Five-Colored Mountain

The fragrance inside the Qilin Platform Palace was quite unique, with a sweet and intoxicating aroma that seemed to originate from the delicate body of the Third Palace Master, draped in colorful robes.

The Third Palace Master certainly knew that Li Weiyi and Zen Sea Observing Mist had some kind of connection; otherwise, why would he have entrusted his senior sister, who was under the influence of the Six Thoughts Mind Curse, to him in the first place?

This is an extraordinary level of trust!

She scrutinized Li Weiyi with curious eyes and asked, "What exactly is your background? Did you return from outside with Master Wu and Li Yuanzhe?"

Li Weiyi felt a slight tremor in her heart.

If the Third Palace Master could come up with such a guess, what about the others?

After regaining his composure, he immediately said, "Please, Third Palace Master, don't change the subject! In the battle of Lingxiao City, others may not know how much effort the Jiu Li Hidden Gate and I put in, but don't you? The Jiu Li Hidden Gate rushed to Lingxiao City wave after wave, fearless of death, all to help the Imperial Court overcome the crisis... We suffered heavy casualties... Many hermits and elders perished at the hands of the enemy, turning into nameless bones..."

"Knowing your sacrifices, we will make it up to you."

Seeing that Li Weiyi was changing the subject and avoiding answering, the Third Palace Master already had her answer in mind. She held the Heaven-grade Boundary Bag of the Lingxiao Palace, hidden in her sleeve. She raised her jade arm, and as she activated the Realm Bag with her magical energy, spatial ripples Wind Force burst out from her sleeve at the same time.

"Splash!"

Her sleeves, like colorful clouds, released a five-colored glow, and her powerful energy forced Li Weiyi back several steps.

Li Weiyi resisted the spatial fluctuations and gazed ahead. The five-colored light fell upon his body, and he felt his entire body, including his muscles, bones, internal organs, blood, and soul, being nurtured in a gentle power.

Before my eyes, a five-colored mountain flew out from the sleeve of the Third Palace Master, hovering in the spatial ripples. It was tens of meters high, shaped like a lotus flower with five protruding peaks, and was made of a strange kind of rock.

"This is?"

Li Weiyi could tell that this small stone mountain was extraordinary, its imposing presence like a transcendent figure standing before him, releasing mysterious and wondrous energy that seemed to connect to the very source of Daoist principles.

"Do you know about the Four Extremes Ape King?" the Third Palace Master asked.

Li Weiyi said, "One of the Four Great Demon Kings of Lingxiao Shengjing, and the lord of Tianya Ridge in the Southern Realm."

"The Four Extremes Ape King has only cultivated for sixteen hundred years, yet its cultivation level has reached a height that only those who have cultivated for thousands of years can achieve. The reason lies in this Five-Colored Mountain, which grows on its head and can mobilize the Five Elements Power between heaven and earth." The Third Palace Master's tone was tinged with a sense of wonder.

If the Four Extremes Ape King were allowed to cultivate for several more centuries, she felt that she might be overtaken.

Li Weiyi immediately understood the value of this Five-Colored Mountain!

A genius may not necessarily become a strong person, but a strong person is definitely a genius.

The extraordinary beings who could live for thousands of years were probably the cream of the crop in their youth, yet they were surpassed by the Four Extremes Ape King in a very short time.

The Third Palace Master looked at the mountain in the spatial ripples with great reluctance, and couldn't help but frown and ask, "You're really not the offspring of the Master Wu, or... have you caught the eye of Senior Sister? Otherwise, why would she have me give this to you? Never mind, I suppose you wouldn't dare to say it anyway. Open the Ancestral Field."

Li Weiyi's gaze was completely drawn to the Five-Colored Mountain, and he couldn't help but feel excited, as the harvest far exceeded his expectations.

Therefore, completely ignoring the Third Palace Master's wild thoughts, he immediately opened the ancestral field and took in the Five-Colored Mountain.

The ancestral field trembled violently, and Li Weiyi shuddered, his legs bending slightly as he felt his body become incredibly heavy. It was as if his entire body's magical energy was being suppressed, making it extremely difficult to mobilize.

"Hehe!"

The Third Palace Master laughed heartily, "Now you know that top-tier, transcendent treasures aren't so easy to obtain, right? Take the Four Extremes Ape King's Other Shore Heavenly Pill as well, and study it carefully. Senior Sister probably thinks you're suited to cultivate the Five Elements Dao, and is helping you build your Dao foundation. Xing Yenu!"

Li Weiyi accepted the Other Shore Heavenly Pill that flew in. It was very heavy in his hand, scorching hot, and the Yao Qi emanating from its interior was pure and thick, like a sea of energy.

Another top-tier treasure that even the most extraordinary would be captivated!

Xing Yenu, tall and graceful, dressed in moon-white soft armor, strode in from outside the hall and bowed respectfully. "What are your orders, Master?"

"Take your Hidden Person to the Imperial Treasury and retrieve the flesh and blood of the Four Extremes Ape King," the Third Palace Master said with a smile.

"Thump!"

Xing Yenu's face turned ashen in an instant, and she knelt down in fright.

Li Weiyi quickly calmed down, took out the Staff Spear of All Things, and used it to support his swaying body. He thought of a solution and said, "If the Third Palace Master wanted to punish you, he wouldn't have waited until now. Our Jiu Li Hidden Gate has helped Lingxiao Palace a great deal. Have you forgotten how tragically the Twelfth Elder died? You were closest to the Twelfth Elder, weren't you?"

"Right!"

Xing Yenu dared not get up, her face buried in the ground. Her identity had been exposed; how could a simple punishment suffice?

Those in positions of power hate being deceived the most; it's a humiliating feeling of being manipulated and misled. How could the Third Palace Master not feel a surge of anger when his own disciple turned out to be a recluse of the Jiu Li Hidden Gate?

Li Weiyi then said, "The Third Palace Master must have known your identity long ago, so why are you so nervous?"

"Li Weiyi, you really are a protective, Hidden Person!"

The Third Palace Master got up, stretched, and left to continue studying and setting up the Spatial Teleportation Array.

Li Weiyi let out a long breath. Facing a powerful expert whose cultivation level far surpassed theirs, if the other party were truly angered, they would definitely become a terrifying figure who would devour anyone, and would certainly not be as easy to talk to as usual.

Xing Yenu helped the extremely heavy Li Weiyi out of the Qilin Platform Hall and headed towards the Imperial Treasury.

"Is it really that exaggerated? You, Li Weiyi, Longevity Realm Martial Cultivator. Do you really need help walking?" Ge Xiantong leaned closer, observing Li Weiyi's leg shape with a suspicious look in his eyes.

"Roll!"

Li Weiyi knew he was just guessing.

"Okay, junior brother," Ge Xiantong said.

The boundary bag and ancestral field store items, yet their weight remains. Circulating magical energy can maintain a normal body weight, like carrying objects on clouds or using techniques to lighten the body.

But once the weight exceeds the limit, it will become like Li Weiyi at this moment, like a snake swallowing an elephant.

The Imperial Treasury and the National Treasury are where Lingxiao Palace stores its resources and wealth. They are Spatial Magic Tool forged by Zen Sea Observing Mist in the past, and are much more advanced than the Boundary Bag. They are inscribed with array scriptures to reduce weight.

As long as the true scriptures in the Divine Martial Tower remain, and as long as the resources and wealth in the Imperial Treasury and National Treasury are not lost, the Lingxiao Palace can be quickly rebuilt and regain its former glory.

The Four Extremes Ape King was beheaded by Zen Sea Observing Mist Cloud Heaven Immortal Plain. His headless body was divided and preserved, frozen in blue ice crystals, each piece as large as a mountain, lying deep within the Imperial Treasury space.

The Demon King is a treasure trove; if one could kill and store one, it would be the foundation of an entire sect or clan.

"The Four Extremes Ape King's body is at least two or three hundred meters tall. How heavy must it be?"

Standing beneath the towering iceberg, Li Weiyi shook his head in disbelief. He instructed Xing Yenu to fetch Longevity Realm Martial Cultivator from the Jiu Li Tribe to help move it, adding, "With me here, the Third Palace Master won't do anything to you, so don't worry. Go quickly!"

After Xing Yenu left, Li Weiyi sat down cross-legged and looked inward at the Five-Colored Mountain located in the ancestral field.

Only by mobilizing all the body's magical energy can one barely manage to shake it.

"It seems I need to find an opportunity to store it in the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish; my current cultivation level is not sufficient to handle it."

The Jiu Li Tribe's settlement is located in a valley with many cliffside caves, a beautiful and vibrant environment. A small, clear spring, several meters wide, flows through the valley.

This was the residence of the Demon Race cultivators more than half a year ago.

The flesh and blood of the Four Extremes Ape King were continuously transported back and stored in the Earthly Realm Bag. Li Songgu carried out further division and processing, his face beaming with joy, fully aware of the value of this resource.

The martial arts practitioners of the Jiu Li Tribe were all shocked and immersed in excitement.

It should be noted that Lizhou is not far from Tianya Ridge, and it often deals with the Demon Cultivator there. The demon sons and grandsons of the Four Extremes Ape King always act arrogantly and domineeringly when they come to Jiu Li City.

When the Four Extremes Ape King traveled, demonic clouds stretched for hundreds of miles, blotting out the sky and earth, causing birds and beasts to tremble—a truly terrifying sight.

To the martial arts practitioners of Lizhou, it was no different from gods and Gods and Devils, and was countless times more terrifying than Xu Fudu and Yang Shen Realm.

But today, thanks to the Hidden Person, they will have the privilege of eating the flesh of this god -Gods and Devils.

Hidden Twenty-Four and Li Ling somehow obtained a large bronze cauldron, which was over ten feet tall. They cut off several hundred catties of the demon king's flesh and blood, cleaned it, and cooked it on a flat area at the entrance of the valley.

The steam rising from the cauldron had a faint five-colored hue.

It's easy to imagine that even just a sip of the soup would improve one's physical health.

Li Weiyi entered a cave and activated the formation. Then, he stored the Five-Colored Mountain into the Blood Mud Space, and immediately felt much lighter. The uncomfortable feeling of having a huge rock in his stomach disappeared.

"Can you mobilize the Five Elements Power in the universe?"

Li Weiyi stood at the Five-Colored Mountain, which was about ten zhang high, and carefully observed and studied it by tapping and knocking. Then he released his magical energy from his palm and injected it into the mountain.

Just as the internal energy was about to be exhausted, the Five-Colored Mountain finally changed, emitting a faint, hazy glow.

However, no Five Elements Power appeared.

"What exactly is the Five Elements Power? My cultivation level is too low to mobilize it? You silent fellow, do you know what's going on?"

Li Weiyi withdrew his magical aura and asked this question.

Unsurprisingly, there was no response.

He then took out the Other Shore Heavenly Pill, which was many times heavier than an iron ball. This item had been refined by the Third Palace Master, erasing the will and soul of the Four Extremes Ape King.

Upon closer inspection, Li Weiyi observed that the interior was densely covered with scriptures and contained extremely vigorous five-colored Yao Qi.

"The Yao Qi is so thick, can it be absorbed directly?"

Li Weiyi carefully absorbed a wisp of five-colored Yao Qi into the Laogong point of his palm, then circulated it along the Trace Meridians and transported it to his ancestral field.

With a loud boom, the magical energy throughout his body became chaotic and surging.

"The Demon King's Heavenly Pill is indeed not meant for direct absorption and refinement." Li Weiyi's expression changed slightly, and he dared not absorb a second strand.

After thinking for a moment, he released the Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors. Holding the Demon King's Heavenly Pill in his hand, he moved it around their mouths one by one, instructing them to absorb only a small amount.

Ultimately, the Zerg are also a type of Demon Race.

Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors huddled together, frantically sucking at the air.

"This is amazing! I feel my entire body's energy boiling. One more bite, Boss Li, give me another bite!" Sifeng savored the taste, but unfortunately, she hadn't absorbed enough. That blissful, ethereal feeling came and went quickly.

After absorbing and refining it, Second Phoenix analyzed, "If I could keep absorbing it, it would be like taking Thousand-Year Elixir. Boss Li, you have such a treasure, why didn't you take it out sooner? Give me another bite too."

"Can I hold it in my mouth and absorb the whole thing?" Five Phoenix walked on two paws, stood in front of Li Weiyi, and looked up at him with her big eyes.

"If it goes into your mouth, how can you spit it out?"

Li Weiyi glared at it and slapped it to the ground.

As time passed and seeing that they seemed to be largely unaffected, Li Weiyi took out the Demon King Heavenly Pill again and let them absorb it. At the same time, he released his mental power to examine the condition inside their bodies.

It wasn't until Li Ling came to the cave entrance and called him that she informed him that the flesh of the Four Extreme Demon Kings was cooked.

Li Weiyi withdrew from the Blood Mud Space and walked towards the valley entrance with Li Ling. Suddenly, he asked, "Would you like to meet my two senior sisters?"

"There's no need. They're transcendent; why would they care about me? I need to reach at least the level of Great Saint Mind Master before they'll acknowledge me, just like you are now," Li Ling said calmly.

Compared to before, she has become much more mature and composed.
