******************************
Slay two Great Yin Envoys?
Who?
Chang Yujian, Lu Qing, Liu Ye, and the Daoist Priest hurried to the Space Teleportation Formation to retrieve the bodies.
On the ground lay two headless corpses and a silver head.
The four were all top-tier cultivators with decades of experience.
By the scent alone, they could discern the approximate strength of the deceased in life.
Their hearts filled with awe, they exchanged solemn glances.
Elder Qin stood beside Yu He, staring at the bodies being moved, and sighed gravely, "Two people, two swords, venturing deep into Dragon Island, facing a complex situation alone. Armed with only the brief intelligence that Envoy Zhongwu Qin Zhengyang would meet the Rice Palace's True Disciple on the Lantern Festival, they precisely located their enemies and, under the watchful eyes of many, beheaded them on the sea, showcasing the martial prowess of our Cave Void (Dongxu) Camp."
"But that's not the most important thing! What truly matters is that they acted independently, overcoming the strong with the weak, and then, through their own resourcefulness, evaded pursuit by the Taiyin Sect's True Disciples and the Army of the Dead. The mockery from other camps and the doubts from the outside world will now be silenced. The entire Cave Void (Dongxu) Camp will benefit from this victory."
"A thirty-thousand-mile escape, a journey through life-threatening peril. Even being surrounded by a million soldiers wouldn't have been as daunting."
"And somehow, he even managed to defeat Xie Wumian and bring back the critically injured Holy Commander. How did he do it? Wei Yi, did you break through to a higher realm?"
Inside the Teleportation Hall, everyone stood in solemn silence, except for Elder Qin, whose booming voice echoed through the chamber.
This time, Yu He didn't find him annoying.
She was genuinely curious about Li Weiyi and Tang Wanzhou's actions.
Initially, when she allowed them to teleport away, she truly believed they were only going to Dragon Island to retrieve a Holy Spiritual Pill.
Qing Zijin presented Li Weiyi with the Spiritual Artifact Martial Garment bracelet.
Beneath her mask, her strikingly beautiful eyes gazed at Li Weiyi with a hint of confusion.
'Elder Qin must be exaggerating,' Qing Zijin thought.
But today was the burial ceremony for thirty-four Sentinels and Sentinel Spirits. Who would dare spread false rumors on such a solemn occasion?
Moreover, the Deputy Sentinel Lord, always serious and meticulous, hadn't refuted a word.
Li Weiyi, who prided himself on being unpretentious and thick-skinned, found himself overwhelmed.
The Deputy Sentinel Lord's formal welcome, the Valiant Guard and Deputy Valiant Guard presenting them with Martial Garments, and Elder Qin's extravagant praise - it was all too much.
This deliberate elevation and flattery left him feeling anything but elated.
Under the intense scrutiny of countless eyes, Li Weiyi forced down his embarrassment and calmly replied, "I have indeed broken through to become a Holy Spiritual Master Realm!"
For other Spiritual Masters, achieving the Holy Spiritual Master Realm would mark a complete transformation of their lives, propelling them into a new realm of power and status.
But in Li Weiyi's case, no one present was surprised.
The real revelation was that Li Weiyi didn't deny Elder Qin's earlier remarks.
Chang Yujian's heart churned with mixed emotions.
He understood Li Weiyi's situation all too well, and he knew the level of power Xie Wumian possessed.
If it were him, merely escaping from Xie Wumian's grasp would be an unparalleled achievement.
The pain of being overtaken and surpassed by a newcomer, with little hope of ever catching up, was truly agonizing.
Elder Qin continued to reminisce, recounting Li Weiyi's years of hardship and training, embellishing his "heroic deeds" with dramatic flair.
He concluded, "Wei Yi, when we go outside, make sure to tell the Sentinels and Sentinel Spirits about this battle. Share every detail - the courage, the strategies, the very spirit of our Sentinels and Sentinel Spirits!"
"Cough... Elder Qin, please stop!" Li Weiyi clearly saw faint smiles flicker across the faces of Qing Zijin opposite him and Tang Wanzhou beside him.
The Shaoyang Division's Spiritual Artifact Martial Garment was a Fourth-Grade Thousand-Inscriptions Artifact, imbued with abilities such as invisibility, enhanced speed, defense, and concealment of one's life Qi, making it ideal for navigating the Nether Realm.
Furthermore, the garment's interior was inscribed with a complete set of Formation glyphs.
Any two, three, four, or more Shaoyang Guards could form a Combined Strike Battle Formation, unleashing far greater combat power when facing enemies together.
In its dormant state, the garment appeared as an inconspicuous bracelet.
When activated with Spiritual Qi, it transformed into a white Martial Garment.
"Thank you, Captain," Li Weiyi said, activating the Martial Garment to cover his entire body.
He then picked up a white mask, put it on, and strode toward Liu Tianchen, who was standing at the entrance of the Teleportation Hall.
"Deputy Sentinel Lord, I have something here. I'm not sure if it will be useful." Li Weiyi retrieved a Spiritual Paper Scroll from his Cosmic Pouch and handed it to Liu Tianchen.
"I am Xie Wumian, a spy of the Sentinel Spirit Army infiltrating the Taiyin Sect."
A faint Spiritual Light emanated from the scroll, revealing Xie Wumian's image and voice.
Liu Tianchen immediately activated a Spiritual Qi Field, enveloping both himself and Li Weiyi.
He unfolded the scroll again, examining it closely.
"Xie Wumian was never a Sentinel Spirit Army spy! But this... When Xie Wumian was killed, was there any chance information leaked?"
"I took precautions to conceal and erase any traces of Qi and spiritual energy," Li Weiyi said truthfully, "but I can't guarantee that there aren't any powerful individuals nearby who evaded my detection."
He strongly suspected that the Rice Palace's True Disciple hadn't gone far.
Liu Tianchen pondered for a moment.
"If we can definitively prove Xie Wumian was a sleeper agent, our true sleeper agents will be much safer. However, we'll need to downplay the credit for killing Xie Wumian today. Of course, you'll still receive the full Merit Points and rewards you're due."
"Excellent!" Li Weiyi exhaled in relief, glancing at Tang Wanzhou in the distance with a smile.
Liu Tianchen then intercepted Xie Wumian's corpse, instructing everyone to keep the matter secret for now.
As for Tang Wanzhou, she was forcibly arranged to appear before the Sentinel Spirits and Sentinels, participate in the day's commendation ceremony, recount the entire assassination of Qin Zhengyang, and so on - all while wearing a mask, of course.
By the time the thirty-four fallen Sentinel Spirits and Sentinels were buried, darkness had completely fallen.
Li Weiyi returned alone to his residence at the Clear Sound Pavilion beneath Blazing Absolute Mountain, where he wove a Time Cocoon to heal his injuries and consolidate his Holy Spiritual Master cultivation.
Yu'er was naturally brought out of hiding.
....
"In the Holy Spiritual Master Realm, the flow of time inside and outside the Time Cocoon is roughly one to seven."
Li Weiyi spent seven days within the cocoon.
His injuries fully healed, his spirit refreshed, and his condition restored to its peak.
He then projected the luminous shadow of the Fusang Divine Tree in the courtyard, manipulating Spiritual Light to arrange formations and inscribe runes.
He repeatedly tested the enhanced power of his Spirit Realm, preparing to enter the Fire Abyss.
"Becoming a Holy Spiritual Master must have greatly expanded the Blood Mud Space."
Li Weiyi still vividly remembered observing the Buddha's Relic under a microscope.
The full extent of the Blood Mud Space resembled a vast planet with complex terrain and unimaginable Spatial Power.
During the battle a thousand years ago, all the powerhouses of Yingzhou had first been summoned to Shaoyang Star before embarking on their expedition to the unknown realms.
"Whoosh!"
Li Weiyi once again descended into the Blood Mud ground of Shaoyang Star.
The Phoenix Blood Trees, planted like pillars in the crimson soil, had sprouted new branches and tender leaves.
The Blood Mud Space now stretched for dozens of miles in every direction, its four horizons and the sky above shrouded in a crimson haze, like a fog-draped firmament.
At the horizon, a rocky hill several hundred meters high rose abruptly from the flat, blood-red landscape, an anomaly in the otherwise featureless terrain.
Intrigued, Li Weiyi activated his Body Technique and darted toward it.
As he drew closer, he began to hear faint, dense, and peculiar sounds.
He immediately stopped, every hair on his body standing on end.
The sounds were eerie and piercing, like the wails of ten thousand ghosts or the lamentations of countless vengeful spirits, transforming the Blood Mud Space into a Nether Hell.
The yellowish-brown hill now seemed sinister and terrifying.
He remembered Yu'er had mentioned "ghosts" before, her voice trembling with fear.
Perhaps she had heard these strange sounds.
As the Master of Shaoyang Star, Li Weiyi possessed absolute control over the Blood Mud Space, able to perceive everything with a single thought.
At that time, he had dismissed her fears, assuming it was just the Cursed Abomination within her acting up again.
Now, guilt gnawed at his heart.
The Grand Palace Master was a Sword-Determined Lingxiao powerhouse who had reigned supreme for a millennium.
But Yu'er was just a young girl, her mind not yet fully matured.
Being alone in the Blood Mud Space must have been terrifying for her.
"I have to investigate this thoroughly."
"Whoosh!"
From the Spirit Realm between Li Weiyi's eyebrows, three-colored Spiritual Light surged forth.
The Spiritual Light transformed into wisps of luminous trails that spread out, probing the rocky hill.
The trails flowed around the hill and burrowed into the ground, seeking the source of the eerie sounds.
After a long moment, Li Weiyi landed atop the rocky hill, his gaze fixed with solemn intensity on the Blood Mist barrier at the edge of the Blood Mud Space.
The sounds were emanating from behind the barrier.
"This location is directly opposite the sea where the Fusang Divine Tree resides."
"Could it be that upon reaching the Holy Spiritual Master Realm and activating the Shaoyang Star, it automatically connects to another dimension?"
Li Weiyi felt a mix of trepidation and anticipation.
Using his Psychic Power, he peeled back the Blood Mist layer by layer.
Immediately, a sight never before seen appeared behind the spatial barrier.
A vast, flat stone platform materialized before Li Weiyi's eyes.
The platform seemed to float in mid-air, its edges hanging over empty space.
Its surface was etched with a grid-like pattern of grooves, resembling a chessboard, indicating that living beings had once been here, making it no desolate land.
Uncertain where the Shaoyang Star had connected to this time, Li Weiyi hesitated briefly before reaching through the spatial barrier, opening a passage, and stepping through.
In the next instant, he landed on the stone platform as lightly as a falling leaf.
A chilling aura, reminiscent of the Nether Realm of the Dead, washed over him.
Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi permeated the area, but it felt... strange.
After Li Weiyi took a few breaths, his entire body turned icy cold, his blood chilling significantly.
Still, he could adapt, and his body would slowly recover.
The eerie, piercing cries emanated from beneath the stone platform, mingling with the sound of waves.
The starry sky above hung low, as if within arm's reach.
Li Weiyi crouched down and touched the grooves of the chessboard grid.
Instantly, an ancient, profound sense of history surged into his mind.
Before him, the ten-zhang-wide grid lines glowed with an otherworldly radiance, resembling the warp and weft of the cosmos, stretching infinitely in all directions.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, two ancient figures materialized on opposite sides of the chessboard.
One held black pieces, the other white.
Their bodies radiated boundless Dao Resonance as they pointed skyward, plucking chess pieces from the starry expanse.
Their moves were lightning-fast, executed without the slightest hesitation, demonstrating an unparalleled aura of decisive authority.
When Li Weiyi recognized one of the ancient figures, his mind reeled in shock, followed by overwhelming joy: "Master!"
