Like an Ant Beholding the Vast Heavens

When Li Muchen heard Chen Lingling's words, he looked at Chen Lingling with a puzzled expression, which resembled the face of an old man on the subway looking at his phone.

What the heck???

Did he seal away my memories?

I sealed it myself!

"Lingling, these are memories I sealed away myself."

How could I not know my own sealing methods?

I don't know the sealing method, and I'm also aware of my own personality.

I definitely did it myself.

"No, no, no! Senior, you sealed it yourself, but you didn't seal it yourself!!! Do you understand what I mean?" Chen Lingling's eyes were still wide open, her tone was very firm, and her breathing was a little rapid.

She never imagined how powerful a person would have to be to achieve this!

That's absolutely terrifying!

Li Muchen listened to Chen Lingling's strange words, feeling as if he had heard them but also as if he hadn't, leaving him somewhat speechless.

What do you mean by "I sealed it myself, but I didn't seal it myself"?

Is this even human language?!

Seeing Li Muchen's expression, Li Muchen Chen Lingling knew he hadn't understood her words, so she quickly explained, "Senior, let me explain it this way: what appears to be a memory you sealed yourself, in reality, was secretly controlled by someone else. What seems like a decision you made was actually someone else's decision! Because they controlled everything through the Rule of Cause and Effect in a special way!"

She didn't know if she had explained herself clearly enough, and she didn't know how to explain everything. So she didn't care anymore and just told everyone what she had talked about after meeting Lu Qing'an, especially vividly recounting Lu Qing'an's claim that she had sealed Li Muchen's memories.

Li Muchen frowned.

Is that even possible?!

To be honest, he had never actually seen anyone at the Peak Eternal Realm who had mastered the Rule of Cause and Effect. In fact, he didn't even know which two of the many Peak Eternal Realm old men were. It was as if all the old men were playing a game of pretending with each other.

They didn't know much about the powerful force of the Rule of Cause and Effect; they only had some guesses, and they weren't even sure if it existed at all.

Now, after hearing what Chen Lingling said, he had to seriously confront one thing.

Could it be that I've been unknowingly being targeted and influenced by an old man all along?

But can someone at the same level truly achieve this level?

"I knew getting involved with that scheming old man would never end well!"

Li Muchen inwardly scoffed, then looked at Chen Lingling and said, "Lingling, I don't know how to explain what you're saying, but since he brought it up, he probably does have something to offer. He's at least at the Peak Eternal Realm and has mastered some incredible rules."

At this moment, Chen Lingling was absolutely certain that Lu Qing'an was a powerful figure who had mastered the Rule of Cause and Effect, and she began to secretly regret her actions.

"Lingling, to be honest, I really don't want to get involved! After this talk, for the sake of our acquaintance, please don't talk to me about anything related to him again. If it really comes down to it, let's not contact each other anymore. What do you think?" Li Muchen said, smiling kindly, but the words he said sounded strangely incongruous.

He had already decided that after talking to Chen Lingling, he would quickly seal this memory away!

Of course, before sealing it, he had to do something; he couldn't let this old schemer continue to interfere with cause and effect!

I'm truly impressed!

Did they really do something to me without my knowledge?

Chen Lingling smiled bitterly, "Senior, I feel that no matter what you do, you can't escape this control. The powerful things Rule of Cause and Effect are probably far beyond our understanding."

It's better to avoid contact; it's like a frog at the bottom of a well looking up at the moon.

After getting to know her, she realized she was like a mayfly seeing the blue sky!

Judging from Li Wensong's words, Li Muchen has long been a pawn!

No matter how hard you try to escape, you can't escape the fate of becoming a pawn!

Li Muchen looked at Chen Lingling speechlessly. "Just listen to me! I don't want to see that kind of scheming old hag at all! Alright, that's enough! I just want to live my ordinary cultivation life."

Chen Lingling took a deep breath and said, "Alright! Senior, I'll listen to you. From now on, I won't bother you with anything related to this big shot!"

"Alright! Goodbye!" Li Muchen ended the message transmission after finishing.

He frowned, examining himself.

Then, in order to check more thoroughly whether he was being watched, his expression changed, and the moment he closed his eyes, the entire surrounding star field suddenly fell into dead silence.

He became a star field!

It was as if this star field was still in an endless state of primordial chaos.

A gigantic, luminous star floats in this chaotic void.

He examined his star core, which was covered with numerous Dao cores of rules.

When he opened his eyes again, his face was still filled with confusion.

"No other rules have ever come close to me! How did I manage that? Is this Rule of Cause and Effect really that powerful?"

He checked carefully and found that no one had used any means to implicate him; there wasn't a single trace!

"Did Lingling make a mistake? Was it all just a coincidence? Oh well! Whatever, we're both at the Peak Eternal Realm. Although you possess the Rule of Cause and Effect, I'm not weak either. You'd better not mess with me, or don't blame me for being impolite."

Li Muchen looked into the void, gave a cold snort, and made a threatening statement, feigning seriousness.

Then, he sealed this memory away again.

After everything was settled, his eyes suddenly became blank again.

"Huh, when did I get back? Okay, back to work."

After Chen Lingling and Li Muchen finished exchanging messages, they shook their heads and put away the communication artifact.

"Now I completely understand what true power is. At the same level, the difference is so obvious! Senior Li was affected without even realizing it!"

"But I..."

Thinking about what she had said and done in the yard just now, she gave a bitter smile again.

What should we do now?

Go back?

All right!

Find Li Wensong first!

At the same time.

At this moment, after leaving the courtyard, Li Wensong kept thinking about what Lu Qing'an had said to him when he left.

"Brother Song, what are you thinking about?"

Beside Li Wensong were the brothers Lianxin and Qian Xiuzhu, and even Jin Lin sat quietly to the side.

After they parted ways, they returned to the Five Lakes Continent.

Li Wensong paused to think, then looked at Qian Xiuzhu and said, "When Brother Lu told me to leave earlier, he said something to me, telling me to look after things on my own and take care of some matters. But given the current situation, there shouldn't be anything else I need to do."

The matter of meeting Chen Lingling is over.

Just as he finished speaking, Li Wensong's expression suddenly changed.

"No, no! Things seem to be over, but they're not! Does Brother Lu mean that the test will end soon after Chen Lingling leaves, and she'll come back to find me?"

Li Wensong was startled and cried out.
