Chapter 399: Chapter 398: Causality Backlash_1

“Shocking Heaven Six Forms!”

“Stunning Gods with the stroke of a brush!”

“Prairie Fire!”

“Listening Thunder Talisman!”

A tremendous amount of magical energy hovered in the sky, stopping all the disciples who had rushed to watch the battle in their tracks. They all looked up to witness four elders each displaying their marvelous magic skills, and they were in awe.

“The elders have made their move!”

“This is the elders’ magic! How powerful!”

“We are still far behind. Even if sometimes I can elevate myself to the peak of Unification, I still can’t cast magic of this caliber!” A senior brother from the Refining the Void stage exclaimed with admiration.

Tao Yaoye watched attentively, trying to imprint these moves into her memory.

These were all materials that could be directly used in Dream Mirage.

“No, when using them in Dream Mirage, I should modify them. I can’t reveal the elders’ secrets to outsiders!” Tao Yaoye became extra careful.

Boom——

The four spells coalesced into one mass, aimed straight at Qiu Jin’an and Uncle Ba.

Qiu Jin’an shattered the Five-Colored Bright Wheel, allowing the Five-Colored Divine Light to break free from its confinement and cover his head to withstand the bombardment.

“Hey, hey, hey, are you aiming at Qiu Jin’an or not!” Uncle Ba, covered in dust and grit, looked as though he had just gone through a Thunder Tribulation.

“Sorry, second senior brother, the magic didn’t take aim!” The Seventh Elder apologized vaguely.

Uncle Ba burst into anger. “You’re talking nonsense, you’re about to burst into laughter!”

The Seventh Elder turned a deaf ear and continued to cast his spells downwards.

Seeing that things were turning for the worst, Qiu Jin’an had the Five-Colored Divine Light explode in the air and took the opportunity to flee.

Seeing that Qiu Jin’an had successfully escaped the battlefield, the River Spirit sighed, still wishing for more action, and retreated back into the river.

“This kid from the Five Elements Sect is okay in every way, but he lacks the will to persevere.”

Seeing Qiu Jin’an flee for his life, the Third Elder grimly threatened, “Old Qiu, next time you won’t be so…”

The threat got stuck midway, his mouth open but no sound coming out.

He turned his head to see, and sure enough, it was the Sixth Elder.

“Junior sister, could you not interrupt me when I’m speaking next time?”

The Sixth Elder’s beauty was breathtaking; whenever she appeared, no one dared to speak.

Seeing the Sixth Elder’s frosty face, the Third Elder instantly shut up.

She had just woken up from the Third Elder’s loud voice, and she was already out of patience.

The Sixth Elder sent a message to her senior brothers, her tone ill-tempered: “Done making a ruckus? If you’re done, I’m going back to sleep.”

She felt that her senior brothers didn’t have a single peaceful day. Couldn’t they learn from Laurel Fairy Palace and behave themselves for a change?

…

Qiu Jin’an rushed back to the Five Elements Sect at full speed. He had escaped from the Seek Dao Sect, but the backlash from the Single Body Curse Fist had yet to be resolved and he needed help to deal with it by requesting for help.

“After dealing with my backlash, I will help the Meng Family’s lad to resolve his.”

Qiu Jin’an parted the clouds to see a mountain range running from north to south lying in front of him. Here was the Five Elements Mountain Range, the foundation of the Five Elements Sect.

An array of five different colors wrapped around the mountain range, as though many stars were guarding it.

Upon closer inspection, it was not the colorful earth surrounding the mountain range, but the colorful earth pushing against each other. The part pushed out formed the Five Elements Mountain Range.

According to records, the colorful earth originated from five different ancient planets. The Ancient Nameless One refined the stars into the earth, with five different attribute stars forming the continent, colliding together.

…

“Lu Yang, are you here? I need your help!” After the battle, Meng Jingzhou climbed Sky Gate Mountain overnight to seek Lu Yang’s aid.

“I’m here.”

Lu Yang’s voice echoed from behind Meng Jingzhou, his hands holding a dozen barbecued skewers, savoring the delicious flavor, he had just returned to Sky Gate Mountain.

“What just happened? Why did Sect Leader Qiu come over?” Lu Yang kindly shared half of his skewers with Meng Jingzhou.

All from our own production.

Meng Jingzhou sighed, his tone filled with resentment: “Sect Leader Qiu sneaked up on me late at night, asking if I knew the Single Body Curse Fist. When I said yes, he controlled my body and wanted to give Uncle Ba a few punches.”

Lu Yang thought of Uncle Ba’s sunset romance. A few days ago, when he went to the medicinal garden to eat dirt, Uncle Ba had asked what girls liked most. Fairy Eternity said girls liked to be praised as smart and pretty, so he relayed it verbatim.

“Did Sect Leader Qiu succeed?”

Meng Jingzhou had an expression like he was constipated: “No, he got backlash.”

“…my condolences.”

Lu Yang thought of the belated arrival of Sixth Elder. The elder and Sect Leader Qiu didn’t meet each other, which was probably the effect of backlash.

Lu Yang patted Meng Jingzhou’s shoulder, hoping he would take it easy and accept the reality. What does it matter if you sever ties with women and never see them again? Being a single spiritual root, what’s there to fear?

Meng Jingzhou raged: “Condolences, my ass! What’s wrong with me being a single spiritual root? Even eunuchs can go to brothels, now I can’t even qualify for that!”

“Wasn’t it said that the backlash will fade after a period of time?” Lu Yang was curious.

“The problem is no one knows how long ‘a period of time’ actually is! Without Eldest Senior Sister around, I can only rely on her for help.”

“Oh, Eldest Senior Sister has gone out on a task and has been gone for several days.”

“Where did she go?”

“Do I look like the type who would dare to ask where the Eldest Senior Sister is heading?”

“Good point.”

“Wait, is it possible that I can’t see Eldest Senior Sister also because of the backlash?”

Upon Lu Yang’s consideration, it was indeed a possibility. He asked Fairy Eternity if it was part of the backlash, because causality was elusive and difficult to fathom.

Fairy Eternity looked at Lu Yang as if he were an idiot.

“I am right in front of young Meng. Did you see me get backlash? Although Meng’s backlash level isn’t low, it’s just a pipe dream for it to affect me.”

“Then, Fairy, can you help Old Meng crack the backlash?”

Fairy Eternity deliberated for a moment before she came up with a solution: “I never really understood causality, but there is still a way.”

“Please tell us, Fairy.”

“Young Meng himself can perform the Single Body Curse Fist on himself. As the premise of the effect of the technique is that young Meng could suppress the opponent, who now happens to be himself. In this way, the effect of the Single Body Curse Fist would become chaotic, thus possibly breaking through the backlash!”

Lu Yang: “…”

“Fairy, are you sure that Old Meng wouldn’t end up remaining single for his entire life if he punched himself?”

“Oh, come on. Is there anything risk-free in this world? Everything poses some risks.”

Lu Yang thought he better not tell Old Meng about the Fairy’s solution, as it would only add insult to injury.

“Eldest Senior Sister is not here; should we consult the other Elders?” Counting Seek Dao Sect’s members, with Eldest Senior Sister absent and Fairy being unreliable, the most dependable ones left were the Elders.

All are cunning and top-notch Unification stage practitioners, they should have a solution.

“That sounds good.” Meng Jingzhou could not come up with any other solutions for the time being.

Lu Yang told Meng Jingzhou to wait on Sky Gate Mountain while he went to invite the Elders.

Once all the Elders were gathered, Meng Jingzhou started practicing some technique, but it went wrong. He screamed in pain and rolled around, eventually disappearing as he tumbled headlong into a ravine.

“This shouldn’t be happening. I very clearly told Old Meng to wait here. Where could he have gone?” Lu Yang was baffled. Despite all the Elders kindly helping in the search, none could find Meng Jingzhou.

Suddenly, as if realizing something, Lu Yang focused his gaze on the Sixth Elder.

“Sixth Elder, could you perhaps go back, please?”

Sixth Elder also understood the reason, glanced around with an odd expression, nodded and left.

Once Sixth Elder left, Meng Jingzhou stopped feeling the pain. He climbed out of the ravine, branch stuck in his hair, looking extremely distressed and was finally found by everyone.

Lu Yang sighed quietly. Looking at things, the causality backlash was severe. It seemed that Old Meng wouldn’t get to see any woman for quite some time.
