"Having violated the major taboo, probing the cause and effect, and having your Divine Soul obliterated, who dares to go up to Taixu Mountain for you to demand justice?"
Their words felt like sharp swords stabbing the throats of the crowd, turning their faces pale.
A cultivator from Mystery Valley spoke with a softened tone:
"All of you are considered insiders, even if you haven’t experienced it personally, you should have heard this saying: Heavenly secrets are perilous, and cause and effect are unfathomable."
"Sometimes, being cautious is a good thing, never take risks to probe the unknowable cause and effect."
"To be honest," the Mystery Valley cultivator sighed, with a look of lamentation, "years ago, one of our ’Elder Mei’ was invited by the Shangguan Family to Qian Learning State Boundary to calculate a cause and effect."
The Mystery Valley cultivator was apprehensive, "Elder Mei couldn’t refuse the kind invitation and reluctantly calculated the uncalculable, thus witnessed a great terror, his expression turned fearful, spat blood, his body became cold, and he is still lying in Mystery Valley, recuperating..."
"Although these are two separate matters, the principle is the same. Matters of cause and effect, I ask you all to be careful."
The Mystery Valley cultivator said with a grave expression.
With him speaking from personal experience, the many family cultivators showed solemn expressions, no longer daring to be reckless.
They would secretly make calculations, but couldn’t break the Tai Xu Heavenly Mechanism Lock at all.
Out of fear of the Taixu Gate, they didn’t dare to go too far, eventually having to give up.
This invisibly saved their lives.
Inside the Taixu Gate.
Elder Master Xun advised Mo Hua: "Keep the item I gave you hung around your neck, do not take it off."
Mo Hua touched a Jade Lock around his neck.
This Jade Lock’s material was unknown, with Eight Trigrams engraved on the outside, divided into Yin and Yang, imbued with starlight, exuding an enigmatic mystery like Taixu.
According to Elder Master Xun, it’s called the "Tai Xu Yin Yang Lock," and it can seal cause and effect.
"Elder Master, what exactly is this lock used for?" Mo Hua asked.
"Don’t ask, just wear it, and don’t lose it," Elder Master Xun replied.
Mo Hua obediently nodded.
What Elder Master Xun gave him must be a good thing, since the Elder Master instructed him to wear it, he should keep it on at all times.
Seeing Mo Hua wearing the Jade Lock close to his body, Elder Master Xun felt relieved.
This Tai Xu Yin Yang Lock, was peerless, considered the Heavenly Mechanism Treasure passed down by the Taixu Gate; even he couldn’t bear to take it out and look at it usually.
But given the circumstances, he had no choice but to give it to Mo Hua to wear, as a Long Life Lock.
Whatever happens, Mo Hua’s cause and effect must be well protected.
In Qian Learning State Boundary, so many family cultivators were eyeing him like wolves, he couldn’t help but use this Yin Yang Lock to seal cause and effect, intimidate vile people, and prevent others from spying.
There was no other way, Foundation Building Middle Stage, Super Divine Sense, first in Array Competition, these combined were truly too shocking.
People fear fame like pigs fear fattening, it’s best to stay low-key when necessary.
Elder Master Xun’s original intent was to protect Mo Hua.
But he didn’t realize, inadvertently, using the Tai Xu Yin Yang Lock, he saved countless families and sects in the Qian Learning State Boundary from disaster.
Without the seal of cause and effect, letting Mo Hua expose it for others to calculate.
If the cause and effect of the Evil God and Taoist Demon spread, countless cultivators would be corrupted.
The entire Qian Learning State Boundary might instantly fall into chaos.
And Mo Hua would truly become the "Chaos Seed"...
"From now on, stay in the sect, don’t go anywhere else, cultivate in peace, at least until the turmoil passes," Elder Master Xun said.
Mo Hua earnestly nodded, "Alright, Elder Master Xun."
He indeed had many things he needed to do.
Taking advantage of his remaining impressions, he wanted to ponder the final peak diagram of the Array Discussion Conference, the Peak of Nineteen-Pattern Reversed Spirit Formation, and comprehend it several times.
He still needed to learn the Godslaying Sword.
He needed to practice the Water Shadow Illusion more.
Of course, the most important thing was, having participated in the Array Discussion Conference, the precarious rank of the Taixu Gate was secured, he could now focus on matters of breaking through to Foundation Establishment Late Stage.
Afterward, Mo Hua peacefully cultivated within the Taixu Gate.
But the tree desires stillness, yet the wind does not cease.
Many sects were still restless because of him, unable to eat or sit in peace.
Especially the Four Great Sects.
Inside the discussion hall of Qian Taoist Sect.
Several Powerful Elders from the Heavenly Sword Sect, Longding Sect, Wanxiao Sect, were discussing with Elder Shen of Qian Taoist Sect. The rıghtful source is novｅlfire.net
"Taixu Gate is apprehensive, not daring to let people spy on this one’s cause and effect."
"Aren’t you stating the obvious, if it were you, would you willingly let others spy?"
"The Ancestor of Taixu Gate, such deep tactics, unexpectedly hiding such a card, this is truly unbelievable..."
"Originally, Taixu Gate was supposed to perish alongside Tai’a Sect and Rushing Void Sect, yet now it has come back to life, not only is it living better, it’s ranked third..."
"What should we do now?"
"What else can we do? It’s a done deal, the leader of the Array Competition has been decided, and can’t be changed..."
"My point is, the next round..." Elder from Heavenly Sword Sect said with a frowned face.
Elder from Longding Sect was startled, "Next round?"
Elder from Heavenly Sword Sect solemnly said: "This round is over, we were caught off guard and schemed by Taixu Gate, losing the leader’s position. Although it’s regrettable, being entangled with it now is pointless, the key is the next round..."
Elder from Heavenly Sword Sect’s expression turned increasingly grave, even a bit fearful:
"This one’s talent is terrifying. Foundation Building Middle Stage can suppress the Heavenly Pride of my Four Great Sects’ Foundation Establishment Late Stage, even Foundation Establishment Peak, to seize the first place in the Array Competition, so what about the next round?"
"By the next round, if he reaches Foundation Establishment Late Stage, further hones his Formation skills, rises to a new level, what can our Four Great Sects use to compete with him?"
