Five-Star Mind Master
Li Weiyi hesitated for a long time before sighing, "If the Silver Winged Great Sage and the others hadn't wanted to harm Qianqian, why would I have risked taking action? Since ancient times, the trials of love have been the hardest to overcome!"
"Because of Qin Qian."
Long Xiangcen's almond-shaped eyes lit up, showing great interest.
Li Weiyi nodded, then asked in surprise, "You know her?"
"The Eastern Territory Dragon Gate and the Lei Xiao Sect used to have a very deep friendship, advancing and retreating together. That girl from the Qin Family, she should call me aunt. Didn't she tell you that her mother's surname is Long?" Long Xiangcen asked.
Li Weiyi wasn't sure if Long Xiangcen was testing her, so she didn't dare answer directly, "Who knew that the internal relationships of your powerful clans were such a mess? Aunt, if you can help with this matter, Zuo Ning will be at your beck and call from now on. She... she seems to be deeply in love with Lu Cangsheng. I've put in so much effort, but haven't achieved anything."
Long Xiangcen only believed a fraction of what he said. She stepped barefoot from the bed, her fragrance wafting as she approached him, straddling his lap near his waist, the sensation distinct. She said, "What's the point of a little girl like you? So utterly unromantic. I'm not leaving tonight..."
Her slender, boneless hands reached out to wrap around the back of Li Weiyi's head and neck.
But they were immobilized by the Immobilization Talisman.
Li Weiyi pinched her five fingers together and grabbed her slender, sexy neck.
"Smack!"
Long Xiangcen shattered the Immobilization Talisman in an instant, then Dragon Gate Capture Technique to grab Li Weiyi's wrist with her claws.
With his other hand, as fast as lightning, he formed a sword-like finger and thrust it down towards Li Weiyi's lower abdomen, near the ancestral temple.
Li Weiyi grabbed her wrist, used his waist and abdomen to push himself up, and tried to use the momentum to knock her away.
Unexpectedly, Long Xiangcen's legs wrapped around his waist like vines, and she murmured seductively at close range, "You hurt me!"
The two men each grabbed one of the other's wrists, one standing and the other entwined.
If outsiders see this, even with a hundred mouths, it will be difficult to explain clearly.
Long Xiangcen's brows gradually furrowed.
The pain in his wrist was intense, as if Li Weiyi was about to snap it in two.
Neither dared to use their magical energy or mental power, so it was a contest of physical strength and power.
In terms of physical strength, Li Weiyi was in no way inferior to her. It was just that in terms of cultivation, he was far inferior to her by many realms.
"What a powerful physique! I initially suspected you were the Hidden Person from the Jiu Li Hidden Gate at the Qianlong Lantern Festival, but now it seems more likely you're a hundred-year-old demon. Is your composure due to old age and lack of strength the reason you remain unmoved by temptation?"
Long Xiangcen's forehead was already drenched in sweat. "Let go together and continue to hold each other captive. I can only use my magical energy."
"Good!"
Li Weiyi couldn't take it anymore; the bones in her wrist were about to shatter.
The two slowly loosened their fingers...
The next instant, the two long legs wrapped around her waist unleashed tremendous power, causing Li Weiyi to lose her balance and tumble to the ground.
Li Weiyi had already guessed that she wouldn't behave, so he pressed his palm against the ground for leverage and grabbed her tail with his other hand.
Long Xiangcen cried out in pain, letting out a low scream. Her legs automatically parted from her waist, and Li Weiyi grabbed her by the tail and threw her out the door, where she fell into the pond in the courtyard.
"Thump!"
Long Xiangcen, soaked to the bone, leaped out of the water, his eyes blazing with murderous intent, ready to strike again.
"You old bastard, this isn't over..." She sensed something, and with a flash, disappeared into the night.
Just now, the commotion from falling into the water was quite loud, alarming several of the nearby guests, who all came to inquire about the situation.
Li Weiyi laughed and said, "It's nothing! It's nothing... It was just a starving stray cat trying to steal some food, we've already dealt with it."
After seeing off his retainers, Li Weiyi immediately released Qifeng to track down Long Xiangcen.
At the same time, the Second Phoenix were released so that the phoenix could remember their scent.
Long Xiangcen's visit to probe the situation revealed a lot of information.
First, the Demon Race does indeed have limited understanding of the Rice Cult's internal workings.
Secondly, since Long Xiangcen and Phoenix-born Unicorn-young have maintained communication, it is very likely that Phoenix-born Unicorn-young sent her to test the waters.
Li Weiyi had deliberately revealed that he killed the Silver Winged Great Sage and the others for Qin Qian's sake, intending to arouse Long Xiangcen's suspicion that he was Li Weiyi. In Li Weiyi's view, this secret could be exposed.
As Long Xiangcen was leaving, she deliberately called out "old geezer," but this was merely to lull Li Weiyi into a false sense of security and lower his guard.
After she receives the results, she will likely go to see Phoenix-born Unicorn-young.
Li Weiyi returned to his room and looked at the broken Immobilization Talisman on the floor. "With my current cultivation level, the Immobilization Talisman I drew is not enough to immobilize her. If I were a five-star Mind Master, and had another excellent opportunity like tonight, I would definitely capture her."
Before long, Qi Feng returned to report.
"After entering the General's Mansion, you went back to your room?" Li Weiyi was surprised; this result was beyond his expectations.
Did Phoenix-born Unicorn-young not risk entering Nanyan Pass?
Or...
Have you already gone to Cloud Heaven Immortal Plain?
"Phoenix-born Unicorn-young dared to venture into Qiuzhou City at a young age, but he didn't dare to enter Lingxiao City. That's not like him. Oh well, maybe I'm overthinking it."
Li Weiyi instructed Qi Feng to continue keeping an eye on the General's Mansion, and to report back immediately if Long Xiangcen went out. Then, he activated the Time Cocoon to refine the Xihe Pill and comprehend the Dragon Seed.
Three days later.
Half a month had passed within the Time Cocoon, Li Weiyi had finally reached the peak of a four-star Mind Master.
He immediately boarded a boat and headed to the Tanggu Sea.
They prepared to use the radiance of the Golden Crow to break through to a higher realm and condense their fifth Psychic Power Stars.
On the sea, Li Weiyi sat at the bow of the boat and took out the Spirit Platform Blazing Star Stone, which was about the size of a walnut.
This one piece alone is equivalent to a hundred fragments.
"It only took one Psychic Power Stars to condense the second one."
"To condense the third one, two pieces were used."
"To condense the fourth one, four pieces were used. Adding the two pieces wasted due to two failed attempts, that makes six pieces in total."
"To condense the fifth one, it would probably require ten pieces."
Li Weiyi took out the Yellow Dragon Sword and began to divide it. It was very hard, but he could still cut it. It split directly into one hundred pieces, which were slightly larger than the small fragments he had seen before, and contained more energy.
Afterwards, he faced the Fusang Divine Tree and meditated to recover the mental energy that had been severely depleted in the spirit world, so as to quickly return to his optimal state.
At the level of a four-star Mind Master, he can only maintain the Time Cocoon for half a month at a time, which is equivalent to three days outside. If he can successfully break through to the Time Cocoon will definitely last for a longer period of time.
This wasn't the first time they had gathered Psychic Power Stars; everything was proceeding as planned.
The first attempt ended in failure.
A piece of Spirit Platform Blazing Star Stone was wasted.
As Li Weiyi had anticipated.
The higher the realm, the more difficult it is to condense the Psychic Power Stars using treasures.
Other Mind Master often need to immerse themselves in the peak realm for several months or even years before they can successfully condense Psychic Power Stars.
Time passed.
The fourth condensation finally stabilized the Psychic Power Stars in the spirit realm. The five stars connected and attracted each other, opening the Glabella Spiritual Realm and frantically absorbing the Golden Crow's radiance, transforming into a crimson-gold vortex.
At that moment, the Golden Crow was rising from the seabed.
A crimson-gold radiance illuminated the heavens and the earth, merging the sea and sky into one color, and all energy was continuously drawn into his body.
"Whoosh!"
A wave of intensely hot light erupted from Li Weiyi's body, spreading for five miles and creating a giant wave as tall as two people.
When the telekinetic perception extended five miles away, it began to become blurry.
At the level of a three-star Mind Master, one's mental power can only reach a distance of one mile.
The mental power that can reach five miles is completely different from the Dao Heart Manifestation of a martial arts practitioner.
Their abilities are much weaker; their only strength lies in their perception.
For a martial arts practitioner to project their Dao Heart Manifestation to a distance of five miles, they would normally need to condense Dao Fruit and reach the Seventh Heaven. Of course, this doesn't apply to Celestial Person.
Of course, having strong perception has many advantages.
For example, you can sense in advance if someone's thoughts are directed at you.
For example, one can use telekinesis to influence a martial artist's perception, causing them to have illusions and thus better conceal themselves.
When fighting an enemy of similar strength, the key is to win their mind, sense their strength first, seize the advantage of timing and location, rely on experience and determination, and only then should you engage in a battle of raw power.
"Whoosh!"
Li Weiyi withdrew the towering Fusang Divine Tree Projection behind him into his body, then condensed a ball of Golden Crow Flame in his palm. He carefully sensed it and muttered to himself, "When I was a four-star Mind Master, the power of the Golden Crow Flame contained in my spiritual power was equivalent to the power of the introductory level of the second-tier Major Technique."
"But now, having reached the fifth-level Mind Master, coupled with the recent absorption of the Golden Crow's radiance, the power of the Golden Crow Flame is absolutely comparable to a fully mastered second-level Major Technique."
"If I were to also possess the Staff Spear of All Things and the Six Jia Secret Incantation, relying solely on my mental power, there should be very few opponents below the Seventh Heaven the Dao Seed Realm!"
On the ship, a clear female voice rang out. "Indeed, it's quite impressive, but to think you're invincible below the Dao Fruit is to underestimate everyone. You have trump cards, but so do others. You can transcend realms, but so can others. Unless..."
Completely without warning, Li Weiyi's heart skipped a beat. After taking a long breath, she turned her head to look at Tang Wanzhou, who was standing at the stern of the ship.
"When did you wake up?" he asked.
Tang Wanzhou gazed at the distant Golden Crow in the sky, his eyes filled with longing. His black robe fluttered in the sea breeze like Battle Flag, and his long hair was reflected like golden threads. He exuded a boundless sense of pride from within.
She seemed completely oblivious to Li Weiyi's voice, lost in her own inner world, and exclaimed, "Fusang supports the sea and sky, the secluded realm is gone. The Golden Crow shines on the eternal day, and the night vanishes. The legend is true, beyond Yingzhou, there really is such a boundless sea."
Tang Wanzhou gracefully flew out of the jade boat and landed straight on the sea. Step by step, he walked towards the Fusang Divine Tree, like a devout believer pursuing the Great Dao, so obsessed and so persistent.
Their pace quickened, until they sped across the golden sea and disappeared from Li Weiyi's sight.
"This young lord... seems to still be somewhat mentally unstable... not fully recovered..."
Li Weiyi was very worried that she would kill him again after she returned, and he was considering whether to return to the Blood Mud Space immediately.
But then I felt that Tanggu Sea was too dangerous, with no land in sight, and leaving her there would be incredibly heartless.
Before long, Tang Wanzhou returned, his feet touching the sea surface, and sighed, "The Fusang Divine Tree is indeed extraordinary; it's an excellent place to cultivate Spatial Imperial Technique. With cultivation in such a treasure land, becoming an emperor is within reach."
Clearly, she didn't make it.
Li Weiyi stood on the boat and asked, "What makes it not simple?"
