The stolen magic is a bit magical

What's this called?
This is called seizing control!
It was clearly his Yin Jiuyou who had made a pact with Lin Xiaosu, but now this senior brother has jumped out and become the one in charge.

And the reasons are quite valid.

At that time, Yin Jiuyou did indeed represent the concept of Yin and Yang.

This is now tied to Yang Jiulie.

Moreover, Yang Jiulie is the sect leader, which means that, on the surface, Yang Jiulie is Yin Jiuyou's superior.

This is also true.

In short, this minimizes Yin Jiuyou's presence.

How could Yin Jiuyou be willing?
However, he had no way to argue, because this was an open matter, and there must be rules for what is open.

Lin Xiaosu's face lit up with surprise: "Since the two abbots of your temple have reached a consensus, that's wonderful. How about we get to the point?"

"Young Master Lin is quick-witted and outspoken; I admire that style!" Yin Jiuyou smiled broadly. "Please sit down!"

The two should sit down on the platform.

"Life in the mountains is simple and frugal, with only a cup of tea. Please have some!" Yin Jiuyou raised his hand, and two cups of tea flew towards Lin Xiaosu and Feng Ji.

Feng Ji raised her slender hand, gracefully and delicately, and accepted it.

This exchange was like a phoenix spreading its wings, subtly carrying a hint of swordsmanship.

Lin Xiaosu didn't use any amazing moves. He simply tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and the cup of tea fell to the ground in front of his fingers.

That was a polite and refined gesture.

But this move also demonstrates his current level of cultivation.

Both abbots felt a slight stirring in their hearts.

Although there are many talented people in Kunming and Cangzhou, it is still rare to find someone so young with such attainments.

"Young Master Lin, please state your purpose!" Yang Jiulie said.

"My purpose in entering Kun Cang is to address a calamity in the outside world," Lin Xiaosu said. "I wish to request the two abbots of the Yin-Yang Temple, along with their accomplished disciples, to lend me a hand!"

"For matters concerning the outside world, seek advice from this temple!" Yang Jiulie said, "May I ask, young master, what price are you willing to pay?"

"What price does Abbot Yang want?"

"The Zhou Tian Formation and the Qiankun Breaking Formation Technique!"

That's getting straight to the point.

Lin Xiaosu hesitated slightly...

A mountain breeze blew by, carrying a faint sense of oppression.

Because everyone was very nervous.

Including Feng Ji.

She genuinely had no idea how Lin Xiaosu could possibly win over the Yin-Yang Temple.

If he can truly persuade the Yin-Yang Temple, the once closely connected three sects of Kun and Cang will be dismantled, which is crucial for the entire Kun and Cang ecosystem.

But how do you move them?
You must not be too honest.

Your array formations are a powerful tool for suppressing the three upper sects. If the three upper sects actually manage to take them, the outcome will be one-sided. They might soon be able to use your array formations to break through the outer sealing array and directly overturn the foundation you built.

She had already reminded him of these things.

She felt uneasy, but she couldn't warn them yet because the two people in front of her were both at the Enlightenment Realm, and specifically from the Daoist sect. The Daoist sect possessed many great supernatural powers, and even if she used telepathy, it might not be entirely safe.

Lin Xiaosu slowly raised her eyes: "The 'Zhou Tian Formation Method' is profound and extensive. The formations are divided into three parts: Zhou Tian, ​​Kong Tian, ​​and Xuan Tian. The Zhou Tian part only has the general outline and no detailed rules. The Kong Tian part is a collection of the achievements of many sages in the field of formations over thousands of years. It is a mixed bag, with some correct and some wrong, some divine and some demonic. Only the Xuan Tian part is suitable for teaching. However, the formations in the Xuan Tian part require corresponding elements. Otherwise, it will be more harmful than beneficial to cultivate them. I don't know which of the eight natures of Xuan Tian the formations inherited from Yin Yang Guan belongs to?"

Upon hearing these words, the hearts of the two abbots instantly raced.

They devoted their lives to studying formations, and their mastery of formations was truly at the level of grandmasters.

When others offer their opinions on strategy, they only need to utter a single sentence to know the depth of the opponent's understanding.

Lin Xiaosu began to explain, stating that the formation was divided into three parts: Zhou Kongtian and Xuan Tian.

It is incomparably high-end. Most people only know about Xuan Tian, ​​how many know about Kong Tian? But they do know about it. It is the Zhou Tian Formation, the highest level in the Dao of Formations, and it can even change the Dao of Heaven.

The Sky Array is a wild idea of ​​ancient sages of array theory, and has not been verified.

The Xuan Tian Formation pursues the ultimate refinement of the Dao of Formations.

Lin Xiaosu's interpretation of the Kongtian Formation was completely correct. The formations within were the wild and bizarre creations of generations of formation masters. No one knew what kind of aftereffects they might cause, so they were indeed not suitable for teaching.

The Zhou Tian Formation only has a general outline but no detailed rules, which is completely in line with the Dao of Heaven. The Dao of Formations needs to be in harmony with the Dao of Heaven. In places where the Dao of Heaven is incomplete, it is impossible to support a complete Zhou Tian Formation.

Therefore, whether one is idealistic or materialistic, one can accept that this world does not have a Zhou Tian formation, and even if it did, it would be forcibly erased by the Heavenly Dao.

In this way, the Xuan Tian Formation becomes the category of formations they can undertake.

However, what exactly are the Eight Natures of Xuantian?
The two Yin-Yang masters wanted to ask what the Eight Natures of Xuan Tian were, but they swallowed their words at the last minute.

Because with just one question, they would admit that their knowledge of array formations is shallow and they don't even understand basic common sense.

Who could accept this from a powerful figure in the Enlightenment Realm?
Yang Jiulie's eyes flashed: "Young Master Lin's mastery of array formations is extraordinary; he should be able to discern the characteristics of our sect's array formations at a glance."

Yin Jiuyou admired this senior brother to the extreme.

Regardless of how much I dislike my senior's other aspects, this answer deserves full marks.

They cleverly kicked the ball back.

It did not damage his reputation in the slightest.

Lin Xiaosu's gaze fell upon the valley below: "It resembles Wuji, and also Taiji... Without entering the formation, it's difficult to make a definitive judgment. May I enter and observe?" "This Array Valley is composed of eight interconnected arrays, creating wondrous landscapes throughout the four seasons. It was originally intended as a place to receive distinguished guests and talented individuals!" Yang Jiulie smiled: "If you are interested, young master, that would be wonderful. Please!"

"Two abbots, please!"

Yang Jiu flicked his finger lightly, as if opening a door.

A passageway appeared before them.

As you walk along this path, the surrounding scenery changes completely in an instant.

A bluestone path, fragrant with blooming flowers.

The Path of Flowers in Spring.

Lin Xiaosu took a deep breath of the fragrance and praised, "A single path leads to a wondrous realm, and a hundred flowers dispel worries. Master Yang's array formation method is truly extraordinary."

Yang Jiulie smiled and asked, "Young Master Lin, can you tell what kind of nature it is?"

"Let me think about it!" Lin Xiaosu pointed her finger at a tree on the east side.

Upon hearing this gesture, the Yin-Yang Masters exchanged a glance and were both shaken.

This location is precisely the key point of this Four Seasons Formation.

All the great enlightenment realms of Kun Cang have entered this formation, but who can see the core of the formation at a glance?

And he was the only one!
After a moment, Lin Xiaosu looked up: "Taiji is the main force, with Wuji as its auxiliary force, but I observe that there seems to be a change in the formation ahead."

As soon as he finished speaking, he took a step, and with that step, the scenery before him changed completely.

A river of clear water flows eastward, an old willow tree sways by the water's edge, fireflies dance, and a gentle breeze blows—what a beautiful scene of midsummer!

Lin Xiaosu pointed a finger at the base of the old willow tree and smiled: "Indeed, this formation is based on Wuji and supplemented by Taiji. The two abbots are proficient in the transformation of formations. I admire them!"

This display of admiration made the abbot of the Yin-Yang Temple, who had lived for a thousand years, feel a little embarrassed.

Are they experts in formations?
They didn't even really understand what formations were.

This Four Seasons Grand Array was actually obtained from the ruins of Chaotic Cloud Heaven. If there is any mystery to this array, it is the work of the predecessors who left it behind. They simply copied it...

While struggling with her thoughts, Lin Xiaosu had already entered the third season.

The autumn moon hangs high in the sky, fallen leaves rustle in the breeze, the sky is high and the earth is vast, and one feels carefree and spirited.

As usual, he pointed to a stone wall, nodded slightly, and took another step.

With this step, the surrounding fields were frozen solid.

Snowflakes were falling heavily.

Lin Xiaosu stood in the heavy snow, gazing at the sky with surprise on her face.

Yang Jiulie smiled slightly: "Why doesn't Young Master Lin point out the location of the array's core?"

That statement was somewhat provocative.

In the previous three transformations, Lin Xiaosu had pinpointed the key to the formation with a single finger, but in this Winter Formation, he did not make a move.

The two abbots felt intuitively that they had finally reached the boundary of Lin Xiaozhe's array—he would not be able to find the array eye of the Winter Array so easily after all.

Lin Xiaosu sighed: "This formation is truly unfathomable. It is high-level and perfect, with endless artistic conception, demonstrating the wonder of the formation. However, it just happens to be an unnecessary addition."

"Adding legs to a snake?" Yin Jiuyou was slightly taken aback.

"Yes, this formation is a standard 'Heavenly Secret' formation, and it has already concealed the formation's core in the void, achieving an extremely high level of formation mastery. However, it's like adding a snake to a snake by creating a heavy snowfall! With the snow falling, the hidden formation's core is completely exposed!" Lin Xiaosu sighed, "From this, it's clear that the senior who created this formation wasn't necessarily that brilliant!"

He gently lifted his finger and pointed it into the air.

In the void, a snowflake landed on his fingertip, and the surrounding snow suddenly stopped completely, hanging in the void.

Upon seeing such a bizarre scene, Feng Ji's eyes lit up.

She knew absolutely nothing about formations.

However, she also knew that Lin Xiaosu's array skills were truly superb.

Yang Jiulie's expression changed.

It became very thorough.

The Four Seasons Formation, especially the Winter Formation, is what he has studied the most. The spectacular sight of the formation with heavy snow is the highest manifestation of his mastery of formations in his life. He improved the ancient formation to make winter more like winter.

This earned him widespread praise from all the enlightened beings in Kun Cang.

However, his most prized masterpiece was seen by Lin Xiaosu as "adding legs to a snake"!
The original Winter Array was high-level and perfect. He spent his entire life energy integrating his life's cultivation of array formations, but the heavy snow he added became a flaw.

And he kept his word.

Because the snow exposed the key point of the formation, which he pinpointed with a single finger!
How could Yang Jiulie save face if he said it to his face?

Lin Xiaosu slowly turned around, a mysterious expression on his face: "Master Yang's expression is a bit strange. Is it because he has torn off your pretentious veil and exposed your shallowness and ignorance?"

As soon as these words came out...

Feng Ji's heart skipped a beat!
Yin Jiuyou's heart skipped a beat!
Yang Jiulie suddenly raised his eyes...

Provoke him to his face!

This kid was initially obsequious, then became arrogant...

"What did you say?" Yang Jiulie asked in a low voice.

"My impressions of the two abbots of the Yin and Yang Temples are not the same. The Yin abbot wanted to be my enemy, but I persuaded him to turn back with a single word. He was very sensible, which led to our subsequent interactions. And you? Yang abbot! In the decisive battle to seal off Kun Cang, you appeared opposite me. On this matter of right and wrong, you made the wrong choice; you have actually cut off your own escape route!" (End of Chapter)
