Li Xian said, "Madam, you..." Wen Caishang replied, "You’ve painted three portraits for me, I’m very pleased, there’s no need for more." She waved her sleeve, and an Eye Gouging Knife fell to the ground. She paced slowly, circling Li Xian several times, saying, "Mr. Li La... I’ll give you one day, you’d better behave. It’s your own fault for being charming and attracting attention."

She did not allow Li Xian to speak another word, knowing well that his sweet words were powerful; listening to them too much would make her soft-hearted and delay her actions. The matter of gouging eyes was something she should have done long ago, but had postponed repeatedly... Having fallen into affection, she found it hard to ruin what they had, knowing that Li Xian was cunning and deceitful, yet indulging him with tacit approval.

Gu Nianjun’s visit naturally aroused great jealousy in her. With this momentum, she pressured the issue of gouging eyes. Once the anger dissipated, her heart grew soft again, and she hesitated.

Wen Caishang pondered, "I need him to gouge his eyes for me, not me gouging his eyes. He is my beloved, how could I gouge his eyes myself." Therefore, she never acted personally, whenever discussing the topic of "gouging eyes," it was always pleading, threatening, or forcing... yet never her own hands.

Wen Caishang formed several seals. "Qian," "Kun," "Zhen," "Xun," "Kan," "Li," "Gen," "Dui"... Her palms matched the eight trigrams, exhaustively casting eight seals, without a single anomaly, only feeling the light growing dimmer.

Li Xian, with exceptional eyesight, saw silkworm silk flying and flashing in the room, dense yet shapeless.

After this move was exhausted, she snorted lightly at the tip of her nose, refusing to speak with Li Xian, and turned to leave. Only Li Xian remained in the room.

Xiaotuan arrived late, passed through the Grass and Wood Corridor, encountering the lady face to face, her expression frosty, completely ignoring her. Out of curiosity, she veered out of the corridor, gazing at the pavilion where Li Xian resided, instantly showing an expression of shock, her legs softening as she saw the vast pavilion wrapped in countless white silkworm silk. The shape was akin to a giant silkworm cocoon.

As it turns out... the eight "seal methods" Wen Caishang created were the "Eight Extremes Seal" in the Silkworm Robe Mismatched Jade Technique, signaling absolute heaven, absolute earth, absolute wind, absolute thunder, absolute marshes, absolute fire, absolute water... Forming a trap to kill by silkworm silk, trapping within, with all means, yet utterly helpless.

She first formed a "Qian Seal," and the Ancestral Silkworm beside her spewed out silkworm silk, this type of silk was difficult to see with the naked eye. At the moment she formed the seal, her fingers manipulated the silk, causing it to weave mid-air, intricately woven, instantaneously enveloping the sky, absolutely negating the thought of escaping with Lightweight Skill.

Forming the Qian Seal again, the silk penetrated the ground, weaving into a net. Absolutely negating the thought to escape by merging into the ground, thereafter Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li... each seal in place absolutely negated each escape strategy. Once the eight seals were released, there was no path to the heavens, no way to the earth.

When they encountered at the inn in the past, Wen Caishang had barely tested her skill, yet unused it completely. It caused Hao Qingshe to not dare resist, dealing with Li Xian now, indeed overwhelming.

In the room, everything appeared as usual. Li Xian, mastering the Five Elements, knew all things were interconnected, and Feng Shui intertwined. Yet at this moment, he felt exceptional silence, with all connections severed. As if extracted from the mortal world, alone in a place without heaven, earth, wind, or fire...

The room was not dark. Li Xian attempted to light a candle but failed to ignite even a sliver. When Wen Caishang formed the "Li Seal," a world was formed within the cocoon, Martial Arts evolving infinitely. Already extinguished fire seeds, hence could not ignite fire.

Li Xian thought, "Such an impressive Martial Arts skill, yet used against me, truly it’s too much. What did Gu Nianjun say to Wen Caishang? What made her so angry, demanding eyes to be gouged immediately? Surely, Gu Nianjun wouldn’t mean to harm me; the lady wanting to gouge my eyes wouldn’t be instant either. I’ve avoided this day as much as possible, but in the end, this day must be faced."

Calming his emotions, he noticed an eye-gouging knife on the ground, its sharpness exposed. The blade forged from unusual iron could cut through skin and flesh without any pain. Li Xian glanced at it briefly, then set it aside. How could he truly go about gouging eyes?

Li Xian circled the room, his brows furrowed. Gradually, he grasped the situation, this place uncommonly peculiar; without wind, heaven, or earth... Li Xian ran with force, stepping silently. He performed Sword Techniques, evolving to the fullest extent, yet couldn’t stir even the slightest breeze.

He pushed the door with great effort, finding it immensely thick, as if it had merged into a whole. Li Xian used his Heavy Pupils to observe the outside, finding the room enveloped by the cocoon, even with masterful abilities, escape was impossible.

Li Xian marveled, "This power is truly awe-inspiring; the lady said her skills had greatly improved, she wasn’t deceiving me. How could she weave such a large cocoon with a mere wave of her hand?"

"Trapped by this cocoon, how can I escape? That’s right... A cocoon is woven by silkworm silk, surely leaving gaps. If I employ the Golden Light Technique, can I slip through the gaps, as if slipping through a screen?" 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Li Xian immediately attempted, observing with Heavy Pupils, heading to a relatively weak spot. Casting the Golden Light Technique, transforming into a stream of light, crashing into the cocoon. The golden light, like water, "seeped" into the depths of the cocoon, but the technique was still early, control was immature.

Only seeping in halfway, he met obstruction everywhere. Li Xian retreated two steps, focusing intensely, tried again. Three consecutive attempts had no effect. Li Xian’s knowledge was somewhat shallow, underestimating the strength of the "Eight Extremes Seal."

Using the "Golden Light Technique" for escape was indeed a feasible strategy. Yet mastery of the Golden Light Technique must be extremely refined, control painstaking. And one must have considerable understanding of the "Eight Extremes Seal." Based on the martial principles of the Eight Extremes Seal, precisely employing the Golden Light Technique is the way to escape this cage.

Li Xian’s skill in the Golden Light Technique wasn’t fine enough, the Eight Extremes Seal was even more intricate. Escape was naturally hopeless. He tried several methods in succession, all ending in failure, drained of energy, lying down to rest.

His mind was tenacious, feeling difficulty despite the ordeal. Yet he was not despondent, after regaining strength, knowing forced escape to be futile, he sat calmly to devise another plan: "With my understanding of Martial Arts, to escape the lady’s confinement is truly wishful thinking. Using the Golden Light Technique to escape is impossible, I need not waste time on it anymore."
