Chapter 1041: Vastness and Suspension in the Void

*'Heaven and Earth Bright'*

Li Li Ximing thought secretly. Sima Si Yuanli was also slightly silent. He didn't know much about this Bright Yang divine ability, but when it came to evil nature, this 'Heaven and Earth Bright' was no less than the Seven Phases of Northern Shixiu...

*'Whether it is 'Heavy Turbidity' or 'Dipping Lead Flower', there must be a way to activate it. The operation of divine abilities always has traces, but 'Heaven and Earth Bright' controls the mind invisibly, which is hard to detect...'*

Using divine abilities to look at Qi, 'Heavy Turbidity' has gloomy Qi on the face, and 'Dipping Lead Flower' is a red group between the brows, which is very easy to identify. But just now, Li Li Ximing took away the Zhao general's mind with one sound. He vaguely saw a light brush across this person's face, but when he waited for this person to be controlled, even if he stared at it, he couldn't see any big difference. After calculating carefully, he felt one or two points of Bright Yang Qi.

*'This is a big problem.'*

Sima Si Yuanli had never used it, so he really wasn't sure if he could wake this person up, but he didn't have life divine abilities, and the probability of success was probably very low...

*'I have to wait until I have life divine abilities to easily distinguish 'Heaven and Earth Bright' like observing 'Dipping Lead Flower'. But I heard that 'Heaven and Earth Bright' is 'becoming more and more cruel, completely forgetting oneself'. In the end, even if the divine ability fades, the mind cannot be turned back. It is not easy to observe after all...'*

Sima Si Yuanli was not afraid of what Li Li Ximing would do, but he was wary of that Wei King Li Li Zhouwei... This person was added with life numbers. If the divine ability was perfect, he didn't know how weird it would be.

*'No matter what... it's impossible to bewitch me away...'*

He lowered his brows and drank tea. Li Li Ximing saw his hesitation and waved his sleeves:

"All go down."

For a time, everyone bowed and retreated. The Zhao general Li Hu Jie naturally went down together. Even when he arrived in front of the palace, he opened the palace door for Li Jiangzong and waited respectfully outside, making Li Jiangzong's expression strange, and even a bit embarrassed.

Sima Si Yuanli waited for a while and sighed:

"I don't know... how is the Wei King?"

Li Li Ximing's expression was solemn, and he replied:

"He was injured extremely heavily this time, the cave-abode was locked... I haven't been able to see him even once until now..."

Sima Si Yuanli sighed low.

Li Li Ximing looked carefully and found that this True Person was very easy, and even very convinced of his words, and his heart became strange:

*'Was it... that heavy back then? Looking at him like this, if I told him that the injury was much better, he would still think I was puffing up my face to look fat...'*

Li Li Ximing had no feeling at all. He had completed his divine abilities, and Li Li Zhouwei was also in the Sun and Moon Shining Together world. That body of black flames was soaring to the sky, the heavenly light was dazzling, the divine abilities were refined, shocking the world, and 'King Stepping on Danger' had long been perfect, and he was condensing the immortal foundation... Never mind any heavy injury, saying he could stand up now and slap a woman like Xiao Eyed Lianmin... Li Li Ximing felt there was no problem at all.

*'It seems that the 【Brother Xuan Hong Technique】 that raises the Clear Qi is powerful. After I get a chance, I must practice it too...'*

He felt strange in his heart, but his face showed emotion and heartache. Sima Si Yuanli sighed:

"Fellow Daoist doesn't know. Last year, a cave-heaven fell in the North Sea. I don't know what kind of force it was... They fought earth-shakingly. I heard that Senior Tu Long also appeared in it—now he is already in the middle stage of the Purple Mansion!"

Li Li Ximing's eyes lit up, listening to Sima Si Yuanli continue:

"This scene can be called a gathering of heroes. Originally, a sword immortal of the Sun Dao took the lead... but halfway through, a Great True Person who didn't know his name killed him. Senior Tu Long, Beihuan Sect... the Purple Mansions of the Great Great Xiyuan Xiangxiong Kingdom were all injured, and even some people fell."

Li Li Ximing frowned as he listened, but he was a little worried about Tu Long Tulong Jian, nodded silently, and Sima Si Yuanli observed him and changed the topic:

"I came today... also to entrust a fellow Daoist with one thing. This bank is full of dangers and evils. It is not easy to wait for fellow Daoist to leave seclusion. That 【Empty Sleeve Brother Xuan Dao Powder】 can finally be continued."

During the time Li Li Ximing was in seclusion, Sima Si Yuanli was not looking for others to refine elixirs. Relying on his relationships and connections, he met an old True Person on the Guoling Peak...

This old True Person also patted his chest and guaranteed, but who knew that when he finally went to get the medicine, the old man took it out happily, and he looked at it, it was actually one less than Li Li Ximing!

Sima Si Yuanli smiled on the surface, but this old man was more greedy, and his elixir refining means were not as good as Li Li Ximing's. He didn't mention it a second time, looking forward to Li Li Ximing leaving seclusion, and couldn't wait for a moment.

Li Li Ximing hit it off, 【Empty Sleeve Brother Xuan Dao Powder】 used precious materials and had excellent effects. Now that he didn't have to worry about divine abilities, how could he disagree? Naturally, he agreed.

Who knew that Li Li Ximing paused, raised his brows thoughtfully, and a purple wind blew from the front of the hall, turning into a woman in an autumn yellow robe, standing in front of the hall, revealing a slightly pale smile.

Li Li Ximing shook slightly, hurriedly stood up, took a step forward, and said in a low voice:

"Fellow Daoist Senior Tinglan!"

This woman was True Person Senior Tinglan who should have been locked in the Ziyan Blessed Land!

Back then, Li Li Ximing went to Ziyan to see her, and the first thing he felt was that she was carefully dressed and very beautiful. Now she was still in that autumn incense yellow satin skirt, but the butterfly pattern on the corner of her eyes was not dotted, and the slightly pale lip color made her look weak.

Those eyes looked much weaker. As one of the few surviving True Persons of the Sun Dao, her demeanor was very helpless, and even a bit embarrassed.

Seeing Li Li Ximing greet her, she hurriedly took a few steps forward and said:

"Can Can Zhaojing! Long time no see..."

Li Li Ximing's trust in her was actually more than that of the Sima family, and their relationship was better. Looking at her, it was complicated, and he only said:

"In the battle on the river, I have always been worried about the situation of you fellow Daoists, but the blessed land was closed, and there was no news... I don't know what... disturbed fellow Daoist today..."

Li Li Ximing was still polite to her, and his tone was very tactful. Senior Tinglan smiled back and replied:

"The monarch founded the country, the martial arts are bright, the struggle between the North and South is related to millions of living people. We, the Purple Qi cultivation Dao, naturally cannot avoid the world freely. In the future... I will have to trouble fellow Daoist to take care of me..."

Even though Li Li Ximing guessed this reason, now that he heard her say it herself, he couldn't help but feel that things were different.

*'The status of the Sun Dao collapsed, and its dignity was lost. Kui Qi would rather sacrifice himself for the Dao than see this day... Now... now she is left in this situation where the Sun has lost its glory, and she is in a dilemma...'*

The words of the two did not have any cover. Sima Si Yuanli on the side turned his head uncomfortably, the cup in his hand was raised and put down, holding back from speaking.

Senior Tinglan happened to look at him too, bowed slightly, and said politely:

"Seen True Person Qing Hu."

Sima Si Yuanli had long since broken ties with the Sun Dao, and today's Sima family had also parted ways with Mount Qingchi. Her tone was strange and indifferent, without any intimacy of meeting the descendants of the Sun Dao seniors back then.

Sima Si Yuanli hurriedly got up and returned the salute quite awkwardly.

*'It seems... the relationship between the Sima family and these remnants of the Sun Dao is clearly not very intimate... or rather, they dare not be too intimate...'*

Li Li Ximing saw it clearly, but apart from the situation of the Sun Dao, being able to see Senior Tinglan made Li Li Ximing feel a bit at ease—after all, Senior Tinglan could be counted as one of the few True Persons in the Purple Mansion who knew the roots and had a good friendship, and her means were high, so it was a good thing to take her as aid.

He only led her to take a seat, hesitantly added tea for her, and asked:

"I don't know... Fellow Daoist Wenqing..."

Since the Ziyan Sect entered the world, it was impossible for only her to come out of the mountain. Senior Tinglan said softly:

"I was ordered to enter the Immortal Ceremony Division, still the mountain master of Ziyan Blessed Land, and was ordered to guard all sides with Ning Wan. Wenqing... her cultivation is shallower, and now she is stationed in the Zhenzi Pavilion in the imperial capital, obeying the imperial order."

This was about the same as what Li Li Ximing thought, and he nodded secretly:

*'Although Senior Tinglan is also in the early Purple Mansion, her fighting method is much better than Ning Wan's. With the spiritual treasure in hand, she can also block the middle stage of the Purple Mansion...'*

Li Li Ximing hesitated slightly, the questions in his heart hovered several times, and finally he said somewhat hesitantly:

"I don't know... the great war back then... how are the True Persons..."

Senior Tinglan shook her head and said:

"Qi Qi Lanyan led people to take action. He had the 【Fei Qingya Fei Qingya Huazhi】 in his hand. I was already exhausted, and the 【Zizuo Muling Pavilion】 was heavily blocked... I couldn't abandon this spiritual treasure, so I had to take action to rescue it. I was brushed by his spiritual treasure... and was injured extremely heavily..."

【Zizuo Muling Pavilion】 was the spiritual treasure of the Ziyan Sect. Senior Tinglan probably valued it more than her own life, so it was not surprising. But her gaze was complex, and she shook her head and said:

"True Person Houfo was also surrounded by heavy encirclement, but he had more opponents, and he didn't have my good luck. He was beaten to pieces by the spiritual treasure and almost sat down on the spot... Later, he escaped back to the temple... and it was... no longer useful."

"What??!?!"

Li Li Ximing took a deep breath and listened to Senior Tinglan say:

"【Fei Qingya Fei Qingya Huazhi】 is an extremely high-level Earth spiritual treasure. Once it hits a person, both the soul and the body suffer the punishment of Fei Qingya Earth. I was able to escape a disaster... because of the protection of the Purple Qi treasure, but I was still injured by Earth, and it has not healed for many years. He even shattered his body, leaving only a little true spirit. I heard that the disciples in the temple took 【Jianyun Sang】 and made it into a wooden carving the size of a fist, letting him live in it..."

"Although his life was saved, this injury cannot be cured by anyone except Penglai. If the punishment of Fei Qingya Earth is not resolved, he will suffer the pain of skinning and bone-grinding every day and be helpless... I don't know how long he can hold on..."

Li Li Ximing was silent for a while.

The cultivators of the Great Xiukui Temple always fought for integrity and valued face, and Houfo was the best among them, valuing face extremely... But such a proud Purple Mansion True Person had now fallen to the point of living in a wooden carving and being humiliated every day...

*'I'm afraid it's even more painful for him than killing him!'*

He sighed, turned to look at Sima Si Yuanli silently. This True Person Qing Hu lowered his brows and said nothing, only caring about drinking tea.

Li Li Ximing was no longer the Purple Mansion who was not deeply involved in the world back then. He understood clearly that Senior Tinglan might not have said this to him... The greater possibility was that it was said to this True Person Qing Hu beside him, or to the Song Court far in the south...

*'The Sun Dao has fallen to the extreme, the Great Xiukui Temple is lingering, and the True Person Linggu who was cultivated is already a person of the Song Court. Ziyan and her Senior Tinglan can come out to die for the Song Court, only hoping that the Song Emperor will spare the Great Xiukui Temple... don't force him anymore...'*

Senior Tinglan emphasized Houfo's injury, which was also emphasizing his 【Uselessness】. Li Li Ximing understood, and how could Sima Si Yuanli not understand?

He still had some feelings of the old sect in his heart, and in the end, he couldn't bear it, biting his teeth secretly:

*'What can I do? Don't they know... it's just a thought of the big figures. She overestimated how free and valued I am!'*

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly stagnated. Li Li Ximing revealed a slightly worried expression and asked:

"Is your injury still serious? Let me take a look..."

The injury over the years had seriously dragged down her cultivation. Senior Tinglan's complexion was not good, and she did not refuse his kindness. It was not until Li Li Ximing pinched the divine ability and put it on her wrist that she murmured:

"'Heaven and Earth Bright'... you have already practiced it."

Li Li Ximing did not answer her, lowered his brows slightly, and said thoughtfully:

"I haven't seen the punishment of Fei Qingya Earth yet. It should have been resolved by your medicine, but it damaged the foundation of divine abilities... You need to supplement it."

He thought:

"When destroying Senior Chang Xiao, I got a copy of 【Three Branches Qi Qiuxin Leaf】. Using this thing with some Purple Qi is most suitable for healing your injuries... Let me adjust the medicine..."

Sima Si Yuanli watched from the side and said somewhat pale and powerless:

"Can Can Zhaojing's ability to refine elixirs naturally doesn't need to be doubted... My duty is in the east, so I won't bother you anymore..."

He said goodbye to the two and went out of the hall. The woman looked at his back, actually revealing a bit of a smile, turned to look at Li Li Ximing, and shook her head:

"Sima Si Yuanli is a weak character. My words actually made him embarrassed and unable to handle himself. If Li Yuanxiu were here, he would definitely be calm, drinking tea and talking and laughing. It shows that his temperament is different. 'Righteous Wood' is a Dao that is as rigid and proud as gold. How should he control the nature of Righteous Wood?"

Only at this moment did the woman have a bit of the demeanor of the past, making Li Li Ximing shake his head and laugh, replying:

"How can there be control... I think people in the world often have no life to seek gold, and have the heart to seek gold. If he is really a rigid and proud character, is his current situation a good thing?"

Senior Tinglan nodded, sighed long, and the look in her eyes became more teasing, saying:

"I just came back from Xinyu Reef. Kuangyu is already so familiar with you. She said she came to look for you twice but didn't see anyone... If she knew you had left seclusion, she would probably come over with me."

Li Li Ximing smiled awkwardly. Senior Tinglan became solemn, lowered her brows, and said:

"Fellow Daoist Can Can Zhaojing... the general situation of True Qi is completed, and all True Qi objects in the world are glowing. The 【Wuzhang Water and Fire】 in my hand has greatly improved in power, and several True Qi treasures in the blessed land have also changed, and even the Purple Qi is also glowing with color... echoing each other, there is a change of prosperity of Clear Qi, and the spiritual atmosphere has stabilized..."

Li Li Ximing had just left seclusion and missed the few years of spiritual atmosphere changes. Only then did he react, frowned slightly, pinched his fingers to calculate, and the life divine ability operated, nodding:

"Not bad... True Qi is glowing, Purple Light is shining, seeking truth and seeking immortals, the twelve Qi are prosperous, and Yin and Yang are more balanced..."

Li Li Ximing had just completed his life divine ability, and it was really not easy to calculate these. Senior Tinglan nodded with great admiration and replied:

"This is 【Vastness and Suspension in the Void】, eliminating demons and stopping evil, flying immortals and raising careers. Except for Sui Qi, the twelve Qi all have gains, and it is even more beneficial to True Qi!?"

She paused slightly and said sternly:

"Clear Qi is promoted, which is beneficial to understanding the Dao and cultivation. The spiritual apertures in the world are increased, spiritual objects and spiritual resources are born. The most important thing is... Vastness and Suspension in the Void, Brother Xuan Tao is bright, the cave-heaven dharma world is brilliant, and the world is cultivating immortal realms and opening up cave-heavens!"

"The Great Ning back then established a new system, abandoned the old name, and called it 【Zhengping Zhengping Qingwu】. The old name... was the secret transmission of my Sun Dao... In the entire Jiangnan, I am afraid only a few families know it!" ===== CHAPTER 1042 =====
