I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

This is practically a human lie detector; Lin Yi can naturally guess what Lan Yu is thinking.

She would send a message to remind him, mostly because of Jiang Linglong.

But she dared not reveal the reason, most likely because Jiang Linglong was involved in too many things.

He was once Jiang Ziya, once an enlightened immortal, and was even hated by the Venerable Miaofa. His bones are engraved with various runes.

All the clues were telling Lin Yi that Jiang Linglong was no ordinary person.

When her identity is not simple, the causal relationships she is involved in are naturally not simple either.

However, since Lan Yu didn't say anything, Lin Yi didn't force her. Instead, he simply changed the subject and asked, "You're injured. How do you plan to heal it?"

Lin Yi didn't know much about the internal affairs of the Seven True Lords, but Lan Yu might know.

As expected, Lan Yu replied, "I was injured by the divine artifact Chang Gen. Only a divine artifact of the same level can break the power left by the divine artifact."

Long roots belong to the wood element, and only the metal and fire elements can counter them.

Lan Yu also has a divine artifact, but since she is associated with water, her artifact will only make the power of growth stronger, causing her to die even faster.

Green Ivy was actually lying before; she had been targeting Blue Rain because she was lusting after her body.

This innate spirit's power is very pure and is water-attribute, which can greatly enhance Green Ivy's strength.

Unfortunately, Lan Yu is also a True Lord. Although she looks weak, her strength is not insignificant and she cannot be killed at will.

Green Ivy had gone to great lengths and schemed for this opportunity.

She felt no guilt; that's just how cultivation is—it's essentially about plunder and killing.

Opportunities and treasures are something everyone scrambles for.

A naive elf like Lan Yu is already incredibly fortunate to have cultivated into an immortal. Sooner or later, she'll be devoured by someone, so it's better to let her have her.

Despite being a True Lord, Lan Yu was unable to do anything about the injury inflicted by Green Ivy.

If it were True Lord Crimson Cloud or True Lord Orange Light, they could directly use their power to neutralize the power of the Rooting.

But now, Cheng Guang isn't here, and Chi Xia probably won't help her either.

Lan Yu didn't have much hope, but she still told him how to save herself.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi sighed and said, "It's a pity I don't have a divine artifact, so I can't save you."

Blue Rain: "..."

You're toxic!

Even if you can't save him, at least think about it!

Wouldn't this seem too hasty?

Lan Yu silently complained in her heart, but suddenly glanced at Lin Yi and saw the Ruyi Pearl and the Demon-Slaying Sword behind him.

"Isn't that a fire-type immortal sword?"

Lan Yu was speechless.

Tell me, do you not want to save people?

Hearing Lan Yu say this, Lin Yi was very surprised and said, "Didn't you say you wanted a divine artifact? Can a celestial artifact save you?"

According to common sense, a divine artifact must be one level higher than a celestial artifact, right?

Blue Rain: "..."

This person has profound cultivation and can easily defeat a True Lord, so how come he has no common sense at all?

Immortals and gods are on the same level, so immortal artifacts and divine artifacts are naturally on the same level as well!

Luckily, her eyes darted around and landed on the Demon-Slaying Sword; otherwise, given Lin Yi's method of rescue, she would have died sooner or later...

Chapter 482 The Secret of the Demon-Slaying Sword

"Immortals and gods are of the same level, as are immortal artifacts and divine artifacts; they just have different characteristics."

Lan Yu refrained from complaining and began to explain things to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi genuinely didn't know these things. He was always curious about the unknown, so he humbly asked, "What are the characteristics of each?"

Seeing Lin Yi's face full of curiosity, Lan Yu felt a little pleased. Being able to surpass Lin Yi in certain aspects would make one secretly proud.

This is why many people like to be teachers; it satisfies their desire to show off.

Lan Yu decided to start by talking about gods and immortals.

"There is no clear distinction between gods and immortals. God is a title or position, while immortal is a realm. There is no conflict between the two. For example, I became one of the Seven Spirit True Lords after cultivating to become an immortal and passing the selection process."

Therefore, I am both an immortal and a god. Many gods lack the strength commensurate with their divine positions. Even mortals who haven't achieved immortality can possess power surpassing that of ordinary immortals, once recognized by a god.

"Oh, I get it."

Although the gods in the celestial realm are different from the gods in the mortal realm, the principles are similar.

Just like the Zodiac God positions, the standard strength is roughly equivalent to eight to nine thousand years. Bai Lianxian only has more than two thousand years of cultivation, but after obtaining the God position, he can exert the combat power of eight thousand years of cultivation.

A demon with eight thousand years of cultivation who obtains the position of a zodiac deity only acquires the identities of both a zodiac deity and a demon, and does not accumulate a total of sixteen thousand years of cultivation.

Of course, with the blessing of a divine position, one's strength will increase significantly.

Seeing that Lin Yi already understood, Lan Yu didn't elaborate, such as how the title of god was obtained, because she was really worried that Lin Yi would ask.

“Divine artifacts and immortal artifacts are different; the distinction between the two is clear.”

Immortal artifacts possess inherent power and spirituality. They are typically forged from the finest materials and can be used once they are recognized by the artifact spirit.

Divine artifacts, on the other hand, are manifestations of the authority wielded by gods. They do not require rare materials; as long as they are infused with corresponding rules, only those who hold divine positions can possess divine artifacts, and only gods who wield the corresponding authority can use them.

"Like the long roots of a pothos plant, if I were to use it, it would just be an ordinary wooden knife."

"I see, Teacher Lan explained it very well."

Lin Yi acknowledged Lan Yu's teaching level, noting that the theory was clear, and that he provided comparative analysis and examples.

Lin Yi naturally wanted to give her some recognition.

Lan Yu blushed a little at his earnest praise and could only smile shyly.

Lin Yi then asked, "Now that we have the immortal artifact, how can we save you?"

"It's very simple. Just stick it into the wound on the root and you'll destroy its power."

"That's easy, okay then."

With a wave of his hand, the Demon-Slaying Sword flew into Lin Yi's hand in a flash, just like a long-unfavored concubine who had finally received the emperor's favor, and she was overjoyed.

Lan Yu spoke lightly just now, but now she realizes that the Demon-Slaying Sword is quite large.

Can she handle this sudden intrusion?

She was a little afraid of pain, so she turned her head to the side, closed her eyes, and lay flat on the ground.

"bring it on!"

A short, sharp pain is worse than a long, drawn-out one; being alive is certainly better than being dead.

At worst, she'll just get stabbed; she's a goddess, she wouldn't be unable to withstand that.

Lin Yi was initially somewhat reluctant, but seeing how openly Lan Yu had faced the situation, he decided to take action.

"Bear with it, I'm coming."

Blue Rain: "..."

If you're going to poke me, then tell me why!

Out of fear, she still opened one eye and peeked out.

In that one glance, she suddenly felt that the Demon-Slaying Sword was somewhat familiar.

The sword's blade was stained with blood, and mysterious golden runes were faintly visible...

Hiss, this is...

"Wait a moment!"

A thunderclap seemed to explode in Lan Yu's mind, and she quickly tried to stop him, but it was too late.

Lin Yi thought that it was better to end it quickly than to suffer for a long time, so he decided to be decisive and make Lan Yu less nervous.

When Lan Yu called for a stop, Lin Yi's sword had already pierced through completely, the tip reaching her heart. The depth was the same as the wound caused by Chang Gen, but the Demon-Slaying Sword was wider, so Lan Yu's injury was more severe this time.

But the good news is that the curse of growing roots has been broken.

Lin Yi could clearly see that the power of his best friend, which had been lodged in Lan Yu's chest, vanished instantly like smoke when the Demon-Slaying Sword pierced through.

As expected, the Demon-Slaying Sword was still useful.

However, Blue Rain's current situation doesn't seem too good.

She groaned in pain when the demon-slaying sword pierced her skin, and now her face had turned deathly pale.

It was at this moment that a dense, malevolent aura emanated from the Demon-Slaying Sword. This malevolent aura caused Jiang Linglong's eyes to turn slightly red, and Lan Yu even rolled her eyes and fainted.

A terrifying aura swept in all directions, even startling Huanghun, who had been beaten unconscious. But when he sensed that terrifying and malevolent aura, he fainted again.

Lin Yi sensed something was wrong. He was naturally not afraid of this fierce aura, but the Demon-Slaying Sword suddenly became extremely hot, and it was also sucking blood!

Lin Yi quickly drew his sword; any slower and Lan Yu would be drained dry.

Poor Blue Rain, it had just been sucked by Long Root, and after Long Root finished sucking it, the Demon-Slaying Sword sucked it up again.

Moreover, the Demon-Slaying Sword absorbed even more fiercely, almost taking Lan Yu away in one go.

Fortunately, Lin Yi acted quickly, and Lan Yu was still alive, but she was definitely severely injured.

The demon-slaying sword in his hand underwent a dramatic change; it glowed with a deep red light, conveying a message to Lin Yi.

"Delicious! I want more!"

What she wanted to drink was the blood of an immortal.

Lin Yi forcibly interrupted her blood-drinking. Now, the sword became somewhat agitated, trembling constantly, as if trying to break free from Lin Yi's control.

"Let me go, I want it!"
