This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered-Chapter 814 - 650: Ephemeral Dream Flower (Part 2)

Although that blood ally is good-looking, gallant on the battlefield, and somewhat quirky, he has fought alongside him, trapped in encirclements multiple times; he's a Blood Demon yet never targets ordinary cultivators.
But he swore an oath to Buddha that he has absolutely no interest in the blood ally... right?
"How long will this peace last approximately?"
Liang Yi composed his thoughts; whatever Hui Zhi planned was a future concern. If they couldn't defeat the Abyss, everything they discussed was merely raising flags blindly.
Everyone exchanged glances, finally settling their gaze on Zhou Wudao.
Since the outbreak of war, the Xuanzhou Immortal Dynasty has always been the main force, with no entity better understanding warfare than the Xuanzhou Immortal Dynasty! Thus Zhou Wudao is the one with the most authority.
"This peace is estimated to last... less than half a year. Even if the Abyss doesn't initiate, we will force the conflict after that time."
Zhou Wudao pondered for a while, ultimately providing a conservative estimate.
"This time, not only must we mobilize all forces across the Mystical Mechanism Continent, but it also includes the Abnormal People. Now, the Abnormal People's strength cannot be overlooked."
"Indeed, starting from ordinary individuals, they're now emerging as Seventh Realm cultivators. Although most have average strength, their numbers are vast, and each seems to have no bottleneck, coupled with that eerie Undying Body..."
Wan Tinggui furrowed her brows, fully agreeing with Zhou Wudao's perspective. She had noticed when Liang Yi dispatched those Purple Cloud Sect Abnormal People earlier, but didn't expect the number of Abnormal People on the Mystical Mechanism Continent to keep increasing!
"There's no need to worry too much about the Abnormal People's issue; just give them a broad framework and set a large goal, but don't restrict them too much."
Although he suspected nothing unexpected would occur, Liang Yi kindly offered some advice.
After all, when players are obedient, they truly comply; they can undertake any peculiar task. Yet, when they are disobedient, they reach grandmaster levels, unabashedly refusing service, or even casually drawing swords if displeased.
If the framework is too confined and restricts players too tightly, many warfare-impacting creative ideas might be stifled in the cradle.
"Understood! You understand Abnormal People the most being that there are the most within the Purple Cloud Sect, I will ensure the instructions are passed down."
Zhou Wudao nodded, not ignoring Liang Yi's advice.
"Since we're not required for war preparation, everyone can guess the elder's intentions, so the most crucial matter now is to enhance our individual strength first."
Liang Yi stood up, sweeping his gaze across everyone, his expression serious.
Everyone gazed at Liang Yi, as enhancing their strength was precisely why they gathered here.
With only half a year, achieving a drastic breakthrough through conventional means is nearly impossible, hence their hopes are pinned on Liang Yi, who is something of a miracle, creating the opportunity for miracles!
"In that case, bring out that item..."
Liang Yi took a deep breath, looking at the one squatting to the side, Elder Orange.
"Using that? Hmm... it is possible."
Elder Orange was initially stunned upon hearing, then understood what Liang Yi was referring to, taking out a ball of radiant golden light in response.
As soon as the light appeared, a peculiar and profound aura instantly permeated Youdao Mountain.
The Mountain Spirit emerged from the ground, its eyes brightly fixated on the light in Elder Orange's hand, greedily inhaling large breaths.
He Zhiqing and others were enveloped by the light, immediately sensing a different change within their bodies, something slightly similar to Daoist Enlightenment but not quite the same.
He Zhiqing and the others aware of their body's innate craving for the orb of light, each realized it must be immensely beneficial for them.
Suppressing their inner desires, they directed probing gazes towards Liang Yi, curious about what this item could be.
"This is Heavenly Dao Origin; I initially broke through to the Ninth Realm with its help. These remaining portions were initially meant for using a Secret Technique to transmit us back to the Mystical Mechanism Continent, but circumstances recently turned, leaving some Heavenly Dao Origin."
Liang Yi briefly explained the item's function to them.
Heavenly Dao Origin is rarer and more treasured compared to World Origin, offering cultivators far greater benefits. While not abundant, it's straightforward to help everyone break through their current bottlenecks.
"Additionally, there's another matter... concerning the second method for breaking through to the Ninth Realm."
Upon hearing Liang Yi's words, Zhou Wudao, Liu Rouxin, and Hui Zhi's interest was piqued. They had all discovered that Liang Yi and others seemed to follow unconventional paths, their method for entering the Ninth Realm being unheard of.
This method isn't suited for cultivators with ordinary talent but appears tailor-made for prodigies, saving considerable time.
In the following days, Liang Yi patiently demonstrated his method for reaching the Ninth Realm and how he perfected his Domain, showing everything to everyone.
Although Su Youyi and others had observed it once, a second viewing brought new insights.
Especially Su Youyi, under Liang Yi's attentive guidance, her progress towards achieving the One Domain One World level of Domain was only a step away!
Liu Rouxin, Zhou Wudao, and Hui Zhi, much like He Zhiqing and others before them, gained significant insights from observing and added guidance from those who experienced it before, accelerating their understanding speed.
Within just a few days, everyone's aura intensified considerably, the aura around Liu Rouxin and the others became inconsistent, indicating they could break through to the Ninth Realm at any moment.
Though they possessed the capacity now, Liang Yi temporarily halted their advancement, advising them to wait a bit longer.
They waited until a sword light and a figure saturated with demon energy descended from the skies, upon which Liang Yi opened his eyes, inwardly acknowledging the timing was perfect.
Upon sensing the arrival of the two auras, everyone in Youdao Mountain awakening from their secluded cultivation, became streams of light and converged at the mountaintop.
"Uncle? Why have you come?"
Ke Mengzhan looked at the elderly man with a white beard before him in astonishment, perplexed as to why his third martial uncle suddenly visited.
Fan Jie, Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool's third elder, possessing Ninth Realm peak cultivation.
In Ke Mengzhan's memory, this third martial uncle should be stationed at Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool performing duties, clearing Abyss Cultivators within its jurisdiction; why today of all days do they suddenly have time to visit?
"Liang Yi brother! Youyi sister!"
A white figure darted out from behind Fan Jie, cheerfully embracing Liang Yi and Su Youyi—it was Yue Bai, who usually resided in the Demon Clan due to matters.
"Why only arrive now?"
The tremendous force made Liang Yi stagger slightly, looking at the girl who hugged him tightly, he affectionately ruffled Yue Bai's hair.
Su Youyi also smilingly pinched Yue Bai's soft, furry ears, finding the texture as delightful as ever!
"It's because that guy never manages affairs, Master pressured all the Demon Clan's responsibilities onto me!"
Yue Bai pouted, discontentedly gazing at Elder Orange nearby, a nominal Young Master of the Demon Clan but practically neglected by the Demon Clan.
"I am occupied around the clock, not sparing time to return."
Elder Orange retorted candidly, claiming to be tirelessly laboring for the entirety of the Mystical Mechanism Continent, sparing no time for the Demon Clan.
"You..."
Listening to this, Yue Bai's ears stood upright in frustration, wishing she could teach the guy a lesson.
"Alright, you're here, that's good. Elder Fan brought the items we need just in time."
Liang Yi hurriedly pacified Yue Bai, handing her to his junior sister for care before respectfully approaching the stalwart figure near Ke Mengzhan.
"No need for formalities; I came under Sect Master's order, bringing what you require."
Though appearing somewhat aloof, Fan Jie's tone was extremely warm, gazing at Liang Yi with admiration.
"May I know what matter Elder Fan brings?"
He Zhiqing asked curiously, like everyone else, unclear about the item the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool Elder referred to.
Fan Jie didn't elaborate verbally; instead, he revealed a stunning black-purple flower!
"You Meng Night Flower!? You Meng Garden Transformation Array?"
Those present saw the flower and, excluding Liang Yi, gasped in disbelief that Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool would lend its sect's treasured array, the You Meng Garden Transformation Array.
