Chapter 135: Descending The Mountain
Jar Master said: “Internal Magic Power, Magic Power Leaving the Body to Form Qi.”
“From Open Four Springs, Magic Power can preliminarily leave the body, and with each realm advancement, the tier of Magic Energy keeps improving.”
“Yongquan Qi sixth order, Five Seas Qi sixth order.”
“You are quite special, having cultivated the Tenth Spring. At the Tenth Spring, the tier of Magic Energy is already comparable to First Tier Qi of the Five Seas.”
Li Weiyi asked: “What about now, equivalent to Second-Tier Qi of the Five Seas?”
“Five Seas Qi sixth order, first order illusory, second order substantial, third order and fourth order multiplied by ten. Fifth order in Feng Fu, sixth order in Zu Tian, success or failure all depends on money.”
Jar Master continued: “Can you now condense substantial attack power with Magic Energy? For example, spitting out a Flying Sword from the mouth, or raising a hand to form a wall? That is Second-Tier Qi that Five Seas Realm Second Realm martial cultivators can quench!”
Li Weiyi tried a bit and shook his head: “Not yet.”
“Slowly precipitate it. With your current cultivation, you can start contacting the Codex! Use the Refinement Method on the Codex to quench the Magic Energy in the Sea of Qi.”
Jar Master said: “I can teach you《Night Emperor Register》. The Night Emperor was an illustrious Ancient Heavenly Emperor in history. This Codex has unique aspects in the Qi Tempering Art for the Five Seas Realm.”
《Night Emperor Register》 is the ancestral Codex of Jar Master, and also his strongest Cultivation Method.
“Actually, you could also consider cultivating the Jiu Li tribe’s《Heavenly Demon Register》.” Coffin Master said.
Jar Master said: “Old Coffin, you yourself said that the Jiu Li tribe’s cultivation Codex is partially damaged, with content after the Longevity Realm incomplete. If you let him cultivate《Heavenly Demon Register》, what then?”
Coffin Master said: “It’s just a Qi Tempering Art, the influence isn’t great. In the Five Seas Realm, I think the Qi Tempering Art of《Heavenly Demon Register》 is somewhat superior to《Night Emperor Register》. It won’t be too late to cultivate《Night Emperor Register》 upon reaching the Dao Seed Realm.”
“Fine, fine, let’s first cultivate the Qi Tempering Art of《Heavenly Demon Register》. It’s hard to say what level the Jiu Li God is at, but his eldest son Cang Wang four thousand years ago was infinitely close to an Ancient Heavenly Emperor. On this land of Lingxiao Life Realm, among humans, in the past ten thousand years, only that freakish woman Zen Sea Observing Mist could suppress him, truly becoming the Son of Heaven of the era.” Jar Master said.
Li Weiyi continued to ask: “First order illusory, second order substantial, I can understand. Third order and fourth order multiplied by ten—does that mean upon stepping into the Five Seas Realm Third Realm, the condensation level of Magic Energy is ten times that of Second Realm martial cultivators?”
Jar Master said: “The Third Realm is indeed a major watershed, but it’s not exaggerated.”
“Understand Five Seas Second-Tier Qi as one. Then once breaking through to the Five Seas Realm Third Realm, the purity of Magic Energy will instantly reach double.”
“Five Seas Realm Third Realm martial cultivators, quenching Magic Energy to completion, is roughly three times purity.”
“Initially breaking through to the Five Seas Realm Fourth Realm, is four times…”
“And so on, martial cultivators of the Five Seas Realm Fifth Realm can almost all quench Magic Energy to ten times. This constant quenching process is the third and fourth orders of Magic Energy.”
A difference of one times in Magic Energy purity is a world of difference, enough to crush opponents in battle.
Five Seas Realm Second Realm and Five Seas Realm Fifth Realm actually differ by ten times. Moreover, there are fifth and sixth orders, so the gap must be even larger.
Li Weiyi’s expression turned solemn: “I see, after entering the Five Seas Realm, continuing to maintain at least two realm advantages will be much more difficult. Especially against those Pure Immortal Bodies and Nine Springs Supreme Persons, suppressing them by two realms is simply as hard as ascending to heaven.”
Jar Master fell silent, then reminded: “After stepping into the Five Seas Realm, remember to cultivate Battle Intent. From your Chan Sect Twelve Loose Hands, pick one move you like the most, or the one with the greatest power, integrate essence, qi, and spirit, and you should be able to cultivate a Battle Intent.”
“Jar Master speaks reason, Battle Intent might be the breakthrough.” Li Weiyi’s fighting spirit surged again, excitedly saying: “My Sea of Qi is larger than theirs, Magic Energy thicker, so it should support several Battle Intents.”
“Cultivate one first! For Battle Intent, it’s best to refine one meticulously, constantly cultivate it—greed for more may not be good.”
Jar Master said no more.
Next, Coffin Master taught the Qi Tempering Art of《Heavenly Demon Register》.
……
Yin Twenty-Three returned and reported to Li Weiyi: “As instructed, I placed the two of them by the river below the mountain, then hid far away until they woke up before leaving. They should have returned to the camp below the mountain by now.”
“Zuo Qiu Gatehouse is powerful, Zuo Qiu Ting is a leader-like figure among the younger generation—better not to offend if possible.”
Li Weiyi asked: “Yin Twenty-Three, you are a Nine Springs Supreme Person, right? How big is your first Sea of Qi?”
“Three sides.” Yin Twenty-Three said.
Li Weiyi said: “Only three sides? I heard some can cultivate four sides, five sides.”
“That requires Hundred Veins All Silver figures, and in the entire Southern Territory, there are only a handful.” Yin Twenty-Three said.
Li Weiyi asked: “Have you tempered your Magic Energy to the level of condensing substantial with a thought?”
“Second-Tier Qi?”
Yin Twenty-Three smiled awkwardly: “Even Five Seas Realm Second Realm martial cultivators need several months, even one or two years, to quench Second-Tier Qi.”
“Can you cross realms to slay enemies? I mean kill, not just hold your own.” Li Weiyi asked.
“I’ll go reconnoiter too! What if the martial cultivators of the Four Great Sects sense danger and split up?”
Yin Twenty-Three quickly left, disappearing in the forest.
Li Weiyi had a judgment in his heart, muttering to himself: “Nine Springs Supreme Persons who are not Pure Immortal Bodies seem to only dominate at the same realm in combat power, crossing realms to slay enemies is probably hard. Picking soft persimmons, perhaps can fight evenly.”
……
One day later.
Xue Qi held a saber in one hand and a banner in the other, fleeing desperately through the forest at top speed, terrified out of his wits, unable to attend to the Sui Sect martial cultivators behind him.
“Who exactly are they, how did so many formidable figures suddenly appear? Were Chen Song and Di Ran also killed by them?”
His mind raced, his figure like a residual shadow diving toward the base of the mountain, even jumping straight down when encountering cliffs.
He could already hear the roaring river water from below the mountain, overjoyed in his heart—as long as he reached below, the opponents absolutely wouldn’t dare continue pursuing.
Suddenly.
“Splash—”
A flame saber light several zhang long, like a scorching crimson red giant wave, surged toward his face.
The surrounding trees were instantly ignited.
Xue Qi was the most talented of the Xue Family’s younger generation, able to exchange a few moves with Five Seas Realm Third Realm, his combat power naturally extraordinary. The war saber in his hand swung out almost instinctively.
“Boom!”
The opposing flame saber light, even after flying far in mid-air, still blasted him flying backward with devastating force.
Xue Qi’s body heavily crashed to the ground, his back slamming into a gentle slope, his saber-gripping hand full of blood, his five fingers in so much pain they nearly lost sensation.
“Stop running! The fox demon of Tian Ya Ridge has been executed, next is you.”
A flat and clear voice came from the branches and leaves of the trees ahead.
“Thud!”
The headless corpse of the fox demon was thrown down, smashing heavily beside him.
Xue Qi could hardly stay calm—this fox demon was a top-tier master in Five Seas Realm Second Realm, they had just separated to breakout in two directions. How strong exactly was the enemy to slay it so quickly?
Soon, he spotted the other’s figure.
That person wore a Rune Robe, standing on a tree branch dozens of meters off the ground at the cliff edge, holding the Sky Flame Saber, standing tall and heroic, extraordinary. Like a specter, yet full of a strong practitioner’s might.
Xue Qi stood up, shocked in his heart: “You didn’t wear Departed Spirit Human Skin, you are Five Seas Realm First Realm cultivation?”
“Finally, someone got my realm right!”
Li Weiyi sighed inwardly, hiding the hand holding the Sky Flame Saber behind his back, his figure swaying, blurring, then vanishing from the tree branch.
“Not good!”
Xue Qi immediately mobilized Magic Energy, injecting it into the white Yin Banner.
Li Weiyi ignored the white Yin Banner in his hand, his figure and hand seal descending from the sky.
A grinding mill-sized square Sky-Flipping Divine Seal condensed, with coiling dragons on the seal body, even more solid than when cast before breakthrough, emanating faint golden Light Marks.
The Divine Seal filled Xue Qi’s vision.
“Boom!”
The white Yin Banner broke into three segments, the Divine Seal’s light shadow smashing Xue Qi into Blood Mud, even the ground abruptly caving in.
Floating lightly into the huge seal pit, Li Weiyi first collected that war saber, then continued searching.
In the Blood Mud, he found the Boundary Bag.
Li Weiyi injected Magic Energy to open it, his heart instantly brimming with joy. Inside not only was there Dyeing Cloud Exotic Medicine, but surprisingly also one jin of Immortal Soil.
Yin Twenty-Four and Yin Twenty-Three only caught up one after the other at this moment, seeing the fox demon’s corpse and Xue Qi’s horrific corpse, stunned on the spot.
They knew Li Weiyi was strong, but this combat power was too disruptive to their cognition.
Xue Qi and that fox demon were both top experts of Five Seas Realm Second Realm—how could they die so fast?
“Cleaned up?” Li Weiyi asked.
“We’ll do it now.”
The two quickly returned to the forest.
Li Weiyi instructed: “Remember, only target Tian Ya Ridge and the Four Great Sects these enemy forces. Don’t be too greedy, let go of martial cultivators from other forces entirely.”
……
After descending the mountain from another direction.
Giving three stalks of Dyeing Cloud Exotic Medicine each to Yin Twenty-Four and Yin Twenty-Three, Li Weiyi put all remaining various spoils of war into five Boundary Bags, packing them away himself.
“After taking the benefits, you two must keep your mouths shut about what happened in the mountain, don’t tell Hidden Lord later.” Li Weiyi said.
Yin Twenty-Four was naturally unconvinced in his heart, but had to submit, sneering: “Four Great Sects, Coffin Mountain, Tian Ya Ridge all wiped out in one go—such a big event will soon cause a stir, with benefits so huge, can you handle it? Do you think Hidden Lord won’t know it was us?”
Li Weiyi turned back for a glance.
The Immortal Mist of Thirty-three Mile Mountain was receding from the foot toward the mountain peak, the mountain’s form so grand and magnificent.
That Sea of Bones plain and Blood Moon lake, exactly in the mountain?
Could one mountain contain them?
He said: “The mountain is extremely perilous with myriad powers, anything can happen. As long as we flatly deny it, who can prove it was us? I’ve told you many times, I am the God Hidden Person of this Jia Zi—obey my commands and arrangements, and I certainly won’t mistreat you.”
“Yin Twenty-Three, lead the way!”
