The Primordial Law

Chapter 242 The Fifth Realm of the Five Seas Realm Reached Perfection
Li Weiyi took a detour and arrived at the noodle shop at the bridgehead.

The broken stone bridge has been completely repaired.

The noodle shop owner refused the coins Li Weiyi offered, smiling and saying, "Lord Ge has already sent someone to pay!"

"He is him and I am me."

Li Weiyi placed the Yongquan coin on the table and left.

Zixia Mountain, where Changqing Temple is located, is the highest mountain in the outer city of the eastern part of the city. Although not particularly high, every morning when the sun shines, the hills are shrouded in a purple glow, creating a misty, ethereal scene that gives it the appearance of a blessed, celestial land.

At noon.

After Li Wei led Shi Shishi and Bai Shu up the stone steps to the temple, they drove smoothly to the dining hall of Changqing Temple.

"The vegetarian meals at Changqing Temple are exceptional. They are served promptly at 1:15 noon. You two must try them."

Li Weiyi was quite friendly with the two young Taoist priests in the canteen, and they greeted each other.

"You should have said so earlier! I love this food so much, I've never been full before." Shi Shishi ordered ten vegetarian meals after sitting down.

Bai Shu really didn't understand why Li Weiyi brought them to this Taoist temple at such a crucial moment.
Just as he was about to ask a question.

Li Weiyi first asked, "Bai Shu, you are a Grand Master of the Calamity Fire Realm. Besides being proficient in talismanic arts, how are you at controlling insects?"

Bai Shu said, "I have studied it, but raising insects is extremely expensive and energy-consuming. Moreover, fierce insects are difficult to tame and rare insects are hard to find, so I can only barely be considered to have some knowledge of it."

"Your telekinesis is far stronger than mine, it should be enough! Eat, and then come with me somewhere."

After finishing their vegetarian meal, Li Weiyi and Bai Shu walked into the stele forest outside the dining hall.

At this moment, Shi Shishi was still eating his fourth vegetarian meal.

The stele forest covers several acres, and the inscriptions on some of the steles were carved by giants from the Longevity Realm. However, the place is quite desolate, with countless fallen leaves and many steles lying on the ground, no longer possessing the glory of a thousand years ago.

Arriving at an area where eight stone tablets formed a Bagua (Eight Trigrams) formation, Li Wei's finger emitted a spiritual flame, and he drew complex array characters on the stone tablet in the Qian (Heaven) position.

He deliberately avoided Bai Shu, preventing her from seeing the array pattern.

This is a secret of the Zuoqiu School of Taoism!

"Wow!"

The area between the eight steles suddenly collapsed, turning into a bottomless Bagua well.

The two fell downwards.

Bai Shu was terrified and panicked. She quickly mobilized her spiritual flames to condense spiritual wings on her back to resist the downward force.

Li Wei grabbed her wrist, used his movement technique to walk along the stone walls of the well, and quickly landed at the bottom of the well.

At the bottom of the well, there were eight more stone tablets arranged in the shape of the Bagua (Eight Trigrams).

Li Weiyi walked to the stone tablet in the Kun position and began to sketch.

Behind her, Bai Shu, fearing another sudden fall, quickly grabbed Li Weiyi's hand: "Master Li, can we not play such thrilling games? Where are we going?"

"Go find some help."

As Li Weiyi finished speaking, with a loud bang, a stone door extending downwards opened on the stone wall behind the stone tablet.

When he lived with Yang Qingxi at Changqing Temple before, he had already gone down to investigate on his own.

This place was a Taoist temple of the spirit tablet master in his youth. Using special array runes, it can open a passage in the underground array of Qiuzhou City, connecting to the depths of the earth.

At the time, Li Weiyi was afraid that a powerful enemy would find Changqing Temple, so he regarded this place as a hiding place and a way out.

After walking for a long time, the two finally arrived at the depths of the earth.

Before them lay a pitch-black and enormous cavern, hundreds of feet high, so dark that even spiritual light and flames could not reach the other side. In the center of the cavern stood a towering Bagua platform.

Bai Shu was extremely surprised: "This place, was it Zuo Qiuting who told you about it? Where is the helper you mentioned?"

"Clap!"

Li Weiyi clapped his hands loudly and whistled.

Echoes reverberated through the cave.

Suddenly, a dense rustling sound rang out in the darkness, and countless eyes opened, some shining brightly, others burning with flames.

A chill ran through Bai Shu's body, making her feel dizzy and almost faint on the spot. The entire cave was filled with countless ferocious insects, each exuding hostility, thick with murderous intent, and extremely fierce.

More ferocious insects swarmed into some of the cave's crevices and passageways.

"Don't be afraid. Above Qiuzhou City, there are characters that indicate the solution. The commander-level strange insects in the underground world have all been frightened away. What you see now are some soldier-level and general-level ferocious insects."

Li Weiyi released the seven Phoenix Winged Moth Kings.

They had grown to seven inches long, radiating a dazzling light, flying in all directions, emitting sharp cries that intimidated all the ferocious insects.

Only commander-level extraordinary insects comparable to martial cultivators at the Dao Seed Realm possess the initial ability to summon ferocious insects and form an insect army.

The seven-inch-long Phoenix-Winged Moth King already possessed a formidable aura, and coupled with its noble bloodline, it was certainly no less powerful than a commander-level rare insect. In particular, the Great Phoenix, after releasing an aura comparable to that of a martial artist in the Longevity Realm, directly suppressed all the ferocious insects in the cave, causing them to tremble and wail.

Even Bai Shu, upon suddenly sensing this aura, felt her legs go weak and struggled to resist, as if she were facing a powerful figure of the rank of a high-ranking official.

Looking at the back of the reclusive Jiuli tribesman before her, she was deeply shaken, feeling that Li Weiyi was full of mystery and the unknown.

Bai Shu had long heard that the status of insect tamers was extremely high, that one person could be as good as a thousand troops, one person could defend a city, and one person could destroy a sect. Today, she finally experienced all of this in a concrete way.

Li Weiyi said, "I can barely control the seven strange insects I raise. But there are many Grand Masters of the Calamity Fire Realm and experts in insect control in the city. I'm worried about making a mistake."

"I'll teach you a few insect scripts. You can inscribe them onto those general-level ferocious insects. Time is tight, so inscribe as many as you can."

After transmitting the insect script to her, Li Weiyi ascended the Bagua platform in the center of the cave, took out the blue Yin Banner, and covered the platform to prevent Bai Shu from discovering some of her important secrets. Then, she took out the Dyed Cloud Medicine needed for breaking through to the next realm, as well as the unused Dao Fruit.

"Today, you have to help me control the magical energy within my body and suppress its rejection, otherwise I'm finished, and you'll be finished too. Protect the Dao, protect the Dao, at this critical moment, you have to protect me, right?" Li Weiyi seemed to be talking to himself.

Logically speaking, he shouldn't be able to break through to the fifth realm of the Five Seas Realm right now.

Because the energy of the Fourth Sea is not yet stable and has a strong tendency to reject foreign substances.

Forcibly breaking through the border is extremely dangerous.

The reason he dared to do this was because of his protector wife. Of course, his protector wife couldn't appear in the open, but within his body, she helped him suppress the rejection of the newly added magical energy, all without anyone knowing.

As for the potential dangers caused by rushing to break through to a higher realm...

We can only discuss this after the Qianlong Lantern Festival.

With his lungs already fully strengthened, Li Weiyi ingested the first Dyed Cloud Herb. The spatial power contained within the herb erupted, and the celestial radiance surged within his body, overflowing from his pores.

At the same time, he mobilized the spatial power of the Buddha's relics to participate in the creation of the inner world of the lungs.

The opening of the fifth Qi Sea was forced and extremely difficult. After successively consuming five rare herbs of the Dyed Clouds, his lungs trembled violently, and his inner world was born.

Next comes the expansion of the inner world and the construction of the Qi Sea and String Meridians.

Time passes minute by minute.

With the assistance of the power of the Buddha's relic space, the fifth Qi Sea expanded at an extremely rapid speed, reaching 10,000 cubic meters after two hours.

In the third hour, it reached 15,000 cubic meters.

The expansion speed has slowed down.

In the fourth hour, an additional two thousand cubic meters were added.

……

Ultimately, Li Weiyi's fifth Qi Sea stopped at around 18,000 square meters, which was more than twice as large as the fourth sea's 8,000 square meters.

It is comparable to the ancestral lands of some Seventh Sea martial artists.

Time is already running out.

Li Weiyi took out the Dao Fruit and asked his master, the coffin master, to help him implant it into his fifth Qi Sea.

In any case, he must break through to the perfect state of the fifth realm of the Five Seas Realm today. As for whether the internal energy is disordered or not, or whether it is rejected, he will leave it all to his wife who protects him.

……

…………

Shi Shishi knew that tonight would be a tough battle, so he spent the entire afternoon eating in the cafeteria.

They were still eating in the evening.

All the young and old Taoist priests in charge of preparing the vegetarian meal were startled and stared in disbelief at the layers upon layers of bowls on the table.

"How can his stomach hold so much? He ate the food of hundreds of people by himself. Is he even human?"

"Don't talk nonsense! Senior Brother Li is a good friend of the First Inheritor, and the people he brings are trustworthy."

Shi Shishi finally seemed to have eaten his fill. Looking around, he saw that it was already quite dark. He quickly wiped his lips and asked, "What time is it now?"

A young woman in a white Taoist robe sat by a window near the Stele Forest in the distance, and said calmly, "It's almost 9 PM! There's only one hour left before the bell tolls and the venue opens. The Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival is about to end..."

Suddenly.

The ground shook slightly.

"boom!"

In the Forest of Steles, a Bagua array of light emerged, radiating a bright white glow.

The Bagua Well, which is two zhang in diameter, opened. With a high-pitched dragon roar, Li Weiyi stepped on the dragon's shadow and flew out from below with Bai Shu, then suddenly landed on the ground, startling the fallen leaves.

Shi Shishi was afraid of missing the Qianlong Lantern Festival. Seeing them return, his heart finally settled down, and he stood up like lightning.

Li Weiyi shouted, "What time is it?"

"Hai Shi (9-11 PM)!" Shi Shi said.

"Let's go! We can still catch this good show."

Li Weiyi possessed a powerful aura of magic, which suddenly shot into the sky and landed on the green tiles atop the Taoist temple. He looked down at the city lights and gazed at the full moon in the sky, letting out a melodious long howl.

"Crash!"

Led by seven phoenix-winged moth queens, countless ferocious insects surged out of the Bagua Well like a black cloud, making all sorts of noises. They flew in the sky and crawled on the ground, and there was no end to their numbers.

"Whoosh! Whoosh..."

Li Weiyi took the lead, leaping down Zixia Mountain and swiftly bounding across rooftops.

Seven phoenix-winged moth kings flew in mid-air, leading seven black torrents of insects that blotted out the sky. They followed closely behind him, flying up the inner city wall and rushing to the south city to head to the battlefield.

Standing atop a cloud of insects formed by a swarm of general-level ferocious insects, Shi Shishi was still processing the shock in his heart: "Did we make too much of a commotion? Are we going to attack them all at once?"

"Those legendary insect tamers, weren't they all able to fight against everyone by themselves?" Bai Shu asked.

Besides them, the inspecting immortals of Du'e Temple, dressed in white Taoist robes, also followed closely behind.
