Chapter 1219: Chapter 1219 - 1204: Commandery Princess
Just half a day after arriving at the Primordial Continent—more accurately, before truly setting foot on its land—Bai Zizai already had a preliminary understanding of the Primordial Continent from the rather remote North Sea seafloor.
Bai Zizai was already eager to immerse himself in the Primordial Continent, wanting to acquire the cultivation resources he desperately needed.
Especially after seeing the hope for a breakthrough.
Therefore, Bai Zizai resolutely left this water mansion alone, heading to the actual Primordial Continent, even though he was truly in the dark about it.
Not long after Bai Zizai departed, Wu Shu also bid farewell and left.
Shortly thereafter, the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King Sunx Ba, Zhu Hong, Xuan Hu, and Hu Qingtong also left.
Of course, Sunx Ba, Zhu Hong, and the others left with a much clearer goal than Bai Zizai, who wandered like a headless fly. They had a specific destination.
Being members of the Demon Race on Human Clan territory, they had to be careful lest they become either victims of persecution or mere playthings. Extremely dangerous.
The ancestor of the Devil God Palace had already given them instructions upon their arrival. They were to head to their respective clan territories.
As for where these clan territories were, according to them, there was a secret method of sensing it within their bloodline inheritance.
According to them, their inherited bloodline was considered substantial. Upon reaching their clan territories, they should receive due attention.
Before setting off, Sunx Ba, Zhu Hong, and Xuan Hu handed over all sixty or so Psychic Spirit Pills they had collected to Hu Qingtong.
Because Hu Qingtong had the lowest cultivation level, the Psychic Spirit Pills could quickly boost her cultivation.
Ye Zhen thought for a moment and decided to leave his Psychic Spirit Pills with his senior sister Liao Feibai, not handing them out.
In Ye Zhen’s heart, Liao Feibai was far more important than Hu Qingtong.
But as they left, Sunx Ba and Zhu Hong gave Ye Zhen strange looks, glancing between him and Hu Qingtong before letting out a few strange cries, leaving together with Hu Qingtong.
In no time, out of the eleven who came, only Ye Zhen, Liao Feibai, Jinghai, Fug Hai, and Sea-Breaking were left.
Even though Ye Zhen had anticipated this, he was surprised by how quickly it happened.
Of course, Ye Zhen wouldn’t rush to leave, nor could he.
This Xiansheng Water Mansion had already been controlled by the three Great Saints of Jinghai—it wasn’t Ye Zhen’s concern to worry about its future development.
However, the ancient teleportation formation and the passage hidden behind this Xiansheng Water Mansion had to be completely secured.
Ye Zhen, along with the three Great Saints of Jinghai, spent a full month completely disguising the passage.
First, the passage was completely sealed. Countless water plants were cultivated and thrived under Ye Zhen’s Yimu Spiritual Power, making them appear decades old.
They arranged a guardian formation identical to the surrounding environment, with no special features.
Later, matching buildings were rebuilt on top, complementing the rear garden of the Xiansheng Water Palace. It was impossible to discern anything extraordinary below.
Even in the worst-case scenario, if one day Xiansheng Water Palace were captured, the thoroughly buried ancient teleportation formation below the passage would remain undiscovered.
For confidentiality, all of this was directly undertaken and constructed by Ye Zhen and the three Great Saints of Jinghai.
After finishing everything, a month had passed.
"Senior sister, when do we leave?" Ye Zhen felt it was time to leave and head to the Primordial Continent to develop.
Though Xiansheng Water Mansion provided an initial foothold, from the memories of those Water Demons and Flood Dragons, the Primordial Continent was a much richer place than the North Sea.
There, indeed, was Ye Zhen’s true battleground.
"Leave?" Liao Feibai’s expression was somewhat surprised. "Why leave?"
"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you my decision. Inside this Xiansheng Water Palace, I discovered a **** constantly spouting Youluo Cold Evil named Yuluo Cold Spring.
With this Yuluo Cold Spring, in three to five years at best, ten at worst, I can transform all my spiritual power into Youluo Cold Evil, several times more powerful than the Profound Ice Spirit Evil.
It could even allow a condensing of the Innate Youluo Evil Body! So, I decided not to leave, and stay here at Xiansheng Water Palace to cultivate.
Once my cultivation succeeds, then I’ll venture out to the Primordial Continent to display my prowess."
At this, Liao Feibai rarely chuckled, "Having reigned across the True Profound Continent, I wouldn’t be used to being subservient again without some skills to lean on."
Hearing that, Ye Zhen rolled his eyes dramatically, "Senior sister, are you saying that if I go out wandering, I’m a pushover?"
"This Innate Youluo Evil Body, once cultivated, you’ll indeed turn into a Rakshasa!"
Liao Feibai’s almond eyes instantaneously widened into perfect circles, "What did you say? You little brat, say that one more time to me!"
"Uh...," Ye Zhen wisely kept his mouth shut.
Liao Feibai’s thoughts, Ye Zhen understood somewhat. It was just that Liao Feibai was already used to hiding her real intentions.
Actually, Liao Feibai understood what Ye Zhen heading to the Primordial Continent to develop meant, and knew the inherent dangers.
She understood Ye Zhen’s abilities well, believing that even in extreme danger, with his mysterious skills, he had a chance of escape.
But if she, Liao Feibai, accompanied him, it would greatly diminish Ye Zhen’s escape likelihood in dire situations by a hundredfold.
Liao Feibai clearly understood her characteristics: she was a heavy sword with formidable offensive capabilities, but her ability to escape and protect herself was weaker by several or even a dozen times.
Thus, she wisely chose to stay, and the Yuluo Cold Spring in Xiansheng Water Palace provided her the best reason and hope!
Yes, hope!
Once an aerial sovereign akin to a soaring eagle, unwilling to be at the bottom of the food chain like pheasants.
The Yuluo Cold Spring in Xiansheng Water Palace, was Liao Feibai’s hope to transform from a pheasant into an eagle.
"Fourth brother, rest assured; as long as one of our trio breathes, your wife won’t lose even a hair," said the Great Sage Fug Hai solemnly.
"Fourth brother, if you plan to leave, I have a suggestion that might help you quickly integrate into the Primordial Continent and even gain an official identity or position as soon as you set foot there," proposed the Sea-Breaking Great Saint suddenly.
"Oh, how so?" Ye Zhen and the others’ expressions simultaneously turned curious.
"That Flood Dragon was quite lecherous, abducting a large number of young girls from the nearby sea and land for his pleasure, establishing a massive harem, with a thousand maids and over a hundred concubines granted titles.
However, the one the Flood Dragon favored most was a woman named Lady Jie Youu.
This woman’s makeup was perfect, adept at reading others’ intentions, and highly beloved by the Flood Dragon. But beyond this, Lady Jie Youu’s background was even more extraordinary," said the Sea-Breaking Great Saint.
"Background?"
"Commandery Princess!"
"She is a princess of a commandery named Xitian, next to the North Sea, with her title being ’Jie Youu.’
Moreover, from what I gathered from the oral accounts of the demons, Princess Jie Youu is the sole daughter of the ruler of Xitian Commandery.
Over the past five years of her disappearance, high bounties have been perpetually offered to find Princess Jie Youu’s whereabouts. It’s said that whoever finds and returns her, besides gaining the bounty, would earn a prestigious official position."
"With careful planning, creating the illusion of Fourth Brother rescuing Princess Jie Youu is completely feasible," said the Sea-Breaking Great Saint.
Liao Feibai frowned, "Is it really necessary?"
"It’s the best choice," the Great Sage Jinghai interjected. "On the Primordial Continent, humans and demons are at odds, yet the Human Clan still occupies most of the continent and maintains strong control over their domain territories.
Due to the human-demon opposition, the background and origin of independent martial artists are scrutinized closely.
Having an official identity will help Fourth Brother integrate into the Primordial Continent more quickly, eliminating a large portion of potential obstacles." Saying this, the Great Sage Jingzhang smiled slightly, casting a peculiar glance at Liao Feibai, leaving her bewildered.
"If you’re worried that Fourth Brother might develop feelings for Princess Jie Youu, don’t be.
That Princess Jie Youu, a mere faded flower, is utterly beneath Fourth Brother."
This instantly turned Liao Feibai’s face completely red, prompting consecutive scolds, "What happens between him and that Princess Jie Youu is none of my business!"
Witnessing Liao Feibai’s flustered expression, Ye Zhen knowingly smiled, "Commandery Princess? Very well, let’s proceed according to Third Brother’s plan!"
