Donghuang Ziji

Chapter 910: The Great Sage’s Light

The Donghuang Bell shook, and the eight systems of Tao fruits constructed by the Jiuge gods emerged one by one.

The most perfect of them is the second-grade Taoist fruit [Si Shi (Si Ming)] of Xiang Jun and Xiang Furen, followed by the second-grade Taoist fruit [She Zui Qing Hua (Fengdu Great Emperor)] of the Great Siming system.

Going down to the next are the second-grade Dao fruit [Zhu Shi (Earthly Immortal)] of the Donghuang system, which is not yet perfect, [Sheji] of the Shan Gui system, [Zhen Mo (Emperor Ruins)] of the He Bo system, [Shang Zhen (Great Sage)] of the Yunzhongjun system, [Shao Siming (Resurrection)] of the Shao Siming system and [Mu Gong] of the Dongjun system.

Each of these Tao fruits was greatly complemented by the will of countless sentient beings and the many principles that were completely released by the Emperor of Heaven.

The Dao Fruit of [Sheji] is directly approaching perfection, and what is missing is just one last communication with the heaven and earth and substantive interaction with civilization. [Zhu Shi (Earthly Immortal)] and [Shang Zhen (Great Sage)] are only one last step away from perfection.

[Demon Suppression (Emperor's Ruins)] [Shao Siming (Resurrection)] and [Mu Gong], although the improvement is not great, they are basically solidified with only the last bit of illusion left.

Chu Tai's power has been greatly improved, and his second-grade Taiyi Daoqi is also constantly transforming and changing.

Standing between heaven and earth, the Emperor of Heaven during the Journey to the West period watched the Taiyi Avenue wrapped in him continue to expand outward, and the filth condensed on it became more and more. While helping to suppress it, he watched the Taiyi Avenue collide with the avenues of the two great powers, Heaven and Demon, to see how much the Taiyi Avenue could digest if he took sides.

From the perspective of the Emperor of Heaven, Chu Tai's [Taiyi] Avenue has become more and more perfect with the blessing of the Nine-Layered Dao Fruit.

Cooperating with the Emperor of Heaven who let go of the origin of heaven and earth, everything operated like the coldest and most ruthless mathematics, without any consciousness, without any change, without any miracle, directly suppressing the many changes of the Heavenly Demon.

No matter how strange the power of the demons is, it is useless under such cruel calculations and can only be crushed and ground into a part of the construction of the Taiyi of Heaven.

This is the method Chu Tai came up with to deal with the demon.

In the world during the Journey to the West period, Chu Tai actually saw two ways of dealing with the Heavenly Demon.

The first is the method used by the National Master Wang Bodhisattva to attain enlightenment, which is to truly achieve no thoughts and no arising of any thoughts, and to use absolute emptiness to resist the changes of the demons.

But this move will inevitably fall into a contradictory situation.

That is, you can only protect yourself but cannot fight against the enemy. After all, even if you are the Emperor of Heaven who has transformed into an immortal, you can only have thoughts but not be confused by them. Once you have a thought, all kinds of demonic calamities will still come to you and you will be restrained by one or two of them.

For other living beings, remaining in a state of no thoughts is no different from death.

Therefore, after Chu Tai broke through and mobilized many Dao fruits, he did not choose the first method of coping, but learned the second method of coping taught by the Emperor of Heaven.

Exhaust all possibilities.

No matter how strange and unpredictable the ways of the Heavenly Demon are, they can turn the impossible into the possible. As long as all possibilities of the operation of heaven and earth are exhausted, the fruits of the Heavenly Demon's ways will be half wasted, and he can only wrestle with the Emperor of Heaven.

Chu Tai suspected that if it weren’t for the existence of Youtian, a simple demon would not be able to defeat the Emperor of Heaven.

Therefore, with the help of the Emperor of Heaven during the Journey to the West period and the blessing of the Emperor of Heaven who had transformed into an immortal, Chu Tai decisively anchored many principles with the Great Dao of Taiyi, and then trapped the power of the Heavenly Demon in it, constantly exhausting the changes and wearing it out bit by bit.

During this period, although the ability of the Heavenly Demon to turn the impossible into the possible was still in play, facing the oppression of the power of the two Heavenly Emperors, he was unable to transcend his status and could only fall within the calculation range of the Taiyi Avenue, and ended up in the same struggle.

And when the Heavenly Demon is suppressed by the Heavenly Emperor, how much power can he have to pollute Chu Tai? How long can he last under Chu Tai's constant crushing?

One day? Ten days? One month? One year?
Chu Tai has a lot of time now, so he can keep spending time with him.

Similarly, when facing the sky, Chu Tai came up with another set of targeted methods.

With the help of the wills of countless living beings, he turned his [Taiyi] Dao, constantly analyzing, understanding, parsing, and summarizing the Dao of Heaven, just like peeling off silk threads from a cocoon, constantly pulling out strands of Yuanqi from the laws of the Dao of Heaven.

The quantity of these Yuan Qi is very small, but the quality is very high, which has exceeded the normal first grade level.

At least unless Chu Tai uses the Donghuang Bell, he will not be able to affect the Yuan Qi at all.

However, with the unconscious help of the Immortal Daohua Datian Emperor, these Yuanqi were still differentiated into a state of cognition for countless living beings, gradually perfecting Chu Tai's [Taiyi] Dao.

Naturally, Chu Tai's thoughts and ideas could not be hidden from the perception of the devil and the sky.

Although the two were firmly suppressed by the Emperor of Heaven in the shadows of countless worlds in the Three Pure Ones, they were not completely unprepared over the years.

"You want to swallow both of us, but don't you check whether you have the appetite?"

The devil sneered. Although the sky was silent, existences similar to the Evil Emperor in the many illusory worlds slowly stood up.

The Taiyi of Chu Taitian shook and the stars twinkled.

Ziweiyuan, Zuoshu, Shangzai, Shaozai, Shangbi, Shaobi...

Taiweiyuan, the Eastern Prime Minister, the Eastern Second Prime Minister, the Eastern Second General, the Eastern Prime Minister...

Tianshiyuan, the market building, the carriage shop, the clan members, the clan leader...

These are the Three Enclosures, and below them are the Four Symbols, namely the Seven Eastern Constellations Jiao, Kang, Di, Fang, Xin, Wei, and Ji; the Seven Southern Constellations Jing, Gui, Liu, Xing, Zhang, Yi, and Zhen; the Seven Western Constellations Kui, Lou, and...

These stars were given various meanings by the Tiansi Ming who was controlled by the sky, and were interwoven into a huge star track in the Taiyi Avenue, trying to incorporate the constantly rotating Taiyi of the sky into his own order.

Of course, it doesn’t matter if we can’t shake the Taiyi Avenue.

Whether it is the Taiyi Avenue or the Starry Avenue manifested by the sky, they are essentially a kind of heavenly order, containing a vast force of the laws of operation of the universe. The collision of the two orders and the struggle between the two laws of operation of the universe mean that more changes will occur, providing opportunities for the Heavenly Demon to find loopholes and turn the impossible into possible.

But Chu Tai was also happy about it. For him, who had broken through to the second level under the protection of the Heavenly Emperor Xianxian Daohua Datian, it was also a further refinement of the Donghuang Bell. When facing the sky and the devil, he might not pose any threat, but being able to restrain a little bit of their power was a help to the Heavenly Emperor Xianxian Daohua Datian and the Heavenly Emperor in the current time period of Journey to the West, and gain more power, time and space for them.

As long as any one of the above three points is achieved, it is a sure win for Chu Tai. The Heavenly Emperor of the Journey to the West period, who also saw all this, was also happy to see this scene. Although he could communicate with the Heavenly Emperors of all the Journey to the West period, and even had a certain connection with the Heavenly Emperors of the other two time periods, he was actually assisting the Heavenly Emperor Xianxian Daohua Datian to suppress the Heaven and the Heavenly Demons more often.

It would be great to have an extra helper.

Because of this, the power that the Emperor of Heaven opened up to Chu Tai was almost endless.

Chu Tai's second-grade foundation became increasingly solid, the system of the eight great Dao fruits on the Donghuang Bell continued to improve, and [Suppressing Demons (Emperor's Ruins)] and [Shangzhen (Great Sage)] also tended to perfection in repeated battles with the gods and demons.

Similarly, the Three Buddhas system, the Yuanjun system, the Taoist soldier system, and even the Demon Immortal and Demon Saint systems also began to move towards perfection with such help at all costs.

Especially the Yuanjun system, Lishi system and Daobing system, which have a certain dependent nature.

Under the influence of information from almost all the gods, after the third-grade Dao Fruit [Madam] was formed, the Yuanjun system quickly moved towards the second-grade [Heavenly Concubine], and with the analysis of the sky, the Dao Fruit of [Heavenly Concubine] was constantly improved.

Compared with the independence of [Madam], the independence of [Heavenly Concubine] seems to be lower at first glance, but in fact, [Heavenly Concubine] means the wife of Heaven, a subordinate of [Queen]. However, the paired Heaven is not necessarily the Emperor of Heaven, it can also be simply [Heaven].

Therefore, when there is no existence similar to heaven, the independence of [Heavenly Concubine] is even higher. Because of the special nature of heaven, [Heavenly Concubine] even has imperial attributes, or attributes similar to those of a god-king.

Tracing the essence is a special method of dividing the power of heaven, similar to the emperor who created an independent world.

Looking at the [Heavenly Concubine] Dao Fruit, Chu Tai could probably guess that the first-grade Dao Fruit under the Yuanjun dependency system should be the [Queen of Heaven].

But now the Dao Fruit of [Tianfei] is limited by the fact that the third-grade Dao Fruit of [Goddess] on the other side of the Yuanjun system is still being improved, so the progress is slow.

Chu Tai then turned his attention to the wrestler system and the Taoist soldier system.

In the previous period of time, with the help of the gods in heaven, these two systems were perfected to the fifth-grade Dao Fruit fragments [Moving Mountains (Turning Seas)] and [Marshal], and it is difficult to make further progress.

This time, with the help of the Emperor of Heaven, he obtained the system information about the strong men and Taoist soldiers in the heavenly court in the world, and finally broke through the limitation of the fifth grade and entered the ranks of the fourth grade.

What's interesting is that the fourth-grade Dao fruit fragment under the warrior system is [Yellow Turban (Vajra)], while the fourth-grade Dao fruit fragment under the Taoist soldier system is [Spiritual Official (Jialan)]. After the two were formed, they even automatically formed many phantoms of Yellow Turban Warriors, Vajra, Spiritual Official, and Jialan around the Donghuang Bell.

And along with the appearance of these phantoms, there were also phantoms of strong men who could move mountains, overturn seas, split mountains, calm waves, wear armor, carry tripods, subdue demons, etc., as well as phantoms of many marshals, heavenly generals, divine soldiers, and guardians following the Yellow Turban Strongman, Vajra, Lingguan, and Jia Lan.

These phantoms took on the power of the other Dao fruits very well, helping to sort out the power and build a protection system. At the same time, they were also constantly strengthening the internal structural order of several Dao fruit systems. They were like lubricants, constantly dealing with the subtle conflicts among the many Dao fruits, especially the three Dao fruits of immortals, Buddhas and gods.

The specific manifestation is that the eight core Dao fruits mastered by Chu Tai were improved more quickly, and the [Demon Suppression (Emperor Ruins)] under the He Bo system came from behind and was perfected first, becoming the third complete and perfect second-grade Dao fruit mastered by Chu Tai.

Next are [Sheji] from the Mountain Ghost system and [Shangzhen (Great Sage)] from the Yunzhongjun system.

The perfection of these three will make the Taiyi Avenue even stronger.

Especially when facing the way of the Heavenly Demon, [Demon Suppression (Emperor's Ruins)] will have some inexplicable advantages.

And when [Shangzhen (Great Sage)] faces the way of heaven, there will also be some strange changes.

Chu Tai also conducted in-depth research on this.

[Demon Suppression (Emperor's Ruins)] seems to be due to its ability to suppress, inhibit, control, and maintain order. With the cooperation of the two Heavenly Emperors, it has effectively suppressed the ability of the Heavenly Demon to turn the impossible into the possible.

[Shangzhen (Great Sage)] has the authority of wisdom, morality, creativity and spirituality, which cooperates well with the will of countless creatures, creates more perspectives, and analyzes more aspects of the Way of Heaven more quickly.

Most importantly, Chu Tai discovered that Shang Zhen (Great Sage) had a very unique ability.

'He seems to be able to speed up the spiritual generation of those phantom sounds.'

Chu Tai looked carefully at the Infinite Beings, an illusory existence that only existed in the memories of some of the creatures.

They are also individuals without spiritual light in the world.

But in the countless restarts in the past, they also left behind love, hatred, and many precious memories.

The Emperor of Heaven, who had manifested the Tao in the heavens, was unwilling to give up on them, believing that these illusory beings were also his people, and at least he could not let their memories disappear.

This is also an important component of the ocean of will of countless living beings, and one of the major spiritual forces that the Emperor of Heaven spends on a daily basis.

But now, the power of the Dao Fruit of [Shangzhen (Great Sage)] is constantly giving more possibilities to the illusory existence that originally had no innate spiritual light and no complete will of its own.

Let them, through their interactions with other living beings, in their love and hate with other living beings, in their constant learning, and in their self-transcendence, gradually perceive the spirituality that the Supreme Taoist Ancestor gave to all sentient beings, and give birth to their own innate spiritual light.

Under the guidance of the Emperor of Heaven, these spiritual lights continued to move towards goodness.

At the same time, it is also constantly guiding more subsequent illusory existences to obtain substantial changes and become an acquired creature that even the innate Taoist monarch must recognize.

As the spirituality of these creatures continued to improve, Chu Tai also felt that his own [Great Sage] Dao Fruit was constantly transforming and improving.

Just as other Dao-fruit variants receive ritual enhancements and assistance, the Great Sage Dao-fruit is receiving more blessings.

Moreover, Chu Tai also felt that the Great Sage Dao Fruit seemed to have differentiated a little bit of miraculous power from the Dao of the Heavenly Demon to turn the impossible into the possible.

After this part of power was absorbed, Chu Tai's [Taiyi] Avenue instantly suppressed the changes of the Three Enclosures, Four Symbols and Twenty-Eight Constellations derived from the sky, temporarily suppressing the power of the sky and the sky demon.

The Emperor of Heaven, who had freed up some of his power and will, could not help but cast his eyes on Chu Tai.
