The Fifth Realm of the Five Seas, Perfected

Li Weiyi took a detour and arrived at the noodle shop at the bridgehead.

The broken stone bridge has been completely repaired.

The noodle shop owner refused the Spring Coin Li Weiyi offered, smiling and saying, "Lord Ge has already sent someone to pay!"

He is him, and I am me.

Li Weiyi placed the Spring Coin on the table and left directly.

Zixia Mountain, where Evergreen Temple is located, is the highest mountain in the outer city of the East City. Although not very high, every morning when the sun shines, the hills are shrouded in purple mist, creating a hazy and ethereal scene, giving it the appearance of a blessed land of immortals.

Around noon.

After Li Weiyi led Shi Shishi and Bai Shu up the stone steps to the temple, they drove smoothly to the dining hall of Evergreen Temple.

"The vegetarian meals at Evergreen Temple are exceptional; they are served promptly at 1:15 noon. You two must try them."

Li Weiyi was quite friendly with the two young Daoist priests in the canteen, and they greeted each other.

"You should have said so earlier! I love this food so much, I've never been full before." Shi Shishi sat down and ordered ten vegetarian meals.

Bai Shu really didn't understand why Li Weiyi had brought them to this Daoist temple at such a crucial moment.

Just as he was about to ask...

Li Weiyi first asked, "Bai Shu, you are Calamity Fire Realm Great Mind Master. Besides being proficient in talismanic Talisman Path, how are you at controlling insects?"

Bai Shu said, "I have studied it, but raising insects is extremely expensive and energy-consuming. Moreover, fierce insects are difficult to tame, and rare insects are hard to find, so I can only barely be considered to have some knowledge of it."

"Your telekinesis is far stronger than mine, it should be enough! Eat, and then come with me somewhere."

After finishing their vegetarian meal, Li Weiyi and Bai Shu walked into the Stele Forest outside the dining hall.

At this moment, Shi Shishi was still eating his fourth vegetarian meal.

The Stele Forest covers several acres, and the inscriptions on some of the steles were carved by Longevity Realm Giants. However, the place is quite desolate, with countless fallen leaves and many steles lying on the ground, no longer possessing the glory of a thousand years ago.

Arriving at an area formed by eight stone tablets arranged in a Bagua formation, Li Weiyi's finger emitted a spiritual flame, and he drew complex Formation Script on the stone tablet at the Qian position.

He deliberately avoided Bai Shu, preventing her from seeing the Formation Script.

This is a secret of the Zuoqiu Courtyard School of Daoism!

"Whoosh!"

The area between the eight steles suddenly collapsed, transforming into a bottomless Bagua Well.

The two fell downwards.

Bai Shu was terrified and panicked. She quickly mobilized her spiritual flames to condense spiritual wings on her back to resist the downward force.

Li Weiyi grabbed her wrist, used his movement technique to dart along the stone walls of the well, and quickly descended to the bottom.

At the bottom of the well, there were eight more stone tablets arranged in the shape of the Bagua (Eight Trigrams).

Li Weiyi walked to the stone tablet in the Kun position and began to sketch.

Behind her, Bai Shu, fearing another sudden fall, quickly grabbed Li Weiyi's hand. "Master Li, can we not play such thrilling games? Where are we going?"

"Go find some help."

As Li Weiyi finished speaking, with a loud bang, a Stone Gate extending downwards opened on the stone wall behind the stone tablet.

When he lived with Yang Qingxi at Evergreen Temple before, he had already gone down to investigate alone.

This place was a Daoist temple where the Spirit Tablet Master was young. Using special Formation Script, a passage can be opened in the underground array of Qiuzhou City, connecting to the depths of the earth.

At the time, Li Weiyi feared that a powerful enemy would find Evergreen Temple, so he regarded this place as a hiding place and a way out.

After walking for a long time, the two finally arrived at the depths of the earth.

Before them lay a pitch-black and enormous cavern, hundreds of feet high, so dark that even spiritual light and flames could not reach the other side. In the center of the cavern stood a towering Bagua platform.

Bai Shu was incredibly surprised. "This place, Zuoqiu Ting told you about it? Where is the helper you mentioned?"

"Slap! Slap!"

Li Weiyi clapped his hands loudly and whistled.

Echoes reverberated through the cave.

Suddenly, a dense rustling sound rang out from the darkness, and countless eyes opened, some shining brightly, others burning with flames.

A chill ran through Bai Shu's vest, making her head spin and her vision go black. She almost fainted on the spot. The entire cave was filled with countless ferocious insects, each exuding hostility, thick with murderous intent, and extremely fierce.

Even more ferocious insects swarmed out from some of the crevices and passages in the cave.

"Don't be afraid. Above Qiuzhou City, there are characters that indicate the 'Solution' process. The Commander-class Mysterious Insect from the underground world have all been frightened away. What you see now are some soldier-level and general-level ferocious insects."

Li Weiyi released the Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors.

They had grown to seven inches long, radiating a dazzling light, flying in all directions, emitting sharp cries that intimidated all the ferocious insects.

Only Commander-class Mysterious Insect comparable to Dao Seed Realm Martial Cultivator possess the initial ability to summon ferocious insects and form an insect army.

The Phoenix Wing Moth Emperor, having grown to seven inches, already possessed a formidable aura. Coupled with its noble bloodline, it was certainly no less powerful than Commander-class Mysterious Insect. In particular, the Great Phoenix, after releasing an aura comparable to that of Longevity Realm Martial Cultivator, directly suppressed all the ferocious insects in the cave, causing them to tremble and wail.

Even Bai Shu, upon suddenly sensing this aura, felt her legs go weak and struggled to resist, as if she were facing a powerful figure of the rank of Great Lord.

Looking at the back of the Hidden Person Jiu Li Tribe tribesman before her, she was deeply shaken, feeling that Li Weiyi was full of mystery and the unknown.

Bai Shu had long heard that the status of Insect Tamer was extremely high; one person could be worth a thousand troops, defend a city, or destroy a sect. Today, she finally experienced all of this in a concrete way.

Li Weiyi said, "I can barely control the Seven Mysterious Insects I raise. But there are many Calamity Fire Realm Great Mind Masters and experts in Insect Tamer in the city. I'm worried about making a mistake."

"I'll teach you a few Insect Script. You need to inscribe them onto those General-class Fierce Insect. Time is tight, so inscribe as many as you can."

After passing on the Insect Script to her, Li Weiyi ascended the Bagua altar in the center of the cave, took out the Green Yin Banner, and covered the altar to prevent Bai Shu from learning some of her important secrets.

Immediately afterwards, he took out the Crimson Haze Exotic Medicine needed for breaking through to the next realm, as well as the Dao Fruit he had not yet used.

"Today, you have to help me control the magical energy within my body and suppress its rejection, otherwise I'm finished, and you'll be finished too. Protect the Dao, protect the Dao, at this critical moment, you have to protect me, right?" Li Weiyi seemed to be talking to himself.

Logically speaking, he shouldn't be able to attempt to reach the Fifth Realm of the Five Seas right now.

This is because the energy of the Fourth Sea is still unstable and has a strong tendency to reject foreign substances.

Forcibly breaking through the border is extremely dangerous.

The reason he dared to do this was because of his Guardian Wife. Naturally, his Guardian Wife couldn't appear in the open, but within his body, she helped him suppress the rejection of the newly added magical energy, all without anyone noticing.

As for the hidden dangers caused by rushing to break through the realm...

We can only discuss this after the Qianlong Lantern Festival.

With his lungs already fully strengthened, Li Weiyi ingested the first Crimson Haze Exotic Medicine. The Spatial Power contained within the herb erupted, and the celestial mist surged wildly within his body, overflowing from his pores.

At the same time, he mobilized the Spatial Power of the Buddha's Sarira to participate in the creation of the inner world of the lung lobes.

The opening of the fifth Qi Sea was forced and extremely difficult. After successively consuming five Crimson Haze Exotic Medicine, his lungs trembled violently, and his inner world was born.

Next comes the expansion of the inner world and the construction of the Qi Sea and Meridians.

Time passed by, second by second.

With the assistance of the power of the Buddha's Sarira Spatial Power, the fifth Qi Sea expanded at an extremely rapid pace, reaching 10,000 cubic meters in two hours.

In the third hour, it reached 15,000 cubic meters.

The expansion speed has slowed down.

In the fourth hour, an additional two thousand cubic meters were added.

Ultimately, Li Weiyi's fifth Qi Sea reached a size of approximately 18,000 square meters, more than twice the size of his Fourth Sea's 8,000 square meters.

It is comparable to the ancestral lands of some Seventh Sea martial artists.

Time is running out.

Li Weiyi took out the Dao Fruit and asked his master, the Coffin Master, to help him implant it into his fifth Qi Sea.

In any case, he must break through to the perfect state of the Fifth Realm of the Five Seas today. As for whether the internal energy is disordered or not, or whether there is any rejection, he will leave it all to his Guardian Wife.

Shi Shishi knew that tonight would be a tough battle, so he spent the entire afternoon eating in the cafeteria.

They were still eating in the evening.

All the young and old Daoist priests in charge of preparing the vegetarian meal were startled and stared in disbelief at the layers upon layers of bowls on the table.

"How can his stomach hold so much? He ate enough food for hundreds of people by himself, is he... even human?"

"Don't talk nonsense! Senior Brother Li is a good friend of the First Inheritor, and the people he brings are trustworthy."

Shi Shishi finally seemed to have eaten his fill. Looking around, he saw that it was already quite dark. He quickly wiped his lips and asked, "What time is it now?"

A young woman in a white Daoist robe sat by a window near the Stele Forest in the distance, and said calmly, "It's almost 9 PM! There's only one hour left before the bell tolls and the venue opens. The Hidden Qianlong Lantern Festival is almost over..."

Suddenly.

The ground shook slightly.

"Boom!"

Within the Stele Forest, a Bagua array of light emerged, radiating a bright white glow.

The Bagua Well, with a diameter of two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters), opened. Accompanied by a high-pitched Dragon Roar, Li Weiyi stepped on the Dragon Shadow and flew out from below with Bai Shu, then suddenly landed on the ground, startling a carpet of fallen leaves.

Shi Shishi was afraid of missing the Qianlong Lantern Festival. Seeing them return, his heart finally settled down, and he stood up like lightning.

Li Weiyi shouted, "What time is it?"

"Hai Shi (9-11 PM)!" Shi Shishi.

"Let's go! We can still catch this good show."

Li Weiyi, brimming with powerful magical energy, suddenly soared into the sky, landing atop the green tiles of the Daoist temple. He looked down at the city lights and gazed at the full moon in the sky, letting out a melodious long howl.

"Splash!"

Led by Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors, countless ferocious insects surged out of the Bagua Well like a black cloud, making all sorts of noises. They flew in the sky and crawled on the ground, countless and endless.

"Whoosh! Whoosh..."

Li Weiyi took the lead, leaping down Zixia Mountain and swiftly bounding across rooftops.

Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors flew in mid-air, leading seven black torrents of insects that blotted out the sky. They followed closely behind him, flying up the inner city wall and rushing along it to the South City to head to the battlefield.

Standing atop a cloud of insects formed from a swarm of General-class Fierce Insect, Shi Shishi was still processing the shock in his heart. "Did we make too much of a commotion...? Are we going to wipe them all out?"

"Those legendary Insect Tamer, weren't they all able to fight off everyone by themselves?" Bai Shu asked.

Besides them, the inspecting Du'e Temple of Patrolling Immortal Envoy, dressed in white Daoist robes, followed closely behind.
