Chapter 328

A month later.

After Tang Wanzhou entered Li Youyi's Ancestral Field, she sat in mid-air and fell into a deathly silent state; no matter how he called out, she could not wake up.

Li Youyi tried to mobilize his magic power to drive her out of the Ancestral Field, but she was as steady as a rock and could not be shaken, as if she had grown inside it.

Thinking of her Longevity Realm cultivation and the previous terrifying backlash of her mental power, Li Youyi dared not use the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish, fearing it would stimulate her and cause an unpredictable power storm that would truly destroy his Ancestral Field.

He could only let her "live" inside.

Recently, Li Youyi had been thinking about why Tang Wanzhou had undergone such a change.

He seriously suspected that it might not be qi deviation, but that she had encountered something on the other side of the spatial teleportation array.

It wasn't until Tang Wanzhou remained silent in his Ancestral Field for a long time that a terrifying thought emerged, linking her to the Great Palace Master of the Lingxiao Palace who hadn't stepped out of her palace for many years.

Tang Wanzhou's state was exactly the same as that legendary Great Palace Master.

Both were once brilliant, wise, and had a demeanor that overshadowed all men in the world. Suddenly, their temperaments changed drastically, as if they had suffered qi deviation, becoming paranoid and extreme.

After the Great Palace Master changed, she encouraged the planting of Benevolent Rice and issued the Small Field Decree, throwing the world into chaos and causing public resentment.

At that time, it happened that the imperial court and the major million-level sects discovered that the Rice Cult's main altar was in Fuzhou. Because of the outbreak of war, the major human forces were busy fighting the imperial court and had no energy to deal with the Rice Cult.

When Li Youyi and Tang Wanzhou talked about this, he once guessed whether this war, which had lasted for more than a decade, might be related to the Rice Cult, in order to divert everyone's attention and let the human forces kill each other, so they could fish in troubled waters and complete the final harvest.

Tang Wanzhou, however, believed that the Rice Cult was not powerful enough to influence Yu Yaozi.

Now it seems there might be a connection; perhaps the whole world underestimated the power of the Twin Rice Cult.

Li Youyi felt conflicted. If this war, which had caused countless casualties, was truly pushed by the Rice Cult more than a decade ago with the intention of wiping out the humans in the Lingxiao Life Realm, what did it mean that he had now joined the Rice Cult?

If the "Yin Corpse Seed Dao" that Tang Wanzhou risked her life to investigate at the Rice Cult's main altar was real, the subsequent storms and slaughter would only be more cruel.

A woman could risk her life for the sake of the world's people.

And he, in order to survive and live in comfort, had become a member of the Rice Cult.

Whenever he thought of this, Li Youyi felt miserable and became confused about the path ahead. For the first time, he felt that the boundaries between right and wrong, good and evil, were so blurred.

There is wrong in right, and right in wrong.

There is evil in good, and good in evil.

Everything in the world seems to be a Taiji diagram; there is no absolute black, and no absolute white.

Unfortunately, the spatial teleportation array had been destroyed, and there was no way to go to the other side to investigate and verify his suspicions.

Perhaps he could only wait for Tang Wanzhou to truly wake up to know the truth. Li Youyi actually admired her very much and had an unusual trust in her ability and strength, believing she could definitely break free from the illusion and find herself.

Because even just after waking up from the teleportation array, she could quickly regain her reason and was not completely controlled by madness and negative emotions.

On a wide road about three or four miles from the South Clear Palace, a magnificent procession of carriages was heading toward the Heavenly Principle Palace.

There were seven carriages in total, some pulled by exotic beasts, others by soul-devouring beasts. A large number of beast-headed, human-bodied demon martial cultivators followed behind the carriages, releasing rolling magic power and demon clouds.

"How could demon martial cultivators appear at the Divine Cult's main altar?" Qi Xiao looked into the distance, extremely surprised.

Tuoba Butuo said: "The carriage at the very front has a terrifying aura; the person coming must be a big shot of the demon race."

Li Youyi said: "Tuoba, go and find out."

"Alright!"

Tuoba Butuo had broken through to the fourth layer of the Dao Seed Realm, and combined with the fact that they had severely injured Sikong Jingyuan and Sikong Yanlun earlier, their strength had shocked the entire Divine Cult. Now, he and Qi Xiao could walk freely in the main altar, and no one dared to provoke them easily.

On the contrary, every day, inner disciples, core disciples, and true disciples came to seek refuge, wanting to follow the fourth Divine Son.

Li Youyi had no intention of developing power in the Twin Rice Cult, and his heart was in a state of extreme contradiction, so he naturally rejected them all.

In short, the battle at the Nether Flower Black Swamp, although difficult, had won the respect and awe of the Divine Cult's younger generation of disciples, and they had firmly established themselves at the main altar.

More than an hour later, Tuoba Butuo returned with a cold face: "You wouldn't dream of who I saw."

Qi Xiao said: "There aren't many demon cultivators we know. It couldn't be someone from the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival, right?"

Tuoba Butuo looked at Li Youyi: "Luan Sheng Lin You is touring the Divine Cult's main altar, and at this moment, accompanied by the second Divine Son, Huang Xu, has gone to the Divine Prison. Young powerhouses like Long Ting and Chen Wenwu, who are now famous throughout the world, are following by his side."

The second Divine Son "Huang Xu" and "Kong Xu" were rumored to be descendants of Transcendents, practicing Void Engraving, with cultivation only second to the head of the Divine Sons.

The third Divine Lady, named Li Niang, was very mysterious, and there was very little information about her.

Qi Xiao was stunned: "It really is him. Have the demon race and the Divine Cult repaired their conflict?"

The conflict between the two major forces naturally referred to Qilin Zhuang breaking open the Underground Immortal Mansion, dragging the hidden Twin Rice Cult into the water, and using this to tie down a large number of human experts in the Underground Immortal Mansion and Fuzhou. Only then could the demon race fight back and forth under the conquest of the major human forces.

"Something big is going to happen! The person coming is definitely not just Luan Sheng Lin You; there must be a supreme demon powerhouse accompanying him."

Li Youyi keenly sensed the atmosphere of an impending storm and added: "Tuoba, continue to inquire; I want to know the purpose of Luan Sheng Lin You going to the Divine Prison."

Tuoba Butuo said: "I have already sent people from the Sixth Divine Lady's mansion to inquire! I'm afraid... after I meet them, I won't be able to help but strike."

At the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival, the Snow Sword Tang Ting was almost wiped out by the cultivators led by Luan Sheng Lin You, and he was the only one from the Tuoba clan who survived.

Tuoba Butuo had always remembered this blood feud.

Qi Xiao laughed: "You say, two years have passed, what is Luan Sheng Lin You's cultivation realm now?"

Tuoba Butuo said: "At the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival, before Brother Youyi appeared, I once thought that Luan Sheng Lin You could be mentioned in the same breath as the Young Master from more than a decade ago, as an unsurpassable young emperor. Even without a dragon seed, such a person's cultivation speed would be terrifying."

"With the blessing of a dragon seed, and being the grandson of a flying dragon, his understanding and compatibility with the dragon seed exceed everyone else's. I dare not imagine how strong Luan Sheng Lin You has become now."

Li Youyi nodded slightly: "A year ago, I fought Long Ting. His cultivation realm was ahead of Tuoba and Yang Qingxi, and Luan Sheng Lin You will only be stronger. Therefore, Tuoba, you must control your hatred; there is no need to fight him to the death. You must know that the old guys of the major human forces are probably all wanting his life; his days are not as glorious as they appear on the surface."

Before long, news came from the Sixth Divine Lady's mansion: "Luan Sheng Lin You took thirty people from the Divine Prison, all of whom are Dao Seed Realm experts under the imperial court."

Over the past two years, countless martial cultivators had broken into the Underground Immortal Mansion to seek opportunities.

The Underground Immortal Mansion was most attractive to martial cultivators with inferior Dao Seeds, all feeling that they could find the secret to breaking through to Longevity.

These martial cultivators from all over the world were ambushed by the Twin Rice Cult, and all those captured were imprisoned in the Divine Prison.

Yao Qingxuan returned to the South Clear Palace, her state clearly different from her previous calm and wisdom; even Li Youyi could see the emotions on her, her eyes full of gravity, struggle, distress, and contemplation.

Li Youyi did not ask and stood quietly to the side, waiting.

After a long while, Yao Qingxuan finally withdrew all ripples and regained her coldness: "The fluctuations of the Golden Rice are becoming more and more intense; it should ripen in the last two days. What are your plans for the next step?"

"Listening to the Master's meaning, you don't want me to continue staying in the South Clear Palace," Li Youyi said.

Yao Qingxuan looked at him, as if she had seen through him long ago: "If it weren't for the connection of the Golden Rice, you would have wanted to leave the South Clear Palace long ago, right? Staying with me, don't you feel restricted?"

Li Youyi gasped, pondering whether the secrets on him had long been perceived by her.

Staying in the South Clear Palace, entering the Blood Mud space, or practicing with the Time Cocoon was indeed cautious, and he couldn't let go at all. Tang Wanzhou in the Ancestral Field was even more like a time bomb.

If he could leave, it would naturally be for the best.

Yao Qingxuan quickly moved her gaze away from his face: "Today, a Transcendent from the demon race came to the main altar. Do you know why?"

Li Youyi said: "A demon Transcendent entering the main altar, the Divine Cult could never cover his five senses. From now on, the location of the Divine Cult's main altar's entrance will no longer be a secret."

"In other words, the Divine Cult is about to officially appear in the world!"

"The moment it appears, something earth-shattering will surely happen, thereby clearing away threats in one fell swoop and changing the pattern of the Lingxiao Life Realm."

"I heard that the leader of the demon race's younger generation, Luan Sheng Lin You, went to the Divine Prison and took away thirty Dao Seed Realm prisoners under the imperial court. The disciple dares to guess that the Rice Cult and the demon race are about to attack Lingxiao City, destroy the imperial court, and let the human race completely become a scattered mess."

"In this way, even if the main altar is exposed, no one can threaten us."

A flash of surprise crossed Yao Qingxuan's eyes; she did not expect Li Youyi to be able to analyze the general direction of the next situation with limited information.

She said: "I have seen Luan Sheng Lin You; he is a genius, with talent and wisdom that are peerless, and no one in the Divine Cult's younger generation is his opponent. You, if your Ancestral Field hadn't been abolished, should be able to compete with him. Have you reached the second layer of the Dao Seed Realm?"

Li Youyi smiled bitterly: "Master, I have only been seeding the Dao in the Wind Palace for two months."

Yao Qingxuan said: "After Luan Sheng Lin You seeded the Dao, he had palpitations for two months and stepped into the second layer. Another half a year of Dao birth, and he entered the third layer."

"He is the grandson of a flying dragon, and his understanding of the dragon seed is unmatched in the world. Let alone a half-crippled person like me, even the ten people who went to the Dueguan to practice might not be able to catch up to him."
