Chapter 5: Skeleton Demon Chu Tai Conquers the Devil

Tianmen God was very experienced and saw through Chu Tai's trick at the first moment, but the timing was too coincidental and he couldn't dodge in time, so he could only take it head-on.

The green fire burned again and the black fog rolled and boiled, but before the two covered the skeleton, Chu Tai's middle finger had already touched the center of his eyebrows. There was a sound of broken finger bones, thunder and fire suddenly rose, and the phantom of the golden whip swept across, shaking the consciousness of the God of Tianmen. The black fog quickly dissipated with the scattered lightning, and the light in the scarlet ghost eyes gradually dimmed under the reflection of the fire, and the whole skeleton fell to the ground.

In the dissipating black air, Chu Tai fell to the ground, his face pale, as if he had suffered a serious injury.

The skull in front of Tianmen Divine Lord turned and looked at Chu Tai sneerfully, “You changed your method midway, you didn’t have the seals, you misread the mantra, and you even borrowed the method from another heaven. Now your five energies are disordered, and lightning and fire have invaded your body. Can you still stand up…”

Chu Tai struggled to stand up. He knew that what Tianmen God said was true. When he tried the spells in his memory, the Jade Pivot Fire Finger was one of the spells that made him feel like disaster was imminent when he used it. What's more, the spell he used to match the Jade Pivot Fire Finger came from the summoning spell Wu Wen Nan Qi in the "Secret Method of Huo Luo Ling Guan". Although it was related to the Jade Pivot Fire Finger, it was not an exact match.

Chu Tai suspected that it was because he had obtained the miraculous Boy, or that the situation just now was special, so the Spiritual Officer was merciful and made an exception to grant him the magic power.

But the result of forcibly performing the technique was that all his internal organs were impacted by the lightning and fire, and even just standing up made him feel a fishy-sweet taste in his throat.

But Chu Tai still insisted on walking around Tianmen God, muttering something with every step, as if he was performing some ritual.

A faint but pure and holy light appeared all around, and the voice of Chu Tai's chanting gradually became louder.

"The heaven and earth are natural, and the foul air is dispersed. The mysterious void in the cave is shining and bright. The mighty gods of the eight directions make me natural. The spiritual treasure talisman is announced to the nine heavens. Qianluo Dana, Donggang Taixuan... The evil and filth are dissipated, and the Tao Qi is always there."

This is none other than the Mantra for Purifying Heaven and Earth, one of the eight Taoist mantras. It is also known as the Mantra for Purifying Heaven and Earth and Removing Filth. It is generally used in setting up altars, going to temples, and performing rituals. This mantra is often recited to sweep away the evil filth between heaven and earth, eliminate the evil spirits and plague, and allow the positive energy to fill the Taoist temple, thereby eliminating diseases and achieving longevity, and allowing the Taoist Qi to always remain in the body.

Among the knowledge Chu Tai obtained from the [boy], this magic spell was mentioned in many rituals, so it was natural for him to perform it very easily.

Or maybe it was a bit too relaxed.

With his internal organs obviously injured, he was not only able to cast the spell with ease, but he also completed the ritual of purifying the Taoist temple, successfully suppressing the divine power of the God of Heaven Gate inside.

Relying on his cultivation and essence, Tianmen God, who was not greatly affected, was furious.

Not to mention that the power of the Divine Mantra of Purifying Heaven and Earth is in conflict with its essence, staying here is just like an ordinary person staying in a smelly environment. He has practiced hard for hundreds of years, but now he is suppressed by the spell of a person who has practiced for less than two years and was once under his control. He is also filled with anger and resentment.

"If it weren't for the Dao Fruit fragments that caused the law ban to collapse, why would I...?"

Tianmen Divine Lord wanted to bite Chu Tai to death, but he still said in a persuasive tone: "You have never received the talisman. The power you manifested by chanting these scriptures can only be borrowed from the remaining Dao fruit of the Immortal Manifestation of the Great Heaven and the power of the Great Heaven in another world. This is cutting off your own path..."

Chu Tai's eyes were determined and he kept chanting. The pure and holy aura became stronger and stronger. White steam gradually rose from the skeleton monster, as if a white mist was spreading in front of Chu Tai.

The curses of Tianmen God gradually subsided until they disappeared.

But Chu Tai still did not dare to be careless. He continued to chant, coordinating his steps, and maintaining the operation of the ritual. The pure and holy aura within him became more and more powerful.

Slowly the white fog became thicker again, and the Lord of Tianmen cursed again. Many vicious words kept coming out of his mouth, but Chu Tai still didn't care. He just kept chanting the magic spell to purify the dirty air inside.

Soon, the curses of Tianmen Divine Lord gradually became lower and lower. After a cup of tea, the white mist became a little thinner, and the voice of Tianmen Divine Lord begging for mercy was heard again. "Boy, you carry the remnant of the Dao Fruit of the Immortal Manifestation of the Great Heaven. The more you use it, the closer your connection with the Immortal Manifestation of the Great Heaven will be. Sooner or later, the power of the Dao Fruit will transform you into a slave of the Other Heaven. If you let me go now, I am willing to tell you how to completely refine the fragments of the Dao Fruit..."

"Boy, don't think that I am exaggerating. Don't you look at your fingers? There is fluorescent light condensing on them. Is that a normal person's phenomenon? This is the clear evidence that you have been corroded by the Dao Fruit fragments..."

"Boy, don't go too far. Let me tell you..."

This time, Chu Tai still ignored it.

Until the white mist dissipated, all that was left in front of Chu Tai was a dark skull with red light flowing inside, which looked like it was made of black jade.

"It should be fine..."

Chu Tai let out a long sigh, and fell to the ground with his limbs somewhat limp, but he had no intention of picking up the skull. He struggled to stand up, just wanting to leave this place of trouble immediately.

But just as he turned around, the thunder and fire energy in his body that had been temporarily suppressed due to the ritual began to surge again. He opened his mouth and spurted out a little blood. The ground was burned and turned black. A white light appeared in front of his eyes. His whole body felt light and empty, and he had no strength.

Chu Tai had to step aside and lean against a broken tree to avoid falling to the ground. He sat down against the tree trunk, trying to calm down.

At this time, an old Taoist holding a whisk appeared on the distant mountain road. He walked steadily, and every time he landed, dust was stirred up, forming an illusory lotus that supported him to move forward quickly. Such momentum instantly attracted Chu Tai's attention, and he forced himself to cheer up.

'Friend or foe?'

Chu Tai stood up with difficulty, adjusted his breathing silently, and looked at the old Taoist who was approaching, his spirit tense to the extreme.

The Taoist walked up to him and first sensed the remaining aura of the divine spell here, and blurted out: "What a divine spell to purify heaven and earth."

Afterwards, the Taoist saw the skull in the Qingsheng Taoist Temple and couldn't help but frowned slightly: "This thing..."

Chu Tai silently moved the remaining magic power in his body and his fingers changed.

The Taoist sensed the change in Chu Tai's aura, saw his alertness and worry, took two steps back, and introduced himself: "I am Fu Guang, practicing in Taiyi Temple on Xiaping Mountain, 500 miles away from here. I felt the vitality here surging, so I came here..."

Before Taoist Fu Guang finished speaking, the ground shook again. He looked towards the direction of Black Skull Mountain, his face changed slightly, and he asked in doubt: "Is this a vibration of the earth veins? Wait, this aura is not good..."

As the Taoist said this, he swung the whisk in his hand and waved his long sleeves. Smoke rolled up, followed by golden light, which swept up Chu Tai and the skeleton on the ground and quickly retreated in the direction they came from.

Facing the dust raised by the whisk, Chu Tai just raised his hand, but was interrupted by another force rising from behind, and was swept away without any resistance. However, the moment the skeleton on the ground was swept up by the golden light and fell into the hands of the Taoist Fu Guang, a black light appeared on the surface, colliding with the golden light in the Taoist Fu Guang's hand.

White mist rose up, and an illusory shadow with a face similar to that of Tianmen God appeared in the black light, roaring at the Taoist Fuguang. The harsh sound made Chu Tai, who was trying to stay awake, see white again.

"The secret method of splitting the spirit into two bodies and returning to life?"
