One Month Later

"From this day forward, the transcendent spirits surrounding the Lingxiao Shengjing will likely all retreat to the depths of the Netherworld. In particular, the powerful spirits who once occupied the 272 states of the Lingxiao Shengjing."

Xia Jin noticed something, stretched out her finger, and touched a drop of golden blood on the ground. "The Mist Son of Heaven is bleeding! Yu Daozhen and Kirin Zhuang are truly formidable; in their youth, they were both invincible in their respective eras."

Those Young Son of Heaven who Dao Seed Realm only possessed combat strength comparable to Martial Path Son of Heaven in their youth.

To become the Martial Path Son of Heaven, there are still countless hurdles to overcome. In the future, one must always stay ahead of one's peers, reaching the pinnacle in every realm, without the slightest slackening.

The Demon Country Crown Prince and Kirin Zhuang were also Young Son of Heaven thousands of years ago.

They have cultivated for thousands of years, defeating and killing countless Young Son of Heaven, to reach their current level of cultivation. They are only one step away from becoming true Martial Path Son of Heaven.

The Master Urn put away the Yellow Mud Lamp and tucked it into his pocket.

He dares to take treasures that even the Flower Demon King wouldn't dare to touch.

Suddenly.

Xia Jin's face tightened slightly as she sensed the aura of the Demon Race emperor. She immediately flew out of the Earth-Cracked Canyon, landed on the ground of the Fire Plains, and looked westward.

A melodious phoenix cry echoed from an endless distance.

Even though she was the Flower Fairy Queen, she knelt on one knee at this moment.

"What's there to be afraid of? I don't believe it would dare to invade the Lingxiao Shengjing and bring about a demonic calamity. The Martial Path Son of Heaven of the human race are not all dead. There are rules for emperors." Master Urn nonchalantly, showing no fear whatsoever.

He was certainly not afraid.

Given Fei Feng's cultivation level, she wouldn't care whether he felt awe or not.

However, the idea that the Demon Race dares to be so aloof and lacks any sense of awe is another matter entirely.

Zen Sea Observing Mist stood proudly above the Western Territory Plains, surrounded by four immortal gates, which had been seized from the Demon Country Crown Prince.

She stood in mid-air, her golden hair flying like silk threads, her eyes sharp, traversing the distant void to meet the gaze of the phoenix from the Far West.

The Void Sword in his hand emitted a piercing sword cry in response to the flying phoenix.

The cries of swords and phoenixes intertwined, resounding throughout the Western Territory lands.

"Xiao Zhang, I'm entrusting the Lingxiao Shengjing to you!"

Zen Sea Observing Mist's eyes were firm. He was not intimidated by Fei Feng's aura. Instead, he drew his sword and continued westward to pursue the heavily wounded and fleeing Kirin Zhuang.

She was perfectly clear that since she had chosen to show herself, she could no longer stay in the Lingxiao Shengjing.

Because then, Fei Feng would have a reason to take action. His old enemies would also come knocking on his door one after another.

Rather than inviting trouble to the Lingxiao Shengjing, it's better to take the initiative, face the challenges head-on, and gradually fight our way back to the Emperor's realm.

The Far West Ash Region before her would be the first Dao Birth challenge she faced. It was either overcome or die; there was no third way.

The Third Palace Master and Tang Shituo were chasing the Demon Kingdom's Crown Prince, whose Demon Country Crown Prince had been destroyed by Zen Sea Observing Mist. The latter was seriously injured and fled north, heading straight for the Netherworld of the Departed.

"Master..."

The Third Palace Master murmured to herself, her heart filled with bitterness.

How could she not understand her master's good intentions?

If Master does not go to the Ash Region of the Far West to confront the Wrath of the Flying Phoenix, then the Wrath of the Flying Phoenix will descend upon every human being in the Lingxiao Shengjing.

Li Weiyi fought his way through countless miles before finally shaking off the rice corpses and entering a prefecture unaffected by the Yin Shi Zhong Dao.

I dared not linger, always feeling that danger could strike at any moment.

His internal energy was severely depleted, and his physical strength was severely overdrawn.

The battle against Cloud Heaven Immortal Plain a hopeless one; perhaps the entire Lingxiao Shengjing would eventually become Demon Kingdom, a rice field, or a part of the Netherworld of the Departed.

In short, there is no living space for humans.

What should we do next?

Li Weiyi hurried along, pondering whether to return to Lizhou. If the entire Lingxiao Shengjing had fallen, how could Lizhou possibly escape unscathed?

Given Yang Shen Realm and Sui Sect's deep hatred for the Jiu Li Tribe, they would definitely try to exterminate them.

"Master... Master... Father..."

From the back of her neck, Little Girl's tender voice rang out, like a murmur in a dream, followed by soft sobs.

Li Weiyi was overjoyed.

That's great! Yu Yaozi has actually woken up.

Although Zen Sea Observing Mist obtained her two Other Shore Heavenly Pills, since they were not cultivated by himself, he certainly couldn't fully master them and couldn't unleash the same combat power as Yu Yaozi.

The climate in the eastern region is relatively warmer, with warm currents blowing in from the East China Sea.

The mountains are tall and covered with lush vegetation, remaining verdant even in winter, free from ice and snow.

In the valley, beside the stream.

Li Weiyi removed his cloak, set Yu Yaozi down, and let her sit on a boulder by the stream. After careful consideration, he bowed and said, "Great Palace Master, the situation in Lingxiao City is critical. Your master, Zen Sea Observing Mist, asked me to take you away. Now that you've woken up, we must return immediately to help her."

There's no way to not be careful.

Does anyone know how much Yu Yaozi has recovered?

If he's still affected by the Six Thoughts Mind Curse, give him Xiao Tian Order, and he won't even know who to cry to.

Yu Yaozi was still sleepy, her small, snow-white hands poking at her eyes as she cried bitterly, like Little Girl who had just woken from a nightmare.

She pouted, looked at Li Weiyi, and burst into tears. "Master, they all bully me! They hit me, it hurts so much... Waaah..."

Li Weiyi frowned, suspicious in his heart. He recalled carefully that the girl had never left his side since he took her from Zen Sea Observing Mist.

The problem definitely didn't lie with him.

Did Zen Sea Observing Mist accidentally switch babies?

Li Weiyi cautiously approached and whispered, "Great Palace Master, let's stop joking. Lingxiao Shengjing is truly in imminent danger."

"Waaah, Master, what are you saying? It's me, Yu'er! Don't you recognize me?"

The Little Girl cried even harder, "I'm so scared, they all hit me, Master... I think I was having a nightmare..."

She hugged Li Weiyi, who was walking towards her, and snuggled into his arms, her whole body trembling.

Li Weiyi spread his arms wide, not daring to touch her at all, his expression tense. "Great Palace Master, let's make this clear first, you hugged her yourself, it has nothing to do with me."

Li Weiyi felt that Yu Yaozi's current state was very similar to Tang Wanzhou's back then.

Moreover, it's even more serious.

Li Weiyi guessed that Yu Yaozi mistook him for her master for one reason: before Zen Sea Observing Mist, she had been telling her that her master had returned.

In her mind, her master was the person she was closest to and trusted the most.

Secondly, because of Yang Jia, Li Weiyi has a wisp of the soul from the Zen Sea Observing Mist on her body, which will definitely be sensed by her subconscious.

An hour later, it became completely dark.

Li Weiyi finished his meditation and glanced at Yu'er, who was quietly curled up against him.

She hugged her small, jade-like feet, mimicking Li Weiyi's cross-legged posture. Her big, round eyes darted left and right, filled with fear of the dark, yet she tried hard to appear strong.

Noticing that her master had woken up, she whispered, "Master, I'm a little cold..."

Cold?

With your physical strength, how could you possibly feel cold?

Li Weiyi had a headache, and finally sighed helplessly, "What's meant to be will be."

However, some preparations must be made in advance.

With a snap of his fingers, Li Weiyi conjured a ball of spiritual light and flame, which floated in mid-air, illuminating an area of several feet.

Heat is released.

He took out a pen and notebook from his pouch and quickly began to write, "On the first day I met the Great Palace Master, it happened like this..."

He wrote down in detail what had happened between the two of them that day.

All the dialogues, even the weather, time, and location, are written down clearly.

When she regains her memories and cultivation in the future, there will be an explanation.

Wow, Master, you're amazing!

Yu'er stood up barefoot, stretched out her small hands, and warmed herself by the spiritual flame, her eyes filled with joy and admiration.

Li Weiyi gasped, and also noted down the phrase, "Wow, Master, you're amazing."

He closed the booklet and said, "Great Palace Master, we must go. Danger could strike at any moment."

"Um!"

Yu'er nodded and looked at him.

Li Weiyi walked ahead, and she followed behind.

She wasn't wearing shoes, and the pebbles and dead branches on the ground occasionally hurt her feet, making her wince in pain, but she gritted her teeth and didn't utter a sound. She always felt something following her, and would turn her head every now and then.

Suddenly, a nightingale's cry startled her, and she rushed forward, hugging Li Weiyi tightly and clutching his robes. "Master, I'm scared..."

Li Weiyi stood there quietly for a long while, torn between his inner Celestial Person, before finally squatting down. "Hug me, or carry me on my back?"

"Hug me!" Yu'er immediately exclaimed.

Li Weiyi picked her up, leaped into the air, bounding between cliffs, each step covering dozens of feet, and continued on his journey at high speed.

"Master, could you please stop calling me Princess? I'm not a princess, I'm just a wild girl." Yu'er whispered, resting her head on his shoulder as she listened to the whistling wind.

Li Weiyi said, "Okay."

After thinking for a moment, she whispered, "Master, I... I'm a little hungry..."

"Let's eat when we come across a house."

"Okay, Master, you're amazing! You're the best master in the world..."

Li Weiyi's feelings were complicated, a mixture of joy and worry. His thoughts would drift back to Cloud Heaven Immortal Plain, and then to Qiuzhou and Lizhou. He had too many worries, yet he was helpless.

One month later.

Huangjiang Riverside City is located at the intersection of three regions: Qingzhou in the east, Guanzhou in the south, and the Netherworld of the Departed. It has a population of several hundred thousand and is situated on the edge of darkness, on the side of the living realm between the realms of life and death.

The city had no walls, and humans and the dead lived together.

It serves as a crucial gateway between the Lingxiao Shengjing and the Netherworld of the Departed. Merchants from the Realm of the Dead, ghost hunters, outlaws, martial arts experts exploring secret realms... all sorts of people who interact with the Netherworld of the Departed and the spirits who interact with the Realm of Life gather here.

For the past month, Li Weiyi and Yu'er have been living in the city, waiting for definitive news about the battle in Lingxiao Shengjing, so they can make a decision about where to go next.

The distance is too great, the Lingxiao Shengjing is too vast, and war and calamity are constant.

Rumors are rampant right now, with all sorts of true and false information making it difficult to distinguish between them.

The martial artists from the Five Seas Realm and Dao Seed Realm Martial Cultivator who fled to the Huangjiang Riverside City had no idea of the real situation and were just repeating what others said.

Li Weiyi did not remain idle. With the help of the Time Cocoon, he comprehended the true scriptures and the Dao. After five months, the Dao Seed within the Divine Palace finally blossomed into a twelve-petaled Dao Lotus, allowing him to enter the Fourth Heaven the Dao Seed Realm.
