Every group member was bewildered. The Lin Jiu in the image was vastly different from the Lin Jiu they usually knew.
No, he was completely different!
They could not make heads or tails of it.
Even Bai Yu, who had been silently lurking in the group, found it inexplicably amusing.
The blood-red glow surrounding Lin Jiu in the picture made him look exactly like some wicked demonic cultivator.
Although this sword was a Demon Purging Sword, it contained the Origin Law of slaughter. Its bloody radiance soared to the heavens, its killing aura blotted out the sky, and it was a sword of slaughter born alongside carnage.
Had Bai Yu not tampered with it, Lin Jiu's current strength would have made it utterly impossible for him to control this divine sword of ultimate slaughter.
In fact, Bai Yu had made a few adjustments to every Sixteenth Order treasure in the red packets.
Otherwise, with the level of strength possessed by the people in the group, there was no way they could have controlled these Sixteenth Order treasures.
For instance, when Yang Jian had wanted to fuse with the Innate Yin Yang Qi earlier, he would likely have exploded to death if not for Bai Yu.
To the group members, the Sixteenth Order treasures Bai Yu had sent were simply beyond their ability to enjoy.
Their level was far too high.
So Bai Yu had conscientiously provided after-sales service.
Now, it could be said that every group member possessed Sixteenth Order power.
Well, since they all possessed power of the same level, the atmosphere for conversation in the Chat Group had become unbelievably pleasant!
When Yang Jian and Chonglou, both Grand Unity Golden Immortals, had chatted in the past, everyone else—including the group owner, Shi Yaoyao—had actually remained rather quiet.
They did not want to speak, and they did not quite dare to.
The gap between them had simply been too great.
But now, the group members could speak freely and say whatever they pleased.
Even Demon Realm Supreme Chonglou, who had previously rarely spoken to Lin Jiu and Xiongba, was now chatting enthusiastically.
It had to be said, this was realistic and genuine.
All the group members understood it perfectly well, though none of them said it aloud.
Now, Bai Yu was the only one who had not integrated into the group.
Still, Bai Yu did not care. He truly had no topics in common with the others in the group, nor did he want to listen to any flattery.
Rather than that, he might as well stay quiet, lurk in the group in secret, pass the time, and treat it as entertainment.
[Maoshan Heavenly Master]: What do you think of this Demon Purging Sword, fellow Daoists? I was just planning to use it to sweep away all the demons and monsters beneath heaven!
Lin Jiu completely ignored their comments. He was exceedingly satisfied with the Demon Purging Sword and could hardly bear to put it down!
Moreover, when he was not using the sword's power, it looked no different from an ordinary bronze sword and was not particularly conspicuous.
[Sect Master Baiyue]: This Sect Master does not enjoy fighting and killing. The Book of Heaven's Governance suits my temperament better. Note: See image (jpg)
Sect Master Baiyue promptly sent a selfie as well.
In the image, Sect Master Baiyue wore white robes, his long hair drifting in the wind. His expression was kindly, and he carried the air of one sober man amid a world of drunks.
One hand rested behind his back, while the other supported a golden book floating in midair.
He looked like an elderly sage, yet also like a saint preaching to the faithful.
At a glance, anyone would feel that he was a person who reasoned with others.
This golden book was the Sixteenth Order supreme treasure Sect Master Baiyue had obtained from Bai Yu's red packet. It was called the Book of Heaven's Governance.
The Book of Heaven's Governance could imprint the ultimate principles of heaven and earth and possessed the power to govern heaven and earth!
[Maoshan Heavenly Master]: I have to say, it truly suits the Sect Master's temperament. [Xiongba]: The radiance of science shines upon the Sect Master. [Call Me Group Owner]: The Sect Master won't have to worry about getting beaten up when explaining science to people in the future. (doge.jpg) [Sect Master Baiyue]: I told them that they should embrace science, but they said I did not understand love and even wanted to beat me up...
Sect Master Baiyue took the lead in making a meme, and it was even a meme about himself. In an instant, the Chat Group was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
[Demon Realm Supreme]: What a pity. The Sect Master and I are at different points in time, or I would truly like to witness the power of the Book of Heaven's Governance. [Sect Master Baiyue]: Ahem, Demon Venerable, you flatter me. I have only just become an immortal. Even with the Book of Heaven's Governance, I would still be no match for you. (sweat.jpg)
Seeing Demon Realm Supreme Chonglou's message, Sect Master Baiyue was somewhat speechless. Although he possessed the Sixteenth Order treasure that was the Book of Heaven's Governance, Demon Realm Supreme Chonglou had one as well.
Moreover, Chonglou's was a combat-type magical treasure. Even if Sect Master Baiyue and Chonglou were both Grand Unity Golden Immortals, if they truly fought, he would probably still lose.
Sect Master Baiyue stated that he still preferred reasoning with others and explaining science.
Only when reason failed would he explain physics to them.
[Demon Realm Supreme]: Although my Chaos Hate Blade can split space and even sever time, it cannot travel through time. [Sect Master Baiyue]: ... (doge.jpg)
A bead of cold sweat appeared on Sect Master Baiyue's forehead, and he felt deeply relieved.
[Call Me Group Owner]: The Sect Master is trembling in fear. (laugh.jpg) [Call Me Group Owner]: @Demon Realm Supreme; Do not worry, Demon Venerable. The Myriad Worlds Chat Group is still in its early stages and its functions are not yet complete. There will definitely be a time-travel function in the future. (serious.jpg) [Demon Realm Supreme]: I look forward to it. @Judicial God; If we can truly travel between worlds, I will help you wreak havoc in the Heavenly Palace and beat up the Jade Emperor. [Prince Changqin]: Count me in! @Judicial God; I want to wreak havoc in the Heavenly Palace and beat up the Jade Emperor too. [Sect Master Baiyue]: Add me as well. [Maoshan Heavenly Master]: Why does everyone want to beat up the Jade Emperor? [Call Me Group Owner]: Cultivate bitterly, bestow blessings, beat up the Heavenly Emperor—the proper procedure still has to be followed. (crooked-smile.jpg) [Maoshan Heavenly Master]: We do not follow that procedure here. (sweat.jpg) [Judicial God]: ...
Of course, jokes were jokes, but Yang Jian truly did want to rescue his younger sister.
His current self was absolutely capable of doing so.
Besides, if he merely rescued his sister, those Saints presumably would not concern themselves with such a trivial matter.
As for whether he should amend the Heavenly Rules?
Yang Jian fell silent.
In the original fate line, Chen Xiang had amended the Heavenly Rules so that immortals could fall in love freely.
But was that truly appropriate?
[Judicial God]: Tell me, should I amend the Heavenly Rules?
Yang Jian found himself unable to decide.
[Demon Realm Supreme]: Boring love and romance. (cold.jpg) [Call Me Group Owner]: @Demon Realm Supreme; Perhaps you should get to know Zi Xuan. (doge.jpg) [Demon Realm Supreme]: ??? [Sect Master Baiyue]: It is not as appealing as science. [Maoshan Heavenly Master]: "When immortals fall in love, the Three Realms fall into chaos." Queen Mother's words are truly the truth. [Prince Changqin]: Take a middle path. The rules cannot be too harsh, but neither can they be too lax. Immortals may have love, but there should also be corresponding Heavenly Rules to regulate it. Otherwise, it will be a disaster for the Three Realms.
