***********************************
Time flew by.
Three months passed in a flash.
Li Weiyi had been staying with An Xianjing the entire time, each day feeling like a year.
He was constantly worried about Tang Wanzhou being discovered and dared not go to the Tanggu Sea to cultivate with the Fusang Divine Tree and the Time Cocoon.
His cultivation progress was painfully slow.
Fortunately, during this period, An Xianjing had successfully reattached Qi Xiao and Tuoba Butuo's severed limbs.
An Xianjing would often discuss Buddhist scriptures with him.
Li Weiyi knew nothing about such matters.
The Chan Sect was a Daoist sect, after all.
He could only recite some familiar Buddhist sayings, such as "The body is the Bodhi tree, the mind a clear mirror stand" and "Form does not differ from emptiness, emptiness does not differ from form. Form itself is emptiness, emptiness itself is form."
To his surprise, she listened intently, as if truly gaining insight.
One day, An Xianjing finally integrated the Sixfold Samsara Burning Karma Technique with her Psychic Power.
The sixfold samsara manifested around her, ethereal and dreamlike, with thunder and lightning coexisting with rain and dew, constantly annihilating and regenerating, sometimes empty and desolate, sometimes vibrant with Six Colors.
The entire Southern Purity (Nanqing) Palace was bathed in ten thousand rays of fiery clouds, yet the flames weren't purely destructive.
Under her control, even when they brushed past grass and trees, they didn't harm a single blade of grass.
The entire Main Hall was enveloped in a fantastical realm of dream bubbles.
On one side of the sky, fiery clouds blazed; on the other, a curtain of thunder and lightning poured down.
An Xianjing retracted all her power, stood up from the field ridge, and felt utterly elated.
This joy reflected in her appearance, transforming her into a Pure Immortal Physique radiating boundless life energy.
Her skin and hair shimmered with divine light, and her features, now more youthful and refined than ever, possessed a serene, ethereal beauty that could captivate the soul.
Li Weiyi sat meditating on the opposite side of the field ridge. Only after all the celestial phenomena had vanished did he ask, "Hall Master, have you entered the Transcendent Realm?"
"Transcending isn't so easy. But I've opened the door. Crossing it is just a matter of time. My Psychic Power still isn't strong enough."
An Xianjing was in an exceptionally good mood. She gazed leisurely at Li Weiyi, her voice melodious.
"You have a deep affinity with the Buddhism. Read more scriptures, don't indulge in women, and stop fighting and killing. Cultivate your mind and body, and perhaps one day you might become a True Buddha."
"Practice Cihang Enlightenment more. Use its battle technique intent to connect with the Great Dao of the universe and condense a Dao Seed of Buddhahood."
"You also show great talent for the Sixfold Samsara Burning Karma Technique. In just three months, you've already achieved minor mastery. With more practice, you should reach major mastery within a year or two at most."
...
Li Weiyi listened quietly, sensing that Hall Master An was giving him pointed advice out of spite.
After all, over the past three months, Li Weiyi had corrected her more often, and she had even mastered the Cihang Enlightenment through repeated practice.
An Xianjing, though she didn't show it on the surface, must have been somewhat annoyed.
Now that her Sixfold Samsara Burning Karma Technique had advanced further, she had finally broken through the clouds and seen the sun, her entire being radiating an air of triumphant satisfaction.
Taking advantage of her good mood, Li Weiyi said, "Hall Master, this Fourth Divine Son position... it's more of a curse than a blessing. Can I please decline it?"
"Afraid of Si Kong Jingyuan and Si Kong Yanlun?" An Xianjing's smile vanished.
Li Weiyi replied, "It's not exactly fear. It's just that I'm not one for the spotlight. I prefer to keep a low profile."
"You want to keep a low profile after killing Wang Shu? Countless people dream of becoming a Divine Son, and you're turning it down? What? Do you think being a Divine Son of the Twin Rice Sect is inferior to being a Divine Hidden God of the Jiu Li Clan?" An Xianjing questioned him, her voice devoid of anger.
Li Weiyi said, "Of course not..."
An Xianjing said calmly, "Divine Sons and Daughters aren't required to complete missions every season. Moreover, the Fourth Divine Son receives 100,000 Merit Points each season, totaling 400,000 per year, which can be exchanged for a wealth of resources. In the future, you can even build your own prefecture at the Main Hall. You can't possibly stay with your Master forever, can you?"
"Furthermore, as Divine Sons and Daughters, you'll have access to vast resources and manpower outside. In the Divine Sect, the Heaven Valley (Tianxia) Hall's influence surpasses that of the other three halls combined, with hundreds of millions of followers. That's why it has three Vice Hall Masters."
"In terms of strength, the Divine Sect is comparable to the Imperial Court."
"Both of you are in the Dao Seed Realm. Why did your killing of Wang Zhi and the others cause barely a ripple, while your killing of Wang Shu nearly led to a Four Halls Joint Tribunal? It's because the higher your status, the greater the price they must pay to move against you."
An Xianjing tossed Li Weiyi the Divine Son Life Token engraved with his name.
"Remember to drip your blood into the Life Token. Don't even think about severing ties with the Divine Sect. If you flee or betray us, what will happen to your Master? Both your Master and I have vouched for you."
"Cultivate the golden rice well in the Southern Purity (Nanqing) Palace. When your Master returns, she'll take you to the Heavenly Principles (Tianli) Hall to complete the sacrificial notification ceremony for your Divine Child Consecration."
With those words, An Xianjing calmly stepped out of the formation's light veil.
She swung her prayer beads in one hand and held the other behind her back, radiating an unfathomable aura as she walked out of the Southern Purity (Nanqing) Palace.
"Greetings, Hall Master!"
"Welcome back from seclusion, Hall Master!"
"Heavenly phenomena have appeared! Congratulations on your breakthrough, Hall Master, and your imminent transcendence!"
Outside the Southern Purity (Nanqing) Palace, a sea of people had gathered.
The earlier astonishing phenomenon had drawn countless disciples and Elders from the Main Hall, all kneeling in congratulations.
The atmosphere was festive and jubilant.
An Xianjing's seclusion in the Southern Purity (Nanqing) Palace instead of the Spirit Valley (Linggu) Hall had inadvertently bolstered the authority of the Southern Venerable's eldest disciple, who was stationed there.
This newly appointed Fourth Divine Son held extraordinary significance in Hall Master An's eyes.
After An Xianjing left, Li Weiyi could finally sneak into the Blood Mud Space and use the Fusang Divine Tree and Time Cocoon to accelerate his cultivation in the Seventh Sea.
During this time, he had to be careful to prevent Tang Wanzhou from discovering his secret.
Now that he was a Three-Star Spiritual Master, his Time Cocoon could last for ten days.
Meanwhile, only three days had passed outside the cocoon.
.....
....
For the next six months, Li Weiyi remained almost entirely within the Southern Purity (Nanqing) Palace, except to exchange for cultivation resources.
He became remarkably well-behaved.
In the eyes of An Xianjing and Yao Qingxuan, he had finally abandoned his longing for the outside world and was diligently cultivating and tending to the Golden Rice.
Seeing his diligence and obedience, they each brought him gifts whenever they returned from their outings.
During this period, Li Weiyi accompanied Yao Qingxuan to the Heavenly Principles (Tianli) Hall to complete the Sacrificial Notification Ceremony.
Being the Fourth Divine Son of the Heretical Sect held no significance to him, as long as he wasn't forced to commit heinous acts. He was content to cultivate in the Main Hall's tranquility.
Besides, he had saved the Young Lord of the Northern Territory. If he ever found himself in a difficult situation, he would at least have a fallback plan.
Blood Mud Space.
Within the Time Cocoon.
Li Weiyi finally achieved Great Perfection in the Seventh Sea.
At that instant, his Veins, Meridians, and Ten Springs erupted with golden radiance, resonating like a chorus of plucked strings.
This was the process of further solidifying and consolidating his foundation after reaching Great Perfection in the Five Seas Realm.
His Veins, Meridians, and physical body all underwent a transformation.
His Spring's spiritual power surged even more powerfully.
The World Barriers of his seven Qi Seas shimmered with light.
Once he reached the Dao Seed Realm, he would no longer need to rely on Spring Liquid to expand his Wind Mansion and Ancestral Field.
After a long pause...
"Whoosh!"
A spatial fluctuation erupted from Li Weiyi's Ancestral Field below his navel.
Immediately, the inner and outer worlds connected, and the Ancestral Field began frantically absorbing the Five Elements energy from the heavens and earth.
The Five Elements energy transformed into two types of Qi: clear (pure) and turbid.
The clear (pure) Qi rose upward, turning Profound Black like the sky, while the turbid Qi sank downward, turning yellow like the earth.
"This was so difficult! Finally, it's complete. Thirty-six thousand for the Wind Mansion, seventy-two thousand for the Ancestral Field, perfectly aligning with the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends numbers."
Li Weiyi's heart was filled with emotion, as if he had walked a hundred and eight thousand miles to finally obtain the True Scripture. He had spent far too long cultivating and accumulating resources in the Sixth and Seventh Seas, consuming vast amounts of wealth.
But there was no other way.
His Innate World was simply too vast. The Fourth and Fifth Seas alone were comparable in size to others' Wind Mansions and Ancestral Fields.
For a Martial-Mystic Cultivator of his caliber, with a Wind Mansion and Ancestral Field spanning a hundred and eight thousand square feet, it would normally take decades to achieve Great Perfection.
"The Ancestral Field is truly different from the Wind Mansion. It's like a world with both sky and earth, not just simply larger. No wonder cultivating a Dao Seed in the Wind Mansion can't lead to Breaking Through to Immortal Realm."
"Eh? What's this?"
As Li Weiyi examined his Ancestral Field internally, he discovered an astonishing sight.
The Ninth Spring Ancestral Field was located below his navel.
The Tenth Spring Divine Gate, the Divine Gate of the Navel, was situated directly above the Ancestral Field, at his navel.
The Ancestral Field resembled a spherical world, while the boundless Divine Gate above it was like the vast, empty cosmos.
More crucially, beyond the observable area shrouded in Immortal Haze within the Divine Gate lay a void of pitch-black emptiness, perfectly mirroring the vastness of the cosmos.
Li Weiyi could even imagine the darkness beyond the Divine Gate's observable area enveloping the Ancestral Field, possibly even encompassing the Wind Mansion and the Five Seas.
The scene within his body left him deeply shaken.
"If the Ancestral Field becomes part of the Divine Gate in the future, I could directly use the Divine Gate to plant my Dao Seed. What might grow from a seed planted on a planet could be a towering tree. But a seed planted in the cosmos could become a Celestial Tree, an Ancient Star River Root, completely unbound by the World Barrier."
As his emotions gradually calmed, Li Weiyi decided to start practicing Dragon Seed in the Wind Mansion.
Studying the Ancient Heavenly Emperor's insights into the Great Dao couldn't be a bad thing.
After all, Master Guan had said that the Dragon Clan's Dao was one of the most supreme Great Daos in the world, a top-grade Dao Seed.
Dragon Seed Dao wasn't about blindly following the Flying Dragon's cultivation path.
It was just a seed!
By absorbing the Ancient Heavenly Emperor's insights while integrating his own cultivation experiences, each person's Dao would be unique.
In the Dragon Clan, or any other faction with the Dao Seed of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor, this is commonplace.
It's like a tree bearing countless seeds.
"Boom!"
Li Weiyi retrieved a Dragon Seed and injected it into his Wind Mansion, carefully nurturing it with Spiritual Qi.
The Dragon Seed resembled a radiant, crystalline dragon pearl.
Under the influence of the Spiritual Qi, tiny Scripture symbols, each no larger than a mosquito's leg, began to emerge within the Dragon Seed. These symbols were profound and cryptic, taking countless forms: some like rune lines, others like dragon claws, others like wind and rain, still others like Thunder and Lightning...
All Scriptures in this world are symbols of the Dao.
Runes, Insect Scripture, formation glyphs, Pill Scripture, Artifact Scripture, Beast Scripture... They all possess the ability to absorb energy from the heavens and earth and transform it into various forms of Extraordinary power because they are symbols of the Dao.
The Scriptures recorded in the Great Dao Scripture were left behind by Transcendents and are known as "Great Dao Scriptures."
Cultivators cannot directly perceive or touch the Dao. They must rely on Great Dao Scriptures to comprehend and understand it.
The Dao Seed Realm is a journey of constant study and comprehension of various Scriptures.
If a cultivator can fully grasp them, they can connect with the Great Dao and condense corresponding Scriptures within their bodies.
These Scriptures will then grow and flourish, taking root, sprouting, and bearing fruit.
If Li Weiyi wanted to communicate with the mysterious laws of heaven and earth through his Battle Technique Intent and condense a Dao Seed perfectly suited to him, he first needed to comprehend his own unique scripture before he could complete the Dao Seed process.
The advantage of Dragon Seed was that he didn't need to take this step.
Countless Ancient Heavenly Emperor Scriptures were already contained within the Dao Seed.
All he needed to do was build a Soul Bridge to connect his soul spirit with the Dragon Seed.
By merging his soul spirit with his Battle Technique Intent, he could continuously absorb Spiritual Qi to strengthen himself. His insights would be imprinted onto the Dragon Seed, allowing him to forge his own unique Martial-Mystic Dao through it.
On the surface of the Dragon Seed, countless scriptures continuously shimmered as Spiritual Qi completely permeated it, completing its refinement.
As it slowly rotated, it sent out ripples that caused a seismic shift in Li Weiyi's Spiritual Qi level, centered around his Wind Mansion.
This transformation lasted a full day.
Li Weiyi completed the Dao Seed process and finally entered the Dao Seed Realm!
