Chapter 118: Ten Springs Open, Mysteries Of The Divine Aperture
Outside the Jiu Li Tribe Camp, all Spring Gushing Realm Martial Cultivators had come out, attracted by the Immortal Radiance on that person in the distance, with respect, envy, and admiration.
Over the past half month, “Sima Tan” either meditated, practiced martial arts, or swallowed Radiant Flame Pills. The Immortal Radiance from the direction of Zangxian Town gathered toward him from time to time, visible to the naked eye, mystical and profound.
This was a true eccentric!
Even those elders from Jiu Li Dao Academy, despite their high cultivation, fundamentally lacked the mysterious charm on “Sima Tan” that could shatter cognition.
Yin Twenty-Five gazed from afar and whispered, “The aura on his body is getting stronger and stronger. Is this a sign of an imminent breakthrough to Five Seas Realm?”
“Breaking through to Five Seas Realm here? In this region, once he breaks through, his body will likely self-ignite. He should understand this.” Yao Yin showed a worried expression.
Yin Twenty-Five said, “He can even absorb Immortal Radiance, his body seems fused as one with the entire world. He cannot be gauged by common sense.”
Yang Yun’s vitality was very tenacious. With his four limbs broken, he had endured multiple beatings over the past half month and could only eat small amounts of food every two or three days, yet he was still alive. He looked at the Immortal Radiance rippling outward in circles from Li Weiyi, who was meditating in the distance, and felt despair, tears sliding from the corners of his eyes, feeling that revenge was hopeless in this lifetime.
Such extraordinariness could only be compared to the legends of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor in his youth.
……
Over the past half month, Li Weiyi had almost completely used up the dozens of Broken Spring Needles on his body.
The Inner World below the Shenque Acupoint was completely filled with Immortal Radiance, and a gap had opened in the heaven-human barrier. Immortal Radiance escaped from that gap, entered his flesh and organs, and finally dispersed from his pores.
“Clearly a gap has already opened, so why hasn’t the Spring Eye appeared yet?”
“If that’s the case, then Combine Springs Break the Wall.”
In Martial Cultivation, Li Weiyi always charged straight ahead courageously, exhausting everything to climb higher.
He maintained the Breathing Technique state, activating all nine Spring Eyes in his body: soles of the feet, palms, Core, Danzhong, Baihui, Feng Fu, Zu Tian. The nine Spring Eyes all erupted with Magic Power, entering the one hundred and eight Veins.
Over this half month, he had not only been absorbing Immortal Radiance to impact the Tenth Spring.
He had also absorbed the light of Immortal Radiance to temper the Veins.
The number of Gold Veins in his body had reached sixty-two, with the remaining forty-six all being Silver Veins.
The Magic Power running through all the Veins quickly converged toward the Shenque Acupoint.
“Boom!”
Each convergence caused Immortal Radiance Magic Energy ripples to erupt from Li Weiyi’s body, spreading to the surroundings.
The impact of Combine Springs Break the Wall reached sixty-two times, and only then did a palpitation finally appear in the Spring Eye within the Inner World below the Shenque Acupoint. Like a heartbeat, it grew increasingly rapid, as if about to break out of its shell.
The sixty-third Combine Springs Break the Wall.
The Spring Eye in the Shenque Inner World finally broke through everything, and the barrier completely vanished. Powerful Magic Energy, like tidal waves, fused together with Immortal Radiance and surged outward fiercely.
“Sand sand!”
One li away, all the Martial Cultivators in the Jiu Li Tribe Camp felt the gust of energy blowing from that direction.
Yao Yin’s long hair swayed, and her expression changed abruptly: “The purity and tier of this Magic Power is absolutely at the Five Seas Realm level. He really broke through?”
Yin Twenty-Five said, “Don’t worry! If something goes wrong, he will definitely rush into the Qi Barrier ahead at the first moment and enter the Immortal Realm Space.”
The scene ahead was too dazzling. Li Weiyi was entirely wrapped in dense Immortal Radiance, as if sitting on a sea of clouds.
At this moment, he was plunged into shock and bewilderment.
The Inner World of the Shenque was completely different from Zu Tian, and also different from the Sea of Qi described by Five Seas Realm Martial Cultivators. It appeared very chaotic, not the size of one or two worlds, but like having no boundaries.
The boundaries were shrouded in Immortal Radiance, and outside the Immortal Radiance was a profound darkness capable of devouring everything.
Even more inconceivable was that the Magic Power surging from this Tenth Spring was actually liquid.
It must be known that even Five Seas Realm Martial Cultivators had no concept of condensing liquid Magic Power.
Only Dao Seed Realm Martial Cultivators could condense a small amount of Spring Fluid in the Spring Eye. Moreover, it was something Martial Cultivators consciously and actively did, not the Spring Eye automatically erupting it.
The liquid Magic Power surging from Li Weiyi’s Shenque naturally could not compare to the Spring Fluid of Dao Seed Realm Martial Cultivators, but it was already sufficiently inconceivable.
“Splash!”
From the Spring Eye, the first Vein extended out like rapidly growing vines, directly a Gold Vein.
This Gold Vein did not extend far before dispersing to form countless tiny branches that wrapped around the heart.
The heartbeat thundered, becoming even stronger and more powerful.
“Splash!”
The second Gold Vein extended out, wrapping toward the Lung Leaves.
The five Lung Leaves were like five lush Divine Trees, breathing becoming even easier and more natural.
“Splash!”
The third Gold Vein rushed out of the Spring Eye, splitting into two and surging toward the kidneys.
……
The first eleven Veins surged toward the five viscera and six bowels respectively.
The twelfth Vein ran along the spine, passing through Core and Feng Fu, straight to the top of the head Baihui.
The number of Veins in Li Weiyi’s body reached one hundred and twenty, and the golden glow on his body could not be suppressed, continuously diffusing outward and fusing with Immortal Radiance and Magic Energy.
Another half day passed, fully integrating and completely mastering the newly added power in his body, before the golden glow, Immortal Radiance, and Magic Energy were retracted into his body through breathing.
His entire person recovered to a natural and peaceful state.
Li Weiyi did not make a single push to directly impact Five Seas Realm. He planned to first temper the remaining forty-six Silver Veins in his body into Gold Veins.
If every Gold Vein was a Dragon Vein, cultivating one hundred and twenty Dragon Veins would make his Foundation truly solid on the path of future cultivation.
Yin Twenty-Five and Yao Yin hurried over.
“Broken through?” Yin Twenty-Five asked.
Li Weiyi opened his eyes. The entire world became incomparably clear, his mood joyful. He smiled and nodded, then quickly put on his clothes.
Yao Yin thought Li Weiyi had broken through to Five Seas Realm and was very nervous: “Did you feel the Magic Energy in your body becoming scorching hot as if it wanted to burn?”
“It’s fine, no such feeling for now.”
Li Weiyi stood up, stretched lazily, and looked curiously at the group of Jiu Li Tribe Martial Cultivators watching from the distance: “Isn’t everyone gathering herbs? Why has everyone returned to the camp?”
Yin Twenty-Five said, “You were fully focused on impacting Five Seas Realm, so we didn’t dare disturb you. About seven or eight days ago, the Immortal Realm Space on the other side of the Qi Barrier on the Spring Gushing Realm path was sealed by Five Seas Realm Martial Cultivators from Tian Ya Ridge and the Four Great Sects. Once Jiu Li Tribe Martial Cultivators enter, they will be slain. Already more than ten young Martial Cultivators have died at their hands, including me who barely escaped back.”
“Seven or eight days, that long? I thought only two or three days had passed.” Li Weiyi said.
Yin Twenty-Five said, “The time you spent impacting the realm was more than seven or eight days—probably double that.”
Li Weiyi showed shock, then thought of something: “Hasn’t the Mang Mountain Grand Sacrifice long ended? What’s the situation on the Five Seas Realm Boundary side?”
Yao Yin said, “The situation is very bad! We successively dispatched three suicide squads, total eight people, all Seven Springs Martial Cultivators, who left the Five Seas Realm Boundary and headed back to Yaoguan City. But all vanished without a trace, no news at all.”
Li Weiyi’s brows furrowed tightly. From the Five Seas Realm Boundary to the rendezvous point with the nine Leaders, it was over a hundred li.
Even if the Four Great Sects only dispatched one Five Seas Realm Expert, they could completely cut off the road.
Li Weiyi said, “No Five Seas Realm Martial Cultivators from the Jiu Li Tribe have appeared on either side?”
Yin Twenty-Five nodded: “That’s the most worrying thing. If the Jiu Li Tribe’s Five Seas Realm Cultivators have already been completely wiped out, we can only wait to die here! Entering the Immortal Realm Space is death, going to the Five Seas Realm Boundary is also death.”
“How much food is left?” Li Weiyi said.
The Mang Mountain Grand Sacrifice was originally planned for nine days, but now about twenty days had passed.
Yin Twenty-Five said, “The young Martial Cultivators participating in the Mang Mountain Grand Sacrifice have lost a third. Plus the food scavenged from enemy corpses, we can last another three to five days without issue.”
“We can kill the mounts, that should hold out longer.”
Li Weiyi looked at Yao Yin and saw her hesitating to speak, so he asked, “What do you want to say?”
Yao Yin clenched her fingers tightly, nails digging into her palm. After struggling for a long time, she said, “Yin Twenty-Five didn’t tell the whole truth. The Jiu Li Tribe Martial Cultivators who died at the hands of Tian Ya Ridge and Four Great Sects Five Seas Realm Experts number more than ten, but at the very beginning, these Martial Cultivators were all captured alive. They want to force you out, so they issued a threat: if you don’t show yourself for a day, they kill two people each day. Even now, there are still five or six hostages in their hands.”
“Boom!”
Li Weiyi flared with anger from his heart, his gaze suddenly darkening as he asked, “Why didn’t you say so earlier?”
Yin Twenty-Five said, “In the battle half a month ago, not all Spring Gushing Realm cultivators fled to the Five Seas Realm Boundary; a few escaped into the Immortal Realm Space. It was they who spread the news of your killing spree to the ears of the Major Powers—Wang Daozhen may have contributed as well.”
“In any case, whether they want revenge or to slay you in the cradle, they will resort to any means.”
“They are too powerful and numerous. If you go out, you will definitely die.”
“What can we do? We can’t let you, someone not from the Jiu Li Tribe, be put in a dilemma—either go out and be killed, or suffer inner torment and guilt. You’ve already done enough, so after we two discussed, we decided to keep it hidden for now.”
“We’ll be the bad guys, bear the inner torment and guilt. You just focus on breaking through.”
Li Weiyi gradually returned to calm from his rage, his gaze looking toward the Qi Barrier ahead.
Yao Yin worriedly said, “Don’t feel burdened. This matter itself exceeds the scope we can resolve with our cultivation. It’s something for the Jiu Li Tribe’s Five Seas Realm to handle. That battlefield doesn’t belong to us and has nothing to do with you. The reason I told you is that I don’t want to hide it from you or deceive you.”
“You’re right! If you two hadn’t told me today, it would mean you completely disregard me as a Hidden Person.” Li Weiyi stood tall, a sharp killing intent hidden beneath his calm exterior.
Yin Twenty-Five said, “From the first day they were captured alive, we’ve been waiting for Jiu Li Tribe Five Seas Realm Martial Cultivators or Hidden Sect Hidden Persons to arrive, but they’ve never come.”
Li Weiyi looked toward the distant Jiu Li Tribe Camp, his gaze sweeping over one young figure after another: “This place has essentially become an isolated island—seemingly safe, but actually already trapped to death. I’ll go out to scout. We have to find a way out.”
If worst came to worst, he still had his final method.
“I’ll go with you.” Yao Yin said.
Li Weiyi shook his head: “I have High-grade Magic Tool Night-walking Clothes, which allow invisibility. Do you? You need to stay behind to hold the fort. I’m not reassured about Yin Twenty-Five’s strength.”
Yin Twenty-Five’s mouth twitched, and he asked, “Which way are you going? Back to Yaoguan City?”
Li Weiyi said: “Going back to Yaoguan City is undoubtedly a dead end. After so long, wouldn’t the nine Leaders know something happened in Zangxian Town? Under those circumstances, yet unable to open the road—what does that mean? The outside might have already changed hands, with war breaking out everywhere.”
Yin Twenty-Five and Yao Yin’s expressions changed greatly. Li Weiyi’s analysis might be too extreme, too pessimistic, but it wasn’t impossible.
