That disaster came with great force, but left in a sorry state.
Seeing the lightning strike recede, the True Lord returned to his normal size.
He glanced down at Uncle Nine and his apprentice, then his gaze settled on Lin Yu: "You've had many opportunities, but you're also quite adept at causing trouble. You'd better be more careful next time."
In the past thousand years, this kid has been the one with the most profound opportunities and the greatest ability to cause trouble that he has ever seen, but he is also very much to his liking.
Lin Yu's expression hardened, and he cupped his hands in acknowledgment. "I will remember the True Lord's teachings."
After the True Lord gave a word of advice, the Faxiang dissipated.
"Xiao Yu, it's been almost half a year since you became my apprentice, hasn't it?"
"What's wrong with Master?" Lin Yu didn't know why his master had started sighing again.
"I just suddenly realized that Master is getting old and can't keep up with you young people anymore."
This is a true reflection of Uncle Nine's inner thoughts. He only obtained a primordial object yesterday, and it seems that he has obtained the authority of a righteous god today.
"Master, I've lived most of my life, but I haven't had as much experience as you have in just half a year."
"However, Xiao Yu, you must know that although you are talented, remember this: an unstable mind leads to greater trouble with greater abilities. And what did you do to cause so many righteous gods to unleash their divine might?"
Afterwards, Uncle Nine was also curious about what his apprentice had done and what taboo he had broken.
"Uh... it's nothing, I just accidentally gained some insight while cultivating and tried it out. I didn't expect to succeed so quickly." Lin Yu told Uncle Nine about the "Heaven-Reaching Talisman" that he had just comprehended.
"Remember to think twice before you act in the future, and don't be so reckless as this time!" Uncle Nine breathed a sigh of relief and patted him on the shoulder.
Lin Yu scratched his head. He didn't know it would turn out like this. In his previous life, all the characters in anime had the Heaven-Reaching Talisman, yet they never got struck by lightning. But here he was, almost struck to death.
He also needs to handle the aftermath of this natural disaster.
This natural disaster is different from the last one. Last time, Lin Yu only experienced a minor lightning punishment, but this time several of the Eight Divisions of Orthodox Gods have been mobilized.
The scale of the event was so great that any cultivator in the Lower Realm of the Spirit Illusion Realm could see it. Uncle Nine could already imagine that the Spirit Illusion Realm was probably in complete chaos at that time.
He urgently needed to send a message back to Maoshan, along with the "Heaven-Reaching Talisman" that his disciple had comprehended.
Uncle Nine was stunned the moment he learned of this talisman; in his understanding, it was indeed somewhat illogical.
No wonder he was struck by lightning; stealing the authority of the true god is no different from being a thief.
However, this is also because this talisman is the first of its kind to appear in this world and was not reported.
However, now that the world is isolated, it's very difficult to report it, so it's just bad timing.
Meanwhile, Lin Yu was still choosing among the group members' worlds.
Since we've already bought the Teleportation Talisman, we can't waste it. We might as well go to another world and see if we can use the "Heaven-Reaching Talisman".
"I've chosen you!"
Lin Yu ultimately chose Xu Xian's place, where things seemed peaceful for the time being, and it was also a good opportunity to test what would happen with the decree bestowed by the True Lord there; if there was any danger, he could simply run away.
Ning Caichen has a thousand-year-old tree demon that's difficult to deal with, and Xiao Yan is in the Black-Corner Region, so we won't bother him.
It's impossible to go to the system, and forget about Huang Rong; going to the martial arts world is useless.
None of the others replied; they're probably busy and I won't bother them anymore.
As Lin Yu applied to travel to Xu Xian's world, Xu Xian also received inquiries.
After he agreed, Lin Yu's body gradually became illusory.
Just as Lin Yu was about to disappear, he didn't notice that a tiny ray of light entered his body from the statue of the True Lord he worshipped.
Lin Yu's gaze shifted, and he found himself in an unfamiliar environment.
Compared to his own world, this world was indeed a hundred times more abundant in spiritual energy.
Xu Xian greeted Lin Yu with a smile, "Xiao Yu, you've arrived."
Lin Yu looked around and found himself in an elegant courtyard. Xu Xian was standing on a path paved with bluestone slabs, surrounded by a rich aroma of herbs.
The moment Lin Yu saw Xu Xian, he sensed a faint flow of spiritual energy within him, indicating that Xu Xian had already embarked on the path of cultivation.
"Brother Xu, where is this place...?"
"My humble abode," Xu Xian led Lin Yu into the house, "My wife and I usually brew medicine here."
As soon as Lin Yu entered the room, he saw a woman dressed in a plain-colored long dress, gently fanning the fire in front of the medicine stove. Hearing footsteps, she looked up, her eyes gentle and her demeanor refined.
"Xiao Yu, this is my wife, Lady Bai," Xu Xian introduced.
"Sister Bai," Lin Yu greeted respectfully. This was a powerful figure. If Lin Yu hadn't possessed the Heavenly Eye, he wouldn't have been able to tell that this was a snake demon, given his cultivation level.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, I've long admired your name. Please, don't stand on ceremony, have a seat."
Upon hearing Bai Suzhen address him as a fellow Daoist, Lin Yu quickly returned the greeting, as she could be considered Lin Yu ancestor in terms of seniority.
According to the information he had seen in his previous life, Bai Suzhen was a disciple of the Old Mother of Mount Li was of a higher status than his Maoshan Sect's founder Three Mao Perfected Lords. Therefore, Lin Yu really did not dare to be arrogant.
"No, no, no, Master Bai, you call me a fellow Daoist, I can't accept that title."
Lin Yu quickly declined, but actually agreed, wondering how his master should address him when they got back.
"Then I'll call you Xiao Yu, just like my husband does. And you don't have to call me Master Bai anymore." Bai Suzhen was taken aback. In her perception, Lin Yu was a pure Taoism disciple, but she didn't expect him to call her Master.
"Then I'll call you Sister Bai," Lin Yu said, not wanting to keep calling her "Ancestor Bai" in such a serious manner.
Bai Suzhen smiled and said, "Whatever you say."
Xu Xian chuckled from the side, "That's fine too. Otherwise, Heavenly Dao's and 'Ancestor' all the time would seem too distant."
"Xiao Yu, did you encounter some danger? Why did you come in such a hurry?" After exchanging pleasantries, Xu Xian inquired about Lin Yu.
"Sigh~ Don't even mention it. During my cultivation, I suddenly had an epiphany and accidentally comprehended a supernatural power that allowed me to borrow the authority of heaven and earth. As a result, I attracted the attention of the Eight Divisions of the Heavenly Court and was almost struck down by them," Lin Yu said, feeling distressed.
"Oh! Xiao Yu, you haven't cultivated some kind of evil magic that's universally condemned by gods and men, otherwise why would so many Divine Immortal want to kill you!"
After hearing this, Xu Xian joked that those of them who chat in the group every day are almost being corrupted by Xiao Yan and Su Xiaoxiao, these modern people.
"Husband... Xiao Yu is a legitimate Taoism, don't talk nonsense." Bai Suzhen gently scolded, then turned to Lin Yu, her tone gentle but with a hint of inquiry, "However, to be able to invoke the Eight Divisions of the Heavenly Court, Xiao Yu, the technique you've comprehended is probably extraordinary."
"Then hurry up and show us!" Xu Xian excitedly urged Lin Yu to demonstrate.
"It might not be safe here. There are Eight Divisions of Orthodox Gods in your world too. Don't let them attract your attention. I can run away, but don't let them destroy your house." Lin Yu saw that they were looking around, and finally glanced around.
"That's not difficult. Why don't we go into the mountains and gather some herbs?" Xu Xian suggested.
Lin Yu saw that he was really curious about this supernatural power, and he himself was also curious about what the Heaven-Reaching Talisman would do in this world after being issued an edict by the True Lord.
