Half a Year Later, the Sixth Sea

After two months of tempering, the newly added 10,000 units of Qi have completely lost their rejection properties and can be mobilized and transported at will.

"Call!"

Li Weiyi exhaled a burst of dazzling energy, opened his eyes, and smiled, "Fifth rank in the Wind Mansion, sixth rank in the Ancestral Field, so that's what it means."

"The Wind Mansion is indeed very mysterious. Its world barrier can directly absorb the magical energy between heaven and earth, retaining its essence and discarding its dross. The entire inner world is a spring."

"After repeated tempering, absorption, and removal, the Fifth Tier Qi has finally been formed!"

Looking around the ship, the increasingly thick white fog and boiling seawater clearly indicated that the Golden Crow was about to emerge from the seabed.

So, Li Weiyi blew a whistle, summoning the Seven Little Ones flying back from the Xihe Flower.

Then, they put away the jade boat and, together with Zen Sea Observing Mist and Li Ling, returned to the Blood Mud Space of Lesser Yang Star through a spatial passage with a diameter of only five feet.

"Gurgle!"

"Gulp!"

Bubbles the size of water tanks rose from the surface of the sea.

The seawater turned golden-red, and amidst the dazzling divine flames, the Golden Crow burst forth from the water.

Over the past six months, with the blessing of a large number of Light Flame Pill and the Fusang Divine Tree, Li Weiyi's mental power has broken through two realms, reaching the Calamity Fire Realm. The spiritual light in the Spirit Realm has been cultivated to perfection.

Such a rapid upgrade must have come at a considerable cost.

The purchase of the Light Flame Pill alone cost 100,000 Spring Coin, a huge sum.

Returning to the Blood Mud Space, Li Weiyi looked at the five boxes, which were half empty, sighed, picked up a pen and ledger, and sat down on the ground to do the accounting.

The bulk of the expenditure was on purchasing "Spring Fluid".

To cultivate the Sixth Sea Palace and the Seventh Sea Field, one must refine the "Spring Fluid" to nourish the barrier of the inner world in order to continuously expand it and cultivate the Fifth Tier Qi and Sixth Order Qi.

Spring Fluid is the essence condensed from the Dao Seed Realm Martial Cultivator; a single drop is worth a thousand taels of silver.

In the cultivation of the Sixth Sea, on average, one drop of Spring Fluid is consumed for every expansion of one side.

Li Weiyi had previously asked Yin Er to help him purchase the Spring Fluid.

A total of 50,000 drops were purchased, with the Hidden Gate paying half and him paying the other half, costing 250,000 Spring Coin.

Li Weiyi definitely needs to prepare more, after all, his fifth Qi Sea is already 18,000 cubic meters, which is several times larger than that of other martial artists.

As Hidden Person, he could naturally mobilize the resources of the Hidden Gate at will. But demanding 50,000 drops at once almost made Hidden Second cry. He had to scour everywhere to raise the funds for him.

After all, Dao Seed Realm Martial Cultivator would never sell Spring Fluid to make a living unless they were so poor they couldn't afford food.

A Dao Seed Realm Martial Cultivator can only condense a few drops per day.

Other Seventh Sea martial artists only consume a few hundred drops of Spring Fluid each month, which can be collected by the Dao Seed Realm Martial Cultivator in the clan. Unlike Li Weiyi, who used ten thousand drops in just two months.

Li Weiyi closed the ledger and sighed, "Cultivating the Sixth Sea, the Seventh Sea, and psychic power, as well as the growth of the Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors, all require money. Fortunately, the Hidden Gate funded half of it..."

Over the past six months, the Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors have consumed all the two-thousand-year-old Seven-Star Silver Fire Begonia that Jiang Ning gave them, as well as the medicinal herbs that Zuoqiu Hongting sent as repayment, which were comparable to ten thousand -Thousand-Year Elixir. They also ate a lot of Xihe Flower.

Now, they have grown from seven inches to eight inches, and from eight inches to nine inches.

His cultivation level and strength improved by leaps and bounds, but the things he did left Li Weiyi terrified.

Because for every inch it grows, the Thousand-Year Elixir needed increases exponentially.

The Seven Little Ones' current combat strength is naturally comparable to some martial cultivators at the First Heaven of the Dao Seed Realm, and their combat strength is no less than that of Cangli, Dragon Hall, and others during the Qianlong Lantern Festival.

If intelligence develops in the future, or if it can summon swarms of insects to assist it, its combat power will naturally be able to advance even further.

However, they must grow to a foot long before they can be considered to have truly reached the Dao Seed Realm.

The Dao Seed Realm is divided into nine heavens.

The First Heaven is "cultivating the Dao".

The Second Heaven is "throbbing".

The Third Heaven is "the Dao Birth".

The jump from nine inches to one foot is undoubtedly a major hurdle. The Spirit Tablet Master said that one must consume a thousand-year-old Thousand-Year Elixir to make it easier to overcome.

Otherwise, we can only wait a few more years and accumulate experience slowly.

"With my current strength, if I participate in the Qianlong Lantern Festival, along with the Seven Little Ones, who can stop me?"

Li Weiyi's physical body is now perfected and his Dao Body is complete. He believes that if he were to face Ge Xiantong and Phoenix-born Unicorn-young at the Five Seas Realm, he could easily win without either of them using their trump cards.

It's not impossible for one person to fight two or three.

Master Urn rose from the ground, his ashes and blood mud merging together to form a blood mud figure with an extremely strong aura. "Still thinking about the Qianlong Lantern Festival? Let me calculate for you. The Dao Seed has nine levels, and the difference between each level is enormous. Only geniuses at the Inheritor-level can barely possess the ability to fight across a single level."

"In other words, after the inheritor breaks through to the First Heaven the Dao Seed Realm, they can fight against martial artists of the Second Heaven."

"Ge Xiantong and Phoenix-born Unicorn-young's talents have reached the First Heaven the Dao Seed Realm, allowing them to transcend two realms and their combat power to rival that of martial artists at the Third Heaven."

"With your current strength, you'll have to use all your trump cards to have a chance against a martial artist at the Second Heaven of the Dao Seed Realm. It will be easier for you to fight against martial artists at the Second Heaven Dao Seed Realm once you reach the Seventh Sea."

"Half a year has passed. With the help of the dragon seed, their cultivation speed must be extremely fast. Their realm has definitely reached the Second Heaven, and perhaps they are about to enter the Third Heaven."

Li Weiyi walked over and smiled, "Master Urn, I'm not being arrogant. I know very well that what others have accomplished in ten or twenty years is not something I can catch up to in just over a year. I'm even more anxious than you are, but being anxious won't help. The Five Seas Realm must be accumulated slowly."

"I heard that among those people, the youngest, Cangli, has been honing his skills in the Five Seas Realm for a full seven years."

"I haven't had a chance to ask yet, what exactly is the Dragon Seed? And why can it allow Dao Seed Realm Martial Cultivator to advance their cultivation level so rapidly?"

The Master Urn sat down on an empty box and began to explain, "First, I must tell you what the seed of the Dao is."

"The seed of the Dao is extremely mysterious and difficult to describe in words. It's like the Great Dao itself; you vaguely know what it is, but you just can't grasp it."

"To condense our own Dao Seed, we generally need to rely on the Battle Intent, using it as a bridge to connect with the Great Dao and condense our own Martial Dao Seed. Subsequent cultivation is all based on it."

Li Weiyi said, "Battle Intent are born from the wondrous laws of heaven and earth. In other words, is the Dao Seed itself the laws of heaven and earth?"

Master Urn pondered for a moment, "It's not yet at the level of the laws of heaven and earth! Cultivating a Dao seed is merely the initial step in comprehending the Great Dao; it's still far from reaching the level of the laws of heaven and earth."

"I will teach you the method of using Battle Intent to condense a Dao seed in the future."

"Now, let's talk about the dragon's offspring."

"The Dragon Seed is actually a Dao Seed condensed from the Great Dao insights of the Ancient Son of Heaven Flying Dragon. Planting it in the ancestral field allows martial cultivators to directly absorb and comprehend it. Naturally, this is several times, or even ten times, faster than condensing a Dao Seed on one's own and taking the path of slowly comprehending classic texts and exploring through research."

Li Weiyi frowned. "Won't this kind of cultivation have limitations?"

Master Urn said, "No! Because the Dragon Race's cultivation method is one of the most supreme Daos in the world, with a complete and sound cultivation path and code, which is more reliable than martial arts that one can figure out on their own. The Dragon Seed itself is also one of the highest-grade Dao Seeds."

"Of course, while they are refining and absorbing the Great Dao insights of the flying dragon, they will also be studying various scriptures at the Dao Seed Realm to match their own Battle Intent. They will not completely abandon their Battle Intent."

Zen Sea Observing Mist said, "I have a different opinion."

Li Weiyi and the Master Urn both looked over.

She said, "The Dragon Race's cultivation method is indeed a path that leads to the highest and most supreme Dao, but to say that it is completely without limitations is not necessarily true."

Master Urn asked, "What level of cultivation do you mean before these limitations become apparent?"

"Don't forget, he is the person chosen by the owner of the Bronze Ship, the owner of the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish, and a direct descendant of the Chan Sect," said Zen Sea Observing Mist.

Master Urn pondered for a long time, then nodded. "She's right! The only thing is, I think the Chan Sect Twelve Loose Hand Techniques are quite extraordinary. Since your master made you cultivate them from a young age, you should use the Battle Intent to condense your own Dao Seed!"

Li Weiyi said, "Wouldn't that mean we have to figure it out and explore it on our own? At the Dao Seed Realm, we'd fall far behind them?"

Zen Sea Observing Mist said, "You can cultivate both simultaneously, the Dragon Seed and the Wind Mansion. This way, you can also lull the world into a false sense of security, making them think that you have truly become Dao Seed Realm Martial Cultivator."

Li Weiyi said, "Cultivating two kinds of Dao Seeds? Where would we find that much time? The cultivation speed would be even slower."

"No, you have time, more time than anyone else."

Zen Sea Observing Mist's gaze fell on the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish on Li Weiyi's chest, its pale blue fish eye. "The light red fish eye is the Lesser Yang Star, possessing extraordinary Spatial Power."

"Aren't you curious about what the other eye of the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish is?"

Li Weiyi, filled with doubt and surprise, held the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish in his palm and examined it closely. "Master said it's the Dao Ancestor's brow bone... Could it also be a planet?"

Zen Sea Observing Mist said, "My cultivation hasn't recovered yet, so it's hard to give you a definite answer. But I'm certain it's related to time. In Tai Chi, only time and space can complement and balance each other."

"After you reached the Calamity Fire Realm, I carefully observed you every time you left and returned to the Blood Mud Space, and that Blue Fish Eye showed signs of flickering."

"I suspect that once your Psychic Power Attainment reaches the Mind Master, it will reveal the mysteries of time."

Li Weiyi pondered carefully, but struggled to grasp the mystery of time. He said, "So, the thing I should do right now is to quickly cultivate my mental power and become Mind Master?"

"Spirit Tablet Master, how long will it take for my mental power to break through to a higher realm?"

The Spirit Tablet Master's voice rang out. "You've only been at the Calamity Fire Realm for a month! Li Ling has been cultivating mental power since childhood, and she's been at the Calamity Fire Realm for a long time now, yet she's still far from breaking through."

"Becoming Mind Master isn't that easy. In the Jiu Li Divine Hall, that's considered an elder-level expert!" Li Ling said.

Li Weiyi said, "I can spend money to buy resources to shorten the cultivation time."

"I've never heard of such a resource. Even among the Myriad Ancient Clan like the Jiu Li Tribe, renowned for their spiritual cultivation in the Lingxiao Shengjing, there are only a handful of Mind Master under the age of sixty. There are no shortcuts; it's an insurmountable barrier," Li Ling said.

The Spirit Tablet Master said, "It's not that there aren't any..."

(The Five Seas Realm is written too complicatedly, so the Dao Seed Realm is simplified to the Nine Heavens.)

In addition, there are some plot holes that weren't addressed in these two chapters, such as the Six Desires Talisman, which I will write about later. My idea is to move quickly when necessary and to be detailed when appropriate.
