The Sea Split Open, the Dragon Skeleton Appeared

"You two are being unfair! How can you hog all the benefits? I too am a dragon cultivator, Young Son of Heaven, and I also want to condense my Dao Fruit and break through to the Seventh Heaven."

Ge Xiantong was full of complaints, because he heard that Zuoqiu Hongting had broken through to the Seventh Heaven cultivation last night, and he was very anxious.

Hidden Eleven chimed in, "That's really unreasonable! Now that you have Fiancée, you've forgotten that we're the ones on your side. In what way are we Hidden Twenty-Six inferior to Zuoqiu Hongting? If you don't take us, you should take her, right?"

No one knows who Hidden Twenty-Six is.

The hidden figures of the Hidden Gate would definitely be more supportive of Yao Yin.

In the following days, seizing the Six-clawed Immortal Dragon Qi became much more difficult. Whenever Li Weiyi and Zuoqiu Hongting made a move, all the martial artists from all sides would swarm to follow.

They could only rely on the speed advantage of the Divine Speed Talisman to collect a portion of the Immortal Dragon's Qi first.

There was no way to use the Disguise Art to evade.

Because the time window is very short, we must get there as quickly as possible, and there is no way to conceal our presence.

Li Weiyi's cultivation level was rising steadily, and the Dragon Seed Dao Fruit in the Wind Mansion was on the verge of a breakthrough, becoming exceptionally active, but it was still just a hair's breadth away.

With his Seven Clawed Heavenly Dragon Qi, he was able to easily crush martial artists at the Ninth Heaven cultivation, despite only being at the Seventh Heaven.

If they are all at the Seventh Heaven cultivation, then one person can fight a whole group.

Therefore, to break through to a higher realm, one needs to absorb far more Six-clawed Immortal Dragon Qi than other martial artists.

During this time, Li Weiyi was ambushed three times: once by the Dao Palace's Sheng Wulian, and twice by enemies of unknown identity.

The ambush by Sheng Wulian was extremely dangerous. The opponent suddenly emerged from the water, forcing Li Weiyi to use the Protective Talisman given to her by Hidden Lord, thus averting disaster.

Such assassinations are the most terrifying, often killing the victim in a single move before they can even use their trump cards or tricks.

By the seventh day.

A message came from the seabed. "The Ancient Immortal Dragon Skeleton have set sail today."

The entire Nine Ring Reef waters instantly became heavy and tense, filled with busy yet solemn activity.

Ships from various states and major powers of the Lingxiao Shengjing Human Race, fully loaded with human martial artists, set sail and left, far away from this sea area.

Only the five hundred strongest individuals selected in advance were able to ascend Fengshi Reef.

The army of monsters from the East Sea swam towards a place hundreds of miles away.

When the Ancient Immortal Dragon Skeleton emerge from the sea, the dissipated Six-clawed Immortal Dragon Qi will be extremely dense. That will be the time when all parties truly collect and absorb it; what precedes is merely minor skirmishes.

Besides the Six-clawed Immortal Dragon Qi, who knows what other wondrous treasures might be born in the world.

When a celestial being descends, all things come to life.

That's the remains of an ancient immortal dragon, enough to cause changes in heaven and earth, bring auspicious omens to the land, Life Medicine from the void, and cause springs to gush from the clouds. Ordinary seawater might instantly turn into a spiritual spring.

A fallen immortal scale is an unparalleled opportunity for Dao Seed Realm Martial Cultivator; it can be exchanged for a spirit pill.

It is widely believed that the Longevity Flower in Mirage Dragon City is an auspicious treasure that was born out of thin air due to the excavation by the immortal corpse.

However, during this period, the sea area may collapse, and dangerous forces are lurking everywhere. Only by staying on the nine islands and reefs can one be safe.

The martial arts practitioners who retreated to distant seas could only absorb the remaining immortal dragon energy collected by the martial arts practitioners on the nine islands and reefs, which had dissipated to hundreds of miles away.

No martial arts practitioners withdrew from Du'e Temple and Dao Palace.

They are all exceptionally talented disciples; their numbers are small, and the island can accommodate them.

In particular, Dao Palace, who monopolizes three islands and reefs, is incredibly wealthy. All the treasures found in the waters surrounding these three islands and reefs belong to them, making competition much less intense.

Martial arts practitioners from various forces in Lingxiao Shengjing successively arrived at Fengshi Reef.

Almost all the young prodigies of the Dragon Clan were on the list.

The other group consisted of old guys at the Ninth Heaven of the Dao Seed Realm, who were there to attempt to break through to the Longevity Realm.

The top-ranked experts in the "Cycle Record" all made their appearance.

Li Weiyi left Yao Yin at Fengshi Reef, where she was protected by three elder clan leaders and the chieftains of various tribes. He was worried that she might be assassinated in the chaos of vying for opportunities at Du'e Temple.

The four priests remained on the ship, hundreds of miles away, in case danger arose and no one was left to oversee the situation.

The celestial phenomena began to change.

The dark clouds moved swiftly, and the sea breeze grew stronger.

Li Weiyi asked the three clan leaders, "How confident are you three in breaking through to the next realm?"

The Elder Chìlí smiled bitterly, "The three of us have reached the peak of the Ninth Heaven for more than ten years, Dao Fruit have indeed undergone considerable transformation, with golden threads appearing on them. However, the Universe Lock remains completely unmoved, like a divine chain running through our bodies. No matter how we try to cleanse it, it doesn't seem to thin or weaken. I'm afraid we'll have to absorb the Six-clawed Immortal Dragon Qi to cleanse it."

The Universe Lock is the first Longevity Lock in the Longevity Realm.

To enter the Longevity Realm, one needs to complete three steps at the Ninth Heaven the Dao Seed Realm.

The first step is to locate the Universe Lock within your body.

The second step is that the Dao Fruit must be transformed into the Longevity Golden Pill.

The third step is to break free from the Universe Lock.

Only when a certain number of golden threads appear on the Dao Fruit, and one finds their own Universe Lock within the chaotic void within their body, can one be considered to have reached the peak of the Ninth Heaven the Dao Seed Realm.

Martial arts practitioners who cultivate to the point of achieving the Golden Core can be called "half-step immortality".

The function of the Longevity Pill is actually only to help cultivate the Golden Core. Whether one can break the Universe Lock still depends on the martial artist himself. Of course, the power of the Golden Core can help break the Universe Lock to a certain extent.

The Elder Qílí asked, "What worries does the Hidden Person have?"

Li Weiyi said, "I'm worried that some martial artists who have reached the pinnacle of their cultivation will break through to immortality in a short period of time, and we don't have Longevity Realm Martial Cultivator to contend with them."

"Don't worry, it will take several days, or even longer, to stabilize the Golden Core before breaking through to the next realm. Besides, once the Ancient Immortal Dragon Skeleton emerge from the sea, the older generation of powerful figures will naturally come out together and won't allow Longevity Realm Martial Cultivator to cause trouble," said the Elder Chìlí optimistically.

"Whoosh!"

The Liu Ye leaped across the sea, each step covering dozens of feet, before landing on Fengshi Reef.

He pulled Li Weiyi and Tang Zhan to the seaside, released his Dao Heart Manifestation to isolate himself from the outside world, and said solemnly, "Something big might have happened!"

"What do you mean?" Tang Zhan asked.

Liu Ye said, "During this period, there have been unusual movements in the Netherworld of the Departed. Some lords who should have been staying deep within the Netherworld have appeared in the East Sea. The Sentinel Spirit Army has sentinels that have been monitoring the situation in the Netherworld, sending messages every three days."

"But since the Sentinel Lord entered the seabed to participate in the excavation of the Ancient Immortal Dragon Skeleton, we've lost contact twice in the past few days."

Li Weiyi said, "You mean to say that the Sentinel might have been killed, and the Netherworld might launch an attack on the Nine Ring Reef area?"

Liu Ye said, "Several sentinels have gathered near the East Sea. Communication has been cut off twice, meaning there has been no contact for nine days. The situation may be extremely dangerous."

"Beneath the Nine Ring Reef, Transcendent and Longevity Realm Giants are gathered. Where would the Netherworld of the Departed get such audacity? It's more likely that the Dongxu Ghost City would take action themselves..."

Tang Zhan's heart skipped a beat when he saw Liu Ye's solemn expression. "The Dao Palace, the Du'e Temple, the Western Demon Race —all the important figures from all sides are here. Even the Dongxu Ghost City must be wary, right?"

Liu Ye's face was as cold as iron. "Something must have gone wrong. We must prepare for the worst. You need to spread the word and alert everyone."

Li Weiyi nodded slightly, gazing at the boundless sea, a strong sense of crisis rising within him. "Evacuating at this time would be even more dangerous."

Li Weiyi and Tang Zhan immediately informed the elders of the major forces in Lingxiao Shengjing of Liu Ye's whistle warning, preventing it from spreading widely for fear of causing panic.

One after another, figures immediately left Fengshi Reef and headed towards the ships in the outer sea area.

Afterwards, Li Weiyi sent someone to deliver a message to Chang Yujian and Princess Dengfeng Du'e Temple. No matter what, they were allies, and if something really happened, they would have to face it together.

Today's gesture of goodwill may bring future rewards.

Originally, Li Weiyi planned to take this opportunity to lead a group of powerful warriors to attack an island reef in the Dao Palace. Now, he can only lay low and prioritize stability.

"Yu'er, if anything happens, you must stay close to your master. Your master will carry you on his back."

Firefly Flame appeared on the sea surface. The waves were inky black, rising higher and higher, as if they were about to crash down on the sky.

In some areas, huge whirlpools appeared.

Seawater is pouring into the earth.

At the bottom of the pitch-black vortex, the roar of Dragon Roar.

"Aww!"

The Six-clawed Immortal Dragon Qi soared into the sky, densely packed, and scattered in all directions.

Within a radius of 300 miles around the Nine Ring Reef, ten thousand dragons roared, and golden light and flames covered the water's surface.

On Fengshi Reef, in the eyes of the martial arts practitioners from the Lingxiao Shengjing, the waves of the sea resembled black, moving mountains, several times higher than the island and reef. No one dared to leave the island and go out to sea; they were all frightened.

If it weren't for the protective Formation Script, the entire island would have been swallowed up long ago.

"Boom!"

At the center of the island, the Dragon-Locking Pillar shook violently, making the entire world seem to tremble.

On the island, everyone was on tenterhooks, holding their breath in fear. No one dared to speak, for fear that the Saint Spirit King Mind Master Formation Script not be able to withstand it.

"Never mind! I came to the East Sea to Contest for Life, so I must go and collect the Six-clawed Immortal Dragon Qi."

The Great Elder of Lei Xiao Sect was nearing the end of his lifespan. Undeterred by the danger, he was the first to rush out of Fengshi Reef and into the undulating mountain ranges. Soon, his body disappeared.

Under such celestial phenomena, any senses released will be instantly shattered.

Dao Seed Realm Martial Cultivator cannot perceive situations ten or even dozens of miles away.

"If I don't fight, I'll die of old age in a few years, and I'm not willing to accept that."

Zhu Seventy-two Heavens plunged into the vast ocean.

The older generation of powerful figures, all over a hundred years old and at the peak of the Ninth Heaven, stepped on their magical energy, ready to brave the storm and fight for a different destiny.

More martial arts practitioners stood at various points on the island and released hundreds of magical artifacts from their ancestral fields, which flew in all directions like celestial maidens scattering flowers to collect the Six-clawed Immortal Dragon Qi.

The harvest may be less, but safety is guaranteed.

Li Weiyi unleashed Hong Ling that swept across the sea near Fengshi Reef, drawing in the dragon energy to refine and absorb it, gradually pushing his way to the eighth heaven.

Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors have reached the Eighth Heaven of Dao Seed Realm. None of them can match the combat power of the old guys at the peak of the Ninth Heaven Dao Seed Realm.

If one's cultivation continues to improve and reaches the peak of the Eighth Heaven of Dao Seed Realm, one's combat power could even be comparable to that of Ninth Heaven chief like Qiong Ji Daozi.

They were very proud and full of confidence, jumping around Li Weiyi, Yao Yin, Yu'er, and Hidden Twenty-Four, all wanting to go to sea and be the first to break through to the Ninth Heaven.

The Second Phoenix broke through to the eighth level of the realm first, which stimulated the other Six Phoenix.

Previously, they took medicine together, broke through realms together, faced enemies together, and advanced and retreated together. But ever since Second Phoenix obtained the Immortal Seeking Bead, everything changed, and she became the most favored one.

Over the past few days, Second Phoenix has also absorbed a lot of the Six-clawed Immortal Dragon Qi, making her aura exceptionally strong, and she is continuously rising to the peak of the eighth heaven.

A strange, icy sensation came from my chest.

Li Weiyi reached out and took it out; it was a treasure box. Inside were bright blue beads obtained from Pu Yanzi's remains.

A layer of light blue ice crystals had formed on the surface of the treasure box at some unknown time.

It's obvious that something has changed about the bead inside.

Just as Li Weiyi was wondering, a series of deafening roars came from the distant sea.

"Splash!"

The sea surface collapsed, revealing cracks hundreds of miles long and hundreds of feet wide.

At the crack, seawater pours down, forming a waterfall that plunges into the abyss.

If viewed from above, one would see that the 300-mile stretch of sea where the Nine Ring Reef are located is completely covered by crisscrossing cracks. Dazzling golden light surges out from the cracks, shooting straight into the clouds thousands of feet high.

Those golden rays were all the Six-clawed Immortal Dragon Qi, countless in number, as thick as a wall, spreading hundreds of miles away.

Screams echoed through the sea.

Some of the older generation of powerful figures were unable to dodge; some were propelled into the sky by the Six-clawed Immortal Dragon Qi, their bodies riddled with holes. Others were pulled towards the cracks in the sea by an inexplicable Wind Force, their bodies exploding.

Zhu Seventy-two Heavens escaped back to Fengshi Reef through a gap in the array at the top of the Dragon-Locking Pillar, still shaken. "The entire sea area cracked open, and I saw part of the Ancient Immortal Dragon Skeleton's corpse beneath the crack. Its aura was terrifying beyond compare, it was absolutely frightening, and its claws were even larger than the reef beneath our feet."

A strange thing happened: the Six-clawed Immortal Dragon Qi on the sea surface seemed to be attracted by some force, turning into an overwhelming tide that surged towards Fengshi Reef.

The treasure box in Li Weiyi's hand trembled violently.

The martial arts practitioners of Lingxiao Shengjing Realm on Fengshi Reef were excitedly boiling, feeling that they were blessed by the heavens. Magic weapons were thrown out like rain, like fishing for dragons, constantly pulling the Six-clawed Immortal Dragon Qi onto the island.

"Yu'er, come and hold this for me."

Li Weiyi didn't have time to think about the relationship between the beads in the box and the Six-clawed Immortal Dragon Qi. He took out the Huo Xin crimson gourd, which transformed into the size of a palace and flew into the air to collect it.

"It's here! The familiar Immortal Qi... Another Longevity Flower has been born, fifty miles to the west." Second Phoenix landed on Li Weiyi's shoulder, gazing at the western sea.
