The Divine Graveyard at the Edge of the Universe
"Hmm.☮♕ 💘ඏ" Lin Yunji. In fact, even if Earth Venerable Xuanwu hadn't said anything, Lin Yunji could probably guess what was going on with Demon Venerable Zhiyan.
He glanced down at the Demon Venerable Zhiyan in his palm, his gaze devoid of any emotion, as if he were looking at a tiny ant.
"Fellow Lin Yunji, please wait a moment." Just then, a divine thought came from afar, followed by a figure who had been torn through the void and arrived at this place. It turned out to be the Supreme Hongdu.
He quickly stepped forward, bowed to Lin Yunji, and then said, "The Demon Venerable Zhiyan Fellow Daoist Lin Yunji is so blatant that even a death without a burial is to be expected. However, he is still a member of our Source Realm, but he has been in seclusion for too long and is unaware of the current situation here. Therefore, I beg Lin Yunji to show mercy and spare him this time!"
This clearly shows that the Supreme Hongdu and the Demon Venerable Zhiyan have some connection.
"Hmm," Lin Yunji said.
He never intended to kill the Demon Venerable Zhiyan, and when he saw Lin Yunji agree, the Supreme Hongdu immediately relaxed.
"However, while he may be spared the death penalty, he will have to accept some punishment. The Demon Venerable Zhiyan has been causing chaos among the beings of the Source Realm at will, and he is so arrogant. If he is not punished, I'm afraid the public's anger will not be appeased," Lin Yunji said.
He was in seclusion healing his injuries, and the power of incineration and the power of yin energy in his arm were about to be refined, but he was suddenly disturbed by the Demon Venerable Zhiyan, which made Lin Yunji very unhappy.
"Of course." The Supreme Hongdu did not object.
"The Demon Venerable Zhiyan has been far too arrogant this time, saying things like 'those who obey me prosper, those who defy me perish.' He simply doesn't take us seriously. If we don't punish him, wouldn't that be letting him look down on us?"
"That's right, they definitely need to be punished!" Emperor Venerable Wuxuan said the same thing.
After the three finished speaking, Lin Yunji's gaze fell on the Demon Venerable Zhiyan Lord again. "Demon Venerable Zhiyan, your arrogance has disturbed all living beings in the Source Realm. I am now punishing you for guarding the Source Realm Divine Graveyard for a hundred billion years. Do you accept it or not?"
"I submit." The Demon Venerable Zhiyan, who had been suppressed in Lin Yunji's palm, was now like a fish on a chopping board. How could he dare to say he was not convinced? So he could only nod in agreement.
At this moment, he looked up at Lin Yunji, his heart filled with immense sorrow.
He had been in seclusion for so long, thinking that he could control the entire Primordial Expanse Universe after breaking through, but he never expected to run into such a wall as soon as he came out of seclusion, which almost crushed him to death.
"Hmph, let's go!" Lin Yunji snorted coldly, then grabbed the Demon Venerable Zhiyan from his palm. With his other hand, he tore open the void and easily threw the Demon Venerable Zhiyan from the Source Realm to the God's Tomb at the very edge of the Primordial Expanse Universe.
That location is the burial mound where many powerful core cultivators perished after the destruction of the Source Realm.
Lin Yunji was already thinking about what kind of person to find to guard the sacred tomb, fearing that someone who didn't know better might accidentally appear here and dig up the sacred tree.
Or perhaps a cultivator practicing evil arts secretly runs to the tomb of the gods and digs out the remains of a powerful being.
Now that the Demon Venerable Zhiyan has actually run into his hands, Lin Yunji can use punishment to make the Demon Venerable Zhiyan guard him.
After being easily Lin Yunji to the God's Tomb at the very edge of the universe, the Demon Venerable Zhiyan slammed heavily to the ground and remained in shock for a long time.
When he came to his senses, he looked at the tombstones all around him, which almost looked like a forest, and was immediately filled with fear and sadness.

"I'm so unlucky!" The Demon Venerable Zhiyan shouted as he stood amidst a forest of tombstones.
As soon as he finished speaking, all the tombstones trembled, as if responding to her with mockery.
After the sound faded, the Demon Venerable Zhiyan sighed and slowly got up from the ground.
"Never mind, since we're here, let's just stay here. After all, compared to these dead people under these tombstones, I'm better off, right?" Demon Venerable Zhiyan spoke, he released his Divine Sense, scanning the names on each tombstone and reading their brief biographies.
On all the tombstones, the Demon Venerable Zhiyan saw many people he recognized.
The appearance of the Demon Venerable Zhiyan was just a minor incident for Lin Yunji. After dealing with him, Lin Yunji returned to seclusion.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Yunji's arm injury finally healed.
Once the injuries heal, of course I can go back to the Vast Blue Illusory Realm.
Lin Yunji informed the Saint Venerable Daweide and the others that, apart from the Daoist Datuo, they soon appeared in the Heavenly Sovereign Imperial Palace.
The Daoist Datuo's injuries were too severe, and he had not yet recovered. He entrusted the Divine Venerable Xuanjian to take his Illusory Realm Spirit Pearl with him.
"Fellow Lin Yunji, this is the Illusory Realm Spirit Pearl of Daoist Datuo. I went to see him, and his injuries are far too severe. I'm afraid it will take more than a billion years for him to fully recover," said Divine Venerable Xuanjian with a wry smile to Lin Yunji.
"I understand." Lin Yunji gave a helpless smile.
Lin Yunji was well aware of how serious the Supreme Datuo's injuries were.
His hands were already so badly injured from grabbing the Green Jade Ghost Hand; imagine how severe the blows were to the Daoist Datuo.
It's already a miracle that he didn't perish in the Vast Blue Illusory Realm but instead came out into the outside world.
After taking the Illusory Realm Spirit Pearl, Lin Yunji said, "I will temporarily keep the Illusory Realm Spirit Pearl of Daoist Datuo, and give it to him to use after his injuries have healed."
After saying this, Divine Venerable Xuanjian immediately bowed to Lin Yunji: "Thank you, Fellow Lin Yunji."
Lin Yunji smiled and said, "No need to be so polite."
Everyone present immediately sat cross-legged, took out the Illusory Realm Spirit Pearl, held their breath and concentrated, and under the energy of the Illusory Realm Spirit Pearl, entered the Vast Blue Illusory Realm once again.
Lin Yunji and his group appeared again by the bonfire, but the flames had gone out. Fortunately, it was daytime in the Vast Blue Illusory Realm.
Looking at the extinguished fire on the ground, everyone present couldn't help but sigh.
The big battle we had here last time was incredibly dangerous.
If it weren't for Lin Yunji's desperate fight with that highly skilled Specter and his subsequent defeat of the Specter, they would probably have perished long ago.
"Fellow Daoists, now that everyone's cultivation has reached the Hunyuan Great Emperor, there's no need to keep fighting with some insects here. I think we should find a direction to move forward," Lin Yunji to all the Venerables.
All the Venerables nodded in agreement. Lin Yunji was right. Their cultivation had already reached the level of the Hunyuan Great Emperor, which was extremely high. There was no point in them fighting insects here anymore.
The gods had already anticipated that they would leave here and go elsewhere.
