Chapter 623: Promoting the Great Tribulation, Karma of Variables

Feng Yu looked up and did not see anyone, but his consciousness was still pulled out, indicating that he had encountered danger.
“There’s an enemy, be careful!”
The artifact spirit’s voice sounded in his mind with a solemn tone.
Feng Yu immediately woke up the Kunlun Leader. After explaining the situation, the two of them stood up and took out their magical weapons.
Looking around them, they were surrounded by darkness and could not see anything. Moreover, their spiritual will did not capture any aura. There was not even a trace of abnormality. However, the more this was the case, the more the Kunlun Leader frowned.
This feeling was too familiar!
It was the same feeling when he was entangled with the devil. What was happening?
Could it be that another devil had attacked?
The Kunlun Leader’s heart turned heavy. He said in a low voice, “We can’t stay here for long. Let’s leave!”
Feng Yu also thought so. He immediately nodded in agreement and the two of them quickly left.
After they left, the figure of a green snake appeared in the darkness. She raised her right hand and flicked a strand of her long hair. A sinister smile appeared on her snake-like face.
“The karma of the exiled, variables. Interesting. I didn’t expect to encounter a variable in this domain. Moreover, he’s so weak. It seems like it’s because of a certain powerful existence that he became a variable. I wonder if he was born in this domain or escaped from another domain.”
The green snake licked her lips and revealed a greedy expression.
She quietly followed him, and her figure soon disappeared into the darkness without a sound.
…
Time passed.
Jiang Changsheng slowly opened his eyes and stretched his body. He silently calculated. He had been in seclusion for 100,000 years, and it had been 50,000 years since the war between Emperor Xuan Sun and the Heavenly Court. At this moment, the Taiyi Immortal Realm had recovered its peace.
The Imperial Court led by Emperor Xuan Sun was indeed powerful, giving hope to countless ambitious forces. However, when the three thousand worlds were in chaos, the legitimate gods of the Heavenly Court took action one after another and suppressed the chaos with absolute strength. Emperor Xuan Sun was killed and his corpse was hung in front of the South-Heaven Gate, enduring endless humiliation.
After the war was over, everyone thought that the calamity had passed and the Immortal Gods of the Heavenly Court were waiting for the day of their ascension. However, in Jiang Changsheng’s eyes, the seed of the calamity of the Heavenly Court had only been planted and the real calamity was still brewing.
The protagonist of the great calamity was not Emperor Xuan Sun, but one of his grandsons. His name was Zhou Bushi, and Zhou was his adoptive father’s surname.
Zhou Bushi was currently training everywhere and had joined many sects. His cultivation had increased extremely quickly and he was even known as the number one prodigy in the Taiyi Immortal Realm. His reputation was extremely great.
However, no one knew his true identity. He had a supreme treasure on him that could isolate all prying eyes from existences below the Zenith Heaven Realm, and there was no Zenith Heaven Immortal in the Taiyi Immortal Realm.
It was precisely because of Zhou Bushi’s current reputation that he could arouse such an unprecedented disturbance when he declared war on the Heavenly Court.
When Zhou Bushi first became an Immortal Emperor, he was recognized as the person with the most potential to reach Zenith Heaven Realm, and that was even affirmed by the Celestial Emperor himself.
Zhou Bushi had concealed himself well. When he became an Immortal Emperor, he had awakened his bloodline memories and knew his true identity. From that moment, he was prepared to avenge his grandfather and father.
Before he awakened his memories, he had already entered the Mental Wander Realm, and his reputation had spread to the Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm. Many Zenith Heaven Sects were planning to recruit him, looking forward to the day he ascended.
There were rules set by Jiang Changsheng in the Mental Wander Realm, so the Zenith Heaven Immortals could not calculate Zhou Bushi’s background through the Mental Wander Realm. Moreover, they all hoped that the sect would have another Zenith Heaven Immortal.
In a short period of 50,000 years, an existence that even Zenith Heaven Immortals would scramble for was born. Jiang Changsheng could not help but sigh. Times had changed.
It was likely that once he woke up from seclusion again, the Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm would probably be turned upside down.
There’s no need to mention the calamity of the Heavenly Court. Jiang Changsheng looked at the Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm. In the past 100,000 years, there had been two more Zenith Heaven Immortals in the Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm, one of which was Mu Lingluo. She was comprehending the past and the future.
The frequency of producing two Zenith Heaven Immortals in 100,000 years was not bad.
Other than the Zenith Heaven Immortals, the number of people in the Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm had far exceeded the past. The number of Immortal Emperors had also increased greatly and everything was developing in a good direction. The Zenith Heaven Immortals had also begun to roam the boundless world and establish more karma ties.
Jiang Changsheng looked at Zhou Bushi again.
After the battle between the Imperial Court and the Heavenly Court, everyone was shocked by the terrifying foundation of the Heavenly Court. No matter how talented Zhou Bushi was, it was hard for him to suppress the entire Heavenly Court. He had to have the strength to let everyone see hope before he could trigger a calamity.
“In that case, I’ll lend you a helping hand so that you can fight against ten thousand people of the same realm.”
The corners of Jiang Changsheng’s mouth curled up. He raised his right hand and a spear appeared in his palm. This was the strongest magical weapon he had refined, and its grade was comparable to a Heavenly Spirit Treasure.
Of course, it was the strongest among the magical treasures he had refined. For the time being, this spear could not be compared to a Primordial Chaos Spirit Treasure he had obtained from the survival rewards.
He named it the Heaven Punishing Spear.
He threw the Heaven Punishing Spear gently, and it disappeared in an instant.
Then, he looked at Mu Lingluo again to see what she was immersed in.
With his current cultivation, he could enter the will of an ordinary Zenith Heaven Immortal. Suddenly, his expression changed and his will chased after Mu Lingluo without anyone noticing.
At night, Mu Lingluo’s will stood above the clouds and looked down at the city. She did not notice that Jiang Changsheng’s will was looking at her from afar.
“This is…”
Jiang Changsheng felt a sense of familiarity and could not help but look down.
Figures were shuttling back and forth on the eaves of the city. At the front was a white-robed figure. Looking at her posture, she should be a woman. She held a sword in both hands and wore an opera mask.
Jiang Changsheng revealed a thoughtful expression.
Wasn’t this Great Jing from back then?
The woman in white was Mu Lingluo’s previous life, Hua Jianxin.
When he saw Hua Jianxin, Jiang Changsheng could not help but miss her.
Reincarnation could change people. The white-robed woman of the past had long disappeared. Even though Mu Lingluo had awakened the memories of her previous life, she was no longer the same as before. People were always changing.
Jiang Changsheng could tell that Mu Lingluo had repeated this dozens of times, as if she was looking for something.
Soon, the white-robed woman was surrounded. The situation was critical.
The leader of the men in black held a large saber and coldly said, “Are the White-robed Guards really going to interfere in this matter?”
The white-robed woman snorted and said, “The white robes of Great Jing protect the country and the people.”
Great Jing’s White Robes!
Hearing this name that he had not heard for a long time, Jiang Changsheng missed it even more. That was because the White-robed Guards were now history. The current Heavenly Jing did not have any White-robed Guards.
After that, the white-robed woman broke out of the encirclement and arrived at the foot of Longqi Mountain. Just when the situation was about to turn for the worst, she was saved by Jiang Changsheng with the Taihang Sword.
In Mu Lingluo’s past, Jiang Changsheng was blurry because he was already in the Zenith Heaven Realm and had escaped fate. The blurry Jiang Changsheng was born from her memories and was not the real Jiang Changsheng.
Just like that, the white-robed woman, Hua Jianxin, created karma ties between her and Jiang Changsheng. This was also the starting point of the karma between Mu Lingluo and Jiang Changsheng.
When Hua Jianxin moved into Longqi Mountain, Mu Lingluo waved her hand and let the past reappear.
Jiang Changsheng finally understood. She wanted to find her true self.
He had experienced this process before.
However, what she seemed to want to find was not the true self she wanted, but what she believed Jiang Changsheng wanted, her true self.
As the reincarnation of Hua Jianxin, even though Mu Lingluo accepted it verbally, there had always been a hurdle in her heart. Especially when she studied the Fate Dao, it made her have a different view of her past and present life.
Jiang Changsheng watched silently, but he did not interfere or guide her. The process of a Zenith Heaven Immortal shaping their true self had to rely on themselves. Anyone’s interference would affect their future cultivation.
If he used his own opinion to help Mu Lingluo shape her true self, then Mu Lingluo might only be in the Zenith Heaven Realm in the future. If she relied on herself, she would have the qualifications to seek the sub-realm above the Zenith Heaven Realm, the Zenith Heaven Divine Idol Realm.
The Dao was extremely profound.
Even someone as powerful as Jiang Changsheng had many questions about the Dao.
After a long time.
Jiang Changsheng retracted his will and silently looked at Mu Lingluo, his Dao companion who had grown up under his care and cultivation.
Could he really rely on his own strength to protect the people around him to the end of the road?
…
Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm, Lingxiao Sect.
Empress Xiaohe, one of the Nine Absolute Beginning Saints, had the least number of disciples among the Zenith Heaven Immortals. At present, the Lingxiao Sect only had a few female disciples, so the blessed land was extremely quiet.
In a Daoist temple, Empress Xiaohe was discussing the Dao with her disciples. One of them was the Saint Mother Qingqiu that Jiang Changsheng had met through the orthodoxy revival function. However, she was not a Saint Mother yet.
“Master, the calamity of the Heavenly Court has ended. Why hasn’t the Heavenly Court ascended yet? Could it be that the Dao Ancestor has a deeper meaning?”
A female disciple asked, and the others looked at Empress Xiaohe.
Empress Xiaohe calmly said, “That was only the cause of the great calamity. That war did not reach the level of a great calamity. The karma between heaven and earth has yet to accumulate. The so-called great calamity is related to karma. This is the process of the Heavenly Dao replacing itself. It cleanses the karma and refreshes all beings. Since we are talking about this, I will talk about karma and merit.”
The disciples immediately sat upright and listened attentively.
‘At the same time, a person walked over from the edge of Lingxiao Sect’s blessed land.
This person was Haitian, and Jiang Changsheng suspected that he had inherited the will of the ancient Immortal Dao.
Haitian had been an Immortal Emperor for many years, but he had never understood the mysteries of the Zenith Heaven Realm. He came here to visit Empress Xiaohe and seek an immortal encounter.
He did not dare to barge in rashly. Instead, he advanced on foot, believing that Empress Xiaohe could sense his aura.
He continued forward.
Haitian suddenly felt something and stopped. He turned around and saw a person flying over from the horizon.
The newcomer was Jin Chanzi of the Buddhist Sect. Since the end of the discussion about suffering, the Buddhist Sect had prospered and he had officially begun to cultivate. After hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation, he naturally became an Immortal Emperor and ascended.
Jin Chanzi landed by his side and put his palms together. “Amitabha. I am Jin Chanzi. How may I address you?”
The grand-disciple of the Ten Thousand Buddha Ancestor!
Haitian had obviously heard of Jin Chanzi and hastily replied, “My name is Haitian. Greetings, Fellow Daoist.”
Jin Chanzi stared at Haitian and said, “Fellow Daoist, there are two kinds of karma in you. One belongs to the present and the other comes from the past. Both karma belong to you, but these two karma cannot be calculated. It seems like Fellow Daoist has a great background. Could it be that Fellow Daoist’s soul comes from the boundless world?”
Hearing this, Haitian frowned and said, “I was born in the Immortal Dao, so how can I be from the boundless world? Fellow Daoist, don’t talk nonsense. If you can see through my karma, it won’t be too late to make a conclusion.”
