****************************
Protected by a Formation, Li Weiyi charged forward, slaying an Eighth Heaven Dao Seed Realm Elder of the Twin Rice Sect before immediately retreating to strike the inky black Spiritual Qi cloud once more.
"Boom!"
The Spiritual Qi cloud surged across the water's surface, shifting several dozen feet.
Within the cloud, Huang Xu roared in fury, unable to comprehend why Liu Fengshu had targeted him.
He remained unaware that their feud had been sealed the moment he revealed Li Weiyi's identity to Lua Sheng Linyou at the Twin Rice Sect's Cultivation Headquarters.
The entire harbor erupted in chaos, as Martial-Mystic Cultivators on every ship activated their defensive formations, fearing the collateral damage.
The radiant glow emanating from Xihe resembled a miniature sun, turning the sea's surface into molten gold.
"Why is Liu Fengshu fighting the Twin Rice Sect again?"
"It seems to be related to Ku-Di. Honestly, she's quite ordinary - average looks, average build, average personality. I don't get it."
"Liu Fengshu's Psychic Power mastery is extraordinary. He's facing three Ninth Heaven Dao Seed Realm Martial-Mystic Cultivators. Huang Xu and Kong Xu, though only at the eighth heaven, possess combat prowess rivaling ordinary Ninth Heaven cultivators."
"There are also six or seven formidable eighth heaven experts guarding the perimeter to prevent his escape."
Tai Shi Yu narrowed his eyes, observing the distant conflict.
Liu Fengshu stood atop a Golden Lotus Platform, soaring into the sky one moment and crashing into the black Spiritual Qi clouds above the sea the next.
Protected by a Formation, he moved with lightning speed.
Despite being surrounded by numerous Twin Rice Sect experts, they couldn't corner him.
Tai Shi Bai exclaimed, "Liu Fengshu is too strong! Especially his Physical Body - he can actually strike Spiritual Artifacts with his bare hands! Is he truly a new spirit born from an Immortal Corpse?"
"Even an Inheritor from the Ninth Heaven would have to flee in disarray if besieged by so many experts," Xingyuenu sighed.
Cao Shisan countered, "He's not that strong! Haven't you noticed? He's been constantly evading, never giving the Twin Rice Sect experts a chance to encircle him. The Formation Lotus Platform beneath his feet is extraordinary - it can break through the Dao Heart Manifestation suppression of multiple experts. Otherwise, he would have been beaten to death long ago."
Tai Shi Yu added, "It's like the True Spirit Great Formation of the Rising Sun, but even more powerful. Moreover, the lotus platform is inscribed with multiple Divine Swiftness Talismans, granting him incredible speed. This Formation Platform is no ordinary treasure; it must have been bestowed upon him by his Sect. At his age, he couldn't have refined such a thing himself."
In reality, the truth was far less mystical than Tai Shi Yu imagined.
Li Weiyi had simply integrated the ancient "Formation" Inscription from the Six Jia Secrets Incantation into the True Spirit Great Array of the Rising Sun.
The ancient "Formation" inscription born from the Yellow Dragon Sword was the primordial seal of all Formations.
By merging it with any Formation, its power would be greatly amplified.
"Liu Fengshu... what does that name mean?"
Tang Wanzhou stepped out of the Jade Carriage, her hands clasped behind her back as she gazed out at the distant sea.
The Jade Carriage, drawn by five Snow Dragon Jiao, had once been the personal conveyance of the Martial-Mystic Dao Heavenly Emperor. Now parked by the shore, it radiated magnificent splendor and imposing grandeur.
Tang Wanzhou's current achievements were undoubtedly due to her heaven-defying opportunities.
Tang Wanqiu, the carriage driver, chuckled dismissively: "It's just a name. What could it possibly mean?"
While others might not recognize Xihe beneath Li Weiyi's feet, Tang Wanzhou certainly did.
Seeing Li Weiyi's cultivation and combat prowess had advanced so dramatically, she felt no surprise whatsoever. It was undoubtedly due to the Cocoon of Time.
'Excellent.'
With Li Weiyi's current level of Psychic Power, he should now be able to support Tang Wanzhou's own cultivation within the Cocoon of Time.
"Whoever is targeting the Twin Rice Sect, the Snow Sword Tang Court will lend a hand," Tang Wanzhou declared.
Tang Wanqiu startled: "Sister, the old fogeys in the Lingxiao Realm have already reached agreements with the Rice Palace and Twin Rice Sect. We have no justification for war, and we can't explain it to the higher-ups."
"Moreover, below the Immortal Realm, the Rice Palace's power is terrifying. Even if we only face the Twin Rice Sect, we might not be able to defeat them."
Tang Wanzhou called out, "Tang Zhan!"
A figure emerged from the darkness, two swords strapped to his back and a bamboo hat shading his face.
"Young Lord, what are your orders?"
Tang Wanqiu's eyes narrowed as she focused her Spiritual Power, straining to see through the darkness. The figure remained indistinct, like a shadow without substance. Yet she was certain that the man called Tang Zhan was a living being, not a Dead Spirit.
Tang Wanzhou said, "It seems Huoxin is about to strike. Go assist Liu Fengshu in escaping. Tell him to abandon any hope of killing the Huang Xu. The Rice Palace's strength below the Immortal Realm far exceeds his imagination; even the combined forces of the entire Lingxiao Realm couldn't match it."
"Understood."
Tang Zhan leaped into the sea.
There was no splash, only a shadow darting swiftly toward the heart of the battlefield.
Tang Wanqiu was utterly bewildered. "Sister, who is Tang Zhan? Why have I never heard of such a person in the Snow Sword Tang Court?"
"He's the Divine Hidden One of the Tang Court's Hidden Sect for this Jiazi cycle! Naturally, both he - the Divine Hidden One - and you - the Inheritor - must obey me. It's simply your misfortune to have been born in the wrong era."
Tang Wanzhou turned and stepped back into the Jade Carriage.
The Divine Hidden Ones of the Ancient Myriad Sects' Hidden Sects don't always emerge in the same era.
The Tang Court's Divine Hidden One had already reached the peak of the Dao Seed Realm's Ninth Heaven.
.....
Ku-Di burst from the warship and was immediately taken away by Yao Qingxuan, who had been waiting outside.
Simultaneously, Yao Qingxuan deliberately led Qiongji Daozi inland on Moon Dragon Island.
The battle raged from the warship to the sea surface.
By the time Xihe's golden light illuminated the night sky, Qiongji Daozi realized he had been tricked and immediately turned back, rushing toward the ship.
Yao Qingxuan refrained from killing him, not wanting to alert the Twin Rice Sect's Immortal Realm Giants.
Huoxin stood on the warship's main deck, coldly observing Qiongji Daozi: "Your Lingxiao Twin Rice Sect is utterly useless - a bunch of people who can't even handle one Liu Fengshu. No wonder you've been routed so thoroughly. If you can't manage, perhaps the Rice Palace should intervene!"
"No need!"
Unable to vent his anger at Huoxin, Qiongji Daozi turned away, transforming into a streak of azure light that shot toward the golden Formation Lotus Platform five miles away.
The ink-black Spiritual Qi clouds enveloping the Huang Xu had been mostly dissipated by Li Weiyi, leaving them thin and sparse.
However, the moment Li Weiyi sensed Qiongji Daozi's Dao Heart Manifestation descending, he decisively abandoned his efforts.
Riding Xihe, he rammed into a Twin Rice Sect Elder and fled into the deep sea.
'If there's a chance, fight to the end.'
'If there's no chance, retreat immediately.'
"Thinking of escaping now? Isn't it a little late?" Qiongji Daozi's pent-up rage from his humiliation at Huoxin's hands erupted into a torrent of fury, which he intended to unleash entirely on Li Weiyi.
His Dao Heart Manifestation was Grain Rain Cleansing Dust.
Rain threads drifted down across the bay outside Moon Dragon Island's Sea Market.
Infused with Spiritual Qi, these rain threads transformed into razor-sharp blades, raining down on Li Weiyi like a storm of swords.
Li Weiyi unleashed his full Psychic Power, activating the Formation Scriptures on Xihe to its maximum potential.
A blazing sun materialized, soaring through the rain-soaked night and shattering the rain-blade barrage.
"Stop him!" Qiongji Daozi had already closed the distance to within two miles.
His arrival ignited the Twin Rice Sect Martial-Mystic Cultivators' morale.
They activated their most powerful escape techniques and talismanic treasures that enhanced speed and agility. While they might not be able to defeat Liu Fengshu in a one-on-one fight, holding him off for a few moves to prevent his escape was well within their capabilities.
Kong Xu and Huang Xu joined the interception.
"We can't let him escape," Huang Xu muttered, his anxiety growing.
He sensed an inexplicable hostility from Liu Fengshu, and if the man escaped, Huang Xu knew he would never find peace again.
After repelling two attackers, Li Weiyi glanced sideways at Huang Xu.
Huang Xu's eyelid twitched, and he immediately turned to flee.
"I already spared your life once, yet you insist on courting death."
Li Weiyi unleashed his remaining eight Earth Sword Talismans, transforming them into eight Flying Swords that pierced through Huang Xu's Protective Spiritual Qi and various defenses.
Hearing the wind whistling behind him, Huang Xu gritted his teeth and plunged into the water.
"Boom!"
The Xihe Lotus Platform crashed down, creating a massive crater several meters deep in the sea surface.
When Xihe and Li Weiyi resurfaced, Huang Xu's head had been pierced by the Peachwood Staff.
They dragged his corpse out of the water, trailing a crimson stream of blood.
"Thump!"
Li Weiyi swung the staff, hurling Huang Xu's corpse at the charging Qiongji Daozi.
Unfazed, Qiongji Daozi flicked his sleeve, sending the corpse flying.
His cold gaze fixed on the sea beneath his feet, which instantly froze into a layer of white ice.
He leaped into the air, forming a hand seal: "Descent of the Frozen Hell."
The perfected third layer of the Great Technique.
Freezing air swept across the heavens and earth, turning the sea below white as ice crystals spread rapidly outward.
A colossal Frozen Hell, constructed from ice crystals and towering over three hundred meters high, descended upon Li Weiyi, its power capable of freezing the entire sea.
Li Weiyi's eyes narrowed.
He raised the Peachwood Staff above his head, Spiritual Power surged from the Laogong acupoints in his palms, glowing with Qinghui Immortal Haze.
A three-colored Spiritual Light shot from his forehead, merging with the staff.
"Hiss!"
The Peachwood Staff erupted with a verdant, life-infused radiance, sprouting branches that blossomed into peach blossoms as it clashed against the descending Frozen Hell.
"Boom!"
Spiritual Light, Immortal Haze, raindrops, and ice crystals coalesced into dazzling ripples of energy, exploding outward in all directions.
Countless peach blossoms drifted across the sea, transforming the battlefield into an ethereal spectacle.
....
On the Jiu Li Tribe's warship...
Hidden Nine remarked, "The clash has finally begun! I wonder if Liu Fengshu can withstand Qiongji Daozi?"
Cang Li shook his head gently: "Even if Qiongji Daozi isn't the foremost expert in the Lingxiao Realm, he's certainly among the top three. Opposing him is as difficult as ascending to the heavens."
The Immortality Pills scattered during the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival, combined with the annual supply from the Calamity Crossing Temple to the Lingxiao Realm, and the opportunities arising from the recent fall of Transcendent beings, had enabled most powerful Dao Seed Realm Ninth Heaven cultivators to break through to Immortal Realm.
The number of Inheritors still lingering in the Dao Seed Realm Ninth Heaven could be counted on one hand.
Qiongji Daozi was one of them.
Li Songgu stood on the ship, his nerves taut, ready to intervene at any moment.
He had already learned from Yao Qingxuan that Liu Fengshu was none other than Li Weiyi.
"What's happening? How could the Peachwood Staff undergo such a transformation?" Li Songgu's expression was one of utter bewilderment.
Behind him, in the cabin, lay a coffin.
From within the coffin, Master Coffin's voice echoed: "It's Qinghui! Didn't you notice? The Qinghui Spiritual Qi surging from his hand bears an uncanny resemblance to the Immortal Haze that appeared in Burial Immortal Town. This is a Spiritual Qi beyond imagination, one that has seemingly brought the Peachwood Staff to life. Withered branches sprout anew, and the staff blossoms."
