With a whoosh.
Jiang Li's small body floated up and reached a position three meters above the ground.
She also began to radiate a light.
Under the influence of Lin Che's "causal aura", even the surrounding space seemed to be distorted.
After a few breaths, the golden aura vine behind Jiang Li slowly emerged.
What is that?
Although everyone was somewhat prepared, they still couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
This thing, which resembled an umbilical cord, led to the void hundreds of meters above, then abruptly disappeared into the void, its destination unknown.
Even Jiang Li herself saw this scene, and her small mouth slightly opened. It was the first time she had seen the power of cause and effect so directly. She swallowed and murmured:
"Is this the thing that's making my body smaller and smaller?"
"yes!"
Lin Che leaped into the air and reached out to grab the vine of energy, but he still managed to grasp nothing.
"What you are seeing now is the power of cause and effect, or what you might call the causal curse. It is an extremely vicious curse! Thousands of years ago, or even tens of thousands of years ago, there was a member of the royal family, most likely an emperor. He created the 'Great Emperor's True Scripture,' passed it down to his descendants, and even required that every emperor must cultivate the 'Great Emperor's True Scripture'!"
"This powerful royal cultivation technique has actually been entangled with a causal curse. As long as the Great Emperor's True Scripture is reversed, one's cultivation level will be greatly enhanced for a short period of time. This has become the trump card for each emperor to save his life, and it is also a forbidden curse that cannot be touched."
As Lin Che spoke, he looked at Jiang Li again. The reason why Jiang Li reversed her cultivation technique was to save him, who was trapped in the treasure trove of fortune.
"The terrifying aspect of the Karmic Curse lies in this: it's like plucking ripe fruit. His Majesty Jiang Li's cultivation, lifespan, even his imperial aura—everything is being continuously absorbed and transferred to the emperor who set up the Karmic Curse thousands of years ago!"
The entire venue fell silent.
Everyone's face was solemn.
After a long pause, Ye Zheyun concluded, "Transcending space and time! This kind of enemy lives in the past. We don't even know what he looks like. Moreover, there's probably more than one such enemy!"
“Indeed! The curse of cause and effect exists in many places, not just one. I have encountered more than one. In fact, there is a special curse of cause and effect that we will all face. That is the Eight Gates of the Divine Palace!”
These words caused another uproar among the crowd.
The Eight Gates of the Divine Palace—this is a cultivation technique they must practice to reach the eighth rank. Who would have thought it would be related to them too!
"Are the eight cultivation techniques we practice also causal incantations?" the sword slave asked in shock.
"Yes! If you only cultivate one technique, you shouldn't be qualified to see this curse. But if you cultivate eight techniques, they will merge into one, creating an ancient gate. Once this gate appears, we'll be even more like puppets with our backs to the door. It's very possible that powerful figures from the past will open this gate, come to our present era, and reap all our gains, including our lives!"
Lin Che knew what they were worried about, and continued:
"Right now, I'm probably the only one who has mastered all eight techniques. If more people were to master them all, disaster would surely befall us. Therefore, we cannot sit idly by and wait for our doom. I plan to take the initiative!"
Jiang Li's body sank, landing in front of Lin Che. She looked directly into Lin Che's eyes: "What do you want to do?"
"A door can be opened from the inside, and it can be opened from the outside! I will open that door, step onto the river of time, and travel back thousands of years. I will slay all those powerful beings of cause and effect!!"
Boom!!
Whether it was a coincidence or the power leaked out by the crowd attracted a bolt of lightning, it is unclear.
Thunder roared overhead.
Everyone who had been sitting suddenly stood up.
"no!"
"Holy Master, you mustn't!"
"You want to go back thousands of years? That's insane! We can't live without you!"
Everyone spoke up, partly because they thought it was absolutely insane, and partly because they were all worried about Lin Che's safety.
Going back thousands of years is simply a fantasy, utterly unbelievable.
What will they face? If anything goes wrong, will they be able to come back alive? Will they be able to come back?
Although the karmic curse is terrifying, at least they are all still alive... except for Jiang Li, whose lifespan is short. However, they can lose an empress, but the human race cannot lose Lin Che, a Saint Master!
Even Jiang Li objected: "I disagree! This is too risky for you. I know you. Since you've brought it up today, you must have some way to go back to the past, but I disagree. With your cultivation level, you should be able to withstand even the curse of cause and effect. There's no need to take such a risk!"
Lin Che looked at Jiang Li, who was only seven or eight years old, and said in a deep voice, "I have to go! If we delay any longer, you will soon become an infant and disappear completely from this world."
Jiang Li's expression froze slightly. She stared blankly at Lin Che for a moment, then suddenly turned her face away, avoiding his eyes: "I don't need you to take risks! This is my own business, it has nothing to do with you!"
"This is not just your matter, but a matter of life and death for the entire human race!"
Lin Che used to not understand Jiang Li's actions of dedicating himself to the world, but now, Lin Che seems to understand.
Humanity, the Great Gan, the Divine Machine Battalion, all his friends, his confidantes—they are all incredibly important to him. He doesn't want to wait until those powerful beings from the past have already arrived before he begins to resist.
More importantly, Jiang Li's time is really running out.
If he doesn't find and kill that royal family causal expert, then this causal power will exist forever.
The surroundings were chaotic, with everyone talking at once, trying to persuade him, but he gently raised his hand and said in a deep voice:
"Everyone! My mind is made up! You don't need to persuade me anymore. I now have the ability to safely return to thousands of years ago. But everything here is in your hands. The Demon Clan and the Demon Buddha, they could launch a full-scale attack at any time."
A moment of silence fell over everyone again.
Finally, Ye Zheyun spoke up: "You don't need to worry. If you don't come back, then I, Ye Zheyun, will personally kill the Demon King and the Buddha!"
No one mocked Ye Zheyun's overestimation of his abilities, because Ye Zheyun's talent and cultivation were indeed undeniable. If anyone, besides Lin Che, had the best chance of leading the group in cultivation, it would undoubtedly be Ye Zheyun.
Lin Che announced, "In the next few days, I will pass on the 'Tenth Grade Human King Technique' to everyone and provide you with Giant Spirit Divine Rice. The rest is up to you!"
