Chapter 1235: Confusion
"It's truly unimaginable!" The Holy Venerable looked at Ye Chen with a grave expression. "Such power is overwhelmingly strong, far surpassing the limits of the Heavenly Dao, even stronger than the God Lord of a foreign realm!"
"However, such power is too immense, it shouldn't exist according to common sense!"
This kind of power was hidden within Ye Chen. After repelling Yu Jizi, it subsided again, as if it had never appeared.
But the Holy Venerable was no ordinary person; in a split second, he grasped everything and sensed a great terror.
"Ye Chen, what secrets are there in you that even I cannot perceive?"
Yu Jizi looked at Ye Chen, his face full of seriousness.
The power within Ye Chen was too strong; just leaking a trace of it had pushed him back, leaving Yu Jizi unable to comprehend or imagine it.
"Indeed!" echoed the Holy Venerable. "What secrets do you possess that the Heavenly Dao experts cannot uncover?"
The Heavenly Tao Realm is the pinnacle of cultivation, even the God Lords from other realms have not surpassed this realm.
But the power within Ye Chen was something the Heavenly Dao experts could not even glimpse without suffering repercussions. Such a thing was shocking and beyond imagination. Even the God Lord of a foreign realm couldn't possess such authority.
"I, I know nothing."
Ye Chen stood there dumbfounded, already frightened out of his wits.
The Holy Venerable and Yu Jizi were Heavenly Dao experts, standing above the great Transcendence, and could be considered the strongest in the universe!
Yet, when Yu Jizi sought to probe him, he was repelled by the power within Ye Chen...
Where did such power come from? Moreover, who could have the ability to leave such power within him that it could repel a Heavenly Dao expert?
The Holy Venerable and Yu Jizi stared at him with eyes wide, as if looking at a monster, making Ye Chen feel wronged, as he truly knew nothing!
"This..."
Ye Chen's bewilderment was genuine, not feigned, which made the Holy Venerable and Yu Jizi frown, finding it incredible.
What causal force was hidden within Ye Chen that was so terrifying, they couldn't investigate it... or perhaps they didn't have the right to investigate it?!
Moreover, Ye Chen was the origin of this causality, yet he knew nothing about it, which was truly unfathomable.
"I know there's causality within me, and I feel burdened by destiny, but everything seems connected to the center of the universe, all related to the Holy Venerable, but I never thought..." Ye Chen looked at the Holy Venerable and Yu Jizi, feeling bitterness in his mouth, with an indescribable sensation.
Ye Chen was a smart person; he knew about the causality within him and had speculation about it. However, Ye Chen's imagination wasn't vivid enough; he guessed the opening but missed the ending.
At this moment, Ye Chen felt a deep sense of sorrow, feeling like a chess piece being moved back and forth, unable to jump out of the chessboard no matter how hard he tried.
"It seems there's a great secret hidden within you, one that, once revealed, could be earth-shattering!"
Yu Jizi and the Holy Venerable exchanged a glance, seeing the shock, bewilderment, and helplessness in each other's eyes.
"Whew."
Ye Chen took a deep breath, with nothing much to say.
In this short time, the causality within him was exposed, which was too overwhelming for him.
Fortunately, Ye Chen's mental endurance was astonishing; if an ordinary person faced such shock, they might question their own existence, becoming akin to a mentally vacant being.
"I seem to foresee a glimpse of the future, something that could affect everything, even the other realms won't be an exception," the Holy Venerable sighed deeply.
The other realm seemed like a fishbone, stuck in the Holy Venerable's throat, making him want to remove it, yet he was helpless.
However, the causality within Ye Chen seemed like another crisis, more frightening than even an invasion from the foreign realm.
"Indeed," Yu Jizi said solemnly. "We've always been active within the universe, yet we've overlooked what lies beyond... there could be something lurking out there!"
"We'll face soldiers with generals, water with soil!"
At this time, Ye Chen's eyes shone brightly, speaking these words.
The Holy Venerable and Yu Jizi were moved, all looking at Ye Chen with surprise; where did this guy come from?
...
Ye Chen is the protagonist of this era and a disciple of Yu Jizi, one of the strongest Tao seeds.
Moreover, when Yu Jizi was lost, the Holy Venerable always kept an eye on Ye Chen, fearing he might perish prematurely.
Therefore, the two were extremely familiar with Ye Chen's existence, even capable of foreseeing his past, present, and future.
However, when the causality within Ye Chen erupted, leaving them unable to fathom, they realized they were mistaken.
Ye Chen existed in this world, but he was never under their control.
They couldn't even see through Ye Chen, unaware of his past lives!
There was a profound causality in the unseen, guiding Ye Chen forward, beyond interference from anyone.
This caused a significant impact on the Holy Venerable and Yu Jizi, as the causality surrounding Ye Chen posed a tremendous threat to them.
However, it also allowed them to see a glimmer of hope, as they had always believed the Heavenly Tao Realm to be the pinnacle of cultivation, with no further advancement possible!
But the power hidden within Ye Chen exceeded their understanding; it was a power above the Heavenly Dao!
There was potential for further advancement!
"What is the origin of the causality within me, and what destiny am I bearing?"
The one most affected was still Ye Chen because there were so many mysteries surrounding him, causing him to start doubting himself.
"I thought that by coming to the center of the universe, all causality would be unveiled, yet... everything returned to the starting point, I'm still the same, unable to see through myself."
After leaving the sacred hall, Ye Chen seemed soulless, like a wandering ghost.
His life's aura grew weaker and weaker, like an old man nearing the end of life.
"Why is this happening?"
Ye Chen questioned himself inwardly, causing flaws in his Dao heart, crumbling bit by bit.
"Where did I come from, and what destiny do I carry?"
For cultivators, the greatest fear isn't death, but confusion.
Ye Chen began to doubt himself, a dead-end path that could lead him to self-destruction.
"Where did this causality come from?"
Ye Chen suddenly stopped, as his Dao heart collapsed, his aura became chaotic, and even the imperial runes within him trembled.
"Boom!"
Ye Chen felt a chaos in his mind, ultimately exploding, revealing a scene of cosmic annihilation.
"What is the starting point?"
"What is the end?
Ye Chen was deeply puzzled.
He had a strong intuition that even if he stood at the summit, he would still be manipulated by fate, unable to live true to himself.
A storm formed in Ye Chen's mind, and his aura grew increasingly weaker, as if he reached the end.
This is a dangerous phenomenon; if Ye Chen's Dao heart collapses, he would cease to exist, and even if he survives, he would become a cripple.
Such is the severity of a collapsed Dao heart!
