The Primordial Law

Chapter 294 Brother-in-law
The two walked out of the gate of Nanqing Palace.

Li Weiyi sensed something, glanced into the forest, and cupped his hands, saying, "Master, please wait a moment."

Yao Qingxuan always maintained a cold and aloof demeanor, and nodded slightly.

Nanqing Palace is located south of Linggu Hall, in a relatively concentrated area of ​​buildings. It is backed by low mountains, borders the Blood River, and has dense forests in front that extend into the open rice paddies in the distance.

Zuo Sheng had met Li Weiyi before and was a seasoned man who had lived to be a hundred years old. Therefore, he was sent by the Fourth Divine Son to speak to Li Weiyi and inform him of the recent situation of Qi Xiao and Tuoba Butuo.

Unfortunately, Li Weiyi spent most of his time cultivating in Tanggu Sea and didn't hear his shouts at all.

So Zuo Sheng stood guard outside the Nanqing Palace, ready to return and report as soon as Li Weiyi appeared.

"He's finally out. It really is him. That's..."

Zuo Sheng saw Li Weiyi, and at the same time, he saw the ethereal white-clad woman standing next to him. He immediately gasped, realizing who she was.

Just as I was about to leave...

"Wow!"

The air became thick and sticky, as if one were trapped in a swamp.

"Oh no, I'm enveloped by telekinesis!"

Zuo Sheng's first reaction was that Venerable Nan wanted to deal with him, never expecting that this mental power came from Li Weiyi.

Because his mental power was too strong, even with his cultivation at the second level of the Dao Seed Realm, his ability to move was severely restricted.

Until he saw Li Weiyi rushing towards him with a sword in hand.

"Such a powerful aura."

Zuo Sheng was still in shock and immediately released his Dao Heart Manifestation. Countless ice crystal patterns spread out from his body, breaking through Li Weiyi's mental power restraint, and he hurriedly fled.

Three fiery whips flew out from between Li Weiyi's eyebrows, tearing through the void and sweeping outwards, forming three tiers of flame waves.

Zuo Sheng has cultivated for a hundred years and has extremely high attainments in Taoist arts. He has cultivated the minor technique "Ice Thorn Entanglement Technique" to the second level. Once used, it can double his combat power and is more powerful than ordinary hundred-character weapons.

Taoist arts are divided into minor arts, major arts, and imperial arts.

The Lesser Technique has only three levels and is the first choice for martial artists at the Dao Seed Realm.

It usually takes one or two years of hard work to master the first level.

To cultivate to the second level, one needs more than ten years to hone one's skills. The third level requires a full sixty years to have a chance of being cultivated.

Of course, for martial artists in the Longevity Realm, the time required to cultivate minor techniques will be greatly shortened.

The Great Technique, consisting of six levels, is the top choice for martial artists in the Longevity Realm and inheritors in the Dao Seed Realm.

Even when both are cultivated to the first level, the power of a major technique is far greater than that of a minor technique.

Moreover, the Great Technique has a fourth, fifth, and sixth level, with increasing power at each level, capable of destroying the heavens and the earth, and moving mountains and peaks. Only those who have lived for hundreds of years and are considered long-lived can cultivate the Great Technique to the sixth level.

Because Taoist arts are difficult to cultivate, the young generation of prodigies usually use high-grade magical artifacts to make up for the gap in combat power.

Older generations of martial arts practitioners preferred to use Taoist techniques.

Because Taoist arts can be used at will, they are not afraid of being taken away or destroyed, and they belong to oneself forever.

Moreover, many Taoist techniques can also promote breakthroughs in martial arts realms, with techniques and methods running in parallel and complementing each other.

"Bang! Bang..."

As soon as the second layer of the Ice Thorn Binding Technique was unleashed, more than a dozen icy thorns spread out from Zuo Sheng's body, colliding with the three Golden Crow Flame Whips released from Li Weiyi's brow in the void, creating a howling wind as they lashed out.

The scene was magnificent; in an instant, the entire jungle was swept away.

Everywhere was scorched ashes and frozen earth.

"What powerful Taoist techniques! With these techniques, Zuo Sheng is wielding a fourth-grade weapon with a hundred characters as if he were fighting me."

Li Weiyi used her fiery whip and telekinesis to hold him back, then used her movement technique to quickly pursue him, determined to keep him here.

A fourth-grade hundred-character artifact is worth several hundred thousand Yongquan coins. Even a martial artist at the second level of the Dao Seed Realm would have to empty their pockets to afford it.

But now, Zuo Sheng can unleash such combat power solely through Daoist techniques. And how could someone his age have only cultivated one type of Daoist technique?
Unfortunately, he ran into Li Weiyi.

Li Weiyi wore the Blood Handprint Demon Armor, a ninth-grade weapon of the Hundred Character level. Such defense was not something that could be penetrated by ordinary techniques. Although Li Weiyi had not yet reached the Dao Seed Realm and could not unleash the true power of the Blood Handprint Demon Armor.

Activating the defense of the Bleeding Handprint Demon Armor, Li Weiyi traversed through the icy thorns, feeling the chill that cut his face. Upon approaching, he slashed down with his sword.

The two defensive icy thorns were severed, and Zuo Sheng was blasted away, his protective aura shattered.

"How can you be so strong?"

Zuo Sheng was terrified and used his escape technique.

"Wow!"

Li Weiyi's brows flickered, and his telekinetic attack transformed into a spiderweb, layer upon layer covering his body.

Zuo Sheng's greatest strength lies in his escape techniques; even if he encounters a master from the "Jiazi Book," he still has a chance to escape.

However, being enveloped by psychic power severely limited his magic, and even his mind and reactions became rigid, so he was quickly caught up by Li Weiyi.

Zuo Sheng manipulated the Frosty Thorns, retreating while blocking Li Weiyi's sword: "Qi Xiao and Tuoba Butuo are both in the hands of the Fourth Divine Son, Li Weiyi, do not be presumptuous."

Hearing this, Li Weiyi's eyes grew even colder. He dared not use his six-zhang-high battle technique, but his sword moves became faster and faster, forcing Zuo Sheng into perilous situations.

"This is the headquarters of the Divine Sect. Don't be so arrogant! If you dare to kill me, even Venerable Nan cannot protect you. The Ku Rong Palace will tear you to pieces and throw you into the rice paddies to feed the rice."

Zuo Sheng's teleportation space was getting smaller and smaller, and he lost more and more confidence as the battle progressed. He felt that his hundred years of cultivation was a joke, and he was being forced to the point of being powerless by a junior who had only been cultivating for two years.

"Wow!"

"Crack!"

Li Weiyi severed all the icy thorns released by Zuo Sheng, his figure shifting unpredictably, and slashed Zuo Sheng's shoulder with his sword.

Zuo Sheng activated his second-grade hundred-character weapon battle armor to resist the force, dissipating most of the power. His body was thrown out and fell more than ten feet away, rolling on the ground.

Li Weiyi didn't give Zuo Sheng a chance to stand up again, and stepped on the jade cauldron, causing the light and shadow to crash down.

The earth sank, creating a crater two zhang in size. Even someone at the second level of the Dao Seed Realm couldn't withstand it; their bones cracked, they were severely injured on the spot, coughed up blood, and could no longer get up.

“Li Wei… one… one, you can’t kill me… I know who’s behind Zuoqiu Qingying… She wants to kill you… The Zuoqiu Clan wants to deal with you from someone even more powerful…”

As people get older, they become more afraid of death, and Zuo Sheng was no exception, lying at the bottom of the pit begging for mercy.

Li Wei rushed into the pit, took off Zuo Sheng's second-grade hundred-character weapon battle armor, and also snatched the boundary bag.

He's very sensible; how could he possibly kill Zuo Sheng?

Zuo Sheng is most useful when he is alive.

He's currently in dire need of money; with money, reaching the Dao Seed Realm will be just around the corner.

Besides Zuo Sheng guarding the Nanqing Palace, Yang Yun, who was also homeless, was also staking out the area nearby.

Yang Yun couldn't escape and was dragged over by the six Phoenix-Winged Moth Queens. He had lost all his former arrogance, and his legs went weak. He knelt down and cried out, "Brother-in-law, please give me back my money! If you don't get it back, my sister will abandon me as her brother! Now, I can't even go back to the Goddess's Mansion. I'm wandering outside like a lost soul."

Li Weiyi was caught off guard by his unexpected move and moved aside, not daring to accept his grand gesture: "Get up, don't shout nonsense."

"Brother-in-law, I was wrong, I must have been wrong before. Please, for the sake of us being family, give me a way out!" Yang Yun cried, crawling on his knees.

Li Weiyi changed direction again to avoid him, and noticed that many onlookers had appeared in the distance, all of whom were core disciples and true disciples of the Twin Rice Sect.

"Get up first. I happen to have something I need you to do for me. If you can do it, I'll figure out how to deal with your sister."

Yang Yun looked up, a look of delight on his face: "Those 100,000 Yongquan coins?"

"If you're willing to kneel, then keep kneeling."

Li Weiyi squatted down, touched Zuo Sheng's left leg, and suddenly exerted force with both hands.

"Oh!"

Zuo Sheng screamed in agony as his left leg bone broke.

Yang Yun was struck by the familiar memories and stood up with lightning speed, standing ramrod straight: "Brother-in-law, if there's anything you need, just let me know."

Li Weiyi said, "Go to the Fourth Divine Son for me and tell him that Zuo Sheng is in my hands. He can redeem Zuo Sheng with 500,000 Yongquan coins. This price is fair. If he, as the Divine Son, can bear to watch his followers live in pain and does nothing to help them, then I'm afraid no one will follow him in the future."

“Tell him exactly what I just said, not a single word of it can be omitted.”

Yang Yun was not stupid; he knew what the consequences would be if he got involved in this matter.

Li Weiyi was not only using him, but also trying to drag his sister into it.

"Oh!"

Zuo Sheng's right leg was also broken.

Yang Yun was on the verge of tears, filled with regret. She trembled as she said, "Brother-in-law, this isn't a way out, it's driving me to my doom."

Li Weiyi broke Zuo Sheng's hands and limbs to prevent him from escaping; this was the most barbaric and also the safest method.

He stood up, walked over, and patted Yang Yun on the shoulder: "It's just passing on a message, don't overthink it. I am now also a member of the Divine Cult, a disciple of Venerable Nan."

"what?"

Yang Yun was stunned, his scalp tingling and then going numb.

"gone!"

Yao Qingxuan had long lost his patience and headed towards the Linggu Palace first.

Li Weiyi threw Zuo Sheng into the Nanqing Palace, ordered six Phoenix-Winged Moth Queens to guard him, and walked out again, passing by Yang Yun: "Are you stupid? If you do things for me, it means I won't kill you. Ten thousand Yongquan coins to buy a life, what's so expensive about that?"

Yang Yun was so frightened that he shrank back and knelt on the ground.

Only then did he remember that he had almost killed Li Weiyi.

"Brother-in-law, don't worry, I'll take care of this!"

Yang Yun scrambled away, not heading to the Fourth Divine Son's residence, but rushing back to Yang Qingxi's Goddess's residence to bring back the explosive news that Li Weiyi had become Nan Zun Zhe's disciple.

Li Weiyi knew very well that he couldn't let Wang Shu lead him by the nose, and he couldn't go to Wang Shu's home turf to rescue people, because that would be too passive.

Therefore, Zuo Sheng's card must be played to its fullest potential.

The deliberate breaking of Zuo Sheng's limbs was also a show for the disciples of the Twin Rice Cult, to force Wang Shu to take the initiative.

He was the Son of God, representing the face of the Twin Rice Cult. He enjoyed the glory, and thus was placed on a pedestal.

Yao Qingxuan said, "You're new here. Even if you become my disciple, don't go too far. Everything must be within the rules. If you incur the wrath of the younger generation, I won't be able to protect you. Cultivating Golden Rice is what you should be doing."

"They first used puppetry to assassinate you with scarecrows, and then Zuo Sheng brazenly hid outside the Nanqing Palace to monitor your residence, Master, plotting something sinister. How could we tolerate this? It's perfectly reasonable for me to deal with him," Li Weiyi said.

Yao Qingxuan said, "Wang Shu has been at the third stage of the Dao Seed Realm for three years, and he is very close to the fourth stage and condensing the Dao Lotus. You are no match for him!"

Li Weiyi asked, "Actually, I've always had a question in my mind. Wang Shu, he's not a pure immortal body, so how was he able to become a divine child?"

Yao Qingxuan said, "A body with all 100 meridians and pure silver immortal body is the standard for a genius at the level of inheritor in the Five Seas Realm, but it may not be able to keep up when one reaches the Dao Seed Realm."

“Martial cultivators who lag behind in the Five Seas Realm have a chance to catch up once they reach the Dao Seed Realm. However, it is extremely difficult and requires great effort, great opportunity, or great enlightenment.”

"Cultivation is like rowing against the current; you have to compete at every stage, and there is always someone who can catch up with you."

Li Weiyi asked, "Which category does the art of kingship belong to?"

Yao Qingxuan said, "He has extremely high comprehension, especially in the cultivation of Dao techniques. Only three years after breaking through the Dao Seed Realm, he successfully cultivated the first level of the great technique 'Golden Armor Mountain Moving Technique'. With golden armor protecting his body, he gained extraordinary strength. His physical strength alone was comparable to that of the inheritors of the same realm, and with this, he became a divine son in one fell swoop."

"If he can master the second level of the Golden Armor Mountain Moving Technique, he can instantly use this technique to forge a Dao Lotus and reach the fourth level of the Dao Seed Realm."

"Before this, among the young geniuses below the fourth level of the Divine Cult's Dao Seed Realm, even those who were inheritors, none of them had been able to cultivate a great technique."

"Great techniques are infinitely mysterious and cannot be acquired simply by spending time; they are attack methods cultivated by giants in the Longevity Realm."
