Projection of the Heavens: I prove my immortality through slaughter.

The ancient road through the starry sky is vast and boundless. The ripples of law and the resonance of the Great Dao caused by Lin Xuan's "Grand Vow of the Underworld" have gradually subsided in this void, but its influence is like a boulder thrown into a calm lake. The ripples are spreading and transmitting to higher levels of the universe at a speed exceeding the speed of light, along some kind of mysterious network of laws.

...The Celestial Realm, the Heavenly Patrol Bureau.

This place is not located on any specific star or continent, but rather it is a magnificent celestial palace suspended above an endless sea of ​​clouds, forged from countless pieces of white jade and immortal gold.

The palaces stretched endlessly, every tile imbued with Taoist principles, every beam and pillar engraved with the laws of nature.

This is one of the important institutions that oversees all the heavens and myriad realms and maintains the order of the "Heavenly Way".

Just as Lin Xuanhong's words fell silent.

Deep within the Sky Patrol Bureau, a colossal compass, filled with countless starlight points and seemingly encompassing a cosmic star map, suddenly shone brightly!

In the center of the compass, among the hundreds of points of light representing the "Ancient Starry Road" region of the lower realm, one point of light was flashing intensely with an extremely unusual light that was mixed with gray and dark gold colors. The frequency of the light was getting faster and faster, and the light was getting brighter and brighter!

"Buzz—!" The piercing alarm bell instantly resounded throughout the palace.

A celestial official guarding the area suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze instantly locking onto the unusual point of light, as if the sun and moon were revolving within them. His fingers moved rapidly, calculating, and celestial laws flowed around him as he attempted to deduce its origin. A moment later, his expression changed drastically, a flash of shock and anger crossing his eyes.

"On the ancient path of the lower realm, someone has violated the taboo of reincarnation! And... has even made a grand vow to establish their own underworld and reshape reincarnation?!"

This is outrageous! The cycle of reincarnation is one of the cornerstones of the celestial realm's rule over all heavens and its balance of life and death. It is an ironclad rule that no mortal being is allowed to touch or even attempt to alter! Such behavior is tantamount to a blatant challenge to the authority of the celestial court and is an unforgivable crime!

"Where is the Celestial Envoy?!" the celestial official shouted sternly.

"Your subordinates are here!" In a flash of light, three figures appeared silently in the hall, kneeling on one knee.

They were dressed in standard bright silver immortal armor, with pure immortal light flowing over the armor, runes appearing and disappearing, and their auras were profound and powerful. They had all reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, and were only one step away from becoming gods!

The leader, with a cold and arrogant expression and a celestial sword exuding a chilling aura at his waist, was none other than Leng Yue, the Celestial Envoy who led the team down to the mortal realm.

"The ancient road to the lower realm has been marked with coordinates." The celestial official pointed to the unusually flashing light on the compass, his voice icy. "A rebellious cultivator has touched the taboo of reincarnation and made a great rebellious vow."

You shall immediately descend to the mortal realm, capture this fiend, and investigate the cause of his death. If he resists, kill him without mercy! You must uphold the order of Heaven!

"I will obey your decree!" A cold glint flashed in the eyes of the Cold Moon Immortal Envoy, and a disdainful smile curled at the corner of her lips.

Cultivating in the lower realms? Most likely some ignorant native who got a little luck and became arrogant, daring to talk about reincarnation? They're really courting death!

He led two deputies, and with a single step, his figure vanished from the main hall. The Celestial Patrol Bureau had a special "lower realm passage" that allowed them to descend to the myriad realms in their true forms.

...On the ancient starry road, Lin Xuan was walking slowly through a relatively tranquil nebula, experiencing the subtle changes in his Dao heart and nascent soul after making his grand vow.

Although the illusory image of the Netherworld Dao Foundation was not solidified, it kept his understanding of life, death, and reincarnation constantly active.

Suddenly! The void not far in front of him began to twist violently without warning! It was as if a pair of invisible hands were forcibly tearing apart the spatial barrier.

A dazzling, pure white beam of light, imbued with an aura of undeniable majesty, suddenly pierced through the distorted center of space and shone directly into the void!

As the pillar of light dissipated, three figures shrouded in a hazy, ethereal light appeared out of thin air.

The leader was none other than the Cold Moon Immortal Envoy. He stood with his hands behind his back, his bright silver immortal armor gleaming, and his cold eyes, like two cold stars, instantly locked onto the figure in black robes not far away.

The pressure emanating from him, a power akin to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator at the Great Perfection stage, spread out like a tidal wave, carrying a sense of "quality" oppression from a higher level of world, far surpassing that of cultivators of the same level in the lower realm.

The surrounding starlight seemed to be repelled by this oppressive force, forming a unique domain.

The two deputy envoys behind him also possessed powerful auras and cold eyes, looking at Lin Xuan as if he were an ant.

"Lower realm cultivators, state your names!" Immortal Envoy Lengyue spoke, her voice not loud, yet containing the power of immortal laws, like rolling thunder, directly resounding in Lin Xuan's divine soul sea, carrying a condescending interrogation tone.

Lin Xuan stopped and looked up, his gaze calmly sweeping over the three uninvited guests. The immortal aura emanating from them and their standard armor instantly revealed their origins to him.

"The Celestial Patrol Division?" He asked indifferently, without the slightest emotional fluctuation.

"Now that you know our origins, why don't you kneel down and answer us!" a deputy envoy shouted sternly, his voice like a knife, attempting to intimidate them with his power.

The Cold Moon Immortal waved her hand to stop the deputy envoy, but the arrogance and coldness in her eyes were even greater.

He looked Lin Xuan up and down, sensing the aura of someone who had only recently entered the Nascent Soul stage (Lin Xuan deliberately concealed it), and his disdain intensified.

"So it was you who dared to disrupt the cycle of reincarnation here, making that treasonous vow?" The Cold Moon Immortal's voice was icy, like a thousand years of frozen ice. "The order of reincarnation is ordained by the Celestial Court and the will of Heaven. How dare you, mere ants from the lower realm, presume to discuss it or even attempt to alter it?"

"Immediately abandon your ridiculous grand ambitions, hand over all your insights and gains about reincarnation, and come with us back to the Celestial Patrol Division for investigation. Perhaps we can spare a trace of your true spirit for reincarnation. Otherwise..." He paused slightly, and the immortal light around him suddenly intensified. The terrifying pressure, like a tangible mountain, crashed down on Lin Xuan, and the void groaned under the unbearable pressure.

"Destroy both body and soul, forever imprisoned in the Nine Netherworlds!" The last four words, like a thunderclap, echoed across the starry sky, carrying a chilling killing intent and an undeniable sense of judgment. Celestial might, like a prison, enveloped all directions!

Under the pressure of this pure, higher-level power, ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators from the lower realms would probably tremble with fear, their Dao hearts unstable, and they would be unable to muster the slightest thought of resistance.

However, Lin Xuan remained standing there quietly. His black robe fluttered slightly in the deliberate surge of pressure from the other party, but his figure remained as immovable as an ancient rock.

The celestial might, powerful enough to crush stars, fell upon him as if a gentle breeze were brushing across a mountain, failing to cause the slightest ripple. He slowly raised his head, his eyes, deep as the eternal starry sky, meeting the cold and arrogant gaze of the Cold Moon Immortal Envoy.

A faint, yet chillingly cold, smile seemed to curve at the corners of his lips. "Inspection?" "Disperse the grand ambition?"

"Completely destroyed, body and soul?" He repeated the other person's words softly, and with each word he uttered, the surrounding temperature seemed to drop a fraction.

Finally, he shook his head, looked at the Cold Moon Immortal Envoy with the same gaze he would give a clown trying to attract attention, and uttered three words indifferently: "You dare to challenge me?"
