Investiture of the Gods Xiao Sheng, the Poor Taoist Priest, Even Rogue Cultivators Have Human Rights

Chapter 74: Avenue 5, Heavenly Evolution 49, Escape 1Chapter 74: Fifty Great Daos, Forty-nine Heavenly Derivations, and One Escaped
The Taoist Cundi was born from a wisp of the origin of the Demon God of Cause and Effect and the fusion of the innate Gengjin Bodhi tree. He is particularly sensitive to the power of cause and effect.

Although Xiao Sheng was thousands of miles away from Yang Tianyou, he caught the unusual phenomenon almost immediately. His fingertips trembled slightly as he began to deduce.

boom!
A mysterious aura of the Great Dao suddenly emerged, countless images emerged in the void, and huge waves surged up in the Eight Treasures Merit Pool. For a moment, the area was in turmoil, as if the door to the Nine Netherworld was suddenly opened.

However, this scene only lasted for a moment, and then shattered like a bubble, turning into chaos. The body of the Taoist Zhunti shook slightly, and a look of astonishment appeared in his eyes.

”How strange! I can’t figure out the whole story. The secret of heaven has been completely concealed. Could it be that there are several other saints of heaven behind the scenes who are secretly manipulating the Conferred God Tribulation?”

Zhunti’s expression suddenly became serious. If this was true, it would have a huge impact on his plan!

”Hmph, even if the secret is concealed, what can it do? There is a cause and effect connection between Yang Tianyou and me. With this thread of cause and effect, I can still roughly infer the clues.”

Zhunti’s eyes were deep, and he raised his hand and grabbed at nothingness.

boom!
In an instant, he pulled out a crystal clear thread of cause and effect from the void. The surface of the thread was dull and the end was stained with a trace of blood. Apart from that, there were no other clues.

”It seems that Yang Tianyou has indeed met with an accident.”

Zhunti’s face was as gloomy as water.

This broken causal line undoubtedly reveals a fact - Yang Tianyou has died at the hands of others.

Everything in the world is controlled by the laws of heaven. Even if Yang Tianyou dies, another source of catastrophe will surely emerge. Zhunti waved his hand calmly, and the entangled thread of cause and effect instantly turned into dust.

The corners of his mouth drew a stern arc: ”No matter who is behind this, even if they can break my plan this time, I can weave it again in the next moment. Let’s see who will win in the end.”

Zhunti’s cultivation in the way of cause and effect is unfathomable. Even among many saints, he is probably among the best. After all, he contains a trace of the origin of the cause and effect demon god in his body. Therefore, he is full of confidence in this.

Although the plan was cracked, Zhunti was not discouraged. Instead, he quickly started a new plan.

Suddenly, a mysterious light flashed, and a towering Gengjin Bodhi tree appeared behind Zhunti. Its branches and leaves broke through the clouds, and the majestic power of cause and effect spread out, covering the entire space.

……

……

Just as Zhunti was busy setting up a new round of chess, Xiao Sheng, riding the five-colored divine bird, performed the secret art of golden light flying across the earth, and turned into a golden meteor, rushing towards the vast starry sky.

Tens of millions of miles, hundreds of millions of miles, or even trillions of miles in the sky.

Its speed was so fast that it was eye-popping. In an instant, it reached the prehistoric realm and the first of the thirty-three heavens. He had stepped into this world when he killed the Peng monster. It was formed by the resentment after the collapse of the three realms of Qingtian, Huangtian and Cangtian. It not only contained endless adventures, but also hidden endless dangers. The innate strong wind belt, the innate thunder and fire zone...all kinds of dangers, if you are not careful, it is enough to shatter a person’s body and destroy his soul. However, these were all like clouds to Xiao Sheng. He did not hesitate and rushed in directly. The protective divine light around his body easily resisted the fierce strong wind without any damage.

In a twinkling, he had passed through the thirty-three heavens, and the earth’s fetal membrane suddenly appeared in front of him, and outside of it was the vast and boundless sea of ​​stars.

At this moment, there were streams of chaotic air in the sea of ​​stars that violently hit the earth’s fetal membrane. Although their length was only about ten feet, every impact caused the earth’s fetal membrane to emit a deafening roar, as if it was violently hammered by an ancient giant beast. The terrifying ripples passed through the fetal membrane, and even if only a trace of it leaked out, it was enough to scare people to death.

”Earth fetal membrane, chaotic airflow...”

Witnessing this scene, Xiao Sheng recalled the common sense of the ancient times that his disciples mentioned in casual conversation when he was training on the Jin’ao Island of the Jiejiao Sect.

The vast wilderness is wrapped in a mysterious film called ”the placenta of heaven and earth”, just like the fetal membrane of a newborn baby, protecting this vast land from the invasion of chaotic air currents.

On this layer of fetal membrane, there are countless worlds of different sizes scattered around: small thousand worlds, middle thousand worlds, and large thousand worlds. Each one contains endless mysteries and breeds countless living beings.

However, that chaotic airflow is a terrifying existence in the ancient starry sky. It originates from the residual power left over from Pangu’s creation of the world. The deeper it goes into the starry sky, the larger its number and the more astonishing its power.

Every wisp of chaotic airflow contains a destructive force that is enough to terrify people. Only those who have reached the level of Daluo Jinxian can barely resist it.

”So that’s how it is. When Hongjun was preaching, out of the billions of creatures in the prehistoric world, only three thousand showed up in the end...” Seeing the terrifying chaotic airflow outside the amniotic membrane, Xiao Sheng suddenly realized.

Hongjun once preached the great truth in Zixiao Palace, saying that all living beings in the prehistoric world who were predestined could go and listen.

However, there were more than a trillion creatures in the prehistoric world. Why were only three thousand able to enter the Purple Sky Palace?

The answer is obvious. The word ”fate” is actually a test of cultivation and a selection. Only those who are above the level of Daluo Jinxian who can pass through the fetal membrane of heaven and earth and resist the chaotic airflow are qualified to listen to the teachings in Zixiao Palace.

The rest of the creatures, due to their insufficient cultivation, can only watch from afar and sigh in vain.

Of course, there are exceptions, such as the six-eared macaque, who had already cultivated to a very high level and was fully qualified to listen to the teachings.

However, the peculiarity of the Six-Eared Macaque lies in the fact that his ears have great magical powers. They can hear the sounds of all things and see through all causes and effects. It can be said that ”there are fifty great ways, forty-nine derived from heaven, and one is missing.”

Once this ability is revealed when Hongjun is preaching, it is very likely to become the ”escaped one”, becoming a variable in the prehistoric world and disrupting the overall situation.

Therefore, Hongjun was afraid of Liu’er Macaque. When Liu’er Macaque stepped into Zixiao Palace, he drove him out with just one sentence, ”The Dharma will not be passed on to Liu’er”.

Therefore, despite the extraordinary talents of the Six-Eared Macaque, he failed to shine in later generations and even became a pawn in the Journey to the West, which is a pity.
