Great Saint Mind Master Li Weiyi
"The Time Flow Rate within the Chun Clan Cocoon is too rapid, like pulling up seedlings to help them grow."
"Your bodies were severely depleted during your last trip to the Ancient Kingdom of the Years Ruin. You should recuperate for at least three to five years under normal Time Flow Rate before using the Chun Clan Cocoon again to ensure a safe outcome. This is the experience we've accumulated over the past century."
An aged voice came from the tower.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of footsteps descending the stairs could be heard.
The Great Elder emerged from within the tower gate, shrouded in a Light Veil. His wrinkled hands held a delicate, half-foot-long jade box. Looking at the distinguished young man standing silently at the foot of the steps, he said, "You possess exceptional talent, and the Great Palace Master values you highly. Having lived for over five hundred years, I have seen much of life. I will speak to you of something I shouldn't: the value of your martial arts potential and future achievements will not be less than that of the Life Spring. Do not be impatient for quick success because of the Life Spring, lest you ruin your body; it would be a greater loss than gain."
"When you're truly in dire straits, handing over the Life Spring to save your life is more important than anything else. Alas, as I get older, my spirit fades, and I talk too much."
"I understand."
Li Weiyi could sense the Great Elder's sincerity, a sentiment completely different from that of the young Longevity Realm Martial Cultivator who were prepared to die in battle before heading to Carefree Capital.
The Great Elder handed the jade box to Li Weiyi: "This was prepared for you by the Great Palace Master. It contains healing elixirs and Saint Mind Star Pill. There aren't many, only a dozen or so in total, but that's all we can give you. You saw that each of those young people who set off earlier took some."
"I've refined the rest... I hope I'll have the chance to send them to you."
Each pill of the highest quality is incredibly expensive.
Healing elixirs are like life-saving medicines, capable of restoring the combat power of severely injured Longevity Realm Martial Cultivator in a very short time. In the Ancient Kingdom of the Years Ruin, if Li Weiyi had healing elixirs of this level, he could easily deal with several crises.
More than ten were prepared for him alone, which is quite a heavy amount.
"Thank you very much, I will do my best," Li Weiyi said.
"Bringing Xiaobai back is enough; people are more important than springs."
The Great Elder smiled bitterly, "The Time Flow Rate in the Netherworld is much gentler. You can go there to cultivate first. Two Chun Silkworm are already at their fifth instar; there should be enough time. I'll send them over to you then. Two cocoons should be enough; you can decide for yourself."
Li Weiyi could tell that the Great Elder was pessimistic and didn't have a good outlook on the fight. He said, "Nangong is from the Lesser Yang Division, and I am from the Sheng Division. I will never stand idly by if she is in danger."
"I believe you, because you've done it."
The Great Elder waved his arm gently and stepped back into the tower.
Ancient Kingdom of the Years Ruin Chun City, a place steeped in the ruins of time.
Six months have passed outside, but five years have passed in the Jiu Li Tribe's training area in Chun City.
Li Weiyi arrived at the valley outside the cultivation area and went inside. It was quiet. He looked up at Li Ling, who was guarding the Defensive Formation, and asked, "Is everyone in seclusion?"
Li Ling sat cross-legged atop a stone hill over twenty feet high, dressed in a dark red gown, absorbing the light of time. "Some are outside the city, cultivating Medicinal Field, planting spirit grains, and building manors. My father said that the Ancient Kingdom of the Years Ruin is vast and sparsely populated, offering great opportunities for development, but there are simply too few of our clansmen who have come here."
Li Weiyi sighed inwardly, realizing that Old Li was too deeply entangled in worldly affairs. Suddenly, an idea struck him, and he asked, "How about we make a deal? Help me raise silkworms in the Blood Mud Space for a year. You name your terms."
Chun Silkworm need to be raised for three years before they can mature and spin cocoons.
Li Weiyi possessed five Silkworm Eggs. He calculated the timeframe and knew he could raise them in the Netherworld for two years, then move them into the Blood Mud Space for another year.
Chun Silkworm are delicate and require careful care; they cannot be separated from human intervention.
He couldn't concentrate on this task on his own.
Li Ling is the best choice because she knows about the existence of the Blood Mud Space.
"Chun Silkworm?"
Li Ling had been in Chun City for five years and knew a lot. Without much thought, she agreed, "If you have the chance in the future, bring another group of clansmen over. My father wants to cultivate another branch of the Jiu Li Tribe in the Ancient Kingdom of the Years Ruin. That's the condition!"
"This offer... you don't know how to cherish it. I Young Master favors to others! I have quite a few cultivation resources at my disposal now, enough to make you envious," Li Weiyi said with a smile.
Li Weiyi would never refuse the matter that Li Ling mentioned, should Old Li ask.
After laughing, Li Weiyi fell into a feeling of envy, and her eyes became melancholy.
Perhaps this is what family love is.
When he gave Li Songgu the Extreme Day True Pill, Li Songgu would immediately think of Li Ling. Li Ling would also immediately think of her father, wanting to share his burdens.
As they entered the valley, with a loud bang, Li Weiyi broke through the Defensive Formation of the Hidden Twenty-Four Cultivation Cave, rushed in, and dragged her out by force.
He ordered that during the next two years in the Underworld, he should help him raise silkworms.
Hidden Twenty-Four was almost going crazy. He had nearly been so shocked that his magical energy reversed, and his internal energy was still in disarray. "You are the successor of the Great Palace Master's Dao Law Successor. So many people in the Lingxiao Palace can be at your beck and call. This little matter is going to waste two years of my time?"
"No conditions can be negotiated. You'll do whatever I tell you to do. But if even one of them dies, you'll be in big trouble."
Li Weiyi tossed her five Silkworm Eggs, the Extreme Day Light Dew from the Fusang Divine Tree, and a waist token, telling her to consult the silkworm breeders of the Ancient Years Clan if she didn't understand.
Ignoring her, he climbed to the top of the mountain on the right side of the valley with his hands behind his back, sat down to meditate, and continued to cultivate his Li Po.
Hidden Twenty-Four stood in the valley for a long time before calming her breathing and gritting her teeth. She looked angrily at the figure on the mountaintop, clenched her fists, and finally stomped her foot before leaving the valley to learn silkworm rearing.
Time may pass, but Chun City forever, day and night.
"Whoosh!"
After an unknown amount of time, a fourth beam of spiritual light condensed above Li Weiyi's head.
He immediately stopped meditating, opened his eyes, and his pupils shone brightly.
The Li Po have been refined to their full potential.
He can begin to condense the fortieth Psychic Power Stars and merge his soul, attempting to break through to the Fourth Realm the Saint Mind Master.
Of Mid-grade Spirit Pill seven Saint Mind Star Pill he exchanged at the Dongxu Camp, Li Weiyi only used five, leaving two. He took one out as a backup, knowing that this breakthrough was a do-or-die situation.
He then took out the Rainbow Incense given to him by Li Songgu, condensed a ball of spiritual light and flame at his fingertips, and lit it.
"Whoosh!"
Seven-colored smoke billowed out, flowing like a stream, meandering and twisting as it dissipated into the air.
A scent reminiscent of sandalwood or burning incense entered Li Weiyi's nostrils. Instantly, Li Weiyi felt an immense sense of peace, a truly wondrous experience.
The fourth beam of spiritual light above his head gradually stabilized from flickering and trembling.
Li Weiyi placed the Rainbow Incense in a crevice in the rock, then sat cross-legged beside it, facing upwards, and began practicing the Fusang Divine Tree Meditation Method. Instantly, the moonlight from the surrounding world flowed continuously towards his brow.
Within the Glabella Spiritual Realm, thirty-nine Psychic Power Stars began to operate according to a special pattern.
Within each Psychic Power Stars, patterns Pattern Imprints appeared.
Like a sky full of twinkling stars.
"Whoosh!"
All the spiritual flames condensed into countless streams, converging towards the thirty-nine Psychic Power Stars, searching for the fortieth location.
In Li Weiyi's mind, the illustrations and texts from all the mental cultivation manuals he had read in the past appeared. He knew that condensing the fortieth Psychic Power Stars was difficult, so he repeatedly deduced and tried again and again.
The Rainbow Incense enveloped the mountaintop, covering the soil and rocks with a layer of colorful light and fog.
Three hours later, the Rainbow Incense burned for three inches.
Li Weiyi swallowed the Saint Mind Star Pill placed beside him, and immediately his body was illuminated like a celestial lamp, his skin and flesh as white as jade and as cold as ice. Dozens of miles away, the light emanating from the figure on the mountaintop could be seen.
The Mid-grade Spirit Pill lived up to its reputation; after entering his stomach, Li Weiyi's fortieth Psychic Power Stars rapidly condensed in his spiritual realm.
Merging souls is the most dangerous thing.
But this time, it was as natural as water flowing into a channel. The Li Po and spirit were drawn together by the seven-colored rainbow bridge of light and mist, and the fusion of their souls was successful without any hindrance.
Lingxiao Palace, the rear hall of the Qilin Platform Hall.
The Third Palace Master stood up from beside the base of the Spatial Teleportation Array. Through the ten-zhang-wide purple wooden palace window, his bright, starry eyes gazed at the distant mountain peak shrouded in light blue mist.
Then, the radiance of time, like countless streams flowing into the heart of the river, surged toward the young man's brow.
A look of surprise appeared on her face. "He's already Great Saint Mind Master? That's too fast!"
On both sides of the valley where the Jiu Li Tribe cultivated, Stone Gate opened one after another.
Everyone was alarmed and came out, discussing the matter.
"Great Saint Mind Master!" Li Songgu and smiled.
Hidden Twenty-Four stood beside the silkworm cocoon. Upon hearing this, his eyes were filled with shock, but then he also revealed a restrained smile.
Although that guy was always targeting her, she clearly felt that after she went to study with the Ancient Years Clan using Li Weiyi's token, the attitude of the cultivators in the Lingxiao Palace and the Sacred Hall Life Realm towards her had completely changed.
Even those powerful beings at the Longevity Realm treated her with utmost respect.
Li Weiyi quickly extinguished the half-burned Rainbow Incense. This thing was too mysterious; it greatly helped Saint Mind Master break through to higher realms, so it had to be used sparingly.
Next, he continued to absorb moonlight and solidify his realm.
Outside the valley, many cultivators came to visit, and Li Weiyi asked Li Songgu to help him deal with them all, except for one person.
Taishi Bai!
After consolidating his cultivation, Li Weiyi leaped down from the mountaintop and walked towards the handsome figure sitting alone by the stream. He chuckled at his former friend, "You, Taishi Bai, are the kind of person who doesn't come to my door without a reason. Tell me, what is it? Just say the word, and I'll definitely help."
Taishi Bai stood up, looking at him with a complicated expression, and took out a magic bag from his sleeve. "Grandpa asked me to bring you a batch of spirit pills, which he personally refined recently. He said that the talismans and formations refined by the older generation are forbidden, and this is all he can do to help. If you can't win, you must admit defeat and not be completely coerced by the Great Palace Master. The Great Palace Master is not Yu'er."
Many people are familiar with the name "Yu'er".
Li Weiyi suppressed her smile and accepted the elixir, which held special significance for her.
He knew very well that Duke Taishi had refined these elixirs because of his Zen Sea Observing Mist.
"Take me to see Senior Taishi; I want to thank him in person," Li Weiyi said.
Taishi Bai shook his head. "Grandpa said you don't need to go and pay your respects. He'll be in a difficult position, unsure how to interact with you. That's fine. I'm going back to report. Ah, I really wish I could fight alongside you all."
"Taishi Bai, wait for me to come back so we can drink together. Call your brother too."
After seeing Taishi Bai off, Li Weiyi fell into deep thought.
Both the Great Elder of the Ancient Years Clan and the Duke Taishi saw the danger of this Hundred Realms Longevity Crossing and wanted to dissuade them, but they couldn't bring themselves to speak.
This isn't about engaging with the younger generation.
They were going to fight the Devil Lord Yu Baxian to the death.
What are their chances of winning?
