The Primordial Law

Chapter 326 The Tremendous Changes in the Underground Immortal Abode

Li Weiyi turned and walked towards the stone steps. He used the Staff of All Things to tear a hole in the array's light screen, bringing in Yang Qingxi, Yang Qingchan, Qi Xiao, and Tuoba Butuo.

"Why did it take so long to open the formation? Did you take all the good stuff first?" Yang Qingxi stared at him suspiciously.

Li Weiyi sighed, "I have to check for any danger first. What if there are killing formations or talismans? If we all rush in together, won't we all perish here?"

"My God, this much divine soil must weigh dozens of pounds!"

“I think it’s more than that, maybe even a hundred pounds.”

Qi Xiao and Tuoba Butuo exclaimed in surprise.

Yang Qingxi and Yang Qingchan rushed over immediately, and were instantly stunned by the vast expanse of celestial land, the size of an abbot's quarters, having never seen such immense wealth before.

One tael of immortal soil is worth ten thousand Yongquan coins.

If it weighed a hundred jin, it would be worth tens of millions of Yongquan coins.

More importantly, Immortal Soil is in high demand and easy to sell. High-grade pills, artifacts, and talismans all require the addition of Immortal Soil. Even the refining of Longevity Pills and the cultivation of the Longevity Body cannot be separated from it.

Li Weiyi walked behind the two Yangs, smelling their fragrance, and said softly, "If I, Li Weiyi, were a greedy person, you wouldn't even see a grain of immortal soil. The greatest pain in this world is being misunderstood and wronged."

Not to mention Yang Qingxi and Yang Qingchan, even Qi Xiao and Tuoba Tuoba believed it, secretly regretting that Li Weiyi placed too much importance on character. With so much immortal soil, it would be understandable to either secretly hoard it or directly kill people to silence them, let alone secretly keep it for themselves.

Yang Qingchan was moved and looked at Yang Qingxi: "I believe you now! He is indeed a trustworthy person. Although he is a bit domineering at times, that's what makes him charming. Even I'm starting to fall for him."

For Yang Qingchan, this fertile land was like a timely rain.

This is enough to allow her to quickly increase her physical strength, thereby unleashing her full power.

"A total of 96 jin, 48 jin per person."

"Old Qi, Tuoba, each of you take four catties from my share and use them to cultivate your physical bodies. After you've refined and absorbed them, come back to me for more."

Li Weiyi quickly allocated the sacred soil.

Qi Xiao and Tuoba Butuo were overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly, showing genuine respect for Li Weiyi.

Even Yang Qingxi glanced at him repeatedly, as if she were getting to know Li Weiyi all over again. Eight catties of immortal soil was worth eight hundred thousand Yongquan coins.

Li Weiyi lightly rebuked her: "What are you looking at? Do you think everyone is as selfish and self-serving as you, Miss Yang?"

"When have I ever been selfish?" Yang Qingxi retorted, glaring at him with wide, round eyes.

Li Weiyi said, "Did you share any of the spoils from the outer treasure vault with me? Before, when I asked you to help me, you were so hesitant and indecisive, weren't you just trying to maximize your own gain? Ah... forty-eight catties of immortal soil, worth four million eight hundred thousand Yongquan coins..."

Yang Qingxi knew what he wanted to do, so she immediately put the immortal soil into the ancestral field. With a smile, she said softly, "I will definitely repay the five million Yongquan coins, but this immortal soil is of great use to me. Please give me some more time, Your Highness. If you ever need my help in the future, just give the order, and I will cooperate fully without hesitation."

Li Weiyi felt a strange sensation. Yang Qingxi always liked to put on airs, acting like a proud and aloof leader of the younger generation. This was the first time she had ever humbled herself in front of him and called herself Qingxi.

Like a wild horse that becomes docile in his presence, willing to let him ride on its back. Even if this docility is feigned, it still has a unique charm.

Li Weiyi knew very well that this was because he had broken through to the fourth-star Spiritual Master realm, truly surpassing her in cultivation.

"Boom!"

A deafening crash and shattering sound rang out, several times louder than thunder.

The entire cave shook violently, the ground trembled, and many cracks appeared in the stone walls. Gravel continued to roll down, and debris was smashed all over the ground.

Even though the cave was full of experts, they were so frightened that their faces changed drastically, and they hurriedly fled outside.

"Could it be because we broke into the inner layer and touched something we shouldn't have?" Tuoba Butuo asked.

Li Weiyi decisively denied this: "The sound came from a very far place, accompanied by a powerful energy. An extremely terrifying battle broke out in the underground immortal mansion, at least between giants of the Longevity Realm."

Yang Qingxi's expression turned grave: "Ordinary Longevity Realm cultivators couldn't possibly cause such a commotion in the underground immortal abode. Perhaps, a Transcendent Realm cultivator has broken in!"

She knew some inside information and that the proliferation of tombstones and graves on the ground over the past year had drawn serious attention from various forces in the Lingxiao Habitat.

Countless masters from all over the world gathered in Fuzhou.

In particular, Tang Wanzhou's disappearance caused a huge uproar in the Northern Territory. A transcendent being arrived at the entrance to the underground immortal abode and has been trying to break in.

Qi Xiao and Tuoba Butuo's eyes lit up with joy.

Because of Li Weiyi, the two of them would naturally not betray the Rice Cult. However, they were well aware that the Rice People could never truly accept humans and would always regard them as outsiders.

If Xuejian, Tang Ting, and Zuoqiu Menting's extraordinary forces break in and destroy the Daojiao headquarters, they can rescue everyone imprisoned in the Divine Prison, and they and Li Weiyi will have a chance to regain their freedom.

After all, Li Weiyi's joining the Rice Cult was also due to the circumstances.

They opened the stone door and escaped the cave.

Outside lay an endless stone forest, and the group fled towards the main altar.

"boom!"

"Boom!"

...The loud noises continued, and the whole world was shaking. It was impossible to tell which direction the fighting was taking place.

The stone pillars in the stone forest are constantly crumbling, the earth is collapsing, boulders are rolling down, and passageways are breaking.

Li Weiyi turned around and looked in the direction of the huge hole connecting to the Black Swamp of the Underworld Flower below, sensing the aura of Zen Sea Mist.

He had a subtle spiritual connection with Zen Sea Mist, but after a full year in the underground immortal abode, this was the first time he had sensed her.

"You go first!"

Li Weiyi offered no explanation, instead using the Qingxu Chachan Step to transform into a wisp of green smoke, weaving through the falling rocks and rushing towards the massive hole that stretched for tens of miles.

"Could it be that she and her three masters caused this big commotion? They were indeed very strong when they were alive, but their strength shouldn't have recovered much."

Li Weiyi put on the governor's robe and covered it with a robe containing ritual implements, just in case.

Following a river of blood, we arrived near the enormous hole.

A beam of extremely bright energy covered a hole tens of miles in diameter, and the power fluctuations released from above contained world-destroying power.

After a distance of more than ten miles, Li Weiyi dared not approach any further.

The sound of Buddhist chants filled my ears, and a surge of heat emanated from the Taoist Tai Chi fish on my chest.

This strange situation had occurred a year earlier when he entered the main hall. Some kind of Buddhist or Taoist power had made contact with the Taoist Ancestor Taiji Fish, activating it.

Just as Li Weiyi was about to take out the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish to examine it, several terrifying auras came from behind him and approached him at an incredible speed.

"Swish! Swish..."

Three figures rushed past him in a row, moving as fast as three shooting stars, making it impossible to see what they looked like.

But one thing is certain: they must be the three longevity giants of the Rice Cult.

"Why aren't you leaving yet? Go back to the main camp!"

Yao Qingxuan seemed to appear out of thin air beside Li Weiyi, his skin radiating a burst of magical energy, like celestial jade, his face showing a look of great alarm.

"Bah!"

A Zen-like sound came from above the huge hole.

The next instant, a skeleton dressed in Buddhist robes descended from the sky in bright light. With a wave of its sleeve, it sent the three giants of the Longevity Realm who were trying to intercept it flying backward, their bodies crashing into the depths of the rocks with a thud.

Even the aftershocks caused sand and stones to fly.

A single beam of Buddha's light could pierce through layers of rock for miles. The myriad rays of Buddha's light shone down, startling Yao Qingxuan so much that he had to retreat.

The fighting power of those skeletons far exceeded her expectations.

Yao Qingxuan grabbed Li Weiyi's left wrist, enveloped his entire body with his longevity energy, pressed him tightly against his own body, and fled at top speed.

Golden light shone around them, and the rock strata continued to collapse.

Even the bronze skeleton supporting the rock strata melted instantly when struck by the Buddha's light.

Li Weiyi felt weightless as Yao Qingxuan pulled him forward. At this moment, he had no time to search for the Zen Sea Mist, and he even wanted to stay away from the giants of the Longevity Realm to save his life.

He asked, "What happened? What is that thing? Why are you so afraid of it, Master?"

Yao Qingxuan's eyes narrowed as he stared ahead, various scenes rushing past: "For some unknown reason, a transcendent monk's remains have awakened, and moreover, they have broken through the three heavens of the main altar and reached the Sacred Heart layer. It is still unclear what its purpose is; perhaps it is for those nine pages of the Radiant Star Book."

“A month ago, the hole it had created, connecting the mortal realm to the sacred heart realm, was discovered. For the past month, the entire headquarters has been searching for it, and today it finally launched its attack.”

"No one expected that a mere newly awakened monk's remains would be so powerful. In its lifetime, it must have been a martial arts emperor."

The awakening of the ancient emperor reminded Li Weiyi of the Zen Sea Mist.

I wonder what level she has recovered to now?
However, Zen Sea Mist is not simply trying to restore his combat power; he has much grander ambitions. He wants to reverse life and death and rebuild his flesh and blood body, which is a difficult path for him.

Moreover, the marriage between the two women has never been completed.

Li Weiyi asked, "Is the resurrection of monks' remains common in underground immortal abodes?"

Yao Qingxuan said, "The underground immortal abode is very special. It is related to ancient immortals, and the cultivation method of the ancient Bhagavan Buddhist sect is also very strange. The Sacred Heart layer also contains great secrets. All these mysteries have caused the monks' remains to awaken seven times in the past thousand years. Their states and strengths are all different."

"What they have in common is that in the early stages of awakening, their strength is not very high, and they can be easily suppressed and subdued. Their combat power will gradually increase over time."

"The taboo of Coffin Mountain, Xu Fodu and the master of Palace Master An, is one of them. He is the most powerful of the seven monks' remains that have been awakened. He is suspected to be the resurrection of the ancient emperor's monk remains, but it took him hundreds of years to reach a transcendent level of strength."

"It is precisely because of this taboo on Coffin Mountain that the ancient Jiuli tribe, once numbering in the millions, is filled with apprehension and pays tribute every year in exchange for peace and tranquility in Lizhou. Without transcendence, the Jiuli tribe has no voice and is suppressed by a dead man."

When the Jiuli tribe was mentioned, Yao Qingxuan's tone was laced with sarcasm and a cold laugh, clearly showing her extreme disappointment with the Jiuli tribe over the past thousand years. But a sharp glint flashed in her eyes, indicating that she wanted to shatter all of that.

Li Weiyi stared at her breathtakingly beautiful face and finally asked the question he had always wanted to ask but dared not: "Why did Master fake his death and secretly join the Twin Rice Cult back then?"
