Dongxu Camp Sentinel Lord

"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 Sacred Hall Life Realm is very complicated. The patriarch of the Ancient Years Clan and the Holy Master of the Holy Temple are both highly accomplished in cultivation, and the strength of the Three Great Billion Sects is not weak either."

"Furthermore, the Rainforest Realm faces immense survival pressure due to the revival of the ancient immortal dragon vein in the East Sea. Since it is the closest habitat to the Ancient Kingdom of the Years Ruin, it will become a target for a third-party force to join the fray."

"In terms of the number of Longevity Realm Martial Cultivator, Lingxiao Palace is currently far inferior to those two."

"Once the habitat is established, this period is crucial for us to gain a dominant position, even a ruling one. Otherwise, many troubles will inevitably follow."

Li Weiyi immediately saw through it. "Is the Great Palace Master worried that after the crisis is over, the Ancient Years Clan and the Three Great Billion Sects will turn against us? Is he worried that the Rainforest Realm, with its geographical advantage, will send large amounts of resources and people into the Ancient Kingdom of the Years Ruin, rapidly expand its territory, and then occupy various Netherworld Domains, mineral veins, fertile lands, Heaven Law Earth Spring, 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 difficult to share wealth."

Yu Yaozi continued, "I can suppress Chao Ran with my own cultivation, but I cannot suppress gossip, the overwhelming flood from below, or the pressure from all sides."

"Therefore, we must use methods to make them understand that they cannot function without Lingxiao Palace."

Li Weiyi's expression hardened. "Does the Great Palace Master intend to release the Departed Spirit Army into the Sacred Hall Life Realm? This is not a wise move, and it contradicts our original intention of establishing the Three Thousand Provinces Kingdom, expelling the Netherworld of the Departed, and restoring peace to the world. I do not agree with it. Methods are acceptable, but they cannot be without limits."

"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 Departed Spirit Army will inevitably invade, and a fierce battle is unavoidable. Even if our three forces go all out, it is still unknown whether we can stop them. If we can't stop them, everything will be over."

"Secondly, regarding the Ancient Kingdom of the Years Ruin, the Demon Kingdom has only been temporarily repelled, and Yu Baxian will not give up easily. The second battlefield of the Netherworld of the Departed should also be there, and they will definitely try to break through the Withered-Prosperous Belt."

"What we need to do is send Transcendence into the Ancient Kingdom of the Years Ruin."

"With the Withered-Prosperous Belt, a single Transcendent being is enough to block the Martial Path Son of Heaven. A single Transcendent being can also suppress the various factions within."

"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 Magic Tool and other treasures left over from 20,000 years ago, as well as to collect Emperor Medicine."

"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 create standard-issue guns and armor to equip millions of Five Seas soldiers, sweeping across the world."

"Have the Great Palace Master and the Mist Son of Heaven met?"

Yu Yaozi gently shook her head. "Let's not consider her for now! As for the construction of the Spatial Teleportation Array, Duke Taishi and the Third Palace Master can go in and complete a portion first, and I will try to finish the final depiction."

Li Weiyi was secretly disappointed, but then he understood Yu Yaozi's intention, realizing why the Crown Stored Son of Heaven would discuss such an important matter with a Longevity Realm Martial Cultivator like himself. Therefore, he said, "Since the Great Palace Master intends to use the Blood Mud Space to bring them in, then I must state my conditions."

Yu Yaozi said, "Alright, go ahead and speak."

Li Weiyi respected 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 the Years Ruin."

"Secondly, I should get a share of the resources that Chao Ran found, especially the Thousand-Year Elixir," Li Weiyi said.

Yu Yaozi rolled her eyes at him. "No matter what decision the Master Wu makes when he returns in the future, you will be the next master of the 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 Path Son of Heaven 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 Great Palace Master also pursuing the massive resources needed for cultivating to the Martial Path Son of Heaven realm on her path to realizing her ideals and ambitions? If we can break through this desolate realm where the Dongxu Ghost City is located, the resources we obtain will surely help the Great 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, Great 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 the Years Ruin!"

For the next period of time, Li Weiyi and Yu Yaozi traveled together, sending the Third Palace Master, the Duke Taishi, and a large number of martial arts masters from the Imperial Court into the Ancient Kingdom of the Years Ruin using the Heaven-grade Boundary Bag and the Earthly Grade Boundary Bag.

Before leaving, Yu Yaozi borrowed the "Bright Star Book" to dispel the darkness in the Ancient Kingdom of the Years Ruin and restore daylight, claiming that he would one day seize all the "Bright Star Book" held by the East Sea Rice Realm for him to study.

In short, it's just empty promises again.

However, the Great 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 Purifying Karma, "Glazed Pure Fire".

When Li Weiyi returned to the Sacred Hall Life Realm, a month had passed. Mo Duanfeng and Tang Wanzhou had already left, returning to the Sacred Dynasty and Dongxu Camp respectively.

Dongxu Camp Teleportation Hall.

"Whoosh!"

As the teleportation array lit up, Li Weiyi's figure appeared at the center of the array.

Yu He, who guarded the Teleportation Hall, glanced at him with an unprecedented look, and said in his cold tone, "Check the boundary bag, look into the Suspended Mirror, and leave a drop of blood. The Sentinel is waiting for you in the Camp Hall!"

"The chief sentry? Not the Deputy Sentinel Lord?"

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 towards the top of Mount Ling, where the Camp Hall 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 Camp Hall. Her respectful demeanor was tinged with admiration, clearly showing the gap between them.

It can be said that the treatment Gu Zhenxiang and Wenren Tinghai in Carefree Capital was exactly the same as what Li Weiyi Dongxu Camp.

After stating his identity and purpose, Li Weiyi, led by a Spiritual Pivot Group Members, met the Dongxu Camp sentry.

"Master Zhuang?"

Li Weiyi was very surprised.

Zhuang Shiyan stood beneath a row of purple wooden bookshelves, dressed in a white Daoist 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 resembling bamboo slips, he smiled and said, "Li Weiyi, we meet again! There are two sentry commanders in the Dongxu Camp, both selected by the Sentinel Commander to take turns guarding the area."

The Du'e Temple Immortal Master who presided over the Qianlong Lantern Festival in Qiuzhou City.

Li Weiyi quickly revealed an expression of understanding.

It should be noted that as early as the end of the Qianlong Lantern Festival, Coffin Master had said that he knew Zhuang Shiyan and affirmed Zhuang Shiyan's character.

On the way to Dongxu Camp, Old Qin had mentioned that Coffin Master and Sentinel were former teammates of the Sentinel Spirits.

While tidying the bookshelves, Zhuang Shiyan listened to Li Weiyi recount the detailed experience of his trials in the Ancient Kingdom of the Years Ruin, especially his actions against the Taiyin Sect.

The returning Lesser Yang Guard all gave their reports.

After listening, Zhuang Shiyan said, " With the Taiyin Envoy, the Lesser Yang 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 thrust into the limelight. If you use some means, you can suppress this attention. What do you choose?"

Both Yu Yaozi and Zhuang Shiyan prioritize safety, hence their similar questions.

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 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 spiritual practice.

"By the way, your master should be returning from the Corpse Sea of Rotting Marsh in a few months."

He was referring, of course, to the Coffin Master who went to the Corpse Sea of Rotting Marsh of corpses to mend his mangled 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 shocking tragedy occurred in the Immortal Mist Sect a hundred years ago. I have some questions in my mind. I wonder if you, Sentinel, could help me answer them?"

The tragedy at the Immortal Mist Sect was sealed off; it was a taboo topic that must 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 involvement.

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 everything is that the Immortal Mist Sect Master, who was also the previous generation's Sentinel of the Dongxu Camp, raised the Taixu Worm in Yan Jue Mountain and cultivated some kind of ancient forbidden curse. Moreover, the leader made a mistake in his cultivation and was controlled by the cursed monster, turning into a monster himself. May I ask, Sentinel, is the leader dead?" Li Weiyi asked.
