n with a weathered appearance.The man wasn't particularly handsome, but the most eye-catching thing was that he was wearing a colorful long robe!First published on the website for Traditional Chinese...In the lower realm, an outer battlefield, a fair inner world, an old man sat cross-legged atop a mountain peak, his eyes closed, as if in meditation.

And around him, there were strands of color, like they were alive, swirling and dancing around his body.

Although each thread exists independently, they together outline a variety of shapes.

Some threads, connected end to end, form a complete circle;

Some threads, winding and curving, resemble a continuous range of mountains.

The thread is just straight from the brush, with no curves at all!

"Hey!"

Suddenly, a long breath escaped the elder's mouth. He slowly opened his hands, and to everyone's astonishment, his palms were perfectly smooth, without a single wrinkle.

At the same time, all the swirling threads came to a halt as one.

Moments later, they all surged towards the old man's flat palm and vanished into it, transforming into crisscrossing lines of palm prints!

When all the threads disappeared, the old man's palm was covered with intricate lines.

The old man also opened his eyes, his gaze fixed on his own palm. Among the many lines on his palm, there was an incomplete black line, as if it had been burned, standing out remarkably.

Looking at the palm lines, the old man let out a soft sigh and said: "The causes and effects that should have happened have already happened, and the ones that shouldn't have will not happen again."

But the cause and effect between me and this Ginger Cloud, even I can't grasp it. I don't know when it will be resolved.

"If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have gotten involved with him in the first place!"

"It makes me unable to leave now, I can only continue waiting endlessly."

Of course, this old man is the Karma Elder.

Since the Domain Gate opened, Jiang Yun and other cultivators from the Lower Realms flocked to the Azure Sky Gathering Region. He has remained here ever since, never leaving.

From his words, it seemed as if he was waiting for a final resolution to the karmic ties between him and Jiang Yun.

"Hmm"

Just as the words of the old man about cause and effect had fallen, he saw that the thread of cause and effect belonging to Jiang Yun in his palm trembled violently.

This caused his two long eyebrows to suddenly twitch slightly, and even more so, two rays of light surged in his eyes. He muttered, "It couldn't be this coincidental, could it"

"As I was just pondering the karmic ties of this Jiangyun, his karmic thread in this lower realm suddenly fluctuated, and so violently"

But he should be in the Celestial Gathering Realm right now!

In this domain, while there are many people and things, they indeed have some causal connections with him. But what could possibly release such a powerful wave of karmic energy

The old man of causality’s eyes narrowed slowly, pondering for a moment before suddenly extending two fingers to gently pinch the thread of causality belonging to Jiang Yun within his palm. He then pulled it away from his hand with visible ease.

"Go!"

Immediately following, the old man of cause and effect uttered a single word. The thread of causality immediately quivered, then melted into nothingness, vanishing without a trace.

The old man of cause and effect also closed his eyes, but in his mind, he saw scenes changing constantly.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Shan Hai Realm!

The world where Jiang Yun once grew up and lived, his home in this life.

Although it has gone through several major wars that almost wiped it out, thanks to the efforts of cultivators like Jiang Yun and his friends, it turned misfortune into good fortune. Today, it has become the center of the entire Shan Hai region, even the entire lower realm, and is the most prosperous world.

Within, countless cities stand, with all kinds of buildings, lining up and towering over each other. Within every city, countless cultivators come and go.

Although the area of the Shan Hai Realm is a little smaller, its popularity is no less than that of the Tai Yi Realm.

Teleportation arrays and void paths are located everywhere in the world.

From here, you can go to any place in this subspace, including the off-site location, including the erased domain!

The reason for such a drastic change, besides being home to Jiang Yun, is naturally also due to the efforts of Jiang Yun's friends and disciples who stayed in the Sea-Mountain Realm.

Today, the largest sect within the Shan Hai Realm is still the Question Dao Sect, and it remains located within the Nan Shan Prefecture.

The five peaks resembling palms are where all the disciples of the Question Dao Sect live and cultivate, while the Sixth Peak, Cangfeng, is forbidden territory.

Not even ordinary disciples, let alone the sect master and elders, would approach casually.

And asked who the current master of the sect was, it wasn't someone else, but Dao Wu Ming, the true master of the Asking Path Sect when the Dao Zun was still alive, who was also the master of the Nine Great Sects!

The original sect master was not Dao Wuming, but Dao Wuming suddenly appeared in the Wendao Sect one day.

Since the Daoist Master's death, even powerful figures like Dao Wuming, who were once shrouded in mystery, are no longer so enigmatic.

Everyone knows that he has a very close relationship with Jiang Yun, is his elder, and is extremely powerful.

Therefore, for the appearance of Dao Wuming, all disciples of the Wen Tao Sect naturally welcomed him with open arms.

...When asked about the possibility of staying in the Wudao Sect permanently, Dao Wu Ming's words sent all the disciples into a frenzy.

Thus, the current sect leader immediately begged him to become the head of Wenda Sect, leading Wenda Sect to flourish.

The Way has no name, nature is a thousand excuses, but in the end, there are truly no excuses to be made. With no other choice, one can only agree.

He could assume the identity of a sect master, but he would not interfere with internal matters. People handled things as they always had before, and still did now.

Thus, Dao Wuming became the headmaster of Wen Dao Zong, but he did not live on the main peak. Instead, he built a small hut behind Wuming Peak and settled there.

In his daily life, he rarely shows himself. He spends most of his time staying indoors and practicing in seclusion.

Of course, the current Shan Hai Realm is calm and peaceful, with nothing major happening. Therefore, no one bothers him.

Before the Cause and Effect Elder could sense the fluctuations in Ginger Cloud's karma, Dao Wuming was not in his own house, but had delved deep into the earth!

Deep beneath the surface, in a place unknown to the depths, an endless fire burns perpetually, forging a continuous flow of magma.

And within this molten sea, there stood a manor of no small size, shrouded in layers of formations. It remained unaffected by the magma and scorching heat, appearing much like an earthly paradise.

Dao Wuming strode into the manor, familiar with every step, until he reached a house and pushed open the door.

Inside, a young man sat cross-legged.

This young man's looks, figure, and build are exactly the same as Ginger Cloud's.

Especially when he opened his eyes and looked at Dao Wuming as he walked in, the calmness that flowed from his eyes was exactly the same as Jiang Yun's.

Of course, he is the son of Dao Wuming, Dao Tianyou.

Following Dao Wuming's request, ever since Jiang Yun left, he has been trying his best to imitate everything about Jiang Yun.

And now, after several decades, he has reached a level of near perfection.

If he stood beside the real Ginger Cloud, even the most familiar person would be unable to tell the difference between him and the genuine Ginger Cloud.

Looking at Dao Wuming, Dao Tianyou nodded and said, "Uncle!"

This was also a nameless requirement, making him firmly remember that he was Jiang Yun, no longer Dao Tianyou.

Dao Wuming nodded in satisfaction and said, "Not bad, Yun'er, come with me!"

Dao Tianyou didn't even ask where they were going. He obediently stood up and walked to Dao Wuming's side.

Dao Wuming enveloped Dao Tianyou's body, and with a step forward, he vanished without a trace.

But as Dao Tian looked, a flower appeared before his eyes, and he found himself standing in front of a swamp.

Dao Wuming reached out a hand toward the swamp, and with his finger pointing, he saw it slowly split open. From within, a middle-aged man surfaced, his eyes tightly shut.

Looking at this man, Daitian's eyes flashed, and his face changed slightly. He had something he wanted to say, but he held back.

Dao Wuming glanced at him and said, "Do you recognize me"

Dao Tianyou pondered for a moment, then said, "He should be from the Shan Hai Wen Dao division, the successor to me, some former sect master.", then it means that Jiang Yun's words just now have been proven right.This test is unfair!"Absolutely not, this cannot happen!""Luckily, your divine consciousness is only slightly stronger than mine,...
