Lin Yi shook his head upon seeing this.
People die for wealth, birds die for food. This has been true throughout history.
Master Lu divided the demon-slaying team into four groups: the first group was responsible for luring the monsters, the second group was responsible for defense, the third group was responsible for attack, and the fourth group was responsible for vigilance and dealing with emergencies.
The group pushed their way through, and many of the monsters that blocked their path died with their eyes wide open in disbelief.
Lin Yi was assigned to the third group. He displayed water-based magic, using the basic Gui Water Divine Thunder technique, which was always effective and extremely sharp, drawing everyone's attention.
The cave dwelling occupied by the Golden Roc demon was not on a mountaintop, but rather in a lake.
The first group cautiously approached the lake, then unleashed their prepared spells, bombarding the area before immediately retreating.
The monster in the water was enraged and stirred up the water to rush towards the people on the shore.
The second group immediately took over, and the third group began their attack. Everything proceeded smoothly and efficiently. The group cooperated with each other and had developed a certain level of understanding, reaping the lives of the water monsters with fluid ease.
Lin Yi admired him. Leading a motley crew, Lu Yanwen was able to perform so well. He truly deserved to be an inner disciple of the Starry Sky Palace.
After clearing the monsters from the lake, the monster-slaying team went into the water.
Lin Yi casually cast a water-repelling spell and followed the others towards the Golden Roc Demon's cave.
The feeling of going on an adventure to your own cave with other people is... well, it's quite unique.
Suddenly, a faint seven-colored light appeared in the dark water, and the team members couldn't contain themselves and began to stir.
Master Lu gave a cold snort and said, "The great demon has not yet been eliminated, so we must be careful in everything we do."
Those who had been blinded by greed calmed down, and the group gradually approached the source of the light, which was a portal of light that shifted between reality and illusion.
Shall we go in?
Perhaps this is a trap, and once you're in, you'll be powerless to control your own destiny.
The gate was right in front of them, but everyone hesitated.
Lin Yi chuckled lightly, ignoring those hesitant and timid people, and stepped into the portal of light.
Once the first person is there, there will naturally be a second, a third...
After the demon-slaying team went inside, a flash of seven-colored light appeared, and the entire portal disappeared.
Inside the Myriad Transformations Thunder Cauldron, Lu Yanwen lay on the ground, unconscious.
Lin Yi held a jade bracelet in his hand, its surface shimmering with black and white light and adorned with ancient and mysterious patterns. This was none other than Lu Yanwen's natal magic weapon, the Qiankun Bracelet.
Only in places of extreme yin and extreme yang, or vice versa, can rare and precious materials be nurtured and refined into Yin-Yang Jade.
Evolution occurs at the center, following or resisting as one pleases. All things in the universe, the boundless chaos, exist within a single thought.
Although it is inferior to Hunyuan Steel in terms of material, it is superior in terms of magical transformation.
After playing with it for a while, Lin Yi casually tossed it away, and the Qiankun Jade Bracelet flew into Lu Yanwen's dantian.
He doesn't yet have the ability to deduce the restrictions of a ritual using just a magic artifact.
Lin Yi reached out and touched Lu Yanwen's brow. The dormant "Gate to the Other Shore" in his own sea of consciousness lit up, and the eternal light carried his mind into the other's sea of consciousness.
Scenes flashed before his eyes, and before long, Lin Yi found the scene where Lu Yanwen was taught the Five-Pointed Star Divine Restriction after he completed his elixir cultivation.
"Disciple Lu Yanwen hereby swears that I will never, intentionally or unintentionally, impart the Five-Pointed Star Divine Restriction of the Universe to any spirit. If I reveal it, may I be punished by the Heavenly Demon, my true self be destroyed, and I will suffer divine retribution, go astray in cultivation, and never be able to be reborn."
A sky full of stars appeared before Lin Yi, the starlight hazy, stardust flying, sparks drifting, stars rotating...
Each star represents a person's destiny, and the endless stars converge to form a long river of fate that seems to run through the past, present, and future.
Seeing it is like seeing the trajectory of the universe over billions of years.
"Is this the method of the Star Palace?" Lin Yi smiled slightly, and the Eternal Light carried his mind into the projection of the River of Destiny.

Chapter 144 A Fleeting Arrival and Departure
Within the Haoyang Sect stands a Demon-Suppressing Tower, which seals away numerous invisible Yin Demons and other mysterious demons, serving as the source of the inner demons and great oaths of the sect's disciples.
In comparison, the Star Palace's methods are more sophisticated, more powerful, and also safer.
Such methods of manipulating fate can be effective even against beings at the eighth-order Taiyi level. At the very least, they can transmit a certain amount of information.
Unfortunately, their opponent this time had a cheat code that went beyond the eighth rank.
Although the "Gate to the Other Shore" is just a seed, it already has the characteristics of a ninth-level Great Luo Immortal, having escaped the River of Destiny.
In this way, Lin Yi successfully obtained the refining technique for the Qiankun Five-Pointed Star Divine Restriction.
Inside the Star Palace, in the Heavenly Mandate Pavilion.
An elderly man with white hair and beard had a sudden thought. He used the Zi Wei Dou Shu method to deduce the answer several times, but to no avail.
After a while, the old man flicked his finger, and the jade cauldron placed to the side rang.
A young Taoist priest arrived at the door and respectfully asked, "What are your instructions, Ancestor?"
The old man said, "Go ask the sect leader if anything unusual has happened in the sect recently."
The young Taoist boy replied "Yes" and withdrew.
"The tree may wish to be still, but the wind will not cease," the old man sighed and shook his head.
