Parting Again

Almost suffocating from her kisses, Li Weiyi finally controlled her slender waist and jade back, pinning her to the ground and taking her place on top.

Li Weiyi cupped the back of her head with one hand and gently placed it on the ground, while his other hand rested on her wet, delicate shoulder as he looked down at her.

Below, her sharp eyes held a mixture of anticipation and shyness.

"You've already gone up there, what are you hesitating for? If it doesn't work, then go down... um..." Tang Wanzhou said.

Li Weiyi buried his face in her chest, his hands roaming over her firm and supple body. The two finally found their rhythm, their initial wildness and frenzy gradually turning into tenderness and affection.

Gradually, Li Weiyi realized something was wrong, and she started to cry, tears streaming down her face.

As their lips parted, Li Weiyi withdrew all her emotions, including her hands. She had never imagined that Tang Wanzhou, in his normal state, would have such a vulnerable moment.

"Li Weiyi, I feel so bad. Why do I feel so bad? I thought that letting my emotions run wild and not suppressing them would make me feel better, but it seems that this is not a good medicine."

Tang Wanzhou's clothes were disheveled, revealing the thin inner garment, and his full chest rose and fell with his sobs, as if he had been humiliated by Li Weiyi.

Although her eyes were still sharp, even a blind person could see that she was putting on a brave face.

Li Weiyi asked, "Is it because of this crushing defeat?"

"I've experienced defeat before in the Lingxiao Shengjing, and I've seen soldiers fall one by one. I've been through moments of even greater despair, but I've never felt this sense of defeat and pain," she said.

Li Weiyi said, "It's different! In the Lingxiao Shengjing, although you are the young lord, possessing the power to command the land and deploy troops, and the martial artists of the Northern Border all trust and respect you, in the end, the one truly responsible for everyone's life and death is the Camel King. You know very well that you have a solid backing behind you."

"But you established the Lesser Yang Division from scratch, you selected everyone, and they only obey your orders."

"Your mindset will naturally be different; you'll feel responsible for everyone's life and death. No matter how dangerous the situation, you'll understand that you can only rely on yourself; there's no one to back you up. If you fail, there will be no future."

"But Tang Wanzhou, is all of this really your fault? Have we really lost?"

"If Mo Duanfeng and Bai Chuan hadn't been so arrogant, we would still be hiding in the shadows, slowly cultivating our strength. Wasn't our initial plan to defeat Chu Yutian within twenty years? It was these two who forced us to confront an enemy many times stronger than ourselves ahead of schedule."

"In terms of losses, the Taiyin Sect and the Netherworld of the Departed suffered far greater losses than we did in this battle. And as far as I know, Nangong, Liu Ye, and Qing Ziqin all escaped."

"Given such a significant advantage, this outcome is something I think should be causing Chu Yutian pain and distress."

Tang Wanzhou quieted down, lying there with her long hair loose, pouting as she looked at him. "You're not lying to me, are you? I'm so confused right now, I can't think straight."

Li Weiyi said, "In my opinion, your current state of mind is precisely the kind of inner trial that all geniuses in the Longevity Realm must undergo."

"In the Five Seas Realm and the Dao Seed Realm, we are the younger generation, just beginning to show our talents. We have no taboos and can do whatever we want without causing too much damage, because the older generation is protecting us."

"In the Longevity Realm, everything has changed! We must learn to rely on ourselves, to do everything alone, to face all dangers, and to bear all the consequences."

"Only by undergoing this inner trial and reaching a transcendent level can one stand alone at the pinnacle of strength. At that time, others will rely on us and need our shelter from the storm."

"If there is a bridge between geniuses and the strong, if there is a process of transformation, it must be in the Longevity Realm. We are experiencing all of this now."

Tang Wanzhou's eyes brightened again, his dejection vanishing. "Well said, but not good enough. In my opinion, we should both set our goals higher. The Longevity Realm is a process of tempering our hearts, while Transcendence is another kind of pioneering and tempering, where we overcome obstacles, reveal our sharpness, and fight against heaven and earth. Only the Stored Son of Heaven and the Martial Path Son of Heaven can truly be considered the strong of Yingzhou. Hmm... Shall we continue?"

Li Weiyi smiled wryly, seeing that she had no intention of continuing, and said, "Forget it, you've already gotten me all fired up, my heart is pounding, I feel like I could break the heavens, and I can barely control my injuries... Don't make things worse for both of us."

Both of them were now quite rational and no longer had that impulsive emotion.

Tang Wanzhou pulled her loose black robe back together, propped up her tired body, and tied her long hair back up, revealing her slender and sexy neck with some white and red marks.

Suddenly, she said, "It's all your fault for being so indecisive. Now I'm in a dilemma. If your Fiancée were anyone else, I could choose not to take responsibility for you and pretend nothing happened. But it's Zuoqiu Courtyard. If you marry Zuoqiu Hongting in the future, I will definitely feel extremely unbalanced and will definitely cause a huge scene. You should be prepared."

Li Weiyi had already stood up. "You're crying, how can I continue?"

"You don't need to repeat yourself. Just forget about it." Tang Wanzhou was clearly furious, feeling utterly humiliated and knowing he would never be able to hold his head high in front of Li Weiyi again.

This time, there was no Six Thoughts Mind Curse.

Several days later.

Li Weiyi and Tang Wanzhou have recovered from their injuries and emerged from underground, back to their peak condition.

During this time, Li Weiyi told Qing Ziqin what Nangong had told her. Tang Wanzhou also told Xu Daoqing about the Taixu Race.

On the mountain ridge.

The moonlight of time shines down from afar, falling on her sculpted face, her profile is distinct, her ponytail sways, her eyelashes are long, her nose and crystal red lips draw people closer, and she still has that aloof, outstanding and heroic temperament.

But Li Weiyi could no longer simply regard her as a comrade-in-arms on the path of martial arts cultivation, just as he had once, because he had seen her gentle and tender side, and her breath as sweet as orchids.

Tang Wanzhou stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the layers of mountains to the south, and said proudly, "The Tiandu River Nether Domain is actually an excellent place for cultivation. It is vast enough, ranking third in size among all underworlds, making it easy to hide."

"Secondly, after so many days, the Taiyin Sect and the Departed Spirit Marquis must have assumed that all the Lesser Yang Guard have fled far away, most likely to the heart of the ancient kingdom."

"Third, the Tiandu River Nether Domain is located at the southern end of the Ancient Kingdom of the Years Ruin, a straight-line distance of seventy to eighty thousand miles from Time Ruins and Chun City, far from the center of the struggle."

"Now that you've just broken through to the Longevity Realm and obtained the Netherworld Soul Divine Marrow, you're at a stage where your cultivation can surge rapidly in a short time. Going into seclusion is the best choice."

Li Weiyi asked, "And you?"

Tang Wanzhou said, " Under the Fusang Divine Tree, one could seclude oneself for a year or two, or spend a few years breaking through in the Netherworld, and naturally break through the third Longevity Lock. However, I have an even faster option: to break through in battle. In martial arts cultivation, only by surviving a hundred battles and always possessing a strong spirit can one break through the barrier to the highest realm in the future. Otherwise, one will definitely stagnate at a certain realm, achieving only a mediocre or above-average success despite having extraordinary talent."

"Energy and spirit are hard to acquire, but easy to lose; I cherish them immensely."

"Furthermore, I am the Holy Master of the Lesser Yang Division. I must kill Jingzhen as soon as possible and inform every Lesser Yang Guard of his and Xu Daoqing's situation. The longer we delay, the greater the danger."

"The Taixu Race is too strange. Before killing Jingzhen, we must be wary of everyone around us."

"After I've done all this, I'll go to the Tiandu River Nether Domain to find you."

Li Weiyi took out two Immobilization Talisman and two Divine Speed Talisman, and handed them to her. "Be careful."

"I'll take four talismans from you, and return four medicinal herbs to you in the future. I'm leaving!"

Tang Wanzhou put the talisman into his sleeve and went down the mountain without looking back.

Under the moonlight on the horizon.

The slender, dark figure and its shadow on the ground receded further and further into the boundless wilderness, disappearing into the wind.

Li Weiyi knew very well that Tang Wanzhou was right.

With the help of abundant resources, he could rapidly improve his cultivation level simply by going into seclusion. Therefore, he returned to the Tiandu River Nether Domain alone.

The Tiandu River Nether Domain has returned to tranquility.

But he knew that in this tranquil forest stretching for eight hundred miles, in some deep valley or dense woods, there must be living beings or deceased souls secretly cultivating their spirituality.

Danger lurked, and no one dared to reveal their presence.

Li Weiyi blew the whistle again, but Qing Ziqin still did not appear.

Now we can only hope that Tang Wanzhou finds her in another underworld.

Li Weiyi set up a Concealment Formation and carved out a simple cave along the mountainside. He decided to spend the rest of his time here refining the Dragon Soul Origin Light and quickly raise his cultivation to the peak of the First Realm.

He had attempted to weave Time Cocoon in the underworld, but it ended in failure.

The same applies to the Blood Mud Space.

Ultimately, the Blood Mud Space is the Buddha's Sarira, Buddha's Sarira is still enveloped in the aura of the underworld.

In the Tanggu Sea, far from the Fusang Divine Tree, including the top of the Sea of Souls Stone Peak, it is possible to weave Time Cocoon. Li Weiyi tested it; after staying inside for seven days, ten days had passed in the Netherworld when he came out.

Ultimately, he realized that the natural order of time would not allow two different time variations to occur in the same space. It might also be because his cultivation level was not high enough.

To surpass ten times the time of the Underworld, one must seek out the legendary treasures of the Ancient Kingdom of the Years Ruin, which are related to the Great Spring.

The netherworld measures a season in five hundred years.

The Great Spring Chinese pine) takes eight thousand years as its seasons and thirty-two thousand years as its annual cycle.

It is said that this treasure has a time multiplier of sixteen times that of the underworld and one hundred and sixty times that of the outside world.

These are the treasures that those true disciples most wanted to find and take out of the Ancient Kingdom of the Years Ruin. But they are rare and hard to come by; they don't appear every time there's a weak cycle.

With Li Weiyi's current cultivation level, he is no match for Qingzao, so he can only abandon distracting thoughts and honestly go into seclusion to cultivate.

Two years passed quickly in the Tiandu River Nether Domain.
