Chapter 151: The Way of Cause and Effect
Li Anran only cares about the substance and not the appearance.
However, Heaven will not allow a timid and cowardly prison keeper god!
The guests of the Xianming Conference include almost all the immortals of the Xuanmen sect. Everything that happens here will soon spread throughout the three realms.
At that time, as long as someone reported him, the Jade Emperor would definitely remove him from his position as the prison god for the sake of the face of the Heavenly Court.
This is something he can't accept no matter what!
"Are you worthy enough for me to prove myself?"
Li Anran spoke calmly, and felt the same way in his heart.
There is no anger, no pride, no joy, just a little emotion!
"The law of cause and effect is truly mysterious!"
Disasters are caused by cause and effect. The deeper the entanglement of cause and effect, the greater the disaster, and the more helpless one is!
He only understood this principle in the past, but now he has a personal experience of it.
Luo Xuan humiliated and provoked him in front of everyone at the Xianming Conference. It could be said to be an unsolvable conspiracy!
The hatred between them, his status and position, and even his golden finger are all the cause and effect that are entangled with him!
Unless he is willing to give up these things, he will have no choice but to enter into this catastrophe and end things with Luo Xuan!
The two tribes of wizards and liches and the two sects of Chan and Jie must have been equally helpless back then!
Li Anran had thought about this before: among the two races of wizards and liches and the two sects of Chan and Jie, who were caught up in the catastrophe, wasn’t there a single smart person who realized that something was wrong?
Now it seems that it’s not that there are no smart people, but that the cause and effect are entangled and interests are involved, and both sides have no way out at all!
Li Anran's understanding of the law of cause and effect has deepened a bit, and several thoughts flashed through his mind.
However, before he could think about it, Luo Xuan was already furious and shouted, "What did you say!"
boom!
The rage wrapped in magic power surged out, forming a red flame behind him. The murderous intent rose into the sky, as if it were real, and pressed towards Li Anran.
Everyone's expression changed.
The disciples who were unaware of the grudge between Li Anran and Luo Xuan were frightened by the horrifying scene before them. They thought that Luo Xuan had a very bad temper and was ready to kill someone just because of a disagreement.
Those who knew what happened between the two knew that Li Anran had fallen into Luo Xuan's trap, and Luo Xuan really wanted to kill her.
However, they also knew that this was just an appearance. Behind the scenes, Jiejiao wanted to take this opportunity to break up with Xuanmen in order to avoid this catastrophe.
Taishang Laojun, Nanji Xianweng, Daoxing Tianzun...
Even Taiyi Zhenren, who had a hot temper and valued his reputation, suppressed his anger and chose to turn a blind eye.
Red flowers, white lotus roots and green lotus leaves, the three religions are actually one family!
Jiejiao has always been a part of Xuanmen!
Get out of the mysterious world? Stay out of it?
Don’t even think about it!
As for the old story of Conferred Gods and what the disciples of Jiejiao think.
They don't care!
The interests of Xuanmen are the most important!
Li Anran raised his head slightly, looking at Luo Xuan, whose face was ferocious and murderous, without dodging or evading, and remained indifferent.
He was like a reef, allowing the murderous waves to wash over him. The calmness and indifference in his heart surprised even himself.
What he saw in his eyes was no longer Luo Xuan, but the uncontrollable ecstasy in Luo Xuan's heart and the hatred that wanted to kill him!
It was the anger and dissatisfaction suppressed under the indifferent expression of Renchan Erjiao!
It is the unconcealed joy and anticipation of the disciples of Jiejiao!
interesting!
Li Anran felt all of this carefully.
He seemed to be able to see lines of cause and effect entwining all the people present.
No matter they are disciples who have just stepped into the path of immortality, or those great masters of the Xuanmen who have already attained the state of Daluo, or those noble immortals from the Three Realms.
No matter how good their cultivation, physique, luck, or character are, they cannot escape the bondage of cause and effect.
It’s not a puppet, but it looks like a puppet!
Under the entanglement of this cause and effect, one is played at the mercy of the laws of nature and humanity!
Li Anran couldn't help but look up above himself.
In the ancient novels of the past life, it was always written that the time traveler was a variable, a one who escaped.
I wonder if he, a time traveler, has those causal lines above his head?
His eyes accidentally swept over Luo Xuan, and Li Anran suddenly laughed.
He doesn't know whether it will change or not.
He was not sure whether it was the one who escaped.
But I think this kind of causal entanglement should exist!
That’s right!
Even plants, trees, and stones in this world are entangled in cause and effect, let alone a living person like him!
"Li Anran! What are you laughing at!"
Luo Xuan was angered by Li Anran's smile and gnashed his teeth and said, "Do you think I dare not kill you?"
"Just you?" Li Anran said calmly, with curiosity and amusement in his eyes.
It was not directed at Luo Xuan in front of him, but at the entangled cause and effect!
The law of cause and effect is so wonderful, he wants to pull the thread of cause and effect to see what effect it will cause!
"Um?!!"
Taishang Laojun seemed to have suddenly realized something, his expression changed, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Li Anran, with a look of horror and disbelief in his eyes.
Almost at the same time, Taiyi Zhenren, Nanji Xianweng, Wudang Shengmu, Jinling Shengmu... and other powerful people seemed to have noticed something and turned to look at Li Anran.
no!
Did he have another epiphany?!
How is this possible!
Just a few words and you had an epiphany?
Didn't he just have an epiphany?
The immortals could no longer maintain their previous indifferent appearance. They stared at Li Anran with wide eyes, trying to find out the reason.
But the more they looked, the more surprised they were!
It’s the same epiphany, but there are differences between epiphanies!
Li Anran had previously gained enlightenment about the Nine Dragon Formation, and what he had realized was the technique and the method!
This time, what I realized was the Tao!
The two are completely incomparable!
Countless extremely mysterious runes of the Great Dao flashed in Li Anran's eyes, and a breath of the Great Dao that was difficult to perceive with divine sense permeated around him.
Li Anran was so immersed in thinking about the law of cause and effect that he was completely unaware that he was experiencing an epiphany.
However, in the perception of great powers such as Taishang Laojun and Taiyi Zhenren, the aura of Li Anran became more and more profound and unfathomable under the influence of the Great Dao, and his cultivation level also skyrocketed at an exaggerated and indescribable speed.
For others, sudden enlightenment improves the spirit among essence, energy and spirit, while essence and energy will only be slightly improved!
For Li Anran, who practiced the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong and integrated essence, energy and spirit into one, the transformation of spirit also led to the transformation of essence and energy. The combination of the three resulted in a rapid increase in cultivation!
In just a moment, Li Anran's cultivation level broke through from the first level of Golden Immortal to the second level of Golden Immortal, and there is no sign of stopping!
Luo Xuan was unaware of this. Seeing Li Anran provoking him again, he could no longer suppress his anger and urgency, and shouted, "You're looking for death!"
He flipped his right hand, took out the Zhaotian Seal, and offered it to Li Anran.
Buzz!
The Zhaotian Seal shone brightly, and the dragon and phoenix figures carved on it instantly came to life, flying out from the Zhaotian Seal with red-gold flames, and pounced on Li Anran like a meteor.
"The sun is really hot?!"
Nezha was shocked, with a worried look on his face: "Where did Luo Xuan find the Sun's True Fire? His cultivation is much stronger than it was three hundred years ago!"
Most of the disciples of Jiejiao who escaped from the List of Gods chose to reincarnate, but there were a few exceptions.
Luo Xuan is one of them!
He was transformed from the first acquired flame in the world, and his abilities were no different from those of an innate creature. In addition, he was born early and had accumulated a great many treasures.
Among them was a ball of real solar fire left behind when Houyi shot down the sun and the Golden Crow fell!
After he escaped from the List of Conferred Gods, he used this ball of true sun fire to reshape his body. Coupled with the luck brought by breaking through the calamity, it only took him three hundred years to break through to the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal.
All the magic weapons have also been re-refined.
The strength is more than ten times stronger than before!
This is also the reason why he had the confidence to offend Taiyi Zhenren and dared to take action at this Xianming Conference!
Nezha had a solemn look on his face, his hand under the table tightly clenched around the Hun Tian Ling.
Once Li Anran shows signs of defeat, he will immediately take action to rescue Li Anran!
"I don't believe that my master will just sit back and allow Luo Xuan to bully me!" Nezha thought secretly.
His lotus body is naturally restrained by fire. He was no match for Luo Xuan back then, and he is most likely no match for him now.
However, this is in Jinguandong, his home court!
His master, Taiyi Zhenren, could choose not to help Li Anran, an outsider, but he couldn't ignore his disciple...
Before Nezha could finish his thought, there was a sudden thunderous explosion in the void. The golden light that filled the cave suddenly condensed together and turned into a nine-clawed golden dragon that intercepted the Fire Phoenix and Fire Dragon halfway.
"Master?!" Nezha was stunned. He didn't expect that Taiyi Zhenren would take direct action.
Li Anran was also a little surprised, but he was distracted for only a moment and then focused his attention on the cause and effect changes again.
His action will cause the cause and effect line to change!
Taiyi Zhenren would do the same thing, only the changes would be different!
Luo Xuan's expression changed slightly, but he did not dare to show weakness. He activated his magic weapon to control the fire dragon and fire phoenix to fight against the nine-clawed golden dragon.
However, the gap between his strength and that of Taiyi Zhenren is too great!
Not to mention, this is in Jinguan Cave, the Taoist temple of Taiyi Zhenren!
roar!
The nine-clawed golden dragon let out a dragon roar, dodged the siege of the fire dragon and fire phoenix, and grabbed forward with its two dragon claws.
Buzz!
The Fire Phoenix and the Fire Dragon seemed to be squeezed by some invisible force and let out two mournful cries. They shrank from the size of the Nine-clawed Golden Dragon to about the same size as the claws of the Golden Dragon, and were directly grabbed by the Golden Dragon.
Bang! Bang!
The nine-clawed golden dragon exerted force, and the fire dragon and fire phoenix were directly crushed, turning into a pile of sparks that dissipated between heaven and earth.
Bang!
Immediately afterwards, the nine-clawed golden dragon flew towards the Zhaotian Seal in mid-air, and slapped it down with a claw, directly knocking the Zhaotian Seal back to Luo Xuan.
"you!"
Luo Xuan's face turned pale, but he also understood the gap between himself and Taiyi Zhenren. He did not humiliate himself again, but said in a deep voice: "Taiyi Tianzun, this is a matter between me and Li Anran, do you want to interfere?"
"Daoist Luo Xuan."
Taiyi Zhenren said, "Regarding Qiu Yin's matter, I had already agreed with Junior Sister Wudang that the grudge between him and Nezha, the Prison God, would be limited to them. No one else would be involved, whether in life or death. If you take action now, where would I and Junior Sister Wudang be placed?"
Luo Xuan flatly denied it, "This matter has nothing to do with Junior Brother Qiu Yin!"
Taiyi Zhenren said: "Even so, this Immortal Tea Conference is organized by me. You and the Prison God are my guests. What is your intention in taking action here? People who don't know would think you are deliberately trying to embarrass me and that my Chan and Jie sects are at odds with each other!"
Luo Xuan said: "There's no need for so many twists and turns in this matter! I just can't stand those people who pretend to be so arrogant! This Li Anran is talking nonsense. If you say that he listens..."
"Brother Luo Xuan, that's enough."
The Holy Mother Wu Dang interrupted Luo Xuan and said in a deep voice, "Let's end this matter here!"
The only explanation for why Li Anran was able to gain enlightenment twice in such a short period of time is that he really understood what everyone was saying!
Although this is incredible, it is the only reasonable explanation!
If he continues to make trouble, Luo Xuan will bring shame upon himself!
This is also the reason why Taiyi Zhenren took decisive action to block Luo Xuan for Li Anran.
The guess of Holy Mother Wu Dang was not wrong.
Li Anran indeed understood everything, and that was why he had this epiphany!
Because of the existence of the Book of Punishment, what Li Anran learned was extremely diverse and profound.
But even so, he only understood most of the sermons of Sanqing, Wudang Shengmu and others, and most of them were just superficial.
However, he has the system cheat code, so he can directly use the experience value level to the maximum!
In this way, he not only understood everything, but in some aspects, he was even no worse than those who preached!
All these accumulated experience also enabled him to gain new insights in a short period of time!
"Senior Sister Wu Dang!"
Luo Xuan didn't understand why the Holy Mother Wu Dang interrupted him, and wanted to say something else, but when he saw the Holy Mother Wu Dang glaring at him, he had to swallow the rest of his words.
However, Luo Xuan was too embarrassed to stay any longer. He glared at Li Anran hatefully, then turned into a ray of red light and flew out.
Wu Dang Shengmu looked at Taiyi Zhenren with an apologetic look on her face and said, "Senior Brother Taiyi, fellow Taoists, Junior Brother Luo Xuan has a straightforward temper and sometimes acts impulsively. I apologize to you all on his behalf!"
"Fellow Daoist Wu Dang, you are too kind." Taishang Laojun was the first to speak: "It's just some misunderstandings, it will be fine after we talk it out."
"Junior Sister Wudang, there is no need to do this."
Taiyi Zhenren said meaningfully: "The three religions of Chan, Jie and Ren are originally one family, and Junior Brother Luo Xuan is also my junior brother."
"That's right." Nan Ji Xian Weng and others spoke up in agreement.
The Holy Mother Wu Dang pretended not to hear it, and still had a faint smile on her lips, without making any comment.
Bixiao and Qiongxiao who were standing by were extremely angry, gritting their teeth. If Yunxiao hadn't held them back, they would have jumped out to question Taiyi Zhenren and the others.
Wu Dang Shengmu said: "Brother Taiyi, we have drunk tea and discussed the Dao today, so let's stop here."
"Good." Taiyi Zhenren did not try to keep him.
He invited all the disciples of Jiejiao to this Xianming Conference in order to ease the relationship with Jiejiao.
Unexpectedly, the Jiejiao sect showed him no mercy at all!
But it’s okay this way!
He also knew the attitude of Jiejiao, so he didn't have to worry about it in the future!
