Chapter 1167 The Teammate Who Had to Be Sold Off

Initially, the Immortal King's confidants, led by the Five War Gods, were very unhappy with the Immortal King's decision.

They did not deny Lin Yi's talent and strength.

At a young age, he raised his divine power level to level E without receiving any pills distributed by the gods.

With this achievement, looking across the entire pantheon of gods, no one would dare say they could have accomplished it at this age.

However, what they questioned was Lin Yi's loyalty.

To join the Celestial King's Palace and become a confidant of the Celestial King, simply attacking the Dragon Granny on the battlefield and killing the members of Dark Hing is not enough.

To prove his loyalty, Lin Yi had to have the Immortal King examine his thoughts.

As expected, the Immortal King found some truly shocking information in Lin Yi's memories:

The Nine Netherworld Incident was bound to happen, but Lin Yi's role in it was anything but simple.

By reading Lin Yi's memories, the Immortal King witnessed Lin Yi's infiltration into the Nine Netherworld, saw Lin Yi inherit the abilities of the Undead Monarch Lin You, and avenged Lin You by killing Qin Guang and acquiring Qin Guang's abilities.

The Celestial King witnessed a scene that had previously kept him up at night in anger: Lin Yi had mastered the Heaven-Piercing Brahma Sound and revealed the crimes of the gods to the Three Realms and Six Paths, causing the gods' reputation to be questioned.

Fortunately, the Immortal King had suspected from the beginning that Lin Yi was involved in this matter, which allowed him to suppress his anger.

Since so much time had passed, the Celestial King didn't hold it against him.

He deeply understood that everything in the world is a collection of contradictions.

Lin Yi did indeed bring negative effects to the gods by using the Heavenly Piercing Chant skill, but no one can say for sure that this skill will bring him, the Immortal King, more benefits in the future.

Taking this into consideration, the Celestial King lowered his guard and allowed Lin Yi to join the ranks of the gods. He also gave Lin Yi the title of a divine official, allowing him to enjoy abundant resources and even making him his representative in the Three Realms and Six Paths.

Take, for example, the fact that Lin Yi learned from his mind that he had obtained the Divine River Ode and caused the gods to suffer great losses through the Heavenly Brahma Sound. His actions did indeed cause the gods of the heavens to suffer considerable losses, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he deserved to be executed.

While it's infuriating, seeing memories of these things isn't all bad.

This, in a way, shows that Lin Yi had nothing to hide from the Immortal King. The fact that the Immortal King saw even this crucial matter proves that he was truly loyal.

However, the Celestial King did not completely trust Lin Yi.

Because he couldn't find any information about Lin Yi's family and friends in Lin Yi's memories.

Having ruled this world for so many years, the Celestial King is extremely cautious in his actions. If someone wants to gain his complete trust, they must be shown the reasons for their complete trust.

Relatives and friends?

It's really nothing to those who are obsessed with climbing the ladder and seeking power and strength.

However, the current Celestial King cannot be certain whether Lin Yi is indeed that kind of person.

In order to better monitor Lin Yi, the Immortal King made a seemingly generous decision: to give Lin Yi the Fuxi Talisman.

If this task fell on someone else, such as the Five War Gods or their other confidants, they would certainly feel honored and think that the Immortal King was giving them an important position.

After all, these guys are truly loyal and have no ulterior motives.

Lin Yi was different. He knew very well that this was the Celestial King's eye used to monitor him at all times, and the key was that he had no legitimate reason to refuse this so-called favor. As the saying goes...

Everything in this world is a collection of contradictions. There are many disadvantages in many aspects, and when something brings you inconvenience, it will also bring you benefits in another way.

For example, the Fuxi Talisman that monitors Lin Yi at all times.

Most of the time, this divine artifact, which he carried and possessed self-awareness, was indeed monitoring Lin Yi's every move, forcing him to obediently follow the direction the Immortal King intended.

But didn't this also make Lin Yi convince the Immortal King of his stance?

In order to completely purge the forces under his control and transform his subordinates into loyal servants, the Immortal King deliberately made public the fact that he had obtained the Fuxi Talisman.

Furthermore, the Immortal King upgraded his Fuxi Talisman to +99.

As for how this enhancement level came about, we'll have to find out from Old Man Gongshu.

There was no way to keep the fact that the old man Gongshu had mastered the enhancement technique a secret.

After all, he possessed the Divine River Song, which had been enhanced to +100. Wuzhiqi's equipment back then had never been enhanced, a fact that the Immortal King was well aware of.

Therefore, when Lin Yi was asked about the enhancement technique, he had no choice but to betray the old man Gongshu.

There's no way to hide this anymore.

"My Lord Immortal King, you really overestimate me. I do have some skill in this area, but I'm still a greenhorn. If I put in my best effort, I can upgrade the equipment to +70. But if I try to upgrade it any higher, it will probably damage the equipment."

"However, it's not impossible for you to upgrade the Fuxi Talisman to +99. I can recommend someone to you."

The person Lin Yi recommended was naturally Old Man Gongshu.

Fortunately, when they were on Blue Star, Lin Yi didn't reveal how to use the Fuxi Talisman, nor did he let many people see it. The Fuxi Talisman itself didn't realize how important Blue Star was to Lin Yi, nor did it know its exact coordinates. Otherwise, his weakness would have been exposed.

Gongshu De? That old man actually mastered enhancement techniques?!
The Immortal King had heard of Gongshu De's reputation. After all, Gongshu De was one of the Seven Heroes of Anxing, and such a status was worth studying.

If it weren't for the mention of Gongshu De, the Immortal King would never have imagined that he was connected to the Blue Star thousands of years ago.

"That's right, he is the last descendant of the Gongshu family. I only found out about him recently. The reason why my Fuxi Talisman can reach +100 enhancement level but not mine is because of the ruins on Azure Star."

Lin Yi told the Immortal King about the one-time enhancement device.

It is said that there is only one one-time enhancement device, and it was consumed by himself. The maximum value of Gongshu is +99.

The Celestial King felt quite helpless about this.

He never imagined that he would one day obtain the Fuxi Talisman, nor did he expect that the Azure Star, which he had ordered to be destroyed, would now be so valuable to him.

Regret is regret, but as a Celestial King, my own limitations prevent me from uttering such words of deep regret.

+99 it is, it's better than nothing.

The Immortal King didn't show much disappointment; he simply instructed Lin Yi to bring it over to Old Man Gongshu.
