Zhao Xiaoyu suppressed her shock and sweetly said,
With your means, Senior Apprentice-Sister, it is not hard to hide from me. But since I managed to find you, this proves that I can still get The Sutra of the Total Annihilation of the Dharma. As for any of your needs, Senior Apprentice-Sister, little sister’s principle is to consent.

Those gentle words were like a layer of shapeless ripples, causing the piece of Shapeless District to hold down. It was as if Bai Shaoliu saw white light emanating from the layers of snow and from on top of the igloo. It was consistently bright all around and not a shadow was seen.
Out came a beautiful young woman from the igloo. It was Zhou Ling, Zhao Xiaoyu’s Senior Apprentice-Sister. Compared to previously, she looked younger by about 10 years. The hair on her temples were like clouds, her skin was like snow, with a pair of eyes akin to the murmurs of clear water, even girls who saw her might be entranced.
Zhou Ling spoke softly,
Junior Apprentice-Sister, you have never done these things for anyone ever before. Does your heart really think that highly of him?

Smiling, Zhou Xiaoyu replied,
Not that highly, but exceedingly higher.




It seems you have not changed one bit. You still do not shy away from your inner thoughts. Perhaps this was the reason why Master passed down the orthodoxy to you, but only I have no way to understand it. You, who pursued Dao wholeheartedly, yet still bearing emotions.
said Zhou Ling, as she looked into Zhao Xiaoyu’s deep eyes.
Zhao Xiaoyu gently said,
Some things are just this intriguing. Some things you have never even thought about suddenly happens but you will not let yourself be half as surprised, and instead treat it as it should be expected. Just like Senior Apprentice-Sister who sought refuge here, having already completely forgotten the thoughts of being determined to seek revenge against Lu Jiuyuan, and by accident obtained the true meaning of ‘The Sutra of the Total Annihilation of the Dharma’.

Soft came the reply,
Your wisdom, insight, and cultivation experience, they are all miles ahead of me. Suppose I remain steadfast in my unwillingness to pass The Sutra of the Total Annihilation of the Dharma to you, I fear that you may raise a hand to me with no hesitation whatsoever.

Zhao Xiaoyu kept silent, as if displaying acquiescence. This was her pattern all along.
Zhou Ling then said,
If today the person with The Sutra of the Total Annihilation of the Dharma was Master, and she also is unwilling to pass it to you, would you still insist on it?

Zhao Xiaoyu bore a calm demeanor,
This is the difference between you and I, Senior Apprentice-Sister. If you would stand in my shoes, I would not ask this way. Similarly, I will not give up even if what you said was the reality.


Long ago, you were not willing to give me the token from the divine ruins. At present, I will also not let you have the The Sutra of the Total Annihilation of the Dharma so easily, and nor will I request you to do anything. That is why I am taking advantage of this opportunity that we, as Apprentice-Sisters, may resolve antecedents. From now onwards, we will never again meet, in life and in death.
Zhou Ling coldly said.
Zhao Xiaoyu glanced deeply at her:
Never again to meet, in life and death.

Zhou Ling darted her gaze at Bai Shaoliu, and plainly said,
Walk away along the South side, and do not come back.

Bai Shaoliu was about to speak, but said nothing. Eventually he walked towards the South, his head held low. From the looks of it, a battle looked set to be underway.


Both were silent for 15 minutes. Zhou Ling chanted softly, and as if breathing out The Dao of Subtlety. Every syllable caused Zhao Xiaoyu’s mind and spirit to tremble, as if each slap of the drumming beat and each beat of the heart were one. It was extremely hard to bear.
She deeply understood this to be edification of The Sutra of the Total Annihilation of the Dharma. Without a doubt, Zhou Ling obtained its true essence, but she has not cultivated to its most extreme level, so she intended to use the sound curse to incite The Sutra of the Total Annihilation of the Dharma to unleash its powers. All the same Zhao Xiaoyu had no way to block it, as it was the very same thing which she came to obtain.
For this type of situation where the course of events are particularly hard to bear, Zhao Xiaoyu committed each syllable to her memory, inscribed them in the recesses of her spirit. At the same time the powers of The Sutra of the Total Annihilation of the Dharma were imprinted on her body, as if it were a red hot branding iron, annihilating her divine powers bit by bit.
No matter how much was the pain she had to bear, she never complained, her mind and spirit remained calm as the water.
Life was hard, but there were some things that could turn all that pain and suffering into happiness.
Both of them were hauling their Qi dynamic, Zhou Ling could also clearly feel that part of Zhao Xiaoyu’s tranquil satisfaction. She knew the taste of emotions, but when she was enamoured it was not the same as Zhao Xiaoyu’s peaceful joy. Moreover, that person died long ago by Lu Jiuyuan’s hands.
A twinge of jealousy grew in Zhou Ling. She felt jealous of Zhao Xiaoyu’s stability, of Master’s favouritism towards Zhao Xiaoyu, of Zhao Xiaoyu’s talent. Whether being in command of the Great Teachings, or in the formula of cultivation, Zhao Xiaoyu always caught up and eventually went miles ahead of her.
In the end, after breathing out the last syllable, a roll of thunder sounded, as if judgement was passed from the heavens. Bolts of lightning fell towards the ground. Thick as a python, they rolled down and caused the icebergs all around to shatter into countless icicles, which flew about in all directions. Heaven and earth entered a state of chaos.
Much of the The Total Annihilation of the Dharma, was naturally a scene of the end of times. The most terrifying power of The Sutra of the Total Annihilation of the Dharma was when it merged with God’s punishment, both punishing the Qi cultivators and all the sentient brings in the world, annihilating the Law of Detachment, returning heaven and earth to Ching Ning.
After the lightning came countless sparks. The icebergs melted, the layers of ice collapsed, drifting along with the current, which surged and swept everything. When faced with this immense power, every living creature seemed low.


But Zhao Xiaoyu obviously was not an example of such lowliness. She licked her vermillion lips, stood up on a piece of iceberg, and went with the flow of the wave. More than just waves, a large one which contained numerous hard icicles rushed and headed her way, but once they reached in front of her they all dissipated.
However, just to calm down the scene was not in her capabilities. Because the icebergs contained spiritual forces spanning over innumerable years, it led to vital force of the universe in the area to become more chaotic beyond comparison. She could only use her own divine power to drown out the hardship and force herself to remember the The Sutra of the Total Annihilation of the Dharma, which then caused her divine power to drop from the tenth stop to the ninth stop.
The thunder was dispelled at some point, displaying a clear and starry sky, with countless bright stars of the universe, as if they were right in front of one’s eyes. At the same time, the star power gathered together, and actually had no less heat than the heat of the sun, causing Zhao Xiaoyu to be surrounded with ice water as the iceberg she was on suddenly and completely melted. The Qi of Vitality madly exploded, and coupled with the cold water, it began to boil, causing Zhao Xiaoyu to be placed in the middle of a fog. Not only was it hot, but she also could not tell left from right.
Trapped in the white fog, Zhao Xiaoyu’s heart was as calm as the cold tide, and closed her eyes. No matter how strong she let her Nine Lotus Great Spell become, she feared it would be hard to use her divine thoughts to drive a part of the Qi of Vitality, passing through like a fish in water to the heavens and earth until that point where all the Qi of Vitality became like an enemy towards her. If it were to touch her divine thoughts just a bit, it would result in an explosion of the Qi of Vitality.
It turns out that even the minutest amount of Qi of vitality can still have a shocking mighty force, once it explodes. This led to her divine thoughts being extremely uncomfortable.
If she wished to come out of this alive, she could not display her Nine Lotus Miedi just like she did with Yanxu. If she displayed it this time, she feared it really would be incorrigible.
The only way was to heavily defeat Senior Apprentice-Sister in this shroud, then only can the day be reopened. Otherwise, she could only die alive in this battlefield of all The Total Annihilation of the Dharma.
The quieter Zhao Xiaoyu’s heart was, the more she could feel the intricate surroundings of the heaven and earth, her divine thoughts received the baptism of numerous explosions of the Qi of Vitality, gradually condensing just like Vajra.
She bore a smile and looked far out of the fog, unhurriedly calling out,
Senior Apprentice-Sister, for The Sutra of the Total Annihilation of the Dharma, you have yet to cultivate to the extent of The Mantra of Total Annihilation.

Zhao Xiaoyu noted something undoubtedly conclusive. The Nine Lotus Great Spell existed deep within her heart, and was not affected by The Sutra of the Total Annihilation of the Dharma.
