hatched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You may try to incubate it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You have many dragons; it should be quite easy for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Tao was puzzled, but in the end, he did not inquire further: \"Thank you, Mr. Tao.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go on.\" Mr. Tao waved his hand and spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after Mr. Tao had left did Mr. Tao retract his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes were profound, with unfathomable depths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, he lifted a teacup and sipped his tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one knew what he was truly thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nor what he was about to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Tao returned with the dragon egg, which left others somewhat astonished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why is there yet another dragon egg?\" Tang Ya felt there were rather too many dragons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems it hasn't awakened yet.\" The Red Dragon looked at the dragon egg and said: \"Let's take this opportunity to fry it, have you ever eaten egg fried rice?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Golden Dragon said to the Red Dragon: \"You might as well sell it, it could support those fairy guards.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Tao doesn't look like someone who lacks spirit stones, that egg is his, do you think it's possible to sell it?\" The Red Dragon shook its head and sighed: \"Drank too much fake liquor, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Jianxue: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What did Mr. Tao want from you?\" The Blue Dragon asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, the others were curious as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He said some strange things.\" Mr. Tao spoke calmly: \"He said, under the Immortal Court Order, many things will reappear in new forms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, in the future, various oddities may appear in different places.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or some opportunities that seem novel to people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd did not understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because there are some things they do not know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Mr. Tao could not speak of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this way, some crucial information was lacking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, they didn't grasp the general meaning of those words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Tao himself understood little, and he wasn't sure whether Mr. Tao knew that he was aware of a certain ineffable presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These messages had to be relayed first to those at the gathering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps either the river with statues or the sudden appearance of trees in the North were related to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, more important were the traces of causality from the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something is being collected, and yet it has an impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>————\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lawless Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people here were originally discussing some matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ming Ling Fairy found this place quite pleasant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, she was free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As to whether she would remain free in the future, that was yet to be seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of a sudden, she was taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed as though something strange had been tugged at.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without thinking, she knew it was related to someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this faint sensation was somewhat odd to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if someone, somewhere, was collecting something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then was going to do something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even hidden in this Lawless Tower, one couldn't escape from the other's collection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, she called for someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Yinsha learned of the situation, she was somewhat astonished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because she did not understand at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, Baizhi arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you saying that something has started to look for something from your position?\" Baizhi inquired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, that's the feeling, but I'm not sure what's going on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We've sought someone who understands this matter to try and feel it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It may be a conspiracy or perhaps another method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, you need to take it seriously, \" said Ming Ling Fairy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is the feeling still there?\" Baizhi asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It has disappeared for now.\" Ming Ling Fairy shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, Baizhi looked towards the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She understood that if this matter were true, it would certainly be related to that existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that existence was not something she could confront.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't even know whom to consult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially since the Sect Master was again absent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no knowledge of when he would return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao arrived in the abyss of the void, where he saw skies full of lines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that every occurrence in the world would result in a line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And these lines didn't particularly signify anything; they were causality, yet also truth and falsehood, beliefs, and the Tao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These elements intertwined to eventually form a circle, a sphere, a world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Constituting a complex universe, an unfathomable Tao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, causality...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Has no sequence of prior or subsequent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sequence is something displayed by the Tao for people to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through representation, one probes the fundamental nature of reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tao has no beginning and no end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Causality has neither cause nor effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The river of time has neither a past nor a future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or perhaps, once the Tao has a beginning, it then has an ending.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>```\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>```\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Causality breeds a cause and thus a consequence arises.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time grants us the present, and with it, the past and future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, Jiang Hao attained greater enlightenment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still puzzled, he became increasingly sensitive to everything around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, numerous Innate confluences surged towards him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Jiang Hao seemed to realize something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Causal lines on his body began to collapse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cause and Effect Ruins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not a Daily Appraisal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But its literal meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Master Zhuangshuo said, causality has always been in his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His cause carries his consequence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, the essence of causality does not exist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The causality began to retract, returning to nothingness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Jiang Hao felt as if he had stepped out of the Tao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if someone could return to the past, they would not be able to kill his past self.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, Jiang Hao opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything around him returned to normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still found himself within the realm of heaven and earth, albeit somewhat different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His being seemed to have become more profound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, it was difficult for anyone to notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're awake?\" the voice of Heavenly Note Sect reached him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao quickly came to his senses and looked at the woman beside him: \"Senior sister, how long have I been lost in thought?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not too long, just two years,\" Heavenly Note Sect replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao breathed a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only two years; that's not too bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Disappearing for fifteen years, and now zoning out for another two years within days of returning,\" Heavenly Note Sect chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao hastily said: \"This was an accident.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It truly was an accident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He contemplated the odd nature of causality and reached some conclusions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the conclusions seemed forced and he could not fully integrate them into himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To become the foundation of his own Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, the Dao should have begun to recover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, even if it were to truly recover, he would try to suppress it a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, being in such a state is a rare opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could accomplish many things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What did you come to realize this time?\" Heavenly Note Sect poured tea curiously: \"There's no aura of the Dao about you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was pondering whether the cause or the consequence comes first,\" Jiang Hao answered truthfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heavenly Note Sect slightly curious: \"Causality, causality, isn't it that a cause always precedes a consequence?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ordinarily, that's the case. But because Jing Dajiang helped me several times, I returned to the past, thus becoming the Great Elder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the cause is a consequence from the future, and the consequence is a cause from the past,\" Jiang Hao calmly stated: \"Therefore, I've concluded that causality is a manifestation of the Dao, for people to understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's not that a cause must precede a consequence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it's not that consequence must follow a cause, either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao saw Heavenly Note Sect's confusion and smiled: \"Actually, one can step out of the realm of causality to understand it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing in this world is so complicated. Ideas like the cycle of causality can all be considered non-existent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they don't exist, they no longer bind us, and there are no answers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, that's the gist of it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao wasn't sure what else to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the sayings about the Tao have always been abstruse and inexplicable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They can be understood but not conveyed in words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, while I was in my enlightenment, I felt as if someone was searching for me,\" Jiang Hao suddenly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heavenly Note Sect pulled out a letter: \"Indeed, someone was looking for you. The Human Emperor has sent a reply, essentially saying he will not meet you for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, that river has been analyzed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One source is unknown; the other belongs to heaven and earth – both are not simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you want to go and have a look?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao looked at the envelope, somewhat surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said someone was looking for him, but not this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seemingly, someone is tracing the causal threads of the past, the marks of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And is gradually approaching him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very formidable, yet quite strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, the other party is not searching quickly; it seems it would take thousands of years to find him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he were to give them a hand, they might find him much sooner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he's not certain who it could be, it's very likely related to Cheng Yun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worrying that he hasn't died out completely, is this a contingency plan they've left behind?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The possibility exists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That they could discover him in this time period and make a move against his past self.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the death traces of the past, trying to locate the very first version of himself is highly likely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>----\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I recommend a new book from a friend, \"Top Perception: Starting from the Planting of the Bodhi Tree.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The end of the month is near, and the monthly pass is about to expire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, my tooth is still throbbing a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>```\u003C\u002Fp>",1645,"2026-06-03T11:46:44.214Z","2026-06-03T11:46:51.947Z",1,"novelbin.me","028fb1c54bda421d8809595e5e04a04c567797d57c8b50c9268da15bd171dec1","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-1968","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-1966",2139,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-cover.jpg"]
