Chapter 249 The wickedness of the human heart is greater than that of mountains and rivers.
Remember me in one second! Fast updates, free to read!
Inside the Taixu Cave, Chan Yinsha looked at the scene in the water mirror and asked, "Lin Yi, what do you plan to do?"
"I've accomplished half of my purpose in coming to the Nine Abyss Divine Realm. The other half rests on the tens of millions of people enslaved by the Ninety-Nine Gates. So..."
As Lin Yi spoke, he reached out and summoned the Divine Firmament Thunder Pool, then gently sent it flying out of the Gate of the Great Void.
As the lightning-infused water poured down, the sky above the Cambrian Abyss was instantly filled with flashes of silver light, accompanied by thunderous roars, crackling, and hissing sounds.
"Let's just go for it. Let me see the methods of the three patriarchs of Taoism."
After Lin Yi finished speaking, the Gate of the Void was no longer hidden and appeared directly in the sky.
Thunder roared from the heavens, and a waterfall cascaded down.
The three Taoist patriarchs deep within the Ancestral God Mountain—Chen Xingzi, Yun Yinzi, and Lian Yunzi—immediately unleashed earth-shattering Taoist techniques.
A dazzling starlight, like a ribbon, rolled like a long river, within which many great formations were in operation.
Without a doubt, this true energy belongs to Chen Xingzi.
The other two streams of true energy were composed of numerous musical notes, and as the notes resonated, countless air lotuses appeared continuously in the void.
This is the divine sound and true energy of Yunyinzi.
There was another stream of true energy, pure white and gentle as a cloud, yet containing vastness, power, turbulence, vigor, generosity, and awe...
This true energy is the same true energy that Lian Yunzi possessed, a power that shook the four directions—the wrath of clouds and water.
The seas are churning and the clouds are raging; the five continents are shaking and the winds and thunder are roaring
These two lines of poetry are said to have been written by "Zhengqizi" of Zhengqi Academy, and they describe the imposing power of Lianyunzi's "Yunshui Nuqi".
This shows just how immense the "anger of clouds and water" must be.
The three great energies—Starry Sky True Energy, Innate Divine Sound, and Cloud and Water Fury—met the rolling thunder tide outside the Ancestral God Mountain.
The three founders of the three Daoist sects, the three disciples of the Daoist sect eight hundred years ago, indeed made extraordinary moves.
The thunder tide was cut off for two reasons: first, the three patriarchs of the Daoist sects borrowed the power of the Ancestral God Mountain and the Cambrian Abyss; second, after the battle at the Eternal Regret Demon Palace, the thunder water in the Divine Firmament Thunder Pool was less than one-third full and needed time to replenish.
Lin Yi put away the Divine Firmament Thunder Pool, and from the Gate of the Great Void flew out a series of great formations: the Nine Heavens Fire Palace General Outline Formation Diagram, the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation Diagram, the Five Sacred Mountains True Form Diagram, the Myriad Swords Illusion Formation...
In an instant, meteor showers, the Yellow River's winding course, the Five Sacred Peaks, and endless sword light all descended from the sky, crashing down on the Ancestral God Mountain like a raging storm.
Lin Yi activated the Taiyi Heavenly Escape Yin-Yang Array, deducing the situation inside the Ancestral God Mountain.
Ancestral God Mountain is an enormous magical treasure, but it has not yet been successfully condensed. Under the swift attack of the Gate of the Void, its flaws were quickly exposed.
"Found it." Lin Yi's eyes lit up, and the four primordial spirit avatars that had been prepared beforehand immediately took action.
The Taiji Golden Bridge descended from the sky, and the protective array of Ancestral God Mountain paused for a moment.
Lin Yi's other three avatars seized the opportunity, charged straight in, passed through barriers, and arrived directly in front of the three patriarchs of the Daoist sect.
A battle began abruptly and ended just as quickly.
When the Gate of the Void descended from the sky and appeared on Ancestral God Mountain, the sixth level of the Primordial Nine Abyss Divine Realm underwent a transformation.
Apart from Xingdoudao, Yaochidao, and Lianyunzong, the other ninety-six Daoist sects all sent people to Zushen Mountain to investigate the situation.
These ninety-six sects are divided into large, medium, and small sects.
Small sects make up about half of the total, and most of them only have a lone ghost immortal as their leader, who is not even subject to the tribulation of lightning. That's what small sects are.
Medium-sized sects, with four or five ghost immortals, occupy thirty or forty locations.
There are seven or eight large sects with twenty or thirty ghost immortals among them.
Because there are no tribulations of lightning in the Nine Abyss Divine Realm, many ghost immortals, despite their profound cultivation, are unable to undergo tribulations of lightning and achieve a qualitative leap. All ghost immortals who have successfully undergone tribulations of lightning have survived the great battle between good and evil.
After Lin Yi occupied Ancestral God Mountain, his first order was to refine the Thunder Pool. From then on, all Ghost Immortals could undergo tribulation in the Thunder Pool.
The second order was to abolish slavery.
All the Daoist sects wholeheartedly agreed with Lin Yi's first order. However, their attitude towards the second order was somewhat ambiguous.
The rulers of the Ninety-Nine Gates were not unaware of the harm caused by slavery. However, getting them to reform it was impossible, because that would be like cutting their own flesh with a knife.
Although there were many servants, not a single one of them was a Martial Saint. How could they possibly resist?
Although the Plains of Despair are vast, apart from the area near the Cambrian Abyss, the rest of the plains are dead zones and desolate places, where the servants have nowhere to escape.
With neither external threats nor internal problems, there is absolutely no need for reform.
Who would be so bored as to do something so thankless and exhausting?
After the three founders of Taoism were suppressed by Lin Yi, the other Taoist sects had no intention of resisting.
They only thought about serving Lin Yi as their master, and then cultivating two small sects to make up the total of ninety-nine. Wouldn't it be great if everyone lived happily ever after?
But now, this wonderful life is about to be shattered.
One by one, the ghost immortals began to connect, and magical artifacts were distributed to the Taoist disciples, who wanted to protect their interests and safeguard their homeland.
