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

Chapter 415: Chapter 415: Barbecue on Li Shen Mountain

“When spring comes and a hundred flowers bloom, a branch, a leaf, a dewy moss. A gentle breeze, a full moon, worldly affairs, people come, people go, speaking of past events… Is it like this?” Li Xueyi softly murmured.

“Miss has great talent; it is exactly like that!” Lin Xiaosu replied.

“This isn’t my talent, this poem was written by my brother. He’s a maverick in the Bridge Realm, and his greatest dream is to one day stand on the ground and see for himself the wondrous human scene depicted in books where heaven and earth celebrate together.”

Lin Xiaosu smiled softly, without answering.

His heart answered for him.

Someone from the Bridge Realm, someone longing for the human world.

The greatest dream, to someday stand on the ground and see heaven and earth celebrate together?

However, do you know that when you truly stand on the ground, you won’t see heaven and earth celebrating together.

At that time, what you call the human world, is not how you describe it?

That is a hell on earth!

Having a dream is a good thing.

Being in hell, having the courage to look up at paradise is a good thing.

However, the beautiful aspirations of your Earth Core Strange Race require being built on the premise of bringing disaster to the Human Clan.

Ultimately, you and I cannot share the same bright moon, nor the full dream of a clear river!

The turtle boat on the river, drifting away.

In the room, time seemed to pause, day and night indistinguishable.

While Lin Xiaosu closed his eyes to rest, Li Xueyi also shut hers.

Her heart continually fluctuated.

From Jiao’er’s perspective, she seemed to guess the young lady’s feelings; the young lady seemed to have taken a liking to this young gentleman, even to the point of not being herself.

However, she could not imagine the thoughts in the young lady’s heart going much farther than her wildest imaginations…

The big ship sliced through water, the front gradually brightened.

A fiery blaze, like a rising sun.

Lin Xiaosu slowly opened his eyes, surprised by the bright area.

“There, is our ancestral land.” Li Xueyi said.

Lin Xiaosu lightly licked his lips, “Your… our ancestral land seems to have one good point, which is basically not needing to turn on lights.”

Li Xueyi burst into laughter, “You don’t need to mention the drawbacks, I know! It’s just a bit hot, but rest assured, I’ll arrange a good place for you, as cool as the river.”

Lin Xiaosu’s inner sun suddenly flared!

A bit hot, your “bit”, how should I understand?

That area is entirely a volcano, and you’re telling me it’s just slightly hotter?

And, considering I’m someone from outside, unable to bear extreme temperatures, you’ve attentively arranged for me a cool place to stay, like the river?

Who told you the river is cool?

On the way here, I’ve been like a dumpling in a steamer!

Reached your territory, the guest room you arranged for me is still a steamer.

My God, if not for important matters, staying one more day in this ghost place would surely drive me insane!

The turtle boat landed, Lin Xiaosu and the others disembarked.

Upon stepping onto the land, where even the stones faintly showed red, Lin Xiaosu felt like he had moved from a steamer to a roasting rack.

Clan members greeted them at the shore.

In the distance, bowing to Li Xueyi.

Their hair mostly white.

On the mountainside, there were disciples, with purple hair.

Atop the mountain, a blond man led three silver-haired people to welcome them.

The color of hair represents the hierarchy of bloodlines.

Blond as nobility, silver next, followed by purple and white.

This blond elder clearly is the top elder.

The three silver-haired men bowed, the blond elder only slightly nodded, “Third Miss, traveling a thousand miles, hard work!”

“It’s nothing! Just replacing my father to attend a clan meeting, not considered hard work.” Li Xueyi replied, “But the meeting’s outcome was not as the Great Elder wished.”

“Hmm?” the elder’s face slightly changed, “Could there be more demands?”

Li Xueyi lightly nodded, “These are details of their resource sharing…”

Her hand lifted, and passed a paper made from some unknown animal skin to the elder.

The elder observing the writing, his expression grew more sullen, eventually his hand closed, the paper directly burned in his palm!

Turned to ashes!

The elder’s face sank with rage, “The Abyssal Boundary Wall, indeed is the common task of the Bridge Realm Bai Races, but whose bad habits are to blame for this reckless allocation? Three thousand Array Crystal Pillars, three hundred Second Realm masters ready for dispatch… Our Li Clan has accumulated for millennia, with only thirty thousand Array Crystal Pillars, he has conscripted half in the past 17 times, at least each time only less than a thousand, but this time took three thousand in one go! His appetite is growing larger.”

“What the Great Elder said is right!” Beside him, a silver-haired elder said, “Less than a thousand at a time, barely acceptable, three thousand at once, utterly unable to bear.”

Another silver-haired elder said, “Reportedly the boundary breaking process has accelerated, potentially breaking through in three years, thus increasing investment, manpower and resources contributed accordingly, our Li Clan lacks an Array Master, also willing to contribute more resources, but raising to three thousand Array Crystal Pillars at once is indeed a bit excessive, maybe we should go again to negotiate?”

“Negotiate my foot!” the Great Elder was furious, “Those presiding over this event are the Huang Clan, they’re openly retaliating, asking for Array Crystal Stones, let them show first, they provide three thousand, we also provide three thousand, under everyone’s eyes, simultaneously sent to the Abyssal.”

“They have an Array Master…”

“This seat doesn’t know they sent an Array Master? An Array Master who equals three thousand Array Crystal Pillars? The entire Bridge Realm sent over a hundred Array Masters, what have they accomplished after all these years? Using Array Masters as an excuse, this seat is fed up with this strategy!” the Great Elder thoroughly exploded, enraged.

The Elder Council did not pay attention to Lin Xiaosu.

Even the ordinary clan members along the way, hardly paid any attention to Lin Xiaosu.

Because in their dictionary, an ordinary Li Tian Clan Member, is not qualified to be noticed.

Li Tian Clan Members, are a hybrid of Li Clan bloodlines.

True Li Clan members rarely receive a proper look.

This is the pride of the Li Clan’s original system.

Li Xueyi did not let Lin Xiaosu expose himself to this awkward scene, leading him past the heated elder discussions.

Up to the mountain top.

From the top of the mountain, looking afar.

Lin Xiaosu inwardly exclaimed in admiration.

Have you ever seen a magma waterfall?

There are four here!

Have you seen a magma lake?

There is one here.

Have you seen a place of perpetual light where no lamps are needed?

This is it!

Red houses are settled around the magma lake, like boilers in a steel mill.

To the naked eye, it is quite spectacular.

Amidst the spectacle, there is gentleness.

Gentleness in the Northwest.

A river flows down from the Northwest, leaving a gentle mark in this fiery red landscape.

There are green trees, red flowers, small pavilions, and terraces…

“There, that’s Qing Wan.” Li Xueyi pointed to a location at the uppermost part of the Northwest.

It is precisely a place of coolness amidst the red flowers and green leaves.

Lin Xiaosu followed her and stepped onto the banks of the river, and surely felt the temperature drop sharply.

If earlier it was like a roasting furnace, here, it is about a warm pot.

Mist filled the river, and several village girls were doing laundry here, their feet submerged in the water, with water droplets on their faces, smiling brilliantly.

Lin Xiaosu, not believing in superstition, washed his hands in the river water.

Then… he was full of “What the hell.”

The water temperature was at least eighty degrees!

Those village girls washed clothes barefoot in eighty-degree hot water, yet managed to have a cool and comfortable feeling like “bamboo creek returning to laundry women”, making him almost believe the superstition…

There are differences between human races.

There are fish in the river, and the fish species are different too.

There are flowers by the roadside, probably different kinds of flowers too.

The bluestone path moves forward, and right ahead is Qing Wan.

Upon stepping into Qing Wan, Lin Xiaosu’s heart skipped a beat, the temperature plummeted rapidly.

If the outside temperature was about sixty to seventy degrees, it was at most forty to fifty degrees in here.

With just a courtyard gate in between.

How could there be such a big temperature difference?

His Heavenly Tao Wisdom Eye opened, revealing Array Patterns!

This is an Array!

The Array altered the temperature inside and outside the courtyard.

“Gentleman, isn’t it cool?” Jiao’er’s little head popped up from the side: “Can you guess why?”

“Array!” Lin Xiaosu said.

“Ah, Gentleman, you’re amazing, you actually know it’s an Array!” Jiao’er’s expression was exaggerated.

She understood the young lady and thought flattering Lin Xiaosu would make the young lady happy.

Li Xueyi indeed looked delighted beside them.

Lin Xiaosu smiled, “A formation to alter temperature is indeed extraordinary, which elder crafted this?”

Jiao’er’s eyes sparkled, “This… I don’t know if I should say.”

Li Xueyi chuckled softly, “It’s not a secret, why not say it? Let me speak…”

This Array was left by a very controversial person in the Li Clan.

She was a woman, an authentic member of the Li Clan.

Named Li Qing.

Li Qing liked to research various Miracle Techniques, including Arrays, and was the clan’s top expert in Arrays.

Therefore, she was often sent to the Abyssal to execute the task of breaking the boundary.

Breaking the Abyssal Boundary Wall is a shared mission of all races in the Bridge Realm, and there was a high level of consensus among the races, providing people and resources.

This “people” refers to Array Masters.

Li Qing was sent to the Abyssal as the Li Clan’s Array Master.

The Li Clan provided this “person” and did not need to provide other resources.

However, three hundred years ago, the Li Clan split.

Li Qing openly took sides, aligning with the Magic System.

As a result, the Li Clan lost an Array Master and could only provide resources.

And the Magic System was exempt from supplying resources due to her joining.

The Li Clan felt betrayed.

Thus, in the hearts of the Original System of the Li Clan, she is a traitor.

A traitor who caused direct losses to the Original System.

This matter also introduced a sensitive element to the Original System, that is, they became allergic to the words “Array Master”, and when the Great Elder heard those words, his wounds would open, his hair would stand on end, confirming this.

After saying all this, Li Xueyi ordered Jiao’er, “Go boil some water, prepare some tea and fruit, the gentleman from the outside world might enjoy tea.”

Jiao’er ran off to prepare the supplies that the young lady liked.

Soon, the tea was served, along with a bunch of raisins…

Lin Xiaosu lifted the teacup, took a sip, the tea leaves were definitely not good, but being able to taste tea in this underground was a luxury in itself.

However, Li Xueyi looked at the bunch of raisins, a bit puzzled, “Why are the grapes like this?”

“Hmm, they’re all dried up.” Jiao’er was nearly in tears, “Miss worked so hard to get seven grapevines, six died, and the remaining one… I feel it’s almost gone too.”

“How could this be? Wasn’t that plot avoiding the hot wind outlet?”

Jiao’er said, “The hot wind outlet shifted, changed direction. Miss, how about you move the sole surviving one personally…”

“Gentleman, stay here a while, I’ll go…” Li Xueyi stood up to transplant the grapevine.
