Past Karma, Tai Yi's Challenge
Although he didn't know exactly what had happened, there was one thing that Di Jun and Tai Yi were very certain of.
Jiu Feng was able to break through because she received Cihang's help.
As an opponent, Di Jun and Tai Yi can be said to know the Witch Race the most.
If the bloodline of the Witch Race were so easy to break through, it wouldn't have taken until now.
Such a crucial breakthrough would definitely not happen outside.
Jiu Feng broke through at Mount Luojia, then there's only one possibility.
The demon race is willing to befriend Cihang because Cihang can provide assistance to the demon race.
Even if he doesn't join the demon race, his connection with Nuwa will still make him biased towards the demon race in some matters.
However, the truth is that Cihang had a much closer relationship with the Witch Race.
It actually helped Jiu Feng advance to the Ancestral Witch realm.
Although Di Jun and Tai Yi were wary of Nuwa, they cared more about the demon race.
Cihang's actions undoubtedly touched a raw nerve with the demon race.
They couldn't just quietly let it go either.
There's another point they shared with the Ancestral Witch.
That is, if Cihang can help Jiu Feng break through, then can other Great Witch do the same?
They absolutely cannot let this happen.
Upon receiving the news, Tai Yi transformed into a streak of light and headed straight for the South China Sea.
A scorching and domineering force shattered the tranquility of the South China Sea.
Immediately afterwards, a large sun was seen setting towards the South China Sea.
Under the scorching sun, the seawater was instantly evaporated.
At the same time, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was ignited, transforming into divine fire that fell down.
That great sun was the manifestation of Tai Yi, and those flames were the Solar Divine Fire.
Because he was filled with anger, he naturally wouldn't be polite in the slightest.
At the same time, he was also using this opportunity to establish his authority and intimidate Cihang.
Because of the protective array, Mount Luojia was unaffected.
But this caused great suffering to the nearby cultivators, who watched in horror as the great sun fell.
It wasn't that they didn't want to escape, but rather that they had nowhere to run under this overwhelming force.
Just when they thought they were about to perish, an ancient divine seal flew out from Mount Luojia.
In an instant, a magical barrier materialized, blocking the scorching Solar Divine Fire.
"Thank you, Domain Lord!"
"Thank you so much Domain Lord, for saving my life!"
Looking at the divine seal in the void, the cultivators bowed in gratitude, filled with the joy of surviving a calamity.
Cihang then appeared and, with a wave of her hand, used spiritual energy to help the cultivators up.
"What is Fellow Tai Yi trying to do? Why take your anger out on these ordinary cultivators!"
Cihang looked directly at Tai Yi, her usual smile gone.
Looking at Tai Yi, Cihang already understood his purpose.
"Our demon race has always treated you with great courtesy. You have helped our demon race so much, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
Fellow Daoist, you have rejected my demon race several times. Do you really intend to join the Witch Race?
Tai Yi withdrew his supernatural powers, his tone full of questioning.
"I have already made my position clear: I will not join either the Witch Race or the Demon Clan."
Now I only wish to guard this foundation in the South China Sea and quietly contemplate the Dao.
Although she disliked Tai Yi's domineering attitude, Cihang still offered an explanation.
However, he showed no fear.
"If that's the case, then what about Jiu Feng?"
She must have broken through with the help of fellow cultivators!
Upon hearing that Cihang had no intention of joining the Witch Race, Tai Yi's tone softened somewhat.
Facing a quasi-saint, Tai Yi couldn't help but be more cautious.
Although the demon race is powerful, it has not reached the point of ignoring everything.
"I did help Jiu Feng break through, but that was a personal Karma."
This whole affair actually started because of the demon race!
Cihang's words carried a hint of something inexplicable.
When Cihang chose to help Jiu Feng, she foresaw this day.
However, he was not in the wrong in this matter.
"What does this have to do with my demon race?"
Tai Yi looked surprised.
"Fellow Daoist was not the first to invite me to join the demon race."
Even when I was still a Xuanxian, a demon cultivator forcibly invited me.
After I refused, I was hunted down by the demon race.
Jiu Feng saved my life back then, so naturally I incurred Karma!
Helping her break through now is also a way of repaying the Karma.
Cihang summarized the Karma of the previous events in a few words.
Upon hearing Tai Yi's expression kept changing.
He knew how domineering the demon cultivators were, and he himself was no exception.
But I never expected that I would have such Karma with Cihang.
If it were just a minor cultivator, they naturally wouldn't care, but if Cihang, they couldn't ignore it.
"I'm sorry, I was unaware of this Karma."
This is indeed the fault of my demon race, and I will give you an explanation later!
Upon hearing this, Tai Yi lost all right to question it.
No one could have imagined that a mere cultivator would grow to this level.
"There's no need for an explanation; those demons from back then have already perished."
"As long as you don't hold it against me anymore, my South Sea can't withstand the wrath of the demon race!"
Although Cihang was unwilling to be enemies with the demon race, she was not one to simply swallow her anger.
"I apologize for my previous recklessness and will offer this spiritual treasure as atonement. I hope you, fellow Daoist, can forgive me for what I have done!"
Suppressing his displeasure, Tai Yi apologized to Cihang again.
Although still dissatisfied with Cihang's actions, they could not abuse their power to bully others.
Cihang was not one of those minor cultivators without powerful backers.
Leaving aside Fuxi Nuwa, Cihang has also made many quasi-saints during this period.
"Since it's all a misunderstanding, let's just let it go!"
Cihang did not dwell on the matter, nor did she refuse Tai Yi's spiritual treasure.
"Alright, then let's not bring this up again."
It's a rare opportunity for us to gather here today, so why not take this chance to discuss and exchange ideas?
Tai Yi was ultimately unwilling to give up, so he changed his approach to challenge Cihang.
Although we can't really do anything to Cihang, we should at least let him see the strength of the demon race.
"It is naturally an honor for Cihang to be able to exchange skills with fellow Daoists."
However, our battle would cause too much damage to the world. If you don't mind, how about we go to the Chaos Realm for a battle?"
Cihang seemed oblivious to Tai Yi's malice and readily accepted his invitation to discuss the Dao.
"Of course, then I'll take my leave!"
Tai Yi transformed into a rainbow of light and headed straight for Chaos.
Cihang followed closely behind.
Cihang was fully aware of Tai Yi's intentions.
Although he could refuse, refusing would leave people with the impression that he is weak and easily bullied.
Since that's the case, why not fight them?
Let him see the strength of the strongest person below the level of a saint.
As soon as they entered the chaos, Cihang summoned the Sea-Calming Divine Beads and launched an attack on Tai Yi.
"Fellow Daoist, there's no need for these probing methods. Just go all out!"
The Eastern Emperor Bell rang, easily blocking the attack of the Sea-Calming Pearl.
"Alright, then fellow Daoist, please test the power of my Sword Formation!"
With a wave of her hand, Cihang unleashed the Seven Sha Spirit Severing Sword, which transformed into endless swords brimming with malevolent energy, attacking Tai Yi.
Tai Yi then struck the Eastern Emperor Bell, transforming the surrounding chaos into his own power, and evolving countless Divine Abilities and Daoist Magic.
Sword energy and supernatural powers clashed continuously, stirring up storms in the chaos.
