87: Chapter 87 Cause and Effect! Heaven has wronged me.

"To be praised by an expert of the Sword Sect, Miss Luo's swordsmanship is truly extraordinary." Jiang Han sighed inwardly, but he continued to praise her aloud.

This Miss Luo loved swordsmanship, yet her swordsmanship was exceptionally poor.

If you told her that her swordsmanship was poor, she wouldn't like hearing it.

Of course, one could not deny that Miss Luo was a very good person.

"How about you and I have a sword sparring match?" Luo Fuyi said, eager to try.

Jiang Han waved his hands repeatedly: "With my meager swordsmanship, how could I compare to Miss Luo's profound skills? Please, stop teasing me."

If they sparred for a while and he couldn't beat her, this Miss Luo would definitely draw her blade.

Luo Fuyi felt quite regretful and asked again: "Brother Jiang Han, why are you walking in this direction?"

Jiang Han put on a serious expression: "I don't know why, but I always feel that this direction... um, is especially... perhaps it's quite suitable for me? Maybe it's just an illusion!"

Luo Fuyi was surprised: "You actually have this kind of intuition too?"

Jiang Han's heart skipped a beat. He looked up and happened to see Luo Fuyi looking back. Their eyes met, and he said, "Let's go."

The two spoke almost simultaneously, and at the same time, they both turned around and left.

Jiang Han: "Since we both have the same feeling, it definitely isn't a coincidence."

Luo Fuyi: "When things are abnormal, there must be a demon. I suspect that isn't an Opportunity."

Jiang Han: "I'm afraid it's some evil demon or crooked Daoist luring people to their deaths. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall."

Luo Fuyi: "A lady also does not stand under a dangerous wall."

Jiang Han: "What kind of Opportunity requires risking one's life?"

Luo Fuyi: "No matter how great the Opportunity is, it's not as important as one's life."

Jiang Han: "Since both of us felt it, could there be some hidden story?"

Luo Fuyi: "Let us part ways here and go separately."

Jiang Han: "Farewell."

With a few words exchanged, they soon parted ways and left separately.

'These two... are actually quite cautious.' Yu Xiu was stunned for a moment.

He recalled the first time he met Luo Fuyi, when she said there was a powerful demon on Yunshan Cliff that she couldn't defeat. It turned out she probably ran away the moment she saw that demon.

'Jiang Han...'

The news about the demon on Yunshan Cliff was originally spread by Jiang Han. He had been captured by the demon on Yunshan Cliff, but not only did he not die, he even obtained an Opportunity from Yunshan Cliff.

Later, in the cave that Yu Xiu went to find, all the good things had already been emptied out by Jiang Han.

At the time, Yu Xiu guessed that this Jiang Han seemed to be a protagonist template. Looking at him now, he was indeed someone with Luck.

But to call him a protagonist template would be a stretch, because Luo Yuanyou was the true protagonist template; even the world itself stood on the same side as Luo Yuanyou.

'They are actually two very good subjects for observation.' Yu Xiu smiled, a rare occurrence.

It could be considered that he had good fortune.

Being able to meet one Luo Fuyi was already rare.

Unexpectedly, there was also an additional Jiang Han, which was even rarer.

These two were simultaneously guided by their own Luck to go to Guangling Lake, but they ended up cautiously choosing to retreat halfway there.

Yu Xiu wanted to see how the Luck on these two cautious people, who chose to retreat, would pull them back again.

And besides...

'It seems it's not just the guidance of Luck?'

Vaguely, Yu Xiu seemed to see the tugging of what appeared to be 'Karma' on Luo Fuyi's body.

'Karma?'

'What is Karma?'

Yu Xiu had not realized Karma from Luo Yuanyou. Clearly, everything had traces to follow.

Even for many things, one knew the causal relationships without needing to guess, yet he just couldn't see through the essence of Karma.

He guided Luo Yuanyou to go to the Sword Sect; this was the cause.

Luo Yuanyou giving up on the Baifeng Sect and turning to go to the Qingwei Sword Sect was the effect, or perhaps it was still a cause, and had not yet borne fruit.

Seeing that Luo Yuanyou was about to enter that alien space, he transformed a stone figure to go and block him; this was also a cause, but it was struck by heavenly lightning.

'Why can't I see it?' Yu Xiu was a bit puzzled. With his Comprehension Ability, he shouldn't be blocked by a mere Karma.

'What is blocking me?'

'The Heavenly Lord?!'

Yu Xiu slowly looked up and smiled: "Is the Heavenly Lord afraid that I will recklessly manipulate Karma and ruin the future process of the world purifying its turbidity? Or is it afraid that I will usurp the master's role and replace the will that governs the world's operation?"

Silence. The world gave no response. Yu Xiu didn't expect the world to respond either.

Because the world was not a living being; it had no emotions or desires, nor did it possess the consciousness belonging to living beings.

The world only operated naturally, following the results that were most beneficial to the world itself.

Just like how Yu Xiu had already realized from the Yin Demon that a 'Great Emperor' would be born among the Yin Demons within the next ten thousand years, and after that, the Universe would completely become an era dominated by the Yin Demons.

That was the process of the world purifying its turbidity, and the Yin Demon was the most suitable vessel for bearing the world's turbidity.

Therefore, Yu Xiu, a person who had seen the future in advance, should not have realized Karma.

Otherwise, if Yu Xiu recklessly manipulated Karma, there was a high possibility that he would change the result of a 'Great Emperor' emerging from the Yin Demons within ten thousand years.

The subsequent process of the world purifying its turbidity, which should have been 129,600 years, and the era when the Yin Demons would dominate the Universe, could all be changed by Yu Xiu.

This was the root cause of why Yu Xiu had never been able to realize Karma. In fact...

'I have long since realized Karma.' Yu Xiu suddenly smiled.

From the moment he saw that a Yin Demon Great Emperor would be born within ten thousand years, and that the Yin Demons would dominate the Universe for 129,600 years, he had already seen Karma.

It was the Heavenly Lord that had clouded his perception, making him constantly pursue Karma without success.

"Heavenly Lord, there is no need to view me as a variable." Yu Xiu slowly sat down on the ground and said, looking at the firmament: "As for the world purifying its turbidity, I might interfere with the process, but the result will not change. As for replacing the world's will?" Yu Xiu smiled: "The world's operation is too complex; I have no intention of interfering, so there is no need to worry."

He didn't care whether the world heard his words or believed him. None of that mattered. Because the Heavenly Lord could not control him.

The world's will operated by only following the best results; the reason it blocked his perception of Karma was that it feared he would affect the world's purification of turbidity.

Unfortunately, his Comprehension Ability was simply too high; even the world could not completely block his perception. He had realized Karma after all.

And afterwards...

If that doesn't work, you can just strike me with lightning! Anyway, I'm not afraid. Yu Xiu was indifferent.

'The illusions are all gone.'

'Is this, then, Karma?'

The world before Yu Xiu's eyes seemed to have completely changed. He could see invisible lines stretching out in all directions between heaven and earth, and invisible shackles locking the lives of all living things.

'Karma is also a shackle!'

He looked at Luo Fuyi in the distance again and saw two Karma lines extending from her body, reaching toward the distant Guangling Lake.

To be precise, one of the Karma lines was connected to a precious herb in Guangling Lake. If nothing unexpected happened, this precious herb was destined to end up in Luo Fuyi's hands.

There was another Karma line that landed on a Concept in Guangling Lake. If nothing unexpected happened, this Concept had a fated connection with Luo Fuyi, and she would have an epiphany within it.

'The Heavenly Lord has misled me!' Yu Xiu sighed softly. If it weren't for the Heavenly Lord clouding his perception of Karma, with his Comprehension Ability, he would only need to see one Karma line now to know everything about the future related to that line.
