Chapter 3679: A Fraudster

ll"The elderly man surnamed Shen, although not a pharmacist, was an outer elder of the Yaosheng Sect, holding the same status as Elder Han and Master Hui. He was mainly responsible for all non-pharmac...Looking at the old man of causality with a smug smile, Jiang Yun once again confirmed that his evaluation of the other party was correct.

This old man is a con artist!

Because his grandfather had given him enough benefits, he came to save himself. It was like a deal he made with his grandfather.

Now that the deal is over, he naturally needs to leave.

Jiang Yun pondered for a moment and said, "Is it because Grandpa gave you enough benefits that allowed you to leave this world"

The old man of cause and effect nodded. "Indeed, there is a purpose for my arrival in this realm."

"Originally, I would have needed a long time, perhaps even forever, to achieve my goal. But thanks to the favor your grandfather bestowed upon me, I am finally able to leave."

About the origins and purpose of the Karma Master, Jiang Yun didn't know, nor did he intend to ask. But there was one thing he had to solve.

"Senior, about the karmic threads on my body, no matter what effect they have, could you perhaps take them away"

An extra causal link that he was unable to perceive had appeared within him, always making Jiang Yun feel uneasy. Therefore, he wanted to take this opportunity to have the Causal Elder remove it.

However, the old man of cause and effect suddenly spread his palm and said: "Your thread of cause and effect is gone."

Jiang Yun was taken aback. He focused his gaze and saw in the palm of the old man of cause and effect, a tiny dot that resembled something burned.

The Karma Elder continued, "All karmic threads form a palm line on my hand, and this burned spot is where your karmic thread lies."

"The causal line is, in fact, a chance I have given to the cultivators of this world."

"The Thirteen Great Heavenly Venerables, besides overseeing the heavens, are also due to the karmic threads I gave them, which led to their current status and achievements."

"I wanted to give you a share too, but you burned the karmic thread and severed our karmic connection yourself."

Upon hearing the words of the Karma Master, a look of suspicion appeared on Ginger Cloud's face.

To be honest, he didn't quite believe what the old man who talked about cause and effect said.

But, this causal line was truly beyond my own comprehension, so I couldn't judge the truth of what they said.

The old man of cause and effect apparently saw that Jiang Yun didn't trust him, and smiled wryly: "I haven't lied to you. Even if you don't believe me, do you not believe your grandfather"

"If this karmic thread truly harms you, or if it hasn't disappeared yet, could your grandfather rest assured letting me save you"

Hearing this, Jiang Yun finally nodded.

Indeed, I don't understand this cause-and-effect line myself, but Grandpa certainly knows what's going on.

Since Grandpa would ask the Karma Old Man for help, it means this karma line should be harmless.

Looking at the Karma Elder gathering his palms again, Jiang Yun suddenly asked, "Is there also a strand of karma on my grandfather's body"

"Heh heh!" the old man chuckled. "You don't need to know that!"

Although the Cause and Effect Elder did not answer, Gingercloud felt that her guess was probably correct.

The grandfather formed a karmic bond with the old man of cause and effect, causing the old man of cause and effect to come and save him.

"Alright, I've taken care of your grandfather's request. It's time for me to go!"

"Kid, take care of yourself. Who knows, maybe someday we'll meet again!"

Jiang Yun suddenly clasped his hands in a fist and bowed deeply to the old man of causality, saying: "Thank you, senior, for your protection of the lower realm!"

"If you ever need to use ginger cloud in the future, senior, just speak up!"

Although Ginger Cloud thinks the Karma Old Man is a con artist, and although the Karma Old Man came to save him because of a deal with his grandfather, it's undeniable that the Lower Realm has enjoyed so many years of peace thanks to the Karma Old Man!

Ginger Cloud has always been clear about right and wrong, prioritizing gratitude over revenge.

The old man of cause and effect bestowed great kindness upon the lower realms, a debt that Ginger Cloud naturally held dear in his heart.

Looking at Jiang Yun's actions, the old man of cause and effect couldn't help but be taken aback. He obviously didn't expect Jiang Yun to be grateful to him for this matter.

He nodded gently, and a look of satisfaction appeared on the old man's face as he said: "Good, I'll remember your words!"

Furthermore, you don't have to worry too much about the subdomain issue.

Even without me there, the cultivators of the Heavenly Domains wouldn't dare to act recklessly.

After all, the lower realm you're in isn't an ordinary one!

This statement, the old man of cause and effect originally didn't want to tell Jiang Yun, but Jiang Yun's bow made him decide to reveal something to Jiang Yun.

By the time Jiang Yun stood up, the figure of the Karma Old Man was gone.

However, the old man's voice still echoed in his ears: "By the way, I almost forgot to tell you, your grandfather wants you to go to the outer realm as soon as possible!"

Ginger silently nodded.

When Grandpa appeared, he told me to take a trip to the outer realm. He said that in the outer realm, there was a possibility of us meeting again.

Originally, I thought it was just a dream and didn't think much about it. But now that it's not a dream, I have to go to another realm.

However, before that, Jiang Yun felt he should still go to Fengming Heaven first!

Ginger Cloud stood up from the ground and looked at the spot where the Karma Elder had been standing. A hint of ease gradually appeared on his face.

Although the Cause-and-Effect Elder saw himself as a fraud, his influence over thirteen Great Celestial Venerables and even the entire Heavenly Realm was real!

Even the patrolling celestial beings wouldn't dare offend the Old Man of Karma.

Even though he has left this world, others are unaware of it.

This also means that from now on, one no longer needs to be secretive, constantly changing their appearance, and worrying about being discovered by the thirteen Great Heavenly Venerables. They can finally live authentically.

Now, I can restore my true identity and walk freely among the myriad heavens.

"Hey!"

A long breath escaped Jiang Yun's mouth.

Just then, his mind suddenly flashed with the disdainful voice of Wàng Lǎo: "Cheater!"

"Ahem!"

Hearing what Wànglǎo had said, Jiāng Yún couldn't help but be taken aback by her own sigh.

After finally calming down, Jiang Yun asked with a bitter smile, "Forget Old Man, are you talking about me, or are you saying that the Cause and Effect Elder is a fraud"

Wang Lao said angrily, "Of course it's about cause and effect. He runs around everywhere in all sorts of realms, saying that he's creating karma for people and giving them opportunities. But in reality, he's just collecting karma for himself. He's a complete fraud."

Evidently, Forgetful knows about the origin of the Ancestor of Cause and Effect, not only does he know it but he understands it very well.

Jiang Yun did not ask about the cause-and-effect old man's origins, but curiously asked, "What use is collecting karma"

Wang Lao replied, "Anyway, it's a kind of practice. I don't really know the specifics."

After some thought, Jiang Yun continued, "Then what he just told me, was it all true"

Of course, what Jiang Yun cared about most was whether the story about his grandfather was true.

And Wánglǎo also understood Jiāngyún's thoughts, pondered for a moment and said: "I have slept for too many years, and I haven't experienced many things, so I can't tell you what is true or false."

However, the matter of there being nine clans within the Four Realms is indeed true.

When I first saw the Nine Clans Sacred Object on you, I was shocked. I didn't expect your father to be able to bring it out of the Four Realms Vault.

"Thinking about it now, the cause-and-effect principle must be true. They intentionally used your father to escape from the Four Realms and arrive in this world."

Because, leaving the Si Jing Zang isn't that easy. Your father, or rather, your Jiang family lineage, is what provides them with this opportunity.

However, they clearly overestimated themselves and underestimated the power of the nightmare beast. As a result, once they entered, they encountered all sorts of unexpected events.

From the old man's words, Ginger Cloud gained a deeper understanding of what had happened in the past.

"Wànglǎo, I still have one last question. I don't know if you can answer it for me"

"Laughing, Wáng Lǎo said: "What you want to ask is probably why the Four Realms Hidden Teachings are also called the Three Realms Hidden Teachings, right"pondered for a moment before saying: "Have you ever considered that the demonic creature of Dao nature might not be guarding it, but like us, a prisoner who is imprisoned more thoroughly""Of course I'...
