[You saw Wu Chonglou flying in from a distance, carrying the heads of the proud elites from just before, their faces still marked with shock, astonishment, and fear, obviously having been ambushed.]

[Wu Chonglou, looking at the corpses of the old monsters you had slain, said in a sinister voice, “Daring to touch the sacrifices of our ancestors, you’ve got some nerve.

However, the fact that you’ve offered up a Sword Saint is a pleasant surprise.

The ancestor will be very pleased…

hehehe.”]

[No longer hiding his intentions, he freely let out his favorite eerie laughter, and you and your sisters blurted out, “I get it now, you’re the Soul Hall Elder!”]

[“Hmph, so what if you know?” said Wu Chonglou.

“Ancestor, please accept the offering!” Although he was only a Semi-Saint, he waved his arms, releasing an endless stream of robe powder right before Xuanshuang could strike him down with a single sword blow.]

[Beneath his feet, he conjured a sea of blood, within which rose a towering figure.]

[This was a pitch-black Demon God, its presence far beyond that of an ordinary Sword Saint and filled with an ancient and powerful aura.]

[The appearance of the Demon God’s shadow caused all the powerful beings within the entire Sword Sect to nearly prostrate themselves on the ground.]

[“After a slumber of ten thousand years, today, I will finally be complete,” the Demon God’s shadow looked at the Sword Masters and Sword Sect members flying around within the ruins and smiled contentedly.]

[“We’ve been tricked, it’s the legendary Undying Mountain Master!

The mastermind behind the Soul Hall!” “The Half-Emperor Relics are a trap, ah~” “Run, the entrance is sealed off!”]

[The powerful beings that had come in search of fortune either unfolded their wings of light or mounted white steeds, seeking escape.]

[However, the vast difference in strength made it impossible for them to flee—like fish caught in a jar.]

[The Demon God’s shadow opened its gigantic mouth and, like a whale devouring its prey, reaped one life after another, its form growing increasingly solid.]

[Under the protection of Xuanshuang, who was also at the level of a Sword Saint, you and your sisters narrowly escaped, but your time was short.]

[The gap in strength between Xuanshuang and the other was substantial; the barrier of the Sword Saint Domain that she erected was continuously shattered and cracked under the pressure of the other’s power.]

[Xuanshuang had mastered the Mother Qi of all things and had also been soaked in the Yaochi Jade Liquid you provided.

Although she had just made a breakthrough today, she had already traveled far within the Sword Saint Domain.]

[Yet, even so, she was far from a match for this ancient Sword Saint—an old Sword Saint who had once been a step away from becoming an emperor.]

[The Undying Mountain Master absorbed all lives here, slowly approaching you, while Wu Chonglou yelled from afar, “Ancestor, please accept the finest offering I have made for You!”]

[You had no avenue of escape; death and becoming nourishment was the only end.

Perhaps you could choose to spend one last tender moment with your sisters in the final ten minutes.

You chose…]

[Ah, your gaze landed on Wu Chonglou.

What do you intend to do?]

[You stood up and pointed at Wu Chonglou, shouting to the Undying Mountain Master, “Ancestor, please accept the offering I present to You!”]

[“?Boy, what are you doing?” Wu Chonglou sensed something was amiss as he saw the Demon God’s true form actually turn towards him!]

[You saw through his true name: Wu Chonglou!]

[You successfully invoked the decree of destiny that contains the laws of heaven: Saying and Following · Causality!]

[The universe was reversed, yin and yang were overturned, and your causalities had been swapped.]

[You stole Wu Chonglou’s identity and fate, now you became the true Great Elder of the Soul Hall, and he became the false one.

This identity was real and valid; even a being as powerful as the Undying Mountain Master could not dispute your status.]

[You laughed loudly, “You’re the one who should die now, hehehe.”]

[“No!

No!

Ancestor, look at me, I am your descendant, You can’t do this~~”]

[Wu Chonglou wailed in agony, struggling in vain, but in the end, he was devoured alive, his very soul gnawed away.]

[Ah, but this was still not the end.

The Demon God’s shadow turned its gaze upon you once more!]

[His body still hadn’t completely solidified, and although you were now his descendant, he was still prepared to consume you to repair his own imperfections.]

[You were trapped in a desperate situation again with no way out, the gap in strength causing all your clever schemes to fall through.]

[At the moment of life and death, instead of panicking, you put your palms together.

You spoke solemnly to the advancing Undying Mountain Master, “My father, full of compassion.”]

[Your tongue blossomed like a lotus, bright with every step.]

[The gates of heaven opened wide, and the light of Buddha shone forth.

A dignified Buddha, from an infinitely high and distant place, cast down his gaze, enveloping the Undying Mountain Master.]

[Heavenly Defiance, it turned out you had seen it coming all along!]

[You had known early on that your biggest trump card in “Causality” wasn’t Saying and Following; after all, that was only a decree of the Flawless Level.]

[Your real trump card was the father you had only glimpsed once in passing.]

[You had long guessed that your true identity was no simple matter; you were ‘Buddha’s son’ in a certain sense because over the years, anyone conceptually close to “father” to you had borne the heavy karma from an unknown existence.]

[Rumored birth father Marquis Jiangyang, your nominal father Xiao Zhan, your father-in-law, the Nolan Family Master, your mentor Jing Kesou…]

[Whoever claimed to be your father had to bear the heavy karma.]

[And the karma borne by the Undying Mountain Master wasn’t solely from your birth father; he was your ancestor, and so the karma he bore was—]
