Chapter 865: Seclusion

Wangyue Lake. The sky was hazy, the Separation Fire on the Guanxie platform surged, the light flames soared into the sky, and the

He was in a good mood, nodded secretly, stepped into Mount Zhijing, sat down at the table, and with a movement of the light between his brows, summoned the 【Hua Yang Wang Yue】.

"Bright Yang spirit weapon."

Although spirit weapons and spiritual embryos were both Zifu weapons, they could not be mentioned in the same breath. Not only were they incomparable in fighting methods, but spirit weapons were also treasures passed down through generations. And Li Ximing, refining the 【Hua Yang Wang Yue】, discovered that this thing was indeed somewhat different.

Compared to the monotonous three divine mysteries of the 【Gan Shan Ganshan Fu Hai Hu】, the 【Hua Yang Wang Yue】 had five divine mysteries in his hands! Two of them were mentioned by Tian Sanglin. The main use of the 【Hua Yang Wang Yue】, the first was 【Fen Guang】, known as: breaking evil and filth, punishing the disobedient, not easily lent to others, and having killing intent upon movement.

This 【Fen Guang】 was also the only offensive means of the 【Hua Yang Wang Yue】, possessing the power of Bright Yang to break enemies. It was just that it fell very slowly. If it missed, even if the same amount of supernatural power was used next time, the power would be greatly weakened.

According to Tian Sanglin, 【Fen Guang】 was taken from the Bright Yang supernatural power 'Chi Duan Cu', so I fear the limitations also stemmed from this.

The second was 【Guang Ming】, which meant illuminating the mountains and rivers and shining upon the common people. Once this spirit weapon was hung up, it could bless oneself and friends.

Li Ximing looked slightly. This divine mystery was standard for Zifu. The divine mystery attached to the magic body was equivalent to a weaker 【Gen Tu Ling Na】. Fortunately, the restrictions were much fewer.

'The key is that 'Gen Tu' and 'Bright Yang' do not conflict, which means these two blessings can be used simultaneously, making it smoother to fight Lianmin.'

After all, 【Gen Tu Ling Na】 could not defend against the Twelve Qi and Fire Virtue, and the restrictions were too great. I estimate it would not take much advantage against immortal cultivators. Li Ximing's subconscious imaginary enemy was naturally Buddhist cultivators.

Apart from these two fighting effects, the remaining three were interesting. Tian Sanglin had not mentioned them; they could only be used when catalyzed by Bright Yang supernatural powers. What Li Ximing valued most was 【Jie Yue】 among them.

"Strong enough to look down on others, weak enough to invite disaster, capable of bearing the weight of ten thousand chariots, sweeping away all difficulties... it is not just talk. The power of this 【Hua Yang Wang Yue】 will indeed be affected by Bright Yang supernatural powers. Although it can only be considered standard at the moment, the more Bright Yang supernatural powers one cultivates, the greater the power. Taking the participation in Zifu as the boundary, anything below three supernatural powers is actually weakened. Once Bright Yang is perfected and all five are gathered, I fear this thing will not be inferior to ancient spirit weapons."

Li Ximing was both envious and bitter. He had not yet crossed the Zifu, and perfecting Bright Yang was enough to make people feel it was an extravagant hope. At the moment, he pinned his hopes on Li Zhouwei and felt secretly good.

The rest were all small divine mysteries, namely 【Tu Yan】 and 【Miu Ji】.

【Tu Yan】 was clearly just a small addition. Once the 【Hua Yang Wang Yue】 was summoned, it could add a mouthful of Li Fire to Li Ximing's mouth, which was more powerful than the one in the Ju Que Court, but the effect was not significant.

"Combined with the 【San Hou Shu Xuan Huo】 spat out, it can be considered icing on the cake."

Familiarizing himself to this point, Li Ximing was undoubtedly very satisfied, only 【Miu Ji】 made him somewhat dumbfounded.

'Jie Yue cannot be wrongly entrusted; once granted, it shows inability to control.'

This divine mystery 【Miu Ji】 had only one effect, which was that the 【Hua Yang Wang Yue】 could not be borrowed by others at will.

Whether it was a magic tool or a spirit weapon, as long as the owner of the object nodded and let go of their thoughts, they could be temporarily lent to others. This was the case when Li Ximing used Senior Kuiqi's 【Chong Yang Xia Xing Bao Pan】 back then. The owner of the spirit weapon was still Senior Kuiqi, it was just handed over to Li Ximing to borrow.

In this way, although Li Ximing was not handy enough to use it, and using a certain divine mystery consumed more magic power, he did not have to transfer the owner of the spirit weapon, which not only avoided the trouble of supernatural power infiltration but also reduced many hidden dangers. If Senior Kuiqi had to use it, he could summon the 【Chong Yang Xia Xing Bao Pan】 to travel through the Grand Void and return. If Li Ximing was unwilling to return it, the refining time would be much longer, and he could also let Senior Kuiqi find him through the connection.

But the divine mystery of 【Hua Yang Wang Yue】 interrupted the possibility of being borrowed at will. Once this object was transferred, it must be returned voluntarily by others, otherwise, this spirit weapon would be like a stone sinking into the sea.

'To think it has such a divine mystery... no wonder Tian Sanglin said there was no reason to lend it out...'

He weighed this handy spirit weapon and was naturally very satisfied. The 【Hua Yang Wang Yue】 was a level higher than the 【Gan Shan Ganshan Fu Hai Hu】 in terms of both divine mystery and power.

Although the Gen Tiger Escape of the 【Gan Shan Ganshan Fu Hai Hu】 played a significant role when Li Ximing was fleeing for his life, it seemed chicken-rib-like in daily life. He pondered secretly:

"It is not just the difference in spirit weapons, I fear there is also the difference that I am not a 'Gen Tu' cultivator myself."

As for the various methods of the 【Hua Yang Wang Yue】 such as being able to be stored in the light between the brows, being able to release bright light, etc., they were just some divine mysteries related to supernatural powers, miscellaneous, but just icing on the cake.

He stored the spirit weapon into the light between his brows, carefully warmed and washed it with supernatural powers, and the light and darkness outside intertwined. Only then did he get up and summon Li Jiangqian up.

Soon he saw Li Jiangqian holding a jade box and entering the mountain, bowing:

"Greetings, True Person!"

Li Ximing smiled and mentioned the matter of the 【Hua Yang Wang Yue】, making Li Jiangqian raise his head in surprise and congratulate him repeatedly. Li Ximing waved his hand, did not say much, and listened to his report.

Li Jiangqian opened this long jade box, revealing the pure black magic sword inside. Li Ximing swept a glance, saw the form of this magic sword, his face changed slightly, and he stood up immediately.

He first used the Immortal Mirror to ensure no one was there, then held the magic sword, looked at it carefully, and narrowed his eyes: "It is indeed extremely similar!"

Li Jiangqian nodded deeply, reported all the details before and after, and then continued:

"During the time the Lord was away... I have already passed down the order, ordering people to investigate. The four magic swords, excluding 【Hei Xi】, the remaining 【Luo Gui】, 【Fen Hai】, and 【Chong Xin】 are in the hands of Bai Yinzi, Han Li, and Song Yunbai."

"The sword of 'He Shui' is in the hands of a cultivator called Han Li. I don't know where he popped up from. I have only heard his name from the Lord's mouth, and there is no other news. I fear it is very difficult to obtain."

"The 【Chong Xin】 of 'Xuanyang Xuanyang Lihuo' is in the hands of Song Yunbai. This one is the easiest to get. Although Song Yunbai is not in Duxian, the Song family is in the territory of Huai Hun Hall. We have already obtained the portrait."

He took a scroll from his sleeve and opened it gently. He saw the wonderful brushwork of the painting, depicting a bright red magic sword. The patterns were more numerous than 【Hei Xi】, and the length was also a point longer.

Not only was the color wrong, but there were no accessories hanging from the tail end. Clearly, this 【Chong Xin】 could already be excluded.

"Bai Yinzi's 【Luo Gui】 is 'Tai Yin'. After this person parted ways with the Lord, he once appeared in the desert. We sent people to ask around twice and got news from the Zhuang family, saying he went north all the way to the river."

"As for his sword... according to Zhuang Cheng, the sword body was hidden in the scabbard, and its form could not be seen, but a corner of the sword handle was exposed, and it was gray... unfortunately... according to him... no accessories were seen."

Li Ximing's gaze sank slightly, and he said quietly:

"No accessories, perhaps it was just put away. After all, the fragment looks like an ordinary object. Bai Yinzi cannot see the true use of this thing. Perhaps he just put it in his storage bag."

"This person... must be focused on!"

"Since he passed through the desert, the Jin Yu Sect likely knows the news, but he went north all the way, so he is going to enter the territory of the Tangjin Sect... It is best to ask the Jin Yu Sect about the sword in his hand. Fortunately, this thing is a magic sword, so my family naturally has a reason to ask and exchange for it."

"The junior sent a few people over, not daring to go too far. If this thing were not a sword, I fear I would not even dare to send people over to look..."

Li Jiangqian cupped his hands and said:

"As for the north, yesterday... a Foundation Establishment of the Huai Hun Hall fell. Clearly, the Lord is already taking action. A few days ago, there was also a cultivator of Foundation Establishment level who fell in Duxian Dao. Seeing Guan Gongxiao withdrew his troops, and the demonic cultivators have already gained a firm foothold."

He took a small letter from his sleeve and said in a low voice:

"Seeing Guan Gongxiao is asking for help again, hoping my family can help."

Li Ximing was noncommittal.

Back then, Ye Huai plotted for his own family on behalf of Chang Xiao, secretly not using his full strength, and harboring ulterior motives. Li Ximing finally escaped, and although he had no good feelings for him, he always ordered his family to stabilize Duxian.

Ye Huai also had an appearance of not wanting to tear his face off. He had been safe and sound for the years Li Ximing was away, but that did not mean his strength was weak. This guy had obtained the Dou Xuan orthodoxy and still had several spirit weapons in his hands, so he was not easy to provoke.

Li Ximing still did not know where Chang Xiao was, so he decided to release some goodwill to Duxian. Li Jiangqian reported this news here, clearly also having similar thoughts. Li Ximing then said: "Reply to him, saying that he has my oral instruction, let him hold the mountain gate, and wait for a few days."

Li Jiangqian bowed and nodded. Li Ximing raised his brows and said:

"Since the Lord is Foundation Establishment, three years have passed, and the Huai Hun Hall does not have much power to parry. He is going north, and he will set off in a year or two. Pay more attention to the sword, just hope it is not that spiritual embryo."

Li Jiangqian responded and said softly: "There is one more thing to report to the True Person. Uncle Chengchi... passed away some time ago."

Li Ximing squeezed the jade cup, finally sighed, and said quietly:

"I know."

With Li Jiangqian's control over the Li clan, he naturally knew that Li Ximing had seen Li Chengchi. He immediately lowered his head, changed the subject, and continued:

"Fortunately... Uncle Zhouming finished the Lord's affairs, also took the elixir prepared by the family, and successfully broke through to the eighth level of Qi Refining. Now he is preparing to let him take that Lu Dan, break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining, and can impact Foundation Establishment."

"Good."

Li Ximing nodded to indicate, and asked:

"How is the family sacrifice? You did not seek Lu, did you?"

"No."

Li Jiangqian bowed: "Now that the Zifu array is established, we use incense for sacrifice and obtained three Lu Dans. As for the talisman seeds... most of the children in the family have not grown up. After all, there are many direct descendants of Jiangque, and fertility is not very good... the younger brothers are not married, and only Jiangzong has a baby, less than a year old."

Li Jiangqian handed over these three elixirs and smiled:

"Earlier, I wanted to receive Lu and come out to help the family, but I suffered from not having the array to cover it... Now it is not urgent. After all, the junior is only in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, and the cultivation speed is still very fast. Either impact Zifu and then receive Lu, using Lu Qi to raise supernatural powers... at worst, it is Foundation Establishment middle or late stage to seek a Lu Qi."

"Therefore, this time it was presided over by the Old Lord, and the junior did not enter the platform."

Li Ximing nodded and sighed: "Not bad. People in the world are often trapped by the hardship of cultivation in the late stage of Qi Refining and late stage of Foundation Establishment, consuming a lot of time. Only after becoming Zifu do they know that this supernatural power is the one that cannot be pushed... No matter how good the spirit elixir is, it only adds one or two points..."

Speaking of this matter, Li Jiangqian reminded:

"Since the True Person has already broken through to Zifu, Lu Dan can also be taken again... The "Sheng Ji Fa" says that this elixir can break barriers and advance cultivation, so it should also have an effect on supernatural powers."

Li Ximing pondered and replied:

"I have also thought about this matter and am considering it. Since you mentioned it, you can talk about it."

"Although I walked around overseas, I did take quite a few spirit elixirs, and the 'Ye Tianmen' has already been small-success. I still have two spirit elixirs in my hand. With such stacking, it is not far from great-success... I originally thought it would take five or six years, so it is better to save it... and leave it for the next supernatural power."

Li Jiangqian naturally understood and bowed: "Once the Lord goes north and returns to the mountain, there will inevitably be a struggle in Jiangbei. At that time, there will be many great battles, not only immortal True Persons, I fear the Buddhist cultivators in the north will also intervene... At that time, I fear it will not be so simple..."

Li Ximing stood up with his hands behind his back and said:

"Not bad... I am in a hurry to find spirit weapons everywhere, also for this same reason. It is not just True Persons in the sea, I see that both those in the sea and overseas will come to take a look. Even if the fate child cannot be divided, people like Fei Qingya are excellent spirit medicine in their eyes. Not to mention the Lord's generosity, whether it is Fei Tongcai or Bai Yinzi, after so many years, can they not get benefits? Not to mention taking advantage of the chaos..."

His expression was calm, his tone was firm, and he said indifferently: "Now that there are clues, everything else can be thrown away, but the fragments must not be lost. The matter must not be gambled. I will write a letter to Seeing Ning Wan while immediately closing seclusion to take the elixir, using Lu Dan to raise the supernatural power to great-success."

"No matter when the True Lord goes north, the time is six years and six months to return. Only when it is confirmed that he will return will this group of people take action. There is more than enough time!"

Li Jiangqian nodded, and this True Person stood with his hands behind his back:

"Fortunately, there is an East Fire Grotto-Heaven in front. There are not a few spiritual objects and spirit weapons of Bright Yang in the world, and they are even much more convenient to obtain than other orthodoxies. After this matter is finished, I must continue to inquire about the news of spirit weapons!"

"At the moment, you try your best to investigate Bai Yinzi!"

He sent Li Jiangqian down, finished writing the letter to Seeing Ning Wan, locked the great array, took out the Lu Dan, and took it wrapped in supernatural powers.

Since breaking through to Zifu, Li Ximing had taken spirit elixirs more than once. Even if it was the best spirit elixir, it only made the supernatural power stir slightly, moving bit by bit like a thin donkey pulling a heavy millstone. But after taking Lu Dan, the supernatural power in his body seemed to be connected to some aura and immediately became restless.

"Boom!"

The spiritual energy provided by Lu Dan was already a drop in the bucket for Zifu, but it was like opening some key points, and the supernatural power operated spontaneously. Li Ximing was overjoyed and hurriedly took a 【Lin Guang Zhao Yi Dan】. The magic power in his body assisted the supernatural power, releasing infinite light.
