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

The Mad Taoist cast his gaze to the sky: "It seems that this Heavenly Dao is truly incomplete. Li Dapao pointed at the nose of Heavenly Dao, cursing its ancestors for eighteen generations, and yet the Heavenly Dao did not hear. Venerable Wu Liang Shou, this is really not a good sign..."

Li Qianzong looked at the sky and shrank his neck.

Just a moment ago, in a fit of anger, he feared nothing. But now, thinking back, he seemed a bit apprehensive...

Lin Xiaosu laughed heartily: "Senior Li, remember the contents of the treaty clearly, strike with all your might! If you let anyone cross the border, then you violate the words 'with all your might,' and you will still suffer the consequences."

"Scram!" Li Qianzong exhaled forcefully, a wave of air like a tide blowing the Mad Taoist and Lin Xiaosu hundreds of miles away...

In the blink of an eye, the two returned to the original battlefield.

The battlefield had already been cleaned up.

The corpses had been dealt with, lessening the intensity of the battlefield's carnage somewhat.

Hua Miaoyi held Feng Ji's hand, and behind her were the nine masters of the Enlightenment Realm. Seeing the Mad Taoist descend from the sky, everyone bowed in unison: "Senior!"

This was the etiquette of the Cultivation Path.

But the Mad Taoist looked like he was beyond help, simply waving his hand and going to one side.

He ceded the main position to Lin Xiaosu.

Lin Xiaosu spoke: "All the seniors of Kun Cang, before I left Kun Cang, I promised you that upon leaving, I'd fight to the death. The Hidden Dragon Society will provide recompense. This folded space is rich in Qi and offers some benefits to cultivators. If you are willing to establish a sect here, feel free to choose your own spot. The Fierce Beast Primordial Crystals obtained in this battle, the weapons and supplies on the enemies, the residual manuals, and resources from the Haoyuan Sect, apart from a small amount retained for Hidden Dragon research, the rest can be allocated by fellow cultivators of Kun Cang as you see fit."

The nine giants behind Hua Miaoyi's hearts collectively raced.

As giants on the Cultivation Path, they naturally knew how valuable the items he casually mentioned were. The Primordial Crystals of Silver Mountain Bei, rich in Qi, useful for cultivation, and the equipment and resources from disciples of a super sect like the Haoyuan Sect far exceeded those of Kun Cang, let alone the sect's foundations. Even if struck by a nuclear bomb, not much could be expected above ground, but there were always some remnants. The foundations left by a super sect are something no one would want to abandon.

In this battle, Lin Xiaosu was undoubtedly the leader.

His role on the battlefield was the greatest.

Without him, none of them would even have their lives.

So, if distributed according to Jianghu rules, based on merit, the most essential things should naturally belong to him.

However, this young man is truly magnanimous.

Apart from leaving some things for Hidden Dragon research, everything else is given to them.

Yet, everyone thought of a problem. This young man's generosity, giving them almost everything and allowing them to establish a sect here, could he have another intention, wanting them to stay here forever, guarding this portal?

Generally, people wouldn't say what they thought, but Li Changjiang, being straightforward, directly said: "Young Master Lin, are you intending for us to permanently reside here and guard this portal?"

"I indeed have this intention!" Lin Xiaosu said: "Besides you, on the other side of the Hao Yuan Ruins, there are also people guarding."

Hua Miaoyi's heart jumped fiercely: "And...senior guardians?"

"Yes!"

"On behalf of Shenghua Valley, I will establish a mountain gate here, named Shenghua Villa." Hua Miaoyi smiled slightly.

"I would like to as well!"

"Me too!"

"The Heaven and Earth Essence here is a hundred times richer than Kun Cang, and having such an opportunity, naturally one should establish a sect here!"

In an instant, everyone agreed.

There was no dissent.

Why?

Just because of Lin Xiaosu's last sentence, that on the other side of the Hao Yuan Ruins, another master is guarding.

Who is the master?

It is naturally the old Taoist before them.

This old Taoist is clearly at the pinnacle of the Enlightenment Realm, possibly even higher.

With him guarding, there's no worry for this folded space.

Everyone was concerned about the intrusion from the Desolate Ancient Realm; with merely these thirteen sects, they couldn't hold it, and would be throwing their lives away.

But with this powerful Taoist, killing those in the Enlightenment of God and Enlightenment Rules is as simple as slaughtering chickens. So why fear anything?

No one thought that the guardian Lin Xiaosu referred to was not the Mad Taoist.

It's simply because the Mad Taoist's combat power is limited.

He can only strike at most two more times; just two waves of enemies coming, and he's done...

"Feng Ji, say goodbye to him. Sister is going to find you a place for closed-door cultivation." Hua Miaoyi pushed Feng Ji lightly towards Lin Xiaosu, then moved to a peak on the left.

There, she chose the main peak of Shenghua Villa.

The other sect leaders also began to find places they liked.

Lin Xiaosu walked towards Feng Ji.

At this moment, Feng Ji wore her Ghost Mask again.

Her eyes were filled with boundless joy.

Lin Xiaosu reached out gently, grasping her hand. Feng Ji held his hand back, a bit lightly, but very firmly.

"Senior sister, shall we walk?"

"Mm!"

The two strolled up the adjacent hillside, where ancient trees were densely packed, obstructing their surroundings.

It was before dawn, in the distant east, a streak of bright white was forming.

But the initial sunlight had yet to pierce this stretch of sky and earth.

Lin Xiaosu gently pulled, drawing Feng Ji into his embrace, holding her tightly, very tightly.

Feng Ji's tears almost came out.

She could feel Lin Xiaosu's passion.

This was a passion lost and found.

In truth, not only did he lose and find it again.

She was the same.

The moment she forcibly opened the Reincarnation Sect, she thought the next time she would see him would be in the next reincarnation. Who knew the wheel of destiny had changed, and she didn't die!

He was still the husband she could embrace.

"Senior sister, don't be like this in the future!" Lin Xiaosu said softly.

"Hmm!"

Lin Xiaosu cupped her face and gently removed her Ghost Mask...

Feng Ji's hand suddenly lifted up, grabbing the Ghost Mask to prevent him from taking it off.

"I have already seen your face—a real beauty."

"Then... then you just remember that face in your heart." Feng Ji was anxious.

That face was her face after the Reincarnation Seal left. Without the Reincarnation Seal, although she didn't know what she looked like herself, it must be much better-looking than with the Reincarnation Seal. She hoped her husband would only remember the best version of her appearance. She dared not present the current Reincarnation Seal restored look to him.

"But what if I want to kiss you?" Lin Xiaosu said.

"You little rascal, so annoying... Come!" Feng Ji took off half of her Ghost Mask, letting her lips meet his, gently teasing and softly rubbing.

Throughout the process, her Ghost Mask always covered Lin Xiaosu's face.

The basic principle was: if you want to kiss, I let you; if you want to go deeper, I let you; but I won't let you see my face...

Of course, deeper connections are definitely not appropriate today.

Three places in the folded space broke the realm. Lin Xiaosu needed to leave this space immediately to obtain the first-hand information in a signal-receiving area outside.

And Feng Ji urgently needed to meditate.

So, within just ten minutes, Feng Ji put on her Ghost Mask again and went to meet Hua Miaoyi.

Lin Xiaosu went down the slope, and beneath the night, there were two more people.

Dawa and Saintess Qian Ling.

Saintess Qian Ling lightly smiled: "You're leaving, aren't you?"

"Yes, you?"

"The atmosphere of this Heaven and Earth full of Essence is very suitable for my recovery. I'll temporarily settle here." Saintess Qian Ling said: "Dawa has a very crazy idea. I am a bit unsure whether to persuade her or encourage her. You make a decision."

Oh?

A crazy idea?

What is it?

Lin Xiaosu looked towards Dawa.

Dawa said: "Brother, I want to go to the Hao Yuan Ruins over there."

Lin Xiaosu's heart jumped sharply: "You want to use nuclear radiation to practice cultivation?"

"Partly yes, but not entirely!" Dawa said: "The place used to be full of life, but now it's dead and gloomy. It should be the best place for feelings about life and death."

"But the concentration of nuclear radiation there is unusual. Don't rush to go there first. I'll make an arrangement with number 8 and have him send a group of robots there first to gather some data before making a decision."

"No need!" Dawa lightly smiled: "Brother said that Dawa is the moon! No matter where I am, this moon will always shine. I promise you!"

"Then... delve slowly, don't be too hasty." Lin Xiaosu said.

"I'll listen to brother!" Dawa lightly smiled, turning into light smoke, heading Northwest.

Lin Xiaosu raised his gaze, looking at her back.

"Maybe you don't need to worry too much. She cultivates the Death Rules, and the more death-prone the place, the more she can thrive." Saintess Qian Ling said.

"Alright! I need to go now."

"Let me walk you out!" Saintess Qian Ling said.

They crossed last night's fierce battlefield, seemingly returning from the illusionary world to the real world.

In front was Liu Lin Temple, familiar scenery.

However, behind were vast mountains, entirely unfamiliar scenery. Lin Xiaosu gently sighed: "My hometown has changed like this. It may take a long time for the townsfolk to adapt, from a small eight-line county to suddenly expanding tens of thousands of square kilometers."

"This is just one folded space. Once all folded spaces are completely opened, once the space inside the folded space gradually releases, the whole earth might really expand tenfold, hundredfold." Saintess Qian Ling said.

"From now on, the change of the world, each step might be unrecognizable to us."

Saintess Qian Ling stepped onto the hillside, slowly turning back: "No matter what, the promises made that day still count, no matter how many thousands of miles, you and I are ultimately fellow travelers."

"We've already shared the snow today; we might as well grow old together in this life!" Lin Xiaosu lightly smiled.

Saintess Qian Ling smiled sweetly: "I was really worried you'd lose your true self after experiencing the fierce battle, but now I see I was worrying too much; you are still quite the charming one! Off I go..."

Saintess Qian Ling lightly tapped her feet, returning through the grass.

As she passed by Lin Xiaosu closely, a thread of voice reached his ear: "Don't look back at me. There's a little girl hiding over there, and I feel like she's looking to settle scores with you."

Lin Xiaosu raised his gaze and saw the shadow behind the tree. Yes, the light from Liu Lin Temple cast a shadow.

A few steps forward, he saw Hu Ya.

Hu Ya clasped her arms around her chest, a face evidently ready for a reckoning.
