Inner Star Sea.
Fire Mulberry Island, at the underground Ancient Teleportation Array.
"Fellow Daoist Jin Yuan, you should Cultivate your secret technique here and only come out when you have achieved Major Achievement in your Cultivation."
Jin Yuan nodded, smiling, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Li."
Li Feiyu followed the passage steps, exiting this hidden place.
He stayed above the island, his Divine Sense spreading, sweeping across the entire island.
He had been away for nearly a year; everything on the island was as usual, and the population of Cultivators was growing.
Even Tianwuzi and Elder Liu now found it difficult to detect his Divine Sense.
He smiled faintly, then silently returned to his Immortal Cave palace, entering seclusion to study what he had gained from the Five Element Immortal Cave and then refine the Formation diagrams.
Time flew by, and another year passed.
Li Feiyu finally perfected this Great Five Element Formation diagram.
With his current Realm, although it was difficult to make further progress, Li Feiyu knew that the Five Element Dao was profound, and he had only just embarked on this path.
A five-colored silk cloth, emitting five-colored light, floated before him, covered in intricate patterns, with a miniature five-colored small mountain at its center.
That's right, Li Feiyu had re-refined that five-colored small mountain, turning it into a Sumeru Five Element Mountain, which fused with the Formation diagram to suppress numerous great Formations.
It must be said that there were many Heaven And Earth Treasure in ancient times.
This Sumeru Five Element Mountain itself contained numerous top-grade Materials and high-grade Materials.
Combined with current Artifact Refining techniques, after re-refining, its power was no less than that of a top-grade ancient Magic Treasure.
With the perfection of the Great Five Elements Sword Formation, Li Feiyu no longer had any shortcomings in offensive methods; this single item was enough to surpass many powerful Magic Treasure, making it his true core Magic Treasure.
After he emerged from seclusion, Han Li had already left Sangxing Island, reportedly to travel and seek an opportunity to Breakthrough his Bottleneck.
Wen Siyue and Gu Changyang were already living together.
Li Feiyu came to Yaoer's Immortal Cave, and Yaoer was quite surprised to see him, "You're out of seclusion?"
Li Feiyu nodded, "I came to see how your progress is."
"late stage Core Formation, not bad. Nascent Soul is within reach within a hundred years."
Yaoer's autumn eyes looked into Li Feiyu's, and she sighed, "Easier said than done."
"I'll help you."
Seeing the look in his eyes, Yaoer knew what Li Feiyu was planning, but she did not refuse.
Dual Cultivation with a high-level Cultivator also had benefits for herself.
Moreover, this was something she had already agreed to, and she also had a special affection for Li Feiyu.
After a period of intimacy and passionate activity, half a day had passed.
Li Feiyu dressed neatly, looking back at the peerless beauty on the bed with skin as white as snow, and said, "While a Cultivator's arduous Cultivation is necessary, one must still pay attention to tempering their Heart-Nature and will."
"There will be a Heart Demon Tribulation during the process of forming a Nascent Soul; you must be careful. If there's anything that needs to be resolved, go resolve it; this will greatly reduce the power of the Heart Demon Tribulation."
Yaoer extended her slender jade hand, and a light veil as thin as a cicada's wing automatically draped over her, followed by a light green palace dress.
"I know. Recently, I plan to return to the Xing Family."
Li Feiyu nodded, "Go back if you want; I won't restrict your freedom."
Exiting the Immortal Cave, Li Feiyu concealed his aura and flew out of the island. He naturally had a back door in his own great Formation, easily passing through without attracting anyone's attention.
He flew all the way, reaching the place where he had originally been teleported in less than half a day.
Li Feiyu attempted to relocate the entire Ancient Teleportation Array but did not succeed because he found that doing so would cause the Ancient Teleportation Array to lose its original function.
This made him quite helpless.
There was no other way, so he had to set up a small Great Five Element Formation around the Teleportation Array, integrating the essence of various Five Element Formations.
It had clearly become a great Formation of Li Feiyu's own creation.
Although this was only a simplified version, it still possessed the functions of Five Element mutual generation, illusory concealment, and automatic absorption of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to maintain the operation of the great Formation.
Furthermore, Li Feiyu buried three high-grade Spirit Stones of each of the Five Element, thirty mid-grade Spirit Stones, and three thousand low-grade Spirit Stones beneath the great Formation.
Even if discovered by a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, as long as it wasn't a Middle Stage or Late Stage Great Cultivator continuously attacking, it would be enough to last for several months.
Afterward, Li Feiyu began to repair the Ancient Teleportation Array.
Fortunately, only a small corner was damaged, so repairing it was not difficult.
Li Feiyu wanted to try using the Great Shifting Token, but thinking that if the great Formation on the other side was damaged, his rash action would be unwise, so he gave up.
After some hesitation, he added another Five Element killing Formation to the innermost layer, connecting it with the other great Formations.
Without a special hand seal, the killing Formation's power was enough to kill even an Early Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator.
Dealing with these matters took Li Feiyu half a month.
He returned to Fire Mulberry Island; Yaoer had already left. Li Feiyu came to Zi Ling's Immortal Cave.
"Fellow Daoist Li, why have you come?"
"I came to see how Fairy Ziling is living here."
"It's very peaceful; I like it very much."
"Would you like to go out and play together?"
Fairy Ziling sized up Li Feiyu, then smiled charmingly, like the spring light of March, infinitely beautiful.
"With a Great Cultivator like you by my side, I couldn't ask for more."
Li Feiyu's heart stirred. He summoned Crimson Crow, and the two of them rode on Crimson Crow, flying into the distance.
Crimson Crow's back was extremely wide. Li Feiyu stroked it with his palm, and a jade stone square table appeared. On the table was a pot of tea and two white jade teacups.
He took out four or five tea leaves, which drifted into the two teacups.
The lid of the teapot opened, and two streams of water circled in the air before falling into the teacups.
Li Feiyu flicked his finger, and two red lights slowly rotated around the teacups. Before long, steam began to rise from the teacups, and a strange tea fragrance wafted out.
"This is a rare treasure I obtained during a recent outing, from a tens of thousands of years old Five-Colored tea tree. It has the effect of comprehending the Dao and increasing Cultivation, and the first taste has an even more miraculous effect."
Zi Ling's beautiful eyes sparkled. A tens of thousands of years old Five-Colored tea tree, it must be comparable to an immortal-grade item.
She looked at Li Feiyu for a while, then cast her gaze upon the teacup in front of her. Besides the strange tea fragrance that refreshed her, the steaming hot Qi, like spiritual mist, was filled with Spiritual Qi.
Zi Ling asked in surprise, "This tea water…?"
"This is not ordinary water, but Spiritual Qi transformed into mist, and then mist transformed into Dharma Treasure Liquid. This small cup is comparable to the Spiritual Qi concentration of several hundred Spirit Stones."
"With Fairy Ziling's current Core Formation Cultivation, you can indeed drink it."
Zi Ling smiled faintly, her spirits soaring, captivating all. "It seems Fellow Daoist has had good gains recently. Congratulations."
"I will gladly accept this Five-Colored Dao Tea."
Zi Ling took a small sip, savoring its unique charm, then drank it all.
She was about to speak, but the next moment, a mysterious realization surged into her Heart-Nature, and the Dharma Treasure Liquid in her body transformed into Spiritual Qi, surging everywhere.
"Fellow Daoist Li, I will meditate for a moment."
Li Feiyu nodded.
By the time Zi Ling awoke, it was three days later. She couldn't help but exclaim joyfully, "As expected of an immortal-grade item! Not only has my Cultivation Technique advanced a great step, but many crucial points have also become clear. There will be no obstacles to advancing to the Core Formation Middle Stage in the future."
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Li!"
That was natural. This was tea leaves that Deity Transformation Stage Cultivators frequently consumed. Even Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators would receive considerable assistance upon their first consumption.
"Fairy Ziling is a friend. I am never stingy with friends."

Zi Ling covered her mouth with a smile, which made Li Feiyu feel somewhat bewildered.
Then, she looked around, her expression suddenly becoming serious, "This sea area… could it be where Jiyin Island is located?"
"Fellow Daoist Li, you…"
"When we first met, I said that dealing with Jiyin Island was not a problem, but it would have to be when I had the ability."
Zi Ling's expression changed, her mind filled with thoughts. She sighed softly, "Fellow Daoist Li, there's no need for this. I truly have no way to repay you like this."
"Are you forcing me to offer myself in marriage?"
"I didn't say that. If Fellow Daoist is unwilling, I won't force you. If you don't want revenge, I naturally won't proactively deal with Jiyin Island."
Li Feiyu smiled charmingly, "All decisions are in your hands, Fairy."
"I…"
Zi Ling hesitated for a long time, finally saying, "Fellow Daoist Li, I'm sorry, but I've decided to seek revenge myself in the future."
Li Feiyu sighed inwardly, "That's truly a pity."
He knew that if he didn't intervene, and without any accidents, Zenith Yin should fall into Han Li's hands and die by Man Hu Zi's hand.
"Then let's go and explore other places."
…
After Jin Yuan successfully Cultivated, he left the cave and disguised himself as a Foundation Establishment Stage young man, living in seclusion on Sangxing Island.
He rented a house and opened a general store.
He collected Formation books and Artifact Refining books while learning to refine, and then sold his refined items in his shop.
His life was quite fulfilling.
Huangming Island was Li Feiyu's last battle.
Since he didn't plan to return to Heavenly South via the Ancient Teleportation Array for now, he could only leave with Han Li through this Infernal Hell.
Li Feiyu was also quite curious about the Infernal Hell.
Especially the soul stones, which were extremely rare and were core Materials for refining Puppets above the Core Formation stage Stage in ancient times.
Li Feiyu felt that perhaps the soul stones could be used to re-refine the Soul Devouring Yin Plate.
However, whether it would work or not, he would only know after seeing and studying it.
Magic power was forbidden in the Infernal Hell, but Li Feiyu was confident that his Physical Body and Crimson Crow's strength were enough to move freely there.
"Fellow Daoist Li, this is Huangming Island, isn't it? Why have we come here?"
"Although this is a neutral zone, in terms of safety, it's far inferior to your Sangxing Island."
Li Feiyu smiled, "If there's a Great Cultivator in charge, order will immediately be established here."
"Fellow Daoist Li is joking. How could a Great Cultivator have so much free time?"
"Aren't we going to Huangming Island?"
During this period, they would visit and explore every island they encountered.
"Let's go see other places."
Li Feiyu took Zi Ling and flew to other places. A few days later, suddenly, a hundred miles away, the sky and earth changed color, and an astonishing anomaly occurred.
"Such an anomaly, I wonder what caused it."
Li Feiyu smiled, "Then let's go take a look."
Crimson Crow let out a roar and flew at extreme speed, arriving near the anomaly in just a moment.
The center of the anomaly was a valley on a deserted island. There, Yin Qi winds howled, obscuring the sky, with flying sand and rolling stones everywhere, a hazy grey expanse.
The wailing of ghosts, mournful and shrill.
The valley was protected by a Formation, and at its center, dazzling black light flickered.
The heavy Yin Qi was startling.
Above the valley, dark clouds rolled, and thunder rumbled, forming a funnel shape pointing directly at the center of the great Formation.
"The Soul-Returning technique is indeed Heaven-Defying."
Zi Ling's Face changed upon hearing this, "Who is so audacious? Are they tired of living?!"
"I didn't expect to meet an old acquaintance here. Are you interested in going to see them?"
"Old acquaintance?"
At this moment, Wen Tianren and Han Li were locked in fierce combat.
Han Li had now also achieved Major Achievement in Core Formation, making him somewhat stronger than his original self at this time.
Both displayed numerous techniques, various Magic Treasure, and Divine Ability, with astonishing power. There was no one else present near the battle.
Zi Ling saw them and couldn't help but exclaim, "Wen Tianren, Fellow Daoist Han, it's actually you two!"
The two immediately separated and looked towards the source of the voice.
"Senior Brother Li." Han Li was slightly surprised, his eyes flickering.
"Li Feiyu, and you!" Wen Tianren gritted his teeth upon seeing them.
"Young Lord Wen, how have you been? Why are you fighting with my Junior Brother?"
Wen Tianren suddenly looked at Han Li, shocked, "You are Han Li, the lucky Core Formation Cultivator who obtained the void heaven cauldron?!"
His Face was extremely solemn. He had originally thought he was an insignificant Loose Cultivator, but he didn't expect him to be Li Feiyu's Junior Brother, and coincidentally, Li Feiyu had actually come here.
With him present, even if he wanted to kill Han Li and seize the void heaven cauldron, it would be difficult.
Li Feiyu seemed uninterested in them, smiling, "I'm just passing by, don't mind me. You two continue."
Han Li's mouth twitched, and Wen Tianren also looked astonished.
Li Feiyu looked at Wen Tianren, "Seeing your expression, do you think I will definitely step in to help?"
"Young Lord Wen, don't underestimate my Junior Brother. Among those of the same Realm, he's only slightly inferior to me."
Li Feiyu gestured with his hand, "It's unlikely you'll be able to kill my Junior Brother."
"I'm not interested in your battle, but I am quite curious about the person performing this Soul-Returning technique."
Han Li said, "The one below is a good friend of mine. I originally intended to act as Protector, but now I'm entangled. Senior Brother Li, could you please help out for my sake?"
"I owe you a favor."
"Who is it that makes you so concerned? It's not your lover, is it?"
"Senior Brother, please don't joke. Her name is Yuan Yao. We've only met a few times, but we have an agreement, and I don't want to break it. Moreover, she is also a person of deep emotion and sincerity, sacrificing herself to perform the Soul-Returning technique to save her Senior Sister."
"Alright, since you've said so, I'll go take a look."
Li Feiyu descended with Zi Ling. He used the Spirit Devouring Golden Cicada to bite through the great Formation and entered it.
Inside was another special Formation. Within the Formation was a crystal clear and exquisite white jade coffin, about seven feet long and three feet high, completely enveloped by wisps of white mist.
In front of the white jade coffin, a beautiful female Cultivator of peerless grace sat cross-legged; it was Yuan Yao.
She continuously made hand seals, sending out streaks of Dharma seals that landed on the woman in the coffin.
Yuan Yao's forehead was covered in fine sweat, and her body trembled slightly, showing how difficult it was to perform this Soul-Returning technique.
"Yuan Yao, do you need help?"
Yuan Yao looked at Li Feiyu and Zi Ling, her hand movements not stopping.
"Who are you? Where is Fellow Daoist Han?"
Li Feiyu said, "Don't misunderstand. I am Han Li's Senior Brother. He is currently entangled with someone and asked me to come help you."
"You are Li Feiyu, Senior Li?!"
Yuan Yao's eyes lit up, but then dimmed again, "No need. The Soul-Returning technique will fail if stopped midway. If Senior helps me, it will only greatly damage your own Realm."
