"Slap!"
Li Weiyi stared at her retreating figure and slapped his forehead hard, finally understanding why Qing Zijin harbored such deep-seated prejudice against him.
So, trouble had struck on their very first day at Blazing Absolute Mountain!
Of course, she had already been a Holy Spiritual Master by then.
'How utterly humiliating!' He had been making a fool of himself for months.
Li Weiyi could vividly imagine what she must have been thinking every time he spoke to her.
....
Upon returning to Clear Sound Pavilion, Li Weiyi fed the three Millennial Essence Herbs - aged four thousand, five thousand, and six thousand years respectively - to Third Phoenix, Fifth Phoenix, and Seventh Phoenix.
High-grade Essence Herbs were priceless, so he had to prioritize nurturing those with the greatest potential.
Third Phoenix could wield Golden Crow Flame, Fifth Phoenix possessed innate speed, and Seventh Phoenix could shrink and turn invisible, making her a formidable assassin against powerful enemies.
Aside from Big Phoenix and Er Feng, she was Li Weiyi's most capable combatant.
The "Soldier's Soul Technique" wasn't a profound Dao Technique; it was merely a method to protect one's soul.
After half a day of cultivation, Li Weiyi had grasped its fundamentals.
"Yu'er, put on this armor!"
Li Weiyi fastened a Dragon Scale Bracelet onto her slender wrist.
Instantly, black scales spread across her body, enveloping her entirely.
He then donned his Governor's Official Robe.
"Master, what are we going to do?" Yu'er asked, touching the armor and feeling its icy coolness.
"We're going to a place we should have visited long ago."
"Hmm... I've already suppressed the ghosts in the Blood Mud Space. You should hide there for a bit. I'll let you out soon - just a short while."
Li Weiyi stored Yu'er inside the Dao Ancestor's Tai Chi Fish, then strode purposefully toward the mountain peak.
Arriving at the Spiritual Master Guard New Recruit Camp halfway up the mountain, he paid his respects to Instructors Yuan Jingsan and Xue Yan.
He informed them of his upcoming cultivation in the Fire Abyss while subtly inquiring whether any other Spiritual Masters were present within the abyss.
"Don't stand on ceremony," Yuan Jingsan said, "We're all Holy Spiritual Master now."
Yuan Jingsan pulled Li Weiyi down to sit.
"There are definitely senior Sentinel Spirits cultivating deeper within the Heavenly Fire World. But they've gone to the most remote areas, so they won't interfere with each other."
Xue Yan's attitude toward Li Weiyi was noticeably more polite than before.
"Having just broken through to become a Holy Spiritual Master, your Heavenly Surge Soul is still weak. It's best to cultivate within a few miles of the Fire Abyss entrance. That way, you can retreat quickly if danger arises."
Yuan Jingsan chuckled: "The Heavenly Fire World is vast and its depths are legendary and boundless. There are indeed external dangers, like firestorms. But they only occur once every few years, so don't worry too much about them."
"Thank you for the warning, Instructors."
After Li Weiyi excused himself and left, Yuan Jingsan turned to Xue Yan, the beautiful woman beside him.
"Do you think he'll last longer in the Fire Abyss than Nangong?"
"Qing Zijin spent twenty-eight days there and condensed her eleventh Psychic Power Star. Nangong lasted thirty-four days, and rumor has it she recently condensed her twelfth. But this one... I can't figure him out!" Xue Yan replied.
Yuan Jingsan picked up his teacup and smiled: "Well, they're all defying the heavens, far surpassing us in our day! I only lasted fourteen days back then, and I was quite proud of it at the time. Now, I wouldn't dare mention it in front of them. Ha ha!"
"If the Martial-Mystic Path hadn't recruited Tang Wanzhou and Changyu Jian, our Spiritual Master Guard would have undoubtedly outshone them this year," Xue Yan said.
....
Tai Shi Yu was in seclusion for Spirit Condensation, so Li Weiyi didn't disturb him and headed straight for the mountain peak.
The Fire Abyss was a crimson spatial rift stretching hundreds of meters long, like a tear in paper revealing another world - a Heavenly Fire World utterly unlike Yingzhou, consisting solely of flames and devoid of any other matter.
Standing at the summit, Li Weiyi felt the scorching heat searing his skin.
'Other Spiritual Masters need to use Spiritual Qi martial robes for protection and envelop themselves in Spiritual Light to withstand the Skyfire,' he thought, 'But with my powerful Physical Body and Spiritual Qi, I should be stronger than them.'
"Whoosh!"
Li Weiyi leaped into the air, Spiritual Light wings sprouting from his back as he soared into the Fire Abyss.
Unlike other abysses that plunged into the earth, the Fire Abyss stretched straight into the deep void.
As he entered, Heavenly Fire surged toward him like a tidal wave.
Li Weiyi refrained from activating the Governor's Official Robe, choosing instead to experience the flames' temperature with his bare skin.
'Not bad, I can endure this for now.'
'But it burns!'
The clothes beneath his Governor's Official Robe ignited, instantly turning to ash.
Rather than forcing his way through, Li Weiyi activated the robe's defensive capabilities to shield himself.
Then, he looked down.
The hundreds-of-meters-long spatial rift resembled the entrance to a deep abyss, leading to Blazing Absolute Mountain.
From this vantage point, he could survey the Spiritual Master Guard New Recruit Camp below.
Above, the deeper one went, the darker the flames became, gradually turning black.
Pitch-black and profound, it resembled a realm of utter annihilation.
Within several miles of the Fire Abyss's entrance, jade platforms crafted by senior experts from the Cave Void Camp floated in the air, suspended by Formations.
Each jade platform was three feet square.
Li Weiyi flew six or seven miles on a beam of light before landing on a platform near the edge.
Activating his Heavenly Eye, he surveyed the surroundings before summoning the Dao Ancestor's Tai Chi Fish.
"Whoosh!"
Spatial ripples spread through the flames.
Yu'er, clad in black dragon scale armor, emerged alongside the Seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors.
Li Weiyi carefully scanned the area to avoid detection by Sentinel Spirits cultivating in the Heavenly Fire World.
He whispered, "Yu'er, how are you feeling?"
"Yu... Grand... Grand Palace Master..."
As Li Weiyi turned to look at Yu'er beside him, he immediately sensed something was wrong.
His breath caught in his throat, and his body stiffened.
Though she still appeared as a young girl with a snow-white, oval face retaining a hint of childishness, her eyes... were no longer clear and innocent.
They now held a profound, scrutinizing, and sharp gaze, as if she were looking down upon the entire world.
Her hairband had burned away, and her headpiece had melted, leaving her long hair cascading down.
She lowered her gaze to Li Weiyi's hand gripping her wrist.
Li Weiyi quickly released his grip.
Yu Yaozi stepped off the narrow jade platform and floated into the air, walking step by step through the flames.
No Spiritual Qi supported her; instead, strands of Spiritual Light carried her.
"The entrance to the Heavenly Fire World at the Cave Void (Dongxu) Camp?" Her voice was serene, devoid of emotion.
Under the oppressive weight of her terrifying Qi Field, Li Weiyi struggled to maintain his Master's composure and dignity. "Yes!"
"Continue your cultivation here."
With those words, Yu Yaozi's figure transformed into a wisp of flame, soaring deep into the heart of the Heavenly Fire World.
In an instant, her Vital Energy and form vanished without a trace, leaving no trace of her presence.
Li Weiyi exhaled deeply.
The oppressive weight of her Transcendent Qi Field had been utterly terrifying - Liu Tianchen's clone couldn't even begin to compare.
'As expected, entering the Heavenly Fire World automatically awakens the Grand Palace Master's consciousness.'
'Thank goodness! Though she's colder and more imposing, she seems to recognize me and still retains Yu'er's memories... I can't let her cook or wash dishes anymore! Uh, I guess there won't be any more chances for that!'
Li Weiyi pondered silently.
Once Yu Yaozi refined the Cursed Monster within her and regained her full cultivation strength, what drastic changes would she bring to the Lingxiao Life Realm and the East Sea?
For him, it should all be for the better.
Dismissing further thoughts, Li Weiyi settled into a cross-legged meditation posture.
First, he activated the Soldier's Soul Technique to protect his Heavenly Surge Soul.
Then, within the Spirit Realm, the hundred-zhang-tall Fusang Divine Tree Spirit Light materialized.
As his meditation deepened, wisps of Heavenly Fire converged toward the space between his eyebrows.
"Whoosh!"
Inside the hundred-zhang Spirit Realm between his eyebrows, crimson, scarlet, and white Spirit Fire dominated, while strands of azure Starlight remained mere wisps of luminous mist.
Heavenly Fire surged into the Spirit Realm.
Li Weiyi discovered that Heavenly Fire was actually colorless and incapable of independent existence, requiring integration with a Spiritual Master's Spiritual Light.
Once absorbed by a Spiritual Master's Spiritual Light, Heavenly Fire imbued it with soul-burning power.
This could be used against Cursed Monsters and ghost spirits, as well as to attack the souls of both living and departed beings.
Moreover, transporting Heavenly Fire out of the Heavenly Fire World was exceedingly difficult; once removed, it would immediately extinguish.
"Not bad. For now, there's no sign of the Heavenly Surge Soul being scorched."
Having acclimated to the Heavenly Fire World's environment, Li Weiyi began multitasking.
Within his body, he circulated Spiritual Qi to attack the Qiankun Shackle on his back.
His Qiankun Shackle was exceptionally robust and thick, resembling an iron chain piercing through heaven and earth.
Despite days of relentless assault within his Soul Sea, it remained virtually unchanged.
Li Weiyi remained confident that he wouldn't suffer the same fate as Zhu Qishi'er Chongtian, who had been trapped below the Immortal Realm.
His Seven-Clawed Heavenly Dragon Qi far surpassed the Spiritual Qi of other Martial-Mystic Cultivators in both potency and abundance, granting him a significant advantage.
Simultaneously, he could also mobilize the liquid mana and Immortal Haze Radiance from his Divine Pivot acupoint to amplify the impact.
Five days later, Li Weiyi divided his attention threefold, retrieving the Earth Book, Buddhist Dao Imprint Stone Wall, Eight Trigrams Supreme Profound Scripture, and other classic scriptures for study and contemplation.
The seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors continued to absorb Heavenly Fire.
However, apart from the Third Phoenix, the remaining six merely inhaled and exhaled flames as if breathing air.
Twenty days later, within the hundred-zhang Spirit Realm between his brows, spiritual light surged like a sea, and flames churned in a vortex, rapidly coalescing.
Li Weiyi still possessed a small quantity of Spirit Platform Blazing Star Stones, but this time he refrained from using them, relying instead on his own power to condense Spiritual Power Stars.
Over two days, the eleventh Spiritual Power Star materialized.
Time passed steadily.
When hungry, he consumed Blood Pills. When his Spiritual Qi was severely depleted, he absorbed it from Blood Crystals.
Li Weiyi remained completely immersed in the dual benefits of absorbing Heavenly Fire and contemplating the scriptures, experiencing the profound satisfaction of his cultivation realm rapidly advancing.
Until one day, two months later...
"A fiery storm is erupting in the Heavenly Fire World! Retreat immediately!"
An elder Sentinel Spirit from the Sentinel Spirit Army descended from the sky, glanced at Li Weiyi from afar, and transmitted a warning before swiftly flying toward the Fire Abyss's exit.
"A firestorm? I've actually run into one?"
Li Weiyi looked upward and saw flames churning like crimson tides surging downward.
He immediately gathered his scriptures, stepped into the void, and retreated rapidly.
As for Yu Yaozi?
Why would he need to worry about her?
Li Weiyi had just reached the Fire Abyss's exit when a figure descended from above, carrying a magnificent, blazing firestorm.
Her long hair streamed like trails of burning light, and she wore black dragon scale armor that accentuated her graceful figure.
The contrast between her porcelain-white skin and the dark armor was striking.
She now appeared to be thirteen or fourteen years old, having completely shed her childishness.
"Take me to see the Sentinel Lord of the Cave Void Camp," she commanded, "This Palace Master wishes to speak with him."
