Visiting the Lei Xiao Sect
Li Weiyi was full of admiration. Coffin Master didn't know exactly what had happened, but he could see the most essential things from the fundamental laws of power struggles.
Li Yuanzhe, "If even Tang Shituo can't handle this matter, you absolutely mustn't get involved. The Sword Dao Imperial Court is a behemoth."
Li Weiyi picked up the teacup, pondering but remaining noncommittal.
Li Yuanzhe glanced at him and smiled, "Want to come back to Lingxiao Shengjing with me to relax? In your current state, it's not suitable for you to continue your secluded cultivation."
"When do we depart?" Li Weiyi asked.
Li Yuanzhe, "Let's go now."
Li Weiyi and Li Yuanzhe used Spatial Teleportation Array to first go to the Moon Dragon Island outpost, and then landed on the Coast of the East Sea, where the dark realm had been restored to light and the land of the four states in the midst of war.
Although the four states under the Hungry Ghost Banner have been restored to light, they are still evil lands, and the evil has not completely disappeared.
The river was murky, the mountains were blood red, and there was no green vegetation, flowers, or fish or insects to be seen.
On the evening of the second day after arriving in this territory, on the way to the Xue Jian Tang Ting.
Sitting on the Departed Spirit Chariot, Li Weiyi and Li Yuanzhe talked about many things, including their confusion about cultivation, formations and talismans, and the state of the world.
The Spirit Tablet Master, "Zuoqiu Lanshan," follows the path of ghost spirits, has already condensed a ghost body, and has reached the Longevity Realm; he is also sitting in the car.
She perused the array manual of the "Wind Fire Lightning Electricity Great Formation" and commented, "Truly magnificent! If you master this array, you will have entered the inner sanctum of the art of array formations!"
"I've only reached the second stage with 3,200 array runes. The third stage is much more difficult, consisting entirely of mid-grade spirit array runes," Li Weiyi said.
Zuoqiu Lanshan said, "Next, I will teach you. If you can inscribe the 1,600 mid-grade spirit array runes of the third stage on them, and then supplement them with the Golden Crow Flame, you will be invincible in the fourth realm. Moreover, this is all on your own, without the help of your coffin master."
"Cultivation can be guided, but one should not overstep one's bounds," Li Yuanzhe said solemnly.
Along the way, spirits would suddenly emerge from the ground, but Li Weiyi would burn them to ashes using his Four-Colored Spiritual Light Flames.
"Coffin Master, I heard that the Corpse Sea of Rotting Marsh is located deep within the Netherworld of the Departed, and its master Giant Spirit Corpse King, is a top-tier expert. Did you encounter any danger?" Li Weiyi asked curiously.
Li Yuanzhe a startling statement. "I have some connection with the Giant Spirit Corpse King. He tried to persuade me to stay before I left, but I refused! Actually, we met once after you were taken away by Yu Yaozi during the battle of the East Sea, which is why I went to the Corpse Sea of Rotting Marsh to condense my corpse body."
Li Weiyi's eyes widened, as if she had heard a fairy tale.
Coffin Master's circle of friends is so wide it's almost absurd.
Suddenly, Li Weiyi, who was driving outside, sensed something and looked up. He saw a patrol team riding on strange flying beasts rapidly approaching from the sky.
Ten riders in total, hovering in mid-air, the wings of the strange birds stirring up a powerful Wind Force.
The leader was Qin Feng, the youngest Longevity Realm Martial Cultivator the Lei Xiao Sect.
He was over sixty years old, but looked no more than thirty. Full of vigor and vitality, he stood on the back of a flying bird and shouted, "Qin Feng Lei Xiao Sect, in charge of patrolling and inspection. May I ask who you are?"
Li Weiyi once impersonated Qin Feng, using his status as a powerful figure in the Lei Xiao Sect's Longevity Realm Giants to intimidate the Water Ferret Immortal. Now, he has actually encountered the real deal.
Upon recalling the remains of Ancestor Qin Yuan of the Lei Xiao Sect, Li Weiyi immediately gave his name: "Jiu Li Tribe, Li Weiyi."
Upon hearing this name, the ten people circling above were all greatly alarmed and hurriedly steered their flying birds down.
The Departed Spirit Chariot below had also come to a stop.
Qin Feng jumped off the flying bird, strode forward, and upon seeing Li Weiyi's face clearly, clasped his hands in greeting, saying, "It really is Li Shenyin, what a pleasure to meet you. Inside the carriage... could it be the Great Palace Master?"
The nine people behind them all gasped in shock.
It's no wonder they think so. More than half a year has passed, and Li Weiyi's deeds in the Ancient Kingdom of the Years Ruin have already spread to the Lingxiao Shengjing. In particular, the claim that he is the successor of the Great Palace Master's Dao Law Successor has elevated Li Weiyi's status to an extremely high level.
If he's allowed to drive, what must the person inside the car be considered to have the necessary status?
"No, it's not the Great Palace Master," Li Weiyi quickly waved her hands.
Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Weiyi said, "He is my master, the leader of the Jiu Li Tribe."
"Greetings to the Jiu Li Leader."
Qin Feng held his breath and quickly bowed deeply, offering his respects and kowtows.
Behind him, nine other people knelt down and paid their respects.
Li Yuanzhe's voice rang out from inside the carriage. "Get up. Why are you here? What's the situation here?"
"Reporting to Senior Li, we are responsible for patrolling the border of Leizhou. The Netherworld War initiated by the Xue Jian Tang Ting and the Sword Dao Imperial Court has affected us, and we often have spirits intruding into Leizhou." Qin Feng's face was full of worry.
Li Yuanzhe transmitted his voice to Li Weiyi: "The Eight Hundred Mile Sea of Thunder of the Lei Xiao Sect is a wondrous realm rarely seen in the world. If you wish to refine the Wind Fire Lightning Electricity Great Formation, you can go there to collect lightning along the way. As for the Wind Fiends, the Yao Li Tribe can find the Four Fiends Heavenly Winds and the Five Fiends Heavenly Winds."
"Furthermore, gathering intelligence from the Lei Xiao Sect might be more fruitful than going to the Xue Jian Tang Ting. What Tang Wanzhou won't tell you, Tang Shituo certainly won't tell you, but the Lei Xiao Sect might."
Leizhou is a large prefecture located at the easternmost edge of the Twenty-Eight Prefectures of Lingxiao, connecting the East Sea and bordering the northern frontier.
The Eight Hundred Mile Sea of Thunder is not only well-known in Lingxiao Shengjing, but also has a certain reputation in the entire Southern Yingzhou. Twenty thousand years ago, the Lei Xiao Sect was able to become one of the five armies that attacked the Ancient Kingdom of the Years Ruin, and was able to stand on equal footing with figures like Yu Jia and Emperor Ji.
Three thousand years ago, they were still the masters of this habitat.
Even though it has declined, the sect still stands tall and majestic, with a profound foundation.
Led by Qin Feng, the carriage arrived at the gate of the Lei Xiao Sect early the next morning.
Upon receiving the message, outside the mountain gate, led by the Lei Xiao Sect Master, a huge crowd of people gathered to welcome them, a very high-level welcome, with disciples all present.
The vehicle came from the clouds.
"Greetings to the Jiu Li Leader!"
"Welcome to the Lei Xiao Sect, Transcendent One."
The chassis came to a stop.
The Lei Xiao Sect Master smiled and strode towards Li Yuanzhe, who had stepped down from the carriage. He looked Li up and down with great enthusiasm. "Old Li, it's been a thousand years! You've finally returned after a thousand years! What exactly happened back then? Where did you all go? More than half of the powerful figures in Yingzhou disappeared overnight. It remains the most terrifying event in history."
With the cultivation level of the Lei Xiao Sect Master, he could certainly see that Li Yuanzhe had resumed the cultivation of the Corpse Path, but he remained silent about it.
"What happened back then is top secret. But I can reveal a little to you." Li Yuanzhe seemed to have a very easygoing personality.
The Lei Xiao Sect Master was overjoyed. He took Li Yuanzhe's hand and strode into the mountain gate.
The Spirit Tablet Master had already hidden himself, leaving only Li Weiyi surrounded by a group of young disciples from the Lei Xiao Sect.
"Greetings, Li Shenyin!"
"Legend has it that Li Shenyin killed several Taiyin Sect Taiyin Envoy Sect in the Ancient Kingdom of the Years Ruin. I wonder what level of cultivation those Taiyin Envoy possessed? Were they also Longevity Realm Giants?"
"Li Shenyin also practices the Lightning Strike Array, right? Could you perhaps offer some guidance?"
"Li Shenyin's breakthrough to immortality is like a roc soaring nine thousand miles; Non-Self."
The young disciples looked at Li Weiyi as if he were a god, just as Li Weiyi, when he was in the Five Seas Realm, looked at those Longevity Realm Giants.
Only the Longevity Realm Martial Cultivator of the Lei Xiao Sect truly know Li Weiyi's current status.
Li Weiyi searched for Chen Jin and Lei Wu in the crowd, wanting to settle scores with them, but they were nowhere to be found. Li Weiyi considered Lu Wensheng, whom he had become acquainted with through a misunderstanding, to be his best friend in the Lei Xiao Sect, but he was also nowhere to be seen.
Qin Tiansong, the strongest expert below the Transcendent level in the Lei Xiao Sect, is an Old Man with white hair and beard, over four hundred years old, who is in charge of receiving Li Weiyi.
Finally, I saw someone I knew.
Standing behind Qin Tiansong, Qin Qian looked at Li Weiyi with a gaze that was no longer cold or admiring, but rather a sense of distance and retreat, as if looking at the sky from the ground.
With Qin Tiansong's arrival, the younger disciples naturally dared not make any more noise and all withdrew.
Li Weiyi and Qin Tiansong walked side by side, ascending the steps, displaying the unparalleled demeanor of the successors of the Stored Son of Heaven's Dao Law Successor. The two chatted about the current situation of Lingxiao Shengjing, and inevitably also talked about the Ancient Kingdom of the Years Ruin.
Climbing the stone steps and standing beneath the ancient tower at the mountain pass, Li Weiyi finally saw the legendary Eight Hundred Mile Sea of Thunder.
"Boom!"
The sea of thunder was shrouded in clouds and Light Veil, which blocked out the sound of thunder, and only a faint rumble could be heard.
The lightning flashed incessantly.
Within Li Weiyi's Divine Palace, on the Longevity Golden Pill, the Thunder and Lightning Scripture automatically emerged, transforming the body's magical energy into thunder and lightning, flowing through the Trace Meridians and dissipating from the body.
"The Eight Hundred Mile Sea of Thunder is indeed extraordinary. Perhaps it can help me break the Azure Dragon Lock." This thought arose in Li Weiyi's mind.
Qin Tiansong sensed the intensity of the lightning emanating from Li Weiyi and exclaimed in surprise, "Li Shenyin's mastery of lightning magic is quite remarkable. Has he cultivated the One Hundred and Eight Lightning Strike Arrays?"
"No matter how advanced it may be, I am still just an outsider and cannot compare with the wondrous methods of your sect. May I ask Old Qin if I may enter the Thunder Sea to cultivate for a few days?" Li Weiyi asked.
Qin Tiansong smiled and said, "Entering the Thunder Sea for cultivation is no big deal. I can help you activate the formation."
"Then I'd be very grateful. The money that Qin Qian and the Lei Xiao Sect disciples owe me is now wiped clean," Li Weiyi said.
Qin Tiansong stared blankly at Qin Qian.
Qin Qian was speechless. These so-called Longevity Realm Giants and Dao Law Successor were really stingy, remembering even a single Spring Coin.
Thunder God Hall, the statue of the Thunder Department Deity, cast in metal, is ferocious and glaring, standing over twenty feet tall.
Its imposing presence is awe-inspiring, as if it could come alive.
The Lei Xiao Sect Master looked grave. "You mean to say that this involves the ancient secret of Yingzhou being shrouded in the Netherworld of the Departed? And that the Nether Realm Great Tribulation a thousand years ago had deeper reasons?"
"I can't say any more! The reason I'm telling you this, Brother Lei, is that I hope you'll prioritize the bigger picture... or to put it another way, prioritize your own cultivation, and not add fuel to the fire in the chaos of the Lingxiao Shengjing. I know the Lei Xiao Sect's foundation and strength; you are far stronger than you appear on the surface."
Seeing the Lei Xiao Sect Master lost in thought, Li Yuanzhe didn't believe he could be persuaded this way, so he stopped talking and asked instead, "Has something happened to Xue Jian Tang Ting?"
