From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

"He's a henchman of the Demon Dragon!"

Xiaoyu looked puzzled. "He's been going against us the whole time we're searching for the talisman and sealing the demon! Shouldn't he be locked up for life?"

"Uh... our current laws don't yet cover the level of 'magical crimes'."

Blake was also helpless about this.

Even though District 13 is a secret department, it has no right to interfere with the law. At most, it can provide certain conveniences when it involves its own people.

"Looks like I'll have to develop comprehensive laws against magical crimes in the future," Xiaoyu remarked.

"It shouldn't be the Blade Dragon."

At this moment, the old man calmed down and shook his head. "He was a powerful dark magic wizard, but ever since I defeated him, the dark magic has gradually abandoned him, constantly flowing out of his body, causing his magic power to weaken day by day..."

Previously, the little demon dragon had caused such a commotion that it had absorbed 99% of the world's dark energy into its body...

Dao Long couldn't possibly find the remaining dark energy so quickly after his release from prison. Relying solely on the life force within his aged body to cast spells would only prematurely exhaust his lifespan.

After a moment of silence, the old man added, "But if he really uses Qi to cast spells, then he really has the ability to kidnap Santa Claus."

Qi is life force. Using life force as the source of magic, even a little bit can unleash very powerful magic.

Santa Claus possesses extremely powerful Qi, but he's not good at fighting. He also uses his Qi to create countless Christmas elves to assist him in his work… Daolong definitely wants to obtain Santa Claus's almost limitless Qi to gain a long lifespan!

# Chapter 911 Arctic - Christmas Factory

"Then what are we waiting for?"

Xiaoyu exclaimed, "Whoosh!" and "Let's go save Santa Claus!"

The real Santa Claus!

Xiaoyu was already extremely excited at the thought of having the chance to meet Santa Claus in person.

How do I get there?

The little snake asked with a smile, "It's quite a distance from here to the North Pole."

"I can't go."

Trudeau said, "My mom is coming to spend Christmas with me, and I have to pick her up from the airport later."

"Don't worry, Tru, I'll take care of your mother."

As the sheriff of District 13, Blake exuded confidence and stated that he frequently received strangers.

Tru: "..."

His mother is not a criminal.

"Mr. Jiang Liu, are we ready to set off?" the little elf asked Jiang Liu.

"Then let's set off."

As Jiang Liu nodded, the Christmas elf raised his arms, and white snowflakes were released from his palms, forming a snowflake tornado that enveloped everyone except Blake.

As the snowstorm subsided, the familiar antique shop was now covered in ice and snow, revealing:

The wind whistles and snowflakes drift, the snowflakes sway gently in the wind. A silver snake dances, winding its way through the river; a wax elephant gallops across the plains, soaring high.

The stars in the sky shone brightly, and the aurora borealis shone brilliantly at dawn. But the world was desolate and sparsely populated; when would the sun finally rise in the east?

The Christmas elf's magic was amazing; in no time, it led everyone from San Francisco to the Arctic.

Teleport?

It was thanks to the effect of the weekly weather pattern that such a long-distance teleportation was possible; otherwise, a single Pokémon wouldn't be able to withstand such a huge drain on its resources.

"Come with me, guys!"

The little elf called out and led the way, braving the wind and snow, and illuminated by starlight and the aurora, walking a hundred meters until they found the outside of a neon-lit factory.

That's Santa's Christmas gift factory.

"Ahh~"

Parker, who was weak, sneezed and asked, "Why not just teleport to the factory?"

"Feel sorry."

The sprite took a pill out of his pocket and tossed it into Puck's mouth. "This is a panacea made with magic; it can cure all diseases."

After Parker's complexion improved considerably, he explained, "I don't know what's wrong lately, but my teleportation magic isn't working very well. It always deviates from the selected target by a certain distance."

"deviation?"

The Bull Warrior asked, "Is it related to Santa Claus's kidnapping?"

"No."

The little elf shook his head, but he didn't know the specific reason.

But Jiang Liu understood that this was because the law of yin and yang balance was being corrected!

In other words, for the original mages and wizards of this world, if they do not "keep up with the times" by modifying the formulas of their magic or by cultivating their inner life force, their magic will gradually lose its effectiveness.

In theory, it is impossible to successfully perform spatial teleportation magic based on potions at this stage.

The reason this little Christmas elf was able to lead so many people through spatial teleportation is that he possessed his own internal energy field, which was connected to the surrounding energy field.

It was only because he hadn't realized that the weather bureau's sixteen divination symbols for the whole day had already started rotating again this week, and hadn't adjusted the magic for spatial teleportation, that the teleportation location would have an error of some distance from the fixed coordinates.

Boom boom boom!

Upon arriving at the factory gate, the little elf went up and knocked on the door.

The door opened.

A wave of warmth wafted over, making everyone feel much warmer.

The Christmas factory is not much different from the factories in ordinary industrial parks, with workers and assembly lines. However, the workers are all elves, and the items flowing on the assembly line are not singular. There are toys, food, tools, and even vehicles such as bicycles and motorcycles.

The factory also has a warm atmosphere, decorated everywhere with red and blue paper-cuts, ribbons, and colored lights, like a fairytale paradise.

However, the little elves are assembling different products on the same assembly line, which requires more than just mechanical movement; they also need to use their brains to avoid making mistakes.

For example, put food packaging stickers on toy parts.

If this happened in an outside factory, it would be considered blatant exploitation!

But in fact?

These little elves were all created by Santa Claus using his own Qi. Although they each have their own personalities, strictly speaking, they are the same as the myriad beings formed from the billions of thoughts within Jiang Liu's human body in the Three Realms. In essence, they can all be considered part of Santa Claus.

and so.

Even if Santa Claus is indeed exploiting the elves' labor, at its core, it's actually Santa Claus who is constantly squeezing out his own energy so that all good children in the world can receive their beloved gifts!

"Brothers, I've brought in reinforcements! We'll find Santa Claus soon!" the Christmas elf shouted to the other elves who were working hard.

"Great!"

The other little elves cheered.

Before they could enjoy their happiness for long, the little elf shouted at them, "Don't be lazy! Get to work! Santa Claus has to leave at seven o'clock tonight to deliver presents to children all over the world! We can't hold him back!"

Immediately, the other little elves hurried back to their posts to work.

Seeing this, Duanmu Ying nudged Jiang Liu's shoulder and asked with a grin, "Do you even put on airs of officialdom when it comes to the deity you've been appointed to?"

"I won't, but my physical body and spirit may not be able to help the other sentient beings who are still 'deluded' and mired in the mental realm of the human world."

Although his physical body is independent, it is also one with his spirit and soul. Why should they put on airs of officialdom?

Only those who have not yet cultivated true pure Yang will remain stubbornly deluded, trapped by fame and fortune, finding it difficult to be free, and constantly thinking about riding on the head of another version of themselves.

Once one awakens to the truth of spiritual practice and understands that all sentient beings are part of the flow of the river, one will then think about how to guide those who are still deluded.

Focusing solely on oneself, this path of cultivation has only one guiding principle:

Helping others is helping yourself.

Compared with many myths and legends in reality, this is probably the fundamental reason why immortals and Buddhas all have the attribute of becoming immortals or Buddhas, and why saints all want to enlighten the world.

The Path of the Golden Elixir and Sacred Embryo: On Purity and Tranquility—

The Hinayana path seeks nothing more than self-purification.

Mahayana Buddhism seeks the ultimate path, which is to purify all beings. It does not mean severing all thoughts and distractions that are like dreams and illusions, but rather that distractions are constantly generated and sent into the cycle of reincarnation, to be experienced in the human world. It is a path of practice without end.

at the moment.

The Christmas elf who brought them to the North Pole treated the other elves in the same way as someone who was "stubborn to the end".

Therefore, Jiang Liu really wanted to meet Santa Claus.

"Hello, is this the security department?"

At this moment, the Christmas elf took out another cell phone and dialed a number, "This is Kevin. We have found our backup. Once we find the location where Santa Claus was kidnapped, I will call you immediately."

Jiang Liu: "...I have to say, Santa Claus and the elves he created are quite avant-garde, actually able to keep up with the pace of scientific development."

It's clearly using magic, but it's presented with the appearance of modern technology, so it can definitely be called "magical technology"!

Isn't that avant-garde?

# Chapter 912 Working Only One Day a Year Isn't Easy (Part 1)

"Mr. Jiang Liu, can you help us find Santa Claus's location?"

The Christmas elf makes a request.

Jiang Liu, without hesitation, looked at Shi Yin with eyes like lotus blossoms, and in a single thought perceived the entire universe, thus determining Santa Claus's location:

Himalayas.

After determining the exact location, the Christmas elf did not immediately use his teleportation ability. Instead, he said to everyone, "We need a Santa Claus to deliver the presents to the children in advance, in case we are short of time."

"So, one of us needs to dress up as Santa Claus?" Xiaoyu immediately looked at Tru.
