I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

He quickly prepared for battle, but Lin Yi froze the moment Venerable Lingxi spoke.

“This humble monk is enlightened, fellow Daoist Miaofa, there is no need to be nervous.”

Lin Yi: "..."

Did he take me for a magic trick?

Wow, you can do that?

Wouldn't that allow me to successfully infiltrate the enemy's ranks?

At that moment, Lin Yi quickly came up with a safe way to gain cultivation.

Although we don't know why he killed the Immortal Realm of Wonderful Laws, since that's the case, we should follow the changes and make better plans.

"Are you Venerable Lingxi?"

Lin Yi remained wary. The best way to prevent others from suspecting him was for the thief to cry "stop thief!" first.

But there's a little trick to it.

He addressed her as Venerable Lingxi, but Lingxi never introduced herself that way.

Through these subtle details, Lin Yi subconsciously made Lingxi feel that he was from the Immortal Realm.

"It is indeed this humble monk."

Venerable Lingxi clasped his hands together, appearing very humble and polite.

However, his face looked rather rugged, with well-defined facial muscles, making it seem like he was about to shout "Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon" at any moment.

He appears rugged and bold, but he harbors many schemes in his heart. He deliberately acts humble and polite, which seems rather strange.

Lin Yi didn't delve into the question, but simply asked, "Why has Fellow Daoist Lingxi also come to the lower realm?"

Lin Yi was very careful with his choice of words. The Immortal Realm refers to the world outside the Immortal Realm as the Lower Realm, which is an arrogance ingrained in the bones of the immortals.

Even if a person from the lower realm ascends to become an immortal, they will still be looked down upon by the immortals in the immortal realm.

This kind of discrimination is ingrained in the very bones of every immortal.

Lin Yi had inquired about the Immortal Realm from several immortals, none of whom had directly mentioned this point. However, Lin Yi discovered this while creating psychological profiles of several True Lords and Venerable Miaofa.

Whether it's accurate or not, let's try using this method first.

Lingxi Venerable had no idea that the Wonderful Dharma Venerable in front of him could be an imposter, since he knew the identity of the Wonderful Dharma Venerable—that he was an avatar of that being.

Before descending to the mortal realm, Venerable Lingxi was also entrusted by Venerable Miaofa to come to the human world to make contact with him.

At that time, Venerable Lingxi realized that Venerable Miaofa, as an avatar, had actually become independent.

However, Venerable Lingxi dared not neglect her. The reason was simple: if the clone escaped out of control, that person would not allow him to merely take care of her.

Since he is needed to take care of her, there must be another reason for her to act independently.

The secrets behind this are too complex to fathom, but it's always best to show respect.

Little did he know that the true Venerable Master Miaofa had already passed away, and the one who was now alive was the human protector recognized by the Venerable Master Miaofa.

What a coincidence! In order to sever ties with Venerable Miaofa and avoid being implicated, the one in the upper realm made Venerable Miaofa an independent person. As a result, he was unaware of what happened to Venerable Miaofa afterward.

All that is known is that the mortal realm has encountered a powerful enemy, and the True Lords who descended to the mortal realm have almost all been wiped out. The celestial realm is now in the mortal realm and has fallen into a situation where there is no one left to use.

That's why they used connections to select people to descend to the mortal realm. The Buddhist sect took this opportunity to intervene, since the loss of their power in the human world wasn't too great.

As long as a powerful Arhat is sent down to the mortal realm and his reincarnated form is activated, one can quickly acquire the combat power of immortals and gods.

This is just a preliminary step, a realization that something may have gone wrong in the human world again, possibly the last counterattack by humanity, and this time it will be exceptionally dangerous.

With the six great gods of wind, thunder, water, fire, mountain, and martial arts unanimously agreeing to send more manpower, the celestial realm has also shown sufficient importance to this conquest of the mortal world.

The reason for sending Lingxi down to the mortal realm first was to prepare for the descent of more immortals and gods.

Under the guidance of the six great gods, the celestial realm decided to reopen the Heavenly Gate.

Since the severing of the connection between heaven and earth, the Heavenly Gate has been tightly sealed, and the Immortal Realm would have to pay a huge price to open it.

When Qin Shi Huang attacked the heavens last time, the celestial realm did not do so, because while opening the gates of heaven would allow celestial beings and gods to travel to the mortal realm on a larger scale, it would also consume a great deal of resources.

Given the current state of human fortune, it's not worth them paying such a high price.

However, the immortals had no objection to this decision.

How much they can gain is not important; what matters is maintaining the dignity of the immortal realm. Otherwise, these mortals will truly rebel against heaven.

In addition to opening the Heavenly Gate, gods symbolizing disasters, such as the Four Seasons Gods and the Plague Gods, began to take action against the human world.

Where the earth needs water, it doesn't rain; where it needs sunshine, it rains continuously; when it should be cold, it's hot; when it should be hot, it's cold.

Dealing with mortals is that simple with divine methods.

Human beings are so fragile; under natural disasters, countless people will be displaced.

However, the influence of the celestial realm on the human world does not take effect immediately; it often takes some time before the effects can be seen.

For humanity, a storm that will sweep across the world is truly about to arrive.

Lingxi Venerable explained the entire plan to Lin Yi as soon as they met.

Lin Yi was furious.

He hadn't thought of it that way at first. He imagined the war between heaven and man to be a chaotic battle where both sides would deploy their forces and the victor would be king.

Little did they know that the Immortal Realm had so many unethical practices, not only targeting the frontal battlefield but also harming ordinary people.

It was clearly Lao Liu's actions, but it could be said that someone had offended Heaven and was therefore suffering divine retribution. In the end, there will definitely be many people who blame the protectors for the disaster.

The celestial realm uses this method to divide the mortal world; the method is simple, but absolutely effective.

This move killed multiple birds with one stone, and the Immortal Realm has won big.

On the one hand, attacking mortals weakens the power of the protectors; if the human world weakens, the protectors will not be much stronger either.

On the other hand, if the movement is divided, the protectors will not receive more support and will instead have to fight against many opponents.

Third, when disaster strikes, ordinary people have no choice but to pray to gods and Buddhas. In this way, the gods and Buddhas can receive a massive amount of incense offerings.

This is the usual tactic of gods and immortals; they will do everything they can to make humans believe in them and be at their beck and call.

Now that Lin Yi knows, he naturally won't let that happen.

Thank you, Venerable Lingxi, for providing this important information!

Lin Yi originally wanted to kill him directly, but then he thought that with the Lingxi Venerable's certification of his identity, he could infiltrate the ranks of immortals and gods and secretly kill a couple of immortals whenever he had free time. Wouldn't that be better than him going through all the trouble of finding the judge of the underworld?

Those judges of the underworld were all cowardly scoundrels, extremely arrogant in front of the weak, loved to show off, and talked a lot.

But ever since they learned that a ferocious killing god had appeared in the human world, the judges of the underworld have dared not descend.

Even with the spells of the Underworld Kings from the Pure Heaven Cult almost turning into rap, they still couldn't summon them.

This disappointed Lin Yi.

Now that Lingxi has appeared, it's truly like someone offering a pillow when you're sleepy.

Lin Yi then asked eagerly, "How many more days will it take for the Heavenly Gate to open?"

"It will take at least three months, or at most half a year. Before that, we don't need to fight against the protectors of the mortal realm. After all, this is the mortal realm, and those protectors are protected by heaven and earth. Fellow Daoist's defeat this time is not due to a lack of skill, so you don't need to take it to heart."

So it turns out I wasn't fighting alone; I had divine protection.

Lin Yi muttered to himself for a moment, and upon reflection, it was indeed true.

From the moment he came into this world, he had a smooth life, and although he had experienced many frights, he had always escaped unharmed.

Every time he was out of practice, someone would rush to offer themselves up as a sacrifice.

Sure enough, he had already accumulated a million years' worth of cultivation in just one year since he transmigrated. If you said that it wasn't God helping him, Lin Yi would hardly believe it.

Thank you so much.

Lin Yi's inner monologues are quite dramatic, but they don't affect his communication with Lingxi.

"How large is the scale of this opening of the Heavenly Gate?"

Lin Yi subtly probed for information, and Venerable Lingxi made no attempt to conceal anything, saying earnestly, "This time, the ascension is for real. I've heard that there are no fewer than a thousand Venerables and tens of thousands of True Monarchs."

Lin Yi was immediately shocked.

Good grief, you're fine when you don't move, but when you do, you launch a full-scale attack?

Assuming each Venerable One has at least 200,000 years of cultivation, could he possibly win against an attack by thousands of Venerable Ones?

Why the sudden mobilization of such a large force?

It's not surprising that this question was asked, since there was only one Venerable One and seven True Lords who had previously descended to the lower realm.

The sudden increase in troop strength sounds outrageous.

Lingxi said mysteriously, "Actually, what I just said is nothing. Do you know who commands so many Venerables?"

Lin Yi shook his head in agreement.

Nonsense, even if he really is the Venerable Master of Wonderful Laws, he couldn't possibly know what just happened in the Immortal Realm.

Lingxi deliberately kept everyone in suspense, then lowered her voice and said, "It's the God of War!"

Lin Yi was stunned. Wasn't this the person he had killed?

Lin Yi also took a lot of advantage of him, such as some martial arts secrets. After all, Lin Yi had only been in this world for a short time, so even though he could access many people's memories and improve his own experience.

But those are not your own experiences, and absorbing the memories of a martial arts master does not mean you can become a master yourself.

Thanks to the descent of the God of War, who bestowed upon him a wave of immortal spiritual energy, Lin Yi's martial arts skills made great progress.

Upon first hearing the name "God of War," Lin Yi was somewhat taken aback.

That's it?

But he quickly gasped and exclaimed, "It was him!"

He didn't know who the God of War was, or how powerful he was, but judging from the atmosphere, he should be powerful.

Lin Yi was shocked, but he was thinking to himself.

This fellow Daoist Lingxi might be an undercover agent I sent in. Why does he tell me everything?

Do you really like gossip that much?
