Chapter 601: Chapter 73: Mystical – Returning to Nothingness_3
After all, these malignant manifestations in the Causality Tower arose only because of a single Taoist law.
However, his purpose was to gain something within the Causality Tower, so he certainly did not want to leave the Causality Tower .
But, if there truly was no other way, it would be better to use the Spell Breaking Divine Ability to exit the tower than to have his mind and spirit damaged.
“But Master, you must know, breaking spells is actually part of the Sword of Causality,” reminded Qin Yitian.
Lu Qingshan’s body trembled.
“Master, go and look at the line of Causality connecting you to the evil cause,” continued Qin Yitian.
A warmth emanated from the hilt of the Dragon Sparrow Sword.
The next moment, the world in front of Lu Qingshan changed, losing its color, turning into black and white.
Yet, on the body of the Gui Yuan True Venerable, gorgeous colors appeared, those were two silk threads of different colors.
A thick, blood-red silk thread connected him with the Gui Yuan True Venerable.
There was also a much thinner black silk thread, connecting the Gui Yuan True Venerable with the void space around him.
“This is the line of Causality…” Lu Qingshan’s eyes slightly glazed over.
This was his second time seeing the thread of Causality.
The first was when his mind sank into the Jade Leaf; that time, he saw his own thread of Causality.
This time, it was the thread of Causality coming from the malignant manifestation of the Gui Yuan True Venerable, from a single law.
Even a law has a line of Causality?
Of course, it does, after all, laws are not created out of thin air.
In that instant, Lu Qingshan suddenly grasped the profound mystery of the Dragon Sparrow Breaking Spell.
The Spell Breaking Divine Ability was not actually about slicing through the law itself, but rather its line of Causality.
Once the line of Causality is severed, the law naturally dissolves.
Lu Qingshan’s eyes were sharp, his right hand raised.
He swung the Dragon Sparrow Sword at the thick, blood-red silk thread connecting him with the malignant Gui Yuan True Venerable.
No sound was heard, but Lu Qingshan felt a tremendous force coming from that blood-red line of Causality.
The base of his sword-holding hand went numb, and the Dragon Sparrow Sword was repelled, the thread of Causality remaining completely still.
How could the thread of Causality be so easily severed?
Dragon Sparrow Sword’s power lies precisely in its ability to slash through all laws.
It’s a power of a Taoist Artifact. How could he, a Nascent Soul Cultivator, achieve such a feat?
While Lu Qingshan was dazed, the Gui Yuan True Venerable had already pounced towards him.
He certainly wasn’t going to give Lu Qingshan the chance to slowly figure it out.
Lu Qingshan’s eyelids slightly lifted, ready to counter the attack.
But his gaze, passing over the much thinner thread of Causality behind the Gui Yuan True Venerable, suddenly had a revelation.
If I can’t sever the thick line of Causality, then… what about the thinner one?
As the Gui Yuan True Venerable’s sword came slashing down, Lu Qingshan sidestepped the attack, then counterattacked by handing over the Dragon Sparrow Sword with a feeble upward stroke.
The Gui Yuan True Venerable was about to deflect with his sword, but discovered that Lu Qingshan’s stroke was absurdly off-target.
“To slash so crookedly!” the Gui Yuan True Venerable laughed in triumph, “Hehehehe…”
The laughter stopped abruptly as the thin black thread of Causality behind him disintegrated directly after being touched by Lu Qingshan’s sword.
The destruction of the black thread of Causality triggered a series of chain reactions.
The figure of the Gui Yuan True Venerable first stiffened, then shook violently.
“I told you, laughing like that leads to a quick death,” Lu Qingshan said softly. “Why wouldn’t you believe me?”
Finally, the Gui Yuan True Venerable exploded into mist amid the trembling.
“Realization of Intent!… Your Causality True Intent has advanced to the Unity Realm!”
“Enhancement of abilities!… Your Primordial Spirit has been enhanced! (Divine Sense +200)”
“Your Divine Sense has surpassed 2100, and your Primordial Spirit Realm has broken through to the Control Realm middle stage (2225/3000)!”
“From the Causality True Intent, you have gained a new mystical ability: Returning to Nothingness!”
Causality True Intent (Unity Realm): A mystical type of Primordial Intent possessing numerous miraculous abilities; currently mastered abilities: Premonition, Returning to Nothingness.
Mystical Ability, Returning to Nothingness…
Once activated, it will reveal the various threads of Causality formed by Taoist laws, from which you can choose the weakest to sever.
Once a thread of Causality is broken, the corresponding law will either weaken or disperse, an effect known as Returning to Nothingness.
“Master, you’ve succeeded!” Qin Yitian exclaimed joyfully.
Lu Qingshan fondled the hilt of the Dragon Sparrow Sword and said softly, “So that’s why, back on Jiaolong Island, I felt a trace of the Primordial Intent of Causality, was it also because of you?”
“That should be the case,” responded Qin Yitian in a low and somewhat proud voice, “If the Peach Blossom could impart to you a slight comprehension of the Immortal True Intent, how could the Dragon Sparrow be any less than it?”
Sword Cultivators and Life-bound Swords complement each other.
Men nourish swords, and swords can nourish men.
Zang Xiaojian, after refining the Three-feet Edge into his Life-bound Sword, spontaneously gained some of the piercing sharpness of the Three-feet Edge.
But the Dragon Sparrow, being a Taoist Artifact, did not bring him any such enhancement.
Lu Qingshan had once been puzzled by this, but had never voiced it out, after all, how could he complain about Qin Yitian?
Moreover, why did his initial comprehension of a fragment of the Causality True Intent on Jiaolong Island seem so simple, when afterward, every step in the realm of Causality True Intent was laborious and fraught?
Now, all his doubts have been resolved.
The reason he could so effortlessly gain an understanding of a fragment of the Causality True Intent was indeed a gift from the Dragon Sparrow.
Of course, a gift is just a gift, and as previously mentioned, the comprehension of profound concepts is never achieved overnight.
time, Qin Yitian merely nudged Lu Qingshan slightly.
The most critical reason he could ascend in the Causality True Intent was that his accumulation was sufficient and the time was right.
Otherwise, with Qin Yitian’s simple mind always wishing the best for Lu Qingshan, why would he sit idly by and watch Lu Qingshan get injured, waiting until he was at his wit’s end to finally give a hint?
