The black-clothed girl subconsciously spoke that unfamiliar word.

Her lips pursed, Jing Wei whispered to herself, "Child? What is it?"

Having secluded herself from the world, she rarely communicated with the outside. Her knowledge of common sense was extremely vague, based on instinct rather than clear understanding. She didn't understand its meaning but instinctively felt that it was the aura that mixed the blood of the human race, the power of creation, and the foundation of turbid qi as one.

Encountering it made her, as a replica of Nuwa, feel a familiar sensation.

But what was it? What was a "child"?

She opened her eyes, but ultimately, due to the vast and terrifying reverse Xiantian Bagua-level seal above the jade coffin, she slowly closed them again and fell into a deep sleep.

"Yuanshi Tianzun... No, it shouldn't be, it shouldn't be."

"The content of this lost Daoist scripture must be fake."

Zhang Ruosu's mouth twitched as he looked at the method recorded on the yellowed Daoist scripture. It was completely different from the current mainstream method of breathing in primal qi and absorbing it into oneself. It was more similar to comprehending the world. Moreover, it stated that Yuanshi Tianzun, together with Protector Zhenwu the Great, directly subdued the most powerful of the extraterrestrial demons.

Yuanshi Tianzun was filled with compassion.

All the great demons were willing to submit to the Supreme Limitless Dao.

There was also a clone of the "Yuanshi Heavenly Demon."

Zhang Ruosu glanced at the characters on the Daoist scripture and ultimately only found the characters "Chuan Dao Ji" (Collection of Teachings), with the first two characters faded and illegible.

"It shouldn't be him,"

the old Daoist said to himself.

But he couldn't help but think of the Daoist's experience with the Law of Karma. He consoled himself, "It must be a senior of my Daoist sect who deliberately left this scripture behind. It's different from that fellow. That fellow is only good at karma and overbearing techniques. Although his Daoist arts are profound, they can't be used to test the Dao heart in the mortal world, the superior path of the Nine Tribulations and Examinations."

"It shouldn't be, it shouldn't be."

The old Daoist bent down to examine the scripture.

He saw the specific content of the Ten Demonic Obstacles and Nine Tribulations.

"Wealth demons: like jeweled pavilions and treasure halls, painted forests and carved beams, pearl curtains and embroidered screens,

Fragrant tents and orchid rooms, treasures everywhere, jade filling the halls. If you see this, do not believe it to be true."

"Nobility demons: like golden saddles and precious horses, towering carriages, marquises granted ten thousand households, and envoys' banners. A family full of blue hair. Do not covet their favor. If you see this, do not believe it to be true."

If you see that you are very rich, that everyone around you is rich, it's all fake, all fake.

It's fake, oh little Daoist.

Come, put on your hat and follow the patriarch to recite.

You are very poor!

You are very poor, little money is all fake!

??

The old Daoist's mouth twitched.

He took a deep breath.

"Calm down, calm down."

"It's a coincidence, it must be a coincidence." The Daoist Jade Emperor was silent for a long time, then looked directly at the last two of the Ten Demons.

"Music Demon: like celestial fairies and jade maidens, arrayed in rows, with the sounds of pipes and songs, all raising rainbow skirts, pairs of red sleeves, vying to present golden attire. If you see this, do not believe it to be true."

"Lust Demon: like many beautiful women, with enchanting appearances and heavy makeup, drinking at orchid terraces at night, wearing light robes, displaying charming postures, vying to become couples. If you see this, do not believe it to be true."

If you are a female cultivator, the opposite applies.

Zhang Ruosu fell silent.

Maintaining a pure Yang body or a pure Yin body can help the Dao heart!

Single people are more likely to cultivate!

Come, follow the patriarch to stay single for five thousand years and ascend to immortality on the spot.

Zhang Ruosu's chest rose and fell violently.

He gritted his teeth, skipped over the Ten Demons in the scripture that were supposed to temper the Dao heart, turned to the Nine Tribulations for testing cultivation, and then saw the first of the Nine Tribulations. His eyes swept over it, and he subconsciously recited:

"Before the great elixir is completed, it is difficult to withstand the cold and heat, so clothing is needed for the four seasons. Before true qi is generated, there is still hunger and thirst, so three meals are needed. The most troubling things for those who follow the Dao are the pressures of clothing and food."

When your cultivation is not high, you have to buy clothes and eat, even if you are a Daoist!

Three meals a day cannot be missed.

The first step in testing cultivation is buying clothes and eating.

Poverty can test the Dao heart, being single makes it easier to cultivate, and the first step in cultivation is to eat three good meals. The Buddhist diet is bad for the body!

Eating is the first of the Nine Tribulations. The Jade Emperor was silent for a long time, his chest rising and falling. He secretly warned himself, "Calm down, calm down... calm down my ass!"

He held the yellowed Daoist scripture and slammed it heavily on the ground with a *pa-*. Then, he lifted his robe and stomped on it with *pa-pa-pa*, gnashing his teeth with a ferocious smile. "No problem, there's no escaping it!"

"It's him!"

"This bastard, the villain!"

"Is the Wudang Pure Yang Gong of the Wudang Sanfeng Patriarch skewed by you? Is the rule that the Quanzhen lineage cannot marry also created by this manuscript of yours?! Is it from this that my master told me that Pure Yang Limitlessness helps to improve Daoist practice?!"

"So... so, I finally know where the poverty comes from?!"

"I'll kill you! I'll beat you to death, you bastard, Yuanshi Tianzun, to hell with your Tianzun!"

The little Daoist on duty looked at the patriarch, remained silent for a long time, and silently retreated.

Seeing that Lin Shouyi, the old master of the Shangqing Sect, was about to come, he immediately stopped him and said helplessly:

"The patriarch drank too much."

"He's cursing the Tianzun again. Why don't you have a cup of tea first, senior?"

Lin Shouyi nodded, then paused.

"Wait..."

"Again?"

Wei Yuan slowly exhaled, sensing that the karmic Daoguo of the turbid qi had been completely swallowed by him. Relying on the method given by Nuwa, he could use the Zhou Tian Qi mechanism to use karma, barely considered to have a Dao body.

Raising his hand to guide karma, the qi mechanism flowed erratically, making it more convenient than before.

However, the effects and blessings were all related to destructive karma. He could more calmly guide karma. There was no significant increase in the effects like "Law Follows Words" that he had previously created, but there was a large increase in the characteristics of breaking karma, distorting logic, and creating paradoxes.

Moreover, due to the improvement of the Daoguo, there would also be improvements and mutations in resisting the prying of heavenly secrets, unpredictability, and karmic interference that would cause miscalculations. Now, even opponents at the same level divining him would encounter various errors and be led into the gutter.

However, these errors were probably no longer as lighthearted and reasonable as in the past.

Instead, there would be various explosive and crude developments.

For example, if someone made a wish to such a Yuanshi Tianzun and received karmic feedback, they would probably make a wish to live a long life and end up in a bizarre situation of becoming a vegetable and lying in bed for a hundred years.

Or if someone calculated that they would "die of old age," the result would be that they would be shaken to death by an old person.

The tone of the divination was filled with the style of destruction.

And he had mastered the direct use of many karma, the principle of breaking karma, which was used to perform the

[Anchang] authority, whose method of execution was infinitely close to the obliteration of the [Ten Peaks Authority], but it was an [obliteration] based on karma, not the real obliteration.

Rather, it put the opponent in a state where they could not be observed, touched, or communicated with. They could not generate karma with any existence.

Pass.

But when neither the past, future, nor present could generate any connection with any existence, and yet they still had consciousness.

This was a slaughter more terrifying than death.

Wei Yuan preferred to call it [Exile].

He had the ability to sever all karma around him, forcibly placing himself in a state of not being tainted by karma in the short term.

[Defense], whose manifestation directly surpassed the highest means of purification described in Buddhist scriptures, but those were just fictions. Wei Yuan could actually be in this state and jump at different karmic nodes, making the enemy forever [one step short].

Allowing himself to always have the [just right] auxiliary ability.

Very comprehensive, extremely excellent, and good at assisting.

Except for picking up money, he was omnipotent!

As for the improvement of physical strength... basically zero.

The Daoist's face was full of disgust.

It was the same expression as the current Emperor Jun.

This thing is useless.

Sure enough, karma is only suitable for underhanded methods done in secret.

"However, I should have gained some insights into heavenly secrets and divination now." Wei Yuan was thoughtful, picked up a strand of black hair from his temple, and nodded in satisfaction. Sure enough, regardless of the turbid qi interference, as long as he improved his own skills, he could directly block that dead snake scum's so-called blessing and restore his black hair.

Wei Yuan played with his black hair and used karma to divine the danger of this trip.

Any karma he saw represented scarlet flames soaring into the sky. Finally, the golden-red light and the turbid purplish-black mixed together, turning into monstrous demonic flames that seemed to devour everything, terrifying to the extreme. This represented absolute danger and a place of death.

Was it that forcibly rushing into the South Sea where Zhurong was with the power of karma would provoke Zhurong's violent heart, and then he and Zhurong would directly fight, ultimately leading things to an uncontrollable side? However, in this scene of karma, the Daoist saw that he had protected Xian, so he was slightly relieved that at least she would not fall into crisis.

"However, has she become so weak that she needs me to protect her?"

Wei Yuan's expression was slightly complicated. For some reason, he thought of that young girl in the green shirt again. He shook his head and muttered to himself in a low voice.

"It doesn't count."

"Well, if I go by myself, it's like this. What if I bring Ah Xuan with me?"

"Damn it, mainly that turbid qi Fuxi guy took up all my [Falling Treasure Money] quota."

If he used the [Falling Treasure Money] again, he might have to pawn something else. Last time, he pawned his wealth luck from the past, present, and future. What would he pawn this time? His romantic fate from ancient times to the present, plus his future self?

Or would he directly pawn his memories?

"No, no, I must guard against the heavenly Dao's credit fraud."

"Damn it, why does it suddenly feel so... in various senses?"

Wei Yuan's killing intent towards the turbid qi Fuxi increased again. He exhaled, and once again grasped karma. He still saw the monstrous flames, saw the impact of the woven karma and the flames, and saw the layers of collapse and annihilation of the endless flames due to the existence of karma.

But there was also a soft zither sound.

A flame-like phoenix circled, making the flames slightly subdued.

It was no longer so crazy and violent.

This represented a turning point. Although a battle with that guy Zhurong was inevitable, there was ultimately a possibility of awakening Zhurong and a probability of him returning to the human race's camp. Wei Yuan exhaled and made a decision.

He still had to bring Ah Xuan and Feng Siyu.

He, who only controlled karma and was not good at frontal combat, could possess methods of the [obliteration] level. Then what would the authority of the top ten peaks be for Zhurong, who was obviously the best at attacking and killing?

Directly open the heat death of the heavens and worlds?

Force everything in the entire world to release its energy in the form of heat?

If this guy fell into the turbid world, how could the pure world fight? That guy could start the destruction of the world.

As for Nuwa, for some reason, his karma showed that if he brought Nuwa with him.

He would encounter something that made his scalp tingle, something that he couldn't even care about Zhurong.

He should still restrain himself and listen to his heart's instructions.

Wei Yuan pondered for a moment,

took out a letter and wrote a letter to Jue, explaining in detail that he might not be able to return to the museum immediately and needed to go to the South Sea. If it was convenient for Jue,

they could go together.

Then he casually let go of the letter.

With karma following, it would definitely be delivered.

The current karmic power of Curator Wei was such that, as long as he was willing, even stepping on a test paper on the ground would result in a perfect score. Karma was omnipotent!

But except for picking up money.

Jade Void Palace.

"Nuwa is still sleeping."

Wei Yuan rubbed his temples and said, "Then, old man, and Gonggong, I'll have to trouble you." Nuwa was weak now. Even with Nuwa Shichang's care, it was not enough. At this time, the suppression of the Water God Gonggong and the power of Buzhou Mountain God were enough to protect Nuwa's safety. Wei Yuan then prepared to set off with Ah Xuan and Feng Siyu.

"Oh, right. This time, we have another participant."

The Daoist, who had transformed into black hair, came back to his senses and pointed behind him.

The woman in the green shirt nodded with a smile.

"Don't call me sister."

She corrected Ah Xuan and Feng Siyu's address, saying, "I am of the same generation as your teacher."

"You should call me Aunt Xian."

Water God Gonggong, who was holding a spear and leaning against the bluestone, closed his eyes and meditated. Suddenly, he frowned, raised his head, and looked at the woman in the green shirt with a smile on her face. He frowned slightly, and his mind recalled the Xuanyuan Hill of the human race in the past, the white-haired Daoist, and the girl in white with a red skirt, a cold face, and a bell hanging from her waist.

When they met in the past, the wind on Xuanyuan Hill was still very good, the sun was shining brightly, and when he looked back, he saw the Daoist in a green shirt with wide sleeves in contemplation, and the girl was just pulling his sleeve with a bell hanging from her waist, step by step away. The Water God's brows relaxed, and he said with a rare gentle expression: "It's you?"

"Have you reunited?"

The woman in the green shirt was slightly stunned.

Wei Yuan was comforting Ah Xuan, turned his head to look at Gonggong, puzzled: "What reunited?"

Xian signaled Gonggong to keep it a secret with a pair of dark golden eyes.

The Water God Gonggong of the ancient times was not someone who did not understand such meanings.

Calm, magnanimous, and very self-opinionated.

The events that happened after the death of the Daoist in the past, and the girl's unknown determination, all appeared before his eyes.

So he leaned back slightly, and just repeated flatly again

"I asked, have you finally reunited after such a long time?"
