Entering the Underground Immortal Mansion

Li Weiyi looked at the Time Cocoon, which had become extremely faint, immediately retrieved the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish that was floating above his head, left the Blood Mud Space, and returned to his room.

Peering through the cracks in the doors and windows, I could see that it was already daylight.

Tuoba Butuo's voice rang out from outside. "Brother Weiyi, it's already Chen Shi (7:40 AM). We must depart promptly at Chen Shi San Ke (3:45 AM)."

Li Weiyi put away the battle flags and responded to him.

As Tuoba Butuo walked away, Li Weiyi fell into deep thought, "It's only Chenshi (7-9 AM)? How is that possible?"

When I arrived at Qifeng Ancient Prefecture City last night, it was already dark and very late.

It was at least midnight when they returned from Tang Wanzhou's camp.

"I've only been in the Blood Mud Space for a total of four hours."

"In the Calamity Fire Realm, it would take me at least three days to refine a Star Day Pill. Even if I reached the Mind Master level, with a refining speed two or three times faster than before, it would still take at least a day. But now, I've clearly already completely refined the Star Day Pill I took... Where is the problem?"

"The Time Cocoon?"

Li Weiyi introspects into the spirit world.

The Psychic Power Stars not only fully recovered, but also grew larger and brighter.

Li Weiyi sighed, temporarily suppressing his various doubts, and put the Seven Little Ones into the Insect Pouch. He wore the Provincial Governor's Official Robe as an inner garment, the Blood Handprint Demonic Armor as a middle garment, and the second- Hundred Character Artifact Battle Robe he had pulled from Zuo Shi's corpse as an outer garment.

Wrap the Yellow Dragon Sword in black cloth and carry it on your back.

After getting everything ready, I left the room, followed by the aroma of meat, and went to have breakfast.

After finishing their meal, Li Weiyi and Tuoba Butuo met up and went to the open space outside the camp to choose their mounts.

The Tuoba Clan of Tanzhou possessed unique skills in the art of animal husbandry and herding.

Tuoba Butuo selected a two-meter-long fire fox for Li Weiyi and explained, "The fire fox is smaller than other exotic beasts, but it is the most practical in the underground space. Not only is it fast, but its reaction, jumping ability, and sensitivity to danger all surpass those big guys."

"Of course, even so, it's just a means of transportation. If we encounter real danger, we still have to rely on ourselves."

The open space of the camp.

The martial arts practitioners gradually gathered, and no one dared to be late.

They were all taciturn, and half of them were over sixty years old, but they looked only in their forties or fifties.

Tang Wanzhou stepped out of the tent, dressed in black men's clothing, wearing Metal Arm Guards and leg guards. He stood tall and straight, exuding an extraordinary aura, with Spatial Energy flowing around him.

After giving a few words of instruction, she mounted a three-meter-long, Three-tailed Snow Fox and led thirty-seven riders in a grand procession toward the Underground Immortal Mansion Entrance.

The loud hoofbeats kicked up billowing dust, alarming the forces of all sides in Qifeng Ancient Prefecture City.

Every move of Xue Jian Tang Ting is watched by the world.

"That Young Lord of the North is going to explore the Eighth Path again. I wonder what she has discovered there that makes her so persistent."

"It is said that Xue Jian Tang Ting has lost many experts in order to enter the depths of the eighth path."

"In the past, the incursions were always small-scale, with no more than ten people. This time, the scale is enormous, with a multitude of experts. They either have an extremely high degree of confidence or they have enormous ambitions."

"How about... we follow them? Maybe we can snag a bargain?"

Everyone was eager to try, and they all had great confidence in Tang Wanzhou, this Young Lord.

Greed overcame reason, and so they all followed suit.

Two identical old men, short and thin, with sickles tucked into their waistbands, appeared at the city gate of the county town. They exchanged a glance, and a strange smile appeared in their eyes.

The next instant, they vanished along with the blood-red sandstorm.

The desolate wilderness is dotted with only dense mounds of graves and tombstones.

For the past six months, the ground has been trampled by countless martial artists and strange beasts, leaving it barren and resembling a desert.

A fissure in the earth, more than a hundred miles long, appeared before Li Weiyi's eyes. It was tens of feet deep, with sheer cliffs and precipices. It was unimaginable how destructive this was caused by the extraordinary battle.

Sense it carefully.

It can be sensed that the transcendent power fluctuations have not yet dissipated.

"Boom!"

Tang Wanzhou stopped first at the edge of the cliff, gazing at the endless fissure in the earth before him. His eyes shone with longing, and he declared boldly, "Kirin Zhuang, with his Supreme Magic Tool, tore the earth apart; his combat power is the greatest in Lingxiao. At that time, I too can do the same, and surpass him."

"Go down!"

The Thirty-Eight Riders arrived at the bottom of the fissure and traveled for dozens of miles, where many huge rocks appeared in the soil.

Some of the giant rocks are shaped like monuments, with Ancient Script carved on them.

Some were stone pillars, Stone Gate, Stone Horse, stone tigers... The largest was over ten zhang tall, majestic and imposing. This greatly shocked Li Weiyi, who was visiting the Underground Immortal Mansion for the first time.

This place is nearly a hundred meters above the ground.

The buildings became increasingly dense and orderly, with stone steps and massive bronze beams appearing.

The bronze beams are embedded in the soil and rock, covered in rust, extremely ancient, and can be seen everywhere.

Beside him, Tuoba Butuo told Li Weiyi, "When this place was first discovered, there were a lot of jade pillars, blue glazed tiles, Black Silver Buddha Statue, Black Iron Buddha Niche... everything valuable was taken away!"

Along the way, they encountered martial arts practitioners from various powerful forces, who all retreated upon seeing Xue Jian Tang Ting's group.

Upon entering the underground, the light suddenly dimmed.

Each mount had a fist-sized Stone Lamp hanging from its neck, illuminating the passageway.

Li Weiyi, Tuoba Butuo, and four other Mind Master followed closely behind Tang Wanzhou, walking at the front.

The outer area of the Underground Immortal Mansion had long been cleared away, and everyone was relaxed, with no tense atmosphere.

Li Weiyi was still pondering the strange events of the previous night. "Even if the Time Cocoon is truly profound, it still requires immense mental power to weave. Otherwise, what's the point if it only lasts a day or two?"

"I have gained 16,000 units of magical energy. Even if I go to the Tanggu Sea and use the Fusang Divine Tree to refine it, it will still take three months to complete the cultivation of the Sixth Sea before I can begin cultivating the Seventh Sea."

"If we activate the Blue Fish Eye in the Tanggu Sea, and combine the two effects, would it be even faster?"

"We still need to improve our psychic power as soon as possible, otherwise, even a single activation will nearly cause the Psychic Power Stars to collapse."

"If I become Two-star Mind Master, I might be able to maintain the Time Cocoon."

Thinking of this, Li Weiyi took out a Star Day Pill and swallowed it without regard for anyone else.

Even with Magic Tool Battle Robe covering them, large swaths of bright light still surged forth from their skin.

"Young friend Li, did you take the Star Day Pill?"

An aged voice rang out from the side.

Li Weiyi looked over.

It was the First Mind Master of the Shan Li Tribe, Old Man of Mountain and Marsh. His mount was a Blue-eyed Golden Tiger he brought from Lizhou. He had raised it for sixty years, and its combat power was comparable to that of the Dao Seed Realm demon beast, with an extremely powerful aura.

The Jiu Li Tribe members that Li Weiyi knew, such as Hidden Lord, Li Songlin, Cangli, Hidden Nine, and Yao Xingyue, were almost all open and honest, and naturally they also had a good impression of Shan Ze.

There's nothing to hide.

Given the extent of their Psychic Power Attainment, the fact that they dared to ask such a question suggests they must have a certain level of confidence.

Li Weiyi asked, "Senior Shanze also knows about the Star Day Pill?"

Old Man of Mountain and Marsh swamp smiled, "This is a fine item, High-grade Dharma Pill, but the formula is controlled by the Imperial Court. It can only be bought at a high price in the Underworld Market and among the transcendent clans of the Imperial Court. It is said that a single Star Day Pill can cost as much as 110,000 to 120,000 Spring Coin."

"What? How much?"

Li Weiyi exclaimed in surprise, then realized her rudeness and quickly lowered her voice, "Is it that expensive?"

Shan Ze said, "These are High-grade Dharma Pill! With your level of Psychic Power Attainment as One-star Mind Master, you only need to take three pills to strengthen your Psychic Power Stars to its limit and meet the requirements for breaking through to Two-star Mind Master. For other One-star Mind Master, this process would take at least two or three years."

Li Weiyi felt a sharp pain in his chest and slapped his thigh hard.

To prepare for the Calamity Fire Nine Refinements, he consumed nine Star Day Pills, which was equivalent to consuming a million Spring Coin.

No wonder the Spirit Tablet Master said back then that using High-grade Dharma Pill to cultivate calamity fire was a serious waste.

What left him speechless was that he had also swallowed a Star Day Pill last night to restore his mental power, wasting more than 100,000 Spring Coin for nothing.

Not counting the Star Day Pill he had just swallowed, he only had nine left.

Next, every single one must be used effectively.

"Old Li has to pay. Li Ling took eight of them, worth nearly a million," Li Weiyi thought to himself.

Upon hearing Shan Ze say that Li Weiyi was already Mind Master, surprised glances immediately fell upon the group.

They all knew the many jokes surrounding the dismissal of this Jiu Li Hidden Gate Hidden Person. Who would have thought that he would rise again and forge a new path in the realm of psychic power?

No wonder he ventured out with these older figures; it must be for the Spiritual Platform Blazing Star Stone Fragment.

Shan Ze transmitted his thoughts, exclaiming, "Your Jiu Li Hidden Gate has truly immense power; you can obtain all sorts of cultivation resources. Young friend Li, does the Hidden Gate possess any extraordinary abilities?"

Although Li Weiyi had a good impression of Shan Ze, she didn't trust him.

Every force has its good and bad elements.

The Zuoqiu Courtyard, Confucian Dao Etiquette, still has ungrateful and greedy individuals like Zuoqiu Cangwu and Zuoqiu Qingying. The Jiu Li Tribe has long been heavily infiltrated, so they naturally need to be even more cautious.

Li Weiyi sighed, "I'm just a junior, how could I know such secrets? Don't be fooled by the Hidden Person,' I've actually never met many elders of the Hidden Gate. Moreover, as far as I know, there are several Hidden Person in the Jiu Li Hidden Gate, such as Li Jiufu and Li Jiao at the Qianlong Lantern Festival Hidden Person."

It's no secret that Hidden Nine and Hidden Eleven come from the Jiu Li Hidden Gate.

Shan Ze nodded slightly. "Those two are indeed extraordinary, actually able to communicate with the God of Jiu Li. The title of Hidden Person' is well-deserved. Your Hidden Gate is truly remarkable, unlike the Nine Great Tribes, who have only cultivated one Cangli over the years."

After walking for more than ten miles along the underground passage, the terrain gradually opened up.

Before them lay a magnificent palace complex, brightly lit. All valuables had been looted, but the towering bronze walls, each weighing over ten million pounds, spoke volumes of its former glory and splendor.

The array in the main hall has been broken, and we can proceed unimpeded.

As his mount entered the main hall, Li Weiyi immediately sensed a powerful spatial fluctuation. The energy of the entire world shifted, and ancient chants and sacred sounds entered his ears.

A burning sensation came from my chest.

Li Weiyi dared not take it out.

It's easy to guess; it must be the Buddha's Sarira on the Tai Chi fish, which is probably sensing something and is emitting light and heat.

Li Weiyi forced himself to remain calm and asked, "So, we've officially entered the Underground Immortal Mansion? Entered the legendary Wind Palace of the ancient immortals? The ancestral home of the ancient Bhakara Sect?"

Tuoba Butuo nodded. "This is the main entrance hall, where the ancestral statue of Bhakara Buddha is enshrined. The entrances to more than a hundred passageways are all located within the hall."

"Did you hear anything?" Li Weiyi asked.

Tuoba Butuo paused slightly, listening carefully. "Killing and fighting? That's normal. Whether entering or leaving the Underground Immortal Mansion, one must pass through this main entrance hall. Some old guys who think they're so powerful hide their identities and specifically hunt down martial artists who come out of the vicinity to steal treasures."

"Don't worry, they'll flee like frightened birds upon seeing the young master."

Li Weiyi was not referring to that, so he didn't ask any more questions and followed Tang Wanzhou into the palace, which covered several hectares. The overwhelming sense of grandeur had a great impact on his heart; he had never seen such a building before.

Bhakara Buddha Ancestor Statue, hundreds of feet tall, stands like a mountain peak in front of us.
