The stolen magic is a bit magical

The underground palace contains a formation.

It is an extremely mysterious and complex formation.

Inside the formation, there was a person sitting cross-legged.

This man had long hair that reached his shoulders. He sat with his head down. What was most shocking was that there were seven sharp nails on the ground, piercing through his flesh, his two thighs, his arms, and even a nail that rose from the ground, piercing through his entire body, with a sharp point emerging from his head.

These nails are cast in bronze.

The color is a deep, dark green.

If the bronze nails weren't artificially aged, they would all be artifacts from thousands of years ago.

What surprised Lin Xiaosu even more was the straw in the man's hair.

This straw, its energy transmitted through the great array, was none other than the kind of straw he was most familiar with—the straw that the Mad Dao used to stab the hairy man.

The straw transformed into a heavenly burning spear, descending from the void. Thirteen enlightened gods and even experts who had mastered the rules were reduced to ashes. Among them, one straw—oh no, the heavenly burning spear—pierced through the ground a hundred meters deep and stabbed into the forehead of the person in the formation.

However, it was shattered by a single shot!

No one was injured!
How terrifying is this person's cultivation level?
Fortunately, he was inside the great formation at the moment, and fortunately, his entire body was pierced by copper nails...

This is probably also the key reason why the Mad Daoist was still relaxed and at ease even though he knew that this person's cultivation was unparalleled.

With a gentle lift of his hand, the Mad Dao created a sound barrier. His gaze shifted over: "Boy, now that this folded space has been opened, the passage to the Ancient Desolate Era has been formed. It can't be closed off, and people will surely keep emerging from within. Is that right?"

"Yes!"

"You need a top-tier expert to guard this place!"

Lin Xiaosu's heart pounded: "He's the helper you found for me?"

"Yes!"

"However, I don't think this person is so easy to talk to."

"It's alright. Make him swear allegiance first, then rescue him from the battle."

"Swear an oath?" Lin Xiaosu said, "Oaths are a shackle for gentlemen, but on the path of cultivation, there don't seem to be many gentlemen..."

"It's alright!" A wisp of voice from the Mad Dao entered Lin Xiaosu's sea of ​​consciousness, exploding softly...

Swish!
With a wave of his hand, the soundproof curtain was activated.

Feng Dao and Lin Xiaosu walked side by side toward the array platform in front.

This platform is octagonal.

The floor is covered with ancient tiles, the material of which is unknown.

The patterns on it are extremely mysterious.

It had not seen the light of day for many years, and was damp and dark.

At that moment, the sky above was ripped off by the madman, and the sound of human footsteps echoed on the silent stone slab.

blah blah blah...

The people in the formation slowly opened their eyes.

Lin Xiaosu could clearly see those eyes through his disheveled hair that hung down like willow branches.

What kind of eyes are these?
It carried an endless sense of gloom.

Having weathered the vicissitudes of time.

"Senior, how long have you been here?" Lin Xiaosu's voice was very gentle.

The heads of the people in the formation slowly rose, slowly rose...

He saw the sky above.

Sunlight filled the view.

Those eyes suddenly came to life: "Who are you?"

The three words sounded very unfamiliar.

"The one who destroyed Haoyuan Sect is also the one who can save our senior!" Lin Xiaosu said.

The man in the formation frowned sharply: "Can you save me?"

"Yes!"

"Do you know what this formation is... what kind of formation it is?" The last four words were clearly a last-minute change.

He probably intended to state the battle formation name directly, but changed it at the last minute, turning it into a question.

This is also an assessment.

If you don't even know the name of the formation, then don't hold out any hope.

Lin Xiaosu smiled: "The Zhou Tian Trapping Formation integrates the whimsical ideas of the Sky and Sky System, constructing six stars with the limitless sky and sky, forming a situation of heavenly defects and earthly flaws."

The eyes of those in the formation gleamed brightly: "The Void Limitless Structure has six stars? Not seven?"

Madman's brows furrowed as well.

There are seven bronze nails on the ground. If it is an array, it should be the Seven Stars. The way of arrays emphasizes three, seven, and nine. When has it ever been six?
"Senior still doesn't understand what I'm saying. If these seven nails are the Seven Stars, then it's perfect, and it wouldn't be called 'Heaven and Earth Imperfect.' Have you been trying to decipher these seven nails as the Seven Stars all these years, and the more you decipher them, the more something seems off?"

The man in the formation fixed his eyes on Lin Xiaosu. Only now did he truly take this young man seriously: "Where is the Seventh Star?"

"Of course I know where it is!" Lin Xiaosu said, "But why should I tell you, senior? What benefit would you give me?"

What benefits do you want?

"I want you to swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao that after you emerge, you will guard this place, and when facing the ancient beings who have crossed the boundary, you will do your utmost to kill them, ensuring that no one in the Great Xia Realm behind you is harmed!"

The person in the formation slowly said, "You are from the Great Xia Realm."

"Yes!"

The man in the formation slowly raised his head, looking up at the sky. His face was filled with complex emotions, as if he were making the most difficult decision.

Finally, he said, "Okay!"

With a flick of her wrist, Lin Xiaosu produced a blank sheet of paper. She quickly wrote a line of text, then with a wave of her hand, the paper passed through the array barrier and appeared before the people inside the array.

To those in the formation, it truly shone with boundless brilliance.

Lin Xiaosu just showed off two skills. The first was his array insight. His analysis and judgment of the array completely matched the inner beliefs of the people in the array.

No matter how illogical it was to believe a mere greenhorn, he still believed half of it.

Now, with a gentle wave of Lin Xiaosu's hand, a delicate sheet of white paper passed through the array's barrier and appeared perfectly intact before him. This was a true demonstration of the array. It should be noted that ordinary weapons would be torn apart if they crossed this array.

Even with such a powerful divine ability as the Mad Dao, his Heavenly Burning Spear lost three-tenths of its strength when it crossed the barrier of the array.

The people in the formation glanced at the contents of the white paper, which were exactly the same as what Lin Xiaosu had just said.

He flicked his finger, a drop of blood appearing at his fingertip, as he signed his name...

Qi Yue!

The name Qi Yue appeared on the white paper, and Lin Xiaosu smiled: "Since you have already acknowledged it, then I will break the formation and welcome you out! This Dao pattern is the seventh star that you have been struggling to find. No wonder you could not find it, because the seventh star was originally outside the formation."

With a flick of his wrist, he placed a finger on a pattern at the edge of the formation, and the pattern glowed faintly.

The outer array base shimmered with light, then shattered with a crack.

The seven nails beneath the figures in the formation also shimmered with light.

With a soft "poof," it seemed as if a partition had been broken.

Chi!
All seven copper nails shattered simultaneously.

Qi Yue was shaken to his core, as if a beast that had been dormant for many years had been awakened.

His gaze fell on Lin Xiaosu, filled with boundless excitement: "The outer array is the Zhou Tian Trapping Array. Does Young Master have a way to break it?"

The Zhou Tian system of formations is the pinnacle of formation techniques.

If the outer formation cannot be broken, he will ultimately achieve nothing.

Lin Xiaosu laughed and said, "If it were the complete Zhou Tian Trapping Formation, I wouldn't be able to break it either. Unfortunately, too many people in this world who practice formations like to be clever and add unnecessary details. This Zhou Tian Trapping Formation is integrated with the Seven Stars of the Sky, which seems to be infinitely mysterious, but it has destroyed the integrity of the Zhou Tian Trapping Formation."

He raised his hand and pointed a finger at a base in the northwest corner.

The array's light suddenly shifted, seemingly revealing the myriad phenomena of the universe in an instant.

puff!
Cracks appeared on all eight array bases simultaneously.

With a soft boom, like a long river flowing by, the energy of the array completely dissipated.

The man in the formation stood up, his hair flying, and laughed loudly: "Hahahaha, I, Li Qianzong, have finally broken free! I've finally broken free! For three thousand years... Bai Xuanhuang, I will wipe out your entire family!"

His arrogant and domineering laughter shook the entire mountain range.

Within the ruins of Haoyuan, it was as if another earth-shattering wave had been unleashed.

Lin Xiaosu was quite surprised: "Aren't you called Qi Yue?"

"Haha!" Li Qianzong laughed wildly, "This place is incomplete and imperfect. Even if I sign my real name, I have no fear of the oath of Heaven. However, it is best to be cautious about matters involving the oath of Heaven. Therefore, I will not even sign my real name! This is my way of repaying you, kid, and showing you what the dangers of the martial world are."

puff!
The signed piece of paper turned to dust in his palm.

Lin Xiaosu said, "You mean you don't intend to keep your promise?"

"What an innocent and naive little brat!" Li Qianzong stepped forward: "You will surely be brutally trampled on when you embark on the path of the martial world. I might as well crush you to death so that you will not suffer the agony of being unable to live or die in the future!"

A palm strike came down...

A person like him doesn't care who he kills; when the mood strikes, he'll kill his friends for fun.

Why would you care about the young people you just met?
However, when his palm was still three inches away from Lin Xiaosu's forehead, his mind suddenly trembled violently, as if some kind of great terror was enveloping his entire body.

With a whoosh, he abruptly pulled his hand back.

Once this was brought back, his mind immediately became clear.

The smile on Li Qianzong's face froze completely at that moment...

"Li Qianzong, is it!" Feng Dao slowly stepped forward: "The agreement you just signed is no ordinary agreement; it's a causal chain!"

Li Qianzong was utterly shocked: "A chain of cause and effect?"

“In the chain of cause and effect, there are no names, only causal facts. So, don’t think that if you change your name to Qi Yue, or even if you change it to a dog, the cause and effect will still fall on your head!” The madman raised his hand, picking a straw between his teeth, and walked closer: “In addition, you are right about one thing. This place is incomplete and flawed. Even if it is a vow made by the Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Dao may not be able to sense it. However, cause and effect are different. The more incomplete and flawed the Heavenly Dao is, the more obvious the cause and effect will be, simply because the fission of cause and effect all originates from the flaws of the Heavenly Dao.”

Li Qianzong's forehead was covered in cold sweat.

For an ordinary person, this explanation of cause and effect by the madman might not be understood at all, and even if understood, they might not believe it.

But the more accomplished a person is on the path of cultivation, the more they understand the mystery and terror of cause and effect.

"This kid... this kid is still wet behind the ears, his understanding of the laws of cause and effect is extremely shallow. Do you really think he can lock me up?" Li Qianzong's voice was icy, his sharp eyes like those of a demon from the deepest part of hell.

“You’re an amateur!” Madman said, “The most powerful aspect of the Law of Cause and Effect is that it only needs to integrate cause and effect into the chain. What you’re fighting against isn’t it, but the Heavenly Dao Cause and Effect Disc!”

“If he dies, this chain will break.” Li Qianzong said, word by word.

“You’re right about that! You can hope he dies sooner, but you can’t kill him yourself, nor can you arrange for someone else to do it!” the madman said leisurely.

Li Qianzong's gaze slowly fell on Lin Xiaosu's face: "Kid, give me a straight answer, when are you going to die?"

Lin Xiaosu rolled her eyes: "It seems there's a missing clause in the agreement. I should add: You must show me respect!"

Li Qianzong said, "Alright, please tell me, when are you going to die?"

He added the word "please" to show respect.

"..." Lin Xiaosu said, "Put my death date aside for now and focus on the agreement. But if any Ancient Ones cross the border, kill them with all your might!"

Madman flicked a straw toothpick in his hand: "What this kid says makes sense! Brother Li, an enemy has crossed the line, go! For your head! For your karma..."

boom!
Li Qianzong soared into the air!

Accompanied by a thunderous statement: "To hell with your karma, I curse the ancestors of the Heavenly Dao for eighteen generations!"

With a swift movement, the madman grabbed Lin Xiaosu and lifted her into the sky.

On the northwestern horizon, a group of cultivators at the Enlightenment Realm crossed the border...

Suddenly, a figure swept across the sky, his thousand-foot-tall body stretching across heaven and earth; it was none other than Li Qianzong.

With a flick of his giant claw, more than ten Enlightenment Realm experts fell into his palm. With a gentle squeeze, their Dharma Bodies collapsed, and they were all greatly shocked.

"Do you know what cause and effect are?" Li Qianzong roared.

"Senior, this junior has never offended you..." The Enlightenment Realm in his palm was completely dumbfounded. I don't even know you? What are you talking to me about cause and effect?
"Killing you is the cause and effect!"

boom!
With a single squeeze, more than ten people at the Enlightenment Realm turned into a bloody mist.

With a wave of his hand, Li Qianzong sent the blood mist swirling in front of Lin Xiaosu, transforming into a massive ancient character...

"roll!"

Lin Xiaosu's teeth ached a little. What kind of person did I find? So irritable! (End of Chapter)
