Chapter 6: Jinhua Sect Taoist Priest

Fu Guang Taoist exclaimed in amazement at the origin of the black light on the skull. His retreating figure paused, his face flushed slightly, flames burning in his pupils, and golden light blazed brightly in his hands. He exerted slight force with his five fingers, and the black light gradually dissipated, creating a crack on the surface of the skull.

At the same time, Taoist Fu Guang's face darkened slightly, but he did not dare to stay any longer. He moved his magic power and a ray of red cloud light rose from under his feet. It suddenly rolled upwards, wrapped him and Chu Tai and flew away.

Not long after the fire cloud took off and flew ten miles, the ground began to shake slightly, followed by the earth's air rolling. The light of the sun and the moon was rotating in the Black Skull Mountain, and the intense pressure made Chu Tai, who was already physically and mentally exhausted, faint completely.

"Is this aura from the fellow Taoists of the Great Light Palace and Guanghan Sect? The aura they suppressed seems to have a bit of the feeling of the Yin Jing Sect back then, but the Yin Jing Sect's inheritance was cut off a hundred years ago. Is it that only the remaining disciples have survived or someone else has inherited it..."

Taoist Fu Guang muttered to himself, but in the next second he thought of the secret method of splitting the spirit and body to revive the soul that he had felt from the skull before. He looked at Chu Tai who was being protected by him and sighed.

"Since the catastrophe a hundred years ago, I think they no longer regard me as a fellow. Moreover, the problem of this young man is probably related to my lineage. Sigh..."

With these thoughts in mind, Taoist Fu Guang took Chu Tai back to his own Taoist temple.

The next day, shortly after Chu Tai woke up from his coma, he saw Taoist Fu Guang walking in with a small tray.

"Are you awake, little friend? You've been unconscious for a whole day. Eat something first."

As he said that, Taoist Fu Guang placed the small tray next to Chu Tai. Chu Tai sniffed and found a hint of medicinal smell hidden in the rich rice aroma. With the added knowledge brought by the [Boy], Chu Tai roughly guessed that the herbs in this porridge tended to be warming and tonic.

After taking a sip, he carefully distinguished and analyzed in his mind that medicinal materials such as Atractylodes macrocephala, Astragalus membranaceus, cinnamon twig, Poria cocos, and Alisma orientalis should be boiled based on Heqi Decoction. Taking it can not only fill the stomach, but also promote the circulation of qi and regulate the internal organs.

Chu Tai quickly finished the medicinal porridge and felt a warm current rising from his stomach, dispelling his originally weak state.

Suppressing his amazement at the excellent effect of the medicine, Chu Tai stood up and bowed to Taoist Fu Guang to express his gratitude: "Thank you for your help, senior."

"How polite."

Taoist Fu Guang stepped forward to help Chu Tai up and sighed, "You were not in too much danger that day, so don't blame me for being nosy. Besides, your problem might be related to my lineage."

Hearing this, Chu Tai was silent for a moment and asked, "Why do you say that?"

"My lineage is called Taiyi Jinhua. It was the Taiyi Patriarch who preached the Dharma to the world on Penglai Island in the East China Sea..."

As Taoist Fu Guang explained, Chu Tai gradually understood some of the reasons.

The founder of Jinhua Sect was originally a casual cultivator, but when a senior immortal named Taiyi Zhenjun was preaching, he was fortunate to receive some true teachings, breaking through the shackles of the original practice method and opening up the Jinhua Dharma lineage inherited by the current Fuguang Taoist. Because this Dharma lineage originated from Taiyi Zhenjun, Jinhua Sect is also called Taiyi Jinhua Sect. The root cause of Chu Tai's problem was the Dao fruit fragments left by the collision of the other great immortal's Dao transformation domain.

As for the reason for the two collisions, according to the unified view in the cultivation world, it was because Taiyi Zhenjun in the past tried to go a step further on the basis of preaching throughout the world. He sealed the nine-grade cultivation methods he summarized, as well as 129,600 lower-level secret methods, 48,000 middle-level secret methods, 3,650 upper-level secret methods, and 108 volumes of heavenly books into the universe, thus eliminating the risk of the inheritance being lost and giving all spirits in the world a chance to enter the Tao.

Although this move was a good thing for all living beings, it also greatly revealed the mysteries of heaven and earth. Naturally, it was envied by all the demons and invaded by evil spirits. Finally, under the influence of many external forces, Taiyi Zhenjun's Taoism was shaken, the law was revealed, and he was connected with the realm of immortals.

The outcome of the two collisions was that many practitioners were affected by the principles of the Otherworldly Heaven, or were eroded by the fragments of the Dao Fruits that flew out during the collision, or their paths of practice resonated with the Otherworldly Heaven. No matter which one, at best their paths were damaged and it became difficult to make progress, at worst their individuals were distorted, lost themselves, and became puppets of the Immortal Realm.

At this point, Taoist Fu Guang concluded: "My lineage inherited the lineage of Grandmaster Taiyi, so naturally we also bear part of the cause and effect. Therefore, your current experience is naturally related to my lineage."

Chu Tai thought the explanation was a bit far-fetched, so he did not immediately express his opinion. Instead, he asked about the last sentence he heard when he was unconscious: "Excuse me, Senior, what is the secret method of splitting the spirit, splitting the body, and returning to life?"

In fact, from the name of the secret method of splitting the soul and returning to life, Chu Tai could roughly guess its ability, and his questioning at this time was more about seeking answers.

"This is an evil magic used by the immortals to escape. It can split one's own soul, and each part carries a little magic power, and either relies on an object or a living being to escape. Then it parasitizes on certain living bodies, takes over their bodies, and lives a new life. On that day, the skeleton contained a fragment of a cultivator's soul. The moment I touched it, it tried to parasitize my body."

At this point, Taoist Fu Guang praised Chu Tai for not taking the skull immediately.

"Many unorthodox monks like to leave certain magical restrictions on their own magic weapons. Once they die, they will absorb the remaining magic power in their own bodies as a last resort to retaliate against their enemies. You must pay attention to this when you walk in the world in the future."

Chu Tai heard this and asked the last question: "Master, I have inherited some of the Dao fruit fragments, and the person who had placed his trust in the skeleton said that I had not received the talisman but was chanting scriptures to manifest power. I borrowed the power of the remaining Dao fruit of the immortal Daohua Great Heaven and used the power of the Great Heaven in another world. This is like cutting off my own path. In this situation, can I still continue to practice..."

Taoist Fu Guang looked Chu Tai up and down, sensed his aura, and slowly explained: "Of course you can. Not to mention that the immortals corresponding to many scriptures are all compassionate people. You will not be blamed for crossing the line to draw divine power for self-protection. The essence of many mantras is to draw in the primordial qi. You use the wrong scriptures and spells, at most there will be mistakes when drawing in the primordial qi and circulating it. Unless you hurt your roots, you can recover."

"As for the Dao Fruit fragments in your body, according to the research of many predecessors, although these Dao Fruit fragments are dangerous, they are not completely impossible to absorb. The reason why many practitioners are cut off from the road ahead is due to external interference and pollution of their own Yuan Qi, or the serious conflict between the principles in the Dao Fruit fragments and their own cultivation concepts. If someone can perfectly inherit the power of some Dao Fruit fragments and practice specific exercises, it will be beneficial and harmless, and they can even gain hundreds of years of cultivation for no reason."

After a pause, Taoist Fu Guang added another sentence.

"And the power of the Dao Fruit fragment you obtained is just suitable for practicing the methods of my Jinhua lineage."

As soon as these words were spoken, Chu Tai felt that many of Taoist Fu Guang's previous actions could be explained.

But Chu Tai, who had just experienced the torture of Tianmen God, was still a little worried at this moment, because he felt a little bit of the aura in Taoist Fuguang that he felt when he was injected with the Dao Fruit fragments, as well as a trace of power similar to that of Tianmen God, which made him very disgusted and repulsive.
