Hundred Realms Life Domain

The Years Realm was not shrouded in the aura of the underworld.

Given the severity of Nangong's injuries, it would be impossible for him to recover within three days.

However, Li Weiyi could tell at a glance that Nangong's injuries had healed, and some guesses immediately arose in his mind. Within the Years Realm, there are likely time anomaly areas left behind by the Years Ruin Empress, similar to the Netherworld.

Time is precious.

The Kingdom of Time once wielded the power of time, and with the Great Spring and the Netherworld Spirit coexisting, it was bound to disrupt the balance of power in Southern Yingzhou. How could this not bring about annihilation?

Nangong wore a moon-white ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) made of a material similar to silk, her skin as white as mutton fat radiating a bright glow, her hair adorned with a green hairpin, and she exuded a pleasant fragrance. She was half a head taller than Qing Ziqin, with all her height extending to her legs.

Compared to three days ago when she was severely injured and her physical and mental weaknesses were fully exposed, at this moment, her eyes were restrained, her true nature was completely hidden, and she had lost her fragility and gained a mysterious and powerful aura.

Nangong sat down opposite Li Weiyi, quite a distance away, gazing at him, unsure how to begin, remaining silent for a long time.

Ultimately, the two were complete strangers and knew nothing about each other.

Li Weiyi took the initiative to break the awkward atmosphere and asked with a smile, "Given Xiaowei's current state, could he possibly contend with Jingzhen in a one-on-one situation?"

Nangong Shuangmei, her slender eyebrows like willow leaves, pondered slightly, "The Bright Spring Eye and its spells still have a certain suppressive effect on the Taixu Race. Fighting them is definitely not a problem, but victory is hard to say. Environment, magical artifacts, combat wisdom, and mental state are all crucial."

"Li Weiyi, this life-or-death ordeal has finally made me see my own mental weaknesses."

"In life-or-death situations, under immense pressure, I also panic, lose my rational judgment, and become dominated by fear. I used to think I was strong-willed and exceptionally intelligent, but now it seems I overestimated myself!"

Li Weiyi knew she was experiencing self-doubt, so she said, "A person's physical condition will definitely affect their mental state. A weak body cannot have a strong will."

"You mean, I'm like this because I was seriously injured? But even when you were seriously injured, you were still able to deal with powerhouses like Chu Yutian and Chi Yuan?" Nangong said.

Li Weiyi didn't know how to answer her, so she asked in return, "Don't you think you've grown up?"

A captivating smile finally appeared in Nangong's eyes, "Yes, with this experience, I will be more composed when facing similar difficulties in the future. Is this the meaning of life-and-death trials? Only under danger and pressure can one truly see their weaknesses and grow."

Li Weiyi asked, "Would you like to drink?"

"You can have a little." She nodded gently.

Li Weiyi raised her glass. "This glass is a toast to growth."

"Good!"

Nangong held the cup with both hands and drank it all in one gulp.

After setting down his wine glass, Li Weiyi asked curiously, "What exactly is the name of the Valiant Guard? I think, given our camaraderie and shared life-and-death experiences, we should know, right?"

After hesitating for a long time, Nangong said softly, "My name doesn't sound good. Just call me Nangong, or Xiaobai. Don't call me Xiaowei anymore. Once the trial in the Ruins of Time is over, I, Xiaowei, will definitely have to step down and hand over my position to a more capable person."

Li Weiyi became even more curious. "Your name is given by your parents, whether it sounds good or not is not your responsibility. What is your name?"

Nangong met his gaze, then looked away again. "Nangong Cabbage."

A long silence followed.

"You should still call yourself Nangong!"

Li Weiyi picked up her chopsticks, took a bite of food, and finally couldn't help but ask, "What was your father thinking? The most beautiful woman in the Sacred Hall Life Realm, and he gave her such a name? Have you ever thought about changing her name?"

"My father is gone!" Nangong said.

Li Weiyi now understood why she hadn't changed her name. He raised his glass and said, "My name is quite strange too. This toast is to our names."

Nangong raised his cup and drank again, then poured himself a third cup. "No matter what, Seventh Uncle-Grandfather did indeed have murderous intent that day, and I must apologize."

Li Weiyi raised his glass high. "Shall we toast Seventh Uncle-Grandfather with this glass?"

Nangong was amused by him, but was afraid he would spill the wine in his cup on the ground and lose his composure and dignity. "Can you be serious for once? Seventh Uncle-Grandfather is still alive! Let's turn hostility into friendship, let's make the Ancient Years Clan and Lingxiao Palace allies, and let's become friends who can entrust our lives to each other."

After three drinks, the awkward atmosphere dissipated, the distance between them shortened considerably, and the two began to discuss their next course of action.

"How long will it take you to break through to the Fourth Realm?" Li Weiyi suddenly asked.

With the Spatial Teleportation Array of the Years Realm, and not fearing significant loss of lifespan, how could Nangong not break through to the Fourth Realm?

Nangong said, "I only reached the Peak Third Realm after coming to the Ancient Kingdom of the Years Ruin. It has taken me two years to even vaguely see the White Tiger Lock, and it will take much more time to see it clearly. There is no hope of breaking the fourth Longevity Lock, the White Tiger Lock, within five years."

The third Longevity Lock is the Azure Dragon Lock, located on both arms.

The fourth Longevity Lock is the White Tiger Lock, located on both legs.

Breaking free from the White Tiger Lock greatly increases speed and makes it easier to master Evasion Dao Technique, significantly enhancing survival capabilities.

The Universe Lock is located near the spine, the Soul Return Lock in the soul, and the limbs are then opened.

Only when the cultivator has no obvious flaws can he be called "Great Longevity".

Huo Tingye, while at the Peak Third Realm, wasn't considered exceptional. However, he had just entered the Great Longevity Realm, and even with Li Weiyi and Nangong joining forces, he sent them flying with a single blow, demonstrating a significant difference in strength.

Li Weiyi asked, "What if there are five Chun Silkworm?"

"I only have a 20-30% chance of breaking through, but I will do everything in my power to try," Nangong said.

The following day, Li Weiyi and Nangong left the Years Realm through the World Barrier Gate below Chun Abyss and appeared above the Abyss Cliff.

The surroundings were shrouded in a hazy mist, and the sounds of battle could be faintly heard in the distance.

"Whoosh!"

The Great Elder of the Ancient Years Clan, residing near Chun Abyss, appeared with an aged and thin figure and a gaunt face.

He remained hidden from view.

With Li Weiyi's current perception, he only sensed the Great Elder approaching within ten steps and actively making footsteps.

This is the strength of an old monster in the Seventh Realm!

Despite Seventh Elder Nangong Ao's obsequious and apologetic demeanor, Li Weiyi might not have been able to escape four days ago, even if he had captured Nangong Ao as a hostage, without Yu Yaozi as his backer.

"Greetings, Great Elder."

"Greetings, Great Elder."

Nangong and Li Weiyi bowed together.

The Great Elder gently raised his hand, his expression stern, and went straight to the point. "The Departed Spirit Army and the experts of the Demon Kingdom have both entered Chunze. It seems they have a good understanding and have temporarily joined forces!"

This was within Li Weiyi's expectations; Chu Yutian and the Demon Kingdom wanted to force out the Great Longevity Ancient Years Clan.

As long as the Great Longevity Ancient Years Clan takes action, they can immediately report to the border, allowing the higher-ups of their respective factions to make the decision themselves.

In the past, Li Weiyi had always faced situations where she had to find secrets and investigate them thoroughly. But this time, she had to do everything she could to keep the secret.

"How long can Chunze's natural barrier hold them off?" Li Weiyi asked.

The Great Elder said, "Neither Chu Yutian the Son of Heaven's Disciple of the Demon Kingdom's Emperor have shown themselves, clearly indicating that they are also wary in the face of life and death. The scouts are not particularly powerful, but they should be able to hold out for several months without any problem."

Li Weiyi inquired about the situation of various forces, including Lesser Yang Division, Du'e Temple, Dao Palace, and the Demon Race, before taking his leave and heading towards the edge of Chunze with Nangong.

The light and mist are gradually fading, and the passage of time can now be seen through the gaps in the clouds.

Ahead, a long line of malevolent spirits, rotting corpses, and withered bones stretched out and continued to advance.

There were Departed Spirit Marquis hidden in the rear, wielding magical artifacts and manipulating them to scout ahead. From within the undead procession, low growls echoed.

"I need to go back to the Lesser Yang Division's refuge." Li Weiyi looked at Nangong. Although he was now starting a business with the Great Palace Master and pursuing the world he longed for, he still cared about the people of the Lesser Yang Division.

Four days have passed, while more than a month has passed in the underworld, enough time for a great deal of things to happen.

"I'll stay behind and hold them off."

Nangong took out a talisman and handed it to Li Weiyi: "Purifying Fire Talisman crafted by Great Saint Mind Master! We must buy time now and minimize our exposure..."

"Understood! I won't use it unless absolutely necessary."

Li Weiyi, of course, wouldn't stand on ceremony. Knowing she must have obtained quite a few Battle Treasure, he took them and put them into his pocket.

Nangong was buying time for the Ancient Years Clan of Time to migrate and deploy defenses, while Li Weiyi was buying time for Yu Yaozi to take action on her side.

To preserve the Ancient Years Clan and to conquer the Ancient Kingdom of the Years Ruin, she and the clan leader of the Ancient Years Clan have many things to do. They need to talk to the Martial Path Son of Heaven and the Lords of the Various Life Realms to gain their support, and they also need to defeat the armies of the Demon Kingdom and the Netherworld of the Departed.

At their level, they must consider the overall situation in Southern Yingzhou.

The Hundred Realms Life Domain is a vast land with hundreds of habitats connected together, including six large habitats and fifty-eight medium-sized habitats. It is the most prosperous central area in the Southern Yingzhou.

Kingdoms and ancient religions rule the universe, countless sects and Mega-clan Myriad Gate Families are scattered throughout the world. Transcendent kings and dukes are enfeoffed, and the Lord of Life Realm rule over their respective territories.

Here, there are power struggles and pursuits of fame and fortune at the top, as well as insidious killings and corruption hidden in the shadows.

The Demon Kingdom, located at the southern end of the Living Realm, is one of the six large living habitats.

Canghai Dao Realm is located in the southeastern part of the ecosystem.

The entire living realm is shrouded in the territory of the Demon Race and the Netherworld of the Departed, with different dangers in every direction. The severe problem of survival is facing every human being.

The "Sacred Hall Life Realm" where the Ancient Years Clan resides, the "Du'e Realm" where the Du'e Temple Calamity Temple is located, and the "Chi Ming Realm" where the Dongxu Camp is located are not within the Hundred Realms Life Domain. They are situated in the Chaos Zone further south than the Demon Kingdom, belonging to the borderlands.

The Lingxiao Shengjing, Rainforest Realm, and East Sea are far from the Hundred Realms Life Domain, separated by a large area of Netherworld of the Departed, and are considered desolate and barren lands.

The Sacred Dynasty is one of the six large habitats.

The Sacred Son of Heaven is the strongest human in the Southern Yingzhou.

At noon, the patriarch of the Ancient Years Clan and Liu Tianchen, the Deputy Sentinel Lord of the Dongxu Camp, appeared before the magnificent and imposing gates of the Great Sacred Palace, which resembled a heavenly gate. Even with their cultivation levels, they presented their name cards and awaited their summons.

The patriarch of the Ancient Years Clan presented a Treasure Box containing a high-grade Emperor Medicine.
