Heaven and Earth Return

Qin Yi stood speechlessly to the side, watching his idol, a true tough guy, being patted on the head and called "Little Turtle" with a bewildered expression.

Then, this tough guy didn't get angry. He just stared blankly at the Little Ghost Little Ghost floating in front of him, which was smaller than his eye...

After staring at him for a while, Baxia lowered his head somewhat awkwardly. "It's you..."

The implication is that he acknowledged the title of "Little Wu," as if to say: If it's you, then you have the right to call me that.

Liusu was quite surprised. "Turtle, you've never even met me before, how do you really recognize me?"

Baxia's expression twitched, so it simply turned its head away and refused to look at it.

Qin Yi actually breathed a sigh of relief. It's good that we've never crossed paths before. I thought you had beaten me up again...

Liusu said, "Turtle, you've really made something of yourself. Carrying the Jianmu tree and supplying thousands of miles, you're truly heroic. You've got a bit of your father in you."

Qin Yi then remembered that he had beaten up its father... Did that leave some kind of shadow in the young turtle's heart?

Baxia, unable to bear it any longer, shouted, "My name is Baxia! You can also call me Bixi, not 'Little Turtle' or 'Turtle'!"

"Bei Bei?"

"What the hell..."

"Alright, alright, Great Staff..." Qin Yi couldn't help but drag Liusu back and turned to Baxia, saying, "Senior, please explain the situation here in more detail so we can begin our cooperation."

Baxia watched in astonishment as Liusu was dragged away, its ghostly tail twitching as if its legs were kicking wildly. It was speechless, its words stuck in its throat, feeling dizzy.

If the dog were here, he would probably discuss with it how it feels to have his worldview crumble. However, the dog isn't here... which actually makes Baxia feel a little more trusting.

It had originally told Qin Yi, "If you come with true sincerity, I will give you both fruits," but it hadn't finished saying the second half of its sentence: "If you have ulterior motives, I will tear your soul apart and grind you to dust." But now that it had seen Liusu, there was no need to say the second half.

Even if Liusu had fought with her father, it wasn't a blood feud. It was just a fight, so what? Baxia, on the other hand, knew very well that Liusu and her father had a real, shared grudge. The current problem with Jianmu was caused by those people. Since Qin Yi was in cahoots with Liusu, there was no more reliable collaborator in this matter.

This also explains why Qin Yi possesses the blood of the Torch Dragon.

This is proof from Torch Dragon that we are "one of our own," and everyone has been suspicious and guessing for so long.

Baxia sighed and said seriously, "You just need to place the Door of Myriad Mysteries nearby. If it's a stone pillar of a sufficient size, its power will be enough to pull the distorted rules back."

Qin Yi said, "That's it? You don't need me to do anything else?"

Baxia remained silent for a moment, then turned his gaze to Liusu: "If the Spirit of Jian Mu is at its peak, it belongs to the power of Taiqing. What kind of illness it suffered from is Non-Self comprehension. Can you?"

Liusu shook her head. "Not for now. My divine sense can't enter its spiritual sea."

Baxia then said, "Since we don't know the specific patient's condition, we can only speculate. If it wakes up, there are only two possibilities: one is that it's just a normal awakening from a deep slumber, in which case everyone will be happy."

Liusu said, "The other one is that its original will conflicts with the new distorted rules, and the mutual resistance between them causes it to fall into a state of dormancy."

"Yes, in this situation, if it wakes up, it might be quite frantic and deranged. I will be responsible for holding it off, and the music will change from a sound of revival to a sound of soothing. With the Door of Myriad Mysteries by our side, we will surely be able to expel and smooth out the distorted rules that do not conform to the Jianmu. Originally, I wasn't too confident, but now that you're here, there's even less chance of any problems."

After examining the Liusu and finding no issues that matched its assessment of the Jianmu tree's condition, it said, "Let's begin then."

Qin Yi, standing to the side, seemed a bit apprehensive.

This all involves rules. "Rules" don't necessarily represent "power," but they are the decisive essence of the world, something even Taiqing finds difficult to escape. For example, the most basic rule is that a person needs a physical body to store Law Power and Gang Qi. Without a physical body, you can only use soul power. This is the rule, and even Liusu of Taiqing cannot violate it. It's not some kind of power, but it's a fundamental law.

The infinite mysteries of the Door of Myriad Mysteries are actually releasing rules, which is why it can improve the physical body, comprehend the Great Dao, shatter space and time, and gather spirituality.

Qin Yi's understanding of this matter was far too limited; he was completely out of the loop and could not even begin to grasp it.

Baxia is a powerful Ancestor Saint, although it's unknown what level he is, it shouldn't be lower than that... Bangbang has a true Taiqing level understanding of the rules, but there are still some gaps and it's not complete... If this lineup can't handle it even if they join forces, then no one else will be able to help. This is not something that can be solved by having more people.

Qin Yi didn't say anything, took out a stone stool and sat down beside him, placing one hand on the stone stool and adjusting the Dao intent released from the stone stool towards the direction of the Spirit of Jian Mu.

The Liusu floated in front of Baxia, staring at each other as they waited.

In fact, he didn't even need to operate or adjust it. The moment the stone pillar left the protective shadow of the Yin Illusion Sand inside the ring, the Spirit of Jade Tree on Baxia's back began to stretch. The curled and twisted branches and jade leaves slowly began to straighten and started to bloom with their normal color.

The music outside still echoed, each note reaching the ears and touching the soul. There was a sound of revival outside and a gate to the Great Dao inside. The jade tree Spirit Body visibly grew brighter and stronger, stretching out and flourishing.

The jade tree itself is the manifestation of the Spirit of Jian Mu, and it doesn't have eyes or anything like that. But Qin Yi's Sea of Consciousness strangely felt that this jade tree Spirit Body seemed to have opened its eyes. In fact, upon closer inspection, he couldn't see where the eyes were; it was just a mysterious feeling that he couldn't quite put his finger on.

That look in his eyes... was blank, and a little painful.

Ba Xia's face was as still as water.

It's certain now; it's not a simple awakening from dormancy, but rather the second type—entangled in a clash of different rules, where dormancy is also a form of self-protection. Now, awakened by stimulation, the Spirit of Jian Mu is caught in a state of war and confusion, not only confused, but also...

Violent!

When his eyes opened wide, it was like lightning piercing the sky. Qin Yi felt a sound of his soul shattering echoing in his Sea of Consciousness. The life force of the Jianmu tree and a desolate, decaying energy mingled together, making the whole world chaotic and distorted. The feeling that his spirit and flesh were about to be crushed made him want to vomit blood.

This is not an attack... it's just the aftershock of the internal conflict of rules within Jianmu itself!

This alone is enough to make a cultivator at the sixth level of the Radiant Sun Realm feel extremely uncomfortable and as if his soul is about to shatter!

If it were to truly go berserk, what kind of Heaven Collapse would it cause?

Qin Yi simply couldn't imagine what a raging sea must be outside at this moment. He subconsciously summoned the Bark Shield he had just refined, and the Water Spirit Power spread out to deflect the aftershocks and stabilize his mind.

Just then, Liusu reached out and beckoned.

The Wolf Tooth Club in the ring shrank into its hand, like it was holding a small bone. The next moment, Liusu, clutching the Wolf Tooth Club, started pounding on Yushu's face. "I told you not to be fierce! You think this mere Heaven and Earth Return is some kind of amazing Principle?! Get out here!"

Baxia, who was about to unleash his fury, was stunned.

Is this the person who fought with the Father God back then?
