Immortal Rebellion: Investing in Cause and Effect, Unexpectedly Hijacking Li Muwan's Deal

The two left their temporary cave dwelling located on the edge of the Misty Swamp.

Qiu Siping summoned a shuttle-shaped flying artifact. It wasn't fast, but it was stable and had a certain degree of concealment.

Lu Xuan followed the shuttle-shaped magical artifact seemingly casually, covering hundreds of feet with each step, effortlessly and freely.

The journey was far from peaceful.

Although Qiu Siping is in the late stage of Core Formation, few people would dare to provoke him if he were placed on the outer edge of the Demon Sea.

However, they were heading to a deeper area of ​​the Demon Sea, and they were bound to encounter some fools along the way who wanted to kill and plunder.

But in front of Lu Xuan, no one could survive a single move; they were all reduced to dust, and their storage bags became Lu Xuan's spoils of war.

Qiu Si appeared calm on the surface, but was inwardly shocked and uneasy.

"What is the identity and purpose of this mysterious powerhouse who can annihilate a group of Core Formation stage experts with a mere gesture?"

"Judging from his strength, he's probably already past the Nascent Soul stage. So why is he still trying to cultivate his Nascent Soul?"

"Moreover, judging from the way he subdued me, he acted meticulously and decisively, unlike those brutes who only know how to rob, giving people the feeling that everything was under his control..."

"I must have had the worst luck in the world to be noticed by someone like that..."

Qiu Siping chirped in his mind as he carefully led the way.

After several days of traveling by air, the two finally arrived near Qilin City.

The ancient cave where Master Qiu Siping resides is hidden in a treacherous mountain range about several hundred miles southwest of Qilin City.

This place is constantly eroded by the chaotic spiritual energy of the Demon Sea, shrouded in mist all year round. The terrain is complex and monsters roam freely, so few cultivators set foot here.

"Senior, there are many strange monsters lurking here."

Although your cultivation is powerful, to avoid unnecessary depletion, would you please follow me carefully?

Qiu Siping asked cautiously.

Lu Xuan glanced at Qiu Siping and nodded slightly.

With Lu Xuan's approval, Qiu Siping breathed a slight sigh of relief. Then, he focused his attention and slowly piloted the magical artifact into the mountain range.

The shuttle-shaped magical artifact slowly flew into the mountains shrouded in gray-white mist.

As soon as you enter, the surrounding scenery becomes blurry.

There seems to be a mysterious force within the mountains that not only affects visibility but also significantly suppresses spiritual senses.

Qiu Siping dared not go too high, for fear of attracting the attention of the monsters.

He manipulated his magical artifact, flying close to the mountains.

Beside them,

It features jagged cliffs and twisted, strangely growing trees, with a bottomless ravine below.

Occasionally, the roars of unknown monsters could be heard, which sounded particularly eerie.

Qiu Siping focused intently, manipulating the magical artifact to meander along a relatively safe route he remembered.

The monsters here are not only powerful, but also strange and difficult to deal with.

Even a Core Formation cultivator could die instantly if they were ambushed or provoked by a high-level being.

"Senior, let's try to avoid the areas inhabited by those powerful demonic beasts. Although it will be a longer route, it will be safer."

Qiu Siping explained to Lu Xuan as he cautiously moved forward.

Lu Xuan stood at the front of the magical artifact, hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping calmly over the surroundings, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with Qiu Siping's words.

After flying for about half an hour,

Suddenly, a billowing cloud of mist appeared ahead.

Faintly, there were sounds of trees breaking and soil churning, as well as the roars of monsters.

Qiu Siping's expression changed, and he hurriedly manipulated his magical artifact to dodge to the side, while whispering, "There might be something big moving up ahead, senior, let's go around..."

However, before Qiu Siping could finish speaking, Lu Xuan's figure had already disappeared from the magic artifact.

"?" Qiu Siping was stunned for a moment, then quickly stopped using his magic weapon and spread his divine sense to explore the surroundings.

Soon, his divine sense detected Lu Xuan's whereabouts.

Just a hundred feet ahead,

The swirling mist was suddenly torn to shreds by a violent gust of air, revealing a desolate clearing in the woods.

On the open ground, a colossal creature stood upright, thumping its chest and letting out a deafening roar to the sky.

That was a giant ape that was over five zhang tall.

Its entire body was covered with stiff, long, bluish-black hair.

Muscles bulging, brimming with explosive power!

What's most striking is its pair of eyes.

It was an eerie emerald green, glowing faintly in the mist, exuding an aura of rage and ferocity.

It exudes a rich wood-attribute aura.

The aura was exceptionally powerful.

He had already reached the lower level of the Spirit Rank, equivalent to a human cultivator in the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage!

"Azure-eyed demon ape!" Qiu Siping gasped in shock when he saw the beast clearly.

This monster has thick skin and flesh, immense strength, and agile movements. It can also manipulate surrounding plants to assist in attacks or trap enemies.

It thrives even more in these lush mountain forests.

Even cultivators in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm would not easily provoke such a force unless absolutely necessary.

As he was thinking about how to find Lu Xuan and then avoid him from afar,

But then he saw Lu Xuan.

He had appeared not far in front of the green-eyed demon ape without anyone noticing!

The figure in the gray-blue robe appeared exceptionally small against the backdrop of the giant ape.

"What's going on?"

"Didn't we agree to keep a low profile?"

"What does he want to do?"

However, Lu Xuan quickly gave Qiu Siping an answer!

The blue-eyed ape was enraged by the "little one" that had suddenly appeared in its territory.

It pounded its chest with its fists, making a dull thud.

Then he opened his mouth and spat out a dark green, foul-smelling poisonous mist at Lu Xuan.

At the same time, it stomped its feet hard on the ground, and its thick arms, accompanied by a whistling sound, slammed down on Lu Xuan!

Amidst the collapse of mountains and the cracking of the earth

Countless thick vines burst forth from the soil, wrapping around Lu Xuan's body as if they were living creatures!

Qiu Siping was terrified. He subconsciously manipulated his magic weapon to retreat dozens of feet, fearing that he would be affected.

He had even begun to consider whether, if this senior were to be defeated, he should go up to help or take the opportunity to snatch back the soul blood and escape...

Then, before he could make a choice, he soon witnessed a scene that he would never forget.

Faced with the poisonous mist powerful enough to corrode Nascent Soul cultivators, the giant fist capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks, and the frantically coiling demonic vines,

Lu Xuan simply and calmly formed hand seals.

Then, facing the direction of the green-eyed demon ape, he softly shouted, "Separate cause and effect!"

As he finished speaking,

A strange, formless, and intangible wave, seemingly containing some supreme law, instantly spread out from him.

Where the ripples swept,

The surging dark green poisonous fog was suddenly forcibly twisted and torn apart!

The poisonous mist that had been condensing and spraying instantly lost all its impact and directionality, dissipating and vanishing on its own about a foot in front of Lu Xuan, like rootless dust.

Immediately afterwards, the fluctuations reached the frantically attacking demonic vines.

All the vines suddenly became chaotic and sluggish.

They no longer obeyed the control of the blue-eyed demon ape.

Some were tangled and knotted together.

Some were slapping the ground randomly.

Some of them even wrapped around the green-eyed ape's own legs in the opposite direction.

A hint of human-like astonishment and confusion flashed in the emerald eyes of the blue-eyed demon ape.

It couldn't understand why the wood spirit vines it controlled by its innate ability had suddenly gone out of control and started attacking it.

In that brief moment of surprise, Lu Xuan's seal changed again.

Extremely fine, almost transparent, grayish-white threads materialized from his fingertips.

Instantly traversing space,

Ignoring the intense demonic aura protecting the Azure-Eyed Demon Ape, it directly entered its massive body.

This is not a physical binding, but rather a causal interference and delay targeting its "actions" and "intentions".

The blue-eyed ape felt an indescribable sense of stagnation spreading throughout its body.

Its massive punch, which it wanted to unleash, seemed to be pulled and delayed by countless invisible threads, making its movements incredibly slow and heavy.

Its desire to roar in anger was also interfered with by some force, becoming intermittent, and even its roar became weak and feeble.

It felt as if it were trapped in the deepest nightmare.

Although he was still conscious,

But the body no longer completely obeys commands.

"Roar... Uh..." The blue-eyed ape let out a muffled and confused growl, its fierce light replaced by a hint of fear.

It instinctively sensed an unprecedented danger!
