Transcendence Had Been Unearthed
Li Weiyi pondered for a moment, "If you accept the <Life North Sea Map>, you'll be locked in a life-or-death struggle with those two. If you Si Wuyan, you're not qualified to compete for the position of true successor."
The Purple-clothed Woman didn't press the matter. "Fine! The position of true disciple is always earned through one's own efforts. We'll fight for the Longevity Flower ourselves. What about the Six Desires Talisman?"
"As long as you two don't repay kindness with enmity, I will definitely remove the talisman from her. I'm not someone who likes to manipulate others in this way; I was only forced into it before," Li Weiyi said.
Wu Hongling met Li Weiyi's gaze and was genuinely convinced that these were his heartfelt words, which made her look at him with newfound respect.
The Purple-clothed Woman in purple cast a glance at Wu Hongling.
Wu Hongling took two steps forward, took the <Life North Sea Map> from Li Weiyi's hands, and hugged it to her chest. She stopped using telepathy and instead complained in a coquettish voice, "I want to fight for the true inheritance, but definitely not by using your hands. Look at the state you've left the Sheng True Disciple! I'm returning it to him right now."
Li Weiyi knew how to cooperate. "Hong Ling, don't do anything foolish. If you give it back to him, given his nature, he will surely repay kindness with enmity. You're putting yourself in danger."
Si Wuyan and Zhen Xin, along with a large number of the chief disciples of the Ninth Heaven of the Dao Palace, marched in a mighty force toward Li Weiyi and his two companions.
"Stop your hypocritical acting, you two! Just hand it over to the true successor! Wu Hongling and Purple-clothed Woman, don't ruin yourselves. You're not qualified to compete for the true successor." The voice of the Si Wuyan came from afar.
The Purple-clothed Woman, seemingly Si Wuyan, turned her gaze toward Li Weiyi.
"The Death True Disciple harbors such deep prejudice against Hong Ling, but what crime has Hong Ling committed? What did she do wrong? I truly wish to return the scroll to the Sheng True Disciple," Wu Hongling said.
Li Weiyi said, "I didn't do anything wrong! I was Sheng Wulian attacked by Sheng Wulian, who insisted on calling me Liu Fengshu and demanded a life-or-death duel. I know very well that Ancient Sect True Disciple cannot be killed, so I gambled with him on the scroll, and he agreed to it himself. Now I've won, and I didn't embezzle the scroll; on the contrary, I returned it to the Dao Palace. What crime have I committed?"
"You two are truly a match made in heaven!"
Si Wuyan, he laughed, unleashing his Dao Heart Manifestation, which caused darkness to continuously devour the light. He formed claws with both hands, his footwork unpredictable, and snatched the <Life North Sea Map> from Wu Hongling's hands. "Since you Zhen Xin wish to return it, then give it to me."
"We can't give it to him. Si Wuyan wants to refine it himself, thus achieving oneness with life and death."
From the spiritual realm between the Purple-clothed Woman's brows, a seven-foot-long ancient zither flew out.
"Whoosh!"
The Formation Script refined on the ancient zither, activated by spiritual light, appeared in mid-air, condensing into a seven-colored light screen that blocked the claw marks of the Si Wuyan.
In the blink of an eye, the three clashed.
Si Wuyan attacked fiercely, his Primordial Death Technique possessing astonishing destructive power, each move shattering the array of light and proving fatal. However, the Purple-clothed Woman and Wu Hongling were no ordinary opponents; their coordination was flawless. Although they appeared to be constantly retreating, they were actually handling the situation with ease.
This is no simple matter!
It's important to understand that before arriving at Nine Ring Reef, Si Wuyan or Sheng Wulian, with their combined physical strength, were far more powerful than any of the other Young Son of Heaven. It would take the two Young Son of Heaven working together to suppress one of them.
Only after everyone obtained opportunities and their physical bodies improved did this gap narrow somewhat.
As for their cultivation levels, they are both making progress; the Purple-clothed Woman and Wu Hongling have already cultivated to the Longevity Golden Pill.
Li Weiyi did not join the battle, but instead looked at Zhen Xin and the other martial artists from the Dao Palace: "The true lineage has Si Wuyan. Isn't that a bit too hasty? Gai Lingyun and Gai Canghai are so wise; they didn't get involved."
The group of chief disciples from the Ninth Heaven, including Dao Palace, hesitated.
The Purple-clothed Woman and Wu Hongling were too powerful; they actually managed to hold off Si Wuyan, far exceeding their expectations.
Zhen Xin and fearless, he scoffed, "You don't even dare to admit that you are Liu Fengshu. It seems that you have lost all your spirit after your ancestral field was shattered."
"I admit it, I am Liu Fengshu. What, you want revenge for your Huo Xin? Let me give you a piece of advice: break through to the Immortal Realm and come back later. With your current strength, you're just asking for humiliation," Li Weiyi said.
"Even if we bring shame upon ourselves, we must fight."
He Zhen Xin summoned the blue gourd, holding it in his palm, and released his magical energy. After taking three steps forward, he looked back and noticed that the Dao Palace experts who had come with him were all standing still.
One of them said, "There's not much point in taking action like this; I don't see any chance of winning. Revenge doesn't need to be rushed."
Zhen Xin remained unperturbed, nodding slightly in understanding. Her eyes were resolute, preparing to seize the opportunity when Li Weiyi was underestimating her opponent and use the extraordinary power within her ancestral field to kill him.
He turned his head, only to find that Li Weiyi had already disappeared.
After searching around, they discovered that Li Weiyi was heading towards the Yujia Abyss. A deep pain welled up in Zhen Xin's heart, realizing the immense gap between them.
If the other party had attacked just now, he probably wouldn't have had time to react before he fell down.
"Boom!"
At the edge of the entrance to the Yujia Abyss, crimson demonic runes burst forth with a blinding, eerie light.
The crimson light of the words spread for dozens of miles, like a blood mist.
After Si Wuyan, Wu Hongling, and the Purple-clothed Woman were engulfed in the blood mist, they immediately stopped fighting and headed towards the abyss with the other Dao Seed Realm Martial Cultivator.
Every time such an anomaly occurs in the Yujia Abyss, a large amount of Life Medicine, spirit crystals, and other treasures gush out.
This time it was even more dazzling than the previous times.
"Swish."
All the powerful figures in the Longevity Realm gathered near the Yujia Abyss.
The mirage-like light and mist emerged first, accompanied by the tri-colored radiance of the Longevity Flower.
The Longevity Flower that flew out were all incomplete. The flowers were torn apart by the Wind Force, turning into petals, which were wrapped in blue, gold, and red light.
"This time it was so intense; the Longevity Flower alone had nine petals."
"A great treasure is sure to be born!"
One after another, the magical energy of Great Longevity was released, intertwining above the Yujia Abyss. As previously agreed, petals of the Longevity Flower flew out, allowing the younger generation to seize them.
Their gaze remained fixed on the entrance to the abyss.
"Splash! Splash..."
Nine petals of the Longevity Flower, enveloped in nine clusters of light, surged toward the thousand-foot-high rocky dome.
Then, following the airflow, they flew in various directions.
Li Weiyi had already heard Second Phoenix say that she could smell the scent of the Longevity Flower, so she rushed over immediately.
He soared into the sky, unleashing Hong Ling that swept away two petals in succession. Then, he chased after the third petal.
Bai Yeqing, Prince Mingjiao, Princess Dengfeng, Chang Yujian, as well as Turtle Scholar, Gai Canghai, Gai Lingyun, and others, all rushed to a place very close to Yujia Abyss, their reaction only slightly slower than Li Weiyi's.
Bai Yeqing spread his wings, moving much faster than the others, and caught two petals in one go.
The Prince Mingjiao, Chang Yujian, and Princess Dengfeng each seized a piece.
Gai Canghai and Gai Lingyun joined forces and took the eighth piece.
Many more martial artists from the Ninth Heaven didn't even have the qualifications to participate in the competition; before they could even use their magical artifacts to collect the Longevity Flower, it already had an owner.
"Aww!"
The Prince Mingjiao transformed into his enormous Nether Dragon form, his body shrouded in thick, ink-like Nether Qi, and chased after Li Weiyi and the ninth Longevity Flower, his voice deep and resonant. "Your Excellency is too greedy. How many Longevity Flower have you already taken?"
Li Weiyi completely ignored the crowd chasing after her. With a flick of her wrist, she released Hong Ling that covered three miles, entangled and wrapped the rapidly flying petals.
"Whoosh!"
A beam of white light, radiating an icy chill, flew past Li Weiyi.
The figure in the white light moved so fast that even Li Weiyi felt inferior to it.
It is Bai Yeqing.
Bai Yeqing appeared to be very young, with delicate features and few words. His cold eyes met Li Weiyi's gaze for a moment before he flew straight towards the Longevity Flower. The white wings on his back contained unfathomable Demon Race scriptures.
Li Weiyi discovered that the Hong Ling that had spread for three miles was frozen by Bai Yeqing 'Ice Soul Eyes, turning into an ice pillar.
"Receive!"
Li Weiyi channeled his magical energy into the Hong Ling, shattering the ice inch by inch.
However, the speed at which the ice shattered was nowhere near Bai Yeqing's flying speed.
"Whoosh!"
Two flying swords shot through the air, slashing towards Bai Yeqing simultaneously.
They belong to Chang Yujian and Princess Dengfeng, respectively.
They flew towards the ninth Longevity Flower from two different directions and engaged in fierce combat with Bai Yeqing.
Li Weiyi sensed the Prince Mingjiao approaching from behind with overwhelming killing intent, and had no choice but to abandon the struggle for the ninth Longevity Flower, turn around to face the enemy, and circulate his magical energy throughout his body.
The Seven-clawed Fiery Heavenly Dragon released its fiery energy, like ten thousand dragons paying homage.
"Bang!"
With a single palm strike, he collided with the ten-foot-long dragon claw that the Prince Mingjiao had extended.
The Prince Mingjiao possessed formidable physical strength, thanks to the innate advantages of the Dragon Tribe. Furthermore, he had refined a petal of the crimson Longevity Flower, resulting in abundant blood energy within his body, which prevented him from being repelled by Li Weiyi's single palm strike.
Now, he is only one or two steps away from being Sheng Wulian and Si Wuyan.
"Bang! Bang!"
Li Weiyi and the Nether Prince Mingjiao in his python form exchanged three blows in succession, resulting in three energy ripples appearing in mid-air.
He caught up Zhen Xin, soaring into the sky, his eyes cold and filled with murderous intent.
Li Weiyi was genuinely wary of him, worried that he might have some Huo Xin trick up his sleeve, so he didn't linger in the fight and instead plummeted straight to the ground.
Anyway, I've already got two Longevity Flower, a considerable harvest.
"Boom!"
Li Weiyi landed on the ground, creating a large crater.
"Prince Mingjiao, the Three-eyed Flood Dragon was killed by him. I, the True Immortal, will help you kill him. We will each take a petal from the Longevity Flower."
On the ground, endless darkness surged forth.
Si Wuyan stood in the darkness, waving his Demon-Slaying Whip from afar. The whip flashed like lightning, striking Li Weiyi who was running away.
Prince Mingjiao could hardly believe that Ancient Sect True Disciple would actually offer to join forces with him to kill a martial artist below the Longevity Realm. Was this human truly that powerful?
The enormous serpentine body rapidly shrank amidst the dark clouds, transforming into a humanoid form with a body eight feet tall.
The Prince Mingjiao, clad in black armor and possessing a physique forged from divine iron, shot towards Li Weiyi like a demon god. "This blood feud must indeed be avenged."
Li Weiyi used his Spirit Treasure Seizing, to try and seize the Demon-Slaying Whip. However, the whip was not only fast but also unpredictable. Not only did he fail to seize it, but he was also nearly injured by it.
The sound of wind whistling through my ears filled the air.
Li Weiyi turned around and unleashed a "Overturning Sky Palm Seal," a massive phantom of a divine seal appearing and colliding with the palm force of the Prince Mingjiao's two palms.
"Bang!"
Li Weiyi took three steps back to dissipate the overwhelming force of the impact, the ground beneath his feet cracking continuously.
"Rustle!"
Behind them, the darkness stretched for dozens of miles, twisting into a spindle shape.
The Si Wuyan body, located at the top of the dark light shuttle, pointed a finger and struck towards Li Weiyi's skull.
Li Weiyi used one hand to block the Prince Mingjiao, and with the other hand, he pointed out with perfect precision, shattering the finger energy of the Si Wuyan.
The two fingertips collided, and instantly, waves of magical energy erupted outwards in layers.
"Boom!"
Two forces attacked from the left and right, one overwhelming and the other unstoppable, causing blood to spill from the corner of Li Weiyi's mouth.
The Prince Mingjiao and the Si Wuyan One continuously unleashed their magical energy and scriptures, giving Li Weiyi no chance to escape or use any secret techniques.
"Li Weiyi, you've returned the life of your Huo Xin!"
Zhen Xin descended from the sky, stepping on clouds, his muscles bulging, his magical energy driving the blue gourd, which crashed down violently.
Li Weiyi raised his head, his eyes flashing like lightning, and a talisman flew out from between his brows.
"Boom!"
The ground within a radius of a hundred miles collapsed, and cracks spread into the distance. All the martial artists in this area fell into the depths of the earth.
It certainly wasn't caused by a single, Zhen Xin strike.
Instead, atop a towering, rocky dome, a rusty Giant Sword slices through the East China Sea, piercing through thick layers of earth to reach the underground space.
The sword cut and rubbed against the thick strata of earth, producing a terrifying sound that pierced the eardrums.
The entire space was trembling.
After a large area of the underground space collapsed, a corner of a vast and desolate ancient city was revealed beneath.
As everyone plummeted into the air, they looked down and were all shocked to the point of shivering. Even the Longevity Realm Giants could only see a corner of the ancient city; the rest was shrouded in mist.
