The doctrine of cause and effect is so profound that it is definitely not something that Yang Qi, a cultivator at the peak of the Martial Emperor level, can easily comprehend. Even if the powerful person who preaches the doctrine personally instructs him, he may not be able to gain much, let alone the doctrine that is completely untargeted.
Because he had understood so little and didn't know what kind of test the owner of the cave would set, Yang Qi couldn't help but feel a little nervous. After all, according to the records before entering the cave, once he entered the cave, it would be either life or death.
“What is the law of cause and effect?”
Just when Yang Qi was feeling extremely anxious, an old voice came from all directions, going straight into the depths of Yang Qi's soul and echoing in his soul.
What is the law of cause and effect
Hearing the question from the old voice, Yang Qi was startled. The causal path involves three paths: space, time, and soul. These three paths are the paths that practitioners can only access after reaching the Martial King realm. The difficulty of comprehending them is much more difficult than ordinary paths. The causal path involving these three paths is so profound that you can imagine how profound it is.
Not to mention Yang Qi, a cultivator at the peak of the Martial Emperor level, even if a cultivator at the Martial Emperor level came, he would not be able to easily explain the essence of the law of cause and effect.
"How do you answer this?"
Yang Qi's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he was thinking about the answer rapidly in his mind. If he gave a wrong answer, it would mean failure and death.
“What is the law of cause and effect?”
Just as Yang Qi was thinking about himself quickly, the abrupt voice sounded again, but it was different from the previous one. This time the tone of inquiry was obviously much more severe. Yang Qi even felt a strong power coming. If he didn't answer again, he might be waiting for the wrath of thunder!
Under that powerful aura, Yang Qi's mind went blank, and he almost subconsciously said, "As the saying goes, cause and effect, there must be a cause and effect!"
this…
As soon as these words were spoken, Yang Qi came to his senses and felt extremely regretful. If there is a cause, there must be an effect. This answer is too simple. Is this the essence of the law of cause and effect
However, words that have been spoken are like water spilled, and cannot be taken back. Yang Qi even anticipated that he would not be able to escape death.
"I didn't expect that I would fail the first test after entering the cave." Yang Qi felt extremely bitter. He had originally thought of escaping to heaven through the cave in front of him, but he didn't expect that it would end up being a dead end.
“Congratulations on passing the test. You can choose a treasure of the value of a top-grade Taoist soldier, or an inheritance of the peak Martial Emperor level. You can also tell us the amount of energy you need, but it doesn’t need to exceed this range.” The old voice came.
"Passed...passed the test?"
Yang Qi was stunned, with an expression of disbelief on his face. He thought he had failed the test, but he didn't expect that he actually passed it.
A gleam of brilliance flashed in Yang Qi's eyes, and he thought to himself, "Return to nature?"
Where there is a cause, there must be an effect. This is definitely just a simple summary of the law of cause and effect. It is far from touching upon the essence of the law of cause and effect. The true law cannot be summed up in one word.
"Chance!"
Yang Qi's eyes focused. According to what the old voice said, after passing this test, he could choose the opportunity that suits him, instead of choosing within the range set by the cave master.
"The owner of this cave is indeed very powerful. He actually dares to let the practitioners choose the opportunities and treasures themselves." Yang Qi sighed in his heart.
Practitioners are not all the same, and the treasures and opportunities they choose are also completely different, but the owner of the cave dares to tell the practitioners who come to take part in the test to choose according to their own needs, which shows how confident he is. This is definitely not something that ordinary practitioners can do.
"Senior, after passing this test, can I choose to leave?" Yang Qi asked.
This cave is too dangerous. It is either life or death. If there are other ways out, Yang Qi will never be willing to come in and try. Therefore, when the old voice said that practitioners can choose treasures and opportunities according to their own needs, the first thing he thought of was to leave this place.
He passed this test by luck, but what about the next one? If he failed, he would die!
A moment after Yang Qi finished speaking, the old voice came again, "No, if you want to leave, you need to pass at least three tests."
Three tests
Yang Qi smiled bitterly in his heart. He almost failed the first test, and he needed to pass two more tests before he could leave. It was conceivable how difficult it was.
Yang Qi took a deep breath and said, "I hope to have the opportunity to integrate the five elements."
The first test was already so difficult, and Yang Qi had no confidence in the next two tests. If he wanted to pass the next two tests, the best way was to enhance his own strength. The way to integrate the five elements was the reason why he came to the ancient forbidden land. If he could find a way to integrate the five elements, it would not only enhance his strength, but would also be of great help in the next tests.
"This requirement has exceeded the value of the opportunity you can get in the first test." An old voice sounded slowly.
Out of value range
Yang Qi was stunned, and a look of helplessness appeared on his face. Although he knew that the path of the Five Elements Fusion was difficult, he did not expect that this requirement actually exceeded the value of the first test.
"What to choose?"
Yang Qi's eyes fixed, and his mind began to think rapidly. His first requirement was to leave alive, which was also his most urgent need. Since he could not leave for the time being, he naturally had to strengthen his own strength and strive to pass the third test to get a chance to leave. Therefore, he had his second requirement.
But both of these requirements are denied, so how to choose
Yang Qi has no shortage of treasures of the same value as top-grade Taoist soldiers, so he just doesn't even bother to look at them!
The inheritance of the peak level of Martial Emperor is indeed quite precious, but inheritance is something that cannot help him enhance his own strength in a short period of time, and it is of limited help in the upcoming tests.
Therefore, no matter whether it is a treasure of physical or spiritual nature or the inheritance of a strong man, it does not mean much to Yang Qi now.
Yang Qi's expression changed, and he made a decision in an instant. He thought to himself, "If that's the case, then I'll just choose that one. If I fail, I'll just die."
“Senior, I want to know how to get to the Ancient Temple!” Yang Qi’s eyes flashed with a gleam of brilliance, and he spoke slowly. Since simple treasures or inheritances would not be of much help to him, he decided to give it a try and directly ask for information about the Ancient Temple. If he could leave here alive, then he would have a chance to go to the Ancient Temple.
The Ancient Temple is the most precious opportunity left behind by the two ancient saints when the ancient holy land was destroyed. Even the lord of the alien universe would be tempted. If they could go there, perhaps they could help Yang Qi integrate the Five Elements.
Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Yang Qi chose to ask for information about the Ancient Temple. After all, he had been in the Ancient Holy Land for some time, but he had not found any information about the Ancient Temple. If he could not find any information about the Ancient Temple, even if he left here alive, his trip to the Ancient Forbidden Land would be in vain. (To be continued)
