Chapter 489: Wind, Fire, Thunder and Lightning
The hidden people, elders, supreme elders, and ancient hidden people of the Hidden Sect were not all gathered in the stronghold to avoid being wiped out in one fell swoop.
Li Weiyi followed the Hermit and went to meet Qin Lao and two ancient hermits who had retired behind the scenes.
One of them is the teacher of the Hermit Lord Li Songgu, who was the Hermit Lord from the previous sixty years ago and is now 132 years old.
The other one is much older and is nearly four hundred years old.
They had long since abandoned worldly concerns, dedicating themselves to cultivation, traveling the world, and exploring secret realms. The seven chains of immortality stood as chasms before them. Each one was as difficult as ascending to heaven; only by crossing them could they gain a lifespan of sixty years.
Only by crossing all of them can you reach the other shore and transcend the world.
No one from the Jiuli tribe and the Jiuli Hidden Sect has reached that level for thousands of years.
Leaving the residences of the two ancient Hermit Lords and walking along the misty path, the Hermit Lord asked with a smile, "How do you feel?"
"His cultivation is unfathomable." Li Weiyi had a look of longing in his eyes.
"You have only been practicing for a short time, you will catch up sooner or later."
The Hidden Lord continued, "The lifespan of a Dao Seed Realm cultivator is two Jiazi (sixty years) or one hundred and twenty years. The cultivation of the Longevity Realm is to break the seven Longevity Chains within the body and achieve a leap in life levels. Each time a chain is broken, one Jiazi (sixty years) of life is gained."
"If one can break all seven locks and reach the seventh realm within a limited lifespan, one will have a lifespan of nine sixty years, or five hundred and forty years. This is the limit of the immortal's lifespan!"
"If you want to go further, break through the realm of transcendence, and live for more than a thousand years, it will be as difficult as ascending to heaven."
"Those inheritors and young emperors you see now are all stunning and talented, but they will all ultimately stop somewhere in the Seven Realms of Immortality."
"In the entire Lingxiao Habitat, over the past thousand years, apart from those from the Dao Sect, less than five people have successfully broken through to the Transcendent Realm. The Dao Sect benefited from the incredible opportunity in the underground immortal palace and ascended to the immortal realm by inheriting the legacy of the ancient Bhagavad Gāthā. A single sect has cultivated a transcendental powerhouse that surpasses the entire Lingxiao Habitat. Such an opportunity is rare in ancient and modern times."
Li Weiyi agreed deeply.
Li Weiyi had no access to other resources. However, just the Lingtai Yanxing Stone in the underground immortal palace could increase the speed of a mind master's cultivation to a level unattainable by the outside world.
This is a good example.
Moreover, which one of Yang Shenjing, Xu Fudu, and An Xianjing is not a famous immortal?
Yang Shenjing was in the Yongquan Realm, having just reached the Hundred Meridians level, becoming a successor. Li Weiyi had fought him on the Psychic Stone Wall of the Hidden Gate. Yet, he had lived for hundreds of years and had become one of the strongest individuals with the greatest potential to reach the Transcendent Realm.
The hidden gods and inheritors of every sixty years in the major sects are almost all better than him in foundation, but not many have reached the level of cultivation he has.
From this, it can be seen that the ancient Bhagavata religion must have left behind some resources or secret techniques that can help martial artists break free from the chain of immortality.
Li Weiyi was concerned about this and decided to ask An Xianjing about it next time they met.
The Hermit continued, "The transcendent beings who currently support the Lingxiao Living Realm and protect the world from wind and rain all achieved enlightenment a thousand years ago. This is true for all the major sects and the imperial court. Do you know why?"
Li Weiyi said, "Ninety percent of Lingxiao's habitat has been swallowed up by the Netherworld of the Dead. Resources are scarce, the population has plummeted, and the number of geniuses in cultivation has naturally decreased as well."
The Hermit was silent for a moment. "Have you ever thought about it the other way around? It's true that the Lingxiao habitat a thousand years ago was powerful enough. Of the masters from the Three Hundred States who survived, none of them were simple figures?"
"Everyone in Lingxiao Biosphere is top-notch right now. This is actually the wealth accumulated during the time of Wu Tianzi."
"It's because we have such a strong foundation that we can withstand the Western Demon Tribe, the Netherworld of the Dead, the Demonic Kingdom, and the Rice Cult. If it were any other habitat of the same size, how could we withstand these four forces?"
Li Weiyi suddenly realized, "Doesn't this mean that Lingxiao's habitat is not weak among the habitats?"
Yin Jun smiled and said, "This is what I want to tell you. Although Daogong, Du'e Temple, and the demon tribe are powerful, as long as they fight within the rules, there is no need to be afraid of them. As long as the transcendents of Lingxiao Shengjing unite and stop fighting among themselves, they will not fear anyone except the Martial Emperor."
"Now you should understand the power of Wu Tianzi's killing spree, beheading more than ten transcendents in a single day. As long as she is alive, Du'e Temple and Daogong in the East China Sea can only abide by the rules. We are not inferior to others."
“But there are two major regrets.”
"The first pity is that the Grand Palace Master was plotted against by the Second Palace Master and is likely dead. If she were still alive, if she remained as wise and intelligent as she had been for the past thousand years, Lingxiao Living Realm would truly be fearless! We wouldn't be afraid of internal chaos, nor would we be afraid of the likes of Qilin Zang or the Demonic Crown Prince."
"The second regret is that, over the past thousand years, including now, there has been a gap in the Lingxiao Habitat. The number of masters in the Immortal Realm and below is indeed difficult to compare with the ancient sects, kingdoms, and demon tribes outside. After all, the population base gap is there, and the resources of the Twenty-Eight States are always limited."
A warm glow appeared on the sea level.
After a night of running around, the sky gradually brightened.
Li Weiyi came to Yao Qingxuan's residence, knocked on the door and walked in.
Yao Qingxuan sat by the window, holding a scripture in her hand. The light shone on her head, and every strand of hair was covered with a layer of light. Her cheeks were as white as snow, and her eyes were calm and leisurely, as if she was not affected at all.
She is a person with a deep mind and a strong character. She has experienced many ups and downs and is not comparable to Yao Yin today.
"You escaped back alive? The strength of Inamiya below the Changsheng Realm is more than ten times that of Lingxiao Realm. You are so bold." She did not take her eyes away from the scriptures.
Li Weiyi displayed the same composure as when Qiongji Daozi and Yao Qingxuan stood together. He said, "The Rice Palace is indeed a behemoth, a sacred place for rice people, a place where hidden dragons and crouching tigers exist. However, not all of the younger generation have come to the East China Sea. In terms of the number of Dao Seed Realm cultivators, Lingxiao Biosphere Reserve has an absolute advantage."
"Last night, I went to see Yao Yin and told her everything I needed to say! She has always liked to compete with herself, but she is definitely not paranoid. She will definitely understand you."
Yao Qingxuan narrowed his eyes and looked away from the scriptures: "It's best if you don't get involved in this matter. It has nothing to do with you."
"Master, you are worried that you will bring me into danger, right? Master is one of the few people who treats me sincerely. When I needed help the most, Yao Yin sold the property you left her and bought cultivation resources to help me. I will remember every favor!" Li Weiyi said.
Yao Qingxuan fell into deep thought: "How is she?"
"I know her, she'll be fine."
Li Weiyi asked, "Master, do you know if the Dao Sect has any resources or secret techniques that can help break the Longevity Lock?"
Yao Qingxuan's expression was calm, clearly having suspected this long ago. "There should be, but that's top-level secrets I haven't had access to. It might be related to the Nine-Page Book of Shining Stars and the Ji Emperor's Hunyuan Sutra... It's hard to say. There are shortcuts to the Immortal Realm, but natural talent always comes first."
"Tang Wanzhou, for example, broke through the Soul Return Chain within two years of reaching the Immortal Realm and entered the Second Realm. I wonder how many martial artists who prided themselves on their extraordinary talents were driven to despair, like a mayfly peeping into the sky."
"You should know that it's not uncommon for a martial artist in the Immortal Realm to exhaust their lifespan and not even reach the second realm."
"If you can break the Soul Return Lock within forty years after breaking through the realm of immortality, it would be considered good. In the next sixty years, you will have an extra twenty years to break the third lock."
"To have broken through within twenty years is already considered superior. You should know that this is the best among the immortal realm martial artists."
"It's extremely rare to break through within ten years. Only those who are truly disciples of ancient sects can do it. Or, they must have had an incredible opportunity."
Li Weiyi could hear the bitterness and self-mockery in Yao Qingxuan's tone.
Doesn't she also pride herself on her talent?
Tang Wanzhou's rapid advancement to the Second Realm was undoubtedly due to her near-death experience with the Six Minds Mantra and the Blood Mud Space. She had previously stated that the blood and spiritual power within the Blood Mud Space could help her break free from the Soul-Returning Chains.
Li Weiyi trusted Yao Qingxuan, but with his current cultivation level, how could he dare to expose the blood mud space to so many people? The more people knew, the greater the possibility of mistakes.
Perhaps in the future, when my cultivation level is high enough, I will be fearless.
Sending Tang Wanzhou in was completely forced. Fortunately, although Tang Wanzhou was shameless, he knew how to return the favor and helped Li Weiyi a lot.
"Disciple has come across a scroll of the true scripture, which I would like to lend to Master for his enlightenment."
Li Weiyi knew that Yao Qingxuan's cultivation method originated from the Yaoli tribe, so he took out a similar scripture from the classics in the Shenwu Tower of Lingxiao Palace and placed it on the table.
"True Scripture?"
Yao Qingxuan was secretly startled and quickly picked up the jade object on the table and examined it carefully. An ancient and sacred charm came to his face and penetrated his soul.
Dense scriptures then emerged on the surface of the jade.
The speed of cultivation when comprehending the true scriptures and comprehending the handwritten copies is completely different.
"The value of this item is immeasurable. It can be used to establish a religion. Is this something that can be casually taken out and flaunted?" Yao Qingxuan said.
"Then return it to me?"
Li Weiyi reached out to take it back.
"Go away. I'll meditate for a while and then I'll return it to you." Yao Qingxuan said.
…
Bloody mud space.
Li Weiyi weaves a cocoon of time, and then takes out four pages of "The Book of Earth" to study and contemplate.
There is no remnant of blue cloud energy on these four pages of "Book of Earth", but rather the four chapters of "wind, fire, thunder and lightning".
As time went by, scriptures with corresponding attributes appeared on the Twelve Lotuses of Shenque and the Dao Fruits of Fengfu.
No further in-depth understanding was given.
Li Weiyi was well aware that a profound classic like the Book of Earth required long periods of practice and contemplation to achieve results. His most pressing need now was to increase his combat power as quickly as possible.
After Wu Hongling reported the news, Inamiya would definitely go underground to investigate, and who knows what consequences it would cause.
“Wow! Wow…”
Driven by Li Weiyi's magical energy, the four pages of "Book of Earth" flew out at a rapid speed, as sharp as a sword.
On the pages of the book, the four forces of wind, fire, thunder and lightning appeared, very weakly.
Li Weiyi spread out his palm and took back the four pages. "Before you comprehend it, you can't activate it. After you comprehend it, you can use it as a magical tool."
"Perhaps, as they gain deeper understanding in the future, the power of wind, fire, thunder and lightning they unleash will be enhanced."
"When Fu Wenyan was in the most dangerous situation, he used the Book of Earth as a protective tool. But why do his two pages of the Book of Earth have a blue cloud aura?"
Li Weiyi couldn't figure out the reason and put the "Book from the Earth" away.
Afterwards, while absorbing the brilliance emitted by the Bright Star Book and cultivating his telekinesis, he took out materials and refined the Earth Sword Talisman, the Divine Movement Talisman, and the Immobilization Talisman.
In a short period of time, making talismans is the fastest way to improve your strength.
After reaching the rank of Eight-Star Spiritual Master, the yield rate of refining the Earth Sword Talisman increased significantly. However, due to the limitations of the rune itself, the Earth Sword Talisman could only match the full force of a seventh-level martial artist.
Li Weiyi's telekinesis is special, which increases its power a little.
Once you are familiar enough with it, you will definitely try to refine the Heavenly Sword Talisman.
I only stayed in the cocoon of time for ten days.
Yin Jiu stood outside the door, the sun hanging on the roof behind him. He smiled and said, "The Hidden God is really patient. The Snow Sword Tang Court, Dao Palace, Du'e Temple, Zuoqiu Gate, all parties are looking for you, but you are practicing in seclusion. How is it? Did I disturb you?"
