The stolen magic is a bit magical

In such situations, certain rules apply.

The order in which they appear is significant: first the gate, then the path, then the sect, and finally Cang Yuan.

However, even though Cang Yuan had arrived, the Demonic Sect's spot remained vacant...

"Something has changed within the Demonic Sect..." Sikong Changhe uttered six words, then hesitated slightly.

"What kind of change?" Elder Cangyuan asked in a deep voice.

A voice rang out: "Demon Lord, he died at my hands on the first day of the Lunar New Year this year. He can't come. I will take his place!"

From the source of the sound, a figure in snow-white clothing strolled over.

Everyone looked up at the same time and saw Lin Xiaosu.

Lin Xiaosu walked through the air as if strolling leisurely in a pavilion, taking three steps at a time until she reached the first chair on the right.

The Holy Maiden of a Thousand Spirits was greatly surprised.

Her father suddenly looked up.

They knew that the Demon Lord had become enemies with Lin Xiaosu because of the Spirit Clan's plan to change their race.

He was worried that today, the Demon Lord would do anything to ruin his grand plan.

However, Lin Xiaosu's very first appearance revealed a shocking secret to everyone... The Demon Lord had already died at his hands on the first day of the Lunar New Year!
That one sentence caused a stir in the entire audience!
All eyes were on Lin Xiaosu's face.

The Grand Elder Cangyuan's voice was deep and resonant: "You killed the Demon Lord?"

"Yes!" Lin Xiaosu lightly dusted off his clothes and sat down calmly. "I have already warned him not to provoke me, but he was oblivious and insisted on kidnapping my friend from another realm. I had no choice but to kill him as a warning to others!"

The audience was silent.

The entire sky was completely silent.

The Demon Lord, a super-powerful being who had taken that step, died at his hands!
This single message was enough to elevate Lin Xiaosu, this young human, to the same level as the Nineteen Heavenly Beams.

Because the Demon Lord who died at his hands was the head of the Nine Gates!

"The invitation extended to you by the Commander of the Capital is also at my suggestion!" Lin Xiaosu's gaze swept across the entire room: "Next September 19th, the gate between the two worlds will open. I would like to know the true thoughts of you all, the pillars of heaven, and how you will deal with that other world?"

To get straight to the point.

Face the future head on.

The Lord of Time and Space smiled faintly: "So what you want to discuss is that sinful land! What room is there for discussion? Haven't we, the Heavenly Beam, already reached a consensus?"

"Oh?" Lin Xiaosu's gaze locked onto his eyes: "May I ask what kind of consensus you have?"

The Lord of Time and Space's gaze also fell upon him: "Cleanse him! With the full force of Heavenly Dao and cause and effect! Does Your Highness still harbor illusions?"

Their conversation spread throughout the entire venue.

The people of Tiandu looked at each other in bewilderment.

Is this how explosive the start is?
No hiding anything, just a direct and honest showdown.

Lin Xiaosu sneered: "Just because you broke into that world a million years ago and took whatever you wanted from its inhabitants, that world couldn't afford to offend you and wanted to hide. So you created the Zhou Tian Grand Array to sever the connection between heaven and earth. You couldn't take whatever you wanted from them, and you actually considered it a sin. A million years later, this hatred still hasn't disappeared. You even want to destroy that world to wash away the stain of your setback back then. Everyone... don't you think that's going a bit too far?"

The Lord of Karma spoke: "Your Highness Prince Ding's words are those of a commoner, unbecoming of a sage of the Dao! That land, the land of the Dharma's decline, is inhabited by people beyond the reach of civilization. Our ancestors taught them the Dao of Heaven, giving them the opportunity to share in its blessings. Yet those people beyond the reach of civilization do not recognize kindness, repaying good with evil, obstructing the Dao of Heaven, and even killing our followers and severing our path. How can such evil deeds not be sins? The calamity we face today is all due to karma!"

Lin Xiaosu felt a surge of anger and turned her icy gaze toward the two Dao Masters.

The two Dao Lords looked at him coldly, their expressions filled with disdain...

Feng Ji, the Lord of the Cycle of Reincarnation, spoke: "Both of you Lords keep talking about the Heavenly Dao, but do you even know what the Heavenly Dao is? ... The Heavenly Dao is inherently benevolent! Yet you destroy worlds at will, where is your benevolence?"

The Lord of Time and Space turned his gaze to Feng Ji: "I've heard that the Reincarnation Path was broken into because of His Highness Prince Ding, so why are you so determined to stand on his side?"

"Not only did he assist the Path of Reincarnation in breaking through to the Dao, but also, Lin Xiaosu is the husband of this Dao Master!" Feng Ji said, "No matter when or where, the Path of Reincarnation under my command will advance and retreat together with my husband!"

"Haha, will the Cycle of Reincarnation advance and retreat with him? No matter when, no matter where, and no matter what the reason?" the Lord of Time and Space laughed.

"Yes!"

"What if he defies the will of Heaven? Will you also stake the entire Cycle of Reincarnation on him?" The Lord of Time and Space's smile vanished.

Feng Ji sneered: "Guess?!"

The Lord of Time and Space turned his gaze to Elder Cangyuan.

Elder Cangyuan's face was gloomy. He gave a cold laugh and said, "Alright, everyone, please give your opinions!"

Upon hearing this, the hearts of the five Dao Lords among the Six Paths jumped simultaneously.

The Lord of Time and Space is still cunning; the Lord of Reincarnation's words have already aroused Cang Yuan's disgust.

Now, Elder Cangyuan has spoken up, asking everyone to express their opinions.

It is foreseeable that anyone who sides with Lin Xiaosu at this time will not have a good ending.

The balance of power in the world will be completely reshuffled after this meeting.

The cycle of reincarnation is the first to be affected!
Cangyuan can eliminate the Way of the Heart, so who says he cannot eliminate the Way of Reincarnation?

As for the seven gates below, we'll see if they behave themselves...

"Let me speak!" the Spirit Clan Chief said. "In terms of age, I am older than everyone here. I have witnessed countless cataclysmic events in my life. Please forgive my bluntness, but to bully the weak in the name of education is contrary to the will of Heaven. To take advantage of a small world under the guise of 'letting a small world be bathed in the light of Heaven' is utterly disgusting! I do not wish to dwell on the past, but today, if anyone dares to extend a poisonous hand to the Great Xia Realm again, the Spirit Ruins under my command will not stand idly by. Even if the entire clan perishes, I will tell you all, the Heavenly Beams, that the Heavenly Way you uphold has deviated from its true purpose!"

Upon hearing this, Elder Cangyuan's gaze turned icy as he stared intently at the Spirit Clan Chief.

This single glance signaled that the Spirit Race's desire to fill the gap in the Nine Gates was essentially hopeless.

"The Ancient Sect doesn't actually need to make a statement!" Gu Suixin leaned lazily against the huge armchair: "I have already made a promise with Brother Lin that the day I emerge from seclusion will be the day we fight side by side! Today, my father has authorized me to stand with Brother Lin. Anyone who dares to invade Brother Lin's homeland, my Ancient Divine Ruins may well let them taste the bitterness of annihilation!"

"My Dragon Clan has nothing to say!" The Dragon Lord slowly leaned forward: "His Highness Prince Ding killed the Demon Lord for my daughter, and afterwards he gave three sets of the Zhou Tian Grand Formation to help my Dragon Palace wipe out the transgressing demons. My Dragon Clan is clear about gratitude and grudges, and the entire clan will fight for His Highness Prince Ding!"

"The Cycle of Reincarnation, the Spirit Race, the Ancient Gate, the Dragon Gate..." Elder Cangyuan smiled faintly: "I must admit that His Highness Prince Ding's methods are truly astonishing. In just two short years, he has already laid such a solid foundation in the Desolate Ancient World. Not bad, truly astonishing!"

"Shall we, the Beast Taming Sect, also say something?" a voice suddenly rang out...

Elder Cangyuan nodded: "Sect Master Weng, please!"

The voice is quite gentle.

Because he knew that the Beast Taming Sect was Lin Xiaosu's enemy.

As the "one" in the cultivation path for tens of thousands of years, Elder Cangyuan is used to standing on a high platform, looking down on all living beings, and is not very willing to participate in specific disputes. He urgently needs some dissenting voices.

Now, dissenting voices have emerged.

Beast Taming Gate.

The sect leader spoke up: "In my opinion, what the Lord of Reincarnation said is the truth. The Way of Heaven is inherently benevolent, and Heaven also has the virtue of cherishing life. How dare these ignorant and inhumane rats talk about the Way of Heaven? Therefore, I will use all the power of the Beast Taming Sect to support His Highness Prince Ding in sweeping away all invading demons and monsters, and let these scum taste the bitterness of their homeland being destroyed!"

"You..." The Lord of Time and Space could not believe his ears.

Elder Cangyuan's eyes widened suddenly as he looked at the Beast Taming Sect Master in astonishment.

Even the Thousand Spirit Saintess and Feng Ji exchanged bewildered glances: "What's going on? The Beast Taming Sect has actually sided with him?"

"This...this is absolutely impossible! Unless..."

"Unless this sect leader is not the Beast Taming Sect Leader!"

Lin Xiaosu's voice drifted into the Beastmaster's ears: "Big Yellow, well done!"

The Beastmaster rolled his eyes and said, "I've uttered such a disgusting declaration of justice for you, brat, and you still dare to call me Big Yellow..."

Two sentences of dialogue.

To announce something unbelievable.

That is, the current Beast Taming Sect Master is no longer the original Weng Menlie, but Da Huang!

After Da Huang, the former leader of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, completely destroyed the sect, he found a substitute, the leader of the Beast Taming Sect...

Meanwhile, Changye, disguised as an elder of the Beast Taming Sect, stood behind Dahuang and had already conveyed a message to Lin Xiaosu...

"Cough!" A soft cough.

As one person slowly raised their head.

All eyes were drawn to this person, who was none other than Hong Fei, the former leader of the Heart Gate and the former Daoist Hong Fei.

The moment he looked up, everyone's most sensitive nerves were completely activated.

If there is one person who would naturally stand on the opposite side of Lin Xiaosu, then that person is undoubtedly Hongfei.

Because his inner path was destroyed by Lin Xiaosu.

If we talk about hatred on the path of cultivation, the hatred that destroys the path is the ultimate of all hatreds.

How could Hongfei not hate him?
Now it's finally time to launch a counterattack...

Hongfei slowly raised his gaze and stared at Lin Xiaosu, who was also staring back at him…

His eyes were filled with complex emotions.

Hongfei spoke: "I too have died once, having circled the line of death and returned with much enlightenment. Even we cultivators cherish our lives, how can ordinary people not? You all speak of the Heavenly Dao so readily, but do you know what the Heavenly Dao means to the seven billion people of the Great Xia Realm? Their Heavenly Dao is that their homes remain undisturbed and their loved ones live! I advise you all to accept your fate and not disturb the peace of that world!"

His voice carried a unique, captivating quality.

His expression was one of compassion and empathy.

However, everyone stared at him as if they had seen a ghost.

Yes, even the melodious sounds and cold mist above the misty peaks have a ghostly feel to them...

How can it be?

Even Xin Dao supports him?
Elder Cangyuan's gaze slowly turned to him: "You...you support him?"

“Yes, if I don’t support him, would I support you?” Hongfei sneered: “Although I have let go of the knot in my heart that Cangyuan destroyed my Dao, I have not forgotten the danger of walking on the line between life and death.”

"Have you ever considered that your 'Heart's Path to Elimination' was actually orchestrated by this Prince Ding?" The Second Elder behind the First Elder couldn't hold back any longer.

Hongfei frowned slightly: "Second Elder, do you mean that Cang Yuan is actually quite stupid? That he actually became a pawn in Prince Ding's hands?"

The second elder was speechless.

How do you expect him to answer that?

Cang Yuan was indeed used as a pawn by Lin Xiaosu, but would she openly admit that Cang Yuan was stupid in such a situation?
The Grand Elder's face was ashen.

The rest of the people fell silent.

Only Lin Xiaosu heard Hongfei's voice transmission: "I didn't see any surprise on your face."

A chuckle from Lin Xiaosu echoed back: "It was expected. Does the professor think I need to be surprised?"

professor!

Hongfei's face stiffened: "I believe that I am no different from the former Daoist Hongfei in terms of aura and appearance, and I have no resemblance to the former Lin Weiyang. How did you see that?"

“Moon Lotus!” Lin Xiaosu said, “You can’t conceal the aura of the Moon Lotus before me! Sensing this aura, combined with the Six-Eared Left-Handed Sword I saw on your desk at Baishan Residence that day, and considering your current identical aura and cultivation level to Hongfei, I have a bold guess.” “What?”

"You are Hongfei's corpse that has severed the Dao!"

Lin Weiyang sighed deeply: "Lin Xiaosu, Lin Xiaosu, are you really able to see through all the secrets?"

"Understanding secrets isn't necessarily a bad thing. At least today, you and I can achieve our true goal of walking together without any obstacles!"

Lin Weiyang's heart skipped a beat.

Walking together on the same path, there are no obstacles?
Will it really be completely barrier-free?

His decision to side with Lin Xiaosu at this moment was based on his understanding of her.

When this guy reveals his hand, he's bound to win.

Since he's going to win, why should I stand in the wrong position?
However, as he took that step, he still felt uncertain...

Because he knew that the greatest obstacle was Cang Yuan!
What is the "one" on the path of spiritual practice?
Can it really clean?

"Qingmen, what's your opinion?" Elder Cangyuan turned his gaze to Qingmen.

Lin Xiaosu also turned her gaze to this legendary sect leader.

He had heard of this person before.

On his journey to the south of the Yangtze River, he saved a man named Cui Hao. A year ago, Cui Hao was a cultivator who knew nothing, but a year later, he had reached the Heavenly Sighting Realm.

This person had received a great favor from him and wanted to serve under Lin Xiaosu. Lin Xiaosu refused and gave him a task: If one day you see your master, act as a matchmaker and let me meet him.

There are only two reasons why he is so interested in Cui Hao's master.

Firstly, to conquer the Desolate Ancient Realm, he needed to delve into its highest level, and his master, the Three-Character Daoist, was from the Green Sect.

Secondly, this Taoist priest with three words possesses great supernatural powers. He only speaks three words a day, yet he can enable an ordinary person to gain insight into the heavens within a year.

But Cui Hao never sent him a message.

Now he vaguely guessed the reason...

The Three-Character Taoist was actually the leader of the Green Gate. As the leader of a sect, one cannot act impulsively when considering matters. He was a sensitive figure and was wary of him, and was unwilling to get to know him well.

Now, he meets the Three-Character Taoist for the first time. Let's see what his attitude is.

However, when confronted by Elder Cangyuan's direct call to name, the Three-Character Daoist seemed oblivious to everything around him.

Grand Elder Cangyuan waited for ten seconds, everyone waited for ten seconds, but the Three-Character Daoist still hadn't woken up...

Grand Elder Cangyuan turned his gaze toward the Demon Sect...

The Demon Sect Master, Black Mountain Demon Ancestor, frowned deeply, gazing into the distance beyond the sky, his demonic aura seemingly completely sealed off.

The Demon Emperor spoke: "I do not represent the Demon Sect, nor anyone else, but only myself to say a few words from the heart! I wonder if you would be willing to hear them?"

The group looked at each other, but no one spoke.

The Demon Emperor said, "I was originally just a flower demon, with weak martial arts and often bullied. I know the sorrow of being weaker than others and the pain of my people suffering. As the saying goes in the human world, do not do to others what you would not have them do to you! Even though the people of the Great Xia Realm are in the Land of Dharma Decline and have not been bathed in the Holy Light of Heaven, it is still their world. We cultivators should be more merciful and not commit the evil of bullying the weak!"

His words carried considerable weight.

The impact on top-level experts is extremely great.

He is not human; he is a demon.

The demon race quoted the words of a human sage: "Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you!"
What do you expect the great human beings to think?
If powerful human beings do not possess a compassionate heart, are they not even as good as demons?
Lin Xiaosu stood up: "Thank you, Your Majesty the Demon Emperor!"

The Demon Emperor rose to return the greeting.

The two demons beside him were a pair of sisters.

Moon Demon and her older sister.

The Moon Demon gazed at her beloved, her once untouched bright eyes now sparkling with boundless brilliance, tinged with the tender glow of the moon.

On the peak of Yanfeng, Hanyan stared blankly at the person who had traveled with her that day, lost in thought.

She had worried that this notorious womanizer, Su, would abduct her best friend, but now it seemed that it wasn't just her best friend; even a powerful demon emperor had been seduced by him…

The Holy Maiden of the Thousand Spirits felt her blood boiling, and a voice reached out to Feng Ji: "The lone traveler of that day is no longer alone on this path. Perhaps this is the meaning of his two years of wandering in the desolate ancient lands."

"The true power of humanity lies in the unity of the people. In just two years, the Nine Gates have been integrated. From this moment on, the Ancient Cultivation Path has formed two factions. Humanity is no longer the sole force supporting the entire cultivation path! He has always put the true meaning of humanity into practice with concrete actions! This is where he surpasses the greatest human emperor of the past, Emperor Xin!" Feng Ji's voice was also filled with excitement.

In the past, Emperor Xin, the human emperor, held a three-character bone book, lit the lamp of humanity, wrote the true law of humanity, and suppressed the nine heavens and ten earths.

However, under his banner, there is only humanity.

Today, Lin Xiaosu commands not only a large human army, but also half of the cultivation world, and even more demons.

This is where he surpasses the former Emperor Xin...

This is probably the true meaning of Lin Xiaosu's two years of traveling through the desolate ancient lands: it is not about finding many valuable helpers, but about breaking through the boundaries of "humanity"!

"Hehe! Hahaha..." The Lord of Time and Space laughed loudly: "The Nine Gates of yesteryear have truly fallen under the rule of the Prince of Ding! Fortunately, this Heavenly Dao World is not ruled by gates! Let each Dao make its statement!"

The Lord of Cause and Effect was the first to chime in: "The law of cause and effect dictates that today's consequences are the result of yesterday's causes. This land of sin must be cleansed!"

The Lord of Chaos nodded: "Indeed, if sins are not cleared, how can the light of Heaven's Dao be revealed?"

The Yin-Yang Dao Master said, "Heaven and earth are divided into Yin and Yang, and everything should be natural. How can a land of sins be outside the way of heaven?"

The Lord of Life said, "Heaven and earth are reconstructed, the Great Dao is born, life will not be destroyed, but will only reincarnate. If Your Highness Prince Ding cannot comprehend this, will the Lord of Reincarnation teach your husband?"

The five Dao Masters all expressed their opinions.

Everyone was terrified.

Originally, with the Nine Gates expressing their stance, Lin Xiaosu seemed to have gained popular support. However, a single sentence from the Lord of Time and Space changed the tide, and the other five sects followed suit, clearly stating their positions.

The tide turned in an instant.

After all, the Nine Gates are just gates, while the Five Paths are paths.

Elder Cangyuan nodded slightly: "And what about the three sects? What is their attitude?"

Three sects!

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

This is the fourth step of the Heavenly Beam, the top level of the cultivation world.

The Nine Gates can basically be defined by having three gates, or even a false gate.

All six Dao Lords are true Daoists, with the Heart Dao being the only exception. However, the Heart Dao Lord, Hongfei, although a fake Daoist, has taken "that step" and is on par with the true Daoists.

The three sects all have a sect leader who has mastered at least two of the three laws, and all of them have taken that step.

As for the Lord of Cangyuan, he naturally cultivates all seven methods simultaneously, and has also taken that step...

Each level is overwhelmingly superior to the level below it.

Any one of the six paths can crush the nine gates.

Any one of the three sects can crush the Six Paths.

The Cangyuan Abyss alone could crush the Three Sects, the Six Paths, and the Nine Gates...

"Amitabha!" The Buddha spoke in the standard manner of a high-ranking Buddhist monk, raising his eyes with boundless compassion: "Your Highness Prince Ding is attached to appearances!"

"Attached to appearances?" Lin Xiaosu narrowed her eyes slightly.

"All beings are but appearances, their birth and death are natural. Millions of years ago, where did the beings of the Great Xia come from? Millions of years from now, where will the beings of the Great Xia come from? The birth and death of beings is the norm. Why cling to a moment or a lifetime?" The Buddha said, "Why doesn't Your Highness Prince Ding let go of your attachments?"

The Holy Maiden of a Thousand Spirits was furious.

She went to Puji Temple with Lin Xiaosu.

She knew that Lin Xiaosu had made a deal with the underworld.

He offered the Zhou Tian Grand Array to help the Lord of the Underworld control the Underworld in exchange for the Lord of the Underworld's promise. But now, at the most solemn and serious meeting, this old bald monk is actually advising him to let go of his obsession. Is he going back on his word?

Lin Xiaosu stared at the Buddha: "Back then, I, the King, helped the Lord of the Underworld manage the Underworld with the Zhou Tian Grand Formation, in exchange for your promise. Does the Lord of the Underworld intend to betray that oath today?"

The Buddha smiled and said, "I promised you that I would not bring you harm when the great calamity comes. I will never break this promise!"

"Is it really not against the rules?"

The Buddha said, "Your Highness, you must first understand what constitutes a calamity! In my opinion, knowingly doing something that is impossible is a great calamity caused by obsession. I advise Your Highness to let go of your obsession; isn't that the way to avoid disaster?"

"Shameless!" The Thousand Spirit Saintess took a step forward...

Lin Xiaosu gently raised her hand, stopping the attack from a distance.

His gaze slowly fell on the Lord of the Manor, and he suddenly smiled softly: "Lord of the Manor plays with words, indeed the Buddhists are good at arguing, but does the Lord of the Manor know that before I made a deal with you, I had already guessed that you would play with words?"

The Holy Maiden of a Thousand Spirits was startled...

Everyone was startled at the same time...

The Buddha raised his eyes and smiled: "Is that so?"

“A million years ago, in my world, it wasn’t just the Heavenly Dao cultivators who slaughtered all living beings. The ones who brought even greater calamity to all living beings were the Earth Race. Do you think I would be so naive as to believe that you demons from the abyss would suddenly change your blood-drinking nature a million years from now?”

The Buddha smiled and asked, "So, Your Highness Prince Ding, you still want to make a deal with this old monk?"

"You think that I traveled thousands of miles to give you a Zhou Tian Grand Array just so you could better control the underground races and make it easier for you to slaughter my compatriots? You're wrong! You don't understand the Dao of Arrays, and you don't understand strategy!" Lin Xiaosu said coldly, "I gave you the Zhou Tian Grand Array only to use you as a tool to personally build an array platform to destroy the underground races!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly flipped his hand over.

In the void, a battle platform appeared out of thin air.

On the platform, 360 base points shimmered with a mysterious light.

The Buddha's expression suddenly changed...

This is the very foundation of the Zhou Tian Grand Formation!

He knew it intimately, and it had always been under his sole control.

However, the fact that this array platform now appeared in Lin Xiaosu's hands signifies something. It means that Lin Xiaosu had left a backdoor in the construction of this Zhou Tian Grand Array! He instantly sensed an extremely dangerous aura…

"Destroy!"

Lin Xiaosu uttered a single word coldly.

A streak of light pierced through the void array platform, and within the void, a huge rift opened out of thin air, revealing a mysterious underground world.

In the underground world, everything was turned upside down in an instant.

The azure light, like a raging storm, swept across an unknown distance of underground space, leveling mountains and rivers and wiping out all living things in its wake...

The expressions of all the top experts present changed simultaneously.

Everyone stood up at the same time. (End of Chapter)
