The stolen magic is a bit magical

In the middle of the night, Lin Xiaosu arrived at Liulin Temple.

Huya has been appointed as the temporary commander of the Tashan defense line.

She put down the battle plan she was studying and accompanied Lin Xiaosu along the long passage between Liulin Temple and the folded space.

There was no sadness on her face, but rather boundless excitement...

"Hey, how about we switch? You stay here and take charge, and I'll take over your job and make things a mess for them?"

"Damn it! Who can you make a mess of things? You're the one who's making me a mess!" Lin Xiaosu glared at her.

"Don't look down on me. I have a wealth of combat experience now. How about I take over as the commander-in-chief? Hmm... temporary commander-in-chief? My combat strength is no less than yours!" Tiger Girl said, "Or, I'll tell the old man, and we can go together?"

"Hey, hey, don't get too carried away," Lin Xiaosu said. "Revolution is like a brick; you can move it wherever it's needed, haven't you heard that?"

"I've heard that, but I'm very opinionated. I'm the proactive type... Look at you scratching your head like that, you're just worried that having me around will interfere with your womanizing!"

My goodness, this girl is so carefree!
Or is it optimism that runs deep in your bones?

They really treat this foreign land like a tourist destination...

"Fine, after all, I'm still a new trader in Qianlong. For now, I'll follow orders!" Tiger Girl looked around and compromised: "Hey, the jungle here is quite dense, which is perfect for young people to explore the woods. This is the only benefit of opening up the folded space. Theoretically, it can promote population growth."

Lin Xiaosu rubbed her forehead.

"What's wrong?" Tiger Girl glared at him. "You've already crawled through Miao Ruolan's hole, and you've already crawled through your Xiao Ye's hole, can't you get through anymore?"

Lin Xiaosu reached out and hugged her waist. The next moment, she proved with her actions that she could still crawl through!

As usual, Tiger Girl got so excited that she almost snapped a tree in front of her.

After she finished, she breathed a satisfied sigh of relief: "You've been gone for years, and I'm starting to sympathize with Widow Feng's long, difficult nights..."

Lin Xiaosu glared at her: "Hey, hey, what do you mean by 'empathetic widow'? Are you cursing me to die?"

"I misspoke! My little Meng is so fierce, how could I bear to curse him? Little Meng, please don't die, I'm still waiting to go into the forest with you..." Tiger Girl became obedient, snuggling in his arms.

Xiao Meng?

Where did this come from?

Lin Xiaosu looked at her mischievous smile and wished she could teach her another lesson.

Tiger Girl giggled and soared into the sky: "We can't play anymore, I have to go back to the meeting. The temporary commander-in-chief is feeling great and full of energy, so he has to give everyone tasks to get everyone hyped up."

With that, Lin Xiaosu bid farewell to this world.

Lan Yao, Ruolan, and Hu Ya indulged themselves through their actions.

Yi Xiang and Ding Ruoshui comforted each other with a text message.

A consensus was reached on the other side of the dragon's head.

Although the parents were reluctant, they ultimately agreed.

The road ahead is unknown.

Behind him lay his homeland, a place he had never truly let go of.

On the cliff, Lin Xiaosu turned around and took one last look at Laotashan Village.

The whole village was quiet, except for his small courtyard, where a lamp was still lit.

His parents stood quietly under the lamp, as if they could still see him through the darkness of the night sky...

Lin Xiaosu waved gently and said, "Goodbye! My home, goodbye... Tashan!"

Then, I entered the folded space.

In the folded space, the starlight is synchronized with the outside world.

The celestial laws of the two worlds slowly merged at a frequency imperceptible to mortals.

The former Tashan defense line still bears traces of the battlefield, but the mountain peaks on both sides are now vastly different.

There are many more caves and many more wooden houses.

This is the sect established here by the thirteen sects of Kuncang.

The most prominent peak among them is Shenghua Valley.

Where is it conspicuous?

The entire mountain peak was covered in blooming flowers, and under the starlight, it was as beautiful as a dream.

Lin Xiaosu moved his feet and stepped into the air, landing on the mountain peak. Two elders appeared and bowed deeply: "Young Master Lin, the Venerable Master is in seclusion at a critical moment. He cannot come out of seclusion at this time, nor can we disturb him. Please forgive us."

Lin Xiaosu's gaze fell upon a cave ahead, the energy within it shifting unpredictably: "Is Your Excellency about to break through to the next realm?"

The Grand Elder said, "The Venerable One has been at the peak of enlightenment for many years. The rules of the Heavenly Dao in Kun Cang are incomplete, making it impossible to condense the primordial spirit. After arriving here, he has been deeply moved by the repeated bloody battles. Perhaps he can really take that step."

"Congratulations!" Lin Xiaosu said with a smile, "I believe that you two elders are only one step away from the Enlightenment Realm."

“Young Master has keen insight. We two old men have also recently grasped the profound mystery. However, since the Venerable One is in seclusion, we dare not calmly comprehend it. Once the Venerable One emerges from seclusion, it will be our turn to go into seclusion,” said the First Elder.

"Feng Ji...where is Senior Sister?"

"Young master, do you not know? Feng Ji has already entered the Ancient Era."

"She...entered the Desolate Ancient Realm?" Lin Xiaosu was slightly surprised.

"May I answer this question?" A figure flashed, and a beautiful woman appeared on the mountain peak. It was the Holy Maiden of Thousand Spirits. The Holy Maiden of Thousand Spirits said, "Before Feng Ji left, she talked to me. It was half a month after the third day of the third month. The world had changed, and the defense line of Great Xia had been breached. She said that there was only one way to solve the current situation, and that was for her to enter the Desolate Ancient Realm and enter the Reincarnation Gate to see if there was any hope of ending this great disaster with the power of the Reincarnation Gate."

From her perspective.

This may indeed be the only way.

She wasn't a deity; she couldn't possibly have predicted that Lin Xiaosu would find a turning point in her fate from the Three Heavens.

All I can say is that when faced with a major calamity, everyone responds in their own way.

That's how Lin Xiaosu is.

The same goes for Feng Ji.

"I see!" Lin Xiaosu nodded gently. "Farewell!"

He descended from the peak of Shenghua Valley.

The Holy Maiden of a Thousand Spirits followed her all the way.

Lin Xiaosu smiled slightly: "Haven't you thought about entering the Desolate Ancient Realm to search for your people?"

She is the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Clan. The Spirit Clan is also an ancient and powerful clan.

Although she was buried in a blood coffin in this world, her roots are in the ancient wilderness. At least, she cannot find her clansmen in this world, but she can find them in the ancient wilderness.

The Holy Maiden of the Thousand Spirits smiled gently: "If I hadn't been waiting for you, I would have gone there long ago."

"Wait for me? Did you know I would enter the Desolate Ancient Realm?"

The Thousand Spirits Saintess said, "Don't forget, I fought against the Hydra alongside you. I know your mindset when facing an enemy. I knew that under these circumstances, you would definitely take this step!"

"You're waiting for me because you intend to keep our promise?"

The Holy Maiden of Thousand Spirits glared at him: "Stop reciting that flirtatious poem about 'growing old together.' I'm waiting for you because I want to tell you about some new developments in the Desolate Ancient Land and then discuss our action plan with you."

“You said…” Lin Xiaosu’s eyes calmed down.

The Holy Maiden of the Thousand Spirits walked alongside him into the deeper part of the folded space, talking a lot along the way.

Lin Xiaosu had also learned about the ancient world, from fragmented and scattered information that emerged from Feng Ji's very being, as well as from the complete information from Gu Jian You Chen.

Whether it's what Feng Ji said or what Gu Jian You Chen said, it's all information from the past.

This information is at least several thousand years old.

Today, the information brought by the Holy Maiden of a Thousand Spirits comes from the prisoners.

The battles at the Tashan defense line relied on two powerful weapons to inflict casualties on Haoyuan Sect. Nuclear bombs aside, under such weapons, one is either a ghost or a god, and it is unlikely that there are any human beings.

The Sky Yin-Yang Reversal Array was much gentler, with only... cripples beneath it!
These practitioners, having lost their spiritual cultivation, become clear-headed and sensible, constantly worried about being thrown into the abyss. Even if you don't interrogate them, they will take the initiative to get close to you, vying to tell you many things, showing you through their actions that they are not simply wasting food.

Therefore, Feng Ji knew almost everything about the situation there.

The situation is quite different from that of thousands of years ago.

According to the information Lin Xiaosu learned, the top-level structure there is one abyss, three sects, four gates, and six paths.

But things have changed now.

One Abyss, Three Sects, Six Paths, Nine Gates.

A deep abyss, a vast, dark abyss.

The Three Sects: Heavenly Capital, Underworld, and Xuanhuang.

The Six Paths: the Path of Time and Space, the Path of Yin and Yang, the Path of Cause and Effect, the Path of Chaos, the Path of Life, and the Left Path.

Nine Gates, Demon Gate, Monster Gate, Ten Thousand Poisons Gate, Heart Gate, Dragon Gate, Reincarnation Gate, Green Gate, Ancient Gate, Beast Taming Gate.

It seems that the two structures, namely "One Abyss, Three Sects, Four Gates, Six Paths" and "One Abyss, Three Sects, Six Paths, Nine Gates", are just an increase or decrease in the number of "gates". The original "four gates" (Demon, Monster, Ancient, Reincarnation) have been increased to the current nine gates (with the addition of the Heart Gate, Dragon Gate, Ten Thousand Poisons Gate, Green Gate and Beast Taming Gate).

It's not that simple.

It's not just about the increase or decrease in quantity.

More importantly, it defined the hierarchy of status.

The previous ordering, which placed "gate" before "way", was clearly unreasonable.

The Dao represents the seven laws of the Heavenly Dao; how can it be placed under the "gate"?
Therefore, we must now get to the root of the problem.

The way is right at the door!

At the same time, this sorting also reflects the enormous changes in the landscape over the past thousands of years.

The Dragon Gate didn't exist before because the dragon clan was dwindling and seemingly extinct. However, when the Heavenly Dragon Crossing opened, people were surprised to find a huge clan there.

The Heart Gate, rising unexpectedly, infiltrated the ancient wilderness, and its power expanded greatly.

The Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, which cultivates its path through poison, is ruthless and dangerous, and is feared throughout the martial arts world.

The Beast Taming Sect used to be just a small-scale operation, but now it has become quite a force to be reckoned with.

The Green Gate is extremely mysterious, and to this day no one knows why it can be one of the Nine Gates.

After hearing this basic introduction, Lin Xiaosu asked a question, a question that had actually been asked a long time ago...

"The Six Paths are named after the Seven Laws of Heaven, but they are the only ones without reincarnation. Theoretically, reincarnation should be part of the Path, so why has reincarnation fallen from the Path and become a gate?"

"The Six Paths require Dao Seals!" said the Holy Maiden of the Thousand Spirits. "Time and space, yin and yang, cause and effect, chaos, and life all have Dao Seals, but the Path of Reincarnation is the only one that lacks a Dao Seal. Without a Dao Seal, it is not considered orthodox, so it can only be downgraded."

The cycle of reincarnation is missing the seal of reincarnation...

Unable to remain within the Six Paths, it was knocked off the high platform of the Path and named after the gate...

The ancient world is truly hierarchical.

Lin Xiaosu asked, "Then what makes this unorthodox path the way?"

"The unorthodox path, though it has its share of dissenting voices, must be said that in this world, strength reigns supreme. The unorthodox path was able to rise to prominence because of a legend. This legend is the so-called unorthodox one who holds the center of the Heavenly Dao and the left in my own hands—a six-eared unorthodox one."

"The Six-Eared Left Guardian?" Lin Xiaosu's heart skipped a beat.

This name is something he finds very sensitive.

The Holy Maiden of Thousand Spirits said, "I know you are renowned for your wisdom in that world. However, in the Desolate Ancient Realm, be extremely careful of this strange beast. I have a feeling that this Six-Eared Left Master might be your greatest opponent in the Desolate Ancient Realm, because in the world of the wise, there is no room for a second player."

"Is this what you waited here specifically to tell me? Beware of the Six-Eared Left Guardian?"

Saintess Qianling smiled gently: "Of course not! I just want to discuss with you the procedures for entering the Desolate Ancient Realm. I have designed a path for you, which is the only strategy I can think of from my perspective."

"you say!"

"Enter the Azure Abyss! Try every possible means to enter the Azure Abyss. No matter how many thousands or millions of years have passed, the Azure Abyss has always firmly occupied the 'one' in the top framework of cultivation! Only the Azure Abyss has the power to restrain the ancient wilderness and has the possibility of truly ending this calamity of no way."

Her voice was extremely serious.

Her eyes showed concern.

Lin Xiaosu stopped and stood on the highest peak.

Before him lay the former Haoyuan Mountain Gate, now a pile of ruins...

"Qianling, thank you!" Lin Xiaosu said.

"No need to thank me. We already made it clear back then by Tashan Lake... I will accompany you on the road ahead!"

"Today we've shared the snow, so we can say we'll grow old together in this life..."

Saintess Qianling chuckled and rolled her eyes at him: "You, you've already made so many people's Dao hearts waver. Stop using your flirting skills in front of me."

They both laughed. (End of Chapter)
