The Primordial Law

Chapter 271 The Fourth Divine Child
The purpose of planting the Death Spirit Flame is to prevent powerful psychic beings from searching for souls and revealing secrets.

Young hermits of the Jiuli Hidden Sect must also plant the Death Spirit Flame when they go out on missions.

Given the power and mystery of the Twin Rice Cult, the Death Spirit Flame planted within a Dao Seed Realm member is undoubtedly extraordinary, and its core secrets will not be allowed to leak out. Even if a Holy Spirit Mind Master were to intervene, attempting to extract the soul and probe its essence, it would most likely be in vain.

The woman in red before him had actually managed to detect something despite being engulfed by the death flames. Shi Jiuzhai leaned against the wall, watching the man and woman in the distance, no longer daring to underestimate Li Weiyi in the slightest.

Although this reclusive man has lost his martial arts skills, the power of invisibility he possesses is still terrifying.

Perhaps in the near future, he will once again amaze the world as a master of telekinesis and a legendary insect master.

I wonder if I can catch up with the ten people who went to the Du'e Temple to cultivate.

This is destined to be a difficult road to catch up!

……

Lakeside.

Zen Sea Observation: Her skin glowed white in the night, her hair had an unusual luster, and she was surrounded by rosy light, mysterious and hazy. She spoke in a melodious tone: "Rice Man, is the growth of benevolent rice."

"Rice has an incredibly long history. According to ancient records from various habitats, it first appeared about 600,000 years ago."

"It is said that it originally came from the depths of the realm of the dead and was the food of the supreme beings in the world of the dead. Later, it gradually flowed into the living world and was widely cultivated."

"Therefore, the existence of Rendao should be far more than 600,000 years ago. It's just that the years are too long, the ancient times have become blurred, and the books have turned to dust."

"Lingxiao Habitat is located near the Blood Sea, with rivers of blood flowing underground, making it the best fertile land for rice people to grow."

"Therefore, the rice people have always wanted to take over this vast and fertile land and cultivate the entire habitat into rice paddies to nurture their offspring."

"That's why, for thousands of years, the cultivation of rice has been prohibited in the Lingxiao habitat, not only due to concerns about humanity and ethics, but also because of the terrifying reproductive capacity of the rice people and their unwavering ambition for this land from ancient times to the present."

"But even a thousand years ago, there were countless forces secretly cultivating rice in the Lingxiao habitat, which was impossible to eradicate. However, with the control of the imperial court, the rice people could not grow strong and could not appear in the open, so the lid of Pandora's box of disaster was always kept tightly closed."

At this point, Zen Sea Mist sighed softly, his eyes gazing northward.

That's the direction of Lingxiao City!

Li Weiyi had heard Zhao Zhizhuo mention it, and he had also looked into it himself, that the major powers in the world had long since begun to cultivate rice on a large scale.

First, select exceptionally talented cultivators from among them to train as assassins, soldiers, and retainers.

Secondly, it can be used to replenish the population. After all, wars between martial arts masters have an extremely high mortality rate, and fields need people to cultivate them and mines need people to extract them.

Thirdly, those without cultivation talent are sold as resources and commodities, enslaved, or used as playthings on the beds of martial arts masters. This is because buying and selling rice figures doesn't involve many disputes.

Some brutal rebels even fed their beast mounts with rice-like creatures.

When one group of people treats another as food or objects, issues of human ethics and humanity are magnified infinitely. Conflicts and hatred, distortions and extremism, then breed in the shadows unnoticed by anyone.

Zen Sea Observer said, "Your friend did indeed follow Wang Zhi and Yang Qingxi as they left Qiuzhou City. In Wang Zhi's memory, they should have arrived at a place called Qingyi Town, located about two hundred miles north of Qiuzhou City."

"Qingyi Town".

Li Weiyi remembered this place.

"Do you need me to go there?" Shi Jiuzhai asked.

Li Weiyi shook his head and said, "It's too dangerous. I have a better candidate."

"Then I will spend more time contacting people from heretical sects and gathering more information about the Twin Rice Cult."

Shi Jiuzhai sniffed hard, then leaped up and landed on top of the courtyard wall. Looking out at the night, he was somewhat nervous: "It's the scent of white roses emanating from that slut Shi Qiqing's body. The whole neighborhood will probably be filled with the fragrance of spring tonight. She must have tampered with me and has already found her way to the neighborhood!"

Li Weiyi laughed and said, "Ninth Brother seems a little afraid of her."

“This is the woman who makes Shi Liuyu flee at the mere scent of her… I’ll go and keep her occupied. Although the Jiuli tribe and the Earth Wolf King’s army are now cooperating, she’ll inevitably become suspicious if she discovers that we’re meeting in private,” Shi Jiuzhai said.

"Go ahead, I'll handle these two corpses. As for the Twin Rice Cult, have Yin Er inform Yin Jun about it."

After Shi Jiuzhai left, Li Weiyi took a deep sniff.

Indeed, there was a sweet fragrance in the air.

After smelling it, many beautiful images appeared in his mind, his heart raced, and when he looked at Zen Sea Mist beside him, he felt less fear and respect, and had an impulse to pull her into his arms.

On the distant artificial hill, Li Ling, who was keeping watch, was also breathing rapidly, and her cheeks were flushed.

"What an amazing scent of white roses!"

Li Weiyi quickly used the Jade Void Breathing Technique, instantly clearing his mind and suppressing distracting thoughts.

……

The next morning, as dawn broke.

The Qingyun Caravan was filled with men in black, all silent and tense.

Wang Shu, the fourth divine son of the Twin Rice Cult, wearing a golden mask that only covered the upper half of his face, stood beside two charred corpses, his calm gaze fixed on the broken small building next to him.

"Shh!"

The figure flashed.

He appeared in the building as if by teleportation, his pupils turning blood red.

Instantly, the entire world became crystal clear, down to the smallest detail, down to the individual grains of dust on the ground. The footprints where Shi Jiuzhai had stood the previous night, and the way Wang Zhi had crashed through the wall, were all vividly reconstructed in his mind.

The next moment, the Fourth Divine Child appeared on the street where Wang Zhi and Li Weiyi were fighting. The deep trenches on the ground were still there, and various traces were strung together into a picture in his mind.

Back at Qingyun Car Dealership, he examined the two corpses again and had a clear understanding of the situation.

An old man in black robes used the Golden Escape Technique. With a flash of golden light, he appeared beside the Fourth Divine Son, and his skin quickly returned from a metallic state to a fleshy state.

His face was completely covered by a hood, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "Have you found out anything? Who did it? Qingyun Car Dealership is an important intelligence base for us."

The Fourth Divine Child said coldly, "You are in charge of the affairs of Qiuzhou City. I have only just entered the city."

The old man in the black robe squatted down to examine him.

“No need to investigate further. It was done by that hidden man from the Nine Li Hidden Sect. It must have been that Sui Zong and Yang Qingxi made a mistake and were found here,” said the Fourth Divine Son.

The old man in black robes said, "Is that reclusive person preparing to regroup and has emerged from the shadow of despair?"

"Anyone who possesses seven Monarch-level rare insects can rebuild their confidence; this should be his last remaining strength. It's laughable, really. The Divine Cult wanted to capture him, but he ended up killing two Dao Seed Realm experts first. Go explain this to Venerable Nan yourself!" said the Fourth Divine Son.

The old man in black robes said, "The death flames within their bodies have been activated, which shows that the Nine Li Hidden Sect did not get anything out of them, and the losses are manageable."

"Controllable losses? My brother died right here, and you're telling me this is what controllable losses are?"

The Fourth Divine Child removed his mask, revealing a youthful face identical to Wang Zhi's. He then said, "I will definitely settle this score with Yang Qingxi. We must act as soon as possible to capture Li Weiyi. Stop saying that Peach Plum Mountain is a forbidden area; he can't stay on the mountain forever. The Nine Li Hidden Sect dares to oppose the Divine Sect, so let them pay a price and kill a few of their hidden members."

The old man in black robes was not afraid of the fourth divine son in front of him. The divine son was only high in talent and status, but his cultivation was not as good as his.

Those who inherit the legacy within the past sixty years are considered geniuses, worthy of being called divine sons and daughters.

The higher your cultivation level, the higher your ranking.

The reason why this Fourth Divine Child is targeting Yang Qingxi is because...

This is because Yang Qingxi, as the sixth goddess of the Dragon Seed Realm, has been cultivating at an extremely rapid pace in the past six months, reaching the second level of the Dao Seed Realm, and is gradually threatening the status of the other gods and goddesses.

Last night's losses were heavy, and the old man in black robes was at a disadvantage because he was in the wrong, so he could only deal with it cautiously. He said, "This is difficult! The Nine Li Hidden Sect is different from other hidden sects. It seems that there are very few people, and the selection method is strange. We only hear their name but never see them. The Divine Sect has tried many methods, but has never been able to infiltrate their ranks."

"If it's difficult, then let's not do it... Anyway, the sect is currently short of Dao Seedling Rice Fertilizer."

The Fourth Divine Son examined Wang Zhi's corpse again. The flesh and blood were severely burned, but the bones, Qi Sea, Feng Mansion, and Ancestral Field were not destroyed, and the inner world had not yet perished.

So, they took out a porcelain bottle.

Pour out the golden liquid.

The golden liquid turned into a rain of light, which fell on Wang Zhi's charred corpse, causing the shriveled body to gradually swell up.

This golden liquid was refined from the life-giving spring inside the rice plant that nurtured him and Wang Zhi; it could save their lives in critical moments.

Of course, Wang Zhi is now completely dead.

It's definitely beyond saving.

"One body, two lives; all rice plants share the same root."

The fourth divine son muttered something, placed one hand on Wang Zhi's ancestral field, and infused it with magical energy, which flowed throughout his body along the meridians.

At the same time, he ordered someone to cut his own wrists and drip his blood into the corpse.

As a large amount of blood entered, Wang Zhi, shrouded in golden light, grew new flesh and skin from his charred corpse.

"Snapped!"

The charred outer shell peeled off, revealing the intact corpse.

The fourth divine son suffered severe blood loss, losing about one-third of his blood. He immediately took a blood pill to replenish it.

Then, he took out a soul jar sealed with runes from his bag and performed a ritual that could only be performed between twins.

The old man in black robes realized that the Fourth Divine Son intended to refine Wang Zhi's corpse into a soul servant and a puppet substitute to enhance his own combat power.

This is a privilege enjoyed only by divine sons and daughters, and elders and above.

The soul jar contained powerful spirits that the Heavenly Principle Hall, the head of the four halls within the sect, had sent to suppress in the Netherworld of the Dead. These powerful spirits were then refined into soul seeds.

At this moment, the Fourth Divine Son was planting the Soul Seed and a wisp of his own will into Wang Zhi's ancestral field.

Using Wang Zhi's corpse as a medium, he controlled that powerful deceased spirit.

"Wow!"

A crimson glow flowed back and forth within the bodies of the Fourth Divine Child and Wang Zhi.

After the ritual ended, Wang Zhi, who was on the ground, let out a low whistle and stood up strangely, exuding an aura that even the old man in black robes was wary of.

Wang Zhi attempted to attack the Fourth Divine Son, but was forced to kneel on the ground by the latter's will.

"I'm leaving things here to you! That kid Long Ting asked to meet me, and I have to go."

The fourth divine son, carrying Wang Zhi, sank into the ground and used earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic-based escape technique) to leave.
