Li Weiyi was curious.
If Yu Yaozi possessed the Book of Radiant Stars, why hadn't she reclaimed the lost territories of the Netherworld when her cultivation was at its peak?
He didn't ask.
Yu Yaozi had already entered Clear Sound Pavilion.
Li Weiyi followed her inside, finding her standing beneath the eaves of the main hall, bathed in dappled sunlight.
She suddenly asked, "What is your true relationship with the Mist Master? Is she a living being or a Dead Spirit now?"
"When the Grand Palace Master finds her, she can ask herself," Li Weiyi replied, "Even if I answered you now, you wouldn't believe me."
He remained wary of Yu Yaozi, never revealing the unique nature of his bloodline.
Yu Yaozi murmured as if to herself, "She gave you a strand of her primordial soul, and your souls are intertwined in such a peculiar way. I truly cannot understand why she would do this."
Li Weiyi's heart tightened.
He wondered if Yu Yaozi had secretly probed him or if her unfathomable Psychic Power had allowed her to sense the state of the soul strands of Zen Hai Guanwu within his body.
Being in the presence of such a godlike, supreme expert meant that keeping even the smallest secret was impossible.
"When you were at your weakest, Zen Hai chose not to entrust you to any of the Imperial Court's powerful factions. Instead, she entrusted you to me, a Martial-Mystic Cultivator of the Dao Seed Realm with meager cultivation. The Grand Palace Master should understand how deeply she trusted me," Li Weiyi implied, reminding her who had protected her in her most vulnerable state.
Yu Yaozi frowned: "Zen Hai? You truly are audacious, lacking all reverence... Come here."
Li Weiyi didn't move.
As her master, he felt it was undignified to be summoned so casually.
"Whoosh!"
Yu Yaozi's brow furrowed slightly.
With a gentle flick of her slender, jade-like fingers, a strand of Spiritual Light shot forth, coiling around Li Weiyi.
Each strand weighed a thousand kilograms, as resilient as divine chains, and burrowed into his Wind Mansion and Ancestral Field, probing his Martial-Mystic Path cultivation to help him overcome his martial bottlenecks.
"Something's wrong. Your Ancestral Field doesn't appear to have been pierced."
With a swift motion, Yu Yaozi appeared before Li Weiyi, her slender fingers pressing against his Ancestral Field below his navel, meticulously examining it.
"The Ancient Celestial Emperor's spring liquid has already healed my Ancestral Field," Li Weiyi explained, "It just can't Seed Dao anymore."
"Silence."
Yu Yaozi was deeply puzzled: "Even if your Ancestral Field was once pierced, it has now fully recovered to meet the requirements for Seed Dao. Why did the Mist Master still have you cultivate the Wind Mansion Dao Seed? Even if your Wind Mansion is vast, it's located within the skull, which carries significant risks and limitations."
Suddenly, something occurred to her.
Her expression shifted, and her fingers moved upward to the Divine Pivot.
"Whoosh!"
Spiritual Light surged from her fingertips, flowing into the Divine Pivot.
Gradually, the corners of her lips curved upward.
She withdrew her small hand.
"No wonder your combat prowess is so extraordinary for your cultivation realm, far surpassing even the Young Heavenly Emperor. I suspected you had cultivated the Tenth Spring Divine Gate. You truly haven't uttered a single truthful word."
Li Weiyi showed no embarrassment whatsoever.
Now that his Divine Pivot had been exposed, he seized the opportunity to ask, "I have a Martial-Mystic path dilemma I'd like to consult a senior expert about. But the notion of cultivating a Divine Pivot Dao Seed is so shocking that I've kept it bottled up, torn between hesitation and confusion."
"Tell me about it," Yu Yaozi said, entering the main hall and settling into a chair.
Li Weiyi explained, "Initially, cultivating the Wind Mansion Dragon Seed was merely a smokescreen. Now that my cultivation has reached the peak of the Ninth Heaven, a breakthrough into Immortal Realm is imminent. Once I attain Immortal Realm, the shock of breaking through using the Wind Mansion will likely rival the revelation of cultivating the Divine Pivot."
"I'm considering moving the Dragon Seed to the Ancestral Field," Li Weiyi said.
"You think you can just move it?" Yu Yaozi retorted, "The Dragon Seed has already bonded with the Wind Mansion. Moving it to the Ancestral Field would take who knows how many years to adapt."
"So, this path is impossible?" Li Weiyi asked.
Yu Yaozi, her youthful face in deep thought, replied, "Go prepare the meal first. Let me think. There are plenty of vegetables in the garden and spiritual rice in the jar."
Li Weiyi froze for a moment, then realized the Grand Palace Master must have retained Yu'er's memories and was likely seeking revenge, her heart burning with resentment.
"I never forced the Grand Palace Master to cook or do laundry," Li Weiyi protested, pulling out his diary and placing it on the table beside Yu Yaozi, "The records prove it."
He quickly retreated to the garden to gather vegetables.
'What else can I do when I need her help?'
Yu Yaozi glanced at the diary, dark lines furrowing her brow, her expression turning as cold as ice.
Li Weiyi wasn't unskilled in cooking.
He had prepared vegetarian meals with his master on Immortal Hill since childhood.
Soon, the aroma of cooking wafted from the kitchen.
Three vegetarian dishes were placed before Yu Yaozi, along with a bowl of crystal-clear spiritual rice.
Yu Yaozi raised a snow-white arm, her fingers slightly extended.
Li Weiyi, understanding the gesture, retrieved chopsticks and handed them to her.
"Grand Palace Master, please enjoy your meal."
Yu Yaozi picked at the food with a disdainful expression, taking only a few bites before declaring, "If the Imperial Chefs of Lingxiao Palace cooked at this level, they would have been banished to the Western Territory long ago, exiled ten thousand miles."
"Grand Palace Master's criticism is valid! But this isn't Lingxiao Palace, and I'm not an Imperial Chef," Li Weiyi replied.
"Practice more in the future," Yu Yaozi said sternly, setting down her chopsticks, "Two Dao Seeds without a sufficiently strong connection shouldn't be cultivated simultaneously. It's a waste of energy and resources. Your Wind Mansion Dragon Seed offers almost no assistance to your Divine Pivot Dao Seed in combat."
"If you hadn't been cultivating the Wind Mansion Dragon Seed, your Divine Pivot Dao Seed might have already reached the Ninth Heaven."
"My recommendation is to refine the Wind Mansion Dragon Seed into a Immortal Pill unique to you. Use it to nourish your Divine Pivot Dao Seed, allowing it to transform into a Immortal Golden Pill at the fastest possible rate."
"As for the Divine Pivot's exposure, you have absolutely nothing to worry about."
"Since you've cared for me for a year... even though you've been a bit bossy, I owe you enough to protect your growth. If any elders from the Ancient Sect or the Imperial Court Kingdom dare to harm you, I'll personally visit them with my sword. As for your own generation, if you can't defeat them, then your Divine Pivot Seed Dao will have truly disappointed me."
"Secondly, my earlier investigation revealed that your Divine Pivot and Ancestral Field share a common realm."
"The Divine Pivot is the heavens, and the Ancestral Field is the earth. The earth has form, while the heavens are formless. The earth has boundaries, but the heavens are boundless."
"You can freely draw Spiritual Qi from the Divine Pivot and channel it through the Ancestral Field. Tell them your Ancestral Field isn't crippled - that your cultivation is rooted in it."
Li Weiyi had already considered this.
After reaching the Immortal Realm, the Wind Mansion Dragon Seed had lost all its value.
Now was the time to make a choice.
"Old Li, someone named Tai Shi Yu is here to visit."
"Hey, Yu'er's grown again?" Er Feng flew in, visibly surprised.
"Yu'er's grown again?"
"How much has she grown?"
"Wow, she's growing faster than me! She's already a young woman."
The room was crowded with Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors, each buzzing with curiosity and excitement.
Li Weiyi had released them upon entering Clear Sound Pavilion, tasking them with guarding the entrance.
"Whoosh!"
The space above Yu Yaozi's Ancestral Field trembled, erupting in a dazzling display of multicolored light.
Instantly, a rich medicinal fragrance filled the air, mingled with the vital energy of the Life Spring and Phoenix Tree.
The entire Clear Sound Pavilion transformed into an ocean of luminous mist.
"Those who haven't reached the Immortal Realm, come forward first," Yu Yaozi instructed.
Third Phoenix, Fourth Phoenix, Fifth Phoenix, and Sixth Phoenix, drawn by the medicinal scent, swooped forward, circling Yu Yaozi in a joyous frenzy.
From the Ancestral Field, Yu Yaozi retrieved four high-grade Millennial Essence Herbs and distributed them among the phoenixes.
In the East Sea, she had seized the Life Spring and Phoenix Tree Mirage from Qilin Zhuang, storing them within her Ancestral Field.
It was well-known that the Life Spring was surrounded by rare medicines and exotic herbs.
"Long live Yu'er! How could you hide so many delicious treats?"
"Yu'er's belly must be full of treasures!"
"Yu'er, if you need anything, tell me, Fourth Phoenix, from now on. Old Li always gives the best food to Big Phoenix, Little Phoenix, and Seventh Phoenix first - so unfair! He calls it 'limited resources,' saying the strong should get stronger first to help the weak later. 'Strength first, then support the rest,' he says!"
Li Weiyi hadn't gone far and could still hear the voices from the room.
His expression darkened.
Big Phoenix, Little Phoenix, and Seventh Phoenix flew beside him.
Little Phoenix reassured him, "They're easily swayed, just greedy for food. Don't take it to heart, Old Li."
"Bribed with a single Essence Herb? Disgraceful! Making us moths look so cheap," Big Phoenix scoffed.
Seven Phoenix countered, "Yu'er is one of us. We've watched her grow up."
Inside the room, Yu Yaozi's voice rang out again: "Those who have reached the Immortal Realm may enter! Each of you can claim a leaf from the Phoenix Tree."
Big Phoenix, Little Phoenix, and Seventh Phoenix stopped in their tracks.
Li Weiyi turned to them: "Though those Phoenix Tree leaves are formed from mirage Qi, the Giants of the Immortal Realm consider them treasures. They'll greatly benefit you. If she's offering, take them."
"Don't worry, Old Li," Little Phoenix declared, "I, Little Phoenix, will remain eternally loyal."
"Let's use her food to grow stronger first. I want to see how much she can actually provide," Big Phoenix said.
A moment later, Seventh Phoenix's voice echoed from the room: "I'd walk through fire for you, Yu'er."
Li Weiyi wasn't jealous of Yu Yaozi.
After all, with her cultivation realm, she wouldn't even notice the Seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors' current meager strength.
She was simply distributing resources she happened to possess.
Stepping out of the Clear Sound Pavilion's Formation, Li Weiyi saw the Spiritual Master Guard's Sentinels moving out.
He turned to Tai Shi Yu, who was standing by the stream, and asked, "What's going on?"
Tai Shi Yu replied, "A sudden decree came down from above. The Spiritual Master Guard is relocating from Cave Void Camp to another camp. That camp also has an entrance to the Heavenly Fire World - a Fire Abyss - and it's even larger."
"Relocating from Cave Void Camp? Why?" Li Weiyi asked.
Tai Shi Yu shrugged: "How would we know? Even Instructor Xue Yan doesn't know. She suspects the camp's location has been compromised, and the new recruits are being dispersed. Ah, what a waste of my Beauty Ranking! Here, I'll give it to you."
Tai Shi Yu pulled out a scroll and pressed it into Li Weiyi's hand before heading straight into the Clear Sound Pavilion.
"I've already explained everything to Green Beauty. She understands and even sympathizes with your situation."
Li Weiyi stopped him: "No inviting you in today! If you're relocating, shouldn't you be packing?"
Tai Shi Yu, ever astute, sniffed Li Weiyi and pointed at the Clear Sound Pavilion.
"Who's inside? You little rascal! You're moving faster than me! Fine, I won't go in. By the way, didn't anyone notify you about the relocation?"
Li Weiyi secretly speculated that the Spiritual Master Guard's relocation might be related to Yu Yaozi.
"Forget about me. My situation is... complicated. What exactly did you tell her? What do you mean by 'sympathizing with my plight'?"
"I just told her the truth! Back then, your Ancestral Field was crippled, and everyone mocked you. You were even driven to the brink of suicide. Your arranged marriage with Zuoqiu Hongting was nothing more than being a pawn in someone else's game, and you must have resented it deeply. But later, you refused to wallow in despair. You found a new path out of that desperate situation, step by step, enduring humiliation and striving relentlessly. You vowed to surpass everyone who had mocked you, and you swore to personally visit the Zuoqiu Clan one day to annul the marriage."
Tai Shi Yu continued, "She was fascinated by your story, especially your orphaned background - no parents, no relatives. It deeply moved her. She even said she wanted to apologize to you. Do you think my intervention was appropriate?"
Li Weiyi's head throbbed.
He promptly chased Tai Shi Yu away.
Entering the Clear Sound Pavilion, he glanced at the Beauty Ranking in his hand, then looked at Yu Yaozi standing opposite him, knowing she had overheard everything.
"Duke Tai Shi's grandson is a rare talent in your Imperial Court," Li Weiyi remarked.
