Chapter 305: Karma Mirror

What is the unexpected matter?

The many cultivators couldn't help but tense their hearts.

The matter that can bring the heads of the eleven great super powers together here, waiting patiently, must be a momentous affair.

Important enough to affect the entire Nine-phase World.

"Thank you all for gathering here."

The voice of the artifact spirit of the Sphere of All Beings finally sounded.

In the next instant, an isolating barrier formed, blocking all outside cultivators from peeking.

Within the barrier, only the helmsmen of the eleven great super powers remained.

These Wangxian Great Beings wore solemn expressions, sensed the artifact spirit's emotional fluctuations, and knew the matter was certainly not simple.

"Sphere Ancestor, what exactly triggered the Supreme Decree?"

The Valley Lord Qin Zhan of Eclipse Valley asked.

The so-called Supreme Decree is a pact forged by successive super powers and Wangxian Great Beings, created to maintain the order of this world.

The activation of the Supreme Decree signifies a shaking of the world's order.

A great event that threatens the world will occur.

To date, every activation of the Supreme Decree has stemmed from Black Mist.

But Black Mist hasn't caused trouble for a long time; this batch of Wangxian Realm members have essentially never truly encountered the Black Mist War.

"Could the seal have loosened?" Qin Zhan speculated.

After the ancient era, the Ascendants, led by that great being, fought a life‑or‑death battle to seal the Black Mist.

Later cultivators continually reinforce or repair the seal.

"That can be understood as such."

The artifact spirit of the Sphere of All Beings responded.

The Wangxian Great Beings' expressions changed: the seal loosened? If Black Mist breaks out, no one in this era could resist.

The artifact spirit said, "Not only has the seal loosened, but unbeknownst to us, Black Mist has already invaded."

"What?"

"How could that be?!"

The gathered Wangxian Great Beings could no longer stay calm, "Black Mist invasion? When did this happen?"

"Do you all recall the matter of the Bi Luo Yan cultivator Nan Gong Ya?" the artifact spirit asked.

"Sphere Ancestor, why does the Black Mist invasion involve my Bi Luo Yan?"

Bi Luo Yan's sect leader Nan Gong Xin's expression was icy, "Regarding the Nan Gong Ya matter, you all have participated in the investigation and have long determined there is nothing abnormal."

"Are you deliberately targeting my Bi Luo Yan?"

"The talent who transformed in battle is not only our sect's Nan Gong Ya; Bai Li Ming of Purple Star Emperor Sect and Bai Miao Miao of Qingqiu Fox Clan should also be investigated."

"What should be investigated even more is the self‑styled rogue cultivator Lin Chuan!"

Nan Gong Xin was very displeased.

No sect was willing to be tainted with suspicion of colluding with Black Mist.

"The Nan Gong Ya matter was indeed investigated, but not thoroughly enough."

The Sphere of All Beings trembled and tossed out a token.

It was the Supreme Decree of the Nine-phase World!

"On the Supreme Decree are the joint petition of the nine Wangxian Realms that guard the Grand Array of Living Being Purification, along with the signatures of the senior Guardians."

"You will see the facts at a glance."

"Our actions are solely for the world and its beings; we will never show any bias."

The artifact spirit's words fell.

The eleven Wangxian Great Beings acted together, activating the transmission on the Supreme Decree.

The information engraved on the Supreme Decree appeared, a rolling thunderous voice resonated,

"After the Grand Array of Living Being Purification test, we Guardians have exhaustively verified and detected trace amounts of Chaos material in the corpse of Bi Luo Yan cultivator Nan Gong Ya."

"This Chaos material was formed by Black Mist's self‑transformation; combined with Nan Gong Ya's prior abnormal behavior, it confirms Black Mist invasion."

"Nan Gong Ya's death is unrelated to cultivator Lin Chuan; Daoist Friends, please treat this rationally."

"We Guardians jointly activate the Supreme Decree, petition to summon the Immortal Weapon 'Karma Mirror', to trace all Shikong traces related to Nan Gong Ya, eradicate the Black Mist crisis, and snuff it out in the cradle."

The transmission of the Supreme Decree left the eleven Wangxian Great Beings with varied expressions.

In that brief transmission, too much information could be gleaned; a slight misstep would mean the annihilation of the entire Nine-phase World.

Black Mist not only invaded, but also gained extremely high sentience.

Should such a disaster erupt, it would be more terrifying than in the ancient era.

"Investigate!"

After a long while, Bi Luo Yan's sect leader Nan Gong Xin was the first to speak.

"Regarding the Black Mist matter, Bi Luo Yan bears full responsibility."

"Since the Guardians have activated the Supreme Decree, Bi Luo Yan is willing to undergo any investigation, eradicate Black Mist, and we cannot shirk our duty."

As a generation's Wangxian Great Being, Nan Gong Xin clearly discerns the priorities.

Targeting Lin Chuan now to shift the conflict would make her a universal enemy of heaven and earth; she would certainly not do that.

The urgent priority is to clear Bi Luo Yan's suspicion and eliminate the Black Mist threat.

Other Wangxian Great Beings also voiced their positions.

"Daoist Friends, with Same Heart and Same Qi, there is no dissent on this matter."

"Then let's begin the operation."

The spirit of the Sphere of All Beings issues the command.

"Summon Immortal Weapon! Karma Mirror!"

The eleven helmsmen of the super powers jointly offered a strand of Immortal Divine Power, merging it into the Supreme Decree.

The Supreme Decree manifests.

Rumble—!

Within the central space surrounded by the Nine Major Star Regions, a Spatial Rift is torn open.

A mirror materializes within it.

This is the Karma-type Immortal Weapon—Karma Mirror.

Like the spatial-type Immortal Weapon Sphere of All Beings, the Karma Mirror was also left by a great Ascendant from the ancient age.

It belongs to no one.

It requires the combined effort of the helmsmen of the major super powers and the nine guardians of the Grand Array of Purification to activate.

Meanwhile, the Sphere of All Beings releases the corpse of Nangong Ya.

The Karma Mirror showers a ray of brilliance, enveloping Nangong Ya's corpse, and instantly countless illusory threads fly out from Nangong Ya's body.

These threads fly toward all corners of heaven and earth.

The place where the most threads drift is toward the direction of Biluoyuan.

The Karma Mirror can reflect all karmic entanglements of a being, leaving nothing hidden.

"Sorry to trouble you, Daoist Friends."

The voice of the Karma Mirror spirit ripples through heaven and earth,

"Please, Daoist Friends, use the power of the Supreme Decree to investigate all beings and things that Nangong Ya interacted with in life."

"This matter concerns all living under heaven; not a single trace may be overlooked."

As the words fade, the eleven aspiring Immortal powers act simultaneously.

All beings and objects that have contacted Nangong Ya are locked; in this matter, even they dare not be careless.

Nangong Xin's expression darkens to the extreme at this moment.

Within the perception of the Supreme Decree, many cultivators of Biluoyuan have already been controlled by Black Mist, especially the two elders who escorted Nangong Ya to the Genius Battle,

Elder Jiu and Dan Tai Shan, whose Black Mist power is the densest.

"Scum!"

Nangong Xin erupts in fury, seizing all sect disciples tainted by Black Mist and conducting deeper karmic tracing.

This is a thorough investigation that shakes heaven and earth.

Any trace, however slight, will be suppressed by thunderous measures.

Within the Sphere of All Beings, Lin Chuan and the other super geniuses watch this scene.

Except for Lin Chuan, the other geniuses feel a sudden dread.

Such a terrifying event occurred, and they were completely unaware? If tainted by Black Mist, they would become eternal sinners—how dreadful.

The super geniuses' gazes simultaneously fall on Lin Chuan, their eyes filled with curiosity.

They recall Lin Chuan's sharp confrontation with Nangong Ya, and are shocked.

"Could Lin Chuan have discovered it early on?"

What kind of terrifying insight could that be?
