How Did He Withstand the Karmic Backlash? Everyone Was Dumbfounded

Upon seeing Yue Ji appear, everyone immediately bowed and paid their respects.

"I've met Taiyin."

"Greetings, Senior Taiyin."

Hearing the sound, Yue Ji snapped out of her reverie, withdrew her gaze from the void beyond the boundary, and temporarily set aside her speculations about who had set up the formation.

Since this formation protects the Azure Billows Realm and is entirely beneficial to our side, there is no need to investigate it further.

She raised her hand in return, saying, "Greetings, fellow Daoists."

The impatient Immortal King Zhanhan immediately stepped forward and asked, "Taiyin, you just said that Dao Ancestor Liu Yi is not the reincarnation of that senior. Is this true?"

Facing the curious gazes of the crowd, Yue Ji chuckled and said, "I can confirm it, because Liu Yi is that senior."

The words fell silent.

Everyone was stunned; the conclusion was so absurd it was unacceptable.

The Immortal King Zhanhan immediately retorted, "Impossible! Absolutely not!"

Liu Yi is a contemporary, while that predecessor lived in High Antiquity times. How could they be the same person?

Upon hearing this, the Immortal King Suming was greatly shaken.

He had previously guessed that the person who suppressed the demons in High Antiquity was Liu Yi himself, but if a cultivator reverses time and goes back to High Antiquity to interfere with the past, he will inevitably suffer a huge karmic backlash.

With Liu Yi's cultivation at the Martial Lord Realm, it was impossible for him to withstand the karmic backlash, so he kept this conjecture to himself.

Having cultivated the Great Dao of Suming of Destiny, he possessed a profound understanding of cause and effect, and knew all too well the terrifying backlash that would result from interfering with the past, a backlash that even Immortal Emperor might not be able to withstand.

Unable to contain his doubts, he asked, "I had previously guessed that Liu Yi had personally returned to the High Antiquity."

Interfering with the past would cause a backlash of cause and effect that lasts for eternity, which even Immortal Emperor might not be able to withstand. It is absolutely impossible for Martial Lord to survive such a backlash, so I rejected the conjecture.

If that senior was indeed Liu Yi himself, how exactly did he manage to do it?

Yue Ji gently shook her head. "I have no way of knowing the specific methods, but that senior is indeed Liu Yi himself. I have already personally verified this with him, and it is absolutely true."

Upon learning that Liu Yi had personally confirmed it, the Immortal King Suming was filled with disbelief and muttered to himself:

"This is completely illogical... How did Liu Yi manage to do that?"

The karmic backlash is something even Immortal Emperor Lord cannot withstand; even an Immortal Martial Lord might not be able to resist it.

The Immortal King Zhanhan had no time to delve into the mysteries of the matter. Now, confirming that the benefactor who had saved him years ago was indeed Liu Yi, he immediately beamed with joy and exclaimed loudly:

"So the senior who saved me was really Dao Ancestor Liu Yi! That's wonderful, I must thank him in person another day."

Turning his head, he saw that the Immortal King Suming was still deep in thought and looked bewildered, so he offered some advice:

"Don't bother trying to figure it out. How could we possibly fathom the actions of a master?"

If you could understand all the intricacies involved, you wouldn't just be at the Immortal King Realm.

The Immortal King Suming shook his head and smiled bitterly, "You're right, Liu Yi is an unparalleled master, and his methods are indeed beyond my comprehension."

"Deeply investigating this will only cause more trouble. Perhaps when my cultivation advances further, I will be qualified to glimpse its mysteries."

Haha, it's great that you can think positively about it.

"You cunning people always overthink things. Instead of wasting your energy pondering these matters, you should focus on your cultivation." The Immortal King Zhanhan laughed loudly.

Xie Tong, hidden in the crowd, was equally bewildered.

He specializes in the Great Dao of Heavenly Secrets and has a very deep understanding of the dangers of karmic backlash.

Even Immortal Venerable would never dare to interfere with the affairs of the past. If they were to alter history, they would suffer severe injuries at best, and die or be completely destroyed at worst.

Aside from the Supreme Ruler, anyone who interferes with past timelines will generally suffer severe karmic repercussions.

He gently waved the white feather fan in his hand, inwardly filled with doubt and unease.

How exactly did Liu Yi manage to do that?

Even when I was at the Peak Immortal Venerable Realm in my previous life, I didn't dare to interfere with the past. This person's methods are simply too heaven-defying.

No wonder he was highly valued by his master.

At this moment, a conjecture suddenly surfaced in my mind:

Could it be that Liu Yi will one day attain the Ruler, reversing cause and effect, turning the result into cause, and transferring the karmic backlash onto himself who has already become Ruler, thereby easily resolving the backlash?

This is not impossible.

With his unparalleled talent and comprehension, the probability of him breaking through to the Ruler level is extremely high.

Thinking about this, Xie Tong felt a mix of emotions.

He has cultivated diligently for countless ages but has yet to break through to the Ruler.

Only by undergoing a complete rebirth and switching to the Dao Seed Martial Dao System could he barely glimpse a glimmer of hope for a breakthrough.

Comparing the two, it's truly infuriating how people compare themselves to each other.

Bai Qianqian had a vague feeling that Liu Yi was not a reincarnation of a powerful being.

Upon learning that it was he who personally returned to the High Antiquity, suppressed the demons, and saved the Azure Billows Realm, he was deeply shocked.

She has reached the peak of the Martial King Realm and can break through to the Martial Lord at any time. She has a deep understanding of time, space, and causality.

Knowing full well the terrifying karmic consequences of arbitrarily interfering with the past, he immediately inquired via Microchat with great concern:

"Big brother, you went back in time to suppress the demon in High Antiquity times, which is considered interfering with the past. This will inevitably bring about a karmic backlash. Are you alright now?"

Liu Yi quickly responded in Microchat: "I'm fine, you don't need to worry."

The forces attacking now are merely Devil Race forces lurking in the Mysterious Firmament Realm, not the main force of the Myriad Devils Realm.

You can use this battle to hone your skills and strive to break through to the Martial Lord as soon as possible, preparing for even greater crises in the future.

"Yes, I will break through to the Martial Lord Realm as soon as possible!" Bai Qianqian replied earnestly.

Liu Qian, standing to the side, was not at peace with himself, secretly marveling:

"Our ancestor was actually able to travel through time and space back to High Antiquity to save the Azure Billows Realm. He's incredibly powerful!"

Now that I cultivate the Great Dao of Cause and Effect, I dare not interfere with the past, for doing so would surely mean certain death. I truly cannot understand how the Ancestor managed to withstand the backlash of cause and effect.

At this thought, a fervent expectation arose in his eyes:

"If my cultivation level becomes high enough in the future, will I be able to interfere with the past like my ancestor?"

The assembled Immortal King, all well-versed in the arts, were horrified and whispered amongst themselves.

"So, the great calamity of High Antiquity times was caused by Dao Ancestor Liu Yi reversing time, returning to the High Antiquity, quelling the demonic chaos, and saving the entire Azure Billows Realm. How exactly did he do it?"

"This is outrageous! For someone from the present world to interfere in the past and not only escape the karmic backlash and be wiped out, but is still alive and well, is truly unbelievable."

"Dao Ancestor Liu Yi is currently only at the Martial Lord Realm, but he temporarily rose to the Immortal Emperor through external forces. He was able to suppress a Demon Emperor, which is ridiculously powerful."

"As expected of the number one genius and strongest in the Azure Billows Realm, his talent, comprehension, and combat prowess are unparalleled in the world, unmatched by anyone."

"With the Devil Race launching a massive attack, Dao Ancestor Liu Yi has yet to appear. Could it be that he has suffered a karmic backlash, sustaining serious injuries and is unable to show himself?"

"It's not impossible. If Dao Ancestor Liu Yi can personally oversee things, even if the Devil Race has Demon Emperor, we don't need to be afraid."

The Dragon King, Phoenix King, Demon King, and other alien Immortal King learned the truth: Liu Yi had traveled through time and space back to High Antiquity.

After suppressing the Demon Emperor Blood God and quelling the Devil Race invasion, he was filled with awe and lingering fear.

Fortunately, I didn't rashly engage in warfare with the Human Race back then, otherwise I would probably be dead and my soul would have been destroyed by now.
