Balala the Magic Fairy
Chapter 73: Ruyi's Conferred God Record (24) (Page 13)
Yan Lili's eyes swept across the temple, and suddenly, she felt a hint of unusual aura in a corner of the altar.
This power faintly resonated with the chaotic power in her body, giving her an opportunity to break through the shackles of her realm.
Yan Lili expanded her spiritual sense, exploring every subtle fluctuation nearby.
She slowly approached the altar, taking every step with extreme caution, as if she was afraid to disturb the tranquility of this power.
As she approached, that aura began to cause ripples deep in her soul, and her cultivation barrier seemed to tremble slightly under the touch of this power.
Yan Lili took a deep breath. She knew that this was a rare opportunity that might help her break through her current realm.
She closed her eyes and opened her mind completely, allowing the mysterious power to penetrate her.
Under the influence of this force, the chaotic forces in Yan Lili's body began to change. As if guided by some supreme wisdom, they gradually condensed into a purer and more powerful core.
Under the impact of this force, cracks began to appear in the barrier of her cultivation.
Time seemed to slow down at this moment, and Yan Lili was completely immersed in the baptism of this power.
Her consciousness seemed to travel through time and space, and she felt the interweaving of chaos and order at the beginning of the universe. Under the guidance of this power, her realm gradually moved towards a higher level.
After an unknown amount of time, Yan Lili slowly opened her eyes.
The depths of her pupils seemed to contain the light of stars, and her whole temperament became more profound and mysterious.
Nezha and Ruyi looked at each other. They could feel the changes in Yan Lili. Her cultivation had obviously successfully broken through to the peak of the Immortal King.
"Lily, congratulations. This breakthrough means a lot to your future." Nezha said sincerely.
Ruyi also nodded in agreement: "Now that you are more powerful, we will be able to face more challenges."
Yan Lili nodded, she tightly grasped the Heavenly Domain Judge, feeling the surging power in her body. She knew that she was now ready to face greater challenges.
"Let's go, there are more unknowns waiting for us to explore." Yan Lili said firmly.
The three of them left the temple together and embarked on a new journey.

After experiencing adventures and breakthroughs in Yanzhou, Yan Lili and Ruyi embarked on a journey back to Shang State with their newly acquired Zhang Yu Shield and even more powerful strength.
They crossed through thick fog and vast seas and finally returned to the capital of Shang.
When Li Yu learned the news of Ruyi's return in the palace, the longing and worry in his heart were finally relieved.
He went out of the palace to greet her in person. Seeing that Ruyi was safe and sound and her temperament was even more extraordinary, the joy in his heart was beyond words.
"Ruyi, you're finally back." There was a slight tremor in Li Yu's voice and his eyes were full of affection.
Ruyi smiled, and there was a hint of tenderness in her eyes.
"King Shang, I'm back. Although this trip to Yanzhou was full of hardships, it was fruitful."
Li Yu nodded, his eyes swept over Yan Lili and noticed the jade shield in her hand.
"Is this the legendary treasure? It is indeed extraordinary."
Yan Lili handed the jade shield to Li Yu and explained, "King Shang, this jade shield can resist all attacks. It is undoubtedly a treasure for our Shang country."
Li Yu took the Zhangyu shield. He could feel the powerful force contained in the shield, and his respect for Yan Lili and Ruyi increased even more.
"I will always remember everything you have done for the Shang Kingdom."
Afterwards, Li Yu held a grand celebration banquet for Yan Lili and Ruyi to celebrate their return and their achievements.
At the banquet, civil and military officials gathered together, laughing and chatting, and the atmosphere was warm.
At the banquet, Ruyi and Yan Lili recounted their experiences of the trip to Yanzhou. From the test of the four divine dragons, to Yan Lili's breakthrough in cultivation, to the process of obtaining the Zhang Yu Shield, every experience was listened to with great interest by everyone present.
Li Yu announced at the banquet that he would build a monument to Yan Lili and Ruyi to commemorate their contributions to the Shang Kingdom. At the same time, he also promised to strengthen the Shang Kingdom's defenses to ensure peace and prosperity.
After the banquet, Li Yu summoned Ruyi alone, and the two strolled in the imperial garden under the moonlight.
"Ruyi, I miss you all the time during these days you were away." Li Yu said softly, with a hint of tenderness in his voice.
Ruyi snuggled up to Li Yu, with a glimmer of happiness in her eyes: "King Shang, I will always be by your side, assisting you and protecting the Shang Kingdom."

Huaqing Pool, as the most famous hot spring in the Shang Dynasty, is famous for its clear water and rich in various beneficial minerals. It is often used to reward meritorious officials.
"Ruyi, Concubine Li, you have made great contributions to the Shang Kingdom. I have decided to grant you the right to bathe in the Huaqing Pool to wash away the dust and fatigue from the journey." Li Yu said gently.
Upon hearing this, Ruyi and Yan Lili both showed grateful smiles on their faces.
In the Huaqing Pool, the hot spring water is filled with a light mist, a layer of delicate rose petals floats on the water, and the air is filled with the fragrance of flowers and the unique mineral aroma of the hot springs.
The palace maids had already prepared everything, including precious milk to moisturize the skin.
Under the guidance of the palace maids, Ruyi and Yan Lili entered the Huaqing Pool.
The warm water immediately surrounded their bodies, bringing comfort and relaxation.
They sat down gently, letting the spring water reach their shoulders, feeling the gentle caress of the hot spring water.
The palace maids gently poured fresh milk into the pool, and the milk blended with the hot spring water to form a unique milky white liquid.
Ruyi and Yan Lili closed their eyes and enjoyed this rare moment of tranquility.
Li Yu stood by the pool, watching Ruyi and Yan Lili bathing in the hot spring, her heart filled with satisfaction.
After bathing, Ruyi and Yan Lili changed into clean palace clothes. Their skin became smoother and more delicate due to the nourishment of milk.
They bowed to Li Yu and thanked him for his gift.
"King Shang, we are extremely honored by your gift." Ruyi said softly, with a hint of gratitude in her eyes.
Li Yu smiled and waved his hand, "Ruyi, Concubine Li, your contributions far outweigh this small gift. I only hope that you can continue to contribute to the prosperity of the Shang Kingdom."
Afterwards, Li Yu invited Ruyi and Yan Lili to take a walk in the imperial garden together, and the figures of the three gradually walked away in the moonlight.
/
On this day, Ruyi was walking in the Imperial Garden, admiring the flowers blooming in the garden, and was in a happy mood.
Suddenly, Princess Wen Yi, the daughter of the former Empress Yi De, came over with several palace maids, with a hint of provocation in her eyes.
"Empress Ruyi, the jade shield you brought back from Yanzhou is truly eye-opening." Princess Wen Yi said with a hint of sarcasm.
Ruyi turned around and responded with a smile: "Princess Wenyi, you are too kind. The Zhangyu Shield is a treasure of the Shang Kingdom. It is Ruyi's honor to bring peace to the Shang Kingdom."
Princess Wenyi snorted coldly, and looked at Ruyi for a while, then said: "Empress Ruyi, although you have made great contributions, you should not forget your status. Don't think that you can do whatever you want in the palace just because you are appreciated by your father."
A hint of calmness flashed in Ruyi's eyes. She knew that Princess Wen Yi had always been domineering, but she didn't want to argue with her.
"Princess Wenyi, Ruyi will abide by her duties and will not do anything out of line."
However, Princess Wen Yi did not intend to give up. She ordered the palace maids around her to step forward and try to snatch the jade shield from Ruyi's hand.
"Since this jade shield is a treasure of the Shang Kingdom, it should be kept by a princess like me. As a queen, you are not worthy of owning it."
Ruyi frowned slightly, and she quickly took a step back to avoid the palace maid's snatching.
"Princess Wenyi, the Jade Shield was given to Ruyi by the King of Shang. If the princess wants it, you can ask the King of Shang to decide."
Princess Wen Yi's face turned even uglier when she saw this. She was about to lose her temper when she heard a voice: "Wen Yi, what are you doing?"
Everyone turned around and saw Li Yuzheng standing not far away, with a hint of displeasure on his face.
Princess Wen Yi was shocked when she saw Li Yu. She quickly restrained her arrogant attitude and bowed her head, saying, "Father, I was just joking with Empress Ruyi."
Li Yu walked to Ruyi and asked with concern: "Ruyi, are you okay?"
Ruyi shook her head. She didn't want to make a big deal out of it. She just said softly, "Prince Shang, Ruyi is fine. It's just a misunderstanding."
Li Yu turned around and looked at Princess Wen Yi sternly: "Wen Yi, Ruyi has made great contributions to the Shang Kingdom. You should respect her instead of making trouble here."
Princess Wen Yi lowered her head, not daring to refute, and just whispered: "Yes, father, I know I was wrong."
Li Yu sighed. He knew that his daughter was spoiled and needed to be disciplined.
"Wen Yi, go back and reflect on your actions. I will arrange for the maids in the palace to teach you well."
Although Princess Wen Yi was dissatisfied, she did not dare to disobey Li Yu's order and could only follow the palace maid and leave the imperial garden.
Li Yu turned around, held Ruyi's hand, and said softly: "Ruyi, I'm sorry to have frightened you. I will discipline Wen Yi and not let her do such a thing again."
Ruyi smiled and shook her head, "Prince Shang, Princess Wenyi is still young and was just impulsive. I believe she will understand the situation."
Li Yu nodded, feeling gratified by Ruyi's tolerance and magnanimity.
/
Princess Wen Yi grew up in the palace and was accustomed to intrigues and struggles. Naturally, her mind was more complicated than that of ordinary people.
Her beauty and status made her the object of pursuit by many noble men, but she always felt an unspeakable emptiness in her heart.
It was not until she met Gu Yankai and Gu Tingyu that ripples began to form in her heart.
Gu Yankai, known as the Hermit Star God, holds the "Galaxy Hiding Fan" in his hand. With a light wave, he can summon the brilliant galaxy and live in seclusion from the world, not caring about the mundane world.
His appearance is always accompanied by a noble aura that transcends the world, which makes people involuntarily attracted to him.
When Princess Wen Yi first met Gu Yankai, she was fascinated by his calm and composed temperament.
She began to frequently invite him to court banquets, trying to get close to this immortal king.
And Gu Tingyu was known as Tingyu Tianguan.
The "Heavenly Official Seal" in his hand possesses boundless magical power. With one seal, the sky and the earth change color.
Although he was of noble status, he seldom appeared in the palace, always giving people a feeling of being out of reach.
At the night banquet in the palace that day, Princess Wen Yi specially arranged for Gu Yankai and Gu Tingyu to sit on her two sides.
At the banquet, she sometimes talked in a low voice with Gu Yankai, and sometimes cast affectionate glances at Gu Tingyu. Her actions made both men feel a subtle change.
Although Gu Yankai lived in seclusion, he was not heartless. He admired Princess Wen Yi's intelligence and beauty.
Although Gu Tingyu is usually aloof, he can't help but be moved by Princess Wen Yi's tenderness and affection.
However, Princess Wen Yi's ambiguous attitude soon caused criticism in the court.
Some noble fairies who were jealous of her began to talk about her behind her back, and some even slandered her to King Shang Li Yu, saying that Princess Wen Yi's behavior was improper and undermined the royal dignity.
