Ten Springs Open, the Mysteries of the Divine Gate

Outside the Jiu Li Tribe camp, all the martial cultivators at the Spring Realm came out, drawn by the celestial aura emanating from the person in the distance. Some felt respect, some envy, and some admiration.

For the past two weeks, "Sima Tan" has been either meditating, practicing martial arts, or consuming the Light Flame Pill. The celestial mist from the direction of Immortal Burial Town has been converging on him from time to time, which is visible to the naked eye and is both mysterious and wondrous.

This is a truly extraordinary person!

Even though the elders of the Jiu Li Dao Academy had high cultivation levels, they didn't possess the same mysterious charm that Sima Tan had, a charm that could shatter conventional understanding.

Hidden Twenty-Five gazed into the distance and murmured, "His aura is growing stronger and stronger. Is he about to break through to the Five Seas Realm?"

"Breaking through to the Five Seas Realm here? In this region, once you break through, your body will probably spontaneously combust. He should understand that." Yao Yin looked worried.

Hidden Twenty-Five said, "He can even absorb immortal mist; his body seems to be integrated with the entire world. He cannot be judged by ordinary standards."

Yang Yun was incredibly resilient. Despite having lost all four limbs and suffering multiple beatings over the past two weeks, only able to eat small amounts of food every two or three days, he was still alive. Watching the ethereal glow emanating from Li Weiyi's seated body in the distance, like ripples spreading outwards, he felt a deep despair, tears welling in his eyes. He felt that revenge was hopeless in this lifetime.

Such extraordinary feats can only be compared to the legends of Ancient Son of Heaven in their youth.

Over the past two weeks, Li Weiyi has used up almost all of the dozens of Spring Breaking Needle on his body.

The inner world beneath the Shenque acupoint was completely filled with celestial radiance, and a crack opened in the barrier between Celestial Person. The celestial radiance escaped from that crack, entered the flesh and internal organs, and finally dissipated from the pores.

"Even though a crack has been opened, why hasn't the spring appeared yet?"

"Since that's the case, then let 'Spring Convergence Breaking Wall."

In his martial arts practice, Li Weiyi always forges ahead, striving with all his might to climb to greater heights.

He maintained his Breathing Technique, activating the nine springs throughout his body: his feet, hands, central nervous system, chest, Baihui, Fengfu, and Zutian. The nine springs simultaneously gushed forth magical power, which entered the 108 Trace Meridians.

In the past two weeks, he has not only been absorbing immortal essence but also attempting to break through to the tenth spring.

It also absorbs the light of the immortals to refine its Trace Meridians.

The number of Golden Meridian Lines in his body reached sixty-two, while the remaining forty-six were all Silver Meridian Lines.

The magical power flowing through all the Trace Meridians rapidly converged towards the Shenque acupoint.

"Boom!"

Each time the energy converges, ripples of immortal energy erupt from Li Weiyi's body, spreading outwards.

The impact of the Spring Convergence Breaking Wall reached sixty-two times before the spring-like opening finally began to throb in the inner world below the Shenque acupoint. It was like a heart beating faster and faster, as if it was about to break out of its shell.

The sixty-third time the Spring Convergence Breaking Wall.

The spring within the inner world of Shenque finally broke through everything, and the barrier completely disappeared. Powerful magical energy, like surging waves, merged with the immortal mist and surged outwards.

"Rustle!"

A mile away, all the martial artists in the Jiu Li Tribe camp felt the powerful energy blowing from that direction.

Yao Yin's long hair swayed, and her expression changed drastically. "The purity and level of this magical power are definitely at the Five Seas Realm. Has he really broken through?"

Hidden Twenty-Five said, "Don't worry! If anything goes wrong, he'll definitely rush into the barrier ahead and enter the Immortal Realm space immediately."

The scene ahead was breathtaking; Li Weiyi was enveloped in a dense celestial glow, as if sitting on a sea of clouds.

He was in shock and confusion at that moment.

The inner world of Shenque is completely different from the ancestral field and also different from the Qi Sea mentioned by martial cultivators of the Five Seas Realm. It appears very chaotic, not the size of one or two squares, but rather boundless.

The edge was shrouded in celestial mist, beyond which lay a deep darkness that could devour everything.

Even more unbelievable is that the magical power gushing from this tenth spring is in liquid form.

It should be noted that even martial artists at the Five Seas Realm have not been able to condense liquid mana.

Only Dao Seed Realm Martial Cultivator can condense a small amount of Spring Fluid in the spring. Moreover, it is the martial cultivator who consciously and actively condenses it, rather than the spring automatically gushing out of it.

The liquid mana gushing from Li Weiyi's Divine Palace was certainly no match for the Spring Fluid of Dao Seed Realm Martial Cultivator, but it was still incredibly incredible.

"Whoosh!"

From the spring, the first Trace Meridians extended out like a rapidly growing vine, and it was directly Golden Meridian Lines.

This Golden Meridian Lines didn't extend very far, but spread out to form countless tiny branches that enveloped the heart.

My heart pounded like thunder, and I became stronger and more powerful.

"Whoosh!"

A second Golden Meridian Lines extends out, wrapping around the lung lobe.

The five lobes of the lungs are like five lush and verdant sacred trees, making Breathing and Exhaling easier and more natural.

"Whoosh!"

The third Golden Meridian Lines emerged from the spring, splitting in two and surging towards the two kidneys.

The eleven Trace Meridians in front flow towards the five internal organs and six bowels respectively.

The twelfth Trace Meridians runs along the spine, past the central point and the Fengfu point, and straight to the Baihui point on the top of the head.

The number of Trace Meridians in Li Weiyi's body reached 120, and the golden light on his body could not be suppressed, constantly spreading outwards and merging with the immortal mist and magical energy.

Another half day passed, and only after fully integrating and controlling the newly added power within his body, did the golden light, celestial glow, and magical energy return to his body with Breathing and Exhaling.

My whole being returned to a state of natural peace.

Li Weiyi did not rush to break through to the Five Seas Realm in one go, but planned to first refine the remaining forty-six Silver Meridian Lines in his body into gold.

If each Golden Meridian Lines is a dragon vein, and one cultivates one hundred and twenty dragon veins, then the foundation for future cultivation will be truly solid.

Hidden Twenty-Five and Yao Yin rushed over.

"You've broken through?" Hidden Twenty-Five asked.

Li Weiyi opened her eyes, and the whole world became incredibly clear. Feeling happy, she nodded with a smile and then quickly put on her clothes.

Yao Yin, thinking Li Weiyi had only broken through to the Five Seas Realm, was very nervous. "Can you feel the magical energy within your body becoming scorching hot, as if it's about to burn?"

"Thankfully, I don't feel that way yet."

Li Weiyi stood up, stretched, and looked at the group of the Jiu Li Tribe warriors watching them from afar. He asked curiously, "Aren't you all gathering herbs? Why have you all gone back to camp?"

Hidden Twenty-Five said, "You've been focused on breaking through to the Five Seas Realm, so we didn't dare disturb you. About seven or eight days ago, the Immortal Realm space on the other side of the Qi barrier on the path to the Spring Realm was blocked by the Five Seas Realm martial artists from Tianya Ridge and the Four Great Sects. Once Jiu Li Tribe martial artist enters, they will be killed. More than ten young martial artists have already died at their hands, including me, who almost didn't make it back."

"Seven or eight days? That's a long time? I thought only two or three days had passed," Li Weiyi said.

Hidden Twenty-Five said, "The time it took you to break through to the next realm was more than seven or eight days; it probably took twice as long."

Li Weiyi looked surprised, then realized something. "Shouldn't the Mang Mountain Grand Sacrifice have ended long ago? What's the situation on the other side of the Five Seas Realm?"

Yao Yin said, "The situation is very bad! We have dispatched three suicide squads, a total of eight people, all of whom are Seven Springs martial artists, to cross the Five Seas Realm and rush back to Yaoguan City. But they have all disappeared without a trace."

Li Weiyi's brows were furrowed. The distance from the Five Seas Realm to the rendezvous point of the nine chieftains was a full hundred miles.

Even if the Four Great Sects only send one expert at the Five Seas Realm, they could completely cut off the road.

Li Weiyi asked, "None of the Five Seas Realm martial artists from the Jiu Li Tribe have shown up on either side?"

Hidden Twenty-Five nodded. "That's the most worrying thing. If the entire Jiu Li Tribe's Five Seas Realm cultivators have been wiped out, we can only wait to die here! Entering the Immortal Realm means death, and going to the Five Seas Realm also means death."

"How much food do we have left?" Li Weiyi asked.

The Mang Mountain Grand Sacrifice was originally planned to last nine days, but about twenty days have already passed.

Hidden Twenty-Five said, "The young martial artists who participated in the Mang Mountain Grand Sacrifice have been reduced by one-third. With the food scavenged from the enemy's corpses, we should have enough to eat for another three to five days."

"If we can kill the mount, we should be able to hold out longer."

Li Weiyi looked at Yao Yin, and seeing that she seemed to want to say something but hesitated, asked, "What do you want to say?"

Yao Yin clenched her fingers so tightly that her nails dug into her palms. After struggling for a long time, she said, "Hidden Twenty-Five didn't tell the whole truth. More than ten Jiu Li Tribe martial artists died at the hands of the Five Seas Realm experts from Tianya Ridge and the Four Great Sects. But initially, these martial artists were all captured alive. They wanted to force you in, so they made a threat that if you didn't show yourself, they would kill two people every day. Even now, there are still five or six hostages in their hands."

"Boom!"

Li Weiyi's anger rose within him, his eyes suddenly darkening as he asked, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Hidden Twenty-Five said, "In the battle half a month ago, not all those at the Spring Realm fled to the Five Seas Realm; a small number escaped into the Immortal Realm. They were the ones who spread the news of your massacre to the ears of the major powers. Of course, Wang Daozhen may also have played a part."

"In short, whether they want revenge or to eliminate you in your infancy, they will stop at nothing."

"They are too powerful and numerous. If you go out, you will surely die."

"What can we do? We can't let someone who isn't a member of the Jiu Li Tribe be caught in a dilemma, either going out to be killed or suffering inner torment and guilt. You've already done enough, so after discussing it, we've decided to keep it a secret for now."

"We'll play the bad guys, we'll bear the inner torment and guilt, you just focus on breaking through to the next level."

Li Weiyi gradually calmed down from his anger and looked at the air barrier in front of him.

Yao Yin said worriedly, "Don't feel guilty. This matter is beyond our ability to handle. It's something that the Five Seas Realm of the Jiu Li Tribe should do. That battlefield doesn't belong to us, and it has nothing to do with you. The reason I told you this is because I didn't want to hide it from you or lie to you."

"You're right! If you don't speak up today, you're completely disregarding me, the Hidden Person." Li Weiyi stood tall and straight, his calm exterior concealing a sharp killing intent.

Hidden Twenty-Five said, "From the first day they were captured alive, we have been waiting for the Five Seas Realm martial artists of the Jiu Li Tribe or the hidden masters of the Hidden Gate to arrive, but they have not arrived yet."

Li Weiyi gazed at the distant Jiu Li Tribe camp, his eyes sweeping over the young figures. "This place has become an isolated island, seemingly safe, but in reality, we're trapped. I'll go out and explore; we have to find a way out."

If all else fails, he has one last resort.

"I'll go with you," Yao Yin said.

Li Weiyi shook his head. "I have a high-level magic artifact, the Nightwalker's Robe, which allows me to become invisible. Do you have one? You need to stay and oversee things. I'm not comfortable with someone with a strength of Hidden Twenty-Five."

Hidden Twenty-Five's lips twitched, and he asked, "Which way are you going? Back to Yaoguan City?"

Li Weiyi said, "Returning to Yaoguan City is undoubtedly a dead end. So much time has passed, how could the nine chieftains not know that something happened in Immortal Burial Town? Knowing this, yet unable to clear the road, what does that mean? The situation outside may have changed drastically, with war raging everywhere."

Hidden Twenty-Five and Yao Yin's expressions changed drastically. Li Weiyi's analysis might be too extreme and pessimistic, but it wasn't impossible.
