653: Is this still a human? I'll go check it out too.

"What good would not giving up do?"

Wan Fei's eyes flickered.

"You are not their match. Instead of letting them take the opportunity to humiliate us, let them have their way this time."

Wu Feng gritted his teeth, "The rebirth flower is very useful for breaking through to the Dao Tribulation Realm. If they get it, Chu Country might gain another Dao Tribulation Realm existence."

"There's nothing we can do. It's fate. No one expected the rebirth flower to suddenly bloom."

Wan Fei rubbed his brow, feeling quite helpless.

"Right now, even if we unite with the other great countries, it's hard to cooperate fully. Everyone has selfish motives, and Chu Country's elite team is the most intact. This time, we can only let them benefit."

Wu Feng fell silent.

Wan Fei waved his hand, "Don't think about it anymore. We'll find a chance to cause them trouble a few times in the Tai Shi Battlefield later."

"That's all we can do," Wu Feng murmured.

The Mingdu River is located in a special area outside the Mirage Domain, Sky Desolate Domain, and Words of Suffering Domain.

A turbid river originates from nothingness, traverses the entire High-Level Spacetime, and then flows back into nothingness.

Along the riverbank, there are occasional patches of unknown wild grass.

Among these wild grasses, there's a chance for a rebirth flower to appear.

The rebirth flower blooms once every tens of thousands of years.

Only one flower blooms each time.

A complete rebirth flower can be consumed after picking.

After consumption, it greatly assists Dao Illusion Realm cultivators, helping them attempt to break through to the Dao Tribulation Realm.

Therefore, whenever a rebirth flower blooms, it causes various conflicts and 搶奪.

However, almost only the top-tier forces of the Three Great Domains are qualified to contend for it.

Ordinary rogue cultivators are not qualified to interfere.

At this moment, in a certain part of the Mingdu River.

An elite team from Chu Country, composed entirely of Dao Illusion Realm cultivators, stood in the air, surrounding a dark red rebirth flower slowly blooming.

In the shadows, another elite team capable of entering the Tai Shi Battlefield level was providing protection.

At the same time, powerful magical artifact auras enveloped and suppressed an area, preventing others from approaching.

Not far away, people from forces like Qiongyuan Palace were observing from a distance.

These people from top-tier national forces had not yet withdrawn; they were all watching.

The main reason was that Chu Country had not deliberately targeted them.

As for Lanlou Country, due to its strong cooperation with Your Excellency Lin Yang, it was targeted by Chu Country, which is why Wu Feng and others had to temporarily retreat.

"The rebirth flower will probably need another three thousand years to fully bloom."

Meng Wei, the leader of Chu Country, looked at the slowly blooming rebirth flower, estimated the time, and showed a hint of eagerness.

"During these three thousand years, anyone who approaches will be suppressed and killed without exception!"

His gaze intentionally or unintentionally swept over the people from Qiongyuan Palace and several other great countries. Although his voice wasn't loud, it carried far.

Evidently, this was intentional, spoken for others to hear.

"Hmph, this Meng Wei, I don't know what he's putting on. If Tai Shi City hadn't been attacked and they just happened to avoid it, how would it be his turn to act like this? And 'anyone who approaches will be suppressed and killed'? Does he even have that ability?"

Upon hearing Meng Wei's words, someone immediately snorted. The voice wasn't loud, but it also carried, allowing Meng Wei and the people of Chu Country to hear it clearly.

Meng Wei's expression changed slightly, and he suddenly pointed at the speaker, saying:

"Xu Kui, whether we have this ability or not, you'll know if you try!"

That's right.

The speaker was Xu Kui from Xiaofeng Country.

After emerging from the Shi Yuan Land previously, he had no longer deliberately suppressed his cultivation and had broken through to the Dao Illusion Realm.

Since he had entered multiple times, there was no longer a need for him to continue entering the Entering Dao Realm Shi Yuan Land, so he broke through after coming out.

In fact, Wan Fei's situation was similar; he was also capable of breaking through at any time, but he was deliberately suppressing it for maximum benefit.

Now, facing Meng Wei's provocative words, Xu Kui directly sneered, "There are still three thousand years left, no rush. It's hard to say who the flower will ultimately fall to."

Although Chu Country indeed held a significant advantage now, they naturally wouldn't just hand over the rebirth flower.

When necessary, cooperation was not impossible.

It was just that with three thousand years remaining, the major forces were still observing.

"Hmph, the rebirth flower belongs to no one but Chu Country!" Meng Wei's gaze swept across the entire scene.

No one paid him any more attention.

A thousand years passed in a flash.

In Mang City, within the separate courtyard.

"A thousandfold increase in soul operation speed is truly terrifying."

Your Excellency Lin Yang temporarily ended his seclusion, his eyes filled with joy.

The effects of the advanced primal liquid were unimaginably potent.

In just a thousand years, his comprehension of the Dao had advanced by another major level!

Under a thousandfold soul operation speed, combined with the Void Primal Liquid, Your Excellency Lin Yang felt that the gains of these thousand years were at least equivalent to tens of thousands of years of ordinary cultivation!

This was naturally very exaggerated.

"Although I haven't broken through to the Dao Tribulation Realm yet, my current strength is already infinitely close to the Dao Tribulation Realm, and even the power of my Dao techniques is not weaker than ordinary Dao Tribulation Realm cultivators!"

Your Excellency Lin Yang was very excited.

His greatest gain from these thousand years of seclusion was that after his comprehension of the Dao advanced by a major level, the power of his various techniques and abilities had reached an incredible degree.

Even though he hadn't yet advanced to the Dao Tribulation Realm, the power of techniques like World-in-a-Flower, Spatial Spirit Lock, and Spatial Cage was definitely no less than that of ordinary Dao Tribulation Realm cultivators!

This was even without using the 'World' amplification!

Even in the Dao of Time, he had gained a lot.

Time Stop could now last for almost one-third of a second!

This was an unimaginably huge improvement!

For cultivators at the Dao Illusion Realm and even Dao Tribulation Realm level, a momentary Time Stop was enough to change the tide of battle at a crucial moment.

One-third of a second sounds short, but its practical effect in combat is absolutely unimaginably great!

"My current comprehensive combat power should be no less than that of an ordinary Dao Tribulation Realm cultivator!"

Your Excellency Lin Yang got up, not continuing his seclusion.

Further seclusion would no longer be of much significance.

He had only broken through to the Dao Illusion Realm a little over a thousand years ago, and he already possessed combat power comparable to the Dao Tribulation Realm.

To break through to the Dao Tribulation Realm on his own, relying solely on seclusion was already very difficult.

He needed to find other methods!

The first thing he did after coming out of seclusion was to contact Wan Fei, preparing to cooperate with the people of Lanlou Country to enter the Tai Shi Battlefield to earn battle merit.

battle merit could be exchanged for many good things that would help him break through.

And when Wan Fei learned that he was already in the Dao Illusion Realm, he was completely stunned.

"Wait... just a moment, Your... Your Excellency Lin Yang, what did you say? You've already broken through to the Dao Illusion Realm???"

Wan Fei was stunned.

His scalp tingled.

If he remembered correctly, Your Excellency Lin Yang had just broken through to the Entering Dao Realm when the Shi Yuan Land opened last time.

But how long had it been since then?

Your Excellency Lin Yang had actually broken through to the Dao Illusion Realm again?

???

Is this even human?

Noticing Wan Fei's shock, Your Excellency Lin Yang smiled slightly, "Just lucky."

Without the Void Primal Liquid given to him by Azure Mountain Dao Lord, he indeed wouldn't have been able to break through so quickly.

"Lucky? How can breaking through be attributed to luck!?" Wan Fei was extremely shocked.

Your Excellency Lin Yang smiled, "There was indeed some luck involved. Let's not talk about that. When should I enter the Tai Shi Battlefield and rendezvous with your people?"

The reason Azure Mountain Dao Lord gave him the Void Primal Liquid was mainly because he reported that the Foreign race was planning to attack Tai Shi City.

And being able to hear the news of the Foreign race preparing to attack the city indeed involved some luck.

So, luck did play a part in his breakthrough this time.

Wan Fei finally managed to suppress the shock in his heart. Hearing Your Excellency Lin Yang's question, he paused before saying:

"No rush for now. The rebirth flower is about to bloom. Although this time it's highly likely Chu Country will get it, I originally thought of giving up entirely. But after thinking about it recently, I feel we shouldn't make it too easy for them. I still plan to cause them some trouble at the last minute. Let's enter the Tai Shi Battlefield together after the rebirth flower blooms!"

"rebirth flower?" Your Excellency Lin Yang's heart stirred immediately.

He knew about the rebirth flower.

This thing only blooms once every tens of thousands of years, sometimes even hundreds of thousands of years; it's something that's hard to come by.

A rebirth flower is actually blooming now?

This was somewhat unexpected.

"The rebirth flower is of great use to Dao Illusion Realm cultivators..."

As Your Excellency Lin Yang's eyes flickered, he suddenly said:

"Give me the coordinates. I'll go take a look too." (End of chapter)
