The stolen magic is a bit magical

Lu Yun said, "The reason I suffered divine punishment is that I realized the Zhou Tian Grand Array was nearing its end. I wanted to send a message to Qianlong to help repair the array, but this went against the will of Heaven. Therefore, my eyes were blinded and my memories of the array's layout were destroyed."

"This Heavenly Dao... wishes to break free?" Lin Xiaosu asked.

"Yes, this is the struggle between Heaven and Man! Millions of years ago, Emperor Kun used the Zhou Tian Grand Array to sever the connection between Heaven and Earth. It was a compromise between Heaven and Man, causing the spiritual energy of this world to wither and fall completely under the control of Man. However, Heaven's cycle is endless, and the compromise only lasts for millions of years. Now, it is about to break free! It is about to reintegrate into the laws of the Heavenly Dao world. Therefore, the time for the Zhou Tian Grand Array to be destroyed has come. Anyone who tries to stop this process will be killed by Heaven."

"Daoist Master, I do not intend to sever the connection between heaven and earth again."

Lu Yun frowned...

"There are two ways for humans and heaven to contend for the Dao. One is to draw a line on the ground and imprison themselves. This is the method adopted by Emperor Kun. He used great supernatural powers to draw a line on the ground and regarded cultivators of the Dao as floods and beasts. This move was indeed effective in winning millions of years of independent space for the human race, but it is ultimately not the right path. Therefore, I plan to change to another method!"

"What kind of method?"

"If he wants to compete, then let him compete! Compete openly and transparently, compete fairly and squarely!" Lin Xiaosu said, "Defeat them in every field, at every level! Stop viewing Heavenly Dao cultivators as monstrous floods and beasts, but look at them as equals, and then look down upon them!"

Lu Yun was completely shocked: "Emperor Kun, once a hero of the human race, had only ever shown the greatest ambition by drawing a line between himself and others... Little Su, you..."

"Over millions of years, history has always taught us many things," Lin Xiaosu said. "For example, the Great Xia Kingdom of the past also had a long period of isolation. At that time, people tended to think that those who could guard the country's gates were heroes. But today's Great Xia Kingdom has opened its gates and faced challenges with composure. It still stands at the top of the world. It is not afraid of the strong and dares to slaughter the demons. This is the foundation of the human race!"

Lu Yun slowly raised his gaze, staring at the thirteen statues of the Human Emperor for a long time, before finally turning around slowly: "Little Su, since you have made your grand vow, I will return to being a lamp spirit. How about you take me on a new path?"

"No!"

"No?" Lu Yun was quite surprised.

"This lamp has another purpose, and its end will be destruction," Lin Xiaosu said. "But you, Daoist Master, will not perish along with it!"

"You intend to use this lamp... to kill Huang Gu?" Lu Yun said softly.

Lin Xiaosu smiled.

Lu Yun smiled gently: "This is probably the biggest difference between you and Kun Di. He is the unadorned earth, while you are the ethereal and unrestrained flowing clouds. Alright, I won't ask! Today, as the lamp spirit, I will do one last thing for you: re-determine the Zhou Tian Grand Array... Today you are the lamp holder. If the Heavenly Dao erases my consciousness, you should directly eliminate my spiritual body to prevent me from becoming an anomaly of the Heavenly Dao."

"Don't worry, it won't happen!" Lin Xiaosu raised her hand, holding a lamp in her hand as well.

Lu Yun was shocked: "You also have your own guiding light?"

"Yes! My lamp can demonstrate the true laws of the human world, which cannot be demonstrated outside, but it can be demonstrated here in the Tomb of Heroes! Today, the Tomb of Heroes is not a place under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Dao!"

Lu Yun spun around and entered the Kun Emperor's Lamp.

Inside the Martyrs' Cemetery, a screen wall lights up...

This screen wall contains a universe within, imbued with countless symbols representing different worlds and place names.

The Kun Emperor's Lamp slowly rotated before the screen wall, searching for the foundation of the Great Array of Heavenly Cycles severed by the Heavenly Dao. One line lit up and extended, then another line lit up and extended...

Lin Xiaosu sat cross-legged.

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, the two primordial spirits each had their own roles.

A primordial spirit holds a lamp, demonstrating the true laws of humanity and completely shielding the heavenly way.

Another primordial spirit sat before the mirror of the mind, analyzing its own flower of spatial laws.

Why did he go to such lengths, even willing to fight Cang Yuan and Liu Ye, just to buy himself a month of time?

That's because he has three major tasks to complete.

First, they took away the lamp.

Secondly, deciphering the Great Zhou Tian Formation Diagram is crucial. This artifact has long been lost and cannot be found anywhere. Only by tracing back in this way can we hope to obtain a complete Great Zhou Tian Formation Diagram.

Thirdly, there is the attainment of the Dao fruit through the laws of space.

Entering Cangyuan was a gamble between him and Cangyuan Liuye.

That bet was made by Lin Xiaosu—if he won, he would not be a prisoner in Cangyuan, but merely a traveler!
He won the bet.

Although Cangyuan Liuye had to abide by the rules in theory, his past experience told him that placing his hopes on others would inevitably lead to tragedy. He wanted to take advantage of this rare gap in time to improve his cultivation, and the laws of space were the most promising way to achieve Dao fruition in a short period of time.

After all, the Dao Flower of the Space Laws had already withered...

Time passes day by day.

More than twenty days have passed in the blink of an eye...

The primordial spirit in front of Lin Xiaosu's mirror suddenly stood up.

As he stood up, the petals of the Dao Flower of Spatial Laws fluttered down, and a crystal-clear Dao Fruit appeared within his body. With a single rotation, countless cycles, his sea of ​​consciousness and his sea of ​​wheels were instantly transformed...

Lin Xiaosu slowly opened her eyes. On the screen wall in front of her, a complete array diagram had just been drawn with the last stroke.

Array base 360.

It's not the 36 of the Xuan Tian system formations, nor the 108 of the Xiao Zhou Tian formations, but 360.

His mind was like a computer starting up, with each of the 360 ​​base points being decrypted and distributed around the world.

The other primordial spirit also activated its knowledge of array formations. Through these 360 ​​array bases and the special sensations on them, it finally truly touched upon the Great Zhou Heavenly Array Formation.

There is no need to repair these damaged array bases at present. In fact, the scale of the repair work is unbelievable.

Fortunately, he didn't need to repair it again.

All he wanted was to perfect his knowledge of array formations.

"Do you remember?" Master Lu Yun looked extremely tired, as if all his energy had been drained.

"I've written it all down! You can clear it now!"

With a sway of his body and a flick of the lamp, all the stripes on the screen wall disappeared.

He emerged from the lamp and landed, returning to his original form.

The lamp was turned and ended up in Lin Xiaosu's hands.

Lin Xiaosu's two lamps disappeared into her body at the same time.

"Master, do you have anywhere to go in the future?"

"Don't worry, I have a place to go!" Daoist Lu Yun said, "The land of China is full of heroic spirits, so I'm sure they won't object. Plus, I have a rather special heroic spirit."

"Master Daoist is mighty!" Lin Xiaosu laughed. "Actually, Master Daoist has another place to go."

"where?"

“Liulin Temple!” Lin Xiaosu said, “When you left Liulin Temple, my second uncle guarded the temple for twenty years. My second aunt is almost a statue waiting for her husband.”

"Haha..." Lu Yun laughed: "Alright, this can be considered a fulfillment of cause and effect. I'll return to Liulin Temple so your second uncle and his wife can reunite. In your spare time, you can study the scriptures; in times of war, you can come down the mountain as a Taoist priest. You can live like a real person. Not bad, wonderful!"

"Let's go!"

"go!"

The two walked out of the three heavens side by side.

The gates of the Taoist temple in the Three Heavens were thus closed.

From that time on, the Three Heavens ceased to exist, for there were no more heroic spirits in the Three Heavens. All heroic spirits remained in the mortal world, including this generation, the previous generation, and even one from a million years ago…

Lu Yun gracefully returned to Liulin Temple.

Lin Xiaosu stared at his back for a long time, then took a step and soared into the air, shooting off in another direction.

Kun Cang!

There are only four days left in January.

He has another place he needs to visit, which is the Kunlun and Cangshan Mountains.

Today's Kuncang is not what it used to be.

The Kun Cang Lock was completely unlocked that day.

This is because the people of Kuncang are no longer the targets of this world's defenses, but rather the comrades-in-arms of Qianlong.

The passageway has opened, and things are changing rapidly on both sides.

The town of Huiyan even has more restaurants that cater specifically to guests from Kun and Cang, and the market is full of trade between the two worlds.

Aside from a symbolic registration, there were no other obstacles in the passage. Just a moment ago, Lin Xiaosu was dressed in the clothes of this world, but after crossing the Kun Cang Gate, his clothes became the same as those of the locals of Kun Cang. This was the effect of the clothes he obtained from the Primordial God Ruins of the Desolate Ancient World.

This garment can be made large or small, and can take on any shape.

Stepping into Kun Cang, he soared into the air and reached Liangjie Mountain in one stride.

Kun Cang shows changes in its integration with the outside world everywhere, but perhaps only Liangjie Mountain remains unchanged for thousands of years.

As Lin Xiaosu entered the back mountain, a butterfly suddenly appeared in front of her.

He looked at the butterfly and smiled slightly, and the butterfly's wings fluttered into flowers: "Is it you?"

"it's me!"

"Come!"

With a whoosh, Lin Xiaosu swept across the boundless winds and clouds of Liangjie Mountain and landed in front of an old man, who was none other than Gu Jian Youchen.

"This is your wine from that day!" Gu Jian Youchen raised his hand and tossed half a bottle of wine over: "I couldn't bear to drink the remaining half, so I'm using it to entertain you today."

"How am I supposed to drink it if you say that?" Lin Xiaosu raised her hand: "I didn't have time to buy more, this is all I have on me, you drink it first!"

This time, he only gave Gu Jian Youchen one case of wine, six bottles.

As he said, he didn't have time to make the purchases.

Lone Sword Dust was delighted: "You drink mine, I'll drink yours, let's have a toast!"

The two bottles of wine were lightly touched together, and they took a big gulp at the same time.

“I’ve heard some news from the outside world. You finally found the Three-Character Bone Script, the Human Character Scroll, and succeeded in protecting this world,” said Lone Sword Dust.

This was the arrangement he made with Lin Xiaosu that day.

After Lin Xiaosu left Kun Cang, he sent her to the Third Heaven to search for the Three-Character Bone Script Scroll.

Because these three characters of bone script are the only divine artifact to save this world.

Subsequently, although his true body could not leave Liangjie Mountain and his primordial spirit transformed into a butterfly, he still learned about the situation outside. Lin Xiaosu summoned the heroic spirits and fulfilled the protection of this world.

This was indirectly due to his efforts, and the old man was very happy. He drank several bottles of wine by himself in one night, and only stopped when he couldn't bear to drink anymore...

"It wasn't me who found it, it was you!" Lin Xiaosu smiled gently at him.

Lone Sword Dust's eyes flashed: "You...you've discovered some secrets, haven't you?"

"Yes, I was killed by you three times in Tianyuan. If it weren't for my primordial spirit having performed another merit, I would have been gone long ago. You didn't tell me that the Three-Character Bone Scripture, the Scroll of the Human Character, was stolen by you when you severed the Three Corpses." Lone Sword Dust sighed softly: "You only see the surface. In fact, he didn't steal it!"

"Not stolen? You gave it to him?"

"The Three-Character Bone Book, who in the world wouldn't want it? I had a premonition that I would eventually be unable to escape those people's grasp. If the Bone Book were in my hands, it would surely be lost. That's why I severed my three corpses and used them to carry the Bone Book to escape into the Heavenly Abyss. Anyone who enters the Heavenly Abyss from the side of the Desolate Ancient will surely die, but at least the Bone Book won't fall into their hands."

"Senior, you have truly devoted yourself to this cause throughout your life!" Lin Xiaosu said, "The Three-Character Bone Script left a spark for the human race. At Jianmen Pass, you painfully cut it off to avoid endangering the life of your beloved. I truly admire you!"

Below Jianmen Pass...

Gu Jianyouchen swallowed a mouthful of wine, then suddenly coughed...

He coughed, looking rather disheveled: "Kid, are you looking for trouble?"

"How is this trouble?" Lin Xiaosu said, "Senior, I told her that your separation from her was not because you abandoned her after starting a relationship, but because the sect was in trouble and you didn't want her to be dragged down. She was so moved that she withdrew from Luohua Nunnery and her beautiful hair has grown back. If it weren't for the fact that those who uphold the Dao cannot enter this place, the person standing in front of you today would probably not be me, but her."

thumping!
The wine bottle in Gu Jianyouchen's hand suddenly shattered.

The shattered bottle and half-empty bottle remained suspended in mid-air, bewildered: "You...you saw her?"

"It's not just her, there's another person, you've actually met them before, they're someone very special to you."

"Who?"

"Your daughter, Feng Ji!"

The shards of glass floating in the void in front of Gu Jianyouchen crashed to the ground.

His lips trembled slightly: "My daughter?"

Lin Xiaosu said, "That day, you said she had a reincarnation bloodline that you were very familiar with, and you even taught her a move called 'Blooming of the Other Shore Flower.' Father-in-law, you must believe that there is a destiny in the dark. The familiarity you sensed was truly familiar. The move you taught her was her mother's most prized move..."

Gu Jianyouchen stared at him blankly: "Kid, what...what did you call me?"

“Father-in-law, this was truly a twist of fate. I really didn’t have this idea originally. It was your reminder that day, that you reminded me to ask her for a drop of blood to unlock the laws of reincarnation and thus comprehend the blooming of the other shore flower. I will follow your arrangements… so, this…”

Bang!
Lone Sword Dust slapped himself across the face.

His mouth is crooked.

You bastard! You shameless scoundrel!

Who knew that this woman was their own daughter that day?

Was it too much for him to ask this seemingly congenial young man to take a drop of his senior sister's blood? At first, it was none of his business. Now he realizes that his prank has harmed his own daughter…

"Father-in-law..."

"Don't call me father-in-law. I... I treat you like a brother. What do you take me for?" Gu Jian You Chen said angrily.

"I...I'm innocent, Father-in-law! This was all your doing!"

Snapped!
Another slap, still aimed at his own face.

“Father-in-law, Feng Ji carries the Samsara True Seal.”

Lone Sword with Dust suddenly looked up...

“Father-in-law should know that the Samsara True Seal has the potential to nurture the Samsara Dao Seal. The Samsara Gate is no longer one of the Six Paths and has fallen to one of the Nine Gates because it lacks the Dao Seal. Therefore, Mother-in-law has returned to the Samsara Gate from the Great Wilderness and Jiangnan under the cover of night to protect her daughter’s path. She once told her son-in-law, ‘Our family is one path. Whether it’s three thousand years or a million years, not one of us can be missing!’”

The light in Gu Jian Youchen's eyes shone brightly.

This light, perhaps, can be called the light of hope.

"The Samsara True Seal was born out of regret. Of her three Samsara True Seals, one has already been eliminated because of my appearance. Although I don't know what the remaining two regrets are, I dare to guess that one of them must have been left for you!"

"for me?"

"Because she entered this world to find her father, but she never found him and her body turned to bones. Father-in-law, think about it, what was her deepest regret?"

"Father and daughter were unable to recognize each other!"

“So, Father-in-law, although the scenery on Two Realms Mountain is beautiful, the mortal world is ultimately your final destination,” Lin Xiaosu said.

Lone Sword Dust sighed deeply: "You foolish brat, do you really think I'm unwilling to part with the scenery of Two Realms Mountain? I've already transformed myself into an array, how can I leave?"

Lin Xiaosu said, "Father-in-law, you can sever the three corpses, but you can't sever the ties of a lifetime?"

"Slay?" asked Lone Sword Dust.

“Father-in-law, the times have changed drastically. The Zhou Tian Grand Array that the Array Sect built back then did indeed form a defensive line for that world and all living beings, protecting countless generations. However, now that the Zhou Tian Grand Array outside has been broken, this array is actually meaningless. What protects living beings is no longer seclusion and isolation, but open and honest fighting. It’s time to let it go!”

"Let go...let go...let go of Father's heavy responsibility, let go of the city built with the blood and flesh of the 100,000 disciples of the Array Sect..."

"Lone Sword with Dust," he murmured.

"Sometimes, what we let go of are just the ties. The true wish of the ancestors of the Array Sect is actually to pass on the legacy. What we pass on is not the gains and losses of a city or a place, but the continuation of bloodlines, the continuation of kinship, the continuation of humanity. The struggle will still exist, in every day of our lives!"

Gu Jian Youchen looked up at the sky and gazed at the floating clouds for a long, long time. Finally, he slowly lowered his head and said, "Little Su, you are the only successor of the Array Sect. There is something you cannot miss: your primordial spirit enters my abode!"

"it is good!"

Lin Xiaosu's primordial spirit entered Gu Jian Youchen's sea of ​​consciousness.

His consciousness spread out, and he saw another grand array diagram of the Zhou Tian formation...

Half an hour later, the primordial spirit withdrew.

"You've written it down?"

"I've got it!" Lin Xiaosu said. "Father-in-law, your strike targeted the formation itself, didn't it?"

Lone Sword Dust has already transformed into an array, which can be considered an array body. If he cannot abandon this body, he cannot leave the Two Realms Mountain. Now, if he wants to leave, he must imitate the method of severing the three corpses and sever this "acquired array body".

"Yes! This strike is tantamount to betraying one's master and ancestors. I hope that Father's spirit in heaven will not grieve for his rebellious son any longer..." His figure suddenly rose up, reaching out his hand in the air!

All the winds and clouds of Liangjie Mountain were swept away, and all the mountains and rivers were swept away, transforming into a stunning sword strike.

"cut!"

With a hiss, a deep ripple appeared on the horizon, and the two worlds of mountains were leveled into flat land.

Lone Sword Dust rose into the air: "Su'er, I'm off! Remember to buy me some good wine. If you don't bring wine when you arrive at the Reincarnation Gate, I, your father-in-law, will not allow you to enter!"

The wind rises, and people vanish.

The lone sword, with its dusty surface, broke through the barrier.

That's how the grand formation was destroyed.

However, the aftereffects of the great formation can last for a while, at least three to five years, and people from that side still won't be able to get here. Once the great formation completely dissipates, that will be a different story...

Which version?

If one can enter the world through the Way, the world will be in chaos. Who will care whether a dilapidated house with drafts on all four sides has walls or not?
Lin Xiaosu left Kuncang.

It was nearly sunset when Lin Xiaosu took out her phone, which she had kept in her inner space for almost a year. She glanced at the date: April 25th, March 22nd in the lunar calendar.

"Two closed-door training sessions easily took up two months. Time is starting to become worthless!" Lin Xiaosu sighed softly and strode towards a shopping mall.

There are shopping malls in Huiyan Town as well.

He gathered a bunch of daily necessities, the main focus being hundreds of cases of the purest vintage wine of this era. He didn't care whether the mall owner saw a ghost or not; with a flick of his finger, the entire pile of supplies vanished into thin air.

Then, Lin Xiaosu left the mall and took a single step that seemed to leap into the air.

It vanished without a trace amidst the astonished gazes of countless people.

In the sky, Lin Xiaosu stared at his phone. He had only realized some messages had come in when he was paying the bill...

Opening the messages, Ruolan had taken up many of them.

"miss you!"

"I didn't think of you this much before because I knew you were in this world, and maybe you would suddenly appear in front of me as the sun sets tonight. But now I know you are no longer in this world."

"There's no cell phone signal in that world, so you might not receive my message, but I still want to chat with you and tell you that the Phoenix City Detective Agency, which you founded, is waiting for you."

"It's getting cold, are you cold?"

"It's Chinese New Year, but I didn't go home this year. I spent it with Xi'er. We made your favorite braised eggplant..."

Each one spans a full year.

The most recent one is from three days ago.

"Honey, I'm here again. I didn't dare call you 'honey' before, but now I don't care anymore..."

Yes, no matter how many times Miao Ruolan made love to him, she never called him "husband." It wasn't that she didn't want to, but she always felt that there was someone in this world more suitable to call him that...

Lin Xiaosu tossed her phone into the inner space and took a few steps.

The next moment, he appeared at the entrance of the Fengcheng Detective Agency.

Inside the Fengcheng Detective Agency, Miao Ruolan and Zhou Xi sat on the sofa drinking tea.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, Miao Ruolan's gaze fell outside through the glass window, her hand trembled violently, and the teacup slipped from her grasp.

Zhou Xi reacted quickly, catching the fallen teacup in her hand. Her gaze followed Miao Ruolan's...

"what!"

Zhou Xi sprang to her feet and went to the door.

With a sudden pull, it was ripped open.

"Brother Lin! It really is you, you...you're back!" Zhou Xi's voice changed.

Lin Xiaosu smiled: "It's been almost a year since I last saw you, Xi'er, you've become even more beautiful."

Zhou Xi blushed: "You should praise Sister Lan instead, Sister Lan is prettier, look..."

Miao Ruolan stood by the coffee table, seemingly stunned, but the blush on her face and the excitement in her eyes were truly moving.

That night, Zhou Xi went to Li Fang's place.

The two joked quite wildly, mostly focusing on one point: since Brother Lin is a cultivator, he must be exceptionally skilled in that area, and they wondered if Sister Ruolan could handle it alone, and if she needed help...

That night, Ruolan went a little crazy, and mosaic tiles were laid from the stairs into the room.

Leaving aside the details, the next morning, when she was walking down the stairs holding onto the handrail, she blushed and her heart raced when she saw strangers passing by outside.

Lin Xiaosu, who had done all this, hugged and kissed her for a while: "Ruolan, I'm going home to visit today. Tomorrow, I have to leave again!" (End of Chapter)
