Chapter 242: Chapter 126 Propelling Forces from Cause and Effect_2

Bai Zhao gritted his teeth, hissing these words out through gaps in his teeth.

Bai Zhao’s innately talented in controlling the propelling forces from cause and effect. With a single thought, he could instigate the dynasty to wage wars and induce conflicts among different schools, harvesting powers from these caused effects to recuperate quickly. This was also his motivation for meddling in the affairs between Great Xia and foreign tribes.

Given such a unique talent, under normal circumstances, he shouldn’t have to worry about karmic recoil, as he had plenty of ways to circumvent it.

However, due to the missing fragment of his divine power inheritance, he had no choice but to absorb the karmic recoil, thus leading to his current predicament.

“Falling Clouds Divine Monarch! Divine capacity inheritance!”

Bai Zhao’s voice ran deep, hostility flashed in his eyes.

However, that Falling Clouds Monarch was in some way related to an Emperor in the Heavenly Court. He wasn’t even sure if he could antagonise the monarch at his peak, let alone at this moment.

The matter related to the inheritance of divine capacities was of significant importance. Including the old creature behind him, there were many in the monster tribe who didn’t want him to gain back his inheritance. Both matters were almost deadlocks for him.

Upon thinking about this, Bai Zhao suppressed his anger, turned his head and looked at the shadow behind him, speaking in a deep voice:

“Your visit to me is surely about more than just the karmic recoil, isn’t it?”

“As expected of your wisdom, my lord. Indeed, I’ve arrived here because I require Lord’s help for another matter.”

The ancient voice gently started speaking with a hint of respect:

“The Lord must have heard that we have found a treasure that Supreme Taoist had left behind a myriad of years ago.”

Bai Zhao’s brow frowned slightly:

“Indeed, I did receive some news, your sudden visit to me can’t possibly be to present me with the Supreme Taoist’s relic, right?”

The ancient voice chuckled lightly, “What a shrewd person you are, my lord. My motive for this visit is indeed to share this treasure of the Supreme Taoist with you.”

Bai Zhao fixed his gaze before speaking in a cold voice.

“You lot, so eager to snatch up all the natural treasures in the world, have, quite astonishingly, reached a point where you’d regurgitate a treasure you’ve had? Speak, what has truly happened that requires me stepping in?”

“It indeed isn’t of a significant matter. It’s just we encountered some difficulties in trying to decipher the Supreme Taoist’s treasure. We would like to request the Lord to use his natural divine power to help recreate the information about the treasure left by the Supreme Taoist.”

Hearing this, Bai Zhao flatly refused:

“Revealing the information about a relic that has been buried for tens of thousands of years? Do you know how much force propelling from cause and effect I would need to sacrifice to achieve it?

Furthermore, while the Supreme Taoist used to tower over his peers and was seen as invincible, he vanished without reaching the Immortal Realm. There is no guarantee that the relic he left behind would be any valuable treasure.”

The figure of an elderly man holding a cane materialized from the darkness behind him, standing next to Bai Zhao.

“Rest assured, my lord, since we asked you for your assistance, we must be quite certain about that piece of treasure.”

Confidence filled the older voice.

“We’ve already confirmed through another powers which mastering at prediction, that it contains the inheritance of the Supreme Taoist!”

“A peerless inheritance from tens of thousands of years ago!”

…

Standing by the window of the ship leaving Qingping County, Shen Yuan gazed at the moon in the sky. Suddenly, a thought sprouted from within his heart. The divine capacity seed in his chest, which had transformed into a flame from the Gods Purging Divine Power, began to waver.

“Is someone trying to scheme against me?”

Shen Yuan’s brows furrowed slightly as he instinctively looked in the direction of Qingping County.

The perception of the Gods Purging Divine Power seed told him that the person trying to scheme against him was in the direction of Qingping County.

However, as Shen Yuan looked in that direction, he only saw a dimly-lit night scene.

It was already deep into the night. Apart from the sound of the waves being whipped by the passage of the ship, the world was utterly silent.

The Gods Purging Divine Power was not capable of predicting things. The only reason he could sense the conspiracy behind the scenes was because he had just undertaken the divine path of the Cang Province, temporarily becoming the Lord of the God’s Path in this heaven and earth.

While the residual power of the divine path had not completely dissipated, he could sense such intentions, but he could not trace their origin.

Moreover, as time goes on, and as the residual power of the divine path dissipates, such sensing ability would become weaker and weaker.

Shen Yuan could only frown and note down the warning from the seed of the God’s Purging Divine Power in his mind. Beyond that, there was no other course of action that he could take.

Given the situation, Shen Yuan’s desire to find a method of deduction and prediction became much stronger.

“Once I get back, I’ll first refine the seed of the Nine Breaths Great Magic Power, then begin studying the divine power comprehension that Gong Buhuo brought.

Previously, due to the hurry of attending the Dao Convention, I didn’t have the chance to examine the divine power comprehension.”

“The matters of the Dao Convention came to a satisfactory conclusion, but there are surely many who have turned their eyes towards the Falling Clouds Sect. The scheming intention I sensed just now is a perfect example.

In such a situation, I should transfer these gains into my own foundation in order to deal with the tests coming from all sides in the future.”

Thinking of this, Shen Yuan couldn’t help but shake his head.

Gong Buyu stood quietly at Shen Yuan’s side, watching him with tender eyes, as if still contemplating the connection between her master and the Emperor’s projection during the day.

Under the moonlight, Gong Buyu, dressed in a pale blue palace dress, looked like an immortal descending from Moon Palace.

Bai Xue was at the window, watching the two of them with her small eyes filled with curiosity.

Just then, Shen Yuan looked towards the river where the ship was sailing, and after a while, Gong Buyu, seemingly sensing something, looked in the same direction with a focused expression.
