Chapter 181 Dual Jade

Human Realm, Museum—

Jue lightly hummed a tune, pondering over her book whether or not she should feign a trip to Yuxu Palace on Buzhou Mountain. After all, she had to deliver the information to the Lord of Guixu. The other party's strength was immense, and she had already returned the authority from her sisters.

The so-called Queen Mother of the West was just a title now.

It might not be enough to completely conceal things from the Lord of Guixu’s divination.

It was better to be cautious.

Turning a page, Jue suddenly paused, sensing a change in the air. Her expression remained unchanged as she lowered her eyes and took a jade talisman from her sleeve. It was the proof of a Guixu traveler, with faint runes running through it.

Speak of the devil...

Jue put the book away, looked around, and walked to Wei Yuan's meditation room.

She laid down layers of formations to conceal her aura and suppressed the cause and effect of celestial secrets with flowing wind. Only then did she gently tap the jade talisman with her fingers, causing the spiritual energy to circulate within it. The surrounding scenery transformed, as if she was once again heading to the core of Guixu.

She saw the Lord of Guixu guarding the place ahead, his face gloomy and his appearance that of a young man.

The Lord of Guixu concealed his true face.

His eyes were deep and profound as he looked at the serene girl who had appeared. After his subordinates reported the situation, she had sensed something was amiss. Later, she had Su Ke’er recreate the scene at the time, and her heart sank even further.

As a magical treasure she had used many times before.

She could be certain that the method used by Yuxu Yuanshi had a seventy percent chance of being the Baobao Golden Coin, which had previously been given to that rather outstanding Guixu traveler. Her heart sank slightly, and she had a faint premonition that she had been taken for a ride.

Had she inadvertently aided the enemy?

Seeing that the serene girl was still the same as before, the Lord of Guixu hid his emotions and said, "Have you not gone to Buzhou Mountain?"

Jue’s expression remained unchanged, and her tone was serene, "I have not."

"Why? Is there something more important than this mission?" Because today I really didn't want to go out, and the anime I wanted to watch was about to start. Hmm, it was strongly recommended by Vodka-sama.

The girl answered silently in her heart, then maintained a calm expression and a cold, aloof tone, "Because going now would be the most foolish course of action."

"Oh?"

Jue's voice was flat as she twirled a strand of hair at her temple and said calmly, "Yuxu Yuanshi is naturally not a simple person. He is intelligent, talented, and determined, but he is also cautious. Even so, he also possesses a magnanimous, upright, courageous, and vigorous heart, and he should not be underestimated..."

Her voice paused as she realized that her words seemed to be praising A Yuan. She clenched her right fist, coughed with her fair hand against her chin, and seamlessly changed the subject, "Such an intelligent person, now that he has opened a Daoist temple and widely spread his Great Dao."

"Naturally, he would not ignore the dangers within."

"He would naturally have methods to prepare for those who appear, so I believe that going now is not the best course of action. If I am not mistaken, Guixu should have sent an elite team already, and they suffered a considerable loss, is that correct?"

The serene girl raised her eyes, her gaze cold and distant.

Completely different from the gentle girl who would smile as she read, brewed tea, and trimmed flowers in the museum. After all, she had been taken by the Queen Mother of the West to experience things alongside many heroes. The Lord of Guixu was instead put in a difficult position, but he maintained his composure and clapped his hands, laughing, "Not bad, impressive."

The girl said calmly, "Just ordinary matters."

After all, A Yuan’s character is such that if he sets out with such confidence, he must have dug a pit… I don’t want to be buried by him.

The girl added silently in her heart, then said calmly, "Since the first Guixu traveler has already failed, it stands to reason that Yuxu Yuanshi's defenses will have decreased. Now is the best opportunity, not to seek his Great Dao, but only to seek his foundation."

The Lord of Guixu nodded, "...Not bad."

He truly felt a hint of appreciation for her talent, but it was a pity that this person had betrayed his Guixu. With a hint of regret, he secretly gathered immense power while calmly saying, "I don't know your name?"

"Dual Jade."

The girl only hesitated for a moment before answering.

"Dual Jade, Dual Jade... What a good name."

"Then, let me ask you, where is the Baobao Golden Coin?"

The Lord of Guixu suddenly questioned, already raising his hand. The immense power caused the entire Guixu to seem to move with him, causing the Guixu Great Ravine, which swallowed both clear and turbid energies, to slowly stop, bringing with it an unparalleled force, about to kill this serene girl on the spot!

Traitor!

Die!!!

Until the girl casually flicked out a copper coin.

With a *dang* sound.

The copper coin landed on the table, spinning around.

The Lord of Guixu's aura came to an abrupt halt, his right hand raised, wanting to press down but not, retracting it seemed a bit awkward. In the silence, the girl raised her eyes, her clear and limpid gaze looking at the Lord of Guixu in the form of a young man, then crossed her fingers, resting her chin on them, and said, "Why are you suddenly asking about this?"

The Lord of Guixu had not yet found a reason.

The girl had already countered with a reason—

"Do you want to buy it back?"

The Lord of Guixu was silent, then nodded and said, "Indeed."

That was the only way now.

He thought about it and said slowly, "I'll offer five hundred thousand merits."

This was a slightly cheaper price than the normal Guixu exchange rate, but overall, it was in line with the market, in line with Guixu's bargaining range. The girl thought about it, looked at the Lord of Guixu, recalled what this guy had done in the past, and extended a finger.

Ten thousand?

The Lord of Guixu's expression softened, thinking that this girl was not bad.

The serene girl slightly raised her eyes, her voice clear and cold:

"One million!"

Lord of Guixu: "…………"

The girl twirled the Baobao Golden Coin on her fingertip, only feeling that it was truly a good thing that A Yuan had not taken this thing away today. Otherwise, she most likely would not be a match for the Lord of Guixu and would be struck down into the myriad realms, or be captured. How could she still be able to bargain like this?

Thinking of the power that the Lord of Guixu had secretly raised just now.

The girl let out a breath and flicked her finger, sending the Baobao Golden Coin flying.

Just like when Wei Yuan had given it to her in the morning.

[Causality Authority Passive]—

Causes things that are beneficial to oneself to happen with a high probability.

And unconsciously avoids all events that are harmful to oneself.

[Wielder]—Yuanshi Heavenly Lord of Yuxu.

"This is..."

"Turbidity?!"

The white-haired Daoist slowly opened his mouth, his eyes reflecting cause and effect, looking at the place he was observing in front of him. It was difficult to describe with words. First, there were large masses of clouds that could not be observed with the naked eye, each wisp of which seemed capable of dissolving souls and turning bones to dust.

Then, one could see deeper levels of existence.

There were incomparably grand but illogical buildings, huge towers hanging upside down from the sky, with intricate and beautiful patterns on them, but looking closely would make one feel nauseous. The mountains that were running were originally grand, but suddenly rose up and transformed at their peaks into burly men with bare upper bodies, one hand holding an axe and the other holding a chisel, seemingly roaring.

The clouds rushed away and scattered, and the flowing lightning fled in panic across the earth.

On the earth grew towering, huge black trees, exuding a turbid and evil aura, and the fruits they bore were all human faces, like inverted corpses. Moreover, they were extremely gigantic, with even the height of a single step exceeding three meters, some even five meters, ten meters.

Layer upon layer, extremely magnificent and grand, creating a characteristic that was both sacred and turbid, magnificent and yet filled with absurdity and evil. The white-haired Daoist frowned slightly. Without Dijun needing to introduce it further, as a newly ascended member of the Ten, he had already sensed it.

The Turbid World.

And it must be the core of the Turbid World.

But then came a series of questions.

The Heavenly Emperor, dressed in ink robes, leaned back slightly in his seat, looking down at the front with a calm expression.

Behind him was the vast starry sky, the myriad realms, and in front of him was the core of the Turbid World. All around was the void, a terrifying area similar to the so-called black hole regions of the Human Realm. Dijun calmly poured himself tea, held the cup, and took a sip, his dark golden eyes looking down at the Turbid World in front of him.

Faintly, there seemed to be ferocious and terrifying evil gods roaring.

Roaring in a language that inherently possessed oppressive and turbid characteristics for beings of the Pure World.

But they did not dare to step out of the boundary.

Wei Yuan said, "This is..."

"The Turbid World, you should be able to see that," Dijun replied.

The white-haired Daoist also sat on the bamboo chair next to him, looking ahead, and said, "But I heard that the turbid energy is below..." Dijun said indifferently, "That was probably not explained clearly. Below does not represent the below as observed by humans or other beings."

"In the beginning of time, who transmitted it?"

"Before above and below took shape, how was it examined?"

"What is below, and what is above? Is it that simple? The so-called [below] only represents the [foundation], the basis of all things. In other words, there is no such thing as above and below involving the ten directions. This place is also one of the areas of the Turbid World… or rather, the core."

Wei Yuan slowly nodded, "What is Turbidity?"

Dijun said, "It's very simple, 'the opposite of things'."

"The cornerstone of the world, the existence corresponding to you and me, and also the world that is constantly thinking about subverting the current order..."

Accompanying his peaceful tone, Wei Yuan noticed that the vast starry sky behind him lit up with streamers of light, while the Turbid World in front of him gradually became introverted. The entire world seemed to transform into a gigantic Yin-Yang fish slowly rotating.

"Even the souls born after the death of living beings, the so-called wandering ghosts and spirits in the secular world, only belong to the Pure World. They will be annihilated and dispersed the moment they come into contact with the Turbid World, while the spirituality of the Turbid World represents the foundation, and their tolerance for the Pure energy is much higher."

"The environment of the Turbid World is not beautiful."

"Things that happen in the Pure World are reflected in the Turbid World in some way."

"And inflict some kind of effect and feedback."

"Everything there is deprived of freedom."

"Perhaps a rain in the Pure World is reflected in the Turbid World as a turbulent flood. If we use fists and feet as an analogy, why has the Pure energy World given birth to so many gods and demons? Why do the myriad realms, with such vast power, continue to exist without being cut off, and why hasn't the surrounding world been destroyed?"

"It is because the spiritual foundation of the Pure energy, are all drawn from the Turbid energy World."

"And the shocks encountered by the Pure energy World will be diffused to the Turbid World as a way to unload the force."

"This is the so-called [Pure energy is above, transforming into all things; Turbid energy is below, serving as the foundation]."

"The Pure energy World will not suffer huge and unavoidable damage due to battles, and it can also have a constant source of spiritual energy."

"And correspondingly, the power of the Pure energy World's strong falling, the corpses after the annihilation of stars, and even the laws after the collapse of the Great Dao will all pour into the Turbid World as a supplement to the Turbid World; and, like you and me, step by step, life and death,"

"Opening up new paths, facing countless tribulations, and the Turbid World will naturally obtain the corresponding path as the [foundation]."

Dijun waved his sleeves, and the Yin-Yang fish evolved from the Pure and Turbid Worlds slowly swam.

"In this way, back and forth, to achieve the Great Dao naturally."

"This is the foundation of the Pure and Turbid Worlds."

The Pure energy World's spiritual energy comes from the Turbid energy World.

The Turbid World's foundation comes from the Pure energy World.

The damage and impact suffered by the Pure energy World will be directly borne by the Turbid World. The Great Dao opened up by the Pure energy will also naturally spread to the Turbid World, the foundation of this world. It truly flows endlessly like a Yin-Yang fish, infinitely stable.

Dijun said indifferently, "The spirits of the Turbid World are unwilling to endure the impact of being drawn of their spiritual energy, and are unwilling to forever follow behind the Pure energy World. They are even more unable to passively withstand the impact from the Pure energy World, so they want to break this state."

"They do have enough reasons."

Wei Yuan said, "What will happen if they get their wish?"

The Heavenly Emperor raised his eyes and replied, "The Pure and Turbid Worlds will pour back, not to mention the future, the first impact will be enough to annihilate more than 99% of the living beings in the Pure energy World. The remaining part will also mutate into monsters in a short period of time, and die after going crazy."

Wei Yuan said slowly, "So, during those two great tribulations, you were guarding here?"

"Didn't let the Turbid World completely come into contact with the Great Wilderness Kunlun?"

"Using one's own strength to suppress the Turbid World, protecting all living beings?"

He was a little shocked. The era of Dijun was more than ten thousand years ago.

For these ten thousand years, and even before that, he had suppressed the power of the Turbid World outside the stars?

"It's not suppression, nor is it for the sake of all living beings. There is no need to put such a big name on me."

Dijun did not deny or affirm, looking at the magnificent, vast, terrifying and evil Turbid World, his tone distant and calm:

"The flow of Yin and Yang has no fixed principles."

"In fact, the ascent of Pure energy and the descent of Turbid energy are not fixed events. After a long period of time, they will naturally transform into a situation where Pure energy is below and Turbid energy is above, so that the world can return to its original state and then re-develop its path. This is the tribulation of the era."

"This up and down, rotating endlessly, is originally the Great Dao."

The Heavenly Emperor leaned back slightly, and then said:

"It's just that, I don't like it."

·

Because he didn't like it, he directly suppressed the Turbid World outside with the myriad phenomena of the stars? Because he didn't like it, he sent down the stars as a barrier?

Wei Yuan was speechless.

Dijun raised his eyes and said, "It's rare to come here. To use your human saying, now that you're here..."

The jade flute pointed forward: "Do you want to go to the Turbid World to take a look?"
