Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 332 - 332 316 Karma Touch_1

332: Chapter 316 Karma Touch_1 332: Chapter 316 Karma Touch_1 Lu Chuan glanced at the hole and said, “There really is something down there!”

He promptly released his Divine Sense to ensure there was no danger below, then he leaped into the hole.

The space beneath the hole wasn’t large, roughly the size of a room.

Lu Chuan turned his head to look around and found the place was very simple, with only a stone table and a sitting skeleton in front of it.

The clothes on the skeleton were tattered beyond recognition, indicating it had been dead for at least a hundred years.

On the stone table in front of the skeleton, there was an ancient thread-bound book and a copper tablet.

“Before, this area must have also been filled with the currents released by the Primal Chaos Qi, and yet this skeleton is intact.

He must have been at least a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator in life!”

Lu Chuan walked towards the skeleton.

The moment he drew near, a strange fluctuation emanated from the skeleton, and immediately after, a voice filled the space,

“I am Yun Zhongzi.

I fought with Old Man Huang Quan over the Primal Chaos Qi and after being seriously injured, I hid in this place…”

Lu Chuan was startled at first, but he soon realized that this must be a message left by the skeleton for whoever discovered this place, so he listened attentively.

When he heard the name “Old Man Huang Quan,” a look of astonishment crossed his face, his first thought being Grand Elder Huang Quan.

Of course, the message left by the skeleton was extensive, and he didn’t have time to ponder; he continued listening to the subsequent content.

Before long, Lu Chuan had completely understood the skeleton’s origins.

He also confirmed that “Old Man Huang Quan” referred to Grand Elder Huang Quan, whom he had encountered in the Island Country.

And Grand Elder Huang Quan was the founding patriarch of the Yin Ghost Sect!

A hundred years ago, Yun Zhongzi and Grand Elder Huang Quan discovered the presence of Primal Chaos Qi in a secret cache at the same time.

They fought over it fiercely, and in the end, Yun Zhongzi seized five strands of Primal Chaos Qi, while Grand Elder Huang Quan managed to snatch only one.

Although Yun Zhongzi obtained more Primal Chaos Qi, it came at the price of a lethal palm strike from Grand Elder Huang Quan, leaving him critically injured and on the brink of death.

After seizing the Primal Chaos Qi, he immediately fled to avoid Grand Elder Huang Quan’s pursuit.

The most dangerous place can be the safest.

After much wandering, Yun Zhongzi finally sneaked into the back mountain of the Yin Ghost Sect and found a hidden spot to hide.

Grand Elder Huang Quan could never have dreamt that Yun Zhongzi would hide right under his nose.

After years of fruitless searching, he eventually gave up.

But Yun Zhongzi, due to his grave injuries, found it difficult to heal.

Even possessing the five strands of Primal Chaos Qi, he couldn’t withstand the terrifying power of the Qi and couldn’t assimilate it.

He realized then that even if he escaped Grand Elder Huang Quan’s pursuit, he could only hide in this place and wait for death.

After gaining some understanding, Yun Zhongzi decided to use the last of his life to perfect a Divine Skill he had created himself.

This Divine Skill was his life’s work.

According to him, the level of this Divine Skill completely surpassed the limits of the realm he was at; it was a Divine Skill bestowed by heaven, merely completed through him.

In the end, Yun Zhongzi hid within the Yin Ghost Sect, clinging to life for thirty years, and eventually succeeded in perfecting this Divine Skill.

The Divine Skill was named Karma Touch.

This was a Divine Skill that killed using the Power of Karma.

When Lu Chuan heard this, he was incredibly shocked.

The Power of Karma is one of the most fundamental forces of the universe, mysterious beyond comprehension.

Everything in the world exists within the web of cause and effect, and nothing can escape it.

Such a profound and mystical force is inaccessible even to the mighty ones at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, yet Yun Zhongzi, a mere Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, had grasped the Power of Karma and even created a Divine Skill from it!

No wonder he himself claimed it was a Divine Skill bestowed by heaven, merely forged by him.

Karma Touch has no fanciness; once deployed, it goes straight to cause and effect.

The selected target will have all its karmic ties severed on the spot, reduced to nothingness, dead beyond the possibility of death.

Moreover, the use of this Divine Skill has no stage restrictions.

Lu Chuan, at the Golden Core 5th Cycle, could use Karma Touch on Nascent Soul Stage masters, and it would still take effect, instantly killing the powerful one hit by Karma Touch, defying the heavens.

However, there is one condition to using this heaven-defying Divine Skill: the user will bear a portion of the target’s karma.

This portion of karma is usually the matter the target most dearly wished to accomplish in life.

After the target’s death, the user must complete this dearest wish for them, and there is a time limit; this is the only way to settle the karma.

Otherwise, they too will be entangled by the effects of karma and meet a terrible death.

The higher the target’s cultivation level, the more terrifying the karma that the user of the Divine Skill must bear.

If the gap in stages is too great and the user can’t withstand the target’s karma, not only will the target not be killed, but the user will be backfired upon by karma and die on the spot.

Lu Chuan originally thought that a Divine Skill created by Yun Zhongzi, who was only at the Nascent Soul Stage, although definitely extraordinary, couldn’t possibly be that powerful.

But after hearing the description of Karma Touch, he was utterly shaken.

This was nothing short of a divine skill that could startle the heavens and make ghosts and gods weep!

If he, Lu Chuan, could master this skill, he wouldn’t fear the Great Elder in the future, and even Grand Elder Huang Quan wouldn’t be a concern!

Of course, the downside of touching Karma was significant.

As soon as one used it, one would have to bear part of the target person’s karma.

If the thing that the target person most wanted to do in life was to commit an atrocity, Lu Chuan would have to do it too.

Otherwise, he would be entangled in karma and die, not to mention the many things that were simply impossible to accomplish.

If the target person’s karma was something impossible to complete, it would only delay one’s death.

Thus, this divine skill could only be used as a last resort.

Otherwise, each use would be a life-death gamble.

Lu Chuan felt that Yun Zhongzi was truly a once-in-a-millennium talent in the Cultivation World, having mastered the Power of Karma during the Nascent Soul Stage—it was truly defying the heavens.

But it was probably because he was too heaven-defying that he had drawn the jealousy of the heavens, which led him into a situation where death was certain.

With Karma Touch, Yun Zhongzi was absolutely certain he could kill Grand Elder Huang Quan, but by then, he was already on his last breath.

Let alone using his divine skill, he didn’t even have the strength to climb up the cliff.

Therefore, he left his last words and used the Lotus Treasure Dais to control the five strains of Primal Chaos Qi, placing them above his hiding spot.

At the time, he already knew that Grand Elder Huang Quan had left the sect for a long time and had vanished without a trace, so he didn’t worry that Huang Quan would come to take away the Primal Chaos Qi.

He knew that with the nature of the Primal Chaos Qi, it wouldn’t take long for the area beneath the cliff to become a land of death.

The people of the Yin Ghost Sect would definitely regard this place as forbidden, and the only ones who could be sent here would have to be the sect’s enemies.

Those who had a grudge against the Yin Ghost Sect and could survive under the horrendous currents formed by the Primal Chaos Qi were precisely the conditions for him to select the rightful inheritor.

Apart from leaving behind this divine skill that he had devoted his life to creating, Yun Zhongzi also left a copper plate that contained clues about the advent of a Divine Fire called Sun’s True Fire.

As for the Lotus Treasure Dais, it was a treasure that Yun Zhongzi had gone to great pains to acquire—it contained a large amount of the essence of life, and had the ability to bind the Primal Chaos Qi.

It was precisely because of the existence of the Lotus Treasure Dais that Yun Zhongzi had been able to grasp the five strains of Primal Chaos Qi.

At that time, it was because even the essence of life contained within the Lotus Treasure Dais could not heal his injuries that Yun Zhongzi deduced his time was short.

And the fact that he had lingered on in critical condition for thirty years was also thanks to the essence of life within the Lotus Treasure Dais.

In his last words, Yun Zhongzi stated that if someone fated to survive made it here, they could take away the divine skill and treasures he had left behind, but the condition was to help him take revenge on Grand Elder Huang Quan.

Originally, Lu Chuan had thought Yun Zhongzi’s idea was quite naive—after all, Yun Zhongzi had died, and even if someone took away his divine skill and treasures, there was nothing he could do if they didn’t avenge him.

But the final part of the last words shocked Lu Chuan.

Yun Zhongzi also knew that he had no way to control the character or willingness of the person who might come to take his divine skills and treasures, and it was even possible that the person who found his items might be from the Yin Ghost Sect.

But he wasn’t worried that no one would avenge him.

Because he had infused the Power of Karma into the things he left behind.

Anyone who took away the items here would have to bear the karma of avenging Yun Zhongzi, and even the most powerful individuals would suffer from the backfire of karma, doomed to a bad end.

This was also why Yun Zhongzi wasn’t worried about Grand Elder Huang Quan coming back to take the Primal Chaos Qi.

Once Grand Elder Huang Quan took the Primal Chaos Qi, he would have to bear the karma of killing himself, and whether he did it or not, he was bound to face a dead end.

A wry smile appeared on Lu Chuan’s face; he had absorbed all five strains of the Primal Chaos Qi, meaning he had taken on Yun Zhongzi’s karma.

So, his only choice now was to help Yun Zhongzi get his revenge.

Fortunately for him, he already had a feud with Grand Elder Huang Quan, so taking on this karma wasn’t too much to ask.

Besides, the items left by Yun Zhongzi were simply too valuable for him, so avenging him was only right and proper.

Of course, with his current strength, Lu Chuan definitely couldn’t kill Grand Elder Huang Quan.

He would have to wait until he became stronger in the future.

Luckily, there was no time limit attached to Yun Zhongzi’s karma; otherwise, Lu Chuan would have been in trouble.

He walked over to the stone table and reached out to take the rare book.

As soon as his hand touched the book’s cover, the book transformed into a stream of light and entered his mind.

All the information about Karma Touch was etched into Lu Chuan’s memory.

He briefly went through it and found that although the divine skill was heaven-defying, learning it was incredibly challenging.

But having it was better than not, and once mastered, it would become his most terrifying trump card!

He then picked up the copper plate and, after examining it and finding nothing special, bowed deeply to the bones of Yun Zhongzi.

“Senior, I’ve taken on the karma to avenge you.

Rest assured, once my strength is sufficient, I will kill Grand Elder Huang Quan and let you rest peacefully in the afterlife!”

He then limbered up and a mischievous smile spread across his face.

“Next, it’s time to settle accounts with those bastards from the Yin Ghost Sect!”
