Who is still a serious fox monster these days

Chapter 604: Taking on the Karma of the Universe
The Jade Emperor's voice was like a huge bell, reverberating in Chen Yuan's sea of ​​consciousness:
"I have taken in the karma of the universe, condensed the ten tails of impurities, assumed the position of the god of karma, and have entered the realm of heaven since then."

Chen Yuan's mind was shaken violently, his sea of ​​consciousness was surging like raging waves, and his soul was almost unstable.

His fingertips trembled slightly, and his arms were tense under the cuffs of his robe, with blue veins visible.

After a long while, he suppressed his turbulent emotions and asked in a deep voice:
"When entering the heavenly way, am I still myself?"

The Jade Emperor's response was vague and profound, as if it came from beyond the nine heavens:

"Yes and no."

Chen Yuan frowned, his eyes gleaming with divine light, staring into space, bowed and asked again:

"Please tell me clearly, Jade Emperor."

"After entering the realm of heaven, you can keep your true self, but you will lose your current spirit demon body, and the magical powers you have gained on the path of cultivation will also dissipate."

Chen Yuan's pupils suddenly shrank, and his knuckles turned white due to clenching, but his voice remained steady:
"Without magical powers, wouldn't that little god be at the mercy of others?"

The Jade Emperor's response was like the voice of heaven, indifferent but unquestionable:

"You have taken on all the karma in the world. Saints will not touch you. If anyone less than a saint touches you, you will die."

As soon as these words came out, Chen Yuan's heart exploded as if by thunder, and a huge wave rose in his sea of ​​consciousness.

After nearly 100 million cycles of struggle and despair, there is finally a glimmer of hope at this moment.

Taking a deep breath, he suppressed his surging emotions, and the divine light around him was restrained:

"What does the little god need to do?"

······
The northern part of the fairyland, a bitterly cold place.

The cold wind was like a knife, cutting the barren earth.

Ancient trees like dead bones grew twisted and gray-brown mist filled the air, and countless defeated wizards and liches were lingering here.

The ghost car walked barefoot across the scorched earth, leaving a trail of dark footprints in this bitter and cold land.

Before, she was flying in the air, and the great sage's pressure intimidated everyone, and no one dared to stop her. But now, she was traveling on foot, and she was bound to step into the territories of the wizard and the lich.

In the witch clan's territory, on the altar made of dry bones, a few dark green gazes swept past her and then turned away indifferently.

When she fought with the Phoenix, she had no grudge against the Witch Clan, so naturally no one would stop her now.

However, when she stepped into the demon clan's territory, something strange happened.

Strands of gray-brown karma rose from the depths of the earth and entangled her body like the hands of countless resentful souls.

Guiche paused, his eyes glowed red, anger and horror intertwined:
"These karmas...are they left over from the fights we had in the past?"

Her heart trembled, and a sense of enlightenment arose in her mind.

The phoenix has become the ancestor of all birds and is a true spirit passed down through the ages. Karma will not affect it, and her ghost car cannot enter the realm of true spirits passed down through the ages. In the end, she is still just a great saint of the demon clan.

When she fought with the Phoenix that year, in addition to the indelible karma she carried, there were also many more karmas that followed due to chain reactions.

Just as Chen Yuan released the Zhulong, the subsequent karma continued endlessly.

These extended karmas and causes did not end with her entering the Nine Netherworlds, but since she could not be found and was sealed in the Nine Netherworlds, she temporarily fell into the Demon Court.

She looked up at the sky, and deep in the clouds there seemed to be a pair of indifferent eyes looking down on all living beings.

"The Great Emperor Zhenwu asked me to return on foot so that I could take back these karmas...but why didn't he say it clearly?"

"Are you afraid of God's will? Or is it that the time has not come yet?"

Her thoughts were churning in her mind, but her steps did not stop.

At this moment——

"Ghost car!"

A deep voice like thunder suddenly sounded, the void in front of her twisted, and a burly figure appeared through the gray-brown mist. This person was wearing tattered armor, with a sinister face and lightning flashing in his eyes. He stared at her with murderous intent.

"Back then, you fought with the Phoenix, causing my demon court to bear many karmas. When we fought for the orthodoxy of heaven and earth, we were defeated by this. Do you know your sin?!"

Guiche was stunned for a moment, then he laughed loudly towards the sky, causing the dead trees around him to crack and break.

"Hahahaha... I've lived for so long, and today I've really learned a lot! Can the defeat of the Demon Court be blamed on me?!"

The laughter stopped abruptly, her eyes lit up with a faint blue light, and she said grimly:

"If I lose, I lose! I lost back then and was suppressed in the Netherworld, but I never complained!"

She raised her hand and waved it, and fire surged around her body, as if there were endless resentful souls wailing.

"But these karmas are indeed caused by me. If you want to settle the score today, I will bear the responsibility! If you have any tricks, feel free to use them!"

The Great Sage's eyes flashed with lightning, and he shouted angrily:
"Okay! In that case, don't blame me, the Great Sage, for being ruthless!"

Before he finished speaking, his body suddenly swelled up and turned into a Kuiniu that blocked out the sky and the sun!

"boom--!"

The Thunder Prison descended, and thousands of thunders roared like mad dragons, instantly engulfing the Ghost Chariot!

The earth cracked, scorched earth flew everywhere, and countless monsters fled in terror, turning into streaks of light and scattering in all directions.

High in the sky, a light green auspicious cloud was dispersed by the violent energy, and then condensed again in the distance.

Above the clouds, a boy-like figure looked down at the battlefield with a frown on his face, full of confusion.

"They can even start a fight? Is there something wrong with the brain of this Kuiniu Great Sage?"

After a little hesitation, he felt it necessary to report the matter to the master. After all, this matter was very strange no matter how you looked at it.

At that moment, he took out three incense sticks, lit them, bowed towards the east, and said respectfully:

"Master, after leaving the Undying Volcano, the Ghost Car went straight to the North Sea and stayed in the dojo of the great emperor for some time. Now it is returning on foot."

"When I passed through the territory of the old demon tribe, I suddenly felt entangled with karma. I don't know why I started fighting with the Kuiniu Great Sage."

"Don't worry about it, just keep following."

A response came from the green smoke. The boy responded respectfully, put away the incense, and continued to look at the battlefield from afar.

In the underworld of a certain world, a young Taoist priest in a black Taoist robe was walking along the Yellow Springs.

He walked through the eighteen levels of hell and arrived at the Buddhist temple at the bottom, where he made a vow to the Bodhisattva inside.

Under the Buddhist temple, the filthy karma that could not be converted and could only be suppressed turned into black water and flowed into the young Taoist's robe.

"Amitabha."

The Bodhisattva in the temple chanted the Buddha's name, his voice full of gratitude and doubt:
"Saint Turtle, be merciful. You are about to attain enlightenment and yet you are willing to bear these karmic obstacles. However, these karmic obstacles are stubborn and I have been trying to convert them for many years but have not been able to wash them away. Aren't you worried that it will affect your enlightenment?"

"The Bodhisattva is worrying too much. What my path lacks is these filth."

After saying that, he nodded slightly, turned around and plunged into the Yellow Spring, dyeing the turbid Yellow Spring water a layer of black, and flowed downstream to the next realm.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva chanted the Buddha's name again and looked at the black water flowing downstream thoughtfully.

The rosary in his hand slowly turned, and a Buddhist kingdom with a rising sun appeared inside.

······
In the twenty-ninth heaven, the Taoist tower hanging above the sea of ​​clouds suddenly emitted some purple air, and then the figure of Emperor Donghua appeared.

He stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the blazing sun in the sky. He seemed to have heard some words from the sun and said with interest:

"The ghost car went to the North Sea and began to absorb the karma of the old members of the demon clan on foot. At the same time, the turtle saint walked in the underworld and absorbed the filthy karma of the underworld. Zhenwu, Zhenwu, what do you want to do?"
