How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!

"Hmm, she'll be here soon. Swap clothes with her, and no one will be able to tell the difference."

"Junior brother, I... I really have to speak up. You can't do this! Little Ye hasn't done anything wrong, shouldn't you consider her feelings?" Feng Ji said, "I absolutely refuse to be your tool to bully little Ye. I'll stay at a hotel myself."

"Don't worry, once you meet her, you'll understand."

Soon, a small scooter appeared in front of them.

Feng Ji looked at the little beauty in front of her who looked exactly like her reflection in the mirror, feeling entirely embarrassed, even the 3D mask couldn't hide it.

"Little Ye, I..."

"Hello!" little Ye proactively extended a hand, giving her a gentle shake and a sweet smile.

Feng Ji awkwardly shook hands with her, and suddenly, her heart skipped a beat as she looked at Lin Xiaosu.

"Did you sense it?"

"She's... she's very strange!" Feng Ji said, "Like a person but not quite... No, I'm certain, she's not human!"

"She's a robot!" Lin Xiaosu said, "Little Ye, swap your coat with her and go stay at the hotel."

"Okay!"

The clothes were swapped, little Ye went to the hotel, and Lin Xiaosu rode on the scooter, taking Feng Ji home.

"Junior brother, how... how was she made?" Even with the wind in her face, Feng Ji's voice remained uninterrupted.

"The power of technology." Lin Xiaosu answered simply.

"I find the people from the outside world terrifying. It seems they can make anything, such fast vehicles, such tall buildings, such smooth roads, and even a beautiful girl..." Feng Ji sincerely marveled.

"Now that you know little Ye's identity, will you still call me a scumbag?"

"I didn't know, did I? I don't understand anything about the outside world..." Feng Ji was a bit embarrassed, "Hey, when I meet your parents, how should I address them?"

"Call them Uncle and Auntie!" Lin Xiaosu said, "There are some things to take care of next. You need to adjust your voice to be similar to little Ye's, and learn the most basic ways of interaction... Should we stop and practice these first?"

The road home took over an hour.

Feng Ji had already mastered little Ye's gait and sounded almost identical to her, thanks to the Peeping Heaven Extreme Realm ability, True Qi obeyed her will.

Concerning rural affairs, Feng Ji was very interested and learned quickly.

The scooter arrived home, encountering Second Aunt on their way. Under Lin Xiaosu's telepathic guidance, Feng Ji called out "Second Aunt," and Second Aunt nodded ambiguously.

Feng Ji was a bit puzzled, "Did I address her incorrectly? She seemed a bit unhappy."

"Ahem, as long as the etiquette is there, no need to overthink it..."

He knew why Second Aunt was ambiguous towards little Ye; she always felt little Ye was taking over her family Hu Ya's place...

This situation was too complicated, so Lin Xiaosu decided not to elaborate to Feng Ji.

The scooter entered the courtyard, and his mother came out to greet them, looking very happy...

Feng Ji faced her first challenge.

One must say, her skills honed from roaming the Jianghu were solidly grounded.

Performing as instructed by Lin Xiaosu, she left no gaps.

A person who knew absolutely nothing about this world managed to convincingly portray the feeling of someone who had grown up here.

His mother could not have imagined that this daughter-in-law had swapped once again...

After lunch, Feng Ji and Lin Xiaosu returned to their room.

"Senior sister, your acting skills are just like this." Lin Xiaosu gave her a thumbs up.

"It's all pretend. Inside, I'm actually very nervous..." Feng Ji said, "When Master and the others come over, I should just stay with them."

"Actually, this is the best place for now."

"The best place? Why?" Feng Ji frowned slightly.

"Look over there!" Lin Xiaosu raised his hand, pointing out the window to the mountain, "There, that's the key point where the folded space opens, and that's the real reason I wanted you to stay here."

This room was only about eight hundred meters in a straight line from Liu Lin Temple. Any unusual activity could be clearly detected by their eyesight and qi sensing ability while seated in the room.

This method of surveillance was both covert and effective.

Feng Ji stared at Liu Lin Temple for quite some time, "There's something all the major figures in Kun Cang want to ask you, and I'm wondering if it's convenient for you to say."

Lin Xiaosu smiled, "I know what you're referring to."

"So, is it convenient for you to talk about it? It's okay if it's not." Feng Ji's expression seemed casual, though it was only an appearance.

"There's no inconvenience. When that butterfly first appeared to me, we were together."

Feng Ji's eyes lit up.

The question she wanted to ask was the same one that all of Kun Cang wanted to ask — about that butterfly.

This butterfly was now the true master of Kun Cang.

It appeared on Lin Xiaosu's fingertip.

It called Lin Xiaosu junior brother.

No one knew where Lin Xiaosu had found such a senior brother.

Except for Feng Ji, she at least knew where they met because when they encountered the butterfly, she happened to be in Luanyun Heaven with him.

The butterfly invited them, leading her and Lin Xiaosu to Two Realms Mountain.

In Two Realms Mountain, she learned a technique that combined the essence of Nirvana Swordsmanship into the Reincarnation Sword Way: Other Shore Flower.

Lin Xiaosu told her that his Sword Intent had broken into Qinghua.

But he didn't tell her that he had become a fellow apprentice with this butterfly.

"This butterfly is an ordinary butterfly. It only appears extraordinary because it carries an attached Primordial Spirit. This Primordial Spirit comes from the orphan of the Array Sect. This person is inherently proud and doesn't agree with the family-inherited Array Path but is infatuated with Sword Dao. Renaming himself Jian Wuchen, with one long sword and a body full of pride, he dominated the storms, wearing fine clothes, riding fierce horses, and charming the world..."

A legend from the Otherworld was recounted from his mouth.

Feng Ji's heart was in turmoil.

Young and frivolous, following his own path.

The sudden change in the homeland, parents perished, the Array Sect sacrificed themselves for the path.

Sobered up, returned sword in hand, stepping on the blood of the Array Sect's elders, treading the tragic path that parents and relatives once walked. Finally, he drew a prison on the ground, pouring his own essence and blood into the Array Sect's Great Array, letting all of himself return to the embrace of his relatives.

The abandoned old surname, reclaimed anew.

Proclaiming himself the Dustless Sword, willingly re-stained with dust.

The road he wished to escape as a child, when no one forced him, he chose voluntarily to return, living it with his life.

This was the life path of the lone swordsman who once dominated the storms.

This was also the witness of that stormy era.

This was the Jian Wuchen of the Array Sect back then, and also today's Gu Jian Youchen of Kun Cang.

"Back then, the 'Dustless' represented his grandeur. Today's 'Dusty' represents the heavy burden on his shoulders. Am I understanding this right?" Feng Ji gently breathed out.

"Yes!"

"He actually cannot leave Kun Cang!" Feng Ji said.

"He told the bigwigs of Kun Cang that he secretly observed the performances of the major figures as his strategy. He hoped these big wigs would feel his deterrence and thus not be negligent. But today, I tell the truth, he indeed cannot leave Kun Cang." Lin Xiaosu said.

"You want me to abandon fantasies and face reality."

"Yes!"

"Reality... Reality is that after the third day of the third month, there could possibly be a proliferation of Enlightenment Realm as if bamboo shoots after the rain, sprouting endlessly."

"Yes!"

"There might also appear an Enlightenment God Realm that can suppress Bodily Enlightenment giants with just a wave of their hand, and actually, beside us, there is no such butterfly."

"Yes!"

Feng Ji slowly lifted her gaze: "This is also the first time in my life witnessing the manner of an Enlightenment God. This kind of terror, can we really... face it?"

The scene in Kun Cang was already deeply etched in her mind.

Thinking of the enemy's stance where even the Master is as if an ant when raising a palm, she felt the whole world was bleak.

She, Feng Ji, was never a person of weakness.

Even though her cultivation was still low at the time, the ever-existing stark white bones throughout three cycles of reincarnation seemed to carry innate grandeur.

However, the shadow of that one battle in Kun Cang was enough to shatter anyone's grandeur.

Lin Xiaosu lifted a hand, poured a cup of tea, and placed the teacup in front of Feng Ji, along with a mysterious smile: "Senior Sister, you wouldn't dare believe it, but I once single-handedly killed an Enlightenment God."

Feng Ji's hand lightly trembled, her face full of disbelief: "You? Alone? Are you sure it was an Enlightenment God?"

"The Venerable Hydra Snake has a Primordial Spirit! I didn't use any help, I killed him!" Lin Xiaosu said, "Do you know how I killed him? I destroyed his physical body first, then used the Subdivine Skill to destroy his Primordial Spirit. The whole process wasn't as difficult as imagined."

Feng Ji's eyes flashed with a chaotic light: "I seem to know the real reason. The real reason is that the Enlightenment God you killed was under this Heavenly Dao, and his true self couldn't unleash the Enlightenment Realm battle power. This Heavenly Dao suppresses Enlightenment Gods even more strongly than it does Bodily Enlightenment."

Lin Xiaosu nodded lightly...

That is indeed the case.

The Venerable Hydra Snake possesses a Primordial Spirit. As long as this Primordial Spirit is cultivated by himself, he can be equivalent to an Enlightenment God—Lin Xiaosu is different; his Primordial Spirit wasn't cultivated by him.

But why was he vulnerable in front of Lin Xiaosu?

Why did his actual power fall short to even a one-ten-thousandth of the Luanyun Heavenly Master?

Only because of the environment.

This world is unsuitable for the Enlightenment Realm. Even if he has an Enlightenment Realm cultivation, he cannot exhibit it.

An Enlightenment God Realm unable to exhibit Enlightenment Realm power is severely fragmented.

In terms of true body combat power, it doesn't compare to the invincible Lin Xiaosu under the Enlightenment Realm.

The only hope for a comeback is the Primordial Spirit.

When the Primordial Spirit could no longer withstand Lin Xiaosu, he lost the ability to crush Lin Xiaosu.

Moreover, Lin Xiaosu himself, with both precise and ruthless combat techniques, swiftly obliterated his physical body. Once the physical form was lost, the Primordial Spirit, even if it didn't sever its roots like a secondary deity, was ultimately significantly weakened.

This is the fundamental reason why Lin, when facing Enlightenment God Realm experts twice, had different expressions.

Feng Ji lightly exhaled: "I somewhat understand why you're still full of confidence to this day, because you still believe in this Heavenly Dao. However, didn't you also mention that the Heavenly Dao changes, and perhaps after the third day of the third month, this Heavenly Dao may become suitable for the Enlightenment Realm. On that day, any appearing Enlightenment God could be a Luanyun Heavenly Master!"

"Yes!"

"Then please tell me, where does the new source of confidence lie?"

"The recovery of the Heavenly Dao takes time, so we can boldly assume that those Strange Realm experts emerging from folded space will also range from low to high, and the first wave to come out might only reach the level of Bodily Enlightenment. For Bodily Enlightenment, we already have certain countermeasures on our side."

"Currently, Kun Cang has seventy-nine Bodily Enlightenment entities, which can indeed withstand one wave... But what about later? What if the Enlightenment Gods come? What about Enlightenment Rules or even the Realm of Mastery?"

"Enlightenment God, Enlightenment Rules, Realm of Mastery..." Lin Xiaosu said, "Perhaps we can only borrow a line from an ancient poem: 'Each generation has its talented persons, each surpassing the previous one.'"
