A Matter of Karma, Venerable Hong Yun
On his journey to the Western Paradise, Daoist Hongyun recalled Zhen Yuanzi's repeated admonitions to him.
And the guidance from Fuxi!
When Fuxi initially warned Hongyun that the Primordial Violet Qi was not a good thing for him, Hong Yun was somewhat dismissive!
After all, his strength was not bad in this Primordial World, and he also had Zhen Yuanzi by his side.
He really wasn't intimidated by those people!
Afterwards, we witnessed the results of many events that were directly or indirectly related to Fuxi.
And then there was that warning from the unseen realm.
Hong Yun finally made up her mind and headed to Buzhou Mountain.
Go find Fuxi and ask him about the Primordial Violet Qi on his body!
The Primordial Violet Qi emanating from him, though alluring, is ultimately a poisonous honey!
The very fact that it provides the foundation for sainthood will attract the covetous eyes of countless people!
This Primordial Violet Qi has already merged with his original essence.
If you want to get it, you'll have to kill him!
Hong Yun is indeed known as a kind-hearted person in this Primordial World, but he's not a fool either!
With so many powerful figures surrounding him, there's no doubt that he could survive!
For all these reasons, Hong Yun went to pay his respects to Fuxi!
Someone who could foresee that the Primordial Violet Qi was a calamity so early on, and who was on equal footing with the Dao Ancestor.
Hong Yun should take this seriously!
And the outcome did not disappoint Hong Yun!
The method offered by Fuxi was indeed the most suitable for him!
This is why the Hong Yun headed Western Paradise!
When Hong Yun offered his seat in the Zixiao Palace, it was a significant event for the Two Sages of the West!
The concept of cause and effect was extremely important in the Primordial World.
If you incur that karmic debt, you will eventually have to repay it!
How much karma did these Two Sages of the West owe?
Just thinking about it is enough to shock you with that terrifying amount!
The karma of those Forty-Eight Great Vows alone is enough to make these two saints plan for a Tribulation!
The karmic debt owed to Hong Yun for the loss of his Sage position, though incomparable to the previous ones!
But this is something that the current Western Teachings, which is in dire need of rebuilding, cannot afford or repay!
The Western Paradise is truly impoverished!
This explains why, when Hong Yun was ambushed and killed by the Demon Race, the Two Sages of the West, despite their abilities, did not intervene to save her!
The karmic debt they owe Hong Yun is so great that even if the entire Western Paradise were to be bundled together, they couldn't repay it!
If Hong Yun were to die, all the cause and effect would vanish like smoke.
Therefore, the two of them do not need to repay this debt!
It's too early to say anything about these things now.
On Mount Sumeru, the Two Sages of the West, who had just become saints, were also having a headache dealing with a huge mess!
Zhunti's already pained face now looked as if he had stuffed ten pounds of bitter herbs into his mouth!
His face scrunched up in a frown, and he opened his mouth as if to speak, but didn't know where to begin!
Upon seeing this, the Jieyin sighed helplessly.
Perhaps this is the burden that comes with becoming a saint!
Having adjusted their mindset, the two were about to discuss how to revive the Western Paradise!
A voice came from outside Mount Sumeru.
"My name is Hong Yun, and I request an audience with the two Sages of the Western Teachings!"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the Daoist Jieyin and the Daoist Zhunti changed!
It must have been a truly unpleasant experience for the victim to come knocking on their door!
Moreover, the two of them had just made a decision to avoid this Daoist Hongyun.
I'm afraid he'll come looking for the karma that led to his Sage position!
Just as I was thinking this, Hong Yun showed up at my door!
After letting out a silent sigh, Jieyin and Zhunti left Mount Sumeru.
When cause and effect come knocking, there's no escaping it!
Outside Mount Sumeru, Hong Yun watched as countless Buddha Light rose, accompanied by boundless chanting of Brahma Sound.
Two figures emerged from the Buddha Light.
Upon seeing the two, Hong Yun bowed and praised them.
"Hong Yun greets the Saint Jieyin and the Saint Zhunti!"
Jieyin and Zhunti nodded, feeling somewhat uneasy.
"I wonder what brings Junior Brother Hong Yun here?"
Because they had both heard the Dao in the Zixiao Palace, the Saint Zhunti lowered himself and addressed him as a fellow disciple.
Upon hearing Zhunti's words, a strange look flashed in Daoist Hongyun's eyes.
The actions of the Saint Zhunti were exactly as described by the senior Fuxi!
This cause and effect was indeed important to the two of them!
If Jieyin and Zhunti knew what Hong Yun was thinking, they would be heartbroken!
After all, the karmic debt they owed was not something as trivial as having too many lice!
The best way to describe it is as the last straw that broke the camel's back!
Compared to the Sage position consequences of attaining sainthood, the karmic consequences of attaining sainthood are truly not that many!
But alas, the Western Teachings simply cannot repay its debts!
Jieyin was already pondering how he should respond if Hong Yun were to demand the karma of the Sage position.
Zhunti unease arose in Hong Yun's heart, not because he was after the karma of attaining Sage position!
Unfortunately, what you fear most is exactly what will happen!
Despite the gazes of the two saints, Daoist Hongyun spoke calmly.
"I have come here today because of the matter of the Zixiao Palace abdicating its throne that day..."
Upon hearing this, Jieyin and Zhunti immediately sensed something was wrong!
He had no interest in listening to anything Hong Yun said next!
The two of them had already taken stock of everything related to Western Teachings.
After much thought, I realized I had to stake on their two innate Magic Treasures to barely manage to pay off the debt!
Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged a glance, and their thoughts were in agreement.
Why don't we return it to Hong Yun first, and then try to put it back to its rightful owner?
Hong Yun, unaware that his life was already teetering on the edge of a cliff, quickly finished reciting the words that Fuxi had taught him.
Then, just as Fuxi had said, he asked the question with a clear conscience.
"So, what do you two Sages think about this matter of Western Venerable Fruit Position to restore the cause and effect of my Sage position?"
The two Sages simply thought it was very good, extremely good!
Perhaps this is the turning point from adversity to prosperity!
The conditions proposed by Hong Yun were practically free gifts in the eyes of the Two Sages of the West!
The two saints even felt a surge of emotion.
Everyone says that Hong Yun is a kind-hearted person in this Primordial World.
Now that I see it, it's true!
The Venerable Fruit Position has been granted!
Jieyin thought of something else.
The fact that Hong Yun joined the Western Teachings has also increased the Western Teachings's Fortune and strength!
This move kills multiple birds with one stone!
Western Teachings have made a fortune!
Just as the three reached a consensus, the will of Heavenly Dao descended from the shadows!
The karmic debt that Jieyin and Zhunti owed to Hong Yun was also erased at this moment!
Hong Yun, on the other hand, officially attained the Venerable Fruit Position in the Western Paradise.
Jieyin the midst of his overwhelming joy, he added.
"In our Western Teachings, Venerable Hong Yun is second only to the two of us!"
Zhunti then spoke.
"Absolutely! Absolutely!"
Hong Yun nodded in agreement.
The Primordial Violet Qi within him also shone with boundless brilliance, seizing a share of the Western Teachings's fortune!
Seeing this, Jieyin was not annoyed.
With this Primordial Violet Qi occupying its Fortune, his Western Teachings will be even more stable!
Just as Hong Yun and Jieyin and Zhunti reached a consensus.
Meanwhile Di Jun and Tai Yi, and the others over there also began their operation!
