Chapter 2656: Chapter 2648: Reincarnation and Karma

When one reaches the Nascent Soul High Stage, the basic courtesies ought not to be lacking, as long as others are willing to be courteous to you.

The Nascent Soul High Stage defense talisman that Cang Jing offered wasn’t much use to Feng Jun, but it really showed respect.

Others aside, True Immortal Ji Niang and True Sage Liu He raised their estimation of Feng Jun upon observing this.

It seems that any high-rank practitioner is exceptionally courteous to this guy?

The group didn’t stay long in the Ice Plate, but entering the White Qi Realm took quite some time, as the rules of this domain differ significantly from Tianqin’s. Entering the domain is not only laborious but also requires timing.

While waiting, Feng Jun suddenly remembered he was missing something, so he greeted the group and disappeared in a flash, returning about five minutes later.

Yi Jue was a bit puzzled, asking what he went to do. He smiled silently, and others chose not to inquire further.

Actually, Feng Jun went back to White Pebble Beach, brought the Big Boss over, wanting to know if the White Qi Realm held any secrets.

After waiting for three more days, they were finally able to descend. This time, Xuanyuan Buqi led Feng Jun into the White Qi Realm.

This domain is smaller than the Kunhao Realm, yet the spiritual energy is much denser. This realm used to produce True Qi clusters abundantly, hence named the White Qi Realm, favored greatly by sword cultivators and qi cultivators. However, excessive mining left it with less True Qi than ordinary domains.

Upon landing, True Immortal Ji Niang started to locate, then summoned the group, heading to her training place.

Her training ground is at Sword Qi Mountain of the Green Lotus Sect’s subsidiary. Although called a mountain, it is a vast mountain range spanning ten million miles.

Nowadays, Sword Qi Mountain doesn’t have many disciples, mainly divided into five key areas: two cultivation zones and three sword qi collection zones — essentially True Qi zones, but the True Qi output here has nearly dried up.

Sword Qi Mountain has a Supreme Elder at the Emergence Stage, though he’s barely clinging to survival. His final task is to guard the Sword Qi Mountain Lineage, hoping to endure till near demise, able to summon the Green Lotus Sect for reincarnation arrangements.

This treatment is much better than that of the Guaner Plane, so Jiu Ge Sage going to Guaner really had a strong punishment flavor.

True Sage Liu He disagrees to contact the Emergence Stage elder in seclusion, saying, "I’ll make arrangements for you to enter the core area... But may I ask the backgrounds of these two predecessors? If unknown, it would be inconvenient for you to enter."

However, not only one person refused to enter the core area — since it’s a key area of Green Lotus’s subsidiary, we won’t enter.

Feng Jun didn’t reject immediately, as distance is his shortcoming in deductions, but... Yi Jue refused.

Yet this group isn’t ordinary; two days later, Yi Jue and Qian Zhong deduced some karma, saying Ji Niang’s issue isn’t inside Sword Qi Mountain — "You’d better tell us other places you’ve been."

Xuanyuan Buqi is less skilled in this area but doesn’t mind, straightforwardly saying, "I’m not good at this."

By now, True Sage Liu He learned Feng Jun’s identity from a disciple, unsurprised — the Xuanyuan Family excels in destiny and Heavenly Dao, not caring much for karma. But he’s a bit curious about the other predecessor’s background.

Two days later, the group retraced Ji Niang’s training path, and after another two days, Qian Zhong identified a disturbance, "It’s that city ahead, your karma is there."

Promptly, Yi Jue also remarked, "Indeed, karma entwines heavily here, likely nine out of ten is here."

True Immortal Ji Niang looked perplexed, thinking for a long time, then turned to Feng Jun, "I don’t recall any karma here."

Feng Jun felt a bit embarrassed, "You came here over a hundred years ago, expecting me to deduce it?"

However, at that moment, the Yin Spirit Bigwig’s divine sense conveyed, "She killed a reincarnated body here; the person was completely obliterated, and the good and bad causes influenced each other, without complete eradication."

Slaying a reincarnated body... Feng Jun’s mouth twitched, transmitting with divine sense, "How am I supposed to explain this... not comprehending at all."

"There’s no need to understand," the Big Boss said stably, "Just relay what I said; this method is private by nature."

How do you know? Feng Jun really wanted to retort since he knows the Big Boss isn’t one for deduction.

Still, since it emphasized privacy, he wouldn’t ask further, instead retransmitting the Big Boss’s words.

Although his divine sense wave was faint, everyone had observed it. Considering it might be a deduction method, they didn’t mind, while True Immortal Ji Niang asked excitedly, "A reincarnated body... did I do such a major thing?"

The group collectively glanced at the sky; she pondered a while, then stated, "Yet, I did not kill anyone here at that time. Since cultivation, I haven’t killed many; there can’t be a reminder I can’t recall."

"My foolish disciple," True Sage Liu He couldn’t help but remark, "A reincarnated body doesn’t necessarily have to be human. Didn’t you listen carefully? There’s good cause, bad cause... Amassing evil may reincarnate as a beast, but with virtuous cause in beast form, good and evil do not offset."

Despite the critique, this was obscure knowledge — the Tianqin Plane’s reincarnation path has flaws, not even True Immortal Ji Niang knew, nor did Elder Cang Jing. Yi Jue had heard somewhat, so what he said was merely a reminder. ℯℯ𝘭.

True Immortal Ji Niang thought carefully, then nodded, "I did slaughter three beasts here..."

True Sage Liu He accompanied his disciple in analysis, while Yi Jue glanced at Feng Jun with a questioning look in her eyes—do you actually understand this?

She was well aware that such knowledge involving Incense Fire Ascension was indeed Feng Jun’s shortcoming.

Feng Jun lightly coughed, "I felt something occasionally, not necessarily accurate, just speaking casually."

"Could you share it with us?" Xuanyuan Buqi showed no sense of formality and directly suggested, "I offer Extreme Spirituality in exchange for learning."

True Sage Liu He was helping his disciple analyze, but upon hearing this, he turned his head slightly, pondering when Extreme Spirituality became a unit of trade.

Feng Jun smiled, "I apologize, senior, this is a very private matter, not to be transmitted outside."

"Not to be transmitted? That’s truly unfortunate," Xuanyuan Buqi slightly raised his voice, but his eyes did not reflect any appearance of "regret."

Yi Jue instantly understood, realizing he was reminding Ji Niang, Liu He, and even Cang Jing to restrain themselves, but does doing so really suit his status?

In the following two days, True Sage Liu He executed a series of operations with his disciple.

At first, they occasionally consulted Feng Jun on whether their approach was correct, to which Feng Jun shook his head, indicating that the specific operations are private to each sect, and he wasn’t particularly clear—unless they revealed the methods of the Green Lotus Sect to him.

The Liu He duo actually believed this, as the Qinglian methods were impossible to impart lightly, so they had to deduce them on their own.

Yet, Feng Jun observed their responses throughout, aiming to enrich his understanding of cause and effect.

The Liu He duo didn’t prevent their observation—while the strategies could be seen, the core of Qinglian’s lineage remained unknown.

Noticing their non-interference, the other four surrounded them persistently, whether understanding or not, to absorb some methods initially.

Yet, facts proved True Sage Liu He’s adeptness; two days later, without significant hints, Feng Jun could determine through his mobile device, "It’s done, this thread of cause and effect has dissipated, you two may return now."

True Sage Liu He seemed to verify something, let out a sigh of relief upon hearing, "Indeed, the rumors are true, such a possibility exists, it’s quite enlightening... Fortunately, handled appropriately."

How he managed this appropriately wasn’t something others should inquire about, but the next moment, he looked at Feng Jun, "Aren’t you leaving?"

"I have matters to address here," Feng Jun replied with a smile, "If you two wish for me to send you off a bit, that’s no problem."

"It’s not just about sending off," Liu He felt a bit embarrassed, "I meant, having addressed this cause and effect, aren’t you going to re-deduce it? Besides... the rules of this realm are rather peculiar, deducing in the Tianqin Plane might be more suitable?"

You know me quite well! Feng Jun sighed inwardly, but appeared apologetic, "It is true, I neglected that."

His quick admission of error gave Liu He a favorable impression, thus he spoke, "No problem, I’m just concerned about Ji Niang... Do you need assistance for what you’re doing in this realm?"

"No need, but thank you for your concern, Liu He Great Sage," Feng Jun smiled and cupped his hands, "When I need help, I will definitely seek the senior’s aid."

Liu He nodded with a smile, inwardly thinking: Are there times you’ll need to ask me when you already have two True Sages by your side?

In all honesty, he genuinely wished Feng Jun would seek his assistance; however, given those True Sages, many on the Tianqin Plane reportedly have good relations with him, so he can only hope that Feng Jun’s words aren’t mere politeness.

Feng Jun transported them to the Ice Plate.

The environment here still differed somewhat from the Green Lotus Sect, yet greatly improved compared to the White Qi Domain.

True Sage Liu He invited Feng Jun to Green Lotus Sect for deducing—not the main sect, but Feng Jun declined.

What a joke, even if it’s not the main sect, visiting once would trigger too much aftermath, Xuanyuan Buqi can’t follow, even if Qian Zhong did, there’s a high chance of discovery, given this, better not go?

Seeing him firmly refuse, True Sage Liu He knew he shouldn’t press further, so they proceeded with deduction on the Ice Plate.

Through deduction, indeed, there were some variables, Feng Jun modified several treasures on the list, yet most notably, Ji Niang’s advancement timing was greatly accelerated—from two years later to next month.

The probability of successful advancement is 88%, not that she is extraordinarily gifted, but transitioning from Nascent Soul Sixth Layer to Seventh Layer is merely a minor stage.

If unable to break through, it’s due to unready conditions, and forcing it can at most harm the foundation, eternal stagnation, without great risk of demise unless overly forced.

When conditions mature, the probability of breakthrough naturally rises.

Feng Jun’s deduced result left him somewhat speechless: this cause and effect indeed has a significant influence on individuals!
