Chapter 314: News Of Elder Xu
Half a day later.
Li Weiyi arrived at the main great hall of the Southern Clear Palace.
Tuo Ba Bu Tuo was meditating and cultivating in the hall, his cultivation already reaching Dao Seed Realm Third Heaven, with magic energy swirling around him like coiling dragons swimming about.
Wang Shu had only absorbed part of the scriptures from the dragon seed and couldn’t take the dragon seed itself, so Tuo Ba Bu Tuo and Qi Xiao’s cultivation progress remained extremely fast.
Tuo Ba Bu Tuo withdrew his magic energy and opened his eyes to look at Li Weiyi.
Li Weiyi made a shushing gesture toward him.
Then his figure shook, flesh and bones shifted, skin turned silver in hue, and in an instant he transformed into Tuo Ba Bu Tuo’s Silver Pure Immortal Body appearance, even his spirit and demeanor completely renewed.
Tuo Ba Bu Tuo was stunned.
The Spirit Tablet Master had once said that once Li Weiyi reached Dao Seed Realm, the Disguise Art could truly pass for the real thing and become an extraordinary technique. Even Longevity Realm Martial Cultivators might be fooled if they didn’t scrutinize carefully.
Thus, once he reached Dao Seed Realm, he could go anywhere under heaven without worrying about the dangers of identity exposure.
Li Weiyi walked up to Qi Xiao guarding the palace gate and asked in Tuo Ba Bu Tuo’s tone, “My mouth’s been bland lately. Shall we go to the market town and get some food?”
Qi Xiao didn’t notice anything amiss and said prudently, “Better wait until Brother Weiyi comes out of seclusion! Others we don’t need to fear, but Sikong Jingyuan and Sikong Yanlun have masters under them like clouds, and they’ve always opposed us, calling us turtles hiding in our shells, provoking us in all sorts of ways. We’ve endured it for so long; if we’re ambushed, it’s not worth it.”
Li Weiyi said, “Haven’t you broken through to Dao Seed Realm Second Heaven? What are you afraid of them for?”
Qi Xiao rolled his eyes at him. “You think everyone’s like you, a successor? You’re at Dao Seed Realm Third Heaven and can even escape from Fourth Heaven masters. How can I compare to you?”
Li Weiyi said, “Do I look any different today?”
Qi Xiao sized him up and down for a moment, his expression changing. “Have you condensed a Dao Lotus and reached Fourth Heaven?”
“Haha!”
Li Weiyi and Tuo Ba Bu Tuo, who walked out from inside, both burst into laughter.
Tuo Ba Bu Tuo said, “Brother Weiyi, look at his face. He keeps calling us brothers, but if I really broke through to Fourth Heaven today, he’d be pissed for days.”
“If I hadn’t been imprisoned for a year and had my cultivation seriously delayed, would I lag behind you?”
Qi Xiao looked back at Li Weiyi, gazing intently with a shocked sigh. “This Disguise Art is incredible—no flaws at all, truly indistinguishable from the real thing. If used outside, it could unleash unimaginable power in struggles under heaven.”
Li Weiyi changed back and asked, “How about it? Have your arms fully recovered?”
“Pretty much! Even swinging with full force, the severed spots just ache slightly.”
“To fully recover, it’ll probably take years of nourishment.”
Tuo Ba Bu Tuo and Qi Xiao flexed their arms, smiles on their faces.
“Come on, let’s head to the Spirit Valley Hall first together.”
Li Weiyi strode forward and asked, “What classics did you study when you were at Dao Seed Realm First Heaven?”
Tuo Ba Bu Tuo and Qi Xiao naturally fell half a step behind.
Qi Xiao said in surprise, “Brother Weiyi has reached Dao Seed Realm?”
“Feng Fu Sowing Dao succeeded.”
Li Weiyi was in high spirits, his mood elevated.
But hearing this, the two behind him darkened in expression, feeling sorry for him.
Stronger than the Young Son of Heaven in the same realm, yet now forced onto a path destined to lead nowhere. Fortunately, his mind power talent was also exceptionally high; otherwise, he couldn’t have stayed as resilient as now.
If he reappeared in the outside world, just his mind power attainment alone would drop many jaws.
Tuo Ba Bu Tuo said, “In the Spirit Valley Hall’s Art Pavilion, the 《Dragon Canon》, 《Seven Transformations of the Flying Dragon》, and 《Dragon Scripture Full Explanation》 are all worth studying in detail.”
Qi Xiao scanned the surroundings and reminded, “Should we sneak cautiously? If those two so-called Fifth Divine Sons are at headquarters and hear the news, they’ll definitely come block us.”
Li Weiyi laughed. “We’ve hidden for nine months, and we’re not what we used to be—no need to keep hiding. If they really come to block me, if I can’t beat them, can’t I escape? Then, I’ll hold them off.”
“I’ll activate the Ghost Flag,” Tuo Ba Bu Tuo said.
“Makes sense! With Tuoba’s Third Heaven cultivation activating the Ghost Flag, the Yin Ghost Commander’s combat power can match one of them.”
Entering Dao Seed Realm, Li Weiyi’s confidence surged, high-spirited, his hidden trump cards finally able to unleash some of their true might.
“Greetings, Your Highness the Divine Son!”
“Welcome, Divine Son’s presence!”
……
Arriving at the Spirit Valley Hall, all inner disciples and core disciples stepped aside to bow, attitudes respectful, not daring to look directly and offend.
“This is the Southern Venerable’s senior disciple, the most prominent figure at the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival. Now, Luan Sheng Lin You, who summon wind and rain in Lingxiao Life Realm, see him as a great enemy.”
“It’s said he might be the Hall Master’s illegitimate son. The Hall Master drove even the Divine Son Chief Seat out of headquarters for him.”
“You dare say such things? Courting death!”
……
Amid the discussions, the three entered the Art Pavilion, each seeking ancient texts to study.
The reason Li Weiyi brought Tuo Ba Bu Tuo and Qi Xiao to the Spirit Valley Hall was precisely this.
They too needed to cultivate, but usually didn’t dare leave the Southern Clear Palace easily, fearing encounters with Sikong Jingyuan and Sikong Yanlun.
The Twin Rice Cult’s 《Dragon Canon》, 《Seven Transformations of the Flying Dragon》, and 《Dragon Scripture Full Explanation》 were all transcribed and imprinted transcendentally with mind power. Though differing from the originals, they were sufficient for Dao Seed Realm Martial Cultivators to comprehend.
These three codices, let alone at Dao Seed Realm First Heaven, would be greatly useful even after condensing Dao Fruit in the future—not something fully comprehensible in a short time.
Li Weiyi felt the 《Dragon Scripture Full Explanation》 most useful for himself; it was an extremely hefty codex with annotations of scriptures numbering in the hundreds of thousands, imprinted on a silver booklet weighing a hundred pounds.
He directly borrowed it.
At the first floor, Elder Xu handled the registration.
Li Weiyi asked quietly, “Old Xu, what about the person I asked you to keep an eye on? Is Yang Qingxi in the Goddess Mansion?”
After nine months of cultivation, Li Weiyi had spent enormously; almost all sellable treasures on him were sold out, even his merit points exhausted.
He needed to get some money to purchase Spirit Platform Blazing Star Stone fragments.
Though without Star Day Pills, with Li Weiyi’s cultivation speed, he had now reached the peak of three-star Spirit Mind Master. As long as he bought Spirit Platform Blazing Star Stone, he could break through rapidly.
The “Old Xu” address was insisted upon by Elder Xu.
Elder Xu registered while transmitting with magic energy, “She still goes out on expeditions once a month, to places all in the south side’s Truth Zen Forest. You came a step late; she left yesterday.”
Ever since killing Wang Shu, Yang Qingxi had never come to the Southern Clear Palace again.
The so-called sharing of the secret treasure vault……
A woman’s words naturally couldn’t be trusted even half a word.
Fortunately, Li Weiyi had long entrusted Elder Xu to watch her every move.
Though Wang Shu was dead, the departed spirit in Wang Zhi’s body had been absorbed by Yang Qingchan. That departed spirit contained one of Wang Shu’s soul spirits and might yield some clues.
Elder Xu said, “Her behavior is indeed strange.”
Li Weiyi asked, “How strange?”
Elder Xu said, “The Underground Immortal Mansion is vast, like a world thousands of miles across; headquarters occupies only a tiny part.”
“The undeveloped areas outside headquarters are divided into east, south, west, north, and below five directions. Below is very dangerous, so guarded by Ku Rong Hall.”
“But the south side is equally dangerous—Truth Zen Forest, Nether Flower Black Swamp, Buddha Head Blood Sea; those are perilous zones where many true disciples have fallen. Some places even make Longevity Realm and Rice Ancestor wary, so for a thousand years, the south side hasn’t been fully explored.”
“If they’d known earlier there was another Underground Immortal Mansion entrance in the far south, they’d have blocked it long ago, instead of the Divine Cult now only passively defending.”
Evidently, the southernmost part of the Underground Immortal Mansion was the entrance where Li Weiyi and Tang Wanzhou had entered, separated by dangerous zones like Truth Zen Forest, Nether Flower Black Swamp, and Buddha Head Blood Sea.
The dangers of Nether Spirit Plain couldn’t compare at all.
Elder Xu continued, “Truth Zen Forest has extreme danger level, lowest probability of finding resources and treasures, yet Yang Qingxi insists on probing there monthly—too unreasonable. Oh, and Sikong Yanlun seems to have her targeted too; he set off early this morning for Truth Zen Forest.”
Li Weiyi laughed. “Sikong Jingyuan didn’t go?”
“The Spirit Valley guard army brothers at the south side formation didn’t mention it.”
Elder Xu had a vast network at headquarters, brothers with many people.
After registering, Li Weiyi and Elder Xu went to the resource treasury, only to learn all Spirit Platform Blazing Star Stone fragments had been taken by the Hall Master.
That cold-tempered Elder Xu said, “The Hall Master has ordered that from now on, all Spirit Platform Blazing Star Stone fragments found by disciples be sent entirely to her; she has great use for them.”
Li Weiyi hadn’t expected the arrow he’d shot half a year ago to land on himself. “Can you leave me a few pieces? I don’t need many, four or five will do.”
“The Hall Master said all of them.” That Elder Xu showed no favoritism, tone cold and firm.
Li Weiyi and Elder Xu left, his heart without much ripple.
Because even if he could buy Spirit Platform Blazing Star Stone fragments now, he had no money or merit points.
He could only wait for An Xianjing’s next return to headquarters and ask her directly. After helping her so much, he couldn’t be polite with her.
Moreover, the golden rice was about to mature, so she and Yao Qingxuan would surely return soon.
Li Weiyi asked, “Old Xu, how many Spirit Platform Blazing Star Stone fragments do disciples find each year?”
“Hard to say exactly, but those brought to Spirit Valley Hall to exchange for merit points and resources number dozens at least. Even more taken to Heavenly Principle Hall for exchange, since the Spirit Mind Masters there are queuing up for them,” Elder Xu said.
Li Weiyi asked again, “Where’s the highest probability of finding them?”
“The south side’s Nether Flower Black Swamp! That was once a key battlefield of internal strife in the Ancient Bhakara Sect; the Flower of Meditation grown in the swamp is a supreme treasure for mind power cultivation. Many disciples go there to train and search, picking Flowers of Meditation to exchange for massive merit points. Spirit Platform Blazing Star Stone is just an extra treasure for the lucky ones.”
Elder Xu’s expression shifted in shock. “Your Highness the Divine Son isn’t about to break through to four-star Spirit Mind Master and go search personally?”
“Indeed such an idea.”
Li Weiyi smiled faintly, but actually just wanted a remote place to perform Divine Gate Sowing Dao. Finding some Spirit Platform Blazing Star Stone would naturally be better.
After all, with Er Feng’s help, expert at sensing treasure auras, his efficiency would surely exceed other Martial Cultivators.
What shocked Elder Xu was Li Weiyi’s cultivation speed—less than a year at headquarters, and now mind power about to break through consecutively?
What kind of heaven-defying genius was this?
“If going, must be prudent; outside headquarters is very dangerous, and greater dangers come from within. Though the Hall Master has strongly stated her stance, many forbidden zones are unmanned.”
Elder Xu was a tactful person, speaking just enough without overstepping; blocking would be breaking rules.
Li Weiyi, Qi Xiao, and Tuo Ba Bu Tuo exited the Spirit Valley Hall, asking their opinions.
The two immediately grew excited. “We’re desperately short of cultivation resources and have long wanted to go search. Otherwise, even if realms advance, our physical bodies remain major flaws.”
Li Weiyi decided. “I guess it won’t be long before news of my emergence spreads to some ears. No time like the present; let’s go now to avoid being tailed closely.”
……
Seeking monthly tickets……
