Chapter 6: with translation of chapter title

「Hongjun has severed his own corpse; is that jade stone one of the fragments of the legendary Chaos supreme treasure, the Creation Jade Disc? 」

Zhu Qingyun, by virtue of his identity as a transmigrator, had some speculation about the scene before him.

「Brother Rahu, do you know why there are two Hongjuns, and which Chaos Demon God's reincarnation is it? 」

Upon first seeing the Three Corpses God, Rahu and Karma could not possibly know what Zhu Qingyun knows.

Moreover, Hongjun's cultivation has now reached late-stage Chaos Golden Immortal! Unable to fathom Hongjun's details, Rahu no longer had confidence in whether he could kill Hongjun, so he temporarily extinguished his thoughts.

Who knows what means Hongjun actually has, and whether there is another 'Hongjun' existing? All the people nearby, except Zhu Qingyun, noticed that Rahu and Karma were transmitting sound to each other.

Yin and Yang, Heaven and Earth, and Yang Mei three did not think much; on the contrary, Hongjun heightened his vigilance! He believed his sensing was absolutely correct; just now, Rahu must have generated killing intent toward him while he was lecturing the Dao! 「Karma Brother Dao, I also don't know Hongjun's details; let's first discuss the Dao, and when we later figure out his origins, it won't be too late to strike! 」

After receiving Rahu's sound transmission, the Karma Demon God's heart became clear; he understood that Rahu also had reservations.

Again, seeing all the divine sages awaken from their Dao contemplation, they also began to expound their own Great Dao.

「My Dao is named Karma; today is cause, tomorrow is effect. In my understanding, the Karma Grand Dao will be divided into several levels! 」

「With cause and effect, with cause but no effect, without cause but with effect, without cause and without effect! 」

「The first level: with cause and effect, emphasizing karmic retribution, unfailing cycle, called 'a hundred causes must bear fruit'; all your retributions shall belong to me……」

【You listen to the Karma Demon God's lecture on the Karma Grand Dao; your current comprehension of the Karma law rapidly increases; current mastery, 5%!】

【You listen to the Karma Demon God's lecture on the Karma Grand Dao; your current comprehension of the Karma law rapidly increases; current mastery, 9%!】

【You derive myriad Daos from the Way of Literature; you use the Karma law to inversely deduce the Way of Literature law; your comprehension of the Way of Literature law gains improvement; current mastery, 24%!】

……

【You listen to the Karma Demon God's lecture on the Karma Grand Dao; your current comprehension of the Karma law rapidly increases; current mastery, 21%!】

【You derive myriad Daos from the Way of Literature; you use the Karma law to inversely deduce the Way of Literature law; your comprehension of the Way of Literature law gains improvement; current mastery, 27%!】

When Hongjun lectured the Dao, he was after all only mid-stage Chaos Golden Immortal; while the Karma Demon God's cultivation is higher, his lecturing time is naturally longer than Hongjun's, amounting to as long as eight thousand one hundred years!

After Karma comes Heaven and Earth; he lectured the Dao for nine thousand nine hundred years! Zhu Qingyun, by means of this Heaven and Earth law, reached a mastery of 23%, and the Way of Literature law reached 29%!

Afterwards came Yang Mei, who lectured the Dao for twelve thousand years!

Zhu Qingyun's mastery of the Space Law reached 25%, and the Way of Literature law reached 32%!

After Yang Mei came Yin and Yang, who lectured the Dao for twelve thousand three hundred years!

Zhu Qingyun's mastery of the Yin and Yang Law reached 25%, and the Way of Literature law reached 34%!

Lastly, Rahu lectured the Dao; he first lectured the Dao for fifteen thousand years, and then spent another nine hundred years expounding the demonic Dao he created by drawing inspiration from Hongjun's immortal Dao!

Zhu Qingyun's mastery of the Destruction Law reached 28%, and the Way of Literature law reached 37%!

All six innate demon gods have finished lecturing the Dao, from which we can also infer the relative cultivation levels among the divine sages! Rahu is the highest among them!

As for Karma versus the post-breakthrough Hongjun, who is higher or lower? Although Hongjun did not lecture the Dao again after his breakthrough, Zhu Qingyun guesses that Hongjun's cultivation has now surpassed Karma, and even surpassed Heaven and Earth as well! Upon finishing listening to Rahu's lecture, Hongjun's heart also came to a clear realization.

Not only does Rahu feel the Great Dao's mortal enemy, but Hongjun likewise feels it! Given that Karma and Rahu are now clearly on good terms, one wonders whether I too could seek out a great divine adept to form a benevolent affinity?

When the time comes to cross swords with Rahu later, I can first join forces with him to help block the Karma Demon God; second, if the situation turns unfavorable, I can also have him ward off disaster for me. As my gaze shifted, I caught sight of Yin and Yang, Heaven and Earth, and Yang Mei to the side, and Hongjun's heart then began to scheme.

「Young friend, I observe that you seem to have gained some insight; I wonder if you would be willing to lecture the Dao for a while? 」

The Yin and Yang Ancestor naturally does not know Hongjun's scheming.

Gazing at Zhu Qingyun, who had awakened from Dao contemplation, he inquired in a kind tone.

Zhu Qingyun originally intended to refuse Yin and Yang on the grounds of his shallow cultivation, but upon second thought he understood the Yin and Yang Ancestor's meaning.

The Dao must not be lightly transmitted! If Zhu Qingyun merely participates in this Dao discussion as a listener, he will thereby have formed karmic ties with these six great divine adepts!

Is the karmic reincarnation of the Chaos Demon God so easily settled? Don't look at how these six great divine adepts are sitting here discussing the Dao in apparent harmony!

However, from the Primordial wilderness novels Zhu Qingyun read in his past life, he already knows that later, in the Dao-Demon Strife, Rahu will single-handedly fight Hongjun, Yin and Yang, Heaven and Earth, and Yang Mei four, relying on the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation!

The Yin and Yang Ancestor is hinting that by participating in this Dao discussion, one can settle the karmic ties with the various demon gods!

The several great divine adepts naturally also understood the meaning of the Yin and Yang Ancestor's words.

Heaven and Earth, as a good Dao friend of the Yin and Yang Ancestor, although feeling somewhat helpless inwardly, could not possibly go against him.

Yang Mei merely held an indifferent attitude.

As for Hongjun? Originally he was too contemptuous to listen, but considering his plan to befriend Yin and Yang and the others, he also did not voice any opposition!

Only Rahu laughed unrestrainedly and voiced the sentiments that Hongjun had never expressed.

「What a joke—merely a Perfected Great Luo Golden Immortal, not yet reached the Chaos realm; what improvement could his Dao insights possibly offer us? 」

「I think it would be better if this young friend surrendered all his Three Lights Divine Water to me to settle the karmic debt! 」

The Karma Demon God had just taken a liking to Zhu Qingyun's Three Lights Divine Water.

The Karma Law is originally one of the ten supreme laws; logically, its cultivation should not be the lowest among the divine sages! This is because, in the War of the Opening of Heaven, it was targeted by Pangu the Great God, nearly suffering total annihilation.

After reincarnating into the Primordial wilderness, if he wishes to rapidly improve, he still needs to repair several damaged true spirits!

An innocent man bears no guilt, but he who hides a jade incurs blame! Because Zhu Qingyun is weak, aside from being eyed by Hongjun, Karma also wants to get a hand in the middle.

「My Dao encompasses all phenomena, containing Destruction, Yin and Yang, Karma, Creation, Space, Heaven and Earth, and Fortune! 」

「I shall first lecture this Karma Dao! 」

「My Karma also has a stage—inverse cause leading to effect……」

Zhu Qingyun knows that this karma must be swiftly settled by himself! The Karma Demon God, in his past life, oversaw the Karma Grand Dao! If Zhu Qingyun does not quickly repay this karma, under his control it will only become deeper and more entangled!

Therefore, he chose to first explain his understanding of the Karma Grand Dao! And as Zhu Qingyun expounded the Karma law, whether it was the Karma Demon God or the other five great divine adepts, they were all struck dumbfounded.

Who would have thought that Zhu Qingyun, merely a Perfected Great Luo Golden Immortal, could have such profound insight into the Dao as to even touch upon their Grand Daos?

Immediately, each one gathered their careless attitudes and immersed themselves in Zhu Qingyun's Dao lecture.
