The Primordial Law

Chapter 255 The Eight Trigrams Mirror of Xi Huang

Zuoqiu Ling looked up at the nine heavens above Peach and Plum Mountain. Even the tempered mind of an immortal could not hide the emotions and worries in his eyes at this moment.

He withdrew his gaze and suddenly said, "Weiyi, do you think the situation in the world will evolve like the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival? Or even worse?"

Clearly, Zuoqiu Ling felt that tonight's situation was just like the eve of the beginning of the Qianlong Lantern Festival.

Zuoqiu Temple is facing extremely difficult challenges. If it can withstand them, it will usher in a new landscape for Lingxiao's habitat.

If they can't hold on, their entire clan may be wiped out.

Facing this patriarch of a family with millions in assets, Li Weiyi dared not speak recklessly. After a moment of deep thought, he expressed his opinion: "Tonight is similar to New Year's Eve, but it is still different."

"When the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival began, the Ash Region of the Far West was able to conceal its strength and not reveal its hidden power. They have always been located to the west of the Lingxiao Realm and have not shown any ambition for thousands of years."

"Therefore, everyone thought that the Zuoqiu Sect, which was supported by the Du'e Temple, was the biggest threat and had to be eliminated first."

"Tonight is different. The demon race is coming in with great force, and Qilin Zang is even more shameless, showing that he will not stop until the human race is destroyed."

"Even if the imperial court wants to use the demon race to destroy the Zuoqiu Clan, it must first protect the Zuoqiu Clan. Otherwise, if the southern border falls, Lingxiao City will be next."

"The major powers in the North, East, and West can no longer stand idly by as they did on New Year's Eve. Because if they can't win the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival, they can escape from the city. But if they can't win the war of the world, they have nowhere to escape, and their descendants will be slaves and livestock."

Yin Ershisi and Yao Yin were utterly impressed by Li Weiyi. It wasn't that they thought his words were particularly good, but rather that he could speak so calmly and naturally with such a powerful figure as Ling Xiaojia, without appearing arrogant or conceited.

The two of them were very nervous.

It wasn't that I was afraid of anything, but rather that Zuoqiu Ling's aura was simply too strong.

Zuoqiu Ling said, "Qilin Zang's cultivation has reached an unimaginable level. The formation in Qiuzhou City can only temporarily repel it, without harming it in the slightest. The Immortal Master of Du'e Temple can only barely contend with it. The Transcendent One who came from the Western Region was swallowed whole by it. No one in the entire Lingxiao Realm is its match. He dares to start a war so recklessly, so he must be absolutely confident."

Li Weiyi knew very well that Zuoqiu Ling was testing him.

A person capable of being the head of a family cannot be unaware of the predicament behind Qilinzang.

Li Weiyi said, "I think Qilinzang may not be entirely confident, but the arrow is already on the bowstring and he has no choice but to release it."

"With Luan Sheng Lin You's strength, trump cards, and the forces under his command, the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival should have been a sure thing. As long as Luan Sheng Lin You is conferred the title of Hidden Dragon, and Qi Lin Zang appears in the process, the two forces will combine and there will be no need for him to take action. Countless forces will join his cause tonight."

"The failure of the Qianlong Lantern Festival is clearly the last thing it wanted to see."

"But the forces of Tianya Ridge, Yinshan, Guanshan, Longmen... have all clearly taken sides. If it doesn't take action tonight, if it doesn't show the toughest attitude, how can it give these people an explanation?"

"Tianya Ridge is right under the nose of Zuoqiu Gate."

"Yinshan will be uprooted by Xuejian Tangting."

"Longmen will be attacked by the imperial army immediately, and the people of the world will applaud it."

……

"The reason why Kirin-zang was so tough in this battle, and seemed determined to win, I think was more to show his attitude to his allies and reassure them."

Zuoqiu Ling's eyes lit up, and he nodded slightly: "Qilin Zang didn't get the support of Du'e Temple. Overlords like the Four Extreme Ape King and the Silver Feather Eagle King must be hesitant and might even change sides... Here it comes, the supreme artifact has finally completed the absorption of magical energy..."

Just as Li Weiyi was wondering.

An inexplicable and terrifying aura erupted from the unknown space above the ninth heaven of Peach and Plum Mountain, causing countless martial arts practitioners in the city to collapse to the ground in shock.

"Wow!"

A blinding radiance, like the blazing sun in the sky, dispelled the darkness.

The light illuminated the entire Qiuzhou as if it were daytime.

The supreme magical artifact of Zuoqiu Sect, the "Xihuang Bagua Mirror," after absorbing sufficient magical energy from the Heavenly Law Earth Spring, flew out of Peach and Plum Mountain, its supreme power vast and mighty.

The sea of ​​clouds in the sky began to boil.

The blazing sun and bright moon, derived from the Bagua mirror, create a spectacular scene of the sun and moon in the sky.

Sensing the aura of destruction, the Silver Feather Eagle King lost its previous arrogance and fled in a flash, soaring over a hundred miles in a single leap. However, it was caught up by the Xi Huang Bagua Mirror, and after a while, its demonic body exploded into a cloud of blood mist, turning the southern sky completely blood-red.

"Boom!"

The demon king's mangled corpse fell to the ground, turning the surrounding area for hundreds of miles into a blood-red demonic plain.

It was a blood-red night, with another extraordinary fall. The landscape of Lingxiao's habitat will surely undergo a dramatic change tonight.

The sky above Peach Blossom Mountain, this ancestral realm, possesses one of the best celestial and terrestrial springs in the Southern Realm, capable of unleashing the full power of supreme magical artifacts.

Therefore, with thousands of sects in their own base, as long as they activate the supreme magical artifact, they can almost be invincible.

The second transcendent being of the Zuoqiu Clan emerged from the unknown space atop the mountain, his physique even more robust than Zuoqiu Ling's. With each step he took, the void trembled, and rings of energy radiance spread outwards.

The Eight Trigrams Mirror of Xi Huang was under his control.

"There's actually a second transcendent being in Zuoqiu Sect!"

"No wonder the Crossing Calamity Temple chose them. Who is this person? His aura is too strong, seemingly no less than that of the Second Palace Master."

……

The second transcendent being of Zuoqiu Sect, wielding the Xihuang Bagua Mirror, charged out of Qiuzhou City and headed straight for Qilin Zang.

"Boom!"

With a single strike, several fissures, hundreds of meters wide, appeared on the earth, stretching towards the horizon. Qilin Zang had come prepared; its supreme magical artifact was fully activated, transforming into a silver moon that rose and collided with the Xi Huang Bagua Mirror.

In an instant, countless scriptures burst forth, and the vast plain collapsed, transforming into a basin.

The extraordinary showdown has escalated further.

The terrain of Qiuzhou was drastically altered by the fighting.

The transcendent beings of the human race were rapidly approaching, and those from the Ashlands of the far west were also appearing one after another. Magical artifacts clashed in the sky, and Taoist arts either burned the heavens or boiled the seas.

They fought all night long.

As dawn approached, the battle's aftershocks gradually faded into the distance.

The battle raged near Qiuzhou's capital. The Xihuang Bagua Mirror could continuously absorb the magical energy from the Heavenly Law Earthly Spring, unleashing its strongest power. At the same time, the offensive power within the city's protective formation was also constantly being released, completely suppressing the demon race.

Only by distancing ourselves can we dismantle the superior advantage of the human race and regain the upper hand.

The martial arts practitioners in the city endured a night of trembling fear and anxiety, finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. That apocalyptic atmosphere was terrifying.

On the third level of heaven, Zuoqiu Ling was not in high spirits despite defeating the demon race; instead, his expression was solemn, and he sighed deeply. It was unimaginable how devastating this battle had been to Qiuzhou; countless civilians outside the city had died or been injured, and the city itself had suffered severe damage.

The sun is rising.

When Zuoqiu Ling received the urgent letter from the western border, his expression changed drastically: "A feint to the south while attacking the west! Is the rehearsal for the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival truly unavoidable?"

The letter stated that the Zhu family was attacked by the demon race last night. The Mountain Lord, the leader of the four demon kings, the Sparrow Ancestor, and the Purple Phoenix, one of the five phoenixes of the Ash Region in the far west, appeared with supreme magical artifacts.

The results of the battle have not yet been reported.

……

…………

Given the current situation, as a junior, we can only leave it to fate.

Taoli Mountain is already the safest place. Outside the city, the battle of supernatural powers has resulted in countless people dying without knowing why.

Zuoqiu Ling arranged a separate cave for Li Weiyi to cultivate in seclusion in the third heaven, and also ordered someone to send him a healing soup made from thousand-year-old refined herbs.

The cave dwelling is built on a cliff, and there is an ancient peach tree at the entrance.

"The head of the Zuoqiu family is approachable and not as arrogant as the legends say, who is invincible among his peers. As a Longevity Realm cultivator, he treats me, a junior, with great respect. Master Lingwei, the upbringing and virtue of your Zuoqiu family are truly commendable."

After opening the formation of the cave, Li Wei finally dared to communicate with the people in the Blood Mud Space.

Then.

Using the spiritual light and flames, the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish was activated and entered.

As soon as he stepped into the Blood Mud Space, he saw the seven little ones lying on the medicinal field, wreaking havoc on his immortal soil.

I felt both angry and delighted.

"Eat up, eat up, you'll ruin it all sooner or later."

Li Wei hurriedly packed away ten catties of immortal soil to use for shaping a longevity body. In the blink of an eye, he saw the Yellow Dragon Sword and the Startling Feather Sword stuck in the ground. His battle weapons were recovered, and the gloom in his heart was swept away.

Zen Sea Mist sat on the edge of the jade boat, dressed in bright red, with skin as white as mutton fat jade. He had not cultivated himself and looked preoccupied.

Li Weiyi knew without guessing that it was she who made the move at Bingzuze, pulling the Yellow Dragon Sword and the seven little ones into the Buddha's relic.

This also suggests that her cultivation level must have recovered considerably.

Noticing Li Weiyi's gaze, Chanhai Guanwu said, "Our relationship is quite special, and I can also activate the Buddha's relics to a certain extent."

Li Weiyi asked, "Won't someone see through us?"

"The blood mist and scriptures concealed the blood-stained demonic armor, so they couldn't detect it in their state at the time."

Zen Sea Guanwu jumped off the jade boat, his expression solemn, and paced back and forth, saying, "The dramatic change in the situation has exceeded my expectations. I originally intended to remain hidden in the shadows, slowly accumulating strength, and wait until I returned to the level of the Martial Emperor so that I could do many things boldly. But now, there is no safe place in the world. If Qilin Zang really wins, we will all be doomed."

Li Weiyi said, "Do you think that even if all the major forces joined forces, they would still be no match for Qilin Zang?"

Zen Sea Observer said, “The cultivation level that Qilin Zang has displayed has already far surpassed all the transcendent ones. Zhuang Shiyan of Du'e Temple is actually quite skilled, but he can only barely restrain him. What do you think of that person from the Zuoqiu School of Diplomacy?”

This question was clearly not directed at Li Weiyi.

The spirit tablet master said, "In the thousand years since we left, he has been able to cultivate to this level, which is beyond my expectations. However, there is still a considerable gap between him and Qilin Zang."

Master Guan gave Qilinzang a very high evaluation: "He is no different from me back then."

“Its strength surpasses yours,” Master Coffin said.

The two then began to argue.

Ignoring them, Li Weiyi looked at the Zen Sea Mist and asked curiously, "I've always wanted to know what the purpose of the Du'e Temple is. There are rumors that when you defeated the Leixiao Sect and established the Lingxiao Palace, they had your support. They also say that the Du'e Temple is your sect."

"The sect... do they even deserve it?"

Zen Sea Guan Wu recalled many childhood memories. After a long while, he said, "Du E Guan, just think of them as a group of investors. At the right time, select the best forces or people, provide them with certain assistance, and in return, obtain a generous return."
