Three Days, a Chance for You
Li Yunjing's eyes turned cold.
Who dares to use their power to intimidate his people on the Luozhen Sect Sect's territory?
"Snort."
A soft hum came from Li Yunjing's nose.
The sound wasn't loud, but it resounded like thunder in the hall.
An even more vast and profound pressure slowly rose from Li Yunjing's body, like the descent of the Heavenly Dao, instantly crushing Wei Xiao's pressure.
Moreover, the oppressive aura, carrying a faint aura of the Dao Realm Origin, pressed down on Wei Xiao, causing his entire body to stiffen, as if he were being watched by the entire world, unable to even move a finger.
"Well..."
Wei Xiao's expression changed drastically, his eyes filled with disbelief.
The Middle Void Refinement Stage!
Li Yunjing was actually at the Middle Void Refinement Stage!
According to the information he gathered before setting off, Li Yunjing was only at the Early Void Refinement.
How long has it been? He's already broken through to the mid-stage? And how can his aura be so terrifying? It even carries the pressure of the Dao Realm Origin?
"Wei Xiao." Li Yunjing sat on the throne, looking at him calmly, his tone indifferent, "This is the Luozhen Sect, not your Primordial Beginning Valley. If you want to show off your power, go back to your own territory."
"You..." Wei Xiao was both shocked and furious, but he couldn't move.
He could sense that if he dared to move even slightly, the other party's oppressive aura would immediately intensify.
Li Yunjing ignored him and slowly said, "You just said that the Primordial Beginning Dao Sect wants to open a sixth state?"
Wei Xiao gritted his teeth, and Li Yunjing withdrew his oppressive aura.
He gasped for breath, his heart filled with surprise and doubt, yet he still maintained his arrogance. "That's right! Opening up the sixth state is a long-established plan of our sect. What, Sect Leader Li, do you find it surprising?"
"It is indeed a bit unexpected," Li Yunjing said calmly. "I didn't expect that your sect's thoughts would coincide with mine."
"Huh?" Wei Xiao was taken aback.
"I have been planning the establishment of the sixth state for many days now," Li Yunjing said calmly, yet with an undeniable weight. "The territorial planning, the direction of the earth's veins, and the distribution of Spirit Vein are all in place. Construction will begin soon to activate the earth's veins and shape the sixth state."
"What did you say?!"
Wei Xiao's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed in shock, "You also want to build a sixth state? Impossible! Do you even know what Jianzhou is? Do you know how to activate the earth's veins and shape mountains and rivers? This is utterly a fantasy!"
In his view, Jianzhou was such a grand undertaking that only an High Antiquity lineage like their Primordial Beginning Dao Sect had the qualifications and ability to accomplish it.
How could a sect that rose from the lower realms possibly possess such abilities?
Before Li Yunjing could speak, Northern Dark True Spirit stepped forward and coldly looked at Wei Xiao: "He doesn't understand, but do you?"
Wei Xiao then noticed the black-robed youth standing to the side.
He had assumed he was an elder of the Luozhen Sect and hadn't paid him any attention.
Upon closer inspection, his pupils constricted, and a storm of emotions surged within him.
"The Ancestral Vein True Spirit?!"
He cried out, his voice trembling.
As an elder of High Antiquity sect, he naturally recognized the aura of the Ancestral Vein True Spirit.
Those are beings formed from the very essence of the earth's veins, the darlings of the Dao Realm.
But wasn't the Ancestral Vein True Spirit supposed to be dormant? How could it appear in the Luozhen Sect, and even stand beside Li Yunjing?
Northern Dark True Spirit sneered, "It seems you're not too foolish after all. With me here, activating the earth's veins and shaping the mountains and rivers is just a piece of cake. But your Primordial Beginning Dao Sect, after sealing it for so many years, dares to disregard even the Ancestral Vein True Spirit?"
Wei Xiao's face turned pale and then red, his heart filled with extreme shock.
No wonder Li Yunjing dared to say he wanted to Jianzhou; it turns out he had the help of his Ancestral Vein True Spirit!
But the more this happened, the deeper his murderous intent and fear became.
The establishment of Jianzhou is crucial to the future status of the Primordial Beginning Dao Sect and its ability to control the destiny of the Dao Realm.
They had thought they were the only force capable of Jianzhou, but they never expected that the Luozhen Sect would also take this step, even getting there first and having already made plans.
No! We absolutely cannot let them succeed!
The Sixth State must be controlled by the Primordial Beginning Dao Sect!
Wei Xiao's mind raced, but he maintained a composed facade, sneering, "So what if you have Ancestral Vein True Spirit? Is Jianzhou a child's play? Activating the earth's veins, building cities, migrating people, establishing order... which of these doesn't require massive resources and foundation? Your Luozhen Sect, a tiny place, can it support the construction of an entire province?"
"Our Primordial Beginning Dao Sect possesses High Antiquity heritage, with Cultivation Method, elixirs, Law Treasure, and formations—everything you could want. Furthermore, we have a vast population reserve. After Jianzhou, we can quickly stabilize the territory and get it back on track. Following us is the right path."
He looked at Li Yunjing, his tone softening slightly, but still carrying a hint of condescension. "Sect Leader Li, I'm giving you one more chance. If you lead your sect to surrender, you'll share in the credit for Jianzhou. But if you remain obstinate and insist on trying to stop the tide by fighting my Primordial Beginning Dao Sect for control of Jianzhou, you won't be able to bear the consequences."
The threat was palpable.
The elders inside the hall were furious.
This is outrageous!
Do you really think my Luozhen Sect is afraid of you?
"If you want to seize control of Jianzhou, first ask the sword in our hands if it will allow it!"
Li Yunjing raised his hand, suppressing the crowd's anger.
He looked at Wei Xiao and said slowly, "The matter of Jianzhou concerns the Dao Realm Origin, not the private affairs of any one family or clan. Whoever has the ability should take charge, and whoever can make the Dao Realm better should take the lead."
"If your sect wishes to establish Jianzhou, you are free to do so. My Luozhen Sect will establish my Luozhen Sect Luozhen Province. We will not interfere with each other. As for the matter of seeking refuge, let's not mention it again."
"You!" Wei Xiao hadn't expected Li Yunjing to be so assertive, showing no respect whatsoever. "Li Yunjing, don't push your luck! The foundation of my Primordial Beginning Dao Sect is beyond your imagination! If things really come to a head, Luozhen Sect can't afford it!"
"Whether you can bear it or not, you'll only know after you try." Li Yunjing's tone was calm, but his eyes turned cold. "The territory of the Luozhen Sect does not welcome those who threaten me. Wei Xiao, I've said my piece, please leave."
Li Yunjing directly ordered them to leave.
"Fine! Very well!" Wei Xiao's face turned pale with anger. He pointed at Li Yunjing and said sternly, "Li Yunjing, you will regret your decision today! My Primordial Beginning Dao Sect's grand plan to Jianzhou will not tolerate any obstruction! Within three days, I await your Luozhen Sect's reply. If you still don't understand after three days, don't blame my sect for being impolite!"
Goodbye!
Wei Xiao flicked his sleeves, took the young disciple, and angrily turned and left.
As he reached the palace gate, he paused, turned back, and gave a cold, gloomy look.
Wei Xiao and his companion disappeared outside the hall, but the atmosphere inside remained heavy.
"This is outrageous! They're utterly arrogant!" Ding Qifeng was furious, his beard bristling and eyes wide. "They're already this arrogant since they were born, do they really think they're the ruler of the Dao Realm?"
"Sect Leader, they clearly intend to seize control of Jianzhou and thus control the destiny of the Sixth State," Mo Xuan said in a deep voice. "Judging from this, if we don't agree to submit in three days, they might really make their move."
Gu Lin said in a gruff voice, "Let's make a move then! My Luozhen Sect is not to be trifled with! With the mountain-protecting formation, the sect leader, and the Northern Dark True Spirit here, if they dare to come, we'll make sure they don't leave alive!"
The crowd erupted in a cacophony of voices, their emotions running high.
Li Yunjing sat on the throne, his fingers lightly tapping the armrest, remaining silent.
He knew in his heart that things were not that simple.
The Primordial Beginning Dao Sect dares to be so arrogant; it must have something to rely on.
With an High Antiquity heritage and profound foundation, no one knows how many trump cards they have hidden.
