159: The power to break delusion, the gate of heaven and earth

Jun Siyu's teacher was undoubtedly a Genius who cultivated the methods of the alien domain, but too many problems arose during her instruction.

She had no desires.

The alien domain's Origin was not inherently evil; they merely indulged, nurtured, and then remained loyal to their desires, which was the source of their power.

Acknowledge evil, confront evil, amplify evil, and then utilize evil.

She was too naive; the only evil in her heart was secretly remembering the faces of those who had insulted her, only to forget them immediately afterward. Such a person clearly couldn't master the power of the alien domain.

But just now, he finally found a Breakthrough point.

As a teacher, he naturally knew that the methods of teaching varied for each individual. The best way to teach Jun Siyu, though somewhat sacrilegious, was clearly Jun Lingxiao.

“What do you think of His Highness, the Divine Son?”

He asked her with a smile.

“My Brother? He's very good?” Jun Siyu, hearing the Divine Son's name, finally snapped back to reality and looked up. Meeting her teacher's half-smiling, half-serious gaze, she felt a sudden panic and stammered, unable to say anything.

He listened, then shook his head, revealing a truth Jun Siyu had probably never considered.

“His Highness is handsome, and his strength or family background are impeccable. Coupled with the Divine Authority in his hands, he is already a coveted prize in everyone's eyes. Even with a nominal alliance with the Ye family, the other Ten Chiefs still flock to him endlessly, just for a sliver of opportunity. That's outside; at home, it's even more intense. Not to mention Princess An Luoxin, who has yet to return, even the True Dragon's little Princess runs to His Highness every Three Heavens.”

“As His Highness's sister, you naturally have a place by his side, but do you want to just watch them approach him like this forever?”

“Watch His Highness marry, have children, and enter the bridal chamber?”

“Marry and have children… enter the bridal chamber…?” Upon hearing these words, a feeling she couldn't quite explain or understand suddenly welled up in Jun Siyu's heart. Gradually, as if she understood something, she looked at her teacher and asked, “Teacher, are you saying…?”

Facing her inquiring gaze, he suddenly recoiled and shook his head meaningfully.

“Shh ~ I didn't say anything.”

Afterward, regardless of the emotions in Jun Siyu's eyes, he continued to walk forward, secretly feeling clever about his idea.

‘As a sister, it's natural to vet her Brother, to not let just anyone get close, but you can't do that without power.’

‘Watching a deeply cared-for Brother fall into the hands of an unsuitable woman, that too is a form of greed.’

Thinking this, he felt even more intelligent, having found such a method.

Moreover, the anger and reluctance he had captured in Jun Siyu's eyes just now, as long as the seed of desire was planted, it would instantly grow into a towering tree—that was humanity.

However, he did not notice that Jun Siyu's resolute expression also contained another emotion, a fleeting… greed.

Her inner thoughts remained unspoken. Jun Siyu, with this hint of greed, resolutely followed her teacher's footsteps, but unlike before, she no longer shook her head to dispel the image of Jun Lingxiao, blindfolded, sitting on the bed and looking at her. Instead, she let these images surface in her mind, then calmly appreciated them, lingering on them.

Undeniably, she did harbor a certain fantasy about Jun Lingxiao.

“Brother…”

——————

The next day, God Tablet Platform.

Jun Lingxiao, on his side, had no idea what awaited him in the future. He was currently focused on studying his Divine Authority.

If it was about testing strength, this place was very suitable, but due to the special nature of his Divine Authority, he still dispersed the Disciples, leaving only Lin Qingxi, who was already there, and a group of guards.

“The so-called Breaking Illusions is to see through, but not just generally seeing through a person. It's to directly penetrate their Origin, to directly perceive their strongest and weakest points. This means this power is not as tangible as Slash, but it is extremely special.”

“However, Lin Qingxi, why do I feel you're a bit different?”

Jun Lingxiao stood before the God Tablet, blindfolded, caressing it. One moment he was talking about Divine Authority, the next he suddenly looked at Lin Qingxi, who stood beside him.

Unexpectedly, this action didn't startle her.

“Is that so? Your Highness is probably overthinking it.” Lin Qingxi's expression remained unchanged, but her hand instinctively brushed away the strands of hair on her face.

Outwardly, she appeared to be listening intently to Jun Lingxiao's explanation, but in reality, she was simply mesmerized by his transformed self.

His Highness, blindfolded, was very novel.

However, unlike before, this time she met Jun Lingxiao's gaze without fear. Her eyes seemed to be shrouded in black mist, making her emotions unreadable.

More confident, but also more mysterious.

Yet, having spent a considerable amount of time together, Jun Lingxiao could always see through her.

“I feel you've made some kind of decision?”

The sudden words made Lin Qingxi pause, completely unprepared for Jun Lingxiao to guess, almost speaking instinctively.

But she still held back.

As an outsider, she could be close to Jun Lingxiao, but she absolutely could not fall in love with him. Before she had the strength, she could only hide her true feelings.

“Yes. I want to become stronger, not just an ordinary Prodigy, nor on the level of a Dao Child, but to surpass everything, even… to surpass Divine Authority…”

“Surpass Divine Authority?”

Jun Lingxiao pondered these words carefully. If anyone else had said this, he would have scoffed. As a wielder of Divine Authority, he understood better than anyone what kind of power it truly was.

Although he understood that the confidence in Lin Qingxi's eyes at this moment was not natural, but forced, looking at her incredibly serious eyes, he ultimately couldn't bring himself to discourage her.

“Don't push yourself too hard.”

Jun Lingxiao said, then continued to look at the God Tablet, slowly removing the black cloth from his eyes.

“Then what about Your Highness? You are also pushing yourself.” Lin Qingxi pursed her lips, looking at Jun Lingxiao like this. She glanced at the alert people around them and merely offered this reminder.

“You could clearly rest for a few more days.”

Of course, Jun Lingxiao had his own explanation for this.

“I'm different, I am the Divine Son.”

As he spoke, he had already opened his eyes. To outsiders, Jun Lingxiao's eyes merely glowed with golden light, but in his vision, the world had completely transformed into a different scene.

“A world of blue. Are these spiritual energies? So that's it.”

“And these orange cracks… I see, are they weaknesses?”

“A blue world, pervasive cracks, gray dust. This is… the authority of Breaking Illusions.”

At this moment, in Jun Lingxiao's eyes, the world had become a realm composed of countless cracks. For example, looking at Lin Qingxi, he used to be able to see the Meridians within her body with his enlightened Dao Heart. But now, with his authority activated, Lin Qingxi's entire being turned gray, and a dazzling golden-yellow crack spread from her heart. Undoubtedly, this was her flaw, or rather, her weakness.

“Of course, a normal person's weakness is their heart, so this is not the correct use of the authority.” Jun Lingxiao began to ponder. Then he looked up at the sky and immediately found the answer.

In the blue world, even the clouds in the sky had weaknesses, with orange cracks spreading downwards, like divine light.

Even the God Tablet before him also had cracks, also had weaknesses.

Following the weaknesses in his vision, Jun Lingxiao crouched beneath the God Tablet, observing carefully: “The God Tablet is an ancient divine artifact and has no weakness, or rather, my mastery of Divine Authority is not yet sufficient. But the pedestal that holds the God Tablet is not.”

As he spoke, he ran his hand over the orange crack on the God Tablet's pedestal in his vision. Unexpectedly, nothing happened. The orange crack remained conspicuously there.

Jun Lingxiao thoughtfully imbued his finger with Dao power and, just like before, lightly traced it again… A surprising thing happened. The pedestal, forged from ten-thousand-year spiritual crystals, gradually cracked open into a deep gash along his finger, and as if a switch had been triggered, it spread uncontrollably!

In the blink of an eye, the entire pedestal shattered into two halves from the crack, and the entire God Tablet began to totter as it lost its support!

“Your Highness!”

“Danger!”

Not only Lin Qingxi, but the surrounding guards, seeing this scene, were almost scared out of their wits. They cried out and rushed forward, wanting to protect Jun Lingxiao.

But he himself seemed very calm about it.

“No matter.”

Jun Lingxiao just stood there, watching the massive God Tablet crash down, then casually said:

“Later, have someone move it to the new Floating Island, then inform the Elders to move this Floating Island away. Replace the training ground with a larger Floating Island, and there will be no more God Tablet Platform.”

After giving his instructions, Jun Lingxiao continued to watch the scene, feeling only a sense of wonder. With Dao power, a light stroke along the crack had actually destroyed such a sturdy base. And, even more incredibly, he even vaguely glimpsed a corner of the future from it.

“Only by imbuing Dao power, or using Dao techniques to destroy the cracks, can it be disintegrated from its Origin.”

“If anything with a weakness can be broken, does that mean even the Heavens can be broken?” Jun Lingxiao lowered his head, lost in thought, as a bold idea surfaced in his mind. And when he turned his head, an even greater surprise appeared before his eyes.

It was something he had racked his brains over, unable to comprehend.

“The Divine Gate born with the Heavens and Earth, but no matter how I searched, I found no trace. So… you were here all along…”

Behind Jun Lingxiao, in a place only he could see, an ancient golden gate stood, with the characters for 'Heaven' and 'Earth' particularly dazzling on it.

Undoubtedly, this was the… Heaven and Earth Divine Gate that the Old Ancestor had painstakingly sought.
