Soul Merging Secret Technique

"Such keen perception."

The moment Li Weiyi and Phoenix-born Unicorn-young locked eyes across the array, he immediately fled.

A moment later, Phoenix-born Unicorn-young walked out of the courtyard, followed by Long Ting, Long Xiangcen, Chen Wenwu and several other figures, preparing to leave the city and head to the Thirty-Six Tombs of Lei.

Upon reaching the ancient plum tree, Phoenix-born Unicorn-young stopped and peered into the branches.

"Young Venerable, what's wrong?" Long Ting asked.

Li Weiyi was extremely careful, leaving no trace whatsoever; even the snow piled on the branches remained intact.

Phoenix-born Unicorn-young gently shook his head and smiled, "The white plum blossoms on the branches are blooming so beautifully! In winter, when everything is withered, only they bloom with moving vitality. If we don't stop to appreciate them and only rush about, life will definitely miss out on a lot of wonderful moments."

"Am I not prettier than it?"

Long Xiangcen spoke in a sweet, gentle voice, not at all like a powerful inheritor who had been famous for twenty years, but rather like a young girl just beginning to experience love.

"They're both beautiful; each has its own unique charm."

Phoenix-born Unicorn-young led the group away quickly. As they walked, each person used their own methods: some changed their appearance, some wore masks, and others activated talismans to conceal their appearance and aura.

Li Weiyi stood atop a seven-story clock tower, leaning against a wooden pillar, watching them walk out of the Heavenly Pavilion.

I didn't keep a constant eye on them, lest they become alert again.

"Lu Cangsheng has actually returned!"

Li Weiyi's mind drifted to the images of Hidden Nine, Yao Yin, Jiang Ning, Zuoqiu Hongting, and Shi Shishi, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips. He longed to know their experiences and stories at the Du'e Temple, how far their cultivation had progressed, and whether Yao Yin had grown into a stunning beauty like Yao Qingxuan...

Two years have passed, Li Weiyi's longing for him has grown stronger, yet she doesn't know how to face him if they actually meet again.

As the Fourth Divine Son of the Rice Cult? As Yao Qingxuan's Head Disciple? Or as the dejected and defeated Li Weiyi?

He let out a breath and sighed softly.

A fierce battle is inevitable at the Thirty-Six Tombs of Lei. Li Weiyi is eager to join in the fun and see the current cultivation levels of Phoenix-born Unicorn-young, Lu Cangsheng, Long Ting, and others, and whether there is a chance to eliminate Phoenix-born Unicorn-young and Long Ting.

But reason told him that this excitement must be dangerous.

What gives Phoenix-born Unicorn-young the audacity to come to Leiling City?

What gave them the audacity to attempt to assassinate Lu Cangsheng?

This is a good opportunity to explore the courtyard.

Li Weiyi's appearance and figure changed rapidly. Her skin transformed into the Pure Immortal Body, and in an instant, she became Long Ting, elegant and noble, with cold and sharp eyes.

"Whoosh!"

He pointed a finger at the fourth-grade Invisibility Cloak hundreds of characters, and more than four hundred scriptures appeared on his body.

The scripture was retracted, and the style of the robe instantly changed back to what Long Ting had just worn.

He walked to the courtyard entrance in the style of Long Ting.

The formation opened from the inside.

"Long Ting, why are you back again?"

The Demon Race martial artist, disguised as a middle-aged man, stood respectfully at the door and asked curiously.

Li Weiyi walked in with his hands behind his back, his gaze falling on the area in the southwest corner where the coffins were placed. As he walked, he said, "Young Venerable was worried and asked me to come back and check again, just in case something unexpected happens after we leave."

Four Demon Race warriors remained in the courtyard.

They wore Talisman Robe that could conceal their Yao Qi and allow them to transform into human form; they were all experts at the Dao Seed Realm level.

The middle-aged Demon Cultivator followed closely behind, saying, "Long Ting Longting, please rest assured, they are all undergoing soul fusion and should wake up in the next couple of days."

Li Weiyi was secretly alarmed, for he had seen an explanation of the Soul Merging Secret Technique at the Rice Cult's headquarters.

It is a method used by powerful spirits from the Netherworld of the Departed who wish to enter the human realm to cultivate, hunt, play, or explore.

By capturing a living person and merging one's own spirit with their soul, one can achieve perfect concealment.

The spiritual strength of a deceased person must far surpass that of a living person to achieve this.

If the thirty coffins before him contained the thirty Imperial Court Dao Seed Realm Martial Cultivator that Phoenix-born Unicorn-young, where did he find so many powerful deceased cultivators?

At the Qianlong Lantern Festival, there were indeed spirits of the dead under the banner of Phoenix-born Unicorn-young. Later, Zuoqiu Courtyard discovered that those spirits came from three of the 272 states that were swallowed up by the Netherworld of the Departed a thousand years ago.

Li Weiyi had some understanding of the distribution of forces in the Netherworld of the Netherworld of the Departed around the Lingxiao Shengjing, which he learned from Yang Qingchan when he was trapped in the secret treasure vault.

Of the 272 states of that time, they were located on the edge of the Netherworld of the Departed in relation to the Lingxiao Shengjing.

In what was once the capital city, 272 ghost cities, demon caves, and Bone Mansion were built, and the internal warfare was incessant, with killings even more intense than in the Lingxiao Shengjing.

Kirin Zhuang either subdued some powerful figures in the Netherworld and brought them under his command, or he cooperated with some of these figures to jointly attack Lingxiao.

The Ash Region of the Far West, the Netherworld of the Departed, the Demon Race, the Rice Cult—just thinking about them made Li Weiyi feel as if dark clouds were gathering overhead, a sense of oppression as if the sky were about to collapse and the earth were about to crumble.

The thirty coffins before us are merely the responsibility of the younger generation, Phoenix-born Unicorn-young.

What are those old Demon Race doing now?

No wonder Phoenix-born Unicorn-young dared to come to Leiling City. Perhaps the Demon Race had already made thorough preparations, and Cloud Heaven Immortal Plain and Lingxiao City were already fish on their chopping block.

"Whoosh!"

Li Weiyi pushed open one of the coffins.

The coffin was filled with a malevolent aura.

An Old Man with gray hair lay inside, and a malevolent aura emanated from his ancestral field, the fluctuations of his magical energy as strong as the continuous resounding of a divine drum.

He was an extremely powerful expert of the Imperial Court, at least at the Sixth Heaven the Dao Seed Realm.

It is not dead, its heart is beating actively, and it has a strong vitality.

Confirming his suspicions, Li Weiyi felt a chill run down his spine. Before him stood thirty terrifying experts of the dead. If they were alerted and leaped out of their coffins, the consequences would be unimaginable.

We must not act rashly.

Leave first!

Li Weiyi sensed danger and, before he could turn around, noticed a sixth person in the courtyard. The extra person was standing at the gate.

A faint fragrance reached my nose.

Li Weiyi remained calm and slowly turned around, raising his eyes to look at Long Xiangcen, who was dressed in a beautiful dress.

Large swathes of her snow-white skin were exposed, her arms and legs were bare, completely unaware of the winter chill. Her jade-like fingers supported her chin as she smiled and examined "Long Ting" standing beside the coffin.

Li Weiyi finally had the opportunity to examine her closely.

In terms of beauty, Long Xiangcen possesses the combined qualities of Pure Immortal Body and Demon Race, giving her a remarkable figure with an alluring cleavage, translucent skin, and fluffy yet neat hair.

Li Weiyi muttered to himself, "It seems I underestimated Phoenix-born Unicorn-young's caution and vigilance."

Long Xiangcen smiled, her teeth white and lips moist. "Ugh, this is so annoying! Aren't you scared at all? I thought I could give you a big scare."

"What man is afraid of a beautiful woman? With a face like Miss Long's, I can't get enough of admiring her." Li Weiyi is no longer the same as before; he can deal with sudden dangers with more ease and confidence.

Long Xiangcen was amused by him and laughed, "You have such a sweet tongue, I can't bear to kill you! You actually know me?"

"Of course, that older successor of the Dragon Gate!" Li Weiyi said.

Long Xiangcen vanished instantly, replaced by a frosty expression. "I'll cut your tongue to pieces, one slice at a time."

The other four demons in the courtyard had already sensed something was wrong. They each took out their magical artifacts and, with hostile eyes, slowly moved towards Li Weiyi to surround her.

When the "Long Ting" appeared, they had some doubts, but dared not offend it.

"What about the Phoenix-born Unicorn-young?" Li Weiyi asked.

Long Xiangcen said, "Am I not enough for myself?"

Phoenix-born Unicorn-young was unsure whether someone had actually been spying on them, so he only sent Long Xiangcen back to check.

"Miss Long, are you sure you want to make your move at the Heavenly Pavilion? If the things here are discovered by the Imperial Court, if the Imperial Court finds out about your secret here, you probably won't be able to escape Leiling City alive!"

Li Weiyi appeared calm, but in reality, she was on edge, observing her surroundings and searching for a way to break through.

A successor who made a name for himself twenty years ago—who dares to underestimate him?

"You're so concerned about my safety? You're actually a pretty good person!"

A smile played on Long Xiangcen's lips as his Dao Heart Manifestation outwardly.

Instantly, the entire courtyard was enveloped in crimson magical energy, with countless demonic shadows and illusions.

"Boom! Boom..."

The other four powerful Demon Race members also released their Dao Heart Manifestation, pressing down on Li Weiyi layer by layer.

As if five mountains were falling and countless chains were binding him, Li Weiyi knew that this battle was inevitable. So, he took out the golden mask of the smiling Buddha given to him by Yao Qingxuan and put it on his face to conceal the fluctuations of his power.

Upon seeing the mask, Long Xiangcen's eyes showed surprise. "So it was you. Interesting. It seems Zuo Ning isn't your true identity either. Who exactly are you?"

Li Weiyi wore this mask on the post boat.

Long Xiangcen was a discerning person; she could tell that Li Weiyi was wearing a mask at this moment to conceal her aura of power.

Li Weiyi didn't want to fight here; many of his techniques were useless, making him feel too restricted. If he could break through and lure Taishi Bai here, he could inflict heavy damage on the Demon Race.

Five mental forces pressed down, attempting to suppress him and force him to his knees.

"Boom!"

Li Weiyi made a hand seal, unleashing a burst of Psychic Power Spiritual Light to block the Intent Attack of the five masters.

The fivefold Dao Heart Manifestation was still applied to him, suppressing Li Weiyi's strength, speed, and reaction, as if he were trapped in a swamp.

On the left, a powerful Demon Race expert at the Fourth Heaven Dao Seed Realm wielded two axes and slashed down.

Countless scriptures appeared on the axe, releasing dazzling light.

Li Weiyi stepped back, dodging one of the axe blows, and raised his palm to strike the other.

"Bang!"

Golden Crow Flame enveloped his palm, and magical energy surged within his body. His palm strike was powerful, producing a resounding clang like metal.

The Demon Cultivator at the Fourth Heaven of the Dao Seed Realm originally thought Li Weiyi was a Mind Master, but he never expected his palm strike to be so powerful, striking the magic weapon with his bare hands. He couldn't even hold the axe, and his five fingers were in excruciating pain.

The battle axe flew out.

"Bang!"

He was kicked away by Li Weiyi, smashing the octagonal glazed pavilion in the distance.

Li Weiyi was very curious about his current pure martial arts combat strength and had long wanted to find someone to practice with. Unfortunately, he dared not use the Dao Heart Manifestation for the time being, as doing so would expose the secret of the Wind Mansion Dragon Seed. He also dared not use the Blood Handprint Demonic Armor...

In short, it's restrictive and restrictive.

"I never expected that you would not only possess such remarkable telekinetic abilities, but also such profound martial arts cultivation. There aren't many people like you."

Long Xiangcen moved slowly, carefully observing the battle between Li Weiyi and the four Demon Race experts, and then her mind stirred.

Instantly, the phantoms in her Dao Heart Manifestation solidified into countless Demon Cultivators, their killing cries shaking the heavens and earth, engulfing Li Weiyi.

"Whoosh!"

The Staff Spear of All Things flew out from the ancestral field, propelled by Li Weiyi's spiritual light.

With a thunderous roar, the ten-foot-long spear was swung out, its crimson flames soaring into the sky, sending all the illusions and the four Demon Race experts flying. Two of the Demon Race experts were covered in blood, their flesh torn open by the spearhead, their defenses broken.

Li Weiyi made a fingerprint and opened the Heavenly Eye his eyebrows.
