I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

When the Eastern Heavenly Emperor saw Lin Yi and Bixia appear together, he roughly understood what was going on.

But Bixia's actions were utterly devastating, like killing someone's spirit.

They took away his power and now expect him to mentor Lin Yi?

The Eastern Heavenly Emperor was so angry he felt like he was about to have a heart attack.

But now that he's fallen from grace, he has no choice but to accept it.

After listening to his detailed explanation, Bixia led Lin Yi to leave, as there were still several others behind them!

Seeing this, the Eastern Heavenly Emperor finally couldn't hold back. He said sadly, "Back then, I didn't consider your feelings when I did things, but you've always been so obedient and sensible. Was it all an act?"

"Yes."

If she hadn't pretended, how could she have gotten to where she is today?

"Was all that father-daughter affection over the years just a facade?"

The Eastern Heavenly Emperor was deeply disheartened.

Bixia did not answer this question directly, but instead led Lin Yi to absorb the power of the next Heavenly Emperor.

After seizing the power of the Five Heavenly Emperors, Bixia was not finished. She led Lin Yi to the residence of the Two Saints.

"Now that we've started, let's not stop..."

Chapter 716 Broken Jade

Lin Yi originally had no intention of seizing the power of the two saints, after all, they were his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

But Bixia's words also made sense. He didn't want to put Bixia in a difficult position and act coy, so he simply accepted them as well.

The process was uneventful, and the two saints had been prepared for a long time.

Only then did Lin Yi realize that Bixia had already communicated with them.

"The Great Celestial Venerable's strength is such that it cannot be defeated without the combined power of the entire world."

These were the last words the Earth Mother Goddess left me, but they only surfaced in my mind after I came to the human world.

Thinking back to the Earth Mother Heavenly Lord, Bixia still had many feelings in her heart.

Without the gift from the Earth Mother Heavenly Lord, she would not have been able to secretly accumulate power over the years and leave behind a seed for fighting against the Immortal Realm.

Everything that happened today was within the Earth Mother Heavenly Lord's expectations.

What she saw was the beginning of a massacre, and the end of a massacre.

When Lin Yi died as King Zhou, the calamity had not ended; it had merely gone into hiding.

Lin Yi's return will reignite the bloodshed.

This is not a new catastrophe, but a continuation of the previous one.

Now, almost all the gods in the celestial realm have died out, which is also a manifestation of the accumulated calamity of slaughter.

This is the guidance of fate, and also the karmic retribution that has taken place in the celestial realm over the years.

But even the Earth Mother Heavenly Lord could not foresee the final outcome.

All she knew was who the ultimate enemy was and how powerful the Great Celestial Venerable was.

Lin Yi had a different understanding after hearing Bixia's retelling.

The Earth Mother Heavenly Lord said that the power of the world should be gathered together, but if this power is scattered, it is impossible to fight against the Great Heavenly Venerable.

Only Lin Yi was able to endlessly plunder the Great Dao controlled by others, and what he truly succeeded in plundering was the Demon-Slaying Manual.

In other words, only the Demon-Slaying Manual can defeat the Great Celestial Venerable.

Lin Yi's thinking wasn't wrong.

"Once we win this battle, we'll return these powers to them!"

Lin Yi did not covet these powers; he was only doing this out of necessity to concentrate his forces against the Great Celestial Venerable.

Bixia shook her head and said, "Taking it away is easy, but returning it is not so simple. Haven't you tried?"

Lin Yi: "..."

He thought of the actions he had taken when he returned the authority of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden to Jiang Linglong, and felt somewhat embarrassed.

Others can divide their authority because they have relinquished all the great principles they control.

Lin Yi controls too many Great Daos, and they have already merged. It won't be easy for him to separate one of them.

The dual cultivation method proposed by Yan Qingqiu is the most reliable.

But those he seized power from but didn't kill were all his elders.

"Never mind, forget I said anything. Being an ordinary god is fine too."

Lin Yi spoke with a slightly embarrassed expression, which made Bixia unable to suppress a laugh.

She'd always been so aloof, but now Lin Yi had genuinely amused her.

That sweet smile is just like when I was young.

Lin Yi stared at her intently, and for a moment it seemed as if he had returned to Mount Tai from back then.

One of them is a chivalrous knight-errant who roams the world with his sword, and the other is a capricious and adorable goddess.

"what happened?"

Bixia smiled briefly, then quickly composed herself and resumed her dignified and graceful demeanor.

Seeing Lin Yi in a daze, she asked him a question.

Lin Yi said frankly, "After all these years, your smile is still so sweet, it makes my heart flutter."

Bixia was caught off guard and was hit by Lin Yi's sweet words, as if she had suddenly eaten a piece of candy.

It was so sudden that she was stunned on the spot.

Once she realized what was happening, she quickly straightened her face and said, "There are many women in this world with sweet smiles, and quite a few who make your heart flutter!"

These kinds of sweet talk might fool young girls, but they won't fool me.

"In my heart, you will always be that playful and lovely Bixia."

Bixia: "..."

She used to be able to exchange sweet words with Lin Yi and treat him with complete honesty, but after maintaining her queenly demeanor for so many years, she's finding it hard to let go all out right now.

However, when she exudes her queenly aura, she reveals a touch of shyness, and this unexpected charm delights Lin Yi.

"Now that things have come to this, are you still going to pretend to be a stranger to me?"

Lin Yi took the initiative, grabbed Bixia's soft hand, and gently tickled her palm twice, teasing her until she blushed.

"You don't have time to play around right now!"

She was very serious.

She's usually like this, but at this moment, she's clearly all bark and no bite.

Lin Yi found her increasingly adorable and couldn't help but move closer. Bixia instinctively stepped back, but accidentally bumped into the wall, finding herself with nowhere to retreat.

Lin Yi stepped forward and pressed her down, whispering in her ear. Bixia turned her head away in embarrassment, not daring to meet Lin Yi's gaze.

"When I realized I had fallen for you, the scenario I fantasized about most was like this."

Bixia was about to struggle, but after hearing Lin Yi's words, she calmed down and wanted to listen to his story.

"You are so adorably shy, and you exude a captivating charm. All I want to do is hold you in my arms and whisper sweet nothings in your ear."

Lin Yi rubbed his face against Bixia's, and his heart raced as their skin rubbed together.

"Unfortunately, as the son of the deceased, I have never realized this dream."

A touch of sadness filled the air. Bixia, who was about to shyly push Lin Yi away, couldn't help but hug Lin Yi's waist as well.

The two embraced quietly, as if reminiscing about the past.

"You've worked hard all these years."

Lin Yi gently patted Bixia's back, his words conveying a sense of comfort.

Bixia didn't need comforting; she had endured it all these years.

But she never expected that after so many years of being strong, Lin Yi would only say one simple word of comfort to her, and she couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat and tears would well up in her eyes.

"I'm sorry, I promised you I wouldn't forget you, but in the end, you're the only one who remembers."

Bixia certainly didn't blame Lin Yi. She wiped away her tears and replied, "Our agreement was to forget each other, and I broke my promise."

And I know you've tried very hard.

Bixia never questioned who gave more in their relationship, nor did she complain about being troubled by love and waiting for so many years.

All she knew was that Lin Yi had already tried his best.

"Are we now considered as lovers finally united in marriage?"

Lin Yi held Bixia in his arms, finally feeling like he had achieved a happy ending.

Bixia paused for a moment, then said, "Of course it counts."

Time was tight, and there wasn't much room for her to be arrogant.

Cherish every minute and second you spend with Lin Yi.

After all, Lin Yi still had to go and talk about relationships with other women.

She really missed out on something in the past.

But since Lin Yi had once loved her wholeheartedly, Bixia had no complaints.

"Then I want to kiss you again, this time, not as a goodbye kiss."

Lin Yi made another request.

Bixia couldn't help but think back to their first kiss, which was also a kiss that was meant to be a farewell.

As time goes by, everything seems to be repeating itself.
