"Moreover..." Bai Shan's tone turned serious.
"You saved the Nine Palaces today, saving not only the lives of countless disciples, but also the very foundation and legacy of the Nine Palaces of Southern Border."
"Just now, Elder Feng gifted you the One Heart Gu, representing the entire Nine Palaces. I, Bai Shan, represent the Ninth Palace and formally present this scripture to you. I hope you will make good use of what you learn from it and not disgrace the Gu Dao."
Upon hearing this, the surrounding palace masters were first taken aback, then their faces showed annoyance. "Damn it! That old bastard Bai Shan beat us to it!"
"Brother Lin, you saved all of our lives, what's a tattered book! Take it!" Palace Master Xiong shouted directly.
Lin Yu glanced at Bai Shan, who seemed genuine, and stopped refusing.
He accepted the ancient scripture with both hands, but instead of putting it away immediately, he used his hands as a pen and the heavens and earth as paper, employing the principles of Gu, to copy the "True Understanding of the Gu Dao".
The Daoist principles in the book are simple and easy to understand, which fascinates readers.
"Your generous gift, senior, is beyond my means to repay. This piece represents my humble opinion on the secret manual, which may be of some help to the future inheritance of the Nine Palaces."
This miraculous turn of events caused Bai Shan's pupils to shrink in shock.
He originally intended to give away his inheritance as a token of gratitude, but he never expected to receive such an opportunity in return.
Bai Shan took a deep breath, solemnly accepted this generous gift, his eyes filled with shock and gratitude. "Fellow Daoist, you are truly talented. Bai Shan... thanks you!"
"I have another small request. There is a woman in Flower Bamboo Village. I hope you can take good care of her," Lin Yu said.
Upon hearing this, Bai Shan's eyes flashed with understanding, and he nodded solemnly. "Since they are children of our Southern Border, we will certainly nurture them well, so you can rest assured."
With those words, Lin Yu felt relieved.
Having settled his affairs in the Southern Border, Lin Yu lingered. Together with Huang Rong, Su Xiaoxiao, and the little fox on his shoulder, amidst the grateful and admiring gazes of the Nine Palaces members, he once again transformed into a golden rainbow and soared into the sky.
"Old Bai, are you just going to hand over that precious secret manual to someone else like that?" After the original owner left, the Fifth Palace Master Xiong stepped forward and asked Bai Shan if he was willing to accept it.
"Reading the scriptures ten thousand times is not as good as a single word from a sage."
"The old scriptures have been covered in dust for thousands of years, unappreciated by anyone. Now, a new chapter of the Great Dao has been revealed, a great fortune for my Ninth Palace!"
Bai Shan gently stroked the rubbing of "The True Understanding of the Gu Dao" in his hand, which was shimmering with spiritual light. Instead of showing any reluctance, he revealed a meaningful smile.
After leaving Southern Border, Lin Yu began his global firefighting journey.
On the shores of the East China Sea, he reversed the raging waves, transforming the rampaging sea monsters into spiritual energy that nourished the aquatic creatures.
In the far south, he refined the ice demon, allowing a vibrant spirit to bloom from the millennia-old ice.
Wherever he went, he used Transform Heaven and Earth extraordinary abilities to transform the nodes of the evil array into nourishment for the world.
After a day and a night of travel, their footprints covered the four seas. When the last array eye was purified, a clear ringing sound, audible only to cultivators, resounded throughout the world.
The grand array that enveloped the entire world was dismantled by Lin Yu, transforming into countless spiritual arrays that nourished the world.
The sky is clear again, and life on earth is gradually returning.
Standing atop Kunlun Mountain, Lin Yu gazed at the churning sea of clouds, a notification from the Chat Group popping into his mind.
Shi Hao, Xiao Yan, and the others have also completed their mission and are ready to return.
"Finally... it's over." Huang Rong let out a long sigh of relief, her face revealing her exhaustion.
Su Xiaoxiao nodded silently, her gaze towards Lin Yu filled with admiration.
Their role in this process was actually very small; they were just there to rescue people. Lin Yu was the one breaking the formation the whole time. It's hard to imagine how much perseverance and magical power that required.
Even the little fox on Lin Yu's shoulder was so tired that it fell asleep on his neck, like a scarf around his neck.
"Thank you all for your hard work." Lin Yu gently stroked the sleeping little fox on his neck, his gaze sweeping over the tired but determined Su Xiaoxiao, Huang Rong, and the others.
Take care, brother!
Goodbye, Brother Lin Yu!
"Goodbye!"
Amidst farewells, the figures of Son Goku, Zhang Sanfeng, Shi Hao, Xiao Yan, Yan Lingji, and others gradually became illusory, eventually transforming into streaks of light that dissipated into the world, returning to their respective realms.
As everyone left, Lin Yu silently thought, "Settle the mission."
[Global aid mission completed]
[Contribution points are being calculated...]
[Main Contributor: Lin Yu. Core mission "Breaking the World-Destroying Evil Array" completion rate 100%, array core purification rate 100%, reversing the laws, giving back to heaven and earth, contribution rating: SSS+]
[Contributors who assisted: Shi Hao, Xiao Yan, Zhang Sanfeng, Son Goku, Yan Lingji, Huang Rong, Su Xiaoxiao...

[Lin Yu distributed the mission reward to all participants: a fixed 500,000 points, which have been evenly distributed to each participant's account.]
[Lin Yu distributed a special reward to all participants: a Daoist insight, which has been sent to everyone's private space. Please check.]
Even the person with the lowest contribution received tens of thousands of points, a generosity that far exceeded everyone's expectations.
"Haha, that was really fun!" Son Goku shouted in the group chat, clearly very satisfied with the trip.
Goku didn't care about the points; he only cared about having a good time fighting.
"Amitabha Buddha, this matter is settled, and I have also gained some insight. I'm afraid I need to go into seclusion in the mountains for a few days." Having experienced several profound insights, Zhang Sanfeng became increasingly peaceful.
Yan Lingji sent a charming smiley face. "Little brother, next time there's something this exciting, don't forget to call me!"
At this moment, only Lin Yu remained on the mountaintop, along with the little fox that had climbed back onto his shoulder and was affectionately nuzzling his cheek.
The rising sun cast golden rays that bathed Lin Yu's entire body and illuminated the red fox's fiery red fur.
With a thought, Lin Yu transformed into a golden light and sped off towards Maoshan.
The little fox clung tightly to his clothes, feeling the lightning speed.
A moment later, the golden light fell on the square in front of the main hall of Maoshan Temple. The expected celebratory scene did not appear; instead, there was a solemn and dignified atmosphere.
Lin Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly walked into the main hall.
The three Heavenly Masters, along with Heavenly Master Zhang of Dragon Tiger Mountain, the head of the Numinous Treasure Pavilion, and several other leaders of the righteous path, were all present, their faces somber, showing no joy whatsoever at the end of the calamity.
"Heavenly Master, esteemed seniors, what has happened?" Lin Yu stepped forward and asked in a deep voice.
When the seniors saw Lin Yu return, a hint of relief flashed across their faces, but it was quickly replaced by a deeper worry.
The Grand Heavenly Master sighed heavily and handed Lin Yu a black jade slip that exuded an eerie aura, "You've come back just in time."
"We have just received urgent reports from various regions that those evil cultivators from Japan, taking advantage of the fact that our Dragon Nation's cultivation community is fully engaged in dealing with the cataclysmic calamity and is Genki, have harbored wolfish ambitions and secretly infiltrated, setting up dozens of vicious formations throughout our Dragon Nation!"
