I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Perhaps, these naturally formed paradises in the human world were created so that the most outstanding talents of humankind could have a place to ascend to immortality and cultivate.

Unfortunately, these places were eventually occupied by treacherous people loyal to the immortal realm, and the real mortals lost the opportunity to advance.

Now that Lin Yi has arrived, it's the perfect time to put this place to good use.

It's not just for wives; if any ordinary people with good character and potential come here in the future, they can cultivate here and leave some seeds for humanity.

After bringing everyone to Mount Tianmu, Lin Yi also settled down on the fairy island.

He spends his days practicing and refining weapons, and in his spare time he cooks some delicious food to enjoy with his wife and apprentices.

There were also moments of tender intimacy with a beautiful woman at night, but these can only be left unmentioned.

If one doesn't think about the impending war, such days are actually quite carefree and happy, which is exactly the life Lin Yi wants.

Unfortunately, such time is destined to be limited.

Lin Yi stayed on the island to give A Qi some time.

Infiltrating the Pure Heaven Sect and setting its pace is no easy task.

Taking advantage of this time, Lin Yi slowly absorbed the cultivation he had accumulated, and more clearly felt the changes in his body, so as to avoid being unable to unleash his full strength in the future.

In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed...

All of his cultivation had been absorbed, thanks to the immortals of Penglai who helped Lin Yi break through the threshold of 900,000 years of cultivation.

Just then, Ah Qi sent word that he had successfully incited the Jingtian Sect to hate him and had even helped the Jingtian Sect recruit many new believers.

For example, many members of the former Ten Thousand Demon Alliance switched their allegiance to the Pure Heaven Sect after the nine demon kings were almost wiped out.

The Pure Heaven Sect, on the contrary, grew stronger than ever before.

Lin Yi was very satisfied with this; if there were monsters, he would kill them.

If there are no monsters, then create monsters and kill them.

This trip might just help me achieve my small goal of a million years.

He had a vague premonition that after breaking through to a million years, he might undergo new changes.

He may need to spend even more time adjusting himself.

This time, he absorbed over 600,000 years of cultivation, and although he diligently observed his own changes every day, he still felt it wasn't enough.

Even after a million years, he will still need to calm down and hone his skills.

Otherwise, having great skills but being unable to unleash the corresponding strength would be a waste of such a powerful cheat.

"I'm only taking Xian'er with me this time. You all stay on the island and focus on your cultivation. Don't worry about me."

The replica of the Kunlun Mirror can observe the heavens and earth for half an hour every day. If you miss me, you can see me in the mirror.

I will return once a month at most to reunite with you.

The real Kunlun Mirror is said to be able to monitor the heavens and earth at any time and place, and its most powerful feature is that it can travel through time and space.

However, this legendary artifact has disappeared without a trace, and Kunlun only has a replica.

Although it is a replica, it is still a magical artifact. It does not have the ability to travel through time, but it can temporarily freeze time and space within a certain range.

This thing is quite a powerful artifact; just the ability to stop time and space allows it to do a lot of things.

By leaving this replica, Lin Yi also wanted to leave them something to protect themselves.

Just before parting, Lin Yi told everyone about his decision.

Su Xian'er looked arrogant and very pleased with herself.

See? Lin Yi really does only dote on me!

The others were indeed envious, but they didn't make a fuss with Lin Yi.

They all knew how heavy a burden Lin Yi was carrying, so they readily complied with any requests he made.

However, with Lin Yi gone, only six people remained on the island.

The three were his wives, whom he had not formally married but were already his de facto wives: one was his apprentice, one was his maid Yu Xue, and the other was Qian Huan Gui Ji.

The relationship between Qianhuan Guiji and Lin Yi is undefined. She did not seek Lin Yi's confirmation of their relationship. They are not like friends, lovers, or enemies, yet she insists on following Lin Yi.

However, Lin Yi also left her at Tianmu Mountain, which can be considered a form of trust.

Lin Yi had no intention of letting Lan Yu and Jueying stay on the island. If they wanted to do something bad, no one could stop them.

So Lin Yi simply didn't let them go to the island and made up an excuse to send them off to do something else.

Unfortunately, the Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess is now under Zero One's control. This clueless Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess obviously doesn't understand what it means for Lin Yi to leave her on the island. She protested, "I don't want to listen to you. I want to go with you."

Lin Yi: "..."

It seems that all she's done all these years is fight, and she hasn't developed any brains at all.

"If you don't want to listen to me, you can leave, but I won't take you with me. Go wherever you want!"

"I won't!"

Lingyi probably just likes to argue with Lin Yi, and she insists on doing the things that Lin Yi forbids her from doing.

"Go ahead and kill me if you dare. I can always come back to life. Humph, I'm not afraid of you!"

Lin Yi: "..."

We really don't need to be so ruthless, do we?

Lin Yi was helpless against this persistent pest, so he had no choice but to take her off the island.

As Lin Yi left Tianmu Mountain, he activated the mountain's formation.

This formation allows neither entry nor exit, and can be combined with the mists of Mount Tianmu to conceal all traces of Mount Tianmu from the sea.

Lin Yi studied this formation for almost half a month, putting in a lot of effort.

To attack from the outside in, one needs to be stronger than Lin Yi; attacking from the inside out is easier, requiring only half the strength.

Neither the people inside nor outside the formation noticed anything amiss; at this moment, safety comes first!

They didn't consider that if Lin Yi didn't return one day, this formation would become a prison for them, until their strength broke through a certain limit and they broke the formation themselves.

Lin Yi was already preparing for that day to come.

Everyone thought that they had found this fairy island in order to cultivate themselves and then fight against the immortal realm.

Lin Yi's idea, however, was to find a fairy island where everyone could cultivate and leave behind a spark of hope.

If he wins, everyone will be happy.

If he loses, his whole family won't be buried with him.

Suppressing his emotions, Lin Yi turned to look at the distant coastline.

That will be his battlefield.

Let's go!

Chapter 515 The Three Families' Campaign Against Wei

Chang'an City, the City Lord's Mansion.

Despite her exhaustion, Hua Nianrou was still working at her desk. Since the war escalated, she had been handling far more intelligence every day.

The study was no longer sufficient for her work, so she moved to the city lord's mansion to help Lu Yuanhua handle some confidential matters.

Working like this every day, Hua Nianrou looked much more haggard.

But she was so excited that she was full of passion even when she was busy.

Not long ago, Helan Zhangyue, a famous general of the Northern Wei Dynasty, launched an attack on Tongguan. Xiao Yue defended the city and was locked in a stalemate with them, but the situation was very unfavorable.

Although Xiao Yue's forces have gained two more strongholds in Qinzhou and Jingzhou, these are merely a retreat route and cannot provide Xiao Yue with any support.

With only Xiao Yue's army fighting against the Northern Wei, unless Xiao Yue creates another miracle, the fall of Tongguan is only a matter of time.

At that time, Lu Yuanhua had already begun preparing to implement the second plan, namely, to abandon Tongguan and head west.

Both westward and eastward advances employed the same strategy: to wear down the Northern Wei through spatial tactics.

The core of this strategy was that the emperors of the Northern Wei were rather muddleheaded and incompetent, unable to control their subordinates. Therefore, they only needed to preserve their fighting force, and they would not lose out whether they won or lost.

Lu Yuanhua has already mobilized the people, and the people of Chang'an can follow the army to evacuate westward at any time. Xiao Yue is also fully capable of buying enough time to protect these civilians.

However, at this very moment, a bombshell announcement came.

Before the emperor of Southern Liang had even secured his throne, he defied public opinion and dispatched 50,000 elite troops to launch a northern expedition.

Okay, that's kind of a joke.

The Southern Liang army that could be mobilized in the northern border region numbered around 500,000, including some logistics and support personnel. The actual combatants numbered around 300,000.

This force is not weak; in fact, it could be said to be stronger than before.

Xiao Zhao invested heavily in the military, which is the most valuable legacy he left to Xiao Se.

Of course, he didn't want to stay.

Battles between nations rarely begin easily, but once they do, they inevitably involve a massive, all-out attack.

Reinforcing troops in stages is a major taboo in military strategy.

Lu Yuanhua initially thought the Southern Liang emperor was joking with him, launching a war with 50,000 troops.

Are you kidding me?

However, these 50,000 troops, led by an unknown masked general, marched from Dongyuzhou into Northern Wei, advancing with unstoppable momentum, capturing cities and fortresses. In just half a month, they reached Sizhou and threatened Luoyang.

It should be noted that Dongyuzhou was an important border between the north and south, and the Northern Wei had 200,000 troops stationed there. The general in charge, Tuoba Shou, was also a relatively capable royal general.

He couldn't possibly be a mole, and he was very capable; his 200,000 troops were all skilled warriors.

However, in that battle, the Ghost-Faced General won with only a quarter of his troops and even killed the great general Tuoba Shou.

In short, it's outrageous!

This battle terrified the Northern Wei emperor so much that he issued several military orders to dispatch Helan Zhangyue. Helan Zhangyue had no choice but to recall his troops to defend Tongguan. The siege of Tongguan had barely begun when it was already over.

Xiao Yue did not disappoint. After noticing Helan Zhang Yue's movements, she boldly took the initiative to attack, following Helan Zhang Yue's army all the way, constantly harassing them, intercepting a lot of supplies, and killing countless enemies.
