The Goddess Chronicles: Starting by Holding the Fairy's Fate in His Hands

Lin Yi quickly put away those messy thoughts.

Danger lurks everywhere now; this is not the time for idle thoughts.

He took out the Jueling Sect disciple token.

Upon seeing the token, Shu Yuhan's expression changed drastically. "Immortal Master! Where did you get this?"

"Qin Hongmei gave it to me."

"What?!"

Shu Yuhan exclaimed in shock, "She's committed a grave taboo in the entire Daughter Kingdom! Giving the token to an outsider without permission is tantamount to betraying her family!"

Lin Yi's mind went blank!

No wonder she swallowed back what she was saying halfway through!

No wonder she didn't come looking for me!

It turns out she paid such a high price for herself!

"Hongmei, you wait! If I can establish myself here, I'll definitely come back for you!"

Just then...

"roar!"

Several swamp crocodiles lunged forward, their jaws wide open.

Knowing he couldn't win, Lin Yi grabbed Shu Yuhan and ran, yelling, "Run!"

But then several more crocodiles emerged from the surrounding puddles, completely blocking the road.

It looks like it's about to be over...

"Hiss!"

A dark shadow shot out of the swamp like lightning and wrapped around the neck of a crocodile salamander!

"Snap!"

The salamander's neck was snapped!

The shadow landed on the ground and transformed into a small, jet-black snake!

Behind it, a huge snake head, like a small hill, slowly emerged from the water.

Two snakes, one large and one small, quickly dealt with the remaining alligator salamanders!

The little black snake happily swam to Lin Yi's feet and rubbed its head against his trouser leg.

Lin Yi was both surprised and delighted. "Little guy, you've gained quite a bit of weight!"

"I'm barely able to take care of myself right now. You should stick with that big shot for now. I'll definitely come back for you once I find a way out!"

The little black snake seemed to understand his words, and exhaled a wisp of its primal energy, which coiled around his wrist, turning into a faint mark.

After doing all this, it followed the giant snake, turning back every few steps, and sank into the depths of the swamp.

Shu Yuhan's eyes nearly popped out of her head as she watched.

Following the token's guidance, Lin Yi led Shu Yuhan to the bluestone plaza hidden deep in the swamp.

On the way, Shu Yuhan said that the Jueling Sect was just one of many immortal sects.

To get in, the most basic requirement is to be able to find the guide point while still alive.

Just as I stood still, an old man with white hair, wearing an old Taoist robe, appeared in the middle of the square like a ghost.

He glanced at the token in Lin Yi's hand and nodded.

Upon seeing Shu Yuhan, his brows immediately furrowed. "I am Qingming Zhenren! You only have one token; according to the rules, I can only take one person with me!"

"Those who are not involved, get out of here."

Lin Yi cursed the old stubborn man in his heart, but forced a smile on his face.

He gritted his teeth and took out two low-grade spirit stones from his pocket.

At the same time, he reached out and put his arm around Shu Yuhan's waist, pulling her into his embrace.

Shu Yuhan's body tensed up abruptly as Lin Yi's low voice reached her ears, "Don't move. If you want to live, listen to me."

He held the spirit stones out in his palm and offered them to Qingming Zhenren, "Immortal Master, could you use these to exchange for a spot for my wife? My wife and I don't want to be separated!"

"She definitely won't survive if we leave her here alone!"

Shu Yuhan felt uncomfortable being called "wife" by him, but she could only lower her head and remain silent.

When Qingming Zhenren saw the spirit stone, his eyes lit up!

"This...this is a spirit stone?!"

Master Qingming snatched the spirit stone, examining it closely, his hands trembling. "Young brother! Where did this spirit stone come from?!"

"I found these next to a skeleton in a cave; these are the only two pieces left."

A glint of greed flashed in Qingming Zhenren's eyes. He quickly stuffed the spirit stones into his pocket, forcing a smile. "Seeing your sincerity, I'll make an exception this time. Come along!"

He was overjoyed. "I'm rich! In this godforsaken place, spirit stones are priceless treasures!"

Lin Yi rolled his eyes inwardly at his manic excitement. "They're just two broken stones! I have several hundred dollars in my pocket!"

Little did he know that in this place devoid of spiritual energy, even a low-grade spirit stone could cause Foundation Establishment cultivators to fight tooth and nail for it.

Two spirit stones appeared together.

For Master Qingming, who had been guarding this godforsaken place for countless years, it was like a beggar who had been starving for hundreds of years suddenly seeing two mountains of gold!

A long time passed.

Qingming Zhenren suppressed his excitement and led them through a layer of mist.

A mountain forest appeared before us.

As soon as Lin Yi stepped inside, he sensed a faint trace of spiritual energy in the air!

Although it can't even compare to the poorest desolate mountain in the Tianxuan Continent, it's already a miracle in this lifeless place.

But when he saw the so-called Spirit-Slaying Gate, his eyes almost popped out!

A few crooked thatched huts and wooden houses surround a dilapidated bluestone courtyard... Is this the Immortal Sect?!

"Holy crap! This is so shabby! Even the menial workers at the Pill Cauldron Sect live a hundred times better than this!"

But then I thought about it again.

He then changed his mind, "Oh well, in this wretched place, it's good enough to have a place to shelter from the wind and rain."

Shu Yuhan's eyes welled up with tears of excitement. "This is the legendary Immortal Sect... I've really entered the Immortal Sect..."

Lin Yi and Shu Yuhan, the imposters, were stuffed into a small wooden hut by Master Qingming.

Lin Yi's lips twitched. "Is this the prestige of a cultivation sect?"

He secretly released his divine sense to scan the area, and his heart sank to the ground.

There were only a few disciples, and they were all meditating desperately, wishing they could absorb all the pitiful spiritual energy in the air.

They were all at the Qi Refining stage, even the Qingming True Person who guided them was only at the early Foundation Establishment stage!

"To be able to cultivate to the Foundation Establishment stage in such a dilapidated place, this old thing must be a monster who has lived for hundreds of years?"

A disciple in charge came to inform them: New disciples don't have to do anything but cultivate, and they will be given one Spirit Gathering Grass per year.

Lin Yi glanced at the drooping grass in the herb garden; its spiritual energy was less than that of the wild grass by the roadside!

"This is terrible! This isn't cultivating immortality; it's practically waiting to die in jail!"

Shu Yuhan was so excited that she immediately sat down to sense the spiritual energy.

But no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't draw that little bit of spiritual energy into her body!

It's not that she's not talented, it's just that this place is really awful!

She was sweating profusely with anxiety.

Lin Yi clearly has several hundred spirit stones, but would he dare to take them out?

To flaunt one's wealth in front of this group of desperately poor monks.

That's practically suicide!

"Lin Yi, why aren't you cultivating?" Shu Yuhan asked him.

Lin Yi yawned, "That little bit of spiritual energy isn't even enough to fill a tooth gap."

Shu Yuhan was speechless, choked by his attitude.

Lin Yi learned some news: the once-in-a-decade Demon Suppression Guard dispatch is about to begin!

This time, the Empress of the Women's Kingdom, who is also the Holy Maiden of the Spirit-Slaying Sect, personally led the team.

New disciples who perform well can go to the Demon Abyss to watch the excitement!

"The Abyss of Demons!"

Lin Yi's eyes lit up immediately. "Perfect timing! Let's go see what that awful place looks like. Maybe we can find a way out!"

He dares not touch those spirit stones now, for fear of being targeted.

He was just one step away from reaching the first level of Qi Refining, while Shu Yuhan was still lingering outside the door.

What to do?

Lin Yi glanced at Shu Yuhan's voluptuous figure, and an idea popped into his head.

Dual cultivation!

He shamelessly leaned close to Shu Yuhan's ear and mumbled the words "dual cultivation".

"Shameless!"

Shu Yuhan shoved him away, her face flushed crimson. "If you keep talking nonsense, don't blame me for being rude!"

Lin Yi awkwardly stepped aside.

Two days have passed.

Shu Yuhan tried again and again, but failed every time.

Overcome with anger and anxiety, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

She looked at the bloodstains on her fingertips, her eyes filled with despair.

In the stillness of the night.

She walked up to Lin Yi, who was resting with his eyes closed, and whispered, "The method you mentioned the other day... really worked?"

In her mind, improving her strength to suppress the Demon Abyss was the most important thing!

Personal reputation can wait!

Lin Yi looked at Shu Yuhan, who was trembling all over and had a flushed face.

I've been holding in my temper for the past few days, and I just can't take it anymore!

Moreover.

He had been lusting after this woman's body for a long time!

The next moment, inside the cabin, dry wood blazed into a blazing fire.

The wind and rain finally stopped after a long time!

Lin Yi felt completely refreshed, and his cultivation level soared, directly reaching the third level of Qi Refining!

Shu Yuhan's spiritual power suddenly burst forth, and the threshold that had trapped her for so long was instantly broken through!

One layer of Qi refinement, done!

She felt the spiritual energy flowing within her body, her eyes filled with shock and joy.

……

three days later.

Lin Yi has already broken through to the fifth level of Qi Refining, and Shu Yuhan is about to break through to the second level of Qi Refining!

That day, an elder accidentally discovered Lin Yi's cultivation level and was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped to the ground.

"This kid...this talent...you wouldn't see one like him for tens of thousands of years!"

The news spread throughout the entire Jueling Sect in an instant, causing a stir from top to bottom!

After some discussion, the higher-ups made an exception and selected Lin Yi as the strongest newcomer, sending him to the Demon Abyss to witness the ceremony.

But this ignited the jealousy in the hearts of those senior disciples.

A senior disciple, who had been studying for five years and had a long face, jumped out, his features contorted in disbelief. "Impossible!"

"I've been working myself to the bone for five years, and I've only just reached the second level of Qi Refining!"

"How dare he, a good-for-nothing who's only been here a few days, reach the fifth level of Qi Refining?!"

He was acting like a madman; his Dao heart was almost shattered.

The senior disciples around him were also devastated, and their eyes were filled with jealousy and hatred as they looked at Lin Yi.

Lin Yi looked embarrassed.

"Damn it, it's all that woman Shu Yuhan's fault! She wants it every day, every night... It's certainly incredibly pleasurable, but her cultivation speed is just too outrageous!"

"Demonic arts! He must be practicing demonic arts!"

The horse-faced disciple shouted at the top of his lungs, "Only a demon cub could move this fast! He's a spy sent by the demons!"

The elders' faces darkened.

"This kind of progress is absolutely impossible to achieve through the righteous path!"

"It's definitely a demon, no doubt about it!"

A disciple whispered in the elder's ear, "Elder, the fluctuations in the Demon Abyss Seal are strange today. It's too coincidental that it coincides with this kid's sudden surge in cultivation."

An elder's eyes hardened, and he slammed his hand on the armrest of his chair. "Arrest this brat first, and take him to the Demon Abyss so the Holy Maiden can examine him personally!"

"If it's a demon, kill it on the spot!"

The disciples suddenly surrounded Lin Yi, trapping him in the middle.

Lin Yi was so angry he laughed.

Explain? What's the point of explaining to these idiots!

He simply couldn't be bothered to argue.

"Alright, let's take this opportunity to go to the Demon Abyss and see what it's like."

He snorted coldly, offering no resistance, and allowed the law enforcement officers to put shackles on him.

At worst, I can absorb all the spirit stones and directly restore my cultivation to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Who is afraid of who?

"Walk!"

A group of people escorted Lin Yi towards the Demon Abyss!

Lin Yi was escorted forward by the disciples of the Jueling Sect.

He glanced around coldly, secretly delighted.

This group looks impressive, but it's all just for show.

His disciples were only at the ninth level of Qi Refining, and the nine elders were only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

Each of them had weak and unstable auras, clearly indicating that they were novices who had never experienced actual combat.

"With so few people, I can leave whenever I want."

The further the group went, the more unsettling the environment became.

A chilling aura hung in the air!

It's demonic energy!

Dark gray fog permeated the air, making it difficult to even breathe properly.

Just then, a commotion came from ahead.

A streak of light flashed by, and a group of people landed.

The leader was a woman dressed in white.

She was stunningly beautiful, with a cool and aloof demeanor, and exuded the aura of a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"It's Her Highness the Holy Maiden!"

Everyone bowed in unison.

Lin Yi narrowed his eyes.

This woman is Rong Qianqin, the Holy Maiden of the Jueling Sect.

She was also the empress of the Women's Kingdom!

Her gaze swept across the crowd, finally settling on Lin Yi.

What shocked Lin Yi even more was...

He spotted a familiar figure among the demon-suppressing guards behind the saintess!

Qin Hongmei?!

What is she doing here?

Shouldn't she be at the Qin family's house?

Qin Hongmei also saw Lin Yi.

Their eyes met, and her eyes widened suddenly.

She rushed out of the ranks and knelt on one knee before Rong Qianqin, "Your Majesty, please see the truth! Lin Yi is definitely not a demon! I, Qin Hongmei, am willing to stake my life on this!"

Rong Qianqin glanced at the excited Qin Hongmei, then at the calm Lin Yi.

She raised her hand and made a hand seal, and a ray of spiritual light enveloped Lin Yi's entire body.

A moment later, surprise flashed in Rong Qianqin's eyes: "This kid actually has the Myriad Spirits Physique! If we can subdue him, the Demon Abyss seal can be saved!"

She suppressed her excitement and said calmly, "This person is not a demon."

The elders looked at each other, their expressions awkward.

Lin Yi stared at Qin Hongmei: "Hongmei! Why did you become a Demon Suppression Guard?!"

Qin Hongmei smiled bitterly, "This is my own choice. Protecting the Kingdom of Women is the mission of my Qin family."

Lin Yi cursed inwardly, then turned to Rong Qianqin: "Holy Maiden! What conditions are required to save her?"

Rong Qianqin sized him up, then suddenly said, "I need a Daoist partner! If you agree to be my husband, I will let her leave the Demon Suppression Guard, how about it?"

The entire audience erupted in uproar!

Everyone was stunned!

Lin Yi was startled.

He had no choice but to save this foolish woman.

"Alright! I promise you! From today onwards, I will be your Daoist partner! Make sure Qin Hongmei leaves safely immediately!"

Rong Qianqin's lips curled up slightly: "It's a deal."

Qin Hongmei was relieved of her status as a Demon Suppression Guard and followed a disciple, looking back every few steps.

Lin Yi was brought to Rong Qianqin's side.

He sneered inwardly, "A Daoist partner? They're just after my flesh and blood."

"Alright, each of us takes what we need."

……

Led by Rong Qianqin, the group finally arrived at the entrance to the Demon Abyss!

An oppressive feeling that made it hard to breathe came over me!

Before me lay a massive, bottomless chasm that stretched across the earth!

The thick, dark demonic energy surged up from the bottom of the abyss like boiling waves, crashing against the light curtain above the crack!

The light screen was covered with countless cracks!

Demonic energy is seeping out from these cracks!

What shocked Lin Yi even more was that there were hundreds of stone pillars standing below the light screen!

A demon-suppressing guard sits atop each stone pillar!

They are burning their lives, pouring their essence into the light barrier, and repairing those cracks!

Some people's vital energy and blood dried up, turning them into white bones that fell down and were instantly swallowed by demonic energy!

New demon-suppressing guards were immediately dispatched to replace them!

"They're sacrificing themselves to fill the holes in the formation! They're risking their lives!"

Lin Yi felt a chill run down his spine.

This is clearly a war of attrition that has lasted for tens of thousands of years and is fought with blood and flesh!

"Let's begin."

Rong Qianqin's cool voice rang out.

The members of the Extinction Spirit Sect took their positions and channeled their spiritual energy into beams of light, pouring them into the cracks in the light barrier.

After an unknown amount of time, the last crack was repaired, and the demonic energy was forced back into the abyss.

The reinforcement ceremony is finally over.

But the weight on everyone's heart hasn't lightened at all.

before.

They only come to reinforce it once every hundred years.

Now, it takes countless lives of the Demon Suppression Guards every ten years just to barely keep going.
