Elsewhere!
Jie Yin and the others traversed the void, already hundreds of millions of miles away from Duke of the East and his group.
Chen Ku glanced behind him, seeing no one following and sensing no aura.
"Heh, it seems that Duke of the East is nothing more than this."
"I thought they would be driven to desperate measures and forcibly attack us."
Chen Ku muttered to himself.
After all, Duke of the East and the others had been waiting at the edge of the Primordial World for a long time.
Who would have thought that it was just to say a few words?!
Hearing what Chen Ku said, Zhun Ti snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, even if the Celestial Court people come after us, what is there to fear?!"
"Old Toad Ancestor is a lesson for them."
"Moreover, Duke of the East was definitely not ignorant of today's events. I have already noted this debt."
Zhun Ti's words were full of sneering.
He not only had no fear of Duke of the East and the others.
On the contrary, Old Toad Ancestor's secret attack earlier made Zhun Ti secretly remember this grudge.
Hearing this, Chen Ku smiled knowingly.
It seems that his Martial Uncle is quite "petty."
Compared to Zhun Ti, Chen Ku seemed quite indifferent.
After all, the three lectures at Purple Cloud Palace had already ended.
Presumably, the day of Duke of the East's demise is not far away.
What is there to argue about with someone who is destined to fall?
Jie Yin, on the other hand, also glanced in the direction where Duke of the East and the others were.
"Right now, we don't need to consider anything else."
"With this Primordial Purple Qi in hand, our sanctification in the future is assured."
"When that time comes, the so-called Celestial Court will be insignificant to us."
Jie Yin said proudly and triumphantly, his eyes shining brightly.
Even the sorrowful look that had been lingering between his brows seemed to have faded a little at this moment.
Hearing this, Zhun Ti, who was beside him, also smiled and echoed:
"That's right!"
"Although we are disciples of Dao Ancestor in name, we still have the affection of master and disciple."
"Dao Ancestor Master, treats us well."
Needless to say, it could be heard that Jie Yin and Zhun Ti were full of gratitude for Dao Ancestor Hongjun bestowing the Primordial Purple Qi.
But hearing these words, Chen Ku pondered for a moment and said:
"Master, Martial Uncle, we can't be too happy too soon!"
"Dao Ancestor said earlier that the two strands of Primordial Purple Qi would settle the karma of the ancient Dao-Demon conflict."
"In this way, the karma of the Western Sect will also fall on our heads."
"Revitalizing the Western Sect's fortune, purifying the resentment left behind, repairing the broken spiritual pulse..."
"All of this needs to be done by us."
As the saying goes, those involved are often confused, while onlookers are clear!
What Jie Yin and Zhun Ti cared about was the Primordial Purple Qi they had obtained, or rather, the opportunity to attain enlightenment and become saints in the future.
But Chen Ku was more concerned about what Dao Ancestor Hongjun said when he bestowed the Primordial Purple Qi.
Karma!
It should be known that for the cultivators of the Primordial World, karma was perhaps the power that all living beings were most unwilling to be involved with.
What's more, as Dao Ancestor Hongjun said, the two strands of Primordial Purple Qi settled the karmic debt of an ancient calamity of the world.
This was obviously not a good thing.
As soon as these words came out, Jie Yin and Zhun Ti were stunned.
The two couldn't help but reveal a look of contemplation.
And the more they thought about it, the more unsightly and uncomfortable their expressions became.
"This... what my disciple says makes sense!"
"Earlier, we were only concerned with the joy of obtaining the Primordial Purple Qi, but we forgot about these karmic debts."
"So Dao Ancestor Master bestowed Primordial Purple Qi, and there was such a thought behind it?!"
The two of them suddenly woke up, no longer with the smug look they had before.
Rejuvenating the Western Sect, how easy is that?!
Or rather, if it were that easy, then Jie Yin and Zhun Ti wouldn't have waited until now.
It can be said that the temptation to attain enlightenment and become a saint is astonishing.
But the karma that the two of them need to bear is also enormous.
Moreover, thinking about it from another perspective.
Now that Hongjun already has the cultivation of a saint, why doesn't he directly take action to rejuvenate the Western Sect? Instead, he wants to transfer the karma to Jie Yin and Zhun Ti?
This is enough to show that even for a saint, this matter is not so easy.
We're screwed!
If Chen Ku hadn't awakened them with a single sentence, they would probably still be immersed in the expectation of becoming saints, without realizing this huge karma.
However, unfortunately, this matter has become a foregone conclusion and cannot be changed.
After a long while, Jie Yin opened his mouth with a heavy tone:
"Alas, it is useless to think too much!"
"We can only take it one step at a time, hoping to resolve this monstrous karma as soon as possible, so that our Western Sect can be restored to its original state."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhun Ti didn't react.
He knew that these words were just a kind of self-comfort.
And looking at the somewhat gloomy expressions of Jie Yin and Zhun Ti, Chen Ku smiled faintly instead.
"Hehe, Master, Uncle-Master, there is no need to worry too much."
"There is always a way, let's return to the Western Sect first."
"Although I have entered the Master's sect, I have not yet seen what the Western Sect's world is like."
Chen Ku said.
He was only born at the junction of the East and the West.
Afterwards, he became Jie Yin's disciple, and traveled the world with Jie Yin and Zhun Ti.
Therefore, it can be said that until now, he has not truly witnessed everything in the Western Sect's world.
However, according to Chen Ku's thoughts, the Primordial World is supreme, and all kinds of laws and orders are the most perfect existence in all the heavens and myriad worlds.
Although the Western Sect is barren, it shouldn't be too outrageous, right?
That's why he seemed so "carefree", as if he didn't know what sorrow was.
Hearing Chen Ku's words, Jie Yin and Zhun Ti also nodded.
Without saying anything more, the three of them immediately set off again, increasing their speed to the extreme, and heading towards the Western Sect's world.
However, as they got closer and closer to the West, Chen Ku's heart couldn't help but gradually sink!
During the journey, the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth visibly decayed, becoming extremely thin.
What came into view was only a desolate and barren scene.
It was bald, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that not a single blade of grass grew!
Upon closer inspection, one could vaguely see the towering ancient trees of the past, but now they were devoid of life, with only lifeless dead trees lying across the earth!
Moreover, unlike the hustle and bustle and prosperity of the Eastern world.
Within a full ten thousand miles, Chen Ku didn't see a single living being.
How could such a scene be expressed by a single word like bleak or solemn?!
However, although there were no living beings, there were quite a few wronged souls in this place.
Whoosh...
Whoosh...
Standing in the void, a gust of sorrowful wind rustled in his ears, howling incessantly.
And within this vast sound of wind, there were faintly mixed traces of extremely resentful, almost mournful cries.
Ominous!
Weird!
If it were a creature with a slightly lower cultivation base here, their scalps would have gone numb and their hair would have stood on end long ago.
"Are these the wronged souls transformed from the creatures of the West who fell with hatred in the past, their resentment not dissipating, wandering around?"
Chen Ku's face suddenly collapsed.
The great war of the three races and the struggle between Dao and demons caused the Western creatures to lose nine out of ten, falling in the calamity.
Moreover, it should be known that in today's world, the Underworld has not yet been established, and the Great Dao of Reincarnation has not yet emerged.
Thus, these wronged souls... no, or rather, strands of lingering Yin spirits, permeated the Western Sect's world, further dissipating the boundless spiritual energy, rendering this place almost a forbidden wasteland where even birds wouldn't bother to shit.
Chen Ku was somewhat dumbfounded.
It seemed he had been too naive and optimistic earlier.
"Tsk... bitter, bitter!"
"I only heard that the Western Sect was barren and desolate!"
"I didn't expect... it to be in such a state."
Chen Ku couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
This time, the bitterness was truly heartfelt.
