The assembled giants shuddered, each bowing deeply in gratitude.

"Beyond the Supreme Source..."

Upon hearing these words, the eyes of the crowd of giants flickered, a trace of longing and yearning appearing in their depths.

Whether anyone had reached this realm above the Heavens, they did not know, but they could be certain that the one before them was absolutely beyond the Supreme Source!

Thinking of this figure's unfathomable mystery and peerless terror, everyone felt their spirits lift with longing and desire.

If possible, who would not wish to see what scenery lies beyond the Supreme Source...

Taking a deep breath, soon everyone's eyes returned to clarity.

Thinking about it for a moment is enough; any more is unnecessary.

They have not even reached the Supreme of the Heavens yet; thinking too much is merely wishful thinking and reaching for the stars, having no meaning at all. One cannot eat a fat person in a single bite; it is enough to walk every step steadily and firmly.

Seeing the changes in the expressions of the Honghuang giants, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Li Mo's eyes.

Not bad, indeed they have grown considerably.

"Now that you understand, do you have any other realization regarding the Supreme Dao of Cause and Effect?"

Returning to the main topic, Li Mo looked at Yin Shi.

"Yes, though I do not know if my thoughts are right or wrong; I earnestly beg Your Venerability for guidance."

Yin Shi said humbly.

Seeing Li Mo's eye gesture, Yin Shi pondered briefly before speaking: "If Cause and Effect is the Supreme, it should take Cause and Effect as its core."

"Cause and Effect: only with a Cause can there be an Effect; this is the core, and also the source."

"Cause comes first, Effect comes later."

"Therefore, if one holds the Supreme Dao of Cause and Effect, one must first realize the Cause, then realize the Effect, and thereafter gather them to form the Source of Cause and Effect, thereby establishing the foundation of the Supreme Cause and Effect."

"If realized to the extreme, I would personally govern all Cause and Effect; with a single thought, the Cause and Effect of all Heavens would be held by me, all covered by me, thus allowing all Cause and Effect of the Heavens to be gathered into the palm of my hand."

"I am the Source of Cause and Effect, and also the root of all things; everything is manipulated by me, and all is held by me."

"This is my realization; please, Your Venerability, judge clearly."

"I have only thought of how to realize it, but I have no clue yet on exactly how to do it."

"Your Venerability, is my thinking mistaken?"

Having spoken, Yin Shi scratched his head, feeling somewhat embarrassed and nervous, looking anxiously at Li Mo with a troubled heart, fearing he had made a mistake again.

As for the realization problem, the time was too short, and since he had not yet stepped onto the path of the Supreme, his insights and realizations regarding the path of the Supreme were obviously very weak.

If asked to implement it specifically and how to do it, Yin Shi would truly be at a loss, unable to figure anything out.

"It is not mistaken."

"Not bad, your aptitude is commendable."

"Cause and Effect: only with a Cause can there be an Effect. Though it appears as a whole, it is actually split apart; taking Cause as the beginning and Effect as the end, one must strictly remember the sequence, allowing no error, and not mixing them together. If realized together, this will only be indefinitely far off."

"Begin with Cause, end with Effect; one must first realize Cause, gather Cause, and then realize Effect, comprehend Effect. Only thus can a closed loop be formed, only thus can one truly become proficient in and master Cause and Effect, and only thus can true Cause and Effect be formed."

Li Mo spoke slowly, saying with appreciation.

"Your Venerability overpraises."

Upon hearing this, Yin Shi relaxed slightly, a hint of joy appearing on his face.

"As for how to cultivate, borrow Cause to return Effect, borrow Effect to return Cause."

Li Mo said with a light laugh.

"Borrow Cause to return Effect?"

Light seemed to appear in Yin Shi's eyes, and he vaguely felt some realization in his heart.

Amidst fluctuations of aura, his sea of consciousness was as if stirred by boundless waves, as if vast amounts of Daoic rhymes were gathering, and countless realizations were rising; misty, brilliant, colorful, and mysterious light, his sea of consciousness seemed to have undergone a earth-shattering change.

"Borrow Cause to return Effect, borrow Effect to return Cause... Borrow Cause to return Effect, borrow Effect to return Cause..."

"Cause and Effect... Cause and Effect..."

"Yes, it can be done this way; simply doing this is enough, why think so much, why make so many unnecessary moves?"

"Killing two birds with one stone, it is completely a case of killing two birds with one stone!"

"I understand!"

"Thank you, Your Venerability, for guiding me out of confusion!"

Mumbling in his mouth, as he kept speaking, Yin Shi seemed to be deducing and realizing something; after a long while, his body shuddered, and the divine light in Yin Shi's eyes was already difficult to contain.

It was as if a great sun had taken its position, as if a majestic heavenly power was sweeping across.

His aura was even more like an ultimate sublimation, as if an endless transformation.

Profound and deep, ineffably wonderful.

Amidst the evolution of misty clouds, it seemed to breathe out brilliant colorful light; as if countless Great Daos were appearing and disappearing, being reorganized and constructed for him.

Yin Shi's entire body seemed to be washed and sublimated by it; a hint of the flavor of the Supreme was vaguely appearing, and between his eyes, Cause and Effect seemed to be winding around, as if tracing back to the endless source.

Clearly, reminded by Li Mo's eight characters, Yin Shi had already realized some flavor of the Supreme; even though he had not yet entered the door, he had already undergone a transformation, as if one foot had stepped into the realm of the Supreme.

Undoubtedly, even if Li Mo stopped lecturing and guiding, relying solely on Yin Shi's own power would be enough to step onto the path of the Supreme; the only difference would be the amount of time.

"Speak and let me hear."

Li Mo said with a smile.

"Cause and Effect inherently possesses evolution and laws at the root."

"Whoever touches Cause and Effect will have some bond; this bond originates from the root, and is also an extension of rules and order."

"It can only be shielded, but never erased, unless both parties touching Cause and Effect are directly annihilated."

"Precisely because of this, Cause and Effect is also the most unsolvable existence, and also the most difficult thing to realize."

"If one does not involve Cause and Effect, if one's self does not possess Cause and Effect, how could one realize Cause and Effect at a deeper level?"

"Therefore, one must borrow causes to repay effects, and borrow effects to repay causes!"

"Borrow others' causes to repay others' effects!"

"Borrow others' effects to repay others' causes!"

"Using one's own Great Dao of Cause and Effect as a guide, intercept others' causes and effects; bit by bit, comprehend oneself through every type and every thing, then repay the causes and effects through oneself."

"With oneself as the core, evolve into the causes and effects of the Heavens; begin with the causes and effects of a single realm. I am the causes and effects, the causes and effects are me; I transform into the causes and effects, I manifest the causes and effects."

"With my own self, bear the source of causes and effects."

"Starting from others' causes and effects, gather my own source of causes and effects into my body; thus connect, extend once, and when mature, I can transform into the causes and effects of a realm."

"Then gather and comprehend the causes and effects of a realm to strengthen oneself; if reaching the absolute peak, one can naturally radiate across the Heavens and cover the myriad worlds. By that time, the causes and effects are me, I am the causes and effects; I am the source of all, the root of causes and effects."

"The supreme Great Dao of Cause and Effect lies not in gathering causes and effects upon my body, but in gathering causes and effects upon my Dao Fruit. My Dao Fruit bears both cause and effect, and through bearing, it blesses and strengthens the causes and effects!"

Yin Shi spoke haltingly at first; his thoughts were somewhat chaotic. But as time passed, Yin Shi gradually sorted out what he wanted to say. By the end, it was as if the causes and effects had blessed him, and every word he spoke contained the profundity of causes and effects.

"One's self as the guide, the Dao Fruit as the source."

"Your Dao Fruit is the source of causes and the source of effects."

"Thus, bearing all causes and effects, gathering all causes and effects; with a single thought, it can transform into the causes of the Heavens and evolve the effects of the myriad worlds."

"Causes and effects alike are within your grasp."

"When this is unleashed, even those with a higher cultivation base are bound beneath the causes and effects."

"If one day you hold the causes and effects of the Heavens, by that time, it will be the supreme realm of the Heavens, and also the day the first step of this supreme Great Dao of Cause and Effect reaches its absolute peak foundation. From this, one can forge the supreme Dao foundation and establish the foundation of the supreme."

Li Mo said these words to himself calmly.

It was as if he were summarizing Yin Shi's words, or perhaps organizing the general outline and evolving myriad wonders.

In an instant, Yin Shi's body trembled; places he had not understood before quickly became clear, and vague areas were thoroughly extended. His aura rose to the extreme, and between his eyes and brow, a supreme flavor seemed to have gathered.

In his sea of consciousness, an imprint that reflected eternal ages and endless space-time, as if originating from the majestic source, gradually surfaced.

"Thank you, Venerable One, for bestowing the Dao. Your grace, Yin Shi will never forget for all eternity. If needed, even if I die, my Dao perishes, and my body is shattered, I will still go forward without hesitation!"

With surging emotions and bright eyes, Yin Shi immediately bowed deeply to Li Mo and said solemnly. A series of roars seemed to erupt in the heavens and earth, as if the source in the unknown was reflecting, responding to, and witnessing Yin Shi's oath.

"Hurry up. Luck, it is your turn."

Li Mo nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to the last Chaos Demon God and spoke calmly.

Having spoken of five supreme Daos at once, Li Mo felt somewhat weary, or rather, wished to hurry up.

Enough time had already been wasted; he still needed to enter seclusion to prepare for the coming events. Naturally, he must hurry up!

The Luck Demon God, Yun Dao!

One of the special Demon Gods among the Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods.

His cultivation base could rank within the top fifty of the Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods; if his special authority were added, his strength could even rank in the top ten!

Luck is fortune; he holds fortune, gathering fortune into his body. The terror of the Luck Demon God can be imagined. Even Mu Tiange, who has only just begun to hold the supreme Great Dao of Fortune, finds it difficult to contend with Yun Dao in this aspect of fortune.
