Chapter 108 Opportunity

The meeting didn't last long; it could even be said it ended quickly.

Li Cheng Yi rapidly conveyed all the information he could about the truth of the world.

Then came the actual arrangements.

He arranged for Da Xiong, Rainbow Candy, and Syndra to preside over the situation on Earth and the Moon White Star side, then quickly packed his things and headed to Shao Yin through the Reverse Trace.

In fact, his identity as Wang Yichen in Shao Yin Prefecture City had been missing for almost ten years.

Yinyue Zhenren had even issued a search warrant directly.

Because even for a level like his, a closed-door cultivation would only take three to five years. A disappearance of ten years without a trace basically confirmed his death.

But the moment Li Cheng Yi returned to Shao Yin, Yinyue detected his presence through the contact jade pendant and immediately withdrew the search warrant.

Without much explanation, Li Cheng Yi returned to Qu Ling Prefecture and went into seclusion again.

No one asked him where he had gone, and even Yinyue herself only inspected him slightly before saying anything more.

Clearly, Yinyue had a very high tolerance for her disciples; as long as they were alive and hadn't betrayed the sect, everything else could be ignored.

This saved Li Cheng Yi the effort of explaining his reasons.

Time accelerated, and time flew by.

Everything returned to calm, and eight years passed in the blink of an eye.

Dark clouds filled the sky.

Northwest of Qu Ling Prefecture.

Tens of thousands of soldiers, led by martial generals, swarmed towards the opposite side like locusts.

Black armor against black armor, the main difference between the two sides was the large blood-red characters on their armor, Shao Yin on one side and Tu Shan on the other.

Amidst the deafening sounds of battle, martial generals either surrounded themselves with true qi or unfolded three-to-four-meter-tall blood bodies, charging straight ahead and slaughtering at will.

After a round of charging, the soldiers and generals on both sides began to fight each other one-on-one.

Higher up, at the locations of the flags on both sides of the battlefield, experts at the commander level were stationed to oversee the situation.

On the Shao Yin side, there were two people standing on a temporary observation platform, dressed in casual clothes, looking into the distance.

"This Tu Shan is still incorrigible. Even after suffering several losses, they dare to invade again. Where do they get so many good soldiers and manpower?"

Also a disciple of Yinyue Zhenren, Yin Shen Yun Shan stood with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance. Although he wore a jar on his head, it didn't seem to affect his vision at all, and he could still see the current situation of the battlefield.

Beside him was a tall man with short black hair, wearing a simple black velvet robe, open to reveal his strong chest muscles.

The man's eyes were light gold, and he had two gray-white antlers on his forehead. Sparks of fire occasionally flew out of his mouth and nose. It was Li Cheng Yi who had come from Earth.

In eight years, he had finally cultivated the Void Night Walk and all three of the Yin Canon's techniques to the extreme, only one step away from integrating the seals into his body. But what puzzled him was that no matter how he integrated the seals, he couldn't cross this step.

This step from four seals to five seals seemed to be blocked by a huge wall, not allowing anyone to cross it easily.

At first, he thought it was because his cultivation was insufficient and that he could break through as long as he accumulated enough power, but later he realized that it wasn't a matter of cultivation.

With eight years of accumulation, his blood essence cultivation was equivalent to more than a thousand years of cultivation for others. Even if he divided it equally among the four cultivation methods, it would be enough to master them all.

But he was stuck at the last step, unable to continue. The integration of spirits couldn't form a seal, which meant he was still stuck at four seals.

Now he seemed to understand why, on the Earth side, only Xu Meng in the Far Shadow organization was at five seals, while the rest were only at three or four seals.

"This time, Xu Jingting is here. Among the nearby prefecture cities on the Tu Shan side, the only one who can compare with you is this person." Yun Shan glanced at Li Cheng Yi.

"It's just a formality. If Senior Brother is bored, you can go back and rest for a while." Li Cheng Yi said casually.

Up until now, everyone was just playing house, and the real fighting was being done by the people below. No Yin Shen-level expert dared to act rashly.

"It's okay, I have nothing to do when I go back, and resting is boring. Master took Senior Sister to the Night Sea to hunt alien beasts, and I don't have a good relationship with Tian Can in the city." Yun Shan said. "But you, Junior Brother, have made such rapid progress in the past few years. No wonder Master values you as a top genius!"

"Senior Brother, you flatter me." Li Cheng Yi smiled faintly. He pulled out a command flag from a cylinder on the side and threw it out.

The command flag soared into the sky, ignited by blood essence, and exploded into a silver firework.

Immediately afterward, a series of ear-piercing metallic sounds rang out. This was the signal to retreat.

The Shao Yin army on the battlefield stopped fighting and withdrew.

The Tu Shan army on the opposite side also retreated in tacit agreement.

Everyone had been fighting for three years and had already developed a tacit understanding. After such a long battle, only a few dozen people had died.

This was mainly due to the damage caused by those reckless martial generals charging around.

On the platform, Li Cheng Yi saw that several martial generals on the other side were roaring and trying to rush forward.

It was indeed easy to get carried away in blood body form.

"Impudent."

He raised his hand and gently pointed.

A gray-white blood essence, like a sharp arrow, flew out in an instant, dividing into four, hitting those martial generals with the terrifying speed of fifteen times the speed of sound.

Puff puff puff puff!

The four of them were hit in the chest at the same time, and their bodies, riding on alien beast bloodline warhorses, froze in place.

Boom!!

In an instant, a neat explosion rang out.

Countless gray-white bone spurs grew out of the four people's bodies at the same time.

Large patches of bone spurs pierced outwards from the inside, turning the four into leaky blood bags.

Fresh blood splattered and fell to the surrounding ground, corroding the black soil with bursts of white smoke.

Some soldiers who were caught off guard were affected, and their bodies immediately smoked, swelling and enlarging. All the bone in their bodies rapidly grew thicker, squeezing their flesh and internal organs into a paste. Their skin was also stretched and torn, revealing patches of strange wounds.

They screamed and rolled on the ground, but only lasted a few seconds.

"This is a warning." Li Cheng Yi's voice was transmitted to the opposite side.

"Humph!" The Nether Commander of Tu Shan responded, but did not retaliate. Those four had indeed broken the tacit agreement between the two sides.

The sound of gongs rang out at the same time, and both sides ceased fighting and retreated.

The soldiers' formation and retreat were handled by the generals below, while Yun Shan and Li Cheng Yi stepped down from the high platform and returned to the nearby temporary military camp tent.

"Speaking of which, Bai Lu, you have already reached the True Seal limit, right?" In the tent, Yun Shan set up a stove, asked Li Cheng Yi to spit out a mouthful of fire to light the charcoal, and began to brew tea.

"Yes, I have reached a point where I can't progress any further." Li Cheng Yi sighed, nodded, and didn't hide anything.

"True Seal limit means you've reached the eve of the Cloud Roaming realm in the Yin Canon. At least four seals… That's really exaggerated." A trace of envy flashed in Yun Shan's eyes.

"We are only barely condensing the third True Seal now, and you, this guy, have surpassed us and reached four seals. It's really unfair."

"What is fairness in this world? Even if there is, it would probably have been wiped out by the National Master or Master with a single palm. How can our fate be controlled by external forces?" Li Cheng Yi said faintly.

"Well said! No wonder Master is becoming more and more fond of you and often asks us to learn from you. Putting aside everything else, just this spirit is not something that trash like Tian Can can compare to. That guy is still only at two seals and is making slow progress." Yun Shan mocked.

"Senior Brother, can you stop always saying good things? Can you give me some pointers on how to break through next?" Li Cheng Yi said helplessly.

He had been stuck here for a long time and had tried various methods, but none of them had worked.

"Didn't you ask Master? What did he say?" Yun Shan was speechless. "I'm just a guy who barely has three seals. Isn't it a bit too much to ask me questions of this level?"

Recently, because of Junior Brother Bai Lu's terrifying cultivation speed, it had stimulated them, the senior brothers and sisters, so everyone had started to work hard.

If Bai Lu hadn't disappeared for almost ten years before, delaying him for ten years, Yun Shan really wouldn't have been able to break through to three seals now and cultivate the third blood essence martial art.

It was just a pity… Bai Lu was a monster and was now at the four seal limit.

Although the number of True Seals below five seals can't be considered an absolute comparison of strength, this speed is too exaggerated.

"Master did mention it, but I didn't understand." Li Cheng Yi said helplessly. "He said, 'Be patient and steady, and when it's full, it will continue.'"

"Isn't that the same as nonsense?" Yun Shan was also speechless.

Because of Yinyue Zhenren's words, he kept in mind to have a good relationship with Junior Brother Bai Lu. So over the years, the relationship between the two had become better and better, and they had exchanged a lot of important information during their chats.

"Who says it isn't…" Li Cheng Yi said helplessly. Just as he was about to complain, the jade pendants around their waists lit up with purple light at the same time.

Yinyue Zhenren's voice sounded quietly.

"Bai Lu, come back. The opportunity for you to break through has arrived."

Clap.

Li Cheng Yi's eyes widened, and he suddenly stood up, turning into a black light and disappearing.

Yun Shan was still holding the teapot, preparing to pour tea. Hearing the sound, he quickly stood up, ordered the people below to retreat, wrapped himself in blood essence, and turned into a red light, shooting away and disappearing.

Qu Ling Prefecture, Tianju Pavilion.

Fallen leaves fluttered, and the ground was covered with yellow leaves.

In the courtyard, Yinyue was sitting opposite a gray-white Taoist nun. There was a chessboard between them, shining with white light, and the black pieces on it moved automatically from time to time.

Soon, Li Cheng Yi and Yun Shan entered the courtyard one after another. Tian Can, Du He, and Qiu Ming had all arrived.

All the Yin Gods of the Yinyue lineage had gathered here.

Clearly, some major action was about to begin.

"Senior Brother, everyone is here. Time is precious, let's begin." The white-robed Taoist nun said softly.

"Junior Sister Guangli is still so impatient." Yinyue chuckled.

"It's rare to have the opportunity to observe the breaking of the God Limit, so I'm naturally a little anxious." The woman smiled. Her eyebrows were gentle, and her temperament was like that of a bodhisattva in a temple, with a strange aura of solemnity.

With a wave of her hand, three female figures instantly appeared in the courtyard beside her.

The three women knelt and saluted, calling her Master.

"Today, Senior Brother Bai Lu of Uncle Yinyue's lineage is about to break through the God Limit. Observe carefully, and it will benefit you in the future." The female Taoist priest instructed softly.

The three women responded in unison.

Yinyue on the side had already stood up and appeared in front of Li Cheng Yi in a flash.

"Bai Lu, the reason why you can't break through to five seals is not because of your own reasons, but because the composition of this world itself can't nurture such a powerful individual."

"Simply put, it's because there aren't enough nutrients, and the most crucial element is missing."

He looked at Li Cheng Yi, who seemed to be deep in thought.

"Today, the opportunity for the world has arrived. I will take you to break through this cage of heaven and earth!"

He waved his sleeve.

Immediately, the surrounding area was filled with red light, and countless rays of light wrapped around the entire courtyard.

Chih!

Suddenly, there was a soft sound, and a sense of dizziness that made everyone feel dizzy passed by.

When everyone came back to their senses, the courtyard was surrounded by a dark void.

Countless black qi rolled and surged outside the courtyard walls like living things.

The sky was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.

A sense of threat, as if all their clothes had been stripped off, surged into everyone's hearts.
