Untouched by Karma, the Dao Insect Gnaws

Sheep Cart Earth Immortal raised his head and, in a daze, caught Fang Shu's smiling gaze.

Fang Shu remained silent, but raised his wine cup and gestured towards Sheep Cart Earth Immortal.

The Sheep Cart Earth Immortal suddenly snapped out of his daze and noticed Fang Shu's current cultivation level. He murmured, "So it was you."

Not only did he recover, but everyone else around also noticed the good fortune happening to them.

The banquet was immediately filled with laughter and cheerful conversation.

People kept standing up excitedly, babbling incoherently, some wanting to shout, others wanting to express their gratitude to Fang Shu.

Faced with this situation, Fang Shu simply raised his wine cup again and shouted, "Fellow Daoists, drink to victory!"

Upon hearing this, everyone around raised their wine cups and shouted, "Cheers!"

This enthusiastic scene lasted for three days and three nights atop Cloud Mountain.

When the celebration ended, because everyone was Immortal cultivator being, they were still full of energy and felt that the festivities were not yet over, and wanted to celebrate for several more days.

During this time, Fang Shu spoke with everyone, whether he knew them or not, one by one, adhering to the principle of "if you have the power, don't use it."

The principle of "expired and invalid" applies even to dogs that have shared hardships with the other party, which are then stuffed into the Spirit Beast Court of the Profound Teaching and given a Profound Teaching skin.

Of course, he also explained all the rules and regulations of his family's Cloud Mountain, and frankly stated that he would soon set off for overseas.

After he leaves, they'd better keep a low profile in the mountains.

Faced with these words, Deer Cart Earth Immortal and the others readily agreed and even took the initiative to swear an oath to Fang Shu to take good care of the property in Cloud Mountain.

However, Fang Shu also had some regrets during this time.

There were two other old acquaintances he was unable to meet.

One is Zong Qingxue, who is still in seclusion. Even though someone has sent a message to Zong Qingxue, she will not be able to come out of seclusion for the time being.

The other person was Xiao Lili.

According to what Fang Shu inquired about, after Xiao Lili arrived at the Profound Teaching, her fortune was not as good as Jiao Lulu's, but it was not as tragic as that of Deer Cart Earth Immortal and others.

This woman failed to Foundation Establishment within the Profound Teaching, and even failed once. Under such circumstances, in order to Foundation Establishment again, she risked her life many times and completed many dangerous tasks within the sect.

Several years ago, this woman suddenly disappeared from the sect, and it is unknown whether she perished outside.

Because of his past relationship with the woman, Fang Shu made a special effort to inquire about her whereabouts again after learning that she was missing.

Fortunately, according to calculations by members of the Profound Teaching, the woman did not perish. However, her exact whereabouts remain unknown.

Seeing this, Fang Shu could only sigh and temporarily put aside his search for the woman, hoping that she was indeed safe and well.

On the Cloud Mountain.

Watching the crowd gradually disperse, he thought to himself, "Now that this matter is settled, it's time to register my name among the Immortal Register and set off as soon as possible."

o

Without further hesitation, his External Incarnation leaped into the air, transforming into a streak of crimson-gold light that lingered in the sky before descending towards the Profound Altar of the Moral Profound Teaching.

Upon entering the Profound Altar, Fang Shu casually summoned someone and inquired about the location of the hall for those who had registered and joined the sect.

When he arrived, a familiar face appeared before him.

The person who came was not the Immortal cultivator in charge of the temple, but Elder Yushan himself, and it was not a divine illusion.

The Immortal cultivator strode in from outside the hall, calling out, "I'm being disrespectful! I'm being disrespectful!"

Upon seeing him, Fang Shu greeted him with a smile, "A mere matter of registering one's household registration has actually attracted Elder Yushan; this is truly troublesome."

Elder Yushan quickly waved his hand. "You are a True Disciple, and the initiation ceremony should be grand. Although you suggested it, how can we just casually make it like this?"

What this person said is correct.

When each True Disciple of the Profound Teaching is established, in addition to holding a celebration, they will often invite all those who come to witness the ceremony.

If it weren't for Fang Shu's strong insistence, and the fact that he also possessed Divine Immortal Decree, he probably wouldn't have been able to escape this fate.

Inside the ceremonial hall, Fang Shu smiled without saying a word, only gesturing for the other party to quickly begin the registration process.

Soon, under Elder Yushan's guidance, Fang Shu walked deeper into the hall. The further he went, the more solemn and dignified the atmosphere became.

As he stood still, hundreds and thousands of memorial tablets came into view, and behind curtains, even more tablets were hidden.

The names inscribed on these memorial tablets are those of the Immortal cultivator within the Moral Profound Teaching, their names varying in both explicit and implicit forms.

Elder Yushan first bowed to the memorial tablets in the hall. "Yushan, a junior disciple, have come to pay my respects today, having received the True Disciple of Fang Shu."

At the same time, he transmitted his voice to Fang Shu, instructing Fang Shu to follow along in the worship.

After a brief ritual, the other party took out True Disciple Fang and had Fang Shu personally inscribe his family name and Core Qi on it.

Fang Shu had anticipated this, and he executed the techniques one by one without any surprise.

After leaving the jade tablet, a series of elaborate rituals were performed, and the jade tablet, which contained his aura, was then enshrined in the hall.

Then, a wisp of smoke rose from inside the hall.

Elder Yushan burned a written petition on the spot, praying to Heaven so that it would be incorporated into the Profound Teaching's Fortune.

At this point, Profound Teaching vaguely realized that his family's Fortune was somehow connected to the Unseen of the Fang Shu.

This put his mind at ease, and he realized that the naturalization ceremony was simpler than he had imagined.

Just when Fang Shu thought the matter was about to end, Elder Yushan instructed him, "True Disciple Fang, this place is the place with the most abundant Fortune within the sect. From today onwards, you are a member of the Profound Teaching and should naturally take charge of the Fortune and protect the sect. This is a mutually beneficial matter."

Next, you will meditate here for a while, and when the sect's Fortune allows you to leave, you can depart at any time.

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Shu and looked around, and was immediately surprised to find that invisible Fortune were indeed filling this place.

Inside the main hall, the area was sealed off.

This sight immediately aroused his vigilance.

However, judging from Elder Yushan's appearance, the other party showed no surprise. He simply gave a few more instructions and then headed straight out of the hall.

This person passed directly through the Fortune without encountering the slightest hindrance.

Fang Shu suppressed his emotions and didn't ask any further questions, but he thought to himself, "Indeed, gaining entry into the Profound Teaching is not as simple as it seems."

He calmed himself down, preventing himself from making wild guesses, and instead followed the words of Elder Yushan to comprehend the so-called Profound Teaching Fortune.

According to Elder Yushan, this is a good thing.

Upon joining the sect, one receives the favor of the Profound Teaching's Fortune. Many doubts and even inner demons that Immortal cultivator usually have will become clear and easily resolved here due to the protection of their ancestors.

As expected, as soon as Fang Shu entered meditation, he found that a rich Fortune was bestowed upon him, similar to the Fortune he had received in Mount Lu back then.

In the past, many of his doubts about cultivating his External Incarnation were now easily resolved with a little thought, and numerous brilliant ideas emerged.

Just as Fang Shu was about to immerse himself in his contemplation, strands of silk suddenly appeared before his eyes.

Fang Shu suddenly opened his eyes, confirming that he wasn't seeing things.

Right before his eyes, these silk threads wove together and transformed into chains, binding him tightly.

This kind of situation was all too familiar to him.

Back then, he had seen such a chain of cause and effect on Mount Lu. Once one falls into it, from then on, he will be connected with the Mount Lu's Fortune, entangled in cause and effect, and will find it difficult to leave even within the territory of Mount Lu.

However, the Mount Lu consequences of Mount Lu back then still require him to make a grand vow before they will be fulfilled.

The current Profound Teaching Karma is hidden within the Profound Teaching's Fortune. It comes uninvited, like a tangible object, and actively tries to implant itself into his body.

Confirming that he wasn't seeing things, Fang Shu felt a cold sneer in his heart.

Fortunately, he was vigilant and only sent a clone; otherwise, he would have truly suffered this consequence.

"To be entangled with the Fortune of your religion is merely a matter of life and death, but to be bound by such karma is best left alone."

As soon as Fang Shu made up his mind, he immediately released his Core Qi towards these chains of cause and effect, attempting to transfer them to the talisman he had prepared in his hand.

Buzzing sounds, one after another, Gu worms flew out from his sleeves and attached themselves to his body.

If the talisman doesn't work, he'll try using Gu worms to cover it up.

However, it is quite obvious that the cause and effect of the Profound Teaching are not so easily fooled.

Neither his protective artifacts nor his Gu worms could dispel the chains of cause and effect. On the contrary, it seemed as if they had angered the other party, causing more chains of cause and effect to form around Fang Shu's body.

In that instant, if Fang Shu form were here, he would find that his Avatar was now like an insect caught in a spider's web.

"So be it, I'll just abandon this Avatar in the future." Seeing this, Fang Shu could only sigh softly, no longer resisting, letting these chains of cause and effect fall into his own External Incarnation.

A buzzing sound filled his heart, and an inexplicable feeling arose within him.

In a daze, Fang Shu saw a vast, gigantic net covering the universe, much like the Great Dao rules he had seen when he achieved his Golden Core.

But when he looked closely, he discovered that the vast net was faintly showing signs of damage, giving him a strange feeling that it was both powerful and struggling to hold on.

Before Fang Shu the net more closely and figure out how it differed from the rules of the Great Dao, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head.

His expression changed drastically.

All around, the Profound Teaching Karma had not only seeped into his Avatar, entangling his soul and spirit, but also...

Through some the Unseen connection, it swept towards another place.

That place was precisely where Fang Shu's true form resided!

Inside the Cloud Mountain.

Fang Shu's true form suddenly awoke with a start. He immediately activated the surrounding magic arrays and prepared to escape from Cloud Mountain.

Given this situation, even at the cost of abandoning his status True Disciple, he had to avoid disaster first.

As a result, after the magic array was raised, the chains of cause and effect that spread from the void fell on him instantly, as if they were nothing.

Only the Divine Treasure handkerchief covering his body stopped him.

Just as Divine Treasure Shu Fang Shu a sigh of relief, his heart tightened again as he saw the divine handkerchief tremble slightly, and the Core Qi he had channeled into it was rapidly consumed.

"Not good!" Fang Shu hurriedly tried to channel in more Core Qi and took out the Supreme-grade Spirit Stone he had prepared.

But he was ultimately just a cultivator who had achieved immortality through alchemy, and could not control this object at will.

Taking advantage of the moment when the handkerchief regained its breath, the causal chains slipped into it and adhered to Fang Shu's body.

Whoosh.

Countless insect shadows took flight, transforming into human forms and solidifying on the altar.

Fang Shu's transformation was clearly manifested from within the handkerchief.

He held the handkerchief in his hand, a bitter smile on his face.

At this moment, hissing sounds continued to echo around him.

His true form is constantly gathering and dispersing between reality and illusion; he is using his own Golden Core Divine Ability to resist the capture of the causal chains.

Although this approach yielded some success, he also realized that regardless of whether he became smaller or larger, more ethereal or more tangible, as long as he remained in this Outer World realm, he was unlikely to escape the chain of cause and effect.

The moment this thought arose, Fang Shu realized that this chain of cause and effect was not merely woven from the Fortune of the Profound Teaching, but was itself a manifestation of the Great Dao rules of this world.

The Unseen realization dawned on him: even if he didn't see this item within the Profound Teaching today, it would fall into his lap when he was fortunate enough to Refining Spirit in the future.

Fang Shu couldn't help but think of his conversation with the Goose Divine Immortal back then.

He thought to himself, "Could it be that the Profound Teaching Karma of this Immortal Law is closely related to the legendary Immortal Laws—"

As soon as this thought arose, Fang Shu felt a mix of emotions, but also a sense of relief.

If that's the case, then today's Profound Teaching Karma involving the Xuan Sect might serve as a lesson.

When he has the opportunity to Refining Spirit, he must remember today's lesson and never be overconfident that he can resist such methods.

Despite this, Fang Shu still did not give up the fight.

Even though his internal Core Qi was completely depleted, he still stared wide-eyed, trying to see clearly how the Profound Teaching Karma entered his body, so as to gain more experience for the future.

Finally, a series of clicking sounds rang out, and Fang Shu's figure froze completely, no longer able to disperse.

Chains of cause and effect shot straight into his mind, trying to hook his soul.

But at that moment...

An Edict Talisman appeared in his mind, firmly blocking this invincible chain of cause and effect.

Not only was it blocked, but the causal chain was also immobilized in his mind, rendering him unable to move for a time.

And this Edict Talisman was none other than the "Dao Register" that had been with him since childhood!

Buzzing.

Fang Shu was deeply shaken by the sight.

His movements were swift; he immediately grasped the Supreme-grade Spirit Stone in his hand, absorbed its Spiritual Qi, and squeezed out all the available Spiritual Qi, True Qi, and the few remaining Dragon Qi from his body, pouring them all into the Dao Register.

Its own consciousness also transformed, turning the Dao Register into Dao Insect, which actively tried to tear at the causal chain.

As a result, several of these objects, formed from the Fortune and the rules of heaven and earth, were actually gnawed apart by the Dao Insect.

This unexpected turn of events left Fang Shu completely astonished.

What surprised him even more was that the breaking of these causal chains immediately triggered a deep-seated "hunger" within him, as if devouring them would bring him considerable benefit.
