Upon hearing Han Wenxin’s words, Ye Chen’s heart stirred slightly. He also looked at the old man and said, "Without fate, there is no result; when the opportunity does not align, there is no effect. Cause and effect, Samsara, where there is cause, there is result."
"Oh?" Hearing Ye Chen’s words, the old man’s eyes lit up, and he even looked at Ye Chen with so excitent.
At this mont, Han Wenxin continued speaking in the Samsara Graveyard, and Ye Chen continued, "Today you fish here, but the fish do not bite, and you do not lift the rod. It seems there is neither cause nor effect, but in truth, the cause is planted for future results."
"What do you an by that?"
The old man grew more excited upon hearing this, looking at Ye Chen and asking eagerly.
"Sir, you plant causes of non-action, thus reaping the results of tranquility."
Ye Chen recited Han Wenxin’s words one by one, and the old man’s expression beca even more excited, even standing up involuntarily, waving his hands and stomping his feet.
"Since that is the case, let ask you, if I wish to beco a friend despite the age difference, is there cause, is there effect?"
"Friend despite age difference?"
Ye Chen was taken aback. The old man was already quite aged, his life hanging by a thread, and becoming friends despite the age difference seed pointless. Moreover, his words were rely a reiteration of Han Wenxin’s words; the old man’s desire to befriend him actually arose because of Han Wenxin. If he agreed, would it not be deceiving the old man?
Just when Ye Chen was about to refuse, Han Wenxin’s voice rang out again, "Agree to him; this old man has a special identity."
"Special identity..."
Ye Chen’s heart moved slightly, and Han Wenxin’s words ca again. Ye Chen’s expression turned peculiar, and he said, "There is of course cause and effect in our friendship despite the age gap, but I am inactive, and you are inactive; the cause and effect are minimal."
"So it is, so it is."
The old man smiled imdiately upon hearing this, stroking his long eyebrows, and looked at Ye Chen with a laugh, "Since that’s the case, you and I are friends, and henceforth, I shall call you little brother."
"Old brother."
Ye Chen, not standing on ceremony, clasped his fist to the old man as he spoke.
"Haha, good!"
The old man, upon seeing this, beca excited, stood up imdiately, and extended his hand to Ye Chen, "Today I’m happy to et soone who understands . Let’s go drink together."
"Alright."
Ye Chen agreed without hesitation.
At that mont, however, the old man’s expression suddenly froze, and he looked deeply toward the base of the mountain, "Soone’s coming."
"Soone?"
Ye Chen, hearing this, couldn’t help but look in the direction of the old man’s gaze but found no one there, thinking the old man might be seeing things.
"Old brother, you must be mistaken... Where is the person?"
Ye Chen turned around, only to find that the old man’s figure had disappeared without a trace, causing him to frown. The old man’s appearance was peculiar, and so was his disappearance.
The old man kept talking about karma, which was incomprehensible to Ye Chen and clearly very mysterious. Seeing the old man here today, Ye Chen wondered if he would et him again soday.
Shaking his head, Ye Chen suppressed that thought, no longer hesitating, and looked toward the summit of Cloud Gazing Peak.
At the mountain’s peak, the grand hall of Cloud Gazing Peak was shrouded in Hongng mist, enveloping the summit, making it look ethereal and extraordinary.
Ye Chen did not forget his purpose for coming here. He wanted to et Zhou Jiu Tong. Although he had spent so ti conversing with the mysterious old man, he still needed to go.
With that, Ye Chen made his way toward the peak.
At that mont, Ye Chen failed to notice a figure slowly erging in the direction the old man had gazed at earlier: it was Lei Rong.
"This fellow Ye Chen, I suspected sothing strange about him for a long ti. Now that he’s heading to Cloud Gazing Peak, I wonder what his intentions are. I need to have a good look!"
Lei Rong’s expression was treacherous. He had learned in the past few days that Ye Chen was looking everywhere for information about the Sacred Origin Heart, convinced that Ye Chen’s intentions for joining the Six Paths Sect were not pure.
After learning that Ye Chen was turned away by Wu Duan Cang, Lei Rong guessed that Ye Chen would definitely co to Cloud Gazing Peak. After all, in the entire sect, only the sect master and grand elder Zhou Jiu Tong knew the true secrets of the Sacred Origin Heart.
So Lei Rong quietly ca to Cloud Gazing Peak and was able to detect traces of Ye Chen’s presence. He quietly made his way up the mountain.
Reaching the summit of Cloud Gazing Peak, Ye Chen could see the outline of the grand hall through the vast and indistinct Hongng mist. He wanted to reach the hall but found that the peak was surrounded by an extrely powerful seal, blocking the path forward.
Clearly, this place was sealed by Zhou Jiu Tong, likely allowing entry only to those of equal strength, like the Grand Elders, who could et with Zhou Jiu Tong.
At this mont, looking at the pale blue seal, filled with endless, omnipresent runes that shimred with brilliance, bearing a profound and mysterious aura, Ye Chen frowned slightly.
Despite the barrier, Ye Chen was adamant about the Sacred Origin Heart and determined to obtain information about it no matter the costs.
Furthermore, Ye Chen sensed rules similar to the Nine Heaven Netherworld Formation from the seal. Many of the runes on the seal were indeed connected to the formation.
As the master of Netherworld Peak, Ye Chen had a deep understanding of the Nine Heaven Netherworld Formation. Seeing a similar formation, Ye Chen decided to attempt to break the seal.
Acting on his thought imdiately, Ye Chen hesitated no longer. He extended his hand, and runes began to light up in his palm, resonating with those on the seal. The light from the runes rged, causing the seal to slightly loosen.
Witnessing this, Ye Chen couldn’t help but show a hint of joy, "There’s hope."
In the next mont, Ye Chen swiftly moved his hand, and runes erged from his palm one by one, flying towards the seal. The seal began to emit waves of tremors, constantly loosening. The barrier in front of Ye Chen grew thinner, soon to dissipate and reveal an entrance.
At this mont, a magnificent and mysterious aura surrounded Ye Chen, the runes related to the Nine Heaven Netherworld. As Ye Chen perford, he continuously grasped understanding, starlight and the Netherworld aura gradually surging from him.
The barrier before him grew thinner and thinner, on the verge of forming an entrance. Ye Chen’s heart surged with excitent, and his speed increased.
Yet, at that mont, Ye Chen failed to notice a figure erging behind him, eyes treacherously intent and filled with murderous intent.
"Ye Chen, what are you doing!"
Lei Rong suddenly shouted in anger. Ye Chen, focused on his task, didn’t realize anyone had arrived. His body tensed, and his hand shook, causing a rune to err and land on the seal. Instantly, the entire seal erupted with imnse Divine Might, reflecting endless light across the universe.
"Buzz!"
The burst of the seal’s power engulfed Ye Chen and Lei Rong in terrifying shockwaves, leaving them unable to resist at all, and they were directly blasted down from Cloud Gazing Peak.
At the foot of the Cloud Gazing Peak, Ye Chen looked deeply at Lei Rong, not anticipating that Lei Rong would suddenly appear and ruin his plan.
At that mont, the Divine Might tremor of Cloud Gazing Peak’s seal alerted the entire Six Paths Sect, prompting many disciples and elders to rush over, dark shadows appearing all over the sky.
Clearly, Lei Rong’s appearance not only caused Ye Chen to lose his opportunity to break the seal but also brought trendous trouble upon Ye Chen.
