The stolen magic is a bit magical

Chapter 742 Journey, Stop 1: The Gate of Wheels

As soon as those four words were uttered, the Grand Elder's eyes suddenly went vacant...

The next moment, he slowly blinked, picked up the Kundi Lamp beside him, wrapped it in the Void Ancient Box, put it away, and turned to face the long night...

Changye watched him quietly.

"What Da Huang said can indeed be quite unsettling, but Chang Ye, don't take it to heart. He's an evil bastard by nature; if he didn't exude evil, he wouldn't be called the Evil Ancestor of Zhou Tian!" the Grand Elder said. "Next, you will go to three secret realms. Theoretically, after traversing these three realms, your path of poison will be ready for mastery!"

Great joy in the long night!

She possessed the Body of Ten Thousand Poisons, an extremely unique physique. Upon entering the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, she should have progressed rapidly, and indeed, she showed signs of doing so. However, Li Xinyu ultimately did not fully trust her, and the best cultivation resources were never truly opened to her.

Now, both key figures in front of me have been replaced.

What resources are undesirable?
Go now!
Time was tight and the task was heavy, but the most important thing was that she really didn't dare to stay with the Grand Elder for too long.

Within this three-thousand-year-old body lies the primordial spirit of her lover.

She felt it was strange to even glance at it...

It was all caused by that one sentence from Zhou Tian Xie Zu. That guy is truly wicked...

Changye left the secret chamber with the Grand Elder's token.

The two were left looking at each other.

"Hey kid, Li Xinyu's in pretty good shape. How about a round?"

"Damn it! Big Yellow, do you have any bottom line? How could you do something so disgusting?" Lin Xiaosu said.

"Otherwise, what should we do?"

"What are we doing... Let's familiarize ourselves with the situation of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect first. At most, it will take a month before we launch a full-scale attack on the Heart Sect!"

"Start a war directly? That doesn't seem to be very technically advanced, and it doesn't quite fit your style of surprise attacks."

Lin Xiaosu said, "Of course it doesn't match, but it's the best way to send the experts of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect to the guillotine."

The Evil Ancestor raised his eyes and sighed, "After taking over the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, instead of thinking about making it bigger and stronger and creating a new world, you're thinking about sending its disciples to the executioner's block. Kid, people call me the Evil Ancestor. In my opinion, you're quite wicked too. You might be able to inherit my mantle in the future!"

In the desolate capital, the moon shines brightly in the sky.

Inside the gauze pavilion, Lin Xiaosu held up her teacup and smiled gently.

Xiao Qing's heart skipped a beat as well.

Why is the prince smiling at me?

And that smile is so... intriguing?

Could it be that the prince has developed lustful thoughts?
However, after smiling, Lin Xiaosu stood up and said, "Xiaoqing, I need to leave the manor for a while. Tell the steward!"

"Your Highness, where...where are you going?"

"The world is vast and boundless, I will go my own way! I'm off!" With a stomp of his foot, he soared into the air and vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye.

The matter of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect has been resolved.

The real drama that follows is left to that clone to slowly torment.

Lin Xiaosu temporarily severed the connection with this clone to avoid interference.

What his true self needs to do is something he has been looking forward to ever since he stepped into this world...

He wants to travel this world.

He wanted to see his former comrades-in-arms.

He also wants to use this journey to complete the final three links of his path...

The law of cause and effect, the law of reincarnation, the law of yin and yang...

Of the seven laws of the Heavenly Dao, only these three are missing from achieving the Dao Fruit.

Once he can send these three laws into the Dao Fruit Realm, he will be able to truly wield the Dao.

The attachment based on laws is called true attachment, and true attachment can resist the other two attachments.

So, what is the attachment based on the Seven Laws of Heaven called?
Is it a combination of seven "true obsessions"?
Haha, can they withstand the three-way rule?
As long as he can withstand the pressure from the top three, he will have the prerequisite to compete with the highest level of this world.

That will allow us to begin the final chapter.

First stop: the Gate of Reincarnation!
The Reincarnation Gate is located in the Western Regions.

It is a million miles away from the desolate capital.

Lin Xiaosu walked step by step, using the Yin-Yang Step technique.

Gradually, the Yin-Yang Steps began to change...

The spatial features became more and more obvious, and the speed of travel increased. At first, he covered a hundred miles in one step, then three hundred miles in one step, and by dusk the next day, he covered a thousand miles in one step!
This step is the fusion of the laws of space and the laws of yin and yang.

It truly showcases the characteristics of a grand array of heavens and the nine netherworlds, penetrating in one step.

He stopped walking.

Because we have arrived at our destination.

The Gate of Reincarnation is located just below the cliff in front of us.

A gigantic, unparalleled spider lily blooms on a cliff, its branches deeply embedded below, its petals blossoming amidst the flickering stars—this is the symbol of the Gate of Reincarnation.

Beneath the red spider lilies, it resembles the deepest hell, or perhaps an unfathomable galaxy.

The Reincarnation Gate is the number one gate among the nine gates.

Because it was originally the Way, even a starved camel is still bigger than a horse...

To enter the Gate of Reincarnation, you need to throw something down the cliff—either a precious artifact or a letter/document.

Once the people inside accept you, you can enter.

However, whether the people inside would accept it or not was uncertain. As a result, nine out of ten visitors threw in their treasures, which disappeared without a trace, essentially giving the Reincarnation Gate a free "tribute".

Lin Xiaosu saw several people there, devoutly throwing their treasures off the cliff, and sighed: The Samsara Sect doesn't even need to say a word, just waiting for others to throw their treasures into the sect. Isn't this a sect's money-making technique?
A quarter of an hour passed...

The group of people in front, their faces full of anticipation, were finally blown away by the mountain wind.

They kowtowed on the cliff and turned away.

No one dared to utter a harsh word. The fact that the Gate of Reincarnation wouldn't open only meant that what they offered hadn't moved the recipient. If the gifts weren't enough, they'd have to go home and sell their house to raise more...

As they turned around, Lin Xiaosu appeared on the cliff.

The group of people behind him stopped and stared at him.

This kid's clothes look ordinary, and he doesn't seem to have any extraordinary treasures. What could he possibly have to offer as tribute to the Samsara Sect?
With a slight movement of his hand, a soft strand of hair appeared at his fingertips.

Everyone's eyes widened.

This……

Is this a joke?
A single hair? Are you kidding me?
Aren't you afraid...?

However, with a gentle rub of his fingertips, Lin Xiaosu suddenly opened a portal in the void in front of him, and a red spider lily branch extended to his feet.

Lin Xiaosu stepped onto the gate, the spider lily branch shrank, and he entered the cycle of reincarnation.

"My God, what does this mean?" someone exclaimed.

"I can see it clearly, it's just a single hair!" someone exclaimed.

“We can open doors with hair, let’s give it a try!” One person reached out and grabbed a strand of his hair, not just one, but at least a dozen.

Hair fell from their hands, drifting down...

One, two...

There are indications that this group of people will likely all end up bald.

Of course, there are also indications that even if they become bald, they will not be able to open the reincarnation channel.

Because Lin Xiaosu's hair is different from others.

This is Du Yuexin's hair.

It was a message left to him by this legendary holy woman.

At the end of the red spider lily, a person stands at the base of the flower, smiling broadly; it is none other than Du Yuexin.

"Mother-in-law!" Lin Xiaosu bowed deeply.

“Look over there…” Du Yuexin gently raised her hand.

Lin Xiaosu's gaze followed her fingertip as it lifted, and she saw... a person!

A person who seems familiar yet is vastly different from the one in my memory.

A lone sword, covered in dust!

The Lone Sword Youchen at this moment is completely different from the Lone Sword Youchen on Liangjie Mountain that day.

On that day, half of his body was buried in the ground—note: this is not an adjective.

He was disheveled and filthy, barely resembling a human.

Today, Gu Jian You Chen's hair is neatly combed, his short beard is half an inch long and exquisitely flawless, his face shows no signs of hardship, and his figure is as straight as a sword.

His entire being exudes the combined characteristics of a peerless swordsman and a scholar in white robes.

He and the gentle and graceful Du Yuexin perfectly embody the image of a chivalrous couple in the martial arts world.

"Father-in-law!" Lin Xiaosu smiled happily, "Following your instructions, I have purchased a large quantity of wine for you, all of it is Chuxiangchun from my hometown!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a hundred bottles of wine were laid out in front of Lone Sword Dust.

Gu Jian You Chen beamed with joy: "Good lad, you've put your heart into it."

"I dare not be careless. My father-in-law made it clear that day that if I didn't bring enough local wine, you wouldn't even let me in the door."

Gu Jian Youchen's face hardened: "So, you finally put some effort into your father-in-law, but I, your father-in-law, am being disrespectful and forcing you to fulfill your filial duties?"

"that is!"

“Moon, look at this…” Lone Sword Youchen shook his head and sighed, “Our daughter’s wandering the martial world, what kind of jerk has she found…” Hehe…

Du Yuexin laughed: "I told you, when Su'er went to Jiangnan, no matter whether she faced a powerful local magnate, a great scholar, or a bigwig in the officialdom, as long as she opened her mouth to argue, the other party would be humiliated! Why did you have to argue with him? Su'er, come into Fengyun Pavilion, you two have a good drink together."

"Where is Feng Ji?" Lin Xiaosu looked around.

"Her situation is special and she shouldn't be exposed to the public. Right now, my husband and I are her guards in that valley. Don't rush. Have a drink with your father-in-law, and I'll arrange for you to meet her."

Lin Xiaosu understood.

Feng Ji is someone who has the potential to be born with the Reincarnation Dao Seal.

Her safety is crucial to the entire Cycle Gate.

The higher-ups clearly valued her highly, preventing her from meeting ordinary disciples, and her guardians were her biological parents.

Fengyun Pavilion is like being amidst wind and clouds.

Maids bustled about in the pavilion, and in a short while, the banquet was ready.

Vegetables are rare delicacies from the mountains, rare delicacies from the water, and rare delicacies from the roadside.

The wine was Chuxiangchun, brought by Lin Xiaosu.

Three cups of wine are poured, their aroma seemingly traversing through reincarnation...

Du Yuexin waved her hand gently, and all the maids left.

As Gu Jianyou held up his cup, the initial casualness and nonchalance vanished from his face, replaced by seriousness.

"Su'er, according to your mother-in-law, you're managing the Great Wilderness Court?"

"Yes!"

"How is it progressing?"

"It has now come to an end."

Gu Jian You Chen frowned slightly: "When you reach the end... will that emperor ultimately not tolerate you?"

"No! Father-in-law, you've misunderstood." Lin Xiaosu said, "In the Great Wilderness court, the emperor, prime minister, high-ranking officials, the Zhen Tian Pavilion, and even the military can all be used by me. The conquest of the Great Wilderness was successfully completed."

"It's done!" Du Yuexin exclaimed softly, "How could it have gone so smoothly?"

"The emperor changed twice along the way. The seventh prince, Hong Yun, whom I supported, escaped death and successfully ascended to the throne. The court has been thoroughly purged, and all dissenting voices have been eliminated. I have also spoken frankly with His Majesty. His Majesty promised that the three passages leading to the Great Xia border will be heavily guarded by the Zhen Tian Pavilion, and no one will be allowed to cross the border and take the Great Xia."

Lone Sword Dust was stunned.

Du Yuexin stopped breathing. After a long while, she finally exhaled and said, "To take the strength of an entire nation to help achieve such a great undertaking is unimaginable. Su'er actually accomplished it all by herself in just one year. This is probably unique in history."

Gu Jian You Chen also let out a soft sigh: "To take the strength of a nation to help achieve a great cause is indeed commendable and rare throughout history. However, Su'er... you need to know that the Great Wilderness Kingdom is just an ordinary country. If you want to rely on the strength of this country to protect that world, it is still a pipe dream."

“Yes, the Great Wilderness Kingdom doesn’t even have many Dao Masters. Relying on the strength of this one country to survive the cataclysmic calamity two years from now is just wishful thinking,” Lin Xiaosu said. “But Father-in-law, the Great Wilderness Kingdom’s role is not that of a resister.”

"Not the fighters? Then what are they?" Gu Jianyouchen stopped drinking from his cup.

Lin Xiaosu said, "The Great Wilderness Kingdom is a backyard garden that I built for the Great Xia Realm. It is a platform for the fusion of humanity and the way of heaven, nothing more!"

Du Yuexin and Gu Jianyouchen looked at each other in bewilderment...

"The Way of Humanity and the Way of Heaven intertwine..." Gu Jian Youchen said, "You didn't intend to completely seal off all the passages to that world? You even deliberately left a space for them to intertwine?"

"Defending against invaders is like preventing floods; it is better to guide than to block. The passage has been completed, and the seeds of cultivation have been sown. Blocking is impossible. Forcibly sealing it off will only lead to a closed-off country. In the long run, it will only make our Great Xia Kingdom stagnant in the face of the new wave of the times. Therefore, I have created this platform where humanity and the way of heaven intertwine, to create conditions for cultivation for the people of Great Xia and to make up for the shortcomings in cultivation."

Gu Jian Youchen was truly moved: "Even in the path of cultivation, you want to catch up?"

"Yes!"

"The Great Xia is a land in the end of Dharma, while the foundation of this world is often millions of years old. Is it even possible to catch up in this field?"

Lin Xiaosu said, "My father-in-law has lived in that world, but he may not understand its development history. At the beginning of the founding of Great Xia, its technology lagged far behind the West, resulting in a generational gap. However, our most outstanding race tightened its belt, set ambitious goals, united as one, and forged ahead one after another. In just a few decades, we have covered the development path that took others hundreds of years. Now, Great Xia's technology is superior to the rest of the world! We are never afraid of competition, and we are confident that we can win any challenge. All we need is time!"

"Unity of purpose and relentless pursuit! Although this is a very unfamiliar term in the path of cultivation, it is probably the charm of humanity!" Du Yuexin's eyes gleamed: "So what Su'er needs to do is simply to help them safely get through the initial growing pains before they are fully grown, is that right?"

“What my mother-in-law says is exactly what I have planned!”

Gu Jian Youchen slowly withdrew his gaze from the distant horizon: "Your path is completely different from the one taken by Emperor Kun a million years ago!"

“Yes, completely different!” Lin Xiaosu said, “Kun Di’s severing of the connection between heaven and earth is a form of blocking, while what I, your son-in-law, must do is to dredge! Blocking leads to a land of declining Dharma, while dredging may create a different world!”

"To open a path that no one has ever opened before is true heroism!" Gu Jian You Chen nodded slowly: "But Su'er, the difficulty of this path is also unparalleled."

"I understand!"

"In my youth I was known for my sword, and in my old age I have severed the formation, leaving only the sword. In my entire life, I have only one sword! And the only thing that can help you is probably this one sword!" He gently brought his fingers together, and a sword light descended from the sky, slashing behind him.

This slash opened up a new world of swords.

"You might as well venture into it. If you can draw inferences from it and develop your own swordsmanship, you will be able to achieve something in the battles against the great masters of this era!"

Lin Xiaosu's eyes flickered, but before she could speak, Du Yuexin spoke first: "Brother Chen, what's wrong with you? It will take Su'er at least ten years to comprehend this sword strike. How can he have that much time to waste? Su'er, don't listen to your father-in-law, listen to me. I will open a Reincarnation Dao Field for you and integrate my life's experience of reincarnation. With your comprehension, you may be able to enter the Dao Fruit in less than a year... Once you obtain the Dao Fruit, you can see Feng Ji through this path."

Lone Sword Dust's eyes bulged.

On a whim, he decided to give his son-in-law a comprehensive kendo lesson.

His wife jumped out and tried to take it from him.

Most importantly, he still had a hard time winning the fight.

Just as his wife said, his world of swordsmanship is something beyond the realm of swordsmanship, too profound. Without ten years, no one could possibly comprehend it. And yet, it's unlikely that he would miss the cataclysmic event two years from now...

The wife's path of reincarnation is different; she only focuses on the fruit of reincarnation.

With his unparalleled comprehension, he might really be able to succeed in less than a year, and his wife even added the line: Feng Ji is waiting for him over there.

My God, is this a case of husband and wife fighting over a child? Are they using their daughter as bait?

Lin Xiaosu looked at this, then at that…

"Ahem... I dare not refuse the kindness of my father-in-law and mother-in-law. Perhaps I should first follow my mother-in-law's directions and take a journey, and then take my father-in-law's route when I return?"

"Alright!" Gu Jianyouchen sat down, raised his hand, and gulped down a bottle of wine.

Du Yuexin smiled gently, and with a flick of her finger, a spider lily bloomed at her fingertip. As the spider lily opened, a gate to reincarnation opened in the void.

Lin Xiaosu stepped inside.

Du Yuexin turned to look at Gu Jian Youchen and chuckled, "Brother Chen, are you angry?"

“It’s not anger, just helplessness.” Gu Jian Youchen sighed softly, “Time is too tight. If we had twenty years, perhaps we could really see our son-in-law running rampant across the land. But unfortunately, we only have two years left. Given his character, by then, he absolutely cannot stand by and watch his homeland be ravaged. He…”

"Stop talking, Brother Chen! Don't say anything unlucky..." Du Yuexin gently interrupted, "For three thousand years, I have been fantasizing about a scene like today every moment, with my daughter and son-in-law in front of us, and you and I, just like before, on the long journey, through endless tribulations, our family, all together... Alas!"

She suddenly let out a gasp.

"what happened?"

Du Yuexin raised her hand, and a drop of dew on the spider lily at her fingertips reflected the scene of Lin Xiaosu on the path of reincarnation.

"The Flower of Reincarnation!" Du Yuexin's eyes widened. "When I parted ways with him, although he had already grasped the basics of the Law of Reincarnation, he had not yet formally formed a Dao Seed. In just half a year, he actually formed a Dao Seed, and then the Great Dao Flower bloomed. Is there really such a thing in the world?"

“In that case, his comprehension is even greater than we predicted…” Gu Jian Youchen’s eyes shone brightly: “He might be able to touch the Reincarnation Dao Fruit in just a few months?”

"The fastest record in history for entering the Dao Fruit from the Dao Flower stage is still set by Li Lun, the current Heavenly Gang of Cangyuan, in eight months! If he can enter the Dao Fruit stage within eight months, he will be a monument in the history of reincarnation!"

On the path of reincarnation, Lin Xiaosu seemed to have traversed a long journey.

The path ahead was the one where the seed of the Dao sprouted and the flower of the Dao bloomed. He was merely an observer, seemingly reviewing the basic system of reincarnation. The crises he encountered were nothing more than a passing breeze to him, because he had already reincarnated into the flower of the Dao. He easily traversed the path before the flower of the Dao.

In just half a day, he experienced the complete cycle of his mother-in-law's life, from the initial seed of enlightenment to the blossoming of the great path.

By stepping outside the cycle of reincarnation and looking at it from a different perspective, his understanding of the cycle of reincarnation shifted, seemingly filling a gap in his knowledge of the cycle of reincarnation.

Facing the last pool of reincarnation, he sat by the pool for seven days and seven nights!

Finally, he stood up and took a step forward!
To Lone Sword Dust, this step taken was nothing out of the ordinary.

But Du Yuexin suddenly stood up: "My God, seven days! Only seven days!"

With a loud boom, the wind and clouds on the Path of Reincarnation surged, a strange light flashed, and a crystal-clear Dao Fruit rose from between Lin Xiaosu's eyebrows. With a twist in the air, the wind and clouds on the Path of Reincarnation vanished!
Gu Jian You Chen's eyes widened: "Yue'er, it's done?"

"It's done! In just seven days, he reaped the Dao Fruit of Reincarnation. No one has ever done this before, and no one will ever do it again..." Du Yuexin murmured, "Why is this happening? Why?"

Lone Sword Dust laughed heartily: "Because I have discerning eyes! Back then, without knowing the girl's identity, I gave this lad a terrible idea, telling him to..."

His laughter stopped abruptly, as if he realized something was wrong...

A hand reached out from the side and grabbed his ear.

Du Yuexin gritted her teeth: "Now you admit it, huh? My son-in-law told me that you were the one who suggested he and my daughter take that step, and you still wouldn't admit it. Now you finally admit it, you bastard! I've never seen anyone betray their own daughter like this..."

The elderly couple were making a scene, but Lin Xiaosu was naturally unaware.

His mind was focused on a snow-white platform in front of him.

On the high platform, a graceful figure sat cross-legged.

His heart was filled with excitement.

The journey to Kunming and Cangzhou many years ago is still vivid in my mind at this moment.

His and her journeys through the martial world are vividly before my eyes.

The most vivid memory is still the battle against Haoyuan Sect on the third day of the third lunar month.

Faced with a master of enlightenment, the Yin-Yang Reversal Formation of the Sky could not be set up. Kun Cang Wujing and herself were both under the opponent's blade. She removed the mask she always wore, and two Reincarnation Seals shot into the sky, forcefully opening the Gate of Reincarnation...

That was her fatal blow.

That was the moment she risked her life.

She knew she was doomed, but she told him: "Husband, remember this face. If you ever encounter someone with this face in the martial world, never give up. Perhaps that 'she' is my reincarnation..."

Time flows, stars shift, and the world changes. In this other world, he and she finally meet again.

"Senior Sister!" a voice uttered softly.

On the high platform, Feng Ji suddenly opened her eyes and turned around abruptly.

Two pairs of eyes clashed through the void a hundred meters high. (End of Chapter)
