Immortality: Starting with a grave, I'm invincible when burying corpses.

A shattered compass, capable of transforming space into chaotic black matter, and a sudden change occurs...

All of this made the old master's face turn ugly, and he lost his initial composure.

If the remnant soul within the Yin-Yang Taiji Diagram was entirely under the Old Celestial Master's control, then this peculiar substance in the Heaven and Earth Compass was completely beyond his expectations.

He knew that the magical treasures left behind by these "immortals" were all problematic, and he also knew that the Heaven and Earth Compass contained some backup plans left by the "immortals," but he never expected that the seemingly ordinary Heaven and Earth Compass would be so dangerous.

This power to annihilate everything and return all to chaos far exceeded his expectations.

Judging from the situation just now, even with some preparation, it would take the Celestial Master a lot of effort to suppress this black substance, which would greatly affect his path of seeking the Dao.

Without preparation, he might have suffered a serious injury, completely ruining his subsequent plans.

Worse still, judging from the aura emanating from this black substance, its true purpose is not to destroy the holder of the Heaven and Earth Compass, but to destroy the entire world at the most crucial moment and reap the final reward.

Thank goodness...

Thinking of this, the old master breathed a sigh of relief.

He discovered the problems with the Yin-Yang Taiji diagram and the Heaven and Earth Compass within ten years. Out of his usual caution, he did not take direct action, but observed for ten years without making any rash moves.

Realizing he wasn't entirely confident, the old celestial master brought the two celestial treasures directly to Mu An.

The idea that fortune and wealth are found in danger is just a deceptive tactic. The only thing a strong person should do is to take control of everything.

The old celestial master sighed from the bottom of his heart, thankfully he was cautious enough not to covet the opportunities that might exist in the celestial treasure.

These cunning old foxes from the "Immortal Realm" are truly ruthless, each one more ruthless than the last, managing to leave behind such a contingency plan across three hundred thousand years!

Thinking about it carefully, weren't those three immortals and gods who perished in the Nine Realms also part of the scheme orchestrated by the mastermind behind the scenes?

It might have been arranged by the beings above the three immortals, all for the purpose of better promoting the evolution of the Nine Realms and thus reaping more benefits.

If the Celestial Master hadn't harbored ambitions to usurp the Heavenly Dao, if he had discovered the problem later, if Mu An had left the Nine Realms after ascending to the Golden Immortal realm...

The consequences would be unimaginable!

Although Tian Sheng Mountain provides a safety net, that has nothing to do with the old Celestial Master.

The Nine Realms may not be in any major trouble in the end, but his path to enlightenment will likely be completely destroyed.

You despicable creatures who steal human fruits, don't let this humble Taoist catch you!

Looking at Mu An, who had regained his composure, the old celestial master showed a rare hint of anger and asked in a deep voice.

"True Lord, what exactly is hidden within this Heaven and Earth Compass? And why do you say that those so-called 'immortals' desire the lives of all living beings in the world?"

As the old celestial master's angry voice fell, Qinghe, who was behind the two, also recovered from the sudden change and looked at Mu An with a pale face.

The moment the black substance appeared, she felt a strong sense of suffocation. If it weren't for Mu An's protection, she would probably have collapsed to the ground by now.

This was the first time she had ever experienced the feeling of being on the verge of death.

"The product of the path of destruction and the karma of all beings is actually very simple in its function."

"By polluting spiritual energy with karma, we cause all living beings to fall into the sea of ​​karma, thereby destroying heaven and earth. Then, we use the destroyed nine realms as resources to replenish ourselves and ascend to the complete realm of Golden Immortal."

……

"Spiritual energy, karma, the path of destruction, replenishing oneself, the complete Golden Immortal realm..."

The specific terms immediately gave the old celestial master an idea, allowing him to understand the general situation and guess what kind of scheme the "immortal" who left behind the Heaven and Earth Compass had.

Even without any evidence, the old master dared to say that he was 99% certain of his speculation.

As for why the usually humble Old Master was so confident about this matter.

The reasons behind this are simply not something that can be explained to outsiders.

They are all beings who orchestrate the world and use all living beings as pawns. Who doesn't know whose methods are better?

It's just that the person who set up this scheme was even more greedy, and what they wanted was even more harmful.

The old master looked enlightened, but Qinghe was completely bewildered.

Upon suddenly encountering something of such a level, Qinghe felt both fear and intense curiosity.

Even though she knew this wasn't something she should hear, her kitten-like curiosity kept her standing there, hoping Mu An could explain things clearly.

"This object actually has a more appropriate name than the name 'Heaven and Earth Compass'."

"A more appropriate name?" Curiosity overcame fear, and Qinghe moved a little closer to Mu'an, craning her neck to ask.

"The Roulette of Karma".

"The Roulette of Karma?"

"Using heaven and earth as the sea, spiritual energy as the guide, and karma as the poison, poison is added to the spiritual energy, thereby causing all living beings to sink into the sea of ​​karma forever."

As Qinghe listened, she felt her brain couldn't keep up; her thoughts were tangled together like a rope, forming one knot after another.

She knows every single word, so why can't she understand it when they're put together?

This is a matter of great importance to the world. Even if she can't do anything and can only listen from the sidelines, the sense of participation is enough to make her reminisce for a lifetime, and it will make her look exceptionally sophisticated when she brags about it later.

What's the big deal if you don't understand? You can't just go and talk nonsense to other people, can you?

After hesitating for a moment, Qinghe awkwardly touched her hair that fell to her shoulders, and like a student asking a question to a teacher, she timidly raised her right hand and said sincerely.

"Mr. Mu, could you explain in more detail? Why is karma considered poison? And what exactly is the relationship between spiritual energy and karma?"

To make it easier to understand, Mu An raised his hand and pointed into the void.

As the light and shadow shifted, an endless starry sky replaced the original air and appeared before the three of them.

At the very center of the starry sky is a vast world that is square in shape but has extremely irregular edges, with hundreds of smaller stars orbiting around it.

"The world before us is the Nine Realms, a world that exists in the Boundary Sea and was born a million years ago."

"One million years ago? But history books say our human civilization has a history of three hundred thousand years. How could the Nine Realms have existed for such a short time? Could it be that no other life existed before?"

A series of questions came out of Qinghe's mouth, and Mu'an's argument was obviously inconsistent with her previous understanding.

"No, the first life in the Nine Realms was also born a million years ago. It was the first spirit race in the world, also known as the progenitor of the spirit race. It was born with the world and was the first terrestrial deity in the world."
