218: Stop drawing, or the map will clip through the lines.

Myriad Ghost Ridge became quiet.

The black mist, which had perpetually shrouded it, was now completely gone.

No, it wasn't just the black mist.

The entire main peak of Myriad Ghost Ridge, along with the White Bone Palace and everything within a radius of several miles.

It all vanished.

In its place was a massive, hemispherical, pale white void.

It was as if a huge chunk of this world had been violently dug out, revealing the 'code' at the bottom of the world.

Shen Nanxi stood at the edge of this enormous void, holding the spirit fox brush in his hand, looking utterly bewildered.

"This..."

He gazed at the massive 'pit' before him.

"I think... I used too much force?"

He had only intended to eliminate the Great Red-Robed Ghost.

Who knew that the reinforced talisman paper would be so powerful, 'cleaning' the entire mountain peak along with it?

"Senior Brother..."

Shen Nanxi looked up at the chubby figure, who had turned to stone in mid-air.

"Did I... did I cause trouble?"

"I lost the mountain."

High in the sky.

Wang Duojin swallowed, feeling his throat dry.

He looked at the massive void below. The surrounding Laws of Space were frantically trying to repair it, but the edge of the void retained an extremely overbearing 'rejection' will.

As if saying: This place has been cleaned, nothing is allowed to exist here anymore.

Even the Heavenly Dao Laws couldn't mend it!

"Junior Brother..."

Wang Duojin descended from the clouds, landing beside Shen Nanxi, carefully avoiding the large pit.

He patted Shen Nanxi's shoulder, his eyes complex.

"How is this causing trouble?"

"You just gave the world... oh no, you gave the Azure Cloud Continent a middle part."

How could a Mortal do something like this?

That Red-Robed Ghost King was in the Soul Transformation Stage!

In the Lower Realm, he was a hegemon-level existence.

And just like that... he was wiped out by a piece of paper?

"Let's go, let's go, quickly return to the Sect."

Wang Duojin grabbed Shen Nanxi.

"If I let you keep practicing, I'm afraid you'll make the entire Eastern Barrens map clip through."

...Myriad Dao Divine Mountain, Sect Master's Small Courtyard.

Chu Xuanjin looked at the scene in the Shadow Recording Immortal Crystal, laughing so hard that he spilled the tea in his hand.

"Hahahaha!"

"What a 'Cleaning Talisman'!"

"This kid is a natural at destruction."

He had originally thought Shen Nanxi would, at most, eliminate the Ghost King.

He never expected this kid to directly negate the 'material existence' of that entire area.

This was the overbearing power of the Innate Talisman Source Body.

He wasn't drawing talismans; he was drawing rules.

If he said a place should be clean, then there couldn't even be space for dust to exist.

"However, this won't do either."

Chu Xuanjin put down his teacup, tapping his finger lightly on the table.

"Always causing such destructive blows can easily injure allies."

"I need to teach him some micro-management."

Just as he was thinking.

Space fluctuated.

Wang Duojin returned with a nervous-looking Shen Nanxi.

"Revered Master! This Disciple has brought Junior Brother back!"

Wang Duojin shouted as soon as he landed.

"You don't know, Junior Brother he..."

"Alright, I've seen it all."

Chu Xuanjin waved his hand, his gaze falling on Shen Nanxi.

Shen Nanxi immediately knelt, head bowed, like a child who had done something wrong.

"Revered Master, this Disciple knows his mistake."

"This Disciple used too much force and... made the mountain disappear."

"No matter."

Chu Xuanjin stood up, walked to Shen Nanxi, and helped him up.

"If it's gone, it's gone. It was just a broken mountain anyway."

"However, Nanxi."

Chu Xuanjin said earnestly.

"Cleaning is good, but it depends on the occasion."

"Sometimes, we only need to wipe away a stain, not chop the entire table."

"Understand?"

Shen Nanxi nodded, half-understanding.

"This Disciple's control is still insufficient."

"Hmm, you have good Comprehension Ability."

Chu Xuanjin flipped his palm.

An ancient book, glowing with golden light, appeared in his hand.

"Myriad Talismans Reaching Heaven Scroll: Micro-Management Chapter".

Of course, this was also one of the rewards the System had just given him.

"Take it."

"Don't draw Cleaning Talismans this time."

"Draw this."

Chu Xuanjin pointed at the complex rune on the book's cover.

"Repair Talisman."

"Since you can erase things, you must learn how to restore them."

"Go to the back mountain and practice with some broken stones."

"When you can restore stones that have been ground to powder back to their original state, you'll have mastered it."

Shen Nanxi took the ancient book, and the light in his eyes reignited.

"Yes! This Disciple obeys!"

Repair!

For him, who only wanted to save people and not kill them, this was even more appealing than cleaning!

Watching Shen Nanxi joyfully run towards the back mountain.

Wang Duojin leaned over, looking suspicious.

"Revered Master, are you sure you want him to practice repairing?"

"Why do I feel... he might repair the broken stones into a mountain?"

Chu Xuanjin smiled mysteriously.

"Wouldn't that be even better?"

"In the future, when our Sect does infrastructure, we'll even save on Materials costs."

...Just as peace reigned on Myriad Dao Divine Mountain.

In the Lower Realm, Eastern Barrens.

The news of Myriad Ghost Ridge's disappearance spread rapidly to the surrounding major powers, as if it had grown wings.

"Have you heard? Myriad Ghost Ridge is gone!"

"What do you mean 'gone'? Was it leveled by some powerful being?"

"Not leveled! It disappeared! Vanished into thin air!"

"Someone saw it with their own eyes; it's now a huge white abyss, and even Divine Sense sent into it gets swallowed!"

"Hiss—could it be a Heavenly Punishment?"

While everyone was discussing animatedly.

At the foot of the Tianqiong Mountain Range.

A group of terrifyingly powerful old men were gathered there.

They were none other than the Heavenly Sword Sacred Master, Old Ancestor Wang of the Northern Xuan Wang Family, and thirty-four other top Lower Realm powerhouses.

They had brought their respective Sects' ten thousand years of savings to 'pay rent' to the Myriad Dao Divine Sect.

At this moment.

They also received news about Myriad Ghost Ridge.

The Heavenly Sword Sacred Master looked at the communication Jade Slip in his hand, his face pale.

"Myriad Ghost Ridge... that was a Forbidden Ground that even this Old Man dared not enter deeply."

"It was actually erased in an instant?"

Beside him, the Valley Master of Hundred Flowers's voice trembled.

"Moreover, according to reports from our scouts, the residual aura there is... somewhat similar to the dao rhyme on the Divine Mountain."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked up in unison at the Myriad Dao Divine Mountain, which towered into the clouds.

Their awe grew even deeper.

"This must be a warning from the Divine Sect!"

Old Ancestor Wang took a deep breath, his tone firm.

"The Divine Sect is telling us that all the filth in this world is merely dust that can be erased at will in their eyes."

"This is a warning to us: after entering the Sect, we must abide by the rules and be clean!"

"Right! It must be so!"

The powerful cultivators nodded in agreement, imagining countless layers of deeper meaning.

"Quick! Check the treasures we brought again!"

"Sort out and discard anything of dubious origin or tainted by Karma!"

"We absolutely cannot let the Divine Sect think we are 'dirty'!"

For a time.

These Old Ancestors, who were usually high and mighty, were now scrambling to organize their Storage Rings like elementary school students about to be inspected.

They were terrified that if they did anything wrong, they would be 'cleaned' by that mysterious Sect Master, just like Myriad Ghost Ridge.

Above the Divine Mountain.

Chu Xuanjin, who was drinking tea, suddenly sneezed.

"Achoo!"

He rubbed his nose.

"Who's thinking about me?"

"Never mind, doesn't matter."

He looked at the busy old men down the mountain, a smile playing on his lips.

"It seems they're filling out their Sect entry applications very seriously."

"In that case."

"Then prepare to welcome the new era of the Myriad Dao Divine Sect."
