The end of Gaowu: Becoming stronger from not practicing

Nine Suns Starfield.

The incarnation of the White Ocean Immortal Emperor appeared before the Nine Suns Immortal Emperor.

The two were drinking tea and playing chess.

The chess pieces are all living beings.

The chessboard is heaven and earth.

The law of cause and effect is the cycle of reincarnation.

Manipulated by the two Celestial Emperors, everyone was forced to enter their predetermined cycle of reincarnation.

Starting from the Golden Immortal realm, one can comprehend the power of the Dao.

Becoming a Great Golden Immortal allows one to access all sorts of Taoist powers.

Becoming a Nine Heavens Mystic Immortal allows one to create Daoist techniques.

Once one becomes a powerful Immortal Lord, the methods of cultivation become incredibly diverse. One can practice the methods of others, or create one's own unique laws and principles for the world.

Once one becomes a Celestial Emperor, their own Dao power can be injected into the Heavenly Dao, and even influence the laws of the Heavenly Dao.

What appears to be a game between the Nine Yang Immortal Emperor and the White Ocean Immortal Emperor is actually an attempt by the two to probe the opportunities of the Heavenly Dao, using the chessboard of heaven and earth and the cycle of cause and effect of all living beings to deduce their own karma.

Find their own destiny and opportunity within the cycle of cause and effect, merge their laws with the Heavenly Dao, and become the rightful masters of their respective domains.

Although the Nine Yang Immortal Emperor has only been an Immortal Emperor for six thousand years, his Dao has already formed a harmony with the laws of Heaven in his own star field.

All beings in the Nine Suns Starfield are bound by the karmic cycle of the Nine Suns Immortal Emperor, and even by the Heavenly Laws established by the Nine Suns Immortal Emperor.

The cycle of reincarnation allows the Nine Yang Immortal Emperor to see more of the causes and effects of reincarnation, and also brings him closer to the Heavenly Dao.

"boom!"

Baiyang Immortal Emperor makes his move.

Using the lives of Zixiao City as bargaining chips.

Hundreds of millions of living beings entered different cycles of cause and effect with him. Some gained enlightenment here, while others achieved breakthroughs at this time.

But many more lives were plunged into endless darkness.

The ambitious and proud Nine Heavens Immortal lost his chance to advance to Immortal Lord in the final stage of his breakthrough due to the lack of this cycle of cause and effect.

Countless lives, as this chess piece falls, enter the cycle of life and death, teetering on the edge of life and death, and being reborn in the cycle.

The cycle of reincarnation of all beings is like a series of marks appearing in the sight of the White Ocean Immortal Emperor. Their changes in reincarnation can provide the White Ocean Immortal Emperor with enlightenment and various key information.

This will allow Baiyang Immortal Emperor to gain a deeper understanding and mastery of the laws of reincarnation, bringing him closer to the Heavenly Dao.

All living beings are merely playthings in their hands.

Whether it was the White Ocean Immortal Emperor or the Nine Yang Immortal Emperor, when their cultivation encountered a bottleneck or a problem, they would use the lives of all living beings to deduce the solution.

With each simulation, everyone's fate changes.

Only those with powerful destinies are not bound by constraints, but such people are extremely rare. In the entire Blackwater Star Region, only one person, Zhang Lingfeng, has emerged.

In the upper world, many powerful immortals yearn to become disciples of powerful immortal emperors in order to receive the opportunities bestowed upon them. These opportunities involve sharing in some positive karmic cycles.

They all knew that Immortal Emperors held the lives of billions of living beings in their hands, and it was very easy for them to deduce the laws of Heaven or capture information about the cycle of reincarnation and cause and effect.

Sometimes, a single information gap can change a practitioner's entire life.

Some Immortal Lords who cannot become disciples of Immortal Emperors will stay away from the star fields guarded by Immortal Emperors, fearing that they will become tools for Immortal Emperors to calculate the laws of heaven or the cycle of reincarnation.

Although their destiny and fate allow them to grow into Immortal Lords and Immortal Emperors, the laws of deduction do not significantly interfere with them. However, even a slight difference can lead to vastly different outcomes, and no one dares to attempt such a thing lightly.

Invisibly.

The fates of many people in Zixiao City have changed.

Baiyang Immortal Emperor also found some of the causal and reincarnation information he wanted from it.

The Nine Yang Immortal Emperor then placed a chess piece, which was also one of billions of living beings. In the star field he controlled, there were the lives of a city, including more than a dozen Nine Heavens Mystic Immortals and a powerful Immortal Lord.

"boom!"

Two of the Xuanxian experts gained an opportunity during this divination, increasing their immortal energy and comprehending their own Dao techniques.

However, the remaining Xuanxian experts all went to the other extreme in the cycle of cause and effect, as if their vital energy had been stripped away, and they all lost the opportunity to advance.

Their life and death cycles are also in the hands of the Nine Yang Immortal Emperor.

The Nine Yang Immortal Emperor also saw many previously imperceptible negative or positive causal information in their cycle of life and death.

At this moment, the Heavenly Dao also roared.

Changing the karma of too many people will result in backlash and suppression from the Heavenly Dao; this depends on the strength of Immortal Emperor Baiyang and Immortal Emperor Jiuyang.

The figure of Baiyang Immortal Emperor has faded considerably.

He did not actually descend to earth.

His true body cannot leave Baiyang Immortal Emperor, and his clone cannot directly enter the Wuji Star Domain. If he forcibly rushes into the Wuji Star Domain, he may be able to kill Zhang Lingfeng, but he will also bring back countless negative karmas. These negative karmas will not only exist on him, but will also affect the life of the entire Baiyang Star Domain.

This caused him to stray further and further from the natural order.

Therefore, Baiyang Immortal Emperor did not attempt it lightly.

The two Immortal Emperors continued their contest.

This game of chess seems to have been going on for several years. The time cycles in which the two Immortal Emperors reside seem to be different from the world around them. In the eyes of external life forms, it seems to be just a moment.

In the perceptions of Baiyang Immortal Emperor and Jiuyang Immortal Emperor, the two seemed to have gone through countless reincarnations.

That's how capricious a Celestial Emperor can be.

They can manipulate other people's lives at will, and also change other people's reincarnation and karma.

As the Heavenly Dao's suppression grew stronger.

After Baiyang Immortal Emperor's figure became much more illusory, the contest between the two finally stopped. It was impossible to tell who had won or lost, but it was certain that all the beings under their control were the losers.

"The Boundless Star Domain is not necessarily inaccessible."

"That's what the Nine Yang Immortal Emperor said."

He knew that the White Ocean Immortal Emperor had come to him because he wanted him to enter the Boundless Star Domain and kill Zhang Lingfeng, and even the Dragon King and a group of ancient demons.

The news that ninety-six immortal lords had perished at the hands of Zhang Lingfeng and the Dragon King and other ancient demons had already spread throughout the upper world.

The reputation of Immortal Emperor Baiyang has been damaged, and even his karmic cycle has been affected. Immortal Emperor Baiyang will not let this go easily.

Those ninety-six immortal lords were not only disciples of the White Ocean Immortal Emperor, but also an important force used by the White Ocean Immortal Emperor to calculate cause and effect and reincarnation.

Will I be able to get promoted in the future?

Whether he can break free from the constraints of the Baiyang Starfield in the future through the cycle of time depends on the help of his disciples.

Some information about cause and effect and reincarnation cannot be deduced by ordinary life, and even if billions of lives are used as bargaining chips, it will be of no use.

Only beings like immortal lords can unlock the causal and reincarnation information they desire.

“Zhang Lingfeng’s destiny is extremely special. I originally wanted to use him to calculate the laws of time. If he falls into your hands, I can help you sever the bad karma and calculate the laws of time with you.”

Baiyang Immortal Emperor said.

In his eyes, Zhang Lingfeng was not only a life, but also an important source of information for calculating the laws of time.

He had calculated Zhang Lingfeng's karmic cycle many times. He wanted to know what Zhang Lingfeng relied on to become the ruler of the Blackwater Starfield and transform a primary starfield into a high-level starfield.

Despite repeated calculations, I still couldn't get the answer I wanted.

Zhang Lingfeng was becoming increasingly powerful, so powerful that he could no longer deduce Zhang Lingfeng's cause and effect. It was as if the Heavenly Dao was protecting Zhang Lingfeng.

Or rather, Zhang Lingfeng's destiny is related to the entire Heavenly Dao.

This was what shocked and even frightened Emperor Baiyang.

The karmic cycle of a powerful Immortal Lord is actually closely related to the Heavenly Dao, and even an Immortal Emperor cannot predict it, yet I have offended such a person.

Once the opponent breaks free from the shackles of the Heavenly Dao and becomes a powerful Immortal Emperor or a sixth-level Soul Master in the future, killing them will not be so easy.

It's even possible that the laws and cycles of the entire White Ocean Starfield, as well as the order of the Heavenly Dao, will be affected.

Therefore, things have come to this point, killing Zhang Lingfeng and destroying his karmic cycle is no longer just about Baiyang Immortal Emperor's reputation, but also about his future.

"If I enter the Boundless Star Domain, everything within it must belong to me."

"That's what the Nine Yang Immortal Emperor said."

The Boundless Starfield has too many negative karmas, and no Immortal Emperor dares to set foot in it casually, nor does he.

"Row."

Baiyang Immortal Emperor Dao.

“You must sever any negative karma, and at the same time lend me the Drum of Reincarnation.”

"Nine Yang Immortal Emperor added."

Whenever he enters the Boundless Star Domain, everything within it belongs to him.

The problem is, after being tainted by negative karma, how can one break free from those karmic entanglements? Therefore, the White Ocean Immortal Emperor wants to help him sever these karmic ties as much as possible.

But just to be on the safe side, he needed an important celestial artifact.

The Reincarnation Drum is a renowned treasure of the Upper World.

Last time, when a group of immortal emperors fought against the patriarch, the Reincarnation Drum played a crucial role, causing the patriarch to enter a vicious cycle of reincarnation and be bound by countless negative karmas.

Finally, a group of Celestial Emperors subdued the Ancestor in the cycle of reincarnation and suppressed him in the White Ocean Starfield.

Because Baiyang Immortal Emperor held the Reincarnation Drum, he could prevent the ancestor from entering the cycle of reincarnation and thus from being unable to find his trace. In the future, he was resurrected and reborn, becoming a powerful seventh-level Soul Master once again.

That's why the White Ocean Immortal Emperor cannot leave the White Ocean Star Region.

Once he's gone.

Not only will the sealing formation be affected, but if the patriarch is reincarnated and returns in the future, Bai Yang will be the first to suffer.

That's how terrifying an immortal level seven Soul Master is.

“You don’t want the Drum of Reincarnation, just say so.”

Baiyang Immortal Emperor remained calm.

The Reincarnation Drum cannot be given to anyone.

The Nine Yang Immortal Emperor merely wanted to make him back down so that he could gain the benefits.

"A sword worn close to the body."

The Dao of the Nine Yang Immortal Emperor.

Baiyang Immortal Emperor possesses many powerful immortal artifacts.

The sword I carry close to my body is called Moonlight.

It can sever the cycle of cause and effect in reincarnation.

Once he enters the Boundless Star Domain, if he is entangled by negative karma, he can use the Moonlight Sword to sever many entanglements. If Zhang Lingfeng and other ancient demons sense danger and enter the cycle of reincarnation, he can also intercept them and prevent them from gaining the opportunity to be resurrected.

They'll cause him trouble later.

"I can only borrow you once."

Baiyang Immortal Emperor said.

The Moonlight Sword can sever the cycle of cause and effect, but it will also bring him a lot of trouble.

It won't be too late to borrow the Moonlight Sword once the Nine Yang Immortal Emperor enters the Boundless Starfield and captures Zhang Lingfeng and the others.

"make a deal."

"That's what the Nine Yang Immortal Emperor said."

He then used the lives of an entire city in the Nine Suns Star Region as a price to calculate what he would encounter after entering the Boundless Star Region, and whether it would bring fatal damage to his future.

"boom!"

The laws of Heaven trembled.

The Nine Yang Immortal Emperor found himself seemingly having glimpsed crucial information, yet he was being prevented from doing so by the Heavenly Dao.

The reaction from Heaven was so strong.

This made him start to feel uneasy.

"The Boundless Star Domain was the battlefield back then. You know in your heart how many Immortal Emperors died there. The cause and effect of reincarnation there is not so easy to see. Not to mention you and me, even the Soul Emperor could not do it."

Baiyang Immortal Emperor said.

The most terrifying thing about the Boundless Starfield is not the negative karma it causes and effects, but that once you step into it, you will never know what will happen next.

Immortal Emperors do not take risks.

The inability to see the underlying causal order is the greatest form of negative causal relationship.

Therefore, to allow the Nine Yang Immortal Emperor to enter the Boundless Star Domain, not only does it require the descent of the White Ocean Immortal Emperor's avatar, but also various other sacrifices must be made.

"I will capture Zhang Lingfeng alive, and then calculate the cause and effect in the Baiyang Star Region. The Moonlight Sword will be used then."

"That's what the Nine Yang Immortal Emperor said."

Capturing Zhang Lingfeng would be a piece of cake for him.

The main problem is how to leave the Boundless Starfield easily without being entangled by the lives that died there.

Even the deceased Immortal Emperors, their information will be deduced and linger in the cycle of cause and effect again and again, and even the Heavenly Dao cannot erase them from the cycle of history.

The karmic cycle left behind by these people might cause the Nine Yang Immortal Emperor to suffer a major setback. Therefore, after leaving the Boundless Starfield, he needs the Moonlight Sword to sever the karmic cycle and avoid being entangled by the karma left behind by the Immortal Emperors who died in the Boundless Starfield, which could lead to various troubles in the future.

He knew that some powerful Immortal Emperors had comprehended many powerful Dao techniques, and even if their souls were scattered, their Dao techniques could continue to linger in the cycle of cause and effect.

Some beings defy the heavens and can even protect themselves within the cycles of reincarnation and karma of others, seeking opportunities to possess another's body and be reborn.

The Nine Yang Immortal Emperor has only been an Immortal Emperor for six thousand years.

Most of the deceased Immortal Emperors had cultivated for hundreds of thousands of years. Even if only a trace of their aura remained in the Boundless Star Domain, it could create a very large causal effect, thus affecting every life that entered the Boundless Star Domain.

Historically, there was a deceased Immortal Emperor who, relying on his own Daoist power, was given the opportunity to be reborn after a new Immortal Emperor mastered that Daoist technique.

Ultimately, through that Daoist technique, they devoured that Immortal Emperor, thus making a comeback.

Every departing Immortal Emperor likely left behind a contingency plan.

Back then, so many powerful Immortal Emperors attacked our Ancestral Master together. Those fallen Immortal Emperors were among the most powerful people of that time, and they all possessed powerful Dao techniques that have been passed down in the Upper World. It's even possible that they have merged with the ancient demons of the Boundless Star Domain. (End of Chapter)
