Yu Yaozi's Proposal

The Demon Kingdom is located in the southern part of the Hundred Realms Life Domain.

Beyond the Demon Kingdom, continuing south, lies a Chaos Zone where living and gloomy environments intertwine, like sunlight filtering through branches and leaves, creating shadows and dappled patterns on the ground.

The Chaos Zone is a battlefield left over from the calamity a thousand years ago. The human race, rice people, and other creatures from the Hundred Realms Life Domain have blocked the dead and darkness here.

This Chaos Zone contains more than a dozen habitats, the largest of which, the "Du'e Realm," is the first medium-sized habitat under the six large habitats and is where the Du'e Temple is located.

The influence of the Du'e Temple reaches all habitats in the Chaos Zone.

In these habitats, from the royal court and countless Mega-clan to the chivalrous warriors and soldiers, the shadow of the Temple of Du'e Temple can be found in almost every source of martial arts.

The exception is the Sacred Hall Life Realm.

The Sacred Hall Life Realm is located in the southwestern corner of the Demon Kingdom and the territory of the Du'e Temple, separated from the Southern Wilderness of the Demon Kingdom by a vast, secluded realm. For thousands of years, this narrow, secluded realm, spanning thousands of miles, has been protected by Formation Great Wall built along the contours of mountains and rivers to prevent the return of the Departed Spirit Army.

This is the high wall in the southern Hundred Realms Life Domain, and also the training ground for the Demon Kingdom's army.

Six months ago, light was restored to this place.

The demon army crossed the Formation Great Wall, chariots and giant beasts marching side by side, banners obscuring the sky, horns blaring, as they surged toward the border of the Sacred Hall Life Realm, their killing intent coalescing into dark, ominous Ethereal Clouds.

At the summit of a precipitous mountain ridge where the Formation Great Wall is located, sits a formidable human fortress built of massive stones. From here, one can simultaneously gaze upon the mountains of the Sacred Hall Life Realm and the southern barren desert of the Demon Kingdom.

A heated argument was breaking out inside the main hall.

"Bang! Bang!"

Liu Tianchen slammed his hand on the table and said in a deep voice, "The Departed Spirit Army and the darkness of the Netherworld have already devoured the four states of the Sacred Hall Life Realm, leaving hundreds of Mega-clan either dead, wounded, or displaced. Now, even more powerful undead are gathering here in droves, and their next step is to directly attack the heartland of the Sacred Hall Life Realm."

"Once the entire Sacred Hall Life Realm falls, the Demon Kingdom will be next. With your internal strife and chaos, can you really hold the Formation Great Wall?"

"Without the Sacred Hall Life Realm acting as a thorn in your side outside the Great Wall, how many times more pressure would you have to endure?"

A Lord of Life Realm said, "Once the Departed Spirit Army crosses the Formation Great Wall, they will be able to overlook the entire Hundred Realms Life Domain."

The Holy Dynasty's Grand Minister Zuo Tianqing pondered for a moment, then said solemnly, "The Netherworld of the Dead is actually a disorganized mess, constantly embroiled in conflict. However, if they were to conquer the Holy Temple's Realm of Life, taste its benefits, and quickly gain power, it would be a catastrophe."

"We must defeat them before they gain momentum, or we will regret it," another Lord of Life Realm said.

The three demon ministers of the Demon Kingdom gathered in the hall, remaining calm and composed in the face of verbal attacks from the lords of Various Life Realms.

The patriarch of the Ancient Years Clan struck the ground heavily with his jade cane and said in a deep voice, "Yu Baxian is trying to drag everyone into the abyss and make them perish with him, even though his own lifespan is about to end."

Monk Qu Qiao, one of the three demonic figures, was a bald Old Man covered in demonic markings, with narrow eyes and an eerie, sinister aura. "Clan leader had better show some respect to the Devil Lord, or you'll definitely be on the list of those who die with him."

These words seemed to send a chill through the hall, calming everyone down considerably.

A Martial Path Son of Heaven whose lifespan is nearing its end will no longer be bound by any rules or regulations in the world.

He will become more terrifying than any other living being, and nothing he does will be surprising.

Nine-Tenths Dragon, the leader of the three great demonic beings, is a Deformed Race Martial Cultivator who follows the path of dragon transformation.

"Nine-Tenths Dragon" is the respectful title given to him by all demonic cultivators in the world, simply because he is only one point away from successfully transforming into a dragon.

Now, the Nine-Tenths Dragon has been able to condense a normal human body and appearance, which undoubtedly means that it is about to complete its dragon transformation and become the Martial Path Son of Heaven.

A man who had lived with the appearance of Deformed Race for thousands of years was finally able to regain a normal appearance, and naturally had an extreme pursuit of his appearance. He had a majestic physique, strong and well-proportioned muscles, a youthful face with distinct features, and clear lines in his eyebrows and eyes.

"The Devil Lord's conditions are not excessive at all. As long as the Ancient Years Clan hands over the Spring of Life, we will immediately withdraw our troops and allow the armies of Various Life Realms to pass through the Demon Kingdom to come and support us." Nine-Tenths Dragon said slowly, his aura overwhelming him as he pressed down on the patriarch of the Ancient Years Clan.

The patriarch of the Ancient Years Clan was no three-year-old child. He knew Yu Baxian's desire for the Ancient Kingdom of the Years Ruin. If he succeeded in extending Yu Baxian's life, Yu Baxian would only become more ruthless.

Therefore, he said, "I've said it many times, there is no Spring of Life. It may have existed during the time of the Empress, but everything was plundered in the war 20,000 years ago. Yu Baxian wants to find the Spring of Life, he must ask Emperor Ji, the Dongxu Ghost Emperor, and Feifeng."

"Then there's nothing we can do but wait for the Sacred Hall Life Realm to turn into the Dark Realm of the Netherworld. The Devil Lord just happens to need billions of blood essence and soul food." Nine-Tenths Dragon was not afraid of the furious gazes of the patriarch of the Ancient Years Clan and the Three Great Billion Sects masters of the Sacred Hall Life Realm.

There is a huge gap even among the most outstanding and transcendent.

Outside the palace, Yu Yaozi came from the distant void. "If you want the Spring of Life, what can the Demon Kingdom offer?"

"Whoosh!"

A stunningly beautiful figure appeared before the palace gate, casting a long shadow as she drew nearer. Her aura was extraordinary; she tossed out a transcendent bone.

The heavy, transcendent bone skull smashed into the hall with a series of loud cracks, spreading fissures.

Nine-Tenths Dragon looked at the figure outside the door. "As long as the Ancient Kingdom of the Years Ruin provides the Spring of Life, and the Demon Kingdom sends troops to help, joining forces with the world to fight against the Departed Spirit Army, it's something that can be discussed."

Upon hearing this, a hint of hesitation appeared in the eyes of the patriarch of the Ancient Years Clan.

Compared to the life and death of an entire clan and a habitat, the Spring of Life could be given away. But the fear is that if the Demon Kingdom's army is summoned, it will be impossible to send it away again.

What I fear even more is their insatiable greed.

Yu Yaozi entered the hall, her footsteps heavy as thunder, her killing intent still intense. "The Spring of Life is nowhere to be found, but the Life Spring is in my hands, and the Life Spring can also prolong life."

The gazes of the three Demon Ministers of the Demon Kingdom all fell upon her.

How could Yu Baxian not want to take the Life Spring?

However, Yu Yaozi is not so easy to control, and the Zen Sea Observing Mist is nowhere to be found.

Yu Yaozi stood in the center of the hall, her eyes like cold stars, her whole body shrouded in a shimmering, iridescent light. "I have a suggestion. The three of you should convey this message to Yu Baxian."

"My Lingxiao Palace will participate in the Hundred Realms Longevity Crossing as the ruler of the Ancient Kingdom of the Years Ruin, and the stake I'm offering is the Life Spring."

"The conditions are that the Demon Kingdom immediately retreats behind the Formation Great Wall and makes way for reinforcements from Various Life Realms. For a thousand years, it shall not again set its sights on the Ancient Kingdom of the Years Ruin and the Sacred Hall Life Realm. Furthermore, it swears that if it breaks its promise, the Human Emperor will join forces to kill it."

Whether or not you can obtain the Life Spring depends on the abilities of the younger generation of your Demon Kingdom.

Zuo Tianqing revealed a strange expression; Yu Yaozi's move had indeed achieved multiple goals at once.

If this can force the Demon Kingdom to withdraw its troops and save the Sacred Hall Life Realm, then Lingxiao Palace becoming the ruler of the Ancient Kingdom of the Years Ruin will no longer be seen as taking advantage of someone's misfortune, but rather as providing timely assistance.

If the Ancient Years Clan and the Three Great Billion Sects turn against us after the war ends, they will be ungrateful.

The only thing that puzzled Zuo Tianqing was that the Demon Kingdom's strength among the younger generation was ten times that of the Lingxiao Palace and the Sacred Hall Life Realm. What was the difference between using the Life Spring as a stake and giving it away for free?

Yu Yaozi's conditions weren't particularly demanding, and Zuo Tianqing couldn't imagine that Yu Baxian would refuse.

The three demon ministers were overjoyed, not expecting such a breakthrough from this meeting.

Nine-Tenths Dragon remained calm, pondering Yu Yaozi's intentions, and asked, "If the Demon Kingdom seizes the Life Spring Book of Life Spring during the Hundred Realms Longevity Crossing, but you go back on your word, what should be done?"

"This Palace Master will naturally also swear an oath to the Human Emperors to kill them together! Besides, this is a grand gathering hosted by the Martial Path Son of Heaven to quell the conflict, who would dare to mock them?" Yu Yaozi said.

"It seems you have complete confidence in the younger generation of the Ancient Years Clan."

Nine-Tenths Dragon speculated that over the past century, the Ancient Years Clan had used resources such as the Ancient Kingdom of the Years Ruin to cultivate a large number of young experts, which gave Yu Yaozi confidence and made her dare to gamble so heavily.

Without further thought, he released his thoughts and sent someone to relay the message back to Carefree Capital as quickly as possible.

Before long, Yu Baxian's message returned to the Formation Great Wall. He did not fully agree with Yu Yaozi's conditions and ideas, seeing through her ambition to subdue the Sacred Hall Life Realm. Instead, he gave the Ancient Years Clan a very attractive proposal.

He wants both the Life Spring and the Fountain of Life.

The vast land centered on Chun City has been completely restored to its former glory and transformed into a living environment.

Yu Yaozi only has one page of the <Bright Star Book>. After activating it several times, its radiance dissipated completely, and it needs to absorb the radiance of the sun, moon, and stars to accumulate again, which will take a long time.

More than half a year later, Li Weiyi returned to Chun City and led the Jiu Li Tribe out of Chunze, finally breaking the seal on their senses.

"My God, is that the passage of time? How could it have fallen to the ground?"

"Its radiance is very special; meditating and absorbing it will definitely transform Psychic Power Spiritual Light."

"Is that the Netherworld the Hidden Person spoke of? The entire world is shrouded in a pale blue mist."

Everyone is observing this new and exciting world; some are delighted, while others are filled with anticipation.

Yao Qingxuan transformed into a stream of light and rushed straight into the Netherworld. Then, he stopped under the tree and carefully sensed the changes in the inner and outer worlds.

"Whoosh!"

Xing Yenu's figure sped along the waterway that separated the east and west cities. She looked at Li Weiyi and the Jiu Li Tribe with surprise, suppressing her joy, and asked, "Is the Jiu Li Tribe also going to migrate to the Ancient Kingdom of the Years Ruin?"

"No, just these people. You are the Third Palace Master's disciple, so you will arrange their accommodations," Li Weiyi said.

"Alright, leave it to me."

Xing Yenu was originally a reclusive elder of the Jiu Li Tribe.

After exchanging words with Li Songgu for a moment, she led the way, bringing dozens of people from the Jiu Li Tribe into the Netherworld.

Only half a year had passed outside, but several years had passed inside the underworld.

Li Weiyi secretly observed the changes in Chun City. Construction was in full swing, and the city was beginning to take shape. Various resources were being brought over through teleportation arrays or transported from the Rainforest Realm to the city.

The land along the lake and river outside the city has been completely reclaimed, stretching out in one continuous stretch, and has been sown and harvested for several seasons.

Standing on the city wall and gazing at the vibrant world before him, the bustling crowds, and the lively market, Li Weiyi felt a surge of joy as he recalled the darkness and desolation of just over half a year ago.

This joy stems from a love of life and the pleasure derived from participating in creation.

The true meaning of cultivation is not for fighting, killing, or destruction, but for life and creation, and for the exploration and pursuit of the pinnacle of martial arts.

This process was naturally incredibly tortuous and difficult.

"Junior brother, what are you looking at?"

Ge Xiantong appeared behind Li Weiyi like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy who would never grow up.
