Chapter 1399 - 273: Severing Cause and Effect

Chapter 1399: Chapter 273: Severing Cause and Effect

Send someone to the outside world to gather resources!

Shen Changqing was momentarily stunned.

Gu Xing’s words truly took him by surprise.

Immediately, he pondered, "The Human Clan Realm exists within the Death Forbidden Zone, and outside this realm, there is a powerful formation as a cover, so the Myriad Clans are temporarily unaware of where the Human Clan exists.

In fact, if any of the Myriad Clans knew where the Human Clan was, they would have attacked in groups long ago, not waited until now."

"But among the Myriad Clans, some powerhouses are excellent at deducing. Although they are unaware of the Human Clan Realm’s existence, if someone were to leave the formation’s boundaries, they might be deduced.

Unless we can completely avoid the Myriad Clans’ calculations, sending someone to the Heavens is too dangerous."

At the end of his speech, Shen Changqing shook his head.

Gu Xing’s idea seemed too risky to him.

Sending people out.

Unless it’s possible to block those calculations.

But how to do that specifically, truth be told, Shen Changqing wasn’t very sure either.

Upon hearing this.

Gu Xing’s expression showed some disappointment: "In that case, we can only proceed step by step for now."

"I may not know the method to block the calculations, but others might."

"Who?"

"Qingyi."

"Qingyi?"

Gu Xing was slightly stunned.

He knew of Qingyi’s existence, after all, the other had been active in the Demon Sealing Hall for so long, how could he not know.

But regarding Qingyi’s true origins, Gu Xing was not very knowledgeable.

Shen Changqing said, "Qingyi is the Body-Protecting Treasure of the Qinglian Emperor from the Ancient Imperial Court, existing for countless ages, possessing knowledge unmatched by others. He might hold secrets unknown to us."

"The Ancient Imperial Court!"

Gu Xing’s expression changed.

He knew that the ancient Shen Changqing mentioned was not the Heaven and Earth of ten thousand years ago, but the long-standing Ancient Imperial Court.

The treasure preserved from such ancient eras would undoubtedly hold vast information.

"Alright, I’ll trouble Defender Shen with this matter."

"It’s a small matter. Now that my cultivation has hit a bottleneck, the resources within the realm are limited. I’m planning to venture to the Heavens in search of further possibilities in some time."

"Defender Shen is leaving?"

Gu Xing’s expression changed, but he quickly felt relieved.

Shallow waters cannot raise a True Dragon.

The current Imperial Court is ultimately too small for him; leaving is natural.

"When does Defender Shen plan to leave, and is there anything the Imperial Court can assist with?"

"In a few years; the time is not yet set, but before leaving the Imperial Court, I plan to preach to the world. Any cultivator of the Human Clan may come to listen."

"Preaching to the world!"

Gu Xing was inwardly shaken.

If someone of his caliber preaches to the world, it is bound to cause a great stir.

There is no doubt.

This will be a blessing to all cultivators.

Shen Changqing said, "Currently, the general strength of the Human Clan is too weak. Although Immortal Dao methodologies have been spread, truly converting them to strength isn’t so easy. Preaching before I leave might have some effect.

This matter will be relayed by the Imperial Court, then designate an area for my preaching."

"On behalf of all cultivators, thank you, Defender Shen!"

Gu Xing solemnly bowed.

Preaching to the world is a blessing; if things conclude, the Imperial Court’s strength will surely rise from its current base.

After confirming a few matters, Shen Changqing stood and left.

As he left, Gu Xing immediately convened his court, announcing Shen Changqing’s intention to preach to the world.

"It is a good deed. If Defender Shen preaches to the world, it will not only reinforce our court’s prestige but also strengthen our court. Once news spreads, it will certainly cause a worldwide sensation, gathering all cultivators, creating an unprecedented scene.

So the location for preaching should not be ambiguous; it must reflect the court’s prestige and accommodate numerous cultivators.

After careful consideration, only one place seems most suitable."

Wen Qiu immediately stepped forward, his voice powerful.

Upon hearing this, Gu Xing asked, "Where does Minister Wen think is most suitable?"

"Dragon Head Mountain!"

"Dragon Head Mountain?"

"Indeed, Dragon Head Mountain was once the Great Qin Holy Mountain, where our emperor proclaimed the establishment of the Human Clan Imperial Court. This mountain stands as the Imperial Court’s Dragon Vein. If we set the preaching location there, it will undoubtedly enhance our court’s prestige."

After speaking, Minister Wen bowed. ℯℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Gu Xing looked at the ministers: "What does everyone think?"

"I believe Minister Wen is right. Dragon Head Mountain is perfectly suitable as the preaching location."

"I second that!"

"I third that!"

No one among the courtiers objected.

After all, besides Dragon Head Mountain, they couldn’t think of any other place suitable for Shen Changqing’s world preaching.

Seeing this.

Gu Xing nodded: "Alright, let’s go with Minister Wen’s suggestion, and designate Dragon Head Mountain as the preaching location. Next, this matter will be entrusted to Minister Wen to handle. It’s crucial this is done well, as it involves the court’s dignity.

If there’s an issue somewhere, it won’t look good."

He handed the responsibility directly to Wen Qiu.

In the entire court, few could handle this matter well, and Wen Qiu was one of them.

Placing the preaching site on Dragon Head Mountain, since it was his suggestion, it was perfect for him to oversee.

Wen Qiu bowed and accepted the order: "I obey!"

——

Returning to the Demon-Subduing Division.

Shen Changqing immediately sought out Qingyi.

"If the Human Clan leaves Heaven and Earth, is there a method to block the Myriad Clans’ exploration?"

He got straight to the point.

Qingyi clearly paused for a moment, then fell into deep thought.

Seeing the other’s demeanor, Shen Changqing did not interrupt, allowing time for contemplation.

A long time passed.

Qingyi finally awakened from his reverie: "For any powerhouse to calculate, it’s impossible to do so out of thin air. It involves the concept of Karmic Laws; as long as one can block karmic Tianji, naturally they won’t be deduced by Myriad Clans powerhouses."

"Block karmic Tianji?"

Shen Changqing frowned.

The concept of karmic Tianji seems simple but is actually very complex.

Even with his level of Realm, he hadn’t comprehended karmic Tianji.

"Do you have a way to achieve it, senior?"

"Blocking karmic Tianji isn’t easily achieved. I remember the Imperial Court had a Divine Skill that conceals Tianji, but it’s extremely difficult to successfully cultivate. In the past Imperial Court, those who managed to cultivate it and understand karmic laws were few and far between.

After all, the karmic laws involve too many things, not everyone can comprehend them."

Qingyi said truthfully.

Concealing Tianji Divine Skill!

Shen Changqing’s eyes lit up: "Do you recall any related memories, senior?"

"I should have some. If you are interested, please allow me to ponder, and perhaps I might find it."

Qingyi slightly shook his head.

There were too many memories in his mind; finding the desired one was not an easy task.

Upon hearing this.

Shen Changqing did not rush: "No worries, senior, take your time."

After saying this.

He simply sat on a stone bench at the side, silently waiting for time to pass.

In front of him, Qingyi closed his eyes to meditate, searching through his vast memories for the possibly hidden karmic Divine Skills.

The courtyard was silent.

Neither spoke, only a crooked tree swayed gently in the wind, emitting a soft rustling sound.

Two days later.

Qingyi abruptly opened his eyes: "Got it!"

"Senior, you’ve found it!"

Shen Changqing was invigorated, his patient waiting over two days was not in vain; the other party finally located what he needed.

Qingyi smiled faintly: "Just as well, this Divine Skill is named Severing Cause and Effect, although merely First Grade level, its difficulty of cultivation is among the highest of all First Grade Divine Skills.

Likewise, if one can thoroughly cultivate this Divine Skill and understand its underlying laws, they can grasp karmic laws, and even karmic rules.

Compared to other laws like temporal dust, karmic laws are more mysterious and elusive. If mastered, one can sever their own cause and effect, conceal Tianji so others cannot deduce, and even manipulate others’ cause and effect, leading them to untimely death."

Karmic laws are strong!

But everything has two sides.

The stronger the laws, the harder they are to master.

Severing Cause and Effect, a First Grade Divine Skill, yet even during the Ancient Imperial Court era, among countless proud heavens, few truly succeeded in its cultivation.

Listening to the other’s words, Shen Changqing grew increasingly curious about this Divine Skill: "Please, senior, instruct me in this Divine Skill."

"A simple matter."

Qingyi directly pointed a finger, transmitting all memories regarding Severing Cause and Effect to him.

Instinctively.

Shen Changqing closed his eyes, absorbing that unfamiliar information.

Compared with other Divine Skills’ contained information, Severing Cause and Effect had much more profound and mysterious content.

After a moment.

He completely digested that information.

Immediately after, Shen Changqing checked his own panel.

In the Dharma section, a new and unfamiliar Divine Skill appeared.

Severing Cause and Effect (Entry-level, can be improved)

Seeing this, he smiled slightly.

Acquired it.

On the other side.

Seeing his demeanor, Qingyi couldn’t help but remind: "Karmic intricacies are extraordinary; if unable to master, there’s no need to force it. Don’t immerse yourself entirely in this to avoid losing sight of priorities.

There were many proud heavens in the past who wished to comprehend karmic Divine Skills, only to waste countless years without any results, failing in both Divine Skill and lowering their own cultivation."

He worried Shen Changqing might become entrenched.

No matter how exceptional his talent, Qingyi believed he might not necessarily succeed in cultivating Severing Cause and Effect.

However.

Karmic intricacies.

Once someone begins cultivation, it’s hard to stop, and if he gets truly caught up, then it’s a big trouble.

Facing the admonition, Shen Changqing smiled faintly: "Rest assured, senior, I understand my limits, if this Divine Skill proves too elusive, it will simply show I lack this fate, and I certainly won’t become obsessed."

"That’s good."

Upon hearing this, Qingyi’s heart slightly eased.

Afterward, he rose and departed.

In the courtyard, leaving only Shen Changqing seated there.

"I truly want to see what kind of mysteries the so-called karmic Divine Skill will hold if successfully cultivated!"
