Breakthrough, Leaving Seclusion

After a day has been condensed within the Time Cocoon.

Li Weiyi, enveloped in spiritual flames, dashed out of the array's Light Veil surrounding the pagoda and headed straight for the pavilion where Yao Qingxuan had lived for many years. He overturned the lampshade, took out the Spiritual Platform Blazing Star Stone Fragment, and stored it in his Glabella Spiritual Realm.

Then, with lightning speed, it rushed back to the array area where the pagoda was located and disappeared into the Blood Mud Space.

To condense the third Psychic Power Stars, one Spiritual Platform Blazing Star Stone Fragment was not enough, so he had to take Yao Qingxuan's.

At the crucial moment when he was gathering his Psychic Power Stars, he couldn't care less about the consequences and could only buy one from the Spirit Grain Hall afterward and put it back.

"It seems that the higher the cultivation level, the more Spiritual Platform Blazing Star Stone Fragment are needed to condense Psychic Power Stars. If I had known this, I should have sold the few Hundred-Character Weapons I had and bought a couple more."

Return to the Tanggu Sea.

Li Weiyi sat on the jade boat, which was more than 30 meters long, and continued to condense the third Psychic Power Stars with the help of the second Spiritual Platform Blazing Star Stone Fragment.

The Fusang Divine Tree Projection behind me, and the two real divine trees at the horizon, reflect each other like a sapling and an old tree, a child and a teacher.

On the sea off Tanggu Sea, the Xihe Flower bloom in vibrant, fiery colors, creating a beautiful and uniquely fragrant environment.

Above the flower, the radiance condensed into streams of light particles, flowing towards Li Weiyi's brow and the Fusang Divine Tree Projection, making his aura increasingly powerful, his entire body crystal clear, like Pure Immortal Body.

"Gurgle!"

"Gulp!"

As time passed, bubbles appeared on the sea surface, and white mist rose.

This is a sign that the Golden Crow is about to rise from the seabed!

If they don't leave in time, Li Weiyi, with his current cultivation level, definitely won't be able to withstand the scorching heat that burns the heavens and boils the seas.

His body remained still, as serene as a celestial mountain, his consciousness contained within, his perception of the outside world hazy, at a crucial moment in condensing the third Psychic Power Stars.

Behind him, the Fusang Divine Tree Projection, towering over ten zhang tall, grew thicker and its branches and leaves spread out, continuously growing taller and larger.

The divine tree's light and shadow breathed continuously.

The Golden Crow Flame on the leaves are becoming increasingly solid, with both temperature and brightness increasing.

"Gulp!"

The bubbles on the sea surface grew even larger.

The seabed seemed to be on fire, emitting a golden-red glow that turned the seawater into the color of magma.

At this moment, the spiritual light emanating from Li Weiyi became even brighter, and her entire body was enveloped in flames.

"Boom!"

The third Psychic Power Stars condensed successfully amidst the vibrations in the Glabella Spiritual Realm.

A ring of golden-red radiance emanated from Li Weiyi, spreading out for a mile before gradually disappearing.

On the sea, concentric circles of ripples and waves appeared around him.

This is the "One Li of Heaven and Earth" that his mental power can reach!

If it were a martial arts cultivator, being able to cultivate the Dao Heart Manifestation to the point of "One Li of Heaven and Earth" would allow them to be listed in the <Cycle Record> and become an elder of the Twin Rice Cult.

Of course, Li Weiyi is still far from being comparable to those martial arts masters; it can only be said that in terms of perception, he is already on par with them.

This is the advantage of Mind Master!

"Oh no! The Golden Crow is about to fly out of the sea!"

Li Weiyi put away the jade boat, transformed into a human-shaped flame, rushed into the Space Barrier gate, and tumbled into the Blood Mud Space.

"Boom!"

Almost instantly, golden-red light and flames covered the entire Tanggu Sea.

Heat waves and some flames surged in from the Space Barrier gate, landing on Li Weiyi. His robes instantly turned to ashes, leaving only the Blood Handprint Demonic Armor.

The skin burned, but the protective aura and spiritual light did not block it.

Despite the pain all over his body, Li Weiyi stood up, put on an outer robe, and gazed at the Golden Crow soaring into the sky. He felt no fear, but rather excitement, truly feeling his current power.

At this distance, the heat of the Golden Crow gradually began to have little effect on him.

They were already able to put up a fight, albeit with difficulty.

If he were to reach the Dao Seed Realm and further enhance his physical body, he felt he could stand on the Tanggu Sea and withstand the impact of the heatwave.

This is because he and the Golden Crow's true form are separated by thousands, or even tens of thousands of miles.

If one were to get too close to the Golden Crow Flame, they would still be reduced to ashes.

"Once my physical body is strong enough, and I don the Provincial Governor's Official Robe, I will stay directly in the Tanggu Sea. Taking advantage of the Golden Crow's flight, I will absorb the flames of the Xihe Flower on the sea surface, and my Psychic Power Stars will surely grow rapidly."

Only then did Li Weiyi finally calm down and observe the three Psychic Power Stars in the spirit world.

Each of them was several times larger than the stars when they were One-star Mind Master. They were like three golden-red glass balls, operating according to some strange law, with strong, intense and dazzling energy.

"My Psychic Power Spiritual Light, influenced by the Fusang Divine Tree and the Golden Crow, is of the fire attribute. Even without the aid of formations, runes, or other means, it contains destructive offensive power and is fully capable of contending with the Dao Seed Realm at the Third Heaven Seed Realm."

"With the inferior Dao Seed Realm Third Heaven like Ye Nanfeng and Ye Beifeng, I should be able to fight them both, or at least draw, using only my mental power."

Li Weiyi has only just broken through to the next realm, and his three Psychic Power Stars still have a lot of room for improvement.

However, without the Star Day Pill, it's not something that can be done quickly to reach the peak of a three-star Mind Master. It requires a lot of time to accumulate experience, just like other Mind Master.

Unless, of course, he finds the Zen Sea Observing Mist again.

Li Weiyi could also try refining it himself. He had once watched Zen Sea Observing Mist refine the Star Day Pill, so he knew the formula and what materials were needed.

However, the materials for refining the Star Day Pill are extremely expensive.

The Zen Sea Observing Mist crafted twenty-nine coins, costing a total of over one million Spring Coin.

Given Li Weiyi's newly acquired Psychic Power Attainment and limited mental and alchemical skills, it's easy to imagine how low the success rate and how unimaginably high the cost would be if he were to attempt to refine High-grade Dharma Pill right away.

"With the Fusang Divine Tree, the Fusang Divine Tree Meditation Method, Time Cocoon, my accumulation speed is far faster than other three-star Mind Master."

"Breaking through the barrier is the real challenge."

"Reaching the fourth-level Mind Master level is a major hurdle, not easily overcome. Right now, I need to find a way to earn more money to buy more Spiritual Platform Blazing Star Stone Fragment and materials for refining Star Day Pill."

"Yang Qingxi knows that Wang Shu is not someone to be trifled with, yet she still gets involved in this mess. It seems that the Fourth Divine Son must possess something extraordinary that has greatly tempted her."

Li Weiyi decided that after rescuing Qi Xiao and Tuoba Butuo, he would focus his cultivation on martial arts, and complete the cultivation of the Seventh Sea as soon as possible to achieve enlightenment.

Thinking of this, he took out the Dao Fruit whose magical energy had not yet been fully released, along with the newly purchased Spring Fluid.

Expanding the Seventh Sea to 30,000 square meters completely depleted the Dharma energy within the Dao Fruit.

Next, he completely immersed himself in refining his magical energy and consolidating the three Psychic Power Stars.

The six little creatures, who had consumed the Dragon Seed, the Xihe Flower, and the Heavenly Origin Ganoderma, lay prone on the ground, their bodies enveloped in flames, occasionally emitting low, sharp cries that could pierce gold and split stone.

Such a cry doesn't sound like that of a moth or butterfly; it sounds more like the call of a phoenix or Phoenix bird.

Great Phoenix flew to Li Weiyi's shoulder and whispered something urgently in his ear.

"You mean their transformation went wrong?" Li Weiyi asked solemnly.

Great Phoenix nodded and told Li Weiyi that the six little ones had taken too long to transform, almost three days had passed, and their auras were not getting stronger; instead, they were becoming more and more listless, as if they were about to fall into a deep sleep.

This did not happen during its metamorphosis.

Li Weiyi took it seriously, walked towards the six little ones, carefully examined their internal conditions, and used his telekinesis to communicate with them.

"It's not serious, but it's gradually falling into a deep sleep."

"Could it be because they don't have enough resources and need to enter a dormant state to slowly complete the metamorphosis process?"

Li Weiyi has been reading books related to insect control and has a detailed understanding of the feeding, growth, molting, dormancy, and control of strange insects.

After all, six of them were attempting to break through to the Dao Seed Realm together, so dividing half a Heavenly Origin Ganoderma equally was indeed not enough.

After thinking for a moment, he took out the Dao Fruit that had released all its magical energy and placed it in front of the six little ones.

At first, the six little ones only took a bite here and there, but gradually they all perked up and pounced on it, chasing after the Dao Fruit like six moths playing football.

Before long, the essence of the Great Dao, which only experts above the Seventh Heaven the Dao Seed Realm could cultivate, was completely devoured by them.

Li Weiyi sighed softly. This Dao Fruit was worth a million Spring Coin, the most valuable thing he could sell.

Fortunately, after the Dao Fruit was distributed, the six little ones regained their energy, and their physical transformation became drastic.

Each one had phantom images of dragons and phoenixes on its body, Dragon Roar emanating from its body, and phoenix cries emanating from its mouth.

The Dragon Roar originates from dragon seed and dragon bones.

The cry of the phoenix is clearly the origin of their own bloodline.

Such a transformation process was too miraculous; no wonder Tang Wanzhou suspected that they were not at the Marquis-level.

The fourth day after capturing Ye Nanfeng and Ye Beifeng.

Li Weiyi stepped out of the array's Light Veil, followed the blood lake, and arrived at the main hall of the Southern Clear Palace.

Ye Nanfeng, Ye Beifeng, and Zuo Sheng's injuries to their limbs have improved. With their cultivation at the Dao Seed Realm, as long as their magical energy is not sealed, even broken bones can be healed quickly.

The three of them had many new wounds.

Ye Beifeng suffered the worst; his tongue was cut off, and the flesh and blood of all five fingers on his right hand were removed, leaving only bones.

The three looked at Yang Qingxi, who stood with her hands behind her back, with fear and dread. They felt that "femme fatale" was not enough to describe her; her methods were both clever and ruthless.

Ye Nanfeng and Ye Beifeng were separated and interrogated in two different places. Ye Beifeng was accused of lying, so she cut off his tongue and sliced off pieces of flesh from his right hand.

Ye Nanfeng, on the other hand, received the reward of "healing the injuries to her hands and feet".

After that, the three men answered all her questions without reservation, never again daring to conceal or deceive her.

The three Dao Seed Realm experts from the heretical cult, who were ruthless killers and formidable figures, were completely subdued by her.

Upon seeing Li Weiyi appear, Yang Qingxi's eyes, visible above her veil, were filled with displeasure. "Where have you been? I went in to look for you and called out to you, but received no response. You've wasted too much time. If Wang Shu manages to condense the Dao Lotus, how can we fight this battle?"

"Now the entire sect knows that you and I are going to compete with Wang Shu. If we lose, I will at most suffer some humiliation and lose face. But you will lose your life."

Li Weiyi said, "If Wang Shu were to break through to the next realm, he would definitely go to the Heavenly Principle Hall immediately to obtain the token to break the formation and storm the Southern Clear Palace to rescue people. Since he hasn't come, it means he hasn't yet condensed the Dao Lotus. Miss Yang, have you not yet broken through to the Third Heaven of the Dao Seed Realm?"

Breaking through a cultivation level isn't that easy.

Yang Qingxi knew what Li Weiyi was wary of, and the frost on her face melted away, revealing a charming smile, "Isn't it just that you want a pretext for your actions? I've already interrogated Wang Shu and found at least two major crimes. Ye Nanfeng, you tell me!"

Li Weiyi had long ago realized that the three Dao Seed Realm experts in front of him seemed to have been subdued by Yang Qingxi.

Ye Nanfeng, limping, stepped forward, bowed, and reported, "Wang Shu, in order to obtain cultivation resources, has, to my knowledge, slaughtered seven disciples of the sect."

Ye Nanfeng recounted the details in great detail, including the identities and names of the seven disciples of the Divine Cult, the place and reason for their deaths, and everything else.

It doesn't seem like something Yang Qingxi would have fabricated under severe torture.

"Wang Shu's other crime was that he used his status as the Son of God to embezzle a large amount of the religion's wealth. He frequently went out on missions for this purpose."
