High Martial Arts Era

Chapter 730 The Karma of Supreme Chijun

The bounty of 3000 billion cubic Eternal Crystals stirred up the entire Immortal World, with countless Quasi-Saints and Emperors searching for members of the Chaos Palace and Li Yuan's whereabouts.

even.

Because the last place Li Yuan's true form appeared was in the Divine Wheel Sea... this led to a large number of peak Emperor Realm and Sovereign Realm experts coming to the Divine Wheel Sea area to sense and investigate within a very short period of time.

Unfortunately, they were suppressed by an invisible force and could not enter the Divine Wheel Sea, let alone the Palace of a Hundred Gods. They could only stay outside the Divine Wheel Sea, aimlessly exploring or waiting.

As for causality?

Let alone the fact that these peak Emperor Realm and Sovereign Realm experts don't have such deep karmic ties with Li Yuan... even if Sovereign Tianluo and Immortal Emperor were to come in person, they would not be able to sense Li Yuan's presence through karmic connections when facing Li Yuan, who was using the Ancient Universe Realm for protection.

After all, within the immortal realm, the suppression of cause and effect and destiny is extremely strong, far exceeding that of the universe and time.

Therefore, no one knows where Li Yuan's true body is in the short term; they can only speculate that Li Yuan may still have a true body in the Hundred Gods Palace.

"Could he have already escaped back to his home world, the Universe?"

"possible!"

“He is the contemporary God King. In fact, his cultivation efficiency in the universe is even higher. There is no need for him to keep fighting to the death in the Immortal World and the Cold Journey Supreme Star City.”

"Right."

"Although the Immortal Realm offers more opportunities, it is not conducive to dedicated cultivation."

"If he escapes back to his home world, he will be absolutely safe. Even if he leaves his home world to wander in this Dark Domain... There are far fewer treasure lands in the Dark Domain suitable for adventure and training, but very few Emperor Realm experts are willing to spend their real lifespan to hunt him down, and even fewer Emperor Realm experts are confident in killing him." Various rumors emerged one after another.

Many people believe that Li Yuan escaped back to the Eighth Dark Domain, a view shared by many powerful figures.

therefore.

As time goes by, year after year, fewer and fewer peak-level emperors and rulers are willing to stay and guard the outer reaches of the Divine Wheel.

Of the members of the Chaos Palace, only a few dozen who were out adventuring in their true forms and hadn't had time to escape back were attacked and killed... The rest had all gone into hiding and hadn't shown themselves again for a short time.

The turmoil seems to have subsided for the time being.

But whether it's the Cold Journey Supreme Star City and the Chaos Divine Court that are directly confronting them, or the Tianluo Star City, the Immortal Court, and other bystander forces, they all know very well what's going on.

The Quasi-Saint of Heart Source and the Chaos Divine Court will not hide forever.

If the Chaos Divine Court wants to produce more Emperor Realm beings, it needs generations of new God Kings to venture out and hone their skills. If the older generation of Quasi-Saints who are nearing their end want to become Emperor Realm beings, they need the resources from many Eternal Relics.

Xin Yuan Quasi-Saint wants to become a Dominator as quickly as possible so that he will have more time to break through to the Supreme Realm. He also needs many treasures from the Eternal Ruins... He is destined not to be able to hide forever.

Not to mention far away.

With the upcoming Abyss Sea Sacrifice... Will the Quasi-Saint of Heart Source and the God Emperors of the Chaos Divine Court not attend?
The current silence is merely a prelude to an even more violent eruption.

……

In the vast universe, the five supreme beings are generally recognized as the strongest in the present era, and the Jing Supreme is the most mysterious. The Universe Alliance he established is also very low-key, and he has not even built a star city in the Immortal World.

As the only Abyss Supreme, Ejin Supreme has long been active in the Abyss and the Ancient Ruins of the Long River, rarely setting foot in the Immortal Realm.

Therefore, in the eyes of the major powers in the Immortal World, the three supreme star cities are the most feared... and among these three supreme star cities, the one that is generally considered to be the most impartial is the Chijun Supreme Star City.

The powerful figures from cities like Tianyue Supreme Star City and Hanxing Supreme Star City are quite domineering when they travel outside, and many of them kill and plunder treasures.

This is understandable.

Strength determines status.

However, from top to bottom, the Crimson Supreme Star City is generally willing to trade fairly with all weaker forces... This also makes the number of 'star cities' gathered in the Crimson Supreme camp the largest, exceeding seventy.

The largest number of Emperor-level experts reside here, with tens of thousands of Emperor-level experts from dozens of dark domains gathering here year-round.

today.

Inside the Supreme Hall, the highest holy temple in Chijun Supreme Star City, sits figures exuding a powerful aura.

All of them are imperial realms.

Most of them are avatars, but a considerable number of Emperor Realm beings are their true forms here... They are qualified to reside permanently in the Supreme Palace. Without a doubt, these Emperor Realm beings are core members of the Crimson Universe Alliance, and most of them even come from the Crimson Universe Realm.

suddenly.

"Buzz~" On the majestic black throne at the highest point of the Supreme Palace, endless golden light suddenly burst forth, so bright that it enveloped the magnificent Supreme Palace, which was like a vast world.

"Ok?"

"It is supreme golden light!"

"The Supreme One is about to appear."

"Supreme." The Emperor Realm cultivators who were originally in meditation instantly sensed the extraordinary phenomenon of the Supreme Throne and became extremely excited. Many of them even showed reverence in their eyes.

Supreme!

If a supreme being is born in a universe, the eternal path he opens up, whether it is the Dao of Integration or the three top eternal paths... will benefit countless lives throughout the universe when it is in operation, and the number of powerful beings born will increase dramatically.

Some newly formed, weak universes may even leap into becoming the most powerful universes.

In a top-tier universe like Tianluo Universe, under normal circumstances, at most forty or fifty Emperor Realm experts will be born by the time the universe reincarnates. However, once a Supreme Being leads the way, it is easy to give birth to over a hundred Emperor Realm experts, and it is even possible to give birth to more than two hundred Emperor Realm experts.

This is the power of the Supreme's guidance.

It can be said that many Emperor Realm cultivators broke through their limits only because of the guidance of the Supreme Being... This also made them extremely worshipful of the Supreme Being.

but.

Supreme beings are often very mysterious, and the more ancient they are, the less often they appear... Only when some rulers venture into some terrifying and dangerous places can they possibly catch a glimpse of a supreme being.

Every supreme being is striving to find their own eternal possibility.

Most things in the universe and spacetime no longer interest or concern them.

"The Supreme One has been gone for tens of millions of years, and his consciousness has not descended upon Star City."

"I wonder what's going on." Many Emperor Realm experts discussed among themselves. Normally, apart from the five Sovereigns, it was rare for the other Emperor Realm experts to see a Supreme Being.

A great deal of light gathered in the hall, and then a series of illusory figures with vast auras quickly appeared.

Even though they were just phantoms, their very positions made it clear to the naked eye that these five figures held extremely high status.

next moment.

With a whoosh, an invisible spatial fluctuation swept by, and a majestic phantom bathed in endless golden light sat upon the throne.

He wore heavy battle armor, exuding an endless aura of dominance, yet his illusory figure seemed eternal.

He looked down.

His gaze swept over them, causing the emperors in the hall to involuntarily submit, and they all respectfully said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

"Greetings, Your Excellency (Master)." The five rulers also bowed respectfully.

All of a sudden.

Inside the magnificent and boundless Supreme Hall, all was silent.

"Apart from the five rulers, everyone else may leave now," Supreme Chi Jun said slowly.

"Yes." All the Emperor Realm experts replied respectfully, and their avatars immediately dissipated, while those whose true bodies remained swiftly flew out of the Supreme Palace.

These emperors were all secretly speculating.

What could possibly cause such a revered being to descend upon the immortal realm?

Soon, only the five rulers and Supreme Chi Jun remained in the hall.

"I've heard that in the Heart Dream Universe of the Eighth Dark Domain, a peerless prodigy named 'Heart Source Quasi-Saint' was born." Supreme Chi Jun's voice was ethereal: "Supreme Han Xing Star City has offered a bounty of 3000 billion cubic Eternal Crystals for his life. Is that true?"

Swish!
Inside the hall, the gazes of the other four rulers all fell upon one ruler, who wore a green robe and possessed an otherworldly air. Standing there, he seemed to transcend the constraints of time—the Qian Guang Ruler.

He is also the only master disciple of Supreme Chi Jun.

"Master," the Sovereign of Qianguang bowed respectfully and said, "This is indeed true. It has caused quite a stir. Many Star City forces and Divine Palace forces are tracking down the whereabouts of the Quasi-Saint of Heart Source, wanting to capture his true form in exchange for 3000 billion cubic Eternal Crystals."

"Why wasn't this matter reported to me?" Supreme Lord Chi Jun asked calmly.

The Lord of Qianguang was taken aback.

Report to?

“Master, I sent you the relevant information when Xin Yuan Quasi-Saint rose to power, but you did not reply to me… As for his being hunted down by Han Xing Supreme Star City, I don’t think it’s necessary to report it again,” Qian Guang Sovereign said hesitantly.

In his view, it didn't matter how Hanxing Supreme Star City and Xinyuan Quasi-Saint fought, or who won or lost, it was none of his business.

As the supreme star city, they have the confidence to stand by and watch.

"Have you tried to win over the Quasi-Saint Xinyuan?" Supreme Chijun continued to inquire.

"No." Sovereign Qianguang shook his head and said, "Firstly, he is only a powerhouse in the Eighth Dark Domain and has little connection with my Seventy-Second Dark Domain. Even if we win him over, I don't think it will be of much use."

"Secondly, although there are many rumors that Supreme Hanxing attacked and killed the Chaos God Emperor, which is why the Chaos God Emperor turned against us, this has not been confirmed... However, it is certain that Quasi-Saint Xinyuan rejected Supreme Hanxing's invitation to Star City. If we take the initiative to win him over, we will probably be rejected as well," said Sovereign Qianguang.

"at last."

“If the Quasi-Saint of Heart Source and the Chaos Divine Court are truly sincere, they should take the initiative to seek us out for protection,” said the Sovereign of Qian Guang solemnly.

The other four rulers nodded in agreement.

The thoughts of the ruler of Qian Guang coincided with theirs.

Correct!
Xin Yuan Quasi-Saint is indeed a prodigy, rare in the world, with the potential to become a supreme being... but what is his relationship with Chi Junyu Alliance?
As a supreme power, the leaders of the Chi Junyu Alliance have their own pride.

Having been rebuffed in the Cold Journey Supreme Star City... they would never actively invite a Quasi-Saint of Heart Source unless he took the initiative to seek refuge. "Hmm."

"What's past is past," Supreme Chi Jun said slowly. "Qian Guang, go find Emperor Yun Yue... and have him send a message to Quasi-Saint Xin Yuan."

“I, Chi Jun, the Supreme Star City, am willing to grant Xin Yuan Quasi-Saint a spot in the Abyss Sea Sacrifice... I have only one condition: secrecy. I have no other requirements.”

Upon hearing this, all five rulers were taken aback.

"Master, I have already filled all the spots..." Sovereign Qian Guang couldn't help but say.

"Hmm?" Supreme Chi Jun's eyes narrowed, and a terrifying pressure instantly enveloped the entire Supreme Palace, causing the five rulers to instinctively feel a chill.

"Yes, Master, I obey." Sovereign Qian Guang bowed his head, not daring to question in the slightest.

Under normal circumstances, a ruler would not be so vulnerable in front of a supreme being... But this is the Supreme Star City created by Supreme Being Chi Jun, and within the Star City, he possesses almost invincible power.

Even if his true body is not present, and other supreme beings descend... he can suppress an opposing supreme being with just a wisp of consciousness and the power of Star City.

"Master, what if he refuses?" Sovereign Qian Guang couldn't help but ask, "What should we do?"

“He won’t refuse.” Supreme Chi Jun said calmly, “You just need to tell him that this spot does not require him to repay any karma… it is me repaying a karma from the past.”

The Qian Guang ruler and the other four rulers were all taken aback.

Supreme Being Chi Jun is repaying karma? How did Supreme Being Chi Jun get involved with Quasi-Saint Xin Yuan? The two probably don't even know each other.

But none of the five rulers are stupid.

A moment!

They all thought of the long past... Supreme Chi Jun treated the strongmen of the Eighth Dark Domain with extra favor. Could it also be related to the so-called cause and effect?

"Yes," said the Sovereign of Qianguang respectfully.

hum~
The majestic phantom bathed in endless golden light quietly vanished, and the entire Supreme Hall returned to its original state.

It was as if the Supreme Being had never descended.

……

As the de facto administrator of Chijun Supreme Star City, how vast is the intelligence network controlled by the Qian Guang Overlord? Just a moment later.

He had already contacted the Cloud Moon God Emperor.

One of his avatars quietly descended upon Tianluo Star City... Faced with the arrival of the Qian Guang Sovereign, the Cloud Moon God Emperor was naturally extremely shocked.

When the Lord of Qianguang explained his purpose.

"Master Qian Guang." Emperor Yun Yue said politely, "I have no relation to that Quasi-Saint Xin Yuan. Now that Chaos Palace has broken away from my Tianluo Star City, I can no longer contact him."

“Cloud Moon God Emperor.” Sovereign Qian Guang said calmly, “Since the Supreme One sent me directly to you, you must be able to contact the Quasi-Saint Xin Yuan.”

"Could it be that you are questioning the Supreme Being's abilities?" Sovereign Qianguang stared directly at God Emperor Yunyue.

The Cloud Moon God Emperor remained silent for a moment.

“Alright! I can contact the Quasi-Saint Xinyuan.” The Cloud Moon God Emperor said, “However, I don’t know what the Sovereign wants me to do? If he wants to capture the true body of Quasi-Saint Xinyuan through me, I’m afraid it’s in vain. I can’t do it.”

"rest assured."

“I have no interest in capturing Xinyuan Quasi-Saint,” Qian Guang Sovereign said calmly. “Tell Xinyuan Quasi-Saint that my master, Chi Jun Supreme, personally ordered that he be given a spot in the Abyss Sea Sacrifice… He only asked that this be kept secret and not leaked, and that he had no other requests.”

"The Supreme One also said..."

“If he doesn’t accept it, then tell him that he doesn’t need to repay any karma… It is I who am repaying a karma from the past, and he will naturally understand,” the Sovereign of Qian Guang said calmly.

The Cloud Moon God Emperor was shaken.

To repay a debt of karma from the past? What karma? The only one he could think of was the Supreme Being of the Northern River... Could it be karma left behind by the Supreme Being of the Northern River?
But he himself was the supreme disciple, and he had never heard of any connection between the Northern River Supreme and the Red Jun Supreme.

The Cloud Moon God Emperor, though satisfied, was still puzzled. He said, "Good."

……

The Eighth Dark Domain, the Dream Universe, within the Ink River Starfield.

"Ok?"

"Cloud Moon God Emperor?" One of Li Yuan's true bodies, which was cultivating in seclusion here, received a karmic transmission from the Cloud Moon God Emperor.

In the immortal realm, fate and cause and effect are severely suppressed, making it extremely difficult to transmit cause and effect.

In the universe, causal communication is very easy.

"Heart Source," the Cloud Moon God Emperor transmitted, "Although you still possess the Star City Guardian Token, I do not wish for the Heavenly Luo Ruler to know what I am about to say. Listen carefully..."

Quickly.

The Cloud Moon God Emperor then recounted the whole story, leaving Li Yuan both shocked and puzzled. (The question is:) How to repay the karma of the past?
No wonder he is the Supreme Being of the Northern River?

"...Little Tomb?" Li Yuan immediately inquired about Little Tomb.

“Paying for karma? Supreme Chi Jun? How is that possible?” Xiao Mu was even more surprised: “Back then, although Brother Beihe had given guidance to Supreme Chi Jun, who had only recently become an Emperor, he should not have known of my existence.”

“You are not Brother Beihe’s disciple either. If you are to repay the karmic debt, it should be done to God Emperor Yunyue.”

“I don’t know either.” Xiao Mu shook his head and said, “However, since you can avoid the consequences, it’s fine for you to take it… Ask him how to give you this spot. You can’t exactly go to Chi Jun Supreme Star City to get it, can you?”

……

Li Yuan immediately posed the question to the Cloud Moon God Emperor.

"It doesn't matter."

“Anyone below the Emperor Realm who wants to enter must have an Abyss Sacrifice Token… The Chi Junyu Alliance will give me the token, and I will personally deliver it back to the Eighth Dark Domain and then to the Heart Dream Universe,” said the Cloud Moon God Emperor directly.

Li Yuan nodded slightly.

This type of transaction shouldn't have any pitfalls.

In the end, Li Yuan agreed.

……

More than a month later, when the true form of the Cloud Moon God Emperor appeared outside the Heart Dream Universe... out of caution, Li Yuan did not go in his true form, but instead sent a 'God King Puppet' to receive it on his behalf.

"Please forgive me, God Emperor Yunyue, for I have to be careful," Li Yuan said politely via telepathy.

"Haha, no problem."

"It's only right to be careful," said the Cloud Moon God Emperor, seemingly unconcerned.

He then handed the item to me, Li Yuan, and his true form vanished into the void.

……

When the God King Puppet returned to the Ink River Starfield with the items.

"This is the Abyss Sea Sacrifice Token?" Li Yuan flipped his palm, and a token that seemed both real and illusory appeared in his palm, radiating an endless aura of destruction.

If Li Yuan hadn't suppressed it, this destructive aura alone, rushing out in all directions, would probably have been enough to cause the fall of a true god.

Even the gods would be greatly affected.

"Imperial soldiers."

"This token is actually a special imperial weapon." Li Yuan thought to himself, "Products from the Immortal Temple are indeed extraordinary... even a token is an imperial weapon."

With a hum, Li Yuan scanned the token with his divine sense and quickly obtained the corresponding information.

More than five thousand years later, if you arrive at any Immortal Temple before the deadline... you can enter with the token once the Abyss Sea Sacrifice begins.

"did not expect."

"The Chaos God Emperor requested a spot for the Abyss Sea Sacrifice from Tianluo Star City, but failed." Li Yuan thought to himself, "Senior Xinmeng made me refuse the invitation from Hanxing Supreme Star City, which has caused a disaster."

"at last."

"It was actually Supreme Chi Jun who gave it to me willingly? And I don't even have to bear any consequences?" Li Yuan sighed inwardly, sometimes things in this world are just like that.

When you crave something, you can't get it.

Just when all hope seemed lost, things took an unexpected turn for the better.

"Now that I have obtained the Abyss Sea Sacrifice Token, I will venture out in more than five thousand years." A cold glint appeared in Li Yuan's eyes: "Hanxing Supreme Star City? I hope that your Quasi-Saints will be able to withstand my spear then."

Although he obtained the Abyss Sea Sacrifice Token, Li Yuan did not tell Master Juexing or the Chaos God Emperor the news due to Supreme Chi Jun's request for secrecy.

It can be said.

Apart from the top rulers of the Chijun Universe Alliance and the Cloud Moon God Emperor, no one in the vast universe knows that Li Yuan has obtained the Abyss Sea Sacrifice Order.

……

External disturbances continued, but the storm gradually subsided.

Li Yuan's multiple true forms have been cultivating in seclusion in the secret chamber of the Emperor's Divine Palace, while his two true forms in the Heart Dream Universe have been working diligently to deduce the mysteries of the Eternal Dao... In the blink of an eye, several hundred years have passed.

For countless emperors, several hundred years is but a fleeting moment.

Li Yuan is very close to completing the introductory chapter of the "Hundred Paths Sacred Body" with his seven true bodies, and success may be achieved at any time.

"Uncle and aunt, Teacher Li Yang and the others."

"I'm very close to the end of my life," Li Yuan sighed inwardly.

(End of this chapter)
