Chapter 2160: The Way of Karma (1/2)

The Samsaric Immortal Exalt looked at Jian Chen silently. His ancient gaze that was as profound as the vast universe gradually sharpened.

In the eyes of the Samsaric Immortal Exalt, it was basically impossible for Jian Chen to reach the peak. He believed that it would be impossible for Jian Chen to become someone that a Grand Exalt would take seriously, as he cultivated the Chaotic Body. However, Jian Chen was still the successor of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens after all. No matter how great his future accomplishments would be and no matter how far he would be able to travel, he still belonged to the Immortals’ World.

The Immortals’ World happened to oppose the Saints’ World. Under such a tense situation, he had become so close to the people of the Saints’ World. This displeased the Samsaric Immortal Exalt greatly.

“Whatever, whatever!” A while later, the Samsaric Immortal Exalt sighed gently. The sharpness in his gaze gradually vanished, and his eyes became profound once again. He said, “I’ll spare these people seeing how you’re the only successor of that old guy.”

As he said that, the Samsaric Immortal Exalt’s hand loosened slightly, and the threads of karma from Shangguan Mu’er, Ming Dong, Shui Yunlan, Audriana, Rui Di, and Zhi Ye immediately broke free from his grasp, returning to them.

“Out of the kids you want to protect, three of them have quite significant origins. They’re closely related to Grand Exalts of the Saints’ World. If I were to play around with their karma, those people would definitely notice, so even if you didn’t mention it, I wouldn’t touch three of these people,” said the Samsaric Immortal Exalt. Every single person had different backgrounds and came in contact with different people, so their threads of karma would be different. Through the threads of karma, he had discovered that Audriana, Shui Yunlan, and Ming Dong actually had karma with the Grand Exalts of the Saints’ World.

This prevented him from touching them recklessly.

Jian Chen immediately became relieved when he heard that the Samsaric Immortal Exalt would not touch Shangguan Mu’er and so on. He looked at the threads of karma in the Samsaric Immortal Exalt’s hand and gradually revealed doubt.

He could clearly ‘see’ that there were over a thousand threads of karma that differed from each other in the Samsaric Immortal Exalt’s hand. Over a hundred of them came from the supreme Godkings nearby, while the rest seemed to have passed through space, reaching over here from somewhere unknown.

A fire-red thread that was clearly much thicker than the rest raised Jian Chen’s attention. Jian Chen seemed to sense the presence of the gigantic lizard from it.

This allowed him to immediately confirm that the thread of karma came from the lizard.

At this moment, Jian Chen’s eyes suddenly narrowed. He discovered in great surprise that the thread of karma from the lizard had suddenly splayed out into many thin threads. The end of each thread was connected to a supreme Godking there, and there was actually a thread that was connected to Jian Chen.

Jian Chen’s eyes narrowed, and he glanced around. He discovered that the only people who did not have the lizard’s thread of karma was Shangguan Mu’er, Ming Dong, Shui Yunlan, Audriana, Rui Di, and Zhi Ye.

They had never had any contact with the lizard from the lava.

“Karma, karma…” Jian Chen sank into his thoughts when he realised this. He seemed to have comprehended something, gaining a rough understanding of the Way of Karma.

“I never would have thought that you can actually see the threads of karma,” the Samsaric Immortal Exalt’s voice rang out. He looked at Jian Chen with quite some surprise and said, “You can see the threads of karma means that you’ve grasped the Way of Karma.”
