The stolen magic is a bit magical

Lin Xiaosu sat cross-legged!

He didn't move an inch that night.

However, a glint flashed in his eyes.

The boatman's parting tears, strictly speaking, were not quite right or wrong.

A seemingly similar but actually flawed "Tears of Parting" easily defeated his genuine "Tears of Parting," all because of one thing: the will of the sword!

The boatman's swordsmanship was at a high level, and he truly captured the essence of the poem "Tears of Parting".

What Lin Xiaosu needs to do is not to replicate his charm, but to develop her own charm.

Overnight, he was subtly moved.

The following evening, the misty rain of Jiangnan unfolded around him.

This was the first time in his life that he hadn't wielded his sword, but instead naturally blossomed amidst the misty rain of Jiangnan.

These flowers, in the twilight rain, look so desolate.

However, there was no regret of late spring when all the flowers withered and only one flower fell. In the drizzling rain, the flowers bloomed very beautifully and remained so, just like the real nature.

Outside the misty Jiangnan area, an old boatman held a wine pot in his hand, his eyes slightly narrowed.

The young man seemed to have grasped something. Next, he should focus on the essence of the matter and see what kind of masterpiece this "flower flies" can produce.
However, after waiting for a long time, Lin Xiaosu's "one flower flying" of parting tears never flew...

All night long.

He seemed to be gazing intently at the misty, rainy Jiangnan landscape he had created.

His footsteps traversed this land south of the Yangtze River.

It seems they are reluctant to destroy this wonderful place on earth.

Early morning!

The darkest time of day!
Suddenly, the wind rose and the clouds flew!
The ferocious beast roared, and the earth sank!
With a deafening roar, the land of Jiangnan, shrouded in mist and rain, was turned upside down. Crimson blossoms were swept into the mud, and the fierce wind carried away the last lotus flower...

The lotus flower flew towards the boatman.

The small boat beneath the boatman suddenly came to a stop, and all around him was the perfect misty, rainy landscape of Jiangnan.

Amidst the withering of all flowers, one petal takes flight.

The blue flower flew towards the withered flower that Lin Xiaosu had shot out.

With a loud bang, the two flowers shattered simultaneously, the fragments falling to the ground, all of them blue.

The boatman's expression changed: "Sword Intent Blue and White Porcelain!"

Lin Xiaosu laughed, and with that laugh, the enchanting scenery of Jiangnan in the misty rain vanished completely.

"Entering the blue-and-white porcelain in one day and two nights! This... how is this possible?" the boatman murmured.

"I observed your swordsmanship, senior, and empathized with the move 'Tears of Parting,' which triggered this profound mystery." Lin Xiaosu bowed slightly. "I am very grateful for your guidance, senior."

"Observing the way of the sword triggers profound mysteries, but how many people in the world can actually trigger these mysteries? Empathizing with the tears of parting... Young man, you were born in a peaceful and prosperous era, and have never witnessed the world's sorrow, so how can you empathize?"

Lin Xiaosu said, "In the past, time was indeed slow and peaceful, but the future is not hard to imagine... Thinking back to the days when tears flowed for those who parted, it will all come when the prosperity fades away."

"Thinking back to the day when tears flowed for those who parted, all that remains is the day when prosperity fades away!" The boatman sighed deeply, "Well said! Absolutely well said! Young man, let me tell you my true meaning."

This also fulfilled his promise to accept three swords and reveal his true intentions.

Now that Lin Xiaosu's swordsmanship has reached the level of Qinghua, and his sword strike is evenly matched with his, it can be considered that he has received three of his sword strikes.

However, Lin Xiaosu gently shook her head: "This junior still wants to talk to the senior in person."

The boatman's eyes widened: "You actually realized that I am not the real me?"

"Yes!"

The boatman sighed deeply: "What a genius!"

As soon as he sighed, he vanished into thin air.

It transformed into a wisp of sword energy.

With a whoosh, it shot up through the forest...

Lin Xiaosu moved her feet and followed the direction of the sword energy.

We are now at the summit of Liangjie Mountain.

Extremely dangerous.

Floating clouds drift by, and all around is silent.

Lin Xiaosu took three leaps and landed on the mountaintop.

At the top of the mountain, an old man sat cross-legged.

This old man looked exactly like the boatman, except that the boatman was sitting on a boat, while he was sitting on a rock on the mountaintop.

"Greetings, senior!" Lin Xiaosu bowed deeply.

The old man slowly opened his eyes: "My original intention was to make a deal, but you have put me in a very difficult position."

"Why?" Lin Xiaosu asked.

The old man said, “My original intention was to help you break into the blue and white porcelain realm, and use that as a bargaining chip to get you to do something for me. However, I didn’t actually help you break into the blue and white porcelain realm, so the bargaining chip is no longer a bargaining chip. It’s really difficult for me to ask you to do something now.”

Lin Xiaosu smiled: "I entered the world of Qinghua by observing your swordsmanship, how can I say that I have not benefited from your help? If there is anything you wish to do, as long as it is within my power, I will do my best to accomplish it."

"You're very generous, so I won't stand on ceremony!" the old man said. "After you leave the outside world, find the Third Heaven, find someone inside, and tell him something!"

"Who is inside?" Lin Xiaosu's heart pounded.

Triple Heaven is a very mysterious place name.

Using his winged blade as his eyes, he found the place left behind by Daoist Lu Yun, but he couldn't find the temple in the Third Heaven.

"A blind man who is only three feet three inches tall! His surname is not important, because he could wander the world under a hundred different identities. I could mislead you by mentioning any of his surnames." A blind man!

Lu Yun?
But Lu Yun is only three feet three inches tall?
No, Lin Xiaosu has seen him in person; he is of normal height.

However, in the path of cultivation, height can also be deceiving. Is this old man really looking for Lu Yun?
"What message does the senior want to tell him?" Lin Xiaosu cut to the chase.

The old man said, "Tell him that the only way to avert the catastrophe is through the Three-Character Book! The 'Human Character Scroll' of the Three-Character Bone Book is in the Heavenly Abyss."

Three-character bone script!

Lin Xiaosu's heart was in turmoil...

This was the second time he had heard the name "Three-Character Bone Script".

I first learned about it from the primordial spirit imprint of the Hydra Lord.

This sovereign created the Hydra behemoth on a global scale with the ultimate goal of using its pervasive power to search for the Three-Character Bone Scripture worldwide.

If even Hydra couldn't find it, then theoretically no one could find it.

However, in this Kun Cang, the old man sitting on the mountaintop clearly told him that the three-character bone script scroll of the character "人" was in Tianyuan.

"Where is Tianyuan?"

"I don't know about Tianyuan either, but the one in the Third Heaven has a way to find him."

Lin Xiaosu took a deep breath: "Senior, if I were to meet that person from the Third Heaven, and he asked me who this information came from, how should I answer?"

The old man slowly raised his gaze: "You can tell him that this news comes from the only surviving member of the Ancient Array Sect, Lone Sword Dust!"

"I... Senior's surname is I?" Lin Xiaosu's heart was greatly moved. When he passed through the Ancient Desolate Array Sect, he saw some stone tablets and inscriptions of the Ancient Desolate Array Sect. He also knew that the sect leader of the Ancient Desolate Array Sect had a very strange surname, which was I.

“The old man of the past was not named Gu, but Jian, and named Jian Wuchen. He wandered the world for a thousand years, only to find that things had changed when he returned to his ancestral land. Therefore, he restored his ancestral surname and broke his sword with dust. Tell him this, and he will naturally know who I am.”

“Senior, to be honest, I…I have received the inheritance of the Array Sect! I can be considered a disciple of the Array Sect.”

Lone Sword Dust's eyes suddenly lit up!

This bright light was like starlight from outer space!

"You...you received the inheritance of the Array Sect?"

"Yes!"

"How did you manage to enter the forbidden area of ​​the Array Sect?" His voice became agitated.

"This junior is born with the eye of the formation!" Lin Xiaosu said, "I can clearly see that the mountain beneath you, senior, is the eye of an ancient formation, and I can see..."

His voice stopped abruptly, and his face was filled with shock.

Gu Jian You Chen stared intently at him: "Tell me, what else did you see?"

"Senior, you...your body...your body is this mountain! You are one of the eighty-one elders of the Array Sect who transformed their physical bodies into arrays!"

"Indeed, a born array eye! Good! Good! Heaven has eyes, the Array Sect has a successor!" Gu Jian Youchen laughed heartily, extremely excited. However, his laughter suddenly turned desolate: "However, you have also misunderstood one thing. I am not one of the eighty-one elders of the past. Their bodies were transformed into arrays, how could their souls be brought back? I merely sacrificed my own body to ensure that this great array would not perish!"

I will sacrifice myself to ensure the great formation survives!

Over thousands of years, the great formation inevitably became riddled with holes and unable to function. He, Lone Sword Dust, used his own flesh as essence and blood to infuse the great formation, which was formed from the bodies of eighty-one elders, to ensure that this protective formation that isolated the ancient world could continue to operate.

Lin Xiaosu was shocked.

The Ancient Array Sect paid the price of total annihilation to create such a grand array.

Its descendants are also maintaining this great formation.

On the day he left the sect and abandoned the formation to cultivate swordsmanship, the rebellious disciple Jian Wuchen resolutely returned to the sect, willing to give up all his life essence and blood, and to spend thousands of years to firmly fulfill the sect's legacy.

Lone Sword Dust said, "From this moment on, I will address you as my junior brother!"

"Senior brother!" Lin Xiaosu grabbed his hand.

“My physical body is connected to the array, and I cannot leave the Chaotic Cloud Heaven. Even though my primordial spirit can extend my senses for a hundred miles, I still cannot leave Kun Cang. Therefore, the important task of finding the Three Heavens can only be entrusted to you! Otherwise, if the Ancient Desolation breaks through the boundary in your world, it will surely affect Kun Cang. This Heaven-Sealing Array built by the Array Sect with all its resources will no longer be an array, but a joke. Do you understand?”

"I understand!"

This grand formation has only one purpose: to prevent the ancient beings from breaking through the boundary.

If there is only this one exit, and the great formation remains unbroken, the ancient beings cannot enter, then the formation has served its purpose.

However, the Ancient Wilderness has more than one exit; it can also cross boundaries in the outside world.

If the Ancient Desolate One breaks through the boundary from the outside world, enters through the entrance of Kun Cang, and comes to stand before Lone Sword Dust, then what is the point of the Ancient Desolate One Array Sect building this great array?
Isn't that a joke?
Gu Jian Youchen exhaled a long, drawn-out breath: "Junior brother, life is truly unpredictable, isn't it?"

"Yes!" Lin Xiaosu said, "Senior brother, why did you choose me from among the vast sea of ​​people?"

"I chose you because you are from the outside world, and you are uniquely blessed to search for people outside the realm. Moreover, your 'Tears of Parting' technique in Chaotic Cloud City greatly impressed me. I believe that your cultivation path will be infinitely high. Therefore, I wanted to form a good relationship with you. Who knew that the first thing we would form was a relationship between our sects? So, this is what is called fate in this world."

"Thank you for your high regard, senior brother. However, my cultivation path... has encountered a problem! I wonder if you can remove this shackle."

"Something went wrong?" Gu Jianyouchen's expression changed slightly. He gently raised his finger and pointed it at Lin Xiaosu's brow...

At this point, his expression completely changed: "The Blood Tower is complete, but it only has eight stars shining in the sky. Where is your Heavenly Star Tear? Where did it go?"

There was a clear sense of panic in his voice.

This was also an extremely unusual thing for this ancient being.

Lin Xiaosu told the truth...

There were originally nine, but one of them was born at the wrong time and faced a difficult choice, so it was used to save someone...

And so on...

Gu Jian You Chen sighed deeply: "Junior brother, how can I say anything to you? If I scold you, I simply can't bring myself to do it because of your loyal and righteous nature. But if I don't scold you, I'll feel uneasy. My junior brother, a genius of all ages, has been ruined in an instant!"

Lin Xiaosu felt a chill in her heart.

Even this truly powerful figure has determined that his path cannot continue? (End of Chapter)
