Chapter 194 Trapped Immortal Sword, Samsara

As Wei Yuan's divine consciousness spread out, the various aura and karma on the sword unfolded before his eyes, ultimately revealing themselves completely. As Wei Yuan's consciousness landed, these karma naturally extended into the past, presenting the scenes of the past before him.

The waves of the South Sea have never ceased from ancient times to the present. The living and the dead have now returned here, following these unchanging waves for thousands of years. They transform within the rift created by the sword. The dead forget the past and shed most of their memories and experiences, leaving only their most genuine selves.

Most of the soul is washed away in this process.

What remains is pure and crystalline, naturally less than when they first arrived, but enough to support reincarnation. Life and death intersect here, a manifestation of Yin and Yang. At the heart of this cycle of life and death, a sword is forged.

Then, a Dragon Girl in a green robe, with a detached and aloof temperament, held the sword and said, "I don't want him to know I forged this."

"I want him to always owe me."

"To never forget me." The image vanished. Wei Yuan held the hilt of the sword in his right hand, the blade presented horizontally before him, perfect like a work of art.

The sword sheath lay on the table. The blade, smooth as water, reflected the Daoist's pupils. He pressed his right thumb on the spine of the sword, feeling a touch like icy death. Within this coldness, there was also a scorching flame, like vitality, and the peace in the Dragon Girl's voice when she spoke those words.

Kai Ming was already sitting on the woven rattan chair beside him, wearing slippers with the signature colors of happy water, crossing his legs, and bending over to rummage through the Water Ghost's collection in the small refrigerator. He finally found a bottle of "Hawthorn Berry Flavor" happy water, opened the cap, and drained half of the cold, refreshing drink in one go.

Then his shoulders slumped, and he slumped into the chair like a deflated balloon.

An inexplicable feeling of being dragged out to work overtime in the middle of summer, finally returning home and downing a bottle of ice-cold happy water, then collapsing in relaxation and pleasure. He burped and said, "Anyway, no matter how you guessed it, I definitely can't tell you who forged this sword."

Kai Mingzai took a straw from the cabinet next to him, stuck it into the glass cola bottle, and slowly sucked the air with his molars.

As for whether the power of karma could detect anything? Although Kai Ming and Bai Ze didn't have a big discussion about it, they were both old foxes who knew what the other was thinking with just a glance. In this matter, even if they knew Wei Yuan could see through it, even if the Dragon Girl in green knew they knew Wei Yuan could see through it, they had to pretend they didn't.

The trouble was too great.

Too great.

Whoever gets involved is an idiot.

Wei Yuan didn't say anything, but after a long silence, he asked, "What's the name of this sword?"

Kai Ming scratched his head and said, "I don't know. Maybe you should name it?"

"Life and death reincarnation, even gods, as long as they haven't reached the level of mastering mythological concepts, can't escape it. Once trapped within, it's absolutely difficult to break free. How about calling it the Trapped Immortal Sword?" Wei Yuan held the sword, noncommittal, and finally said, "Let's call it Samsara."

This sword was forged based on the rudimentary Dao fruit of life and death reincarnation, so taking this name was naturally no problem.

Kai Mingzai curled his lips. "If you weren't planning on listening to my opinion, why did you ask me?"

"I always have to ask you to give you a sense of participation." Wei Yuan joked, then swept his fingers across the blade of the sword. The Samsara Sword hummed and then naturally transformed into sword light, returning to the sheath. The sheath of the longsword seemed to contain Yin and Yang energy, flowing and changing, presenting an extremely profound feeling.

Wei Yuan waved his sleeve, and the Qingping Sword also landed beside him.

Now, Wei Yuan had the Qingping Sword in his hand, representing the endless sky, the Samsara Sword, representing the reincarnation of the earth, and the sword transformed from the sword mark between his eyebrows. If the Chang'an Sword were also included, then he could be said to have all four swords. Although the Chang'an Sword was currently in Lu Fengxian's hands, there was no way to retrieve it for the time being.

However, he could borrow the Xuanyuan Sword from Yu the Great.

Using it for a short time would also allow him to fight.

But when he thought of Lu Fengxian, Wei Yuan frowned slightly…

Lu Fengxian held the Chang'an Sword, originally to assist in the battle to kill Da Zun, but that was the Da Zun of the past, immersed in the glory of the past, unable to extricate himself, and fearing the power of Hun Tian. He could no longer be considered a hero, so there was a high probability that Lu Fengxian would backstab such a Da Zun.

But now, the Foundation of the Turbid World used its own death to awaken the heart of the strongest Da Zun in the Turbid World, the heart of a former powerhouse.

Would the current Da Zun really be backstabbed by Lu Fengxian?

Wei Yuan felt that the probability was extremely low, but when he told the young Marquis Wu about this in the city of Chaoge, the latter told him not to worry too much, and that it was not impossible for Lu Fengxian's plan to succeed.

But when Wei Yuan asked the young Marquis Wu what his plan was, the latter put on that same appearance of holding a feather fan and wearing a turban, as if he had his own brilliant plan.

Wei Yuan was so angry that he directly knocked him on the head twice. But even so, Marquis Wu didn't say anything.

He only said that Wei Yuan himself belonged to the concept and rules of 'karma', and if Wei Yuan knew Marquis Wu's plan, it would be equivalent to creating a connection at the karmic level. In that case, Da Zun, who stood in the Turbid World and could control many laws and concepts, might have a way to directly know these things through the Great Dao rules of karma.

And Wei Yuan chose to trust the young man.

Therefore, the Chang'an Sword could only remain with Lu Fengxian for the time being. This sword was in harmony with Wei Yuan's mind. If something really went wrong, as long as Wei Yuan's mind moved, no matter how far apart they were, the sword could break through space and reappear before Wei Yuan in an instant.

"So, have all the swords been gathered?"

Kai Mingzai looked at the two swords rotating in front of Wei Yuan, feeling the powerful force contained within. He couldn't help but reveal a complicated and emotional expression. He had seen Wei Yuan's Zhuxian Sword Formation before and knew how powerful it was, enough for Wei Yuan to fight many opponents alone. Now that he had more powerful weapons in hand, the power of this sword formation would be even stronger.

The main point was the absolute killing sword that would be revealed after all four swords were gathered.

Now, going to find Houtu should not lead to him falling into it and being trapped, right?

Kai Ming sighed inwardly. He was actually happy to see Wei Yuan become stronger. Because of the relationship between Wei Yuan and Kunlun, the karma and incense were too heavy. Just because of the relationship between Wei Yuan and Jue, Wei Yuan would go to find the lost Queen Mother of the West. The predicament that could trap the Queen Mother of the West was undoubtedly extraordinary.

The stronger Wei Yuan was, the greater the probability that he would find out what happened in Kunlun that year, find the Queen Mother of the West's current whereabouts, and successfully rescue her.

Kai Ming said, "So, the sword has been delivered, and you've received it. At least I've fulfilled my promise to that person."

"Also, the Nine Heavens Gate has been repaired. Do you want to try it?"

"You only used one Heavenly Gate before and couldn't find Houtu's whereabouts. I see that your strength is getting stronger and stronger. Now that you're using my Nine Heavens Gate, maybe you'll have a chance to find Houtu's traces. How about it? I'll protect you. Do you want to try it now?"

Wei Yuan repeatedly considered it, nodded slightly, and decided to give it a try…

Only operating the Nine Heavens Gate's positioning and searching ability, without directly putting his true spirit into it, should be fine. After all, his current skill was unified as one, far more powerful than when Jinmu Yuanjun was searching for Houtu's traces in that future.

In addition, with the divine sword by his side and Kai Ming's protection, he might not fall into the trap. He could try it.

If he really encountered a special situation, he would directly unleash the Zhuxian Sword Formation, then change the formation and directly activate the absolute killing move of 'Primal Beginning Opens the Heavens, I Judge Yin and Yang' and throw it into it. There would be no more than three people under heaven who could withstand this move.

Seeing Wei Yuan nod in agreement, Kai Ming's expression gradually became solemn.

There was no longer the ease of joking and seeking pleasure from the past.

'Houtu' was the virtue of the earth.

To put it this way, if Fuxi was the scum of the gods and Nüwa was the beloved of the Purified World, then Houtu would be ranked second in terms of favorability.

She was the existence in the Purified World whose interpersonal relationships were second only to Nüwa. Even Kai Ming was willing to help such a person in distress, and Kai Ming's heart was also mixed with a trace of his own thoughts, hoping to help Houtu, leave a good karma, and then hope that Houtu could help him find the Queen Mother of the West in the future.

This was also the reason why he was so helpful. None other. The fully repaired Nine Heavens Gate appeared in the void.

Almost visibly to the naked eye, countless strands of laws protruded from the void. Some represented direction, some represented life and death, and some represented time. They were extremely complex and exuded a powerful and profound feeling, yet they were all suppressed by the Nine Heavens Gate, this Kunlun treasure. "Do you want me to help you?" Kai Ming kindly reminded.

After all, this was a magic treasure that extremely tested the user's skills, not a crude thing. If one was not careful or negligent, there was no way to use it. From Wei Yuan's previous behavior, this Primal Heavenly Lord had extremely rich abilities to disassemble this top-notch divine weapon magic treasure with one hand, but he didn't have the profundity to make this thing bloom.

But Kai Ming's voice stopped abruptly before it could finish.

He widened his eyes, watching Wei Yuan reach out, his five fingers gently clasping together. Then, countless turbulent laws that needed to be suppressed by the combined force of the Nine Heavens Gate surged towards him, and after the Daoist took a light step, the chaotic laws within and without this ten directions instantly became quiet.

Heavenly Gates surrounded Wei Yuan one by one.

The laws flowed like water waves under his palms, obediently, as if they were being suppressed by Mount Buzhou, leaving Kai Ming stunned. At this moment, the nine Kunlun treasures that even he needed some effort to control, boomed, and almost all opened at the same time!

Then, with Wei Yuan as the center, golden karma, like the morning light, instantly spread out.

Following the many laws represented by the nine Heavenly Gates, it spread to the past, present, future, four directions, life and death, these ten directional concepts. This was a method of use that even Kai Ming himself could not achieve. The combination of karma and the Nine Heavens Gate meant that anything within the ten directions that had karma with this Daoist would instantly give feedback.

Kai Ming looked at the Daoist with his eyes lowered calmly and sighed, "Now it seems, he really has a bit of the taste of the cause of all fruits."

"However, this also requires the help of my Ten Direction Seating, and requires my Nine Heavens Gate to pull the Ten Direction concepts. Only then can you achieve this 'Cause of All Fruits'. Without the Nine Heavens Gate, even the current you can't achieve this." Kai Mingzai added unwillingly in his heart, and then suddenly thought, could this guy have tasted the sweetness in this search for Houtu, and then directly take the Nine Heavens Gate and not return it?

Kai Ming's mind almost already flashed the picture, flashed the action of Wei Yuan stuffing the Heavenly Gate into his sleeve.

Then he would confidently say, "What do you mean by taking it?"

"Snatching? You're slandering me!"

"Can a civil official's actions be called snatching? It's borrowing!"

Just at this moment, suddenly the surrounding vitality lit up, and the laws changed unpredictably. Kai Ming came back to his senses from his wild thoughts and was startled, "This is, there's a reaction! Did you find Houtu? Wei Yuan!"

His voice was filled with joy, and then his expression froze.

Because the lit laws were not just in one place!

Layers of floating light flowed and changed, winding around Wei Yuan, who was suppressing the ten directional laws and faintly possessed the bearing of the cause of all fruits.
