My Daoist partner helps me cultivate immortality

Who will make this sacrifice?

The three of them looked at each other in silence.

After pondering for a moment, the Heaven-Mending Immortal's expression changed slightly, and he exclaimed in shock, "Lin Ye still has the Stepper in his hand!"

"Have you noticed that he can bring one of us down from our horse?"

The leader of the Magic Network Alliance remained silent.

The Holy City Lord exclaimed in shock, "What?"

That's right.

The imperial palace is still in our grasp!

Since Lin Ye could garner 50% of the likes, he could certainly attract 50% of the continent's population in dislikes, enough to get one of the three people present to a near-dislike/like ratio...

When the time comes, the excited cultivators will follow suit and vote against him, and this unfortunate continental lord will be defeated by Lin Ye in the vote!

A terrible result has emerged.

In both of the most likely vote-counting scenarios, Lin Ye will definitely be able to protect Dong Shenzhou and at the same time, he will definitely be able to stop one of the three of them.

"This will be a huge blow to our alliance!" Butian Zhenren frowned and pondered.

The leader of the Demon Network Alliance pondered for a moment and said, "Let's exchange our likes for his dislikes."

"what?"

The leader of the Demon Network Alliance laughed and said, "Who said likes and dislikes are equivalent?"

The equivalence of likes and dislikes is only one possibility; likes minus dislikes is also a very likely settlement method. Therefore, likes are more valuable than dislikes!

"If Lin Ye calls on the world to give me more than 40% of the number of cultivators in a continent a 'dislike' vote, I will give him 15% of the 'like' vote."

The leader of the Magic Network pointed to the other two: "As for my votes, apart from the 15% that I give to Lin Ye, the rest will all be given to you. You will each receive about 15%, ensuring your victory."

The condition is that, before I give you the 15% of the likes I cast, I need to exchange them for all the remaining dislikes you give me. If I tweak things a bit more, maybe I can get them out?

The Heaven-Mending Immortal frowned and said, "Then you'll have to bear a very heavy sin."

"Likes are more expensive than dislikes. I'm only asking each of you to contribute 10% of the dislikes, which is already a special offer for cooperation! Adding Lin Ye's 40% dislikes from the transaction, it's enough for my total likes and dislikes to surpass Lin Ye's!"

The Holy City Lord asked curiously, "Are you gambling?"

Is the betting settlement method based on the sum of likes and dislikes?

"What if it's not settled by the sum of likes and dislikes? Wouldn't the likes we gave end up being used by Lin Ye to support a puppet on your side?"

The leader of the Magic Network Alliance said, "Lin Ye will not ask us to vote for him with the 15% of the chips we offer, because 15% of the chips are useless to him."

He will definitely ask to vote for my second-in-command.

As you all know, my second-in-command has always been close to Wanbaolou, and many people have always suspected that he has changed his mind.

In fact, he had already secretly pledged allegiance to Lin Ye, so Lin Ye would naturally support him.

But he was my double agent!

The Holy City Lord asked in surprise, "Is it reliable?"

The leader of the Demon Network smiled with narrowed eyes: "He would never betray me, because he is a doppelganger that I created using my cultivation technique."

(iv) "If the plan goes smoothly, Lin Ye originally had no chance to support a puppet, but after the transaction, it seems that there is almost a 50% chance of supporting a puppet of his own on my continent."

⑧ "So he will definitely fall into the trap, but in reality, no matter what happens, I can keep Xihe Prefecture firmly in my hands."

Upon hearing this, both the Heaven-Mending Immortal and the Holy City Lord beamed with joy. The Heaven-Mending Immortal laughed and said, "Good, very good! Use the opportunity to support the puppet as bait to lure him into the trap!"

(4) "We will not lose a single one of the three continents!"

The three of them parted ways happily.

3. The Lord of the Holy City returned to Nanzhan Prefecture and was suddenly shocked to hear terrible news.

While the three of them were having a closed-door meeting, the imperial palace made a move!

Taking advantage of the absence of the Holy City Lord and the Demon Network Alliance Leader from their stronghold, Wu Linye personally took action, shattering the soundproof barriers within the two continents and sending a powerful message to all living beings outside of the Northern Heng Continent:

"I, Lin Ye, have uncovered the truth behind the vote count!"

"The Creation Saint is only selecting the most influential cultivators; praise and criticism have the same effect! In the final settlement, both count as one vote!"

"I, Lin Ye, have formed an alliance with the Lord of the Holy City. All my fellow Daoists who support me, please vote for him and vote for me! Let's march towards victory together!"

The city lord of the Holy City stared wide-eyed.

Victory my ass!

Who allied with you?!

The thought of Lin Ye raiding his home filled him with a chilling yet exhilarating feeling.

Lin Ye's ability to garner criticism is almost as strong as his ability to garner praise. Currently, cultivators from all four continents are continuously showering him with criticism; the number of criticisms he receives probably already exceeds 50% of the entire cultivator population of a single continent...

This is really bad!

"By the way, didn't you say you didn't want the Magic Network Alliance Leader's praise? There's still a chance!"

The city lord of the Holy City immediately contacted the leader of the Demon Network Alliance.

To everyone's surprise, the other person appeared extremely sorrowful, completely unlike their previous high spirits.

"Fellow Daoist Saint (yes, his surname really is Saint), do you know how many fools from our two continents actually listened to his nonsense and gave him their thumbs up after Lin Ye disrupted things just now?"

"According to my preliminary count, it's more than a third of our total votes! I estimate you're about the same."

"We don't have enough likes."

The Holy City Lord's mouth gaped open in astonishment, as if he couldn't close it: "What did you say?"

After a long silence, the leader of the Demon Network Alliance said, "Fellow Daoist Saint, how about this? Next time the vote count is announced, whoever has fewer dislikes, we'll cast our votes for them along with our likes."

"In this way, at least we can ensure that our family preserves its strength!"

"This, this... Sigh! This is the only way!" After agreeing, the city lord of the Holy City cursed loudly.

Everyone focused on pursuing the best local outcome, including the cultivators under Lin Ye's command.

In this way, his own actions behind the scenes are quietly hidden beneath the surface.

Chapter 543 Not a Ticket Type (Two Chapters Combined)

Nanzhan Prefecture, a sacred city.

This city is extraordinary. It floats in the sky, shrouded in clouds and mist, and is formed from the purest spiritual energy in the world. It is isolated from the world and contains the highest-level spiritual veins and the most supreme blessed land.

The holy city is surrounded by mountains, with peaks upon peaks. Each mountain peak contains the spiritual essence of ancient mythical beasts, and the sounds of dragons and phoenixes echo from time to time, signifying good fortune and peace. The peaks are covered with snow all year round, which shines with dazzling light. It is the spiritual liquid formed from the essence of heaven and earth, which, after being solidified by secret methods, provides a continuous source of spiritual power for the entire holy city.

Amidst the blood mist, this vast blessed land is undoubtedly a pure land on earth.

In the center of the Holy City stands a magnificent palace called the "Holy Spirit Temple," the residence of the Holy City Lord and the place where he presides over grand ceremonies. The Holy Spirit Temple soars into the clouds, resplendent in gold and jade, with countless mysterious inscriptions appearing and disappearing, as if it can communicate with heaven and earth and stir up the winds and clouds in all directions.

At this moment, the city lord of the Holy City sat on the throne of the Holy Spirit Temple. He was a cultivator who resembled a god, with hair as black as ink and deep, unfathomable eyes. His cold gaze, which seemed to see through all things in the world, was filled with an inhuman sense of strangeness.

But at this moment, his face appeared somewhat pale, and his fingertips were trembling slightly.

Such a loss of composure has not been seen in a thousand years...

It's all because Lin Ye stole our house!

The plan of the three continental leaders has a flaw.

Their secret meetings were kept highly confidential!

With the help of Nuwa's divine blood from the Heaven-Mending Immortal, he unleashed a divine power that reached the heavens and the earth, preventing any information from leaking out.

But it also cannot flow in.

During the talks, they were completely unaware of any outside news.

The reason why it had to be kept so secret was that the leader of the Demon Network Alliance had learned an extremely important piece of information through various channels: Lin Ye had obtained extremely terrifying intelligence power by studying the remains of the illusory great demon, and might even have mastered the "Stealing Heaven's Law"!

　The four spirits are indeed as described.

The palace's strange intelligence advantage and its preemptive actions seemed suspicious.

No one expected that Lin Ye would have mastered the power of the two Dao principles, Dynasty and Stealing Heaven, at the Nascent Soul stage!

Now, the three of them must rely on the power of Nuwa's divine blood to completely seal off the flow of information inside and outside the meeting before they can feel at ease.

Who knew that, due to the absolute secrecy, they had no way of knowing the commotion Lin Ye had caused by raiding their home...

The city lord of the Holy City frowned in deep thought.

The fact that they held a secret meeting was also kept secret!

Unfortunately, a problem arose at this stage. An insider noticed something amiss and reported to the palace that two of the three were not at their base!

So, while the three were in a meeting, Lin Ye raided their base.

'Perhaps it wasn't that someone noticed anything, but rather that there was a traitor among us...'

The city lord of the Holy City quickly dismissed this terrifying thought; it was too horrible to continue thinking about it!

"Fellow Daoist Saint, could it be...?"

"Even the news of [Stealing the Heavenly Laws] was released by Lin Ye himself?"

In his panic, the leader of the Demon Network Alliance thought of something, and his face turned even paler as he exclaimed in shock.

The city lord of the Holy City gritted his teeth, his blood surging.

"Fellow Daoist Yuan, we've all been fooled by this kid!"

.......

the other side.

royal palace.

Lin Ye, who had just returned victorious from his raid, was sitting with the Lord of the Great Wilderness, reviewing and rehearsing their strategies.

The reason they weren't talking in the Lesser Celestial Court connected to the palace was because Lin Ye had already sent the Lesser Celestial Court to a certain place in the Age of Giants.

Hide the family members...

If you're going to put on an act, you have to go all the way. Lin Ye acted as if he had really offended someone, and he almost fooled himself into it.

"I see. As long as Lin'er doesn't benefit from it, it's hard to be suspected, let alone be proven wrong... and not benefiting is just an appearance."

The Lord of the Great Wilderness said thoughtfully.

Lin Ye nodded.

He has a lot of chips in his hand and countless choices. The reason he chose the current way of playing his cards is that he needs to grasp the key clues.

Lin Ye arranged this grand show primarily to keep himself hidden behind the scenes.

Although Lin Ye always thought that it was acceptable for his time travel ability to be exposed if necessary, it was because he was confident in his ability to cover his own risks.

But that doesn't mean he's going to reveal his hand for no reason.

In fact, after the appearance of the "Saint of Creation", Lin Ye was besieged by three and a half continents in terms of votes!

Especially when the vote count was first announced, with so many downvotes, it looked quite embarrassing.

Although votes are just a temporary number, the fact that Lin Ye was targeted from the very beginning is clearly very memorable for those in the Dark Ages who are encountering this new concept for the first time.

Once the first impression was formed, Lin Ye found it difficult to shake off the image that was being targeted in this vote.

It looks pitiful, but that makes people believe it.

"This move doesn't seem to offer me much benefit."

"In fact, to understand what I have gained from these three eras, we need to consider them as a whole system."

Lin Ye said, "They can't see the effects of coordinating three eras right now, so naturally they won't expose it."

The Lord of the Great Wilderness pondered for a moment and said, "But Lin'er, you have left traces of your activities in all three eras."

"What if, after the Three Realms Tournament begins, someone unravels the mystery and discovers that you've been profiting behind the scenes?"

"The enemy may not be able to defeat you, but what if they can spread the news quickly!"

"We can't just keep the players locked up in the arena forever... they have to be let out eventually!"

"Wouldn't this be troublesome?"
