Chapter 169: The Fierce Beast Appears, the Might of Taotie
【Fate: Nine Qis】
[Effect: Can sense the nine qi of all things, and freely transform one's own nine qi in a short period of time]
Although there was not much description of the 'Nine Innate Qi', Lu Chen was keenly aware of the changes that this fate power brought to him.
Because the so-called nine qi are 'aura, spirit, blessing, wealth, sharpness, luck, vigor, strength and backbone'.
The most powerful aspect of this destiny lies in the transformation of the nine energies.
For example, Lu Chen can transform all of his remaining 'eight qi' except spiritual energy into 'spiritual energy' in a short period of time.
The result is that his cultivation level can increase dramatically in a short period of time.
In addition, he can also do the reverse operation and transform spiritual energy into the other 'eight qi'.
For example, it represents the spirit of the soul, the strength of the physique, or the luck of the fate.
And this is because he is only at the 'Mountain and Sea Walking' stage, and is making the most basic use of the power of Di Ting's destiny.
When his compatibility with Di Ting reaches '25%', he will unlock the ability of 'Mountain and Sea Palm'.
Then he could fully unleash the terrifying effect of Di Ting's 'Nine Innate Qi'.
Because at that point, Lu Chen will be able to use the 'Nine Innate Qi' to imitate the fate power of other mountain and sea beasts.
Not to mention the distant past, let’s take the three-legged golden crow that Mu Xiaoye contracted as an example.
Once Lu Chen unlocks the ability of the 'Mountain and Sea Palm', Di Ting will be able to imitate the abilities of the three-legged golden crow.
This allows Lu Chen to have similar effects to Mu Xiaoye's after contracting the Three-legged Golden Crow.
Combined with Lu Chen's own 'Blue Lotus Eyes' replication ability.
It can be said that Lu Chen and Di Ting can imitate most of the magical powers in this world together.
Therefore, in a sense, although Lu Chen had only contracted Di Ting, a strange beast from the mountains and seas.
But as long as you reach the 'President of the Sutra' stage.
That would be equivalent to him making a contract with countless strange beasts from the mountains and seas, which would lead to a qualitative change.
Coupled with his own terrifying strength.
If it comes to this, Lu Chen feels that even if he failed to master the skills of the Daohua realm during the Jindan stage.
Just rely on listening carefully to the highly malleable nine innate energies.
He should also be able to fight head-on with Mu Xiaoye, the Phoenix Tribulation cultivator.
However, even if it is just the ordinary destiny power in the 'walking stage', Lu Chen still feels that this 'innate nine qi' may still have many areas that can be developed.
After all, Lu Chen felt that the nine energies of 'blessings, wealth, sharpness, vigor, and backbone' were not simple either, and had a lot of room for development.
But he has to figure out the details himself.
After possessing some of the fate of listening carefully, Lu Chen immediately looked towards Mu Xiaoye.
Because he was very curious about how strong Mu Xiaoye's "luck" was.
But just this one glance made Lu Chen freeze in place.
Above Mu Xiaoye's head, the glow of light that symbolized "blessing" and "luck" was so dazzling that Lu Chen could hardly look directly at it.
If Lu Chen's own "blessing" and "luck" were a small river.
Then Mu Xiaoye's "blessing" and "luck" are like a boundless ocean.
The gap between the two was so huge that Lu Chen didn't even have the thought of comparing himself with her.
No wonder, no wonder Xiao Ye has always been so lucky since he was a child.
The words "great fortune and great luck" are so appropriate for her! Perhaps she noticed Lu Chen's strange gaze.
Mu Xiaoye, who had just absorbed the power of the Three-legged Golden Crow's destiny, asked curiously, "Xiao Lu, why are you looking at me like that?"
Hearing this, Lu Chen said in a complicated tone: "Nothing, I just suddenly felt that we are the same people but have different fates."
"???"
Mu Xiaoye looked at him in confusion, with question marks written all over her forehead.
Lu Chen did not discuss this topic too much, but instead asked about the effect of Mu Xiaoye's fate.
After all, the Three-legged Golden Crow and Di Ting are both sixth-level monsters from the mountains and seas.
And it is a destiny that focuses on fighting.
Lu Chen couldn't imagine how amazing this would be for Mu Xiaoye, who already possessed such a terrifying talent as the Red Flame Phoenix Tribulation.
In response to Lu Chen's question, Mu Xiaoye responded directly with action.
Mu Xiaoye activated the power of his destiny, and then the shadow of the three-legged golden crow appeared behind Mu Xiaoye.
The next second, golden lines appeared on Mu Xiaoye's left arm.
Soon, flames symbolizing the true flames of the scorching sun were released from her arms.
And this is not the end yet, the flame of the Red Flame Phoenix Tribulation appeared on Mu Xiaoye's right arm.
Then the two flames continued to merge, and seemed to produce some kind of mutation.
But perhaps it is because Mu Xiaoye is unable to accurately control the power of the Fiery Sun True Flame now.
This resulted in the ultimate failure of this fusion fire.
Mu Xiaoye dispersed the flames around him and explained, "The power of my destiny is the scorching sun true flame that the three-legged golden crow displayed before."
"Besides giving me an extra fire-related magical power out of thin air, its greatest benefit to me is that I can use this flame to increase my physical strength."
"And this increase is related to the position of the sun. During the three minutes at noon when the sun is at its strongest, this increase will reach its peak, which is almost ten times more than my normal level."
"And this amplification effect will continue to increase with the power of the Three-legged Golden Crow's fate."
"Also, I can now absorb the power of the rising sun, which means that I can improve my cultivation just by basking in the sun."
“…”
After hearing this, Lu Chen fell completely silent.
Originally he thought his Di Ting was pretty good.
But compared to Mu Xiaoye’s three-legged golden crow, this Di Ting... doesn’t seem to be that good!
In terms of the effect of increasing strength, the three-legged golden crow is much stronger than Di Ting.
Given Mu Xiaoye's current situation, as long as she is in the three minutes at noon, she is almost invincible.
If you add in the terrifying effect of the Scarlet Flame Phoenix Tribulation itself.
In this realm, who can defeat Mu Xiaoye during the day?
Even if it was Lu Chen, without using the outer sword, he felt that he might not be able to do anything to Xiao Ye at noon.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen didn't know what to say.
Why does it feel like Xiao Ye's journey has been so smooth that it's frightening?
First, he awakened the Red Flame Phoenix Tribulation, the third innate magical power on the list of magical powers.
Later, during the foundation-building stage, she obtained the blessing of the 'Nine Phoenix Flame Skeletons', which was the most suitable avenue for her.
Now he has also obtained the 'Scorching Sun True Flame' of the Three-legged Golden Crow, and has directly transformed himself into the God of War in Daytime.
With this combination of talent, blessing, and fate, this is the only possible result of self-selection!
Envy. Lu Chen could only describe this with the word envy.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen couldn't help but sigh: "Fortunately, we encountered the Three-legged Golden Crow at night, otherwise you might not be able to subdue it."
Mu Xiaoye nodded and said, "Yes, we are really lucky."
But is all this... really luck? Lu Chen looked at Mu Xiaoye, who looked lucky, and wanted to say that maybe all this was not luck, but something that was arranged by fate.
Otherwise, why would they encounter the elusive Di Ting before reaching Tianshan Mountain?
And why did Di Ting happen to have a grudge against the Three-legged Golden Crow and lead them to find the Three-legged Golden Crow, which was equally hard to meet?
Once might be a coincidence, twice might be luck, but three or four times...it can't be simply described by luck.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen couldn't help but ask, "Little Leaf, are you really Uncle Mu's biological child?"
"ah?!"
Mu Xiaoye looked at Lu Chen in astonishment, not understanding why he said that.
"Nothing, I just feel that compared to Uncle Mu, Tian Dao might be more like your biological father."
"ah!"
Hearing this, Mu Xiaoye understood that Lu Chen was teasing her about her good luck, and immediately tapped Lu Chen's arm lightly with some "anger".
Just as the two were about to leave here and return to the Qingzhou Mountain and Sea Division Boundary Gate, waiting for the gate to open and leave here.
The ground beneath their feet suddenly shook violently.
The two of them seemed to have sensed something at the same time, and looked in a certain direction in the distance with a look of surprise.
I saw a ball of blood rising into the sky from somewhere in the distance.
The power contained in the blood light made Lu Chen and Mu Xiaoye feel uncomfortable instinctively.
It was as if this force was the natural enemy of creatures like them.
Just as Lu Chen and Mu Xiaoye were looking at the blood light rising into the sky in astonishment, the three-legged golden crow and Di Ting ran out from the mountain and sea scroll at the same time.
Di Ting looked at the noise in the distance and said in an uneasy tone, "Oh no! Someone has let the Four Evils out. Who is so bold?"
The three-legged golden crow beside him also said solemnly: "The four evil Taotie are sealed here in Tianshan. What are the outsiders from Shanhaisi doing? How could they let it break out of the seal!"
Thinking of this, the Three-legged Golden Crow immediately said to Lu Chen and Mu Xiaoye, "Quick, hurry to the place where Taotie is sealed. It should not have broken through the formation yet, but is only attacking the center of the seal."
"We, the strange beasts of the mountains and seas that are included in the Record of Strange Beasts of the Mountains and Seas, cannot directly attack the Four Evils due to special reasons."
"But you outsiders are different. You can ignore these."
"And as long as we sign a contract with you, we will be freed from our original constraints and can suppress the Four Evils with the power of our destiny."
"Hurry, it will be too late if you don't go now!"
Without much thought, Lu Chen immediately summoned his flying sword and rushed towards the sealed place with Mu Xiaoye, Di Ting and the three-legged golden crow.
During this process, the Three-legged Golden Crow also explained to them why they were so anxious about the Four Evils breaking the seal.
The reason lies in the oath to heaven.
First of all, the Four Evils, like them, are innate spiritual beasts that were born and raised naturally.
But unlike these strange beasts from the mountains and seas that advocate order, the essence of the Four Evils is destruction.
What they represent is actually the dark side of the world.
As the saying goes, "A single yin cannot produce life, and a single yang cannot grow."
The relationship between the strange beasts of mountains and seas and the four evil beasts is the relationship between light and darkness.
In a sense, the spiritual power of the entire mountain and sea world is the original "violent spirit" absorbed by the four evil beasts.
But it is not so easy to transform "rebellion" into "righteousness of heaven and earth".
Therefore, ten thousand years ago, the strange beasts from the mountains and seas and the Demon Suppression Division of the human race at that time joined forces to seal up the four evil spirits.
Then, these strange beasts of the mountains and seas paid the price of "not being able to take the initiative to attack the Four Evils" in exchange for a powerful "Heavenly Oath", which meant that the hostility of the Four Evils was transformed into the righteousness of heaven and earth in the mountain and sea world.
In this way, not only did the Four Evils completely disappear from the world, but the Mountain and Sea Realm also gained considerable benefits, benefiting countless mountain and sea monsters.
The reason why they chose to seal the Four Evils was not to kill them.
Because the four evil spirits cannot be killed.
This is the same as these exotic beasts from the mountains and seas.
For example, the three-legged golden crow symbolizes the power of the rising sun. As long as the sun is there, the three-legged golden crow will always exist.
As long as the "living evil spirit" corresponding to the four evil spirits is still there, they will never die.
Therefore, even if the four evil spirits were killed in a certain period of time.
But after a period of time, they will be resurrected somewhere and bring disaster to the world.
The strange beasts in the mountains and seas did not want to continue to be entangled with the four evil beasts, so they joined forces with the human cultivators to seal them once and for all.
But now it seems that someone doesn't want the four evil spirits to be sealed forever and is preparing to release them.
This is unacceptable for both the exotic beasts of the mountains and seas and human monks.
Because the appearance of the Four Evils will only bring destruction.
No creature that advocates order would like this kind of chaos.
After understanding this, Lu Chen headed towards the sealed area at full speed, and said seriously: "If the four evil creatures break through the seal, what level of strength will they have?"
The three-legged golden crow stood on Lu Chen's shoulder and said after thinking for a moment: "The fate of the six officials, the cultivation of the golden elixir, and the constraints of the mountain and sea world are not only effective for us, but also for the four evil spirits."
"Only in special places like Tianshan Mountain, Fusang Sacred Tree, Tongtian River, and Yaochi, will the power of Tai Sui's manifestation be reduced."
“So if we can’t stop Taotie from breaking the seal, we must not let it escape to Tianshan.”
“Once it reaches Tianshan, it will not only be able to display the cultivation of the Golden Core Stage, but it can at least recover to the Nascent Soul Stage.”
"By then, we really have no choice but to run."
"After all, the mountain and sea beasts that have not signed a contract with outsiders cannot attack the Four Evils. This is the price we paid for the contract we made back then."
At this point, Lu Chen also fully understood the importance of the matter.
The best outcome is that they suppress Taotie again before it breaks the seal.
The second was that Taotie escaped the seal, but they suppressed it outside Tianshan.
The worst outcome is that Taotie escapes to Tianshan and recovers some of his strength.
After a rapid flight, Lu Chen soon saw the situation of the place where Taotie was sealed from afar.
In this sealed place, Lu Chen saw three people who should not be here.
He is the leader of the Black Lotus Sect and one of the Twelve Earthly Branches.
"Xiao Ye, it will be dawn soon. I will hold two of them back first. You will find a chance to kill one of them after dawn. Then we will work together to find a way to suppress the Taotie again."
"good."
At the same time, the three people named Ox, Horse and Sheep in the sealed area also noticed Lu Chen and others who came.
The lewd Wei Yang looked at Mu Xiaoye's delicate and youthful face and subconsciously licked his lips.
"Leave the little beauty to me, and the Holy Son to you."
The Ox and the Horse looked at each other and agreed to the plan.
