The end of Gaowu: Becoming stronger from not practicing

Zhang Lingfeng set up his stall as usual.

People come and go in the bustling city, each with their own karmic trajectory. Some have already been reincarnated, while others have lost their way in the cycle of reincarnation.

But no matter how strong a life may be, it will eventually fade away like smoke.

After attaining the status of Immortal Emperor, Zhang Lingfeng merged his Daoist arts with the Heavenly Dao and took control of the Heavenly Dao's laws, thus becoming a true ruler-level being.

He can see the causal trajectory of many people and clearly see the direction of many people's reincarnation, but even he cannot control his own karma, nor can he see his own reincarnation trajectory.

You can't even easily change the cause-and-effect trajectory of others.

Just like Liu Xiaolong and his group.

When Zhang Lingfeng first met Liu Xiaolong, he discovered Liu Xiaolong's destiny: he could one day attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and might even become a Nine Heavens Mystic Immortal.

The other party obtained an opportunity on my side and quickly attained the status of an Earth Immortal.

However, with the appearance of the Black Bear Immortal Lord, Liu Xiaolong's karma changed.

It suddenly turned sharply downwards.

When the Black Bear Immortal Lord threw out the ring containing one million Yuan Stones, the karma of Liu Xiaolong and Yang Suo became completely dark.

Death is their final destination.

No other causal opportunity has emerged.

Zhang Lingfeng realized that everyone's karmic cycle would constantly change with time and the appearance of new people.

The reason why people are unwilling to interfere with the cause and effect of others is to avoid getting caught up in more cycles of cause and effect, which would cause them to be deeply trapped in negative cause and effect.

If Liu Xiaolong hadn't encountered the Black Bear Immortal Lord, hadn't seen those million Yuan Stones, or had been able to resist the temptation, perhaps Liu Xiaolong's karmic path would have ultimately followed Zhang Lingfeng's prediction, leading him to become a Great Luo Golden Immortal or even a Nine Heavens Mystic Immortal in the future.

Of course, if Liu Xiaolong can overcome this quagmire of cause and effect and eventually obtain one million spirit stones, coupled with the insights he gained from Zhang Lingfeng, his achievements may be even greater.

Or perhaps they would become a Great Golden Immortal or a Nine Heavens Mystic Immortal even earlier.

Zhang Lingfeng appears to be observing the causal cycle of all beings, but in reality, he also wants to find his own profound understanding of cause and effect from the causal cycle of all beings, so as to get rid of all kinds of bad causes and effects.

He finally understood that the contest between Immortal Emperors, besides the clash of Dao techniques, mainly depended on their mastery of cause and effect and reincarnation.

Therefore, the laws of cause and effect and the laws of reincarnation are the supreme powers.

Mastering these two methods will allow one to navigate the complexities of cause and effect and reincarnation with ease, becoming an unshakeable force. It will enable one to sever negative karmic ties and cut off unhealthy cycles of reincarnation, among other things.

The tea stall continued to operate.

Immortal Emperor Lingfeng seemed to have vanished into the Boundless Starfield. Even the Dragon King, Demon Cloud Teng, and even the Yellow River could not sense any fluctuations in Zhang Lingfeng's aura.

A five-year-old child came to the tea stall today.

He is a reborn individual.

In his past life, he was revealed to be a celestial being from the Nine Heavens.

The purpose of entering the Boundless Starfield this time is to seek opportunities.

He was tainted with many negative karmas, and was being hunted down by powerful immortals. His resurrection was due to his near death at the hands of an immortal in his previous life.

But in this life, the karmic ties have not yet been severed.

That powerful immortal lord has been searching for him.

Searching for traces of his presence.

Immortal Lords are also beings who control the power of the Dao. They can use the power of the Dao to deduce some causal information and perhaps find their reincarnated enemies.

The "child" liked to play chess with Zhang Lingfeng.

Although he tried his best to conceal that he was a reincarnated person, how could he escape Zhang Lingfeng's eyes? His chess skills were full of killing intent. In his previous life, he was a Nine Heavens Mystic Immortal and a cultivator who started from the Tribulation stage.

It is a powerful being, and also a terrifying one.

Zhang Lingfeng remained uninvolved in karma, quietly playing chess with the child. Days passed in this way, and the child came more and more frequently. Later on, whenever Zhang Lingfeng set up his stall, the child would appear immediately, even earlier than Zhang Lingfeng in the bustling market.

He was also gradually getting bigger.

The killing intent contained within the chess skills grew stronger and stronger, as if it could devour all power.

Zhang Lingfeng countered each move, gradually witnessing a completely new causal trajectory: with his help, the child's cultivation level returned to its former peak.

That powerful immortal lord also came knocking.

It turned out to be the Black Bear Immortal Lord.

Zhang Lingfeng then realized that although the Black Bear Immortal Lord had not been able to kill the child in his previous life, he had left behind a karmic entanglement during the crucial stage of the child's reincarnation.

This prevents the child from escaping this karmic cycle. No matter what kind of life he is reincarnated into, he will encounter him again after becoming a Nine Heavens Mystic Immortal, and be destroyed by him once more.

It turns out that the Black Bear Immortal Lord's family members were also cultivators who had undergone tribulation in their previous lives. They were fellow cultivators with the child in their past lives, but due to a fortuitous encounter, the child killed them instead.

Black Bear Immortal Lord was once chased by a child, but later, after gaining a fortuitous opportunity and becoming a powerful Immortal Lord, he was able to avenge himself.

But the child had already sensed the danger.

Having made preparations for reincarnation in advance, he ultimately succeeded in being resurrected and reborn.

The child is the inner demon within the Black Bear Immortal Lord.

Zhang Lingfeng was stunned.

Although he seemed to be outside of this cause and effect, in reality, both the fate of Liu Xiaolong and the others, as well as the Black Bear Immortal Lord's future killing of children, were related to his existence.

Not only did he see their cause and effect clearly, but he also indirectly helped the child, making it easier for him to become a Nine Heavens Mystic Immortal, allowing the Black Bear Immortal Lord to find the child more quickly and achieve revenge once again.

"The Dragon King is right. No one can escape the cycle of cause and effect, not even the Celestial Emperor. Perhaps the Heavenly Dao is also within its own causal trajectory."

Zhang Lingfeng sighed.

He set up a stall to play chess with people, just to better lie down and earn more "lying down points" to help himself become a level 6 Soul Yuan Master, possess more Immortal Emperor True Yuan Body, and even become a level 7 Soul Yuan Master in the future.

Zhang Lingfeng is preparing a powerful move.

Since a level seven Soul Essence Master will be hunted down and besieged by all Immortal Emperors, if I were to become a level seven Soul Essence Master, I must have the strength to break through cause and effect and fight against all Immortal Emperors.

Otherwise, I would rather become a seventh-level Soul Master later than easily enter that terrifying causal situation.

Therefore, accumulating "lying down" points has become extremely important. At this moment, he is not worried about how long it will take; he only hopes that he can obtain more and more "lying down" points.

He aspires to become the Immortal Emperor with the strongest True Essence among all Immortal Emperors, and the strongest one to come into contact with the power of the Dao.

To become the most powerful Soul Yuan Master among the seventh-level Soul Yuan Masters, one must be able to avoid being besieged by Immortal Emperor level experts.

Only then do they possess the power to turn the tide.

Unexpectedly, even though he tried his best to avoid getting tainted by the karma of others while earning "lying down value," he still couldn't escape this law of heaven.

It seems that as long as one comes into contact with life, one will inevitably fall into its cause and effect to some extent. The difference lies in the degree of involvement of cause and effect, and the difference between good and bad cause and effect.

……

Zhang Lingfeng set up his stall as usual.

It's like a symbol in a bustling city.

"Shopkeeper, a bowl of spiritual tea, please."

A swordsman walked into the tea stall.

At this point, Zhang Lingfeng no longer forced anyone to play chess with him. The tea stall also started doing business. Anyone who wanted to drink tea could do so by giving him some spirit stone fragments. Whether or not to play chess or mahjong was up to the individual.

"okay."

Zhang Lingfeng got up to pour a bowl of spiritual tea for the female cultivator, but suddenly his hand was grabbed by the child, whose eyes were red, as if he had sensed something.

Checkmate on the chessboard.

Zhang Lingfeng was taken aback, realizing that Black Bear Immortal Lord had reappeared in the bustling city since returning the ring last time.

Black Bear Immortal Lord may not know that the child is the one he is hunting down, but the child knows that Black Bear Immortal Lord is his enemy.

For some reason, the moment Zhang Lingfeng got up to leave, his hair stood on end, and he felt as if his life was hanging by a thread.

"Shopkeeper, I'm thirsty," the female cultivator called out.

Zhang Lingfeng looked at the child, then at the female cultivator, and finally at the Black Bear Immortal Lord who was walking towards them.

A complete cause-and-effect trajectory seemed to appear out of thin air before my eyes.

Although the female cultivator only had the cultivation level of an Earth Immortal, she had encountered a child from her previous life when she was at the Human Immortal stage, and she was even the child's abductor.

I almost lost my soul.

Having barely escaped a calamity, and after thousands of years of cultivation, he has finally attained the status of an Earth Immortal. His aptitude is far weaker than Zhuang Bihao's.

"Go quickly and come back soon."

The child slowly loosened his grip, seemingly worried about being noticed.

"it is good."

Zhang Lingfeng poured a bowl of spiritual tea for the female cultivator.

At that moment, the Black Bear Immortal walked into the tea stall.

"Whoosh!"

The child finally lost control and used his magical powers, leaving only a wisp of green smoke as he disappeared from the tea stall.

Black Bear Immortal was taken aback.

My eyes immediately fell on the child's spot, and I recognized a familiar presence.

"I finally found you."

The Black Bear Immortal was overjoyed and quickly gave chase.

A cloud of blood mist appeared in the distance.

The child's screams rang out; this time, he could not be resurrected.

Completely gone.

Upon witnessing this scene, the female cultivator hurriedly finished her spiritual tea, left behind a few fragments of spirit stones, and quickly left the bustling city, fearing that she would be caught in the crossfire.

With only the cultivation level of a mere Earth Immortal, the aura emanating from the Black Bear Immortal Lord was so powerful that he could kill her with a single breath, so she dared not linger.

Over the years, she has come to understand the true meaning of the Way of the Gou, and she knows clearly what she should do in what kind of environment she is in.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Black Bear Immortal Lord returned, laughing heartily.

This time, he felt completely refreshed, as if he had attained the status of an Immortal Emperor, but the power of his inner demons had not been dispelled. The fluctuations released by an Immortal Lord were exceptionally powerful.

The entire city of Shenfeng was trembling.

Many powerful figures from prominent families quickly came out and knelt down to greet them.

The bustling city is deserted.

People cannot withstand the fluctuations of an Immortal Lord's aura for too long; even a Nine Heavens Mystic Immortal trembles with fear.

Zhang Lingfeng's tea stall was reduced to ashes.

He followed the crowd away and watched from a distance.

"We were unaware of the arrival of a powerful immortal lord, and we have failed to greet you properly. Please forgive us."

The prominent families, led by the Yan family, bowed respectfully to the Black Bear Immortal Lord.

"Haha, I'm in a great mood today and plan to stay in Divine Wind City from now on. What do you all think?"

"Black Bear Immortal Lord laughed."

The Yan family head and everyone else sensed something was wrong.

However, feeling the aura emanating from the other party, which almost enveloped the entire Divine Phoenix City and locked onto them from the very beginning, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and come out to greet them.

The group could only say, "Very well, it is a blessing for all cultivators in Shenfeng City that the Immortal Lord can stay here."

"If we could be bathed in the Daoist teachings of the Immortal Lord, it would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"I am willing to serve the Immortal Lord."

……

The others quickly echoed this sentiment.

"Ah, the most fun and the most unbearable thing about becoming an Immortal Emperor is being able to deduce cause and effect and see through the turning points in the fate of every life."

Zhang Lingfeng sighed.

He continued to watch as everything changed from the perspective of an observer.

Lying flat value: 433.2

Immortal Essence: 19238.3
Soul element: 1522
Immortal Essence Dao Technique: (100/100) Avoidance

Soul Essence Dao Technique: (100/100) Weakened

Level 5 Soul Essence Cultivation Method: (1/100)

Dingkun: (100/100)

Realm: Immortal Emperor, Level 5 Soul Master

After attaining the Immortal Emperor realm, it becomes increasingly difficult to obtain "lying down" points. Even if one sets up a tea stall and accumulates them intermittently, it only amounts to a little over four million "lying down" points.

Fortunately, as he attained the status of Immortal Emperor, the Immortal Yuan Dao Law was evaded, and the Soul Yuan Dao Law was weakened, all of which were integrated into the Heavenly Dao. Even the cultivation technique "Ding Kun," which merged with the Heavenly Dao Law, reached 100% perfection in its values.

Zhang Lingfeng hesitated, wondering whether he should add all of the more than four million points of "lying down" value he had obtained to the Level 5 Soul Essence Cultivation Method.

This Level 5 Soul Essence Cultivation Method is the lower part of the cultivation method.

Once it is upgraded to perfection, its soul essence should reach the level of a sixth-level soul essence master.

After much deliberation, Zhang Lingfeng decided to continue waiting. He needed to obtain both the Level 6 and Level 7 Soul Essence Cultivation Methods to ensure that he could contend with any number of Immortal Emperors during this advancement.

"Lingfeng Immortal Emperor's True Essence Cultivation Method".

Zhang Lingfeng was forced to deduce the cultivation method for procreation.

After becoming an Immortal Emperor, he learned that the so-called Immortal Emperor True Essence Cultivation Method was created by the Immortal Emperors themselves. Although there were other Immortal Emperor True Essence Cultivation Methods on the market, they were not suitable for him to cultivate.

Even if the "lying down value" is added, which can increase the amount of Immortal Emperor's True Essence, the resulting changes are far less significant than the Immortal Emperor's True Essence Cultivation Method that I created myself.

After much deliberation, Zhang Lingfeng decided to dedicate one or two hours each day to creating his own Immortal Emperor True Essence Cultivation Method.

As long as you're not in a rush, it won't affect your ability to lie flat and gradually increase your Immortal Emperor True Essence.

"It's just that poor little golden dragon has suffered."

Zhang Lingfeng sighed.

Zhang Lingfeng also wanted to rescue the little golden dragon, but his strength did not allow it. Once he stepped into the Baiyang Star Region, he had to rescue the little golden dragon and ensure that he could defeat the Baiyang Immortal Emperor, or even kill him.

If possible, Zhang Lingfeng hoped to help the Dragon King restore his Dragon Emperor cultivation level. If they joined forces, their chances of victory would be much higher.

Secondly, Baiyang Immortal Emperor has a wide network of connections.

It's impossible to send other Immortal Emperors into the Boundless Starfield to deal with him again, but it's entirely possible that other Immortal Emperors would come to help Immortal Emperor Baiyang when he enters the White Ocean Starfield.

Time flies.

Two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Black Bear Immortal Lord thought he had eliminated his inner demons, but in reality, his inner demons grew stronger and his desires grew stronger, and he became the city lord of Divine Wind City.

From then on, he would always seek out Zhang Lingfeng at the tea stall to play chess.

On the surface, Zhang Lingfeng's life was exactly the same as before. He spent his days setting up a stall to play chess or mahjong, as well as creating the Lingfeng Immortal Emperor True Essence Cultivation Method.
