The stolen magic is a bit magical

"Wait until... you truly know what kind of person I am, until everything about me is presented to you," Lin Xiaosu said. "At that time, you will have the opportunity to re-examine your choices."

"...I'll listen to you! I'll give you this choice the day you leave the Bridge Realm. Okay?"

"Okay!" Lin Xiaosu said, "Now you can leave, I think..."

"No! I'll lie down!" Li Xueyi gently raised her hand and grasped his lips.

She lay quietly in his arms, through the sheets.

Lin Xiaosu turned her gaze to the window, her all-seeing eye fixed on the section of the lake embankment shrouded in mist outside...

That section of the lake embankment.

Three ancient trees.

The ancient tree has thick roots and strong branches, but few leaves.

Occasionally, a few flakes would flutter down, half landing on this lake and half on the lava lake.

Those that fall into the lava lake will catch fire and burn; those that fall into this lake will be carried away by the water.

Beneath the tree, a noblewoman watched the leaves drifting down and sighed softly: "Leaves from the same tree, different choices lead to different results."

Beside her, Li Qiangu chuckled softly: "Madam, are you still bothered by his bloodline?"

These two are the true rulers of the Li people.

Clan leader Li Qiangu and his wife.

Li Xueyi's parents.

The lady nodded: "Xueyi's bloodline is the most authentic. At first glance, there might really be hope to open a completely new door and interact with a secondary bloodline. The high hopes we placed on her have been dashed."

She mentioned two terms: initial encounter and secondary bloodline connection.

It refers to a reproductive code of an alien race from the subterranean world.

The subterranean races all possess ancient bloodlines.

The only difference lies in the purity of the bloodline.

The propagation of bloodlines is a profound mystery that no one can understand. In every generation, there are a few people who exhibit atavistic behaviors.

This kind of atavism is something that all the alien races dream of, and Li Xueyi is someone who clearly exhibits atavism.

Her golden bloodline is even purer than that of her parents.

Therefore, she was given high expectations from a young age.

Hopefully, through their initial encounter, she can open the long-sealed door to the alien race in the Earth's core.

What does "initial encounter" mean?

People who exhibit atavism associate with each other.

Why did they choose Er Dongcheng from the Long-Eared Tribe?
Because Er Dongcheng also has some atavistic characteristics.

When two people who have reverted to their ancestral ways meet, it is called the initial encounter.

The Li Tian Clan, on the other hand, is a mixed breed; he doesn't have primary bloodline, but rather secondary bloodline.

No matter how amazing this "Young Master Su" is, his bloodline is destined not to be that of a newborn.

If Li Xueyi were to grant him this, then this rare and precious ancestral bloodline would be destined to be wasted.

This is the unresolved grievance in the lady's heart.

Actually, it's not just her.
The clan leader himself was also deeply troubled.

However, being a man, he was more open-minded and smiled gently: "Life is fleeting, like grass in autumn. There are no responsibilities that must be borne by future generations. The initial return to one's ancestral origins is just a legend, and the probability of it being realized is almost negligible. There's no need to get caught up in a legend."

“What my husband says is very true… Actually, I have another dream.”

"what?"

"If she had found a legitimate human, perhaps her offspring would have had an even more miraculous bloodline."

"To propagate another branch of Li Tian?" Li Qiangu asked.

"Yes, the Li Tian clan is originally an alliance between the Li and human races. However, their ancestor's bloodline was not pure. If she were to unite with the human race, the new generation of Li Tian born might be the true 'Li Tian' recorded in ancient books."

Li Qiangu laughed: "Your idea might have been a good one ten thousand years ago, but it's absolutely impossible today! The human race and the earth race are mortal enemies. If a human were to enter the Bridge Realm, they would only be a traitor to the human race. My Li clan can accept inferior bloodlines, but we will never accept inferior character. At that time, it won't be you opposing this marriage, but me!"

"In this world, things rarely go as planned!" the lady sighed sadly.

"Yes, let's just make do. Imperfection might be a kind of beauty..."

The two drifted away.

In the underground world, there is no distinction between day and night.

It's true that a day really does pass in the blink of an eye.

When Lin Xiaosu opened his eyes again, he felt that another day had passed, and history had probably turned a new page.

It seems so from any perspective.

The Li people have turned a new page.

And he himself seems to be the same.

He had never before been lying in bed with a beautiful woman lying on top of him, with clothes and sheets separating them.

Blue Fairy, you really should come and see.

If you saw this scene, you would definitely think that Mr. Lin is a gentleman.

In fact, Comrade Xiaolin's relationship with upright gentlemen is probably similar to that of Li Bai and Wang Jibai—what kind of relationship? None at all!
He didn't harm Li Xueyi.

Aside from not daring to, it's probably just that they can't bear to.

He said he dared not because he dared not reveal his human identity—the entire Bridge Realm and the alien races from the Earth's core were enemies of the human race. If he dared to reveal this trump card, even if he grew eight pairs of wings, he probably wouldn't be able to escape the Bridge Realm.

He couldn't bear to say he couldn't, but he still wasn't used to using women as tools, especially women who clearly had feelings for him and could fall asleep in his arms.

Even if they're not human!
Lin Xiaosu didn't disturb her. In his mind's eye, he began to do something he had wanted to do for a long time, but never had the chance to...

That is the integration of the last of the five elements.

Of the five elements, the Earthly Beast contributed the Earth element. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the Silver Mountain Wolf from Liulin Temple contributed the Metal element.

Kun Cang made a small gamble and won the water system.

On the shore of Tashan Lake, the Holy Maiden of a Thousand Spirits offered a single flower, dedicating herself to the Wood element.

The five elements are only missing the last one: the fire element.

Fire-type monsters are rarely seen on the surface, but they are most abundant underground.

Even a lava lake contains fire-type monsters.

That was the thing he gambled with the young chieftain of the Long-Eared Clan...

Red scales.

He has five Crimson Scales in his secret realm.

The secret realm is a very special space. There is no oxygen inside, and any fresh food that enters will not rot or spoil, no matter how long it takes. Even if the outside temperature is so high that the food caught by the Red Scales would smell bad in half a day, it will always remain fresh.

With a thought, Lin Xiaosu channeled her true energy into a sword, severing the head of a crimson scale, inside which lay a crimson Yuan Crystal.

This elemental crystal is a fire-attribute elemental crystal. Without it, Crimson Scale would have no chance of surviving in the magma.

The crystal was sent into the inner wall of the space, and the familiar process began.

The spatial turbulence shattered, transforming into a stream of pure energy that entered his meridians...

Upon entering, his internal energy changed.

When the five elements come together, life continues endlessly.

The Blood Tower changed, and the fourth drop of Heavenly Star Tear appeared out of nowhere and fell in the blink of an eye. This fallen Heavenly Star rose into the air and entered the secret realm space for storage.

The Heavenly Star of Flesh has been formed once more.

Moreover, in just half an hour, the fleshy celestial star dripped down, dispersed, and merged into his entire body. The blood tower, with its five elements gathered, acted like a flawless and precise instrument, rapidly transporting this fleshy celestial star throughout his body. His internal organs and skin seemed to be cheering and strengthening in sync at this moment.

Even more incredibly, as the Five Elements True Qi circulated throughout the body, the most difficult-to-form Bone Star also began to form, and the rate of formation far exceeded that of the past.

It's important to know that Lin Xiaosu spent three days and three nights walking along the riverbank before finally managing to form the first Bone Star, a feat that required immense effort.

But now, it seems to have come naturally.

The Five Elements are not actually four elements plus one!
The Five Elements represent completeness!

The perfect true energy and the flawless blood tower seemed to be in high-frequency connection with the original setting of his cultivation technique, truly demonstrating the endless cycle of life...

At this rate, seeing the heavens is within reach.

In at most six months, he will be able to shine like nine stars in the sky and truly break through to the realm of clairvoyance.

Once he breaks through to the Heavenly Realm, his true energy can be released outwards. His strongest and most beautiful sword move, "Tears of Parting," will break free from the shackles of the pool and enter a state of complete freedom.

Are the enemies of this world not subject to life and death?

Even if he is not an enemy of the world, even in the Bridge Realm or Kun Cang, he can probably be invincible below the four realms!

Just then, the gate to Qingwan Courtyard opened.

Li Feiyang strode in.

Jiu'er stepped forward to meet her.

Li Feiyang asked, "Where is Young Master Su?"

"sleeping."

"Looks like you drank too much last night!" Li Feiyang laughed. "Where's your young lady?"

"Sleep with the young master!"

Li Feiyang's eyes widened instantly.

Lin Xiaosu, lying on the bed, had extraordinary senses. Hearing the conversation ten feet away, she slapped herself on the forehead.

Li Xueyi, who was in his arms, woke up, opened her eyes, and her face was flushed.

"Did you hear what your girl said?" Lin Xiaosu asked her.

"Hmm..." Li Xueyi bit her lip: "I'm going to beat her up later!"

He sprang up and ran away.

The next moment, Lin Xiaosu also came out of the room. Li Feiyang was sitting in the red pavilion, holding a teacup and twirling it leisurely: "Brother, I didn't want to bother you at this time, but I have to leave. I may not be able to see you for a while, so I need to come and say goodbye."

"Where are you going?" Lin Xiaosu took the teacup that Jiu'er handed her.

Li Xueyi raised her eyes and stared at her brother, the blush on her face quietly fading away.

Li Feiyang said, "Youyuan!"

"Youyuan?"

Li Feiyang said, "Breaking the formation in Youyuan is a shared mission of all races in the Bridge Realm, connected to our ancestral clan. Our clan has prepared three thousand formation crystal pillars, plus three hundred people at the second level. Today, I will lead the team to send them to Youyuan."

Lin Xiaosu's heart skipped a beat.

The abyss...

That's where one of Kundi's ribs is located.

That is the gateway to the inner world of the earth.

All the tribes of the Bridge Realm share the common wish of breaking through this perilous formation and thus reconnecting with their ancestral clans.

Therefore, we have been working hard for thousands of years.

For these descendants of the Qiaojie people, this was a sacred matter. So, no matter how fiercely the various tribes of Qiaojie fought for resources and territory, they were unprecedentedly united on this matter.

Their consensus is that those with money should contribute money, and those with strength should contribute strength.

However, isn't there an old saying that goes something like this: "Your position determines your perspective"?

Different stances lead to different interests.

The positive energy emanating from all the races of the Bridge Realm is, in effect, a catastrophe for humanity! (End of Chapter)
