Like a goat, Ye Zun can digest pretty much everything - as long as it's a gradual absorption.

I admit, I laughed when you compared Ye Zun to a goat. But yes, it makes sense that he'd be able to safely gradually digest the people he's eaten. I'm imagining that he's got specialized proteins and enzymes that can break down the bodies, isolate the energy, and convert it into something usable for him.

I've only seen the last episode once and I can't bring myself to watch it again so I may not be remembering this correctly, but I thought Shen Wei had Lin Jing push the icicle the rest of the way into his body so that it (the pain, I'm guessing?) would trigger one last burst of his ability which he used to send Lin Jing, the Regent, and the King back outside. It looked to me like what he did to finally kill Ye Zun was to use his ability to pull the icicle out of his body so that the light energy would bleed out of him and into Ye Zun. So as I was thinking more about this, I thought that maybe it was the contact or the exposure to raw Haixing energy that killed Ye Zun? As opposed to when he's able to gradually digest and process the Haixing energy without it bleeding all over his internal organs?

Also, Shen Wei was waiting for a specific time or event to happen before having Lin Jing stab him and I can't remember now what it was....

So they’d have ended up using the same kind of energy, and linked. Which I think is a pretty neat thought, because who knows what that might have turned into?

Yeah, I think this is very interesting! I was trying to think of any times in the show we might have seen ZYL displaying Dixing powers after being linked with Shen Wei but I can't. But this is definitely something that I think could be plausibly explored in fic, because probably all they needed was the time and space to really explore their new link and what it means for them.
