Chapter 107 Karma

The vast aura, the changes of cause and effect, the H浑天之躯 (Huntiān zhī qū, Body of Chaos) had only just seen the white-haired Daoist in front of him speak those heroic words in a calm tone. Before he could respond, the latter's expression suddenly changed, and his body staggered. He leaned forward, and if he hadn't supported himself with the sword in his hand, he probably would have fallen directly to the ground.

But even so, it was easy to see that the white-haired Daoist was not in good condition.

His face paled slightly, and the aura around him began to decrease at a rapid pace.

If the H渾天之軀 hadn't sensed a trend of dispersing cultivation,

He would have almost thought that the Daoist in front of him had been secretly attacked and was dispersing all of his Daoist practice on the spot, about to undergo immediate disintegration.

"What's wrong?"

The H渾天之軀 reached out to shake the Daoist in front of him.

But as soon as he touched his shoulder,

He felt a soft yet incredibly resilient force suddenly explode. Even the Tongtian Daoist, who possessed the H渾天之軀 on the outside and the Great Cave True Scripture on the inside, felt a stinging numbness in his palm for a moment. He was directly bounced back. The Daoist in front of him felt like a terrifying volcano suppressing boundless flames, with chaotic and explosive inner energy.

It was unknown when it would completely erupt.

The H渾天之軀's expression was solemn. He glanced back. Because the Kunlun Mirror in Wei Yuan's hand had been humming non-stop just now, it had attracted many warriors from the Turbid World. He had only just cultivated the Great Cave True Scripture of the Daoist Shangqing Sect. As for divine powers, they were still just the body's instincts from his memories. He wasn't afraid when he was alone, but at the moment, there was also Wei Yuan, who was in an abnormal state for some reason.

He couldn't possibly take this guy to venture into danger.

The instinct remaining in Tongtian Daoist's body made him reach out.

It seemed that this body's instinct wouldn't allow him to ignore the guy in front of him.

Since there was no way to directly touch his physical body, he would have to 'grab' the surrounding space as well.

Then, he circulated the Daoist methods and quickly rushed away from the direction of the pursuers.

The Turbid World warriors behind him quickly pursued, gathering extremely pure turbid Qi and turning it into various divine powers with the vast power to split mountains and break seas. The Tongtian Daoist only relied on his incomparably pure Daoist Qi and Qi phase to restrain them. As if sensing that he was now in a safe place, Wei Yuan simply closed his eyes, which made Tongtian Daoist feel stifled.

You're having a good time!

You made those bold statements more fiercely than anyone else!

Now you're closing your eyes and not saying a word!

A fierce wind rose behind him, and even before that wind, an extremely pure and powerful Qi had torn through. Tongtian Daoist's expression didn't change. He took the blow head-on, and the principles of Daoist emptiness and transformation were in operation. Not only was he not injured, but he also used this external force to rush forward.

At the same time, within Wei Yuan's spiritual platform, the changes were earth-shattering!

Damn it!

He actually overlooked this point!

Wei Yuan gritted his teeth.

Although it was said that it was Tongtian Daoist, the cause and effect itself was already very large. In addition, Wei Yuan personally gave him this name in jest, which further aggravated the cause and effect. But the most important thing was not this—

The most important thing was the previous incarnation of Tongtian Daoist.

It was Huntian!

Once, he was an unparalleled powerhouse in both the Clear and Turbid Worlds, the strongest!

He had even transcended.

The power of this cause and effect feedback was so strong that even Wei Yuan himself found it a little terrifying. At this moment, this vast power was constantly feeding back, following the cause and effect of karma, transforming into a Daoist in the form of a blue-shirted swordsman. At the center was the Jade Purity Primordial Heavenly Lord, and on the right was the Shangqing Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Lord dressed in blue. At this moment, there was still a constant flow of feedback, like smoke, making the face of the Shangqing Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Lord even clearer.

Within the spiritual platform, the image of the Jade Purity Primordial Heavenly Lord was dignified and majestic, while the Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Lord on one side was free and sharp.

This was clearly the method of One Qi Transforming into Three Purities, Three Purities Returning to One Qi.

This didn't come from some legend; it had long existed in Daoism.

The Grand Luo generates the Xuan Yuan Primordial Three Qi, which transforms into the Three Purities.

When used, they are divided into three, but in essence, they are always one.

But now, only two types have been evolved, lacking the most critical foundation of the Taishang's existence, which is the basis for the Three Purities to sit opposite each other. This is like a strange building, with such a noisy and grand scene above, beautiful and mysterious beyond description, but lacking a cornerstone. The result of this will only be the collapse of this beautiful building, completely turning into ruins.

At this moment, the Primordial, representing the cause of all fruits and the beginning of everything,

And the Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Lord, representing the destruction of all fruits and the end of everything, had a direct connection with each other.

Wei Yuan himself watched all of this happen. He was both above it and immersed in it, as if he himself was one of the Primordial Heavenly Lord or the Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Lord. But although he could sense it, he was immersed in such a state and unable to move, like a lucid dream he had once had when he had no cultivation.

At this time, Wei Yuan could even sense the Turbid World warriors outside rushing towards him and Tongtian Daoist.

Tongtian Daoist seemed unable to resist.

Wei Yuan's mind moved.

The Qingping Sword, which he was dragging in his hand, suddenly let out a long cry, and then transformed into countless incomparably sharp sword lights, only circling and whistling around him. The Turbid World warriors who had approached were almost instantly cut into pieces, their souls scattered, leaving not a trace of their true spirits. Tongtian Daoist was shocked and subconsciously turned his head to look.

He saw that the white-haired Daoist he was carrying forward was still closing his eyes.

His breathing was long, carrying the spirit and embracing the soul.

It was truly the most profound Daoist state of breathing.

It was impossible to achieve this level unless the soul was relaxed to the limit.

And the sword Qi was sharp and extraordinary, circling around, making it difficult for even the gods and demons of the Turbid World to withstand one or two swords, yet it was condensed to the extreme. Wei Yuan's voice directly transmitted to Tongtian Daoist's ears: "Retreat quickly."

Tongtian Daoist nodded slightly. He was already a very indifferent character, and in an instant, he accelerated and flew forward.

And the Qingping Sword circled around.

Any Turbid World gods or demons who dared to approach were cut off by such sharp sword Qi.

Seeing such a tragic scene, even those Turbid World gods and demons knew how powerful it was and dared not get too close, but they were unwilling to leave like this. So they just hung back at a distance, and another group of gods and demons gritted their teeth and said: "If we let this Huntian Body escape with his weapon, the Grand尊 (Dà Zūn, Esteemed One) will surely be furious. At that time, we will probably be worse than dead."

"Quickly go and report to the Grand尊 and the Great Commander."

"We'll chase after them here."

In just an instant, the Turbid World gods and demons split into two groups. One part left instantly, dividing their light and shadows, heading towards extremely distant places, seeking the strongmen of the Turbid World. The other part hung far behind Tongtian Daoist and Wei Yuan, unwilling to go far and afraid to come forward.

And Wei Yuan sensed that these Turbid World gods and demons seemed afraid to come close.

Only then did he breathe a slight sigh of relief.

His heart stirred slightly, and the divine weapon Qingping Sword, which had been circling and whistling around him, suddenly stopped and hovered in the void.

Wei Yuan felt a little annoyed in his heart. His soul flowed naturally, and he could also sense the changes and flow of power beneath his skin, which were far more vast and turbulent than before. But he simply had no way to move his body, like a fat man who had eaten too much, finding it difficult to even move a finger.

Wei Yuan finally understood Hu Di's feelings!

Because he was now like this too.

He was 'stuffed'!

Even, if not for the body of the Primordial Heavenly Lord, in harmony with the wonderful Dharma, and Wei Yuan also having the cause and effect feedback of Old Buzhou Mountain, and his own physical strength had greatly improved compared to before, he would probably have inflated like a balloon on the spot, like Old Man Hu Di, and show Tongtian Daoist what it meant to become fat in one breath.

But even just like this wasn't good.

Wei Yuan looked inward and saw the Jade Purity Primordial Heavenly Lord and the Shangqing Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Lord sitting opposite each other in the spiritual platform.

Symbolizing the beginning of everything and the end of everything.

And Wei Yuan's own suddenly surging Qi was constantly changing and spitting out between this beginning and end. Every time it experienced it, it became a little purer, faster and faster, almost like roaring thunder or a great river. And such rapid changes in Qi also put Wei Yuan's body into extremely deep cultivation for a time.

"If this continues, I'm really going to be numb. I don't know how many times I'll have to purify my cultivation to stabilize it."

Wei Yuan had a headache.

If he purified it for another seven or eight years, wouldn't it be equivalent to [The Primordial Heavenly Lord being trapped in the Turbid World for seven years]?

Although the trajectory was different from the original fate, the general ending was the same.

Wei Yuan exhaled and concentrated his mind, revitalized his spirit, and then watched the changes in his spiritual platform, slowly gaining some understanding. Since the two Heavenly Lord Dharma appearances were now rapidly circulating Qi, then couldn't suppressing the Qi changes between these two great Heavenly Lord appearances also prevent the exchange and circulation of Qi, stabilizing the current state of his cultivation?

Wei Yuan's mind moved.

On the spiritual platform, the movements of the Jade Purity Primordial Heavenly Lord's appearance changed instantly.

The left hand formed a void pinch, and the right hand formed a void hold.

The Way of Cause and Effect hung above his palm.

Heaven and earth had not yet taken shape, chaos had not yet opened, and all things had not yet been born.

And the Shangqing Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Lord on the other side also underwent corresponding changes.

The Qingping Sword, which had been circling outside, suddenly turned into a stream of light and went straight into Wei Yuan's brow. Then the expression of the Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Lord Dharma appearance, dressed in blue, also changed. He hung the Qingping Sword around his waist and tapped it with his hand. His temperament was free and sharp, with an aura of great destruction. His own Dao fruit suppressed the Dharma appearance. In an instant, Wei Yuan only felt bursts of roaring from the spiritual platform, and then auspicious yellow clouds were naturally born.

The speed of Qi exchange and purification between the Primordial Heavenly Lord, representing the beginning, and the Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Lord, representing tribulation and destruction, slowed down.

Wei Yuan's body and fingers moved.

But it still wasn't enough.

With just this, Wei Yuan still had no way to completely regain control of his body.

In other words, there was still a lack of a Dharma appearance that could serve as the Taishang's foundation for existence to maintain the balance between the two.

Foundation stone, foundation stone…

Wei Yuan faintly felt something in the dark, but he couldn't grasp it. His true body was becoming more and more leisurely in his breath, and his expression was extremely peaceful.

………………

At the same time, deep within the Turbid World.

The gods and demons who had come from guarding the H渾天之軀 to seek reinforcements had originally planned to go to the palace of the Turbid World Grand尊, but they were blocked by layers upon layers of formations. This represented that the Grand尊 was currently cultivating. At this time, no matter who it was, no matter what had happened, no one could disturb the Grand尊.

Just as the Turbid World god and demon was feeling anxious,

Layers of ripples rippled on the formation, and then a figure strode out, his expression silent and his figure tall.

It was precisely the foundation of the Turbid World.

"What happened? Why are you in such a hurry?!"

The god and demon's heart trembled, and he quickly told everything that had just happened.

"??! The H渾天之軀 defected?"

"And he's carrying a white-haired Daoist?!"

"Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?!"

The expression of the Turbid World foundation changed slightly.

And the god and demon said: "This subordinate is absolutely sure that I did not see it wrong. There is also a sword around him, the sword light is cyan, like the sky above, very sharp. Even our commander only blocked the first sword, and then was cut in two by the second sword." When he mentioned this scene, even the Turbid World god and demon had a look of horror in his eyes.

The Turbid World foundation's face was gloomy, and he said slowly: "Qingping Sword!"

He glanced at the wounded god and demon in front of him and said: "Failing to stop him is not your fault."

"Being able to come back alive means you have already done your best."

"You can go and rest now. After I come back, I will personally commend you. The Grand尊 is cultivating, so there is no need to disturb him. That Primordial Heavenly Lord is probably still不死 (bù sǐ, not dead - immortal) and actually dared to come and rescue the H渾天之軀, but now it seems that he has suffered some kind of serious injury. I will personally capture him back."

The god and demon's heart relaxed.

The Turbid World foundation was the absolute strongest in the entire Turbid World who was most skilled in strength and defense.

The first echelon of the Dao Fruit Realm.

And unlike the personality of Buzhou Mountain in the Clear World, he was extremely reliable.

With him taking action, there would naturally be no problem.

The god and demon agreed, and then said: "Since you are leaving, and the Grand尊 is in seclusion, there is still a need for guards."

"Should we notify General Lü Fengxian?"

"Let Him come back first to protect the Grand尊?"

The Turbid World foundation raised his eyes, as sharp as a knife, and said: "Lü Fengxian? No need. Remember, you must never trust this person. The Grand尊 is originally a heroic master. The Turbid World is briefly deceived by him, but one day he will see clearly. Before that, we need you and me to protect the Grand尊."

"Yes!"

The Turbid World foundation healed the wounds of this god and demon general, and then, even though the Turbid World Grand尊 did not know, he bowed in the direction of the Grand尊, and said respectfully and loyally: "Grand尊, this subordinate learned of the Primordial Heavenly Lord's whereabouts. He came to my Turbid World and plundered the H渾天之軀. Therefore, this subordinate is going to capture him. I cannot fulfill my duty of guarding, so please forgive me, Grand尊."

After bowing again, he turned and left.

To chase and kill the Primordial Heavenly Lord and the H渾天之軀.

………………

Guixu is the great ravine of the East Sea, and it is a passage of the Clear and Turbid Worlds, parallel to the starry sky and the central sea.

This natural passage for exchanging the atmosphere and foundation of the two worlds is inherently prone to being invaded by Turbid World gods and demons or Clear Qi powerhouses.

There are countless Guixu walkers who inadvertently fall into the Turbid World while performing their tasks. They cultivate and explore in different worlds, and more or less come into contact with the existence of the Turbid World. The power produced by them is called magic soldiers, and the powerhouses in the Turbid World are called extraterrestrial demons by the Guixu walkers.

Falling into the Turbid World will be attacked by the extraterrestrial demons, who will devour their foundation, flesh and blood, and scatter their souls.

This is the precept and warning in Guixu.

And today, Guixu walkers also appeared in this rift.

Then it attracted the Turbid World god and demon guards.

However, before these gods and demons could get close, they were cut through by a sharp sword light.

A clear voice of reading came: "Raising the sons of the country with the Dao is to teach them the Six Arts. Although swordsmanship is not among my Confucian Six Arts, a gentleman must not be without a sword. We scholars have upright thoughts, and even ghosts and gods cannot invade our souls, let alone you weaklings?"

It was a handsome man wearing a Confucian crown.

He returned the sword in his hand to the scabbard at his waist.

His eyes were as warm as jade, but there was a scale between his eyebrows, like a strange beast. He swept around and said with the scroll in his hand: "The Clear and Turbid are intertwined, similar to Yin and Yang, life and death, the cycle of change is extremely mysterious."

"Master, Master."

"In this place, you will definitely be able to reverse life and death and return again."

This man in the guise of a scholar is none other than Qilin, one of the Four Guardians of Guixu!

The helpless voice of the Master seemed to be heard in his ears:

"You, ah, you, what are you calling the old man back for… Besides, aren't you worried that the Lord of Guixu will notice?"

Qilin said confidently: "Don't worry, Master. The Lord of Guixu is now thinking about how to advance to the top ten peaks."

"But the other guards seem to be planning a rebellion."

"Now the entire Guixu is in chaos, and they have no interest in looking for us."

Qilin added: "But I have already suppressed the rebellion of these guys, so the Lord of Guixu doesn't know."

The old Master in his ear asked with a smile: "As a minister, how about serving the sovereign loyally?"

Qilin replied decisively: "If the sovereign has great faults, then admonish him; if he is admonished but does not change, then replace him!"

The Master smiled dumbly.

But he couldn't stop his disciple.

"Really, if Senior Brother Yuan and Senior Brother Zilu were here, they would have overturned the table and rebelled long ago."

Qilin muttered, and quickly went deep into the Turbid World.

The atmosphere of the Turbid World seemed to become more and more turbid and oppressive.

It was like a sign that a storm was coming.
