I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Fate, amazing.

When fate brings you together, you can meet even by casual strolling; when fate separates you, you can miss each other even by passing by.

This is the terrifying power of fate.

If fate has decreed that you are destined to be together, then nothing in the outside world can become an obstacle.

When fate has run its course, all your efforts will be in vain, like trying to fill a basket with water.

When the time is right, heaven and earth lend their strength; when things go far away, even heroes are not free.

The giant snake had seen through everything; she could foresee the future. Despite enduring countless hardships and traveling the world, he still couldn't find Lingyi.

This was an inevitable ending.

That's why the giant snake said at this moment that their marriage had come to an end.

But clearly, Lin Yi wasn't one to listen to advice.

"I've never believed in fate."

Lin Yi turned to leave, and the giant snake tried to persuade him with his mission, but ultimately gave up.

Unable to obtain what one desires, this is also Lin Yi's fate.

Lin Yi did not set off immediately. He returned to the palace and told Yan Qingqiu about his decision.

"I'm going to find Lingyi. I don't know when I'll be back."

"Go ahead, do you think I'd stop you?"

Yan Qingqiu was a little unhappy, but she was stubborn.

"I'm leaving the family in your care."

Lin Yi earnestly instructed, "I will keep an eye on everything in Da Shang. I will come back if needed."

"Hmph, if you don't come back, I'll just walk away. Anyway, it's not my Shang Dynasty."

Yan Qingqiu's tone remained arrogant.

Lin Yi felt apologetic, but didn't know how to express it.

It always feels superficial and insincere to say it out loud.

Lin Yi smiled and said, "I'll bring you a gift when I come back."

"Tch, what haven't I seen? I don't care about your gift!"

Lin Yi knew her personality and didn't expose her.

He simply picked up his demon-slaying sword, waved his hand, and left under the starry night.

He went to Xining City to see Jiang Linglong and let her know he was safe.

I wanted to talk to her about it before, but I kept putting it off because of Lingyi.

When they arrived at Jiang Linglong's place, they found it deserted.

There were a few notes left by her on the table; she needed to find a way to break her curse.

She didn't mention where she went, only saying that as long as she was alive, there would naturally be a chance to meet again in the future.

Lin Yi wasn't one to be coy or pretentious, and knowing that Jiang Linglong was still actively fighting the curse, he felt relieved.

Silently offering his blessings, Lin Yi continued his westward journey.

He was going to find Lingyi, so of course he wouldn't be running around aimlessly like a headless fly.

This is not very useful except for wasting time.

Lin Yi naturally had his own methods.

Yan Qingqiu gave him a lot of information. First, Lingyi's location should be a snow mountain or an ice field.

Secondly, Lingyi's personal freedom was restricted, possibly because she was trapped in some kind of confinement formation.

Third, it was Lingyi's parents who were behind all these schemes.

Based on all of this, Lin Yi immediately identified Kunlun Mountain as the most suspicious location.

Legend has it that Kunlun Mountain is the sacred site of the Queen Mother of the West, making it the most likely suspect.

Moreover, the Kunlun Mountains have a high altitude, which meets the conditions for vast snowfalls.

Therefore, Lin Yi chose Kunlun as his first stop.

If we don't find it in Kunlun, we'll search in other places.

At his speed, as long as he's certain Lingyi is still alive, he could easily travel to any snowy place in the world within a few years.

This is also why Lin Yi made this decision.

He didn't even hold a funeral for Lingyi. He froze Lingyi's body and hid it in a basement of the palace, while Yan Qingqiu created a clone that took the form of Lingyi.

The entire palace, with one king and two queens, was entirely hers.

Yan Qingqiu never dreamed that she could become the queen of the human race while being a fox demon.

Simply outrageous.

Knowing that Lin Yi was only thinking about Ling Yi, and that she was just an unfavored concubine, her resentment grew stronger day by day.

She remembered this grudge.

Lin Yi then had a rather extraordinary encounter upon arriving in Kunlun.

He kept his X-ray vision active all day, and he actually discovered a secret place.

This discovery overjoyed him, and he thought he had found Lingyi so quickly.

Unfortunately, this is not where Lingyi is imprisoned; it's more like a battlefield ruin.

Lin Yi could sense the killing intent and death aura contained within; the entire secret realm was desolate.

This trip turned out to be a disappointment.

However, Lin Yi did discover a pretty good treasure.

It was a patch of black soil, which at first glance looked no different from the surrounding soil, but Lin Yi’s intuition told him that this patch of soil was different.

He dug out this piece of black soil and tried to infuse it with spiritual energy. He then discovered that the black soil was indeed no ordinary thing; it would grow larger when infused with spiritual energy.

Lin Yi was a little curious: how big could this thing get?

He just tried it out casually, but to his surprise, it seemed to grow against the wind and quickly filled the entire secret realm.

Before long, even the secret realm was swallowed up.

Lin Yi quickly swung his sword, breaking through space and escaping.

This thing is too strange; he has never seen anything like it before.

As Lin Yi escaped from the secret realm, the black soil also appeared outside the secret realm along with him.

Lin Yi looked at the black soil that had fallen in front of him with a thud, and he inexplicably felt that this thing was a bit dangerous.

With just a little spiritual power, he made the black soil swallow a small secret realm. If he were to inject unlimited spiritual power, would the black soil swallow the entire world?

Lin Yi wanted to give it a try, but he was afraid that he would die if he tried, so he decided against it.

This time, when he picked up the black soil, he noticed something different.

He sensed that this thing actually had its own internal space.

Under the perception of divine sense, it was discovered that the interior of the black soil had become a secret realm, just as large as the secret realm before, but the desolation and bleakness inside had disappeared, and it was gradually filled with spiritual energy.

"What an amazing baby!"

Originally something from a secret realm, it was activated by a little spiritual energy and turned into something that swallowed the secret realm itself, and even purified it.

Moreover, the injected spiritual energy has not yet disappeared.

This is quite interesting.

Lin Yi looked at the soil inside, and an idea struck him. He took a peach pit out of his cloud bag and threw it in.

I don't know if it will be successful to grow.

After throwing the seeds in, Lin Yi continued to wander around Kunlun.

Because Kunlun was a key target for investigation, Lin Yi did not overlook any inch of land.

This search actually led Lin Yi to find quite a few secret realms, but they were all fragmented spaces, just like the place where he found the black soil before.

"Could this have been an ancient battlefield?"

Lin Yi didn't know much about ancient history either.

He is still unsure whether this world is the same as the world he traveled to before, since the civilization of the Shang and Zhou dynasties was too distant for him at that time.

Besides, who knows if there really were gods in that era?

So much so that even after Lin Yi transmigrated, he couldn't be sure if he had transmigrated to a different world.

As for even more ancient records, the details are even more unclear.

When he was studying, he only knew that the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were the beginning, and that Yao, Shun and Yu were the successors. Yu's son Qi established the Xia Dynasty, but he didn't know how many generations later, a tyrant named Jie came into being.

Then Tang of the Shang Dynasty destroyed the Xia Dynasty, and the dynasty lasted for several generations. Now it was Lin Yi's turn to become the last ruler of the Shang Dynasty.

The stories before or during the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors era are all just legends. Lin Yi was interested in archaeology, but even with the power of the state to collect data, it was impossible to fully reconstruct the stories of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors era, let alone those before.

Lin Yi had no idea whether there were any fights in ancient times, or who fought whom.

Therefore, making bold assumptions is not a bad idea.

It's a pity that no useful clues were left in these secret realms, otherwise Lin Yi could still do archaeology in this era.

Of course, Lin Yi couldn't be certain about the features of that era, but he could guess a thing or two.

In that era, there were probably many different races, and humans competed for the right to survive with other races in the form of tribes.

Just like the description in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, monsters are everywhere, and these monsters have all made their way onto the human diet...

While letting his imagination run wild, Lin Yi didn't forget to get down to business.

The black soil possesses a unique power that can absorb and purify these secret realms.
