Chapter 1068: The Demonic Race's Invitation, Third Princess's Schemes!
In an era when sixth stage void refinement cultivators were nowhere to be seen, the heaven-shaking, earth-shattering might of spiritual treasure marvels truly represented "absolute power."
Even the Great Qian of the Central Domain and the Royal Court of the Demonic Race had no choice but to treat them with utmost caution. This alone showed how vastly different a divine transformation cultivator's power and status were depending on whether they possessed a spiritual treasure marvel.
At this time, the demonic race sending envoys could only mean one thing: they wanted to talk.
After all, the status of a spiritual treasure marvel was akin to nuclear weapons in his previous life. A conflict of that level could never be provoked lightly.
Once a war of the ultimate path broke out, it would be extremely difficult to clean up afterward. Not only would it cause enormous damage to the world's environment, but a single misstep could mean total defeat.
Objectively speaking, whether it was a divine sovereign or a demonic emperor, their cultivation levels could be high or low, but in the face of the power of the rules, they were still fragile.
In such circumstances, both sides possessed the power to annihilate the other.
If neither side was prepared to pay any price, to gamble everything just to eliminate a powerful enemy, then any conflict had to be restrained to some extent.
Since ancient times, the Fire Phoenix Clan had been the overlord of the Southern Region, ruling over countless demonic races and enjoying endless glory.
How could they possibly gamble the fate of their entire clan on a single duel of magic?
After all, a large family had great wealth, but also many concerns.
Liu Yu had long anticipated that they would meet and discuss matters, and that both sides would make some compromises.
So it was no surprise that the demonic race had sent an envoy. He merely said calmly:
"Bring in the demonic race's envoy."
As soon as he spoke, his voice turned into rolling thunder, carrying the majesty of a deity, and instantly echoed through the entire great hall.
"This disciple obeys!"
Li Buyu responded in a booming voice. After bowing solemnly, she quickly left the hall.
Watching the figure of this former "senior sister," Liu Yu's eyes flickered with thought.
Around six hundred years old, she had long since reached golden core pinnacle. Her foundation was also fairly stable, though her golden core was only of middle grade.
A middle-grade golden core meant she was destined to never reach divine transformation, but she still had some hope of reaching yuan ying.
If she were aided by a Nurturing Infancy Pill, there would still be a thirty to forty percent chance of advancing to yuan ying.
"Well then."
"For the sake of Affordable Master's old favor, and since we were once fellow disciples, I'll help this woman a bit."
With that thought, Liu Yu made up his mind.
Having cultivated immortality for five hundred years, a foundation establishment cultivator's lifespan was at most three hundred years, while a golden core cultivator could live eight hundred years.
That meant all of his former fellow disciples who had failed to form a golden core were either already deceased or had long since perished.
Golden core cultivators like Li Buyu and Li Bùtóng were among the few familiar faces left.
Li Buyu had accumulated enough sect contribution already, and refining a Nurturing Infancy Pill himself was no trouble at all.
Under normal procedure, he could simply release the pill and let her exchange sect contribution for it. That would be an easy way to help her.
In a sense, the sect golden core cultivators who wished to challenge yuan ying, represented by Li Buyu, had come at just the right time.
Because next, Liu Yu planned to elevate the sect into a holy land, and many places would require sufficiently weighty figures to guard them. There was indeed a need to cultivate more yuan ying-level forces.
Moreover, he was already in the divine transformation realm, and it would be difficult for anyone in this world to threaten his life anymore, so many of his former concerns were gone.
