Sheng Wulian's Challenge

The Longevity Flower, a supreme treasure of the Dao Seed Realm, is extremely rare and hard to come by.

It could even be said that it is raising the aptitude of martial arts practitioners and forging a more outstanding foundation.

Every member of the clan who is born with the potential to Upper Chief is expected to cultivate Longevity Body in the Dao Seed Realm, strive for higher achievements, and have a smoother and more glorious future in the Longevity Realm.

As for the ordinary chiefs, it's not that they don't want to compete.

Instead, he knew perfectly well that the Longevity Flower was not for him.

Zuoqiu Ling narrowed his eyes and whispered, "This girl really knows how to keep things to herself... Hmm, keep this a secret, don't let more people know."

The Hidden Lord looked at Li Weiyi and asked, "Are there many Longevity Flower growing up there? Is your combat power greatly improved because of the Longevity Flower? Have Cangli and Yao Yin managed to obtain them?"

Li Weiyi said, "The Longevity Flower is extremely precious, how could so many have been born? As far as I know, only three have appeared in total. Without exceptional cultivation, one cannot even dream of obtaining a single petal. Cangli and Yao Yin have not yet grown up and are not qualified to participate in the competition."

"You have the right, why don't you help her?"

Yao Qingxuan's voice drifted into Li Weiyi's ears from who knows where.

She witnessed the fight between Li Weiyi and Hidden Lord and was secretly surprised, guessing that Zuoqiu Hongting was able to obtain the Longevity Flower mostly with Li Weiyi's help.

The Hidden Lord's eyes darted around, and he said, "Cangli, I've always believed he should be independent and self-reliant, needing more trials to shed his noble airs and cultivate more wildness and resilience. But Yao Yin, she's suffered greatly since childhood, truly pitiful. Now that she's finally made it, what if she fails to cultivate the Longevity Body? All the glory and praise she receives now will turn into sharp blades of mockery piercing her. Alas, what if she can't bear it..."

"If you can't take it anymore, come back and live a secluded life."

Li Weiyi joked, then looked around and said seriously, "Yao Yin is a disciple of the Abbot of Du'e Temple. I don't believe that the Longevity Flower hadn't been born before we came to Nine Ring Reef. Surely it must have been born underground too? The important figures at Du'e Temple would definitely help her pick it."

Zhu Wushicheng of the Zhu Clan and Tang Bai of the Xue Jian Tang Ting are both renowned figures in the Lingxiao Shengjing, wielding immense influence in the Western Territory and Northern Territories. They both appeared at the camp gate.

Zhu Seventy-two Heavens, Zhu Yibai, Tang Zhan, and Tang Wanqiu followed behind the two of them.

"Greetings, Mr. Bai, Duke of Fifty Cities."

Zuoqiu Ling and Hidden Lord bowed in unison.

The difference in status between a martial artist in his early sixties, who had just entered the Longevity Realm, and someone with the status of a Great Longevity cultivator was immediately apparent.

Li Weiyi clasped his hands in a fist salute, bowed deeply, and listened to the legends of the two men before him.

Tang Bai appeared to be a scholar in his forties, with two wispy blue mustaches above his lips and turbulent air around him. He was extremely blurry, standing right in front of you, yet seeming a thousand miles away.

He laughed gently and waved his hand, saying, "No need for formalities, it's too polite. I've absorbed too many Immortal Dao Scriptures and can't control the greatly increased power within me for the time being, please don't mind."

Zhu Wushicheng was in a similar situation to Tang Bai; his body was enveloped in scriptures, and his aura was leaking out uncontrollably, creating a very oppressive feeling.

He was a man of bold and forthright character, and got straight to the point. "I've heard that a remarkable figure has emerged among the younger generation in the Southern Territory, comparable to Ancient Sect True Disciple, yet another Tang Wanzhou. Help the Zhu family seize a Longevity Flower; name your price."

Old Qin emerged from the tent. "An Emperor Medicine!"

Zhu Wushicheng didn't recognize Old Qin, but he could sense the extraordinary aura emanating from him. "Trading the Longevity Flower for Emperor Medicine, your Jiu Li Tribe really knows how to do business."

"Take it or leave it."

Old Qin, with his scarred face, glanced at the sky, showing no respect to these two second-generation heroes of powerful Myriad Gate Families, and said, "Competing for the Longevity Flower is extremely dangerous, especially since the Jiu Li Tribe itself is already in dire need of it. If you don't show enough sincerity, why should you help us with this?"

Behind Old Qin, Li Weiyi curiously transmitted her voice to Hidden Lord, asking what exactly happened.

"Below the Yujia Abyss, not only do Life Medicine and spirit crystals appear, but petals of the Longevity Flower were also blown out before. The Great Longevity Beings fought fiercely over these petals, allowing others to snatch up the Life Medicine and even more precious treasures."

"Therefore, after discussion, they decided that if the Longevity Flower appears again, it will be up to you juniors below the Longevity Realm to compete for it yourselves; whoever gets it keeps it."

"The Demon Race and the Dao Palace, with their numerous experts below the Longevity Realm, quickly reached a consensus. The Du'e Temple and the Lingxiao Human Race could only passively accept it."

The Hidden Lord added, "Since we can't get out right now, with your strength, you should have no problem protecting yourself below the Longevity Realm. If you can seize the opportunity to obtain the petals of the Longevity Flower, you can make a fortune."

"Zhu Yibai of the Zhu family and Tang Wanqiu of the Xue Jian Tang Ting are both top-tier students, destined to become disciples of important figures at the Du'e Temple. They will definitely nurture them with great effort."

"Besides, selling them to the Jiu Li Tribe will also squeeze some hidden treasures out of those old guys' pockets. Don't be jealous, to tell you the truth, those old guys value Cangli and Yao Yin very much, you can't compare."

Li Weiyi could certainly understand that Cangli was a direct descendant, as righteous as could be, and that Yao Yin was the future Ancient Sect True Disciple who could lead the entire Jiu Li Tribe to great heights.

But Li Weiyi might be the next Yang Shen Realm.

Zhu Wushicheng argued with Old Qin, trying to bring the price down. "Li Shenyin indeed very strong, but without the help of other martial artists from the Lingxiao Shengjing, he can't fight against so many opponents. How can he possibly seize Longevity Flower? Are we just going to hand it over to someone else? In the East Sea, we must unite and stand together against external threats."

Tang Bai chimed in, "We can discuss the price gradually, but the Emperor Medicine is just too outrageous!"

Li Weiyi was quite tempted. Whether it was feeding the Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors or breaking through to become Saint Mind Master, the resources and wealth required would be astronomical, so he had to plan ahead.

The martial arts practitioners of the human race from the Twenty-Eight Prefectures of Lingxiao Shengjing gathered sixty miles to the right of the Yujia Abyss. The camps and formations of various forces covered an area of several miles, with large flags and exotic beasts guarding it.

Dao Seed Realm Martial Cultivator and younger generations were successively brought over. They could evacuate at any time once a path to survival was opened.

Everyone gained a great deal and believed that Chaoran was able to defeat the powerful enemy. They chatted and laughed all the way, in high spirits. Their trip to the East Sea allowed them to meet heroes from all walks of life, absorb the energy of immortal dragons, and even enter the Ancient Immortal Burial Ground, enough to boast about for a lifetime.

Amidst the dangerous and tense atmosphere, there was a lively and bustling hustle and bustle.

Sheng Wulian white robes, adorned with a purple jade crown, and radiating boundless light, he stood a foot off the ground, his feet treading on ripples of magical energy, as he gradually made his way from the direction of the Yujia Abyss to the outside of the Ling Xiao human camp.

He was extremely famous; almost everyone knew him.

A bright lamp seemed to burn within him, illuminating his body like a radiant star. His voice echoed across the plains, "The true disciple of the Dao Palace, Sheng Wulian to life, demands an explanation for the deaths of the Huo Xin and talented members of the Rice Sect. I beseech the Jiu Li Hidden Person to appear before me!"

With the help of the Six-clawed Immortal Dragon Qi and Immortal Dao Scriptures, Sheng Wulian has condensed the Longevity Golden Pill in a short period of time, further advancing his cultivation. He only needs to break the Universe Lock to step into the Longevity Realm.

For other Longevity Golden Pill at the Ninth Heaven Dao Seed Realm, the elixir of immortality is an extremely difficult task. But for him, it was simply a natural process of condensing the elixir.

Sheng Wulian volunteered for the battle in order to defeat Li Weiyi in front of everyone, thereby saving face and consolidating his precarious position as a disciple.

This was also to stop Li Weiyi and give Si Wuyan a chance to seize the Longevity Flower.

The woman in purple robes at the Dao Palace had indeed taken two petals of the Longevity Flower, but gave them to the Purple-clothed Woman and Wu Hongling. This was because they were both from Shenyi Mountain.

"Wasn't it Huo Xin Liu Fengshu? Sheng Wulian is clearly trying to stir up trouble on purpose."

"It is said that the little fellow from the Jiu Li Tribe displayed great power up there, snatching the Longevity Flower from Sheng Wulian's hands and escaping unscathed, leaving this Ancient Sect True Disciple utterly humiliated."

"Li Weiyi is that powerful? I've heard that being able to withstand a single attack from the Sheng Wulian of the same cultivation level and survive is an extraordinary achievement, enough to make one famous."

"Sheng Wulian wants to regain face, he must kill Li Weiyi in public. That's why he framed Huo Xin and Daojiao for their deaths. Even if he kills Li Weiyi, the Jiu Li Tribe will have no choice but to suffer in silence."

"Yang Shen Realm has appeared! That old bastard really doesn't let any opportunity to deal with the Jiu Li Tribe slip by."

Sheng Wulian's high-profile challenge attracted the attention of young martial artists from all sides of the camp, who were analyzing his intentions and worrying about Li Weiyi's situation.

The Ancient Sect True Disciple stand like a towering mountain, awe-inspiring and intimidating. Young martial arts practitioners can only look up at it, unable to see how high it truly is.

Yang Shen Realm's appearance alarmed many of the older generation of powerful figures.

In Lingxiao Shengjing, the Sui Sect is now universally hated. The disaster of "Yin Shi Zhong Dao" caused the deaths and injuries of hundreds of millions of people, making the two sides Sea of Blood.

Yang Shen Realm was traveling with the Dao Palace, so he was fearless.

Yang Shen Realm stood on a dark brown boulder several miles away, his robes billowing like flags, his beard and hair swaying in the wind. He closed his eyes to meditate, surrounded by the aura of immortal dragons as vast as the sea, completely ignoring the deafening curses from the opposing camp.

He Sheng Wulian guard and protect Li Weiyi, and would also prevent the Jiu Li Tribe from rescuing her if necessary.

"Yang Shen Realm is even more unfathomable!" Old Qin's gaze traversed tens of miles of void, looking over there.

"The purity of Sheng Wulian has increased significantly; he must have condensed a Golden Core." Knowing the Hidden Lord looked at Li Weiyi with concern. "Our opponent's cultivation has taken a big leap forward. Do we have any chance of winning?"

Li Weiyi said, "Liu Fengshu killed the person, not me."

"That makes sense," said the Hidden Lord.

Seeing that Li Weiyi was hesitant, Tang Bai quickly said, "Sheng Wulian is here to stop you and doesn't want you to get involved in the competition for the Longevity Flower."

Zhu Wushicheng, realizing something, revealed a delighted expression. "This actually gives us an opportunity! With Li Shenyin, Tang Zhan, and Zhu Seventy-two Heavens joining forces, we can surely defeat him. It's not shameful for us to team up against the Ancient Sect True Disciple. Severely Sheng Wulian will greatly increase our advantage in the fight for the Longevity Flower."

Sheng Wulian that Li Weiyi wouldn't admit he was Liu Fengshu, but he still wanted to force him to use that tri-colored Psychic Power Spiritual Light. So, he said, "The Jiu Li Hidden Person can hide their heads and not come out, but does that mean they also tacitly admit to the fact that they indiscriminately killed the rice people?"

Li Weiyi walked out of the camp and said from afar, "Who indiscriminately killed the rice people? My brother Liu has never killed a single person indiscriminately. Sheng Wulian, you were defeated up there and are you unwilling to accept it? Do you want to be defeated again?"

Countless ears are listening at this moment.

Sheng Wulian was very sensitive to the word "defeat" and tried hard to maintain his composure. "Verbal disputes are meaningless. Only a life-or-death struggle can reveal true ability. Does the Hidden Person dare to step out of the formation and let us have a showdown?"

Li Weiyi stopped behind the array's Light Veil: "You've already condensed your Golden Core, while I've only just entered the Ninth Heaven. This life-or-death struggle is unfair to me, unless you give me a handicap."

Sheng Wulian knew Li Weiyi's strength well and was unwilling to fall for his trick. He praised her, saying, "The Hidden Person cultivates Dual Cultivation of Martial and Mental Arts and Psychic Power Attainment. His mental power is even more advanced than his martial arts. He is also proficient in the secret technique of combining martial arts and mental power. His combat strength is so great that he can be called my strongest opponent before I entered the Longevity Realm. I admire him very much and dare not yield to him."

Previously Li Weiyi's claim of defeating Sheng Wulian didn't cause much of a stir; everyone thought it was just a verbal dispute, much like how Sheng Wulian wrongly accused Li Weiyi of killing Huo Xin.

However, Sheng Wulian's flattering words made it difficult for the martial arts practitioners on all sides to remain calm.
