The Primordial Law

Chapter 311 Conferring the Title of Divine Child
"Rumors can be deadly. I haven't reached the pinnacle of my cultivation; I've only just begun," Li Weiyi explained with a wry smile.

In just a few days, he has mastered such a powerful technique. It's astonishing. Who knows, he might bring about his own demise because of envy and jealousy.

Beginner, intermediate, advanced.

The three realms are worlds apart.

Under An Xianjing's prompting, Li Weiyi began to perform the technique with great skill. His opponent's cultivation and discernment were extraordinary; the more he tried to deceive, the more likely he was to backfire.

Recalling the scriptures he had previously studied, he pinched his fingers with his left hand, as if the Buddha were holding up a flower, and the spiritual energy within his body circulated, flowing towards his left hand along a special route.

The energy flows to the palm, as if flowing into a vortex, and rotates three times.

Immediately, a scorching power was generated in his palm, as if it were burning.

"Extinction Finger Technique!"

"Wow!"

A powerful strike with the fingers.

A bright beam of light flew out from the fingertip.

With a loud crash, a decorative rock several meters away was smashed through, leaving a hole the size of a bowl.

An Xianjing nodded gently: "It is indeed the first level of entry. How long have you been cultivating?"

"I haven't started cultivating yet! I plan to finish reading all the classic texts, and then dedicate some of my energy to studying and cultivating." Li Weiyi felt that An Xianjing's gaze was sharp and went straight to his heart. There was no way he could lie about this.

"..."

An Xianjing's forehead was covered in black lines: "Be serious, how long have you been cultivating?"

"About eight or nine days ago, I went to the Linggu Hall with my master and read books for half a day. But later I was busy cultivating my mental power and neglected this matter. I haven't had time to study it in depth."

Li Weiyi said seriously, "Before this, I had no access to the Six Like Burning Karma Technique."

An Xianjing stared intently at him, recalling their first meeting two years ago and the dramatic changes he had undergone since then.

At that time, he was at most a warm-hearted young man, still in the Yongquan stage at the age of twenty, and would hardly achieve anything in his life.

Now, he exudes a striking and extraordinary aura that attracts women's attention. His intelligence, martial arts, and mental strength have all caught up with the top figures of his age. He can calmly face even a Great Immortal who has cultivated for hundreds of years.

Such a speed of cultivation is simply unbelievable.

Is he even more exceptional in terms of comprehension?
An Xianjing silently processed her surprise, while also feeling puzzled.

Xu Tingsheng clearly said that he had already mastered the first level, so why is he only at the entry level?
Seeing that An Xianjing remained silent for a long time, Li Weiyi was afraid that his biggest backer in the Twin Rice Sect was suspicious of something, so he quickly explained: "They must have misunderstood! The reason they think that I have mastered the first level of the Six Like Burning Karma Technique is probably because I have integrated my mental power and the Golden Crow Flame into the Taoist technique."

An Xianjing's eyes showed a look of confusion: "What did you say? You can integrate your mental power into the Six Like Burning Karma Technique?"

Li Weiyi spoke in a probing tone: "This is how I understand it. The Six Like Burning Karma Technique is a remnant of the Bhagavan religion. From what I know, Buddhist practitioners cultivate both inner and outer aspects, first cultivating the mind and then the body, so they must place great importance on mental power. Therefore, how could they not study the Taoist art that unifies martial arts and mental power?"

An Xianjing pondered for a moment, then said, "Show it."

Li Weiyi did as instructed and released the light and shadow of the Fusang Divine Tree.

He unleashed the first level of the Six Incineration Technique, the Annihilation Finger Technique. With a single finger strike, he instantly merged his mental power, magical energy, and the Golden Crow Flame into one.

The power gathers and then explodes forth.

A scorching heatwave swept across the land.

"Wow!"

"Boom!"

The decorative rock, three or four meters high, collided with the finger's force, creating a cloud of fire before exploding. The rubble fell to the ground, some showing signs of melting.

The whole world seemed to stand still.

An Xianjing's expression froze at this moment, as if the dark clouds that had been hanging over her mind had been dispersed by this finger, and she felt a sense of sudden enlightenment.

She also cultivates mental power.

But that's because progress in martial arts is slow, cultivation becomes tedious, and people do it in order to find another way to perceive the Great Dao, without really taking it seriously.

Even so, after two or three hundred years of accumulation, his mental power has only reached the initial level of a Holy Spirit Mentalist.

Compared to martial arts, it can be said to be dispensable.

"If we can take the Six-fold Burning Karma Technique of the sixth level to the next level and evolve it into the seventh level, we might be able to open the door to transcendence in one fell swoop."

An Xianjing was lost in her own inner world and immediately tried to make a finger gesture, allowing the magical energy and mental power to converge in her palm.

However, it ended in failure.

The magical energy instantly overwhelmed the mental power.

The second time, she mobilized the same intensity of magical energy and mental power, but the two forces clashed with each other.

The third time, she tried to imitate Li Weiyi, making her mental power stronger than her magical energy. The result, however, was that she couldn't even unleash the Annihilation Finger Technique.

Li Weiyi waited quietly to the side, full of questions.

Because, on the other side, An Xianjing stood still, her left hand slightly raised at her waist, repeatedly forming hand seals, but she just wouldn't use them.

Are they afraid that if they unleash it, its destructive power will be too great?
An Xianjing noticed his gaze and stopped. As a senior expert, she naturally wouldn't ask for his advice. Composing herself, she asked calmly, "How did you come up with the idea of ​​combining mental power with the Sixfold Karma Burning Technique?"

Li Weiyi said, "Senior An, I already said that!"

“I know! What I mean is, you haven’t cultivated at all, so how are you able to combine the two powers?” An Xianjing asked.

Li Weiyi understood her meaning and said, "The first time I used this finger technique, I felt my entire body's mental energy being drawn together. So, the second time I tried to fuse it, and it actually worked. Senior An has cultivated the Six Like Burning Karma Technique for three hundred years, and you've never tried it?"

An Xianjing had already tried various methods, but the situation Li Weiyi described hadn't occurred. "Whoosh!"

She flashed to Li Weiyi's side, placing a hand on his shoulder: "Show it again?"

Li Weiyi secretly scoffed. He had initially thought that her cultivation level was too high, preventing her from using the Six Like Burning Karma Technique in Nanqing Palace. Now it seemed that her finger-pinching technique earlier hadn't actually been successfully executed.

After cultivating for hundreds of years, you still can't even integrate your spiritual energy and mental power?

Under An Xianjing's instructions, Li Weiyi used the Annihilation Finger Technique more than ten times in a row.

Next, she sat there alone, fiddling with her fingers, but after several hours, there seemed to be no progress.

Elder Xu came to Nanqing Palace to report, bowing from afar and not daring to look directly at him: "The Palace Master said before that he would return to the ground today. Someone from the Tianxia Palace came to ask when the Palace Master will depart?"

"Tell the Hall of Heaven that I have important matters to attend to and will be delayed for a while. In the Eastern Territory, have them go to Coffin Mountain to invite Senior Brother to handle the matter temporarily," An Xianjing said.

Elder Xu asked cautiously, "How long will the Palace Master need to stay? So that we can give them a heads-up."

"I don't know, you should go ahead!"

For An Xianjing, pursuing a transcendent state of mind is more important than anything else.

Elder Xu naturally dared not ask any more questions. Compared to An Xianjing, who had cultivated for 360 years, the difference between the two was like that between a mortal and an immortal.

Li Weiyi escorted Elder Xu to the entrance of Nanqing Palace, clasped his hands in a fist and smiled, "Thank you for your help that day, Elder Xu."

"We're all family here, don't stand on ceremony."

Elder Xu lowered his voice and asked telepathically, "What's wrong with the Palace Master?"

"It seems the Palace Master has suddenly gained some insight and entered a crucial period of cultivation," Li Weiyi said.

Elder Xu was moved, then overjoyed: "The Palace Master must have comprehended that realm, otherwise he would never have abandoned such important matters outside. These are turbulent times. Your Highness, I entrust the Southern Qing Palace to you. Take good care of the Palace Master. If you need anything, just send a message."

Li Weiyi was having a major headache. An Xianjing's constant presence in Nanqing Palace was like a ticking time bomb. If she discovered Tang Wanzhou, Tang Wanzhou would certainly be doomed. He feared that Li Weiyi wouldn't fare any better.

Others might at most keep a mistress in a gilded cage.

He's hiding a young prince in a golden house, and he's even borrowed Yao Qingxuan's golden house. "Audacious" doesn't even begin to describe it.

Suddenly snapping out of his jumbled thoughts, Li Weiyi asked, "What did Elder Xu just call me?"

Elder Xu smiled amiably: "Hasn't the Palace Master told you yet? You killed the Fourth Divine Son, and the Heavenly Principle Palace and the Withering and Flourishing Palace have a lot of complaints, considering it a serious loss to the Divine Sect. To make up for the loss, you are now the Fourth Divine Son!"

Li Weiyi was completely exasperated: "Such a momentous matter as the investiture of a divine son was decided by them with just a few words?"

"If their temple masters get together, won't it be decided right away?"

Elder Xu continued, “Your Highness, be careful when you leave Nanqing Palace. You are now the fourth Divine Son, which means that Sikong Jingyuan and Sikong Yanlun, who are ranked fifth, can challenge you at any time. Of course, they will not dare to kill you easily, but if you lose, it is within the scope of the Divine Sect’s rules to have your treasures taken away.”

Li Weiyi said, "Making me the fourth divine son, isn't that just setting me up?"

Inside the Nanqing Palace, An Xianjing's voice rang out: "Li Weiyi, come to see me."

"Her Highness is truly a favorite of the Palace Master. How could we possibly have the right to see her normally? A single instruction from the Palace Master would be a lifelong benefit."

Elder Xu looked on with envy and took his leave.

Li Weiyi turned around and returned to the palace.

An Xian sat quietly by the golden rice paddy, watching Li Weiyi walk into the array's veil of light: "When I cultivated the first and second levels of the Six Like Burning Karma Technique, I absorbed a lot of Ember Spirit Fire to achieve mastery. How did you cultivate the Golden Crow Flame in your mental power?"

She was thinking about the only difference between her and Li, trying to find the reason within it.

Li Weiyi said, "Isn't the light of the sun the flame of the Golden Crow?"

"Then how did you cultivate the light and shadow of the Fusang Divine Tree?" An Xianjing asked.

"This is a meditation method I created myself. It involves imagining yourself as the Fusang Divine Tree, absorbing the sun's radiance," Li Weiyi said, half-jokingly.

Create your own meditation method?
An Xianjing felt this was unrealistic, but she had never heard of anyone else cultivating the light and shadow spirit of the Fusang Divine Tree.

She naturally couldn't change her meditation method now, and immediately her face became solemn as she fell into deep thought.

Li Weiyi said cautiously, "Palace Master, you don't need to follow my path..."

"What did you say? When am I supposed to follow your path? Whether your path will even be viable is still unknown." An Xianjing naturally had her own dignity and self-respect. In her eyes, Li Weiyi was still just a big boy.

Even Li Weiyi could tell that An Xianjing was being disingenuous, fearing that she would continue to investigate him. She had already noticed the Golden Crow Flame and the Fusang Divine Tree. In a few days, she would probably conduct a full-body examination on him, or she might notice the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish and the Yellow Dragon Sword.

So he said, "The temple master has been practicing Buddhism for many years, do you know the true meaning of the Six Realms?"

An Xianjing snapped out of her reverie and looked at him.

"Six Likenesses"—isn't that the name of this great technique?

Li Weiyi, of course, did not know the true meaning of the Six Suchnesses, but he did know the well-known Buddhist saying: "All conditioned phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, shadows, dew, and lightning; thus should they be viewed." Therefore, the Six Suchnesses refer to dreams, illusions, bubbles, shadows, dew, and lightning. Has the Palace Master not heard of this famous Buddhist saying?

“The Buddhist scriptures unearthed from the underground immortal abode are as vast as the ocean. How could I possibly have read them all? Where did you get them?” An Xianjing asked.

Li Weiyi said, "I heard it from a wandering monk."

An Xianjing seemed to suddenly remember something, and murmured to herself, "Thus be it, thus be it... I feel like I've seen it somewhere before..."

"Shh!"

She transformed into a mist of light and vanished.

Before long, she returned with a heavy jade scroll in her arms, and sat quietly on the edge of the field to study it carefully.

At the very beginning of JianShu, there are three ancient Chinese characters: “如是观”.
