***********************************
Medicinal herbs planted in Immortal Soil grow a hundred times faster, their medicinal properties becoming even more potent.
With the help of these ten Immortal Haze-tainted Herbs, Li Weiyi felt confident he could progress swiftly and smoothly through the Five Seas Realm.
As for the Three-Colored Spiritual Soil, while it could accelerate growth tenfold, even after a decade, it would only add a century to the herbs' age. After ten years, Li Weiyi doubted he would even bother with a century-old precious medicine.
Therefore, he decided to sell the Spiritual Soil and directly exchange it for the most needed Medicinal Pills and precious herbs.
The Powerful Clans and Ancient Myriad Sects, with their century-long and millennium-long development plans, would surely pay a high price for it.
After making his decision, Li Weiyi used his Psychic Power to peel away the layers of Blood Mist at the edge of the Blood Mud Space.
Suddenly, the vast Tanggu Sea came into view, with the Fusang Divine Tree growing at the sea's edge, radiating dazzling light.
The scene before him resembled a magnificent natural painting.
Zen Hai Guanwu had already emerged from Li Ling's body and was meditating at the bow of the Spiritual Artifact Jade Boat.
Li Ling stood behind Li Weiyi, having witnessed this extraordinary and magnificent sight before, yet still felt her heart pounding with awe and shock.
Together, she and Li Weiyi sat on the Blood Mud floor and entered a meditative state.
Both were absorbing the Fusang Divine Tree's radiant light to strengthen their Spiritual Light Flames.
The Third Eye Spiritual Realm, a square inch of space between Li Weiyi's eyebrows, was completely filled with Bright Flame, its cultivation long since perfected. Now, he continued to absorb particles of light, further condensing the Bright Flame in search of the final critical point.
For two consecutive days, he remained in meditation, never leaving the Blood Mud Space or even his cabin.
Yin Shi San visited them several times at the stern, but finding the door tightly shut, he could only sigh and leave without knocking to avoid disturbing them.
On this day, the sea erupted in a frenzy as the Golden Crow burst from the depths, its radiance instantly intensifying a hundredfold, a thousandfold.
Li Weiyi felt a tremor in his brow, the pain growing more intense, and the barrier of his Third Eye Spiritual Realm showed signs of shifting.
He didn't stop meditating, continuing to absorb the particles of light.
This sensation was familiar, identical to the moment he had first opened his Third Eye Spiritual Realm.
It was the prelude to a breakthrough.
Half a day later, the pain in his brow reached its peak. The speed at which he absorbed the particles of light accelerated, until they coalesced into a river of light converging on his brow.
"Boom!"
The Third Eye Spiritual Realm, once a square inch in size, rapidly expanded - tenfold, twentyfold...
Growing larger and larger.
The river of light surging toward his brow grew brighter, engulfing his entire body in flames, transforming him into a human torch.
Gradually, the Third Eye Spiritual Realm expanded a thousandfold, from a square inch to a square foot in size.
The Spiritual Light Flame, like a pile of burning firewood at the bottom of the Spiritual Realm, was several times hotter than the Bright Flame of a Spiritual Master.
This was the "Fang Chi Earth Flame Realm"!
"I've broken through to the Great Spiritual Master!"
Li Weiyi stopped meditating, his heart pounding with excitement. His eyes, like two golden stars, shot out beams of light several feet long. He stood up, ignoring the flames burning on his body, and immediately charged toward the transparent, invisible spatial barrier between the Blood Mud Space and the Tanggu Sea.
Zen Hai Guanwu and Li Ling stopped cultivating, and the Soul Shadows of his three Masters also materialized.
They had all been waiting for this moment.
If Li Weiyi could break through the spatial barrier and reach the Tanggu Sea from the Shaoyang Star, it would be of immense significance.
This was a journey across vast distances, and it might one day allow him to travel to other realms.
"Whoosh!"
Li Weiyi pressed his hand, ablaze with the Spiritual Light Flame, against the nearly transparent spatial barrier. Unlike before, he was no longer completely blocked. His fingers slowly pierced through.
A bowl-sized hole appeared around his wrist.
The humid, scorching wind unique to the Tanggu Sea gushed through the hole, carrying the sound of crashing waves that grew clearer with each passing moment.
Li Weiyi's joy surged.
A smile spread across his face as Spiritual Light poured from his Third Eye Spiritual Realm, tearing the hole wider and wider.
The spatial rift reached the size of a basin and stopped expanding.
In just a few breaths, Li Weiyi's Spiritual Light was heavily depleted. He retreated, and the spatial rift instantly closed.
Li Ling asked, "Is this the largest Space Channel you can open?"
Li Weiyi's face was flushed with excitement as he observed the now-vast Blood Mud Space.
He laughed heartily, "With my current Psychic Power cultivation, this is indeed the limit. But it's more than enough! In a moment, I'll open the Space Channel again. You use the Spiritual Light chain to pierce through it as quickly as possible and see if you can harvest one or two Xihe flowers."
An hour later.
After three attempts, Li Ling successfully used the Spiritual Light chain, now over ten meters long, to ensnare a fist-sized Xihe flower. Before the Space Channel closed, she quickly pulled it into the Blood Mud Space.
"To think it's actually possible to reach across vast distances and retrieve an object."
Even after personally participating, Li Ling's mind was still reeling. It was simply too incredible.
The Xihe flower before her had golden, crystal-clear petals and a rich fragrance.
It lacked leaves, only long, white root tendrils.
This Xihe flower was considered small even by Tanggu Sea standards. The massive blooms, some reaching over ten meters in diameter, were far too large to pass through the narrow Space Channel Li Weiyi had opened.
The seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors had already surrounded the Xihe flower.
They previously heard Zen Hai Guanwu saying that eating Xihe would help them grow stronger.
Xihe had constantly absorbed the Golden Crow's flames for countless years, making its temperature terrifyingly high.
Li Weiyi had prepared a silver tray to place it on, but the moment the flower landed, the tray hissed and began to melt.
Li Weiyi immediately wrapped the flower in spiritual Qi and tossed it onto the Spiritual Artifact Jade Boat.
"Is this it? It feels hotter than red-hot iron. Can this thing even be eaten?"
Zen Hai Guanwu glanced at Xihe, which had fallen beside her: "It wasn't meant for humans to eat in the first place. It's a sacred medicine of the Demon Race. If humans want to consume it, they must first refine it into a Medicinal Pill to remove its Fire Poison. Only then can they swallow it to strengthen their flesh and soul spirit."
The seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors flew onto the Spiritual Artifact Jade Boat and circled Xihe, hovering between wanting to eat it and fearing to. They pushed and shoved each other, each trying to get another moth to taste it first.
Finally, the smallest but bravest of the group dove down and took a huge bite out of Xihe's petals.
"Crack!"
A crisp cracking sound echoed as it bit off a piece about the size of half a fingernail.
"What's the rush? Let it cool down for a while..."
Li Weiyi tried to stop it, but it was too late.
"Hiss!"
The little creature burst into golden flames, transforming into a blazing fireball. It let out a series of strange screams as it leaped off the Spiritual Artifact Jade Boat and plunged headfirst into the Blood Mud.
There, it rolled frantically, trying to extinguish the flames engulfing its body.
But the golden flames burned from within, making them impossible to extinguish.
Fortunately, despite its constant screams and frantic rolling, the creature showed no signs of being burned to death. Its vitality was remarkable.
Even in its infancy, an Emperor-Monarch Grade rare insect possessed an extraordinary constitution.
Zen Hai Guanwu said, "Xihe won't cool down naturally. If it did, it would mean it had lost her most valuable medicinal properties."
Li Weiyi humbly asked, "Would Xihe be considered a Supreme Yang essence?"
" Could it heal someone with a Jade Shattering Ice Soul Body?"
" And since she's not purely human, with half demon blood in her veins..."
Zen Hai Guanwu asked, "Who are you trying to heal?"
"He's probably talking about Yaoyin," Li Ling said coldly.
Li Weiyi, knowing what she was thinking, felt awkward. He was still figuring out how to describe his relationship with Yaoyin.
"I can only answer your question after I've met her and fully understood her condition," Zen Hai Guanwu replied, not taking the matter too seriously.
"Thank you!"
Li Weiyi sincerely thanked her.
Everyone, including the other six Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors, watched intently as the little creature, now engulfed in golden flames, continued to roll in the Blood Mud.
As the golden flames gradually subsided, the Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperor's body visibly grew longer.
Once the smallest, it suddenly became the largest.
This was after just one bite - its growth rate was terrifying.
"Swoosh!"
The seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors rushed forward, vying to reach the Spiritual Artifact Jade Boat. Each pecked off a small piece of a petal and swallowed it.
Immediately, the Blood Mud Space filled with the Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors' pained cries, echoing from all directions. The seven small ones writhed in agony, rolling in the Blood Mud.
After digesting the Xihe within them, their bodies and power surged dramatically. They let out joyful cries and continued to devour the remaining petals.
Then the pained cries and wails resumed.
This cycle repeated until they had completely consumed the entire Xihe. By then, the seven small ones had grown to a length of three inches.
This meant their cultivation had reached a level comparable to a Martial-Mystic Cultivator in the Second Realm of the Five Seas Realm.
Of course, with their combat strength, they could now challenge ordinary Martial-Mystic Cultivators in the Third Realm of the Five Seas Realm.
For the moment, they seemed unable to eat any more.
They told Li Weiyi that their bodies felt like they were burning with Spiritual Light Flame, causing excruciating pain.
They needed to digest this fire poison first, so he should wait a while before harvesting more Xihe.
"Someone's banging on the cabin door. I'll go see who it is. Li Ling, come with me."
After some thought, Li Weiyi decided to bring the seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors along, leaving Zen Hai Guanwu behind in the Blood Mud Space.
Back in the cabin, Li Weiyi quickly stowed the Ghost Banner and Yin Banner.
Immediately, a torrent of sounds flooded his ears: knocking on doors, gongs clanging, running footsteps, startled cries... The entire ship was in chaos, with the upper and lower decks shaking and buzzing with commotion, punctuated by the wails of infants and children.
He opened the door.
Yin Shi San, outside, was extremely anxious. He glanced at the two of them, who were still dressed fairly neatly, and said, "Enemy attack... It's the Night City Cavalry!"
"We've already seen them!"
Li Weiyi gazed at the night sky behind Yin Shi San, where countless Fire Crow Cavalry soared above the river and in the air.
The Fire Crows were enormous, their wings spanning four to five meters. Their feathers shimmered with azure flames, and they were equipped with saddles and armor protecting their vital areas.
Each Fire Crow carried a Black-Armored Warrior, all brandishing long spears and exuding an aura of Martial-Mystic Prowess.
"The Night City Cavalry comes and goes like the wind, often raiding on merchants. I never thought we'd be unlucky enough to encounter them! But don't worry. Stick close to me. If the ship's protective formation is breached, the three of us will escape together. Don't bother with the others on board - saving our own lives is the priority."
Yin Shi San added in a low voice, "Junior Brother, I have a Spiritual artifact Jade Boat. It's incredibly fast."
