Chapter 1754 All Kinds of Causes and Effects
Great Luo Heaven
Yin Daojun is deducing various causes and effects in the foreign land.

These causes and effects are intricate and complex. In recent years, the killings have intensified, and the karma of many people has changed and become chaotic.

In his original calculations, the Five Great Dao Lords would never have any problems, but now three of them have passed away.

The Reincarnation Sect, the Yin-Yang Sect, and the Creation Sect have all collapsed and disintegrated.

The disciples under his tutelage often suffer from being hunted down by powerful figures from other realms because they cultivate the Great Dao Lord's techniques.

Despite the presence of the powerful Hongjie in the foreign lands,
However, the struggle between different realms has never stopped, and the infighting among the supernatural beings has never ceased.

The cultivation technique practiced by Yin Daojun is called the Great Dao Record of Cause and Effect, which can lead to the Heavenly Eye of Cause and Effect.

A celestial eye pervades the void, investigating the causes and effects of other realms.

But at that moment, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine as an extremely thick causal thread connected him to himself.

Yin Daojun frowned slightly: "I am currently in seclusion, and there has been no major conflict between the two universes. How could such a thick causal thread have come to me?"

He followed the causal line and found that the other end of the causal line was connected to a handsome young man who was rushing towards his temple.

Yin Daojun was startled.
"Damn it! How could it be this killer?"

Soon, Li Yanchu arrived at Daoist Yin's dojo and called out loudly, "Where is Daoist Yin?"

Yin Daojun quickly withdrew his supernatural powers and put away his Heavenly Eye of Cause and Effect, then stood up to greet him.

Upon seeing Li Yanchu, he smiled broadly: "I was unaware of the arrival of the Great Dao Lord of Slaughter. Please forgive my lack of hospitality."

Yin Daojun once assisted Samsara Daojun in hunting down Li Yanchu, and the two formed a karmic bond at that time.

At first glance, Li Yanchu sent chills down Yin Daojun's spine. Later, Li Yanchu not only was not suppressed, but instead rose to the challenge.

Now he has not only become the Lord of Slaughter, but also ranks first among the three Great Lords.

This means that even if a new Dao Lord appears in the future, he will be ranked below the Killing Dao Lord.

Such a powerful and influential figure was naturally someone Yin Daojun dared not treat lightly.

Li Yanchu's expression was indifferent.
"No need for formalities, we don't have much of a relationship."

Yin Daojun chuckled awkwardly and said, "Great Dao Lord, is there something you need at my Daoist temple today?"

Li Yanchu's eyes were disdainful: "Can't I come if there's nothing wrong?"

Yin Daojun quickly smiled and said, "Not at all, not at all. If the Great Dao Lord has any requests, I will obey without question and will follow the Great Dao Lord through fire and water."

He cultivated the Great Dao of Cause and Effect, and was the only person outside the realm to achieve the Dao Lord level in the Great Dao of Cause and Effect.

The Way of Cause and Effect is an extremely profound and mysterious path, and the Great Dao Lords often come to him when they have matters to attend to.

He assumed that Li Yanchu also needed his help.

However, the subtle but firm undertones in Li Yanchu's words made him secretly wary.

This Lord of Slaughter and Fiends is in charge of slaughter and fiends, and he has a terrible temper.

Li Yanchu said calmly, "I have two things to ask you. First, I would like you to look at the karma on my body and see if anyone is plotting against me."

He now seems to be caught in some kind of trap, becoming someone else's pawn. Li Yanchu doesn't want to be manipulated like this.

Yin Daojun is well-versed in the principles of cause and effect, and seems to be the perfect candidate.

Yin Daojun exclaimed in surprise, "How could I possibly examine the karma on the body of a Great Dao Lord?"

Li Yanchu said indifferently, "What, I came to you, and you're unwilling to help?"

Yin Daojun's heart skipped a beat. When he met Li Yanchu's gaze, a chill ran down his spine. He quickly said, "No, no, Daojun, please don't misunderstand. It's just that Daojun has a heavy burden of karma, and I'm afraid I'm powerless to deduce it."

Li Yanchu sneered a few times.
"Very well! Lord Shi ordered me to command gods and demons, the two great Dao Lords of life and death, and to command the Great Luo Heaven. Today, the first thing I did after returning from the lower realm was rejected. Very well, very well indeed."

Yin Daojun was horrified and quickly said, forcing himself to speak, "Dao Daojun, you have misunderstood. In that case, I will investigate the cause and effect for you."

Li Yanchu snorted coldly and said no more.

Under immense pressure, Yin Daojun activated his Heavenly Eye of Cause and Effect.
A golden eye appeared behind him, and when it opened, it seemed to connect with the cause and effect of the world and see through everything.

Yin Daojun had previously investigated the karma surrounding Li Yanchu, which seemed like a tangled mess, but this was the first time he had investigated it up close.

He looked at Li Yanchu, whose body was covered in a complex web of cause and effect, one after another binding him tightly. He was not just burdened by too much karma, he was practically a person made of cause and effect threads.

Yin Daojun swallowed hard, thinking to himself, "It's definitely different up close."

At this moment, he found several tangled lines of cause and effect and followed one of them.

His causal divine eye trembled behind him, and he quickly followed the line to see a tall, golden-browed old man.

The old man was in a magnificent palace. He opened his eyes, and a terrifying pressure instantly descended upon him.

"what!"

Yin Daojun let out a miserable cry, tears streaming down his face, and knelt on the ground.
"Ah! I'm blind! I'm blind!"

He quickly used his supernatural powers to sever the connection, daring not to investigate any further.

That person is the Dao Lord of the Void Realm!
Yin Daojun wiped away his hot tears, stood up and said, "One of them is the Dao Lord of the Void Realm. There are four more Dao Lords of this level of causality on their bodies. I can't look any further. If I do, these terrifying beings will surely find me along the causal lines and kill me."

Li Yanchu frowned slightly.

The Void Realm Dao Lord is considered one, along with Dao Xiyi and the Stone Dao Lord, with whom he has a deep relationship.

Another one might be the Lord of the Jambudvipa.

The Lord of Yanfu Dao has a karmic connection with Pangu, and Li Yanchu also has a past relationship with Pangu.

Li Yanchu frowned slightly.
"Who is the next one?"

Li Yanchu's heart was pounding. He had always suspected that someone was behind the scenes pushing his explosive increase in combat power.

This inexplicably appearing thread of cause and effect might be the mastermind behind it all!
Li Yanchu urged, "Hurry up and look again. Find out who that person is, and we'll wipe the slate clean of all our past grievances."

Yin Daojun forced himself to stay alert, thinking, "Since it was Shafa Daojun who made the promise, I might as well take a quick look. Maybe nothing will happen."

He mustered his courage, cupped his hands, and said, "Since the Great Dao Lord says so, I will certainly do my best."

He activated his Eye of Cause and Effect once again and looked at a line of cause and effect.

The causal line was very thick. Following it, he saw a place that looked like crystal.

There was a figure there, but it was blurry and indistinct; one could only vaguely make out that it was dressed as a Taoist priest.

As soon as Yin Daojun saw this scene, he was suddenly locked onto by a terrifying consciousness, and a wave of cause and effect rushed towards him!
Yin Daojun inwardly cried out in alarm.
"This person has also cultivated the Great Dao of Cause and Effect!"

His heart tightened, and he quickly cut off the contact, but it was too late.

His eyes were completely erased, and his face looked as if he had never had eyes at all.

Not only that, his primordial spirit and his physical body were also in this state; his physical body was completely incomplete.

Yin Daojun pleaded, "My lord, spare my life! My lord, spare my life! I had no intention of spying."

Fortunately, that being only glanced at him, punished him slightly by blinding his eyes, and did not intend to kill him.

Otherwise, he would have been killed by the other party's causal laws. Li Yanchu asked, "Who is this person?"

Just as Yin Daojun was about to speak, his heart began to pound wildly, and his face turned ashen.

"Great Dao Lord, I have not been able to find out the person's identity. I only vaguely saw a figure. If you insist that I describe him, then you are sending me to my death!"

Seeing his panicked appearance, Li Yanchu believed him to a large extent. Hearing this, she said calmly, "I'll let bygones be bygones. I won't make things difficult for you today."

Yin Daojun nodded, relieved: "Thank you for your understanding, Great Dao Lord."

Li Yanchu asked, "If one wants to clearly see one's own karma, is it necessary to cultivate the Great Dao of Karma?"

Yin Daojun said, "That's the theory."

Li Yanchu frowned: "What do you mean by 'theoretically'?"

Yin Daojun said, "This is how it is below the Dao Lord level; I don't know about those above."

Upon hearing this, Li Yanchu stopped pressing the issue and said, "In that case, hand over the Great Dao of Cause and Effect that you cultivate, and I will study it myself."

Yin Daojun opened his mouth, but was speechless.

The Great Dao of Cause and Effect is extremely difficult, and very few people cultivate it.

However, the Great Dao Record of Cause and Effect is the true transmission of cause and effect, and he felt somewhat reluctant to hand it over.

Li Yanchu said calmly, "If you are unwilling, I will not make things difficult for you."

Li Yanchu's tone was indifferent.

Yin Daojun felt a chill run down his spine and quickly said, "I'm willing, I'm willing."

However, he walked unsteadily, his eyes blinded by that terrifying being, which made him very uncomfortable and even unable to see with his divine sense, causing him to stagger as he walked.

He groped his way out and retrieved a celestial tablet.

This stele is very ancient, passed down from the Hongjie realm.

Yin Daojun said, "This is the Record of the Great Dao of Cause and Effect that I brought back when I was studying in the Hongjie. I am not very talented and have only been able to cultivate it to the Daojun level. I cannot advance any further. The Great Daojun is exceptionally talented and may be able to gain some insight from it. This technique can be cultivated to the level of the Great Daojun."

Yin Daojun handed over the Heavenly Stele, and Li Yanchu only glanced at it a few times before discovering that the methods within were extremely profound and beyond the reach of ordinary cause and effect.

This is undoubtedly the true scripture, and the profound mysteries within it have captivated Li Yanchu to this point.

After glancing at it a few times, he looked away, put away the Record of the Great Dao of Cause and Effect, and said calmly, "I apologize for disturbing you today. We are fellow Daoists, and we can visit each other more often in the future."

Yin Daojun reluctantly replied, "I am deeply grateful for the kindness of the Great Dao Lord. Once my eyes have recovered, I will definitely pay you a visit."

Li Yanchu brazenly took away Yin Daojun's cultivation technique, leaving Yin Daojun speechless with despair.

Back when he was studying in the Great Realm, he was one of them. His master was called the Hidden Daoist, whose cultivation was unfathomable. To this day, he still doesn't know whether that person is the Great Dao Lord or the Dao Master.

Now that he has handed over the Heavenly Stele, although he is heartbroken, he is relieved to have gotten rid of Li Yanchu, this plague god.

"Others come to me to ask me to do things, but the Great Dao Lord of Slaughter comes to me because he wants my life!"

Yin Daojun muttered to himself, somewhat helpless.

He continued to adapt to the situation in the dark, sighing inwardly.

Thinking of how he was coerced by Li Yanchu today and targeted by that terrifying being, he felt tears welling up in his eyes. Unfortunately, he no longer had eyes, so the tears could not flow. He was deeply hurt.

Yin Daojun thought to himself, "I have been cultivating this Great Dao Record of Cause and Effect for 130 million years and have only just reached the Dao Lord realm. Is it a bit too slow for the Great Dao Lord of Slaughter to start cramming for the last minute and cultivating in order to check the causal threads on his body?"

Yin Daojun shook his head, thinking that this matter should not involve him too much, and stopped thinking about it.

…………

After retrieving the Record of the Great Dao of Cause and Effect, Li Yanchu returned to the Dao Saint Palace at Dragon Phoenix Cliff.

He is now in the midst of chaos, with a mysterious being, suspected to be at the Dao Lord level, plotting against him in the shadows.

Although he cultivates martial arts to restrain killing and avoid danger, he is not necessarily guaranteed success. It would be better for him to cultivate the Way of Cause and Effect to gain a clear understanding of the situation.

He was observing the Heavenly Stele of Cause and Effect.

Everything in the world has a cause and effect, and there is also a cause and effect between universes. After cultivating, he gained a clearer understanding of the principle of cause and effect.

Cultivators plunder the immortal spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and refine the Great Dao of heaven and earth for their own use, which inherently carries a karmic burden.

After Li Yan finished cultivating the Dao of Cause and Effect, he couldn't help but feel a little shocked. It seemed that the higher the cultivation level of a cultivator, the heavier the karma between heaven and earth would be!

In this case, if the universe were to fall into the final stage of severe disillusionment and annihilation, wouldn't we have to pay the price for our karma?

With the intense fighting and conflict in the outer regions, Li Yanchu already had some understanding of the cause and effect, but this was his first time engaging in systematic cultivation.

With Li Yanchu's talent, his cultivation of the Great Dao of Cause and Effect improved very quickly. He had only been cultivating for a short time when he reached the Supreme Realm and still felt that he had plenty of energy left.

Li Yanchu was somewhat surprised.
“My talent was already very high, but it seems to be frighteningly high in the realm of cause and effect.”

Li Yanchu showed some surprise, but then his expression became somewhat strange.

Having such high talent in the path of cause and effect doesn't seem like a good thing, perhaps because he has too much and too heavy karma on his shoulders.

Li Yanchu continued his cultivation, and in just one year, he cultivated the Great Dao of Cause and Effect to the point of immortality!

His proof of causal immortality outside the realm can be clearly manifested through the Great Dao of Slaughter.

Li Yanchu has just attained enlightenment, yet his grasp of cause and effect is comparable to that of Yin Daojun!
Now, almost everyone outside the realm is tainted by the calamity and is under its shadow. Looking around, Li Yanchu sees no one who can escape.

Li Yanchu thought to himself, "It seems that we can use killing to prove cause and effect, which would speed things up considerably."

Li Yanchu suddenly felt a dry mouth and throat; it seemed he had discovered a special path.

The interconnections between the nine innate paths.

"Can the nine innate paths be deduced one by one?"

Li Yanchu was somewhat surprised.

He had never heard of such a saying in this foreign land, nor did he possess such a genuine teaching.

The thought only flashed through his mind, and he continued his cultivation.

However, when cultivating, Li Yanchu no longer focused on cause and effect, but instead used killing to prove cause and effect.

In this way, the speed was even faster, advancing by leaps and bounds.

It only took him three years to go from beginner to advanced cultivation to a second realization of the Dao through cause and effect.
However, it took Yin Daojun 130 million years to cultivate into a Daojun.

Li Yanchu had already used killing and warfare to prove cause and effect, and had cultivated to the level of Dao Lord.

“This route seems feasible.” Li Yanchu’s eyes lit up.

If Yin Daojun knew that Li Yanchu had already cultivated to the level of the Dao Lord of Cause and Effect in only three years, he would probably have his Dao Heart shattered.

You must know that the principle of cause and effect is extremely mysterious and obscure; if it could be mastered in three years...

Then wouldn't he have wasted 130 million years of his life?
