Chapter 238 Choosing the Heaven



"Five Bodhi leaves thrown away will leave such a cause and effect ten thousand years later."

"Wen Tiantai Daojun? I didn't expect that the proud young cultivator would actually be able to enter the realm of Daojun."

There seemed to be countless stars flowing in the depths of Shen Yuan's eyes, and he had taken in all the causes and consequences of what had happened in the barren mountains.

Just before, when Shen Yuan used his astrological powers to deduce the cause and effect of a plot in Cangzhou, Shen Yuan locked onto the monsters such as Bai Zhao who were seeking inheritance.

However, the star number ability of the second realm only focuses on deduction and does not have any offensive power.

Even if Shen Yuan locked onto the locations and identities of Bai Zhao and other monsters, he was unable to forcibly attack them across thousands of miles.

But as they took out the Starlight Bodhi Leaf from the stone box, everything began to change.

Although the Starlight Bodhi Leaf was formed by the Enlightenment Array, it was essentially just the gathering of starlight and was not some special magical treasure. The reason it has survived until now is because Wen Tiantai sealed it in an altar stone box.

When the great demons destroyed the altar and opened the stone box, the backup plan left by Wen Tiantai completely disappeared. The Starlight Bodhi Leaf could no longer support itself and turned into starlight and returned to the world.

There was no way the great demons who had transformed into gods would believe that the Starlight Bodhi Leaf, which carried the inheritance of the Supreme Daoist Son, was just transformed from starlight and suddenly disappeared simply because it could not withstand the erosion of such a long time.

The furious great demons were eager to find someone to be held responsible for this incident. As the core force that unified the various demon realms, the Ancient Demon Palace naturally took the blame.

The Ancient Demon Palace could not bear the cost and put the blame on Bai Zhao.

Bai Zhao had no choice but to prove his innocence and wanted to use the Zetian Plate to spy on the whereabouts of the Starlight Bodhi Leaf.

But the Starlight Bodhi Leaf had already turned into starlight and dissipated between heaven and earth, so where could it go? Instead, with the help of the connection of the Starlight Bodhi Leaf, the Heaven Selection Plate locked onto the Starry Sky Bodhi Tree in the secret realm of the courtyard.

Shen Yuan was naturally very happy about Bai Zhao's spying.

After witnessing the entire process of the dispute among the monsters, he already knew that Bai Zhao was the culprit who instigated the dispute in Jidu Dragon Palace and tried to plot against him.

If Bai Zhao had not used the law of cause and effect to deduce the Starry Sky Bodhi, they were far away in Qingzhou, and Shen Yuan's current strength would not have allowed him to cross thousands of miles to attack them.

But after Bai Zhao used the Zetian Plate to deduce the Starry Sky Bodhi Tree, Shen Yuan had the opportunity to take action.

The Starry Sky Bodhi Tree was originally Shen Yuan’s home turf. Shen Yuan had just used his star-number magical power to integrate the Starry Sky Bodhi into the starry sky of the secret courtyard, making it more perfect.

What Bai Zhao did was equivalent to sending himself to the door, which was undoubtedly a taboo for practitioners who used the method of deduction.

With almost no effort, Shen Yuan locked onto Bai Zhao with his star-number magic power, and forcibly extracted Bai Zhao's karma through the starry sky Bodhi tree traced by the Zetian Plate.

A large amount of causal karma was infused into the Starry Bodhi Tree, allowing Shen Yuan to use Bai Zhao's power to cross thousands of miles and manifest in the barren mountains of Qingzhou.

The eyes of the stars where countless stars gather are the result of the manifestation of the star power through cause and effect karma.

The gaze from the starry sky carried unimaginable pressure. Nearly ten great demons who had reached the state of spiritual transformation fell from mid-air, and their powerful bodies smashed directly into the ground.

They seemed to be carrying an invisible mountain on their backs, and under the weight of the mountain all their magic power and spiritual power were suppressed.

If they were not great demons with strong bodies, the pressure from the Eyes of Stars alone would be enough to crush their bodies.

All the great monsters lowered their heads in fear, not daring to look directly into the majestic eyes above the starry sky.

The starlight from the stars blurred their perception and the fear in their hearts made them lose their ability to think calmly. Under such circumstances, they were simply unable to detect the wisps of mysterious yellow energy hidden in the starlight.

The great demons who had transformed into gods simply looked at the pale-faced Bai Zhao angrily and asked angrily:

"Idiot! What on earth did you trace back to?"

Along with the manifestation of the Eye of Stars, the causal karma in Bai Zhao's body was constantly being squeezed madly. His cultivation at this moment had dropped to the initial stage of Qi training, and was falling towards a lower level without stopping.

At this moment, Bai Zhao had completely lost control of the Zetian Plate. This was an experience he had never had before.

The Zetian Plate is a treasure of deduction created by the Demon Saint Bai Ze. It cannot be controlled by ordinary means. Only practitioners who are proficient in the method of deduction can control the Zetian Plate, but that is only when the Zetian Plate has no owner.

The Zetian Plate has already recognized Bai Zhao as its master, and with the help of the magical power of cause and effect karma, almost no one in the world can compete with Bai Zhao in the way of deduction, not even the star fortune tellers of Louguan Dao.

But just after deducing that starlight Bodhi leaf, the Zetian Plate encountered a reverse invasion, and the opponent took control of everything almost effortlessly.

There is only one possibility for this to happen.

The other party's realm is extremely high, enough to ignore the influence of cause and effect and suppress everything.

Combined with the origin of the Starlight Bodhi Leaf, an extremely terrifying thought appeared in Bai Zhao's mind.

"He is the Supreme Daoist! I traced the cause and effect and found him in the Supreme Daoist. He still exists in the Xuanhuang Realm, so he can use the stars as a medium to lower his sight!"

A terrified voice came out of Bai Zhao's mouth, and the great demons crawling on the ground under the stars all showed expressions of disbelief.

Bai Zhao, as the reincarnation of the Demon Saint, would definitely not act without purpose in such a critical situation. The Supreme Taoist could very likely be the one behind that starry eye.

The reputation of the Supreme Taoist had resounded throughout the entire Xuanhuang Realm ten thousand years ago, and ten thousand years after the spiritual energy had been exhausted, this Supreme Taoist still remained in the world, even ignoring the suppression of heaven and earth and crossing an unknown distance to manifest strange visions under the starry sky.

Even those powerful immortals hiding in blessed places cannot do this.

The other party was already the number one prodigy in the Xuanhuang Realm ten thousand years ago, and he had killed countless powerful men of the older generation. What realm could this supreme Taoist have reached after ten thousand years?

Thinking of this, all the great demons who had transformed into gods trembled in their hearts.

At this moment, they have already determined that it was their attempt to seize the inheritance of the Supreme Taoist that angered this living immortal.

"Taozi, calm down your anger, Taozi, calm down your anger!"

"We have no intention of offending Daozi's inheritance. All this is caused by the Ancient Demon Palace."

"The deer in the Qilian Mountain Demon Realm is rampant, and he is here to meet the Supreme Taoist!"

"My ancestor had a past with Daozi ten thousand years ago. I hope Daozi will forgive me."

The bodies of the great demons who had transformed into gods were buried in the earth, and they begged for mercy from the Eyes of Stars with the utmost humility.

Even Bai Zhao completely let go of his status as the reincarnation of the Demon Saint and knelt on the ground, constantly praying to Shen Yuan.

"Bai Zhao has no intention of offending the Supreme Daoist, please forgive me!"

At this moment, the karma in Bai Zhao's body had long been drained, and his realm had fallen to the middle stage of Qi transformation.

If it weren't for the profound foundation of the reincarnation of the Demon Saint, Bai Zhao would probably have turned into a mummy long ago. However, the karma that was constantly being extracted was far less terrifying than facing the Supreme Taoist.

Even if he was wanted by all the major demon realms, Bai Zhao was confident that he could escape by relying on the method of deduction and the trump cards left behind before his reincarnation.

But in front of a powerful man who was suspected to be above an immortal, all his tricks were nothing but illusions. The other party had the ability to truly kill him. How could Bai Zhao not be afraid?

The monsters were all in a state of anxiety. Shen Ting in the courtyard was watching everything, his eyes lost in thought.

With the help of Bai Zhao's karma, he could project the changes in the stars derived from the star number magic power to thousands of miles away, and even secretly mobilize the Xuanhuang Qi to suppress the monsters. With Bai Zhao's remaining karma, it would not be difficult for Shen Yuan to kill one or two of the incarnation monsters.

But if you want to go a step further and kill all the great demons, it is not an easy task.

Due to the long distance, Shen Yuan could not use any of the methods he had, and Bai Zhao’s karma was running low.

Just forcibly killing one or two great demons would not bring any substantial gains to Shen Yuan. On the contrary, if he failed to kill all the great demons, once the matter was spread by these great demons, it would inevitably affect the reputation of the Supreme Taoist.

He had murderous intentions towards the demons in the Spirit Transformation Realm but was unable to kill them all. No matter what the reason was, it would affect the outside world's judgment of the Supreme Taoist.

"These great demons cannot be killed."

Shen Yuan already had a plan in mind, and his attention was focused on Bai Zhao, who was holding the Zetian Plate.

The other great demons who have reached the state of transformation cannot be killed, but Bai Zhao, the culprit, cannot be let off easily.

This was not the first time that Bai Zhao had used the power of cause and effect to stir up trouble. Shen Yuan vaguely remembered that when he was in the Yunfu Mountains, a demon mountain god had mentioned the descendants of Bai Ze, who might be related to Bai Zhao.

Before in Cangzhou, Bai Zhao also secretly stirred up trouble and provoked disputes.

A murderous intent rose in his heart, and suddenly a dark red meteor streaked across the night sky in the courtyard, bringing a slight change to Shen Yuan's star counting ability.

"The stars have changed. Could it be that Bai Zhao has some way to save his life? It is difficult to kill him with the means we are using now?"

A look of surprise and doubt flashed across Shen Yuan's eyes.

"Bai Zhao is the reincarnation of Bai Ze Demon Saint. Although it is not a normal reincarnation, the Demon Saint's cultivation is comparable to that of a human Dao Lord. It is normal for him to leave behind some life-saving cards."

Thinking of this, Shen Yuan immediately changed his mind.

“Not killing him, but destroying his foundation is not a difficult task.

Although the karmic power of cause and effect can help him recover, it also requires a certain amount of time and opportunity. It will be enough to find a way to kill him with one strike before he fully recovers."

"What's more, Bai Zhao has been locked by the Star Divination Magical Power. Any plan against me in the future will be sensed by me. Keeping him may have some value."

The index finger of his right hand tapped lightly on the table. Thousands of miles away, in the barren mountains of Qingzhou, the stars in the night sky became brighter and brighter, and the intensity of the cause and effect karma drawn by the Zetian Plate began to increase dramatically.

The karma in the body is rapidly passing away, in the early stage of Qi transformation, the late stage of refining essence, and the middle stage of refining essence.

In just a few breaths, Bai Zhao fell directly from the Qi Transformation Realm to a demon who had not yet entered the realm of cultivation.

If it weren't for the protection of the magical treasure, he wouldn't even be able to maintain his human form at this moment.

With the disappearance of cause and effect karma, the eyes of the stars that overlooked the world dimmed quietly at this moment, and the stars returned to their supreme and majestic gazes and moved away from this barren mountain.

The terrifying pressure disappeared, and the great demons whose bodies were buried in the ground showed relieved expressions on their faces.

"The Supreme Daoist did not punish us."

"He left many legends ten thousand years ago. His cultivation must have been further improved ten thousand years later. How could such a great man care about us little characters?"

"If that damned Bai Zhao hadn't traced the cause and effect, how could the Supreme Daoist have lowered his gaze?"

"The strange vision that covered the entire starry sky just now was just a glance for the Supreme Daoist in his spare time. He didn't take it to heart at all."

The monsters had reached a consensus among their discussion, that is, the Supreme Taoist did not take them seriously at all, so they were able to survive.

While celebrating their survival, all the great demons who had transformed into gods began to realize that the Supreme Taoist's existence would affect the situation in the entire Xuanhuang Realm.

In particular, the disputes between the various ancient Taoist sects will inevitably change due to the appearance of the Supreme Taoist Son.

"We must report this to our clan's ancestors!"

The same thought appeared in the minds of many great demons who had reached the state of spiritual transformation.

“By the way, the Supreme Daoist never cared about us, but Bai Zhao is the reincarnation of the Demon Saint, and his identity is different from ours.

And it was his actions that attracted the attention of the Supreme Daoist. How is Bai Zhao now?"

The voice of a great demon in the form of a spirit was heard.

All the great demons who had transformed into gods were stunned, and then looked in the direction of the barren mountain.

But when their eyes fell on where Bai Zhao was, they found that Bai Zhao had disappeared without a trace.

The Dead Wood Demon looked at the space in front of him, a faint light flashed in his eyes and said in a deep voice:

"It's a small teleportation order, which can cross hundreds of miles of space in an instant. Bai Zhao must have escaped hundreds of miles away by now.

However, his aura has fallen to the point where he is not even at the initial stage of refining essence. He must have been punished by the Supreme Daoist."

The tiger demon said with a murderous look on his face: "He was lucky not to die on the spot after angering the Supreme Taoist."

"Don't let me catch him, or I will tear him apart on the spot, no matter if he's a demon saint or a demon god!"

Hundreds of miles away, Bai Zhao, lying on the ground, barely put away the small teleportation order, his pale face filled with regret.

“It’s over. The karma is gone, and the foundation has been destroyed. I don’t know how long it will take to rebuild the spirit.

If I didn't have some remaining demonic power in my body, I wouldn't even be able to activate the Small Teleportation Order."

Taking a deep breath, Bai Zhao took out a few pills from his storage ring and swallowed them with difficulty, and a hint of color returned to his face.

“Although everything has to start all over again, I am thankful that the Supreme Daoist did not punish me, so my life was barely saved.

But those great spirit-transforming demons will definitely not give up, and even the demon realm behind them will take action. It seems that they can no longer stay in Daxia."

Looking towards the east, Bai Zhao whispered to himself:

“I heard that the situation in Yingzhou is in chaos, with various shrines fighting each other, and the Demon King of Mount Oe and the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons wreaking havoc on the world.

Leaving Daxia and seeking more karma, Yingzhou should be a good place to go. "

After barely mustering up some energy, Bai Zhao prepared to leave Qingzhou and head for Yingzhou overnight.

He stood up and habitually used the method of deduction to find the most suitable way to escape, but the next moment Bai Zhao's face suddenly changed.

"Wait a minute, where is my Zetian Plate?"

In the secret courtyard, Shen Yuan looked at the golden compass falling from the starlight and fell into deep thought.
