Li Ling Has Grown Up

The figure that suddenly rushed out had Golden Buddha Light emanating from its skin, which shattered Li Weiyi's Dao Heart Manifestation, and struck him in the back with a palm.

He appeared tall and fat, but his speed was astonishing. His magical energy, in terms of both purity and depth, far surpassed Li Weiyi's. He was a top-tier expert who had condensed the Dao Fruit.

"Forward!"

Li Weiyi pressed her finger to her brow.

His body was blazing hot and bright, flashing twenty feet away, narrowly avoiding his palm strike.

With a deafening roar, the force of the palm shattered the air, flattening a cluster of graves in front of them.

Li Weiyi moved swiftly, creating distance between them, and landed on a tombstone to observe the scene.

He was a Pure Immortal Body martial artist dressed in a purple kasaya, about 2.5 meters tall, with a string of golden bone prayer beads hanging on his chest. His head was round and plump, and his belly was as big as a water vat.

His palm struck empty air, and the Buddhist cultivator revealed a surprised expression as he peered at Li Weiyi, who had fled dozens of feet away. "Last night in Nanhua Market, you were the one who committed a heinous massacre, weren't you?"

"I only killed those who deserved to die," Li Weiyi said.

The pot-bellied Buddhist cultivator said, "Killing my Coffin Mountain disciple is a capital offense; even Buddha himself wouldn't forgive you."

Li Weiyi saw through the other party's extraordinary nature, realizing that he couldn't possibly be a Dao Seed Realm of Inferior Root.

And which of these Pure Immortal Body Perfected Person n't renowned and illustrious?

So he asked, "Which of the three great Zen masters of Coffin Mountain are you?"

"Great Zen Master Xinku, that is none other than myself, the Buddha!"

The Great Zen Master Xinku took a step forward, leaving a large footprint that spanned dozens of feet. He formed Demon Subduing Seal with his palm and unleashed a golden hand seal technique several feet in size.

Before the hand seals and Daoist magic had even fully landed, the ground beneath Li Weiyi's feet had already caved in.

"Fight!"

A Golden Crow Flame Armor appeared on Li Weiyi's body, bright and dazzling, making his body resemble the blazing sun.

The body circulates spiritual energy, while external spiritual power is added.

The power of magic energy and mental energy combined, and his arm lashed out like a whip, unleashing an Overturning Sky Palm Seal.

"Boom!"

From beneath Li Weiyi's feet, rings of spiritual light and magical energy spread out, flattening the earth and preventing his body from falling to the ground.

Having exhausted his palm strike, Great Zen Master Xinku Ku immediately lifted his body and flew backward, landing several dozen feet away. Looking at his palm, he was quite surprised. "What a strange boy, are you a mind cultivator or a martial artist?"

Li Weiyi summoned the Staff Spear of All Things, his figure upright, his eyes cold as frost. "These people, you killed them all, didn't you? What wrong did they do? You, Seventh Heaven Dao Seed Realm expert, why did you make things difficult for them? Come find me! I killed the members of the evil cult."

The three great Zen masters of Coffin Mountain represent the three people with the highest talent in the Dao Seed Realm, and they are given special training.

The Great Zen Master Xinku before me is a disciple of Xu Fudu. Like his master, he enjoys cannibalism and is infamous throughout the Southern Territory for his numerous misdeeds. His name, once it appears in a city, immediately triggers widespread panic.

Li Weiyi, engulfed in flames, charged forward, using his telekinesis to propel his spear in a bright streak of light as he slashed down.

"So fast!"

The Great Zen Master Xinku raised the Golden Bell with both hands and cast an Imperial Road spell.

The Golden Bell is three zhang tall, with scriptures flashing on its surface. With each rotation, it releases a powerful golden energy wave.

"Bang!"

Li Weiyi's spear struck the Golden Bell, and the bell rang out like thunder.

A blinding beam of light shot out from the spear tip, sending the Great Zen Master Xinku flying back ten feet. He quickly checked his body and found that his purple kasaya had blocked the beam of light, at which point he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Who exactly are you? At your age, to possess such fighting prowess, you should have been famous throughout the world long ago."

Great Zen Master Xinku dared not underestimate his opponent, so he took off the Prayer Beads from his neck, put them on his wrist, and spun them around.

As the prayer beads were activated, a powerful storm swept across the surrounding land, even lifting some tombstones into the air.

Li Weiyi was filled with murderous intent and didn't bother to say anything more to him. He picked up his spear and charged forward.

"Boom! Boom..."

The two's Dao Heart Manifestation and psychic energy fields collided one after another. With the support of the spear, the heat wave of the Golden Crow Flame burned the skin of the Great Zen Master Xinku pain. His purple kasaya could not completely block it.

The more the Great Zen Master Xinku fought, the more alarmed he became, feeling that his opponent was handling the situation with ease, while he himself was about to be overwhelmed.

Just as he was about to retreat, Li Weiyi released the Fusang Divine Tree Projection. As the spear was swung out, the branches of the divine tree pierced through the Great Zen Master Xinku.

The tip of the spear fell from his left shoulder and slid downwards.

"Puff!"

The Great Zen Master Xinku spat out blood and was thrown away, a long and shocking wound torn open in his chest.

The flames entered my body, causing excruciating burning pain.

Li Weiyi gave him no chance to catch his breath, simultaneously mobilizing his mental power and magical energy to unleash the Ash Extinguishing Finger Technique.

The powerful and domineering fiery finger strike, comparable in strength to an imperial technique, traveled over a distance of several dozen feet and struck the Great Zen Master Xinku. The Great Zen Master Xinku activated his Buddhist beads, raising dozens of Buddha statues to defend himself.

"Bang!"

The Buddha statues all collapsed, and he was thrown out, his body crashing into the ground.

When he saw Li Weiyi release the Fusang Divine Tree Projection, Great Zen Master Xinku felt a sense of familiarity, as if he had heard someone mention it before. When the Ash Extinguishing Finger Technique was unleashed, he suddenly realized what it meant.

"So it was you! How can you be so strong? You betrayed the cult..."

When Zen Master Xinku saw Li Weiwei coming to kill him like a ferocious god, he felt terrified and did not dare to fight him again. He immediately used the Earth Escape Technique and plunged headlong into the soil.

He was unaware of what had happened in Lingxiao City and hadn't deliberately inquired about Li Weiyi's whereabouts. Therefore, he was shocked that the Fourth Divine Son actually possessed the strength to defeat him?

How old is this kid?

Didn't they say that playing against Wang Shu is always very difficult?

Li Weiyi used his mental power to lock onto it and discovered that the Great Zen Master Xinku Xin Ku's skill in Evasion Dao Technique was astonishing; he had appeared several miles away in an instant. Li Weiyi chased after him on the ground, and only after catching up did he suddenly rush into the ground.

The Great Zen Master Xinku was fleeing on the surface of a Blood River underground when he heard a rumbling sound behind him. He turned around and was instantly terrified.

Li Weiyi, completely enveloped in the Golden Crow Flame, appeared underground and walked on water at a rapid speed.

"The entire prefecture is teeming with powerful members of the Divine Cult. Your pursuit is only revealing your whereabouts and location. Do you really think you're invincible?" Great Zen Master Xinku was running with all his might, but the distance between them was getting closer and closer.

"Whoosh!"

Li Weiyi unleashed a single finger strike from a distance.

"Boom!"

The Great Zen Master Xinku narrowly escaped.

Not far away, a deep crater was blasted into the underground river's rock wall, and the rocks showed signs of melting.

He was filled with regret. If only he hadn't acted on impulse and killed someone to vent his anger.

"Whoosh!"

Another finger strike flew towards them.

This time, Great Zen Master Xinku was unable to dodge; his purple robe shattered, and the sound of bones breaking echoed from his back.

With great reluctance, he pulled a handful of talismans from his robes and scattered them behind him. Then, he spat out a bead and placed it on the bleeding wound in his chest.

The bead seemed to be alive, frantically absorbing the blood from his body.

The Great Zen Master Xinku let out a miserable scream, his whole body trembling. In a short while, at least one-third of the blood in his body was absorbed by the bead, causing his body to shrink considerably.

He then transformed into a streak of blood-red light and rushed out at an incredible speed.

Li Weiyi burst out from the clusters of Talisman Light, releasing his mental power to sense and probe beyond ten miles, but still couldn't find the Great Zen Master Xinku. He sighed inwardly, "For someone like him to have survived until now, his escape methods are truly extraordinary."

"If the disciple is so cruel and ruthless, how vicious must the master be?"

Li Weiyi's expression changed as he sensed a dangerous force rapidly approaching. He immediately withdrew his psychic field, concealed his aura, and quickly fled the area.

The drawback of releasing a field of mental energy and Dao Heart Manifestation lies precisely in this.

While searching for others, one's own location is also revealed.

Perception cannot be released arbitrarily on a large scale, even in a transcendent state.

Li Weiyi pursued Great Zen Master Xinku for over a hundred li, then secretly fled for half a day. By afternoon, even he himself didn't know where he was.

Alone, walking on the muddy road several feet wide, he planned to go to a nearby town to inquire about what had happened in the past few days before deciding what to do next.

Having experienced last night's tragedy, Li Weiyi deeply realized the cost of doing things halfway.

It would have been better if we hadn't saved them in the first place.

In that way, they wouldn't have to hold onto hope and dream about the future, and they wouldn't have to experience despair and pain a second time.

Wasn't the Lingxiao City project abandoned halfway through?

At dusk, the clouds on the horizon burned like fire.

"Whoosh!"

A horse-drawn carriage slowly made its way from the low hills in the distance, along the winding, muddy road, leaving two deep ruts in its wake.

Li Weiyi stepped aside to make way for it.

Unexpectedly, the carriage stopped.

Inside the car, a long-unheard, pleasant voice rang out. "Get in!"

Li Weiyi's lifeless eyes lit up instantly as he discovered that the driver was actually a spirit, dressed in gray clothes and wearing a bamboo hat, devoid of any life.

He quickly climbed onto the vehicle and saw Li Ling sitting inside, his expression filled with disbelief. "How did you find me?"

Li Ling is no longer the little girl she once was. Now almost nineteen, she has grown taller and her chest has become more prominent. She has become a very elegant and beautiful woman.

She chuckled in a voice as calm as Zen Sea Observing Mist, "You've forgotten, we can sense each other's location within a certain distance."

Li Weiyi said, "But I couldn't sense you."

"You seem preoccupied; did you ever think of coming to me?" Zen Sea Observing Mist asked.

Li Weiyi said, "I was just looking for you, and my three masters, to discuss some matters..."

Zen Sea Observing Mist gently raised his arm, interrupting him. "The three of them have already returned home. Even if it's risky, they must go back to get reinforcements. The situation is more critical than ever. Do you want to come back to Lingxiao City with me?"

She said "go back," not "go to."

For her, Lingxiao City was her home, the empire she had conquered.

"Back!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Weiyi answered her question, and in doing so, he answered his own.
