Chapter 1195 Crisis? Or Opportunity!
His real name is Xiansheng Zhenjun.

"Hey, newbie, this must be our first meeting since you joined the ranks of the gods."

Dressed in an elegant black robe, carrying a black and silver fan with inscriptions, and with a cold and aloof expression, he gave off an aura of unapproachability.

I've heard that he's the second-in-command of the Celestial King's faction, second only to the Celestial King in strength and status.

Unfortunately, despite working under the Immortal King for so many years, Lin Yi had never heard the Immortal King mention the existence of this Manifestation True Lord.

As for how Lin Yi knew this, it was because he talked about it with the God of War from the East.

Having just joined the Immortal King's camp, he was unfamiliar with everything and could only chat with the Eastern War God, with whom he had fought before.

The Eastern War God didn't have much affection for this newcomer, but when asked about the faction's composition, he still clearly explained to Lin Yi the faction's structure: one True Lord under the King, five War Gods under the True Lord, and four Heavenly Demon Gods.

During his conversation with the Eastern War God, Lin Yi could clearly sense from his words that the five War Gods were not convinced of each other's superiority.

The five individuals were roughly equal in strength, and their contributions to the gods' camp and the number of times they helped the Celestial King were similar. Therefore, none of the five war gods were willing to submit to the others, and they often quarreled with each other on a daily basis.

At first, the Celestial King would earnestly offer guidance, but as time went on, he became too lazy to care.

Because of their strength and high status, the five war gods were all very proud. When mentioning other gods from other factions, the Eastern War God's tone was full of disdain.

According to him, the five war gods are the best in terms of status, strength, and contributions to the order of the gods, and they do not take the experts from other factions seriously.

Besides the Manifestation of the True Lord.

When the Manifestation Saint True Lord was mentioned, Lin Yi could directly sense from the Eastern War God's expression and tone that the Eastern War God had a deep-seated fear and respect for the Manifestation Saint True Lord.

This is the only exception, apart from the Celestial King.

In a daze, the right hand of the Manifestation Saint True Lord was already on his right shoulder.

"I heard you've been getting quite close to that guy, the Eastern War God. Didn't he tell you what kind of status I have in the Gods' camp? Yet you remained so calm when you met him. You've got quite the composure, kid."

It's a very strange feeling.

The hand of the Manifestation Saint True Lord was placed very lightly on his shoulder, without any divine power, primordial energy, or even source power.

But Lin Yi could clearly feel that the hand on his shoulder was very heavy.

That feeling didn't come from the pressure of quality, but was an illusion.

He had the illusion that the entire Three Realms and Six Paths were pressing down on him.

He could even vaguely sense that the whole world was falling toward him.

If it weren't for the blessing of the [Great Celestial Immortal Technique], which allowed Lin Yi to remain conscious at all times, he might have been firmly immobilized by the strike from the Manifestation Saint True Monarch.

"You flatter me, True Lord. I'm just a newbie who just joined. As for why I can remain so calm when I see you, it's probably because I'm young and fearless."

Seeing that Lin Yi was not completely intimidated by his aura, the Manifestation Saint True Lord finally revealed a relatively kind smile.

Since he didn't have any hostility towards Lin Yi to begin with, the moment he restrained his aura, Lin Yi felt all the pressure instantly dissipate.

The Manifestation Saint snapped his fingers, and the surrounding scenery instantly changed.

Lin Yi didn't even notice the divine power fluctuations emanating from him before he was teleported to the front of the True Lord's Temple. The residence of the Manifested True Lord.

Compared to the Fairy King's Palace, this place is much cleaner. Occasionally, a few clouds and cranes fly by, and apart from these, there are some plants that look very old.

The stone bricks underfoot were all shiny, and each step made a clattering sound.

Before Lin Yi could ask why he had been brought here, the Manifestation Saint True Lord had already spoken.

"I've noticed you've been loitering around for several days. You must have some doubts on your mind. If you have doubts, why don't you just ask the Immortal King directly? What are you up to, kid?"

The True Lord of Manifestation spoke calmly, his expression unchanged, but his words sent a chill down Lin Yi's spine.

Lin Yi was appointed as a divine official, exercising power on behalf of the Immortal King, and to a certain extent became the Immortal King's spokesperson.

Since joining the Immortal King's camp, Lin Yi had no interaction with this Manifestation Saint True Monarch, nor had he touched his interests. They lived peacefully for ten years. When they finally had a little interaction and exchanged a few words, he immediately dropped a bombshell.

"Your joke, True Lord, is quite amusing. I've just been a bit bored and have nothing to do these past few days. Could it be that you have some tasks on your plate? If so, I might be able to help you out."

Lin Yi truly did not expect that the Sage True Lord, a high-ranking god who usually did not take any action, would be so meticulous. His words really startled Lin Yi.

Upon hearing Lin Yi's explanation, the Manifestation Saint True Lord revealed a meaningful smile.

That smile left Lin Yi speechless.

What does that expression mean?

Did you see through your own lie, or is it just how it is all along?
Just as Lin Yi's brain was racing, a divine soldier from the True Lord Temple came before the Manifestation True Lord and respectfully bowed to him.

"True Lord, there is news."

When he said this, Shenbing's tone was somewhat hesitant, and his eyes kept glancing at Lin Yi. This series of actions clearly indicated that he was not in a position to report the news in front of outsiders.

The Manifestation Saint True Lord didn't seem to care, simply waving his hand and replying nonchalantly.

The priest is not an outsider. What is there that cannot be said in front of him? He represents the Celestial King. Is there anything in the Three Realms and Six Paths that even the Celestial King cannot know?

The accusation was so outrageous that the soldier reporting the news collapsed to his knees upon hearing it.

"True Lord, that's not what I meant. You've misunderstood me. I'll explain right now!"

Lin Yi sensed something different in the words of the Manifestation Saint True Lord.

This seemed to be a warning to his subordinates about their speech, but in reality, it was a reminder to himself that his every move was under the control of the Immortal King.
Under the instruction of the Manifestation Saint True Lord, the divine soldier staggered to his feet.

He then explained the purpose of his visit.

It turns out that the group of powerful individuals who went to the secret realm to obtain Nuwa's spirit had all died.

The high god who was fortunate enough to bring back Nuwa's spirit was already on the verge of death when he arrived in the territory of the Celestial King Star. It is truly remarkable that he has managed to hold on for ten years.

Apart from the Celestial Kings, among all the Celestial Kings' forces, only the Manifestation Saint True Lord is relatively strong.

The Celestial King was extremely busy, and although he wanted to rescue the high-ranking god who brought back Nuwa's spirit, he couldn't always be there to help.
