358: Separation of cause and effect!

"You… what did you do?"

Su Xi suddenly asked him with a look of horror.

Gu Jiujun and Soul Ancestor Hun Zhaoyi all looked at Su Xi, but they didn't find anything wrong with her; she was almost exactly the same as before.

Only when Chu Yun used his Netherworld Divine Eyes did he see Su Xi's abnormality.

Under the effect of the Netherworld Divine Eyes, Chu Yun detected that Su Xi's body was completely transparent, appearing out of place with her surroundings, and even seemed very incongruous with the entire Yuan Realm.

This state meant she had completely detached herself from everything in the Yuan Realm.

No wonder Su Xi's eyes were filled with such horror; such a method was simply inconceivable.

"Nothing."

"I merely extracted your Karma from the Yuan Realm."

"Thus, you and everything in the Yuan Realm are no longer connected in any way," Third Master said calmly at this moment.

"Extract Karma?!"

"My Karma, how could you possibly have the ability to extract it?!" Su Xi exclaimed in horror.

Soul Ancestor Hun Zhaoyi was even more astonished. Extracting Karma? A Great Emperor Realm expert extracting the Karma of a half-step Immortal King? How niche was that term?

"Those familiar with me know that I do not Cultivate Realm, I only Cultivate Karma."

"The two words, Karma… I don't even know what stage I've Cultivated to," Third Master sighed softly.

Su Xi now gathered a surge of power in her palm and struck it towards the sky.

However, her power directly passed through the sky, unable to cause any harm to anything in the Yuan Realm.

Even when her hand swept across the stone table in front of her, it passed right through.

She was like a transparent person; she could see everything in the Yuan Realm, but she couldn't interfere with anything.

This feeling instilled an instinctive fear in Su Xi. The Karma Dao of this Third Master of the Thatched Cottage was unfathomably deep.

In front of this person, Su Xi felt a deep sense of powerlessness. Although he hadn't tried to kill her, this method made her feel no different from being dead.

She could see everything in front of her, yet she couldn't even touch a single blade of grass or tree in the Yuan Realm with her power.

"Master, Su Xi has offended you greatly. Please forgive her."

"Could you please be lenient and not hold this against Su Xi this time?"

After thinking things through, the Shadow Empress also bowed her head.

Third Master looked at her calmly and said, "Empress is straightforward, and I won't say much about that."

"But Thatched Cottage is not a place where just anyone can act presumptuously."

"Empress, this is a one-time thing, it will not happen again."

Su Xi quickly nodded and said, "I understand, thank you, Master."

After Su Xi finished thanking him, her extracted Karma was restored.

Third Master, on the other hand, did nothing overtly, merely calmly moving the chess pieces in his hand.

"Alright."

"Little Junior Brother, you and the Empress, go and bring the Nightmare Monarch back," Third Master continued.

Chu Yun nodded, "I was just thinking the same thing."

"However, if we're to bring him back, where's the destination? We currently have no clues at all."

"If we just run around like headless flies, that would be a poor approach."

Chu Yun smiled at Third Master.

The latter looked at the smile on his face and naturally understood what he meant.

Third Master smiled, then said, "Alright."

"I'll give you a target."

"After you bring him back, you can go to the Stone Clan."

"They have clues about the Three Phase Society."

Upon hearing the name 'Stone Clan,' Mu Qianli immediately exclaimed in surprise, "The Stone Clan, is this force connected to the Three Phase Society?"

It was no wonder Mu Qianli was a little surprised, as she had a good impression of the Stone Clan.

Third Master smiled faintly, "They are not part of the core of the Three Phase Society, but through them, you can grasp the tail of the Three Phase Society."

"Stone Clan…"

"Originally, because of Xiner's matter, I didn't have much goodwill towards them."

"I didn't expect them to be connected to the Three Phase Society now. Since that's the case, there's no need to be polite with them," Chu Yun's gaze gradually turned cold as he slowly said.

"Alright, since so many people have come to Thatched Cottage for the first time, let's all have a meal before you leave."

"I'll cook personally," Mu Qianli said at this point.

Upon hearing this, Gu Jiujun and Soul Ancestor Hun Zhaoyi's expressions were relatively calm, not knowing what Mu Qianli cooking signified.

Chu Yun, however, immediately changed his expression and hurriedly said, "No need, Second Senior Sister, time waits for no one. We should hurry and go first."

Chu Yun looked at Su Xi and said in a hurry.

"Okay."

"Then we'll take our leave first."

After all, she was going to retrieve her own person. The importance of the Nightmare Monarch to the Dark Race naturally went without saying.

Since Chu Yun was so attentive, she was even more delighted.

"Let's go, let's go."

Chu Yun directly tore open space and hurriedly left.

Soul Ancestor Hun Zhaoyi, Gu Jiujun, and Su Xi also followed him, leaving Thatched Cottage.

Xuanyuan Heavenly Chen now returned to Third Master's side, fulfilling his duty as a guard.

"How boring."

"Sigh."

Mu Qianli glanced at the people who had already run off, said it was uninteresting, then turned and returned to her Peach Blossom Forest.

"Now that the Xuanyuan Sword has been retrieved and its artifact spirit unsealed."

"Your path is finally about to officially begin," Third Master said slowly to Xuanyuan Heavenly Chen, now focusing his attention back on the chessboard.

"Master, are you referring to resisting the Yuan Calamity?" Xuanyuan Heavenly Chen asked.

Third Master looked at the chess piece in his hand and said, "To resist the Yuan Calamity, the Xuanyuan Sword is a crucial link. As the Yuan Realm currently lacks Heavenly Dao, the Xuanyuan Sword can perfectly fill this gap."

"However, your Realm still needs to grow. For now, it's far from enough."

Xuanyuan Heavenly Chen also understood his current lack of Cultivation. He couldn't even defeat the Dark Monarchs of the Dark Race at the moment, so he had to grow.

But the current environment of the Yuan Realm offered too few Immortal Martial Realm Opportunities.

"Master, where should I go to grow?" Xuanyuan Heavenly Chen asked for guidance.

"Here."

"The place your Xuanyuan Ancestor once visited. His teacher is the master of this Star Realm."

Third Master tossed out a chess piece from his hand, which transformed into a Starry Sky Secret Sea route map and the name of a Star Realm.

Xuanyuan Heavenly Chen was still somewhat surprised. The Ancestor's teacher.

This was the first time he had ever heard of it.

Their Xuanyuan Ancestor actually had a teacher; this was truly a bombshell piece of news.

After receiving it, Xuanyuan Heavenly Chen nodded with a serious and earnest expression, "I'll depart immediately!"

"Go."

"Have a safe journey," Third Master said.

Immediately after, Xuanyuan Heavenly Chen tore open space and left Thatched Cottage.

"The people who needed to be arranged have mostly been arranged."

"Now, only that little girl in the Peach Blossom Forest is left, I suppose."

After Xuanyuan Heavenly Chen left, the Curse's conscious body appeared before him.

And the 'little girl' he referred to was naturally Mu Qianli.

"Second Senior Sister… she's quite special."

"Before Master left, he specifically Sealed the power within her body."

"When she fully controls that power one day, it will be better for her than any Opportunity," Third Master said.
