Chapter 417 -52 White Bone Sky Observation Relics

“Let’s see if it’s as powerful as the Frost Demon Lord mentioned…”

Looking down at the tower, Zhang Xuan was filled with curiosity.

The Reincarnation Relic Tower stood 9 inches tall, carved from Bodhi Wood, not too heavy, giving it a somewhat weightless feel. Upon closer inspection, each tile was engraved with Sanskrit script from the Karma Scripture representing the past, present, and future, making it appear as if it transcends time itself.

With a flick of his finger, a drop of blood fell onto the tower’s peak, paused for a moment, then slid off gently.

“Unable to Forge it… it appears to be claimed already…”

Zhang Xuan now understood why the other party was so generous. Such a precious artifact was readily given away; it turned out to be claimed by someone else, ready to be reclaimed at any time.

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freёnovelkiss.com.

Since it was claimed, he could only use it for a short time, which greatly dampened his excitement.

“Let’s go inside and see first…”

Knowing that direct Forging could alert its original owner, Zhang Xuan, feeling disappointed, lightly touched the top of the tower with his palm.

Whoosh!

In a flash, he was already inside the first layer of the Relic Tower.

It was a vast space, with a fingertip-sized rotating sphere floating in mid-air, darting around and emitting a faint golden light.

“Is this the White Bone Sky Observation Relics that the Frost Demon Lord mentioned?”

Zhang Xuan looked on curiously.

The relic in front of him, clear as jade, sparkled brilliantly. As soon as it made contact with his soul, it emitted three faint grey lines that extended into the Phantasm Space.

“This must be the Causality Line…”

According to the Frost Demon Lord, the White Bone Sky Observation Relics on the first floor allowed cultivators to observe the three forces of causality within themselves. By harnessing this force, one could rapidly comprehend the fragments of the heavens related to their own causality, thus eliminating hidden dangers in advance.

In other words, it helps one perceive causality and figure out how to avoid or escape it.

According to Buddhist sayings, the less causality one has, the purer their practice and the quicker their progress.

His soul spread out, following the faint grey lines, and in the next moment, a series of images appeared before his eyes.

It was Yao Chunwen and his grandson he had met in the Teleportation Formations of Wanxiang City.

He had some interactions with the two, and although they had been dealt with, some causality remained.

“This kind of causality is useless to me; it can only cause trouble…”

Misfortune is where fortune relies; fortune is where misfortune lies.

Zhang Xuan firmly believed that nothing in the world is permanent, just like when he was captured by the Blue Cloud Venerable into the River of Destiny, meant to be transformed into a puppet but not only did he survive, he also gained the trust of the other party and obtained the artifact before him.

But there are some matters, where excessive involvement only brings trouble, without any chance to convert into benefits.

Just like the causality between him and Yao Chunwen, no matter if they sought him out or something happened, it would only bring him trouble.

“Sever!”

Understanding this, his intention controlled the White Bone Sky Observation Relics in the air and slashed at the line.

Crack!

The line snapped, and in the next moment, Zhang Xuan felt as though his soul had taken a hot bath, indescribably relieved and his thoughts now moved much quicker.

Zhang Xuan was shocked, hardly believing.

“Is this what it means to sever causality?”

In the midst of obscurity, he could distinctly feel that there would be no more intersections in the future between him and Yao Chunwen and his grandson. This feeling was as if he had rid himself of fleas and moths from his body, making his soul energy much purer.

No wonder the high monks from the Buddhist Sect always sever causality and completely delineate themselves from the past, abandoning everything; indeed, it makes living much easier.

Amidst his musings, Zhang Xuan looked again towards the second line, and what appeared in his mind was a somewhat unfamiliar face.

“Is this… a guard in the courtyard?”

Zhang Xuan recognized.

He indeed had seen this face before, a common guard in the courtyard; he could ensure they had never spoken before, yet the thin line in the air was much thicker than Yao Chunwen’s.

This meant that the causality between them was even deeper than that with Yao Chunwen.

Just because he served as a guard here?

It shouldn’t be!

They had never spoken; what causality could there be? Even if there was, it should have intersected more with Sun Qiang!

“Sever…”

Feeling strange in his heart yet without much hesitation, he intended, and the White Bone Sky Observation Relic in the air also slashed down; the thin line made a “whish!” sound as it was cut apart.

Zhang Xuan felt a bit relieved, and looking again, he found that the causality line was not completely severed, but still lingered, giving a sense of unresolved strands.

Zhang Xuan frowned, and through his intention, he conveyed his doubts to the Frost Demon Lord and soon received a reply.

“Some insignificant causality can be easily cut off, but strong causality can only be avoided, it’s hard to completely sever… just like with parents and origin, even if you don’t want to continue, it’s nearly impossible to sever because you can’t change your birth, change your bloodline…”

“Oh!”

Zhang Xuan suddenly understood.

Some people, dissatisfied with their parents’ actions and sever relations with them, it appears as though they are cutting off causality, yet in reality they only reduce communication, the actual causality remains unsevered.

Because, one cannot deny their origins, bloodline, and life.

“It seems this guy is somewhat peculiar…”

Grasping this, Zhang Xuan became filled with curiosity.

The other party was just an ordinary guard in the courtyard, theoretically speaking, there should be little causality between them, and once cut, there should be no further connection, yet now it couldn’t be severed… clearly, there was an anomaly.

However, being unable to sever it didn’t matter much; knowing in advance that there was causality could allow one to prepare earlier, to better defend.

He continued to look towards the third causality line, which was also someone familiar, Bian Zhongwen, responsible for their drug testing.

Because of allowing him to test drugs, he met Elder Jiang Li and thus obtained enough Merit Points; the causal connection between them was deeper and the thread’s color was heavier.

As he drove the White Bone Sky Observation Relic to fall, hoping even a slight reduction would ease things a bit, he didn’t expect that just a touch would instantly break the line.

Zhang Xuan was a bit confused.

Logically, his entanglement with this Bian Zhongwen was much more than with that ordinary guard, yet the latter could not be severed, but the former was easily disconnected…

This was extremely odd!

It seems that the so-called causality is more complex than imagined; it’s not weaker with lesser contact, nor is it harder to sever with more contact.

Like some colleagues, basically without interaction, never even touched hands, yet they can affect part of your decisions, while some tea-selling girls, though deeply engaged in light conversation, skin-to-skin, can be easily parted with, never to contact again in the future.

It’s not that more contact deepens causality, nor is it that no contact means no causality.

Standing in place and reflecting for a while, knowing he could only inspect three lines each day and that they are random, not fixed, staying here longer was meaningless. Zhang Xuan gave a slight sway and entered the second layer of the Reincarnation Relic Tower.
