The Primordial Law

Chapter 321 The man surnamed Li

The swamp, perpetually dark and shrouded in dampness, evokes a sense of desolation and oppression.

Keep going deeper and deeper.

The decaying mud and aquatic plants gradually disappeared, turning into a turbid marshland.

The governor's jade boat sailed on a marshland that was only three feet deep.

Li Weiyi sat at the bow of the boat, his hand wound completely healed, and the severely depleted magical energy within his body had also recovered. After all, he was only at the first level of the Dao Seed Realm, and continuously unleashing powerful attacks at the Great Technique level had greatly depleted his magical energy, making it impossible for him to fight for long unless he used liquid magical power.

Among the various paths of non-dragon cultivation, martial arts cultivation is at the first level, often requiring several years of arduous training to accumulate, comprehend, and experience.

He took out the black, thousand-year-old essence medicine from his bag.

According to Tuoba Butuo, it lives deep underground and moves extremely fast, so he almost couldn't catch it.

"It should be a thousand-year-old earth spirit child."

Li Weiyi already possessed a fairly detailed understanding of all kinds of precious medicines and rare herbs in the world.

To walk the path of a Buddhist master, one must have extensive knowledge and a strong memory.

Earth Spirits grow underground, absorbing yin energy to survive. After a thousand years, they take human form and develop sentience.

Tianlingzai grows in the clouds and is born by absorbing yang energy.

In addition, there are Water Spirit Boy, Fire Spirit Boy, Wind Spirit Boy...

If it can grow for ten thousand years and transform into an imperial medicine, it can shed its plant form and grow a flesh and blood body. Although its combat power cannot compare with the Martial Emperor, it is enough to rival the transcendent and master the power to protect itself.

Erfeng crept over and crept along Li Weiyi's arm toward Dilingzai.

"You want to eat alone?" Li Weiyi asked.

Erfeng nodded vigorously.

Li Weiyi said, "Da Feng already harbors ulterior motives, so you should encourage him. Take this and grow to the third stage of the Dao Seed Realm as soon as possible, so that you can shoulder great responsibilities."

Ever since she followed Tang Wanzhou, Da Feng has often mentioned her to Li Weiyi, telling Li Weiyi not to be afraid of danger and to use the teleportation array to find her, or to teleport her there alone.

Her body is still with Li Weiyi, but she has clearly cheated on him emotionally.

Erfeng gave a loyal look that said, "Don't worry, I'm here," before taking the Thousand-Year Earth Spirit Child away and eating alone.

Qi Xiao sat at the stern of the boat, studying Sikong Ce's circular shield.

This shield is an extraordinary treasure. The vengeful spirit of the Scaled Lion Beast sealed inside is comparable in combat power to a master at the fourth level of the Dao Seed Realm, making it exceptionally valuable.

However, it is only at the fourth level of the Dao Seed Realm, far less precious than the Ghost Flag.

In this respect, magical implements are clearly inferior to Taoist techniques.

As martial arts practitioners advance in their cultivation level, they must upgrade to higher-grade magical artifacts and adapt to them. The loss of magical artifacts by Sikong Qin, Sikong Ce, and Sikong Jingyuan was a devastating blow, significantly reducing their combat strength.

Li Weiyi summoned the golden ancient mirror from the ancestral field, studied it for a while, and handed it to Tuoba Butuo, instructing him: "Never use this device at the main altar, or you will be killed."

Tuoba Butuo accepted it without any pretense: "I understand, after all, it's related to the Palace Master of the Kuru Palace. Brother Weiyi, on the other side of this Black Swamp of the Underworld Flower, there's the entrance to the underground immortal abode that led us in. Countless experts in the world are exploring and searching there. It's been almost a year. Do you think anyone would break into the underground immortal abode to find our remains because of us?"

After being missing for a year and cut off from the outside world, anyone would think they were in grave danger.

Li Wei could sense Tuoba Butuo's sadness and longing, while Qi Xiao at the stern of the ship was also deep in thought.

The first image that popped into Li Weiyi's mind was Jiang Ning's captivating figure. But soon, a self-deprecating smile appeared on his face. Putting aside the fact that the two had only briefly crossed paths, his marriage to Zuoqiu Hongting alone was enough to make any faint goodwill vanish.

Later, Zu Tian's dismissal, suicide, and other dramatic events were enough to make any woman despise and be disappointed in him.

Moreover, she was a wealthy heiress.

The ten of them went to the Du'e Temple, and it's been almost two years. They might have already returned by now.

Compared to Jiang Ning, Li Weiyi felt that Zuoqiu Hongting and Yao Yin were more likely to come to the underground immortal abode to find him. After all, the former was nominally engaged and had a brotherly bond with Jiang Ning. The latter was more sentimental.

Suppressing the various distracting thoughts in his mind, Li Weiyi said, "The moment we joined the Twin Rice Cult, our fate took a different turn. Breaking free from these shackles and returning to the way things were before is by no means easy. With our current cultivation level, all we can do is hold fast to our principles and take it one step at a time. Only by surviving can we possibly break free from these constraints."

Qi Xiao nodded in deep agreement: "The Twin Rice Sect has at least three transcendent beings, two Rice Ancestors, and that reincarnated spirit from Coffin Mountain. The Hall Masters and Deputy Hall Masters of the Four Halls, the Five Venerables, the leader of the God-Slaying Servant... are all giants of the Longevity Realm, whose strength surpasses that of countless other sects. If we betray them, we will surely die, and it may even endanger our families and friends."

“This is only a small part of what we know,” Li Weiyi said.

The main altar has seven floors, but they have only been to two of them.

In the distance, the roar of rushing water gradually became clearer.

Tuoba Butuo stood up and looked over: "We've arrived!"

Li Weiyi and Qi Xiao were so shocked by the sight before them that they held their breath.

Above the Black Swamp of the Underworld Flowers, thousands of meters high, shrouded in miasma and black mist, forming a false sky.

Upon arriving here, a terrifyingly large hole appeared in the sky, as if it had been punched through in ancient times, with a diameter of tens of miles. Above, where did it lead?

A waterfall of blood cascades down from the "sky" thousands of meters high.

The Bloodfall has a large volume of water and a thunderous sound, but hanging on the edge of the big hole, it looks like a bloodline when viewed from a distance.

The swamp here transforms into a blood-red ocean, stretching as far as the eye can see.

Qi Xiao said, "No wonder they say that once you go three hundred miles in, you can't go any further. When I got here, I felt uneasy, as if I had entered hell, and my mood was inexplicably irritable."

Tuoba Butuo said, "It's not hell, but it's pretty much it! A great battle once took place here, and beneath the blood-soaked mud lies an endless sea of ​​bones. The thousand-year-old elixir and the spear were retrieved from beneath this sea of ​​corpses. So, my two gentlemen, would you dare to come down with me and explore further?"

Li Weiyi said, "Other places have been explored by the Dao Sect disciples for many years, so the chances of finding anything good are slim. This place, on the contrary, is a treasure trove." "That's exactly right! The armor and weapons on some of the corpses below haven't completely decomposed and can fetch a considerable price. As long as you have money, why worry about not being able to buy cultivation resources?" Tuoba Butuo said.

"Sikong Jingyuan could arrive at any time. We must leave someone behind, otherwise we might be ambushed. I'll stay!"

Li Weiyi released the five Phoenix-winged Moth Queens, excluding the Great Phoenix, so that they could also explore the underwater world in search of the millennium-old elixir.

These five fellows summoned a large number of ferocious insects as soldiers and generals. They not only searched for the millennium-old elixir, but also, together with Tuoba Butuo and Qi Xiao, salvaged the skeletons of armored corpses and decaying war weapons. They worked with great enthusiasm.

Tens of thousands of years have passed, and most of the original ritual implements have decayed into scrap metal.

"This armor is alright. It's made of extremely dense metal and can be melted down and reforged. It can sell for several thousand Yongquan coins."

"It's a pity that this alchemy furnace is worthless. It should have been a thousand-character artifact back then, used for alchemy and as a weapon. The scriptures inside have dissipated and the furnace has been pierced. A small portion of the material used in the furnace has not been rusted and is worth tens of thousands of Yongquan coins."

Li Weiyi sat on the boat, examining each item one by one, and putting some of the items with remaining value into his bag.

He instructed the six little ones to find items similar in material to the spear, as well as the Spirit Platform Flame Star Stone.

So many masters of the Bhagavan sect died here; how could they not have carried Spirit Platform Flame Star Stones? There must have been some gains.

"call!"

A gust of cold wind blew by, bringing a chill to the air.

Li Weiyi quickly raised his head, looked at the vast, crimson sea of ​​water, and then looked behind him, feeling slightly nervous and worried that the commotion here was too great and might attract something terrifying.

This place doesn't seem like a good place.

……

Yang Qingxi stood in a cave that resembled a karst cave. The cave was extremely vast, reaching tens of meters in height, with bronze beams, steps, stone pillars, stone beasts... some of which were naturally formed, while others were man-made.

This is the treasure trove that Wang Shu discovered.

The treasure vault is divided into an outer layer and an inner layer.

Climb the steps on the distant cliff face to enter the inner layer.

However, there is a formation left over from the ancient Bhagavan period on the steps, and the power of the formation only weakens at the end of each month.

Yang Qingxi felt that this place must be the cave of some important figure of the ancient Bhagavan religion, and there must be treasures inside. However, she tried many times but could not get past the stone steps.

A fragrant breeze wafted from behind.

Yang Qingchan, dressed in a green robe, floated down to a stone pillar several feet away.

The spirit within her was extremely fond of beauty. As her physical body strengthened and her power increased, she began to pay attention to her appearance, drawing her eyebrows and lips, applying powder to her cheeks, making her even more beautiful and exquisite than Yang Qingxi without makeup, radiating an extraordinary glow.

Yang Qingchan said, "Sikong Yanlun has retreated!"

“Oh, he doesn’t seem like someone who gives up easily.” Yang Qingxi said with some surprise.

Fearing the treasure vault would be exposed, Yang Qingxi had been hiding inside the cave for the past few days, while Sikong Yanlun had been searching the surrounding area.

Yang Qingchan said, "He was summoned away by Sikong Jingyuan."

"Sikong Jingyuan has found someone surnamed Li?" Yang Qingxi's heart stirred.

Previously, Yang Qingxi had already encountered Sikong Yanlun and Sikong Jingyuan once, ending in a crushing defeat. Fortunately, Yang Qingchan's physical body was already very strong, capable of unleashing formidable combat power, which allowed them to escape back to the treasure vault.

However, this also exposed the secret of the treasure vault in the nearby area.

Yang Qingxi knew that Li Weiyi had also come to the south because Sikong Yanlun had made the arrogant statement that he would "kill Li Weiyi in front of her and make her willingly submit to him." It was as if the reason she refused to submit was because of a certain man, which really infuriated Yang Qingxi.

Once I break through to the fourth level of the cultivation realm, I'll first smash his foul mouth, then tear him to pieces to avenge the siege I've endured for so long.

Yang Qingchan said, "You might not believe it, but Sikong Jingyuan was actually defeated by that guy surnamed Li you mentioned, which is why he came to find Sikong Yanlun to fight back."

A strange light flashed in Yang Qingxi's eyes: "This is impossible! Li Weiyi's martial arts have reached their limit. Mental power cultivation is a slow process, where would he get so many Star Day Pills?"

It was no secret that Li Weiyi possessed the Starry Night Pill.

Yang Qingchan said, "Sikong Jingyuan sent Sikong Qin back to Kurong Hall to invite the Great True Disciple Chang Yuyan, but I intercepted him halfway and forced him to reveal a lot of information. That guy surnamed Li may have already reached the level of a four-star Spiritual Master in terms of mental power, and he has also successfully planted the Dao in the Wind Mansion."

"Where is he?" Yang Qingxi asked.

Yang Qingchan poured Sikong Qin out of the bag: "He was seriously injured in the battle, by the Yin Ghost Commander, so what he said should be true. That ghost flag is an extraordinary treasure, you should try to seize it, even if it means sacrificing some beauty."

"Beauty? Who do you think Li Weiyi is? You'd better not act rashly with him, or you might make things worse." Yang Qingxi looked at the old man on the ground.

Sikong Qin's limbs were all broken, a truly pitiful sight. Blood flowed from his seven orifices, and his face turned a purplish-black.

"What's up with him?"

"They used some secret techniques on him! Gathering information isn't that easy."

Yang Qingxi asked, "Does he know where Li Weiyi is right now?"

"It seems they didn't leave the Dark Flower Swamp, but instead went deep into the swamp. They're incredibly bold," Yang Qingchan said.

"The Flower of Meditation and the Star Stone of the Spirit Platform are both treasures for a Mind Master's cultivation. He must have been after these two things."

An idea popped into Yang Qingxi's mind, and her eyes lit up: "Why don't we go and join in the fun?"

"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind," Yang Qingchan laughed, her red lips glistening.

Yang Qingxi said, "Whether we become the oriole or not is another matter. What if the guy surnamed Li loses to those two brothers and they get the Ghost Flag, the Demon Armor, and the seven strange insects? What chance will we have to turn things around? Submit to them? I don't even want Yao Qian, let alone them?"
