Lin Qi did not quite understand the inside story, but she did not ask further.
Just as she was about to say something, a warm current seemed to surge into her body, flowing through her limbs and bones.
Threads of pale golden aura rose from the Merfolk Clan cultivators and slowly settled onto Lin Qi.
As Lin Qi was wondering about it, she heard Dai Jun say with a hint of envy, "Power of Faith... Looks like I was quite lucky back then. I picked up someone extraordinary."
"What does that mean?"
"Power of Faith is indispensable for cultivators seeking to transform from human to immortal. Just as mortals offer worship to gods and Buddhas, cultivators accumulate virtuous deeds and good affinities, receive the worship of others, gather merit upon their bodies, and amass enough Power of Faith before they can transform their mortal flesh into an immortal body and become an Immortal Venerable presiding over a region."
"Among the powerhouses of the five realms today, none did not bestow grace upon all directions and attain their status through the Power of Faith offered from all directions." Dai Jun paused. "Why do you think the Xuantian Realm values Karma and good affinities so highly?"
Power of Faith was what gave rise to all of this.
That was why, when Dai Jun had heard of what Gong Liu had done, she had only thought it foolish.
Because Gong Liu had been cutting off her own future.
Others worked themselves to death trying to accumulate good affinities and gain Power of Faith, yet Gong Liu was different, committing evil everywhere... No amount of good affinities or merit could make up for the sins she had created.
If her bad karma ran too deep, one day she would suffer heaven's retribution.
