Dawn in the Netherworld

Having broken through to the Seven-Star Mind Master, Li Weiyi decided to spend more time on Talisman Path and formations. For example, the refinement of the Earth Sword Talisman and the Morning Sun True Spirit Formation.

Since he intends to pretend to specialize in telekinesis, he naturally needs to prepare some Psychic Attack methods; he can't always rely on a combination of martial arts and telekinesis.

Given enough time, it would be strange if those old monsters in the Longevity Realm didn't become suspicious.

Concealing one's martial arts talent, of course, cannot completely prevent older, more powerful figures from opposing forces from eyeing the target.

But if you don't cover it up, you'll definitely be the focus of special attention.

Previously, the Morning Sun True Spirit Formation was set up by temporarily drawing the Formation Script in the spirit realm, which made it difficult to be effective in actual combat.

Li Weiyi went to the Tanggu Sea and found a giant Xihe Flower with extremely high heat. It had absorbed the radiance of the Fusang Divine Tree and the Golden Crow Flame over thousands of years, and its properties were extremely compatible with the Morning Sun True Spirit Formation.

Even with Li Weiyi's current cultivation level, touching the petals felt like they were burning hot.

It resembles a golden lotus platform, its radiance as brilliant as the sun, its golden rays shining forth.

It can truly reach ten thousand feet.

Li Weiyi plans to inscribe the Formation Script of the Morning Sun True Spirit Formation onto the petals of this Xihe Flower. During battle, one can stand on it, protected by the array, and fly, allowing for both offense and defense.

Just like the gods in myths and legends on Earth who stand on lotus thrones.

Another two months have passed.

Li Weiyi used the Time Cocoon to cultivate for nearly a year.

He spent most of his time studying the true classics, and his twelve-petaled Dao Lotus of the Divine Palace broke through two realms, reaching the early stage of the Sixth Heaven the Dao Seed Realm. Finally, he barely caught up with the realm of the Wind Mansion Dragon Seed.

The Wind Mansion Dragon Seed has never had time to cultivate, and has only advanced from the early stage of the Sixth Heaven to its peak, getting stuck below the Seventh Heaven.

Condensing the Dao Fruit is no easy task; it is a matter of great importance.

However, Li Weiyi had already figured out a way to break through the current realm.

That is, to break through the realm by using the Daoist technique "Six Purifying Karma".

The third level of the Six Purifying Karma, "Karma Fire Transformation," once mastered, can leverage the power of successful Dao techniques to help martial artists condense their Dao Fruit.

For over a year, Li Weiyi has had no time to cultivate the Six Purifying Karma, and remains at the minor completion stage of the third level. To reach the major completion stage, he must find a source of fire other than the Golden Crow Flame.

In order to cultivate the Six Purifying Karma, An Xianjing killed many Ember Spirit to obtain the Ember Flame within them.

Emberfire is the ultimate treasure for cultivating the Six Purifying Karma, which is why the first level is called "Ash Extinguishing Finger Technique." When the sages of the Bhakara Sect created this Major Technique, what they most wanted to burn was the Ember Spirit.

Li Weiyi had never considered going to the Ash Region to hunt down Ember Spirit in order to cultivate a Major Technique. The Six Purifying Karma was not important enough for him to that extent.

The condensation of the Dao Fruit is not indispensable.

Calculating the time, it was almost time to meet the young man surnamed Liu. In addition, the "Star Day Pill" needed for cultivating mental power and the "Golden Marrow" needed for cultivating bones were almost exhausted.

Li Weiyi decided to leave the pass and head to the sea market on Moon Dragon Island.

It was both to keep the appointment and to purchase the resources needed for the next stage of spiritual practice.

"Yu'er, how come you've grown so much taller?"

Li Weiyi was surprised and tried hard to recall. The last time she stepped out of the Time Cocoon, she hadn't grown much and was about the same age as before.

But in just ten days, she grew as tall as a head.

From the age of four or five, he grew to look like he was seven or eight years old.

Her clothes no longer fit properly; she was now wearing men's clothing that had been simply cut from Li Weiyi's clothes, tied with a gray cloth belt, making her look completely out of place.

She said earnestly, "Master, we've been in this secret realm for a long time. It's normal that I've grown a bit."

"That's normal, but... okay!"

Li Weiyi had no way to explain it to her.

Yu'er had never been in contact with other children and did not know that growing up is a gradual process.

Li Weiyi made her sit down, stood behind her, combed her hair neatly, tied it into a bun, and secured it with a blue wooden hairpin. "After we leave the secret realm, Master will buy you a few sets of nice clothes that fit you."

Are we going out?

Yu'er's eyes lit up, filled with joy and excitement.

"Yes, let's go out for a nice meal."

Li Weiyi felt guilty, knowing that the little girl must have been enduring immense loneliness during her seclusion.

During the months she spent with her, Li Weiyi was actually very happy. She always sincerely loved her master, praised her master, and cared for her master. She would cry when her master was injured, and she would also hold back her tears because she didn't want her master to worry.

No one else has ever treated him this way, regarding him as their everything and believing his every word.

How could Li Weiyi regard her as that powerful and influential Great Palace Master?

Li Weiyi couldn't imagine that Yu'er would one day become a woman completely unfamiliar to him, and that many beautiful memories would vanish.

I just hope she grows up a little slower.

"Boom!"

At the edge of the White Desert, the thick layer of sand was pierced by the power of the Dharma Qi palm strike.

Amidst the magical energy, Li Weiyi, dressed in simple clothes, emerged from underground with Yu'er.

"We're out! We're finally out! The outside world is so free and open!"

Yu'er took a deep breath and then ran out, leaving a series of footprints in the desert.

As she grew up, her personality changed; she became cheerful and lively, and full of interest and love for all new and interesting things.

Li Weiyi noticed something amiss and looked around at the vast land. Then he raised his head and looked at the magnificent sunset on the horizon, and the sun at the center of the sunset. He was deeply shocked.

The Netherworld of the Departed... Dawn breaks!

What earth-shattering changes have occurred in these three months?

The setting sun shines on the sky, and the morning sun shines on the earth.

Li Weiyi determined that it was morning in Yuzhou.

Yuzhou, which had been shrouded in darkness for a thousand years, has been brought back to light and has once again become part of its habitat.

Li Weiyi felt regretful for not being able to witness history unfold, and only wanted to immediately go to a place where humans lived to find out everything he wanted to know.

They were traveling at high speed along the edge of the desert towards the East China Sea.

"The fact that Yuzhou was able to dispel the darkness and become a living place again is most likely due to the Rice Cult using the <Bright Star Book>. Transforming and rebuilding the dead land corrupted by the Netherworld is no easy task. There are probably many Rice Cult martial artists gathered in Yuzhou right now, so we need to leave as soon as possible."

The most terrifying aspect of the Netherworld of the Departed is the dark power it contains.

It can corrode all normal living things, the dead, vegetation, and even mud, rocks, mountains, and rivers, causing them to undergo bizarre changes.

Living beings go mad, the dead rise from the dead.

Rivers turned murky, vegetation became menacing. Blood gushed from the earth, and paper money was scattered from the sky.

To completely transform the Netherworld of the Departed into a vibrant land of life, where flowers bloom, vegetation grows, eeriness recedes, rivers become clear, and magical energy returns to normal, requires a very long period of cultivation.

But as Li Weiyi continued his journey, he discovered that the followers of the Rice Cult were already enthusiastically cultivating rice paddies and planting Benevolent Rice in the decaying soil.

Are rice-shaped figures grown like this really normal people?

Li Weiyi knew that with his cultivation level, he couldn't think about so many deep-seated issues, nor could he control the Rice Cult; he just wanted to escape as soon as possible.

From time to time, Daojiao martial arts practitioners would ride their mounts across the sky, patrolling the edge of Yuzhou.

Li Weiyi carried Yu'er on his back and put on Invisibility Nightwalker's Robe.

After spending two days traveling thousands of miles, we finally arrived at the Coast of the East Sea.

Taking advantage of the two breakthroughs in the Divine Gate Realm, Li Weiyi's physical strength increased significantly, and he did not feel tired even after traveling thousands of miles.

With the help of the Four-Colored Immortal Moss, his muscles and internal organs were cultivated to the strength of an eighty-year -Longevity Body.

With the help of the <Book of Earth>, he absorbed the blood and qi contained in the Earth Origin Essence Lesser Yang Star and cultivated it to the strength of the eighth level of the Longevity Body.

With the help of Phoenix Blood Tree Bark, he cultivated his Longevity Body.

The skeleton has been cultivated to the Longevity Body strength.

The Gray Corpse Ape had been dead for many years, and most of the mysterious energy in its bone marrow had been lost, making it incomparable to a true Longevity Realm Giants.

The marrow of those who have just perished, the transcendent beings, is the true treasure for refining bones.

For example, the skeleton of the Silver Feather Eagle King, which was taken away by Zuoqiu Courtyard. Or the marrow of the legendary Azure Phoenix, Purple Luan, and Crimson Phoenix, which died at the hands of Zen Sea Observing Mist, every drop of which is priceless.

It's unclear whether it fell into the hands of the Imperial Court or was taken away by Xue Jian Tang Ting.

If Li Weiyi could acquire some of it, his progress in cultivating the Golden Bone would have long surpassed that of his muscles and internal organs.

At times like these, Li Weiyi's unwavering and self-reliant Dao heart would always waver, and he would develop a strong interest in living off women. If he could just lower his head a little, obtaining these top-tier resources and treasures wouldn't be difficult.

Self-improvement is not as good as having a virtuous wife at home.

But the fear is that being a kept man can lead to addiction and becoming dependent on others.

In the end, who knows what fate awaits them?

"Splash!"

The sea is azure, the waves lap against the white sand, the scenery is exceptionally beautiful, and it is truly breathtaking.

Li Weiyi took out a map and checked the location of Moon Dragon Island.

Moon Dragon Island is marked on the map, 1,800 li away from Lingxiao Shengjing. It is about 11,000 li away from the border between the old Shazhou and Haizhou where he is now, and requires crossing the dangerous sea area where the Three Island Barbarians are located.

Li Weiyi dared not cross the ocean alone.

Firstly, the ocean is too vast; a slight misstep could lead to getting lost and perishing without a trace.

Secondly, if he were to accidentally drift to the Three Islands, he would be walking into a trap. Dragon Gate hates him to the core.

"First, we'll travel along the coast to Leizhou, and then take a boat from the Leizhou Ferry."

"According to the map, Moon Dragon Island Market is the largest trading market between the East Sea Demon Race and the humans of the Lingxiao Shengjing. The Qixia Lake Flower Demon acts as an intermediary, maintaining order there, and both sides give her face."

Just as Li Weiyi made this decision, a three-story white jade giant ship drifted in from the sea.

It appeared out of thin air, instantly covering three or four miles away.

Just as Li Weiyi was about to hide in the white desert, he felt himself being locked onto by a mental force.

A familiar yet unfamiliar voice came from the ship. "Jiu Li Hidden Person, your master has already discovered your whereabouts. Why don't you come aboard and beg for forgiveness? Do you think you can escape?"

Li Weiyi looked helplessly at the jade ship at sea.

There stood a young nun, Kudi, dressed in white Monk's Robe, her eyes filled with cold light.

The sound just now was transmitted through magical energy; clearly, there was no intention to alert more powerful members of the Rice Cult.

The Kudi, the first of the Coffin Mountain Four Truths, is the teaching of An Xianjing.

Li Weiyi had interacted with her at the Qianlong Lantern Festival.
