***********************************
After a day of cultivation within the Time Cocoon, Li Weiyi, enveloped in Spirit Flame, shot out of the Formation surrounding the Buddha Pagoda like lightning.
He raced directly to the pavilion where Yao Qingxuan resided, overturned the lampshade, retrieved the Spirit Platform Blazing Starstone Fragment within, and stored it in his Spirit Realm between his eyebrows.
Then, moving with the speed of wind and lightning, he dashed back to the Formation area around the Buddha Pagoda and plunged into the Blood Mud Space.
When he began to condense his third Nianli Star, one Spirit Platform Blazing Starstone Fragment proved insufficient. Therefore, he had no choice but to take Yao Qingxuan's Spirit Platform Blazing Starstone Fragment.
He was at a critical stage in condensing his Spiritual Power (Nianli) Star and couldn't afford to worry about the consequences.
He'd have to buy another one from the Spirit Valley (Linggu) Hall later and replace it.
"It seems the higher one's cultivation realm, the more Spirit Platform Blazing Starstone Fragments are needed to condense a Spiritual Power (Nianli) Star. If I'd known, I should have sold those Hundred-Character Artifacts I had and bought a couple more."
Returning to the Tanggu Sea, Li Weiyi sat on a thirty-meter-long Jade Boat, using the second Spirit Platform Blazing Starstone Fragment to continue condensing his third Spiritual Power (Nianli) Star.
The light and shadow of the Fusang Divine Tree behind him mirrored the two real divine trees at the horizon, resembling a seedling and an ancient tree, a child and a teacher.
The Tanggu Sea was filled with the radiant, scorching Xihe, creating a beautiful and fragrant atmosphere.
Above him, light condensed into streams of luminous particles that flowed into Li Weiyi's forehead and the two Fusang Divine Tree light and shadows. His aura grew increasingly powerful, his entire body becoming crystal clear, like a Pure Immortal Physique.
"Gurgle!"
"Gurgle!"
.....
As time passed, bubbles began to surface, and white mist rose from the sea.
This was the sign that the Golden Crow was about to rise from the depths!
If Li Weiyi didn't leave immediately, his current cultivation level wouldn't be able to withstand the scorching heat of the sea-boiling flames.
He remained motionless, as still as an Immortal mountain, his consciousness withdrawn. His perception of the outside world was hazy, as he was at the critical moment of condensing his third Spiritual Power (Nianli) Star.
Behind him, the Fusang Divine Tree's shadow, towering over ten meters tall, grew thicker at its trunk, its branches spreading and reaching higher.
The divine tree's shadow continued to breathe rhythmically.
The Golden Crow Flame on its leaves became increasingly solid, its temperature and brightness intensifying.
"Glug!"
The bubbles on the sea's surface grew even larger.
The seabed seemed to be ablaze, radiating a golden-red glow that turned the seawater into a molten, magma-like color.
The more intense the moment, the brighter the Spirits Light surrounding Li Weiyi became, enveloping his entire body in flames.
"Boom!"
His Spirit Realm between his eyebrows trembled as his third Spiritual Power (Nianli) Star successfully condensed.
A ripple of golden-red light spread outward from Li Weiyi, reaching a distance of one li before gradually fading away.
At the sea's surface, concentric waves radiated outward from him.
This was his "One-Li World" - the extent of his Psychic Power's reach!
If a Martial-Mystic Dao (Path) cultivator could cultivate their Dao Heart Manifestation to the level of "One-Li World," they would be listed in the " Jiazi Register" and become an Elder of the Twin Rice Sect.
Of course, Li Weiyi was still far from reaching that level of Martial-Mystic Dao mastery.
However, in terms of perception, he was already on par with them.
This was the advantage of being a Spiritual Master!
"Oh no! The Golden Crow is about to emerge from the sea!"
Li Weiyi retracted his Jade Boat, transforming into a humanoid flame that shot through the Spatial Barrier Gate and tumbled into the Blood Mud Space.
"Boom!"
Almost instantly, a crimson-gold radiance and flames engulfed the entire Tanggu Sea.
Waves of heat and flames surged through the Spatial Barrier Gate, landing on Li Weiyi.
His robes instantly turned to ash, leaving only his Blood Handprint Demonic Armor.
His skin burned painfully, as his protective Spiritual Qi and Spirituality Light failed to block the heat.
Enduring the searing pain, Li Weiyi stood up, draped an outer robe over his shoulders, and gazed at the Golden Crow soaring into the sky.
He felt no fear, only excitement, truly realizing his current strength.
At this distance, the Golden Crow's heat was gradually losing its power over him.
He could now barely withstand it.
If he reached the Dao Seed Realm and further enhanced his physical body, he believed he could stand on the Tanggu Sea and withstand the full force of the heat waves.
Of course, this was because he and the Golden Crow's true form were separated by thousands of miles, perhaps even tens of thousands.
Getting too close to the Golden Crow Flame would still mean instant annihilation.
"Once my physical body is strong enough and I'm wearing the Governor's Robe, I'll stay right in the Tanggu Sea. During the Golden Crow's flight, I'll absorb its flame and Xihe's flame from the sea surface. My Spiritual Power (Nianli) Stars will grow rapidly."
Only then did Li Weiyi finally calm down and examine the three Spiritual Power (Nianli) Stars in his Spirit Realm.
Each star was several times larger than the one he had possessed as a One-Star Spiritual Master. They resembled three golden-red glass orbs, revolving in a mysterious pattern with powerful, scorching, and blinding energy.
"My Spiritual Light, influenced by the Fusang Divine Tree and the Golden Crow, is fire-attributed. Even without formations or runes, it possesses destructive offensive power, fully capable of rivaling Martial-Mystic Cultivators in the Third Heaven of the Dao Seed Realm."
"Against Ye Nanfeng and Ye Beifeng, those Inferior Root Dao Seed Realm Third Heaven cultivators, I should be able to take on two at once with just my Psychic Power, or at least hold my own."
Li Weiyi had just broken through, and his three Spiritual Power (Nianli) Stars still had considerable room for improvement.
However, without the Star Spiritual Pill, rapidly advancing to the peak of Three-Star Spiritual Master status would no longer be a quick process.
He would have to accumulate power gradually, like other Spiritual Masters, requiring a significant investment of time.
Unless he could find Zen Hai Guanwu to refine pills again.
Li Weiyi could also try refining the Star Spiritual Pill himself. He had watched Zen Hai Guanwu refine it before and knew the formula and required materials.
However, the materials for the Star Spiritual Pill were incredibly expensive.
Zen Hai Guanwu had refined twenty-nine pills, costing over a million Yongquan Coins.
With Li Weiyi's newly acquired Pill Refinement qualifications and his current level of Psychic Power and Dao (Path) of Pills cultivation, attempting to refine a High-Grade Spiritual Pill right away would result in an abysmal success rate and astronomical costs.
"With the Fusang Divine Tree, the Fusang Divine Tree Meditation Technique, and the Time Cocoon, my cultivation speed far surpasses that of other Three-Star Spiritual Masters."
"Breaking through to the next realm is the real challenge."
"The barrier to becoming a Four-Star Spiritual Master is a major hurdle, not easily overcome. For now, I need to find ways to earn more money and purchase more Spirit Platform Blazing Starstone Fragments and the materials for refining the Star Spiritual Pill."
"Yang Qingxi knows Wang Shu is not to be trifled with, yet she still wades into this mess. It seems that Fourth Divine Son must possess something extraordinary that has captivated her."
Li Weiyi decided that after rescuing Qi Xiao and Tuoba Butuo, he would shift his focus to the Martial-Mystic Dao, striving to perfect his Seventh Sea cultivation and complete his Dao Seed.
With this thought, he took out the Dao Fruit, whose Spiritual Qi had not yet fully dissipated, along with the newly purchased Spring Liquid.
He expanded his Seventh Sea to three thousand cubic meters, completely exhausting the Spiritual Qi within the Dao Fruit.
Next, Li Weiyi completely immersed himself in refining Spiritual Qi and consolidating his three Spiritual Power (Nianli) Stars.
The six little ones, having consumed the Dragon Seed, Xihe, and Heavenly Origin Spirit Grass, remained sprawled on the ground, their bodies enveloped in flames.
They emitted low, sharp screams that could pierce through metal and shatter stone.
These screams didn't sound like those of moths or butterflies; they resembled the calls of Luan Birds and Phoenixes.
Big Phoenix flew to Li Weiyi's shoulder and urgently whispered something in his ear.
"You're saying their transformation has gone wrong?" Li Weiyi's expression turned grave.
Big Phoenix nodded, explaining that the six little ones' transformation had taken far too long - nearly three days had passed - and their auras weren't growing stronger.
Instead, they seemed increasingly listless, as if about to fall into a deep sleep.
It had never experienced such a phenomenon during its own transformation.
Li Weiyi took this seriously.
He walked over to the six little ones, carefully examining their internal conditions and communicating with them through Psychic Power.
"There's nothing critically wrong, but they're gradually slipping into a deep sleep."
"Could it be that they haven't consumed enough resources and need to enter a dormant state to complete their transformation slowly?"
Li Weiyi had always been an avid reader of books related to Insect Control, gaining a thorough understanding of the feeding, growth, molting, hibernation, and control of rare insects.
After all, six of them were simultaneously attempting to break through to the Dao Seed Realm, and dividing half a stalk of Heavenly Origin Spirit Grass among them was clearly insufficient.
After some thought, he retrieved the Dao Fruit, its Spiritual Qi completely depleted, and placed it before the six young insects.
Initially, they only nibbled at it halfheartedly.
Gradually, however, they all perked up, swarming over it like six moths chasing a ball, devouring the Dao Fruit.
Before long, the Great Dao Essence, refined by a master at the Seventh Heaven of the Dao Seed Realm, was completely consumed.
Li Weiyi sighed softly.
This Dao Fruit was worth a million Yongquan Coins, the most valuable item he had that he could sell.
Fortunately, after devouring the Dao Fruit, the six young insects regained their vigor, and their metamorphosis intensified.
Dragon and phoenix phantoms appeared on each of their bodies, accompanied by dragon roars from within and phoenix screams from their mouths.
The dragon roars originated from their Dragon Seed and Dragon Bone.
The phoenix screams clearly stemmed from the essence of their own bloodlines.
This metamorphosis was so extraordinary that it was no wonder Tang Wanzhou suspected they weren't Monarch-Marquis Grade.
....
Four days after capturing Ye Nanfeng and Ye Beifeng.
Li Weiyi emerged from the Formation's light curtain and followed the Blood Lake to the main hall of the Southern Purity (Nanqing) Palace.
The injuries of Ye Nanfeng, Ye Beifeng, and Zuo Sheng had improved somewhat. With their Dao Seed Realm cultivation, as long as their Spiritual Qi wasn't sealed, even broken bones could heal quickly.
However, all three now bore many new wounds.
Ye Beifeng was in the worst condition. His tongue had been cut out, and the flesh on his right hand's five fingers had been completely stripped away, leaving only white bone.
With eyes filled with terror and dread, the three men stared at Yang Qingxi, who stood with her hands clasped behind her back.
"Viperous beauty" wasn't enough to describe her; her methods were both cunning and ruthless.
Ye Nanfeng and Ye Beifeng had been interrogated separately.
Ye Beifeng, caught in a lie, had his tongue cut out and his right hand's flesh sliced off piece by piece.
Ye Nanfeng, on the other hand, had been "rewarded" with treatment for his hands and feet.
From then on, all three answered her questions truthfully and completely, daring not to conceal or deceive in any way.
These three Dao Seed Realm experts from the Heretical Sect, who had once killed without mercy and were formidable figures in their own right, had been completely subdued by her.
Seeing Li Weiyi appear, Yang Qingxi's eyes above her veil were filled with displeasure.
"Where have you been? I went to find you and called out to you, but received no response. You've wasted too much time. If Wang Shu manages to condense a Dao Lotus, how will we fight this battle?"
"The entire sect now knows that we're going to challenge Wang Shu. If I lose, I'll only suffer humiliation and lose face. But you, your life will be forfeit."
Li Weiyi said, "If Wang Shu had broken through, he would have immediately gone to the Heavenly Principles (Tianli) Hall to obtain the order seal for breaking the formation and then rushed to the Southern Purity (Nanqing) Palace to rescue his people. Since he hasn't come, it means he hasn't yet condensed his Dao Lotus. Miss Yang, haven't you broken through to the Third Heaven of the Dao Seed Realm?"
"Breaking through isn't that easy," Yang Qingxi replied, her icy expression melting into a charming smile as she understood Li Weiyi's concerns, "Aren't you just looking for a legitimate reason to act? I've already extracted confessions from Wang Shu regarding at least two major crimes. Ye Nanfeng, you speak!"
Li Weiyi had long sensed that the three Dao Seed Realm experts before him seemed to have already been subdued by Yang Qingxi.
Ye Nanfeng, limping forward, bowed and reported, "To obtain cultivation resources, Wang Shu has murdered at least seven disciples of the Divine Sect, to my knowledge."
Ye Nanfeng provided detailed information, including the identities and names of the seven disciples, the locations of their murders, and the reasons behind them. It didn't seem like this had been fabricated under torture by Yang Qingxi.
"Wang Shu's other crime is using his status as the Divine Son to embezzle vast amounts of the Divine Sect's wealth. He often went on missions for this very purpose."
