The Primordial Law

Chapter 254 A Gathering of Transcendent Beings
The scarred old man laughed heartily: "It seems we've really been away for too long. The disciples in the sect are treating us like outsiders. I used the name Hidden Eleven before, but that was a long, long time ago. Now just call me Elder Qin."

The tiger-headed old man sighed, "Just call me Old Man Zhuo! The contemporary recluse praised you to the skies, saying how amazing you were at the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival, and how you would be wiped out by hostile forces if you didn't protect the Dao. Well, you've successfully piqued our curiosity and led us to the center of this vortex of trouble. What a trap!"

The Nine Li Hidden Sect selects sixty hermits and one hermit ruler every sixty years.

The cycle of sixty years continues.

The contemporary recluse is naturally Li Weiyi. The newest recluse is Yin Ershiliu, Yaoyin.

Thirty-four years later, when the Hidden Sixty is selected, the next cycle of sixty years will begin. At that time, Li Weiyi will transform from a reclusive figure into a contemporary recluse ruler.

The contemporary recluse is in charge of all matters inside and outside the reclusive sect. He can mobilize all recluses and resources, and is also responsible for selecting and cultivating the next generation of reclusive masters.

In theory, during special periods, even ancient hermits are subject to the command of contemporary reclusive rulers.

Qin Lao and Zhuo Lao are two ancient hermits whom the contemporary recluse invited with the decree of the recluse ancestor to protect Li Weiyi.

Upon learning that it was a senior from the Hidden Sect, Yin Shiyi immediately became smug: "So how did we perform?"

"Just so-so!"

Qin Lao's gaze fell on Li Weiyi, and he and Zhuo Lao exchanged a glance before clasping their hands in a fist salute.

Although the Hidden Ones have not yet fully matured, they can be considered equals. This is because the Nine Li Hidden Sect requires its Hidden Ones to develop leadership qualities.

Only by granting a sufficiently high position can leadership qualities be cultivated.

After Li Weiyi retorted, he asked, "Where is Yin Jun?"

The old man said, "They went into the city to steal longevity pills, dragon seeds, and dragon bones. It was all you guys who stole them. You could have exchanged quite a bit for the invitations and receipts you got, but now the old folks have to do it themselves!"

"Stop talking nonsense! The current Hidden Lord went to help Zuoqiu Clan maintain order in the city. Now that their injuries have stabilized, we'll go help them too. Zuoqiu Clan definitely doesn't have enough manpower tonight, and many people are fighting over things, so the order is too chaotic."

Qinlao pulled Zhuolao along and hurriedly went down the mountain.

Li Weiyi asked, "Li Ling, is your brother your parents' biological son?"

Li Ling was taken aback, wondering why he had asked such a question out of the blue, but it was certainly not a nice thing to say, so she snorted coldly at Li Weiyi.

Li Weiyi secretly admired Yin Jun, who always knew what to do at any given time.

Although Cang Li was seriously injured and on the verge of death, the Hidden Lord's presence did not seem to be of much help. Instead, it delayed the best time to seize the Longevity Pill, Dragon Seed, and Dragon Bone.

It came back to me in my mind.

The Dragon Palace flipped over, and various treasures rained down like stars, flying to all parts of the city.

Li Weiyi slapped his thigh hard, extremely angry at the two powerful demons who had suddenly appeared. They could have exchanged for many treasures, laying a solid foundation for his Dao Seed Realm cultivation.

Now look what happened, after working myself to the bone for half a month, I haven't gotten anything.

We can only hope that Yin Jun's side can achieve something.

After all, refining so many longevity pills is no easy feat, and the Du'e Temple might not be able to immediately produce another twenty. Dragon seeds and dragon bones are even more exquisite; once lost, they can never be obtained again.

Taoli Mountain is the safest place in Qiuzhou City, shrouded in numerous formations and runes.

In the third heaven, there is a concentrated area of ​​buildings and cultivation caves where almost all the talented disciples of the direct lineage of the Zuoqiu Sect reside.

After a short rest, the injuries subsided temporarily.

Ignoring the obstruction of Yin Ershisi and Yao Yin, Li Weiyi walked out of the palace and headed south along a stone staircase path ten feet wide. He was extremely interested in the duel between the transcendent and the immortal, as if his bloodline had been awakened with fervor and excitement.

This represents the height he must pursue in his future martial arts career.

Just how strong is the strongest person in the world?
Is it really as mythical as it is, that they created the world and were omnipotent?

The houses and palaces in the third heaven are all built along the cliff, and there are ancient and huge peach trees growing on them. The peach blossoms are in full bloom and fall like snowflakes.

Yin Ershisi and Yao Yin followed closely behind him, one on each side, supporting him.

Arriving at the cliff edge near the South City, Li Weiyi channeled his magic power into his eyes and peered into the distance. He could only see enormous demonic shadows flying past outside the array's veil of light, emanating a powerful aura.

Below, the outer city of the southern city is in ruins.

All the houses collapsed, the earth was torn apart, and seawater flooded in. Countless residents perished in the ruins.

However, the inner city remained intact, shaped like an octagon, and was as solid as a rock.

"Whoosh! Whoosh..."

Within the eight smaller Dao Domains of the eight major districts of the inner city, a pillar of light rose from each, merging with the pillar of light rising from Peach and Plum Mountain. Instantly, array patterns continuously rose from the ground beneath the entire city, protecting Qiuzhou City into a sea of ​​array pattern light.

Li Weiyi said, "They didn't break into the city? I remember the protective array's veil seemed to have been torn open, and a terrifying figure broke in."

Behind them, a deep and resonant voice rang out: "If Qiuzhou City were so easily breached, then they could sweep through the entire Lingxiao Realm, no matter where they are!"

Li Weiyi turned around and looked at him with surprise in his eyes. He quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Patriarch."

Zuoqiu Ling is both the head of the Lingxiao clan and the patriarch of the Zuoqiu family. Of course, patriarchs like them, like the current reclusive ruler of the Jiuli Hidden Sect, are only responsible for matters of the human world.

Matters concerning those beyond immortality are beyond their ability to resolve.

The consensus in the martial arts world is that those in the Dao Seed Realm are the strongest among mortals, while those in the Longevity Realm are no longer considered mortals, but beings who contend with heaven and earth for longevity. Before the outbreak of the ten-year war, those in the Longevity Realm rarely participated in human affairs, pursuing only cultivation and lifespan.

Zuoqiu Ling was over two meters tall, very tall and handsome, and wore armor, ready to fight at any time.

This peerless powerhouse, who is said to be "sitting like a divine mountain, lying like a dark dragon, and walking like the sun and moon," is not as aloof as the legends suggest; his eyes are quite gentle.

He added, "It's not that simple! The main city of the Thousand Gates has been prepared for thousands of years. Even if the Martial Emperor were to arrive, it could hold out for a period of time. If it were so easy to break through, the Second Palace Master would have already led the transcendents of the court to destroy the rebel army's gates one by one."

Li Weiyi's tense and worried heart temporarily calmed down: "Is Zuoqiu Hong alright?"

“She is alright, but she has not yet woken up,” Zuoqiu Ling said.

"Boom!"

Within the inner city below the mountain, a powerful, hidden Death Ember charged towards a Dao Domain in the south, intending to destroy the array light pillar that had risen within it.

His body burst into flames and exploded.

Sparks flew out, turning into a fiery rain that covered the city for miles.

However, it did not form an ash-covered area and was neutralized by the city's protective formation.

Within that Dao domain, numerous runes surged forth, completely blocking the destructive energy.

Zuoqiu Ling snorted: "I had already guessed that they would have deployed people in the city in advance. Trying to break through the formation from the inside? It's not that easy."

Within the inner city, demon race and powerful Jinling warriors appeared one after another, all targeting the Dao Domain Array Eyes of the eight major districts.

There were many experts from various forces in the city, and they were quickly all killed.

“Woof! Woof…”

From the depths of the void, the barking of dogs echoed like thunder, resounding across the land for miles.

An old dog, as tall as a mountain, came from the plains. It was thin and bony, with sharp teeth and spitting out gray mist. Its body was mottled and its fur was severely thinning, with the remaining long fur being dark red.

Wherever his feet trod, the grass and trees withered, and the deathly aura turned the area into a blood-soaked pit.

It specifically targets areas where humans gather, and wherever it goes, it either swallows up the entire population of a large town with its demonic winds, or kills countless civilians simply by emanating deathly aura from its body.

Upon arriving at the battlefield of Bingzuze, the old dog attacked a transcendent being who was heading towards the northern border.

Zuoqiu Ling recognized the old dog's origin and his face darkened: "It's the Western Rong bandits, the ancestor of the Quanrong. This old scoundrel is still alive."

The Four Extreme Ape King appeared on the horizon. Like the Heartless Golden Ape, it had four arms, sharp saber teeth in its mouth, and hundreds of miles of demonic clouds gathered above its head.

Its head is enormous, with a five-colored mountain on top, where the power of the five elements converges. It holds a flaming spear that is hundreds of meters long, as thick as a millstone, and weighs countless kilograms.

Entering Bingzuze, running on the seabed, they attacked the Second Palace Master's imperial carriage.

One after another, powerful figures from the far western Ash region arrived with unprecedented force, truly aiming to annihilate the Zuoqiu School.

The senior figures of the imperial court and various rebel armies could not remain uninvolved, because Qilin Zang planned to take this opportunity to kill them as well.

……

Two silvery lights illuminated the night.

A demonic creature flew over the city of Qiuzhou, acting extremely arrogantly.

Li Weiyi looked up and immediately held her breath, her heart stopping.

It was an eagle, its two wings covering both the north and south cities, exuding a primordial aura. Its silver wings swept towards the array's protective veil above Qiuzhou City, where the array's defenses were weaker.

Silver feathers pierced through, their silver light spreading throughout the city, dragging southward like a silver blade that could split the heavens and the earth, exuding an aura of dominance.

The formation was not broken.

The protective veil of light has more than one layer, and it can be repaired as the magical energy from the Heavenly Law Spring continuously flows out.

"It's the Silver Feathered Eagle King from the Yinshan Mountains eight thousand miles north. Two of the four great demon kings in the territory have appeared!" Zuoqiu Ling's mood turned heavy. He was no longer as confident as before and was afraid that the other two demon kings would also appear.

Qilinzang has come with overwhelming force, gathering all the extraordinary people in the world. If he cannot destroy Zuoqiu's sect, his first battle after his return will not be a success, and it will severely damage morale.

The ancestor of the Quanrong was not among the Four Great Demon Kings.

The four demon kings consider themselves the orthodox demon race, study human laws, learn human culture and skills, and get along relatively well with human martial artists. Therefore, they are able to occupy a vast territory in each of the twenty-eight states.

The Quanrong Ancestor belongs to the evil demons, wandering between the Netherworld and the Living World. He can only support human Rong bandits as his forces and has no demon territory of his own.
