Yellow Skinned Taoist Master

Chapter 196: Tai Yizi's Fortune

Previously, when the Yama's shadow's second punch blasted that ghost thing into flying ash and annihilated it.

This Dantian Grotto-Heaven world once manifested illusions akin to fluctuating water screens.

In a trance, Chen Huangpi seemed to have seen that ghost thing was actually an insect.

Only, that scene happened too fast.

Like a dream or an illusion.

Although Chen Huangpi felt it was weird, he didn't carefully ponder over it.

He merely treated it as some sort of hallucination.

And now, Chen Huangpi jumped into the True Realm.

His perspective was naturally completely different from when he was in the False Realm.

He saw that that ghost thing was an insect.Back when he was still an egg.

Those countless insects that hunted him down, wanting to swallow him.

Now, Chen Huangpi completely understood.

No wonder this ghost thing could devour time.

No wonder even an Immortal like Tai Yizi had absolutely no ways of dealing with it.

An insect that could even devour him naturally possessed boundless treacherousness.

"This is an Outer Evil!!"

Tai Yizi and Chen Huangpi had the Dog Rearing Scripture, so their perspectives were shared.

For countless years.

This was the first time Tai Yizi saw the ugly countenance of this ghost thing.

He said with incomparable urgency: "Unrelated to ghosts, demons, or immortals. This entity is not within the Five Elements, and leaps outside Yin and Yang. Exactly who committed such a mad deed to actually lure this Outer Evil into this realm."

"And the fishing line on top of this Outer Evil's head."

"Who possesses such a grand scheme to actually use this Outer Evil as bait? Exactly what kind of existence does that person want to fish out?"

That insect lay within a pool flowing with a substance akin to mercury.

On the eight directions of the pool, eight yellow talismans were pasted.

The eight yellow talismans possessed dense golden patterns. Those patterns gathered together, shining brilliantly, appearing like some sort of text.

Tai Yizi looked at those eight yellow talismans, saying in astonishment: "Azure Heaven Absolution Seal Characters?"

"What are Azure Heaven Absolution Seal Characters?"

"Heaven's Will is vast, unknown to anyone, thus Absolution Seal Characters are used to convey its meaning."

Tai Yizi explained: "But the only one who can read, who can use, and who can interpret these characters of the Azure Heaven Absolution Seals is the Dao Lord. The Dao Lord is such that, my will is Heaven's Will, the Heavenly Heart is my heart. Thus, they are omnipotent and omnipresent."

"Apart from a Dao Lord, even an almighty existence at the Near-Dao level is unable to know its meaning or investigate its abilities."

"I just don't know exactly what these Azure Heaven Absolution Seal Characters on these eight yellow talismans mean."

"It means to cycle back and forth endlessly, to constrain time."

Chen Huangpi's expression was complex as he said: "That mercury-like substance is time. These yellow talismans constrain the collected time within the pool. The time devoured by that insect is also all inside."

"That is why this insect cannot be killed."

"This..."

Although Tai Yizi didn't know why Chen Huangpi could understand this type of text.

But this was after all the Dao Lord's disciple.

Perhaps, the Dao Lord had told him there were eight talismans here, and this was what the talismans meant.

Only, if the Dao Lord knew everything.

Why would he sit by and watch someone lure this Outer Evil into the Dantian world?

The world in Chen Huangpi's eyes was different from Tai Yizi's.

He saw the insect in the pool.

Yet on Tai Yizi's side, what he saw corresponded to countless villagers killing their way towards him.

Therefore, Tai Yizi had no time to consider too much.

He could only fight while retreating.

Chen Huangpi saw this in his eyes, yet was powerless to do anything about it.

Because he was merely using Tai Yizi's perspective to see the differences in the False Realm. But in reality, for him, being situated in the True Realm, those villagers, and also that little girl, actually didn't exist.

Here, there was only a pool of time, and one insect.

"Tai Yizi, open your mind!"

Chen Huangpi suddenly thought of a method: "You use your body to transform into the sword, let me control you!"

"Good."

Tai Yizi had already cultivated the Dog Rearing Scripture, naturally he wouldn't distrust Chen Huangpi.

Thus, he immediately merged into one with his own dharma sword once again.

Then, he opened his mind, handing over the right to control his body.

"Taiyi, heed my command!"

Chen Huangpi gripped the Taiyi's Sword, infusing the power of the Magic Tree and the power of the Evil Eye entirely into the sword body.

"Slaying Demons, Executing Evil, Breaking Malice!"

Rumble!!!!

Chen Huangpi once again slashed out three different types of Heaven's Punishment powers.

And as the vessel bearing this power of Heaven's Punishment.

Tai Yizi's mind became completely blank.

Rumble!

Lightning roared.

Sun and moon alternated, years flowed past.

There were also various distracting thoughts flowing within his heart.

But ultimately, those anomalies all vanished from Tai Yizi's heart.

Replaced by a certain indescribable, undefinable something.

"This old man seems to have seen the Dao..."

Tai Yizi muttered in his heart: "This old man's realm seems to have also undergone a breakthrough. Only all of this feels hazy, extremely unreal, as if this old man's enlightenment and realm breakthrough at this moment will solely arrive after being postponed for several centuries."

"But this is too weird. This old man has lived for tens of thousands of years and have never heard of such a bizarre matter."

"This old man hasn't become bedeviled, right?"

Tai Yizi couldn't read it, couldn't guess it, and also didn't understand whether the experience he just had was true or false.

Because he felt exactly when Chen Huangpi was controlling him who had merged into one with the dharma sword.

He truly seemed to have seen the Dao.

Seen the ultimate principles of Heaven and Earth.

But from ancient times until now, when cultivators had sudden enlightenment, their comprehension of the ultimate principles of Heaven and Earth would immediately manifest.

There had never been a case of postponement.

It felt exactly like a mortal doing labor without daily wages, but getting paid monthly instead.

As Chen Huangpi unscrupulously used his own power.

Tai Yizi felt things becoming increasingly erroneous.

The ultimate principles of Heaven and Earth were pouring into his head.

It fundamentally didn't care whether he could understand or accept them.

Tai Yizi's aptitude in the Grand Sui Cult was not considered top-notch.

Therefore, after becoming an Immortal, his progress was slow, having never achieved the True Immortal realm from beginning to end.

But now, he felt his own realm continuously rising and consecutively breaking through at an inconceivable speed. In the blink of an eye, he touched the threshold of a True Immortal.

No, that realm wasn't a True Immortal.

But another cultivation realm on par with the True Immortal realm, one not even established by the ultimate principles of this Heaven and Earth.

"Azure Heaven above, Dao Lord above!"

Tai Yizi said in terror: "This old man feels like I have already become a True Immortal. But this True Immortal realm is similarly postponed. Who can tell this old man exactly what kind of unforeseen event this old man has encountered."

"Tai Yizi, don't be afraid!"

Chen Huangpi's voice rang out in Tai Yizi's heart: "Those ghost things cannot defeat me!"

The moment these words came out.

The ultimate principles of Heaven and Earth in Tai Yizi's mind instantly disappeared.

That feeling of emptiness made him extremely reluctant to part with it.

Furthermore, he faintly had a feeling that if he hadn't suddenly spoken up, perhaps this state of being forced to comprehend the Dao with his head pressed down might have lasted for a period of time, and his own realm would even be pushed to an extremely exaggerated degree.

But even if he was reluctant to part with it anymore.

Tai Yizi was still an Immortal, his Dao heart naturally extremely resolute.

"To gain it is my fortune, to lose it is my fate."

Tai Yizi said with heartache: "For this old man to possess such fortune is already heaven-sent luck. To agonize and regret over it would instead be falling into the lower echelons."

Thinking to this point, Tai Yizi finally projected his mind outside his body.

At this moment, within this ancestral hall.

Those villagers had all been slashed into a mushy pulp by Chen Huangpi like chopping melons and slicing vegetables.

Leaving only that little girl holding the red lantern.

"You cannot kill me."

The little girl said: "But you are very formidable. Without that shadow, you are still very formidable."

Chen Huangpi said coldly: "Shut your crap, spit out Tai Yizi's time."

Chen Huangpi didn't care about the other villagers.

Because he wasn't familiar with them, let alone recognized them.

But Tai Yizi's time had been devoured by this little girl far too many times.

Now that Chen Huangpi had transformed into an evil anomaly, naturally he wanted to ask for Tai Yizi's time back.

Tai Yizi said touchingly: "Yellow Skinned kid, for you to stick your neck out for this old man like this, this old man has memorized it in my heart."

"All people within my Grand Sui Cult are one family. One family should help each other out."

"The Grand Sui Cult doesn't seem to have such a saying..."

"It didn't before, but it does now."

Chen Huangpi said in his heart: "I am the Cult Master, everything goes according to my standards. Write this rule into the cult regulations in the future!"

That little girl looked at Chen Huangpi before her.

Her expression was somewhat bewildered.

Seemingly pondering over something.

Chen Huangpi's gaze turned slightly cold, instantly slashing out a streak of sword qi.

That sword qi struck the little girl's body.

Yet like Heaven's Punishment, it shaved away several centuries of the latter's time.

Within the void, even more countless giant eyes surfaced.

Thousands of streaks of sword qi surged and brewed within the giant eyes. The moment Chen Huangpi gave the command, they would instantly slash and kill that little girl.

"Open your eyes wide and look clearly."

Chen Huangpi said coldly: "Such sword qi, I can casually slash out thousands or tens of thousands. No matter how bizarre you are, no matter how insidious, no matter how much time you have devoured, it is impossible for you to be my opponent."

"Although you cannot be killed."

"But I have seen the outcomes of those people whose time was devoured by you."

"In less than a breath's time, it is from life to death, cycling back and forth endlessly."

"Although my heart is kind, if you still don't confess honestly, then don't blame me for dealing with you using the same method."

When speaking to this point, Chen Huangpi didn't conceal his killing intent in the slightest.

Looking like a teenager who stopped at no evil, currently threatening a four or five-year-old little girl.

Only, Tai Yizi knew.

It was fundamentally impossible for Chen Huangpi to slash out thousands of streaks of sword qi to deal with this little girl like he said.

Because this little girl was merely a surface phenomenon within the False Realm.

In the True Realm, it was that insect, it was an Outer Evil.

From beginning to end, it had laid inside that pool without moving an inch.

In a certain sense.

The various changes within this False Realm.

In reality, could all be treated as some sort of hallucination.

It was merely that this hallucination was too real, so real that even the false phenomena possessed the ability to think.

"Big brother, you're so fierce..."

"Fierce?"

Chen Huangpi flew into a furious rage, casually waving his hand.

He summoned the branches of the Magic Tree, and whipped them fiercely onto that little girl.

And in the little girl's eyes.

Within the void abruptly sprouted a tentacle covered in eyes. That tentacle tightly entangled the grocery basket in her hand. She wanted to snatch it back, but the inexhaustible terrifying sword qi all around immediately emitted a threatening presence.

Crash...

Chen Huangpi grabbed that little girl's grocery basket, and directly smashed it onto the ground.

And then directly stomped it to pieces with his foot.

Chen Huangpi said viciously: "If you still don't hand over Tai Yizi's time, your outcome shall be just like this grocery basket!"

Yet right at this moment.

Chen Huangpi suddenly saw that the insect within that pool, for some unknown reason, abruptly stuck its head out from inside, and opened its mouth split into eight petals, incessantly sucking in the surrounding aura.

Tai Yizi's voice also rang out at this time.

"Dawn is about to break."
