Fengfu Dao Fruit and Immortal Seeking Bead
After searching for a long time, she called out, "Li Weiyi, what are you hiding for? Did you find an ancient treasure trove and want to keep it all for yourself?"
Immediately, Wu Hongling summoned her magical sword and began slashing and thrusting within the stone hall.
After a long time, unable to find Li Weiyi, she left in a huff.
Li Weiyi's eyes remained calm. After confirming that there was no sound outside, he took out the headless corpse of the Huo Xin. Not daring to make any rash moves, he used his Heavenly Eye to observe the ancestral field of the corpse.
Divine flames burned within the ancestral field, resembling a crimson furnace.
The Dao Fruit floated in the center, dazzling like the blazing sun.
At the bottom of the ancestral field was an incomparably thick mass of magical energy, more than ten times stronger than the Huo Xin flames of magical energy. There were also nearly a thousand transcendent scriptures floating within the magical energy.
Li Weiyi gasped, realizing that the Huo Xin contained an extraordinary power.
Once released, even ordinary Longevity Realm Giants might suffer a major setback.
"Fortunately, the power of the Transcendent One is difficult to mobilize, and since the Huo Xin didn't expect me to suddenly counterattack," Li Weiyi thought to himself, secretly relieved.
Of course, this extraordinary power is definitely not as powerful as the power within the Thousand Character Artifact Cloak.
Storing the power of a single move into a weapon consumes a great deal of one's cultivation.
Take Xue Jian Tang Ting as an example. For Tang Shituo, probably only Tang Wanzhou is worth him doing this for. Tang Wanqiu may not be qualified to have him sacrifice his cultivation to protect her.
It's not that we don't value it, but rather that there are other alternative methods.
Having foreseen this beforehand, Li Weiyi acted cautiously, trying several times before finally finding a method. Using the Evil Camel Bell, he first injected it into the ancestral field of the Huo Xin to suppress that transcendent power, and then extracted strands of the Blazing Divine Flame hidden in the Dao Palace.
Over the next few hours, Li Weiyi completely absorbed the Blazing Divine Flame.
The entire dark room was engulfed in flames.
Within the sea of fire, Golden Crow, Seven-clawed Fiery Heavenly Dragon, unicorns, luan birds, the Fusang Divine Tree, the sun, moon, and stars... the third level of the Six Purifying Karma gradually ascends from minor to major.
In the end, even the Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors could not withstand the power of the flames, curling up into a ball and hiding in a corner.
During this period, Wu Hongling returned three times.
Upon returning for the third time, she muttered to herself, "Could it be that I died from some strange force?"
She never came to the main hall again after that.
One day later.
"Receive!"
Li Weiyi gathered all the transformed flames, strand by strand, like a tidal wave, towards the Wind Mansion and rushed towards the Nine-Spreading Lotus.
"Boom!"
The flames, shaped like Golden Crow, crashed into the Nine-Spreading Lotus, instantly imprinting the petals with runes characteristic of the Golden Crow —resembling feathers, sharp claws, and flying birds.
Other forms of flame were subsequently branded onto it.
The Nine-Spread Lotus gradually began to change.
Countless scriptures shimmered, petals unfolded to their fullest extent, and radiance surged forth.
After the peak comes decline.
The petals fell one by one, transforming into flames and scriptures. Then, new petals grew on the lotus, maintaining its nine petals in an endless cycle.
All the petals fall nine times, and then grow nine more, just like going through eighty-one tribulations.
"Whoosh!"
All nine petals fell, transforming into nine wisps of rosy mist that permeated the Wind Palace.
This time, there were no scriptures amidst the flames and mist. All the scriptures shrank and converged on the bare lotus platform, which then solidified into a fruit the size of a mung bean.
The formation of Dao Fruit requires the absorption of a large amount of the Heaven and Earth Mana Qi.
Li Weiyi was unable to enter the Blood Mud Space, and dared not absorb the magical energy outside, fearing that at this crucial moment, he would attract Wu Hongling.
Therefore, he made a concerted effort to control the process, ensuring that the Dao Fruit only absorbed the Longevity Golden Pill from the Wind Palace.
The Longevity Golden Pill was given to me by Yao Qingxuan and has been kept in the Feng Mansion ever since.
At the same time, Li Weiyi swallowed the Phoenix Blood Tree Bark and Four-Colored Immortal Moss that he had prepared beforehand, and also absorbed the Golden Marrow. With the all-round improvement of his body from breaking through the realm, he tempered his physical body to the greatest extent.
"Sizzle."
The Psychic Power Spiritual Light from between his brows was released, urging the time power of the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish to weave Time Cocoon that enveloped his entire body.
We must quickly consolidate our realm to avoid any unforeseen circumstances.
"The power of time has not been suppressed. Indeed, it's not a problem with the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish, but rather that my Psychic Power Attainment is not high enough to contend with the power of heaven and earth here."
Inside the cocoon, six days later.
The Dao Fruit in Li Weiyi's mansion stabilized, having absorbed the Longevity Golden Pill completely, growing two or three times larger, with densely packed scriptures floating and shimmering.
Seven-clawed Fiery Heavenly Dragon circled and flew around, full of spirit, each seemingly containing the power to move mountains.
The quality of the magical energy within the Wind Mansion has improved significantly.
The Longevity Golden Pill could not be fully utilized; it could only support his cultivation up to the Seventh Heaven.
If the Dragon Seed Dao Fruit of the Wind Mansion wants to quickly cultivate to the eighth or Ninth Heaven, it can either find another suitable Longevity Golden Pill, or absorb the Six-clawed Immortal Dragon Qi to seize the Dao of the Ancient Immortal Dragon, which would allow for even faster progress.
The injuries have fully healed.
Li Weiyi retracted all the flames and magical energy into his body.
The dark room returned to its dim state.
Having broken through his cultivation realm, Li Weiyi had no intention of continuing his seclusion here.
First, this place is dangerous, and we must leave as soon as possible.
Secondly, we absolutely cannot miss this opportunity to excavate the Ancient Immortal Dragon Skeleton; we must quickly find a way out and return to the surface.
"Huh... there are seven of them..."
Li Weiyi emerged from the Time Cocoon but did not find the Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors in the dark room. However, he saw a bright blue light emanating from a cracked stone wall.
The aura of the Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors emanated from the crack.
Li Weiyi used telepathy to communicate with them.
Second Phoenix flew back and poked one of their heads out from the crack, reporting telepathically, "A great discovery! I found them; they were all following me there."
Li Weiyi took out the Yellow Dragon Sword and dug along the crack.
The stone wall was hard, and it took a lot of effort to carve out a passage several meters long.
On the other side of the passage is an underground cave. In the center of the cave, there is an excavated skylight that leads directly underground.
Li Weiyi stood quietly beside the courtyard, releasing his mental energy to sense downwards along the passage. He couldn't probe to the bottom at all; it was far more than ten thousand feet deep, and he couldn't help but feel horrified.
Beside the courtyard is a human skeleton sitting in meditation.
His entire body was as if cast in gold, and he wore a wide blue Confucian robe. His white hair was tied on top of his head, with a jade hairpin passing through it.
The skeleton had been sitting there for who knows how many years, yet it still possessed an extraordinary aura, like the eternal Dao. No dust could settle upon it.
Li Weiyi extended two fingers, touched the bones of his hand, and immediately withdrew them. "Flesh and blood, the five seas, all have decayed and decayed, only the bones remain forever. He has indeed cultivated Immortal Golden Bone, a transcendent relic."
Li Weiyi then looked at his brow, and then down.
His eyes narrowed sharply as he discovered that the golden bones on the skeleton's chest were completely shattered, and even the spine on its back was riddled with cracks. The scholar's robe, made of a special material, was tattered at the chest.
This must be the reason he died here!
Thinking of something, Li Weiyi immediately looked towards the courtyard next to her.
"Could he have encountered something terrible at the bottom of the courtyard, been seriously injured, and then escaped upwards? Did he dig this passageway in the courtyard to escape?"
Li Weiyi discovered ancient, faded characters on the stone wall next to the skeleton.
"I am Saints Learning Sea Pu Yanzi."
"At three, I learned to read; at four, I learned martial arts; at nine, I passed the imperial examinations and broke through to the next level. At twenty, I resolved to expel the spirits of the departed and restore light to the world. At sixty, I realized my youthful arrogance; the dark realm of Yingzhou could not be restored by one person alone."
"At three hundred years old, having traveled the world and witnessed the dangers of every hidden realm, I feel even more insignificant; the light of a firefly is insufficient to illuminate the hell on earth."
"After searching through countless ancient texts, I realized there was only one path to take: to find the Immortal Dao Dragon Vein and use the immortal path to dispel the darkness. Thus, I refined the Immortal Seeking Bead and traveled throughout the primordial wilderness, across great rivers and deep, mysterious realms."
"After five thousand years of solitary struggle and relentless searching, I finally found the dragon vein in the East Sea. I regret that my life ended here, and that I could not fulfill my grand ambition."
After reading it, Li Weiyi was both surprised and impressed.
Pu Yanzi was exceptionally talented. He was ambitious from a young age and had the world in his heart. Although he experienced setbacks and confusion, he devoted his entire life to expelling the Netherworld of the Departed.
It is precisely because there are such sages in the world that no matter how many villains and evil spirits wreak havoc on the world, the world will never perish.
Surprisingly, he actually found the Immortal Dao Dragon Vein.
The Immortal Dao Dragon Vein represents a once-prosperous era where immortals coexisted, all things flourished, and the Daoist arts were profound and mysterious. Not to mention refined medicines and Emperor Medicine, it could even nurture Immortal Medicine.
Immortal Soil is merely the soil near the Immortal Dao Dragon Vein of the immortal path.
Li Weiyi bowed deeply to Pu Yanzi, and the ill will he had felt towards the Saints Learning Sea because of Fu Wenyan vanished at that moment. Sometimes, it is just the charisma of one person that can change the public's evaluation of a habitat. Because of one person's evil, the entire habitat may be stigmatized.
"The Immortal Seeking Bead?"
Li Weiyi discovered that Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors were fighting over a bright blue bead, while four pages of paper covered with writing were scattered on the ground.
Upon picking it up, I discovered it was four pages of "ground book".
It's obvious without even guessing that it was left behind by Pu Yanzi.
Li Weiyi, not considering himself a sage, quickly put away the Book of Earth, intending to study it later. He bowed to the skeleton once more, saying, "Having had this opportunity, if I have the chance in the future, I will definitely send your remains back to your hometown for a proper burial."
He wouldn't make this promise just because he had the opportunity with anyone.
It was entirely because of his admiration for Pu Yanzi.
"What are you robbing? Give it to me, let me examine it first."
Li Weiyi confiscated the bright blue bead and held it in his hand. A chilling aura emanated from it, causing his skin, which was already at 70 Longevity Body strength, to sting.
Now I understand why the Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors tossed it around, never daring to swallow it.
Could this be the Immortal -Immortal Seeking Bead?
The Great Phoenix's thoughts echoed, "The Second Phoenix has already swallowed one! This one should belong to me; my abilities are the greatest."
Li Weiyi quickly grabbed Second Phoenix and held her in his hands.
There was a white light on its abdomen, flashing intermittently.
"It was this bead that made me swallow it. A faint consciousness remained within it. It said it was called the Immortal Seeking Bead, and that it was destined to be with me, helping me find places containing Immortal Soil and Immortal Qi." Second Phoenix's thoughts echoed.
"You swallowed the Immortal Seeking Bead, then what is this one of mine?" Li Weiyi looked at the bright blue pearl in his hand.
