The Primordial Law

Chapter 289 Breakthrough, Two-Star Spiritual Master
The Nanqing Palace covers an area of ​​several hundred acres and contains more than fifty buildings of various sizes, including pavilions, terraces, towers, and halls. Li Weiyi cannot enter some of these areas.

Those areas were shrouded in formations, and the buildings inside were ancient and hazy, exuding a mysterious aura.

Li Weiyi was once curious and used his Heavenly Eye to carefully examine the interior of one of the large formations.

Inside was a black Buddhist pagoda, over twenty stories high. The courtyard was desolate, with crumbling walls and not a blade of grass growing. Through the door of the first floor, one could see a skeleton, bound by chains, sitting cross-legged.

The skeletons had clearly been dead for countless years, yet they still sent chills down Li Weiyi's spine and filled him with fear.

With his current cultivation level and experience, he could easily remain calm upon seeing ordinary skeletons. The feeling of dread he felt was undoubtedly a genuine sense of danger.

After several days of cleaning, Li Weiyi finally understood.

The jade palace with a hipped roof on the opposite bank of the Blood Lake, and several areas shrouded in formations, are most likely relics of the ancient Bhagavan religion.

Some places are sacred and magnificent, with every brick and tile crafted from precious materials.

Some places are eerie and dangerous, and are imprisoned by array formations.

The other buildings were likely constructed later by the Twin Rice Cult, but they are already several hundred years old.

After cleaning, Li Weiyi went to the place where Yao Qingxuan was meditating and cultivating.

He stood outside the curtain, not daring to rush in. Inside was a powerful figure in the Longevity Realm, whose mere stomp could stir up a storm in an entire province.

“Senior Yao, the task you assigned has been completed! From now on, you may entrust the cleaning of Nanqing Palace to this junior.”

Yao Qingxuan faced the stream, his back to the curtain, and said in a calm tone: "Judging from your behavior in the Hidden Dragon Lantern Society, I know that you are a person who combines strength and gentleness. You have an absolutely tough side when it comes to doing things, and you will fight for what you should fight for. At the same time, you can let go, retreat, and know how to hide your strengths. If you can put away your inner strength and compromise more when you come to the headquarters of the Divine Sect, you will have a chance to live."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to kneel down."

Li Weiyi stood upright with a solemn expression and asked, "Does that Lord of the Spirit Valley Palace intend to subdue me?"

“If a person has value, and that value can be used by others, then you have a way to survive. If it can’t be used, then you will be eliminated.” Yao Qingxuan continued, “Currently, Palace Master An is only interested in you. Whether he eliminates you or uses you is up to you to decide!”

Li Weiyi pondered for a moment: "Whether to use me or not is probably not just about value, is it? Trust is the most important thing. That Lord of Linggu Palace cannot trust me."

"Trust has its uses, and distrust has its uses. Value isn't just about cultivation talent. Think about it yourself!" Yao Qingxuan said.

Li Weiyi said, "This is a matter of life and death. Could Senior Yao explain it in more detail?"

"Wow!"

A gentle breeze carrying a faint fragrance swept through the curtains, and Li Weiyi felt lightheaded, the world spinning around her, and her vision blurring.

next moment.

With a thud, he rolled on the ground by the blood lake.

The place where Yao Qingxuan meditated and cultivated was now separated by many buildings and courtyard gates.

Li Weiyi sat up, moved her arms, and felt no resentment.

Yao Qingxuan may seem aloof and cold as an iceberg, but his words just now were quite sincere; he was earnestly giving him directions.

"Yaoyin's mother is ruthless towards other martial artists, capable of killing a whole bunch of people at once. But she seems quite lenient towards me."

"It seems that doing good deeds and accumulating virtue is the right thing to do. This is the key to changing one's fate and destiny. If I hadn't saved Yaoyin and helped her a lot, her situation today would definitely be very different."

Li Weiyi recalled taking the Lingtai Yanxing Stone fragment from the lampshade earlier.

Despite possessing such a treasure, Yao Qingxuan did not investigate it further.

If it weren't for Yao Yin's sake, how could she have let it go so easily?

With this thought in mind...

"Very well, now that I have the Spirit Platform Flame Star Stone in hand, I might as well push my mental power cultivation level again. More strength means more resources."

Li Weiyi took out the fragment of the Spirit Platform Flame Star Stone, closed his eyes to meditate, adjusted his state, and then pressed it to his brow.

"Wow!"

Ripples spread out in space.

Fragments of the Spirit Platform Star Stone appeared in the center of the Spirit Realm.

In the past few days, Li Weiyi has not only been cleaning the Nanqing Palace, but also refining the Starry Night Pill to strengthen his mental power.

The psychic star in the spirit realm has grown to its limit and is qualified to challenge for the second-level psychic master.

"Wow!"

The spiritual energy emanated from Li Weiyi, condensing into the light and shadow of two divine mulberry trees, rising up on the shore of the blood lake.

They radiate a bright and dazzling light, sparkling and continuously absorbing the light from the entire Nanqing Palace.

Except for the area shrouded by the two sacred mulberry trees, the rest of the place was plunged into darkness, so dark that one could not see their own hand in front of their face.

Even the light veils formed by the arrays were having their energy absorbed, and were quickly becoming dim.

Logically, his success rate in breaking through to the next realm would be much higher if he entered the Blood Mud Space and went to the true Fusang Divine Tree. However, living under the same roof as Yao Qingxuan, with her terrifying cultivation level, Li Weiyi really dared not take the risk.

The light and shadow of the Fusang Divine Tree seemed alive, its ability to absorb light growing stronger with each breath of Li Weiyi. Gradually...

Darkness spread beyond the Nanqing Palace, absorbing the light from an even wider area.

……

Four days later.

Yao Qingxuan and a woman dressed in white Buddhist robes stood in the green-tiled jade palace on the opposite bank of the Blood Lake. Through the window, the two women gazed at the shadows of the two increasingly tall Fusang divine trees on the lakeshore. Even with their cultivation levels, their hearts couldn't help but ripple with emotion.

At this moment, the two mulberry trees have grown to more than ten feet tall, supporting each other and creating a bright area of ​​light and rain.

Within the Light Rain area, the Flame Lotus in the lake is growing much better than the Flame Lotus in the Dark area. Its petals are like glass, and its life force is abundant, as if it has grown for several more years.

Li Weiyi sat in meditation under the shadows of two mulberry trees. Although he was a mortal, he possessed an otherworldly aura that even a pure immortal body could not match. He was ethereal and mysterious, like a celestial being in the mortal world, with a universe hidden within him.

Yao Qingxuan leaned against the window, her fair skin and ethereal beauty like a fairy maiden in a painting.

The white-robed hermit was an ordinary person with a plain appearance. He did not have the jade-like skin and unparalleled beauty of Yao Qingxuan, but he had a peaceful and comfortable temperament. He was compatible with all things in the world and did not bring people a sense of awe or pressure.

She is An Xianjing, the master of Linggu Palace.

He is also one of the two Bodhisattvas of Coffin Mountain, a giant of the Longevity Realm who has lived for 360 years, and one of the strongest below the Transcendent Realm.

An Xianjing used her slender right fingers to manipulate the red prayer beads and smiled, "The two mulberry trees support each other, their life force is vigorous, and the mental power around them is gradually condensing into golden crow flames. It seems that his spiritual light and shadow are indeed the legendary Fusang Divine Tree. He is truly remarkable. His martial arts are already amazing enough, but his mental power can also bring people amazement. If he walks the path of alchemy and weapon forging, he will surely achieve great success."

Yao Qingxuan's eyes were indifferent, his features as expressionless as an ice sculpture: "I wonder where Li Songgu found this seedling. He's really lucky."

An Xianjing withdrew her gaze and suddenly said, "Tang Wanzhou may have already arrived at the main altar, or found his way to the vicinity of the main altar."

"She didn't go out?" Yao Qingxuan asked.

"No."

The white-robed hermit gently shook his head: "Now it seems that at the Starfire Altar, she was only feigning defeat. Leading a large number of experts in to break in was just to lure us into making a move. Her real purpose was to find the way into the main altar. She is truly an extremely clever person. She is bold enough and intelligent enough."

“If she dares to storm the main altar, she will surely not return,” Yao Qingxuan said.

"Let the Heavenly Court handle this matter! If Tang Wanzhou really did sneak in, it's because they failed to guard the courtyard properly."

The white-robed hermit looked across the Blood Lake at the figure sitting cross-legged under the light and shadow of the two Fusang divine trees: "He has broken through! You should go to the Heavenly Principles Hall and I'd like to have a private talk with him. This young man is truly extraordinary. It would be a pity to kill him directly."

"If Tang Wanzhou really comes to the main altar, then it is my oversight. The Heavenly Principle Hall and the Withering Hall will definitely take advantage of this to seize power in the Southern Territory. This matter could be big or small, and I will investigate it personally."

Yao Qingxuan transformed into a wisp of white mist and disappeared by the window.

……

With the help of the Lingtai Yanxing Stone fragments, Li Weiyi condensed a second psychic star.

Two psychic stars revolve around each other at the center of the spirit realm, forming a binary star system and creating a vortex of psychic energy filled with light and mist.

The size of the psychic stars is no longer just the size of a mung bean; they have grown several times larger.

They were even brighter, like two golden pills.

Li Weiyi was excited. With his current mental power cultivation, he could activate the light blue eyes of the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish to form a time cocoon that could last much longer, enough to support long-term martial arts cultivation.

The Seventh Sea is just around the corner.

"A two-star Spiritual Master's combat strength should be comparable to that of an ordinary Dao Seed Realm second-level martial artist, right?"

Li Weiyi thought for a moment, then shook his head: "I haven't yet cultivated attack methods such as talisman techniques, formations, and mental arts. Without controlling insects, I'm afraid I still can't compete with martial artists at the second level of the Dao Seed Realm by relying solely on mental power."

A clear and melodious voice rang out from several feet away: "Not at all! A powerful mind master is like a successor in martial arts; their combat strength at the same level is far beyond that of an ordinary person. Your mind power can condense into Golden Crow Flame... Hmm, although it is only the thinnest and lowest grade of Golden Crow Flame, its attack power is still comparable to the first level of fire magic."

"With just your mental power, you can already rank in the middle of the second level of the Dao Seed Realm."

Li Weiyi never expected that strangers would break into Nanqing Palace.
Moreover, approaching silently indicates a high level of cultivation.

The key is this sound...

He looked at the white-robed hermit standing not far away, quickly stood up, and said uncertainly, "It's you... no, it's not you..."

Li Weiyi shook her head, then her gaze fell on the red prayer beads in the white-robed laywoman's hand, and she observed her tall figure.

The white-robed hermit she encountered outside Jiuli City, leading a large group of rice-man children, left a deep impression on Li Weiyi. Her beautiful voice, in particular, remained etched in her heart; it possessed a unique charm that was hard to forget.

At this moment, the white-robed hermit standing in front of him was very similar to the one from back then in terms of attire, figure, and voice.

But their appearances are completely different.

An Xianjing placed her left hand in front of her chest and bowed: "Amitabha! More than a year ago, you said that you would treat me to noodles again next time, and that you would give me as much as I wanted."

"Really you?"

Li Weiyi was surprised and looked her up and down, extremely astonished. He laughed and said, "So you are also a member of the Rice Sect... No wonder... It seems that your cultivation is not low. Not just anyone can enter the Nanqing Palace."
