Cliffside of the East China Sea.

The surging waves.

It relentlessly pounded against the shore.

At night, Ziyue, dressed in a loose gray-blue Taoist robe, sat on the edge of the cliff looking at the sea, playing with a black stone in her hand.

The little black cat with one missing leg lay beside Ziyue.

A gentle breeze swept by, and Zi Yue felt refreshed. Even the moonlight seemed gentler. She turned around and saw Qin Luo, dressed in white, appear nearby.

"Senior brother!"

Ziyue was overjoyed.

Qin Luo smiled and said, "Junior Sister."

Zi Yue stood up, her eyes smiling. "Senior brother, what brings you here?"

Qin Luo looked at the starry sky and said, "I'm planning a long journey and may not be back for a long time."

Zi Yue guessed that her senior brother's journey must be extraordinary, otherwise he wouldn't have come to say goodbye. "Senior brother, is there anything I can do to help you?"

Qin Luo smiled and said softly, "Junior Sister, I hope you are happy every day."

"Senior brother, you too."

Zi Yue nodded with a smile.

Qin Luo and Zi Yue sat on the edge of the cliff chatting, sharing their experiences, while the little black cat slept soundly.

Zi Yue handed the black stone in her hand to Qin Luo, her eyes filled with a smile. "Senior brother, you are an expert in Go. I think you should be able to unlock the secrets of this black stone."

Qin Luo took the mysterious black stone. When he held it up to the starry sky, he saw intricate golden patterns on it, like intersecting avenues, with countless stars falling on these intersecting points.

"I see!"

Qin Luo saw through the mystery: "The real killing formation is hidden in the starry sky, using the stars of the heavens as the array!"

"As expected of my senior brother, he saw through the mystery at a glance. I haven't been able to figure it out all these years."

Zi Yue's eyes were filled with admiration.

The black stone in Qin Luo's hand burst forth with dazzling golden light. "Junior Sister, close your eyes!"

Zi Yue didn't ask any more questions and simply closed her eyes. Then she discovered that many golden patterns had appeared in her body.

When Zi Yue opened her eyes, her eyes were filled with stars. The black stone in Qin Luo's hand turned to dust. He smiled and said, "Junior Sister, I have imprinted this killing array into your body. You can now activate the killing array at will. You must use this power to protect yourself."

Zi Yue was both surprised and delighted. She covered her mouth and chuckled, "Senior brother, with such strong power, you're just protecting yourself?"

Qin Luo smiled slightly and said softly, "Junior Sister, I believe you will make good use of this power."

Zi Yue nodded heavily.

Qin Luo continued, "Junior Sister, if you have time, go back to Longhu Temple."

"OK."

Ziyue smiled.

"Junior Sister, I'm leaving now."

Qin Luo's body slowly rose up, surrounded by a pure aura, like floating clouds.

Ziyue's eyes were filled with reluctance.

"Junior sister, you are good in the past and present. Don't let yourself be trapped by shackles."

Zi Yue watched Qin Luo disappear, her eyes filled with tears, and nodded, saying, "Senior brother, I know."

...

Deep in the starry sky, a chaotic sea.

Two majestic figures, like two suns, stood in the chaotic sea, their light dazzling. The Buddha and the Confucian patriarch joined forces to stop the extraterrestrial demons from launching a massive invasion.

The Buddha's golden body developed cracks during the battle, and the Confucian patriarch was dressed in rags and covered in wounds. Even though they were seriously injured, they did not retreat a single step.

The extraterrestrial demons were numerous, surging in like a tide. Some had ferocious faces, while others had human appearances. Even the weakest extraterrestrial demon possessed strength comparable to a Celestial King.

A majestic figure dressed in white arrived at the Chaos Sea. He appeared beside the Buddha and the founder of Confucianism. With a wave of his hand, the figure stirred up golden ripples in the Chaos Sea.

Wherever the ripples reached, the extraterrestrial demons were annihilated one after another. The Buddha and the Confucian patriarch had a chance to catch their breath. They looked at the suddenly appearing, towering figure. Near that figure was a figure in white, which was Qin Luo's true form. The one who had just made a move was his past self cultivated using the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones technique.

Qin Luo bowed to the Buddha and the founder of Confucianism, saying, "Thank you for your contributions, seniors."

Buddha clasped his hands together, a kind smile on his face, and said, "Amitabha, we also want to thank you, Daoist Master. You have made a great contribution to the Three Realms. Without your support, we might not have been able to hold on long ago."

The Confucian founder said earnestly, "Yes, thank you, young friend, for enabling us to persevere until now."

Qin Luo asked softly, "Seniors, do you know the way to the other side?"

The Buddha said solemnly, "Deep in the Chaos Sea there is an ancient road. Legend has it that the ancient road leads to the other shore, but it is extremely dangerous there."

The Confucian patriarch frowned slightly. "Young friend, why do you wish to travel to the other shore?"

Qin Luo did not hide anything and said softly, "Senior, I come from the other shore, but I don't remember the way I came."

Both Buddha and the Confucian patriarch showed expressions of shock. Qin Luo said earnestly, "Senior, before I leave, I will help you defeat these extraterrestrial demons."

"Thank you, young friend!"

The Buddha and the founder of Confucianism nodded with smiles.

Qin Luo's past self walked ahead, with extraterrestrial demons constantly surging towards him. He formed a sword finger and unleashed a snow-white sword light, carrying endless chill, dispelling the darkness before him even further. The extraterrestrial demons were frozen the moment they were struck by the sword light, and then shattered into pieces, like snowflakes falling from the sky.

The Buddha and the Confucian patriarch made their moves in succession. A golden hand, resembling an ancient divine mountain, struck out, instantly turning a large number of extraterrestrial demons into dust. A giant sword formed from righteous energy cleaved across 30,000 miles in an instant, sweeping across the entire area.

The extraterrestrial demons were retreating in defeat. Just then, a massive demonic shadow, large enough to cover the starry sky, suddenly appeared and attacked Qin Luo, unleashing a world-destroying beam of light.
