Successive Breakthroughs

Hidden Twenty-Four looked curious. "Why are you so concerned about her? As things stand, you're still competitors."

Li Weiyi used the words that Hidden Twenty-Four had once said to Yao Yin, "Perhaps it's because she's beautiful!"

"Then I advise you not to fall for her, lest you suffer the pain of separation and death in the future, hurting both of you."

Hidden Twenty-Four sighed, "She possesses an extremely rare Jade Shattering Ice Soul Body, which can only appear in Pure Immortal Body. Perhaps only one in ten thousand Pure Immortal Body possesses such a body."

"Jade shatters, ice shatters..."

Li Weiyi repeated the words in confusion.

Hidden Twenty-Four said, "In other words, if the Pure Immortal Body is too pure, the body is prone to shattering like jade or cracking like ice. The reason for this rare physique is mostly due to some kind of strange bloodline mutation in her parents. Her father..."

She stopped abruptly at this point.

"I've only ever heard of Half-Immortal Body, let alone something that's too pure." Li Weiyi felt it necessary to find an opportunity to brush up on her knowledge of this world.

Once I become Hidden Person, I'll go check out the library at the Coffin Sea Pavilion.

Hidden Twenty-Four said, "In this world, everything in excess is as bad as deficiency. Most Pure Immortal Body with the Jade Shattering Ice Soul Body do not live past the age of eighteen. Otherwise, why would she, as the granddaughter of the Yao Li Tribe chief and a Pure Immortal Body, come to the Hidden Gate for trials?"

"Can the Hidden Gate save her?" Li Weiyi asked.

Hidden Twenty-Four shook his head. "Historically, there are records of Pure Immortal Body with the Jade Shattering Ice Soul Body surviving, maximizing the physical and combat power of the Pure Immortal Body, achieving extremely high results. But that was because they found the Flower of Supreme Yang... The Hidden Gate doesn't have that either."

"If she could comprehend the God of Jiu Li's Combat Intent, she might be able to find a way out, but the chances are too slim."

Li Weiyi knew that many things in this world were beyond her control; everyone had their own destiny, and in one's life, one would experience many encounters and partings.

Beautiful things always fade away. After a sigh and a moment of regret, life must go on.

"Hidden Twenty-Four, you know far too much!"

Li Weiyi left those words behind and headed straight back to the Blood Forest Cliff.

Hidden Twenty-Four was stunned, then realized. This guy was actually using Yao Yin's secret and special physique to test her relationship with Yao Yin.

She did indeed have an extraordinary relationship with Yao Yin, which is why she knew so much about her situation.

Although Hidden Twenty-Four was only sixteen years old, how could she be completely overjoyed to have survived to the end among a group of trial participants? She naturally had a deep and experienced side.

When the Spider Cave Trial ended, Hidden Twenty-Four realized that Li Weiyi was no ordinary person and was likely Yao Yin's strongest opponent. However, he also had obvious character flaws, as he did not take the opportunity to kill Yao Yin inside the Spider Cave.

Based on these two points of analysis, Hidden Twenty-Four used her own strategy to help Yao Yin, targeting Li Weiyi's weakness.

"They saw through it already? This is really a headache; another point he can use against us."

Hidden Twenty-Four walked over to Yao Yin, deciding to tell her everything to prevent her from truly falling into the trap. Now, Li Weiyi was practically a confirmed Hidden Person, and would no longer be Yao Yin's mortal enemy and competitor.

The cultivation of the Mind Master realm involves constantly absorbing light to nourish fire.

No matter how advanced the Meditation Method, absorbing light in nature is a slow process.

The Light Flame Pill is different.

Li Weiyi swallowed the first Light Flame Pill, and his abdomen immediately felt warm. Then, his entire body was illuminated by the light emanating from his abdomen, and his flesh became as bright as red-hot glass.

Meditate immediately.

Imagine yourself as two tall, Fusang Divine Tree, rapidly absorbing all the light.

The light and flames throughout the cave transformed into countless tiny specks of light, flowing like streams towards the Forehead Spirit Realm his eyebrows.

Inside the space between the eyebrows, the spiritual light and flames rapidly surged.

After a day and a night, the light of the first Light Flame Pill disappeared completely; 30% was absorbed and 70% was lost.

"The entire Forehead Spirit Realm was filled with flames, comparable to the amount accumulated through three months of arduous cultivation."

Li Weiyi felt a pang of heartache; in order to save these three months, 100,000 Silver Coin had vanished in an instant.

"Next, we need to continuously refine the spiritual flames until we refine them into a bright flame of a higher grade."

Li Weiyi considered himself to be the biggest creditor of Hidden Twenty-Four and Yang Yun, and even thought he could extort money from Yao Yin, since he had saved her twice.

You can be a bit extravagant.

Running out of money? Fine, he could just go collect debts. So, he quickly swallowed the second Light Flame Pill.

A day and a night later, the light from the second Light Flame Pill faded.

This time it was better; I absorbed about 35%.

The spiritual light and flames in the Forehead Spirit Realm had become much more condensed, with a noticeably higher temperature and a more dazzling radiance. However, it seemed to be far from transforming into a "bright flame."

The third one, the fourth one.

On the fifth day, Li Weiyi took out the last Light Flame Pill. He was in a bad mood. He burned down a mansion in Jiu Li City in one day and had been doing so for four days in a row, but he still couldn't break through to the next realm.

This pill is a total rip-off!

It's ridiculously expensive.

Deeply suspicious, Hidden Twenty-Four had tricked him with fake pills.

"If this pill doesn't help me break through to the next realm, I'll settle accounts with Hidden Twenty-Four. She's always scheming against me. Four million Silver Coin seem too cheap; she needs to really bleed a little."

Li Weiyi picked up the Golden Spring from the earthenware jar and took a big gulp, swallowing the last Light Flame Pill.

Half a day later, the spiritual light and flames in the Forehead Spirit Realm, after being repeatedly compressed and condensed, suddenly began to vibrate. The vibration lasted for a full half hour, and at a certain moment, all the flames collapsed towards the center.

"Boom!"

The Forehead Spirit Realm became peaceful.

All the raging fireworks condensed into a single, bright flame the size of a pea.

The flame remained still and unwavering, as bright as a star, as if it were solid.

"Haha, it's done! The open flame is ready!"

Li Weiyi laughed wildly in his cave, too lazy to continue meditating and absorbing the remaining Light Flame Pill, and quickly took out the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish.

One by one, bright flames were released from between his eyebrows, surging towards the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish, activating it.

"Whoosh--"

As the two bronze fish rotated, a Tai Chi mark appeared beneath Li Weiyi's feet, and Spatial Power erupted, pulling him toward the Microscopic World of the Buddha's Sarira.

Inside the cave, in an instant, only the Buddha's Sarira remained suspended in mid-air, supported by a Tai Chi symbol.

After experiencing weightlessness, Li Weiyi reappeared on the barren, ocean-like Blood Mud Land, where the surroundings had become much more open. The blood mist that had enveloped and imprisoned the entire space receded into the distance.

"The Blood Mud Space seems to have only increased in size; there are no other changes," Li Weiyi sighed.

A voice from within the Spirit Tablet said, "Use your mental power to see if you can disperse the blood mist at the edge of the space."

Li Weiyi quickly suppressed his emotions and gradually became focused in meditation, using his mind to peel away the blood mist from one direction, which gradually thinned out.

After numerous attempts, he became increasingly proficient in controlling his telekinesis and blood mist.

When he peeled away the last layer of blood mist, an extremely shocking scene came into his view again after several months.

Behind the blood mist lay a vast and magnificent ocean.

At the end of the sea stood two enormous mulberry trees, supporting each other, reaching countless meters in height, their lush and bright branches stretching towards the sky, each leaf radiating light like the sun and moon.

On the sea surface, large and small golden flowers bloom, without leaves, only white roots submerged in the water.

This is the Tanggu Sea that the Bronze Ship sailed through several months ago.

Fusang Divine Tree, Xihe Flower...

What shocked Li Weiyi even more was that what she was seeing before her eyes did not seem to be an illusion.

You can smell the exotic fragrance emanating from the Xihe Flower, hear the sound of waves, and feel the radiance bursting forth from the Fusang Divine Tree.

"This... Spirit Tablet Master, the refining of the Golden Meridian Lines you mentioned, is it about using the radiance of the Fusang Divine Tree to refine them? How is Lesser Yang Star connected to the Tanggu Sea? And how did you know that?"

Li Weiyi tried to calm herself down, but she couldn't take her eyes off the Fusang Divine Tree, and the muscles in her face were completely stiff.

The Senior Spirit Tablet said, "Lesser Yang Star is an extraordinary spatial treasure. When we participated in the war, it directly took us from all corners of the world. In other words, it's not surprising that it can open up Space Barrier to go anywhere."

"As for why you came directly to the Fusang Divine Tree after lifting the blood mist, I don't know the reason either. I only noticed that the Fusang Divine Tree and this ocean briefly appeared when you first entered Lesser Yang Star and lifted the blood mist for the first time. That's why I guessed that after your mental power became stronger, you might be able to connect to this sea area."

"Perhaps... it has something to do with your haphazard modification of the 'One Grass' Meditation Method!"

"When you meditated, you imagined yourself as the Fusang tree, which may have made the Lesser Yang Star think that you wanted to come here. So, by parting the blood mist, you arrived here."

Li Weiyi found it hard to believe and muttered to herself, "If I imagine returning to Earth, wouldn't that allow me to open the Space Barrier to reach Earth?"

"You can give it a try," the Senior Spirit Tablet said.

Li Weiyi was excited and quickly began to imagine himself in Longevity Hill, in the ancient temple where he cultivated with his master. Then, he mobilized his mental power to peel away the layers of blood mist from the other direction.

But behind the blood mist lies an endless, desolate Blood Mud Land, the landscape of Lesser Yang Star.

"Maybe I wasn't focused enough."

He tried a few more times until he was somewhat exhausted, at which point he gave up.

The Spirit Tablet Master said, "Perhaps it's because your mental power cultivation is not strong enough. The stronger your mental power, the stronger your control over Lesser Yang Star will be."

"It's also possible that I didn't really have a strong desire to go back; it was just a passing whim."

Li Weiyi smiled wryly, then rubbed his temples, stood up again, and walked towards the vast sea where the Fusang Divine Tree was located. Refining the Golden Meridian Lines was the most urgent task.

However, just as they reached the edge of the Blood Mud Space, they were blocked by an invisible Space Barrier, preventing them from truly reaching the sea.

"This isn't a real spatial passage?" Li Weiyi asked.

The Spirit Tablet Master said, "No, it's because your mental power isn't strong enough. If you become Great Mind Master, you might be able to overcome this Space Barrier."

It took five Light Flame Pills to advance from Square Inch Flame to Square Inch Bright Fire, equivalent to consuming five mansions.

From Square Inch Bright Fire to Square Foot Earth Fire, Li Weiyi couldn't imagine how much money it would cost. Forget it, he'd rather proceed gradually by absorbing light and nurturing fire.

"Although there is Space Barrier, the light of the Fusang Divine Tree is real. There should be no place in the world more suitable for tempering the Golden Meridian Lines than here, right?"

Li Weiyi's initial shock was replaced by excitement.

He then drank from the Golden Spring while simultaneously practicing the Fusang Divine Tree Meditation Method and using the Cang King Tempering Method to continuously absorb the radiance emitted by the Fusang Divine Tree, integrating it into his Silver Meridian Lines.

Instead of merging all ninety-six Trace Meridians together as before, the focus is now on merging into one of them.

Time flies.

"Whoosh!"

On the other side of the Space Barrier, the sea was boiling, with endless divine flames burning on the seabed, which then transformed into a Golden Crow that burst out of the sea.

The moment the Golden Crow burst forth, the light emanating from the Space Barrier intensified countless times.

Li Weiyi, who was using the Cang King Tempering Method, felt as if all the light particles had gone out of control, pouring into his body like a waterfall and merging into his Trace Meridians like a storm.

The Silver Meridian Lines connecting to the palm of the right hand first appeared with a layer of golden light, then grew brighter and brighter, releasing scorching and powerful energy. Like a dragon vein, it burst out of the arm, extending towards the internal organs and back, and then straight up to the top of the head.

The first Golden Meridian Lines was forged in just one day.

Li Weiyi looked at his right arm, then suddenly stood up and gazed at the Golden Crow soaring into the distance. "Fusang and the Golden Crow are mutually supportive, and when I meditate... I am the Fusang Divine Tree."

"Spirit Tablet Master, I feel that the key to refining the Golden Meridian Lines using the Cang King Tempering Method is to simultaneously cultivate the Fusang Divine Tree Meditation Method and martial arts. The combination of the two, plus the treasure land of the Tanggu Sea... well, that's too much! In short, I feel that it won't be long before I can refine all the Silver Meridian Lines in my body into Golden Meridian Lines."

"Master Urn, you said before how many Golden Meridian Lines you had forged?"
