The Primordial Law

Chapter 324 Master Jar

Li Weiyi and the five Phoenix-Winged Moth Queens broke Sikong Yanlun's Ghost Fire Palm Print. Seeing that Yang Qingxi was still standing by and watching, it seemed that she really had the idea of ​​joining forces with them.

So, he put the five little ones and the Earth Spirit into the insect bag, preparing to burrow into the swamp and escape using the spatial power of the governor's robe.

“Hey Li, this time you made a move worth five million Yongquan coins. Don’t ask me for money again.”

Yang Qingxi stepped onto the river of magical energy, lifted off the water, and flew straight towards the jade boat, wielding two swords.

She realized that the jade boat was the key to escape, but unfortunately it was tightly restrained by Sikong Jingyuan.

Yang Qingchan, riding on six Bodhi seeds and more than eight hundred scriptures, headed towards the battlefield of Li Weiyi, Sikong Yanlun, and Yizhouxue, breaking open a crack in the Dao heart of the two powerful figures.

Unable to fathom the true thoughts of the two Yangs, Li Weiyi dared not let Yang Qingchan get close and decisively disappeared into the water.

As for the two people and two phoenixes on the jade boat, there was no time to worry about them. They could only hope that Qi Xiao would be decisive and use the jade boat's flight power to escape.

Yi Zhouxue and Sikong Yanlun rushed into the water, chasing after Li Weiyi's aura sensed by the external manifestation of their Dao Heart, their magical energy entangling him. Even if he knew water escape or earth escape techniques, they would pull him back.

"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"

Three figures emerged from the water simultaneously, their faces filled with terror, and fled at top speed.

"Boss, run! The things down there... have all come back to life!" Sikong Yanlun shouted in horror, reminding Sikong Jingyuan.

Li Weiyi was also frightened by the situation below and fled back to the surface of the water. He didn't even have time to take off his governor's robes before shouting to Qi Xiao, "Steer the jade boat and escape immediately!"

It was terrifying, like a ghost town had descended.

On the jade boat, Yang Qingxi had just taken the ghost flag and looked back.

I saw.

Behind Yi Zhouxue, Sikong Yanlun, Li Weiyi, and Yang Qingchan, the water surface ignited, filled with will-o'-the-wisps.

The phantom images of Buddhas appeared in the will-o'-the-wisps.

Some held prayer beads, some held wooden fish drums, some held Zen staffs... all chanting scriptures, the sound of Zen chanting never ceasing.

The corpses at the bottom of the water rose one after another, lifted to the surface by the will-o'-the-wisps. They were so decayed that only bones remained, with only some still wearing tattered armor or monk's robes.

On the water, the number of ancient spirits is increasing.

"Shh!"

The jade boat sped over and picked up Li Weiyi and Yang Qingchan. Then, it flew into the air and burst into unparalleled speed, heading straight for the huge hole thousands of meters above.

"Miss Yang, where are you taking us?" Qi Xiao asked.

Yang Qingxi stood at the bow of the boat, continuously releasing his magical energy into the jade boat: "In the current situation, the safest option is to go uphill."

"According to the location calculation, above the Dark Flower Black Swamp is the Truth Zen Forest." Li Weiyi meditated to heal his injuries, then released the five Phoenix Winged Moth Queens from the insect bag and secretly transmitted his voice to them, wary of Yang Qingxi and Yang Qingchan.

There was no other way. Even if Yang Qingxi and Yang Qingchan really wanted to help, he and Tuoba Butuo were both seriously injured at the moment. If they had no way to protect themselves, it was hard to guarantee that they wouldn't turn around and kill them.

Yang Qingxi raised her head and looked up at the huge hole that resembled a collapsed sky. She muttered to herself, "The upper level is indeed the Truth Zen Forest. But this giant hole seems to lead to something even higher. Could it be connected to the Sacred Heart Level?"

Soon, the jade boat disappeared into the dark cave.

……

The swamp below.

A blood-soaked figure, riding in a coffin, floated out from behind countless departed souls.

It gazed at the glimmer of jade light that had disappeared into the enormous hole and muttered to itself, "Good lad, it's only been a little over a year, and his combat strength has already reached such a level."

The Blood Mud Man was none other than the Jar Master.

Zen Sea Mist, Coffin Master, and Spirit Tablet Master all went through the giant hole to the Sacred Heart layer, while Jar Master stayed behind to receive them.

When Li Weiyi first arrived here, the jar master had already noticed him, but dared not approach him easily.

Firstly, Qi Xiao and Tuoba Butuo were present.

Secondly, it is uncertain whether any giants from the Rice Cultivation Realm are lurking in the shadows.

"Everyone, disperse. Let's not make too much of a commotion. If we attract the attention of a Longevity Realm expert, I can't withstand it in my current state."

Master Guan waved his hand gently, and one by one, the departed souls sank back to the bottom of the water, no longer pursuing Yizhu Xue and the other two.

……

In a secret treasure trove like a cave.

Li Weiyi spent three hours bringing his injuries under control. He then stood up and looked around the cave. Qi Xiao, Tuoba Butuo, and Yang Qingchan were all there, but Yang Qingxi was nowhere to be seen.

The cave was very large, and footsteps echoed.

Li Wei walked several hundred meters before finally spotting Yang Qingxi studying the ghost flag near the stone gate and entrance formation.

He walked over and asked in a gentle tone, "Have you figured it out?" Yang Qingxi looked up and glanced at him. "Don't think I want to take it for myself! It's not safe here. Sikong Jingyuan and Sikong Yanlun could come at any time. I need to master stronger power to deal with them."

Li Weiyi stared into her eyes: "Previously, did Miss Yang intend to help, or did she have ulterior motives?"

"You actually doubt me? If I had ulterior motives, do you think I would give you a chance to heal?" Yang Qingxi said.

Li Weiyi nodded: "That makes sense! But there's one thing that doesn't make sense. Back in the Dark Flower Swamp, I was clearly at a huge disadvantage. Even if we joined forces, we wouldn't have a chance of winning. Yet Miss Yang chose to help me instead of killing me. That makes no sense."

Yang Qingxi did not answer the question immediately, but pondered for a moment: "Your potential far exceeds theirs, making you a better partner. The combat strength you demonstrated earlier has earned my approval."

Li Weiyi walked up to her, standing only a foot away, and shook his head, saying, "That's far-fetched! The benefits you'd get from killing me would be far greater than what you'd get from cooperating with me."

Yang Qingxi sensed Li Weiyi's aggressive attitude, and her heart began to race. She dared not meet his gaze and turned away, saying, "I don't think that after I kill you, the three of them will share any of the profits with me."

Seeing her like this, Li Weiyi found it amusing and took another half step closer: "But I heard that Sikong Yanlun is deeply in love with you and would never do anything to you."

"Him? He's just being possessive! Can you please not get so close? I have a feeling you're trying to take advantage of me." Yang Qingxi took two steps back as if fleeing.

Li Weiyi never imagined that a strong woman like Yang Qingxi could be so fearful.

"Hey Li, let me tell you, she might have developed feelings for you! When a woman falls in love but refuses to admit it, many things just can't be explained."

Yang Qingchan stood against the stone wall, a smile on her face.

Yang Qingxi's eyes turned cold as she looked at her: "If I were truly someone who would lose my mind when I was moved by emotions, I would have acted long ago, instead of waiting until he was in the most dangerous moment."

"Only by striking when it's most dangerous can you make him remember you more deeply and feel grateful to you." Yang Qingchan revealed a set of snow-white teeth and bright red, moist lips.

Li Weiyi said, "I think Miss Yang's explanation is quite reasonable. It seems I can't call you Qingxi anymore; it's too ambiguous. You'll start to take it seriously after a while! You're too easily convinced!"

Li Weiyi laughed heartily, his earlier aggressive demeanor turning into a nonchalant one, and walked into the cave.

In any case, this time, Li Weiyi's opinion of Yang Qingxi has completely changed, and he can see that she genuinely wants to help him get out of trouble.

It's already quite remarkable that they stood by his side during the most dangerous time.

As for what she was really thinking—whether it was scheming, plotting, Sui Zong's intentions, or even a tiny bit of affection—it doesn't really matter.

Anyway, everyone here is a clear-headed and rational person, and won't be swayed by these emotions.

Yang Qingxi's mood fluctuated wildly because of Li Weiyi. Her ears were burning. She had never experienced such intense emotional turmoil before. She said coldly, "Five million Yongquan coins, wiped clean."

"What kind of pipe dream are you having? You haven't really been of any help before, and you think you can pay off your debts without stepping in?"

Li Weiyi disappeared into the depths of the cave.

Although she looked angry, Yang Qingxi's heart was filled with ripples of emotion. This sense of connection made her feel that there was always a bond between the two of them.

I made up my mind that I absolutely could not return this money to him.

Due to the severity of his internal injuries, it took Li Weiyi four whole days to fully recover.

They dared not easily leave the secret treasure vault because Sikong Jingyuan, Sikong Yanlun, and Yizhou Xue had appeared in the vicinity. In addition, a large number of patrol guards were also present.

“They must have already returned to the main altar and learned that we didn’t go back, so they guessed that we were hiding here.” Yang Qingxi’s eyes were serious, and she regretted not escaping back to the main altar immediately.

Li Weiyi said, "They might have invited some other experts as well."

Qi Xiao said, "These three are truly terrifying in strength. So many undead spirits couldn't hold them back."

Everyone nodded, realizing that the sudden appearance of a large number of undead in the swamp was quite strange.

“They shouldn’t be able to find the entrance to the treasure vault for a while. Besides, the entrance is narrow and easy to defend, making it a good hiding place. We’ll take turns guarding it,” Tuoba Butuo said.

Li Weiyi nodded: "If we can really hide for ten days or half a month, they might retreat, thinking that we went to a higher area along that hole that is tens of miles wide."

"If you've really been hiding for so long without returning to the main altar, it should have alerted the big shots behind us!" Yang Qingxi said.

For the next two weeks, everyone immersed themselves in cultivation and improvement. Under crisis and pressure, the potential of martial arts practitioners was stimulated, constantly developing and enhancing their talents.

"Wow!"

Inside the cave, a powerful burst of spiritual light erupted, spreading across the stone walls and illuminating the entire space with intense heat and brightness.

With sufficient support from the Spirit Platform Star Stones, the two attempts failed.

On the third attempt, Li Weiyi finally condensed the fourth psychic star.

Qi Xiao and Tuoba Butuo were startled and stopped their cultivation. They looked over and couldn't help but feel envious.

Whether in martial arts or mental cultivation, the fourth realm is an extremely difficult hurdle to overcome. And now, Li Weiyi has actually crossed it first.

The center of the cave.

Li Weiyi sat cross-legged in meditation, with the shadow of the Fusang Divine Tree, which had grown even longer, behind him.

The divine tree's light and shadow, like two giant umbrellas, sprinkled golden crow fire rain from its branches, enveloping his body, while his mental energy intertwined like a spider web throughout the space.
