The Primordial Law

Chapter 286 The Main Altar of the Rice Cult
Six phoenix-winged moths fluttered joyfully across the lake, occasionally taking a bite of the flame lotus. Reaching the shore, they flew to Li Weiyi's side, chattering incessantly.

Sanfeng told Li Weiyi that Yaoyin treated them very well, and they could eat the exotic flowers and plants in the yard as they pleased.

"Are you stupid? Don't you recognize Yao Yin? She just looks like her."

Li Weiyi grabbed Sanfeng's wings and gave her a good scolding.

The woman in white, her figure as beautiful as a painting, walked along the lakeside stone path lined with black trees. Her clear, cold voice rang out: "Did you give up Yaoyin's spot to cultivate at the Du'e Temple?"

Li Weiyi released Sanfeng and looked at her warily.

This was a powerful figure in the Longevity Realm; even Tang Wanzhou was severely injured by her palm strike.

"How did you know?"

Li Weiyi felt a powerful mental pressure, as if it wasn't a stunningly beautiful woman approaching, but rather a towering wave dozens of feet high pressing down on her layer by layer.

The woman in white stopped six or seven zhang away, her hands hidden in her wide sleeves, her body shimmering with light and surrounded by mist: "I not only know that you gave her the cultivation spot, but I also know that you helped her cultivate the battle intent of the Nine Li God, in the silver coffin in Qin Garden. Fortunately, you treated her well, so you have a chance to live."

Li Weiyi was deeply shocked; the other party must have secretly visited Qinyuan.

Or... is there someone among the hidden people who is her?

Yao's voice? Hidden twenty-four?
"Are you really Yao Qingxuan?" Li Weiyi asked.

The woman in white did not respond to him, but stared at him for a moment: "One hundred and eight veins, thirty-six thousand in the Feng Mansion, all veins are gold, it has a bit of an unparalleled quality, quite a talent."

"Senior Yao, aren't you being incredibly disrespectful of a junior's privacy?"

Li Weiyi quickly examined his inner self and found that, strangely, the Divine Gate and the twelve golden veins connected to it had indeed disappeared! But... he could sense that they were still there.

Who did it?
Is the taciturn protector's wife hiding?
It's good that nothing was found.

The woman in white asked, "Has your ancestral land been restored?"

“That’s right. The ancestor of the Zuoqiu School of Confucianism and Taoism used the extremely precious Ancient Emperor’s Spring Liquid to repair my shattered ancestral fields,” Li Weiyi said.

The woman in white said, "A reasonable explanation, but the answer was too quick and too practiced, so the truth is questionable. It doesn't matter, whether you're crippled or not is the same. I'm just a little curious about your physique. The person who really wants to see you is not me, but the Lord of Linggu Palace."

Li Weiyi did not try to explain or make amends, as the more she explained, the more suspicious people would become.

We need to be more careful in the future.

He pondered to himself whether he could secure a way out by relying on his connection with Yao Yin. So he quickly followed the woman in white and asked as respectfully as possible, "Senior Yao, may I ask why the Lord of Linggu Palace wants to see me? And when will you see me?"

The woman in white walked forward without saying a word, taking two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters) at a time.

She walked with small, graceful steps, as if she could shrink to an inch.

Back at her residence, she saw the missing fragment of the Spirit Platform Flame Star Stone within the lampshade, and her expression froze for a moment. Another fragment of the Spirit Platform Flame Star Stone appeared between her fingers and flicked into the lampshade.

"Before the Lord of Linggu Palace returns, you shall stay obediently in Nanqing Palace. If you are determined to die, you may leave, but you must know that this is the headquarters of the Divine Sect."

"Furthermore, if you touch my Spirit Platform Flame Star Stone again, I will sever your hands."

The woman in white passed through the beaded curtain and screen and entered the semi-open room. She sat down on a futon by the stream and became completely still, as if petrified.

Li Weiyi asked, "The headquarters of the Divine Cult? Which Divine Cult? The Twin Rice Cult?"

"When will the Lord of Linggu Palace return?"

"Yaoyin and I are as close as siblings. Senior Yao, could you please show me a way out? I have great talent and can protect her in the future."

“I saved Yaoyin’s life, you have to help me.”

……

Li Weiyi talked for a long time and tried various methods, but the woman in white just ignored him. Helpless, he had no choice but to say goodbye and leave.

After leaving, he quickly took off his second-grade hundred-character weapon battle armor.

This is the battle armor of Zuo Shi, the rice man lurking inside Zuoqiu Gate.

If we are truly at the headquarters of the Twin Rice Cult now, we must be extremely careful.

Is the headquarters of the Twin Rice Cult located in an underground immortal abode?
This news left Li Weiyi struggling to process for a long time!

The Twin Rice Cult certainly didn't just move its headquarters to the underground immortal abode ten months ago. Rather, it has been entrenched here for countless years!

Could there be another entrance to the underground immortal abode?

After careful consideration, Li Weiyi finally understood why Yao Qingxuan had knocked him unconscious earlier.

This is to prevent him from knowing the way to the main altar of the Twin Rice Cult!

Therefore, the dangers encountered by those martial artists who explored the underground immortal abode were most likely due to secret attacks by the Twin Rice Sect.

Is the fact that giants of the Longevity Realm cannot enter the underground immortal abode also the work of the Twin Rice Cult?
The more Li Weiyi thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was of great importance. Could it be that Zen Hai Guan Wu came to investigate because he discovered this secret in the memories of Wang Zhi and Wang Shouxin?

Did she and her three masters find the main altar?
Perhaps it's still lingering on the outskirts of the underground immortal abode.

Upon seeing the governor's robe inside the Blood Handprint Demon Armor, Li Weiyi quickly took it off and put it into his bag. He was filled with doubt and unease, wondering if Yao Qingxuan had examined the governor's robe.

should not.

If they had investigated, how could he still be wearing the governor's robe?

"I don't know what kind of background that Lord of Linggu Palace is. He is probably not a good person. Perhaps he also wants to explore my physique and then possess my body."

"Yao Qingxuan is too cold-hearted! If she cared about Yao Yin, how could she have abandoned Yao Yin in the Yao Li tribe and ignored her for more than ten years? Yao Yin's life has not been easy."

"If she doesn't care about Yaoyin, why does she know so much about Yaoyin's recent situation?"

"Forget it, I can't pin my hopes for survival on a woman who would abandon her daughter. Anyway, she only said it was dangerous outside, she didn't say I couldn't go out."

Thinking of this, Li Weiyi no longer hesitated and decided to leave Nanqing Palace to see how terrifying the so-called headquarters of the Divine Cult really was, and perhaps find a way to escape.

With the six little ones by their side, they found the insect bag that Yao Qingxuan had thrown on the ground. They put the six little ones into the insect bag.

Li Weiyi searched every exit of the Nanqing Palace and even tried to climb over the palace walls, but all attempts ended in failure.

Finally, he arrived at the southeast corner of the Blood Lake.

There is a two-meter-wide river of blood here, the water of which flows in from outside and continuously pours into the lake.

Since water can flow in...

"Wow!"

Li Weiyi swam upstream along the Blood River and finally left the Nanqing Palace.

After getting ashore, he used his magical energy to evaporate the river water from his body. Looking at the desolate, vast palace and gardens behind him, he muttered to himself, "Even the best plans can have flaws? Perhaps she doesn't care at all, after all, this is the headquarters of some kind of cult."

Footsteps sounded.

Two twin boys carrying skull lamps walked from a distance.

They looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old and were dressed in dark green martial arts uniforms.

The black cuffs were embroidered with two blood-red spirit grains.

Li Weiyi could tell that their cultivation level was not low; they were martial artists at the Fifth Sea Realm.

So young, with a bright future ahead.

He was observing the two men, and they were also secretly observing him.

As the two approached, Li Weiyi said coldly, "What are you looking at? Do you know who I am?"

The two youths could tell that this person's cultivation was unfathomable, so they dared not provoke him and shook their heads repeatedly.

Li Weiyi straightened his chest, put one hand behind his back, and pointed his thumb behind him: "I am a member of the Nanqing Palace!"

The two boys were shocked and quickly bowed, saying in unison, "Greetings, Senior Brother! So you are one of Venerable Nan's men. We are truly sorry for our disrespect."

"Yao Qingxuan is the Southern Venerable?" Li Weiyi could only keep these words to himself.

He had heard Yin Jiu say that the Twin Rice Sect had five Venerables who were in charge of the affairs of the four borders of the East, South, West, and North, as well as Lingxiao City.

The Southern Venerable and the seven elders under his command—Qiu, Li, Li, Han, Fu, Guan, and Shu—are responsible for affairs in the southern region.

One of the boys asked with some doubt, "I heard that Venerable Nan never accepts disciples, lives a secluded life, and is extremely mysterious. Disciples of Nanqing Palace are almost never seen at the main altar."

"What, are you doubting my identity?" Li Weiyi released his battle intent.

Most people in the evil path bully the weak and fear the strong, so Li Weiyi naturally borrowed the tiger skin of Venerable Nan to establish a powerful banner for himself.

At the same time, it was also a way to test Yao Qingxuan's bottom line.

It was right outside the Nanqing Palace; there was no way she wouldn't sense it.

The two youths were forced to their knees by Li Weiyi's will, their voices trembling as they said, "We dare not doubt you, senior brother. It's just that you weren't wearing a straw robe, and you've never appeared in the training grounds or lecture halls before. You're quite unfamiliar with us, so... so, senior brother, please put away your battle intent. We are just two inner disciples who have just broken through to the Five Seas Realm..."

Li Weiyi gleaned a considerable amount of information, glanced at the straw robes they wore, withdrew his battle intent from his body, and snorted, "Only low-level inner disciples like you are required to wear straw robes. Who am I? Even the Fourth Divine Son, Wang Shu, has to give me some face."

I learned the name "Wang Shu" from Long Ting.

The two boys stood up, still shaken, not daring to look up. One of them said, "Of course, anyone chosen by Venerable Nan must be a true disciple of the sect, and a great one at that."

The other person whispered, "Senior brother, can we leave now?"

Seeing that they were easy to manipulate, Li Weiyi maintained a cold and arrogant demeanor and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Linggu Palace!"

"The true disciples of Ye Nanfeng and Ye Beifeng will be in the lecture hall today to instruct the newly promoted inner disciples on some knowledge about breaking through the Qi Sea and opening the String Meridians."

The two answered cautiously.

"Does this even need someone to tell you? Useless!"

Li Weiyi snorted disdainfully, then a thought struck him: he could take this opportunity to explore what kind of place the Spirit Valley Palace really was.
After the two left, he used a disguise technique to change his appearance and figure, and quietly followed them.

The main altar is so large that it contains numerous Heavenly Law Earthly Spring Dao Domains rich in magical energy, forming various cultivation gathering areas.

Some cultivation settlements are built atop a sacred mountain thousands of meters high. Some settlements are built along lakes. Some settlements are even towns.

Li Weiyi gradually realized that his worries were completely unnecessary. The number of martial artists at the Rice Cult headquarters was enormous, with at least several hundred martial artists in each gathering area, so there was no need to worry about his identity being exposed.

"Let's solve the problem of the rice husks first, otherwise, they'll be too conspicuous!"

Li Weiyi landed outside a cultivation gathering area that resembled a market town, glanced at the two stone statues of the Rice Ancestor at the town entrance, and swaggered into the town.

The town is small, with only one street, about two or three hundred meters long, featuring blue tiles and white walls.

Along the streets, there are many twin rice figures setting up stalls, selling precious medicines, ancient artifacts, ferocious insects, golden Buddha statues, Buddha steles... all of which seem to have been unearthed from underground fairy palaces.

A significant proportion of the pedestrians on the street were wearing masks, as if to conceal their identities.

"I wonder if they sell fragments of the Spirit Platform Flame Star Stone."

Just as Li Weiyi had this thought, a familiar voice rang in his ears.

"Your insect eggs can really hatch into commander-level extraordinary insects? I find it hard to believe. Hehe, let me warn you, although I am only an inner disciple, I have a powerful backer. If you dare to lie to me, the consequences will be severe."

Not far away, Yang Yun, wearing a black demon mask, spoke in a sinister tone to a core disciple who was setting up a stall.
