Chapter 61: Farewell to the Old Year and Welcome to the New Year

Dongfang Weixi, Chu Tai took Guo Shan to collect the energy of the morning sun and purple clouds, and then headed towards a big city in the Chu State.

On the way, Guo Shan asked Chu Tai why he wanted to get to the city before the New Year.

"Because the New Year is coming soon! The aura of the rising sun and purple clouds in the New Year is more wonderful than at other times, and is more suitable for your practice."

Guo Shan was somewhat unable to understand Chu Tai's explanation.

Although after he offered sacrifices in Hezhong Village, the tomb energy in his body became more peaceful, his cultivation improved slightly and began to transform into the tomb energy of Guigen Jiuyuan, his spirituality was also slightly improved, and his speech was no longer intermittent, but he was still not very clear about many twists and turns.

"Master, is there any difference between the morning sun and purple clouds after New Year's Eve and on ordinary days?"

"Naturally there is."

Chu Tai pointed at the sky and said, "Do you know how many layers of the sky there are? What are they?"

"The master once said that the sky can be divided into nine layers from top to bottom, namely the Taixu layer, the Jiuxiao layer, the Xingdou layer, the Zhouhe layer, the Shenwang layer, the Leihuo layer, the Gangsha layer, the Qianguang layer and the Tianxiang layer."

Guo Shan memorized all the knowledge that Chu Tai had explained to him.

"Do you still remember the information about the morning sun purple cloud energy?"

"Remember. The Purple Qi of the Morning Sun is also called Eastern Purple Qi and Morning Sun Purple Qi. It is a seventh-grade superior Qi. It is a wisp of purple Qi derived from the rising sun. Its essence is the innate true purple Yang Qi that is born with the sun spreading all over the world. It contains some of the mysteries of innate Yang and purple Qi. It has a gentle zodiac sign and is best at warming the mind and cultivating vitality."

Guo Shan recited the knowledge that Chu Tai had taught him in the past for the second time. Chu Tai nodded and began to explain it to him.

"The morning sun and purple clouds after New Year's Eve contain more innate yang and purple qi than usual."

Guo Shan asked very perceptively: "Why is it so?"

"Because the sun we see every day is not the real sun."

Chu Tai stretched out his hand and the vital energy surged, evolving into a large piece of land with six layers of air shields on it, which looked like a sphere from a distance.

Pointing at the ground, Chu Tai said: "According to the records of the Taiyi Jinhua Sect, the land under our feet is a circular land. In addition to the central Yuanzhou that supports the Chu Kingdom in the East, there are four seas, eight continents, and four poles. The four poles are opposite to each other, and the distance between them is about 365 trillion kilometers."

As he spoke, the so-called Yuanzhou emerged in the center of the earth evolved by Chu Tai, surrounded by the four seas, and the eight continents on the edges of the four seas. Outside the eight continents was a vast ocean, and at the end of the ocean, four high mountains emerged when Chu Tai talked about the four poles.

"As for the celestial layer above the earth, some people also call it the Myriad Heavens. Starting from the surface of the earth to the bottom of the Thousand Lights Layer, the average thickness is about 480 kilometers, and the thickness varies in different regions. Excluding special immortal mountains and sacred peaks, the shortest recorded distance is more than 60 kilometers, and the thickest is about 640 kilometers."

"The rain, snow, hail, frost, dew, clouds, fog and other weather conditions that we see every day due to changes in water vapor are basically formed in this layer, which is also the origin of the name of the astronomical layer."

Chu Tai raised his finger from the air shield where many clouds and mists were emerging and landed on the second layer of air shield.

"Above the Celestial Layer and below the Gangsha Layer is the Thousand Light Layer, which has an average thickness of about 10,800 kilometers. It is also called the Flowing Light Layer and the Floating Sky. This layer is connected to the changes in the power of the stars above and is pulled by the earth veins below. The Yuan magnetic field operates stably and the Yuan Qi flows peacefully. Many immortal cultivators like to suspend their own floating islands on this layer."

"Most importantly, the rising and setting of the sun, moon and stars that we see every day are also affected by this layer of refraction."

With his hands expanded outward, outside the spherical earth and six layers of air shield in Chu Tai's hands, another layer emerged, and the original sphere became extremely small.

"The essence of the stars is in the star layer with a thickness of about 36.5 million kilometers. Whether it is the sun, the moon, or the stars and demons, they all move here. The brilliance of the sun, the moon, and the stars also comes from here."

After Chu Tai enlightened hundreds of stars of all sizes, he pointed at the starlight and continued to explain.

"The light of the stars falls into the sixth layer of the Cosmic River Layer, transforming into projections of billions of stars, adjusting the time in various places on the earth to form a stable time sequence. Therefore, the essence of the Cosmic River Layer is the materialized void cosmic light energy."

"The specific manifestation is that the original second-grade innate true purple sun true qi will be initially divided into the fourth-grade innate yang and purple energy at this layer, and then after being sorted out by the divine network layer, it will be separated again at the thousand lights layer and transformed into the seventh-grade morning sun purple cloud qi that spreads all over the world." Hearing this, Guo Shan was a little confused: "Master, what about the third layer of the Gangsha layer and the fourth layer of the thunder and fire layer?"

"These two layers are essentially divine prohibitions set up by the Holy King in the past to prevent the secret demons from returning to the earth. Later, they were also used as protection against external forces impacting the earth. Generally, they only play a filtering role. They will not affect the starlight."

Guo Shan nodded and asked again: "Master, why is the aura of Chaoyang Zixia better after New Year's Eve?"

"It's almost there."

Chu Tai pointed to the seventh floor, then to the earth he simulated.

"Look carefully. What is the difference between the time it takes for the sun, moon, and stars to revolve around the earth in the starry sky and the time it takes for day and night to change on earth?"

Guo Shan looked at it for a long time before he was stunned and said, "It actually takes a year for the sun, moon and stars to rotate once? So every New Year's Eve is the beginning of a new cycle for the sun, moon and stars?"

"That's right. The rotation of the sun, moon and stars in the star layer is very regular. The speed is not calculated based on the normal speed of light, but is the result of mutual influence. In many cases, the speed of star movement is far faster than the speed of light itself. This is a manifestation of the order of the stars."

"Therefore, on the first morning after New Year's Eve every year, you will collect more innate yang and purple qi contained in the purple clouds of the morning sun, and the concepts of new life and hope will be stronger, which is suitable for you to cleanse your own vitality."

After hearing these explanations, Guo Shan still didn't quite understand why he had to go to a crowded place.

"Because on this day, people are also bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new. People's thoughts are in harmony with the celestial phenomena, and people's hearts are in harmony with the heart of heaven. Only in this way can you use the meaning of bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new to accelerate the transformation of your own true qi and lay a more solid foundation. Okay, let's go quickly, so as not to miss the lantern festival on New Year's Eve!"

As he spoke, Chu Tai couldn't help but quicken his pace.

Guo Shan who was behind also adjusted his breathing and followed, but the two of them had to deliver some corpses they accidentally encountered along the way. When they arrived at the big city, everywhere was brightly lit, and the red light illuminated the surroundings, making the whole place look festive.

Chu Tai took Guo Shan to find a place where he began to feel the breath of change between heaven and earth, but in a trance, he seemed to see a man wearing a large Nuo mask, standing in the midst of thousands of flames, beating drums and dancing.

Beside him stood more than a hundred people, among whom were a hundred and twenty boys, each with a red scarf wrapped around his head and holding a long-handled drum in his hand.

On the side, there were people wearing square-shaped Nuo masks with four golden eyes, holding spears and shields, leading people wearing masks of twelve gods including Jiazuo, Xiongbo, Tengjian, etc. to guard the center. The turbid divine light changed, interweaving with the dance of the thirteen people.

At the outermost edge are people wearing eleven kinds of ghost and plague Nuo masks, including ghost tiger, plague, ghost, and ominous, with their fangs and claws bared, and endless black air steaming, as if they want to corrode something.

When it comes to midnight, the dances of the eleven people in Nuo masks of ghosts and plague become more hideous and twisted. The steaming black air gathers the old air accumulated on the earth in the past year, and transforms into the evening beast and the year beast under the dance and sacrifice.

The two had hideous faces, corrupt auras, and were full of stale atmosphere. Just seeing them made Chu Tai's eyes slightly sore, as if he had overused his eyes in the past.

"Dong dong dong..."

The drum beats were passionate. Fang Xiangshi and the Twelve Gods scattered the two under the red light and the sound of firecrackers that went off in various parts of the world.

'New Year's Eve exorcism?'

A thought flashed through Chu Tai's mind. The man wearing the Nuo mask, who was beating the drum to welcome the new year, seemed to notice something and turned around to look at Chu Tai.

In an instant, many insights into witchcraft appeared in Chu Tai's mind, causing the Donghuang Bell to shake gently, suppressing it and turning it into a new rune.
