Chapter 144 Defying Heaven's Cause and Effect
The Great Battle of Origins has officially come to an end, and the Primordial Divine Source has finally emerged and found its home.
The news spread throughout the Northern Capital City and then quickly swept across the entire Northern Frontier.
"The pro-war faction has won! We absolutely cannot back down in the face of the gray fog!"
"It is the will of Heaven. The Heavenly Calculator, the Old Man of Heavenly Calculation, and the Primordial Immortal Emperor of the Stone Clan have both stated that only a battle can offer them a sliver of hope!"
"From this day forward, prepare for war!"
War has become a consensus across the entire northern border region!
Numerous forces, large and small, as well as immortal clans, dispatched experts to lead teams to the Northern Emperor City to participate in the conference hosted by the Sun Moon Sect and the Sword Sect, and to discuss how to combat the strange gray fog.
At the same time, the name "Zhan Yiyuan" (meaning "fight against alien forces") also shook the entire northern frontier.
"Those chosen by the Old Man of Broken Sky, without him, would have truly been in grave danger for the Sun Moon Sect and the Sword Sect this time!"
"Both the Ancient Origin Lineage and the Bloodline Lineage have been defeated... This child is truly extraordinary."
"What's remarkable isn't him, but the fortune of the entire human race. Just as he himself said, during the Great Battle of Origins, the human race's fortune was correcting itself. So, even though his own fortune was broken, he still won!"
The public is buzzing with discussion!
……
And this moment.
"War in the northern frontier?"
The Celestial Court's special envoy, Gu Ling, has arrived in the Northern Emperor City. Upon learning of everything that has happened and sensing the high morale of the people, she couldn't help but frown slightly.
The formation of a war alliance among the major powers in the Northern Frontier is not a good thing for the Celestial Court.
Only when the Northern Frontier is divided can the Celestial Court better govern. Now that the Northern Frontier has united as one, and has even obtained something like the Primordial Divine Source, will it affect the Celestial Court's plans?
Especially her master's plan to find Yuan Tianjun?
She immediately sent a message to the Celestial Court.
……
"The emergence of the Primordial Divine Source has led to the merger of the pro-war faction in the Northern Frontier?"
Above the thirty-third heaven of the Celestial Court, in the Lingxiao Palace, even the Heavenly Lord Xunyuan couldn't help but ponder.
He already knew about the situation in the Northern Frontier. After all, people from various major forces such as the Sun Moon Sect, the Sword Sect, and the Li Clan were stationed in the Immortal Court. Since the appearance of the gray mist, the memorials from the major forces in the Northern Frontier had never stopped.
Both the peace faction and the war faction hoped to gain the support of the Celestial Court.
But the Celestial Court never made a decision; they just kept waiting. In their view, the best situation was that the Northern Frontier was divided and unable to unite...
Unexpectedly, the situation has suddenly changed.
What on earth happened? The changes were so rapid... And according to previous intelligence, weren't the peace faction supposed to have the upper hand? The Li family has the help of a bloodline and divine divination!
"Fighting the alien source? The Old Man of Broken Sky?"
According to the message sent back by Gu Ling, it was these two people who rewrote the situation, but these two people seemed to have appeared out of thin air, and he had never heard of them before!
He couldn't figure it out and didn't bother to think about it any further.
"Once they integrate the Primordial Divine Source into the world and construct a protective array, it will be much more difficult for the eerie gray mist to enter..."
Xun Yuantianjun pondered for a moment, then sent a message: "A protective array will be set up in the Northern Frontier. Quickly break through the border to eliminate future troubles!"
This message was sent to that strange envoy, Lin Ruoxue!
Before the Northern Frontier can refine the Primordial Divine Source into a protective array, we will break through the border!
In this way, even if the Northern Frontier possessed the Primordial Divine Source... it would be powerless to reverse the situation.
"Find out the origins of the Old Man of Broken Sky and Zhan Yiyuan."
He sent another message to Gu Ling, showing considerable wariness towards this suddenly appearing figure.
……
Beidi City, Li family.
"What's going on?!"
Li Cangwu and the others returned to their clan. He immediately went to find Tiankun Zhenren, wanting to find out how Li Lan was able to win in the end. However, he only found a mess on the ground!
The altar was destroyed, the peach wood sword turned to ashes, and even the physical body of Daoist Tiankun was reduced to ashes, barely recognizable as human...
"I don't know, it was already like this when we found it... Oh right, Mr. Tiankun also has a wisp of his remnant spirit attached to the Heavenly Mystery Coin!"
The guard elder spoke in a trembling voice, hurriedly taking out half of a Heavenly Secret Coin.
Li Cangwu was startled and immediately took out a precious medicine that nourished the divine spirit and poured it into the Heavenly Secret Coin.
"Mr. Tiankun... are you alright?"
Li Cangwu asked a question.
"You fucking bastard! ￥%＃￥￥..."
From within the copper coin, a miserable yet furious curse rang out, leaving Li Cangwu and the others stunned. Why was Master Tiankun so angry?
"You bunch of bastards, you've ruined my life!"
After cursing for a long time, Master Tiankun finally spoke up: "Do you know how huge the karma behind Zhan Yiyuan is... Damn it, the entire ocean of karma is boiling! I just wanted to stir up a ripple, but the other party directly caused a tsunami! If I hadn't reacted quickly, I wouldn't even be able to save this remnant spirit now!"
"You bunch of idiots and bastards from the Li family, go to hell!!!"
Master Tiankun was furious. He had devoted his life to cultivation, but now he was left with only a remnant spirit, a truly tragic end.
All of this was because of the Li family; they had created an enemy whose strength they knew nothing about, which brought him this great disaster.
Upon hearing this, Li Cangwu, Li Daoling, and the others were all shocked!
what?
Tiankun Daoist was actually turned into this state due to the backlash of karma.
But... how could this be?
The Heavenly Secrets lineage is all-encompassing and can influence the cause and effect of this world in the slightest way. How could they be backfired?
Moreover, it was the causal backlash from Zhan Yiyuan?
That Zhan Yiyuan has such ability?!
"Could it be..."
Li Daoling subconsciously said, "Zhan Yiyuan wasn't killed not because his karma was too small, but because... his karma was too great?!"
Upon hearing this conclusion, everyone was stunned!
While they were in the mine, they witnessed firsthand that Li Lan couldn't even summon the chain of order. At that time, they even mocked him, saying that Li Lan would never achieve much in his life because he didn't have any significant karma.
The result wasn't that there wasn't any... but rather that it was too, too big?
Is it so large that the chain of order cannot be established?
For a moment, everyone felt a chill run down their spines. Just what kind of being was this Zhan Yiyuan?!
"impossible!"
Li Cangwu roared, "What is this boy capable of? Could he possibly be stronger than a Great Power or a Saint? Is his background comparable to a Celestial Venerable?!"
The Heavenly Secrets lineage is renowned for its Causal Reversal Technique, which has been used against powerful figures and even immortal saints, but none of them have suffered such a backlash!
Zhan Yiyuan isn't even an immortal yet, so what makes him so special?
"There must be some extraordinary figure behind him..."
Master Tiankun also spoke up, gritting his teeth: "This peerless figure might actually be an existence above the Immortal Saint!"
Even Master Tiankun didn't believe that all of this was caused by such a nobody as Li Lan.
Because Li Lan's strength is really insignificant now. In the eyes of Tiankun Zhenren, Li Cangwu and others, only those with overwhelming cultivation can be worthy of the title of "Great Cause and Effect Person".
"Correct!"
Li Cangwu couldn't help but think of something: "The appearance of this boy is obviously a conspiracy. Someone is plotting against us, pushing the entire northern frontier towards the pro-war faction step by step!"
The more Li Cangwu thought about it, the more certain he became of this point. After all, every step he took in the battle against the alien source was meticulously planned.
He encountered the Old Man of Broken Sky on the street, received copper coins, and his good fortune attracted attention. He defeated the Blood Refining Stone, cut out an extraordinary item at the Li Clan's mine, and finally defeated the Blood Refining Source, cut out the Stone Monkey, and spread the prophecy of war... etc. If it wasn't a planned conspiracy, he wouldn't believe it.
He even began to suspect that the Old Man of Broken Sky might just be a figurehead carefully erected by Zhan Yiyuan. Was the Old Man of Broken Sky really a member of the Heavenly Mystery Sect?
"There are experts manipulating the market, and the Li family didn't even notice!"
He gritted his teeth!
"The person behind this is at least a Source Master."
Blood Refining Source spoke in a deep voice, his face filled with hatred: "Only a Source Master could break my master's formation, and even cause the formation's power to backfire on him, causing his death and annihilation..."
He had already visited the last remaining Blood Master of their bloodline, his master, who had been annihilated, body and soul!
It should be noted that the old Blood Master was already a Perfected Source Mage, just one step away from entering the Source Earth Master ranks. His death was so quiet and clean, who else could it be but a Source Earth Master?
"Origin Master!"
Li Cangwu was taken aback.
They had also heard that the Source Master was an unparalleled expert among Source Warriors. Such a person could even change mountains and rivers, and manipulate the flow of Source Veins, etc.
There was once a Source Master in history who used Source Techniques to kill two Immortal Saints!
"If it's a Source Earth Master... then it's possible. Such a person can also comprehend cause and effect!"
The voice of Daoist Tiankun rang out!
"Behind a mere Zhan Yiyuan, there is actually a Source Earth Master in charge... From the very beginning, we underestimated him and our attention was diverted by the Heavenly Mystery Copper Coin!"
Li Cangwu said in a deep voice!
They did not believe that Li Lan was the source master himself, because throughout history, all source masters had taken thousands of years to achieve their status, and Li Lan was still too young.
Moreover, Li Lan doesn't even have a trace of Origin Dao aura, and has never cultivated Origin Techniques!
"Dealing with the Origin Earth Master... will probably not be easy."
Master Tiankun asked, "Does your Li clan still have more than three Immortal Saints lying dormant?"
To kill the Source Earth Master, at least three Immortal Saints would be needed to ensure victory.
"Heh, a Source Earth Master is indeed strong enough, but to shake the Li family... it's far from enough!"
Li Cangwu's face was grim as he said, "Please wait a moment!"
He turned and left, heading towards the underground palace!
The Origin Master has emerged... We must ask that person to take action.
In his view, even a Source Master is nothing in front of that person!
After all, that being was a forbidden being from the beginning!
Full of confidence, he entered the underground palace, but upon arrival, he was taken aback...
Because everything in front of us has changed.
The Heavenly Yin Formation was in utter ruins; the mountain of mysterious ice had completely melted away, and the hidden underground palace was now just a mess of broken walls and ruins...
What happened?!
His pupils trembled involuntarily. Could it be that a peerless master had invaded this place and was going to fight that expert from the Phoenix Clan?
He walked nervously into the underground palace, but when he saw the perfectly intact Primordial Ice Throne inside, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
That person is still here!
She seemed to be taking a nap, her beauty icy and captivating, like an emperor on a throne, inspiring awe.
"Senior, what happened here?..."
He asked the question instinctively.
The woman on the Ice Throne slowly opened her eyes, looked at Li Cangwu, and calmly spoke:
"Whom did your Li family offend by using my phoenix feather?"
"If I hadn't severed the karmic ties in time, the consequences of the karmic calamity would have been unimaginable..."
In fact, the consequences are not hard to imagine: she died and her spirit was extinguished!
But she didn't say it explicitly.
Even though it wasn't explicitly stated... Li Cangwu's expression changed drastically at this moment, utterly incredulous.
Shocking, utterly shocking!
