I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

"When one's cultivation level reaches a certain point, power is no longer the most important thing; authority is."

For example, if I were to move the Gates of Hell, even someone with a hundred or a thousand times my power couldn't do it. They could destroy the gate, but they couldn't move it. That's authority.

Lin Yi felt that Zhang Jiao was hinting at something to him, but he couldn't quite understand it yet.

I know I have authority, so what?

"Power is merely a facade; its essence is the control of the Great Dao. There are countless Great Daos in the world; to control the Great Dao is to control power."

But now these great paths have already been divided up; if you want to master them, you can only seize them from others.

Alright, Lin Yi understands now. Zhang Jiao is hinting that he should rob the main road.

But Lin Yi wasn't the naive young man he once was; he had some basic knowledge of the Immortal Realm.

Those who control a Great Dao are called True Immortals who have attained the Dao. Such beings are at least titled immortals, but not every titled immortal can control a Great Dao.

In other words, those who attain true immortality are among the best of all the immortals and gods with titles.

This……

I'd love to snatch it, but I'm afraid I don't have the skill!

Despite inwardly complaining, Lin Yi still smiled and said, "Thank you for the pointers."

Zhang Jiao seemed to see right through Lin Yi's thoughts; her eyes were filled with wisdom, as if nothing could escape her notice.

Clearly, over this period of time, not only has Lin Yi become stronger, but she has also become stronger.

Lin Yi's rise to power was at least due to his own efforts, but his wife's rise to power was completely beyond his comprehension.

Is it possible that this person was originally under heavy constraints, but after destroying the Pure Heaven Sect, he helped her break free of the seal?

Lin Yi kept pondering, but Zhang Jiao just smiled and suddenly stretched out a finger, touching his forehead before Lin Yi could react.

"I'll give you a power first, and then you'll know what to do."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Yi felt a sharp pain between his eyebrows, as if a bunch of indescribable things had entered his mind.

These things were incredibly chaotic and baffling, but after the transmission was complete, the chaotic information spontaneously rearranged and combined into a form that Lin Yi could understand.

This is the power to control the gates of hell!

The Gates of Hell is essentially a manifestation of the Great Dao, and Lin Yi even vaguely felt that this Great Dao is a component of another Great Dao.

He closed his eyes and pondered deeply, gaining even more insights from this great path.

Even though they are all great paths, there must be different levels.

The Gates of Hell are part of the cycle of reincarnation. Perhaps this great road is also part of the Great Road of Reincarnation, only it has been divided into its current form.

The Gate of Hell is a passage between the living and the dead; both the living and the souls can pass through it.

The gates of hell were originally located in a fixed place and would not open except at a specific time.

When the gates of hell close, ghosts in the human world can enter the underworld as usual, but ghosts in the underworld cannot return to the human world.

This is a one-way closed channel.

With this power in his hands, Lin Yi could open and close the gates of hell at any time, and even control the gates of hell to open right in front of him.

Isn't this like someone bringing you a pillow when you're sleepy?

Lin Yi had previously thought that going to the underworld would be too risky. First, it would be inconvenient to sneak in discreetly, and second, once inside, it would be difficult to escape.

Now, he doesn't have to worry about any of that anymore.

He could even go to work during the day, clock in, and go home at night, just like he was going to a job.

What an incredibly useful ability!

However, this came at just the right time, and Lin Yi couldn't help but wonder if Zhang Jiao had read the script.

Whenever he needed something, Zhang Jiao would send it to him.

She was not quite lucid before, when the Nine Scriptures True Explanation was sent to her.

Now that he has regained much of his strength, the treasures he gave her are even more powerful.

This is a main road!

It's not like you can keep something after giving it away; there can only be one Lord of the Great Dao.

She gave it to Lin Yi, and then she had nothing left for herself.

"you……"

Lin Yi really wanted to ask Zhang Jiao why she gave him this, what she was planning. If Lin Yi knew, he would feel more at ease.

"No need to ask any more questions. When the time comes, you will naturally understand."

One sentence silenced Lin Yi instantly.

Okay, it's another secret that can't be told.

He didn't press further; since he couldn't say, he'd just let things take their course.

After all, he did need Zhang Jiao's gift right now, and no matter what her purpose was, Lin Yi had no choice but to accept it for the time being.

Be wary, but the sugar coating is still edible.

"In that case, thank you very much, fellow Daoist."

Lin Yi thanked Zhang Jiao very sincerely, and Zhang Jiao smiled and said, "Shouldn't you go home and visit your family now?"

Lin Yi nodded. He had originally planned to take care of some things and then go back.

Now that Zhang Jiao has helped arrange things, Lin Yi also realized that Zhang Jiao didn't want him to stay here.

He was sensible enough to say goodbye to Zhang Jiao and then flew away on a cloud.

Not long after Lin Yi left, a large snake slowly emerged from the Yellow River. Its large, vertical pupils stared in the direction Lin Yi had left, filled with surprise and uncertainty.

"How could he still be alive?"

"Turning the impossible into the possible—that's a miracle."

Zhang Jiao's tone was inscrutable, and the giant snake looked at her with increased wariness.

"You want to use him to help you regain power?"

"It's not about exploitation, but about mutual benefit, just like between you and me."

The giant snake remained silent, but it showed even more apprehension towards Zhang Jiao.

It must be admitted that it owes a favor today.

"I'll be there for you whenever you need me in the future."

After saying that, the giant snake didn't want to say anything more and dived into the water, disappearing without a trace.

But the giant snake didn't go far; it kept thinking about it and still felt uneasy.

To cooperate with Zhang Jiao is tantamount to asking a tiger for its skin.

They are all predators, while humans are the prey.

It seems that relying on just one blade of grass isn't enough to guarantee success.

The giant serpent looked towards the battlefield, where a powerful aura was rising like the sun at its zenith. Unfortunately, that person was chosen by the Star Lord of Greed, destined not to become a protector of the mortal realm.

But there was a noble purple aura in that direction, the aura of an emperor.

Perhaps the star of greed and greed cannot become an emperor, but earthly emperors are born from the ranks of the star of greed and greed.

The giant snake felt it should go and take a look.

It came to the waters near Xiao Yue's military camp and began to lie in wait.

It lost something so much that it could not transform into a human.

If it were to appear in the form of a giant snake, it would probably frighten many mortals, leaving them with no choice but to wait here for its prey to come to them.

However, it has its own magical methods to prevent itself from waiting too long.

The giant snake lay in wait and began to use its mind to manipulate and interfere with Xiao Yue.

Xiao Yue cannot become a guardian of humanity, but as the Star of Greed, she can still make some contributions to the world.

If one were to unify the world and uphold justice for Ziwei, the assistance of the Greedy Wolf Star would be indispensable.

It would be good to have a conversation with her and make a good connection.

At this moment, Xiao Yue was deploying troops and preparing for the final battle.

The sooner we eliminate the Northern Wei, the sooner we can unify the world.

Once the world is unified, if she becomes emperor, she will definitely bestow upon Lin Yi the title of the one and only emperor.

With this thought in mind, Xiao Yue was naturally full of energy.

But suddenly, she seemed to smell an unusual odor on herself.

Perhaps it was from days of fighting, with blood staining his battle robes, that he smelled bad.

Xiao Yue was a girl after all, and once she knew she smelled bad, she couldn't stay still.

I need to take a bath.

Just as Xiao Yue was about to instruct her maid to prepare something for her, another thought suddenly flashed through her mind.

After days of fighting, her female soldiers were also exhausted.

Since it's dark now, why not go to the river to wash up? We can set up a formation then, and no one will see us.

With a strong psychological pull, Xiao Yue walked directly to the riverbank alone.

The giant snake was secretly surprised; it had taken it quite a bit of effort just to lure it in.

Xiao Yue was very resistant to this decision, so the mental energy she was induced to consume was naturally greater.

Little did the giant snake know that Xiao Yue, having experienced so much danger, was inherently a very insecure person.

She rarely takes off her armor, let alone bathes in the wild.

But mind-control is so irrational; one's thoughts will naturally veer in that direction without the person even realizing it.

Yes, you might not be able to discover it yourself, but others can.
