The stolen magic is a bit magical

The Lord of the Abyss looked down and said, “That realm is not yet suitable for those who uphold the Dao. You should all prepare yourselves and enter that realm on September 19th, two years from now. You must capture this person.”

"Yes!" all seven obeyed in unison.

The lady said, "The two lost supernatural powers are the Heavenly Eye of Wisdom and the Human Heart of Compassion. You should focus on those who are exceptionally intelligent, those whose cultivation speed is unbelievable, and those who are proficient in the art of time reversal. If in that world, these three characteristics are all present in one person, that person must be the one we are looking for!"

"Thank you for your guidance, Madam!"

"go with!"

The seven people exited the Gate of Seclusion at the same time.

Mei Jiu and Liu Ye walked side by side, taking three steps at a time, until they landed on the bank of a river.

“Brother Liu, isn’t that funny?” Mei Jiu said.

"Funny?" Liu Ye glared at him.

"It seems that Junior Sister has inherited eleven supernatural abilities, which is incredibly powerful, but she lacks only 'human compassion' and 'heavenly wisdom,' which in the mortal world is called 'lacking common sense'..."

“You…” Cang Yuan glanced at him sideways, shook his head slightly, and with a flick of his hand, a skylight opened.

Beneath the skylight lies the scene of the Great Wilderness Capital City.

"Brother Liu wishes to descend to the mortal realm?" Mei Jiu asked.

Cangyuan Liuye said, "Isn't it the news you brought me on the Lantern Festival? I have to go and capture Xueyi Hou."

Lantern Festival.

Mei Jiu brought some explosive news to Cang Yuan Liu Ye, who was in seclusion.

Someone impersonated Cangyuan Liuye, stirring up a storm in the Demon Realm.

How could Cangyuan Liuye endure this?

He was determined to bring this audacious thief to Cangyuan and hand him over to the elders to prove that he had no connection with the demon realm's turmoil.

We were supposed to leave Cangyuan back then, but wasn't the situation special?
The matter of my junior sister emerging from seclusion overshadowed everything else.

As one of the seven specialists, he had to join forces to open the Gate of Chaos. Now that everything else was done, it was time for him to take care of this matter—capture the Snow-Clad Marquis.

The skylight is open...

Marquis Xueyi has vanished without a trace...

"Brother Mei, please investigate!" Cang Yuan Liu Ye said.

Mei Jiu stretched out her hand, and time and space reversed.

Soon, they saw Lin Xiaosu returning from the Northern Border.

This one scene alone is enough to declare that he cannot escape.

However, Mei Jiu's eyes widened even more, as if she had witnessed an unbelievable scene.

"Weird!"

"What's so strange?" Cangyuan Liuye asked.

Mei Jiu said, "I have his entire schedule under my watchful eye. However, whenever he is talking to someone or is in his bedroom, I can't see anything clearly. He has a lamp on him!"

"He has a lamp?" Cang Yuan Liu Ye was slightly surprised: "Can you determine what kind of lamp it is?"

"We can only determine that it is neither a human torch nor an earthen torch. As for whether it is a demon, a monster, or a spirit, we have no way of knowing."

Because the human race's lamps and the earth's lamps would conflict with the Heavenly Dao in this world, the fact that he did not sense a strong reaction from the Heavenly Dao can only mean one thing: the lamps he used did not conflict with the Heavenly Dao of this place.

“As long as it’s not a human’s lamp, it’s nothing. After all, he personally destroyed the Demon Emperor’s Palace and went to the Ancient Divine Ruins. It’s not surprising that he obtained a lamp from the demon race or the god-demon race.” Liu Ye said, “Let’s track down where he is right now.”

The matter of providing firewood and lamps is of utmost importance.

However, because these two were of such high status and had such high standards, they overlooked Lin Xiaosu's lamp.

Once they determined that the lamp did not belong to the human race, they had absolutely no interest in it.

Although the lamps of the human race and the lamps of the demon race and the monster race are all lamps, the difference in their weight is like heaven and earth.

There are many kinds of demons and monsters. If each race has its own lamp, then there would be countless lamps. It is not surprising that some races have been wiped out, but their lamps are still used as magical artifacts in the world.

The human race's lamps are different.

All people in the world are human beings, the human race. Only when the lamp of humanity illuminates humanity can the power of the "Heavenly Way in a Square Inch" be developed.

They ruled out the possibility that Lin Xiaosu was a human torchbearer, simply because Lin Xiaosu's torchbearer was not an external magical artifact, but rather a flame that originated within his body.

This cluster of flames grew naturally.

Whether Heaven is willing or not, it is ultimately a product of the natural order.

The use of such lamps is untraceable.

It was only natural.

If Lin Xiaosu had taken the Kun Emperor's Lamp back then, it would obviously have caused an earthquake and landslide on the spot today...

After Mei Jiu's pursuit, Lin Xiaosu appeared elusive in the skylight.

Even Mei Jiu exclaimed in admiration: "Yin Yang Step, this kid's comprehension of the laws is truly exceptional. Brother Liu, why don't you consider taking him as your disciple?"

“If I wanted to take on disciples, I would have taken on a whole bunch three thousand years ago. Why am I still only having one? The world’s geniuses consider themselves extraordinary, but in my eyes, what makes them extraordinary?” Liu Ye said, “…Snowy Plains?”

“Yes, Xueyuan! Has this kid become addicted to attacking other sects, and is now targeting Xueyuan?” Mei Jiu said.

"Haha, if he could truly destroy the Snowfield, I might change my mind and take him as my disciple! Unfortunately, the secrets of the Snowfield are beyond the comprehension of anyone in the world. How could he possibly grasp them?" Cang Yuan Liu Ye moved his feet, stepped into the air, passed through the skylight, and landed directly on the Snowfield...

At this moment, Lin Xiaosu is in an ancient and weathered city.

This city is known as the City of Lost Heritage.

It is the birthplace of the first human emperor.

This human emperor, named Xin, emerged from this city, slew the giant demon Weiyang, established an everlasting dynasty, and truly ignited the inextinguishable flame of life among the masses who emerged from the wilderness.

This place is where he began, and where he will return.

When he set out, he was a spirited young man. How many adventures did he encounter? How many romances did he experience? After three thousand seven hundred years, he finally became a human emperor, slaying the giant demon Weiyang from beyond the chaos, and pacifying the eight wastelands and six directions with the flip of his palm. Cultivation giants knelt at his feet, and ancient true dragons prostrated themselves before him.

This emperor, however, did not remain in the supreme position of the emperor. After ruling the country for a hundred years, he took off his dragon robe, put down his imperial seal, and returned to his homeland in a simple blue robe.

There was no citywide cheering, no civil or military officials, no relatives or children, and not even a stunning beauty.

There was only one old tortoise.

He, with his white tortoise and white hair, climbed step by step up that white jade mountain.

From then on, snow fell heavily on the mountaintops, and a vast snow-covered plain stretched out behind the mountains.

Eighty-one years later, the old tortoise transformed into the Daoist, becoming the Nine Extremes High Platform atop Jade Mountain.

This first emperor, having exhausted his entire body, left behind a three-character bone script scroll.

When the "Human" scroll was published, Heaven was enraged and punished Heaven for a full eighty-one days.

On that day, Emperor Xin angrily pointed to the heavens and left behind four words that became an eternal testament to humanity: All beings are equal!
These four words are not only his angry shout against the Heavenly Dao, but also the eternal rule of the snowfield.

In the snowfield, no matter what level of cultivation one comes here, all are suppressed to the Sky-Gazing Realm, their primordial spirit cannot be used, and the rules cannot be applied.

Therefore, more and more people are gathering in the snowfield. If you encounter a powerful enemy outside, you might as well come to the snowfield. Once you enter the snowfield, you can basically escape all the experts outside.

Some say that this is a piece of pure land for the human race that the Human Emperor preserved for this world.

No matter how fierce or evil the demons in the world are, once you arrive at the snowfield, if it's a dragon, you have to coil up; if it's a ghost, you have to shrink back.

Lin Xiaosu sat in the Yidu Restaurant, gazing at the white jade mountain in the distance.

My heart was also in turmoil.

The equality of all beings is easier said than done.

A great emperor, a hero for all time, paid the ultimate price for these four words: death and annihilation.

The chaotic world cannot tolerate such pride.

How ironic that Heaven cannot treat all beings equally.

Today, he too must embark on a journey alongside this ancient human emperor.

Just as he was paying the bill and getting up, a conversation behind him caught his attention...

"Have you all heard? The Demonic Sect has been defeated!"

"Huh? The Demonic Sect is one of the Nine Sects, they can be defeated?"

"In a normal battle, who could stop the Demonic Sect once they appeared? However, the passage outside the Fallen God Valley is a place where all beings are equal. Everyone's cultivation is suppressed to the Sky-Gazing Realm. Those in the Enlightenment Realm cannot fly, those in the Divine Enlightenment Realm cannot have their primordial spirit leave their bodies, and those in the Enlightenment Realm cannot apply the rules. Once you enter that passage, what awaits you is what the enemy calls 'missiles,' as well as thousands upon thousands of Hidden Dragon Warriors known as 'Nirvana Warriors.' Although those people's combat strength is only at the Sky-Gazing Realm, they are all brave and fearless. Coupled with various bombs, even though the Demonic Sect claims to be invincible in terms of physical strength, they still suffer heavy casualties."

These words touched Lin Xiaosu deeply. He clasped his hands in a gesture of respect and walked over, asking, "Brothers, may I ask what kind of scenery lies outside Fallen God Valley?"

Perhaps it was his refined and handsome appearance that made it difficult for people to feel any ill will towards him, or perhaps it was his skillful use of language that gradually led to the content to come.

Anyway, he knew a lot...

Outside of this Fallen God Valley, barring any unforeseen circumstances, lies the Peacock Valley in the southern border region of the Great Xia Kingdom.

The equality of all beings is due to the snow turtle raised by Yixiang.

Meanwhile, among the Hidden Dragon Warriors, a large number of Rebirth Warriors had emerged.

This was unimaginable before.

Among genetically modified humans, those who have undergone a rebirth are one in ten thousand; how can there be so many?

However, his thoughts returned to the old Tashan Village of that day.

It was before the New Year. Lan Yao disguised herself as Chang Ye and entered his courtyard. He opened Lan Yao's Gate of Creation, and Lan Yao underwent Nirvana on her own. She didn't stay in the hut for even a minute longer and returned to the Qianlong Headquarters with lightning speed.

What she told Lin Xiaosu was that she would use her own destiny to connect the technological chain, so that geneticists could find a stable, controllable, and infinitely replicable path to rebirth.

This road...

It's connected?

In just over a year, have the Hidden Dragon Warriors truly undergone a mass rebirth?
Fortunately, this change has made the passage seem relatively stable.

The middle-aged man in purple robes in front of them spoke: "The Demonic Sect's defeat this time was due to insufficient preparation for the enemy. Upon hearing the news of the defeat, the Demonic Sect was furious and has already dispatched the Ancient Demon Squad, determined to avenge this humiliation."

"Ancient Demon?" Everyone was shocked: "This demon was born in the ancient era. In that era, there were no cultivation laws. It was purely about physical strengthening. If such an army appears in the passage, no amount of methods the other side can use will be effective."

"Yes, equality for all beings is the greatest constraint for highly skilled cultivators, but for ancient demons who do not rely on cultivation levels, it is actually a good thing, especially for pure-blooded purple-blooded ancient demons, who are even more powerful."

“The ancient demons, even the demonic sects don’t have many left, yet they’re making a fuss over this passage… What exactly is on the other side of the passage, in this land of declining Dharma?” someone asked, puzzled. “I’ve heard two extremely bizarre rumors,” one person said. “First, some say that although the other side of the passage is the land of declining Dharma, it is also the place where the last Human Emperor, Kun Di, perished. The three-character bone scripture, the Human Scroll, is in that world, and Kun Di’s divine artifact, the eye of the Zhou Tian Array, is also there.”

Everyone nodded in agreement: "That makes sense. If it's for such a peerless artifact, it wouldn't be surprising if the Nineteen Heavenly Beams used any trump card."

"What you just said is only one version of the rumor. What about the other version?"

That fellow said, "The second rumor is a bit taboo, so please don't spread it around. I've heard that... this matter is related to the Snowfield. The Demonic Sect believes that the appearance of the snow turtle on that passage was part of the Snowfield's plan. The Snowfield is blocking other sects from infiltrating that world, and they want to monopolize the Kun Emperor's treasure."

Everyone looked at each other...

This argument is even more convincing.

Outside the Valley of Fallen Gods, the concept of equality for all beings suddenly appeared.

It is inherently connected to the snowfield, and the equality of all beings is the most famous supernatural power that makes the snowfield famous throughout the world.

Besides snowfields, who can create such a landscape?
The snowfields couldn't have created this out of thin air; they had their own purposes: to block the passage and wait for the right opportunity. Once the opportunity arrived, they would be the first to emerge and seize the initiative, which was in line with the normal practices of a sect.

Xueyuan, on the other hand, has a deep-seated blood feud with the Demonic Sect.

The root cause lies in the fact that the snowfield protected too many people that the demonic sect wanted to hunt down.

This led to the rampant spread of demonic forces. People were not very convinced of their power. At worst, they would fight to the death, and if they lost, their entire clan would have to relocate to the snowy plains.

With this escape route, the Demonic Sect's methods of threatening others have become less intimidating. So how can the Demonic Sect not hate Xueyuan?

Various analyses and information were presented, some publicly and some transmitted through telepathy.

However, even when Lin Xiaosu used the lamp, he could hear everything, even if it was just a telepathic message.

The Demonic Sect is one of the "Nine Gates," and the Nineteen Heavenly Beams are colossal.

Although the Snowfield is not one of the Nineteen Heavenly Beams, its mystery surpasses that of the Nineteen Heavenly Beams. While it lacks any earth-shattering battle achievements to support its existence, the fact that it can preserve a haven of peace amidst the chaos and devastation caused by the Nineteen Heavenly Beams is itself proof of its strength.

Could we make something of it?
He pondered for a long time before finally getting up and walking towards the white jade mountain.

There are two ways to enter the snowfield.

One way is to enter through the Baiyushan Cave, verify your identity, make a commitment, pay a toll, and arrive safely.

Another way is to climb the mountain to get in.

This mountain is a paradox.

No matter how amazing your cultivation is, you will all be suppressed to the Sky-Gazing Realm.

Zhi San came here, and must once again try to glimpse the heavens.

Don't even think about soaring to the sky; Sky Piercer can't fly, you have to crawl!

However, this Jade Mountain is towering high, with sheer cliffs like swords, and there is absolutely no way a monkey could climb it, let alone someone as mediocre as you who can only peek at the sky.

Therefore, there is a prerequisite for climbing this mountain and entering the snowfield: you must be an exceptionally talented individual.

Despite being in the realm of peering into the heavens, they possess actual combat power beyond that realm.

In the path of spiritual cultivation, this is called "jumping over a level to ascend."

Therefore, there is a tacit rule in the snowfield: different ways of entering the snowfield result in different treatment.

Those who pay their way in from the bottom are just at the bottom; nobody pays them any attention, and once they enter the snowfield, they are left to fend for themselves.

Those who cross the mountain to enter are the pride of heaven.

The elite naturally receive the treatment of the elite; the higher they climb, the better their treatment.

Entering through one step, one's name can be added to the list of Xueyuan's disciples, and they will be regarded as registered disciples.

Enter through the second, third, and fourth steps; these are outer disciples.

Enter through five steps, you become an inner disciple.

Once you ascend the six steps, a top elder will surely appear and accept you as their personal disciple.

The seven steps led into the Snow Plains once before, and that was the key figure who sparked the conflict between the Demonic Sect and the Snow Plains: Dong Sanqiu, the legendary figure of the Snow Plains. Originally a member of the Cave Heaven Clan controlled by the Demonic Sect, Dong Sanqiu rebelled against the Demonic Sect and fled thousands of miles to the Snow Plains. If he had entered the Snow Plains through ordinary means, the Snow Plains might not have formed a deep enmity with the Demonic Sect, one of the Nineteen Heavenly Beams, for the sake of a fugitive. However, he entered by crossing the seven steps.

The sect leader was shocked and took him as his personal disciple. The Demonic Sect wanted him, but the sect leader was determined not to part with him and was willing to fight a war for his entire clan.

This demonstrates the astonishing value of this child.

This also shows the value of the seven-step staircase.

This is the highest record in three thousand years.

As for levels eight and nine, they are purely legendary.

Legend has it that from the Eight Extremes Steps, one can observe the changing world, and from the Nine Extremes Peak, one can rival the Emperor.

Lin Xiaosu strode to the foot of Jade Mountain.

Below Jade Mountain lies a wide passage. At the end of the passage, instead of darkness, it is incomparably sacred. Once one reaches the outside of the passage, one's mind and spirit are completely at peace. A magical pressure descends from the void and rests overhead. This pressure seems to block out all the pressures of the world, giving one a sense of tranquility.

There was a door ahead, and two disciples dressed entirely in white stood by the door. The disciples spoke, "State your name and background, undergo testing, and pay ten pieces of barren gold before you can enter!"

When the disciple spoke, his eyes were fixed on the sky.

So Lin Xiaosu didn't stand on ceremony with him and tiptoed.

With a soft hum, he emerged from the water like a fish out of water, stepping up from the cave entrance to the first step above.

This step is ten zhang high.

It wasn't a perfectly straight 90-degree staircase, but rather a slope. Normally, people would slowly incline up the slope to climb stairs, and indeed, there were four or five people inclining along it. Suddenly, with a whoosh, a chaotic surge of energy erupted, and someone leaped over their heads. One of the four or five people was startled; his energy dissipated, and he slid down halfway, landing with a thud and cursing loudly…

The other three or four people quickly regained their footing, their hearts filled with turmoil.

"You can just leap up like that?" one of the disciples asked.

"We are perched atop this solid wall, with boundless pressure pressing down like a never-ending river. It's difficult to move even an inch. Could it be that we chose the wrong method? Should we have simply leaped up?" another disciple said.

"You think you can just leap up? We've all tried it. Under this kind of overwhelming pressure, who can leap three zhang high?"

"But this person can leap ten zhang in one bound!" one disciple exclaimed. "I'll try it too!"

His hands left the stone wall, his feet braced against the jack, and with a slight bend, he leaped up!

Just barely managed to leap a full ten feet high...

A scream rang out as he leaped to the ground, his leg bones broken, and he howled in pain.

Everyone was stunned.

The two disciples at the entrance looked at each other in bewilderment...

As it turns out, it wasn't a matter of method, but rather that it varied from person to person.

The saying goes, "What is difficult for those who don't know is easy for those who do."

Lin Xiaosu leaped up and easily ascended the first step, but that doesn't mean others can achieve the same result by doing the same thing.

On the first level, an elder opened his eyes, a look of surprise in them: "He leaped up to the stage, his foundation is extraordinary, not bad! Young man, what is your master?"

Lin Xiaosu smiled slightly: "It seems that ascending to this Nine Extremes Platform does not require one to disclose their lineage or background. Why does Senior ask such a question?"

The elder said, "It is true that you do not need to state your name or lineage when you ascend the platform, but you will need to register your name and origin when you enter the snowy plains."

"This junior will not enter the snowfield; this junior is merely taking the stage!" Lin Xiaosu said.

"Why not enter the snowfield but merely ascend the stage? What is the reason for that?"

"Look at the scenery!" Lin Xiaosu moved his feet and soared into the sky. His figure glided in an arc through the air, passing through a height of ten feet, and landed on the second step.

The elder on the first step changed his expression.

He leaped from the first to the second step with ease, demonstrating his truly extraordinary abilities.

The elder on the second step had just opened his eyes.

Chi!
Lin Xiaosu leaped up again, level three.

This time, not only were the elders on the third level stunned, but even on the highest tower in the city of Yidu, an old man suddenly opened his eyes.

His disciples stared at the Nine Extremes Platform in astonishment: "Master, he leaped up three levels in a row with a single bound!"

“Although the overall pressure on the bottom three levels is not high, leaping up is a completely different concept from taking it step by step. Even if this child cannot reach the fifth level, he should still be an inner disciple! He may even become an elite.”

"This person looks so refined, yet he has such a solid foundation in cultivation, it's truly..." The disciple's voice trailed off.

Because right under his nose, Lin Xiaosu jumped again.

He leaped up and stood on the fourth floor.

call!
The elder in the highest tower suddenly stood up.

He was an elder of the Snowfield, stationed in the ruins. His main responsibility was to discover promising talents. After hundreds of years, he often lamented that the power of the Nineteen Heavenly Beams was too great, resulting in only misfits coming to the Snowfield. There hadn't been a decent talent for a long time.

Today, a young man has appeared who can skip four grades in a row.

The pressure of each level on the Nine Extremes Platform is twice that of the level below. If the first level is considered as normal for a cultivator, then leaping to the fourth level is equivalent to 16 times the normal pressure!
This is the true standard for the elite!
He had just stood up when Lin Xiaosu once again soared through the air on the fourth step.

It landed steadily on the fifth-level platform.

That's equivalent to 32 times the normal rate!
The elder's eyes lit up, and a communication talisman appeared in his palm: "Seventh Brother, a good prospect, an absolutely good prospect, peek down at the level five platform below..."

On the sixth-level platform, an elder's eyes suddenly lit up, and he stepped to the edge of the platform.

call!
A figure soared through the air and landed in front of him.

This was a young and handsome face, with a bone age of no more than twenty-something. The elder, known as Lao Qi, felt his heart skip a beat. This was already the sixth-level platform, where the pressure was equivalent to 64 times the standard of a normal person.

Those who climbed up were all exceptional talents, but he actually ascended the stage by leaping.

"Young master, I am... the Seventh Elder of the Snowfield!" The Seventh Elder greeted him with a broad smile, displaying utmost friendliness.

"Greetings, Elder!" Lin Xiaosu bowed slightly.

"I am a top elder of the Snowfield. Young master, would you be willing to become my seventh disciple?"

"Thank you for your kindness, Elder, but I did not come here to become your disciple," Lin Xiaosu said.

"Not to become a disciple? Not to join the sect?" The Seventh Elder's expression changed slightly.

"Yes, this junior has come up on stage only to admire the unparalleled scenery of the Human Emperor's Enlightenment Site!" Lin Xiaosu bowed again: "Farewell!"

Bend over and push off with your feet.

With a soft splash, he seemed to break through a layer of solid ice, leaping ten zhang (approximately 33 meters) and landing on the seventh floor. (End of Chapter)
