Causality Art, Causality Art—the greatest fallacy lay in that very word, "art."
He had relied too heavily on "arts."
And he had taken it for granted that once he learned the Causality Art, he could use the computational power of his Divine Consciousness, use Causality Art techniques, to perceive reality and deduce every secret and karmic thread he wished to know.
But that understanding was wrong.
And terribly so.
Mo Hua's pupils trembled. Focusing intently, he reflected on the Causality Divinations he had performed since entering the Great Wilderness, and gradually came to an understanding.
Causality Art was a great Dao technique that consumed divine thought to deduce the causes and effects of things.
In cultivation, it belonged to the realm of the "Void."
And the Void necessarily had to rest upon the Dao realm of the "Real."
Without the Real, there could be no Void.
In other words, one had to know the objective, specific present state of all things before one could use Causality Art to infer their future, fortune and misfortune, auspiciousness and calamity.
Without understanding the myriad phenomena of heaven and earth, without knowing the specific situation, it was simply impossible to learn the correct causality through Causality Art alone.
"Arts" were important.
But "arts" were merely bridges—tools that led from the Real to the Void, and ultimately brought Void and Real into one.
To believe completely in arts was worse than having no arts at all.
To blindly worship "arts," deluding oneself into relying on causal methods for empty deductions, hoping to perceive all things under heaven, was nothing but wishful thinking. In the end, it would only trap one in self-righteous assumptions.
After reflecting on it, Mo Hua quickly realized that this was precisely the flaw in his deduction of the Heaven Earth Man
