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

Hengyue Sect, Hidden Dragon Cliff.

Lu Xuan sat cross-legged, his mind immersed in the deepest part of his sea of ​​consciousness.

There,

The power of cause and effect gained after reaching a contract with Wang Lin.

Just like a restless, dark golden Tyrannosaurus Rex,

Bound by the techniques of the "Cycle of Destiny Reincarnation," it rampaged and roared silently.

This "force of cause and effect" originating from the Child of Destiny is far more abundant and weighty than any previous transaction.

It is a mixture of the immense karmic backlash from the destruction of the Teng family, and also the lingering resentment from the severed "cause and effect" between Wang Lin and Li Muwan.

Complex and chaotic, yet it contains an astonishing origin of cause and effect.

This is a great tonic for Lu Xuan!

"Refine!"

Lu Xuan circulated his cultivation technique, his divine soul transforming into an invisible furnace, beginning a long process of gathering and tempering.

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Despite Lu Xuan's tireless refining day and night, the roaring dark gold dragon only shrank by one size.

Lu Xuan slowly opened his eyes and sighed, "The karma of a child who defies fate is indeed not so easy to refine. However, the gains from refining it are also enormous!"

Lu Xuan's "Civil Code of Heavenly Mandate Reincarnation" has finally broken through from the first level, "Contracting," to the second level, "Weaving the Net"!

At the same time, the system interface has also undergone tremendous changes.

In the interface, those who had "traded" with Lu Xuan were no longer just dim portraits.

Their portraits,

It transformed into a three-dimensional causal network centered on itself, constantly pulsating and radiating outwards.

Those veins representing different causal relationships, with threads of varying brightness and thickness, are extending outwards.

Wang Lin's portrait is missing a thick, bright thread.

In Lu Xuan's portrait group, a new portrait was added: "Li Muwan..."

His physical body was already capable of reaching the Divine Realm, but he had yet to find his own unique state of mind.

Lu Xuan's spiritual power and divine soul had long since reached the peak of pseudo-godhood, but he had never found his own artistic conception.

After learning about Li Muwan's destiny and karma, he finally found a clue to his own "artistic conception".

What needs to be done now is to keep a close eye on Li Muwan.

Let's see if we can find something from this woman who is involved in such a huge karmic conflict.

Find your own true state of divine transformation.

But this can't be rushed; the right timing, the right location, and the right people are all indispensable.

Turn off the system panel.

When Lu Xuan stood up,

The blue robe he was wearing had been removed.

She changed into a slightly worn, moon-white long gown.

He put on the cloth shoes that his sister had sewn for him five years ago.

After changing his outfit,

The suffocating "inhuman" aura emanating from Lu Xuan seemed to have completely faded away, and he appeared to be just an ordinary scholar with a slightly aloof demeanor.

He straightened his cuffs and then stepped out of Hidden Dragon Cliff.

He didn't use teleportation; instead, like a gentle breeze, he swept across mountains and rivers, drifting towards Qing Shi Town, more than 300 miles away.

Along the way, past memories resurfaced in my mind.

Thirty-five years ago, at the western end of Qingshi Town, there was a low mud-brick house.

His parents died early, and his older sister, Lu Qingyun, who was ten years older than him, shouldered the burden of the family.

He still remembers it clearly.

Back then, in order to raise enough money to send him to a private school, his older sister...

She silently accepted the betrothal gifts from the Zhao family in the east of the town and became the third concubine of the greasy Zhao Yuanwai.

In the years before he awakened the system, his sister had a very hard life, suffering all kinds of difficulties from the wives, concubines and even servants of the Zhao family.

Although she never complained in front of him, Lu Xuan, with his mature soul from later generations, could hardly fail to see it.

Later, he finally awakened the system, not only stepping into the world of cultivation, but also making rapid progress in his cultivation.

When he first returned to Qing Shi Town as a "Celestial Master," the entire Zhao family prostrated themselves on the ground.

The legal wife, who had once bossed her sister around, was now living in constant fear.

However, the elder sister did not make a fuss about it. She simply moved into the main courtyard and used her gentleness and Lu Xuan's subtle but powerful presence to stabilize the Zhao family and truly earn their respect.

Thirty-five years have passed in the blink of an eye.

For Lu Xuan, who had a long lifespan, it was just a fleeting moment.

But for the mortal sister...

Qingshi Town is already ahead.

Lu Xuan concealed all his aura, like a drop of water falling into the sea, silently landing on a path outside the town.

He walked into "Xu's Sugar Shop" in the west of the town and saw that the shop was still the same as before.

Behind the counter, Uncle Xu's back was even more hunched over, and he was squinting as he painstakingly wrote down the account book.

"Uncle Xu, two packets of malt sugar cubes, the usual." Lu Xuan said gently.

Upon hearing the sound, Uncle Xu slowly raised his head.

His cloudy eyes lingered on Lu Xuan's face for a moment before he suddenly laughed: "Xuanwa!! You...you really haven't changed a bit!"

Lu Xuan smiled but didn't say anything.

After placing the silver ingot, which was worth far more than the market price, he replied, "Take care of yourself, Uncle Xu."

Then, he picked up the warm, sweet-smelling sugar cube wrapped in oil paper and turned to leave.

Behind them, Xu Bo's murmured words could be faintly heard: "A god... truly a god..."

The Zhao family mansion, located in the east of the town, has high walls and green tiles, covers a vast area, and is exceptionally grand.

"Hey hey hey!! Don't you even know where you are? You just barge in like that?"

The gatekeeper was a newly arrived, strong servant. Seeing that Lu Xuan was dressed simply and was about to walk into the courtyard, he instinctively stepped forward to scold and stop him.

"You're blind as a bat!" Just then, an agitated, trembling old voice rang out from inside the door.

Zhao Fu, the Zhao family's steward, scrambled out, kicked aside a servant, and was about to kneel before Lu Xuan.

"Master Xuan! You're finally back! Madam was just talking about you yesterday!!"

Lu Xuan raised his hand in a gesture of support, and a gentle force lifted Zhao Fu, saying, "No need for formalities. Where is my sister?"

"They're burning mugwort in the warm pavilion in the back garden. Madam's knees always hurt in autumn and winter..." Zhao Fu said, leading the way while rambling on about the recent situation.

After passing through several courtyards, we arrived at the warm pavilion.

Lu Xuan paused slightly.

With his sharp eyesight, he could see his older sister sitting by the window on the second floor of the warm pavilion, busy with something.

A few strands of silver hair swayed by her temples, and her figure was no longer as slender as when she was a young girl, but rather had become plump and... aged with the passage of time.

Lu Xuan stood outside the moon gate and watched quietly for a moment.

Then, he waved and walked alone towards the warm pavilion.

The steward respectfully withdrew and then hurriedly ran to report to the head of the family. Master Lu's annual visit home was always a top priority for the Zhao family.

Lu Qingyun, who was in the warm room, seemed to sense something and stopped burning mugwort.

He straightened up and turned to look at the doorway.

Lu Qingyun's face was well-maintained, but the lines around her eyes and lips, and her slightly loose skin, all indicated the weight of more than fifty years in the mortal world.

Lu Xuan walked in, smiling as he called out, "Sister."

Lu Qingyun put down the moxa stick, stood up, and naturally reached out to pat Lu Xuan's shoulder... even though it was spotless.

"You're back?" Her voice held a hint of concern as she asked, "This time it's been a while. Did you encounter any difficulties in your cultivation?"

"Your brother is a genius, what difficulty could possibly stump me?" Lu Xuan replied with a smile.

Then he handed over the still-warm packet of candy, saying, "It's from Old Xu's family; it tastes just like it did when I was a kid."

Lu Qingyun took it, her smile deepening.

She still remembers the days when she and her younger brother would drool over Xu Ji's candies when they were little.

Uncle Xu is a nice person; he always gives them a sugar cube whenever he sees them.

This is also why the siblings have been accustomed to taking care of Uncle Xu's business for decades.

She pulled Lu Xuan down to sit and carefully examined his face.

After a long while, he couldn't help but sigh softly: "More than thirty years have passed, and you are still the same young man you were back then. That's wonderful."

"She's just a bit too thin..."

"I know that immortals don't eat earthly food, but you still need to take care of your own health."

My sister's words were filled with undisguised and pure concern.

The more causes and effects Lu Xuan refined, the more he cherished these causes and effects that were without ulterior motives.

Unfortunately, my sister is just a mortal and cannot enter the world of cultivation.

Even with his own elixirs, his lifespan is at most a hundred years.
