A man from the Big Dipper, starting his charlatanship at Mount Tai.

Lin Xiu has now shown Emperor Wushi a clear path. Although there is still a long way to go, at least it is not indefinitely delayed.

Therefore, the Black Emperor is now extremely respectful to Lin Xiu. He not only listened to Lin Xiu's advice to "not cause trouble," but also transformed into a Taoist priest to avoid any further disputes.

But... since the Holy Maiden of the Purple Mansion had spoken like that, how could the Black Emperor possibly restrain himself? He broke down on the spot.

"Awoooooo!!!~~~"

As it howled, the illusion surrounding the Black Emperor gradually faded, and it returned to its original form as a large, robust black dog.

"Damn it! It's that big black dog! Wasn't he taken away by Immortal Lin? When did he escape!"

"You bastard! You're finished! We haven't settled the score yet!"

Normally, Black King would definitely have retorted immediately.

But now, the Black Emperor no longer takes these pampered pets seriously.

To everyone's astonishment, Black Emperor stood upright like a human, then began to strut away in this peculiar manner, running wildly into the distance!

"Old Gu! Old Zhong! Wake up! Bring out your secrets, the Emperor's successor is about to be born!"

And just like that, a large black dog running in a strange posture quickly disappeared from everyone's sight and headed straight for Zishan!

........

“Fairy Zixia, I have no grudge against you, why do you want to ruin my reputation and destroy your own good name?”

Lin Xiu was completely numb.

What did the Holy Maiden of the Purple Mansion do?

He invited all the top forces in the Eastern Wilderness, you bastard! What's the difference between this and an official announcement on social media?

"My good reputation? Your reputation, fellow Daoist?"

Upon hearing Lin Xiu mention this matter, the Holy Maiden of the Purple Mansion suddenly remembered something.

The next second, the Purple Mansion Saintess once again activated her innate Dao Embryo, causing a myriad of Daos to roar and spiritual energy to descend from the sky, once again attracting the attention of those who were frantically spreading gossip.

.......

Seeing that everyone's attention was drawn to her, the Purple Mansion Saintess slightly parted her red lips and said:

"Previously, there were rumors in the Holy City that were ruining Brother Lin's reputation, saying that Brother Lin asked various holy sites for holy women and holy scriptures because he was practicing some kind of lewd and evil cultivation method in order to improve his realm."

"There are even rumors that I, as a primordial Dao embryo, will definitely be harmed by Brother Lin."

"I can tell you clearly here that these rumors are completely unfounded!"

"Brother Lin is an upright man with a pure heart; he would never do such an evil thing!"

"Although I have already challenged Brother Lin to a duel, this is a contest of the Great Dao, and there is absolutely no reason for me to slander others because of this!"

"If I hear any more words that insult me ​​or Brother Lin, I will accuse the Purple Mansion Holy Land of bullying the weak!"

After saying that, the Holy Maiden of the Purple Mansion nodded in satisfaction, and even gave Lin Xiu a magnanimous look that said, "No need to thank me, it's all I should do."

However, Lin Xiu only felt like vomiting blood.

He simply couldn't believe that the beautiful, red lips of the Holy Maiden of the Purple Mansion could utter such piercing words!

"and many more!"

Lin Xiu suddenly remembered something and looked up sharply at the Purple Mansion Saintess.

"What do you mean... there are rumors circulating that I demanded saintesses and Bibles from various holy sites?!"

Lin Xiu could understand the rest of the gossip; it was nothing more than spreading unfounded speculations.

But... asking for the saint and the Bible... doesn't seem like a rumor at all!

Such gossip needs to be based on facts, and it can be easily disproven with a little research!

If that's the case, then why are there still such rumors?!

[The Heavenly Evolution Abacus!]

Lin Xiu waved his hand, manifesting the Heavenly Evolution Abacus, and began to perform calculations on the spot.

No, apart from "binary judgment," conducting a large-scale search takes time, and this time will fluctuate depending on the strength of the destiny of the object being analyzed.

This is also one of the weaknesses of Lin Xiutian's calculation method.

Through continuous practice, Lin Xiu has discovered three weaknesses in his Heavenly Evolution Abacus.

Firstly, intelligence can only be obtained through active deduction; there is no such thing as omniscience or omnipotence in a passive sense.

Secondly, the more complex the deduction, the longer it takes.

Thirdly, while binary reasoning can yield quick results, it may lead to deviations in situations where information is ambiguous due to overly absolute conditions.

For example, when Lin Xiu was deducing the Purple Mansion Saintess, he first made a judgment and obtained the result that "the Purple Mansion Saintess does not want to have children." Only after obtaining this result did Lin Xiu reveal more information about the Innate Saint Body Dao Embryo.

The reality is... not wanting to have children now doesn't mean not wanting to have children in the future!

Inequality solved in seconds!

.......

Lin Xiu looked puzzled, and the Purple Mansion Saintess was equally puzzled.

"Brother Lin, from what you're saying, it seems you're unaware of the recent rumors surrounding you?"

Lin Xiu: "......"

"I have been in seclusion for the past month to break through my cultivation, and I am truly unaware of this matter. I hope Fairy Zixia can tell me in detail what exactly caused this."

Lin Xiu felt that he had kept a low profile before the Tribulation of the Ascension Platform, so why would such rumors spread?

The Holy Maiden of the Purple Mansion pursed her red lips, hesitated for a few seconds, and then said:

"According to my Purple Mansion investigation, since more than a month ago, when the Holy Body Ye Fan cut stones in various stone workshops and threatened to demand that the major forces hand over the Holy Maiden and the Holy Bible... many rumors about Brother Lin have started to circulate."

The Holy Maiden of the Purple Mansion directly exposed Ye Fan.

"Ye Fan?"

Lin Xiu was stunned.

"Ye Fan?!"

After obtaining an accurate name, Lin Xiu immediately performed a binary judgment.

[Question: Did my gossip stem from Ye Fan's outrageous remarks while cutting the stone?]

【Yes. 】

Q: Did Ye Fan do this on purpose?

【Yes. 】

Q: Why did he do that?

【….】

[Q: Is he harboring resentment towards me for tricking him, and therefore seeking revenge?]

【Yes. 】

After conducting multiple assessments, Lin Xiu effectively sealed Ye Fan's fate as the culprit!

【You rascal, Ye Fan! Not only have I given you a permanent position in the Tianxuan Holy Land, but I've also made it so you don't have to run for your life like in the original story, and you can exchange your contribution points for scriptures and cultivation techniques.】

Although I have treated you like a beast of burden, is this how you repay me?

[They're truly inhuman!]

"Where is Ye Fan?! Where is Ye Fan?!"

Lin Xiu looked around but did not see Ye Fan.

"Hmph! Trying to escape?"

[The Heavenly Evolution Abacus!]

Lin Xiu took out the Heavenly Evolution Abacus again, intending to deduce Ye Fan's whereabouts.

However.........

He no longer has that luxury.

Because a stunningly beautiful young woman in white, with a touch of heroism and arrogance between her brows, was helping a sickly-looking old man into the central courtyard—it was Xia Jiuyou and Gai Jiuyou!

After hearing the Holy Maiden of the Purple Mansion's solemn oath of Dao, Xia Jiuyou was stunned on the spot.

A few seconds later, Xia Jiuyou, heartbroken, launched an accusation against Lin Xiu!

"Lin Xiu! You're a scumbag who likes to trick female cultivators into having your children!"

Crystalline tears rolled down Xia Jiuyou's cheeks like pearls from a broken string.

After saying that, she stomped her foot and transformed into a streak of light, flying away from the scene without looking back!

Chapter 221 And so Gai Jiuyou was completely numb.

Gai Jiuyou watched his disciple's retreating figure, his aged face filled with helplessness.

What on earth is going on here?

.......

Not long ago, because Lin Xiu requested to deliver the Sacred Fruit in person, Xia Jiuyou used the communication method left to him by Gai Jiuyou to summon Gai Jiuyou.

On their way to the central courtyard where Lin Xiu was, Xia Jiuyou and Gai Jiuyou told each other about Lin Xiu's situation. While expressing their admiration for Lin Xiu, they asked him the most about the forbidden zone of life and the dark turmoil.

Because...this concerns Gai Jiuyou's life and death!

"Master, is what Brother Lin said true? The forbidden beings in the forbidden zone are former emperors. After the path to immortality opens, they will all be born, thus creating unprecedented dark turmoil?"

Gai Jiuyou sighed, feeling that Xia Jiuyou knew about this too early, which was of no benefit to her.

However, since things had come to this point, he could only tell the truth.

"He's right, most of the masters of the forbidden zones are self-mutilated emperors."

"However, I'm not quite sure how many Supreme Beings will be born after the Path to Immortality opens. I really don't know how he calculated that there would be more than a dozen Supreme Beings."

He couldn't even deduce how many supreme beings would be born, so how could Lin Xiu possibly deduce it? Surely Lin Xiu's deductive abilities couldn't be superior to his, right?
