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

Chapter 612: Refusing the Kindling Lamp



"Leave something behind!" Lu Yun said, "The spiritual section of the Three-character Bone Book's Human Volume, you must leave it!"

Lin Xiaosu lowered his gaze, looking at Lu Yun.

Lu Yun smiled gently, "Tens of millions of heroic spirits are summoned by the spiritual bone section. This bone is the root of summoning. You need to leave it within the borders of Daxia so the heroic spirits have roots."

Lin Xiaosu nodded slightly.

"Have you thought of where to place it?" Lu Yun asked.

"Does the Taoist have any suggestions?"

Lu Yun said, "There is a place, the Qianlong Headquarters."

Lin Xiaosu smiled lightly, "I thought the Taoist would suggest leaving it in the Three Realms."

"I originally had this idea, but after seeing the heroic spirits fighting this time, I changed my mind," Lu Yun said.

"Why?"

"Because I think they actually don't want to reside in the high halls of the Three Realms. They prefer to stay in the vast landscapes beneath their feet. This is probably the difference between this generation of heroic spirits and those of ancient times!"

Ancient heroic spirits were the outstanding talents of their tribes, the children of noble families. Although they were heroic spirits, they did not shed the habits of being noble descendants, accustomed to being in high halls.

But this generation of heroic spirits, they were originally the children of farmers. They prefer the vast landscapes beneath their feet, and if you place them in high halls, they instead dislike it.

Lin Xiaosu sighed deeply, "It's still the Taoist who understands them... Let's do as the Taoist suggests!"

Lu Yun gently lifted the lamp in his hand, "You are about to start a long journey... This lamp, I give it to you!"

This lamp was handed to Lin Xiaosu.

Lin Xiaosu did not reach out, shaking his head gently.

Lu Yun said, "I have nothing else to give you; only this lamp. Please accept it!"

"No need!" Lin Xiaosu gently pushed back, "This lamp, let's leave it in the Three Realms."

"You don't know the wonders of this lamp. This lamp..."

"I know its wonders," Lin Xiaosu said. "With the Kindling Lamp in hand, no one below the state of 'Holding' can harm me. Even if severely injured, I can be reborn from a drop of blood. Even placed in the Ancient Great World, it is an unparalleled exotic treasure that countless sects would compete for."

"Since you know, then why not accept it?"

"For one reason, it... is ultimately not my lamp!"

Lu Yun looked at him for a long time, "The path is chosen by oneself!"

"Yes!"

"Heavenly Dao is fifty, the manifestation of the heavens is forty-nine, but one is hidden away..." Lu Yun sighed lightly, "Go!"

His figure turned, ascending straight into the sky. Above the sky, a Taoist gate opened, and Lu Yun's figure disappeared. That solitary lamp blossomed into a brilliant light on the horizon.

Like a rainbow after the rain.

A wing blade pierced through this rainbow, shooting towards Lin Xiaosu.

Lin Xiaosu smiled.

The wing blade was familiar.

The person on the wing blade was familiar.

Blue Demon!

Blue Demon leaped down from the wing blade, her figure flashing as she rushed towards Lin Xiaosu.

Lin Xiaosu spread his arms wide, and the two embraced tightly.

Embraced on the peak of Kunlun Mountain.

Embraced on the avalanche.

Embraced beneath the blue sky and white clouds...

No words, just an embrace!

For a long, long time...

Finally, Lin Xiaosu spoke, "It's over, sister!"

Blue Demon slowly raised her head, and in her eyes, tears glistened, but on her face, she smiled like a flower, "Yes, it's over! When you sounded the charge on Kunlun Mountain, I was in the Southern Border. I knew you could bring hope, but I didn't expect this hope to come so quickly, and such a big hope it is."

"Still, it's a bit late; I've already seen the situation within the country."

"Compared to peaceful times, the damage in the past month is immense and incomparable, but compared to what we anticipated, this damage is almost negligible."

This was the truth.

In peaceful times, an Exotic Beast injuring people would be a major event.

But in everyone's expectations, this calamity was a battle for the severance of civilization. Everyone was prepared to face death. The most ideal state was probably decades of bloody struggle and then rebirth from the ruins.

But Lin Xiaosu changed this process.

He stood at the peak of Kunlun, with a charge, tens of millions of heroic spirits swept out from mountains and valleys, sweeping across the invaders like a roll of paper, annihilating all millions of invaders within Daxia borders. And in the face of the covetous foreign marauders, he drew a clear red line, telling everyone: Whoever dares to enter, even if they are with great power, will be killed without hesitation.

Who dares to enter from the Strange Realm?

"Sister, don't be too optimistic!" Lin Xiaosu said, "The peace before us is only three years!"

Blue Demon's heart suddenly skipped a beat...

"I need to go to the headquarters to talk with Chief Long!"

"Let's go!" Blue Demon beckoned, and the wing blade rose through the air, hovering beneath their feet.

Lin Xiaosu and Blue Demon stepped onto it.

Bang!

The wing blade soared through the sky, flying straight to the Qianlong Headquarters.

The Qianlong Headquarters was a forbidden zone of the world, always a symbol of mystery. Previously, even if Lin Xiaosu was invited to investigate a case, entering the Qianlong Headquarters required sitting in a flying car, surrounded by security.

But today, the wing blade flew directly to the Qianlong Headquarters.

The Qianlong Headquarters was actually in the Northwest.

Ahead was a high mountain.

The wing blade crossed over the mountain, and below, what seemed to be a desolate valley was revealed to be the Qianlong Headquarters Lin Xiaosu had seen before, as the array's camouflage was torn apart.

The wing blade landed directly on the backside of the mountain where Chief Long resided.

The gazes of the two guards lifted, and they were greatly surprised.

They stood straight and saluted.

This salute had no address.

This salute was directed at Lin Xiaosu.

Lin Xiaosu, not part of the Qianlong staff, cannot be addressed as chief.

However, his world-saving heroics still earned him the highest respect of the Qianlong Warriors.

"Is Chief Long here?" Blue Demon asked.

"Yes! Please come in!" The two guards, without even needing to consult, allowed them to pass directly.

The Chief Long was in his private office, bent over his desk writing, when he suddenly looked up, his eyes radiating light: "little Su!"

He strode forward, his hands clasped tightly with hers.

This grip was very heavy.

This grip shook lightly a few times.

"This time, lucky to have you!" Seven words he had never spoken before came from the Chief Long's mouth, showing emotion for the first time today.

"It's not just me; everyone fought their own battle on their front!" Lin Xiaosu said.

"Well said, everyone... has fought a battle!" the Chief Long said. "Sit here!"

Sitting on the sofa, Blue Demon temporarily served them each a cup of tea and sat beside Lin Xiaosu.

"Little Su, what method is the summoning of heroic spirits?" the Chief Long confronted the most crucial question.

Lin Xiaosu raised her hand lightly, handing over a foot-length white bone to the Chief Long: "It's relying on this!"

A dense white bone, under normal circumstances, would be taboo for anyone, yet the Chief Long received it with both hands, carefully holding it before his chest while scrutinizing it, his expression filled with confusion.

"This is the Spiritual Word segment from the Three-character Bone Book's Human Volume!" Lin Xiaosu said.

"Three-character Bone Book?" the Chief Long's face suddenly changed.

"Does the Chief Long know about the Three-character Bone Book?"

The Chief Long gently exhaled: "I don't know the specifics, but I know the Nine Headed Snake's greatest mission is to find it, and it's even said that the real purpose of establishing the Nine Headed Snake is solely to find it!"

"The Chief Long is correct; when I first knew of the Three-character Bone Book, it was from the Venerable Hydra Snake, but truly understanding it was on the Three Realms above..."

The Three-character Bone Book has a total of three volumes.

The Heavenly Scroll, Earth Scroll, Human Volume.

Each volume has three segments; the Human Volume contains Spiritual, Heart, and Lamp segments. As for the Heaven and Earth Scroll, he doesn't know which three segments it possesses.

These Three-character Bone Books each have unique powers and are the supreme divine artifacts of their respective sects.

A million years ago, the Heaven, Earth, and Humanity sought supremacy, and each sect's Three-character Bone Book was the divine artifact deployed last.

The final Human Emperor Kun, wielding the Three-character Bone Book, used the Human Volume to Juedi Passage.

Today, the Bone Book reappeared.

With the emergence of the Spiritual Word segment, tens of millions of heroic spirits were awakened, altogether facing the national crisis, starting the peace of today.

"I came to Qianlong Headquarters today, to see the Chief Long, just to find a good place for this Bone Book!"

The Chief Long's heart beat rapidly: "Is the Bone Book's power still continuing?"

"Summoning heroic spirits, the spirits spontaneously protect the country, needing no further summons; however, the spirits have roots, and their root is this book. This Bone Book cannot leave Daxia; it must be kept safe. In all the land, only the Chief Long can keep it safe."

The Chief Long stood up: "I swear by the heavens, even if I, Zhao Tiance, die a million times, I must ensure this Bone Book remains safe!"

"That's good!" Lin Xiaosu said. "Now, onto the second matter, which is the most important."

"Speak!"

"Heroic spirits protect the country, only for three years of peace!" Lin Xiaosu said. "Three years later, on September 19, is the Calamity Day; all folded spaces will open, and this realm's Heavenly Dao will completely align with the Desolate Ancient Realm. Then, the Great Power of Tao can transgress, and on that day, even heroic spirits won't be able to protect this world."

"That's unexpected! Only three short years..." the Chief Long was shocked.

The heart of Blue Demon was also in turmoil.

On Kunlun Mountain, he had mentioned three years, without time to elaborate. She had only left this great worry in her heart, and now, the stark reality was directly laid out before the Chief Long, leading even his stable demeanor like a mountain to turn pale.

Blue Demon took a deep breath, breaking the suffocating silence: "Little Su, what ideas do you have? Speak up!"

With a sudden swish, the Chief Long's gaze shot towards his face...

Lin Xiaosu sighed lightly: "I'm leaving!"

"Where to?" Blue Demon's heart skipped.

"Ancient Wilderness!"

Blue Demon's heart quaked.

The Chief Long's expression swirling: "Enter Ancient Wilderness, seeking change behind enemy lines?"

"Yes!"

The room was silent, deep as night.

The world will change vastly; the Great Power will arrive, and the true catastrophe will come.

Who will protect the country?

Who will give this world a chance for survival?

Only him!

This man, who made a sensational debut, who personally unearthed the graves of Nine Headed Snake and Utopia, and on the great disaster day of March 3, was still able to reverse the dire situation, is a generation of Heavenly Pride.

Yet, regardless of such a Heavenly Pride, venturing into Ancient Wilderness and penetrating the enemy's heart is a scenario of nine deaths and one life.

There's no need to mention danger; anyone with a brain would know how perilous this task is.

No need to mention hardship; under such a desperate situation, all the descriptors in the world to describe its difficulty seem pale...

The Chief Long held his teacup, pondering for a long time: "Have you already decided?"

"I have decided!"

"In your view, is this the only solution?"

"So far, I honestly haven't figured out a solution!" Lin Xiaosu said. "I just understand a basic principle: when trouble is truly unsolvable, probably need to resolve the troublemaker!"

When trouble is unsolvable, resolve the troublemaker.

This phrase is widely spread in today's society, often containing mockery.

However, it cannot be denied that, in different contexts, this phrase's meaning varies.

The breaking realm of Ancient Wilderness and the ambition of major forces in the Ancient Wilderness to annex weaker worlds is the greatest crisis for this world.

According to his intention, his entry into Ancient Wilderness is to stir up a massive uproar in that unparalleled high-end world, eradicating from the source their ambition against Daxia.

With the body of a mere ant, challenge the supreme Heavenly Dao.

This is his eternal ambition, and it's also the last salvation for this world...

Endless thoughts flowed through the Chief Long's mind, transforming into a gentle sigh: "Have a drink!"

"Tea? Or alcohol?"

"Alcohol!" the Chief Long rose, walked to the desk, and opened the cabinet behind it, where there was a bottle of alcohol.

He took out two cups and slowly poured the alcohol, pouring it very slowly, filling them to the brim.

Holding up the alcohol: "Leave the matters at home, rest assured!"

Six words, extremely solemn.

"Good!"

"No matter what happens, keep your life!" The Chief Long slowly raised his head, his eyes gaining a gentle warmth: "Return to see me before September 19, three years later... if I'm still here!"
