"Yuan Chonghuan is a part that has been extracted from the Essence of Artistic Conception in an attempt to materialize it. This is the cause.
If you wish to capture the Essence of Artistic Conception, Yuan Chonghuan cannot survive. This is the effect.
Before you encountered Yuan Chonghuan, the cause and effect had already been determined. It was sown..."
The spirit sighed. Based on the cause and effect, Yuan Chonghuan's death was inevitable.
Unfortunately, Lin Qiubai did not understand cause and effect!
"It's over..."
Yuan Chonghuan is truly dead...
Transformed into a light breeze, he slipped away from Lin Qiubai's fingertips.
The heavy feeling in his arms suddenly vanished, as if a piece of flesh had been carved out...
Lin Qiubai felt dazed, opening his mouth but unable to make a sound, left only to sit silently on the ground.
Various images flooded his mind like a montage, leaving him in a state of confusion.
"People die. Once they are gone, there is no time left for anything..."
Lin Qiubai murmured, suddenly feeling a surge of resentment within him. If traced back, he actually did not belong to this world at all.
His cultural awareness, thought processes, lifestyle, and emotional character were all incompatible with this world!
Like floating duckweed, rootless and dependent on nothing, he was lonely and helpless.
Because in this Heavenly underground, the Three Thousand Great Realms, and countless beings as numerous as the grains of sand in the Ganges River, have nothing to do with Lin Qiubai!
He is not of this world; he is a traveler against the heavens, a mere speck in the vast sea, inherently separated from this realm.
A heart with no place to rest, a soul with nowhere to find peace.
After the only reliable parents passed away.
Indifference and decisiveness in killing are the steel thorns that Lin Qiubai presents to the unfamiliar world.
Does anyone really think that Lin Qiubai cherishes becoming an unparalleled powerhouse?
Who would cherish standing at the pinnacle of the world, where a single thought can bring life or death, a single thought can lead to the world's destruction, and a single thought can dominate the lives and deaths of countless beings?!
Who cares? Whoever wants it can take it!
He would rather commit suicide and return to Earth, living a mundane life.
However, Lin Qiubai ultimately does not dare to gamble. Who can guarantee that after suicide, one can return to Earth?
He can only struggle to survive.
Unfortunately, surviving inevitably leads to varying degrees of interaction with the people and events of this world, entangling him in karma.
When they encounter danger or suffer from a Curse, Lin Qiubai wishes to remain uninvolved but cannot close his eyes and plug his ears.
He wants to turn the tide but feels powerless...
Yuan Chonghuan saved Lin Qiubai three times, yet Lin Qiubai could only watch helplessly as the wheel of karma crushed her.
Perished in Beauty.
This feeling is very bitter.
"I thought that with the Heavenly Path Payment System, I could rise above everything, commanding all to prosper and those who oppose me to perish.
I never expected that the people I care about would eventually leave this world.
Yuan Chonghuan's birth was a cause, and the result was already predetermined.
Meeting and interacting with me was just a process; no matter how complicated the process or how beautiful the story, it cannot change the outcome.
Is everything predetermined?
If I can disrupt Fortune, why can't I change cause and effect?!"
A flash of blood appeared in Lin Qiubai's eyes and quickly vanished.
Love and separation, resentment and hatred, unfulfilled desires—ultimately, there are only two words:
Unwilling!
Lin Qiubai closed his eyes. He did not believe in this theory that cause and effect were already predetermined; that Yuan Chonghuan's birth meant she must inevitably fall at this moment was merely a weak excuse.
"From now on, I, Lin Qiubai, refuse to let meaningless cause and effect take the lives of those around me!
No matter who planted the cause, I will uproot it completely. What fruit can come from it?! Who dares to speak of predetermined cause and effect in front of me?!"
A sense of hostility slowly spread across Lin Qiubai's brow, causing everyone to hold their breath, feeling an overwhelming pressure.
At this moment, the Sky also descended beams of light.
They enveloped the Experience holders, transforming into a force that penetrated space and removed the Experience holders from the secret realm.
Lin Qiubai put away the Mask, suppressing his painful thoughts, and was also expelled from the secret realm.
…………
Outside the secret realm, Fang Zongyun, Yun Ge Master, and several Elders were quietly waiting.
As they looked at the Secret Valley, where nearly half of the people were missing, they were left speechless.
The casualties were so severe that it was hard to accept...
However, in martial cultivation, life and death are part of fate.
The Sect's higher-ups were powerless to save anyone; they could only arrange various matters, return belongings, and comfort the families of the deceased. They must not let them suffer in despair.
Lin Qiubai heard none of this; he simply left the Secret Valley and wandered aimlessly within the Sect, his fingers tightly gripping the jade pendant, his mind in chaos.
Even the notifications from the Heavenly Path Payment System ringing in his ears went unheard.
He appeared lost and dejected, like a stray dog lamenting in a pile of garbage.
Upon learning that Lin Qiubai had come out of the secret realm, many from Creation Realm and Senior Brother Lin visited him. However, seeing Lin Qiubai sitting on the Stairs in front of the courtyard, seemingly dazed, they did not dare to approach and disturb him.
Two days later, Lin Qiubai finally came to terms with everything.
He collected his emotions, deeply concealed the jade pendant in his Storage Ring, and set off again.
Summoning the Three-Legged Crow, Lin Qiubai descended onto the Alchemy Cloud Peak.
The Cloud Pavilion Master resided at the highest point of the peak's palace. Surrounding him were not only a classical palace but also fields of medicinal herbs and ancient trees, with streams of spiritual energy cascading through the mountains like white snow.
White clouds drifted among the branches, resembling a fairyland.
Upon entering the palace, the Cloud Pavilion Master was sitting cross-legged, suppressing a curse. The dark aura between his brows grew increasingly dense.
Hearing Lin Qiubai's footsteps, the Cloud Pavilion Master opened his eyes and brewed two cups of rich spiritual tea. He handed one cup to Lin Qiubai and brought the other to his lips, sipping slowly while feigning calmness.
He dared not reveal the changes occurring in Beiliang Prefecture...
On one hand, there was an order from the Royal Family.
On the other hand, he feared that Lin Qiubai might become agitated upon hearing it and act irrationally.
After all, that was Lin Qiubai's homeland! If Lin Qiubai were to learn that the Royal Family was unwilling to send troops to confront the Evil Cultivator...
Given Lin Qiubai's temperament, he would surely be furious.
"Did you call for me for something?"
Lin Qiubai took out two Cursed Dark Flowers. Their leaves remained lush and green, while their cursed blossoms resembled ghostly faces.
"I obtained these two rare herbs during my travels; they can suppress curses. Pavilion Master, please refine and consume them first. In the future, I will find a way to concoct a fifth-grade elixir to dispel curses!"
Cursed Dark Flowers?!
In the desert, there were rare herbs guarded by death worms. Even in the three major auction houses of the imperial capital, not a single Cursed Dark Flower could be found.
It is evident that their numbers are rare, almost like a phoenix feather or a unicorn horn.
Yun Ge Master was astonished that Lin Qiubai had actually found two of them! The process must have been incredibly difficult.
Yun Ge Master felt quite moved.
Lin Qiubai is a young man who values emotions and loyalty. If you treat him with genuine kindness, he will return your goodwill tenfold.
This disciple, although born in the remote Northern Liang Province, possesses astonishing talent and an excellent character.
With his current progress in cultivation, he is likely to make a name for himself across the Xianyuan Continent!
“Soon, the nine major Saint Sect Disciples will gather at Mount Tai for the Ceremony of Fengshan.
Are you willing to attend the Ceremony of Fengshan and help my Yun Yin Sheng Zong seize a portion of Sect Fortune?”
Yun Ge Master asked.
“What does it mean to seize a portion of Sect Fortune?”
Lin Qiubai furrowed his brows, feeling puzzled.
Aside from the Heavenly Path Payment System, are there other means to seize Fortune?
