Battle Against Sheng Wulian
Li Weiyi's internal energy flowed rapidly through his 120 Trace Meridians, pulling the bowstring to its limit.
The seven-clawed celestial dragon fire arrow that condensed on the bowstring burst forth with a radiance even brighter than the Longevity Flower.
"Boom!"
The arrow shot out, causing the surrounding mirages to collapse into fog.
"Bang! Bang!"
In an instant, Sheng Wulian and the Prince Mingjiao clashed hands seven times, one using a grappling technique and the other a claw mark.
Prince Mingjiao was Sheng Wulian in the chest by Sheng Wulian's finger after he withstood Princess Dengfeng's flying sword and the Provincial Governor's Official Seal.
Ripples spread across his chest, and the Seventh-Rank Thousand Character Artifact armor emitted a metallic clanging sound. The Prince Mingjiao was sent flying backward, crashing through mirage buildings for miles before finally regaining his footing.
"Bang!"
The Longevity Flower was struck by a flaming arrow, and its radiance shattered.
The flowers burst open.
The three petals flew in three different directions.
Sheng Wulian was about to pluck the Longevity Flower and truly become a disciple when he watched helplessly as an arrow whizzed past him. He could clearly see that the dragon-shaped arrow had seven claws, but it was too fast to stop.
Princess Dengfeng was very close. She collected the blue heart-shaped petals that flew towards her and immediately rushed towards the direction of the red heart-shaped petals.
Prince Mingjiao, Zhu Seventy-two Heavens, Tang Zhan, and others also rushed over.
Li Weiyi took out a bright Hong Ling, activated it, and rolled it towards the Golden Petal that had flown a hundred feet to the right.
"Stop him! We can't let him get the Longevity Flower. If he gains any more power, we'll all die in the East Sea."
Fu Wenyan knew all too well Li Weiyi's ruthlessness; almost all the members of the Rice Cult had been purged, so how could he be an exception?
In his hand, he wielded Bronze Brush of the Ninth-grade Thousand Character Artifact. The white, transcendent hairs at the tip of the brush transformed into a waterfall, intertwining with the Hong Ling.
The Bronze Brush is far superior in quality and power to the Hong Ling, and is a magical artifact that even those at the Great Longevity Realm would covet. It contains strands of transcendent power.
"Then kill him."
Ye Cang ran atop the Mirage Tower, three magical blades spinning along the Hong Ling as they flew towards Li Weiyi first.
Meng Hualong and Fu Ba Wu released the Dao Heart Manifestation the "Seventy-Two Sages" and the "Thousand Character Text" Dao Hearts respectively, which suppressed Li Weiyi from a distance of a hundred feet. The two strode forward, one like a dragon and the other like a tiger.
Zuoqiu Hongting flashed out and stood in front of Li Weiyi, raising her Peach Wood Staff horizontally.
Instantly, an array shield in the shape of a Bagua appeared, with dense Formation Script patterns blocking the three flying knives, and then colliding with the Dao Heart Manifestation of Meng Hualong and Fu Ba Wu's Dao hearts.
"Boom!"
It actually blocked it.
In terms of mastery of formations, Zuoqiu Hongting far surpasses Li Weiyi, who doesn't study formations much.
Li Weiyi pointed to the sky, Seventy-two Lightning Strike Arrays manifested above Fu Wenyan's head. The seventy-two bolts of lightning poured down like a waterfall, engulfing him with tremendous force.
Taking this opportunity, the Hong Ling, like a long river, surged and trembled violently, breaking free from the Bronze Brush's entanglement, and was retrieved by Li Weiyi.
After obtaining the Golden Petal from the Hong Ling, Li Weiyi, having heard Zuoqiu Hongting say that they could not be swallowed directly, first stored them in the Feng Mansion.
"Walk!"
Li Weiyi noticed that many powerful figures were rushing over and urging Zuoqiu Hongting to retreat.
Suddenly, an incomparably terrifying aura swept in from all directions.
Li Weiyi and Zuoqiu Hongting's vision was swallowed by the white light, and they could no longer see anything. They could only feel that Sheng Wulian was like a god or a sacred mountain, moving towards them at an extremely fast speed, with a grand and majestic presence.
Both Meng Hualong and Fu Ba Wu were Sheng Wulian's aura and dodged to the left and right.
Almost the instant the two dodged, Sheng Wulian shot out like a white beam from between them, shattering the Bagua-shaped formation with a single palm strike, turning it into a sky full of peach blossoms.
Li Weiyi used his Heavenly Eye his eyebrows to break through the "Heavenly Light of Annihilation" and stepped forward without hesitation, unleashing his strongest palm strike.
Martial arts and telekinesis are combined.
He unleashed the Six Purifying Karma, the third level of its mastery, and struck out with a palm. His magical energy and mental power combined to condense into a celestial dragon and Golden Crow, Sheng Wulian palm prints colliding with each other.
This palm strike was even more powerful than a third-level imperial technique.
"Boom!"
Li Weiyi's long hair flew wildly, and the mirage behind her exploded completely.
Surprise flashed in Sheng Wulian's eyes. Although his palm strike was not a powerful Daoist technique, it was still something that no one below the Young Son of Heaven could withstand.
From Zuoqiu Hongting's brows, a radiant flame of Psychic Power Spiritual Light, as dazzling as the blazing sun, emanated. She swung her Peach Wood Staff, unleashing a triple Bagua array that sent Sheng Wulian was battling Li Weiyi with palm strikes, flying back dozens of feet.
"Good!"
"Li Weiyi, Liu Fengshu, today is your death day."
In the next instant, Sheng Wulian mobilized the primordial energy within his body, and his 99% Longevity Body's blood and energy surged like a river.
He unleashed both palms simultaneously, striking out with the Primal Chaos Palm and the Emperor Ji Seal respectively.
Zuoqiu Hongting placed the Peach Wood Staff in front of her, and under the impetus of her vast mental power, it quickly grew into a Pan Peach tree.
The Pan Peach tree was covered with petal-shaped runes.
Li Weiyi didn't have time to use the Six Purifying Karma again, so he directly unleashed the Purple Sky Lei Seal.
The Pan Peach tree blocked the Primal Chaos Palm, while the Purple Sky Lei Seal met the Emperor Ji Seal.
"Boom!"
The power unleashed by the three of them leveled the mirage that stretched for miles, and the waves swept in all directions.
"Whoosh!"
Liu Ye ran over, leaping over Li Weiyi and Zuoqiu Hongting from behind, and cleaved down with his halberd as if splitting a mountain, landing on Sheng Wulian's head.
A brilliant white light shone above Sheng Wulian's head, blocking the battle halberd, but his body was blasted into the sea.
Three miles away, Si Wuyan transformed into a black cloud, streaking across the sky in pursuit of Princess Dengfeng.
The Wu Hongling and the Purple-clothed Woman arrived from two different directions; the former's footwork was mysterious, while the latter rode a boat into the air.
Purple-clothed Woman stood on Green Boat, holding a zither and playing music.
A thousand-foot-long string ripped through the void, its sound piercing, sharp as a sword, and unpredictable.
"A large number of experts from the Dao Palace have arrived. We must leave immediately."
Li Weiyi and his two companions affixed the Divine Speed Talisman and returned towards Fengshi Reef.
Sheng Wulian, Wu Hongling, Purple-clothed Woman chased after them to Fengshi Reef, where they saw thousands of martial artists from Lingxiao Shengjing raising hundreds of magical artifacts. Five battle formations moved rapidly and surrounded them, with heavy weapons flying out from each formation.
The five battle formations originated from the Zhu Clan, Lei Xiao Sect Zuoqiu Courtyard Qiu Clan, Xue Jian Tang Ting, and Jiu Li Tribe, respectively.
Seeing this, Sheng Wulian two companions immediately retreated and returned to Mirage Dragon City to deal with the Prince Mingjiao had stolen the Red Petal.
"The Dragon Tribe is powerful in the East Sea; we must not allow the Prince Mingjiao to escape back to the islands."
Sheng Wulian turned around and looked at Li Weiyi and the other two who had returned to the ship. The sense of defeat in his heart told him that if he did not kill these three, his confidence in being invincible in the same realm would be shrouded in gloom.
On the Jiu Li Tribe's ship, all the martial artists stared at Li Weiyi with burning eyes, shouting "The Hidden Person is mighty!"
The hermits of the Jiu Li Hidden Gate, in particular, felt a great sense of pride and held their heads high.
His ability to go toe-to-toe with the Dao Palace Shinden Sheng Wulian is utterly mind-blowing.
It's worth noting that at the Commander's Feast, Zhu Seventy-two Heavens Sheng Wulian palms, and Zhu Qishier Chongtian coughed up blood and staggered backward.
"Have the rest of the people returned?"
Li Weiyi was worried that the martial arts practitioners in Lingxiao Shengjing would suffer retaliation from the Dao Palace.
Tang Zhan, carrying two swords, leaped onto the Jiu Li Tribe's ship. "Except for some old guys whose lifespans are nearing their end who still want to fight, everyone else has retreated!"
Zhu Seventy-two Heavens landed on the deck, extremely unwilling. "The Red Petal have been taken by the Prince Mingjiao! Mirage Dragon City is the closest to us. I suggest we bring the army over and suppress them all."
With only the three hundred Blade and Axe Battalion of the Zhu Clan, Zhu Seventy-two Heavens was not confident that he could simultaneously contend with the numerous powerful figures of the Dao Palace and the Dragon Tribe.
Li Weiyi gazed at the majestic Mirage Dragon City in the distance, where enormous black shadows surged into the city from the bottom of the water. On the surface of the water, dark clouds filled the sky, covering everything.
The demon beast army under the Dragon Tribe is arriving one after another.
In terms of numbers, they far surpass the Lingxiao Shengjing Human Race.
Li Weiyi said, "Although the battle formation is strong, its movement speed is slow. It can only be used to support us and for defense and counterattack."
Zhu Seventy-two Heavens, knowing that going now would be tantamount to starting a full-scale war with the Demon Race. A war against the Demon Race in the East Sea would undoubtedly result in defeat.
Li Weiyi comforted him, "There can't be only one Longevity Flower; there's always another chance."
Zhu Seventy-two Heavens nodded deeply, then laughed heartily, "No matter what, the appearance of the Longevity Flower means that the excavation of the Ancient Immortal Dragon Skeleton will indeed bring forth an opportunity to cultivate the Longevity Body."
"We've only just started digging!" Zhu Yibai said.
Zhu Seventy-two Heavens said, "Yes, that's right."
On the turbulent sea, the Water Ferret Immortal, stepping on dark red smoke, raced swiftly towards them.
It cried out urgently, "Brother Ren, Her Highness the Princess is being hunted down by Si Wuyan, Gai Canghai, and Gai Lingyun. She couldn't return to Fengwei Reef and has fled south!"
One sword cleaves the ocean, two swords battle the clouds.
Gai Canghai and Gai Lingyun are stronger than Huo Xin and Zhen Xin in combat.
Li Weiyi looked down at the ship and smiled, "Don't worry, Her Highness the Princess must have brought a magic escape technique with her, she'll be fine."
"Something's wrong... something really is wrong. The people from the Dao Palace also brought escape talismans."
The Water Ferret Immortal was so anxious she was jumping up and down, her words slurred. "If Her Highness the Princess could handle it, she would definitely return to the island. Now, it can only mean that the enemy is too powerful, and she doesn't even have a chance to return. My cousin and the others have already rushed over, but the Demon Race is not as skilled in battle formations as you humans; they can only rely on their demon lives to fight."
Li Weiyi frowned, feeling that what the Water Ferret Immortal said made some sense.
"Brother Ren, don't hesitate, lend us a hand."
"In terms of the number of top experts, the Lingxiao human race is far inferior to the Dao Palace and Du'e Temple, by a huge margin. In terms of the number of soldiers and demons, it is far inferior to the East Sea Demon Race. You cannot rely entirely on Du'e Temple; you need more allies. Her Highness the princess said that she has a five-thousand-year-old elixir," Water Ferret Immortal.
Upper Chief and elite chiefs are difficult to cultivate later in life, unless one has a great opportunity.
However, ordinary chief cultivators are relatively easy for ancient sects to cultivate. For example, the reward for the ten geniuses in the Qianlong Lantern Festival is that they can go to the Du'e Temple to reshape their Trace Meridians, wind palace, and ancestral field, thus creating a stronger foundation for cultivation.
At that time, they had all reached the Five Seas Realm, and the difficulty of building a foundation had greatly increased, yet they were still able to do it.
In the Spring Realm, the Ancient Sect possesses numerous methods for cultivating Hundred Meridian Lines All Silver, and can also select the best from multiple living realms.
