"Brat, if it weren't for the fact that you happen to counter me, with your strength, you would have died at my hands long ago."
Wang Zhi was furious, his lungs nearly bursting with rage. He felt deeply humiliated by Li Weiyi.
Cracks appeared all over his skin, and blood flowed freely. This was a result of the overwhelming power he was channeling.
The Dead Spirit within him was bound to his physical body. If his body were destroyed, it would be like a flame losing its lamp and wick, instantly dissipating into nothingness.
Wang Zhi's face twisted into a hideous grimace as he activated a Soul Power separation technique.
Three streams of Yin-Sha Slaughter or Killing) Spiritual Qi erupted from his body, rapidly coalescing into three Fallen Spirit Clones.
Each clone possessed power comparable to a Martial-Mystic Cultivator at the Third Heaven of the Dao Seed Realm, like Ye Nanfeng.
"The power fluctuations emanating from these clones are so intense. The Dead Spirit within him must be at least at the Seventh Heaven of the Dao Seed Realm. The Twin Rice Sect has definitely mastered some secret technique from the Ancient Bhagavata Sect. Their methods are simply too heaven-defying - they can directly subdue powerful Dead Spirits and force them to serve their purposes."
Li Weiyi released six Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors to intercept Wang Zhi's three Fallen Spirit Clones.
"Clatter!"
Wang Zhi's true form conjured nine Soul Shackles, like nine writhing dragon-serpents, carrying a sky full of Yin mist as they lunged toward Li Weiyi.
Li Weiyi no longer feared him. Shielded by the Fusang Divine Tree's golden light, he unleashed golden flame branches, each clashing with the Soul Shackles.
Simultaneously, the Yellow Dragon Sword unleashed streams of Dragon Shadows, while his other hand fired beams of finger energy.
All six Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors had grown to a foot long, officially entering the Dao Seed Realm. Each displayed their unique abilities, driving Wang Zhi's three Fallen Spirit Clones into a retreat.
The Third Phoenix spewed Golden Crow Flame from its mouth, burning a Fallen Spirit Clone's soul body clean through with a piercing scream.
The Fourth Phoenix unleashed over a dozen purple lightning bolts from its eyes. After striking the Fallen Spirit Clones, their speed plummeted, becoming sluggish and emitting black smoke.
The Fifth Phoenix moved like a streak of light, using its membranous wings to slice a Fallen Spirit Clone clean in two.
The most formidable was the Second Phoenix, which had awakened some unknown innate Dao Technique. It condensed a five-colored vortex that swallowed a severely wounded Fallen Spirit Clone whole.
It had devoured a Fallen Spirit Clone comparable to a Martial-Mystic Cultivator at the Dao Seed Realm, Third Heaven.
Of course, it was only able to do so because the clone's soul body had already been burned through, severely weakening its combat strength.
After reaching Commander-level, the innate Dao Techniques of the Six Strange Insects had all reached a new level of power. Six against three, they held an absolute advantage.
As the three Fallen Spirit Clones were successively destroyed, Wang Zhi suffered a severe backlash.
It felt as if three of his soul spirits had been forcibly stripped away, leaving him weak and his combat strength severely diminished.
He immediately fled, escaping toward the Fourth Divine Son's Residence.
"Pursue!"
Li Weiyi commanded the Six Strange Insects, then slashed the chains binding Tuoba Butuo and tucked him within the Insect Pouch.
.....
On the summit of Spirit Ridge (Lingji) Mountain.
Yang Qingchan's physical body, even after a year of refinement and improvement, was only on par with Wang Zhi's.
Now, it was severely overtaxed, her white skin crisscrossed with spiderweb-like cracks.
She looked like fragile porcelain about to shatter.
Yang Qingxi was even more severely injured, bearing four blade wounds.
The most grievous of these had pierced through her Spiritual Artifact Battle Armor, leaving a foot-long blood scar across her back.
Wang Shu, having unleashed the Golden Armor Mountain-Moving Technique, was now encased in golden armor, his strength so overwhelming that even the Yin Ghost Commander couldn't withstand it. He had completely seized the upper hand, driving them to the edge of a cliff.
"If we don't escape now, we'll never get another chance!"
Yang Qingchan glanced at the precipice behind her, desperately wanting to leap off and flee.
Yang Qingxi glanced toward the Fourth Divine Son's Residence, her heart heavy with resentment. To retreat now would mean all their efforts had been in vain, and escape wasn't even guaranteed.
"Do you really think Li Weiyi can save Tuoba Butuo and Qi Xiao? You have Yang Qingchan, but I have Wang Zhi. By now, Li Weiyi has probably already fallen at Wang Zhi's hand..."
As Wang Shu's words faded, a thunderous crash erupted.
"Boom!"
Wang Zhi burst through the gates of the Fourth Divine Son's Residence, fleeing from within.
Six Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors pursued him closely, emerging from the residence in hot pursuit.
Seeing this, Yang Qingxi's eyes lit up with a smile: "It seems Wang Zhi's strength isn't as formidable as you thought."
A sense of foreboding washed over Wang Shu. Driven by Spiritual Qi, his Battle Blade unleashed hundreds of Scripture inscriptions that enveloped his entire body.
With all his power, he swung the blade toward Yang Qingxi and Yang Qingchan at the cliff's edge.
"Roar!"
A Yellow Dragon burst forth from the Fourth Divine Son's Residence.
Li Weiyi ascended into the sky atop the dragon, and in mid-air, he instinctively formed a Finger Seal in a desperate attempt.
He struck out with a finger, aiming at Wang Shu from afar.
"Wrong..."
Li Weiyi immediately realized this finger force followed a different Spiritual Qi flow than the Cihang Enlightenment Finger.
Yet, the finger force had somehow solidified!
Completely unlike the Cihang Enlightenment Finger, it was a Blazing Flame attribute power, resembling a fiery serpent that tore through the sky.
Wang Shu, having cleaved Yang Qingxi and Yang Qingchan off the cliff, didn't turn around.
Instead, he braced himself to absorb the incoming finger force with his body.
"Boom!"
The fiery finger force slammed into his back, producing a resounding clang like a struck bell.
Wang Shu remained completely motionless, sand and gravel swirling around his feet. His back still shone with a brilliant Golden Light, impervious and indestructible, his defenses utterly formidable.
He turned, blade in hand, to face Li Weiyi, who had just landed on the ground riding a Dragon Shadow.
"With your current attack power, I could stand here without moving, and you wouldn't even scratch me. Li Weiyi, haven't you even broken through to the Dao Seed Realm yet?"
Li Weiyi looked at his fingers with a puzzled expression: "The energy flow just now seemed to be the Ember Annihilation Finger Technique, the first level of the Sixfold Samsara Burning Karma Technique. But... I've never practiced it before. I just read about it for half a day. Did I really master it already?"
The Sixfold Samsara Burning Karma Technique was a Great Technique, and mastering its first level typically required a year of diligent cultivation.
Wang Shu watched Li Weiyi muttering to himself, completely ignoring him.
A nameless rage ignited within him.
He couldn't understand why Yang Qingxi, despite Li Weiyi's ruined Ancestral Field, still trusted him so deeply, even risking her life to buy him time.
"This Divine Son will now test the true mettle of this Young Celestial Emperor!"
Wang Shu raised his blade and strode forward.
His footsteps quickened.
Within ten meters, he unleashed his Dao Heart Manifestation, transforming into a golden sun radiating brilliance.
He swung his blade down at Li Weiyi with devastating force.
Li Weiyi retreated quickly, preparing to use the Ember Annihilation Finger Technique again.
This time, he would combine it with Psychic Power.
During his first attempt, he had felt his entire Psychic Power being drawn into the finger strike.
Now, he wanted to test a theory that had formed in his mind.
"Whoosh!"
As Li Weiyi's finger struck out, an illusion of the Fusang Divine Tree materialized behind him.
From the tree's shadow, streams of Golden Crow Flame erupted, coiling around his arm and converging at his fingertip.
Psychic Power, Golden Crow Flame, and finger force intertwined, coalescing into a blinding beam of light that slammed into the edge of Wang Shu's Battle Blade.
"Boom!"
The two forces locked in a stalemate for about a breath before both men were forced to retreat.
Wang Shu landed on the ground, staring at Li Weiyi in disbelief. Only he knew how terrifying that finger force had been. Its intense heat had nearly melted his Golden Armor Mountain-Moving Technique defense, and his hands, still burning with agony, felt as though his golden armor was about to melt.
"Have you mastered the first level of the Sixfold Samsara Burning Karma Technique?" Wang Shu asked, his voice strained.
The Sixfold Samsara Burning Karma Technique was the nemesis of the Golden Armor Mountain-Moving Technique.
Li Weiyi was now certain that the Sixfold Samsara Burning Karma Technique was indeed a Great Technique whose full power could only be unleashed when combined with Psychic Power.
In Buddhism, the "Sixfold" refers to dreams, illusions, bubbles, shadows, dew, and lightning.
This technique originated from the Ancient Bhagavata Sect's Psychic (Spiritual) Power cultivation method.
The version of the Sixfold Samsara Burning Karma Technique currently recorded in the Spirit Valley (Linggu) Hall could only be called the "Burning Karma Technique," and it only possessed the power of a Great Technique.
The true Sixfold Samsara Burning Karma Technique was an Imperial Technique that required integration with Psychic Power to unlock its seventh, eighth, and ninth layers.
Even An Xianjing was unaware of this fact.
In truth, Buddhism had always emphasized the simultaneous cultivation of Psychic Power and the Martial-Mystic Dao, striving for transcendence of both mind and body.
The Sixfold Samsara Burning Karma Technique was created to perfectly merge the power of Psychic Power and the Martial-Mystic Dao, unleashing their combined might.
With this technique, Li Weiyi could combine the power of a Three-Star Spiritual Master and a Seventh Sea Martial-Mystic Dao cultivator into a single strike.
Only by using this technique could he achieve such perfect integration.
Yang Qingxi and Yang Qingchan leaped up from the cliff below.
Yang Qingchan, with her powerful soul spirit, sensed the extraordinary fluctuations of Psychic Power emanating from Li Weiyi.
"What rapid progress! His Psychic Power talent is truly exceptional. He's already a Three-Star Spiritual Master."
Yang Qingxi was secretly astonished as well, her voice soft and ethereal: "The person I choose is naturally exceptional."
Many True Disciples and Elders were watching the battle atop Spirit Ridge (Lingji) Mountain.
The Double-Headed Golden-Winged Eagle's twin wings spanned dozens of meters. One head was that of a wolf, the other a turtle.
Having consumed the blood of an Ancient Immortal Giant Beast, it possessed combat power comparable to the Seventh Heaven of the Dao Seed Realm, rivaling the renowned Demon Beasts of Heavenly Cliff (Tianya) Ridge and Yin Mountain.
The First Divine Son Qiongji Daozi stood proudly on the eagle's back, his handsome features and neatly arranged hair held in place by a jade hairpin and crown. He resembled an exiled Immortal gazing down upon the mountaintop of Spirit Ridge (Lingji) Mountain.
Elder Xu, standing behind him, stared in disbelief, his eyes wide: "No way... he's already mastered the first layer of the Sixfold Samsara Burning Karma Technique? That must have been an act three days ago. He's been studying this technique all along. Incredible! His comprehension far surpasses Wang Shu's."
Qiongji Daozi replied, "In a one-on-one fight, Li Weiyi's combat power still lags far behind Wang Shu's. However, his Psychic Power cultivation is quite impressive. He's already a Three-Star Spiritual Master."
Elder Xu glanced at the Patrol Guards on the mountain path, his expression darkening: "Li Weiyi is the Southern Venerable's eldest disciple. If those Great True Inheritances or Si Kong Jingyuan and Si Kong Yanlun interfere now, they'll be breaking the unspoken rules. We should intervene to save him and earn a great favor."
Qiongji Daozi said, "Li Weiyi broke the rules himself by forcibly entering the Fourth Divine Son's Residence to rescue someone. He clearly doesn't consider himself a true member of the Divine Sect and harbors ulterior motives. He'll inevitably drag Qingxuan down with him in the future. Having Yi Zhouxue, Si Kong Jingyuan, and Si Kong Yanlun eliminate him is actually a good thing."
Elder Xu had never imagined Qiongji Daozi would think this way.
In his view, Li Weiyi's willingness to risk so much to save his friend proved he was a man of clear principles. Showing him kindness now might yield unexpected rewards later.
But there was nothing he could do. Qiongji Daozi's cultivation far surpassed his own, and he was the current head of Spirit Valley (Linggu) Hall.
He had no choice but to obey.
Qiongji Daozi's gaze fell upon the Six Strange Insects: "Everyone can see the extraordinary value of these Six Strange Insects, the Ghost Banner, and the Blood Handprint Demonic Armor. Yi Zhouxue, Si Kong Jingyuan, and Si Kong Yanlun won't let them go. We can't let them seize these treasures. We must act to collect them and eventually hand them over to Qingxuan. The disciple's legacy should naturally belong to his Master."
.....
The six Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors returned, reporting to Li Weiyi that Wang Zhi had escaped down the mountain and they hadn't been able to catch him. They hadn't dared pursue him too far, fearing capture by the Twin Rice Sect's experts.
Li Weiyi scanned the surroundings, noticing many greedy gazes fixed upon him. He felt no fear. His support extended beyond Yao Qingxuan to include An Xianjing. As long as the Golden Rice hadn't ripened, who would dare touch him?
Li Weiyi turned to Wang Shu: "One-on-one, I'm no match for you. But Wang Shu, this is now a ten-on-one situation. Your Dao Lotus hasn't fully formed yet, has it? My psychic power can sense the instability in your aura."
Yang Qingxi once again channeled his Spiritual Qi, activating the Ghost Banner. A forty-foot-tall Yin Ghost Commander materialized, advancing step by step toward Wang Shu.
Even if Wang Shu had fully broken through to the Fourth Heaven and had already condensed his Dao Lotus, he couldn't possibly fight ten opponents at once.
Without hesitation, he charged to the right, leaping off the cliff. His voice echoed back: "Li Weiyi, Yang Qingxi, wait until I've condensed my Dao Lotus and fully broken through. Then we'll settle this once and for all!"
"Wang Shu explored the Underground Immortal Mansion and discovered a secret treasure vault. He must have many resources on him. We can't let him escape,"
Yang Qingxi thought, desperately wanting to keep Wang Shu's resources for herself. But she had to share this secret with Li Weiyi through mental transmission.
Li Weiyi had never intended to let Wang Shu go.
Leaving aside Wang Shu's future revenge, Li Weiyi knew that if he couldn't avenge Qi Xiao, he would be haunted by guilt for a long time to come.
"Wang Shu, your crimes of murdering fellow disciples have been exposed. Where do you think you're going?"
Li Weiyi plunged down the cliff, a phantom Yellow Dragon appearing beneath his feet, carrying him in pursuit. Six Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors flew alongside him.
"Fourth Divine Son, we haven't finished our match yet!"
Yang Qingxi and Yang Qingchan darted across the cliff face, constantly changing positions as they pursued Wang Shu down the mountain.
