Clan Cultivation: I Transmigrated With My Smartphone-Chapter 695 - 609 Heavenly Dao Cause and Effect_2

The stronger one's cultivation, the more they tend to keep a low profile, because when cultivation is powerful, one can also sense the dangers of the world, and feel a sense of reverence; on the contrary, those with weak cultivation cannot sense the existence of those mighty figures and naively believe that Divinity Transformation is invincible, thus acting arrogantly everywhere.

In the past, Lu Xuanji thought that the Eastern Wilderness was merely a barbaric land, with a scarcity of strong individuals, and many weak ones.

A Half-Step Void Refining Cultivator could dominate a region;

A Divinity Transformation Cultivator could be regarded as a major figure.

The Eastern Wilderness had few powerful figures.

However, when Lu Xuanji returned to the Eastern Wilderness, he felt a sense of oppression, perceiving the endless void. Within the chaotic void currents, numerous Grotto Heavens surged and shifted, constantly moving positions, flickering like flowing light, swift as stars.

Among these Grotto Heavens, some were already extinct, heading towards ruin, seemingly about to completely vanish soon; some Grotto Heavens housed no cultivators, yet contained numerous Spirit Medicines, Magical Treasures, and some classics; while in others, groups of cultivators lived, engaging in cultivation practice;

Some Grotto Heavens sheltered gatherings of great power.

Some Grotto Heavens hid Supreme Killing Arrays.

These Grotto Heavens differ distinctly, surging in the endless void, constantly moving and changing. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

One moment they were in one place, the next moment in another, moving at incredible speed, even he found it difficult to capture their traces.

As he perceived these Grotto Heavens, Lu Xuanji felt unease, sensing a touch of fear.

In those Grotto Heavens, some top-tier powerhouses lay hidden, and their numbers were not few but rather numerous.

"Indeed, the seemingly barren Eastern Wilderness actually conceals top-tier experts in slumber! The remoteness results in more high-level cultivators! Although the Spiritual Qi in the Eastern Wilderness is thin, it doesn't really matter!" Lu Xuanji lamented: "Upon reaching the Void Refining Realm, one must continually repay the heaven and earth karma!"

Qing Lian frowned as well, saying: "I sense within the void an inevitable karma that must be repaid, otherwise, one will face the world's rejection, leading to disaster!"

Lu Xuanji's eyes flashed, sensing the changes in the void, perceiving the celestial secrets, and he frowned slightly: "The Void Refining Realm is a dividing point."

"Below the Void Refining, Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Purple Mansion, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Divinity Transformation—these six realms—cultivators must continuously absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, obtain treasures, Spirit Medicines, Spiritual Ores, and such, ceaselessly extracting resources and opportunities from the world to strengthen themselves."

"The greater the luck, the more opportunities one gets, the more treasures one gains. The more promising the future, the more hopeful the destiny. Cultivating to the Divinity Transformation Realm, who hasn't experienced top-tier opportunities and fortuitous encounters. Yet, upon reaching the Void Refining realm, begins the constant repayment of 'Heaven and Earth Karma.'"

One must temper the Spiritual Qi and numerous treasures extracted from the stars within the endless void to return to the world; likewise, the opportunities and encounters gained, now must be returned to the world.

In the Void Refining Realm, cultivators no longer absorb the Spiritual Qi of the Purple Mansion Realm, but rather draw energy from the void, refining the Power of the Sun, Moon, and Stars to convert it into Spiritual Qi. A portion is used for the cultivator's personal cultivation; another portion is returned to the world, promoting the balance of Spiritual Qi in the world.

Similarly, the cultivators, obtained treasures, opportunities, and such in their early days; upon certifying Dao in Void Refining, they must continually create Secret Realms, leave Cave Mansion legacies, and sprinkle cultivation technique manuals around, to clear the celestial karma.

Those who can ascend to the Immortal Realm are surely those who have repaid the heaven and earth karma."

Qing Lian said: "If we fall halfway, unable to repay the karma, then our descendants will bear the corresponding karma on our behalf, continually repaying the debts!"

Sensing the changes in celestial secrets, Qing Lian's expression altered.

Debts must be repaid.

One can't act like a deadbeat.

In a past life, a certain major country owed a lot of debt but still lived comfortably, as the saying goes, the debtor is the boss.

But in this world, if the heavenly debts aren't repaid, the cultivator themselves will face rejection from the world, experiencing misfortunes repeatedly; even descendants may face significant calamities, talents may wither, cultivators may decline, and various issues may arise endlessly.

For oneself and the clan, one must repay the karma.

"The stronger the cultivation, the more heaven and earth karma owed. Based on the original, Void Refining Cultivators must repay double, Harmonization Cultivators must repay four times, Tribulation Crossing Cultivators must repay eight times... no wonder Immortal Cultivators are so rare. Only a few cultivators have the qualification to clear the debt!"

Qing Lian calculated the celestial secrets, perceived the karma owed to the Heavenly Dao, and frowned slightly.

The debt pressure is somewhat immense, especially for those high-level cultivators.

Nine out with thirteen returned, the debt repayment pressure is quite hefty.

Within the Heavenly Dao's debt, there are not only installment plans but also high-interest loans, compound interest, and more, treating many cultivators like crops to be harvested.

For instance, the Spiritual Qi and resources absorbed by Void Refining Cultivators are one, yet when repaid must double; upon reaching Harmonization Realm, repayments become quadruple; at Tribulation Crossing, they increase eightfold.

Debts continuously escalate, the heavy debt pressure crushes many cultivators.

Many Tribulation Crossing Cultivators may cultivate for a lifetime and still be unable to repay such costly debts.

Forecasting the cause and effect behind the Heavenly Dao, Qing Lian's originally joyful expression became melancholic.

"Husband, the Heavenly Dao is quite deceitful!"

Qing Lian remarked discontentedly.

"Nevermind, at least, in those days, the Heavenly Dao favored us, allowing us to grasp opportunities, earn treasures, and rise!" Lu Xuanji said: "As for other matters, discuss them later!"

...

Unnoticed, Lu Xuanji and Qing Lian returned to the Lu Family, arranging everything.

Soon after, Lu Xuanji slashed through the void, entering the chaotic void currents.

Qing Lian soon followed, entering the chaotic void currents.

Whoosh!

Lu Xuanji took out Void Crystal Stones, tossing them into the void, then urging magical power to invoke void fluctuations.

The void twisted and changed, strands of Power of Space entered into the Void Crystal Stones, which began to melt, transforming into a sphere.

The sphere twisted and changed as magical power was infused into it, Divine Crystal, Profound Iron, Earth, and other materials joined in, continuously tempering and constructing.

Gradually, in the endless void, a massive Grotto World emerged.

At the onset, the internal space of the Grotto World was diminutive, akin to the size of a watermelon, resembling a Storage Ring; but with the addition of various materials and meticulous magical power control, its structure was adjusted, its framework constructed and reorganized.

The Grotto World continuously expanded, gradually transforming into a spherical world.

This Grotto World had a diameter of one hundred kilometers, its area somewhat narrow.

Inside, the space was rather barren, mostly sandy, lacking Spiritual Qi, missing necessary survival conditions.

Lu Xuanji intervened, tossing a Fifth Grade Spirit Vein into the Grotto World, the Spirit Vein resembled a Giant Dragon, lurking underground; also planting a Seventh Grade Peach Tree at the center of the Grotto, beginning to manage the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, channeling the extreme natural environment.

Additional Spirit Grass and Spirit Medicines were planted within.

Further, a lake was constructed inside, fish fry tossed into the lake, starting to rear fish.

Following was the relocation of a palace into the Grotto, starting some foundational construction.

Qing Lian joined in as well, beginning construction in certain regions.

Time flowed, and ten years later, the initial construction of the Grotto was complete.

Their figures shimmered, entering the Grotto World.

Witnessing all this, Qing Lian frowned slightly and said: "Husband, the environment of the Grotto World is somewhat extreme, not suited for ordinary people and low-level cultivators; at minimum, only Nascent Soul Cultivators can enter here to live and develop, but still lacking somewhat."

Indeed, still lacking somewhat.
