Chapter 1482: The Mystery of the Origin of Cause and Effect
As red as blood, entangled with strong resentment and hatred.
The golden sky is as bright as the sun, flowing with deep gratitude and righteousness.
Green as a vine, it entangles bonds.
There are also dark, inky threads that exude a heart-pounding scent of sin...
Billions of silk threads interweave, entangle, extend, break, and are reborn, forming a huge network that covers the heavens and the earth and runs through the past and the future.
The "center" of this network, or rather, the anchor point of Zhang Xuan's own perception, is not a physical entity, but it is imprinted in his sea of consciousness with incredible clarity.
There is a huge stone tablet there that is ancient, vast, and seems to have existed since time immemorial!
The Heavenly Monument of Cause and Effect!
It is not made of any known material, and is engraved with mysterious Taoist patterns that are not words, flowing with the breath of the original law.
Zhang Xuan's own causal thread was the brightest and clearest, radiating out from the core of the stone tablet like a main vein, connecting the bonds of family, friendships of life and death, and even the weapons he had used and the secret realms he had set foot on...
The closer the silk thread is to the Heavenly Monument, the thicker and brighter it is, representing the cause and effect that is most closely related to him.
As they extend outward, the threads become thinner, dimmer, and more blurred, representing distant or weak connections.
Among them, there are two thick causal threads extending to infinity.
Henry Zhang had an impression of these two causal threads.
One thread of cause and effect was when he obtained the Taixu Qing Divine Mine in the ancient star battlefield. He accidentally opened the Taixu Qing Divine Mine, causing the body of the Holy Son of the Tianxing Divine Realm inside to turn into powder, and a cursed force turned into a black light spot that parasitized on him.
The other causal thread was even thicker. It was at the old site of the divine realm. The petals of the thirty-three Daoyun Green Lotus all drilled into his dead body and condensed into petals of flowers on the branches of the cell tree phantom, making the entire cell tree phantom become full of vitality and arousing the terrifying aura of an endless and distant interface.
It was as if a terrifying existence with the power to destroy the world had awakened.
Fortunately, these two causal threads are concealed by the causal destiny chart.
"So... this is the truth of the world... everything is subject to cause and effect!" Zhang Xuan's mind was shocked, and he was almost overwhelmed by this vast and magnificent torrent of information.
He felt as small as a speck of dust, yet seemed to have instantly understood the fundamental principles of the universe.
He stared intently at the towering monument of cause and effect.
An epiphany naturally arose in his mind: He could "write" on this heavenly monument!
This is not done with pen and ink, but based on the law of cause and effect, the "result" that you think in your heart, the "cause and effect" that you want to achieve, or the "cause and effect" that you want to change are engraved on the monument!
Zhang Xuan's heartbeat accelerated slightly.
He suppressed his excitement and chose an extremely small target to try.
He wanted to process all the remaining flesh of the nine-headed monster into high-level spiritual feces.
The moment the mind was focused and the desire took shape, the Monument of Cause and Effect trembled slightly.
Zhang Xuan clearly "saw" that an extremely weak causal thread connecting the nine-headed monster suddenly lit up with an imperceptible green light.
Zhang Xuan directly used the true method of returning all filth to its source and incorporating spirits. In just a few breaths, he transformed filth into spirits and processed all the broken flesh of the nine-headed monster into high-level spirit feces.
You know, in the past, even if he used the true method of returning all evil to its source and nourishing the soul, it would still take several days.
Now it only takes a few breaths.
The magical power of the Tao, the origin of cause and effect, is truly mysterious.
However, after using it just this once, he felt as if a certain invisible power in his body had been quietly drained away, and that was the power of cause and effect!
The consumption is extremely small and almost negligible.
And the karma connected to the Heavenly Monument of Karma seemed to have increased a little bit.
Zhang Xuan's eyes flashed with brilliance!
This feeling is like making a move in chess and plucking the strings of fate!
Although the target is small and the consumption is almost zero, this verifies the feasibility of the magical power!
A bolder idea arose in his mind.
He wanted his remaining nine flowers of the Origin Divine Tree to all bear Origin Dao Fruits.
As soon as the thought came to his mind, a huge warning came from the Cause and Effect Monument.
The Cause and Effect Monument began to vibrate violently, emitting a low humming sound.
Zhang Xuan seemed to see a terrifying suction force that seemed to drain all his causal power!
In the dark, a great terror descended upon my heart.
He seemed to see that if he wrote this decree but was unable to pay the price, the invisible shackles of heaven would fall down.
Cold sweat instantly soaked Zhang Xuan's back.
He quickly cut off the dangerous thought.
The terrifying illusion receded like the tide at this moment, but the throbbing in his heart and the feeling of weakness coming from the depths of his soul clearly reminded him of the horror of the debt of cause and effect!
"Is this... the balance of heaven?"
He looked at the Heavenly Monument of Cause and Effect where the threads of cause and effect were intertwined. There was no trace of his previous frivolity in his eyes anymore, but instead there was deep awe and enlightenment.
Although supernatural powers are powerful and can reveal cause and effect and change one's destiny, they are not omnipotent, nor are they tools for doing whatever one wants.
Every time one puts pen to paper on the Heavenly Stele, one is making a dangerous deal with the mysterious Heavenly Dao.
The bigger the target and the wider the involvement, the more terrifying the "price" to be paid.
If one does not know one's own capabilities and forcibly changes one's fate against the will of heaven, thus overdrawing the power of cause and effect, the punishment of heaven will be like a maggot on the heel, until the usurper is completely wiped out.
Zhang Xuan slowly closed his eyes and withdrew from the dizzying and dangerous causal vision.
The Three Pure Ones' Great Array, the Ten Thousand Layer Demon Tower... familiar things appeared before my eyes again.
However, Zhang Xuan was full of excitement at this time.
This brand new world, composed of endless threads of cause and effect, unveiled a corner of its mystery before him.
Holding the pen of the Heavenly Monument of Cause and Effect, one can decide the fate of the world or bring about heavenly punishment.
This power is the ladder to heaven and also the sword hanging over your head.
For the first time, he "saw" the logic of how the world works so clearly, and for the first time, he felt so deeply the temptation of being a "writer".
He put away the Three Pure Ones' Great Formation and the Ten Thousand Layer Demon Tower.
He called Bu Yueling again.
A large number of fifth-level spiritual materials traded from the Avenue of All Realms were handed over to her, allowing the cultivators of the Immortal Gourd Realm to continue refining fifth-level formations, puppets, pills, etc.
At the same time, another task was given to the cultivators of the Immortal Gourd Realm, which was to collect a large number of fragments of the ancient gods of the Great Dao.
This kind of fragment of the ancient god of the Great Dao can obtain the power of cause and effect feedback from the Heavenly Dao and store it in the original Dao fruit of the cause and effect Dao.
It will definitely be of great use in the future.
The Lingyuan Secret Realm, which has been newly integrated into the Xianhu Realm, has only been developed 20% through contribution points and can be further redeemed with contribution points.
Unfortunately, in the Immortal Gourd Realm, the cultivation of some talented people in various arts is still too low.
Zhang Dawu, a genius in formation who can create a fifth-grade top-grade formation, is only at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.
Zi Yuan Zhenren, who was able to refine the fifth-order talisman, was only in the late Nascent Soul stage, and Boss Qiu, who was able to refine spiritual treasures, was only in the middle Nascent Soul stage.
His second uncle Zhang Ergeng was able to refine a second-level fifth-grade elixir, but he was only in the early Nascent Soul stage.
"My cultivation is too low..."
Zhang Xuan rummaged through the dusty corners of his storage ring to find some unwanted treasures and secretly gave them as rewards.
This actually moved these old friends who had always followed Zhang Xuan.
