Everything was settled adequately.

“You can go to the Fan Clan Magic Mountain to learn the <Heart Realm>. As for the <Chaotic Origin Dao Scroll>, you will have to pay the Summer Wind Ancient Nation royal palace a visit. There will naturally be someone there to receive you.” Emperor Summer took over that original copy which Xue Ying personally penned down and disappeared from the vicinity.

Within the Jin Cloud Palace, there were only the three female attendants, Xue Ying and Southern Cloud King left inside.

Southern Cloud King also let out his breath. Facing Emperor Summer gave him quite a considerable pressure.

“Xue Ying, if you have a more powerful cultivation technique, you can earn even more.” Southern Cloud King lamented.

Xue Ying smiled: “I have to discuss that with my religion.”

Ordinary cultivation techniques were not worth a lot. Like the <Chaotic Origin Dao Scroll>, that was created by an unparalleled existence, Emperor Summer. It uses the ‘Chaotic Origin Energy’ from beyond the Origin World, fusing it into the Dao of Void and is termed as the strongest technique at the same level! There were only two levels, but learning it once took 100,000 contribution points. If it were the original copy, which Xue Ying could impart to many other cultivators, it would absolutely be more expensive than the Nine Rotation Undying Technique.

What a pity…

The more powerful and the rarer the cultivation technique was, the more difficult it would be in its creation!

“Are you planning on contacting the other five great ancient nations?” Southern Cloud King looked at Xue Ying.

“I’m not in a rush. I shall make my decision first after cultivating these two secret impartation techniques.” Xue Ying replied. The trade involving his Nine Rotation Undying Technique had to be done carefully. After all, Xue Ying would likely not find a second set of cultivation technique appropriate to sell to others.

That day.

Summer Wind Capital.

“Hu.”

After entering through the city doors, a white-robed Xue Ying swiftly flew above the Summer Wind Capital. Being an expert in the Mirage and Illusory Realm, his aura was illusory, and others could hardly discern his strength. As long as the cultivator was slightly experienced, he could determine how frighteningly strong this white-robed young man should be!

“Mn?” Xue Ying who was originally planning on visiting the Fan Clan Magic Mountain first to learn the <Heart Realm> suddenly frowned. He turned in a particular direction.

“Karma?” Xue Ying muttered.

A cosmos was relatively smaller. Hence, it was relatively easy to view any karmic ties that existed between beings.

But an Origin World was bigger. The ‘Supreme Law’ was also too high to reach. There were many Cosmos Gods, and the difficulty of sensing one’s ‘karmic ties’ increased greatly. Nevertheless, after becoming a Cosmos God, the cultivator would form his own ‘Cosmic Laws’, and wherever his body existed would push aside the Supreme Law. Hence, it was possible for him to examine all traces, including karma!

The examination of karmic ties included many challenges.

For instance, a longer distance would increase the difficulty of doing so.

And the stronger the other party was, the harder it would be to trace any karmic ties back to that party. Xue Ying’s soul had fused with the ‘Chaotic Origin Energy’ from beyond the Origin World, making it extremely difficult for others to trace down Xue Ying’s karma–even more so than doing so for ordinary Cosmos Gods. Even unparalleled existences might have a hard time finding traces of Xue Ying.

That was why Sacred Master could not find where the avatar of Scarlet-Browed Mountain Master was!

“Why do I feel that a young fellow whom I have karmic ties with is facing huge trouble within the Summer Wind Capital?” Xue Ying turned towards a direction according to his senses.

“Hua.”

Taking a step, Xue Ying disappeared silently.

…

At the Summer Wind Capital, at the ‘Hidden Wind Valley Prison’ beside Fan Clan Magic Mountain.

“Hu hu.”

The cold wind blew, biting into the bones of those who were present. It whistled amidst the valley. Many cavern prisons could be seen situated in the wall of the valley, with a prisoner being locked up in each of them.

Within one of the prisons.

Ba Tuo Chen sat cross-legged all the way in the prison. His hair draped over his shoulder. Currently, his entire person was dirty and filter. He sat there in silence.

“Dong.” A protector came to the gates, throwing pieces of bizarre metal. There were quite a few–it piled up into a little hill.

“Purify it within one month.” The protector angrily shouted.

Ba Tuo Chen’s cold eyes looked up.

The prison gates weren’t actual substance. Instead, it was an unseen array that forbade the prisoners from leaving.

“Brat, who asked you to offend Prince Sea. Do you believe in your poor luck now?” A protector sneered before leaving after that.

Ba Tuo Chen watched at the bizarre pieces of metal that piled up to a hill. He felt his heart filled with fury, and his eyes flashed with hatred.

That time.

Ba Tuo Chen’s clan was exterminated. His wife deliberately disguised herself and entered his family. To that, Ba Tuo Chen already felt quite distorted in his heart. But due to Xue Ying, he was saved and sent to the Summer Wind Ancient Nation, giving him home! That was when he regained his state of the heart. But, just a short one year later, he saw the dark side behind the biggest city in Realm Heart Great Land, the ‘Summer Wind Capital’.

‘This isn’t the time!’

‘When I go out, there’ll be a day when all of them die!’ Ba Tuo Chen roared in his heart. He closed his drooped his eyelids down before waving his hand, causing those pieces of bizarre metal to fly towards him. He began purifying the metal one by one while enduring his feeling.

“Hu.”

Suddenly, Ba Tuo Chen felt something and turned over.

Just outside the cavern that was restricted by an unseen array, there was a young man with his white robe billowing. He walked over through the void. After taking two to three steps, he arrived before this door and said with a chuckle: “Haha, Little Fellow Ba Tuo, what led you to such miserable straits?”
