Chapter 547: Washing away karma, your own life

He searched his whole body, inside and out, but found no trace.

He could only leave the enclosed space where the three halls were located with the help of the "Boundary Stone", so when he left the enclosed space, he must have carried the Boundary Stone with him.

Then, it could have fallen when I was traveling through time and space.

But how could it be lost?

He was afraid of being caught up, so he kept jumping and shuttling back and forth. He even forgot how many worlds he had traveled through.

Therefore, if he dropped it while escaping, he wouldn't know where to look for it.

But, something as important as the Boundary Stone cannot be lost...

All of a sudden, Yue Ying was a little panicked. Jiang Li sacrificed the entire three halls, entrusted the Boundary Stone to himself, and escorted him away.

But he lost the boundary stone.

No matter what Jiang Li's purpose is, this boundary stone must be handed over to his master, at least to give an explanation.

He escaped from the Third Hall unscathed, but if the adults held him accountable, he wouldn't know how to explain it.

…….

For a moment, Yueying was confused and didn't know how to deal with this matter...

Now that the third palace has been destroyed, I don’t know what the situation of my ninth palace is.

Thinking of this, Yueying left the place in a hurry.

…….

at the same time.

Among all the heavens and worlds, there is a continent called "Xiao Yue".

In the north of the continent, on the barren land.

A dull, fist-sized, irregular stone lay quietly on the gray ground.

The next second, a drop of rain fell from the void and dripped onto the stone.

In an instant, a green sprout broke through the stone.

With the appearance of green buds, ancient trees rose from the ground, and the barren land instantly turned into an ancient forest full of greenery.

Time passed quietly, and twelve years had passed without me noticing.

In the spring of the thirteenth year.

In the center of the ancient forest, there grows an ancient human-shaped tree. If you look closely, you can see four crystal clear fruits with a little fluorescence on the branches hanging down from the crown.

A gust of wind blew, and the golden fruit fell off naturally. The moment it fell to the ground, a ball of fairy light burst out.

The next second, a young man in white slowly walked out from the fairy light.

The young man in white stood under the human-shaped ancient tree, looked up at the three white fairy fruits on it, and sighed slowly.

Then he looked up at the sky. The light of the rising sun poured down, passing through the leaves of the coniferous forest to form beams of light, shining on the young man in white.

Feeling the warm sunshine, closing his eyes, breathing in the fragrance of the earth, a long-lost sense of relaxation surged into his heart, and he felt like he was reborn.

Now, he is no longer the supreme master of the third hall of the Divine Punishment Sect, but just an ordinary cultivator named "Jiang Li".

After being freed from cause and effect, he felt unprecedented relief.

That’s right, the young man in white standing here, greedily enjoying the sunshine, is Jiang Li who “came back from the dead”.

Everything he did was for this moment.

Yueying was wrong, completely wrong.

Jiang Li led the entire Third Hall and even used the "Gate of Divine Punishment" as a sacrifice to launch a large formation, not for the purpose of defending the Third Hall to the death and safeguarding the interests of the adults.

All he did was for today, to break away from cause and effect, to have his own freedom, and to take control of his own life again.

Including how he tried every means to invite Yueying to the Third Hall, just to rely on Yueying's hand to achieve the final step of the golden silkworm shedding its shell.

He didn't know when he started to think about breaking away from adults.

Perhaps it was because he saw those strong men under the adults' command being killed one by one and becoming abandoned, the seeds of "defection" were already planted deep in his heart.

Yes, in the eyes of others, he is a "defector."

But Jiang Li didn't care. So what if he defected?

He just wanted to take charge of his own life.

When Jiang Li was guarding the Third Palace, he was always waiting, waiting for the "river guard" to discover him and the existence of the Third Palace, so that he could carry out his plan.

Therefore, when he saw the Gate of Divine Punishment shaking, he showed an expression of excitement.

If he wants to completely get rid of the cause and effect and make the adults think that he has died in the battle, he must rely on the help of the "river guard".

He sacrificed all the people in the Three Temples and the Gate of Divine Punishment in the Three Temples, just for himself.

He himself admitted that he was indeed an extremely selfish person.

If the Third Hall was discovered, it would mean that all the people in the Third Hall were doomed to die. Even if he did not lead them to death, they would have the same fate.

Judging from the cause and effect of karma, everyone, including Jiang Li, has committed a heinous crime of murder.

They used the Gate of Divine Punishment to slaughter the lives of countless worlds, using them as nourishment to nourish the "plan" laid out by the adults. The hands of each of them have been stained with countless innocent lives.

So, it can be said that he died a worthy death.

However, Jiang Li also saved the "lives" of three people.

Those are the three silver fruits on the human-shaped tree in front of you.

He disobeyed the instructions of his adults and sacrificed the Gate of Divine Punishment without authorization. With the help of the power of the Gate of Divine Punishment and all his own cultivation, when they were completely killed by the river guards, he integrated his consciousness and the consciousness of the other three people into the "Boundary Stone".

Then, when the "time and space vortex" disappeared and the world where the three palaces were located was about to be blocked, the "Boundary Stone", the only thing that could leave the blocked world, was delivered to Yueying's hands.

Given Yueying's timid and cautious character, and his fear of death, he would definitely flee with the "Boundary Stone".

Therefore, Jiang Li found the only way to survive. If any link went wrong, he would be completely killed in the long river of time.

While Yue Ying was concentrating on escaping from one world to another, Jiang Li controlled the Palm Stone and found a suitable world to land in.

Moreover, through the conversation with Yueying, he also discovered that Yueying's character was very cautious and she would definitely not report the matter to the adults immediately.

Therefore, he was given a new life and bought twelve years of precious time.

Now, he has been reborn, and all the causes and effects on his body have completely disappeared.

Along with the disappearance, his cultivation also disappeared. Now he is just a mortal with no cultivation at all.

If he didn't give up his cultivation, he would definitely be found by the adults even if he was reborn.

He was well aware of the adults' strength, so he had to give up everything in order to completely cleanse the cause and effect and get out of the "quagmire".

Now he is just a mortal with no accomplishments.

Even if the Lord has the ability to search the entire universe to lock himself, he will not waste that time for himself.
