Qinglian Yu said calmly, "I asked all of you to talk to me about conditions. Why are all of you quarreling?"
"Master, what about my conditions?"
"Let me go first."
"Let me go first. I have a good idea."
"There might not be a good idea."
Qinglian Yu shook his head helplessly, "Asking you to talk about conditions is my compensation for all of you. But this is Yehai and I have my share of losses."
"Ah, Master wants to take advantage of us?"
"Stupid girl, what are you talking about? Why would I do that?"
"Shh, Master is angry."
Lu Yin glanced at the seven spirit seeds. Luckily, he didn't agree to marry them. They were too noisy. But it seemed like only two or three of them had spoken. There were a few who hadn't spoken yet.
Qinglian Yu looked at Lu Yin, "I cultivate karma, and I pay attention to the word 'fate'. Then, I will form a bond with you for this trip to Karma Sea. If you can fulfill all their conditions, I will accept you as my disciple, a true disciple."
Lu Yin was shocked. Disciple?
"Master, you want to take this thief as a disciple?
And a direct disciple? "
"We are just nominal disciples."
"No, we can't let this thief take advantage of us. I will talk about my conditions. Sisters, let me go first."
"Okay, you go first."
"Seventh sister, let's talk about something ruthless. Don't let him stay in Yehai. It's too dangerous. He can't even bathe in the future."
"That's right. Even bathing will make him scared."
Lu Yin didn't care about what they said. He looked at Qinglian Yu and was even more certain that his appearance in Yehai had something to do with this person. He wanted to marry a disciple and accept a disciple. He definitely knew that Lu Yin comprehended karma. Did someone tell him or did he realize that Lu Yin had broken the karma wall?
All of a sudden, Lu Yin felt even more guilty.
"Hey, thief, I'm going to talk about my conditions."
Lu Yin looked at the seven spirit seeds, "Okay, I'm listening."
"You can beg for mercy or I can change my conditions. Let me tell you, my conditions are very difficult and you can't complete them." The girl provoked.
Lu Yin's eyes flashed, "You are Qinglian Yu's disciple. I'm sure your conditions won't go against the heavens and you won't purposely make things difficult for me. If you want me to become a girl, I won't be able to complete them."
"Hmph, don't use words to suppress me. I'm not as despicable as you."
"Listen carefully. My conditions are."
"Let Lu Sizhan, the leader of the Donglin Sword Gate, become the Swordmaster of the Four Lin Sword Gate."
Lu Yin frowned. Donglin Sword Gate?
The Head of the Swords of the Four Kings?
Never heard of it.
"Seventh Sister, you're too ruthless. How could he possibly complete it?"
"Good job, Seventh Sister. You really didn't let me down."
"What a pity. If I had known, I would have come. Wouldn't it be better to let this little thief do a few more things for us and then let him fail?"
"Right, how could I forget?
My sisters didn't even remind me. It's too easy for him to fail just like that. Master, can I change the conditions? "
Qinglian Yu said indifferently, "You have the right to change the condition. However, he might not be unable to fulfill this condition."
"What?
Can he do it? "
"That's impossible."
"Master, he is so powerful …"
Uppermost Lotus smiled at Lu Yin, "I'm just saying that it's possible to complete it. Naturally, it's also possible to fail. Lu Yin, are you willing to accept this condition?"
Lu Yin was cautious. "Can I say no?"
"No."
Lu Yin was speechless. Then why are you asking?
"Alright.
I don't believe he can complete this condition. Master, I'm sure. This is it. "
Uppermost Lotus nodded. "Alright, then you can leave first."
The seven spirit seeds looked at Lu Yin and flew away one by one without saying anything else.
They wanted to see what kind of ability this person had to be able to catch Uppermost Lotus' eye and be accepted as a disciple.
The Head of Swords of the Four Lin Sword Gate was famous throughout the entire Jiuxiao Universe.
After the seven spirit seeds left, Lu Yin's expression became more solemn. He was going to face Uppermost Lotus alone.
Uppermost Lotus looked at Lu Yin. "Do you know what the Head of Swords of the Four Lin Sword Gate is?"
Lu Yin said respectfully, "I don't know."
"There is a place in the Ninth Heaven Universe that uses sword intent to nurture swords. It is divided into four directions: East, West, North, and South. Every once in a while, one of the three directions will complete one. The only one who can become the Head of Swords is the Head of Swords of the Four Lin Sword Gate."
"The competition for the Head of Swords of the Four Lin Sword Gate is a major event that will attract many experts to watch. It will also affect the structure of the Ninth Heaven Universe to a certain extent. The Dong Lin Sword Gate you want to help doesn't have a decent successor in this generation. Xiao Qi is the daughter of the Dong Lin Sword Gate's leader. It's understandable that she wants the Dong Lin Sword Gate to become the Head of Swords, but the Dong Lin Sword Gate itself doesn't have this ability."
"What do you plan to do?"
Lu Yin said, "I'll have to go and watch to know."
Uppermost Lotus nodded. "Then go."
Lu Yin hesitated for a moment. "Senior, there's something that I would like to clarify with you."
"Say it."
"I can't be your disciple."
Uppermost Lotus was stunned. "What did you say?"
Lu Yin took a deep breath and bowed respectfully. "I can't be your disciple."
Uppermost Lotus was amused. "You know who I am, right?"
Lu Yin looked up. "The Immortal Realm, the God of Defense of the Ninth Heaven."
"To be able to become senior's disciple is something that countless cultivators yearn for even in their dreams. However, this junior already has a master and is unable to become senior's disciple. I hope senior can forgive me."
Uppermost Lotus looked at Lu Yin. "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure."
"Your master is also an Immortal Realm master?"
Lu Yin said, "My master is not immortal, but in my heart, he is irreplaceable."
Uppermost Lotus sighed. "You respect your master. Good. Since you've decided, I won't force you. Let's change the promise. If you can help the Seven Lin Sword Gate fulfill their conditions, you can ask me to do something."
Lu Yin was surprised. "Really?"
Uppermost Lotus smiled. "Of course. I wouldn't have made such a promise, but since you respect your master and have a noble character, I'll give you an extra one."
Lu Yin bowed again. "Thank you, Master." After a pause, Lu Yin said, "Then, shall I go to the Four Lin Sword Gate now?"
Uppermost Lotus asked, "How do you plan to go?"
Lu Yin was about to say something, but he changed his mind and said, "I don't know. Please show me the way."
Uppermost Lotus smiled. "Do you know what karma is?"
Lu Yin's eyes lit up with excitement. He said respectfully, "The beginning is the cause, the end is the effect. This is karma."
"How do you understand karma? How do you use it?"
"I've experienced different lives and found that the end result was back to the beginning. I finally understood karma. With karma, I can see the past of others and predict their future. I can use karma to reverse the course of others and even extract their karma."
He didn't hide this. Uppermost Lotus, an ancient Immortal Realm master, gave him a feeling.
He couldn't be compared to the monster and the grass master.
Although he hadn't really fought with the grass master, Lu Yin had such a feeling.
Uppermost Lotus cultivated karma and was much more familiar with it than him. It was difficult to hide it from such a person.
However, there was one thing he didn't mention, and that was that creating karma required the Karma Heavenly Dao. At this moment, he had consumed far too much of his Karma Heavenly Dao, and it was far from being able to reach its original scale. Although the Karma Heavenly Dao of this scale retained the ability to create karma, it didn't seem to be able to do so.
Although Lu Yin could not compare to the Azure Lotus Protector in terms of the Dao of Karma, he was certain that creating his own karma was extremely difficult. His intuition would not be wrong.
Uppermost Lotus heard Lu Yin's words and praised, "You've only cultivated for a short time and you can control karma to such an extent. It's not easy. Even I have to admire you."
Ran Wen
"I don't dare. Please teach me."
"It's your master's responsibility to teach you. It has nothing to do with me."
Lu Yin choked. Then why did you ask?
"But since you have to fulfill the conditions, I should make things easier for you. Listen, everyone has their own Dao. Everyone has a different understanding of the universe and life. Even the Eternal Life Realm doesn't have an accurate answer. But for me, karma is the beginning, experience is the road, and karma is the end. This is my understanding of karma."
Lu Yin looked at the ground in a daze and recalled Uppermost Lotus' words.
Karma is the beginning, the path, and the end?
"You entered my Karma Sea. This is fate, so I'll give you a promise to fulfill the conditions of the seven disciples."
"Fulfilling these conditions is the path. Along the way, there will be karma."
"When you fulfill the conditions, your harvest, your growth, and all the good and evil you've done along the way will be karma."
"Karma is like this."
"I've told many people that karma is another world. If you don't understand karma, you'll never be able to enter this world. In today's universe, you and I are in this world. Since there's a world, there's also the unique operating rules of this world. Cultivation, fighting, survival, enlightenment, as well as love and hatred in the mortal world, all of these can be felt in this world. Naturally, it includes the most ordinary thing, asking for directions."
Lu Yin was stunned. "Asking for directions?"
Uppermost Lotus was serious. "Yes, asking for directions."
Lu Yin stared blankly at Uppermost Lotus. He didn't understand.
"Karma can be the karma of your path, or it can be the karma of others. No matter where you go, you can find the road signs that exist in this universe, and the road signs in the world of karma can also be found. Karma is the road sign, and karma is the end. It can also be the beginning of fate."
"That's all I have to say. If you can understand it, then good. If you can't, then leave. If you can't fulfill their conditions, then I'll personally seek justice for them." Uppermost Lotus disappeared.
Lu Yin didn't pay much attention to Uppermost Lotus' departure. He kept thinking about what Uppermost Lotus had just said, and he had a flash of inspiration. He immediately sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes to comprehend.
This meditation took him half a year.
Half a year passed quickly, but Lu Yin didn't feel anything.
When he opened his eyes again, he was excited. Karma, asking for directions, another world. How interesting. The path of karma.
He stood up and looked around. Only then did he seriously examine his surroundings.
Was this Uppermost Lotus' Karma Sea?
Everything was hazy as far as the eye could see. He could indeed hear the sound of the sea, but what he was most concerned about was the pond behind him.
There were lotus flowers blooming in the pond. They were very delicate, but now they were cracked all over. It was obvious that they had been damaged by some force.
