Chapter 885 Thirty-three Heavenly Lords

“I never thought that Lingji Bodhisattva would choose this path in the end.”

Taibai Jinxing, who saw everything in heaven, felt a little emotional, but was also happy for Lingji Bodhisattva.

As one of the nine stars, Taibai Jinxing actually has his own understanding of the entire heaven and earth. In his view, whether it is gods, immortals, or Buddhas, as long as they fulfill their duties and do their own things well, it will be fine.

Just like Venus itself, it has four completely different forms.

He is more like a god of war, representing the divinity of change and killing, and he manifests himself as a young general with a handsome appearance. At that time, he loved fighting everywhere, and every time he appeared, there was fighting and killing.

He is still a god of war, but during the period when he is in charge of swords, generals, killing, and gold, silver, steel, jade and other things in the world, his image is a middle-aged official wearing a white crane and white clouds robe. At this time, he will be more easy-going. Although he is still warlike, he will pay attention to influence.

When the tendency is towards virtual disasters and diseases, Taibai Jinxing appears as a goddess wearing yellow clothes, a cock's comb, and playing the pipa. At this time, she will exercise her authority diligently and responsibly to reduce the excess population.

As for the current image of the old man, his essence is to absorb the concept of immortal practice, making his godhead more noble, and at the same time, using the power to monitor good and evil, he suppressed the powers of change, killing, war, weapons, army, plague, disaster, etc. that he originally possessed.

This is also the reason why Taibai Jinxing chose to hide himself immediately after discovering that there was a problem with the previous Emperor of Heaven, and why Chu Tai came out to help immediately after he took over the sovereignty.

As a god, he could not resist when the Emperor of Heaven did evil things and could only choose to remain silent.

Even if Taibai had been given a glimmer of hope, he might have raised the banner of rebellion and tried to change the destiny.

But Taibai knew clearly that he could not defeat the Emperor of Heaven, and after his death, the corresponding power would inevitably fall into the hands of the Emperor of Heaven, cutting off more hope for the human world, so he could only remain silent and maintain the operation of heaven and earth.

Chu Tai's arrival proved that his choice was correct.

Now, seeing that Lingji Bodhisattva has come to his senses and made a choice that suits his own heart, he will naturally be happy for him.

His emotion made Chu Tai curious and a little scared.

Curiosity is because this kind of emotion can complete the [One] that Chu Tai has mastered, while fear is the cognition under this kind of innate divinity, which is exactly the emotional characteristic that acquired creatures fear the most.

Absolute purity.

It is an interpretation of [One] and also a negation of [Man], [Earth] and [Heaven].

Absolute purity itself is a kind of "one", but it cannot support a "person", reflect the "earth" of all things, or outline the complete "sky".

And [One] [Heaven] [Earth] [Man] is one of the important cores for Chu Tai to build his own foundation.

Just as "Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things."

The [Taiyi] Dao Fruit that Chu Tai sought, if nothing unexpected happens, should be [Tao].

It is also [One], it is [Taiji] [Hunyuan] [Wuji] [Chaos] [Original]...

It is also [two], [two principles], [yin and yang], [heaven and earth], [virtual and real], [movement and stillness], [existence and non-existence]...

It is also [three], it is [three talents], [three elements], [three ones], [heaven], [earth], [man]...

It is [everything], [everything], [everything], [pure], [single], [changing], [starting point], [end point], [absolute], [relative]...

Therefore, the complete [Taiyi] Dao Fruit can carry [absolute purity], but the imperfect [Taiyi] Dao Fruit, at least the [Taiyi] Dao Fruit that Chu Tai possesses at the moment, cannot contain [absolute purity] very well.

That would destroy the power he holds.

Affects the balance within the [Taiyi] Dao Fruit he constructed.

But Chu Tai himself cannot reject this kind of [purity] and [absoluteness] because it is also part of [Taiyi].

In the end, Chu Tai could only observe Taibai Jinxing's emotions and the series of changes that resulted from these emotions with curiosity but also some rejection.

Taibai Jinxing, who didn't know what Chu Tai was thinking, withdrew his gaze and planned to take Chu Tai to the next palace.

"This is Chonghua Palace, and it is also the place where the evil emperor imprisoned some demons with abundant spiritual energy that can be repeatedly extracted. The demon-suppressing well inside is also an independent cave opened up by the evil emperor."

"Oh?"

Chu Tai looked at it intently and found that the Demon-Suppressing Well was quite interesting. Its overall structure in terms of space was somewhat similar to a thirty-three-story pagoda standing upside down in Chonghua Palace, with the spire pointing towards the human world. In some way, it extracted spiritual energy and the power of incense and vows, and then passed through the thirty-three floors of the pagoda, after layer by layer of filtering, leaving pure spiritual energy, waiting to be collected by the heavenly slaves.

The so-called Demon-Suppressing Well is actually the bottom of the thirty-three-story pagoda.

The so-called thirty-three demons were essentially the big demons on each floor of the pagoda.

But after a careful observation, Chu Tai couldn't help but sneer and said, "Thirty-three demons? They are thirty-three gods with distorted essences. As for those so-called demon generals and demon soldiers, they are actually the products of the ascension of believers in the human world..."

As he spoke, Chu Tai gently tapped the Demon-Suppressing Well with the Ruyi in his hand, turning it upside down again, and thirty-three layers of demonic light rose up.

At the same time, strong auras emerged from the magic light. These auras were either surrounded by yin energy, or fierce and domineering, or wild and primitive, or mysterious and ancient...

Under heavy pressure, the universe and the way of cosmic light in Chonghua Palace began to distort. The lights in the palace flickered, the brightness was uncertain, the gravity was also disordered, the decorations sometimes floated up and sometimes fell, and everything became distorted.

"Interesting, someone is willing to open this thirty-three heavens Miro Pagoda..."

"Interesting. This pagoda is clearly the embodiment of the power of heaven, yet you are able to turn it upside down. Who are you?"

"Who cares who he is? As long as he can get us out, he's a good guy. We've been sealed for so long. We finally have a chance, but he doesn't say anything nice?"

"Wusi Jiangyou, don't even think about going out. Can't you see? The Ruyi in the other party's hand has a bit of Jade Yaoguang feeling. It's obvious that he is here to save us."

"Save us? It's been so many years. Don't you think it's too late to do it now?"

"That's right, that's right. We are already filthy now. How can we still be saved?"

"Besides, Ruyi looks even more murderous than Jade Yaoguang. Rather than saving us, he should be the one to kill us."

"That's right. The believers we have collected over the years have become increasingly corrupt. It's clear that the human world can't hold out for much longer. Rather than converting them, it's more cost-effective to squeeze out the last bit of our strength."

Faced with the emotions of suspicion, exploration, teasing, mocking, terror, and temptation in the magic light, Taibai Jinxing carefully analyzed the power composition, and suddenly his eyes widened slightly.

"Great Emperor Huang Zeng Heavenly Lord, Great Ming Yu Wan Heavenly Lord, Qing Ming He Tong Lord, Xuan Tai Ping Yu Lord, Yuan Ming Wen Ju Heavenly Lord, Qi Yao Mo Yi... Aren't you not born yet? Why are you here? And you are regarded as demons?"

"I said before that they are not the masters of the thirty-three heavens, but distorted gods, or the product of someone trying to split the heavens? Or, are they the product of the struggles of the previous generation of Heavenly Emperors?"

Chu Tai was also a little uncertain, and was a little hesitant when he said this, because he saw many very normal prohibitions and patterns on the Thirty-three Heavens Miro Pagoda.

The abilities of these things are probably to gather divinity, purify spirituality, maintain sanity, and fight madness, but later they were artificially coated with a second layer, which distorted some of their power, so that the thirty-three heavenly demons in front of them are somewhat abnormal.

What’s even more interesting is that no matter the normal magic restrictions and patterns on the bottom layer or the distorted magic restrictions and patterns on the second layer, the source of power is the same person, that is, the previous Emperor of Heaven who was banished to the underworld by Chu Tai.

Chu Tai's words made the thirty-three magic lights stunned for a moment. They wanted to observe Chu Tai's breath, but they were defeated by Ruyi at the moment of contact, exposing more of their essence.

Chu Tai sighed and said, "As expected, the essence of these guys is partly a concept of heaven, but more of it is actually turbid air corresponding to the spiritual rhythm. The two are centered on the thirty-three heavens, distorting the divinity and essence, and constructing the thirty-three demon gods in front of us."

"This power?"

"Wait, this ability!"

"Quick! Quick!"

Chu Tai had just analyzed the essence of the opponent's power when the power of the thirty-three demons began to move towards Chu Tai frantically, hoping to use his hand to free themselves and reveal their true nature.

This move made Chu Tai a little worried. He refused decisively and asked them why they did this.

"Since you have seen our true nature, I think you can also see that the thirty-three of us are actually parts of another person's nature."

As soon as one voice fell, another voice immediately continued to explain: "We need your help to get rid of our filthy shells and restore our essence..."

Halfway through the conversation, the second voice suddenly stopped, and one of the thirty-three magic lights dimmed. The third voice sounded: "Reorganize, and let the real heaven..."

"emperor……"

"Return..."

"Come."

In just half a sentence, several voices echoed, and four more magic lights dimmed.

Moreover, the magic light quickly recovered and became even more turbid.

"See? We cannot tell the truth. Once we open our mouths, our essence will be further distorted..."

"We are no longer able to protect more believers. Their souls will be squeezed out of us sooner or later..."

"Gan Lingyun, so we need your help..."

Three more demonic lights dimmed and became filthy, but Chu Tai became even more alert.

He pondered for a while, looked at the Thirty-three Heavens Miro Pagoda, and asked, "The person this pagoda was originally intended to seal is the same person as you?"

"Do not……"

Five voices sounded at the same time, allowing Chu Tai to hear that word. At the same time, four demonic lights dimmed and became turbid, and one was about to collapse.

Chu Tai thought of something and asked again, "Is the person who refined the pagoda the Emperor of Heaven?"

"Yes……"

This time there were seven voices, all dimmed and turned turbid.

At this time, Chu Tai had already obtained the information he wanted. He looked at Taibai Jinxing beside him and asked, "Did the time when the Lord of the Thirty-three Heavens appeared coincide with the time when the Emperor of Heaven fell and became alienated?"

Taibai Jinxing also understood the key, looked at the Thirty-three Heavens Miro Pagoda, and whispered: "Yes."

After receiving this news, Chu Tai looked at the thirty-three magic lights and said, "Can you let me purify one of you first so that I can determine your true nature?"

"It's difficult. We are all one."

Another ray of magic light dimmed, and only about one third of the normal magic light remained.

Chu Tai was silent for a moment. Taibai Jinxing beside him suddenly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, can you let me try?"

"How are you going to try?"

"I am one of the Nine Star Lords, and I have absorbed some concepts of the immortal way. I have a certain pure true meaning, and a small part of the concept of heaven. If I integrate it into a certain existence, I can draw out their essence."

Taibai Jinxing said, raised his hand and released a ray of spiritual light, and then said: "As long as your majesty agrees, I will pass the message to the other brothers now and inform them of the situation here, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings."

Chu Tai knew that Taibai Jinxing's action would inevitably pollute himself, so he wanted to refuse and said, "Wait a little longer."

Taibai Jinxing didn't think so. He was delighted by Lingji Bodhisattva's choice. Now he felt that he had found his greatest meaning. He bowed again and said, "Your Majesty, please help me!"

Chu Tai refused for the second time, and Taibai Jinxing requested for the third time.

With a sigh, Chu Tai did not speak again, but only granted a higher-level Dao Fruit fragment. Taibai sent out the spiritual light, and then said to Mo Guang: "Who will cooperate with me?"

Many magic lights were entangled with each other. The last one, which was not very turbid and had an aura that was more in line with Taibai Jinxing's magic light, fell down and merged with it.

In an instant, the Geng and Xin metal energies surged, and the starlight of Taibai changed. Chu Tai silently activated the power of the Donghuang Bell and added it to the fragments of the Tao fruit in Taibai Jinxing's body to protect its essence.

As the metal energy of Geng and Xin became turbid and the light of Taibai star became filthy, a point of all-encompassing precious light gradually emerged from the magic light. At the same time, thirty-two magic lights around it twisted and covered this magic light.

The magic light shook violently, bombarding Taibai Jinxing away, and then was distorted and swallowed by the other thirty-two magic lights. When it lit up again, it was already the most turbid one.

Taibai Jinxing's face was covered in filth. When he fell to the ground, he cried and laughed, and said to Chu Tai: "Your Majesty, it's the original Your Majesty, the evil emperor is not Your Majesty!"

The words were a bit confusing, but Chu Tai understood them clearly. The first "Your Majesty" Taibai said was referring to himself, while the second and third "Your Majesty" were referring to the real previous Heavenly Emperor.

To put it simply, the previous Heavenly Emperor was not the evil emperor who committed evil deeds later, and the many evil deeds between heaven and earth today have nothing to do with him.

'If so, it can explain why the West Heaven was able to seize part of the East Heaven's destiny.'

Chu Tai looked at the thirty-three magic lights and the thirty-three heavenly Miro Pagoda, and a hint of enlightenment appeared in his eyes.
