Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 2160: The Way of Karma

The Samsaric Immortal Exalt looked at Jian Chen silently. His ancient gaze that was as profound as the vast universe gradually sharpened.

In the eyes of the Samsaric Immortal Exalt, it was basically impossible for Jian Chen to reach the peak. He believed that it would be impossible for Jian Chen to become someone that a Grand Exalt would take seriously, as he cultivated the Chaotic Body. However, Jian Chen was still the successor of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens after all. No matter how great his future accomplishments would be and no matter how far he would be able to travel, he still belonged to the Immortals’ World.

The Immortals’ World happened to oppose the Saints’ World. Under such a tense situation, he had become so close to the people of the Saints’ World. This displeased the Samsaric Immortal Exalt greatly.

“Whatever, whatever!” A while later, the Samsaric Immortal Exalt sighed gently. The sharpness in his gaze gradually vanished, and his eyes became profound once again. He said, “I’ll spare these people seeing how you’re the only successor of that old guy.”

As he said that, the Samsaric Immortal Exalt’s hand loosened slightly, and the threads of karma from Shangguan Mu’er, Ming Dong, Shui Yunlan, Audriana, Rui Di, and Zhi Ye immediately broke free from his grasp, returning to them.

“Out of the kids you want to protect, three of them have quite significant origins. They’re closely related to Grand Exalts of the Saints’ World. If I were to play around with their karma, those people would definitely notice, so even if you didn’t mention it, I wouldn’t touch three of these people,” said the Samsaric Immortal Exalt. Every single person had different backgrounds and came in contact with different people, so their threads of karma would be different. Through the threads of karma, he had discovered that Audriana, Shui Yunlan, and Ming Dong actually had karma with the Grand Exalts of the Saints’ World.

This prevented him from touching them recklessly.

Jian Chen immediately became relieved when he heard that the Samsaric Immortal Exalt would not touch Shangguan Mu’er and so on. He looked at the threads of karma in the Samsaric Immortal Exalt’s hand and gradually revealed doubt.

He could clearly ‘see’ that there were over a thousand threads of karma that differed from each other in the Samsaric Immortal Exalt’s hand. Over a hundred of them came from the supreme Godkings nearby, while the rest seemed to have passed through space, reaching over here from somewhere unknown.

A fire-red thread that was clearly much thicker than the rest raised Jian Chen’s attention. Jian Chen seemed to sense the presence of the gigantic lizard from it.

This allowed him to immediately confirm that the thread of karma came from the lizard.

At this moment, Jian Chen’s eyes suddenly narrowed. He discovered in great surprise that the thread of karma from the lizard had suddenly splayed out into many thin threads. The end of each thread was connected to a supreme Godking there, and there was actually a thread that was connected to Jian Chen.

Jian Chen’s eyes narrowed, and he glanced around. He discovered that the only people who did not have the lizard’s thread of karma was Shangguan Mu’er, Ming Dong, Shui Yunlan, Audriana, Rui Di, and Zhi Ye.

They had never had any contact with the lizard from the lava.

“Karma, karma…” Jian Chen sank into his thoughts when he realised this. He seemed to have comprehended something, gaining a rough understanding of the Way of Karma.

“I never would have thought that you can actually see the threads of karma,” the Samsaric Immortal Exalt’s voice rang out. He looked at Jian Chen with quite some surprise and said, “You can see the threads of karma means that you’ve grasped the Way of Karma.”

The Samsaric Immortal Exalt retracted his gaze, and he looked at the threads of karma in his control. He said in thought, “Everything in the world is bound by karma, ranging from newly-born infants to Grand Exalts who stand at the apex of the world. No one can break free from karma. The communication and contact of people will lead to karma and the creation of threads of karma. They represent the ties you’ve formed with these people. The contact between immortals, maybe in kindness or maybe in grievance, will also lead to karma and the formation of threads of karma.”

“Just like the red thread you’re looking at right now. It comes from the natural spirit that was born from the endless fire-attributed energy on the eighth floor of the Neptunean Divine Palace. You lot have come into contact with this natural spirit and have fought it, so a thread of karma has been formed between you and the natural spirit. However, the people you want to protect clearly have never come in contact or conflict with the natural spirit at all, so their relationship is a clean slate. Naturally, there are no threads of karma…”

The Samsaric Immortal Exalt said slowly, explaining many secrets about the Way of Karma, allowing Jian Chen to deepen his understanding.

“Senior Samsaric, do you plan on using the threads of karma from these supreme Godkings to find the people behind them?” Jian Chen asked. As his understanding of karma gradually deepened, he seemed to understand the Samsaric Immortal Exalt’s intentions.

The Samsaric Immortal Exalt nodded, “That’s right. Since these kids are supreme Godkings, their backgrounds are definitely significant. Through these threads of karma, I can easily find people that they have karma with. If they have close ties with some Chaotic Primes or even Grand Primes, I can even find these experts through the threads of karma.”

“With my mastery of the Way of Karma and the vitality and bloodlines of these people, I can surpass both space and time to plant a demonic seed in all the people they have karma with. As long as I don’t touch those Grand Primes that are far too outstanding, no one will be able to sense it.”

Jian Chen was shocked. That way, the Samsaric Immortal Exalt could use these supreme Godkings to deal with over a hundred major organisations simultaneously and plant demonic seeds in the hearts of countless people. Even some regular Grand Primes would not be able to avoid this. It was just too terrifying.

Although he had no idea what would happen once someone had a demonic seed planted within them, he knew that it could not be good without even thinking.

“Unfortunately, many people were killed by the natural spirit on the eighth floor, so there’s only around a hundred of them left, which is all the people here. As for the people scattered elsewhere, not a lot of them have ties with experts, so they’re not particularly useful,” continued the Samsaric Immortal Exalt. He was filled with pity.

“Senior Samsaric, why must you do this?” Jian Chen asked.

“For the Immortals’ World,” the Samsaric Immortal Exalt replied sternly. Afterwards, with a thought of his, all the vitality that had been drained from the Godkings appeared in the air. Over a hundred of them formed transparent little balls of light. They hovered above each supreme Godking as they gradually approached their threads of karma.

The Samsaric Immortal Exalt had begun to take action. He attempted to use the threads of karma to find the people behind these supreme Godkings and plant a demonic seed in the hearts of everything they had established karma with.

“Senior, Samsaric, you’re a Grand Exalt of the Immortals’ World after all, an existence that stands at the apex of a world. Yet, you’re actually moving against these juniors today. Isn’t that just degrading…”

At this moment, a woman’s voice boomed out. It was extremely pleasant, just like the sounds of nature. There was a condescending sense of coldness in the voice.

As the woman’s voice rang out, the entire Neptunean Divine Palace shook violently. The power of samsara that permeated every inch of the place churned violently.
