Chapter 1: The Golden Boy of Black Skull Mountain Enters Taoism

Yuanzhou, Black Skull Mountain, and Luoxia Cliff.

At this moment, the moon was high in the sky. The rugged rocks and lush forests in the Black Skull Mountain appeared even darker under the moonlight. The turbid and dark air gushed out from the ground, mixed with a little bit of evil, ghostly, dead and foul air.

Yin energy was everywhere, and an inexplicable force was flowing among the mountains, refining all kinds of energy and condensing into a tide of white mist that spread in all directions. Faintly, green fires could be seen swaying, and human figures were coming and going. There were faint signs of confusing yin and yang, and disorder of life and death.

Chu Tai sat cross-legged on the rock with his body naturally relaxed. He raised his head slightly, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and evenly regulated his breathing, neither hurried nor lazy, letting nature take its course. In his mind, he silently visualized the moon rising into the sky. Slowly, the moonlight like water intertwined around him with his breathing, and entered his stomach through his nose as he inhaled.

Suddenly, Chu Tai's eyes flickered twice, and the bright moon reflected in his pupils suddenly began to ripple slightly like a water surface with a stone thrown into it, and then faint ink traces emerged, converging into three paragraphs.

[Year One - Carefully follow the order of heaven and the laws of the underworld, be reborn, and gain a ray of good deeds.]

[Year Nine - Drought, famine, wandering, nearly being eaten, saved by a couple, the woman says her son is Guo Shan, living in Hezhong Village, Yuxi County, formed a bond with one of them, survived the catastrophe, solved the mystery in the womb.]

[Ten years later - his wife died of illness and was buried in a desolate mountain. He met the God of Tianmen and went to the Black Skull Mountain to practice. He was taught the "Ming Yue Guan Cun Fa" and became connected with Taoism.]

"What is cultivation? What is connection with the Tao? To put it bluntly, it is just to become the material for the other party's cultivation process..."

Seeing the latter sentence, Chu Tai laughed at himself in his heart. Although he had only been on the mountain for a year, he had witnessed no less than a hundred people killed by the God of Tianmen. Most of them could not rest in peace after death. Some of their souls were extracted and their bodies were refined into magic weapons, while others were forged by water and fire and made into puppets.

In comparison, falling from the Luoxia Cliff and becoming a part of the mountain mist and green fire can be considered a good ending.

But Chu Tai didn't dare. On the first day he arrived, he saw a young man trying to jump from here. When he was about to die, Tianmen God raised his hand and grabbed him back. He was covered with animal skins and turned into a half-human, half-beast monster to be driven by people. His life was worse than death.

'After all, it's almost my turn. Even though I deliberately slowed down my cultivation, the old thief from Tianmen kept reminding me from time to time. I have made some progress in Mingyueguan Cunfa and can use it as materials...'

Thinking of this, Chu Tai couldn't help feeling a little depressed.

There was nothing wrong with the "Ming Yue Guan Cun Fa" taught by Tianmen God. As it said, it could preserve the essence and warm the Yin spirit. Chu Tai only practiced for one year and recovered the vitality that was damaged by running around due to famine in the previous two years. He also became light and healthy, with sharp ears and eyes. He had a weak night vision ability and could see things two or three hundred feet away by the moonlight.

In terms of effectiveness, even if this "Ming Yue Guan Cun Fa" is not the authentic Xuanmen foundation-building method mentioned by Tianmen God, it must be a secret technique of the immortals.

But the more this happened, the more unwilling Chu Tai became.

After being born into this world and seeing the immortal magic, how could I be willing to die?

But he had no other choice. The power of the Lord of Tianmen was unfathomable, and Chu Tai himself had no ability. He tried some spells and hand gestures from his memory of his previous life, but each time he either became frightened halfway through, as if a disaster was about to happen, or he had no reaction at all.

The ability that he now regards as his only life-saving straw has not made any movement. Compared to when it was first awakened, it has only become easier to see the information above. Its function seems to be just to record Chu Tai's experience.

Thinking of this, Chu Tai couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and as soon as his thoughts changed, distracting thoughts immediately arose. Looking inside, he saw waves rising in the bright moon, and the moonlight around him dissipated, and his body suddenly became stiff.

'not good! '

Shocked, Chu Tai knew that this was a sign of the moonlight invading his body and freezing his meridians, so he hurriedly tried to use his magic power to dispel the cold.

Suddenly, a faint purple light emerged and turned into mist that covered Chu Tai's body. Immediately, a warm current flowed through his body, dispelling the accumulated Taiyin cold air.

"If you want to use the evil spirit to avoid the test in a few days, it will be useless." A voice sounded, and then a handsome young man walked out of the bushes behind Chu Tai. He paused, as if he didn't want to say anything, but finally spoke.

"The Lord of God's magical powers are extraordinary. Even if you are paralyzed by the cold, he is able to bring you back to life. He has also placed a magic ban on us. If we can't remove it, we can't die even if we want to."

"Si Ming, what are you doing..."

Chu Tai moved his hands and feet, and was a little surprised when he saw the purple light remaining on Siming's fingertips.

The young man in front of him, Chu Tai, was also familiar. He had arrived a few months earlier than him and was one of the few people who survived the experiment of Tianmen God.

But as far as he knew, Tianmen God did not teach Siming any magical powers, so where did this purple light come from?

Seeing Chu Tai's doubts, Siming simply responded: "If you can survive that guy's test, you will also gain some abilities, as long as... you can continue to live..."

Si Ming spoke the last sentence very softly. Even Chu Tai, who had been practicing for some time, was not sure whether what he heard was correct at such a close distance.

Then, before Chu Tai could open his mouth to ask more questions, he saw a ray of light flying from afar and landing on the top of the Black Skull Mountain.

The next second, another black gas rose from the top of the mountain and turned into a palm the size of an acre of field in mid-air, which pinched Chu Tai and Si Ming and grabbed them.

Chu Tai was taken up the mountain without any warning. His body swayed twice before he could stand steady. He looked around and saw fifteen boys of similar age to him and twenty or thirty half-human, half-beast creatures crowded in a corner, among whom were four scantily clad boys and girls.

"Cough cough..."

As a cough sounded, Chu Tai saw the pale and handsome Tianmen God sitting on the auspicious cloud pattern seven treasures jasper cloud bed. He glanced at him with a cold look and said in a cold voice: "The time is still a little short, it's not enough..."

After he finished speaking, the black air around them rolled inward, and the twelve young men who had just arrived and had just started practicing, as well as the slaves and puppets crowded in the corner, screamed together. Their bodies were shattered by the black air and turned into a pool of blood mist that rolled around.

Tianmen God stretched out his hand and a small stream of blood mist separated and surrounded Si Ming. The strong pungent smell of blood made Chu Tai frown, and the faint wailing sounds from inside made people dizzy.

Si Ming, who was wrapped up, was even more miserable. As soon as purple air started rolling around his body, it was stained with blood. Then he closed his eyes and fainted.

Most of the remaining blood mist was swallowed into the stomach of Tianmen God as he breathed, and his pale complexion instantly improved a lot.

Tianmen God flicked his long sleeves, and four jade boxes appeared out of thin air. When they were opened one by one, unknown liquids were revealed inside.

But before Chu Tai could see clearly, he saw Tianmen God stretched out his hand and the liquid rose into the air and fell on Chu Tai and the other three young men, flowing into their bodies through their seven orifices.

Chu Tai opened his eyes wide, and saw only a ball of crystal clear liquid that looked like liquefied jade. There were dozens of wonderful golden lines inside that kept interweaving. The liquid covered his face and seeped into his seven orifices.

After a feeling of coolness, Chu Tai fainted, and the sound of mysterious chanting faintly echoed in his ears.

"At that time, in the Great Crimson Golden Palace, all the immortals gathered to preach the secrets of the Way. The sound of the Way resounded, and there were auspicious clouds, auspicious mists, strange fragrances, and colorful pendants..."
