When he broke through last time, Jiang Changsheng directly went to the end stage of the Immortal Dao. He did not know if the place was from the past or the future.
Looking at the golden hall in front of him, Jiang Changsheng sized it up for a few seconds before walking forward.
“I reckon that some immortal cultivators will soon appear some distance ahead,” Jiang Changsheng thought.
As he expected, after about a hundred steps, a figure appeared out of thin air on his left and moved forward with him.
He shot a glance and could not see through the other party’s cultivation.
He suddenly hoped that this was the future. If there were many existences like him who were still exploring the Immortal Dao in the ancient Immortal Dao, how powerful was the ancient Immortal Dao?
The powerful ancient Immortal Dao had disappeared over the years. What kind of powerful enemies did the ancient Immortal Dao face?
The immortal cultivator also glanced at Jiang Changsheng. Both of them did not speak and continued to move forward.
On the way forward, more and more people continuously appeared, but there were not many. Moreover, Jiang Changsheng felt that they were at least in the second level of the Zenith Heaven Realm.
Not long after, Jiang Changsheng saw a huge ancient wooden door in front of him that was incompatible with the golden hall.
The Dao seekers came to the ancient wood door and waited. The door was closed, but no one dared to open it.
After a while, no new Dao seekers arrived. Including Jiang Changsheng, there were a total of 17 Dao seekers. All of them had transformed into their human forms and their origins could not be seen through. None of them was someone he had seen before.
The Dao seekers present did not converse, and the atmosphere was gloomy.
Rumble—
The huge ancient wooden door slowly trembled and began to open.
Jiang Changsheng stared at the ancient wooden door and looked forward to the next sermon.
When the door opened, a strong light burst out and someone immediately stepped in, followed by Jiang Changsheng.
After only nine steps, they passed through the area of light. Jiang Changsheng’s vision recovered and what entered his eyes was a lonely void with few stars. In front of them was an altar with a figure sitting on it. He looked old and his back was hunched.
“Fated ones, please have a seat.”
The old man spoke with an ancient tone, making Jiang Changsheng feel inexplicably sad.
Futons appeared in front of the altar, and the Dao seekers found their seats.
After he sat down, Jiang Changsheng looked at the old man and discovered that his skin had turned dark and was covered with blood lines. His eyes did not have any pupils, only leaving the whites of his eyes. It was a horrifying sight.
Jiang Changsheng was suspicious. He could sense that the other party seemed to have suffered a karmic backlash, just like when he moved away a piece of the ancient Immortal Dao. However, the extent of the other party’s karma backlash far exceeded his.
However, this also meant that this sermon would be about the Karma Dao.
After everyone sat down, the old man lowered his eyes and said, “I admire everyone’s heart for crossing all the difficulties and dangers to come to this dangerous land. However, the Karma Dao I will be preaching about might be a blessing or a curse. Are you ready?”
A woman answered, “Since we are here, we have naturally made up our minds. Besides, which part of the boundless world is not in chaos?”
The other Dao seekers responded one after another. Everyone’s tone was very calm without any fluctuations.
Which part of the boundless world was not in chaos?
This sentence made Jiang Changsheng think of many things.
“The Karma Dao is created for sentient beings. If there are no sentient beings, there will be no karma. My path is to steal karma…”
The old man slowly preached. As soon as the Dao voice sounded, it pulled Jiang Changsheng into a state of comprehension.
To steal karma, one first had to understand it.
The old man’s understanding and control of the Karma Dao exceeded Jiang Changsheng’s imagination. As he began his sermon, Jiang Changsheng saw countless karma ties appearing before his eyes. It was all the karma in this void.
Jiang Changsheng could even see the karma of other Dao seekers. However, this could not allow him to see the life experiences of others. He could only see the phenomenon of karma.
As the old man spoke, his gaze suddenly landed on Jiang Changsheng. Jiang Changsheng did not notice it because he had fallen into a state of comprehension.
Endless karma surged before Jiang Changsheng’s eyes, constantly combining and pulling away, creating new karma.
Karma itself could be deduced. To study the Karma Dao, it was indispensable to have the ability to deduce it.
Those who achieved great success in karma could deduce everything from an ordinary event. Even if they did not have any contact with that event, they could still deduce it.
Gradually, Jiang Changsheng began to comprehend a Divine Power.
Great Heaven Stealing Technique!
This Divine Power could steal karma, and it would not be detected by any existence. The only drawback was that he would suffer a backlash!
The magical effect of this Divine Power was to change everything about others without them knowing. It was extremely terrifying.
If the old man used this Divine Power to destroy the Immortal Dao, Jiang Changsheng would not be able to detect his existence. He would only wonder why the Immortal Dao suddenly collapsed.
Through the Divine Power inheritance, Jiang Changsheng also learned the Daoist name of this old man.
Patriarch Heaven Stealing!
Stealing from the heavens!
As Jiang Changsheng cultivated his Divine Power, he sighed internally.
During the sermon, it was as if Patriarch Heaven Stealing was teaching him the Divine Power alone. If he had any questions, Patriarch Heaven Stealing would guide him, allowing his cultivation to go smoothly.
This sermon lasted for a long time.
After Jiang Changsheng completely mastered the Heaven Stealing Technique, he opened his eyes and saw the figure of Patriarch.
Patriarch Heaven Stealing sat on the altar, looking extremely weak. He looked like he was in his twilight years, but Jiang Changsheng could sense the terrifying power contained in his body, making the karma backlash that could devour everything unable to shake him.
Jiang Changsheng glanced over and saw that the other Dao seekers had woken up one after another. He was not the first to wake up, but he was not the last.
He waited patiently. Since the others had yet to leave, it meant that the sermon had yet to end. Next would be the question and answer segment.
He continued to consolidate his karmic comprehension, as did the others who had woken up.
Time flew by.
After a long time.
All the Dao seekers had woken up. Patriarch Heaven Stealing coughed and asked everyone to open their eyes and look at him.
“The Great Heaven Stealing Technique can easily cause people to fall into oblivion. Everyone, you have to be extremely careful when you use it in the future. Don’t end up like me, living a life worse than death.” Patriarch Heaven Stealing sighed.
A black-robed Daoist asked, “Patriarch, can the Great Heaven Stealing Technique protect the Immortal Dao?”
Patriarch Heaven Stealing replied, “We can only preserve a trace of it. The destiny of the Immortal Dao is over.”
Hearing this, Jiang Changsheng was even more certain that this place was not the future, but the past, which was the ancient Immortal Dao.
Reality was normal. As his attainment increased, the number of mighty figures he brought from the past to the future who could keep up with his footsteps decreased, not to mention the knowledge he wanted to pursue. In the absence of a person who could teach him in the future, he could only come to the past and listen to their teachings.
The orthodoxy revival function could only allow Jiang Changsheng to obtain techniques from others and could not be comprehended from his own inheritance. For example, the Jiang Clan was his descendant and their techniques originated from him. If he were to listen to the sermons about the techniques of the Jiang Clan in the future and obtain their comprehension, wouldn’t it become future him teaching the current him to become stronger?
Such an idea was invalid and inconsistent with karma.
There was a cause and an effect. He could not be the sole cause and effect.
In the dojos he went to before, the dojo lord had all obtained the inheritance of the ancient immortal Dao, such as Empress Xiaohe and the Ten Thousand Buddha Ancestor.
Jiang Changsheng thought of the reason why he came to listen to the sermon and said, “Can karma condense into a substantial existence?”
That boulder was filled with strange karma, making him suspect that it was formed by karma.
Patriarch Heaven Stealing glanced at him and said, “Karma is similar to fate. It can’t be touched or seen. It can’t turn into a real existence. If there’s something that can make you misjudge, it means that it’s wrapped in karma and you can’t see through its essence.”
When Jiang Changsheng heard that, he asked, “What kind of existence can accomplish that?”
Patriarch Heaven Stealing was silent for a moment before he said, “Immortal Dao Saint Realm!”
Jiang Changsheng frowned.
He had heard of the Immortal Dao Saint Realm more than once. Every orthodoxy had their own Saint Realm, and the Saint Realm of the Immortal Dao was definitely not the Zenith Heaven Realm, but a higher realm that surpassed the Zenith Heaven Realm.
Seeing that Jiang Changsheng did not have anything to ask, another Dao seeker voiced his doubts. “The Great Heaven Stealing Technique has a cloaking effect, but using it will still suffer a backlash from karma. If the backlash is too heavy, what will happen?”
Patriarch Heaven Stealing’s gaze landed on that person, and his withered white hair fluttered in the wind. He said in a low tone, “Just like this old man.”
“Is there anyone who is in a more miserable state than you?”
When Jiang Changsheng heard this, he could not help but look at the person who asked the question. The way he asked the question was very strange.
The speaker was a white-robed Daoist with an ordinary appearance and physique. He possessed a subtle temperament that made it easy to forget him after meeting him.
Patriarch Heaven Stealing did not answer immediately, and the atmosphere became tense.
The white-robed Daoist stared at him as if he was obsessed with something.
After a long time, Patriarch Heaven Stealing answered, “Perhaps the source of the chaos is the extreme backlash of karma.”
When the white-robed Daoist heard that, it was as if he had been struck by lightning. He seemed to have lost his soul.
The other Dao seekers seemed to know something, but they were not surprised. They continued to ask.
Jiang Changsheng did not waste the opportunity and asked about his doubts about karma at the right time. The white-robed Daoist no longer asked questions and just lowered his head. Something was wrong.
After the sermon ended, Patriarch Heaven Stealing said, “Everyone, it’s time to go back. Otherwise, you won’t be able to leave when the karmic winds come. If you are late, you can only accompany me here and endure eternal torture.”
Everyone stood up and bowed to Patriarch Heaven Stealing. Then, they turned around and walked towards the ancient wooden door in the distance.
Jiang Changsheng was the same. However, as he walked, he felt someone staring at him from behind. He turned around and met the gaze of Patriarch Heaven Stealing.
“Don’t let down the inheritance and be wary of the lessons of the past.”
Patriarch Heaven Stealing’s voice sounded with a complicated tone.
Jiang Changsheng frowned. Just as he was about to ask what he meant, he saw Patriarch Heaven Stealing closing his eyes as the darkness gradually devoured his figure.
“Forget it!”
Jiang Changsheng turned his head away and continued to walk towards the ancient wooden door.
Very soon, he stepped out of the ancient wooden door. The orthodoxy revival function had ended.
His consciousness returned to reality and he opened his eyes. He, who had learned the Great Heaven Stealing Technique, was immediately attracted by the huge rock in front of him.
This karma…
It was actually the Great Heaven Stealing Technique!
