Chapter 646 The War Begins First (Bonus Chapter for 40,000 Monthly Tickets)

"I've refined three clusters of Dragon Soul Source Light, and I'm only one step away from the peak of the second realm," Li Weiyi said with a smile.

"You need to refine three clusters to go from the mid-stage of the second realm to the peak of the second realm?"

Even though Tang Wanzhou was mentally prepared, she was speechless. The dragon soul source light she had refined was less than half of Li Weiyi's. She suspected that someone like Li Weiyi, who cultivated like this, could even defy the transcendent at the seventh realm.

"And you, at the peak of the third realm?" Li Weiyi asked.

Tang Wanzhou said, "I'm still far from it! Maybe next time, during my next seclusion, I'll have a chance to break through."

“I have a way to quickly find the Longevity Lock, which can save a lot of time. Do you want my help?” Li Weiyi asked.

"I also have a secret method."

Tang Wanzhou got up and left, releasing the silkworms, which began to spin their cocoons for the second time.

Li Weiyi went to the Sea of ​​Souls and, with the help of the starlight, found the third longevity lock, the "Azure Dragon Lock." Only then did he return to the valley, release the second silkworm, and spin the second cocoon.

Within the cocoon, just three months later, Li Weiyi reached the peak of the second realm.

In the following year, Li Weiyi was finally able to free up his energy to simultaneously attempt to break through the Azure Dragon Lock, cultivate Taoist arts, and absorb the spiritual light from the starlight of the Holy Spirit King's mental power, thereby improving his mental power cultivation.

The cultivation of Taoist arts mainly involves absorbing karmic fire to achieve minor success in the fifth level of the Six Like Burning Karma.

In addition, after studying the fifth level of the "Nine Heavens Thunder Strike Sword", he found a bunch of related Thundercloud Sect classics.

He believed that as long as the basic research was thorough, he could directly absorb the lightning power from the Thunder Pool in the field of Qin Yuan's ancestor and cultivate the purple Thunderstrike Sword.

A year later, the second cocoon emerged.

The moment Li Weiyi emerged from her cocoon, she had just come into contact with the outside world when a feeling of weakness washed over her from within.

He tried to stand up, but the world spun around him, his legs went weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

It's like a person who has been in a weightless environment for a long time suddenly returning to the ground with normal gravity. The same applies to space and time; both can cause damage to the body.

"How could this be? Even including the time spent cultivating in the Netherworld, it's still less than ten years. Could it be..."

Li Weiyi guessed that it might be because he used the Time Cocoon of the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish to go into seclusion before entering the Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins, which also consumed his lifespan.

He looked at the three cocoons that had already spun their cocoons for the third time, wondering if they had encountered the same situation.

He took out the life-saving medicine that Yu Yaozi had left for the seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Kings, ate one of them, and after regulating his breathing, he recovered. Then he took out the third silkworm.

Life-Giving Medicine is a thousand-year-old elixir that grows beside the Life Spring, capable of extending lifespan and enhancing vital energy.

The third training session has ended.

When the cocoon broke, Li Wei was mentally prepared and did not get up immediately, but the dizzying weakness still made his vision go black.

I touched under my nose, and my fingers were covered in blood.

He heard Nangong's anxious voice beside him: "How did he get so seriously injured?"

Tang Wanzhou had his own guesses, but he couldn't tell Mo Duanfeng and Nangong openly, so he could only remain silent.

Nangong took out a fine medicinal herb, plucked a fragrant petal, and fed it to Li Weiyi.

After a while, Li Weiyi recovered somewhat and, savoring the powerful life force contained in the flower petals, asked curiously, "What did you feed me?"

"A special aphrodisiac!"

Nangong squatted down in front of him and said this.

The special medicine she mentioned was very similar to the life-saving medicine, and it probably involved the secrets of the ancient clan of time. Li Weiyi stopped asking and looked at Mo Duanfeng and Tang Wanzhou: "You were not affected by the power of time?"

Tang Wanzhou said, "Yes, but it's very mild, just a slight dizziness."

“You’ll be in serious trouble after your next seclusion!” Li Weiyi said.

Mo Duanfeng laughed and said, "Even with the addition of the three Chunhua, I have been cultivating in the Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins for less than ten years, so there is no problem for now. Moreover, my cultivation is higher than yours, so I can definitely withstand it more."

"You've broken through?" Li Weiyi understood the implied meaning in his words.

People are in high spirits when they have good news. Mo Duanfeng was quite proud and cheerful. He laughed and said, "Breaking the White Tiger Lock in ten years is quite fast. After all, my Longevity Lock is very difficult to break. The three of you must have great secrets, otherwise, you wouldn't have broken the lock so quickly."

"However, in these ten years, I haven't just been trying to obtain the White Tiger Lock; I've also made a tremendous gain. This gain alone is enough to measure the weight of the ancient truth."

Tang Wanzhou was moved: "You've cultivated the fifth level of a fully mastered imperial technique?"

“No, but it’s pretty much the same,” Mo Duanfeng said.

Nangong said, "In the fourth stage of the Longevity Realm, those who have cultivated the fifth level of the Imperial Technique have the qualifications to compete for the first place on the Longevity Ranking in every generation of Longevity Realm cultivators."

"With the help of the silkworm, I was able to complete the two great achievements of longevity and swordsmanship before the announcement of the Longevity Ranking. I won't say any more words of thanks. I'm going to the Demon Kingdom's altar now. If I have the chance, I might be able to destroy it by myself."

Mo Duanfeng clasped his hands in farewell to the three men and prepared to leave.

Tang Wanzhou cautioned, "Old Mo, you must not act impulsively."

"Haha! Don't worry, I'll learn from my mistakes. I'm also good at causing trouble."

After Mo Duanfeng left, Nangong gave Li Weiyi and Tang Wanzhou each a raw medicinal herb.

Raw herbs are ancient medicinal herbs that have grown for thousands of years by the banks of the spring, and have been in the hands of the Queen of Time for 20,000 years.

This is also one of the most important objectives of the Demon Kingdom's army on this mission.

If the Spring of Life is found, Demon Lord Yu Baxian can extend his life.

Li Weiyi looked at the fourth silkworm, somewhat afraid that it was the fourth time he had gone into seclusion, but if he didn't use it, it would be a huge waste.

The voice of the taciturn wife rang out: "Time is a shortcut, but you cannot rely on it completely. After this seclusion, you must not open the Time Cocoon again for at least a year."

Li Weiyi was not worried but happy. The man's words were undoubtedly telling him that he could continue.

Seeing that she had finally spoken, Li Weiyi was not about to let it go, and quickly said, "Why don't you teach me the laws of time or order or something? If I can control time, then I won't be able to avoid being devoured by the backlash?"

After a long silence, the taciturn voice of his protective wife rang out: "First of all, you haven't reached the cultivation level required to access the laws of cultivation through martial arts. Secondly, you are not suitable for cultivating the laws of time."

"Then what should I cultivate?" Li Weiyi asked.

She said, "Light and darkness, truth and nothingness."

"Light gives rise to life, and darkness gives birth to death; this is your family's innate talent."

"Taoism originates from truth and pursues the ultimate state of nothingness; this is the destiny of your sect. You will only consider which path to choose once you have reached the other shore."

"Alright, that concludes today's sermon. I'll go and try to understand it myself." Li Weiyi understood each word individually, but when put together, he was completely baffled.

He said, "We can talk about family and sect, that's something I'm quite interested in."

"When the ten-year period is up, someone will naturally tell you." After saying this, the taciturn wife who protected the Dao fell silent.

After taking the raw medicine and regulating your breathing.

Li Weiyi hid inside the formation and entered the Blood Mud Space, trying to see if he could wrap the corpse of Ancestor Qin Yuan inside the cocoon.

Nangong had told them that the chrysanthemum cocoon could only hold one living being and one silkworm inside, but Ancestor Qin Yuan was not a living being.

As the silkworms gradually finished spinning their cocoons, Li Weiyi finally felt relieved.

During his fourth training session, he focused on cultivating the fifth level of the "Nine Heavens Thunder Strike Sword" and attempting to break through to the third realm of the Holy Spirit Mind Master.

The Thunder Pool in Qin Yuan's ancestral field was several zhang square, and the lightning power within it was extremely strong and domineering. Li Wei pressed his palm down and gently guided it, causing the silk threads of the cocoon to vibrate and roar.

Once he was certain that the cocoon would not break, he then used the fifth level of the "Nine Heavens Thunder Strike Sword" technique to condense a small thunder strike array in the Divine Palace.

He continuously absorbed the lightning from the Thunder Pool into the Thunder Array, and practiced sword techniques with his mind.

Six months later, Li Weiyi officially entered the fifth level, transforming the white lightning into purple lightning.

Half a year later, purple lightning condensed into a phantom lightning sword, which flew through the array, reaching the fifth level of minor completion.

After an unknown amount of time, the purple lightning sword solidified from its ethereal state and flew directly out of the Divine Palace.

"Boom!"

The nearly ten-foot-long purple lightning sword broke through the cocoon and flew out, striking the rocky hill at the end of the Blood Mud Space with a loud boom, splitting it in two.

Where the hill was divided, the rocks showed signs of melting, and purple lightning crackled and lingered for a long time.

"This is the completion of the fifth level of Imperial Technique?"

"It only took a little over a year to master, it doesn't seem as difficult as they said."

Li Weiyi felt it was because he had spent a lot of time studying ancient texts in the early stages. Of course, the Thunder Pool within Ancestor Qin Yuan's body also played a significant role.

Having learned from experience this time, he immediately took out a life-saving herb and swallowed it.

Next, it's time to recuperate and get back to normal as soon as possible.

Li Weiyi examined the Azure Dragon Lock internally. With the help of Ancestor Qin Yuan's powerful lightning force, this third Longevity Lock was already riddled with cracks, and its progress far exceeded his expectations.

I thought it would take at least five years to break free.

Now, all things considered, it has only taken three and a half years, and it is almost about to break down.

“It seems that cultivating the Nine Heavens Thunder Strike Sword can help break the Longevity Lock. If the sixth level is successfully cultivated, the speed of breaking the lock should be even faster.”

After finishing his meditation, Li Weiyi, along with Chun Die, returned to the valley from the Blood Mud Space.

Together with Nangong, they waited for Tang Wanzhou for another three days.

Tang Wanzhou had five silkworms and was a ruthless person. Even though his body was suffering from the same backlash as Li Weiyi, he still went into seclusion for the fifth time and endured it.

After she finished her seclusion, Li Weiyi and Nangong's physical condition had returned to its peak.

"Have you broken through to the fourth realm?" Li Weiyi asked immediately.

Tang Wanzhou shook his head, forcing a heroic posture to conceal his weakness, and smiled, "Old Mo took ten years, I feel I can succeed in six. I will definitely break through within the next two years."

After taking the raw medicine given to her by Nangong, she suddenly stood up: "Shall we set off? I can do it."

Li Weiyi knew she would need at least several days to recover, so he said, "Why don't you control the seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Queens and the swarm of insects? I'll go and meet that Demon Kingdom's second-place scholar. Wenren Tinghai and Huo Tingye can be left to Nangong."

As the three were discussing their plan, a ghostly figure flashed into the valley: "The battle has already begun!"

It was the Great Holy Spirit Master of the ancient clan who protected them, Nangong Heshang.

"What?"

The expressions on the faces of all three changed.

Nangong was the most nervous: "The Holy Temple's habitat?"

“No.” Nangong Heshang shook his head.

Li Weiyi's eyes narrowed, and he asked worriedly, "Did Old Mo really go to attack the Demon Kingdom's altar all by himself?"

"No! It's outside the border where the Demon Kingdom's altar is located. The Grand Palace Master, the Clan Chief, the Third Palace Master, and experts from the Lingxiao Realm court clashed with the three strongest figures from the Demon Kingdom!" Nangong He said.

The three young people were stunned, then overjoyed: "Let's go take a look."
