[Ding, does the host intend to give the Realm Advancement Card to Ling Yi? I don't recommend you do that. It's best not to expose things that exceed the World Rule, not even to Ling Yi!]
[Ding! And, host, do you have a better, simpler method?]
Shen Qingyue shook her head. Of course, she knew what the system meant by a better, simpler method.
Do you really think Ling Yi is a fool?
[Ding, no, that's not it!]
Judging from Ling Yi's various behaviors, he is a person who prioritizes self-interest, is emotionally detached, and finds it difficult to trust others.
"According to the information you gave me, Ling Yi started killing people before he was even a year old, and he spent seven years directly or indirectly destroying 137 Martial Practitioner sects."
"Among them, two dynasties collapsed directly because he himself changed dynasties."
To be precise, Ling Yi achieved his first kill before he was even one year old, eliminating an elder of the Blood Demonic Sect. After that, he went into seclusion for two years, during which his strength increased dramatically, and before he was three years old, he destroyed the Blood Demonic Sect.
He left only a few servants to attend to his daily needs.
He secluded himself until the age of 10, then emerged as the Blood Demon Patriarch, challenging masters from all walks of Jianghu.
As the saying goes, once you enter the Jianghu, it's like entering a deep sea; from then on, you have no control over your own destiny.
Challenges involve victory or defeat, life or death.
Where there is life and death, there is hatred.
At first, Ling Yi was somewhat restrained, only injuring but not killing, and the injuries were not serious, only for the sake of winning and losing.
But there's nothing we can do; there are always fools, or brain-dead idiots who are used to being high and mighty.
Being bothered by a master can actually help him learn more techniques and skills.
But some worthless scoundrels, knowing he wouldn't easily kill someone, still dared to bother him.
Ling Yi simply didn't want to cause trouble, but backing down would only create more problems.
Annoyed beyond measure, Ling Yi destroyed the first major sect that had nearly driven him crazy.
It was only then that Ling Yi realized that the Jianghu was all about fighting and killing.
Sure enough, after the massacre of his entire family, the scoundrels who had been bothering him disappeared.
Those who come to him again are either experts or the Old Liu, who is good at both overt and covert schemes.
A master like Ling Yi would always give his opponent a chance to live; if they didn't seize it, they would die.
What Ling Yi hated most were those Old Liu.
Over the next seven years, Ling Yi experienced countless schemes: honey traps, poisoning, using martial arts techniques as bait, setting traps, assassinations, and so on.
The Blood Demon Patriarch, the more coveted and feared he becomes.
Ultimately, the dynasty met its end.
At this time, Ling Yi had already reached the Great Perfection of the Celestial Master Realm, possessing the strength to rival an entire nation.
Besides, Ling Yi isn't a wooden stake that can't be hit and just wait to be ganged up on.
If there are many people, run; if there are few, kill them quickly; kill them quickly and then run again.
To this end, Ling Yi spent a month specifically developing a powerful movement technique.
A movement technique that consumes one's lifespan to use.
This movement technique is something most people can only use once in their lifetime, but Ling Yi has an endless lifespan, so he can use it however he wants.
It can be said that Ling Yi's experiences over the past seventeen years have been both exciting and extremely dangerous.
He has taken countless lives and witnessed countless conspiracies and schemes.
"How could someone like that possibly fall for someone so easily? So your method simply won't work."
"For Ling Yi, only mutual benefit can bind them together."
"Furthermore, given Ling Yi's intelligence, he has probably already guessed some things. Although he cannot expose your existence, he has likely already figured Ling Yi out."
"In that case, there's no need to hide anything. Just as you told me before, sincerity is the ultimate weapon."
[Ding, Host, what you said seems to make sense!]
"That makes perfect sense!"
Shen Qingyue had been thinking about these things all night.
The more Shen Qingyue understood Ling Yi, the more she realized that it was pointless to try to outsmart Ling Yi.
"Buzz!"
At this moment, Gao Lan's Aura Field suddenly surged, and a brown light enveloped her.
The light effect lasted for a full three minutes before slowly fading away.
"Hahaha, I've finally broken through to the Golden Core stage! Zhuang Yuerong, what do you have to offer me? In this sect competition, I'll make sure you're clean by not kicking your ass out."
Gao Lan laughed wildly, completely oblivious to everything else, like Madman.
[Ding! Ling Yi's Affection for you has decreased by 1. Current Affection: 11!]
The system notification sound was like cold water, poured directly onto Gao Lan.
This instantly calmed Gao Lan down from her excitement.
"System, what's going on? Why did my Affection suddenly drop?"
[Ding, host, you just lost your composure, which clearly offended Ling Yi.]
"No, that's just how I am. If I dislike someone, I dislike them. Why lower my Affection?"
[Ding, host, as long as you're not worried about your Affection dropping to a negative number, feel free to do as you please.]
Gao Lan pursed her lips, but ultimately did not refute.
Having experienced the system's benefits, how could she possibly let it unbind and run away?
"Sorry, sir, cough, I lost my composure, I'll go kill the demon." Gao Lan knew that Ling Yi's Affection was very important.
But her personality prevented her from behaving like a timid, coy little girl.
To avoid further alienating Ling Yi, I should go kill demons and gain cultivation points!
At this moment, Mengli had already killed the three hundred bound Xiaoyao, but more and more centipede Xiaoyao kept emerging from the ground.
And this time the number is even greater.
However, Gao Lan has now Golden Core, and the range of his Gravity Domain has expanded tenfold, reaching a radius of one hundred meters.
The percentage increase or decrease in Gravity has increased significantly.
It can completely envelop Ling Yi and his group within the Gravity Domain without affecting his Combat.
Any centipede Xiaoyao that enters the Gravity Domain is like being pressed down by a heavy hammer, unable to move at all.
They all became sitting ducks.
Gao Lan and Mengli were flying high, wiping out demons with incredible speed.
His cultivation level and experience points increased dramatically.
Now, Ling Yi and Shen Qingyue were truly just spectators.
"Who is Zhuang Yuerong? Does she have a grudge against Senior Sister Gao Lan?" Ling Yi asked curiously.
" Zhuang Yuerong, the eldest disciple of Tianji Peak, possesses a Heaven Pin Wood Spiritual Root. She excels at crowd control and ranged attacks. Her predecessor, Gao Lan, was completely countered by Senior Sister Zhuang Yuerong."
"Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. Surely Senior Sister Gao Lan wouldn't hate Zhuang Yuerong Sister Zhuang Yuerong so much just because she was completely outmatched by her?" Ling Yi asked, puzzled.
"Both of them fell in love with Zheng Chong, the second senior disciple of Kaiyang Peak, so..."
Ling Yi curled her lip. "Competing for favor? What a fine name."
"It's Zheng Chong, Zheng as in solemn, Chong as in conflict, not vying for favor," Shen Qingyue said with a smile.
" Kung Fu Hustle, why bother with romance when you're cultivating immortality? Wouldn't it be better to spend more time cultivating?"
"That's not how it works. Cultivating immortality is a lonely and arduous process. If one only focuses on arduous cultivation, one is more likely to develop inner demons. If one has a beloved partner who can support and encourage one another, the chances of inner demons arising can be reduced."
Is that true? Is it really true?
Are inner demons easily born?
Shen Qingyue nodded and said, "Yes, it's very easy for a cultivator to develop a demonic inner demon. Generally, a cultivator will develop one every three to five years. If a demonic inner demon arises, at best it will make it difficult to advance in cultivation, and at worst it will cause a regression in cultivation or even damage to the foundation."
"So, being in a relationship can reduce the chances of having inner demons?"
"It can indeed be reduced, but that's not the main reason. The main reason is that the inner demons born of love are the easiest to eradicate!"
"Once an inner demon is eliminated, it won't recur in the short term. Therefore, some senior brothers and sisters will even..."
"What kind of skills? Will you actively pursue romantic relationships?"
"Yes!"
