Longevity starts with eating monsters

Chapter 171 Pre-take cause and effect and anchor the future!
"Breakthrough?"

Feeling the changes in his body, a hint of surprise flashed across Lu Chen's eyes. At the same time, he also realized more deeply the extraordinary nature of the Taotie Cauldron.

How long has it been?

"The Great Dao opens the twelve gates of heaven. The twelfth level is as difficult as ascending to heaven. Many gods may not be able to complete the most basic 'clearing the five turbidities' in their entire lives."

“But it’s been less than a month since I broke through to the God-Seeing Stage, and I’ve already reached the second stage. And with the Evergreen Demon King here, I don’t lack demonic power to use. I can continue to deduce cause and effect, and then integrate the future gains of cause and effect into myself, thus making up for the shortcoming of too little time in cultivation!”

Thinking of this, Lu Chen suddenly became excited.

However, at this moment, a light suddenly burst out from the Taotie Cauldron, which he thought had completed a round of deduction, and then a line of text appeared.

[You can choose one of the causes and effects in the cause and effect collection to anchor the future. 】

[1. Cause and effect: seriously injured body]

[II. Cause and Effect: Imprisonment of Human Immortals]

[Three, cause and effect, escape from death]

"This is."

Looking at the three bubble-like things emerging on the Taotie Cauldron, Lu Chen immersed his mind in the Taotie Cauldron, and then he understood the meaning of them.

“These are three futures!”

"I can choose any one and activate it when needed, and then the future will develop according to the future I chose. For example, if I choose [Cause and Effect·Severely Injured Body], once it is activated, I will suddenly be seriously injured for some reason."

"Like going into a trance, or a powerful enemy attacking."

"Although the process is uncertain, the result has been anchored. No matter what I do, I will definitely be seriously injured in the end, and then the cause and effect will end."

"The same goes for the remaining two."

"Choose [Cause and Effect: Imprisonment of Human Immortals], then the two human immortals who were suppressed by me in the deduction just now will definitely be suppressed by me in reality."

"If I choose [Cause and Effect: Escape], then no matter what kind of danger I encounter, I will definitely find a way to survive. This cause and effect is really useful."

After thinking for a moment, Lu Chen chose [Cause and Effect·Escape].

After all, there are three causes and effects. The first one is purely a side effect. Although the second one is good, it will also attract the enemy who made him seriously injured and fled.

Only the third one is the most useful.

more importantly.
"Second round of deduction, let's do it again!"

Lu Chen's mind moved, and another group of demons stabbed him in the back, transforming into rolling internal energy and injecting it into the Taotie Cauldron, activating the deduction function of the cauldron lid once again.

Immediately afterwards, a piece of information that was exactly what Lu Chen had expected came into his sight.

[It is detected that you have been affected by karma, do you want to use it? ]

"Yes!" Lu Chen confirmed directly.

[On the first day, because you activated "Cause and Effect: Escape from Death", you left Kuili's cemetery in time without being discovered by anyone.]

[This time, you decided to immerse yourself in cultivation and not cause any trouble. ]

[On the second day, with the help of the Evergreen Demon King, you found a battlefield where the Eight Great Demons and the Overlord Kuili once fought, and began to practice there.]

[You use the remaining divine will of the eight demons as a whetstone to continuously hone your own fist will. The divine will of the eight demons envelopes you and erases your traces. No one discovers your existence. You just immerse yourself in cultivation without eating or drinking, looking for your own way forward.]

【On the third day, you are practicing. 】

【Day 4】

[On the 30th day, this was your longest retreat, and under the guidance of the eight great demons, you finally reached the third level of the Kaitian realm.]

[The third level is called "Confusion and Turbidity".]

[As the name suggests, cultivators at this level will begin to question their own path. The path that was once flawless now appears to be full of flaws.]

【This is a heart barrier.】

[If you can't see through it, and your heart is shaken, at best you will regress, at worst you will go astray. However, for you, this level is not difficult at all.]

[Because you are extremely confident in your path.] [You think this is what you deduced with the Taotie Cauldron, and it fits you perfectly, so how could there be a problem? Even if there is a problem, it is definitely a problem that you cannot solve at the moment. In this case, it is just a waste of time to worry about it, so why waste time making things difficult for yourself?]

[You have easily passed the "confusion" and entered the third level! ]

[However, the moment you broke through, your aura broke through the will of the eight demons, and finally alarmed the mysterious forces in the ancient battlefield, and they came to your door.]

[You recognized the other party at a glance. It was the guy who beat you up and made you flee in the last round of deduction.]

【The other party calls himself "Kuichou". 】

[Kuichou was very surprised that an outsider would come into the Ancient Battlefield of the Heavenly Demons. However, since you were not discovered in front of the tomb of Overlord Kuili this time, Kuichou only thought that you were a human immortal who had mistakenly entered the ancient battlefield. He was very kind and even tried to win you over to join them.]

You asked about their origins.

[Although you can guess it just by listening to the surname, but after Kuichou's confirmation, you confirmed that the mysterious force in the ancient battlefield of the demons is the descendants of Kuili. ]

[They are the descendants of the overlord! ]

[It turns out that after Kuili died, the dynasty established by the Kui royal family was destroyed by the current Jiuzhou court, and their descendants were forced to hide in the ancient battlefield. ]

[Over the years, the Kui royal family has been accumulating strength with the intention of restoring the country. ]

[It’s a pity that although Kuichou is already a human immortal at the fourth level, he still doesn’t dare to challenge the fifth level, so he is far inferior to the ancestor of the Jiuzhou court.]

"so smart?"

Lu Chen looked at the causal words flowing on the tripod and understood many secrets:
"That royal ancestor is probably the mysterious strong man who attacked me when I captured Zhao Wuxiu. It turns out that he is a human immortal of the fifth level."

"So, the other party has probably completely completed the 'clearing of the five turbidities'."

"And theoretically speaking, a fifth-level human immortal already has the capital to challenge the god-seeing realm! I just don't know why the other party didn't make the challenge."

Lu Chen continued to deduce.

[Through your discussion with Kuichou, you learned a lot about the Kaitian realm, and Kuichou was also very shocked by your ignorance of cultivation.]

[Under your humble request for advice, Kuichou bluntly said that although your avenue is very good, you have too few means to match it. You have neither a domain nor a real weapon, and your combat power is completely supported by your foundation. It is like having a mountain of treasures but not knowing how to use them.]

[You continue to ask: What is a domain? What is a true weapon? ]

[Kuichou knows everything. The so-called domain is actually a further application derived from the human immortals making the divine will, soul, and the great way into a trinity.]

[Speaking of this, Kuichou seemed extremely proud, because he was a human immortal who had condensed his domain. ]

[In Kuichou's opinion, each sect has its own strengths. The incense sect is better at longevity, the Nascent Soul sect is better at simplicity, and the Human Immortal sect is better at combat power.]

[The domain is completed, the strongest in the same realm! 】

[As for the real weapon, it is a magic weapon with the same status as the God-Seeing God. Not only does it have self-awareness, but its power will be doubled when activated by a human immortal.]

【Speaking of this, Kuichou finally reveals his true intentions.】

[Want to condense the domain? Want to see the real weapon? As a descendant of the overlord, Kuichou said he has all of these, as long as you are loyal to him from now on. ]

[You decisively refuse.]

[Then you planned to leave the ancient battlefield, but Kuichou didn't want the news about the Kui family to spread, so he wanted to force you to stay, and you had a big fight for this.]

【You lose. 】

[This time, Kuichou did not underestimate the enemy like he did in the first round of deduction, but went all out directly, and you also truly witnessed the "domain" he mentioned. Under the pressure of the "domain", you can only use the Heavenly Demon Disintegration and fight to the death, but you are still powerless to save the situation.]

Boom!

The next second, Lu Chen opened his eyes, and endless hexagrams flashed in his eyes, reflecting countless future scenes, and finally turned into three lines of text.

[You can choose one of the causes and effects in the cause and effect collection to anchor the future. 】

[I. Cause and Effect: On Dao Kui Chou]

[II. Cause and Effect: Heavenly Demon Refining God]

【3. Cause and Effect: Focus on the Tao】
