Chapter 649 Dongxu Camp Sentinel
"good!"
Yu Yaozi then fell into deep thought.
Memories of youth are always both blurry and profound. No matter how far we go on the road of life, we can always remember the pure self we were back then and adorn ourselves with all the beauty in them.
Thank you.
Li Weiyi stopped looking at Yu Yaozi and lowered her eyes to calm herself down.
She knew all too well that Yu Yaozi could never be Yu'er.
After a long while, Yu Yaozi was the first to detach herself from her emotions: "The situation in the Holy Temple Realm is very complicated. The patriarch of the Ancient Clan of Time and the Holy Master of the Holy Temple are both highly accomplished in cultivation, and the strength of the three major sects is not weak either."
"In addition, the rainforest habitat is facing enormous survival pressure due to the revival of the ancient immortal dragon vein in the East Sea. Also, because it is the habitat closest to the ancient kingdom of the Ruins of Time, it will become a third-party force to join in."
"In terms of the number of martial artists at the Transcendent and Longevity Realms, Lingxiao Palace is far inferior to these two."
"Once the habitat is established, we want to take a dominant position, or even a dominant one. This period is crucial. Otherwise, there will definitely be a lot of trouble later."
Li Weiyi immediately saw through it: "Is the Grand Palace Master worried that after the crisis is over, the Ancient Clan of Time and the three major sects will turn against us? Is he worried that the Rainforest Habitat, with its geographical advantage, will send a large amount of resources and people into the Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins, quickly expand its territory, and then occupy various Netherworld Domains, mineral veins, fertile lands, Heavenly Law Springs, and other resource treasures?"
"It's not that I'm worried, it's that it will definitely become a reality. It's easy to share hardship, but it's very difficult to share wealth."
Yu Yaozi continued, "I can suppress the transcendent with my own cultivation, but I cannot suppress the gossip, the overwhelming flood from below, or the pressure from all sides."
"Therefore, we must use methods to make them understand that they cannot do without Lingxiao Palace."
Li Weiyi's expression hardened: "Does the Grand Palace Master intend to let the army of the dead enter the Holy Temple's living realm? This is not a wise move. It goes against our original intention of establishing the Three Thousand Provinces Kingdom, expelling the dead from the Netherworld, and restoring peace to the world. I do not agree with it. Methods are acceptable, but there must be a bottom line."
"Do you think I'm that kind of person?" Yu Yaozi glanced at him sideways.
Li Weiyi pondered.
I think that if Yu Yaozi really made this decision, she would never tell him, and there is no need to tell him.
She said, "First of all, the army of the dead will definitely invade, and a fierce battle is inevitable. Even if all three of us go all out, it is still unknown whether we can stop them. If we can't stop them, everything will be over."
"Secondly, in the Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins, the Demon Kingdom has only been temporarily repelled, and Yu Baxian will not give up easily. The second battlefield of the Netherworld of the Dead should also be there, and they will definitely try to break through the Withered and Flourishing Zone."
"What we need to do is send Transcendence into the ancient kingdom of Time Ruins."
"With the Belt of Withering and Flourishing, a transcendent being is enough to block the Emperor of Martial Arts. A transcendent being can also suppress the various forces inside."
"This is the most effective method that Lingxiao Palace can use, and others cannot."
Li Weiyi suddenly realized and laughed, "Transcendent beings can also venture into various burial zones and spatial anomaly areas to search for supreme magical artifacts and other treasures left over from 20,000 years ago, as well as to collect imperial medicines."
"In the ruins of the battlefield, those ancient armors and magical weapons were all forged from rare metals. After being melted down, they could be used to forge standard guns and armor to equip millions of Five Seas soldiers and sweep across the world."
"Have the Grand Palace Master and the Mist Emperor met?"
Yu Yaozi gently shook her head: "Let's not consider her for now! As for the construction of the space teleportation array, Grand Historian and the Third Palace Master can go in and complete a part of it first, and I will try to complete the final inscription."
Li Weiyi was secretly disappointed, but then he understood Yu Yaozi's intention and realized why the Crown Prince would discuss such an important matter with a martial artist in the Longevity Realm. So he said, "Since the Grand Palace Master wants to use the Blood Mud Space to bring them in, then I have conditions to set."
Yu Yaozi said, "Alright, go ahead and speak."
Li Weiyi was able to respect her cultivation level and age, and did not presumptuously act as her master. Naturally, she returned the respect and did not regard him as a young junior who could be easily manipulated.
The most fundamental reason why two people can trust each other is that they can respect each other.
“First, we must not let them know about the existence of the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish,” Li Weiyi said.
Yu Yaozi said, "Of course, I will take them into the ancestral land and personally accompany you on a trip to the Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins."
“Secondly, I should get a share of the resources that Chao Ran found, especially the millennium-old elixirs,” Li Weiyi said.
Yu Yaozi rolled her eyes at him: "No matter what decision the Mist Master makes when he returns in the future, you will be the next master of Lingxiao Palace after me. Our goal is to create the most magnificent kingdom on the land of Yingzhou, sweep away the Netherworld, and march north to realize our ideals and ambitions. Then, under challenges and pressure, we will break through the Martial Emperor and even reach the Immortal Spirit Realm. Stop thinking about these petty gains!"
Li Weiyi knew she was just making empty promises: "Isn't the Grand Palace Master also pursuing the massive resources needed to cultivate to the Martial Emperor realm on his path to realizing his ideals and ambitions? If we can break through this desolate realm where the Cave Ruins Ghost City is located, the resources we obtain will surely help the Grand Palace Master become an immortal."
Yu Yaozi looked at him with surprise, not expecting him to see this far: "Of course you'll get a share of the resources!"
Li Weiyi smiled with satisfaction, then took out a piece of paper with the Divine Sword Talisman drawn on it: "May I ask, Grand Palace Master, is this really the Divine Sword Talisman?"
"Of course! It's not just, and it's not just as simple as the Divine Sword Talisman."
Yu Yaozi's expression turned solemn as she continued, "Being able to solve problems on your own is a demonstration of ability. Being able to evade all powerful enemies is also a demonstration of ability. Being able to endure and not provoke enemies you cannot afford to offend is rationality. Being able to always recognize your own limitations is true wisdom. But having a way to protect yourself is the only way to cover all unforeseen events. You did a good job this time in the Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins!"
...
For the next period of time, Li Weiyi and Yu Yaozi traveled together, sending the Third Palace Master, the Grand Historian, and a large number of martial arts masters from the imperial court into the Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins using the Heavenly Grade Boundary Bag and the Earthly Grade Boundary Bag.
Before leaving, Yu Yaozi borrowed the "Book of Bright Stars and Mornings" to dispel the darkness in the ancient kingdom of the Year Ruins and restore daylight. He claimed that he would seize all the "Books of Bright Stars and Mornings" held by the East Sea Rice Realm for him to study in the future.
In short, it's just empty promises again.
However, the Grand Palace Master also offered a substantial benefit, filling a gourd with the Glazed Spiritual Flame from her Spirit Realm to help Li Weiyi achieve mastery of the fifth level of the Six Like Burning Karma, "Glazed Pure Fire".
When Li Weiyi returned to the Holy Temple Realm, a month had passed. Mo Duanfeng and Tang Wanzhou had already left, returning to the Holy Dynasty and Dongxu Camp respectively.
The teleportation hall of Dongxu Camp.
"Whoosh!"
As the teleportation array lit up, Li Weiyi's figure appeared at the center of the array.
Yu He, who was guarding the teleportation hall, glanced at him with an unprecedented look, and said in his cold tone, "Check the boundary bag, look into the levitation mirror, and leave a drop of blood. The Sentinel is waiting for you in the camp!"
"The chief sentry? Not the deputy chief sentry?"
Li Weiyi was still quite curious about the sentry chief of the Dongxu Camp who had never shown himself.
After completing all the identity checks, he immediately headed to the top of Mount Ling, where the camp was located.
All the sentries and spirits he encountered on the road were filled with awe and respect upon seeing him, bowing in reverence, excitement, and admiration, their eyes looking completely different from before.
It's no exaggeration to say that some of the young women among the sentries blushed instantly when they met his gaze, unable to hide their shyness.
Even Tong Yanxue, who ranked fourth among the new recruits, took the initiative to greet and chat with him when they met outside the camp. Her respectful demeanor was tinged with admiration, clearly showing the significant difference in their abilities.
It can be said that the treatment Gu Zhenxiang and Wenren Tinghai received in Xiaoyaojing was exactly the same as what Li Weiyi received in Dongxu Camp.
After stating his identity and purpose, Li Weiyi met the Dongxu Camp sentry, led by a member of the Ling Shu group.
"Master Zhuang?"
Li Weiyi was very surprised.
Zhuang Shiyan stood beneath a row of purple wooden bookshelves, dressed in a white Taoist robe, with five long strands of beard hanging down to his chest, neatly trimmed, exuding an air of otherworldly elegance. Holding a bundle of jade books that resembled bamboo slips, he smiled and said, "Li Weiyi, we meet again! There are two sentry commanders in the Dongxu Camp, both selected by the sentry commanders to take turns guarding the area."
The Immortal Master of Du'e Temple who presided over the Qianlong Lantern Festival in Qiuzhou City.
Soon, Li Weiyi revealed an expression of understanding.
It should be noted that as early as the end of the Qianlong Lantern Festival, Master Coffin had said that he knew Zhuang Shiyan and affirmed Zhuang Shiyan's character.
On the way to Dongxu Camp, Elder Qin once said that Master Coffin and Sentinel were former teammates of Sentinel Spirit.
While tidying up the bookshelves, Zhuang Shiyan listened to Li Weiyi recount the detailed experience of his trials in the ancient kingdom of Suiyuexu, especially his actions against the Taiyin Sect.
The returning Shaoyang Guards all gave their reports.
After listening, Zhuang Shiyan said, "With the loss of the true disciple and half of the Taiyin Envoys, the Shaoyang Division can definitely be considered to have won a great victory, but trouble will follow. If the Dongxu Camp announces the truth to the public, you will be pushed into the limelight. If you use some means, you can suppress this limelight a little. What do you choose?"
Both Yu Yaozi and Zhuang Shiyan prioritize safety, hence the question.
Li Weiyi pondered for a moment: "There's no need to deliberately announce it; let nature take its course. Sometimes, the more you try to cover it up, the more the enemy will try to fuel it."
"That's what Tang Wanzhou said too."
Zhuang Shiyan has a gentle personality and his state of mind has long surpassed the "pure true self" and reached the level of "pure nature". He talked a lot with Li Weiyi, offering words of encouragement and asking questions about cultivation.
"By the way, your master should return from the Corpse Sea in a few months."
He was referring, of course, to the coffin master who went to the rotten swamp and sea of corpses to mend his broken body.
Li Weiyi showed a happy expression and was about to take his leave when he suddenly thought of something. So he said, "I heard that a hundred years ago, a shocking tragedy occurred in the Xianxia Sect. I have some questions in my mind. I wonder if you, Sentinel, could help me answer them?"
The tragedy at the Xianxia Sect was sealed off; it was a taboo topic that could never be revealed.
Upon hearing Li Weiyi mention this matter, even Zhuang Shiyan's composure was shaken, and he solemnly asked, "Who told you that?"
"I cannot say," Li Weiyi said.
Zhuang Shiyan asked, "How many people know this?"
"Just me." Li Weiyi naturally couldn't reveal Nangong's identity.
Zhuang Shiyan seemed to have thought of something, pacing back and forth. After a long while, he gave a bitter smile and sighed, "There were many participants back then, I knew the truth would eventually come out. What do you want to ask?"
“I’ve heard that the root of all this is that the Immortal Cloud Sect’s leader, who was also the previous Sentinel of the Cave Ruins Camp, raised the Void Worms on Yan Jue Mountain and practiced some kind of ancient forbidden curse. Moreover, the leader made a mistake in his practice and was controlled by the cursed monster, turning into a monster himself. May I ask, Sentinel, is the leader dead?” Li Weiyi asked.
