Because it is a place where one can find the "Meditation Flower" and the "Spirit Platform Blazing Star Stone," the Nether Flower Black Swamp is an important place for training and treasure hunting, and many disciples of the Divine Cult come and go along the way.

They often traveled in groups of three or five, mostly in pairs.

Li Weiyi and his two companions wore masks to avoid revealing their whereabouts.

Li Weiyi asked the returning disciples if he could buy the Spiritual Platform Blazing Star Stone Fragment from them on credit.

All attempts ended in failure.

These followers of the Rice Cult were very cautious, as if guarding against thieves; they either kept their distance or claimed they had gained nothing.

If it weren't for the powerful pursuers, Li Weiyi would have loved to use his status as a divine child to stop everyone on the road and inspect each of the boundary bags.

The journey was 500 li (approximately 250 kilometers), rugged and difficult, with many forks in the road and occasional detours to special areas. In the end, it took nearly 1,000 li (approximately 500 kilometers) to complete.

The black mud swamp in front of us emitted a pungent stench, with soft soil and water everywhere.

The air is filled with miasma that has lingered for tens of thousands of years, severely affecting vision.

The swamp is not completely dark; it is filled with bioluminescent plants and luminous insects occasionally fly by.

"The Nether Flower Black Swamp, according to the books, is a vast expanse of a thousand miles, a battlefield from the ancient Bhakara Sect period. It was once extremely glorious, but was reduced to this state in battle."

"Beneath the swamp lie countless buildings and corpses. It is extremely dangerous and bizarre, and even after a thousand years, it has not been completely cleared away."

"A hundred li is considered a relatively safe area. Beyond three hundred li is an absolutely forbidden zone."

Li Weiyi shared the information from the book with the two of them. "We will search separately. If we encounter danger, we will notify each other with a whistling sound. I have personally drawn Divine Speed Talisman, one for each of us."

"Sikong Jingyuan and Yi Zhouxue, and perhaps other enemies, will soon realize they've fallen into a trap and will come looking for us sooner or later. We must be very careful."

"Old Qi, your cultivation is a bit weak, so take this fourth-grade hundred-character artifact Invisibility Cloak and wear it first."

This Invisibility Cloak was given to me by An Xianjing.

The three split up and rushed into the Nether Flower Black Swamp.

Tuoba Butuo and Qi Xiao are both formidable, and having survived the Qianlong Lantern Festival, they possess both mental fortitude and survival skills, making them capable of handling things independently. Therefore, Li Weiyi is not overly worried about their safety.

After rushing into the swamp, Li Weiyi Conceal Qi, changed direction, and headed towards remote and marginal areas. Upon reaching the shore, he was greeted by a mountain range over a thousand meters high.

The mountains were dark and barren, with towering peaks that resembled a giant dragon lying to the east of the Ghost Flower Swamp.

Li Weiyi walked for half a day and found a cave in the mountains. After confirming that no one had been there for many years, he went inside.

On the stone walls of the cave, there are carved Buddha statues, covered with dense ice silk spider webs.

After killing the two spiders, a husband and wife, that were entrenched in the cave, Li Weiyi and used a huge rock to seal the cave entrance tightly.

Still not entirely at ease, he took out the Yellow Dragon Sword and dug a hundred meters into the ground.

Standing deep underground in complete darkness, you can't hear any sound from the surface.

Li Weiyi finally felt relieved and sat down cross-legged to meditate.

"Whoosh!"

The space between his brows lit up.

Particles of light, like swarms of fireflies, flew and drifted underground, illuminating the dark passageways.

These luminous particles surged toward the two eyes of the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish.

One represents the Lesser Yang Star, and the other contains the power of time. Li Weiyi wanted to know what would happen if both were activated together.

Will it return directly to Earth?

"Click-clack!"

The Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish slowly rotates.

After spinning three times, Li Weiyi heard the distant chanting of scriptures and the sound of Daoist hymns, which became clearer and louder, as if another world was approaching.

The space around him became distorted.

The underground scenery gradually blurred.

"Whoosh!"

Countless Daoist and Buddhist scriptures flew out from the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish, circling his body, densely packed, everywhere.

These Daoist and Buddhist texts, extremely profound, transformed into two Sea of Characters, one above his head and the other below him, rotating like a tai chi symbol.

Everything disappeared, Li Weiyi felt as if he were sitting in the void of the universe, traveling among the endless Great Dao.

That's amazing!

His heart was pounding, and he could hardly calm down. He stood up and walked in the ocean of scriptures. With each step he took, the scriptures beneath his feet trembled.

Li Weiyi reached out, trying to grab a Daoist inscription, but it slipped through his fingers.

They couldn't keep them.

He pondered for a moment, then practiced the Jade Void Breathing Technique. His mind gradually calmed, and he regained his clarity of mind. He slowly raised his arms and unleashed the first move of the Chan Sect Twelve Loose Hand Techniques, "Heaven- Overturning Sky Palm Seal."

Then comes the second move, the third move...

They rehearsed it over and over again.

Twelve towering divine figures of Battle Intent appeared in twelve locations within the Sea of Characters.

Their bodies were as large as mountains, sacred and majestic, with Transcendent bearing, and their eyes were full of spirituality and wisdom, as if they possessed life, rather than being just twelve shadows.

Li Weiyi opened her eyes and looked around. Standing before them, she felt as insignificant as dust.

"Could it be that the twelve legendary figures of the Chan Sect actually existed?"

"Their aura is more terrifying than that of the transcendent. If they ever appeared on Earth, where did they go afterward?"

Why do legends remain on Earth?

At this moment, Li Weiyi no longer felt the shock and palpitations he had experienced before. He was able to face the gazes of the twelve divine figures with a calmness that even he found strange.

"Is this still my Battle Intent?"

Li Weiyi stretched out his right hand, his five fingers spread wide, and reached out towards one of the divine figures, a white-haired, youthful-faced being riding a celestial beast, intending to take him into his divine palace.

"Ha ha!"

A deafening roar of laughter erupted, shaking heaven and earth.

That divine figure actually "came to life," stroking his beard and laughing, "Yu Xu waves his hand to shatter all laws, and with one seal, he overturns the heavens and suppresses mountains and rivers."

He unleashed a palm strike, and instantly, a divine seal, countless times larger than Li Weiyi's body, appeared, descending from the sky amidst thunder and lightning, causing space to collapse.

Li Weiyi's expression changed drastically. He didn't collapse in fear, but instead raised his hands to support the sky, steadily holding up the divine seal.

It's been tough, but we can hold on.

Very strange!

From within the divine seal, countless symbols of the Great Dao flew out and condensed into scriptures.

Li Weiyi stared at the scriptures floating before her eyes. She had never seen them before, yet they seemed like characters she had studied since elementary school. They were very familiar, but she just couldn't understand them. It was so frustrating!

"These must be the Dao I touched upon while cultivating the Overturning Sky Palm Seal technique. I must understand them in order to make them my own and condense them into a Dao Seed."

"Boom!"

The divine seal above Li Weiyi's head was cleaved away by a familiar sword.

It's the Yellow Dragon Sword!

The divine figure wielding the Yellow Dragon Sword proclaimed, "A lone crane soars beyond the clouds, its Dao heart indifferent, laughing at the mortal world. Since I cannot comprehend his Dao, I will forge my own Dao seed."

The Yellow Dragon Sword down, and ten thousand dragons took flight.

"Aww!"

Li Weiyi fought against Wanlong but was no match for him, so he had no choice but to use the Yellow Dragon Ascends to Heaven to escape to the heavens.

"The Taiyi Divine Sword severs karma, subdues demons and monsters, and displays compassion."

A divine figure appeared overhead, slashing down with its sword, parting the sea as it came.

Li Weiyi had realized that what he was seeing was not real. He was not fighting against those twelve people, but against their very principles.

He has practiced the Chan Sect Twelve Loose Hand Techniques for many years and possesses the ability to communicate with the twelve Daos.

"I can't dodge; I'll just use whatever move they use."

"Observe! This is a rare learning opportunity. Their techniques are incredibly profound, perhaps even more powerful than imperial techniques."

Li Weiyi was resolute and fearless. He drew the Yellow Dragon Sword, unleashed the Taiyi Opens the Sea, and soared straight into the sky.

With a single slash, he shattered the sword that was parting the sea overhead.

A golden scripture fell into his body and floated in his shrine.

Li Weiyi looked inward at his Shenque acupoint and found that he could actually understand the scripture. It resembled the traces of sword moves, the path of qi circulation, and also had a mysterious feeling that he couldn't explain.

"My sword techniques are stronger than his, so I obtained the symbols of the Great Dao, which condensed into scriptures, allowing me to directly cultivate the Dao."

Li Weiyi's mind Qingming. He knew the reason was that he had spent the most time and effort on the "Taiyi Opens the Sea" move, using it many times in critical situations, and had a deeper understanding of it, so he was able to easily obtain the Dao Seed.

"Since that's the case, then come on! I will take all your paths."

Li Weiyi rushed towards the next divine figure, his aura rising steadily, his mind sharp and his fighting spirit boiling.

Time passed through repeated contemplation and conquest.

Li Weiyi stepped on the jade cauldron's light and shadow, crushing the jade cauldron flying towards him, and obtained the twelfth scripture.

The whole world fell silent.

Within Li Weiyi's Divine Palace, twelve scriptures spun and flew rapidly, causing the liquid magical energy to transform into a vortex. The vortex spread throughout his body, pulling all the magical energy from his seven Qi Sea into the Divine Palace.

The Dharma energy condensed, like a gentle drizzle, turning into a liquid state.

Gradually.

Within the liquid magical energy, the twelve scriptures condensed together, forming a cluster that coalesced into a crystalline and dazzling Dao seed, instantly illuminating the dark and empty Divine Palace even further.

Wherever the light shines, there is a misty aura of Dharma.

To Li Weiyi's surprise, as the Twelve-Character Dao Seed rotated, Tai Chi patterns and swastikas appeared and disappeared, with countless Dao traces.

The cultivation of the Dao at Shenque was successful, and the spring below was covered by liquid magical energy.

"It condensed the Dao Seed, absorbing all seven of my Qi Sea. I wonder if directly mobilizing the liquid Dharma Qi within my Divine Palace to unleash martial arts moves and Dao techniques would be even more powerful?"

Li Weiyi withdrew his mental power, and instantly, the Daoist texts and Buddhist scriptures flew back to the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish.

The distorted space around him returned to normal, and he reappeared in the underground cave.

The emptiness emanating from the seven Qi Sea made Li Weiyi extremely uncomfortable, more painful than being starved for ten days. Therefore, he activated the Buddha's Sarira Fish Eye alone, entered the Blood Mud Space, and went to the Tanggu Sea.

On the sea, Jade Void Breathing Technique to absorb the magical energy between heaven and earth.

During Breathing and Exhaling, the Dharma energy enters from the outside, circulating and condensing around the Twelve-Character Dao Seed of Shenque.

Li Weiyi clearly felt that the level of the Dharma Qi condensed in his Qi Sea had increased significantly, and his physical body was also undergoing a gradual and imperceptible transformation.

Zutian and Fengfu both expanded again.
