Cause and Effect

Kunlun Mountains

"Senior Uncle Guang Chengzi, Senior Uncle Chi Jingzi, Senior Uncle Ci Hang, Senior Uncle Manjushri, the Saint has summoned you!"

White cranes spread their wings and patrolled the myriad mountains. Four streaks of spiritual light shot up into the sky, appearing before the Jade Void Palace in an instant.

"Senior Brother, why has Master summoned us?"

Chi Jingzi walked over quickly and asked, only to see Guang Chengzi shake his head as well:

"I don't know."

"We'll know when we see Master. Two Senior Brothers, Junior Brother Manjushri, please."

Ci Hang smiled slightly, and the four of them stepped into the main hall.

"We pay our respects to Master. May Master's life be as boundless as the heavens."

"Rise."

Primordial Heavenly Venerate spoke, and Guang Chengzi and the other three stood up involuntarily.

"Master, do you have something to instruct us on by summoning us?"

As the head of the Twelve Golden Immortals and a prominent figure in the Heavenly Origin Sect, Guang Chengzi naturally spoke first.

"Don't rush, look!"

Primordial Heavenly Venerate pointed into the void. A clear spring emerged from the emptiness, slowly transforming into a bright mirror. Within the mirror was Chaoge City, where Di Xin was carving the character "人" (Ren, meaning human) for Mo Xuan.

"My connection with Yin Jiao is broken?"

Guang Chengzi frowned, his fingers constantly moving as he calculated. His expression grew increasingly grim:

"Di Xin! Well done, Di Xin! He's so decisive. In that case, I truly cannot take him as a disciple."

Yin Jiao was currently the Crown Prince of Yin Shang, not the "dying person" he would later save. With the current destiny of Yin Shang that Yin Jiao possessed, if he were to take him as a disciple again, he would inevitably be entangled in the karma of the Yin Shang side.

This did not align with the Heavenly Origin Sect's plans. Furthermore, with the imminent tribulation of severing three corpses, he did not wish to incur any more karma.

If all else fails, that little child beside him also seems to possess "destiny."

"What exactly does this Di Xin want to do?"

After Mo Xuan opened his eyes, Chi Jingzi's face flushed with anger:

"Carving the destiny of the Human Race into another's soul, connecting him to the entire destiny of the Human Race. This is a heretical path! A heretical path!"

"Master!"

"Restore order, go, go."

Primordial Heavenly Venerate waved his hand. The water mirror instantly enveloped the four of them, traversing endless space. They appeared above Mo Xuan's residence in Chaoge City!

"If he manages to carve the destiny of the Human Race onto all the children, then once we accept them, we will be binding our own destiny to Yin Shang."

Manjushri opened his mouth and blew a gentle breath. A strong wind rose from nowhere, sweeping up four little children and preparing to fly away.

"Chaoge? Human King, Cheng Tang's reign is nearing its end. This is the will of the Saints according to the heavens. You cannot rebel."

Chi Jingzi snorted coldly. A mere Human King dared to set a trap for them. If it weren't for the backlash of destiny he would suffer from killing him, how could he let him live until tomorrow?

"Since that is the case, then I, the lonely one, must try."

Di Xin waved his hand. The Black Bird tilted its head back and swallowed the Kongtong Seal. Its entire body suddenly shrunk, finally transforming into a mark that landed above Di Xin's head.

"Which immortal will come first?"

"Shameless!"

Chi Jingzi's eyes blazed with fury. This scoundrel was certain they wouldn't dare kill him, wasn't he?

"It seems it will be Immortal Chi Jingzi. Then Di Xin will presume to ask for guidance."

Di Xin spread his right hand, and a wisp of flame slowly rose, illuminating the surroundings. It was gentle yet scorching.

"This is the Fire of Humanity. Its lethality is not strong. It's just a sparring match, but it should be enough."

"Water-Fire Bell, appear!"
