Mysterious mirror hanging high

Ying Ba felt a surge of anger in his heart. The boy in front of him was far inferior to him in terms of magical powers and combat power. He could easily crush him to death, but this boy had become the only cultivator in the entire Xianzhou world who could travel through the void, and he had no way to deal with him.

He was actually captured by a mere Spiritual Transformation Body Refiner...

No, when it comes to Qi training, this person is only at the Nascent Soul stage!

Ying Ba gritted his teeth: "What do you want to talk about?"

"I know you want to unify Xianzhou."

Jing Yu said calmly, "When Divine Intensification cultivators fight, they can easily disrupt and drain the spiritual energy of an entire land, severing the earth and water veins... The damage to the Immortal Continent is truly enormous."

"No matter which side wins, neither wants to take over a shattered Xianzhou Realm. Therefore... Divine Intensification cultivators are not allowed to take action. How about we reduce the intensity of the war to the Nascent Soul level?"

Ying Ba sneered, "It's just that we can't win at the Spiritual Transformation level. Why bother looking for these high-sounding excuses?"

"Whatever you say." Jing Yu said indifferently.

"What if I don't agree?"

Jing Yu grinned: "Then I will kill the entire Shending Immortal Dynasty by myself!"

"Until there are no more Divine Cauldron monks in this world."

Ying Ba clenched his fists, almost on the verge of losing control, but in the end he took a deep breath:

"The number of Nascent Soul cultivators among the Divine Cauldron cultivators is far less than that of the current Taoist sects. This is unfair."

"That's fine." Jing Yu smiled and said, "We can have a truce for a hundred years... If a hundred years isn't enough, two or three hundred years will also be fine."

"With the various methods of the Immortal Realm, a hundred years should be enough to cultivate a large number of Nascent Soul cultivators, right?"

Ying Ba clenched his fists and unclenched them again, repeating this process dozens of times before finally revealing his white teeth.

"Alright...both sides are prohibited from deploying any Divine Transformation-level combatants! Furthermore, we will hold a 100-year truce, after which each side will rely on their own abilities!"

He deliberately emphasized the four words "Spiritual Transformation Level", naturally implying that Jing Yu was in the Nascent Soul stage, who had refined his body but transformed into a spirit first and was not allowed to participate in the battle.

"It's a deal?"

"A word is settled!"

Jing Yu nodded and said with a smile: "In that case, I will not disturb you anymore."

Then he escaped into the void and disappeared.

Looking at the direction where Jing Yu disappeared, Ying Ba sneered:

"Hmph... Do you think you can win by limiting the intensity of the battle to the Nascent Soul stage? Then I'll teach you how the Immortal Realm stimulates cultivation and helps you reach your realm!"

East China Sea, Tiansu Island

Jing Yu took a step out of the void, ripples appeared under his feet, and he returned to his own cave.

There was a restrained light in his eyes, and with a flick of his hand, the small and exquisite palace pendant on his waist fell into his palm.

With a slight exhalation of spiritual power from his fingertips, the pendant hummed and grew taller in the wind. In a moment, rosy clouds and auspicious auras filled the air. A majestic and ancient palace surrounded by fairy clouds suddenly appeared. On the plaque at the palace gate were written four large characters: "Youfang Xianfu".

As soon as he stepped onto the jade steps of the fairy palace, he saw a white figure standing quietly in front of the jade platform, with her skirt fluttering in the wind. It was Yun Xuance.

Her palace dress is simple and elegant, her demeanor is as calm and dignified as a cold mountain spring, and her clear eyes seem to be able to see through the fog of the world.

"It's settled." Jing Yu looked at Yun Xuance and said slowly.

"We have witnessed the entire process in the Immortal Mansion just now."

Yun Xuance smiled and said, "Thank you, Xuanjing. This way, the people of Xianzhou will have at least another hundred years of peace... After a hundred years, if Fellow Daoist Lu can break through to the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, our chances of victory will greatly increase, which would naturally be the best."

"If not? At least the war will be delayed for a hundred years."

"If the level is controlled at the Nascent Soul stage, the two sides will fight for territory and fight each other. It will probably take hundreds of years."

"The longer the delay, the better it is for us."

“After all, the three cultivators in the lower realm of the Divine Cauldron are at the level of Perfect Divine Transformation. Unless they advance to the Cave Heaven Realm, there is no further progress.”

“But if they break through to the Cave Heaven Realm, they will be repelled by the world origin of the Immortal Continent Realm and forced to ascend.”

"The balance of victory will gradually tilt as our cultivation realm becomes more and more profound. As long as there are no major variables later, this is a sure win."

"Yes, but how many people will die in the process? It's uncertain. The upper and lower limits may vary greatly."

Yun Xuance said sincerely, "So I'm trying my best to figure out a route that will minimize casualties."

"Going to such great lengths, just to save lives?"

Jing Yu sighed, "Sanniang, you are such a good person... What a pity."

Yun Xuance smiled slightly: "What's a pity?"

"In this world, good deeds don't always lead to a good ending. To do good deeds, one must possess the ability to see through the heavens and the earth, and the wisdom to forge ahead without leaving any stone unturned."

Jing Yuyan said: "You are able to live until now and achieve what you have today because you are a smart person."

"But if you were a little worse, perhaps your achievements today would be even greater."

Yun Xuance said calmly, "Where's Xuan Jing? Do you consider yourself a good person?"

Jing Yu shook his head: "I'm not a good person, nor do I want to be one... I'll get angry with anyone who says that about me."

"This world is too harsh on good people and too lenient on bad people. If you do one thing improperly or unsatisfactorily, those who once worshipped you as a god will want to trample you a thousand times or ten thousand times."

"Even if I truly am a good person, I must not let others see the clues. Good deeds should be done secretly, while some bad reputations can be publicized."

"I'd rather they fear me, be intimidated by me... or even ignore me."

"It's still much better than being a good person and being manipulated by others."

Yun Xuance smiled and said, "That would be too desolate. I'm afraid I'd be left alone."

"It's a little quiet, but it's actually a good thing for destiny."

Jing Yu sighed and said, "To observe the various destinies in the world, one must have a rather aloof temperament. On the contrary, being warm-hearted can easily lead to bad things."

As they talked, they came to Lu Yingzhao's retreat room in the Immortal Palace.

The door of the retreat room suddenly opened. Jing Yu and Yun Xuance looked at each other and stepped in. As expected, they saw Lu Yingzhao sitting cross-legged on a cushion, with the three-flower mark between his eyebrows appearing and disappearing from time to time.

The woman slowly opened her eyes and said, "Is it settled?"

Jing Yu nodded. "We've gained a hundred years. At least during this time I can cultivate peacefully... I wonder if I can break through to the middle stage of the Spiritualization Realm? If I lack [Immortal Spiritual Energy]..."

Lu Ying said, "It's easy to comprehend the laws, but the key lies in the [Origin Flower] in the acupoint between the eyebrows."

"The Origin Flower has, to a certain extent, replaced the role of the Venerable in the Daoist theory of the Ruler, Minister, Assistant, and Envoy. If I, Lu, want to break through to the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, I not only need to comprehend all the cornerstone laws to the level of the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, but I also need the Origin Flower to break through first and subdue all the laws."

"It has been over two hundred years since I, Lu, achieved Divine Transformation. I have already comprehended most of the laws. Now, I only need to devote all my energy to catalyzing the [Origin Flower] and bringing it to maturity. Then I will be able to successfully break through."

Jing Yu asked, "How can we speed up the catalysis of the Origin Flower? Is there any way?"

Lu Yingzhao smiled faintly: "Of course there is a way... That is, burn! Continuously burn the essence of the three treasures of essence, energy and spirit!"

"As long as you continue to consume and accumulate, over and over again, the Origin Flower will become stronger and stronger and gradually grow."

Jing Yu had a bad feeling: "How to consume it?"

"Naturally, fighting consumes energy the fastest."

Lu Yingzhao grinned: "Since you're here... it's a good opportunity to have a fight with me!"
