The Third Palace Master and the Third Palace Master's Male Favorite

Ge Xiantong wore a jade crown, had delicate features, and wore a gentle smile that made people feel extremely comfortable.

"Who's your junior brother? Don't call me that."

Li Weiyi let out a soft exclamation, then asked in surprise, "Old Ge, you've broken through to the Immortal Realm? Your cultivation speed is so heaven-defying!"

Ge Xiantong's smile vanished, replaced by a feeling of being slapped hard by Li Weiyi: "You've already reached the third realm, and you won't allow me to break through and achieve immortality? I've also cultivated in the Netherworld for ten years, okay? I have the Sun-Moon Twin Pupils, and I've even cultivated the <Kongming Jue>."

Zen Sea Observing Mist once examined Ge Xiantong's Sun-Moon Twin Pupils.

That Moon Eye is the Other Shore Heavenly Pill of the Saint Infant.

The Saint Infant's cultivation was extremely powerful; Yu Yaozi at her peak couldn't kill it. The value of its Other Shore Heavenly Pill was unimaginable; its help to cultivation was priceless, far surpassing a few clusters of Dragon Soul Origin Light.

According to Zen Sea Observing Mist, Ge Xiantong's Sun Eyes have an even greater origin than Moon Eyes.

He is the true successor of Yu Yaozi's Dao Law Successor.

"Impressive! Your cultivation speed is almost catching up with Tang Wanzhou! She was only slightly younger than you when she reached the Longevity Realm."

Li Weiyi Zhen Xin admired him, after all, his current level was the result of years of arduous cultivation within the Time Cocoon.

Ge Xiantong stood with his hands behind his back and gently shook his head. "Compared to her, you are far inferior. She doesn't have the dragon seed or the Six-clawed Immortal Dragon Qi, nor does she have the Sun-Moon Twin Pupils. However, you two shouldn't be too smug. After reaching the Longevity Realm, I have already broken the multiple seals on the Saint Infant's Other Shore Heavenly Pill, and with the blessing of the Netherworld, if you slack off and doze off, don't blame me for surpassing you in the future."

Li Weiyi smiled sincerely, "It would be best if you could catch up, as it would add another exciting chapter to my martial arts journey."

Ge Xiantong gave him a deep look. "Li Weiyi, you have a unique charm! Knowing the secret of my Sun-Moon Twin Pupils, I feel no suspicion whatsoever, as if I'll never have to worry about being plotted against by you. But you, you're obsessed with money! I almost killed you once."

"If you, Ge Xiantong, can pay back the money for the noodle shop, how could I be a petty person? Of course, if you feel guilty, I would gladly accept even one of your eyes," Li Weiyi said.

"Come on, I'll introduce you to a few people."

Ge Xiantong carried Li Weiyi down the city wall, leaping one after the other, heading towards the place where the Imperial Court's Longevity Realm Martial Cultivator cultivators were in seclusion.

On the way, Ge Xiantong asked, "Did Master tell you about the Hundred Realms Longevity Crossing?"

"Now that the Sacred Hall Life Realm is facing a life-or-death crisis, the Great Palace Master probably has no time to concern himself with such trivial matters. Do you think you can participate in time?" Li Weiyi didn't believe that Ge Xiantong could continue cultivating in the Netherworld.

Ge Xiantong said, "I'm certain that Master has some grand plan. Because she issued a decree long ago, sparing no expense or resources to cultivate Longevity Realm Martial Cultivator. Anyone who makes it onto the <Longevity Earth Ranking> will be richly rewarded, and she promises to Feng Prefecture in the future."

Li Weiyi appeared deep in thought.

The struggle for Hundred Realms Longevity Crossing is a means for the various realms within the Hundred Realms Life Domain to resolve conflicts and disputes. Even the realms of the Chaos Zone generally do not participate. At most, they may be invited to lend a hand.

Just like the invitation Mo Duanfeng extended to Li Weiyi.

Yu Yaozi's decree is indeed puzzling; one cannot know what her intentions are.

Through Ge Xiantong's introduction, Li Weiyi met the three strongest masters in the Lingxiao Palace within the last hundred years: Si Qi, Liang Xianyu, and Huo Zheng.

The Longevity Realm Martial Cultivator of the Lingxiao Palace are definitely of high quality.

Because at that time, the Imperial Court could obtain a continuous supply of Longevity Pill, and they would not be like Li Songgu, Zuoqiu Ling, and Yao Qingxuan, who were stuck at the Ninth Heaven of the Dao Seed Realm for many years and could only break through by their own strength.

After introducing them one by one, Ge Xiantong secretly added via telepathy, "Si Qi was the Third Palace Master, Liang Xianyu is a disciple of Duke Taishi, Huo Zheng a war god in the army."

Li Weiyi observed them secretly and could tell from the aura emanating from them that they were all at the third realm of cultivation.

If one reaches this level within the age of one hundred, there is almost no doubt that one will be listed on the "Longevity Earth Ranking".

All three of them were cultivating in the Netherworld, indicating that they wanted to continue their ascent.

After exchanging pleasantries, a discussion is inevitable.

Li Weiyi also wanted to see the level of the Imperial Court's top experts, so he and Si Qi, the strongest of the three, left the building area and came to an open area with Defensive Formation.

Si Qi's appearance was handsome, but he showed no weakness whatsoever. He released seven Thousand Character Artifact weapon swords from his ancestral field, which flew around his body.

He said, "Brother Li is an Ancient Sect True Disciple, and I am well aware of the gap between us. My Seven Profound Sword Formation combines swordsmanship and formation, and was personally instructed by the Third Palace Master. I will only use one sword strike, so be careful!"

The magical energy surged forth, transforming into a cloud that enveloped the seven swords.

"Splash! Splash..."

Three thousand five hundred Formation Script appeared on the seven Thousand Character Artifact weapon swords, forming a circular Formation Disk, which turned out to be a top-grade Low-grade Spirit Formation.

As Si Qi activated his battle sword, he also activated the formation. The combination of the two unleashed a surging and terrifying power, which even caught Li Weiyi's eye.

Amidst the resounding clang of swords, the power of the seven swords converged and slashed towards Li Weiyi.

Li Weiyi didn't go to catch it; instead, he moved sideways and appeared several feet away.

"Boom!"

The ground shook, and a deep sword-shaped groove appeared in the formation area.

"Swish!"

Si Qi sheathed his seven swords, his brow furrowed. "May I ask why Brother Li didn't take this sword strike? I absolutely do not believe you couldn't withstand it."

Li Weiyi nodded secretly. To be favored by the Third Palace Master and to become the number one person in the Imperial Court within a hundred years, he was indeed not an arrogant person.

So he patiently explained, "Actually, Mr. Si's sword strike is very powerful, stronger than many Taiyin Envoy and Lesser Yang Guard at the Peak Third Realm. But its weakness is obvious. In actual combat, who would deliberately try to receive your sword strike? They would avoid your edge first, and wait until your magical energy is severely depleted from activating the Seven Swords and the formation before delivering a fatal blow."

Si Qi was clearly aware of the sword formation's weaknesses and did not argue. "From now on, just call me Si Qi! In martial arts cultivation, those who have reached a high level of expertise come first."

"That's right, there's no need to be so polite. Just call me Huo Zheng, Brother Zheng, or A-Zheng." Huo Zheng was tall and had dozens of scales on his chest and back.

According to his own account, he drank the blood of Ancient Immortal Giant Beast from a young age, and also drank the blood of flying dragons and the Ancient Immortal Dragon Skeleton.

He did not become Deformed Race; he only underwent a slight mutation.

Li Weiyi was not one to feign modesty, so he said, "Actually, the three of you could cultivate a Combined Battle Tactic. Xianyu is a third-realm Saint Mind Master, proficient in formations; Zheng Ge's strength and physical defense are extraordinary; plus Si Qi's sword formation. If you coordinate skillfully, I don't think even Son of Heaven's Disciple of the Emperor's Sect at the same realm would have much of a chance against you."

The Lingxiao Palace's magical artifact halls are located on a nearby mountaintop.

The Third Palace Master stood gracefully outside the hall, gazing at the five people in the array formation below the mountain. Her melodious, smiling voice carried on the wind, "You don't need to bring this up. I've already tailored a Combined Battle Formation specifically for them. Li Weiyi, come see me."

Li Weiyi glanced at Ge Xiantong and Si Qi.

"The Third Palace Master only summoned you, so hurry up and go. Something good must be happening." Ge Xiantong smiled.

Another group of martial arts practitioners were alerted by Li Weiyi's arrival in Chun City and witnessed the earlier clash.

He was Xiao Yu, a true disciple of the Qingxu Sect, one of the Three Great Billion Sects of the Sacred Hall Life Realm. He had sparred with Mo Duanfeng, forcing Mo Duanfeng to use the first strike of the Duanfeng Seven Slashes before defeating him.

He is the second strongest being in the Sacred Hall Life Realm, after Nangong.

It should be noted that Xu Daoqing, Lesser Yang Guard of the same cultivation level, was defeated by Mo Duanfeng without even having to draw his sword. This demonstrates just how high Xiao Yu's skill level is.

Behind Xiao Yu, a female martial artist at the third realm of the Qingxu Sect chuckled, "I know Si Qi's combat strength; he's no match for Senior Disciple Brother. The fact that Li Weiyi didn't dare to take his sword strike shows that rumors always tend to exaggerate. He's been flattered to death by those people!"

"Even if he catches that sword, so what? Senior Disciple Brother is already at the Fourth Realm, while he is still a long way from reaching the Fourth Realm," another Qingxu Sect disciple said.

Xiao Yu said, "The Great Palace Master's Dao Law Successor is not just a name without substance. The Strongest Sword Strike of the Si Qi Formation is no ordinary move; even I, at the same cultivation level, can only dodge it."

Xiao Yu abandoned his thoughts of testing the waters and making connections, and Longevity Realm Martial Cultivator the Qingxu Sect, "Everyone, continue your seclusion and cultivation. Every bit of improvement in your cultivation is valuable. Although the Sacred Hall Life Realm doesn't participate in the Hundred Realms Conflict, many powerful forces will offer exorbitant sums to invite us to help. We can take this opportunity to propose our terms and ask them to send troops to rescue the Sacred Hall Life Realm."

"Our Senior Disciple Brother is right. We should do our part in our own way."

The Qilin Platform Hall of the Lingxiao Palace was moved from Lingxiao City. With its carved railings and jade steps, and golden stone flooring, every beam and pillar is extremely luxurious. Under the moonlight of the years, its splendor is dazzling, showing an unparalleled majestic aura.

The Third Palace Master, dressed in a colorful gown with a skirt like phoenix feathers, her hair tied up in a high bun, and her skin as smooth as jade, walked ahead, leaving behind a trail of intoxicating fragrance. She led Li Weiyi into the palace and then dismissed all the servants inside.

This Third Palace Master did not possess the imposing presence of a powerful figure, nor was she cold and serious; instead, she exuded youthful vivacity and eccentricity.

But Li Weiyi tensed up and was about to speak.

The Third Palace Master sat on the spacious phoenix chair, her delicate body leaning back, a gentle smile playing on her lips, her bright eyes filled with a hint of smoke. She spoke first, "What's there to be nervous about? I'll just ask you a few questions. I'm very curious, since Ge Xiantong is clearly Senior Sister's Dao Law Successor, why did she choose to use that identity to protect you? Senior Sister isn't an easy person to get along with, so what exactly is your relationship?"

Li Weiyi met her bright, beautiful eyes. He sensed that this Third Palace Master had misunderstood something. Did she think he was Yu Yaozi's male favorite?

"Actually, it's because I was by her side taking care of her when Great Palace Master was in trouble."

Li Weiyi answered truthfully, not wanting to be pressed on this topic any further, and immediately added, "I heard that after the Mist Son of Heaven slaughtered a large number of the deceased souls under Lord Lan's command, the Third Palace Master used them to refine the Transcendent Soul Essence? Si Qi consumed quite a bit of it."

"Liang Xianyu said he was using the Psychic Power Stars of the Saint Spirit King Mind Master. Huo Zheng said he eats transcendent flesh and blood every day, which contains the Law Secret Energy that have not been lost, and he can't possibly finish it all, so his cultivation is improving every moment."

"Third Palace Master, actually my relationship with the Mist Son of Heaven is better than that with the Great Palace Master. She killed so many transcendent beings, she will definitely share some with me."

As a major contributor to the Battle of Lingxiao City, Li Weiyi was certainly qualified to speak up. It should be noted that the Azure Phoenix, Purple Luan, Mountain Lord Huìhuò, Four Extremes Ape King, and other Demon Race were all extraordinary, top-tier powerhouses among demon kings, and had just fallen, possessing abundant secret abilities and vigorous blood energy.

By eating their flesh and drinking their marrow, Ge Xiantong could cultivate a Longevity Body.

Li Weiyi treasured the flesh and blood of the Six-Colored Peacock and Luo Pingdan's rooster. Looking back now, it seems incredibly stingy.

Having a batch of top-tier transcendent flesh and blood to take back and share with the martial artists of the Jiu Li Tribe would be a very prestigious thing.
