Causality Backlash

"Six Heaven-Shaking Techniques!"

"His brushstrokes are astonishing!"

"The flames of alchemy spread like wildfire!"

"Thunder-Listening Talisman!"

A vast amount of Law Technique energy hovered in the sky. The disciples who had come to watch the battle stopped in their tracks, looked up at the sky, and were amazed to see the four elders displaying their Divine Ability and casting magnificent Law Technique.

"The elders have made their move!"

"These are the elders' techniques! They're amazing!"

"There's still a huge gap. Even when I sometimes reach the Integrated Body Peak Stage, I still can't unleash Law Technique of this level!" a Void Refinement Stage senior brother lamented.

Tao Yaoye observed intently, trying to memorize these moves.

These are all materials that can be directly used in Dream Bubble.

"No, it still needs to be modified when used in the Dream Bubble. We can't reveal the elders' trump cards to outsiders!" Tao Yaoye became wary.

Boom--

The four Law Techniques were condensed into one, and then smashed towards Qiu Jinan and Grandpa Ba.

Qiu Jin'an shattered the five-colored light wheel, allowing the five-colored divine light to break free from the wheel's form and envelop his head, withstanding the fierce bombardment.

"Hey, hey, hey, are you releasing this at Qiu Jin'an?!" Grandpa Ba was covered in dust and dirt from the blast, looking like he had just survived a tribulation of lightning.

"Second Senior Brother, I'm sorry, your moves were clumsy!" The Seventh Elder's tone carried a hint of apology.

Grandpa Ba flew into a rage. "You're talking nonsense! You're almost laughing out loud!"

The Seventh Elder ignored him and continued to unleash his Law Technique.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Qiu Jinan used the five-colored divine light to explode in the air and escaped in the chaos.

Seeing Qiu Jin'an successfully escape the battlefield and run towards her, River Spirit sighed with lingering satisfaction and retreated back into the river.

"That kid from the Five Elements Sect is good at everything, except he lacks that fighting spirit."

Seeing Qiu Jin'an escape, the Third Elder put his hands on his hips and threatened, "Old Qiu, next time you won't be so..."

He stopped mid-sentence, his mouth agape but no sound came out.

He turned his head and saw that it was indeed the Sixth Elder.

"Junior sister, could you please not come while I'm talking next time?"

The Sixth Elder was breathtakingly beautiful; no one dared to speak when she appeared.

Seeing the Sixth Elder's frosty expression, the Third Elder immediately fell silent.

She was awakened by the Third Elder's shout, just as she was becoming impatient.

The Sixth Elder transmitted his voice to his senior and junior brothers, his tone unfriendly. "Have you had enough? If you have, I'm going back to sleep."

She felt that her fellow disciples never had a moment's peace and quiet, and couldn't they learn from the Moon Laurel Palace and live a quiet life?

Qiu Jinan rushed to the Five Elements Sect and escaped from the Ask Dao Sect, but the backlash from the Single Curse Fist had not yet been resolved, and he needed to ask for help.

"I'll deal with the backlash after I've resolved it myself, then I'll help the Meng family brat."

Qiu Jin'an parted the clouds and mist, and a mountain range stretching across the north and south lay before him. This was the Five Spirit Vein, the very foundation of the Five Elements Sect.

Five different colors surround the mountain range, like stars guarding it.

A closer look reveals that it is not that the five-colored earth surrounds the mountain range, but rather that the five-colored earth presses against each other, and the protruding parts form the five-element Spirit Vein.

According to records, the Five-Colored Earth originated from five different High Antiquity planets. High Antiquity nameless person refined the stars, and the five stars with different attributes transformed into continents that collided together.

"Lu Yang, are you there? Please help me!" After the battle, Meng Jingzhou climbed Heaven Gate Peak overnight to seek Lu Yang's help.

"I'm here."

Lu Yang's voice rang out behind Meng Jingzhou. Lu Yang was holding a dozen skewers of grilled meat, enjoying them immensely, and had just returned to Heaven Gate Peak.

"What just happened? Why did Sect Master Qiu attack?" Lu Yang kindly shared half of the kebab with Meng Jingzhou.

They are all their own businesses.

Meng Jingzhou sighed, his tone tinged with resentment. "Sect Master Qiu sneaked up on me late at night and asked if I knew the Single Curse Fist. I said yes, and he took control of my body to try and punch Uncle Ba a couple of times."

Lu Yang recalled Grandpa Ba's twilight romance. A few days ago, when he went to the herb garden to eat dirt, Grandpa Ba asked him what girls liked most. The Immortal Fairy said that girls liked to be praised for being smart and beautiful, and he relayed her words verbatim.

"Sect Master Qiu succeeded?"

Meng Jingzhou looked constipated. "No, I've been hit by a backlash."

"Please accept my condolences."

Lu Yang remembered the Sixth Elder who arrived late. The Sixth Elder and Sect Master did not meet, which was probably due to the backlash.

Lu Yang patted Meng Jingzhou on the shoulder, hoping he would grieve in moderation and accept reality. So what if he severed all karmic ties with the woman and never saw her again? He already had a single Spirit Root; what was there to be afraid of?

Meng Jingzhou retorted angrily, "What are you talking about? So what if I'm single and Spirit Root? Even eunuchs can go to brothels, but I don't even have the right to go to a brothel anymore!"

"Didn't they say the backlash would disappear after a while?" Lu Yang asked curiously.

"The problem is that nobody knows exactly how long 'a period of time' is. Is my senior sister here? I can only ask her for help."

"Oh, Senior Sister went out on some business and has been gone for several days."

"Where did you go?"

Do I look like the kind of person who would dare to ask about my senior sister's schedule?

"That's true."

"Wait, could it be that my inability to meet with my senior sister is also part of the backlash?"

Lu Yang thought about it and realized it was quite possible. He then asked the Immortal Fairy if it was part of the backlash, since cause and effect are elusive and difficult to fathom.

The Immortal Fairy looked at Lu Yang as if he were a fool.

"I am right in front of that brat from the Meng family. Did you see me suffer a backlash? The Meng family brat's karmic backlash is not low-level, but to think it could affect me is just wishful thinking."

"Fairy, do you have a way to help Old Meng break free from the karmic backlash?"

The immortal fairy pondered for a moment and came up with a solution, "I am not familiar with cause and effect, but I still have a way."

"Please speak, fairy."

"The Meng family boy can use the Single Curse Fist to punch himself. Since the premise for the fist technique to be effective is that the Meng family boy can suppress his opponent, and now the opponent is himself, the effect of the Single Curse Fist will become chaotic, and thus it may break through the causal backlash!"

Lu Yang: "..."

"Fairy, are you sure Old Meng won't punch himself and make him single for life?"

"Oh dear, what method in this world is without risk? Everything carries risk."

Lu Yang felt he didn't need to reveal the fairy's method, lest he make things worse for Lao Meng.

"Our senior sister isn't here, how about we discuss this with the elders?" Lu Yang counted the people from the Ask Dao Sect. With the senior sister gone and the fairy unreliable, the most dependable people in the Ask Dao Sect were the elders.

They're both in their aging, shrewd Body Integration Realm, so there should be a way.

"Alright." Meng Jingzhou couldn't think of any other solution for the time being.

Lu Yang told Meng Jingzhou to wait at Heaven Gate Peak while he went to invite the elders over.

After the elders arrived, Meng Jingzhou misbehaved while practicing his internal energy. He cried out in pain and rolled around in agony before falling headfirst into a ravine, from which no one could find him.

"That shouldn't be the case. I told him to wait here. Where did Old Meng go?" Lu Yang was completely baffled. The elders had all kindly helped to look for Meng Jingzhou, but they hadn't found him.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Lu Yang turned his gaze to the Sixth Elder.

"Sixth Elder, could you please return?"

The Sixth Elder also realized the reason, his expression turned strange, he nodded and went back.

Once the Sixth Elder left, Meng Jingzhou was no longer in pain. He climbed up the mountain stream, his hair still covered in twigs, looking quite disheveled, which is how the others found him.

Lu Yang sighed inwardly. It seemed the karmic backlash was quite severe; Old Meng wouldn't be able to see any women for a while.
