Three Thousand Years Old Yet His Azure Cloud Ambition Had Not Fallen

Li Weiyi and Li Ling walked along the crystal-clear Lingquan River to the mouth of the valley.

Li Songgu had already extinguished his spiritual flames; only the firewood pile beneath the cauldron was still crackling and popping.

The colorful broth in the pot is thick and bubbling, its aroma of meat irresistible, making one's mouth water.

Yao Qingxuan, who had been wandering around Chun City all day, seemed to have timed it perfectly. As soon as the lid of the cauldron was opened, she rushed back, stepping on the magical mist.

"The first piece was given to the Hidden Person. He was the one who went to the Third Palace Master; otherwise, none of us would have gotten any," Li Songgu said.

The demon king's meat was served one by one, without any seasoning. Li Weiyi was already so hungry that he wanted to swallow his tongue. After shouting "Let's eat!", he took out his dagger and started cutting it.

Eating was something he considered one of the most important things besides cultivation.

Li Songgu sat in the main seat, very refined, maintaining the dignity of a family head. After reciting a poem, he took a bite and nodded in satisfaction, exclaiming, "This meat is strong, good stuff!"

"It's just a bit old."

Li Ling's face puffed up like a steamed bun as she lowered her head and chewed repeatedly.

Li Songgu and said, "Having lived for sixteen hundred years, how could I not age?"

"Who says this meat is tough? This meat is amazing!" Li Weiyi Zhen Xin felt that the meat of the Four Extremes Ape King was chewy and tasted absolutely delicious. Moreover, eating the flesh and blood of the Demon King could enhance the strength of one's physical body.

With increased physical strength, one can withstand greater strain when breaking through the Longevity Lock.

"Whoosh!"

Nangong's white-clad figure landed at the valley entrance, and a melodious voice rang out. "Holy Master, the Great Palace Master is waiting for you at the Ancestral Mountain of the Ancient Years Clan, and requests that you go there immediately."

The Jiu Li Tribe members were all moved and looked at them with great envy.

Even powerful figures like the Third Palace Master and the Great Palace Master are difficult for the Transcendent to meet, yet the Hidden Person has been summoned repeatedly. Such a prominent figure, in the past Lingxiao Shengjing, would have required even the governor to bow respectfully before him.

"Would you like to try a bite of the Demon King's flesh?" Li Weiyi shouted, extending a warm invitation.

Nangong didn't go over. "No need! The Great Palace Master said it's urgent."

Li Weiyi put down his bowl, chopsticks, and dagger. He was just about to ask Yu Yaozi about the uses of the Five-Colored Mountain. He instructed Hidden Twenty-Four to put a jar of demon king meat and meat soup in a food box, and then he and Nangong hurried away.

"Such a powerful aura, I wonder what its origin is?"

Li Songgu was shocked because he couldn't see Nangong's face clearly, which was shrouded in the holy light.

Upon arriving in Chun City, he had already encountered several such unfathomable powerhouses, and each of them was quite young.

"It's the Great Longevity, most likely the Holy Maiden of the Ancient Years Clan that those Longevity Sacred Hall Life Realm in the Longevity Realm Martial Cultivator were talking about. I'm done eating!" Yao Qingxuan's eyes were deep and unfathomable. He got up and walked into the valley, his competitive spirit completely aroused.

Arriving in Chun City, she experienced far greater shocks Li Songgu.

The Ancestral Mountain of the Ancient Years Clan.

Li Weiyi entered the hall alone and met with Yu Yaozi.

It was late at night, and the lights were on full display.

The hall was very quiet.

Yu Yaozi stood alone in the center of the hall, her black hair flowing and her face as beautiful as a painting. She was deep in thought. The murderous aura that had formed on her body from killing the Bone Spirit Transcendent during the day still lingered, making her look powerful and like an empress who could destroy the world with a mere gesture.

I heard footsteps.

Yu Yaozi glanced sideways at Li Weiyi, who was carrying a food box, and seeing his cheerful demeanor, said, "Your good days are almost over. Cherish the ease and comfort you have now!"

"Is the Great Palace Master referring to the Hundred Realms Longevity Crossing?"

Li Weiyi placed the food box on the spirit table in the center of the hall, opened the lid, took out a bowl and spoon, cut the ape meat, and ladled out soup, which was steaming hot in the bowl.

Yu Yaozi seemed unaccustomed to a junior being so relaxed in front of her. She shifted her gaze to the moonlit mountains outside the window. "Whether it's Lingxiao Palace, the Ancient Kingdom of the Years Ruin, or the Sacred Hall Life Realm, they don't actually need to participate in this battle. However, the number of powerful figures gathering in the Netherworld of the Departed is increasing, and the Departed Spirit Army is rushing in from all directions like a tide every day. Yu Baxian is determined to obtain the Spring of Life, and he is willing to make enemies of the world to force the Ancient Years Clan to submit."

"Yu Baxian was aware of the existence of the Spring of Life long ago and was quite certain that it was in the hands of the Ancient Years Clan."

"The reason he didn't descend in his true form and directly attack the Ancient Years Clan is because his blood energy is severely depleted. In his current state, he might be able to survive for several decades. But if he were to attack once, he might only be able to live for a few years, or even worse. If he were to break through the Ancient Years Clan but fail to find the Fountain of Life, there would be no second chance. In short, he couldn't afford to gamble with that one in ten thousand chance."

"A stalemate? That's true. For either side, retreating would be catastrophic. The Departed Spirit Army is happy to see the human race hindering each other. Once they take the Sacred Hall Life Realm, they can sweep across the entire Hundred Realms Life Domain overwhelming force. Facing the terrifying Yu Baxian, there's no way they'll back down. Haven't eaten in a while, have you? Have something to eat to ease the pressure." Li Weiyi invited Yu'er.

Yu Yaozi was naturally not Yu'er. She glanced at the two bowls of meat soup on the table, and some scenes from her memories surfaced in her mind.

Finally, restraining herself, she said, "You eat. This palace mistress can absorb the Heaven and Earth Mana Qi and the essence of the sun and moon to nourish herself."

Li Weiyi didn't insist, and started eating on his own, listening to Yu Yaozi continue her story.

After listening, Li Weiyi fell into thought, and said very seriously, "Is the Great Palace Master putting his Life Spring on me? To be honest, in a one-on-one fight, Ninth Generation Longevity Person, I fear no one."

"But the number of immortals in the Demon Kingdom is definitely not small. For the sake of the Life Spring, they will fight ten against one, dozens against one, and even form battle formations, using poison, curses, and forbidden techniques—they will stop at nothing. Yu Baxian will definitely promise them the most generous rewards, but he will also issue the most terrible punishments."

"This is not something one person can do. Even Great Longevity at the Sixth Realm or Seventh Realm would probably have to back down."

Li Weiyi was not blindly confident; he knew that every Changsheng person was extraordinary.

Yu Yaozi said, "In reality, the situation is more than ten times more dangerous than you described. Because you will be facing all sorts of conspiracies and schemes. Yu Baxian dared to agree, so he must be absolutely certain of success. Moreover, it's not just about the Ninth Generation Longevity Person. I've deduced that the Demon Kingdom has the ability to use the situation to force you to the opposite side of the Eighth Generation Longevity Person or even the Seventh Generation Longevity Person."

Li Weiyi did not believe that Yu Yaozi was exaggerating. After all, this conflict had lasted for three years, and once the Demon Kingdom realized that something was wrong, it would use many methods.

By mentioning this point beforehand, Yu Yaozi gave him the opportunity to withdraw.

"Are you scared? You fight this battle for me, and I'll fight one for you in the future. If we win, we'll celebrate together; if we lose, we'll shoulder the burden together." In the candlelight, her exquisitely beautiful face flickered between light and shadow, as she pondered far beyond.

Li Weiyi put down his spoon. "The Great Palace Master stands in a position far higher than I am now, and can see very far. May Great Palace Master ask why you are so certain that you will help me fight a battle in the future? There must be a reason."

"Speaking out now will definitely change the situation. You just need to remember that in this three-year conflict, our goal is not just the Ancient Kingdom of the Years Ruin, the Sacred Hall Life Realm, or the Rainforest Realm. You have your battles, and I have my own level of combat," Yu Yaozi said.

Li Weiyi said, "I have only one last question: Will Yu Baxian go back on his word three years from now?"

"Definitely! But as long as he swears an oath to the Human Emperor to kill him together, do you think the Master Wu and I won't kill him? Do you think the Human Emperor doesn't want to quickly control the chaos in the Demon Kingdom, lest it be taken advantage of by the Netherworld of the Departed? From our perspective, we need a convincing reason to act. Otherwise, it will be like back then, with the Human Emperor collectively stopping the Master Wu from pursuing Yu Baxian. This time, they won't, and they might even help us share the spoils. Yu Baxian must understand this too, so he can only win," Yu Yaozi said.

"I understand. Right now, defeating the Departed Spirit Army is more important than anything else."

Li Weiyi said, "Very well! The Great Palace Master is three thousand years old and still has the ambition to rise to the top. How can I be cowardly and retreat, losing the fighting spirit of a young man?"

Yu Yaozi's stunningly beautiful face, as if sculpted from ice, revealed a captivating smile, "I forgot to tell you, besides the Life Spring, there's also the Fountain of Life."

"Yu Baxian's offer was that as long as the Ancient Years Clan offered the Spring of Life as a wager, the Demon Kingdom would not only immediately release reinforcements from Various Life Realms, but would also dispatch a large number of Transcendent and Longevity Realm Martial Cultivator to participate in the war, regardless of the outcome three years later."

"Furthermore, the Demon Kingdom will also offer the Scepter of the Years Ruin Empress as a bargaining chip. This item can mobilize the primal power of time and was lost in the battle twenty thousand years ago."

"The clan leader has agreed! In the last hundred years, the Ancient Years Clan has used the Netherworld to cultivate a large number of Longevity Realm Martial Cultivator, and they are full of confidence."

Li Weiyi nodded slightly, already able to imagine how fierce this battle would be. "I have a question in my mind, I wonder if the Great Palace Master can help me answer it."

"Speak, is it a problem with your cultivation?" Yu Yaozi asked.

Li Weiyi shook her head, asking curiously, "How many male consorts does the Third Palace Master actually have? Others may not know, but you certainly do."

Yu Yaozi's Ancient Well calm eyes paused for a moment, then her snow-white cheeks flushed slightly, and she looked at him coldly. "You're only at the Longevity Realm, and you've only lived for a few decades. How many confidantes do you already have? What does that have to do with you? Don't mention this matter again."

Li Weiyi, together with Yu Yaozi, who was as graceful as a fairy, left Ancestral Mountain and appeared in a desolate plain three thousand miles away, where there was no one for hundreds of miles around.

"Boom!"

The Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish flickered, releasing spatial ripples. The Five-Colored Mountain flew out of the Blood Mud Space and crashed heavily to the ground.

Subsequently, Li Weiyi mobilized the magical energy within his body and channeled it into the Five-Colored Mountain.

Time ticked by, second by second.

"Whoosh!"

The Five Elements Power in the universe is constantly converging upon us.

Weeds grew wildly on the ground, moisture condensed into rain, the Five-Colored Mountain emitted a metallic luster, and a layer of firelight appeared, the surrounding world changing colors.

Li Weiyi took three steps back and let out a soft exclamation. "It wasn't like this in the Blood Mud Space. After activating it, there was no such change."

Yu Yaozi seemed to have thought of something extremely shocking, "There's only one possibility: the Blood Mud Space isn't within the Five Elements. That's unbelievable. Even immortals can't escape the Five Elements."
