The information that Tuoba Yan told Hu Liena was all trivial and insignificant.
With Hu Liena's strength, she will eventually reach the level of gods.
It's worth taking advantage of this small, insignificant thing to gain favor with the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation.
In the original storyline, Hu Liena did a lot of things that harmed the Spirit Hall because of her own feelings and even her slight infatuation with Tang San. She even exposed her teacher Bibi Dong's hunting of Da Ming and Er Ming.
This led Tang San back to the Star Dou Great Forest, disrupting and ruining his teacher's operation to hunt down a 100,000-year-old soul beast.
"Very good. The rest of you go back. Hu Liena, you stay," Tuoba Yan said.
Xie Yue was somewhat uneasy. At Hu Liena's prompting glance, Xie Yue, acting as her older brother, nervously allowed Hu Liena to remain in Tuoba Yan's room.
Tuoba Yan said, "Come with me."
"Where to?"
"I'm giving you an opportunity."
"Opportunity?"
"After entering this place, I sensed the power left behind by several gods. There was the Asura God, the Rakshasa God corresponding to your teacher, and also the God of Lust."
"The God of Lust? You want me to undergo the divine test of the God of Lust?" Hu Liena was a good girl, and no one had ever touched her body before.
Upon hearing that she would have to undergo a divine examination to become the god of lust in the future, Hu Liena felt very resistant.
Tuoba Yan smiled and said, "You look down on the god of lust?"
Hu Liena lowered her head and explained in a low voice, "I just... felt that its name was a bit inelegant..."
"You think its name is inelegant, or you look down on it. It is a first-level deity, and in terms of divine rank, it is no lower than your teacher, the Rakshasa God. In the divine realm, she can sit on equal footing with your teacher."
"Such a high status?"
"Of course. Never mind, you can go back. I was thinking of taking you to try your luck. Since you don't want it, then forget it."
"No, I want it." Hu Liena said anxiously in a low voice, "Tuoba Yan, take me to obtain its divine test, okay?"
"Come with me. Let me make this clear beforehand: I only have a premonition, and I cannot be certain whether I can help you pass the divine test."
"Thank you anyway."
Hu Liena was grateful to Tuoba Yan.
Regardless of whether she passes the divine test or not, Hu Liena will be grateful to Tuoba Yan.
Tuoba Yan said jokingly, "At a time like this, you're not thinking about our positions anymore?"
Hu Liena said, "As long as you don't kill my teacher, everything is negotiable."
For the first time, Hu Liena lowered her demands on Tuoba Yan to the bare minimum.
Tuoba Yan took her into the City of Slaughter to obtain the God of Slaughter Domain, and now he is taking her to try to obtain the God of Lust's divine test.
Upon entering the City of Slaughter, Hu Liena was unable to sense any divine presence left behind by any deity.
Hu Liena thought to herself that Tuoba Yan's ability to sense the divine thoughts left by the gods must be related to the fact that Tuoba Yan possessed divine power.
Although Bibi Dong was defeated by Tuoba Yan, she revealed a shocking secret—a secret that even Tuoba Yan himself was unaware of.
It turns out that the energy Tuoba Yan possessed was not soul power, but divine power.
This is also a key reason why Tuoba Yan was able to fight opponents of higher levels at the beginning.
Tuoba Yan led Hu Liena through the City of Slaughter, stopping and starting as he went. Any fallen person who tried to covet Hu Liena's beauty or make a move against her was killed by Hu Liena.
It wasn't that Tuoba Yan deliberately slowed down, but rather that he genuinely needed to sense the divine sense.
He didn't know why he could sense the power left behind by several gods after entering the City of Slaughter. He thought it might be because the power he possessed was divine.
Because he possesses divine power, in the ordinary world of Douluo Continent, his divine power is like a reconnaissance radar, making it easier for him to sense the various divine powers existing in the City of Slaughter than others.
Halfway there, Hu Liena asked, "Tuoba Yan, why can you still use soul skills? Can you answer a question for me: why are there so many grooves on your martial soul?"
Tuoba Yan's eyes instantly turned icy cold.
The talisman is his secret.
The talisman of the Holy Lord's Martial Soul can be removed. Once removed, the Soul Power level will decrease, and the Soul Skill attached to the Soul Ring corresponding to the talisman will be unusable.
Hu Liena sensed the coldness emanating from Tuoba Yan and realized that she had asked a question she shouldn't have.
Her relationship with Tuoba Yan was not yet close. It was far from the point where she needed to answer such a sensitive question.
Secrets can't be kept forever.
Anyone who is intelligent and observant will eventually discover the secret between the Holy Lord's Martial Soul and the talisman.
Not only Hu Liena, but Tuoba Yan guessed that Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, and Bibi Dong must have noticed the unusual movement of the runes lighting up every time his Holy Lord Martial Soul used a soul skill.
Tuoba Yan did not answer Hu Liena's question.
Hu Liena continued to follow behind Tuoba Yan, who stopped in front of a pink vortex.
This place was extremely remote. After walking a long way and passing through a forest of demons, he and Hu Liena finally arrived at this place.
"This should be it." Tuoba Yan reached out and touched the pink vortex.
Strangely, his hand was unable to penetrate the vortex. A protective layer was preventing Tuoba Yan from entering it.
Tuoba Yan guessed that it was a divine thought left behind by the gods. Only those who were approved by the gods could enter the vortex and undergo the gods' test.
Following Tuoba Yan's example, Hu Liena raised her hand, her slender white fingers touching the pink vortex. Unlike Tuoba Yan's experience, her hand entered the pink light shield formed by the vortex without any hindrance.
Tuoba Yan said, "You're lucky to have been chosen. Go in. But I must warn you, I can't be sure which deity left behind this divine thought. There might not even be any opportunity inside; it could be a trap."
Hu Liena focused intently. She sensed the pink energy resonating with her own being. There shouldn't be any danger. "Tuoba Yan, before we go in, may I ask you a question?"
"explain."
"You also need divine trials. Why are you helping us obtain divine trials?"
"It seems you still don't understand the Divine Trial. The gods guide their successors. Only those who gain the gods' approval can undergo the Divine Trial. As you can see, I am blocked outside by a mysterious force, unable to enter the world beyond the vortex. Some things in this world are yours forever. What is not yours, no matter how much effort you expend, will never be yours. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
Tuoba Yan looked at Hu Liena with a meaningful gaze.
Strictly speaking, a person can only obtain the divine position of one god, unless they possess two martial souls.
Even if one possesses two martial souls, if they are not recognized by the gods, their wishful thinking in trying to obtain divine trials will ultimately be in vain.
