There are also factional struggles in the celestial realm. In heaven, the gods and Buddhas are actually fighting fiercely, and currently the Taoist sect is in a better position.
Therefore, in this battle of destiny, even the immortals and gods representing the Taoist sect can make their moves in advance.
It is perfectly reasonable for some immortals and deities to appear, whose strength far surpasses that of the Buddhas descending to the mortal realm.
Moreover, those who descend to the mortal realm from the Buddhist community are all reincarnations, and they all retain a portion of their true spirit in the celestial realm. Even if they are reincarnated, they will eventually return.
But the immortals of the Taoist sect are different. They descend to the mortal realm in their true forms and possess divine power, so they can recover their former strength much faster.
This is why the strongest True Lords have 25,000 years of cultivation, while Buddhas have less than 10,000 years.
This is related to the fact that Zen Master Dingguang delayed his awakening back then, but even if he had awakened back then, he would have had at most 15,000 years of cultivation.
Historically, in battles of destiny, the Taoists have always come out on top while the Buddhists have only gotten the leftovers; we've gotten used to it.
It's an unspoken understanding between us that we'd like to take a break and get some benefits.
If the people sent down are too powerful, they will steal the limelight from the Taoist sect, and it will be difficult to explain the situation later.
Many Buddhists regard this struggle for destiny as a special trial, and after returning to the immortal realm, their strength is often greatly enhanced.
Gu Tinglan knew that the Taoist immortals and gods were powerful, but this shadow was ridiculously powerful.
Are these immortals or deities that can be seen by humans?
With such terrifying power, how many lives did she kill and how many people did she annihilate?
Gu Tinglan looked at her carefully and indeed saw that the area around the shadow was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, full of murderous aura.
Can Lin Yi defeat such a powerful opponent?
Gu Tinglan was slightly worried. Although she did not want to become Lin Yi's partner, she had to admit that Lin Yi was quite charismatic.
Kind, upright, brave, and strong.
Being friends is alright!
Based on this consideration, Gu Tinglan also did not want anything to happen to Lin Yi.
However, she didn't dare to get too close to Jueying.
Mortals cannot discern her identity, but such powerful deities would most likely be able to perceive her special qualities.
Gu Tinglan observed from the shadows, unaware that Lin Yi and Jueying had already noticed her presence.
Lin Yi didn't say anything, and neither did Jueying; her attention was now focused on Lin Yi.
Even though she seemed somewhat embarrassed and angry, Lin Yi was not afraid at all and still said, "I will tell you naturally after the competition is over."
If I tell you now, how will I find you later?
By this point, Jueying was basically certain that Lin Yi had a unique way of finding her.
If the competition continued like this, she wouldn't be able to win the third round either, so she simply said, "I'm not playing anymore, you win the third round!"
Now, can you speak?
Jueying's concesion was quite straightforward, which saved Lin Yi some time. Lin Yi naturally agreed on the spot, saying, "I can tell you now, but there are some little mice spying on us, so why don't we go somewhere else?"
"Row!"
Both sides reached a consensus, and each used their own escape techniques. There was no agreed location, so this could be considered the third round.
Gu Tinglan, who was secretly observing, turned pale.
Am I a little mouse?
Chapter 490 Really? I don't believe it.
Lin Yi and Jueying could shake off Gu Tinglan with ease; with just a few quick movements, they vanished without a trace.
Lin Yi's situation was a bit more complicated. He was carrying two girls with him when he dashed away, so his speed was naturally slower.
Hua Nianrou had no martial arts skills, and Xiao Yue seemed to know nothing about martial arts either. The two of them grabbed him from the left and right and wouldn't let go.
Fortunately, he's just a two-dimensional character right now, without any feelings. Strictly speaking, it can't really be considered physical contact. Feel free to hug him if you want!
Jueying ran from the city to the outside again, hiding under the shadow that Lin Yi had first found. Only the shadow shifted slightly as time passed.
Lin Yi found her very quickly, which shows that he truly had a foolproof way to find her.
"Now that there's no one else around, you can tell me now!"
Jueying was very concerned about Lin Yi's answer. Judging from the current situation, if Lin Yi's real body was much stronger than his paper doll avatar, she would indeed be in danger of death as long as he could keep finding her.
In this way, her losing the bet with Lin Yi was a good outcome.
"I have a special ability to mark people I've met. Anyone I mark will be found no matter where they go."
"Such strange supernatural powers!"
Jueying couldn't believe it, but it seemed to be true.
Little did she know that Lin Yi not only possessed this supernatural ability, but could also monitor the status of the marked target in real time!
He even knew exactly what kind of supernatural powers he possessed.
For example, Jueying's true ultimate move, Blood Shadow Strike, is extremely dangerous. Even Lin Yi wasn't confident he could protect Xiao Yue from this move, which is why Lin Yi has always been wary of Jueying.
Blood Shadow Purgatory Kill is a technique where the Shadowless One enters the shadows and uses blood as a means to dye a person's shadow red.
When red completely permeates the entire shadow, that person dies.
Lin Yi was unaware of the principles behind this mysterious method of killing, and naturally had no way to stop it.
Instead of having a headache about how to save people after a big battle, it's better not to fight in the first place.
Moreover, since the other party didn't go all out against Xiao Yue from the beginning, Lin Yi thought that it wasn't impossible for Jueying to be turned against them.
What makes Jueying so special is her cultivation level, which is unreasonably high. This makes Lin Yi very lustful towards her body. If he kills her, he will gain 80,000 years of cultivation. Wouldn't that be great?
If Lin Yi himself were to come, and bring the mutated Demon-Slaying Sword, Lin Yi believed that killing Jueying would not be difficult.
But Lin Yi still held back.
To him, living but usable gods were more valuable than dead gods.
For example, Lin Yi did not turn Lan Yu into his own path.
Since he had the intention to win him over, Lin Yi's attitude became quite frank.
Although what he said wasn't entirely true, his expression and demeanor made it seem as if he were speaking from the bottom of his heart.
Jueying believed it on the spot. Now that she had gotten the answer she wanted, it was her turn to answer Lin Yi's question.
The first question is, how was her face ruined?
"My face was subjected to torture by a knife because I violated the heavenly rules. I was cut once a day. Before the old wounds healed, new wounds were added every day. Over time, it became this ugly appearance."
As Jueying spoke of this, he gritted his teeth inwardly.
She was once incredibly beautiful, so those people wanted to destroy her most prized feature: her face.
Lin Yi's question was like rubbing salt into her wounds.
Despite his reluctance to face the consequences, Jueying revealed the reason.
Little did she know, this was just a test from Lin Yi.
When you're willing to answer questions about things that are difficult to talk about related to yourself, you'll gradually become willing to answer questions about things that are unrelated to you but shouldn't be revealed.
If he's unwilling to answer even this kind of question, then Jueying's mouth must be very tight, and it won't be so easy to pry it open.
The three questions Lin Yi asked did not seem to involve any secrets of the immortals and gods, which was also to avoid arousing Jueying's suspicion.
Therefore, the second question is the simplest and there are no obstacles to answering it.
Jueying looked at the sky and said, "I was once the goddess of the moon palace, the god of darkness under the Taiyin Star Lord. Now I am just a sinful immortal and have no divine position."
Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to break through my divine domain so easily.
Although she no longer holds a divine position, Jueying still possesses a certain ability to control shadows due to her long-term use of the divine power, but this is completely incomparable to her previous ability when she held a divine position.
Her true power should be darkness, not just shadows.
"From what I've heard, you must have quite a background. How did you end up like this? I'm very curious about what crime you committed."
Lin Yi interjected at the opportune moment, intending to extract more information, but Jueying was very wary, only staring at Lin Yi, and said, "Are you going to use this question to exchange for the third question?"
It's clear that she even hopes Lin Yi can be replaced.
Since she wanted it, Lin Yi certainly wouldn't let her have it.
He became even more curious about the third question: What secret did King Zhou have that made Jueying prefer to talk about his own shameful past rather than anything related to King Zhou?
Based on this consideration, it is impossible for Lin Yi to be replaced.
"No, Miss Jueying, I'm still more interested in King Zhou."
Fortunately, Jueying was also an upright deity. Even though she was unwilling, she had no intention of lying or renege on her promise.
Upon hearing Lin Yi mention King Zhou again, Jueying even sighed.
"He was a formidable adversary, a benevolent monarch, a great warrior, and a charismatic man."
Ok?
It's one thing to have high praise, but what does it mean to say a man is very charming?
The crime you committed back then, could it be that you fell for King Zhou?
Judging from his tone, Lin Yi felt that it was pretty much true.
Judging from their first sentences, they probably don't have much of a story to tell; otherwise, they wouldn't be considered rivals.
In the end, even after King Zhou died, Jueying did not betray her faction, but she was likely convicted and punished because of her admiration for King Zhou.
If that's the case, then this girl, Jueying, must be harboring a deep-seated hatred!
Little did Jueying know that he had only given a brief evaluation of King Zhou, and Lin Yi had already analyzed almost everything about him.
This person is very cunning, but this is the first time Jueying has dealt with Lin Yi. Little did she know that Lin Yi's greatest strength was not his physical power, but his ability to analyze problems.
This is different from a person with great supernatural powers who can know everything in the world with a single thought; he uses limited information to speculate on infinite possibilities.
If Jueying knew, he certainly wouldn't dare to speak carelessly.
