Swing the sword at the future female devil

Chapter 444 The Truth About Kunlun Ruins
"Mountain and River Daoist Techniques?!" Bai Taiqing's voice suddenly turned cold. If Duan Huaige's mention of Kunlun Ruins had shocked her, then the four words "Mountain and River Daoist Techniques" were like a cold, sharp knife, piercing deep into her memory!

For the first time, an uncontrollable and intense emotion appeared on her usually aloof and cold face, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"Who...who are you?! How did you learn all this?!" Bai Taiqing's overwhelming aura as the guardian of the Heavenly Domain erupted uncontrollably once more, and her crimson lotus dharma form soared into the sky! She stared intently at Duan Huaige, as if trying to see through him to his very soul!
The Dao of Cause and Effect, Kunlun Ruins, the Dao of Mountains and Rivers... these are the most core and forbidden secrets of the Heavenly Profound Holy Land, yet a mere youth from another realm has revealed them so intimately! This has gone beyond mere coincidence!

Duan Huaige felt the terrifying pressure and was churned again, but his eyes remained firm, even looking at Bai Taiqing with a hint of pity: "How I know is not important. What is important is... I 'saw' a fragment of the future."

“I see you, or rather, your future self, who bears the Dao of Cause and Effect, yet is therefore considered taboo, betrayed and expelled by the sacred land you protect! In the end, you are forcibly sealed within a supreme treasure of the Dao of Mountains and Rivers called the ‘Map of the Land and the State,’ never to be reborn!”

"I'm going to stop! Stop it! Shut up!" Yan Qiuxi shouted from the side. In the surrounding void, countless causal lines of different colors had spread out, as if trying to connect Duan Huaige and Taiqing.

"Duan Huaige, are you crazy? Do you think you can just talk to her about the future here?"

A cultivator at the Taiqing level can even manipulate cause and effect by reflecting back onto themselves, even if it's just an illusion within the long river of time!
Duan Huaige gritted his teeth and remained silent. He was also a practitioner of the Dao of Cause and Effect, so how could he not know that telling Bai Taiqing these shocking things would cause him a lot of trouble, and he might even be directly entangled in the many karmas on Taiqing's body!
But this is a rare opportunity—a chance to understand Taiqing! A chance to decide how to deal with the demoness in the future!

"Shut up!" Bai Taiqing interrupted sharply, clearly not believing Duan Huaige's words.

Betrayal? Exile? Seal?!
Each word struck her Dao heart like a heavy hammer! She had guarded the Heavenly Domain for thirty thousand years, loyal and steadfast, and the Holy Land… really would treat her like this? Could it be… that the Holy Land's higher-ups' attitude towards the Dao of Mountains and Rivers had truly become so obsessive? Would they not even spare her, their guardian?
"Why should I believe you?" Taiqing said calmly, "How do I know you're not here to disturb my Dao heart?"

"I understand now. The place I am in is an illusion? I was simulated by your magic artifact?" Taiqing looked at himself and suddenly laughed, "Interesting. There are actually strange magic artifacts in this world that can completely simulate me into an illusion."

To be able to realize one's true self while trapped in an illusion is an extraordinary level of understanding, bordering on monstrous. After all, the saying "the one involved is often the last to know" is the hardest to refute in this world.

"The Dao of Mountains and Rivers plunders the creation of heaven and earth, and goes against the natural order, so it is intolerable to heaven and earth? And the Dao of Cause and Effect... disrupts the established causal order of the world and interferes with the so-called operation of the Heavenly Dao, so it is also regarded as a great treason? Therefore, those who possess these two Daos are heretics that the Holy Land must eliminate as soon as possible?"

Duan Huaige boldly voiced her guess. Bai Taiqing didn't answer directly, but the deep apprehension in her eyes and her tacit silence were the best answer.

She gazed at the causal incarnations of Duan Huaige and Yan Qiuxi, her eyes filled with complex emotions. This young man not only knew the sacred land's taboos, but seemed to have truly glimpsed some terrifying future. And the female incarnation beside him, possessing genuine causal Dao techniques and even triggering the mysterious mirror light… was the taboo within the taboo!
“Tell me,” Bai Taiqing’s voice deepened, carrying an unprecedented solemnity and inquiry, “the Dao of Mountains and Rivers and the Dao of Cause and Effect… just how much do you still know?”

She needed to ascertain the extent of the threat posed to the Holy Land.

"Tell us about Kunlun Ruins first!"

Taiqing took a deep breath, pondered for a moment, and then released some information: "All I know is that Kunlun Ruins is not a simple passage, but an... ancient battlefield! It connects to all the heavens and myriad realms, with a total of one hundred and eight 'Kunlun Roads'." "Each road leads to a different world!"

"Once, one hundred and eight brilliant immortal realms fought a great battle here, reaching the edge of the universe, even obliterating the Great Dao. All the spiritual energy of the defeated immortal realms was plundered, and finally, the strongest immortal realm was determined. After absorbing the spiritual energy of the one hundred and seven brilliant immortal realms, it achieved the supreme immortal realm."

Yan Qiuxi, who was listening from the side, clicked her tongue in amazement and said, "No, it devoured one hundred and seven immortal realms... how intense must the spiritual energy concentration be... could it have turned into a Nascent Soul monster in one gulp?"

"Wait a minute, the spiritual energy here has been declining and is only now slowly recovering. Could it be because we were defeated in the past?"

Duan Huaige didn't have time to process this massive amount of information, so he silently memorized it and then asked, "Since you say that Kunlun Ruins is the Heavenly Realm, why do you need to guard this ancient battlefield? Is there something inside that wants to climb out?"

“You can understand it this way,” Bai Taiqing said calmly. “The wills of countless extremely powerful beings perished here, and combined with the rules of those strange spiritual objects, they became the Kunlun Ruins Nightmare.”

"Most of them just wander around Kunlun Ruins, but some of them yearn to leave Kunlun Ruins and go to places with abundant spiritual energy to complete the transformation of their life level."

Upon hearing this, Duan Huaige felt a chill run down his spine... There were monsters in Kunlun Ruins, and the imperial army had been digging and digging there. Wouldn't that have already awakened the monsters?
Why aren't they invading Earth? Is it because they think Earth's spiritual energy has only recently begun to recover and isn't high enough?

Just as Duan Huaige was feeling agitated, the blackened Taiqing, who had just been driven out by Yan Qiuxi and Bai Taiqing, regained consciousness. Many scenes from before flashed through his mind, and his face immediately turned extremely cold.

Damn Duan Huaige, your life is over today! Even if it means serious injury, I will destroy your life!

You dare to flirt with me, calling me a slut?

She raised her hand and unleashed her strongest killing move, with the Crimson Lotus Dharma Image and the Heavenly Demon Emperor's Soul Banner appearing simultaneously. The immense power directly overwhelmed the strange phenomena of heaven and earth caused by Yan Qiuxi's newly awakened Dao of Cause and Effect.

"Look, what is that!"

"Soul Banner! Who is refining souls in this sacred Zen Buddhist site?"

Yan Qiuxi, who was under the Dao Stele of Cause and Effect in the distance, naturally noticed Taiqing's appearance. It was clear that this guy had broken his defenses and was planning to attack Duan Huaige's true body in the Red Dust Questioning Cliff in anger!
