His cultivation path became unclear, and he was not valued by the main lineage. He had to risk reincarnation and fight for a chance to enter the main lineage in his second life!
...
"Your Highness!"
In the mansion of Prince Zunye Qingji of the Qingxuan Immortal Dynasty.
Si Kongheng's flying boat had already turned his hair white in just one year. With a hint of exhaustion on his face, he walked into the dark great hall holding a spirit lamp.
"Your Highness, the Undead City is about to open. Should we...?"
"I'm afraid not this time!"
Qingji stood up and shook his head. "The Immortal Emperor is at his last breath. The incident with my second brother has dealt him a severe blow. In the past year, he has only left his dragon couch three times. We need to prepare in advance."
"Your Highness, that is the Undead City!"
"Rumor has it that there are countless spiritual materials and beast bones within that are millions of years old, and even spiritual materials that are tens of millions of years old, which have never been seen before. One spiritual material of the ten-million-year level can elevate an ordinary being to sainthood in one step. Even if we obtain it, it would be extremely easy to reach a major realm."
Hengfeizhou was unwilling.
"So what?"
"My ambition is not here. Compared to precious spiritual materials and beast bones, what I want is power, the power to control the life and death of a dynasty!"
"I plotted for decades to overthrow Imperial Censor Wang Qingwei, only to end up making wedding dresses for others."
"Sikong, now in this Saint Emperor City, more than half of the princes and ministers have defected to my fifth brother. This thorn, inconspicuous yet it pierces my heart."
"The Undead City is a guaranteed death trap!"
Qingji looked at Hengfeizhou with a grim expression. "When the Undead City opens, countless beings from all renowned powers in the Three Thousand Dao Provinces will go to fight for it. Instead of seeking victory in peril, it is better to preserve our strength."
"It's coming soon!"
"The heavens of this Qingxuan Immortal Dynasty are about to change!"
...
Several months later, with two months remaining until the opening of the Undead City.
At the foot of the Primordial Divine Mountain.
The patriarchs of the three lineages of the Primordial Divine Mountain stood respectfully. Hong'er and the other two followed closely. Behind them stood three human figures, their eyes tightly closed, waiting silently.
These three figures all exuded extraordinary auras, their supreme divine power shaking the surrounding space. These three were the heroes dispatched by Yang Hao to support Xia Xinyu in entering the Undead City.
They were Dian Wei, Long Ju, and Yang Youji, a peerless general who had just been summoned by Yang Hao three days prior.
This was the result of Yang Hao converting the accumulated fortune and merit points obtained from the Nine Cauldrons of Destiny in the past few months into reincarnation power, combined with the remaining 1.7 million Dao, and directly summoning them.
"Name: Yang Youji"
"Courtesy Name: Shu"
"Dynasty: Spring and Autumn Chu State"
"Cultivation: Supreme First Layer!"
"Art: Divine Arrow Immortal Canon"
"Accompanying Troops: Top-tier Troops - One Hundred Thousand Chu State Elite Soldiers!"
Experience: Yang Youji was skilled in archery from a young age. His hands could catch arrows from all directions, and his arms could draw a bow of a thousand catties. He was known as a divine archer by the people of his time.
During the reign of King Zhuang of Chu, Yang Youji and Dou engaged in an archery competition for the position of Ling Yin. Dou missed three arrows, and Yang Youji shot and killed Dou with one arrow, earning him the title "Yang the Arrow."
Before the Battle of Yanling, Yang Youji competed in archery with Pan Dang. He shot through seven layers of stacked leather armor with a single arrow. [Note: This sentence has a website reference, which should be omitted.]
When the war broke out, the King of Chu gave Yang Youji only two arrows to shoot and kill Lu Qi. Yang Youji drew his bow and shot, hitting Lu Qi in the neck, killing him on the spot. The other arrow was returned to King Zhuang of Chu. From then on, Yang Youji became famous throughout the state of Chu.
In the thirty-first year of King Gong of Chu's reign, the state of Wu invaded the eastern border of Chu. Yang Youji offered a strategy to engage in battle at Yongpu, where they decisively defeated the Wu army and captured the Wu general Gongzi Dang.
Yang Hao's decision to dispatch Dian Wei, Long Ju, and Yang Youji was made after careful consideration.
Long Ju and Yang Youji had not yet been officially enfeoffed, and not many in the court knew of them. Dian Wei had already appeared before countless powers during Xianyu's ascension to emperor. Dian Wei's appearance at the Undead City would represent the Great Han Divine Dynasty. Having one person fight would appropriately showcase the Great Han Divine Dynasty's foundation without excessively attracting the attention of powerful individuals.
"Greetings, Princess!"
A short while later, Xia Xinyu descended from the Primordial Divine Mountain. Hong'er and the others quickly paid their respects, while Dian Wei and the other two merely bowed slightly.
"Not bad!"
Xia Xinyu looked at Dian Wei and the other two. Their blood energy was soaring, and their divine power was incredibly strong. It could be said that all three were rare prodigies of their era.
Looking at the three of them, she became increasingly curious about the Great Han Divine Dynasty. Who was behind the Great Han Divine Dynasty? Every human being who appeared was so powerful.
From Xuanzang of the Jiuli Heavenly Dynasty at that time, to the small, slender being who shook the entire realm before the bloody sea and suspended coffins, the human beings who emerged from the Great Han Divine Dynasty were all heavenly prodigies who spanned eras, and each one became increasingly powerful.
"Hong'er, Cai'er, Yun'er, the journey to the Undead City is extremely perilous. You should cultivate well in the Primordial Divine Mountain and wait for my return."
Xia Xinyu nodded at Dian Wei and the other two, then looked at Hong'er and the others. Before the Undead City, it would be the first clash between the top powers of the Three Thousand Dao Provinces, and within the Undead City, it would be the arena for the new generation of supreme prodigies.
Hong'er and the others had become stronger with her help, but they were still far too lacking.
"Time is almost up, Princess. Let's set off."
The patriarch of the Seven-Colored Phoenix clan bowed respectfully.
Xia Xinyu nodded slightly, looked back at the Primordial Divine Mountain, and then with a wave of her jade hand, a dreamlike phantom immortal phoenix radiating seven-colored divine light materialized in the void.
With a flick of her finger, a spatial rift opened wide. The seven-colored immortal phoenix spread its wings, and layers of divine light extended towards the spatial rift.
"Three generals, let's go!"
Xia Xinyu said softly.
Dian Wei and the other two bowed slightly, then stepped onto the seven-colored immortal phoenix. In the next moment, their vision brightened, and they re-entered chaos.
The void before them flashed by rapidly. Even though the three of them had reached the Supreme realm, passing through the void channel did not take up even a third of the time compared to this.
Xia Xinyu sat cross-legged on the head of the immortal phoenix, her eyes closed, continuously circulating her cultivation techniques.
Long Ju looked around and said softly to Yang Youji and Dian Wei, "At this speed, we should reach the Eastern Remote Undead City in about a month!"
"Indeed!"
Dian Wei marveled. Traveling from the Great Han Divine Dynasty in the Western Regions to the Eastern Remote Undead City in one month was a terrifying speed.
If they had taken teleportation arrays, they would have had to depart more than half a year earlier, otherwise, they would not have been able to reach it by the time the Undead City opened.
"Let's cultivate!"
"We still have a long way to go!"
Yang Youji sat down cross-legged and began to circulate his cultivation technique. Long Ju and Dian Wei also started cultivating. The long journey was rather monotonous, but if they cultivated, it would only be a blink of an eye for them.
