Hero

The tens of thousands of talismans surrounding her constituted a simulated Dharma image.

Logically speaking, a true Dharma form can only be formally condensed at the seventh rank; those before that are merely illusions. Only after reaching the seventh rank and glimpsing the mystery of immortality can one truly establish their own Dao Path.

Once you have truly established your Dao Path and built your own foundation, you can then talk about things like 'Dharma Form'. After all, the essence of Dharma Form is the crystallization of your cultivation and Dao Path, the manifestation of your cultivation achievements, and it will show your characteristics, your Technique Method, and the origin of your fundamental Dao Lineage.

However, Li Shiwei in front of us used tens of thousands of talismans to shake the surroundings, expanding her Dao to the surroundings and forming an amplifier to enhance the power of her Technique Method!

She also used Thunder Method! It was the magic of heavenly thunder.

Although it can't compare to the Little Heavenly Master's Heaven's Wrath: Five Thunders Strike, no... what's the point of comparing it to the Little Heavenly Master? It's not even close. It should be said that although it can't compare to the Shenxiao Sect's Thunder Method, it is still an extremely Higher Vehicle heavenly thunder.

Unlimited lightning erupted, and thick electric snakes slithered across the ground like dragons and snakes in motion.

Under the blue sky.

The clouds rolled endlessly, like the sea overturned in the sky, and from the sea, tens of thousands of lightning snakes poked their heads out, frantically pecking at the ground.

The air expanded at an unimaginable, terrifying speed as it was struck by lightning, creating intense wind pressure.

These wind pressures squeezed through the rock layers, pierced through the Savage Beast's body, and some of the aftershocks even went directly through the center of the city wall, then turned into high-pressure wind cannons and exploded!

The city wall that the Savage Beast failed to breach was instead blasted open by Li Shiwei, causing the collapsed wall to fall and then be shattered and exploded by the lightning snake.

With incredible speed, Razer, carrying sharp wind cannons, cut into the body of the black giant, then dispersed the wind cannons and exploded directly inside the wound, releasing all its power!

This is just the prelude.

Divine lightning descended upon the world, instantly piercing through the body of that eighth-grade Savage Beast!

In the past, Yan Jun in Clear Mist City could pierce through ten miles with a single strike, and Li Shiwei was more than five times stronger than Yan Jun.

The black giant was severely injured, but it did not die. It was capable of resisting several eighth-rank beings, so how could it be defeated so easily? The black giant's body burst forth with Yang Energy, and the flowing blood blossomed with countless vitality. Its wounds healed rapidly!

This made the other Sea Hunting Realm turn pale.

Judging from the extent of the Savage Beast's declining vitality, this level of healing ability would probably take at least a day to overcome if it weren't an instant kill.

That reinforcement just now has already breached a section of the city wall. If the fighting continues for a whole day, the city will probably be destroyed not by Savage Beast, but by this very person.

But Li Shiwei wasn't finished yet!

She dodged the Savage Beast's attack with a quick backstep, took out a blank talisman, threw it into the air, then bit her finger and wrote the talisman with her blood.

The talisman is divided into the Talisman Head, the Talisman Core, and the Talisman Foot.

First, above the Talisman Head, Shen Shuibi's honorific name was written: the Yellow Goddess Your Highness of the Moon's Taiyin Yin Qi.

Next, there is Talisman Core, who practices the True Qi Thunder Method. This is the origin of her name: Chonghe Xiadan, Heavenly Vehicle Qi Purple. Shiwei's Mastered Ziwei True Palace.

The Talisman Foot ends with the local sun and moon.

"The True Lord's Decree, Jade Pivot Command!"

As she struck down the talisman, a new moon unfolded in the sky, and intense Taiyin Qi descended. The surrounding thunder instantly transformed into Yin Thunder, Yin Thunder rose from the ground with a mournful sound like stone striking thin ice, and a sound like snow dancing in the wind.

The Yin Thunder was like a maggot clinging to a bone, rapidly extinguishing the Yang Energy of the black giant's body. Through the talisman, the aura of a fifth-rank being faintly revealed.

The black giant's Yang Energy was being corroded, causing it to cry out in pain. Its wounds continued to erupt with even stronger vital Yang Energy in an attempt to heal, making its blood erupt like a volcano!

The intense Yang Energy melted the ground beneath its feet, and the resulting lava rivers sprayed outwards, forming a massive and spectacular fire waterfall. Lava was splashing everywhere, creating what was essentially a boiling torrential downpour...

The foul fumes from the lava suffocated living things, and the leaping flames continued to surge and churn across the surface!

But then the natives of the Sea Hunting Realm also began to use their Technique Method, and along with the pattering raindrops, beautiful songs drifted over.

In that instant, it was as if they had merged with the torrential rain, their sounds blending with the rain. In a flash, the mountains and rivers, the pines in the valleys, the water and clouds reflected each other, and an eighth-rank official was seen controlling the surrounding river, pouring the entire river water down to extinguish the Yang Energy.

But suddenly, the water froze.

Because the Yin Qi was spreading continuously, even though it was just a wisp of Yin Qi, it directly froze the black giant, destroying all its vitality.

Then, Li Shiwei waved her hand, and countless talismans stirred up a storm in the air, making a rustling sound. They flew back to her hand on their own, and as she waved her hand, the talismans fell into her hand with a whoosh, stacked up, extremely elegant.

Li Shiwei is among the top of the eighth rank, and that's no joke. She inherited a part of her parents' Dao, and was born after being a sphere for decades. Her own comprehension ability is also quite good. It can be said that... in the eighth rank range, she is one of the top in the world.

So, with just a simple demonstration, she stunned everyone present.

Even Zhang You was included.

Zhang You stared blankly at Li Shiwei.

She knew Li Shiwei was very capable, and she also knew that her best friend came from an extraordinary background, but she never imagined that Li Shiwei could be this strong.

She might not reach the level of a seventh-rank official, but against an eighth-rank official like Zhang You, Li Shiwei could easily take on a hundred people at once if she went all out.

Li Shiwei... she's truly amazing and so happy.

Unlike the dazed Zhang You, the little rascal looked at his masterpiece with great pride.

She easily dealt with a beast tide, and there was even an extremely powerful eighth-grade Savage Beast, hmph!

She landed below with a smug look on her face.

The battlefield below was already devastated, with a large number of soldiers dead.

The entire battlefield was littered with corpses, people were colliding with each other, and traffic and normal order had basically collapsed. Those who were thrown into the air by the aftershocks and barely survived were crawling on the ground, some shouting and others cursing. The logistics personnel on the other side of the city wall were rushing over, but by the time they arrived, many people would probably be dead.

In addition, Li Shiwei could even see that people would fall off the huge city wall from time to time, like dumplings being dropped into a pot, leaving puddles on the ground with a series of thuds.

Besides the humans, the bodies of the Savage Beast were also torn to pieces, scattered everywhere.

Of these casualties, about 30% were caused by Li Shiwei. Her wide-range lightning strikes and the damage caused by the collapsed walls were not insignificant. While shattering the horde of Savage Beast, they also caused almost the same damage to the soldiers on the front lines.

The wind whistled, and dust and black smoke billowed out from the Fire Calamity, polluting the outside air.

Li Shiwei's smug smile froze for a moment.

It wasn't about feeling guilty or anything, but the scene was disgusting; there were severed limbs everywhere, and the stench was overwhelming.

At this moment, the local eighth-rank hunter from the Sea Hunting Realm also rushed towards Li Shiwei.

These eight officials each had a different attitude.

Some looked around with sorrow, some with Li Shiwei or even fear, and others with anger, but were pulled away by their companions to the other side.

But some others approached with smiles, cupped their hands, and greeted Li Shiwei in their familiar local dialect, saying, "Welcome to the Chamber of Commerce. May I ask how we should address you, senior?"

"I... my surname is Li. I'm sorry, I seem to have accidentally hurt a lot of people. I'm so sorry." Li Shiwei was a little stunned at first, but she immediately realized what she had done and apologized to the eighth-rank native of the Sea Hunting Realm who had come up to her.

"There's no need, no need. This is a necessary sacrifice, and they'll be happy to see it. Without Senior Li's intervention, their deaths would have been even more meaningless, and they might not have even been able to save the city!" The eighth-rank Sea Hunting Realm immediately waved his hand, appearing indifferent.

"Is that so?" Li Shiwei glanced around and frowned slightly.

She didn't feel guilty because... it didn't seem like much? She was a little embarrassed, but she couldn't just not do anything, could she? That would definitely result in more deaths.

Then, she took a look at the natives of the Sea Hunting Realm.

The natives of the Sea Hunting Realm are typical humanoid creatures, looking very similar to humans around the world, except that their skin is brownish-black and they are somewhat hunched over. However, they still have two hands, two legs, one nose, and two eyes, so they could be considered the same species.

Many indigenous people are actually humanoid, and their appearance is not much different from that of humans around the world. The reason is simple: this posture is the most in line with the rules of most of the world.

This is not a coincidence, but rather a kind of the Unseen influence.

Just as water naturally flows downhill when there is gravity, this is called 'convergence' in the theory of Way of Evolution. This kind of human body is suitable for cultivation and for the awakening of spiritual intelligence. The microcosm within the human body is also more regular than that of a strangely shaped body, and will naturally occupy most of the world. Don't you see that the beetles in the Sacred Flame Realm also walk upright with two arms and two legs? This is enough to illustrate the evolutionary advantage of this posture.

If life possesses an evolutionary advantage, then life will naturally tend towards this posture.

In a world where cultivation is possible, this posture is a typical example of evolutionary advantage.

"That's natural, Senior Li, please don't take it to heart and let it affect your mood. A banquet has been prepared in the city, and we are just waiting for the seniors from the Chamber of Commerce to come and collect the supplies for the past twenty years!" The eighth-rank official led Li Shiwei, his attitude even bordering on humble.

However, Li Shiwei noticed that there were five eighth-rank officials surrounding them, one of whom was being held back by the other two eighth-rank officials who kept trying to persuade him.

Only two eighth-rank officials remained, their attitude humble, laughing and joking as they explained the situation to her.

This made Li Shiwei somewhat curious about the difference in these attitudes.

Rationally, she could understand that different people had different attitudes towards her, but... how could she not have helped the Sea Hunting Realm? Just now, without her, these five people definitely wouldn't have been able to stop that eighth-grade Savage Beast, and this city would have been destroyed.

You could say you saved the city, so why are they glaring at you angrily? Was it because of an accidental injury?

This can't be called accidental injury, can it? The lightning strikes over such a wide area are beyond her control. Was she just going to sit idly by and watch the city be breached? What would that look like?

Forget about that.

Li Shiwei suppressed her emotions and was welcomed into the city by the two eighth-rank officials.

Then, she enjoyed treatment she had never experienced before!

Over the next few days, Li Shiwei received a grand welcome and was treated as a hero.

The local indigenous people welcomed her with the utmost respect and courtesy. Her power was widely celebrated, and her deeds were reported in various media outlets!

Even when she walks down the street, she causes traffic chaos due to the crowds of onlookers.

Various celebrities and high-ranking figures from around the world invited her to participate in various events.

Li Shiwei had never seen anything like this before.

Throughout Xuanjing Mountain, there are only about 20,000 to 30,000 living beings who can speak. After leaving Xuanjing Mountain, the place with the most people is the merchant guild's ship.

On the ship, she was just an inconspicuous security guard, responsible for mediation and security matters. At first, she had all sorts of interests, but after more than a year, she began to feel suffocated.

Li Shiwei didn't know what she wanted; she had simply inherited her father's curiosity.

Just like Li Qi, she couldn't wait to see all sorts of new and exciting things, to see all kinds of things she had never seen before, without even realizing it herself.

However, unlike Li Qi knew very well why he was reading about everything.

Li Qi wanted to climb high, to have a Ten Thousand Paths, to understand their thoughts and propositions, to draw nourishment from these philosophies and wisdom, and then use that to support himself to climb to a higher position, to see more things, thus forming a cycle.

This is his Dao Path.

However, Li Shiwei was not aware of this; she was simply driven forward by her curiosity. She had no idea why she was curious; it was just a child's instinct to try new things.

So--

This instinct also applies to the sense of accomplishment at this moment.

Countless people boasted about her achievements, making her experience the feeling of being "superior to others" for the first time.

"Senior Li, there's going to be another beast tide soon, everyone's waiting for you to make your move!"

She kept repeating these words. At first, she was unhappy, but she calmly realized that these people wanted to use her as a pawn, so she politely refused.

However, when she finished resupplying this base and headed to the next base with the goods, she discovered that the people at the next base also recognized her.

She was still recognized.

This made Li Shiwei secretly pleased, but she remained calm. It was normal, after all; such a large-scale publicity campaign couldn't be limited to just one city.

This time, however, she didn't encounter a beast tide, so she didn't make a move.

Zhang You didn't bring up those issues again, remaining as silent and gentle as ever.

Until she arrived in the fourth city.

Here, too, there is a beast tide.

And this time, she is ready to be a 'hero' again.
