Chapter 43 The Way of Cause and Effect, The Mysterious Laws of the Heavenly Stele

"I'm not going..."

The young man, whom he called Brother He Lang, stopped what he was doing and was about to say something when suddenly his eyebrows twitched and a look of excitement flashed in his eyes.

"Then go and take a look with me."

He Lang's tone changed abruptly, his original refusal turned into a complete 180-degree turn. He then threw down the fishing net in his hand and walked towards a small village not far from the Yellow River.

"Brother, are we not fishing today?"

Xiao Chen was full of questions, feeling that He Lang was too fickle.

"Let's stop fighting. Didn't you say you wanted to watch Goddess Lanno break through the void? Let's go back and prepare."

He Lang's words reached Xiao Chen's ears from afar, leaving him somewhat bewildered. Why did he need to prepare anything if he was just going to watch?

However, Xiao Chen was no longer surprised by his older brother's strange behavior.

When he was eight years old, his older brother came from outside the village and settled down there.

He said he couldn't make a living outside, and when he passed by this place, he thought the environment was nice. After giving the villagers a few taels of silver, he settled down in their village and made a living by fishing. It is said that he practiced a martial arts technique that allowed him to control water, so no matter how turbulent the Yellow River was, he could catch fish every day.

However, Xiao Chen always felt that his older brother's statement was a lie. When he was a child, he always heard his older brother say things like, "I will wield my battle sword and slay the heavens. I don't need any cheat codes. I can surpass myself."

He also told him stories of various powerful figures, including one called the Desolate Emperor who rose from the Great Wilderness, dominating all ages and separating worlds with a single sword.

The stable boy, after embarking on the path of cultivation, achieved immortality and ruled over the three thousand Great Daos.

A seemingly useless man who was jilted by his fiancée rose to become the supreme Flame Emperor.

How could someone be an ordinary person to know so many stories of how powerful people rose to power, and even the secrets between these powerful people and their wives?

He took note of it at the time, and later discovered that this man would dive into the Yellow River every day, staying there for a long time like a fish or dragon before coming ashore. He was fascinated by this and asked to learn martial arts from him, but was refused. He was told that the technique he practiced was the supreme technique and that he should just continue to practice it.

Not long after, Xiao Chen discovered that the older brother also had traces of the cultivation technique he had practiced, and then he vaguely realized that He Lang was looking for the ancient Yellow River stele that he had seen before.

Moreover, he had clearly sensed over the years that his elder brother had lost his former vigor, but now he seemed to have regained that vigor, which made Xiao Chen think that his suggestion was quite good.

Thinking this, Xiao Chen followed He Lang briskly back to the village.

He Lang, from the Immortal Realm, didn't have time to pay attention to Xiao Chen. After returning home, a smile gradually appeared on his face.

"My true self, you've finally arrived. If you hadn't come, I was planning to die of old age in Zulong Village."

He Lang from the Realm of Immortality was speechless at He Lang's words. They had just shared a batch of memories and knew about He Lang's situation in the Realm of Immortality.

The projection of this world is quite weak, with a cultivation level even lower than that of the projection of the Divine Tomb world. After reaching the ninth level of the Mortal Transformation Realm and discovering the truth of the world, it traveled all the way to Ancestral Dragon Village and settled down there.

If this guy hadn't known to find the Qi Refining Diagram on the Yongzhen Yellow River Heavenly Stele and practice it, He Lang would have thought he was hopeless.

He's been fishing for over a hundred years! After a brief period of sharing, He Lang has become a fishing master, proficient in various fishing, catching, and netting techniques.

"You idiot, don't you even look at my conditions? The Nine Provinces have been suppressed too much. You know what our talents were like at the beginning. Reaching the ninth level of the Mortal Transformation Realm is already a blessing. Without any cheat codes, how can we defy the heavens!" The projection of the Eternal Life Realm complained a few times about He Lang's contemptuous thoughts.

"Besides, don't think that just because I've been a fisherman for a hundred years, I'm fishing for more than just fish. I'm fishing for cause and effect. I'm not fishing for just fish. I'm fishing for the destiny of all living beings."

As He Lang from the Realm of Immortality spoke, his aura changed, as if he were a god in the heavens who ruled over the fate of all living beings, with a halo of light hovering behind his head.

If Xiao Chen were here, he would probably exclaim in surprise that this was the older brother he remembered—mysterious and powerful.

Within the halo behind He Lang's head in the Realm of Immortality, threads of cause and effect emerged, transforming into a vast net of cause and effect that fell into the void, its connection to some unknown place.

He Lang followed the causal line and saw the living beings and scenes connected by it, revealing a look of surprise.

"Wow! I was too attached to appearances." He Lang lowered his head and admitted his mistake.

The projection of the Immortal Realm actually cultivated the Dao of Cause and Effect, and had even reached a certain level of proficiency. It could be said that it had already achieved minor success in the Dao of Cause and Effect. This guy had been hiding it for a while just to show off, and he actually succeeded in his act.

"Haha... It's nothing. But you've come at the right time. With your blessing, I'll be able to take off in no time. Refining the emperors in the One True Realm and breaking free from the constraints of the Three Sovereigns, Five Emperors and other ancestors will not be a problem in the future."

He Lang from the Immortal Realm wore a smug and high-spirited expression, exuding a sense of arrogance. He then shared his insights on the cultivation of cause and effect with He Lang.

The profound mystery of the Way of Cause and Effect deeply moved He Lang. This path defied common sense and deviated from the ordinary path of cultivation. As long as one comprehended the Way of Cause and Effect deeply enough, it would be easy to overcome the strong with the weak.

He Lang of the Immortal Realm entered the martial arts path through cause and effect, forming connections not only with all living beings but also with various divine creations. No wonder he stayed in the ancient village of the Primordial World for so long; no place in the Nine Provinces can compare to its uniqueness.

After sharing the experience, He Lang's understanding of the Great Dao of Cause and Effect was like a meteoric rise, breaking into a wondrous realm. Soon, he saw several clear causal lines between He Lang in the Longevity Realm and Zulong Village.

A causal thread connects to the land of the ancient village of the Primordial Era, which is the fate between He Lang of the Immortal Realm and the ancient village of the Primordial Era. Several other causal threads land on a yellow mud platform, and a few others land on a stone tablet in the Yellow River not far away.

"You're raiding my base!"

He Lang immediately saw through the Changsheng Realm projection's plan. The land of the ancient village was taken from the One True Realm by the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and is a corner of the One True Realm. The Yellow Mud Platform was made from the flesh and blood of the ancestral gods such as Nuwa and Fuxi. The Heavenly Stele is related to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and is a supreme sacred object of the heavens.

Once a causal relationship is established with them, and the causal connection is transformed in this way, one can grow rapidly with the help of the power of the sacred objects.

"No need to brag, hurry up and upgrade the Heavenly Stele Mystic Technique for me. I want to experience what it's like to be a prodigy."

In his mind, He Lang urged He Shengjie to stop his nonsense and give him a cheat code first.

He Lang nodded and directly added real points to the Heavenly Stele Qi Refining Diagram. After consuming 100 million real points, he finally comprehended the general principles of this supreme heavenly technique.

In his eyes, the Qi Refining Diagrams transformed into lines of the Dao, intertwining and evolving endlessly, giving birth to the innate Dao divine forms of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and slowly transforming into a Heavenly Stele that eternally guards the Yellow River. From then on, the Heavenly Stele Diagram was completely refined by him.

He then shared his memories with He Lang of the Immortal Realm, causing stars to light up instantly within the projection's body. These were the body's acupoints, which were currently undergoing a process of transformation.

He Lang, from the Realm of Immortality, felt a stirring in his heart, triggering the cause and effect. In the Yellow River not far from Zulong Village, countless ancestral dragon essences transformed into small dragons, which swam through the void and rushed into his body, swimming throughout his entire body to replenish his origin and foundation.

If the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were placed in the world of Shrouding the Heavens, they would be almost on par with Immortal Emperors. The Qi Refining Diagram they jointly created could be considered an Immortal Emperor's technique, so He Lang had no intention of doing anything.
