Time Travel: I'm a Flower Thief

Thinking of this, Xie Xiaoyi bent his knees and knelt down on one knee directly in front of Xie Daoyun, clasping his hands in a fist salute:

"Thank you, senior! Please guide me on how to become stronger the fastest! I need to go to the Primordial Illusionary Realm immediately and bring my aunt back!"

Situ Rui turned around and hurriedly went to help him up, but he didn't budge. He couldn't help but secretly admire him: "His aura is calm and steady, and his cultivation level is hard to guess!"

"Indeed, he is as immovable as a mountain and as unpredictable as yin and yang. Has his cultivation reached such a high level at such a young age?"

Xie Daoyun simply looked at Xie Xiaoyi and said calmly, "There is no such thing as achieving success overnight on the path of martial arts."

Xie Xiaoyi frowned: "I can't wait! My aunt is in another world. Every moment she stays there is another moment of torment for me!"

"Senior, you have truly seen the secrets of heaven! Please tell me, how can I reach that level? No matter how bitter or difficult it is, I will accept it!"

This obsession reminded Xie Daoyun of Mei Xingyao.

He remained silent for a moment, then finally sighed softly:

"You... you're just like the people from back then. Get up and speak, I won't stop you from becoming stronger."

Xie Xiaoyi slowly got up, still staring intently at Xie Daoyun, his eyes full of urgency.

It turns out that my aunt wasn't completely gone, she didn't disappear from this world forever.

She is still alive, but separated from him by a world he can no longer reach.

He would do anything as long as there was a chance, as long as he could see her again, and as long as he could bring her back.

Xie Daoyun stood up, turned his back to him, and spoke eloquently: "If I'm not mistaken, you are now at the Moon Ruins Breaking Dust Realm."

To reach this level at your age is already far beyond what Mei Xingyao, the sword genius of his time.

However, if you want to break through the cave and step into the primordial chaos, your current strength is still far from sufficient.

But I can give you the fastest, most dangerous, and most suitable path for you.

Xie Xiaoyi was overjoyed: "Please speak, senior!"

Xie Dao turned around, looking at the unwavering determination in his eyes, his tone becoming slightly more serious:

"You are blessed with great opportunities. At such a young age, you have already entered the Moon Ruins Breaking Dust Realm. Your talent is exceptional and rarely seen in the world."

But you must understand that with your current foundation, further progress through ordinary cultivation has already reached its limit.

"Has this reached its limit?"

"Excellent!" Xie Daoyun stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes piercing.

"If you want to quickly improve your cultivation and possess the power to cleave through the void in the shortest time, there is only one path to take: prove your Dao through force."

Xie Xiaoyi muttered to himself, "Prove the Dao through force! How can one prove the Dao through force?"

Xie Daoyun stared at him and said firmly, "What you need to do is challenge all the top masters in the world."

"Senior, is challenging the top masters enough?"

"That's not enough. The challenge is secondary; what's needed is for you to become the best in the world!"

"Number one in the world...I want to become number one in the world?"

Xie Daoyun nodded: "In the martial world, the strong are respected. If you fight your way through and win every battle, you will be able to shatter all conventional wisdom."

When you sweep across the eight wastelands, ascend to the pinnacle of humanity, and become the true number one in the world, the martial arts destiny will naturally converge upon you.

At that time, you might be able to ascend to the heavens in one leap, touching the threshold of breaking through the primordial chaos and stepping into the primordial era.

Xie Xiaoyi was shocked, his blood surging in his chest.

This road is crazy and domineering, but it happens to hit his most urgent wish at this moment.

Xie Daoyun paused, then added the most crucial sentence:

"This is the fastest path, but also the most dangerous. If you lose, your Dao heart might be damaged, declining instead of rising. Do you dare to take it?"

Situ Rui was terrified.

Challenge the world's masters, become the number one in the world, compete for the destiny of martial arts, and ascend to the heavens in one step...

This is something no teenager could possibly do, right?

Xie Xiaoyi took a deep breath, his eyes showing no fear, but rather a clearer understanding:

"Senior, does becoming the number one in the world grant one the blessing of martial arts fortune? Then wouldn't the current number one in the world, Cui Juqing, already be..."

"no the same!"

Xie Daoyun shook his head and smiled, interrupting him: "Cui Juqing's status as the number one in the world was achieved through seclusion, arduous cultivation, and gradual accumulation, step by step."

He reached the pinnacle of self-cultivation; with such martial arts prowess, the path to becoming an Earth Immortal is likely his limit.

Xie Xiaoyi stared blankly at Xie Daoyun, his palms unconsciously sweating.

Xie Daoyun adjusted the divination tablet in front of him and continued:

"What I want you to do is to challenge the world with your sword, win every time you strike, prove your Dao with your sword, and make the world submit to you and the Heavenly Dao recognize you."

Only in this way will Heaven bestow true martial arts fortune upon you, helping you ascend to the heavens in one step.

Xie Xiaoyi understood: it wasn't about sitting and discussing theories, it was about going to war, about winning, about conquering all the swords in the world.

"Senior, I dare! Unless I die, sooner or later I will break through the primordial chaos and bring my aunt home!"

Xie Daoyun picked up his teacup and took a small sip: "Then, you should do the first thing."

Xie Xiaoyi's heart tightened, and he frowned, asking, "The first thing? Senior, do you want me to challenge a certain master?"

Xie Daoyun chuckled and shook his head slightly: "No, no! The first step is to have a sword that is truly worthy of you."

"You have no sword in your hand, no Dao in your heart, so what right do you have to talk about becoming a sword immortal, or cleaving through the void?"

Xie Xiaoyi was stunned: "A sword...aren't those things you can find anywhere?"

"The swords you speak of, which are everywhere, are nothing more than ordinary iron blades. They can cut people, but they cannot cut through time and space, much less cleave through the primordial illusion."

"What you mean, senpai, is..."

"The sword I speak of is the sword of the Dao, the sword of the heart, and the sword of destiny. If you wish to defeat all masters and pierce the void with your sword, you must wield a truly peerless sword."

"A peerless sword?"

Xie Daoyun nodded slightly: "That's right, it has a spirit, a soul, and the fortune of heaven and earth, and can break through realms and ascend to heaven with you."

Xie Xiaoyi's heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively asked, "Then...where can we find it? Does such a sword really exist in this world?"

Xie Daoyun put down his teacup and asked calmly, "Do you know where the best swords in the world come from?"

Xie Xiaoyi pondered for a moment before speaking: "If we are talking about the most hidden swords and the most famous swords, then it should be Yan Nangui, the master of the Famous Sword Manor."

If we're talking about the skill in sword forging and the origin of divine weapons, then it's the Sword Forging Manor, and its master, Ou Yezi, the world's foremost sword forging master.

"You're right, but the sword you're looking for is neither in the Famous Sword Manor nor the Sword Forging Manor."

"Where is it?"

"The capital city, the Forbidden City."

"The Forbidden City?"

Upon hearing this, Situ Rui was startled: "Master, is it the giant sword Kaitian, which has protected the country throughout the ages, located in the forbidden area of ​​the Imperial Ancestral Temple?"

"That's right, it's the creation of heaven and earth!"

"Senior, is there anything unusual about that Heaven-Opening Sword?"

Xie Daoyun smiled and began to explain: "The sword is over four feet long, and its blade is thick and heavy, weighing 108 jin."

It was forged during the founding of the Great Sheng Dynasty, intended to suppress the dragon energy of the Forbidden City. The Sword God Prince Jian once used it to slay the Ancestral Dragon!
