Chapter 325: All Things Staff Spear
Under the two-zhang-high stone gate, Yang Qingxi and Yang Qingchan, who were sitting in meditation, looked toward the depths of the cave mansion.
“Such a fast mind power improvement speed, he actually broke through just like that!” Yang Qingchan said.
“Mind power cultivation only divides into peak talent and mediocrity. With the aid of Spirit Platform Blazing Star Stone, his cultivation speed naturally surpasses even those with peak talent.”
Yang Qingxi said faintly, her heart without much fluctuation.
She was only one step away from the Dao Seed Realm Fourth Realm. Once she crossed it, it would be a brand new world, and her name would surely appear on the 《Jia Zi List》.
Yang Qingchan raised her arm and sensed carefully: “The temperature in the air is getting higher and higher. The Golden Crow Flame contained in his mind power spiritual light is even more terrifying than the first layer great technique by a few degrees, with power equivalent to the entry level of the second layer great technique.”
“This is where he truly surpasses other spirit mind masters!” Yang Qingxi said.
Tuoba Buto and Qi Xiao retreated from inside, unable to withstand the burning of the Golden Crow Flame near Li Weiyi’s body, feeling that inside it was already a sea of fire.
The six Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors were extremely excited, frolicking as they bathed in the Golden Crow Flame, dancing around the Fusang Divine Tree light shadow.
They regularly swallowed Xihe Flowers and were not afraid of fierce flames.
Li Weiyi’s spirit was restrained, only feeling that he had merged as one with the Fusang Divine Tree light shadow, his eyes grown on the branches and leaves, able to see the six little ones dancing lightly as they flew up.
“This must be the spirit god supernatural power of a four-star spirit mind master!”
The Fusang Divine Tree light shadow was the spirit god that Li Weiyi had cultivated.
Upon reaching four-star spirit mind master, Li Weiyi clearly felt that the Fusang Divine Tree light shadow had gained life and consciousness, and his consciousness could enter it.
Li Weiyi had a thought.
The branches of the Fusang Divine Tree swung out like long whips, with large amounts of fire rain scattering down.
In the spirit realm in the brow, four mind power stars were as large as golden cores, operating unceasingly like a star system. Circles of spiritual light spread out from his body, turning the cave into a sea of light.
Perception was further enhanced.
As if there were countless eyes and ears, able to enter the stone wall, penetrate the formation, perceive the subtle, with infinite wonders.
“Crash!”
Myriad spiritual light flames, like silk threads, flew back into the spirit realm in the brow.
The spirit realm was like a divine furnace, blazing hot; if it exploded, it could destroy a vast expanse of heaven and earth.
Li Weiyi’s upper body was only wearing the Blood Handprint Demonic Armor, his arms exposed, long hair disheveled, body skin restored to normal state, unlike earlier when it was illuminated like a pure immortal body.
A rusty long spear, spearhead pointing down, was inserted into the ground in front of him.
At the spear tail, it was no longer an irregular hollow tube shape, but replaced by the doll-like earth spirit cub.
It was the one that the five Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors had caught from underwater.
About one chi long, entirely black, with four limbs and five facial features.
On its head were bare withered branches, leaves eaten clean by the six little ones.
Like a humanoid old tree root.
For this earth spirit cub, Li Weiyi could not tell exactly how many years it had grown, but it was definitely a medicinal herb over three thousand years old, its body terribly hard; even a fifth-grade Hundred Character Artifact sharp sword could not damage it.
Half a month ago, Li Weiyi wanted to cut it open to see what was inside its belly.
It emitted a childlike cry, begging desperately for mercy, like killing a child, making a very miserable scene, the situation once awkward. It was different from other medicinal herbs, full of human nature, and looked very much like a person.
Later, when Li Weiyi studied the rusty long spear, the earth spirit cub’s body glowed brightly, with ceaseless Buddhist Chants. The two attracted each other, and the earth spirit cub’s roots grew directly into the spear tail, closely connected.
Evidently, the thing in the earth spirit cub’s belly was the missing part of the long spear.
Footsteps sounded.
Yang Qingxi, Tuoba Buto, and Qi Xiao walked in. Li Weiyi was playing with the Myriad Staff Spear, wanting to use the stronger Golden Crow Flame he had just cultivated to refine away the surface rust, but it ended in failure again.
Myriad Staff Spear was the name Li Weiyi gave it, meaning the birth of all things from three.
Because its main body was closely connected to the character “three”.
Yang Qingxi said: “It’s been quiet outside for several days. Yi Zhouxue, Sikong Yanlun, and Sikong Jingyuan should really have left. Shouldn’t we set off back to headquarters?”
“People from Yang Family or Spirit Valley Hall haven’t come to Truth Zen Forest?” Li Weiyi asked.
Yang Qingxi frowned slightly: “This is indeed a bit strange. Logically, with our talents, they wouldn’t ignore us. However, no need to worry too much. There are many routes back to headquarters from the south side; it’s not easy for enemies to intercept us midway.”
“Once back at headquarters, after I break through to the fourth heaven, we’ll settle accounts with them properly. No need to have the older generation step in to help.”
“Alright! After I take the inner layer treasure vault, we’ll head back to headquarters.”
Li Weiyi looked toward the cliff face dozens of zhang away, where an ancient stone staircase left behind led up along the wall to the highest and farthest place in the cave mansion.
During the breakthrough just now, Li Weiyi’s mind power perception had penetrated the formation, vaguely seeing the depths of the cave mansion.
Since perception could penetrate inside, Li Weiyi felt that with his current mind power cultivation, he should be able to break the formation on the stone staircase and enter.
Yang Qingxi’s beautiful eyes narrowed, feeling a sense of crisis like letting a wolf into the house.
The secret treasure vault found by Wang Shu, the outer layer only had some blood crystals, gold and silver, ceramics, and such; the real secret treasures must be in the inner layer.
Yang Qingxi regarded it as her forbidden possession, even hiding it from the older generation cultivators of Yang Family.
“This cave mansion is evidently a cultivation place of a major figure from the Ancient Bhakara Sect period. The formation on the stone staircase is no small matter, extremely dangerous. Absolutely do not trespass rashly.” She wanted Li Weiyi to retreat upon realizing the difficulty.
Li Weiyi grabbed the Myriad Staff Spear and walked toward the stone staircase, laughing heartily: “After tens of thousands of years, the formation script on the stone staircase has long blurred. How much power does the formation still have left? Your Highness the Goddess need not worry; I know what I’m doing.”
Yang Qingxi followed: “Too dangerous! In the future, when our cultivation reaches the seventh realm or above, it won’t be too late to come take it.”
Li Weiyi had already reached the first layer stone staircase, which had hundreds of steps, leading straight to the hundred-meter cliff top.
The space at the top of the stone staircase was all distorted, vision blurring there.
He said: “Your Highness the Goddess wouldn’t be reluctant to share a portion with me, right? This is the treasure vault found by Wang Shu. Before dealing with Wang Shu, we agreed on a three-seven split. You took the outer layer treasure vault all to yourself! Now you want to monopolize the inner layer treasure vault too?”
“The people under Wang Shu were taken over by you. I didn’t quibble, did I?”
“Wang Zhi’s departed spirit soul was devoured by Second Miss Yang. I didn’t say anything either; share a bit to feed the bugs?”
“Now, the formation you can’t break, I’ll break. Taking my portion is only right and proper, isn’t it?”
Yang Qingxi’s pure immortal body enchanting pretty face showed a coquettish state: “When did I say I was reluctant? The Fourth Divine Son is bold and skilled; please go ahead!”
Li Weiyi showed a bright sunny smile, then golden-red mind power spiritual light surged along his arm into the Myriad Staff Spear.
Instantly, paths of star track lines wrapped around his arm and body.
The spearhead pointed straight forward.
“Sizzle crash!”
A dazzling beam of light flew out from the spear tip, with rumbling sounds one after another, consecutively breaking seventeen layers of the staircase’s formation.
Ever since the earth spirit cub grew onto the spear tail, Li Weiyi could simply use it as a staff by injecting mind power.
What kind of staff it exactly was, hard to judge.
Its internal structure could not be probed.
However, when Li Weiyi injected mind power spiritual light containing Golden Crow Flame into it and struck out again, the spiritual light flame became extremely condensed, with greatly increased penetration and flame temperature.
Without using the Myriad Staff Spear, his mind power Golden Crow Flame was equivalent to the entry level power of the second layer great technique.
After using it, the power was probably not inferior to the great accomplishment of the second layer great technique.
At his current age, this was quite a shocking achievement.
Yang Qingxi watched Li Weiyi’s heroic upright figure holding the spear ascending the stairs, her mood complex and unclear, both anxious and expectant. She shouted: “Then it’s still a three-seven split!”
“For bringing me to the treasure vault proactively, I’ll give you five parts. Three parts and you’d probably be mad to death.”
Li Weiyi laughed, urged the Myriad Staff Spear, struck out the second blow, continuing to break the formation.
Yang Qingxi was already mad, her shell teeth biting tight, fists clenched like stones.
Yang Qingchan flashed to her side, gloating: “With his current mind power realm, I’m not necessarily his opponent. If we fight, we have no chance of winning.”
Qi Xiao said: “The treasure vault originally had three parts belonging to the Fourth Divine Son. He’s now breaking the formation; getting two more parts is fair. The Divine Son is already very gracious, considering Your Highness the Goddess’s feelings, splitting half and half. If it were me, Old Qi, I’d definitely eat it all alone.”
“Boom!”
“Sizzle crash!”
……
The higher up, the clearer the ancient formation script, the stronger the power, containing terrifying attack power.
For the last dozens of layers, Li Weiyi didn’t dare to force it, but sat on the stone staircase, using Heavenly Eye to observe, carefully studying and analyzing, slowly burning with flames, grinding away the formation script with the Yellow Dragon Sword…
All kinds of formation-breaking methods were used.
Day after day passed just like that.
Yang Qingxi calculated the time; by month’s end again, when the formation power weakened, the last dozen or so layers of stone staircase definitely couldn’t stop Li Weiyi.
The formation script here had existed too long, already unstable.
“Boom!”
Half a day later, taking advantage of the formation power’s decay, Li Weiyi used the Myriad Staff Spear to break a hole in the formation light gauze of the final layer, leaping in first.
By the time Yang Qingxi and Yang Qingchan sped up the stone staircase, the hole in the formation light gauze had disappeared, blocking them outside, infuriating the two women to stamp their feet.
The inner layer treasure vault wasn’t large, visible to the end at a glance.
It indeed resembled a secluded cultivation place for an enlightened high monk, with a Buddha shrine, stone platform, incense burner, stone bed, stone stool…
Li Weiyi just swept a glance, his gaze drawn to a patch of immortal soil on the ground.
The immortal soil was laid under the Buddha shrine, occupying about a square zhang area, emitting four-colored rosy glow. Looking closely, the surface of the immortal soil actually grew a layer of four-colored immortal moss, crystalline and tender, one inch deep, emitting a faint clear fragrance.
“Four-Colored Immortal Moss!”
Li Weiyi instantly recognized it, his heart surging with excitement, blood boiling.
Four-Colored Immortal Moss grew by absorbing immortal soil, extremely rare, an unparalleled treasure for cultivating the longevity body.
To fight longevity realm tycoons solely with the physical body, at least ten jin of immortal soil needed to be refined. But immortal soil became harder to consume the further along, the physical body having absorption limits, requiring slow dripping stone-piercing absorption.
Four-Colored Immortal Moss perfectly compensated for this flaw.
Currently, Li Weiyi had already refined two jin of immortal soil.
His ability to erupt powerful combat power with Dao Seed Realm First Heaven cultivation, besides having one more minor realm in Spring Gushing Realm and Five Seas Realm than other martial cultivators, and vast sea of qi. Another advantage was his physical body ahead of his realm.
He quickly swept the area once more.
Li Weiyi immediately took out the cold jade box, wrapped the four-colored immortal moss with magic energy, carefully harvested them all, packed them up, trying to leave no traces.
He actually very much wanted to take all the immortal soil too, but felt it would be too unkind.
He had always been one to reciprocate kindness; Yang Qingxi had indeed helped before. To avoid danger, she brought them to hide in this treasure vault, so Li Weiyi didn’t want to go overboard.
“Eh!”
Li Weiyi’s gaze fell on the three-chi-high Buddha shrine.
Inside the Buddha shrine, enshrined was not a Buddha statue, but a one-chi-long square iron box.
Even after tens of thousands of years, the iron box surface had not a speck of dust, gleaming as new, with a thick solemn texture.
Li Weiyi instinctively felt that the thing in the iron box was probably far more precious than the immortal soil and four-colored immortal moss, reached out to take it, but the iron box didn’t budge.
One must know, with Li Weiyi’s current power, even if the iron box was grown into the ground, he could yank it free from the earth. But successive attempts all ended in failure.
Using both hands to move the Buddha shrine, the Buddha shrine also didn’t move an inch.
Li Weiyi was thoroughly shocked.
Clearly seeing the Buddha shrine and iron box, iron box and ground, all not adhered, why couldn’t he pick it up?
How heavy was this iron box?
Did it contain a mountain inside?
Not daring to delay further, he urged the Buddha’s Sarira, used spatial power to collect the iron box along with the Buddha shrine into the blood mud space, planning to study it slowly later.
