Dual cultivation makes you stronger, everyone else is a prodigy, and I'm the only one slacking

A mountain platform overlooking the battlefield situation across the entire Qin border.

A small veranda was built on the platform.

At this moment, two distinguished men sat on the balcony, one of them in the main seat.

He wore a veil made of pure white gauze on his head, which completely covered his face, but his overall demeanor was so beautiful that it was almost divine, as if the surrounding spiritual energy was bowing down to him.

The man sitting opposite him was none other than the Palace Master of the Divine Water Palace. He was the force behind the Wei Kingdom's assistance in this battle.

Palace Master Shen Shui Shu Peng possessed an exceptionally beautiful face, with a pair of narrow, fox-like eyes that held a hint of nonchalant amusement.

The battlefield below, awash in blood and filled with agonizing cries, seemed utterly unrelated to these two.

"Your subordinate is dead," Bai Rongling said calmly, her voice like shattered jade falling to the ground.

Shenshui Shupeng took a sip of wine and chuckled softly, "Indeed, utterly pathetic. You've made a fool of yourself in front of Young Master Jiu."

"A very self-aware answer."

Shenshui Shupeng: "..."

Shenshui Shupeng hadn't expected that this ethereal Ninth Prince would speak so directly.

He chuckled softly, his gaze falling on Bai Rongling's jade-white right hand, where he saw her fingers lightly tapping on the stone table, seemingly lost in thought.

"What are your thoughts on this battle, Ninth Prince?"

Through the white veil, Bai Rongling looked down at the devastated battlefield below and sighed, "I wouldn't call it insightful. The unexpected turn of events on the battlefield, where the outcome was already decided, has actually piqued my interest."

"Since Young Master Jiu is interested, let's continue this battle."

With a wave of his hand, the guardian who had been waiting not far away immediately flew into the air to the battlefield.

The battlefield where the two armies are now clashing is no longer a battle between mortals, but a contest between two forces of immortal cultivation.

"I am Sun Lan, the Left Protector of the Divine Water Palace, here to offer my guidance."

Water God Palace?

Upon hearing these three words, Shi Shangxu frowned slightly, and even Su Man'er suppressed her smile.

Yu Luoning's mind was racing.

Just as she was wondering about the origins of the Divine Water Palace, Hu Qing suddenly sent her a telepathic message, his tone somewhat reproachful.

"We've really stirred up a hornet's nest this time."

Yu Luoning asked, "Isn't Dongbao the only superior sect? Would they be afraid of Shenshui Palace?"

"I wouldn't say we're afraid, but we can't afford to offend them easily. Do you know why they dare to establish their sect using the words 'Divine Water'? It's because this Divine Water is unique in the Eastern Treasure Continent."

Seeing Yu Luoning looking at him with a puzzled expression, Hu Qing sighed and continued, "Our Dongbao Sect can completely crush the Divine Water Palace in terms of both combat strength and the number of disciples. However, the problem is that all the major immortal sects have to purchase massive amounts of divine water from the Divine Water Palace every year."

Yu Luoning seemed to be deep in thought. "Divine Water, what exactly is that treasure?"

"It is said to be a natural source of water, growing within the territory of the Divine Water Palace," Shi Shangxu said casually, taking over the conversation.

"To date, the Dongbao Sect has not found another similar water vein anywhere else, so the Divine Water Palace seems inconspicuous. However, all the major immortal sects and families treat them as honored guests and show them great courtesy."

Yu Luoning frowned. "Wouldn't that mean they've got a stranglehold on me?"

Shi Shangxu: "That being said, there are substitutes on the market, but their effects are far inferior to the divine water."

"After all this talk, what exactly is this divine water?" Yu Luoning asked.

"You can think of it as a divine medicine that can suppress inner demons and prevent cultivators from going astray in critical moments. Even a small bottle can fetch an astronomical price on the black market. This is why the major sects tolerate the Divine Water Palace in every way and cannot afford to break off relations."

"When did the people of the cultivation world become so compassionate? It's a dog-eat-dog world, and possessing a treasure is a crime. This huge piece of meat is dangling around, and no one's even trying to snatch it?"

Hu Qing snorted coldly, "Steal? Who dares to steal it? That original water vein was already fused into the life essence blood of the Divine Water Palace Master using a secret technique. As long as the Palace Master dies, that water vein will wither away in an instant."

It turned out to be the case.

Playing the "mutual destruction" trick, no wonder everyone has to give him some face.

That's quite a clever, open strategy.

Hu Qing said irritably, "Now you know how troublesome this matter is, right? We asked you to play the hero earlier, but since you're not an inner disciple, you got away with it and had nothing to do. But you're going to drag us down with you now."

Yu Luoning pursed her lips. She wasn't a disciple of the sect, and her feelings and emotions were biased towards the Qin Kingdom, so she naturally intended to lend a helping hand. However, she didn't expect them to join in as well.

At this point, saying anything more will be of no use.

Once the fight is over, can you regret it and start over?

However, the contract resides in the soul of the Palace Master of the Divine Water Palace.

Upon hearing this, a subtle glint flashed in Yu Luoning's eyes.

I don't know if the other party is male or female. If it's male, can it be included in the encyclopedia? If so, I wonder if it's possible to copy and upgrade water-type techniques.

Just as Hu Qing was complaining about Yu Luoning acting like a hero and the battle was at a stalemate, Su Man'er suddenly laughed.

"So you're from the Divine Water Palace. So the person from earlier was also from your Divine Water Palace?"

Sun Lan snorted coldly: "Not bad."

Su Man'er smiled and said, "I'm so sorry, I thought he was some kind of evil spirit. I'm so sorry."

"Without announcing his origins, how would I know he came from the Divine Water Palace? I never imagined that the flood would wash away the Dragon King Temple, and now even family members don't recognize each other."

Upon seeing this, Sun Lan arrogantly raised her chin, "Since you know this, why don't you retreat quickly? The war between the Qin and Wei states is not something you can interfere with..."

"Stick your grandpa's leg..."

With a loud shout, Su Man'er unleashed her full Golden Core stage aura, her previous polite smile instantly transforming into overwhelming killing intent, and the sword light in her hand slashed towards Sun Lan.

This slash was ruthless and decisive, aimed at silencing the witness.

Sun Lan was shocked and used her magic weapon to defend herself.

He roared, "You crazy woman! I told you, I'm a protector of the Divine Water Palace! You dare kill me? Do you believe we won't sell you the divine water anymore...?"

"Bullshit! What kind of evil heretics are you? How dare you impersonate cultivators of the Divine Water Palace? Everyone knows that the Divine Water Palace is known for its unparalleled benevolence and compassion."

"The protector of the Divine Water Palace is in seclusion thousands of miles away. How could he possibly appear on a small mortal battlefield? You're just trying to intimidate me. Do you think I'm easily scared? Today, I'll cleanse the Divine Water Palace of its filth and kill this imposter."

Yu Luoning stood behind, her lips twitching slightly involuntarily.

Wow, this Senior Sister Su seems reckless, but she's actually very insightful.

Since we've already started fighting and made enemies, let's go all the way.

They killed everyone, then labeled them imposters, so even if the Divine Water Palace suspected something, they had no evidence.

"Cousin, set up a barrier for Senior Sister Su. We absolutely cannot let her escape."

Shi Shangxu nodded upon hearing this.

The two immediately drew their swords and charged forward.

Hu Qing frowned as he looked at the three men's imposing manner.

He gritted his teeth, gripped the hilt of his sword, and sped off.

With his senior sisters, who were his true disciples, protecting him from harm, he couldn't be blamed.
