Chapter 1764 The Old Way Is Hard to Let Go
At this moment, Li Yanchu activated the power of cause and effect, and felt his cultivation of the Great Dao of Cause and Effect surge, a change that startled even himself.

He looked at himself and saw dozens of extremely thick causal threads wrapped around him, which startled him.
"What I experienced in prehistoric times may not have been a lie, as it was tainted with so many terrible causes and effects!"

Li Yanchu's causal path surged, and he activated the Eye of Causality, attempting to see through the truth of this world, especially the enormous eye in the sky.

Li Yanchu was very curious about it.

At that moment, he looked up at the sky, but with just that one glance, his heart stopped, and his consciousness fell into chaos. An extremely terrifying force came, as if it wanted to obliterate him right there.

Li Yanchu was startled.
"Even the Dao Lord can see through it, but I can't even take a look at the strange eye in the sky."

He sighed inwardly, his consciousness gradually fading.

But to die like this would be too suffocating.

Unexpected events happen all the time in the vast universe, and this one left him feeling both amused and exasperated.

The terrifying force of cause and effect wanted to obliterate him.

But the next moment, the divine axe on his body flew out, and as if controlled by someone, it swung down.

This axe strike, seemingly aimed at empty space, actually severed the causal thread, causing Li Yanchu to regain consciousness.

He stared at the divine axe in shock, his brow furrowed.

Then, Li Yanchu realized a terrifying situation.

"The master of the divine axe is still alive and can still control the axe to strike."

Li Yanchu gasped.

This divine axe has a mysterious origin, but I have already washed away the imprint on it in the sea of ​​stars and reforged it for hundreds of years. Logically speaking, the owner of the divine axe should not be able to control it.

Li Yanchu frowned slightly, and then he made a bold decision.

Previously, he had almost been obliterated by the power of cause and effect when he tried to see the strange eye, but this time he would follow the clues from the divine axe to investigate further.

The owner of the divine axe intended to save him, and wouldn't kill him over such a trivial matter.

Li Yanchu had just returned from the brink of death, but he was still incredibly brave.

He followed the thread of cause and effect and discovered that there was indeed a thread of cause and effect on the divine axe.

This thread of cause and effect kept extending outwards, and Li Yanchu's heart pounded wildly.
"The owner of this divine axe is right here!"

He was startled and quickly urged the ship forward.

However, this thread of cause and effect seemed endless. Li Yanchu pushed the ship with all his might, and after an unknown amount of time, he finally felt that the end of the thread of cause and effect had arrived.

Li Yanchu sensed that a very important person was about to emerge.

Soon, he saw a fairy island in the distance. This fairy island was very ethereal, with fairy spiritual energy flowing like a waterfall, and it also contained various innate Dao Qi from the universe.

Moreover, this fairy island has been moving slowly all along!

As Li Yanchu approached, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he discovered that there was a large shadow beneath the fairy island, as if a huge creature was underwater.

Li Yanchu frowned. He had briefly sunk into the Star Sea to avoid disaster and knew the dangers there, but he never expected that there would be creatures in the Star Sea.

Li Yanchu held her breath and carefully examined the area.

“The owner of the divine axe has a very deep karmic connection with me. He saved me before, and I haven’t thanked him in person yet. I should go and thank him,” Li Yanchu thought to himself.

Then, Li Yanchu lightly leaped and arrived on the immortal island.

He followed the causal line of the divine axe forward until he finally saw a figure with its back to him.

This person was an ancient god from another realm, with a powerful physique and a halo behind his head, radiating a terrifying aura.

Li Yanchu frowned deeply.
"The owner of the divine axe is an extraordinary person!"

However, Li Yanchu felt a sense of familiarity towards this strange person, and he secretly pondered to himself...

Why does he seem so familiar to me?

Li Yanchu said in a deep voice, "Thank you for helping me sever the karmic ties. May I ask who you are?"

The imposing, strange man remained silent.

Li Yanchu called out several times, but there was no response.

"Ok?"

Only then did he notice that the man's forehead seemed to have been pierced, allowing him to see what was in front of him.

However, the aura emanating from this person was so overwhelming that Li Yanchu could not immediately discern whether he was alive or dead.

Li Yanchu was startled.
"he died?"

He went around to the front and immediately gasped in shock.
"Isn't that me?"

Li Yanchu was dumbfounded.

No wonder he felt the man's appearance was familiar; it was the same alien form he took when he was assimilated by the Great Dao of the alien world 130 million years ago.

Li Yanchu was shocked. After thinking it over carefully, he realized that this person looked exactly the same as he had when he had changed.

Li Yanchu exclaimed in surprise, "I am the owner of this divine axe! I saved myself!?"

At this moment, his thoughts became somewhat chaotic, his heart pounded wildly, and the principles of cause and effect were momentarily disordered.

Those who cultivate the Great Dao of Cause and Effect are most prone to problems, which is one of the reasons why the Great Dao of Cause and Effect is difficult to cultivate.

Those who can manipulate cause and effect will inevitably be manipulated by cause and effect. Li Yanchu has now violated the taboo of the Great Dao of Cause and Effect, and he has done so twice in a row.

At this moment, his path was disordered, and his cause and effect were in utter chaos.

When he came to his senses, the Great Dao of Cause and Effect had already begun to evolve on its own, constantly manipulating the threads of cause and effect.

Li Yanchu's heart sank.

"This can't go on. If it interferes with the causal relationship between me and Youqing and the others, they will also cause trouble in the Chaos Cave Abyss."

The situation was critical. Li Yanchu had an idea. He took out the Chaos Green Lotus, transformed his Dao into chaos, and all his Dao power turned into chaos.

The azure lotus unleashed its power, yet not a single blade of grass or tree on this immortal island was dissolved by the Great Dao of Chaos.

"impossible!"

Li Yanchu gritted his teeth and plunged headfirst into the Chaos Green Lotus.

Although this Chaos Green Lotus is a spiritual root of the universe, it is of little use in resolving his karma.

Chaos cannot interfere with cause and effect!

Li Yanchu sighed inwardly and had no choice but to concentrate on fighting against and sorting out the Great Dao of Cause and Effect.

This process is extremely dangerous; if he is not careful, he could very well run into serious trouble.

Li Yanchu frowned.

“I cultivated the Great Dao of Cause and Effect in order to break free from the control of the people behind the scenes, but now the Great Dao of Cause and Effect is the first to run into trouble.”

He felt somewhat helpless, as he had now cultivated both his martial arts and the Dao of Slaughter to the level of a Dao Lord.

Li Yanchu urged these two Great Daos to fight against the Great Dao of Cause and Effect, and it took a great deal of effort to suppress it briefly, so that Cause and Effect would no longer run rampant.

This situation was extremely dangerous. Li Yanchu had two choices: one was to choose another Great Dao and cultivate it to the level of a Great Dao Lord, causing his own Great Dao to evolve in that direction, which might quell the chaos of cause and effect.

The other option is to choose either martial arts or the path of killing to suppress cause and effect and assimilate the path of cause and effect.

In reality, cultivating a Great Dao to the level of a Great Dao Lord is extremely difficult. Although the Primordial Dao has the foundation for this, it is still somewhat lacking in refinement. The problem of causal chaos that Li Yanchu faced was extremely serious, so he immediately chose a Great Dao.

His first choice was martial arts, and he planned to use martial arts to restrain cause and effect.

He valued martial arts highly, especially after he figured out the way to prove the Dao through strength.

But when he activated his martial arts, he found that it was still difficult to suppress cause and effect!

That makes sense. Martial arts are indeed somewhat rudimentary; they are merely a kind of acquired path, and proving one's path through force is even more so.

Li Yanchu sighed inwardly.

"It seems that only by using violence to control cause and effect can this problem be quelled."

Immediately, Li Yanchu activated the Great Dao of Slaughter to restrain the Great Dao of Cause and Effect.

He cultivated the Great Dao of Cause and Effect too quickly, and hadn't encountered some difficulties yet, which meant he took a shortcut.

This issue of the path of cause and effect in cultivation, if it doesn't erupt today, will inevitably erupt sooner or later.

However, after Li Yanchu activated the Great Dao of Slaughter, he immediately suppressed the cause and effect. The chaos of the Great Dao of Cause and Effect completely stopped. Moreover, the threads of cause and effect returned to their proper way!
Li Yanchu's gaze sharpened; he hadn't expected the power of the Dao of Slaughter to be so strong.

At this moment, a massive killing cave appeared behind him, a natural evolution of the Great Dao of Slaughter.

Li Yanchu was taken aback and sighed, "After going around in circles, I've ended up back on the same old path."

But at this moment, he couldn't care less about anything else.

"Let's resolve the issue of karma and spiritual practice first."

After Li Yanchu suppressed the causal lines, a wisp of his divine consciousness entered the Chaos Cave Abyss.

Upon seeing Fang Youqing, he immediately asked, "Did anything happen earlier?"

Fang Youqing said, "The karma between you and me seems to have changed and become chaotic, but it quickly calmed down. Is there a problem on your end?"

Li Yanchu sighed, "Indeed, those who manipulate cause and effect will inevitably be manipulated by cause and effect."

Fang Youqing asked worriedly, "What happened?"

Then Li Yanchu began to recount what had happened earlier.

Fang Youqing frowned and said, "I was cultivating in the cave and had no idea you had gone through so much."

As Fang Youqing spoke, she looked at Li Yanchu reproachfully and glared at him.

Li Yanchu said, "We seem to be in a chaotic situation now, and I'm afraid of implicating you all."

Fang Youqing retorted angrily, "What do you mean by 'implication'!"

Li Yanchu's gaze softened as he said, "Don't be agitated inside. I control cause and effect with my killing and ruthlessness, so there won't be any problems for now."

Fang Youqing was not satisfied with Li Yanchu's attitude and shouted that she wanted to go out, which soon attracted Cuihua, Fang Qinglan, Yunniang and others.

After learning the situation, they were also unwilling to let Li Yanchu face such a dangerous situation alone.

Upon seeing this, Li Yan tried to persuade them with kind words, and it took a lot of effort to calm them down.

He quickly withdrew his divine sense.

On the immortal island, Li Yanchu breathed a sigh of relief.

He now truly understands the dangers of the law of cause and effect.

He was now facing that tall, strange man.

The Daoist energy around the extraordinary person was rich and abundant.

Li Yanchu could sense the Great Dao such as Taiyi, Chaos, Wuji, Slaughter, Cause and Effect, Supreme Being, and Primordial Chaos!
Each type of innate Dao Qi is extremely profound; if one can absorb it, it will definitely greatly improve one's cultivation.

Li Yanchu remained unmoved, saying, "It's hard to accept that I am the owner of the divine axe."

He wasn't even sure if he was currently in a void or in a true chaotic star sea.

Li Yanchu raised an eyebrow.
"That's right, use a warship!"

After cultivating the Great Dao of Cause and Effect, he became too lazy to use his brain, as many things could be calculated using cause and effect.

However, now that he has discovered so many hidden dangers in the Great Dao of Cause and Effect, Li Yanchu is somewhat wary of it and still chooses to rely on his own judgment.

He took out the ship, activated it, and searched for its whereabouts in the alien realm, but the brand on the ship still did not react.

Li Yanchu raised an eyebrow.

"Nothing has changed from before, which means that the strange eye in the sky and the strange person I encountered are both in the Chaos Hole."

"The chaotic void corresponds to some scenes of other realms and can also evolve into the future. It took me to the past before, and now I have seen myself. All of this seems to indicate that this is a place where cause and effect are chaotic and time and space are chaotic, and anything is possible."

Li Yanchu doesn't have much information at the moment and hasn't drawn any conclusions yet.

It's also possible that some force is influencing him, trying to disrupt his Daoist mind.

His resolve was strengthened as a result.

However, after experiencing many things, he became increasingly wary of cause and effect.

He put away the divine axe, but Li Yanchu did not touch the scattered innate Dao Qi around him.

Previously, he had acted very boldly, examining the cause and effect of the strange eye in the sky and the cause and effect of the divine axe, but now he was behaving very cautiously.

He left the fairy island directly.

As he moved further away, the fairy island gradually disappeared from his sight, but Li Yanchu had a very strange feeling in his heart, as if someone was watching him.

This feeling didn't come from the sky, but from the direction of the island we had seen before.

Li Yanchu couldn't help but look back, but he found that the island that had disappeared from his sight had reappeared in the distance, and there seemed to be another figure on the island besides the tall, strange man.

Li Yanchu's pupils contracted.
That person appears to be a young Taoist priest!
Li Yanchu took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to investigate the matter, and did not go forward to investigate again.

After traveling some distance, Li Yanchu sensed that the fairy island was still behind him, and this time it was even closer.

"I will not get involved in this cause and effect, but it will still come knocking on my door."

This time, Li Yanchu turned his head and looked into the distance, and saw it clearly.

The young Taoist priest beside the strange man was none other than himself from before.

"!!!?"

Li Yanchu was greatly surprised.

A strong urge arose within me to quickly steer the ship over there and see clearly whether that person was my previous self or an illusion.

He quickly analyzed the situation in his mind.

"If that was my past self, what would happen if my present self met my past self?"
Li Yanchu noticed that he carefully examined the innate Dao Qi around him on the island, just like he had done before.

But then things changed. The islander absorbed the innate Dao Qi, and the dense innate Dao Qi disappeared.

Looking at the young Taoist priest on the island now, a look of joy appeared between his brows.

Li Yanchu asked in surprise, "Why did I collect the innate Dao Qi on the island?"

Not only that, after Li Yanchu finished collecting the innate Dao Qi on the island, he also set his sights on this burly, strange man, wanting to take him in as well.

Li Yanchu's lips twitched:
"Am I really that bold? What does this scene really represent?"
