509: Chapter 70: Spying_2 509: Chapter 70: Spying_2 If the person who tries to spy has a very high Divine Soul Realm, then even if they control the Roundness Instrument, the chances of failure are still high.
Yan Xin, sitting in the Book Tower, can almost see all the events in the world.
However, there are a few individuals whom he cannot see clearly.
For instance, Zhao Chunyang, Xiao Yaozi, and even…
the Holy Empress.
Now that only a small part of the Karma Principle within Mi Yun has awakened, he’s able to see the scenes of Ren Shou Palace?
“The Karma Principle and the Sky Watcher’s spying on Heaven’s fate should be somewhat different.”
Xie Xuanyi spoke slowly with a conjecturing tone: “The Sky Watcher needs to use the Roundness Instrument to send Divine Thought to the endpoint of Heaven’s fate, whereas the Karma Principle is about fishing for ‘guidance’ in the great Dao River.
If I’m not mistaken, the former can see much more clearly, while the latter doesn’t require high realm restrictions.”
Heaven’s fate is like a veil covering everything.
The Sky Watcher lifts the veil personally; the more power they have, the bigger piece of the veil they can lift, and the more future they can see.
Whereas the power of the Karma Principle is more like communicating with the answers behind the “veil.”
If it were the Sky Watcher this time, the exploration…
would likely end in direct failure; their Divine Thought would not be able to reach Ren Shou Palace at all, let alone see a glimpse of Heaven’s secrets.
“The Karma Principle is so against the Heaven?”
Jun Mountain showed a shocked expression.
The Taoist sect, with a thousand years of inheritance, and each of the Seven Pavilion Masters hidden with many secrets, all covered with powerful formations.
There is Brother Xiao Yaozi seated there, with Chong Kan commanding the formations.
Taoist cultivators, they all believe their sect is as impregnable as a metal soup.
But are these methods really more ingenious than the Ren Shou Palace, which is undergoing seclusion and reinforcing its grand formation?
Not necessarily.
Now that Mi Yun is able to see through the grand formation of Ren Shou Palace and see the “light,” given some time, could he also peer through the Taoist grand formation and spy into the Taoist mysteries?
“Jun Mountain, although we have been rivals at every turn in our past life, in this life, we are allies.”
Very cautiously, Miao Zhen hurriedly warned: “Mi Yun is the hope for the resurgence of the Buddhist sect… You promised me, to face the difficulties together, and must not harbor any destructive intentions because of the Karma Principle.”
“Am I that kind of person?”
Jun Mountain was startled, then immediately understood Miao Zhen’s meaning, and with a sneer said: “You really underestimate people too much.
I’ll put it here, I will neither harm Mi Yun in the slightest, nor will I allow anyone else to harm him!”
Mi Yun has already fused with the Tanluan Buddha Bones.
It won’t be long.
The Divine Steps will also be cultivated to completion.
If the Zen Master passes away without any accidents, this little one who comprehends “Karma” is destined to take over the legacy of the Buddhist sect and become the next leader of the Fan Yin Temple.
For the Taoist sect, the foremost sect in the world, this is undoubtedly not good news.
But for Jun Mountain, it’s the exact opposite.
He cares about the reputation of the Taoist sect, but he cares even more for the “life and death” of his Senior Brother Xiao Yaozi; over the years, it’s Chong Kan who has held power, while Xiao Yaozi has always sat in Stone Pass…
After reincarnation, Jun Mountain has been constantly thinking about the news of his Senior Brother, but he never got any response.
This time, on his way to the Imperial City, he sent a message early to Yan Xin, wanting to check on his Senior Brother.
It’s just that Xiao Yaozi’s realm is too high, his strength too strong.
Even with Yan Xin’s bolstering from the Roundness Instrument, he still cannot touch the fate of such a figure as Xiao Yaozi.
But Mi Yun’s Karma Principle perfectly solved this problem.
Being able to touch Ren Shou Palace.
Perhaps, it could also touch the Taoist Tianyuan Mountain.
“Oh?”
Miao Zhen was a bit surprised.
In this life, thanks to Xie Xuanyi, the two old enemies met in a different way, seeing the sides of each other that were previously unknown.
When they met in the past, it was just fighting.
If it had been the present, they would have fought from the Qu River to the South Border.
But now, the two have spent ten days together in peace.
“So, using the Karma Principle must consume a lot of Soul Power, right?”
Jun Mountain blinked, wanting to slip away: “I’m going to check on Mi Yun, I still have some tonics on me.”
“Wait!”
As soon as these words were spoken, Miao Zhen reacted extremely quickly, a large hand pressing down on him: “You want him to use the Karma Principle again, don’t you?”
“…”
Jun Mountain cast a pleading glance at Xie Xuanyi.
Xie Xuanyi sighed softly and earnestly advised, “The use of the Karma Principle once takes a great toll on the Divine Soul.
Brother Jun Shan, Mi Yun is still young, it’s better to let him rest.”
How could he not guess that True Master Jun Shan’s biggest knot in his heart was “Xiao Yaozi”?
The Taoist sect hides from the world, the Sword Palace seals the mountain.
Over these years, the whole world has been guessing about the fates of Xiao Yaozi and Zhao Chunyang—
Not long ago.
Zhao Chunyang made a move, which dispelled the doubts of countless people.
Now…
this pressure has come upon the Taoist sect.
All Seven Pavilion Masters are eager for the Sect Leader to make an appearance, even if just for a moment, and the dignity of the Taoist sect could instantly step onto a new stage.
“Ha…
Is that invincible eldest senior brother of yours still in secluded cultivation on Tianyuan Mountain?
Are you thinking of using the Karma Principle to check on Xiao Yaozi’s situation?”
Miao Zhen felt that this situation was extremely interesting.
The Three Great Sects of the world, the Taoist sect, Fan Yin Temple, and Da Sui Sword Palace, seem to hold transcendent statuses, but in reality, none of them has an easy life.
Xiao Yaozi, Zen Master, Zhao Chunyang.
The state of the Three Sects’ Leaders isn’t too good…
perhaps the only one who is still in good condition is Zhao Chunyang.
But Miao Zhen knew in his heart.
If Zhao Chunyang’s condition was really that good, how could Da Sui Sword Palace resort to sealing the mountain?
Why would Xie Xuanyi have “died” once in the North Sea?
“My eldest senior brother is fine.
As the leader of the world’s foremost sect, how could he be in trouble?”
True Master Jun Shan muttered, but his stubbornness faded quickly, and his tone changed.
The Daoist robed child seemed to have touched a memory, his expression turning sorrowful and lost, murmuring, “But you’re right…
I do miss him.
Decades have passed, sixty years gone by, he must miss me too, right?”
“…”
Miao Zhen sighed.
He was one not to resist softness over hardness.
People of the Buddhist faith, for all their thunderous methods, must still possess a heart as compassionate as a Bodhisattva’s.
“Don’t be too sad, the worthy person has their own celestial signs.”
Miao Zhen thought for a moment and then slowly comforted, “Xiao Yaozi is a once-in-a-millennium genius, such a hero will not perish easily…
Once Mi Yun has rested well, I will let him use the Karma Principle again, to check on the situation at Tianyuan Mountain for you.
If it doesn’t work once, we’ll wait for him to cultivate for a while longer; with the Divine Power of the Tanluan Buddha Bones, we will eventually be able to lift a corner of the gloom over Tianyuan Mountain.”
“Is this true?”
Jun Mountain’s eyes lit up, still revealing grief and melancholy deep within.
Miao Zhen had no choice but to smile bitterly: “Of course it’s true…
a monk does not speak false words.”
No sooner had these words landed.
“Great!” The Daoist robed youngster swept away the gloom in his eyes, brushed his sleeves, and regained his nonchalant demeanor, calmly stating, “Good monk, you don’t have many virtues these years, but you are somewhat reliable.
Since you’ve spoken, I will be at ease.
On the journey ahead, I will properly protect Mi Yun.”
“???”
Miao Zhen was stunned for a moment, grinding his teeth, almost ready to strike.
Was all that sincere emotion just…
an act?
Was he deliberately playing with himself?
After calming himself for a moment, Miao Zhen was somewhat amused.
He didn’t feel too much anger, more that he found it somewhat absurd.
How could Jun Shan, being a Yang God, be so “shameless” after reincarnation?
Could it really be because he has fused with this life’s host Divine Soul, that he truly behaves like an impish child with no concern for propriety?
But…
the latter part of his words did give himself an explanation.
“A rotten wood cannot be carved.”
The tall Buddha’s son could do nothing but sigh helplessly and left in a huff, holding his golden rod and returning to his room for quiet cultivation.
The Daoist robed child rolled his eyes, not forgetting to give the departing Buddha’s son a middle finger.
