Chapter 747: Reversal of Cause and Effect
Xue Mu looked at the light of the Dao and was pleased. He asked Tian to be a virtuous person, not a cold bamboo.
This time, the three Daoists surrounded Xu Jing, so it would not be so easy for him to hurt anyone else. People were much more at ease.
And since Wentian had taken the lead in agreeing to hand over the cauldron, things had become much easier.
Xue Mu simply asked aloud, “The Qiankun, Xushu, and Yin-Yang cauldrons have all agreed to return to the heavens. What do you think?”
The sound not only spread to this place, but also reached the hearts of the people in the distant places where the cauldrons were located.
Xue Qingqiu and Lin Wuyi, who had only half-achieved the Dao, had the power to make their voices heard throughout the world. Xue Mu, who had already merged with the Qiankun Ding, could certainly do the same.
Yun Qianhuang was the first to shout, “I agree!”
Of course he agreed. In fact, his cauldron had already been stolen…
Mo Xuexin smiled slightly: “I agree.”
Mu Jianli said lightly, “I agree.”
The echo of the Tianya Ding came from the distant sea: “The Tianyage agrees.”
Xue Mu was not surprised by the first three, but he was a bit surprised by the Hai Tian Ge’s quick response.
On second thought, it was understandable. The Hai Tian Ge was aware of its sins and was making amends. Besides, they knew that no matter if Xue Mu or Xu Jing won, the Hai Tian Ge, which was already crippled, would probably not be able to keep a tripod.
After the Hai Tian Ge had spoken, the air suddenly froze for a moment. Several people’s eyes were fixed on Yuan Zhong.
Yuan Zhong sighed helplessly: “At a time like this, if I say no, wouldn’t that be the same as killing them? Wuzhou Temple agrees.”
In the distance to the south, there was also a group of people watching the battle.
Seeing this, someone shouted, “The Natural School has made a mistake this time. We are willing to follow everyone’s wishes.”
With everyone agreeing, they would only become the enemy of the world if they were to be stubborn at this time.
Of course, the so-called agreement is not just a matter of words.
Everyone who agreed communicated with the ding of their own sect in their soul, and revoked the connection between their own sect and the ding.
They were no longer the ding of a school or sect, but rather the ding of no school or sect, belonging only to the heavens.
The nine beams of light shot up into the sky almost simultaneously.
The scene was very passionate for a moment, but Xujing, who had been silent throughout the siege, suddenly burst into laughter: “You really make me laugh to death, old Taoist priest. You agree with this and that, but what good does it do? Who knows how to unify? Are you making swords? Nine cauldrons cast together? Hahaha, you’re killing me…”
It was as if a crow had flown over, and Xue Mu’s head was covered with blue veins.
Yes, how can they be combined? It’s not like forging swords!
If the tripods were moved together, perhaps they could find a clue to becoming one by inspiring each other.
But if they are scattered around the world, how can they be combined if they cannot be moved together?
No one knows, even Xue Mu himself is the Qiankun Ding, and he has searched his soul for the knowledge that was spontaneously inscribed, but he still doesn’t know how to make the nine cauldrons one.
After all, the Qiankun Ding was automatically evolved by the laws of the universe, and it only had the laws of the universe, not the knowledge of how to reunite into one.
Just as Xue Mu was laughing in embarrassment, someone spoke in the middle of the battle.
“First, there is the transformation of the Dao, which is the cause. Then there are the nine cauldrons of the world, which are the result.” Amidst Xu Jing’s laughter, Yuan Zhong slowly said, ”However, my way of doing without blame is that cause and effect can be reversed.”
Xu Jing’s laughter stopped, and his face changed.
A huge swastika-shaped figure rose into the air, growing larger and larger, and spinning faster and faster. Xue Mu looked up and saw the swastika spinning rapidly, looking like a spiral propeller, covering the entire world.
Xujing could no longer maintain his previous smiling appearance, and roared furiously at Yuan Zhong.
Countless ribbons of light swirled around him, disrupting the space around him.
“Qin Wuye…” Xu Jing ground his teeth.
Qin Wuye smiled.
A drop in the ocean is a good stunt, and it works well in her martial arts.
Xu Jing was so tangled up by these people, and Qin Wuye also deserves a lot of credit. This woman is too cunning, only entangling and winding, only controlling the scene, only creating illusions, but never confronting, cunning as a ghost. If it weren’t for Qin Wuye, Xue Qingqiu wouldn’t have been able to keep him tangled up for so long at night.
Xue Qingqiu once again blocked the way, keeping Yuan Zhong outside the battle formation: “You specialize in this.”
Yuan Zhong simply left the battle circle and said slowly, “Since Lord Lu Ding is in possession of the Celestial Cauldron, he should be able to search the world for a trigger… an object formed when the Nine Cauldrons were divided by the Celestial Dao, an object with strong Celestial Dao energy and spirituality.”
Ye Gengyin immediately said, “I saw a painting of the Heavenly Dao in the Hall of the Sea and Sky. The painting was imbued with the spirit of the founder of the Hall of the Sea and Sky. You try.”
It was as if he were in the endless void, overlooking the world and the myriad beings.
At the various cauldrons, the Hantian Pavilion was in a state of flat sea, the Natural Gate was in a state of earthquake, the desert was in a state of sandstorm, the ice field was in a state of collapse, the Xuantian Sect was in a state of heavy rain, and outside the Qixuan Valley there was a mudslide impact… The world was in chaos, and the world was collapsing.
The Xujing people were stopped here, but the power of destruction had already affected the entire world.
Amidst all the chaos, there are a few points of light flashing in various places, which are the places where Yuan Zhong’s cause and effect guide.
Xue Mu’s spirit first landed on the mural in the Haitian Pavilion, but soon shook his head. This mural was not a good guide, because it was created after the Haitian Pavilion was built, and at that time, the nine cauldrons had already been divided, so it was not a direct cause and effect.
Then where else?
There are so many similar spiritual objects in the world, and there are many in the nearby Sword-Forging Valley, where many famous swords were born at that time… But it seems that the connection with the Nine Cauldrons is not too strong, so it can only be considered a second choice.
What else…
There are light points all over the place, like the stars in the sky, shining everywhere. It is really difficult to find the most accurate one.
At this moment, Xue Qingqiu’s voice came to his ears: “Look at home.”
Xue Mu’s heart stirred.
His spiritual consciousness focused on the Star Moon Gate, which was thousands of miles away.
There was a bright light, but he didn’t know what it was.
The consciousness drew closer and closer, passing through the gate, the main hall, and finally the ancestral hall.
A portrait appeared in his mind’s eye. A woman with a long sword on her back looked up at the moon, still with an indescribable smile on her lips, as if to say, “You’re here?”
The three treasures of the Xingyue Sect: the Star Soul, the Cloud Mist, the Radiant Moon Stone, and the portrait of the founder. The Xingyue Sect’s many secrets were passed down directly from the portraits, which contained the spirit of the founder and connected with future generations, directly conveying the enlightenment of the heavens. The Xingyue Sect produced many geniuses even without the cauldron, and this portrait was the most important treasure.
Xue Mu felt his soul separate from his body and take the form of a human figure. He reached out to touch the painting. As his soul touched the painting, Xue Mu looked up at the center of the swastika and seemed to be sucked into a vortex. His entire body twisted and was sucked out of the Qiankun Ding and into the sky.
The ground was left with a complete Qiankun Ding, and Xue Mu was gone.
The audience was stunned, even Xujing was stunned.
Yue Xiaochan angrily said, “Yuan Zhong, if you betray my uncle, I will never forgive you!”
Yuan Zhong scratched his head, not knowing how to respond to this sentence. To be honest, this situation was also unexpected for him.
He had never used his counter-causal move before, so he really didn’t know what it would be like.
But this is not what should have happened. The tripod is still here, but Xue Mu, who should have merged with the tripod, has disappeared.
Where did he go?
