Immortal Mist Devours Dragon Seed

The discussion ended half an hour later.

Outside the camp, after bidding farewell to Chang Yujian, Lu Qing, and Liu Ye, Li Weiyi caught up with Qing Ziqin: "Captain, I want to ask you something!"

Qing Ziqin stood gracefully against the wind, her ruqun skirt swaying as if she were draped in azure clouds. After Taishi Yu's explanation, her attitude towards Li Weiyi softened. "Go on!"

"You and Nangong Xiaowei are on good terms, aren't you?" Li Weiyi asked.

Qing Ziqin couldn't help but look towards the camp and saw Bai Chuan and Nangong standing together. The two were enveloped in magical energy, seemingly discussing something in secret.

Qing Ziqin went down the mountain. "If you have something to say, just ask her directly. Why are you asking me?"

"I'm not familiar with her, it would be too presumptuous of me to ask her sensitive questions."

Li Weiyi cut to the chase. "Is Nangong Xiaowei related to the Ancient Kingdom of the Years Ruin?"

"What makes you think I'd tell you these secrets? Are we that close?" Qing Ziqin said.

Li Weiyi, thick-skinned as ever, said, "Given the captain's personality, if we weren't so close, why would you answer every question I ask? Okay, okay, let's get down to business. The Annual Exam of the Ancient Kingdom of the Years Ruin is now one that no one can withdraw from. But is the captain really comfortable entrusting their lives to them?"

These words instantly struck a chord with Qing Ziqin. She said, "The 'Longevity Earth Ranking' and the Hundred Realms Crossing's are urgent matters. Only by entering the Ancient Kingdom of the Years Ruin can one possibly close the cultivation gap of ten or even a hundred years. Some are there for fame, some for profit, and many more are forced into it."

"Do you think Chang Yujian and Xu Daoqing were willing to take this risk? It was the forces behind them that forced them to go. The Hundred Realms Crossing is too important, and the interests involved are beyond imagination."

Li Weiyi asked, "And what about you, Captain?"

"I am for... the Netherworld Soul Divine Marrow."

Qing Ziqin, her face veiled, looked at him. "Only by finding the Netherworld Soul Divine Marrow can one quickly nourish the soul. Five hundred years is spring, five hundred years is autumn; the Netherworld Spirits are born in the Ancient Kingdom of the Years Ruin."

"But you are a Mind Master. What if your spiritual energy runs out in the Netherworld?" Li Weiyi asked.

Qing Ziqin said, "I have my own way."

"How about we form an alliance?" Li Weiyi asked.

Qing Ziqin looked at him with a puzzled expression. "What kind of alliance?"

"Although Mo Duanfeng, Bai Chuan, and Tang Wanzhou will definitely have their trump cards up their sleeves, we can't be completely unprepared. After all, we're the weakest. Do you really think that people don't have a selfish side when it comes to life and death?" Li Weiyi said.

Qing Ziqin's eyes narrowed with suspicion. "Why do you have so many thoughts? What preparations are you making? Why are you seeking an alliance with me? You are close friends with Chang Yujian and Liu Ye, why don't you seek them out?"

"Because the captain can control corpses and find many powerful corpses. And I am proficient in Puppetry Technique." Li Weiyi finally explained his purpose.

Qing Ziqin flatly refused and flew away quickly. "Don't even think about it."

"Captain, the Immortal Mist Sect has been destroyed; they've all turned to dust. If those seniors knew they could protect you even after death, they would surely be willing to sacrifice themselves. As Mind Masters, if we don't prepare in advance, we'll be at a huge disadvantage in the Netherworld. Think it through, come find me. I'll be waiting for your good news at the Qingyin Pavilion."

Li Weiyi watched her receding figure, his smile fading. He then went to the Scripture Pavilion and borrowed a book that detailed the Ancient Kingdom of the Years Ruin before returning to the Qingyin Pavilion.

Enter the Blood Mud Space.

Yu'er walked quickly over, holding a letter, and handed it to Li Weiyi: "Master, the Great Palace Master left you a letter!"

Li Weiyi had already told Yu'er about the Great Palace Master's situation. Given Yu'er's current age and mental capacity, as well as the various strange things that had happened to her, she had already accepted it all.

Li Weiyi took the envelope and took out the note. "The Ancient Kingdom of the Years Ruin is dangerous. When I went there to train, the Master Wu only gave me a Divine Sword Talisman to save my life. Today, I'm leaving you a Divine Sword Talisman as well. Don't bother me if you encounter danger."

"Let me remind you, I didn't use that Divine Sword Talisman back then. After returning, I received praise from the Master Wu. When faced with problems, you must use wisdom, plan ahead, discern good and bad fortune in advance, and have a backup plan, rather than relying on the strength of others."

"Any form of spiritual practice is about cultivating the ability to solve problems."

Li Weiyi searched the envelope but did not find the Divine Sword Talisman.

Turn the paper over and you'll finally see the small sword-shaped Pattern Imprints on it.

"Even the Great Palace Master has a cute side."

Li Weiyi smiled. The reason he said this was because the Great Palace Master had hinted in the letter that if he could avoid using the Divine Sword Talisman after going to the Ancient Kingdom of the Years Ruin, he would be praised in the future.

"Am I not the Great Palace Master? In Master's eyes, am I not lovable?" Yu'er pretended to be annoyed and turned away from him.

"You will be the Great Palace Master in the future... Yu'er is of course the cutest. The Great Palace Master was definitely not as good as you when she was young. Zen Sea Observing Mist only cares about the Great Palace Master's cultivation, how could she take care of a child?"

Three thousand years ago, Zen Sea Observing Mist had already slain a flying dragon in the East Sea and reached the level of Martial Path Son of Heaven. How could he have taken such good care of her as Li Weiyi? Although she sometimes didn't get to eat, was sometimes locked in the Blood Mud Space, and sometimes confined to a room.

With departure scheduled for three days, Li Weiyi was making the most of every minute.

He activated the Time Cocoon, took off his shirt, revealing a strong, well-proportioned, and masculine physique, sat cross-legged, and took out the remaining Six-clawed Immortal Dragon Qi and the Longevity Pill from his body for later use.

Over the past six months, Li Weiyi has carefully calculated that the total time he has spent comprehending the true scriptures within the Time Cocoon is only slightly over two years.

He had already cultivated the Divine Palace Dao Fruit to the peak of the Ninth Heaven, possessing 28,000 scriptures.

The Wind Mansion Dragon Seed cultivated into the Longevity Golden Pill, with over 20,000 scriptures.

"Using the Longevity Golden Pill of the Wind Mansion Dragon Seed as the Longevity Pill, we will advance the Divine Palace Dao Fruit to a higher level."

Li Weiyi ultimately decided to take Yu Yaozi's advice, spending half a day calming her mind and making sure she had thought things through before she hesitated any longer.

"Whoosh!"

The space around Feng Mansion trembled, and golden light burst forth, with streaks of Dragon Shadow energy shooting out.

The Time Cocoon trembled, as if it might shatter at any moment.

The golden core formed from the dragon seed slowly flew out and hovered in front of Li Weiyi. Tiny and dense scriptures flickered on the golden core, releasing surging energy.

Li Weiyi held his hands in a cupped gesture, releasing wisps of Immortal Mist Pure Radiance and magical energy from his Shenque acupoint, enveloping the Dragon Seed Golden Core and slowly pulling it toward his navel.

At the same time, the Seven-clawed Fiery Heavenly Dragon magic energy surging from the Wind Mansion rushed wildly towards the Divine Palace like a tidal wave.

The Divine Palace is boundless; wherever the Immortal Mist Pure Radiance can reach, that is Li Weiyi visible inner space.

"Boom!"

The moment the Dragon Seed Golden Elixir entered the Divine Palace, a strong sense of repulsion arose, as if two great enemies were meeting. Before even making contact, they were already irreconcilable.

Li Weiyi knew that it wasn't the Divine Dao Fruit that was rejecting the Dragon Seed Golden Elixir, but rather that the martial intent he generated while cultivating the Dragon Seed Golden Elixir was in conflict with the martial intent he generated while cultivating the Divine Dao Fruit.

Fortunately, I am currently only at the Dao Seed Realm, and my two wills are not strong enough yet.

If one were to reach the Longevity Realm or the Other Shore Realm, and then try to have one path devour another, that would be an extremely dangerous thing.

Under Li Weiyi's control, the Dragon Seed Golden Core and the Divine Palace Dao Fruit stabilized. Then, he manipulated the Immortal Mist Pure Radiance to fuse with the Seven-clawed Fiery Heavenly Dragon's Dharma Qi, making the Radiance turn golden.

The Divine Dao Fruit gradually transforms into the Longevity Golden Pill, with more and more cyan-gold patterns appearing.

Each passage in the scriptures of the Dao Fruit is as if it has been refined.

Time passed day by day.

The scriptures on the Dragon Seed Golden Elixir fell off and, after being nurtured in the Immortal Mist Pure Radiance, were continuously imprinted onto the Divine Palace Dao Fruit.

The Divine Dao Fruit was too powerful; the process of transforming into a Golden Core required a large amount of energy, which was far from enough with just the Dragon Seed Golden Core. Li Weiyi directly swallowed the Longevity Pill and continuously absorbed the Six-clawed Immortal Dragon Qi stored in various containers.

Nine days later.

The Seven-clawed Fiery Heavenly Dragon energy within the Wind Palace was completely transformed into Immortal Mist Pure Radiance.

The Dragon Seed Golden Elixir dimmed completely, turning into grains of light and disappearing without a trace.

The Divine Palace Dao Fruit grew stronger and underwent a complete transformation, becoming the Longevity Golden Pill. Its azure-gold radiance shone into the deeper reaches of the dark void, greatly expanding the visible space of the Divine Palace.

The interior is filled with a continuous stream of illusory light.

At times, at the edge of the world, twelve towering, sacred beams of light appeared.

Occasionally, yin-yang symbols and Swastika Symbol Imprint appear, rotating in the sky and on the ground.

Sometimes, bright stars and constellations rise. Sometimes, a gigantic seven-clawed celestial dragon flies around the golden elixir. Sometimes, lightning tears through the heavens and earth, entering the ancestral field.

Li Weiyi could hear chanting, Dragon Roar, and thunder, and he could also see Daoist script and countless secret seals.

During his years of cultivation within the Time Cocoon, he has read countless classic texts.

The entire Divine Palace was a chaotic mess, with myriad paths coexisting. Amidst this chaos, only the Longevity Golden Pill at the center remained eternal and immortal.

Li Weiyi had a premonition that if one day he could find the origin of the Dao among all the myriad paths, comprehend his own Great Dao, he would be able to Heaven and Earth Split Open, cleave through chaos, and step into the realm of ultimate greatness.

"Whoosh!"

Li Weiyi channeled a wisp of magical energy, transforming it into a celestial beam that streaked across the Divine Palace and struck the Sword Qi that Tang Wanzhou had left in his Wind Palace.

With a hiss, the Sword Qi shattered and vanished.

He couldn't do it when the Wind Mansion Dragon Seed transformed into the Longevity Golden Pill. He also couldn't do it when he cultivated the Divine Palace Dao Fruit to the peak of the Ninth Heaven.

But at this moment, he did it!

At this moment, Li Weiyi was certain that his strength had finally reached the level that Tang Wanzhou had reached when he left behind his Sword Qi.

He possessed the strength to transcend realms and defeat the Ancient Sect True Disciple.

Because Tang Wanzhou was definitely not in the Early First Realm at that time.

"Let's go all out and see if we can break free of the Universe Lock and enter the Longevity Realm."

After more than two years of impact on the Universe Lock, the Universe Lock on Li Weiyi's back is now only half its original thickness.

The instant Li Weiyi shattered the Sword Qi.

In the courtyard of the Qingyin Pavilion, Tang Wanzhou sat cross-legged under the moonlight, her back straight and her legs crossed. She felt a gentle breeze on her face, and a subtle ripple arose in her heart as she looked at the tightly closed gate in the distance.

"He broke through to immortality?"

Tang Wanzhou arrived yesterday!

It was Great Phoenix who knocked on the door.
