Chapter 198 Psychic Communication? Annihilation
"The Jade of Spirit Communication?"
Lin Daiyu looked at that piece of jade.
It is as large as a sparrow's egg, as bright as the morning glow, and as smooth as butter, with colorful patterns entwined on its surface.
The light flowed, could change size, and even seemed to possess consciousness?
The front of the Spirit Jade is inscribed with the seal script: Spirit Jade, never lose it, never forget it, may you live a long and prosperous life!
The back is engraved with the following seal script: First, to ward off evil spirits; second, to heal grievances and illnesses; third, to know fortune and misfortune!
"Heh~~" Lin Daiyu sneered.
This thing, even though it's sentient, doesn't take on a physical form.
Is it that they can't or they don't want to?
Buzz~!
At this moment, the spiritual jade stone suddenly began to vibrate on its own, and a hazy light emanated from it.
A large amount of light and shadow emerged from within, and various information appeared before one's eyes.
The Jade of Spiritual Enlightenment is spiritually connected and has transformed into a human form to experience trials in the mortal world several times.
"Fairy Crimson Pearl, do you still remember the vow made between the wood and stone on the banks of the Spirit River?"
Rays of light surged from the precious jade, transforming into a human figure.
This person was none other than Jia Baoyu, the real Shenying Attendant.
The Jade Spirit is his true form, and Jia Baoyu is his reincarnation.
"It's my fault that it wasn't completely eradicated."
Lin Daiyu replied calmly.
Too thin, his five fingers spread wide, and lightning flickered within them.
Boom~!
Bolts of lightning struck the Spirit Jade.
The conjured figure instantly collapsed and disintegrated.
"what..."
"Fairy Crimson Pearl, have you forgotten the vow we made between wood and stone?"
Screams echoed from inside Baoyu's body.
Lin Daiyu remained silent, gathering her lightning and blasting it in.
Then he used magic to condense a burst of true fire, which enveloped the Spirit Jade.
"You're making a racket, you're ruining my mood."
Lin Daiyu spoke softly, increasing the refining speed.
Boom~~
ka ka ka-
A dense barrage of lightning struck it, shattering the light and dissipating the powerful consciousness hidden within.
"No, stop, we—"
The magical jade wanted to say something more.
But Lin Daiyu couldn't be bothered to listen; she was burning with anger and bombarded with thunder.
Under the tempering of thunder and fire, the consciousness of the Spirit Jade was erased one by one.
She ruthlessly destroyed the intelligence of the magical jade.
This scene terrified Fairy Jinghuan, who dared not even utter a word to stop it.
She stared in horror at the jade pendant that had been refined.
These are the five-colored stones that Nuwa abandoned when she mended the sky.
It has developed intelligence, yet you destroy its intelligence; this is a grave mistake.
Unfortunately, she was wrong. Destroying the spirit of the magical jade not only brought no harm, but also brought a great deal of merit.
Lin Daiyu, bathing in the merit, showed a hint of surprise on her face.
"I see."
She suddenly realized and laughed, "The Spirit Jade was originally a useless stone abandoned by Nuwa when she mended the sky. After it gained sentience, it could have relied on Nuwa's legacy to cultivate and achieve the righteous path."
"But you insisted on becoming a human and descending to the mortal realm to undergo tribulations. You said you were going to undergo tribulations, so why did you make such a mess of the human world?"
"What love and romance, what lovesick men and women? You've utterly disgraced the goddess Nuwa! If you don't die, who will?"
Lin Daiyu smiled dismissively.
Bang~!
The moment the words left his mouth, the magical jade shattered completely.
A surge of colorful primordial energy rushed toward her.
Lin Daiyu was stunned for a moment. She had originally planned to refine it and store it in the system space.
Unexpectedly, after she had just destroyed the spirit of the Spirit Jade and gained a large amount of merit, the Spirit Jade exploded, and a pure, five-colored essence belonging to Nuwa's patching of the sky was automatically absorbed by her.
"Was it given to you by the goddess Nuwa?"
Lin Daiyu's expression was strange. Her body absorbed a portion of the substance, and her primordial spirit in her sea of consciousness also absorbed a portion.
This surprised her.
In any case, she benefited.
"The Jade of Spiritual Enlightenment is gone."
Fairy Jinghuan stared blankly at the vanished Spirit Jade.
She never expected that Lin Daiyu would suffer no misfortune after erasing the spiritual intelligence of the Jade of Spiritual Enlightenment, but instead gain a great deal of merit.
This left her completely baffled; her brain was practically overheating, but she still couldn't figure it out.
Why?
"Where is Xue Baochai, whom I asked you to find?"
Lin Daiyu asked a question casually.
The Fairy Disenchantment suddenly awoke and hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty, Xue Baochai has been brought, and I have also brought my younger sister."
"Oh, then bring him in."
Lin Daiyu nodded; she was looking for the necklace that Xue Baochai wanted.
That thing is hiding some dirty tricks.
"Xue Baochai and Qin Keqing pay their respects to the Empress."
"May Your Majesty be well!"
Two beautiful young women came to pay their respects.
Lin Daiyu looked them over.
Xue Baochai is one of the Twelve Beauties of Jinling.
She was indeed a beauty, with fair skin and graceful demeanor.
Moreover, her lips were naturally red, her eyebrows were arched, and her eyes were like water apricots, captivating the soul.
The other Qin Keqing is also one of the Twelve Golden Forks.
She was beautiful and graceful, like a piece of jade, and was the younger sister of the Fairy Disenchantment.
"No gift!"
Lin Daiyu slightly raised her hand in greeting.
Her gaze fell on the necklace around Xue Baochai's neck.
"Xue Baochai, take off your necklace, I want to see it."
Lin Daiyu spoke softly.
Xue Baochai was taken aback for a moment, but obediently took off the necklace around her neck and handed it to the maid next to her.
The maid handed the necklace to Lin Daiyu.
She fiddled with the collar, examining its contents, and sure enough, there was something fishy going on.
Surprisingly, it has a special connection with the Jade of Spiritual Enlightenment; whenever the two meet, an inexplicable connection is formed.
"To toy with human emotions in such a pointless way, no wonder killing you can bring merit."
Lin Daiyu scoffed and raised her hand, sending a ball of lightning and fire directly refining it away.
Chi~~
A wisp of smoke rose.
"what..."
A faint scream rang out.
Xue Baochai was shocked and never expected that there was such a thing inside her necklace.
She couldn't help but shudder. What on earth was he carrying?
"Never to be separated, may your youth last forever?"
Lin Daiyu shook her head and tossed the necklace to Xue Baochai.
"Alright, this thing is indeed somewhat useful; it can keep you in your current youthful state until you die."
That's about it; it doesn't really have much effect.
Moreover, it is connected with the Jade of Spiritual Enlightenment; the two immediately create a wondrous connection and emotion upon meeting.
This is evil, heretical!
Using something like this to influence people's emotions—what else could it be but evil?
In her eyes, all love and romance is nothing more than lust at first sight.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Xue Baochai bowed slightly in thanks.
She stole a glance at Lin Daiyu, then immediately blushed and lowered her head.
For some reason, I felt an inexplicable fondness for Lin Daiyu the moment I saw her.
It seemed like something they were born with, like a match made in heaven.
A perfect match?
Xue Baochai's heart pounded wildly. Could it be?
"Qin Keqing, you are the younger sister of Fairy Disenchantment. Have you awakened your memories of your past life?"
Lin Daiyu looked at Qin Keqing and asked in a low voice.
Qin Keqing nodded slightly and replied, "Your Majesty, I have indeed awakened my memories of my past life."
"Very good. From now on, you two will stay by my side as secretaries and serve me."
Lin Daiyu nodded and announced the arrangements for the two of them.
"Yes, thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."
Qin Keqing and Xue Baochai were overjoyed; what a wonderful thing!
To serve as a secretary to Her Majesty the Empress would be an incredibly fortunate thing.
"Your Majesty, could you please release my family?"
Xue Baochai knelt down and pleaded.
Lin Daiyu sized her up: "You want me to release your wicked brother?"
“No!” Xue Baochai shook her head and said through gritted teeth, “Baochai begs Your Majesty to release my mother and Xiangling. As for my brother, the country has its laws and the family has its rules. Your Majesty will decide how to deal with him.”
Lin Daiyu looked at her in surprise.
She then nodded: "As you wish, your brother's evil deeds must be punished. As for your mother and Xiangling, they will be pardoned."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Xue Baochai breathed a sigh of relief.
At least the mother is still alive. As for the younger brother?
She might as well die, since she didn't dare to beg for mercy.
Because not only the Xue family, but countless nobles, powerful clans and gentry throughout the land were personally wiped out by this empress.
With heads rolling in the air, who dared to plead for mercy?
She dared not; she would be lucky to save her mother and Xiangling.
"Your Majesty, we have investigated all the information regarding Buddhist temples and monasteries."
A guard presented a piece of intelligence.
Lin Daiyu reviewed the intelligence information about the Jia family that she had gathered.
"Hmph, fine, fine—"
"They harbored filth and corruption, seized land, and enslaved the people."
"By imperial decree, eradicate Buddhism, level all these temples, kill the monks who should be killed, and exile those who have not committed any evil deeds to repair roads."
Lin Daiyu issued the order with a murderous aura.
"Respect!"
The guard turned and left indifferently.
The palace guards are all robots now.
The Fairy Jinghuan and the others present were somewhat alarmed and dared not show the slightest disrespect.
This empress is burning with murderous intent.
The fact that an imperial edict was issued to suppress Buddhism can only be described as those Buddhist sects bringing about their own demise.
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager requests your presence."
At this moment, a female official hurriedly entered to report the news.
"I understand."
Lin Daiyu waved her hand and instructed, "You all go down first, arrange things at home, and come to report for duty first thing tomorrow morning."
"Yes, Your Majesty, we respectfully see you off!"
Qin Keqing, Xue Baochai, and the Fairy Disenchantment all bowed to see them off.
Lin Daiyu left the main hall and walked towards the Empress Dowager's bedroom.
