Dao Heart Manifestation Reaches a Mile

"The Hidden Person Order: All those at or above the Dao Seed Realm who wish to remain hidden must set aside all worldly affairs and assemble in Lingxiao City before the first day of the twelfth lunar month."

Li Weiyi wrote a second letter, stamped it with the mark of the Hidden Person Order, and had Old Man Zhou deliver it as well.

He had no intention of leaving, even if the city gates were to open in the future.

For my own sake, now that I've chosen to start this battle with the Sui Sect, I'm going to fight it to the end. I'll settle both old and new scores.

Two letters written in blood alone are not enough.

From the perspective of a living, breathing human being, he could not stand idly by and watch as the Demon Race, the Netherworld of the Departed, and the Twin Rice Cult breached Lingxiao City and subsequently swept across the world. That would not just be killing and war, but the slaughter of one race by another.

If the skin is gone, where will the hair attach?

Even with limited cultivation, one can still do what one can. Even if one cannot change the final outcome, at least one can have a clear conscience.

Late at night, Old Zhou returned to the coffin shop, bringing back a reply from Tuoba Butuo.

"Your Highness, rest assured, as long as Tuoba has a breath left, he will bring the blood letter back to the main altar and will not delay important matters. In addition, due to the great changes in the city this morning, Qi Xiao went south, and it is too late to catch up."

Li Weiyi threw the reply into the stove in front of him.

A roaring fire immediately burst into flames in the furnace.

In the firelight, Li Weiyi's face was subject to shifting light and shadow.

Qi Xiao's return to Zuoqiu Courtyard will change many things.

However, as long as the high-ranking members of the Dao Sect believe that the secret of attacking Lingxiao City has been leaked to the Imperial Court by the Sui Sect, it is normal and reasonable for the Zuoqiu Courtyard to learn of the news.

However, in this way, the Rice Cult would probably not delay its attack on Lingxiao City; on the contrary, the sooner the better.

Li Weiyi asked, "Elder Zhou, have you found out the outcome of the battle outside the city this morning involving Longevity Realm?"

Old Zhou shook his head. "It involves Longevity Realm Giants, and the secrets are not something the soldiers below can know. On the way back, I treated some old comrades to drinks, and I heard something important from them."

"Something seems to have happened in the Attendant Hall; it's been surrounded. Deputy General Qiu, Grand Historian Zhang, and some important figures from the Jiang family entered before dark and haven't come out yet."

"Some speculate that the General's Mansion is seeking revenge. If they can find something out from the Attendant Hall, that would be very gratifying."

Li Weiyi nodded slightly.

With all parties involved in the investigation, Yao Qian must be under immense pressure right now.

It's impossible for Jiang Xin to be completely innocent. Once his identity as an "Prefectural Elder" of the cult is confirmed, the only way out for Yao Qian will be to kill him to silence him.

Yao Qian killed the Prefectural Elder.

Before his death, the Prefectural Elder secretly wrote a letter in blood and sent it out in advance.

This blood-written letter carries immense weight, enough to increase its significance several times over.

This is exactly what Li Weiyi wanted to achieve!

Li Weiyi said, "Next, we'll have to trouble Elder Zhou to investigate the situation at the Attendant Hall. But please don't go looking for information yourself!"

"Don't worry, Hidden Person, I have comrades-in-arms. Tonight, I'll be working on a case in the Attendant Hall with Deputy General Qiu. We'll get the most accurate information. There's no need to ask around. They've been friends for decades, and they'll tell you themselves over drinks," said Old Man Zhou.

Li Weiyi said, "I'm afraid I'll have to stay here with you for the next few days."

Old Zhou looked embarrassed. "I've always lived alone, my house is a mess, and there are dead bodies everywhere in the yard. I'm afraid the Hidden Person won't be used to it."

"I'm not that particular! There's a cellar in the backyard, I can hide there."

Upon entering the cellar, Li Weiyi used a coffin as a makeshift bed. He then took out array flags and set up an array.

Only then did he sit cross-legged, activate the Buddha's Sarira, and enter the Blood Mud Space.

"Tang Wanzhou, Tang Wanzhou..."

Li Weiyi crouched down in front of Tang Wanzhou, trying her best to wake her up. With the help of this Northern Territory Young Lord, she would be able to face the enraged Yao Qian more calmly.

She remained completely still.

Li Weiyi really wanted to take action, but ultimately held back, fearing another counterattack.

It's better to rely on yourself than on others.

Li Weiyi took out two Thousand-Year Elixir from Fairy Xu's bag and fed them to the Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors.

They are all currently at the Third Heaven the Dao Seed Realm, and each of them possesses combat power comparable to a powerful cultivator at the Fourth Heaven. A cultivator at the Fourth Heaven has condensed a Dao Lotus, making them impossible for ordinary inheritors to defeat.

The Fourth Heaven of the realm was equally difficult for the Seven Little Ones.

However, once you cross that threshold, your realm and combat power will increase dramatically, and you will be able to fight against someone at the Sixth Heaven the Inferior Root Dao Seed Realm.

With seven of them working together, even Dao Seed Realm Sixth Heaven inheritor would probably have to flee.

The Seven Little Ones were frantically devouring the two Thousand-Year Elixir. Li Weiyi took out a small piece of Four-Colored Immortal Moss and put it in his mouth. Instantly, a faint four-colored radiance appeared on his whole body, and a fragrant aroma filled the air.

Before reaching the Dao Seed Realm, he had already refined two catties of Immortal Soil.

Consuming the Four-Colored Immortal Moss is much easier than directly refining Immortal Soil. Right now, Li Weiyi has essentially refined four catties of Immortal Soil.

The strength of his internal organs and muscles is sufficient to support him in close combat with martial artists of a higher realm.

This is one of the reasons why he was able to fight against the Silver Winged Great Sage, who was at the Fifth Heaven level of the Dao Seed Realm of the Second Heaven.

However, physical cultivation also involves blood and qi, bones, and tendons and skin, and Li Weiyi is still far from achieving these three aspects.

Blood Qi cultivation relies on the blood Qi and blood crystals of the Lesser Yang Star.

The cultivation of the Great Perfection Golden Bone technique relied on the Golden Spring obtained in the Immortal Burial Town.

To refine tendons and shape skin, rely on the Divine Stove Wood.

Resources are not lacking for the time being, but without the rare Four-Colored Immortal Moss, the speed of body refinement will naturally be much slower.

"Other martial arts practitioners focus on cultivating their realm, with breaking through to immortality as their primary goal. Therefore, their realm often precedes their physical body. This is especially true for the young prodigies of the Dragon Clan, whose realms advance too quickly, making their physical bodies their constant weakness."

"My strength lies in my physical body, which has always been ahead of my cultivation level; in fact, my cultivation level has become my weakness. From now on, I must prioritize enlightenment."

"The Time Cocoon has given me five times the cultivation time. I only need to consume the Four-Colored Immortal Moss and Golden Spring as usual for my physical body to improve rapidly."

"First, use the Four-Colored Immortal Moss to shape the internal organs and muscles, reaching a level comparable to refining ten pounds of Immortal Soil, and a tremendous transformation will surely occur."

Li Weiyi withdrew from the Blood Mud Space and simultaneously activated his two fish eyes to enter the ocean of scriptures of the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish, continuing to cultivate the Divine Que Dao Seed.

The Divine Que Dao Seed already contains seventy scriptures.

After spending three days, he comprehended another scripture, bringing his total to seventy-one.

Just as the seventy-first scripture was imprinted onto the Dao Seed, the surrounding magical energy rippled slightly. Even the liquid magical power below rippled.

This is a sign that excitement is about to begin!

Li Weiyi was overjoyed and pressed on with her efforts.

Sometimes, one can gain insight through observation.

Sometimes, they practice the Chan Sect Twelve Loose Hand Techniques, causing the twelve divine images of their Battle Intent to appear at the edge of the ocean of scriptures, allowing them to duel with the opponents and gain insights during the battle.

Two more days have passed.

"Whoosh!"

The seventy-second scripture appeared on the Divine Que Dao Seed.

As it rotates, the Tai Chi pattern and swastika light and shadow appear, the energy vibrates, and the ripples expand.

The real fluttering began.

Li Weiyi immediately left the Ocean of Scriptures and took a boat to the Tanggu Sea.

The tremor of the Divine Que Dao Seed was even more intense than that of the Wind Mansion Dragon Seed. With each tremor, the magical energy throughout the body was cleansed.

The Trace Meridians, the wiry veins, and the physical body all pulsated with the Dao seed, transmitting a feeling of pain that was further intensifying.

With each advancement in the Dao Seed Realm, the physical body will also strengthen.

Cultivating the physical body was a crucial time that could not be missed. Li Weiyi immediately took out all the Golden Spring, Four-Colored Immortal Moss, High-grade Blood Crystal, and Divine Stove Wood, consuming what needed to be consumed and refining what needed to be refined.

Within the Divine Palace, the seventy-two scriptures on the Dao Seed flickered and floated, with celestial radiance flowing. Twelve divine figures appeared, like towering divine mountains in twelve directions.

"Boom!"

On the Tanggu Sea, the Dao Heart Manifestation erupted from Li Weiyi's body.

The celestial clouds that washed over the divine palace transformed into a sky full of clear light, spreading across the sea and covering an area of about one mile.

The Second Heaven the Dao Seed Realm is the external manifestation of Dali.

Only those who have reached the Fourth Heaven the Dao Seed Realm can achieve this.

Normal martial arts cultivation requires the Fifth Heaven the Dao Seed Realm.

The twelve divine figures, each tens of meters tall, stood proudly at the twelve positions on the jade boat.

Their bodies shone with divine light, their forms were solid, and their hair and beards shimmered with light. With a thought from Li Weiyi, the Chan Sect Twelve Loose Hand Techniques were unleashed by them simultaneously.

There were divine figures wielding swords, divine figures darting and soaring, divine figures waving their palms...

All twelve moves were unleashed simultaneously, and even a movement technique like the Clear Void Cicada Evasion Step was incredibly powerful, capable of charging and crashing through opponents.

"If this move is used, wouldn't it be equivalent to twelve of me attacking at the same time?"

Li Weiyi's heart was pounding as he pondered what level of enemy he could severely injure with this move. Suddenly, due to the severe depletion of his magical energy, a feeling of weakness washed over him, his vision blurred, and he nearly collapsed backward.

"Using the Dao Heart Manifestation in battle is already quite taxing on one's magical energy."

"Controlling Twelve Divine Shadows to attack together would be incredibly powerful, but the energy expenditure is simply beyond what my current cultivation level can withstand."

"The Divine Que Dao Seed needs to be hidden, and so should the Dao Heart Manifestation. He's only at the Second Heaven the Dao Seed Realm, yet his Dao Heart Manifestation has already reached a certain level. If people knew this, would he really be allowed to repeat the scene of being crippled again? Who would believe that?"

Li Weiyi quickly withdrew his Dao Heart Manifestation, and all the clear radiance dissipated and vanished.

He sat cross-legged at the bow of the boat, Breathing and Exhaling to restore the severely depleted spiritual energy within his body.

Introspectively examine the Shenque acupoint.

"Twelve characters plant the Dao, seventy-two characters stir the heart."

"How many scriptures would one need to comprehend to reach the third level of the Dao Seed Realm, Dao Life?"

Li Weiyi silently calculated.

As his understanding of Daoist texts and Buddhist scriptures deepened, his comprehension speed increased significantly. He could comprehend a scripture of his own in just two or three days.

On the path of the Tao, we persevere step by step.

It's still too slow. Even if it takes a year, you can only comprehend a little over a hundred scriptures, and you might not even be able to Dao Birth.

We must find a way to discover the true scriptures of Daoism and Buddhism.

Taking advantage of this breakthrough in his cultivation level, his physical body improved significantly. In particular, he absorbed the Four-Colored Immortal Moss extremely quickly, comparable to refining half a pound of Immortal Soil.

Li Weiyi could see that his internal organs were filled with ethereal mist, and his muscle strength had greatly increased.

"At each realm, I can essentially break through twice, which is extremely beneficial for improving my physical body. I will definitely be able to cultivate the Longevity Body at the Dao Seed Realm; it's just a matter of at which realm I complete it."

"Gurgle!"

"Gulp!"

Bubbles and white mist rose from the sea.

A crimson-gold radiance appeared on the seabed, signaling the imminent soaring of the Golden Crow.

Li Weiyi showed no intention of leaving by boat. He stood up and looked at the Fusang Divine Tree at the end of the sea, his mind at peace.

This time, he is prepared to confront Golden Crow Guanghua head-on.

Relax your whole body and close your eyes to meditate.

"Whoosh!"

The Fusang Divine Tree Projection appeared, enveloping his body. Instantly, his skin was illuminated as if he were a Pure Immortal Body, radiating divine light, like a deity sailing on the sea.

"Splash!"

Thousands of miles away, the Golden Crow spreads its wings and emerges from the sea, its wings resembling two golden clouds, stirring up towering waves.

Not only was the sea boiling, but the air was boiling too.

The first wave of light and heat quickly struck the Fusang Divine Tree Projection. The light and shadow flickered and became blurred.

The jade boat below was thrown into the distance by the impact.
