Chapter 215 Guixu Immortal

After a moment of reality, Zhuang Ming's expression returned to its original state, which seemed to be full of emotion but was actually empty.

"What did you see?"

"It's nothing. I just realized that you are just a controlled shell. Your control technique is very delicate. Even I can't tell the difference between you and me."

Zhuang Ming looked at Chu Tai with a faint smile in his eyes, but there was no emotion in the depths of his eyes.

"You can actually see this far? But you said one thing wrong. Whether it's the me in front of you or the other me, they are all me."

Zhuang Ming's answer made Chu Tai stunned for a moment, and then he asked back: "Even if I kill you now?"

"Even if you kill me now, I will wake up again in that hole."

"Hollow?"

Facing Chu Tai's curiosity, Zhuang Ming still had a smile on his face, and there was still no emotion in his pupils.

"Aren't you curious about what I saw in that secret place? I saw a dark sun, a huge hole, and a gap that swallowed everything."

"I have been trapped in that void for an unknown amount of time. I finally managed to escape with a little bit of freedom, but I was still entangled with the void and could not be freed."

"Whether you commit suicide, self-destruct, or even provoke a fourth-grade celestial being, even if you are crushed to ashes and beaten to death, you will still naturally wake up again in that hole after seven days."

Zhuang Ming's calm answer made Mo Hong and Chang Pu, who were standing beside him, feel a slight chill.

This change was really beyond others' expectations, but Chu Tai didn't believe it.

Of course, Chu Tai did not disbelieve the existence of such strange abilities in the world, but he did not believe that the free and easy thoughts in Zhuang Ming could save him from that state. Zhuang Kong, who had the orthodox inheritance, might have a chance, but the possibility for Zhuang Ming was too low.

He asked back, "Is he really a fourth-grade celestial being?"

"In fact, it wasn't really a fourth-grade celestial being who took action. Rather, he stimulated the magical power left by a fourth-grade senior and used his divine power to destroy his own heart-shaped god."

The credibility of Zhuang Ming's answer was obviously improved a lot, but Chu Tai had new doubts.

"If you have such ability, I am even more curious why you teamed up with that person."

"That person, do you mean Hong Yue?"

Zhuang Ming chuckled, and some of the Five Turbid Qi appeared in his hand. He kept smiling and said, "Don't you think his banner is interesting? He actually thinks he can suppress my essence and control me."

"Are you being controlled by that guy named Hong Yue?"

Mo Zhi couldn't help but ask, but got the answer "Who knows", and then Zhuang Ming happily began to explain the origin of Hong Yue's magic weapon.

"All the materials of that banner fit the concept of the Five Evils. And it's not just the Five Evils of the human heart, but also the Five Evils of humanity. I have to say that Hong Yue is quite thoughtful. If he can succeed, it may be another way to the sky."

The five turbid gases gathered together and transformed into a pale flagpole, a turbid flag surface, strange patterns, oil lamp light, and a pitch-black background.

The five elements merged under Zhuang Ming's control and transformed into the Five Turbidities and Eight Winds Banner that Chu Tai had seen before. Zhuang Ming's fingers gently slid across the pale flagpole, revealing a slightly curious expression.

"Just like the flagpole is the bones of men and women who are addicted to love in the world of prostitution, it is soaked with countless romantic thoughts of men and women, as well as all kinds of love, sorrow and joy, and the obsession and decadence of men and women who are nostalgic for prostitution."

"But all this is just appearance. How many men and women in the world today are truly in love? Before they get married, how much slander, bad words, lies and obscene words have they experienced? In the process, have they used alcohol to make their relationship confusing and dreamy? In the end, they are still greedy and go out to cheat."

"How many of these processes were the result of slander, abusive speech, lies and frivolous talk, how many were fueled by alcohol, and how many were caused by lustful thoughts?"

"He collected too many bones, including loyal and heroic women who were led to depravity, infatuated men and women who were lost in lust, prostitutes who were destroyed by rumors, and wanton women who wanted to improve themselves. In many cases, he only needed to give a little push to get the bones he wanted." "Therefore, these bones contain some ideas, some ideas that construct the core of the human world. He selected a hundred people to gather one bone, used a hundred bones to transform into one spirit, and combined the thirty-six spirits into one pole, and then he created the pole of the Five Turbidities and Eight Winds Banner."

"The second is that the banner is made of special human skin, including the dirty skin of corrupt officials, the hard-working skin of peddlers, and the delicate skin left by pole making..."

There was obvious curiosity and desire to explore in Zhuang Ming's eyes, but in the end, he returned to an empty state and muttered to himself.

"But most of these changes will lead to the final end of killing. Everything will return to the embrace of death, to the state of nothingness and the abyss."

"Everything will eventually be destroyed, and everything will eventually return to nothingness."

The Beimingxu Sea Returned Qi on Zhuang Ming's body became increasingly dimmer, vaguely transforming in another direction. In a trance, Chu Tai also saw another existence similar to the Lotus Mother Dharma Image, a product of the localization of the fragments of the Taoist Fruit in the Immortal Manifestation of the Dao.

"So that's how it is. That secret realm has been destroyed and has fallen into a state that is close to returning to the abyss. And you placed your mind and spirit into it in that state. Does that count as being an earthly immortal? It doesn't seem quite right. A god? Not really. A scattered immortal? Not quite right either. A corpse-reincarnated immortal? The gap is still a bit large..."

Chu Tai looked at Zhuang Ming with some curiosity. He felt that Zhuang Ming's condition at the moment was really very special.

A state so special that it is difficult to even categorize.

Zhuang Ming also noticed Chu Tai's curiosity, and released his true Qi and the uncontrollable laws hidden deep within his body, allowing Chu Tai to observe.

Just one glance and Chu Tai understood.

As far as the concept of Guixu is concerned, if that secret realm was a little bigger, Zhuang Ming would have no chance of succeeding and would be directly assimilated by Guixu.

Similarly, if the secret realm was smaller, Zhuang Ming's current situation would not have occurred. He learned "Beiming Xiaoyao Tianwai Pian" from Zhuang Kong and was able to bring him out of the secret realm, even if the price he paid in the end was a little higher.

It was a coincidence, this not-so-big-not-so-small coincidence that locked Zhuang Ming in, yet was unable to completely assimilate Zhuang Ming, that created such a special immortal who was immortal and indestructible to the fifth- and sixth-rank cultivators.

Silently retracting his gaze, Chu Tai whispered, "Fellow Daoist Zhuang Kong, what do you think?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhuang Ming's face changed completely, and Zhuang Kong's voice also came slowly.

"Thank you for clearing my doubts and letting me know about Xiao Ming's problem. Could you let me handle it?"

An illusory Zhuang Kong walked out of the void and looked at Zhuang Ming with a hint of helplessness in his eyes. Zhuang Ming was like a cat grabbed by the scruff of the neck, wanting to struggle but not daring to.

Chu Tai was too lazy to explore the relationship between the brothers and directly offered a reward.

"Speaking of which, your brother is also my prisoner. I wonder what you are going to use to redeem him?"

"I'm practicing the 'Beiming Xiaoyao Tianwai Pian', and the fragments of the Xiaoyaoyou annotated by my ancestors. Fellow Daoist Taining should be in the realm of exploring the fifth level now, and is concentrating his own legal principles and legal meanings. The fragments happen to contain a little bit of the Xiaoyao legal meaning, which I think can help you."

Zhuang Kong's answer made Chu Tai nod and agree, and he quickly reached a deal with Zhuang Kong.

When handing Zhuang Ming over to Zhuang Kong, Chu Tai even kindly suggested helping Zhuang Kong seal Zhuang Ming's magic power to prevent him from escaping.

Zhuang Kong just shook his head and looked at the listless Zhuang Mingdao: "He won't leave. After all, after Daoyou explained my doubts, I already know where to find another him."

Hearing this, Zhuang Ming opened his mouth but dared not say anything.

Zhuang Kong expressed his apologies and gratitude to the cautious Mo Hong and Chang Pu, left some cultivation materials, and then took Zhuang Ming and disappeared into a stream of light before Taoist Zhengyang woke up.
