Chapter 281: Cocoon Of Time
Li Weiyi took out a bottle of spring fluid and handed it to Tang Wanzhou.
“The process of expanding the inner world is extremely dangerous; you must not force it.”
“When you sense the limit of the world barrier, immediately inform me with mind power.”
“Cultivating the Sixth Sea and Seventh Sea essentially means opening up more vast space for the Dao Seed, accumulating richer magic energy.”
“It’s like planting a tree: the larger the vessel used and the more soil there is, the greater the space for it to grow, and the more promising its future.”
…
At this point, Tang Wanzhou pointed, and spatial energy erupted from her fingertip, invisible and colorless, yet the surrounding scenery twisted.
The Dao Lotus disappeared from her palm accordingly.
The next moment.
The Dao Lotus floated to the center of the inner world in the Feng Fu at the back of Li Weiyi’s head.
It spun rapidly, releasing magic energy quickly, turning into a storm vortex that propped up sections of the inner world.
Twenty-one thousand sections, twenty-two thousand sections, twenty-three thousand sections…
Tang Wanzhou poured out the spring fluid from the bottle, turning it into a small stream that flew around her finger, entering Li Weiyi’s Feng Fu from the center of the spatial ripples.
As the world barrier expanded, the spring fluid continuously merged into it.
Twenty-six thousand sections, twenty-seven thousand sections…
Tang Wanzhou observed Li Weiyi’s complexion, worried he was forcing himself.
She found his expression unchanged, his breathing steady and even, magic energy circulating endlessly through the veins and string pulse.
In just a moment, all the magic energy in the Dao Lotus overflowed, restoring calm.
It was taken out of the Feng Fu by Tang Wanzhou.
Even with her steady state of mind, she couldn’t help but secretly marvel.
Li Weiyi’s Feng Fu had already reached just over thirty thousand sections, three times that of ordinary successors.
“No wonder he could fight Luan Sheng Lin You against the odds; he’s indeed no simple man.” Tang Wanzhou strongly suspected his Fifth Sea had already broken ten thousand sections.
She didn’t probe, respecting his secrets.
Li Weiyi took out the Dao Fruit he had previously used only ten thousand sections of and handed it to Tang Wanzhou, smiling: “Young Lord, help me one more time—let’s push through and fully complete the opening of my Feng Fu!”
He had already polished it at twenty thousand sections for several months and wasn’t afraid of the instability from the inner world’s rapid expansion.
Tang Wanzhou, with her proud state of mind that overlooked ancient and modern martial cultivators, felt for the first time the sentiment of “there are heavens beyond heavens, mountains beyond mountains.” She took the Dao Fruit, gave another reminder, then used spatial power to send it into Li Weiyi’s Feng Fu.
This time, not only was Tang Wanzhou much more cautious.
Li Weiyi also focused his mind power and spirit entirely on the Feng Fu, not daring to be the least bit careless. He had already sensed the limit of the Feng Fu’s world barrier approaching step by step.
Even after reaching Dao Seed Realm, the Feng Fu could still expand further; there was no need to force it at Five Seas Realm.
In the end, his Feng Fu expanded to thirty-six thousand sections.
Tang Wanzhou retrieved the Dao Fruit, placed it in the box, and immediately sealed it: “The magic energy inside this Dao Fruit has about thirty thousand sections left.”
Li Weiyi sat in meditation to regulate his breathing; the new sixteen thousand sections of foreign magic energy in the Feng Fu gradually calmed, merging with the original twenty thousand sections of magic energy into one, with rejection greatly reduced.
He stood up and clasped his fists in thanks again.
Tang Wanzhou placed her hands behind her back and looked at the map on the table, pondering for a moment: “How about you lend me the strange insect? You don’t need to go down!”
Li Weiyi asked: “Is this trip very dangerous?”
Tang Wanzhou said: “Exactly! Your talent is outstanding, but your current cultivation is too low. Everyone on this trip is much older than you. To tell you the truth, I can’t guarantee your safety one hundred percent. With your Feng Fu foundation of thirty-six thousand sections, if you fall below, the people of Jiu Li Hidden Sect might come to fight me desperately.”
While Li Weiyi was seriously considering.
Tang Wanzhou added: “Even if Zu Tian is damaged and ruined, unable to seed Dao. With a Feng Fu of thirty-six thousand, it’s still broader than most successors’ Zu Tian. Seeding Dao with such a Feng Fu, the threshold of Longevity Realm won’t stop you.”
“Those martial cultivators who seed Dao in Feng Fu fail to reach Longevity Realm because their Feng Fu growth potential is too small, which constrains the Dao Seed’s growth.”
“Take an example!”
“Dao is a tree. Dao Seed is the tree’s seed.”
“How tall the tree can grow—the primary factor is definitely the seed.”
“But the amount of soil and the size of the growth space are equally important.”
“The size of the Feng Fu is the tree’s growth space. The magic energy in the Feng Fu is the soil.”
“Martial cultivators forced to seed Dao in Feng Fu can expand their Feng Fu to three or four thousand sections at most in Five Seas Realm! No matter how much they expand in Dao Seed Realm, it’s still a tree in an indoor pot—it can’t grow big.”
“That’s the essential difference between you and them!”
After she finished speaking, Li Weiyi said: “I just thought it over carefully. Even if I don’t go with you, with my personality, I’d end up charging in alone. Going with you might actually be safer, and the possibility of finding Spirit Platform Blazing Star Stone and thousand year elixir is greater.”
Tang Wanzhou laughed: “I was waiting for those words! In the outer areas of the underground immortal mansion, you won’t find Spirit Platform Blazing Star Stone or thousand year elixir—they’ve been swept countless times by others. The place I’m going is deeper, where no one has ever reached.”
“As for danger…”
“In this world, anything with high returns related to one’s cultivation path can’t be fully prepared for. What you can fully prepare for won’t be a big deal and won’t yield big results.”
Seeing in Tang Wanzhou the same adventurous spirit and vigorous fighting spirit full of passion as himself, Li Weiyi smiled: “Please, Young Lord, help keep the secret!”
“Go!”
Tang Wanzhou issued the order to leave.
…
Back at his residence, Li Weiyi took a bottle of life spirit spring, sat in meditation to heal for a moment, but his mind couldn’t calm down.
He considered whether to leave the tent and meet with several Law Kings of the Earth Wolf King Army. But thinking of the many veteran masters gathered in the Qifeng Ancient County City area, plus the lurking demon race and evil cult members eyeing him covetously.
He had to give up.
His finger touched the Dao Ancestor Tai Chi Fish at his neck, his mood slightly excited—he could finally start testing.
He didn’t dare activate it in the room, worried that abnormal fluctuations would be sensed by Snow Sword Tang Court’s masters.
He released the Seven Little Ones from the insect bag.
After the battle with Long Ting, their spirits were quite listless.
He took out the last bottle of life spirit spring and fed it to them.
Currently, Li Weiyi’s thousand year elixirs were all used up. Xihe Flower couldn’t be taken continuously, so he fed them century precious medicine first, at least to fill their stomachs.
He instructed them to guard the room.
After setting up properly in the room, Li Weiyi entered the blood mud space of Shaoyang Star.
The blood mud land before his eyes had expanded again, reaching about one hectare, and his field of vision finally opened up.
“Reaching the spirit mind master level, the blood mud space has grown substantially.”
Li Weiyi looked at the Dao Ancestor Tai Chi Fish at his neck.
The pale green fish eye indeed showed flickering signs, as Zen Sea Observing Mist had said.
No longer hesitating, he leaped onto the jade boat, sat cross-legged in meditation, mobilized the spiritual light in the spirit realm in the brow, turning it into a stream of light that surged toward the remaining fish eye.
It continuously absorbed the mind power light stream.
The radiance from the pale green fish eye grew brighter and brighter.
“What’s going on? Half the spiritual light has surged out, but why is it just flickering without other changes?”
Li Weiyi’s mind power star was only mung bean-sized; as spiritual light continuously surged out, the star rapidly shrank and dimmed. Continuing would risk falling in realm.
After all, he had only just condensed the mind power star, and the realm wasn’t stable yet.
Li Weiyi was about to stop the test.
“Crash…”
The Dao Ancestor Tai Chi Fish slowly began to rotate.
“Never mind, since there’s a change, let’s go all out.”
Li Weiyi continued mobilizing spiritual light; light particles completely enveloped the Dao Ancestor Tai Chi Fish, continuously disappearing into the pale green fish eye.
When the yin-yang fish completed one rotation…
The Dao Ancestor Tai Chi Fish automatically floated up, hovering above Li Weiyi’s head.
“Whoosh!”
From the pale green fish eye flew dense pale green light threads, forming a circular cocoon about a zhang in diameter, wrapping Li Weiyi.
Li Weiyi’s heart raced; he abruptly stood up and carefully observed and sensed.
The pale green cocoon threads were very faint, allowing him to see the outside scenery, like mist or gauze, thousands of threads isolating him from the outside world.
His finger touched it.
The cocoon body gently shook, rippling, extremely spiritual.
“What exactly is this? Wasn’t it said the pale green fish eye might involve time power?” Li Weiyi was very puzzled and wanted to jump out of the light cocoon.
But activating it once consumed huge mind power; he didn’t rashly do so.
“Time Cocoon!”
A ethereal pleasant voice came from an unknown place, like from the depths of spacetime.
Somewhat like the guardian wife’s voice from the gourd?
Li Weiyi’s eyes darted around, searching everywhere, but found no trace of her, and quickly asked: “Is that you? You’ve finally woken up? What is the time cocoon?”
“Time Silkworm feeds on the lifespan of ten thousand spirits, weaves the time cocoon to evade cosmic laws.”
“Your time cocoon’s threads are woven from mind power. The stronger the mind power, the more stable and profound the cocoon.”
The voice gradually faded, growing weaker.
Li Weiyi hurriedly asked: “What exactly does the time cocoon do? How should I use it? How is it profound?”
“This is just the initial stage; the profundity hasn’t appeared yet… I’m waiting for you in the future… I seem to have come too early… This is the era before the bronze ship arrives… You must hurry to Time Universe Market to purchase time intelligence…”
Her voice was chaotic, illogical, and gradually disappeared.
Li Weiyi was baffled and puzzled, asking again: “Can you explain more clearly? Who exactly are you? Are you that bride in wedding dress hidden in my blood?”
No response.
He asked a few more times, even cutting his wrist to release blood, but still couldn’t summon her.
Li Weiyi quickly stopped the bleeding and then thought deeply.
It wasn’t entirely fruitless.
There were at least two useful pieces of information.
First, the pale green fish eye was indeed related to time.
Second, the stronger the mind power, the stronger the woven time cocoon.
As for the other disjointed words, Li Weiyi silently noted them down to ask Zen Sea Observing Mist and his three masters in the future. Beings who had lived a thousand years, even several millennia, surely knew more than him.
Li Weiyi tried to retract the pale green cocoon threads into the spirit realm in the brow, but failed.
Then, he took a Star Day Pill and used the Fusang Divine Tree meditation method, preparing to first recover his severely depleted mind power.
After reaching spirit mind master level, his absorption speed of the Star Day Pill was three times faster than before. Even absorbing the Fusang Divine Tree radiance from Tanggu Sea became much more domineering.
On the sea surface, a large area dimmed.
The radiance was pulled into the blood mud space as if devoured.
The one-hectare blood mud space became extremely bright, the light turning into condensed light rain.
If Li Weiyi opened his eyes now and observed Tanggu Sea outside the time cocoon, he would find the waves on the sea surface rising and falling extremely slowly, completely different from usual.
He didn’t know how much time passed.
Great Phoenix’s mind power voice transmitted into the blood mud space.
