I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Who would dare to steal from the palace of the Goddess of Mount Tai?

It's not this early to be courting death.

This has been the case for thousands of years; no one has ever dared to do it.

So the guards had long been used to this boredom, and naturally, they were relaxed and careless every day, with no intention of being on high alert.

What is the need to guard this place?

Upon seeing this, Wuyun was overjoyed. The guards here were far too lax. She quickly transformed into her cat form and silently infiltrated the Imperial Guard Pavilion.

Cats are naturally good at hiding, and these guards were not careful enough, so a cat managed to sneak into the Imperial Guard Pavilion.

The Imperial Guard Pavilion doesn't contain many treasures; they're all related to the Imperial Guard. The most precious items are naturally the twelve special magical artifacts that control the commanders of the Imperial Guard.

Without needing to search carefully through the dark clouds, the twelve magical artifacts were hung up in their respective orders.

Mouse traps and cow nose rings—these ritual implements are so targeted.

The one belonging to Zidian was a lasso.

With this lasso, she will be able to control Zidian.

Thinking of this, Wuyun excitedly rubbed his hands together, then snatched the lasso.

At that very moment, a bolt of purple lightning descended from the sky within the Imperial Guard Pavilion, striking Wu Yun precisely.

The dark cloud was instantly stunned by the electric shock, and the temple guards finally reacted, shouting loudly, "Thief!"

dark clouds:"……"

Oh no, something bad is going to happen...

Ignoring the pain, Wuyun dashed away in a flash.

"You thieving cat, don't run away!"

A dense swarm of imperial guards surged in from all directions, and Wu Yun knew that with his meager skills, he certainly couldn't escape.

At this point, all they could do was rely on the lasso in their hands.

"Purple Lightning!"

At Wuyun's command, Zidian appeared before her.

When Wuyun obtained the lasso, Zidian had already sensed it. Seeing the thief in front of him, Zidian shouted angrily, "Thief, put this down at once!"

"Enough talk, turn into a horse and take me away!"

Zidian was reluctant, but when Wuyun gave the order, she couldn't control her thoughts at all and quickly transformed into her original form, which was a very handsome white horse with wings on its back.

Wuyun dared not delay any longer, so he quickly jumped onto Zidian, swung his whip, and Zidian shot off in a flash.

This is a celestial horse, so naturally it can walk on air.

Other Imperial Guard commanders rushed to their aid, but without Zidian, they were unable to form the Twelve Zodiac Formation, and in terms of speed, they were no match for Zidian.

"Run! Go to the human world!"

Dark Cloud continued to whip Purple Lightning's rump with the tripwire. Purple Lightning was anxious, but it could not disobey its master's command and ran wildly.

When the speed reaches its limit, the barrier between the two worlds seems to become nothing.

Then, Zidian crashed into the illusory barrier and actually pierced through it.

The Pegasus race is born with the ability to move at incredible speeds. When their speed reaches a certain level, they can cross the barriers of the world.

Chaos erupted once again at the Temple of Mount Tai, while the Goddess of Mount Tai was still asleep.

Even Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, upon hearing this news, couldn't help but want to cover his face.

For a moment, he couldn't understand whether the Goddess of Mount Tai was really too careless, or whether she was truly fearless.

Isn't this blatant acting?

Although her father was one of the Five Heavenly Emperors, if she really angered the Great Heavenly Venerable, she wouldn't get away with it either.

Perhaps this really was an accident?

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva pondered that this was probably the case; the Goddess of Mount Tai should be held responsible for the great turmoil that had occurred in the underworld.

It's like she's letting the water flow too much.

But if she was going easy on him, then why did she have to give up even her own Ghost Emperor?

The Eastern Ghost Emperor was her most important subordinate.

But if you say she didn't hold back, is she really that bad?

It seems that even the Great Celestial Venerable couldn't be sure what was really going on with the Goddess of Mount Tai.

However, the bestowal of the imperial insignia was his final warning.

The Goddess of Mount Tai made a mistake before, and she has made it again this time, but the Great Celestial Venerable can still let it go.

The bestowal of the imperial ceremonial axe was intended to balance the underworld.

If this is not done, the Goddess of Mount Tai has already lost a great general. If she is punished further by her superiors, she will be completely unable to fight against Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

From then on, the underworld will be the only one that reigns supreme.

The Heavenly Realm did not want to see such a scene, so it gave the Goddess of Mount Tai some comfort and rewards.

But the meaning behind those words was also to let the Goddess of Mount Tai know that if there was a next time, whether the food was genuinely cooked or water was being added, she would be severely punished.

Logically speaking, the Goddess of Mount Tai should have been more cautious at this time, but unexpectedly, she ran into trouble again in the blink of an eye.

This……

Maybe she's just unlucky?

Amitabha Buddha, this humble monk truly cannot see through it.

Lin Yi was naturally unaware of what had happened in the underworld after he left. At this moment, he had returned to Mount Tianmu and begun the fusion process.

Zhang Jiao said that a person's power is limited, and Lin Yi believed her warning, but integration was still necessary.

He first fused with the authority of the Wheel King, and by combining it with the authority of the two Yama Kings, Lin Yi was able to synthesize the authority of the Central Ghost Emperor.

However, to merge with the authority of the Central Ghost Emperor, his cultivation level needs to reach ten million years.

What Zhang Jiao said is true. The amount of power a person can bear is limited, and this limit depends on the strength of their cultivation.

Five million years of cultivation is enough to bear the authority of Yama, while ten million years is needed to bear the authority of a Ghost Emperor.

Lin Yi then realized that his cultivation and his power complemented each other.

Only when he possesses the authority of a certain rank can he refine his physical body, and only with a strong physical body can he bear the authority of the corresponding rank.

It must be like this.

Fortunately, Lin Yi had just come out of the underworld with nearly 100 million in cultivation points, which he could now use to refine his cultivation.

He focused his mind and began the fusion process.

A mysterious aura emanated from the Demon-Slaying Manual. He seemed to see the Great Dao controlled by Yama and King Yama, colliding and releasing mysterious ripples.

Under the wash of these ripples, his body seemed to break through some kind of blockage.

At that very moment, streams of heat surged from his heart, circulating throughout his body in a continuous cycle, and with each circulation, his physical body was slightly strengthened.

Under his focused introspection, he saw his golden bones begin to change color, turning red, yellow, green, and multicolored.

After the light flashed, it returned to white.

His bones were like white jade, very beautiful.

When the transformation was complete and the authority was fully integrated, he had become half of the Central Ghost Emperor.

However, upon looking at the Demon-Slaying Manual, he was immediately shocked.

His cultivation reserves, which were originally over 100 million, have dwindled to only 70 million.

Improving one's cultivation by five million years actually consumed more than thirty million?

As his cultivation level increased, even the cultivation he gained from the God of Slaughter seemed unable to keep up with his consumption.

But this is still considered normal.

The higher one's cultivation level, the greater the losses.

He still had authority to merge with, so he decided to go all the way and merged with the authority of the Eastern Ghost Emperor as well.

But this time, he needs 20 million years of cultivation.

Because the Central Ghost Emperor is only half a Ghost Emperor, while the Eastern Ghost Emperor is a complete Ghost Emperor.

The underworld no longer holds the authority left by the Eastern Ghost Emperor, because Lin Yi actually killed both Yama Kings and the Eastern Ghost Emperor himself.

This placed even higher demands on Lin Yi, but having already experienced a breakthrough through the use of authority, he immediately began the process of integration.

In the same way, the powers of the two Yama Kings and a Ghost Emperor were merged together, causing blood to seep from Lin Yi's eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.

Clearly, having already seized control of the Central Ghost Emperor's authority, and now absorbing all of the Eastern Ghost Emperors at once, his body was beginning to give out.

However, the cultivation accumulated in the Demon-Slaying Manual was unleashed, and boundless power surged from Lin Yi's entire body.

Those clusters of pure Daoist energy began to converge in various acupoints of his body, resembling small, blood-red dots of light, which faintly echoed the stars in the sky.

Lin Yi didn't know what was going on with this strange phenomenon. Perhaps his physical body had reached a new level, but he couldn't understand it.

Although it was daytime, the starlight of the stars poured down on Lin Yi. This was extremely pure stellar power, which descended upon Lin Yi even after crossing an unknown distance of space.

The power of the stars poured into Lin Yi's body, but Lin Yi could not absorb it all at once, so the power naturally dissipated out of his body through his acupoints.

Once outside the body, this stellar energy was not absorbed in time. Instead, it combined with spiritual energy and became a misty, ethereal aura.

An hour later, the concentration of immortal energy on the island increased several times over.

Those who were in seclusion for cultivation rushed out to check on the situation.

But none of them dared to get too close to Lin Yi; they could only watch from afar and understand that the source of this ethereal energy was Lin Yi himself.

Lin Yi and the others, being in the mortal realm, were unaware of what was happening and simply thought they were being bathed by the stars. However, the celestial realm was already in complete chaos.

The power of the stars is an extremely precious force. The Heavenly Emperor used the Great Array of the Stars to stabilize the stars and then appointed star gods to guard them.

The stars may shine on earth, but their power will only grace the celestial realm.
