Chapter 114
"Swish! Swish..."
Wang Daozhen unleashed his trump card, spitting out flying swords condensed from magic Qi from his mouth.
There were more than a dozen of them, flying toward Li Youyi in front like a rain of swords.
Hearing the dense and sharp sound of wind breaking behind him, Li Youyi endured and endured, but in the end, he still dared not use the most powerful and recognizable Evil Camel Bell and Black Iron Seal. If his identity were exposed, there would be endless trouble.
Without the certainty of killing everyone to silence them, he dared not use the spatial power of the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish even more.
Using the Ghost Flag would have a lower risk of exposure.
But there was simply no time to activate it!
Li Youyi was forced to unleash the Clear Void Cicada-Chasing Step, using exquisite movement techniques to dodge the magic Qi flying swords behind him.
He couldn't avoid them completely, and two of them hit him. But wearing the corpse-clothing soft armor and the Night-Walking Cloak, he only suffered some internal injuries; his body was not pierced, and he could still hold on.
"Swish!"
Channeling magic Qi into his right arm, the magic artifact short sword was thrown like an arrow, flying toward Chen Jingtang on the shore, blocking him for a moment.
After landing on the shore.
Li Youyi stood in front of dozens of teenagers who had not passed the boundary of the Five Seas Realm, like an immortal mountain shielding them from the wind and rain. Looking at the spirit light fire cloud struck by the Sui Sect Great Master of Incantations, he roared: "Hurry up and go, leave this to me!"
He had to do what he promised.
Li Youyi's eyes were firm, his will like gold and iron, his hands supporting the Ghost Flag, his Ancestral Field magic Qi mobilized crazily.
"Whoosh!"
A large amount of nether mist surged from the flag surface, and a zhang-high armored ghost shadow appeared, holding a war halberd, majestic and sharp, colliding with the spirit light fire cloud struck by the Sui Sect Great Master of Incantations.
The nether mist and fire cloud collided, and this world was divided into darkness and light.
"Jingtang, the first battle must be won, and it must be a complete victory with no one left. This battle of the Spring-Gushing Realm is the first battle, and it is the key to whether we can force the Nine Li Hidden Gate to appear. Take this mid-grade magic artifact; it will surely help you kill in all directions."
In Chen Jingtang's mind, the words of the Armor Head at the time of departure sounded, and he felt ashamed.
Watching those young Nine Li tribe boys and girls escaping into the boundary of the Five Seas Realm one by one, he was both angry and anxious. How could he report back? Should he tell the Armor Head that a Spring-Gushing Realm brat had blocked all of them?
Chen Jingtang let out a long whistle and struck out the iron book, which was a mid-grade magic artifact.
"Clatter!"
The iron book was composed of thirty-five pages; the pages were sharp, rotating rapidly, turning into a sky full of whistling iron light rain and flying out.
"Bang! Bang..."
The thirty-five pages pierced through the Ghost Flag's defense.
Chen Jingtang, following closely behind the pages, threw a punch, the punch like a striking bell.
The punch caused the air to cave in, and the earth shook.
Li Youyi had just received this punch and hadn't stood firm yet when he was hit by the array-breaking whip struck by Wang Daozhen, who had suddenly killed his way from behind. Even the corpse-clothing soft armor and the Night-Walking Cloak couldn't hold on; his whole body's bones felt like they were falling apart, his body was thrown high, and he fell toward the boiling Sui River.
Wang Daozhen had risked the cost of seven of the nine runes on his treasure garment exploding to bypass Li Youyi and approach the place near the boundary of the Five Seas Realm, giving him a fatal whip strike by surprise.
"I'll give him the final blow!"
That Sui Sect Great Master of Incantations had a rune fly out from the center of his eyebrows, hitting Li Youyi just before he fell into the river.
"After taking a hit from the array-breaking whip, he is definitely dead." Although he killed Li Youyi, there was no joy on Wang Daozhen's face, because all the young Nine Li tribe cultivators had escaped into the mist ahead.
Only two runes remained on his treasure garment, and he dared not chase in.
In these few months, eight Five Seas Realm Wu Xiu had already crossed the boundary of the Five Seas Realm and burned to death. That mysterious energy around Immortal Burial Town was very terrifying, dividing the earth into different areas.
"Clang!"
The sword on Zhuang Yue's back had flown out automatically, but it was too late to rescue him.
For some reason, she felt very uncomfortable and said in a deep voice: "If the Wu Xiu of my Lingxiao City all had such responsibility and will, why worry about the rebels not being destroyed?"
Before this, Zhuang Yue could never have imagined that within a single day, her perception of a person could change three times in succession.
She said: "I'm going to kill them all!"
Jiang Ning remained calm, as if nothing in the world could cause her emotions to fluctuate. Seeing that Li Youyi had not been able to come out of the water, she said faintly: "The Four Great Sects of Li Province are not rebel armies; do you have a reason to kill them? Or do you want to force them to rebel? A reminder, we people of the Luan Terrace should not be swayed by personal emotions. Those seven exotic insects can be taken."
Zhuang Yue said: "Logically speaking, if the insect controller dies, his insects should lose control even if they don't die. Why are they still attacking those people?"
"Exotic insects are naturally different from fierce insects; it's not surprising that they have special characteristics," Jiang Ning said.
Li Youyi fell into the Sui River, which was as scalding as boiling water. Even with the protection of the Night-Walking Cloak and the corpse-clothing soft armor, after suffering a solid hit from the array-breaking whip, he was still severely injured to the point of almost losing consciousness.
What's more fatal is.
Before falling into the river, the rune struck by the Sui Sect Great Master of Incantations landed on him, and his body suddenly became as heavy as ten thousand jin, sinking rapidly to the bottom of the river, unable to return to the water surface.
At the bottom of the Sui River, magma-like golden substances were flowing; they were surging from the center of the earth.
It was these substances with amazing heat that boiled the Sui River and roasted the two banks of the river into a red desert.
Li Youyi was not afraid of suffocating in the water; he had long mobilized his Nine Springs magic power to circulate in the trace veins in his body. He was also not afraid of the scalding boiling water; the Night-Walking Cloak could resist it.
But he was truly a little afraid of the golden substances at the bottom of the river; one look and it could melt gold and iron. Let alone his mortal body?
Li Youyi forcibly supported his gradually blurring consciousness, his forehead lit up, mobilizing the spirit light fire, wanting to activate the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish to enter the Blood Mud Space to take refuge.
At this moment.
The Shenque acupoint in the navel, which had no reaction after being pricked by twelve Spring-Breaking Needles, suddenly swelled slightly, and a warmth appeared.
Then, strands of airflow came from the world and flowed into it.
Li Youyi was startled, his consciousness instantly clear with excitement.
It was not an illusion.
There were truly strands of unknown power continuously entering his body from his navel due to the internal circulation of the one hundred and eight trace veins in his body.
This situation is like a person in the mother's womb, absorbing nutrients through the umbilical cord.
And now, Li Youyi is that fetus, and the mother is the world.
This is related to whether he can open the tenth spring; Li Youyi didn't care if it was dangerous, nor did he care if he was severely injured. Even if the Heavenly King came, he wouldn't enter the Blood Mud Space.
However.
The golden substances at the bottom of the river definitely cannot be touched.
Therefore, after he activated the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish, he summoned the magic artifact jade boat of Zhu Qinfeng, the Governor of Yan Province, from the Blood Mud Space.
"Whoosh—"
The thirty-meter-long jade boat landed on the golden substances slowly flowing at the bottom of the river.
And Li Youyi's ten-thousand-jin-heavy body landed heavily on the jade boat.
It wasn't until half an hour later that the power of the rune dissipated, and Li Youyi's body returned to its original weight. He felt much lighter and hurriedly got up to sit cross-legged.
He opened his eyes.
Everything around was golden, and the water temperature was frighteningly high.
Closing his eyes, he carefully sensed the unknown power continuously surging into his navel. There seemed to be a world born within his Shenque acupoint, with energy continuously flowing in, showing no signs of stopping.
It's just that he couldn't sense this internal world right now.
Li Youyi continued to maintain the internal circulation state of his magic power, using his thought power to communicate with the three masters in the Blood Mud Space and inform them of the strange situation he encountered.
Master Can was the most excited: "That's it! This at least shows that the Shenque really exists, the tenth spring really exists, and the direction of effort is not wrong."
Master Spirit Tablet said: "According to Youyi's description, there is already a vast internal world below his Shenque acupoint, which can continuously absorb the mysterious energy of the world. In other words, this internal world is different from the Wind Mansion and the Ancestral Field; it was not opened up, but has always been there."
"It exists between heaven and man, but the channel between heaven and man is not open, so it cannot be sensed, communicated with, or used."
"What I am curious about is whether everyone's Shenque is such an internal world that already exists, or if only he possesses such an internal world?"
Master Can said: "Why think so much? Opening it is the most important thing. Break through the tenth spring, kill your way back, and even the second realm of the Five Seas can be beheaded."
Master Coffin, who had been silent, had been analyzing and thinking: "The unknown power you absorbed into your Shenque acupoint may be the Immortal Mist that fills this world."
"Medicinal materials can absorb Immortal Mist and transform into exotic medicines. Why can't cultivators?"
"Some of these exotic medicines can help pure immortal bodies transform, and some can help open the Wind Mansion, Ancestral Field, and Qi Sea. This shows that the Immortal Mist of Immortal Burial Town has both immortalization power and spatial power."
"Perhaps it is the particularity of Youyi's physique, or perhaps it is the particularity of the breathing method. So, in the state of closed breathing and entering internal circulation, he can absorb the Immortal Mist."
"To verify the guess is very simple: return to the water surface. It is difficult to see clearly in the water, but on the water surface, whether the Immortal Mist has gathered can be seen at a glance."
Li Youyi always trusted Master Coffin's knowledge and wisdom, but he was too severely injured right now, and with strong enemies surrounding him on the shore, he truly felt that the bottom of the river was a good place for healing and cultivation.
Besides, what if Master Coffin guessed wrong?
What if the absorption state at the navel position no longer appears after returning to the shore?
Related to whether he can open the tenth spring, Li Youyi was extremely cautious and unwilling to take risks. Therefore, he mobilized his Nine Springs magic power to circulate in the trace veins, and while healing, he continued to maintain that mysterious absorption state.
Regardless of whether it is good or bad, as long as there is a change, it is a huge good thing.
Five days later.
That absorption state stopped and could no longer be absorbed naturally.
Li Youyi, whose injuries had healed, put away the jade boat and swam back to the shore.
After landing on the shore.
The surroundings were unusually quiet, the white mist was vast, and the ground was endless scalding red soil; he was no longer in the boundary of the Five Seas Realm. Clearly, the flow of the golden substances at the bottom of the river had brought him downstream.
His thought power had a subtle connection with the seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors; he could sense that they were still alive and could also sense their general direction.
"These seven little guys, they wouldn't have been caught, would they?"
Li Youyi clearly sensed that the direction they were in was the road into the town that Cang Li and those Five Seas Realm Wu Xiu took. They were not Five Seas Realm; why go that way?
They were extremely fast; could Wang Daozhen catch them?
"Forget it, let's break through the tenth spring and then go find them!"
Li Youyi sat cross-legged and closed his breathing, but no matter how much his magic power circulated internally, the Shenque in his navel had no reaction at all.
"Since it cannot be absorbed naturally, let's try the Spring-Breaking Needle."
He took off his coat, took out a Spring-Breaking Needle, and pierced it into his navel.
He practiced the Jade Void Breathing Method, his state of mind and spirit returned to tranquility, and his whole body's perception and consciousness concentrated on the Shenque acupoint.
Gradually.
Li Youyi saw it!
He saw the clear Immortal Mist light fog below the Shenque acupoint, and at the same time, he saw the vast internal world unfolding in his consciousness. But this internal world, compared to the barrier of the Shenque acupoint, was thicker than the previous nine springs combined.
"Whoosh!"
With Li Youyi's regular breathing and exhaling, the Immortal Mist in the surrounding world turned into streams of rosy light, surging over and entering the Shenque in his navel.
His surroundings became brighter and brighter, the rosy colors gathered, turning the red soil into a fairyland. Every hair, every inch of skin was radiating luster, like a true immortal.
The process of Immortal Mist continuously surging into the Shenque internal world ground the barrier thinner bit by bit.
Li Youyi was extremely happy, only feeling that every passing moment, he was closer to opening the tenth spring, and he just wanted to be immersed in this state forever.
"Bang!"
A sound of battle rang out in the nearby mist.
Li Youyi woke up, first looking at his navel; the Spring-Breaking Needle had completely melted.
"It really is that the tree wants to be still, but the wind won't stop. Never mind, I'd better go to a place closer to Immortal Burial Town to absorb the Immortal Mist; the Immortal Mist is thicker, the absorption is faster, and it should take no more than a few days to break through the tenth spring."
Putting on the corpse-clothing soft armor and the Night-Walking Cloak, and then activating the invisibility power of the Night-Walking Cloak, he disappeared into the mist and rushed toward the place where the battle broke out silently.
On this road along the river, the Five Seas Realm cannot enter, so there shouldn't be any experts.
After walking about two miles, Li Youyi saw that black figure fleeing with injuries in the mist, his speed extremely fast. He was very familiar, and the aura was also correct.
It was Yin Twenty-five.
Yin Twenty-five had completed the pure immortal body transformation and was no longer the skinny look he used to have; he had a cold and noble aura.
"That's not right. With Yin Twenty-five's foundation of ninety-one trace veins, since he has completed the pure immortal body transformation, who on this Spring-Gushing road can force him to flee?"
Li Youyi didn't believe that an existence of the level of the Demon King's sixth grandson would just pop up another one casually.
"Hand over the exotic medicine, and I will spare your life."
"Amitabha!"
A deafening Buddhist chant like a great bell rang out in the mist.
Immediately following was the dense sound of hooves shaking the ground.
