Heavenly Dao of Cause and Effect!!!

The place where the Heavenly Dao of Cause and Effect resides is completely different from what Lu Qing'an imagined.

There were no extraordinary phenomena.

It also lacks the kind of scenery that is immediately recognizable as extraordinary, like the Lightning Domain or the Five Elements Heavenly Domain.

After emerging from the spatial passage, all that appeared before me was an ordinary small town.

Someone opened a shop.

Someone is selling vegetables.

Children were running around on the street with candied hawthorns in their hands.

Lu Qing'an stood at the city gate and checked twice.

"Here?"

The Nether Emperor nodded. "Here."

"Heavenly Dao of Cause and Effect reside in the city?"

"The whole city belongs to her."

Lu Qing'an paused in his steps.

When I looked at the small town again, my gaze was completely different.

"What's the meaning?"

Li Wensong explained on behalf of the Nether Emperor: "The people in the city are real, but the city itself, including most of the things that happen within it, are actually part of the Heavenly Dao of Cause and Effect."

"Can't understand."

Li Wensong thought for a moment, then put it simply. "Brother Lu, you can understand it as this city being the place where she observes cause and effect."

Every day, everyone makes countless choices, and each choice creates new consequences. What you buy, who you talk to, whether you go out today, or even a casual remark can affect someone else's life.

Lu Qing'an understood this time.

The butterfly effect.

A seemingly insignificant action can ultimately produce completely unpredictable results.

"That's interesting."

The group entered the city.

The streets were bustling with activity.

The steamed bun vendor is arguing with a customer over the price; a teenager bumps into a passerby and quickly apologizes; in a restaurant in the distance, someone is drunk and banging on the table, boasting about how amazing he was when he was young.

At first glance...

It was no different from any other ordinary town.

Lu Qing'an gradually discovered some unusual aspects.

His Rule of Cause and Effect were already complete.

Therefore, they can see things that others cannot.

silk.

Countless threads.

Each person is connected by numerous, barely visible threads.

Someone just bought a steamed bun.

A faint causal thread appeared on his body, connecting him to the owner of the steamed bun shop.

The boss would take the money, then go home and give it to his wife.

The wife might use the money to buy cloth.

The cloth seller will then use the money for other things.

A line.

It splits into two lines.

The two lines continue to separate.

Eventually, it became countless.

Lu Qing'an was quite engrossed in watching.

So that's how cause and effect work.

Li Wensong stood beside him, his expression somewhat complicated.

before.

When he first came here, he stood on this street and looked around for a long time.

Back then, I was full of youthful vigor and ambition.

I always felt that since the Great Dao of Cause and Effect had been cultivated, I would be able to gradually reach the very top of the Hongmeng Holy Realm.

Who could have imagined it would turn out like that?

Let's go.

The Nether Emperor spoke.

"She already knows we're here."

The group continued inside.

They soon arrived at a teahouse.

The teahouse was small.

There are only seven or eight tables.

There weren't many people inside.

Behind the counter sat a woman in a gray dress, who looked to be around thirty years old. Her appearance wasn't particularly stunning, but she was quite pleasing to the eye.

She was looking down at the abacus.

The Nether Emperor had just stepped through the door.

The woman didn't even look up.

"Sit."

Everyone found a place to sit down.

The Heavenly Dao of Fire followed.

It wasn't just him.

The five elements (metal, wood, water, earth) and the Heavenly Dao of Lightning have all arrived.

Lu Qing'an was speechless.

Are these Heavenly Dao so idle?

The woman in the gray dress adjusted the last bead on the abacus before raising her head.

She looked at the Nether Emperor first.

Let's look at the other Heavenly Dao beings.

What day is it today?

"So many people have come here?"

Heavenly Dao of Lightning said calmly, "Just here to watch the show."

Heavenly Dao of Fire immediately looked at him. "Didn't you just tell us to leave?"

When did I say that?

"..."

shameless.

The Heavenly Dao of Cause and Effect, are too lazy to bother with them.

Her gaze quickly fell on Li Wensong.

The two looked at each other.

The atmosphere suddenly became quieter.

You're back?

The woman asked.

Li Wensong nodded.

"You're back."

"It's much later than I expected."

"We're trapped."

"I can tell."

The Heavenly Dao of Cause and Effect observed him for a few moments, then finally sighed softly, "Your cause and effect is still incomplete."

Li Wensong's smile was somewhat bitter.

That's why I came to find you.

"It's no use coming to me."

She said it very directly, "I told you before. That causal link wasn't severed naturally; it was forcibly cut off by someone using methods beyond the Great Dao of Cause and Effect and Effect. To make it back, you either need to find the person who severed it, or find that causal link itself."

Li Wensong remained silent.

Lu Qing'an asked, "What if we kill them?"

For the first time, the Heavenly Dao of Cause and Effect looked at him.

Who did you kill?

"The one who severs his karma."

The woman in the gray dress sized up Lu Qing'an for a moment.

Killing him is pointless.

"Why?"

"Cause and effect do not mean that the debt disappears automatically when the creditor dies."

This analogy is easy to understand.

Lu Qing'an nodded.

"Then what about arresting them?"

The Heavenly Dao of Cause and Effect raised an eyebrow slightly.

Who are you planning to arrest?

Li Wensong quickly said, "Brother Lu, let's talk about this later."

Lu Qing'an glanced at him but didn't ask any further questions.

Today's main purpose isn't revenge.

Break through first.

The Heavenly Dao of Cause and Effect have clearly also discovered something.

She gazed at Lu Qing'an for longer and longer periods.

"Wrong."

Lu Qing'an had gotten used to people saying those two words when they looked at him.

What's wrong?

The Heavenly Dao of Cause and Effect offered no answer.

She raised a finger.

A transparent thread appeared in the void.

The other end of the silk thread slowly drifted towards Lu Qing'an.

They haven't really gotten close to Lu Qing'an yet.

Smack

It's broken.

The woman frowned.

Another one.

Smack

Break again.

This time.

Her expression became noticeably serious.

The entire teahouse suddenly fell silent.

The noise from outside the street also disappeared at that moment.

It's not that those people stopped talking.

Instead, the teahouse was completely isolated from the outside world.

Countless threads of cause and effect emerged from behind the woman.

Tens of thousands.

More and more.

Eventually, it almost filled the entire space.

It all extends towards Lu Qing'an.

The Nether Emperor's eyes flickered slightly.

The Heavenly Dao of the Five Elements members also fell silent.

Smack

The first batch broke.

The second group approached Lu Qing'an.

It also fractured.

The third batch.

The fourth batch.

None of these points truly connect to Lu Qing'an.

The expression on the face of the Heavenly Dao of Cause and Effect gradually changed.

"Impossible."

Li Wensong wasn't particularly surprised to see this.

He noticed something was off about Lu Qing'an back then.

It's because they can't see the cause and effect behind Lu Qing'an's actions.

But that's how it seems now.

Even the Heavenly Dao of Cause and Effect.

Things seemed even more outrageous than he had imagined.

The woman in the gray dress came out from behind the counter.

She approached Lu Qing'an, less than three feet away, and her eyes slowly turned ashen.

"Where are you from?"

"Nine Directions and Ten Domains."

"That's not it."

Lu Qing'an was taken aback.

The Heavenly Dao of Cause and Effect stared into his eyes. "Where do you truly come from?"

Lu Qing'an remained silent.

Earth?

Or was it before the eternal cycle of reincarnation that Li Wensong had previously speculated about?

to be honest.

He himself didn't know.

The Heavenly Dao of Cause and Effect then asked, "What about your past causes?"

Lu Qing'an shook his head.

"Have no idea."

What will be the consequences?

"I don't know either."

The woman stared at him for a long time.

Suddenly, he asked an even stranger question.

Why don't you understand cause and effect?

Lu Qing'an laughed when asked the question.

"Senior, shouldn't I be asking you that?"

I'm here to test my Great Dao of Cause and Effect.

You, who speak of Heavenly Dao of Cause and Effect, are asking me why there is no cause and effect?

The Heavenly Dao of Cause and Effect has no inherent life force.

He simply returned to his seat at the table.

The expression on his face was completely different from before.

"It's not that it doesn't exist."

She whispered.

"That's too much."

The Nether Emperor frowned slightly.

"What's the meaning?"

The woman in the gray dress glanced at him.

"His cause and effect are not nonexistent, but rather beyond the scope of my direct observation."

The teahouse fell silent.

The weight of that statement.

Everyone understood.

The principle of Heavenly Dao of Cause and Effect is itself one of the manifestations of the Great Dao of Cause and Effect.

Within the entire Hongmeng Holy Realm, all truly existing beings are theoretically situated within a causal network.

But now she says...

Lu Qing'an is nowhere to be seen.

Heavenly Dao of Fire couldn't help but ask, "You can't see it either?"

The woman shook her head.

"If you really want to see it, you can try."

"Why don't you give it a try?"

Lu Qing'an looked at the Heavenly Dao of Fire.

You really enjoy stirring things up.

The Heavenly Dao of Cause and Effect disregarded this.

She looked at Lu Qing'an and suddenly smiled.

"Interesting."

"You've come here to ask me to break through the Great Dao of Cause and Effect?"

"Right."

"Is the Rule of Cause and Effect complete?"

Lu Qing'an raised his hand.

A wisp of causal power slowly emerged.

The Heavenly Dao of Cause and Effect made its determination with just one glance.

It was truly perfect.

Moreover, it is purer than ordinary perfection.

"You may participate in the test."

Lu Qing'an was about to express his gratitude.

The woman's next words were already coming.

"However, I will not give you the Great Dao Sacred Origin."

The teahouse fell silent once more.

Heavenly Dao of Fire's eyes lit up immediately.

Another one?

He even subconsciously glanced at Lu Qing'an.

That look clearly said something!

Weren't you just looking for someone who was unreasonable?

Now we have it.

Lu Qing'an didn't rush to get angry.

"Why?"

The Heavenly Dao of Cause and Effect said, "Because even I cannot see your karma clearly."

"So?"

"So I don't know what will happen after I give you the Great Dao Sacred Origin of Cause and Effect."

This is the reason.

That's certainly plausible.

Lu Qing'an thought for a moment.

"Then what should I do to put your mind at ease, senior?"

The woman looked at him.

Let me see your cause and effect.

"You'll give it to me if I can see it?"

"If you can let me see part of it clearly, I'll give it to you."

Lu Qing'an readily nodded.

"OK."

The Heavenly Dao of Cause and Effect was momentarily stunned.

Aren't you afraid I'll see your secret?

Lu Qing'an smiled.

"If you could see this, I'd actually be quite curious myself."

Standing to the side, Li Wensong suddenly had an extremely strong premonition.

He felt...

It's best not to read about Heavenly Dao of Cause and Effect from now on.

real.

There's nothing normal about this Brother Lu.

But before he could even speak...

The Heavenly Dao of Cause and Effect has already raised its right hand.

One finger.

It was gently placed on Lu Qing'an's brow.

"Let me see."

A gray light entered his sea of consciousness.

The woman closed her eyes.

The first few breaths.

Nothing happened.

But by the fifth breath...

Her brows suddenly furrowed.

The sixth breath.

His face turned pale.

The seventh breath.

Her body trembled slightly.

The Nether Emperor sensed something was wrong.

What happened?

There was no response.

Eighth breath.

As if witnessing something utterly terrifying, the Heavenly Dao of Cause and Effect suddenly opened its eyes, its fingers instantly leaving Lu Qing'an's brow.

He stumbled back seven or eight steps.

The tables and chairs behind them were all overturned.

She completely ignored it.

He just stared intently at Lu Qing'an.

My breathing became erratic for the first time.

"You..."

Lu Qing'an touched his brow.

"You saw it?"

The Heavenly Dao of Cause and Effect offered no answer.

She definitely saw it just now.

But only for a fleeting moment.

An endless ocean of cause and effect.

Countless rivers of cause and effect converge.

The past, present, and future are completely intertwined.

She couldn't even tell which one belonged to Lu Qing'an.

Even more terrifying is...

Just as she was about to look deeper into the room...

Within that boundless realm of cause and effect.

There's something...

I glanced at her.

Just one glance.

Her connection with the entire Great Dao of Cause and Effect was almost severed on the spot.

The Heavenly Dao of Cause and Effect has existed for far too long.

For the first time, I had an extremely clear feeling.

Let's look again.

He will die.

Seeing that she remained silent for a while, Lu Qing'an couldn't help but ask, "Senior?"

The woman finally came to her senses.

Then he made a move that surprised everyone.

She raised her hand.

A grayish-white Great Dao Sacred Origin appeared in his palm.

He handed it directly to Lu Qing'an.

"Take it."

Lu Qing'an blinked.

"The test?"

I'm not taking the exam.

"You didn't mean for me to..."

I've changed my mind.

Lu Qing'an looked at her.

I feel like I just heard that saying before.

Heavenly Dao of Lightning's face darkened.

Don't look at me.

The Heavenly Dao of Cause and Effect pushed the Sacred Origin forward a little further.

"Take it."

"Refine it now."

"Leave as soon as you're done refining."

Lu Qing'an: "..."

no.

Why are they suddenly kicking people out?
