foot of Ziyun Mountain and lightly stroked the empty space in front of him with his fingers. A ray of light passed through the layers of earth veins and reflected the flesh and blood of a Bodhisattva wearing a five-flowered brocade hat and a colorful gold-woven robe.

Although this physical body is dead, the Buddha's fruit within it has not fallen, and the Buddha's light still circulates to resist external evil.

However, the strands of blood-colored light hanging from above originated from the blood eggs. They were connected by blood and could not be resisted even by the bright Buddha's light. Therefore, the Bodhisattva's face did not appear holy at all, but rather slightly hideous.

At this moment, black feathers had begun to grow on the neck of the Bodhisattva, and his lips showed signs of turning into a bird's beak. The lotus throne beneath him had become a nest for many insects, laying the foundation for many insect eggs.

Seeing this, the red-robed fairy suddenly changed color and cried out in grief, "Although I guessed that she would not escape her fate, I never thought she would end up like this."
