"Boom!"

Li Weiyi fell with the waterfall, crashing into the riverbed hundreds of feet below. Even with his powerful physique, he felt dizzy and his internal injuries worsened.

Previously, in order to eliminate Qiong Ji Daozi, he was unable to escape Hong Ling.

He quickly mobilized the liquid magic power within his Shenque acupoint and circulated his twelve Trace Meridians to protect his injuries.

He dragged his weary, aching, and heavy body out of the seawater channel, using his Peach Wood Staff for support. Looking up, he saw that the rocky dome, hundreds of feet high, had completely closed off, and no more seawater was falling.

The deafening roar of the rushing water subsided, and the world became dark and quiet. Only the lava river below the cliff in the distance shone with a golden glow and brought heat.

A sense of oppression and gloom, as if the world would never see the light of day again, arose spontaneously.

Li Weiyi was very worried, as if he had fallen into the Arctic and would never be able to return. Yu'er, Yao Yin, Zuoqiu Hongting, Hidden Lord, and others were probably worried about his safety.

In Lingxiao Shengjing, he already had many attachments.

The Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors flapped their wings and membranous wings, their bodies radiating multicolored light and overflowing with Golden Crow Flame. They were full of vigor and strength, with bright eyes, unlike Li Weiyi who was injured and had greatly depleted his magical energy.

"Bang! Bang!"

The Tian Ji Sword and the Dao Fruit of the Qiong Ji Daozi were carelessly tossed onto the ground at Li Weiyi's feet.

They surrounded Qiong Ji Daozi's boundary bag, which the Great Phoenix opened with its claws, dumping the contents outwards. With a whoosh, countless treasures— Spring Coin, blood crystals, magical artifacts, Departed Spirit Chariot —piled up into a small mountain.

There were jade boxes and caskets, which were pried open by the sharp claws of the Great Phoenix, and immediately a thick Medicinal Fragrance wafted out.

Several of the Thousand-Year Elixir, imbued with great spirituality, were not sealed. Their leaves transformed into wings as they tried to escape, but were swooped down by Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors who pinned them to their feet and devoured them.

Despite his exhaustion, Li Weiyi climbed to the highest point nearby to observe the surrounding environment and search for the source of the Dragon Roar's roar, his mind constantly on edge.

A single sound was enough to wound him.

Such a terrifying creature, lurking nearby and now completely lifeless, is truly unsettling, making one feel like every bush and tree is a potential enemy.

Li Weiyi's best chance of escape is to use the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish to flee to the Tanggu Sea, which could be a last resort. However, this place is strange, and it is unknown whether he can activate the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish and enter the Blood Mud Space.

Without immediately activating it, he sensed the presence of the woman from the Dao Palace.

Look towards the opposite bank of the river.

Then, the woman from the Dao Palace emerged from the water, her body wrapped in Hong Ling that covered her hips and chest. Her long hair was wet, and her skin was as striking as luminous white jade. Her legs and arms were exposed, long and slender.

They are seven or eight miles apart, which is quite far.

But you can clearly see the lines of her back, so alluring and beautiful, as if she had just gotten out of the shower.

As the seawater above recedes, the river between the two is drying up.

The water flows towards the unknown, dark depths.

Wu Hongling sensed Li Weiyi's distant gaze and the murderous intent in his eyes, so she turned around and looked at him with her withered, grayish-blue face. "Young Master of the North, Hidden God of the South. Since arriving in the East Sea, this is the phrase I hear most often."

"I didn't take it to heart at first, but after today's battle, my opinion has completely changed. You, the Jiu Li Hidden Person, are quite capable; you can make a name for yourself even in the Hundred Realms Life Domain."

"And Tang Wanzhou is by no means inferior to the true disciples of the major ancient sects or the Son of Heaven's Disciple of the major imperial courts."

"Let's call a truce for now! If we alert that terrifying creature, we'll all die."

Clearly, Wu Hongling believed that Li Weiyi's cultivation had reached the level of Nine-Star Mind Master, and his martial arts had reached the peak of the Dao Seed Realm. Therefore, in her view, Li Weiyi was at the level of Huo Xin, while Tang Wanzhou was the one who had truly reached the pinnacle.

It's not surprising that she had such thoughts, since her understanding of the Jiu Li Hidden Person was limited to what she had only heard about.

Moreover, her level of Huo Xin was not only not low, but very high; she did not underestimate Li Weiyi.

Wu Hongling waved her hand and summoned ten bluish-gray Bone Spirit, which lined up in front of her to guard her. Then, she sat cross-legged on a boulder as hard as black iron, absorbing the Heaven and Earth Mana Qi.

She spread her hands, which were resting on her smooth, jade-like legs, and pinched a Top-grade Blood Crystal in each hand.

There were ten Bone Spirit, some humanoid and some skeletal beasts. Their eye sockets burned with ghostly flames, and scriptures flickered on their bodies, as they watched Li Weiyi on the opposite bank.

"I wonder what position this demoness holds in the Dao Palace; she's far more dangerous than Huo Xin. She's protected by ten Departed Spirit Commander; the Seven Little Ones might not be able to break through quickly. Let's heal our wounds and restore our magical energy first."

What Li Weiyi feared most was the Dragon Roar's roar just now. So, he took out the Thousand Character Artifact Cloak given to him by Tang Wanzhou, tied it around his body, and then used the Jade Void Breathing Technique.

The magical energy converged on him, forming a vortex.

The Heaven and Earth Mana Qi here is completely different from that of the outside world; it is thick and pure, even surpassing that of the Cloud Heaven Immortal Plain. It is like the complete opposite of the spiritual energy of the Netherworld of the Departed.

Strangely enough.

Despite being in such a sacred cultivation realm, not a single blade of grass grows, no precious herbs or medicinal plants emerge, and there is no sign of life whatsoever.

The Dragon Roar did not sound again, nor did any dragon-shaped creature appear.

Qiong Ji Daozi had reaped enormous rewards in the past few months of war against the Southeast Nether Realm. Inside his realm bag, there were dozens of Thousand-Year Elixir. The Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors ate voraciously, their bellies bulging, and their breath was filled with the Medicinal Fragrance of the refined herbs, creating a hazy, rosy atmosphere.

One hour later.

Li Weiyi's injuries, inflicted by Huo Xin, Qiong Ji Daozi Wu Hongling, and Wu Hongling, have recovered to about 60-70%. His Shenque, Zutian, Fengfu, and Wuhai meridians are all brimming with magical energy, and his entire body is once again full of power.

He suddenly opened his eyes.

The river ahead had vanished without a trace.

After being impacted by seawater that was tens of miles wide, the ground caved in for tens of meters, revealing giant skeletons, some of which were exposed. Although the visual impact was strong, it could not possibly be the remains of an ancient immortal or Son of Heaven Bone, as it lacked the lingering power of death that struck the soul directly.

A red figure, her gauze flowing, walked on the skeleton, only two or three miles away from Li Weiyi. Ten bluish-gray Bone Spirit commanders lined up behind her, each exuding an imposing aura.

The Hong Ling on the Dao Palace demoness's body was no ordinary magical artifact; Li Weiyi had already entered its attack range.

Li Weiyi suddenly stood up, holding Peach Wood Staff in one hand and the Purple Sky Lei Seal in the other, secretly activating it, and lightning appeared on his body.

At the same time, he drew Formation Script in his Glabella Spiritual Realm, entering his strongest battle state.

He transmitted his voice to the Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors: "Arise, prepare for battle."

Li Weiyi did not want to fight Wu Hongling now and wanted to buy time to cultivate the third level of the Six Purifying Karma. So he said, "If Fairy Hongling wants to fight, I, Liu, will definitely accompany you to the end. However, the commotion caused by this battle may alert the creature that made the Dragon Roar's roar. I think it is better to be rational."

The title "Fairy Hongling" was heard from Qiong Ji Daozi.

"Liu? Even now, you still won't admit you're the Jiu Li Hidden Person?"

Wu Hongling's voice held a hint of a smile as she continued, "Don't worry, to me, the death of Qiong Ji Daozi is no different than the death of a stray dog on the roadside. As for his Huo Xin, I have no connection with him; on the contrary, we are more competitors. Therefore, I wouldn't risk everything to kill you for their sake."

"This place is no ordinary place; it's very likely a lost ancient immortal realm, where Heaven and Earth Mana Qi and earth's magical energy) contains a wisp of Immortal Qi, which can be called Spiritual Qi. We could be trapped here for a lifetime. If I kill you, how lonely would I be? Loneliness is more terrifying than death."

How could Li Weiyi dare to believe a single word she said?

How could someone have chased him for over two thousand miles without a strong desire to kill?

Li Weiyi said, "A lost ancient immortal realm! If this news is reported back to the Dao Palace, you should be able to obtain an extraordinary reward, right?"

In the entire Southern Yingzhou, there are no more than ten ancient immortal realms, almost all of which are the locations of ancient religions and imperial courts.

Wu Hongling stopped when she saw Li Weiyi release Formation Script runes within a hundred feet. "Whether we can get out is still uncertain."

"With your cultivation level, you could even dig through a ten-thousand-foot-deep earth," Li Weiyi said.

She said, "You're too optimistic! Such a treasure land as the Ancient Immortal Sacred Realm is unknown to anyone. Do you know what that means? It means that it's isolated from the world, and getting in or out is as difficult as ascending to heaven."

Instead of waiting to die, the two decided to find a way out.

Li Weiyi dispatched Great Phoenix, while Wu Hongling dispatched the strongest Bone Spirit Commander.

They climbed the stone walls, heading towards the dome hundreds of feet high, to dig through the mud and rocks.

Seeing that she couldn't find any flaws in Li Weiyi's character and was also wary of the unknown Dragon Roar, Wu Hongling turned and flew away to study the stone wall above the lava river.

She had previously noticed something strange and wanted to confirm it again.

Li Weiyi became interested in the giant skeleton at the bottom of the river. He flew over and examined it closely. "The exposed part is over a hundred meters long. What kind of creature left this behind?"

Li Weiyi tapped with his fingers and then drew his Tian Ji Sword to slash.

It's not made of gold; no Golden Marrow was found inside.

He suddenly lost interest and glanced at the red shadow on the stone wall in the distance. His fingers secretly sketched puppet scriptures on the giant skeleton. He used his spiritual light to write the ancient Chinese character "Lin" and buried the Dao Fruit of Qiongji Daozi into the bones.

Wu Hongling stood below a stone wall engraved with ancient patterns and texts.

On the stone wall is carved a humanoid creature with two heads, one old and one young, located where the hands are. A swastika symbol floats above the neck.

So much time has passed that the pattern has become very blurry.

She stared at the swastika symbol for a moment, and suddenly, the world spun around her, her consciousness was about to be shattered, and she almost fell into the lava river below. She quickly forced herself to look away, her heart filled with inexplicable horror.

How could such a shallow mark possess such power?

Wu Hongling narrowed her eyes, a plan forming in her mind.

"Whoosh!"

Trailing a long Hong Ling, she flew back to the riverbank opposite the stone wall. "Stop setting up puppet magic! Such a gigantic skeleton consumes a lot of mental energy. Besides, at my speed, it can't do anything to me."

Li Weiyi showed no embarrassment at having his scheme exposed. "I'm using this to deal with unknown dangers! We must not harbor any disloyalty, put aside our grudges, and deal with everything after we escape. I also hope that Fairy Hongling will be as sincere as I am; otherwise, constantly being on guard against each other is too exhausting."

Wu Hongling nodded slightly. "You are very strong, and with the help of the strange insects, killing you would definitely cost me a lot. Forget it, forget it, let's stop here."

She sat cross-legged on the ground, her left leg extended straight out and her right leg raised. From her Jade Bracelet on her wrist, she took out a bronze pot and poured out Golden Marrow, sipping it as if it were wine. "Would you like to try a sip?"

Li Weiyi shook his head slightly, then asked indirectly, "Your Huo Xin are hidden in your Dao Palace, yet you're so neglected! I just wanted to spar with him, thinking he had protective treasures and wouldn't be in any danger, but I didn't expect... sigh, I didn't mean to."
