Chapter 452: It doesn’t matter if there is a disaster
It’s not that Lin Du doesn’t want to come out, it’s mainly because the ancient god won’t let him go.
The three priests insisted that she learn everything before they would let her go, but how far had she progressed? She had to stop after learning for a while, because either her consciousness was not enough or her spiritual power was not enough. The Fu Sheng Shan, which was usually her good helper, had now become a monster that consumed her spiritual power and consciousness.
Not only does one need to enhance immortal power and consciousness, but one also needs to use it accurately, such as how to use magic to simulate the illusion in the Floating Life Fan, how to record a person's life, how to judge a person's faults... and even how to judge the merits and demerits of an immortal or even a god.
Lin Du's use of magic only stopped at recording people's life histories. By the time he monitored the immortals, his immortal power and consciousness had been completely overloaded, so he was forced to intensify his training.
Wei Zhi picked up all the "stones" and simply integrated the bone beads into his body at the place where the origin of heaven and earth was most concentrated, repairing his dragon bones, but the inheritance was not yet complete.
He was bored and confirmed that there were no immortals in the ruins. He left his demon-subduing pestle as a defense and took Chu Guanmeng to another pillar to search for things. Unexpectedly, he was pulled into another ancient god's inheritance.
Chu Guanmeng watched Wei Zhi enter a state of meditation in silence. He was so angry that his hair stood on end and he started digging the ground frantically. Unexpectedly, he dug up the treasure trove of some unknown ancient beast.
It happily jumped in, took a bite, rolled over, and before it had completely eaten it, it fell into a deep sleep with a gulp.
Oops, the snacks from the ancient beasts are a bit strong and need to be digested.
Wei Zhi was rejected by the ancient god during the inheritance. "You don't look rebellious at all, and your skills are weird. You don't look like a war god at all. How did you inspire the inheritance?"
The former evil monk, who was not rebellious at all, fell silent.
"Maybe, maybe, it's my fault?" Lin Du suddenly appeared in their inheritance.
She sighed, and the three priests behind her pointed and said, "Hey! Water God, please help train her. Her power is still too weak! What if she monitors people in the future and can't punish them?"
Lin Du's face was filled with fatigue. "Hello, old man, God of Water."
The water god was excited. "This one is good. I like this one. This one is very powerful. I like it at first glance."
Wei Zhi considered his words carefully, "I think..."
"I don't care what you think, I care what I think." Lin Du said, "Practice, I can't leave if I don't finish practicing anyway, I'll be happier if someone suffers with me."
Lin Du, who was oppressed by the three priests to the point of being insane, lost his human qualities, his eyes were dull and his words were incoherent.
The three huge mountains behind him were watching him intently, "Too weak! Hurry up and practice more!"
"You're going to get beaten if you hold the Floating Life Fan and the Dream Pen like this!"
Lin Du turned around like a stray dog whose fur was soaked by mud and water, and said ferociously, "No one told me that I would get beaten for holding these two things!"
"Isn't it good for me to use the Fu Sheng Fan as an ordinary self-defense tool?!"
The water officer smiled calmly, "No way."
The Heavenly Official was more lenient, "If you take it, you must take responsibility."
The official nodded and said, "My fan chose you, which means you deserve it."
Lin Du forced a smile and said, "I know, I know."
The once exiled water god glanced at the three priests and sneered, "Ha."
He turned to look at Lin Du, "Don't listen to them, if you don't agree, just hit the pillar! It doesn't matter if it causes a huge disaster."
Lin Du nodded perfunctorily, "I'm familiar with this matter, please tell me in detail."
The water god was more satisfied and thought that the boy was teachable.
The third priest suddenly had a headache. "No, that won't work. Come back. Or should we change to another god to inherit the throne?"
It doesn't have to be the Water God, the Winter God will do, and Lin Du's qualifications are also suitable.
The Water God turned around and glared at them, "What are you doing? You were the ones who sent the people here first, and now you want to go back on your word?"
Wei Zhi said, "Actually, I can learn it. Do you want to listen to my story?"
The Water God looked at him, as if to say, "You'd better tell me something, or you'll be in big trouble."
Wei Zhi sat down calmly, "I used to be a Buddhist."
The water god shook his head, "There was no such thing in my time."
"It doesn't matter." Wei Zhi said gently, "I have trained a dragon."
The water god became interested, "I have subdued a Hydra before."
"I destroyed the royal family's palace with my own hands." Wei Zhi looked at him.
"I personally broke the pillar that supported the sky." The water god became excited.
"I gave up my human body and became a dragon. I turned my back on Buddhism and returned to the path of the demon."
The Water God patted Wei Zhi's shoulder heavily, causing him to tremble. "I will give this inheritance to you."
No wonder even though he is dressed simply, his face looks like a monster that can cause a catastrophic flood.
Lin Du was taken to the God of Winter to study harder, striving to improve his cultivation.
After the additional training, Lin Du was pulled back to learn how to use the Dream Pen and the Floating Life Fan.
This was repeated until Lin Du used the Dream Pen to write the life story of one of the priests on the Floating Life Fan for the first time. He successfully pulled the god, who was now in a inherited form and less than one-tenth of his original form, into the illusion in the fan to judge his merits and demerits.
The three priests finally let Lin Du go.
"In the days ahead, as long as you practice diligently, after your cultivation level improves, you will be able to judge the gains and losses of the gods. However, your heart of Tao must not be tarnished."
The three priests gave earnest instructions, and Lin Du listened carefully.
"Even an emperor can make mistakes, so how can gods not make mistakes? That's why there must be people like you who dare to ask the heavens and the emperors to judge merits and demerits and forgive sins and blessings."
"But you will never be higher than the sky, nor will you dominate all gods and humans. Every thousand years, you should ask yourself, enter the floating life fan, reflect on your gains and losses, and never forget!"
Lin Duyan agreed, "I should supervise the gods for all living beings, and I should supervise all living beings for the world. This heart is a mirror, and I dare not forget to reflect on myself day and night."
It was the first time that the three priests looked directly into the eyes of the heir.
She has a pair of eyes that are too transparent, like the abyss when still and like a silver mirror when moving. It seems difficult to see through her, but one cannot help but feel a little frightened, as if afraid of being seen through.
It seems like this person was born to come here and inherit this divine responsibility.
Even though she is still weak now, even though she initially did not want to take on such a lonely and fair role.
Lin Du and his group were teleported out of the ancient ruins. The surroundings were no longer filled with the original energy, but with a misty fairy energy.
Wei Zhi stood behind her, holding the huge ball of fur that had just woken up and could not shrink for a moment. "It felt like a long time had passed, but also like a blink of an eye."
Lin Du turned around and said, "I'm afraid it's been a thousand years, and the axe has worn out."
Not long after the two of them came out, an immortal official came over. He was shocked when he saw the two people in front of him and saw the profound aura on them. He stuttered the words he had prepared, "Lingwei Zhen... Daojun, Taiyi Xing... Jun, the Emperor of Heaven summoned you."
Lin Du understood and said, "Please lead the way, Immortal Officer."
Chu Guanmeng was still dazed and could not hold on any longer. He transformed into a tiger and walked beside Lin Du with his fat furry paws.
"Why are you all out? How long have I slept?"
The immortal official laughed when he heard this and said, "The Taoist has been in there for more than 1,300 years. It's not a big deal. Usually, the immortals have been in seclusion for more than a thousand years."
Lin Du sighed upon hearing this, "It's great to have ascended to heaven. I have to add two more zeros to my life span."
The immortal official was somewhat puzzled when he heard this, but then he heard Taiyi Xingjun speak. His tone was as gentle as the night breeze, and he did not have the majesty of a real dragon as rumored. "It is because you were young in the past and advanced quickly. One year is equivalent to ten years. Others' thousand years are not as good as your hundred years."
"Your life span should not be a problem now, so feel free to use it. Don't be so anxious."
Wei Zhi walked beside Lin Du, looked down at the torn cloth on Lin Du's shoulder, turned around and glanced at the white-haired ball who was still walking clumsily without knowing anything.
He turned his head and looked at his shoulder again. OK, there was the same cut there.
Strong and good at fighting, but poor.
Wei Zhi spoke up, "Immortal official, could you please wait a moment so that we can dress properly and meet the Emperor of Heaven without being rude?"
Although he had only heard a few words about the inheritance that Lin Du had inherited, he could already guess how much shock and vigilance her return would cause.
She has a lot of responsibilities on her shoulders and has to fulfill her unfulfilled promises under great pressure, so she can't make too many enemies before things are done.
Lin Du has never paid attention to this aspect. Although he knows it, he hates such complicated rules and superficial work the most. So let him take care of these trivial and redundant matters.
At least, let the Emperor of Heaven know that Lin Du is not a rude and disrespectful person, and he should be respected enough.
Lin Du then remembered that her clothes were still torn. Chu Guanmeng was also startled and followed him into the Hanyue Secret Realm.
"When I was dozing off, I used the moonlight to condense a robe for you! Now every monk in the Heavenly Palace has a robe condensed with a lot of magic power and gems, and you have one too!"
Lin Du changed his clothes, but before leaving the small world, he met Wei Zhi, who had transformed himself into clothes after swallowing dragon bones.
For the first time in all the years they had known each other, they intuitively felt what it meant to be "like a human but looks like a dog."
It was as if they were too familiar with each other's casualness and bad nature in daily life, and suddenly seeing each other so well-dressed, it was a little hard to look at them.
I truly experienced the hardships and hypocrisy of working within the system.
The two of them, one looking at the sky and the other at the ground, quickly left the Hanyue small world.
There are many fairy palaces, and to get to the Yuqing Palace where the Emperor of Heaven resides, one has to pass through many places.
Before the two men and the "cat" reached the Emperor of Heaven, many immortals along the way either stopped by or called on their friends to watch.
"That is, Lingwei Daojun, and the new one, Taiyi Xingjun?"
But I saw that the immortal official often used by the Emperor of Heaven was followed by two people. The woman was dressed in a dark green cloak. When she walked, dark patterns of moonlight could be seen floating on her clothes, like bamboo patterns falling in the snow. Her hair and crown were neatly arranged, and she was dressed exactly like a Taoist disciple. Her aura was like winter snow and cold bamboo. Who else could she be but the Taoist Emperor?
The other one was easier to identify. He was wearing soft armor under a wide silver robe and had a warm smile on his face, but inadvertently, a cold light flashed in his elegant Feifeng eyes.
Chu Guanmeng whispered, "This is the first time I see you look so serious."
Lin Du sighed in his mind, "I have created a new persona for myself: someone who doesn't understand human relationships, works hard, and is selfless. After all, I am an inspector. I just hope that the leader will say something nice to me, and I will be thankful."
At this moment, a shout broke the silent gazes and whispers.
"Junior Master!!!" A clear female voice pierced through the thick clouds and mist and fell into Lin Du's ears.
The immortals only saw that Lingwei Daojun, who was like a cold pond before, suddenly smiled. The corners of his lips only raised slightly, but between his brows was melted snow, with a sense of helplessness and tenderness.
Lin Du smiled and stretched out his hand, hugging the fairy who was rushing up to him.
