Half an hour later, the discussion concluded.
Outside the camp, Li Weiyi bid farewell to Changyu Jian, Lu Qing, and Liu Ye before catching up to Qing Zijin. "Captain, I'd like to ask you something!"
Qing Zijin stood gracefully against the wind, her flowing robes resembling a cloak of azure clouds.
After Tai Shi Yu's explanation, her attitude toward Li Weiyi had softened.
"Speak," she said.
"You're quite close to Nangong Xiaowei, aren't you?" Li Weiyi asked.
Qing Zijin glanced toward the camp, spotting Bai Chuan and Nangong standing together.
Enveloped in Spiritual Qi, they seemed to be engaged in a private discussion.
Qing Zijin began walking down the mountain.
"If you have something to ask her, just ask her directly. Why ask me?"
"We're not close enough for me to ask sensitive questions without being presumptuous," Li Weiyi replied.
Li Weiyi cut straight to the point: "Is Nangong Xiaowei connected to the Void Ruins Ancient Kingdom?"
"What makes you think I'd reveal such secrets to you? Are we that close?" Qing Zijin retorted.
Li Weiyi's skin was thick: "Given your personality, Captain, you wouldn't answer my questions so readily if we weren't close. Alright, alright, let's get serious. No one can withdraw from the Void Ruins Ancient Kingdom's annual assessment now. But are you truly comfortable entrusting your life to them?"
His words struck Qing Zijin's heart instantly.
"The Immortal Realm Earthly Ranking and the Hundred Realms Immortal Competition are both imminent," she said, "Only by entering the Void Ruins Ancient Kingdom can we possibly close the gap of ten, even a hundred years in cultivation. Some seek fame, others profit, but most are driven by desperation."
"Do you think Changyu Jian and Xu Daoqing willingly risk their lives? Their factions are forcing them into this. The Hundred Realms Immortal Competition involves stakes far greater than anyone imagines."
Li Weiyi asked, "What about you, Captain?"
"I'm after... the Nether Soul Divine Essence."
Qing Zijin's eyes, visible beneath her veil, met his, "Only by obtaining the Nether Soul Divine Essence can I rapidly nourish my soul. Five hundred years for spring, five hundred for autumn - the Nether Souls are native to the Void Ruins Ancient Kingdom."
"But you're a Spiritual Master," Li Weiyi pointed out, "What if your Spiritual Light runs out in the Netherworld?"
"I have my ways," Qing Zijin replied.
"How about we form an alliance?" Li Weiyi suggested.
Qing Zijin looked at him, puzzled: "What kind of alliance?"
"Mo Duanfeng, Bai Chuan, and Tang Wanzhou will undoubtedly have trump cards, but we can't go in unprepared. After all, we're the weakest here. Do you really think people won't turn selfish when their lives are on the line?" Li Weiyi pressed.
Qing Zijin's eyes narrowed with suspicion.
"Why are you so scheming? What preparations are you planning? Why seek an alliance with me? You're close to Changyu Jian and Liu Ye - why not approach them instead?"
"Because you can control corpses and find powerful remains," Li Weiyi finally revealed his purpose, "And I'm a master of the Puppet Technique."
Qing Zijin flatly refused, turning to leave.
"Don't even think about it."
"Captain, the Immortal Haze (Xianxia) Sect has already fallen; its members have become withered bones. If those Seniors knew their remains could still protect you, they'd gladly shatter their bones for the cause. As Spiritual Masters, we'll be at a severe disadvantage in the Netherworld without proper preparation. Think it over and come find me. I'll be waiting for good news at the Clear Sound Pavilion."
Li Weiyi watched her retreating figure, his smile fading.
He then visited the Scripture Pavilion, borrowed a detailed book about the Void Ruins Ancient Kingdom, and returned to the Clear Sound (Qingyin) Pavilion.
Entering the Blood Mud Space, Yu'er hurried over with a letter.
"Master, the Grand Palace Master left you a message!"
Li Weiyi had already explained the Grand Palace Master's situation to Yu'er.
Given Yu'er's current age and the strange events she had experienced, she had accepted everything.
Li Weiyi took the envelope and unfolded the letter: "The Void Ruins Ancient Kingdom is a dangerous place. When I went there for training, the Mist Master only gave me one Divine Sword Talisman to protect myself. Today, I'm giving you one as well. If you encounter danger, don't bother me."
"A word of advice: I never used that Divine Sword Talisman back then, and when I returned, the Mist Master praised me. When facing challenges, rely on your wisdom, plan ahead, discern fortune from misfortune in advance, and always have a backup plan. Don't depend on others' strength."
"All cultivation is about honing your ability to solve problems."
Li Weiyi searched the envelope but found no talisman.
Flipping the letter over, he finally spotted a tiny sword-shaped mark on the back.
"The Grand Palace Master has a cute side too," Li Weiyi murmured with a smile.
He said this because the letter implied that if he went to the Void Ruins Ancient Kingdom and didn't use the Divine Sword Talisman, the Grand Palace Master would praise him upon his return.
"Aren't I the Grand Palace Master already? Does Master not find me cute?" Yu'er feigned annoyance, turning away from him.
"You'll be the Grand Palace Master in the future... Of course, Yu'er is the cutest! The Grand Palace Master probably wasn't as adorable as you were as a child. Zen Hai Guanwu only cared about the Grand Palace Master's cultivation; she wouldn't have known how to raise a child."
Three thousand years ago, Zen Hai Guanwu had already slain the Flying Dragon in the East Sea, achieving the cultivation level of a Martial-Mystic Dao Heavenly Emperor.
She wouldn't have cared for her so attentively as Li Weiyi.
Though she occasionally went without food, was sometimes confined to the Blood Mud Space, and was occasionally locked in her room.
With only three days until departure, Li Weiyi began racing against time.
Activating the Cocoon of Time, he stripped off his upper garment, revealing a well-proportioned physique radiating masculine beauty.
Seated in a meditative posture, he retrieved the remaining Six-Clawed Immortal Dragon Qi and the Immortal Pill, preparing them for use.
Over the past six months, Li Weiyi had meticulously calculated that his total time spent comprehending the True Scripture within the Cocoon of Time amounted to just over two years.
He had already cultivated the Divine Pivot Dao Fruit to the peak of the Ninth Heaven, mastering 28,000 scriptures.
The Wind Mansion Dragon Seed had been refined into a Immortal Golden Core, containing over 20,000 scriptures.
"Using the Immortal Golden Core from the Wind Mansion Dragon Seed as a Immortal Core to further advance the Divine Pivot Dao Fruit."
Li Weiyi ultimately decided to follow Yu Yaozi's advice.
After half a day of calming his mind and confirming his decision, he acted without hesitation.
"Whoosh!"
The Wind Mansion Space trembled, erupting in golden radiance as countless Dragon Shadow Spiritual Qi surged forth.
The Cocoon of Time shuddered violently, threatening to shatter at any moment.
The Golden Core formed from the Dragon Seed slowly floated out, hovering before Li Weiyi.
Tiny, densely packed scriptures flickered across its surface, releasing overwhelming energy.
Li Weiyi clasped his hands in a gesture of reverence, focusing on his Divine Pivot acupoint.
Wisps of Immortal Haze Radiance Spiritual Qi emanated from this point, enveloping the Dragon Seed Golden Core and gently drawing it toward his navel.
Simultaneously, torrents of Seven-Clawed Flame Heavenly Dragon Spiritual Qi surged from his Wind Mansion acupoint, converging wildly toward the Divine Pivot.
The Divine Pivot, boundless and infinite, served as Li Weiyi's inner space, visible to him wherever the Immortal Haze Radiance could reach.
"Boom!"
The instant the Dragon Seed Golden Core entered the Divine Pivot, a violent repulsion erupted, like two mortal enemies meeting.
Even before contact, their incompatibility was palpable, like fire and water.
Li Weiyi understood that this wasn't the Divine Pivot Dao Fruit rejecting the Dragon Seed Golden Core, but rather the Martial-Mystic Path Intent cultivated during the Dragon Seed Golden Core's formation clashing with the Martial-Mystic Path Intent cultivated during the Divine Pivot Dao Fruit's creation.
Fortunately, both Intent were still weak in the Dao Seed Realm.
Had this occurred in the Immortal Realm or Other Shore Realm, attempting to have one Dao devour the other would have been an extremely dangerous undertaking.
Under Li Weiyi's control, the Dragon Seed Golden Core and Divine Pivot Dao Fruit stabilized.
He then manipulated the Immortal Haze Radiance to refine the Seven-Clawed Flame Heavenly Dragon Spiritual Qi, infusing the radiance with a golden sheen.
The Divine Pivot Dao Fruit gradually transformed into a Immortal Golden Core, its surface increasingly adorned with cyan-gold patterns.
The scriptures on the Dao Fruit seemed to be undergoing constant refinement.
Time passed day by day.
The scriptures on the Dragon Seed Golden Core detached, nourished within the Immortal Haze Radiance, and continuously imprinted themselves onto the Divine Pivot Dao Fruit.
The Divine Pivot Dao Fruit was immensely powerful, and its transformation into a Golden Core required vast amounts of energy.
The Dragon Seed Golden Core alone was insufficient.
Li Weiyi immediately consumed the Immortal Pill and continuously absorbed the Six-Clawed Immortal Dragon Qi stored in various vessels.
Nine days later (within the Cocoon of Time).
The Seven-Clawed Flame Heavenly Dragon Qi within the Wind Mansion had completely transformed into Immortal Haze Radiance.
The Dragon Seed Golden Core dimmed completely, dissolving into particles of luminous sand that vanished into nothingness.
The Divine Pivot Dao Fruit expanded in size, completing its metamorphosis into the Immortal Golden Core. Its cyan-gold radiance illuminated the deepest reaches of the dark void, greatly expanding the visible space within the Divine Pivot.
The internal ethereal light surged endlessly within.
At times, twelve towering, mountain-like sacred silhouettes appeared at the edge of the world.
At other times, Tai Chi diagrams and Buddhist Dao Imprints rotated across the heavens and earth.
Occasionally, luminous starlight rose.
At times, a massive Seven-Clawed Heavenly Dragon circled the Golden Core in flight.
At other times, thunder and lightning tore through the heavens and earth, striking the Ancestral Field.
....
Li Weiyi could hear Buddhist Chanting, dragon's roar, and thunderclap, and see Dao Scriptures and countless secret seals.
During his years of cultivation within the Cocoon of Time, he had studied countless scriptures.
The Divine Pivot was a chaotic expanse where myriad Daos coexisted.
Amidst this chaos, only the Immortal Golden Core at its center remained eternal and unchanging.
Li Weiyi had a premonition: if he could one day discover the origin of Dao Techniques among these myriad Daos, comprehend his own Great Dao, he could cleave through the chaos, split the heavens and earth, and ascend to the supreme realm.
"Whoosh!"
Li Weiyi channeled a wisp of Spiritual Qi, transforming it into an Immortal radiance that streaked across the Divine Pivot and struck the Dao Sword Qi Tang Wanzhou had left within his Wind Mansion.
With a hiss, the sword qi shattered and dissipated.
He couldn't have achieved this when the Wind Mansion Dragon Seed transformed into the Immortal Golden Core, nor when his Divine Pivot Dao Fruit reached the peak of the Ninth Heaven.
But now, he had done it!
At this moment, Li Weiyi was certain that his strength had finally reached the level Tang Wanzhou had possessed when she left the sword qi.
He now possessed the power to transcend realms and defeat True Disciples of the Ancient Sect.
After all, At that time, Tang Wanzhou was definitely not at the early stages of the First Realm.
"With one burst of Spiritual Qi! Let's see if I can break free from the Heavenly (Qiankun) Shackle and enter the Immortal Realm."
After more than two years of attacking the Cosmic (Heavenly or Qiankun) Shackle, the Shackles on Li Weiyi's back had thinned to half their original thickness.
The instant Li Weiyi shattered the sword qi...
In the courtyard of Clear Sound Pavilion, Tang Wanzhou sat cross-legged beneath the moonlight, her back ramrod straight, her sword resting across her knees.
A gentle breeze brushed her face, stirring a subtle tremor in her heart as she glanced at the tightly closed gate in the distance.
"Has he broken through to Immortal Realm?"
Tang Wanzhou had arrived yesterday!
It was Big Phoenix who opened the door.
