Passing Through Dongxu Camp

Even a single "sharp earth wind" can threaten the life of Dao Seed Realm Martial Cultivator.

When the level of Wind Fiend reaches the fourth level, it will transform into a celestial wind, capable of tearing apart the physical bodies of Longevity Realm Martial Cultivator in the First Realm and Second Realm of the Longevity Realm, and injuring Longevity Realm Martial Cultivator.

Li Weiyi came for the Five Fiends Heavenly Winds but failed to capture them. In the end, he used two array flags to capture two Four Fiends Heavenly Winds, and then returned to the Jiu Li Divine Hall with Li Songgu and Yao Xingyue.

It turns out that after the wind demon transformed into the heavenly wind, it gained a trace of spirituality and consciousness.

The Five Fiends Heavenly Wind is violent and fierce, even more difficult to deal with than the Great Longevity.

Li Weiyi was able to fight it and disperse it, but he couldn't possibly put it back into the array flags.

On the way, Yao Xingyue, the chief of the Yaoli tribe, told him that practicing the Heavenly Wind Palm Technique could tame the wind demons.

Li Weiyi collected the wind energy to refine an even more powerful Wind Fire Lightning Electricity Great Formation; he didn't have time to cultivate another martial art.

It's not too late to study this when cultivation progress slows down and there's more time.

Return to the Jiu Li Divine Hall.

Li Weiyi mentioned this matter to Li Yuanzhe.

Li Yuanzhe had a different opinion. "The only reason you were able to transcend major realms and defeat the world's top martial arts prodigies is because the foundation you laid in the Spring Realm and the Five Seas Realm far surpasses theirs."

"But they also have advantages that you don't possess. Some control the wellspring of supreme power, such as Princess Dengfeng's Fire Spring. Some have the true blood of Martial Path Son of Heaven flowing through their veins, some have grown Dragon Tendon, and some have refined Immortal Bone... In my opinion, some may even possess Immortal Artifact."

"In addition, there must be a group of Outstanding Person at the true disciple level who are further cultivating the Nine Springs Realm to expand their advantage within the same realm."

"They don't see you as their target to catch up with, but they are constantly and imperceptibly trying to improve themselves in order to close the gap with you."

Li Weiyi nodded in deep agreement.

Yao Yin cultivated two Qi Sea in the palms of her hands.

Chu Yutian not only cultivated the Laogong Spring in his palms, but also the Central Spring in his back.

Because of his cultivation of the Duanfeng Seven Slashes, Mo Duanfeng gradually expanded the Five Seas and Wind Mansion to a level that was unmatched by other martial artists of the same realm.

Li Yuanzhe, "Right now, you don't need to rush to cultivate the seven springs other than Shenque, Zutian, and Fengfu. In battle against them, your combat advantage is still enormous. How to cultivate and what path to take often depends on fate."

Immediately, Li Weiyi opened his palms and said, "Coffin Master, do you think this thing I'm cultivating counts? After they start spinning, the speed at which the magical power gushes out from the Laogong Two Springs increases several times. Especially after the Azure Dragon Lock on my arms broke, it's as if they're completely unblocked, and the strength in my arms has greatly increased."

"Whoosh!"

Two golden Swastika Symbol Imprint spun and flew out from the Laogong Spring in his palm.

"This is..."

Li Yuanzhe doubt and suspicion, instinctively feeling that these two marks were extremely extraordinary.

Then, Li Weiyi took out the stone carving he had dug from the bottom of the East China Sea and recounted his journey of enlightenment.

After listening, Li Yuanzhe's gaze fell on the Swastika Symbol Imprint on the stone carving. He gently stroked it and carefully observed it. "I think you can continue cultivating with this. The one who carved this stone wall was most likely an extraordinary master. The power of laws contained within it is very strong, comparable to half a scroll of true scripture."

"This is fate, and fate is always full of uncertainty. You kid... it seems I don't need to worry about your martial arts cultivation; your comprehension is in no way inferior to anyone else's."

Over the next few days, Li Weiyi stayed at home, following his spirit tablet master to learn the mid-grade spirit array inscriptions of the "Wind, Fire, Thunder and Lightning Grand Array." His speed of mastering and understanding far surpassed that of trying to figure it out on his own.

Li Songgu was compiling a list, preparing to select a group of the most talented cultivators from the Hidden Gate and the Jiu Li Tribe to send to the Ancient Kingdom of the Years Ruin.

Originally, Yao Xingyue was included, but Yao Qingxuan crossed him out.

The day before he left, Zuoqiu Ling and Zuoqiu Courtyard Ran, the Old Ancestor of the Zuoqiu Ran School of Confucianism and Daoism, came to visit. While congratulating Li Yuanzhe on his return, they mentioned the marriage between Li Weiyi and Zuoqiu Hongting and urged them to get married.

Li Weiyi and Zuoqiu Hongting have a close relationship, but it's more like that of brothers who fight side by side and close friends who share life and death. There's no romantic impulse to embrace each other.

Being with her is truly a tranquil and desireless experience. We can talk about current affairs, cultivation, and other beauties, but there's nothing romantic or sentimental about it.

The marriage was arranged due to the circumstances at the time, and both sides got what they needed.

However, apart from Zuoqiu Courtyard Zuoqiu Cangwu, the vast majority of people in Zuoqiu's household were very friendly to him, his son-in-law. In Li Weiyi's heart, Zuoqiu Ran was also a respected elder.

Therefore, Li Weiyi frankly told her, "I need to discuss this matter with Hongting first, and I will respect her choice."

Throughout the entire visit, Zuoqiu Ran never mentioned Yu Yaozi, clearly indicating that he was not there to test the Jiu Li Tribe, but simply to pay a visit.

The following morning.

Li Weiyi propelled the jade boat to a length of over thirty meters, carrying dozens of young martial artists from the Jiu Li Tribe, and flew towards Moon Dragon Island in the East Sea, facing the rising sun.

Li Songgu accompanied him, and the affairs of the Hidden Gate were temporarily handed over to Shang Nantang.

Cai Yutong, Gao Huan, and the others chose to stay at the Jiu Li Divine Hall.

In reality, the Netherworld of the Ancient Kingdom of the Years Ruin, while seemingly capable of rapidly increasing cultivation, actually results in a constant loss of lifespan, with no change in the passage of time. It is merely a shortcut for geniuses to catch up with the older generation, not a genuine way to accelerate cultivation.

If they didn't have extremely high aspirations for cultivation and a strong desire to win, Li Weiyi wouldn't actually want to lead them into danger.

"Weiyi, if you encounter difficulties during the next three years of conflict, you can return to Lizhou to find the Coffin Master." These were the words Li Yuanzhe said to Li Weiyi before she left.

Standing at the bow of the ship, Li Weiyi pondered repeatedly, feeling that Coffin Master wouldn't have said such a thing for no reason; there must be a deeper meaning behind it.

The jade boat flew out of Lizhou and passed Coffin Mountain.

Below, on the barren, crimson land, convoys of vehicles appeared, like black ant lines, continuously transporting supplies.

"Old Li, if I remember correctly, this used to be the Netherworld of the Departed, right?"

Li Weiyi looked up at the sky, which was a clear, deep blue with not a cloud in sight.

Li Songgu walked over and said with a smile, "The thirty-one states of the Southeast Nether Realm were once Lord Lan's territory. After he was killed by the Mist Son of Heaven, the Dao Palace and the Lingxiao Dao Cult took ten states, and all of them have been restored to peace. The East Sea Demon Race has taken eleven states and is currently cooperating with the Dao Palace to develop them."

"The Lingxiao human race conquered ten states, which fell into the hands of the Zuoqiu Courtyard, the Jiu Li Tribe, and the Lei Xiao Sect, respectively."

"Dao Palace has offered a price: if we deliver a sufficient amount of supplies to them, they will use the <Bright Star Book> to help us dispel the darkness over the ten provinces."

"The Lingxiao Shengjing is currently in an era of massive expansion, and it won't be long before its territory doubles."

Li Weiyi's eyes showed worry. "Letting the Dao Palace take root in the East Sea will surely bring endless trouble. I have heard that the Canghai Dao Realm of the Hundred Realms Life Domain was originally an ordinary habitat, but after countless years of expansion and encroachment, it has become one of the six large habitats, covering an area of five hundred states. Every time the Hundred Realms Longevity Crossing, they regard it as a heaven-sent opportunity to seize land and resources."

Li Songgu said, "Only the leaders can participate in such macro-level situation considerations; it's useless for us to overthink it."

Li Weiyi nodded and said no more.

Arriving in the East China Sea, we landed on Moon Dragon Island.

Old Qin and Li Weiyi sealed the senses of all the cultivators of the Jiu Li Tribe and enveloped them with their magical energy. However, they were still blocked after entering the area where the outpost was located.

The sentry spirit guarding the outpost, a cultivator at the third realm, earnestly advised, "Saint Master, Senior Qin, this is truly against the rules. Please don't make things difficult for us. If we, the sentries here, are allowed to enter the Spatial Teleportation Array, we will certainly be punished."

This wasn't the first time Old Qin had broken the rules, and with accomplices this time, he suddenly felt very confident. "We were just passing by; didn't you see that their senses were sealed?"

"That's against the rules! How about I send a message back to the Camp Hall and ask the sentry for instructions?" the sentry spirit suggested.

Li Weiyi glanced at Old Qin.

Old Qin understood immediately, and like a ghost, he rushed out, subdued the sentry from behind, and dragged him into the forest, laughing as he did so, "Brother, I'm sorry, I'll definitely treat you to a meal to make amends in the future. But, rules are rules, and people must learn to be flexible. If you can't trust me or the Lesser Yang Division's Holy Division, who can you trust?"

Li Weiyi led the Jiu Li Tribe toward the Spatial Teleportation Array.

The other three sentries on duty remained silent, tactfully stepping aside. They knew they couldn't stop them anyway.

Li Weiyi certainly couldn't let that sentry go and ask for instructions.

Many things can be overlooked by those above without consulting them.

Once permission is requested, it absolutely cannot be done.

"Whoosh!"

Teleportation Hall, array lights flickered.

The one guarding the Teleportation Hall was no longer Yu He, but Old Man Li Weiyi had never seen before.

The Old Man was slightly overweight. Upon seeing the scene in the array, he suddenly stood up from the table, his brows radiating light as he activated the entire teleportation array, as if facing a formidable enemy.

They even planned to destroy the teleportation array.

Li Weiyi took out the token. "Li Weiyi, Chief of the Lesser Yang Division, Senior, there is no need to panic."

The summit of the towering Mount Ling.

Sitting in the Camp Hall, Zhuang Shiyan immediately noticed the anomaly in the Teleportation Hall and his voice came from afar. "Li Weiyi, come to the Camp Hall to see me. No one else is allowed to leave the Teleportation Hall."

Camp Hall.

"Rules are rules. If everyone followed them, what would Dongxu Camp become? Wouldn't the enemy also be able to teleport over so brazenly?"

Zhuang Shiyan looked extremely serious. He gave a long lecture, then reprimanded Li Weiyi and deducted a large amount of Merit Value from her.

Throughout, Li Weiyi didn't utter a single word of rebuttal, appearing as if she knew she was wrong. "I had no choice. I couldn't possibly spend months traversing the Netherworld of the Departed, could I? My master said that the Sentinel Lord isn't a rigid person and will definitely let me through. Next time, I'll definitely ask for permission first."

"There will be no next time. There will be no next time," Zhuang Shiyan said.

"Good! That's great, thank you for letting us pass."

After bowing, Li Weiyi smiled and said, "Sir, you see that the Lesser Yang Division is now lacking in talent. I would like to recruit a master. I wonder if you could make an exception this time?"

"Besides Yao Yin and Cangli, does the Jiu Li Tribe also have martial arts geniuses at the Lesser Yang Guard level?" Zhuang Shiyan asked.

Li Weiyi asked, "If there were, would an exception be made?"

"At least reach the level of Liu Ye in the same realm... no, at least defeat a Lesser Yang Guard in the same realm. Step back and send them away quickly. Go wherever they need to go. You know how tense the atmosphere is in Dongxu Camp right now," Zhuang Shiyan said.
