The stolen magic is a bit magical

"No one is born rebellious; all rebellion is forced by circumstances!" Mei Jiu said in a deep voice. "You were born in Cangyuan from a young age, and your feet have never set foot in the human world. You don't know what Heaven or the Dao means to people. He was born in the Dharma-ending Age, and the Heavenly Dao in his heart is simply the peace of his compatriots. Yes, ordinary people are like ants in your eyes, but I ask you, do they have the right to live?"

His accusations have never been so serious.

His expression had never been so passionate.

Zixia's face suddenly darkened: "Senior Brother Mei, do you know who you are? You are the Ninth Heavenly General of Cangyuan, not his follower. If you continue to speak nonsense, don't blame me for being ruthless and heartless, and I will take you down to prove your Dao on behalf of the Elders!"

"Haha!" Mei Jiu laughed, looking up at the sky. "Don't blame me for being heartless and ungrateful. Zixia, in your entire life, have you ever known any sense of loyalty or righteousness? In your world, have you ever understood loyalty or righteousness? To talk about loyalty and righteousness with me now is utterly laughable!"

Zixia flew into a rage: "Mei Jiu, you should be glad you were born in this era. If you had been born millions of years ago in the era of the struggle between heaven and man, you would already be a sacrifice to the heavenly way!"

Everyone was stunned by these words.

Because she mentioned the struggle between Heaven and Man.

Their dispute just now was actually the core dispute between Heaven and humanity over the Dao.

The Way of Heaven emphasizes that Heaven is supreme.

Humanitarianism prioritizes human beings.

In the world of Heaven, humans are like ants. Hundreds of millions are born and die, and dynasties rise and fall a thousand times. To them, it is nothing more than the passing of light and shadow on earth, never causing any waves.
In the human world, one cannot see too far into the sky; the horizon is limited to a hundred miles, and time extends to a hundred years. There is no concept of past or future lives; the fate of one's relatives in this generation is their destiny.

Mei Jiu inadvertently touched upon the forbidden zone of the struggle between heaven and man.

If this had happened at that sensitive time, his words would have truly been enough to make him sacrifice himself for the cause of Heaven.

He Yuan Fairy stepped forward: "We, the Eight Heavenly Generals, are all brothers and sisters. We fought side by side in the past and are as close as siblings. Let's not say anything that would hurt our harmony, and let's not let an outsider cause us to lose our Dao heart."

“That’s right!” Li Lun said, “Brother Mei is straightforward, as everyone knows. Junior Sister Zixia, let’s leave it at that! Go back!”

With a gentle flick of his willow-leaf hand, Cangyuan opened a window and returned to Cangyuan.

Mei Jiu, with a gloomy face, took a step back to Ruzu Pavilion. A fragrant breeze stirred behind him, and Heyuan Fairy stood in the pavilion.

Mei Jiu took a deep breath: "What? Are you worried about me?"

"No!" Fairy Heyuan said softly, "I just wanted to comfort you!"

“You’ve got the wrong person. You should be comforting someone else, not me, but… that person you’ve never seen since!” Mei Jiu raised her hand, and a wine cup appeared in her palm. A drop of crystal dew shot out from the chaotic time vortex outside the pavilion and entered the cup.

He gently raised his hand, paying homage to the distant past and space, and drank.

"Because we are, after all, in the Cangyuan, where the world is ever-changing. For us, it is all just a painting before our eyes, while he will helplessly watch his homeland be destroyed and the path he pursues crumble before his very eyes, won't he?" Fairy Heyuan sat down in front of him.

"Isn't that right?" Mei Jiu drank another cup.

This glass of wine comes from the other side of the vortex of time.

If the previous glass of wine was from the past, this glass might be from the future...

He Yuan Fairy gently raised her eyes: "Since you cultivate the laws of time, I can give you two words: Time!"

Mei Jiu raised her eyes and looked into the pair of eyes in front of her.

Those eyes held endless mystery...

"Why?"

He Yuan Fairy said, "He has only been in the Desolate Ancient Realm for two years. When he first entered the Desolate Ancient Realm, his combat strength was only on par with Wu Shen. But now, he can kill the Demon Lord! Although time has magic power, no one has ever demonstrated such obvious magic power on the path of cultivation! Do you agree?"

Mei Jiu nodded slightly: "It is no exaggeration to say that this is an unprecedented wonder in the path of cultivation!"

The Fairy of the River Source smiled gently: "There's still more than a year until that time! Do you think he'll do nothing for the remaining year?"

Mei Jiu's eyes suddenly widened...

He finally understood the two words the fairy from the river source had given him: time!

The great path he explored his entire life: Time!

This moment truly comes to life...

A truly imaginative space!
In just two years, his combat power has progressed from Enlightenment to taking that step.

With more than a year left, will he remain stagnant for that year?
He only needs to take one more step forward to reach the level of being on equal footing with his master!

On the path of cultivation, Cangyuan is "that one" for millions of years, and the Master is the true ruler of this world.

Could it be that……

Can he really grow to be on par with his master?
If you were to ask anyone else, no one would believe it. Over millions of years, countless outstanding individuals have risen and fallen. Who could possibly achieve that?

But who dares to say he can't?

"If... I'm only saying if!" Mei Jiu sighed softly, "If that day ever comes, and he can stand shoulder to shoulder with Master, perhaps that would be the most terrifying reality. What would be destroyed might not just be his world, but also Cang Yuan!"

If we follow the basic logic of cultivators of the Heavenly Dao...

A year later, Cang Yuan destroyed that world. For that world, it was a catastrophe, but for Huang Gu and Cang Yuan, it was nothing.

However, this is general logic.

But what if the situation described by Fairy Heyuan occurs?
That would be a different story altogether.

Two super-powerful beings will clash head-on, neither able to easily defeat the other; that will be the true struggle for the Dao, a battle between Heaven and Man!

Heaven, Earth, and Man contend for the Way, plunging the entire world into a vast ocean. No one can remain unscathed, not even the abyss of "that One"!

"No! You're wrong!" said Fairy Heyuan. "If that situation were to occur, it wouldn't be terrible; it would be the best outcome!"

"Why?" Mei Jiu asked.

“If it were Su Lin… no, let’s just call him Lin Xiaosu for now…” Fairy Heyuan said, “If Lin Xiaosu could really contend with Master and pose a real threat to Cangyuan, our elders would soften their stance, and Master would compromise. The struggle between Heaven and Man for the Dao could be resolved in another way, a relatively peaceful way!”

"Can a compromise be reached simply by maintaining a stalemate?" Mei Jiu murmured.

"Humanity fights for survival, for the flame of life to burn brightly. They are not afraid of paying any price. But what about the Way of Heaven? Those who cultivate the Way of Heaven are the most adept at weighing things. When the price is high enough, they will compromise on their own!" Fairy Heyuan said, "This is the true difference between the Way of Humanity and the Way of Heaven!"

Mei Jiu's eyes slowly lit up...

He understood spiritual practitioners too well; once they embarked on the path of spiritual practice, worldly emotions ceased to exist.

They seem to understand combat better; however, combat is not just about physical strength, but also about fighting spirit. In terms of fighting spirit, the way of heaven is far inferior to that of man.

As long as the game remains close, he can win!
The huge weight that had been pressing on Mei Jiu's heart for so long finally eased: "Thank you for your comfort, Senior Sister Heyuan. I am very grateful..."

The Fairy of the River Source smiled gently: "Actually, I didn't come here today just to offer comfort!"

"Then what else are you going to give?"

"Let's work together to come up with a plan!"

"What's the plan?"

"Buy him some time!" Fairy Heyuan said, "The Demon Lord died at his hands, and the elders must not know. I will summon my six senior brothers and sisters. You cast the Law of Time to trap them for a year!"

Mei Jiu's heart pounded...

He understood completely!

Through the death of the Demon Lord, Fairy Heyuan realized how terrifying Lin Xiaosu was.

What she can think of, the elders can certainly think of too.

As long as the elders fully understand the extraordinary cultivation feat Lin Xiaosu might achieve in the next year, they will certainly not dare to give him time to cultivate at his own pace.

His legend will surely end prematurely.

This crushed his only hope of turning the tide.

Therefore, it is currently necessary to conceal the true cause of the Demon Lord's death.

Currently, there are only eight people who know the truth!
The two of them joined forces and trapped the other six Heavenly Generals in no time—only a year!

Heyuan Fairy flipped her hand and sent a message to the six Heavenly Generals: "Senior Brother Mei Jiu is not in good condition, come over here!"

In the blink of an eye, the six Heavenly Generals gathered together.

"Senior Sister Heyuan, what happened?" Zixia asked. "I was just about to go to the Elders' Council."

"Look!" Fairy Heyuan gently raised her finger and pointed towards the Moon Tower.

Beneath the Moon Pavilion, Mei Jiu ascended step by step.

Everyone was utterly shocked...

They all knew the story of Mei Jiu, who "feared the bright moon and did not climb the tower".

Upstairs, he had created a time-traveling dojo with his life's cultivation, sealing away his former lover.

He does not go upstairs; time stands still upstairs, and the beauty lives on forever.

If he were to ascend the tower, the temple of time would shatter, and beauty would perish and fragrance would vanish.

And today, is he going to climb the tower?

Is he going to kill his lover with his own hands?

The seriousness and sensitivity of this matter reached their peak instantly, and no one realized that Ruzuoge had disappeared!
The time field is compressed infinitely.

In the space outside the Moon Pavilion, time flows a hundred times faster...

All of this is just one strategy.

The "delay strategy" devised by the Fairy of Heyuan...

Time flew by outside the Moon Pavilion, and three months passed in the blink of an eye.

Beside the Dragon Abyss, Miaoyin slowly opened her eyes, gently extended her finger, and a strange vibration entered the Dragon Abyss, creating a vacuum zone with a diameter of one meter on the surface of the Dragon Abyss.

A joyful smile appeared on her face.

After more than five months of seclusion, Long Yuan's infrasound technique finally reached its peak.

Using bones as the zither and meridians as the strings, one abandons the zither to enter the Tao, and with a single finger, life and death are determined.

Such infrasound techniques could easily crush the primordial spirit of a god of enlightenment, and her cultivation had taken a big step forward.

This is the result of hearing the ancient dragon's roar over the past five months.

Her gaze swept across the area around Longyuan. Spring flowers had faded, and summer grasses were growing wildly; it was already the height of summer.

The joy on her face was slowly replaced by a nameless sorrow.

time flies.

Five months have passed just like that.

That time is getting closer and closer.

One year and three months!
Where does her path lead?

Where does the path lead for the one in the Dragon Pool?
Where does the path lie for all our compatriots in that world?

Suddenly, ripples appeared in the Dragon Abyss.

Miaoyin reached the edge of the abyss in one step, and from the endless dragon energy, a figure emerged from the water. Miaoyin's face lit up with joy: "Little Su, you've emerged from seclusion!"

"How long has it been?"

"You entered Longyuan on the second day of the first lunar month, and it is now the thirteenth of June!"

Lin Xiaosu took a deep breath: "Time flies! More than five months have passed in the blink of an eye! No wonder people in the cultivation world say that time is worthless."

“But time is the most luxurious thing for us,” Miaoyin said.

Lin Xiaosu smiled: "I understand what you mean. Let's have a drink, waste a little of our precious time, and then we can talk about the topics you care about most."

There is a pavilion beside Longyuan.

There is a tea table in the pavilion.

There were no dishes on the coffee table, only a bottle of Chuxiangchun tea and two bamboo-shaped cups.

Wine, hometown wine, cup, Longmen bamboo.

Miaoyin raised her glass of wine: "So, tell me, what's our itinerary going to be next?"

"Us? You're leaving too?"

“Time is running out. No matter how much I struggle in Longmen, I’ll only be a pile of ashes on the battlefield in the future. I might as well travel with you in the sky of this other world!” Miaoyin said.

Lin Xiaosu chuckled softly: "Don't you think what you said sounds a bit tragic?"

Miao Yin smiled gently: "Living in this era and facing such a situation, as a Hidden Dragon Warrior, what reason could there be not to feel tragic?"

"Do you know why I admire Qianlong? It's because of the spirit that Qianlong warriors possess," Lin Xiaosu said. "However, I don't like tragic heroism."

“I never liked being tragic; being tragic was just a choice I had to make!” Miaoyin picked up her wine glass and took a big gulp.

"The battle is taking place right on our doorstep; we have no choice but to fight bravely. Therefore, I plan to adjust our battle strategy," Lin Xiaosu said.

"Adjustment?"

"The greatest threat to that world is Cang Yuan!" Lin Xiaosu said. "What Cang Yuan told me at the beginning was that they needed the Kun Emperor's Lamp because it was the only artifact that could contend with Cang Yuan. So I gave them the lamp and told them, 'I've given you what you wanted. Now you have no reason to attack that world, right?'"

Miaoyin was completely dumbfounded...

The Emperor Kun's Lamp, he personally delivered to Cang Yuan...

These are things she doesn't know.

But she understood the connection: "A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime?"

"Yes! This is a logic that many people agree on! A common man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure! However, Cangyuan did not really only take the Kun Emperor's lamp; they also have something called the Three-Character Bone Script 'Heavenly Scroll'!"

Miaoyin gasped, "I know that! This is the ultimate artifact for cultivators of the Heavenly Dao. Could it be that the Heavenly Scroll is also in that world?"

“It’s even worse than that!” Lin Xiaosu said, “The Heavenly Scroll is in Cangyuan. However, a million years ago, when the three paths of Heaven, Earth and Man were fighting, the Heavenly Scroll was defeated by the Man Scroll. Emperor Kun severed the connection between Heaven and Earth, giving the Heavenly Scroll a heavy blow. This setback caused the Heavenly Scroll to be covered in dust. If we want to truly activate the Heavenly Scroll, we must wash the land of Dao wounds with blood and sacrifice all the living beings in that world.”

Miaoyin let out a long sigh: "I finally truly understand what the root of the calamity in that world is! Its calamity is nothing more than humanity's legitimate defense against the Way of Heaven! They killed our people, and the blood splattered on our bodies stained their snow-white clothes—it's all our fault!"

Her voice was low, but filled with extreme anger.

Lin Xiaosu chuckled softly: "Yes, when faced with bullying, even a small act of resistance that soils the other party's pristine white clothes is a grave mistake. Hehe, this reason is quite 'the way of heaven'! Well then, I'd like to see if they still have any reason to use 'laundry' as an excuse to invade Great Xia if these clothes are gone?"

"Tear these clothes... destroy the Heavenly Scroll?" Miaoyin's breathing stopped completely.

"Yes!"

Miaoyin stared at him blankly...

I was momentarily unable to organize my thoughts...

Cangyuan needed a lamp, and you traveled thousands of miles to deliver it to him.

Cang Yuan came up with a new reason: I'm sorry, but the Kun Di Fire Lamp you brought still can't save your home from its crisis, because there's a piece of clothing that needs washing. The lives of all the creatures in your home depend on that bag of "laundry detergent"!
Lin Xiaosu made her choice... to destroy the garment—the Three-Character Bone Script Heaven Scroll!

The Heavenly Scroll is the ultimate divine artifact of the Heavenly Dao on the path of cultivation.

It's not just a divine artifact, it's the Azure Abyss!
Destroy this divine artifact, provided you defeat Cang Yuan head-on!
"The key question is, can it be done?" Miaoyin asked.

“In the past, this would have been nothing short of a pipe dream, but now… Miaoyin!” Lin Xiaosu slowly stood up: “I am truly only one step away from taking this step!”

Miaoyin slowly stood up, gazing into his eyes: "Where is the final step?"

"Tiandu!"

Tiandu, the foremost of the three sects!
This world is home to the number one ranked sect.

Of course, this does not include Cangyuan.

The Cangyuan people are not really part of this world; what they excel at is long-arm jurisdiction.

Miaoyin took a deep breath and exhaled slowly: "My cultivation is destined to be nothing, but I'm entrusting the final leg of the journey to you. Use it as you see fit, don't be shy!"

Ok?
Lin Xiaosu's gaze fell on her face.

Miaoyin's face slowly turned red: "I know you must have misunderstood, but... it doesn't matter if you have!"

With a whoosh, two figures descended from the sky.

It was Long Ding and Long Yan.

Long Ding laughed heartily: "Brother, you've emerged from seclusion?"

Long Yan looked at Miao Yin with suspicion in her heart. Why was Miao Yin blushing? Did she really not have anything happen with this playboy prince?
It looks very similar...

Lin Xiaosu smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Brother Long, and thank you for the generous treatment from the Dragon Gate."

“You’re being too polite!” Long Ding stretched out his hand: “Brother, let’s go out for a drink! My sister and I have been fighting on the front lines for a while now, and we’ve been wanting to have a drink together.”

"Fighting abroad? Or are you a sea monster?" Lin Xiaosu asked.

"Yes, these bastards are truly like maggots clinging to the bone, impossible to kill or eradicate. The seventy-two dark domains behind them connect to the Demon Realm, and the demon fodder in the Demon Realm are truly diverse. I have now truly witnessed the diversity of demonic species..."

"Brother Long, how about I lend you a hand?" Lin Xiaosu said.

Long Ding shook his head: "Don't worry about that, brother. Those little devils are just unpredictable and troublesome, but there are no super demons that we can't deal with."

"Trouble always needs to be solved!" Lin Xiaosu said, "What if I could help you solve it once and for all?"

Long Ding was stunned.

Long Yan's eyes suddenly lit up: "What brilliant plan does Your Highness have?"

"No need for any brilliant strategy. Aren't there seventy-two dark domains? We'll set up a trap, and wipe them all out in one fell swoop..."

"Array Dao? Zhou Tian Grand Array?" Long Ding's eyes lit up.

The Dragon Palace is not without formations; they also know that the best weapon to deal with complex monsters in such a complex environment is the art of formations.

However, the array's foundation was completely destroyed amidst the swirling demonic energy of the Seventy-Two Dark Domains, rendering its destructive power extremely limited.

There are even cases where the opponent uses formations to counterattack, resulting in heavy losses for the Dragon Palace disciples.

However, the person in front of us is famous throughout the world for his Zhou Tian Grand Array!

"Brother Long, please wait a moment!" Lin Xiaosu flipped his hand, and a pile of array crystals appeared in front of him.

Everyone stared wide-eyed as he inscribed a fleeting array rune before them.

Long Yan's face was full of excitement at first.

But as her excitement faded, a voice reached Miaoyin: "Why are the array runes gone? Could it be that... something unexpected has happened?"

“I don’t know about this, but his complexion looks normal, so he should… he should be fine,” Miaoyin said.

"Ask him."

"Isn't this inappropriate?" Miaoyin naturally didn't ask.

"It would be bad if I asked, making it seem like I don't trust him, but what are you afraid of? Isn't he your husband?"

"Huh?" Miaoyin glared at her. "Which eye of yours saw that?"

"Do I need eyes? The moment I entered Longtan Pavilion, I saw you and him locked eyes, your gazes practically locked. I wouldn't believe it if you didn't have a real skill with him and beat me to a pulp."

Miaoyin blushed...

A drooling look in his eyes?

Have it?

His gaze seemed a little...do I have that kind of gaze too?
OMG……

Although he did say that even if he wanted to think in a different direction, he could, it was just a vow-like resolute statement, and there was really not much about lust involved.

Her thinking was very simple.

This trip is crucial to the overall situation. If she can contribute, she won't hesitate to do it even if it means bleeding herself dry.

She couldn't do much else, but helping him relax and calm his nerves was a good thing.

As for my virginity, what is it?

If the grand plan fails, everyone will turn to ashes.

Why should we care whether a pile of ashes is from a virgin or a non-virgin?

Besides, that matter was something she had been fantasizing about. If she were to live her life like this and not even understand Lan Yao's unrestrained and carefree attitude, wouldn't that leave her with a regret?
By the time she was really indulging in fantasies, Lin Xiaosu had already finished all her work.

With a wave of his hand, a pile of array crystals flew towards the Dragon Cauldron: "Brother Dragon, I'm giving you the three sets of great arrays, plus the instructions on how to use them. I won't get involved any further, so I'll take my leave now!"

With a swift movement, he grabbed Miaoyin, and his body shot straight up into the sky.

Upon reading the instructions for using the Zhou Tian Grand Array, Long Ding was completely dumbfounded. The Zhou Tian Grand Array, rumored to be incredibly powerful, was simply these 108 array crystals before him? Only 108 Enlightenment Realm cultivators were needed to annihilate any creature beneath it? And if the Enlightenment Realm was used as the array's foundation, its destructive power would increase tenfold? Three such arrays could completely cover the seventy-two Dark Domains, and moreover, the Zhou Tian Array could be used to perceive the hidden passages within the seventy-two Dark Domains, thus completely eliminating the troubles of the Ancient Dragon Pool…

He was distracted and didn't even have time to say a final goodbye to Lin Xiaosu.

When he finally withdrew his attention, he saw his sister there, gazing up at the sky at a 45-degree angle.

Tiandu, a place of elegance and refinement in the world.

Tiandu, the head of the three sects, is very close to the immortals, but seems extremely far from the mortal world.

Even though it is the Heavenly Capital City, which interacts with the human world, it still exhibits its unique immortal style.

The mountain is extremely high, and colorful clouds float in the sky.

The water was crystal clear, and the banks were covered with lush vegetation and blooming flowers.

People come and go, and boats cross the river.

A blue oriole flies by in the sky, and a tall man on the oriole looks up at the sky.

The sounds of string and wind instruments drifted from an unknown source.

The path of spiritual practice is long, and the destination is unknown...

"Tiandu, how do we enter?" In an inn, Miaoyin looked up. (End of Chapter)
