I Didn't Even Know I Was This Strong

Not only is Chen Lingling a pawn, but Li Muchen, a Peak Eternal Realm expert, can also be my pawn?!

I can't even imagine it!

However, he did indeed put on a grand show just now, and it actually sounded like the truth. But only Li Wensong probably believed it; Chen Lingling didn't.

Instead, Chen Lingling's disbelief made Li Wensong wonder if she hadn't passed the test and wasn't worthy of being his pawn.

I really want to see what's inside that brain...

Under Li Wensong's intense gaze, Lu Qing'an coughed and continued to drink his tea.

"I didn't expect that. You really are the one who understands me best." Lu Qing'an said this with a little guilt, but in order to get Li Wensong to continue to help him deceive more subordinates and do things, he felt it was necessary to go along with Li Wensong's strange thought process and keep up the act.

Although he cannot orchestrate the Nine Directions and Ten Domains or possess the means of Rule of Cause and Effect, in terms of strength, he is still a top-tier existence within the entire Nine Directions and Ten Domains.

If all their cultivation were extracted and they fought against the Peak Eternal Realm expert, it would be impossible to predict who would survive.

Upon hearing this, a smile spread across Li Wensong's face.

I knew it!!!

"Hehe, it's not that I know you, it's that you deliberately let me know!" Li Wensong promptly flattered him, feeling quite pleased with himself.

Lu Qing'an said, "There's nothing else for you to do, so just keep yourself busy with your own things."

Upon hearing this, Li Wensong seemed to ponder for a moment, then nodded. "Alright! Brother Lu, I'll go take care of my own business now! If you need anything else, just let me know! I'm always available!"

"Okay, go ahead." Lu Qing'an dismissed Li Wensong.

Only after Li Wensong had truly left did he put down his teacup, his calm expression vanish, and he shook his head silently.

"That's quite a unique brain!"

However, sending Li Wensong to see Chen Lingling this time was indeed fruitful!

"I never imagined Jin Lin would have such a use! We must take Jin Lin to the Fallen God Sea Fallen God Sea! Let's change things up there! Perhaps the items we obtain Fallen God Sea will be of a higher grade! For example, the Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone mine! Could we discover a high-level Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone mine?!"

After cultivating for a while, he discovered that the higher his soul strength, the more astonishingly many Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone he consumed.

If I really want to raise my soul strength to the Eternal Realm, I'm afraid the only way is to cultivate a high-level Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone mine to ensure a continuous supply!

"Exactly! What Li Wensong is thinking does sound plausible! If I didn't know perfectly well that I'm not some Peak Eternal Realm expert who has mastered the Rule of Cause and Effect, I would have believed his nonsense!"

Li Wensong really connected all the dots!

What kind of mind could possibly connect all that together?

Even he himself, after hearing the analysis of this series of events, couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, "Holy crap, I didn't know you were this awesome!"

"If only I were really that awesome." Lu Qing'an shook his head and smiled.

On the other side.

After leaving the Eternal Night Continent, Chen Lingling met Lianxin in the outer realms and then asked Lianxin to help her teleport away from this star field.

She went to a familiar mid-level star field, found a deserted place, and then took out the communication artifact she used to contact Li Muchen Li Muchen contact him again.

I need to have another serious talk with Li Muchen!

This time, unlike before, she only needed to input her Power of the Dao Source for a short while before the communication device was connected.

Li Muchen looked as if he had just returned from working in the fields.

When Li Muchen saw Chen Lingling, he smiled and said, "Lingling, what brings you to see this old man?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Lingling's greeting, which was just about to come out, instantly fell silent.

Etc!

Senior!

What do you mean?!

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Li Muchen asked, puzzled, when he saw Chen Lingling staring wide-eyed and silent.

Chen Lingling blinked, and after regaining her senses, she quickly said, "Senior Li, didn't I just exchange a message with you? What do you mean by this?"

She was a little confused.

Are you kidding her?

It's very likely! I've heard that the older you get, the more playful you become...

Li Muchen looked at Chen Lingling with suspicion. "You just exchanged messages with me? When was that? I have no recollection of it at all. Wasn't it thousands of years since the last time we exchanged messages?"

Chen Lingling: "..."

"Senior, you, you're joking with me! I have something very important to do!" Chen Lingling rolled her eyes at Li Muchen.

Li Muchen frowned. "No, why would I be joking with you for no reason? You're acting so strangely."

Chen Lingling quieted down and carefully looked at Li Muchen. Seeing that Li Muchen's expression began to turn serious, she fell silent.

How strange!

"Senior, I clearly..."

Chen Lingling recounted the contents of her recent message to Li Muchen in great detail and vividly.

After listening, Li Muchen blinked, then frowned.

"Peak Eternal Realm expert who has mastered the Rule of Cause and Effect? You've encountered such an old guy?" Li Muchen's expression began to darken.

How did I get involved?!

"I've already met him in person! He certainly gives me the impression of being quite powerful, but the things he says don't sound like those of a strong person at all. The logic in his words is strange. He even said he can do whatever he wants..." Just as she finished speaking, Chen Lingling's eyes widened suddenly.

Etc!!!

Chen Lingling stared blankly at Li Muchen in front of her.

"What did he say?" Li Muchen, seeing Chen Lingling suddenly stop and look at him with a ghostly expression.

He now knew what had happened. It turned out that he had indeed exchanged messages with Chen Lingling before, but because it involved such an old man of such high status, he sealed his memories to avoid trouble.

He hadn't expected Chen Lingling to drag him back into this mess. It seemed he'd have to have a serious talk with Chen Lingling later, telling her never to mention this kind of thing to him again. He would seal that memory away once more and never interfere in this cause and effect again.

Chen Lingling's lips twitched, and her pupils trembled slightly.

"It matches up! Everything matches up!!!"

Li Muchen was completely bewildered by Chen Lingling's words.

"What matches up?"

Chen Lingling stared wide-eyed, her beautiful eyes like a pair of copper bells.

"He said he sealed your memories! But at the time, I believed that no one of equal strength could do that! But now, I believe him!!!"

Chen Lingling suddenly felt a bit numb in both legs and really wanted to find a place to sit down.

That's absolutely terrifying!!!

So it turns out you were the one who sealed it!

Instead, through a method she had never heard of before, she indirectly made a powerhouse of Li Muchen's level seal his own memories!!!

This... could this be the method of the Peak Eternal Realm expert who has mastered the Rule of Cause and Effect?!

That's so incredibly awesome!!!
