Chapter 777 The Way of Causal Calculation, Within the Black and White View
In the sky, Lu Qing, who had just left the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, was in a good mood.
He was right; the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion truly had what he wanted.
As for what he wanted, it was nothing other than the divination techniques passed down through generations of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion.
He had only held onto a sliver of hope, but after taking a look at the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion's techniques, he was pleasantly surprised.
This made Lu Qing somewhat impatient, eager to go back and study it as soon as possible.
With a thought, Lu Qing's figure vanished from the spot amidst the spatial fluctuations.
When they reappeared, they had already returned to outside the village.
As a small world, the home world is far less stable than those vast worlds.
Therefore, given Lu Qing's current level of cultivation, the distance he can travel using spatial teleportation techniques is extremely exaggerated.
Even though Zhongzhou was very far from Jiuli Village, he was back in just one teleportation.
The reason we didn't enter the formation directly was because our master was currently in seclusion, and we didn't want spatial fluctuations to affect the formation protecting the village and disturb him.
Just as Lu Qing was about to enter the village after teleporting back, he suddenly sensed a fluctuation of spiritual energy coming from outside.
"Hmm? Someone is breaking through to the Innate Realm?"
Lu Qing immediately recognized that this was a sign of someone breaking through to the Innate Realm.
Out of curiosity, he released his spiritual power and sensed the location of the fluctuations in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
He quickly understood what was going on.
"I see, it was that county magistrate who broke through."
It turned out that the one who made the breakthrough was none other than Zun Canghai, the county magistrate who had had some interaction with Lu Qing back then.
It's quite interesting, really. Over the years, the county magistrate has never changed; it's always been the same person.
It's unclear whether this was the Yan family's intention or Yan Canghai's own wish.
Furthermore, Yan Canghai's cultivation has also made breakthroughs over the years, having entered the Innate Realm decades ago.
Just now, he broke through again and reached the Great Perfection of the Innate Realm.
However, according to Lu Qing's estimation, this person's aptitude is limited, and the Innate Realm should be his limit.
To break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, unless one has a stroke of good fortune, it's probably impossible in this lifetime.
Skipping over this little incident, Lu Qing entered the village and landed in his own courtyard.
He had no connection with Yan Canghai, so he had no intention of helping him.
"Brother, you're back." Xiao Yan sensed the movement and came out of the house. "Are the three Holy Lords alright?"
Xiao Yan still had some affection for the three holy masters of the Holy Mountain.
After all, she had cultivated on the Holy Mountain for quite some time, and the three Holy Lords had always taken good care of her.
“Very good. All three seniors are cultivating smoothly. I gave them a few pills to refine the Golden Core. Reaching the Golden Core stage in the future should not be a problem.”
As for whether one can achieve the primordial spirit, that depends on one's own fate and opportunities.
"That's good." Xiaoyan was relieved to hear this. "Brother, are you going to visit friends next?"
"I'm not going. I just acquired a few interesting cultivation techniques and want to study them. I don't plan to go out anymore."
During this trip, Lu Qing has visited all the people he is relatively familiar with.
As for those with whom one is not very close, there is no need to visit them in person.
"What kind of cultivation technique is it?" Xiaoyan asked curiously.
With his brother's background, having even received the inheritance of a Dao Transformation Immortal, how could there be any cultivation techniques in his hometown world that would interest him?
"Some low-level but quite interesting cultivation techniques."
Lu Qing smiled mysteriously, keeping everyone in suspense.
Sitting cross-legged in the quiet room, Lu Qing activated his supernatural ability, looked at a certain cultivation technique that had been downloaded and simulated, and chose to begin studying and comprehending it.
The next moment, a wealth of insights surged from the depths of his mind.
Lu Qing carefully studied this information.
This time, in the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, he saw several techniques related to divination.
What he is now comprehending is one of the core inherited techniques of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, a divination technique called the Five Elements Divination Technique.
This technique mainly involves sensing the changes in the five elements of heaven and earth, and using the principles of mutual generation and restraint among the five elements to predict future changes.
One of the most profound laws of the Great Dao that Lu Qing is currently comprehending is the Five Elements Law, so naturally he will first comprehend this technique.
As for why he suddenly became interested in the art of divination, it was naturally because of what the old Azure Dragon said to him in the Guixu Secret Realm.
To completely annihilate all the divided spirits of a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator from a great distance, protected by numerous formations and the World Membrane, one must be well-versed in the Dao of Cause and Effect.
Otherwise, even a powerful being at the Dao Integration Realm would find it difficult to accomplish such a feat.
However, the law of cause and effect is mysterious and unpredictable, extremely difficult to comprehend, and even in the sea of laws, it is difficult to sense its location.
Therefore, Lu Qing could try other methods to see if he could comprehend any trace of the meaning related to the Dao of Cause and Effect.
As for the principle of cause and effect, the first thing that came to his mind was naturally the principle of calculation.
In his home world, the most skilled in divination was undoubtedly the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, which is why he took the opportunity of his visit to exchange all of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion's techniques for them.
Over the years, Lu Qing's experiences in the Tianyuan Great World and the Guixu Secret Realm have made him realize that although his hometown world is only a small world, some of the cultivation techniques created by his predecessors still have a lot of merit.
Both the inheritance of the Divine Talisman Sect and the domain path of the Innate Realm have provided him with considerable assistance.
Therefore, he felt that the legacy of Tianji Tower might also give him some inspiration about the Dao of Cause and Effect.
Immersed in a state of enlightenment, Lu Qing absorbed a large amount of insightful information, and his understanding of the Dao of Calculation was growing at an astonishing rate.
A moment later, Lu Qing had completely comprehended the [Five Elements Divination Technique].
He did not stop cultivating; instead, he opened another divination technique in the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion and began to study and comprehend it.
This second technique is called the "Enlightenment Star Observation Technique," which is a technique for predicting future events by studying the trajectories of stars.
In the time that followed, Lu Qing focused intently on comprehending the several divination techniques of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion.
Before long, he had completely mastered several martial arts techniques.
However, Lu Qing did not stop his comprehension, but continued to deduce and comprehend.
He didn't exchange these martial arts techniques just to master them.
If that's the case, then a few cultivation techniques that are at most at the Foundation Establishment level wouldn't be of much use to him.
His real purpose was to use these techniques as a starting point to inspire himself, and then to continuously explore and delve deeper into this direction.
Time flew by, and Lu Qing remained in his room, deducing the cultivation technique.
In the blink of an eye, another half month has passed.
That evening, Lu Qing suddenly trembled, and a mysterious aura emanated from his body.
He opened his eyes, and in the dim light, they shone brightly, as if a myriad of stars were flowing within them, full of mystery.
After a while, Lu Qing slowly subsided the strange phenomenon.
"I have finally comprehended this method of divination to the level of the Nascent Soul Realm."
Lu Qing stretched out his palm and conjured up an illusionary world, within which countless stars flowed.
With a thought, he extracted a wisp of the primordial spirit belonging to Demon Slaughter Mountain from the Fire Cauldron and poured it into the illusionary world in his hand.
The next moment, countless stars in the illusionary world began to rotate, deducing the wisp of primordial spirit aura.
Finally, when the countless stars slowly came to a stop, a scene was revealed.
In that scene, in a dark hall, a black and white lamp was burning with blood-red flames.
In the center of the gently swaying lamplight, a small figure is curled up, seemingly asleep.
The little man's appearance was exactly the same as that of the Demon Slaughter Mountain.
"As expected, it can be calculated." Lu Qing was overjoyed.
But before Lu Qing could continue observing, the image suddenly shook and shattered instantly.
There was even a wisp of power trying to track him through the images, in turn searching for his location.
Lu Qing remained calm and composed; this scene was exactly what he had anticipated.
With a gentle squeeze of his palm, the illusory space within his hand transformed into a black void, along with that wisp of power, which vanished.
After doing this, Lu Qing sighed slightly.
He knew it wouldn't be that easy.
What he just used was a new method of deduction that he had developed based on the inspiration he gained from the various methods of calculation from the Heavenly Mystery Sect, and with the help of his supernatural abilities and his own sixth-level Nascent Soul realm.
This method of deduction incorporates his illusion techniques, making it incomparably exquisite, and its level has even reached the Nascent Soul Realm.
Lu Qing was confident that, with his current level of calculation skills, very few experts at the Nascent Soul Realm could escape his deductions unless they possessed a sufficiently powerful treasure.
His use of a wisp of Demon Slaughter Mountain's primordial spirit to deduce things was merely a small test.
Surprisingly, it actually worked; they managed to deduce where his mind was distracted.
However, it was obvious that the other side also had defensive measures, which immediately interrupted his deduction and even tried to use his deduction to track his whereabouts.
Fortunately, Lu Qing was proficient in illusion techniques, and his own illusionary abilities had reached the level of great supernatural powers.
The divination techniques he used were performed in an illusory space, shifting between reality and illusion, and were incredibly profound.
Not to mention that he also has many magical treasures protecting him, as well as the even more miraculous perfect divine transformation to shield him from heavenly secrets.
Even if a Dao Integration Realm expert tries to use his calculations to uncover his origins, all they will get in the end is nothingness.
Therefore, he was not worried at all about the other party being able to track him down.
Although this calculation was only half successful.
Even so, it was enough to surprise Lu Qing.
He knew he hadn't gone down the wrong path.
Now, having only advanced his calculation methods to the initial stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, he is already able to deduce the location of the Demon Slaughter Mountain's divided spirit.
Given time, once he has developed his calculation methods to a higher level, even with the concealment of extraordinary treasures and formations, his calculations will not be truly blocked.
"By then, I should be able to grasp a bit of the meaning of the law of cause and effect."
Lu Qing had a feeling that as long as he continued to comprehend the way of divination, one day he would be able to touch upon the mysterious and unpredictable way of cause and effect.
That will be the true end for Demon Mountain.
"Let's call this new divination method the [Myriad Realms Divination Technique] for now."
After casually giving his newly created divination method a name, Lu Qing began practicing it again.
The current [Myriad Realms Deduction Technique] is only newly created by him, and there is still much room for further development and improvement.
Since he has nothing else to do now, he can take the opportunity to further improve the level of this technique.
Just as Lu Qing was deducing the cultivation technique, on the other side, in the endless, distant starry sky, in a huge black and white Taoist temple.
A gruff voice suddenly rang out: "Senior brother, what just happened?"
“There are some petty people who want to use divination methods to deduce the true nature of our Black and White View.” Another aged voice rang out.
"How dare someone try to deduce our Black and White Views? Who is so bold?" the gruff voice asked in disbelief.
"I don't know. I tried to follow the fluctuations of that law to trace back, but that person seemed to be protected by a rare treasure, completely concealing their origins, making it impossible to track them down," the aged voice said.
"To be able to deduce our concept of black and white without being harmed by it using the art of divination, this person's skill in divination is not to be underestimated. Could it be one of those old guys?"
"It's unlikely. Those old guys wouldn't dare offend our Black and White Observation, let alone be so blatant. I'm afraid there are other forces eyeing our Black and White Observation."
"Other forces, are they the Breaking Heaven Sword Sect, the Void Bright Sect, or perhaps the Netherworld Palace and the Enchanting Fairy Pavilion?"
"I don't know, but I have a feeling of unease." The old voice said with some worry, "This time, the disciples of the temple suffered heavy losses in the trip to the Guixu Secret Realm, but the murderer is mysterious and unpredictable, and no one knows his origin."
Furthermore, within that celestial palace, which had remained silent for hundreds of thousands of years, there was actually a powerful being at the Dao Integration Realm hidden.
I always felt that some force was targeting our views on right and wrong.
Intuitively, the aged voice felt that the mysterious person who had just deduced their Black and White Views should not be from the Breaking Heaven Sword Sect or the Empty Bright Sect.
It seems that none of these orthodox sects possessed any masters of divination.
However, if it were the Netherworld Palace or the Enchanting Fairy Pavilion, that wouldn't be good news for them either.
When these two sects start using underhanded tactics, they become even more difficult to deal with than the other two.
"If I find out who is behind this, I will wipe out their entire family, no matter who it is!" The rough voice was filled with murderous intent.
For so many years, their views on right and wrong have never suffered such a great loss.
Dozens of disciples at the Nascent Soul Realm were completely wiped out.
This is not only a tremendous loss, but also a great disgrace.
Just thinking about the resources needed to revive so many disciples made even someone at the Dao Integration Realm like him feel a pang of heartache.
"We'll discuss the investigation into the real culprit later. Have the arrangements for the resurrection of the true disciples been made?"
"Everything is arranged, but according to Cangtian, Mo Tushan is not dead, but he cannot be resurrected now. If his demigod is nurtured, it may cause some trouble in the future," the gruff voice said.
"It seems that Tu Shan's primordial spirit, though suppressed and imprisoned, has not yet been extinguished. This is troublesome."
The aged voice hesitated for a moment, realizing that the situation was somewhat tricky.
