I am collecting entries in reincarnation

Chapter 854 Calculation
"Please have mercy on me, Immortal. I am devoted to the Tao, please take me in."

"Immortal, I offer my whole family as a tribute to you, Immortal."

The shouts were still echoing in the streets, but the Taoist had already gotten into the carriage and left.

This action dispelled the thoughts of most people, but there were still a few people who were so-called "strong-minded" or really regarded this as a test from the immortals, and they crawled all the way to chase after the carriage.

The Taoist in the carriage was very indifferent. He didn't even look at them. He just let the carriage continue to move forward. Not long after, they left Yuanting City.

Li Ming mixed in among these people and hid his Taiyin magic power very well. He did not kowtow or worship them, but just followed closely.

The Taoist was not a heartless person. He paused three times to give others time to catch up. This also made those who did not leave more confident, and they completely regarded this as a test to join the immortal sect.

However, by this time, it was already late, and there were not many people left, only a dozen or so boys. Only a dark-skinned woman could keep up. She was dressed in simple clothes, and her shoes were worn out, revealing the blisters on her toes that had been smoothed out and even had a hint of bright red, but her expression was still firm.

At this moment, the carriage stopped again, but the parking position was not very good, which made Li Ming in the crowd slightly stunned.

It was because this was the mass grave where he had buried Guangwei a few days ago. At this moment, the full moon was hanging high in the sky, and there were many green light spots and faint howling around. Needless to say, those wild wolves and dogs were coveting this place in secret. As long as someone was left alone, they would immediately pounce on him and tear him to pieces.

At this moment, the Taoist suddenly got out of the car, put down the selected children, and spoke loudly.

“Once you join my sect, you will have to deal with zombies and wild ghosts day and night, so the first lesson is to spend the night in a mass grave. I don’t care what method you use, as long as you can spend this night safely, you can be considered my disciple. Otherwise, you don’t have this fate.” While speaking, he also looked at the other people who followed not far away, but there was a hint of mockery in his eyes.

After saying this, he didn't even bother to see if the children were frightened to the point of peeing their pants. He just jumped up, turned into a streak of silver light and disappeared.

Li Ming realized it belatedly and muttered to himself.

"He doesn't look like a master from a famous and upright family, does he?"

The black girl beside him heard this, glanced at him, but didn't say much. Instead, the others started whispering.

"The immortal said that anyone who survives will be his disciple?"

"What about us? Are we the same?"

"How can it be the same? They were picked out, so what are we? But if something happens to one of them?"

These few words immediately caused other people to imagine a lot, as if they were certain that if they killed those tender-skinned guys, they would be accepted as disciples by immortals, become immortals, and wield power and wealth in the future. Their eyes immediately changed, and they looked at those who got off the carriage with a look more ferocious than that of wild wolves.

These people did not meet the registration requirements, or were eliminated due to insufficient physical strength, but those who were able to get here, apart from other things, had good physical conditions, otherwise they would have no chance to follow all the way here, and they all had a strong determination in their hearts, otherwise they would have been left behind halfway.

"Why is it like raising a Gu?" Li Ming muttered in his heart, but did not get involved. Instead, he cautiously stepped back a few steps.

If it were just these little guys, he wouldn't be afraid. His only concern was the Taoist priest. From all indications, it was clear that he was indeed a highly skilled cultivator, far superior to himself. His methods were unknown, and even more frightening, his method of selecting disciples was completely unbelievable for those of the righteous. "I was just momentarily possessed by a demon, and I ended up following you for no apparent reason," Li Ming sighed and shook his head, a wave of retreat building within him.

But at this moment, he suddenly became alert.

"Although I'm not a wise man, I've always been prudent. My cultivation is shallow, and I lack the ability to protect myself. How could I be so unwise as to follow him? Could it be..."

Li Ming's mind moved, and a terrifying idea emerged. He looked up at the sky, but saw stars looming, and a full moon that seemed to have remained the same forever.

"No wonder this world is so terrifying. Fate is upside down, and it confuses everyone. Although I have seamlessly integrated into this world with the power of the Samsara Record, it also means that I am completely trapped in the web of the heavens of this world."

Li Ming's eyes blazed like lightning. In an instant, several seal characters from "Taiyin Soul Refining" materialized within his spiritual platform. In a trance, those seal characters spontaneously combined with each other to form a more rigorous rune, which then emitted a faint divine light. In that instant, he seemed to see the essence of this world...

If you cut open the outer layer of reality, you will find countless dense silk threads inside, weaving a huge web of cause and effect and opportunity.

Every person is a thread on this web, and the opportunities and destinies in life are intertwined with each other!

"The destiny of the world is determined by fate, this is the way of the world!"

"I see. Is this cause and effect?"

Li Ming felt a chill down his spine. This world was truly hopeless. Skynet seemed loose, but in fact, it had planned out all the important decision nodes in a person's life.

"You can make many choices in your life, but only a few of them can truly determine your destiny!"

"No, that's not right. If everything is predetermined, then the world would remain unchanged, a stagnant pool of water, equivalent to being reduced in dimension. The energy level of this world is so high, it's definitely not like that!"

As soon as Li Ming had a thought, what he saw immediately changed.

The Skynet is interwoven and changing, with a few key nodes remaining unchanged, but everything else is floating in the wind, changing all the time.

"There are fifty great ways, forty-nine of them, and one of them is escaped, and all things change. In this way, small details can be reversed, but the great trend cannot be reversed."

Insights flowed through Li Ming's mind, and the operating mode of the world's natural law was also imprinted in his mind. In just a short moment, he took another step forward in his understanding of "Tao".

In a sense, he comprehended a method of divination from the incomplete "Taiyin Refining Soul". Of course, although this method was derived from "Taiyin Refining Soul", it was extremely different.

First of all, this method has many limitations. It can only be calculated on a full moon night. The stronger the power of the moon, the easier it is to calculate. Otherwise, it is very easy to make mistakes. Of course, this method also has advantages, that is, the moon and the sun are very close to the origin, so the accuracy rate is very high.

It seems easy, but without Li Ming's realm of many lifetimes, his high-level vision, and the "Taiyin Soul Refining" of this world as a blueprint, this method cannot be complemented by any unique skills.
