Chapter 673 Great Holy Spirit Master Li Weiyi
"The flow of time within the cocoon is too rapid, like pulling up seedlings to help them grow."
"Your bodies were severely depleted in the Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins last time. You need to recuperate for at least three to five years under normal time flow before using the Cocoon. This is the experience we have accumulated over the past hundred years."
An aged voice came from the tower.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of footsteps descending the stairs could be heard.
The Grand Elder emerged from within the tower gate, which was shrouded in a veil of arrayed light. His wrinkled hands held a delicate, half-foot-long jade box. Looking at the extraordinary young man standing quietly at the bottom of the steps, he said, "You have exceptional talent, and the Grand Palace Master values you highly. Having lived for over five hundred years, I have come to understand many things. I will tell you something I shouldn't say: 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 really in dire straits, handing over the Jade Book of Life to save your life is more important than anything else. Alas, as people get older, their spirits fade, and they talk a lot more."
"I understand."
Li Wei could sense the Grand Elder's sincerity, a sentiment completely different from that of the young Longevity Realm martial artists who were prepared to die in battle before heading to Xiaoyao Capital.
The Grand Elder handed the jade box to Li Weiyi: "This was prepared for you by the Grand Palace Master. There are healing pills and Holy Thought Star Pills. 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 it further... I hope to have the opportunity to send it 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 artists in a very short time. In the Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins, if Li Wei had healing elixirs of this caliber, he could easily handle 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.
"It's good to bring Xiaobai back; people are more important than springs."
The Grand Elder smiled bitterly: "The flow of time in the Netherworld is much gentler, so you can go there to cultivate first. Two silkworms are already at their fifth instar, so there should be enough time. I'll send them over to you then. Two cocoons should be enough, so it shouldn't be a problem. You can decide for yourself."
Li Wei could tell that the Grand Elder was pessimistic and did not have a good outlook on the fight. He said, "Nangong is from the Shaoyang 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 elder waved his arm gently and stepped back into the tower.
...
Ancient city of Chun, a place steeped in the ruins of time.
Six months have passed outside, but five years have passed in the Jiuli 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: "Is everyone in seclusion?"
Li Ling sat cross-legged atop a stone hill over twenty zhang high, her dark red dress absorbing the light of time: "Some are outside the city, cultivating medicinal fields, planting spirit grains, and building manors. My father said that the Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins 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."
Silkworms need to be raised for three years before they can mature and spin cocoons.
Li Weiyi possessed five silkworm eggs. He calculated the time and knew he could raise them in the Netherworld for two years, then move them into the Blood Mud Space for another year.
Silkworms 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.
"Silkworms?"
Li Ling had been in Chuncheng for five years and knew a lot about the place. 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 Jiuli clan in the Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins. That's the condition!"
"This condition... you don't know how to cherish it. I rarely owe 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 for it.
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 Midnight Sun Elixir, Li Songgu would immediately think of Li Ling. Li Ling would also immediately think of sharing her father's 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.
Yin Ershisi was almost going crazy. He had just been so shocked that his magical energy was reversed, and his magical energy was still in chaos: "You are the successor of the Grand Palace Master's Daoist arts. So many people in Lingxiao Palace can be at your beck and call. This little thing is going to delay me for two years?"
"There are no conditions. You'll do whatever I tell you to do. But if you raise even one of them to death, you'll be in big trouble."
Li Weiyi tossed her five silkworm eggs, the midnight sun dew from the Fusang Divine Tree, and a waist token, telling her to consult the silkworm breeders of the Ancient Time 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 inner strength.
Yin Ershisi 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 Chuncheng remains forever, day and night.
"Whoosh!"
After an unknown amount of time, the fourth beam of spiritual light condensed above Li Weiyi's head.
He then stopped meditating, opened his eyes, and his pupils shone brightly.
The power and spirit have been condensed to their full potential.
He can begin to condense the fortieth psychic star and merge his soul, attempting to break through to the fourth realm of the Holy Spirit Psychic Master.
Of the seven mid-grade spirit pills he exchanged at the Cave Ruins Camp, Li Weiyi had only used five, leaving two. He took one out as a backup; this time, he could only succeed in his attempt to break through to the next realm, failure was not an option.
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 spread out, flowing like a stream, meandering and twisting as it dissipated into the air.
A scent reminiscent of sandalwood or burning incense entered his nostrils. Instantly, Li Weiyi felt an unparalleled 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 Technique. Instantly, the moonlight from the surrounding world flowed continuously towards his brow.
Within the spiritual realm of the eyebrows, thirty-nine psychic stars began to operate according to a special pattern.
Within each psychic star, patterns and markings emerge.
Like a sky full of twinkling stars.
"Whoosh!"
All the spiritual flames condensed into countless streams, converging towards the thirty-nine psychic stars, searching for the fortieth location.
In Li Weiyi's mind, the illustrations and texts from all the mental power cultivation books he had read in the past appeared. He knew that condensing the fortieth mental power star was difficult, so he repeatedly deduced and tried again and again.
The colorful mist emanating from the rainbow enveloped the mountaintop, covering the soil and rocks with a layer of colorful light.
Three hours later, the rainbow incense burned for three inches.
Li Weiyi swallowed the Sacred Star Pill placed beside him, and his body was immediately illuminated like a celestial lamp, his skin and flesh as smooth as jade and ice. The light emanating from the figure atop the mountain could be seen from dozens of miles away.
The mid-grade elixir lived up to its reputation; after entering his stomach, Li Weiyi's fortieth mental energy star rapidly condensed in his spiritual realm.
Merging with a soul is the most dangerous thing.
But this time, it was as natural as water flowing into a channel. The power 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 Lintai 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 in the 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 a Great Holy Spirit Master? That's too fast!"
On both sides of the valley where the Jiuli tribe cultivated, stone doors opened one after another.
Everyone was alarmed and came out, discussing the matter.
"Great Holy Spirit Master!" Li Songgu stroked his beard and smiled.
Yin Ershisi stood beside the silkworm cocoon. Upon hearing this, his eyes were filled with shock, but he also revealed a restrained smile.
Although that guy was always targeting her, she could clearly sense that after she went to study with the Ancient Clan of Time using Li Weiyi's token, the attitude of the cultivators in Lingxiao Palace and the Holy Temple 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 and greatly helped Holy Spirit Mind Masters break through their realm, 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 realm, Li Weiyi leaped down from the mountaintop and walked toward the handsome figure sitting alone by the stream. He jokingly said to his former friend, "You, Taishi Bai, are the kind of person who doesn't come to my door unless there's a reason. Tell me, what is it? As long as you ask, I will definitely help."
Tai Shi 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 elixirs, which he personally refined during this period. He said that the talismans and formations refined by the older generation are forbidden, and this is all that can be helped. If you can't win, you must admit defeat and not be completely coerced by the Grand Palace Master. The Grand 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 Sima Qian had refined these elixirs because of his observation of the fog over the Zen sea.
"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 and won't know how to get along with you. That's fine. I'm going back to report. Sigh, I really hope to fight alongside you all."
"Tai Shi Bai, wait for me to come back so we can have a drink together. Call your brother too."
After seeing Taishi Bai off, Li Weiyi pondered silently.
Both the Grand Elder of the Ancient Clan and the Grand Historian saw the danger of this Hundred Realms Longevity Competition and wanted to dissuade them, but they could not speak.
This is hardly a confrontation with the younger generation.
They were going to fight the Demon Lord Yu Baxian to the death.
What are the chances of winning?
