The Primordial Law

Chapter 330 The storm is coming
During this period, Li Weiyi devoted most of his energy to cultivating the Twelve-Character Dao Seed and refining the Starry Night Pill, and hardly cultivated the Wind Mansion Dragon Seed. Even so, he was not far from the awakening of the Dragon Seed.

He changed the subject and asked, "Master, how long will it take us to attack Lingxiao City?"

Yao Qingxuan said, "The demon race naturally hopes it will be as soon as possible, because the transcendent beings who were injured in the epic battle two years ago are constantly recovering. But the Divine Cult hopes it will be as late as possible!"

Li Wei asked cautiously, "Is it related to the strange phenomenon spreading out of Fuzhou? I heard that those emerging tombstones and graves have spread to several surrounding prefectures, even surrounding Qiuzhou city and Bingzuze. Or is it the legendary Yin Corpse planting rice?"

"The longer the time drags on, the more graves and corpses will grow on the ground. When the pollen of the rice flowers blows across the world, the soldiers of my religion will be as numerous as the sea of ​​people, and then they will devour the world, unstoppable."

Yao Qingxuan's eyes were cold: "Where did you hear that from?"

Li Weiyi was shocked: "Is this true?"

“I don’t know, and I hope you don’t know either,” Yao Qingxuan said.

Li Weiyi said, "Is Master worried that if I spread this secret, it will kill me and you as well?"

Yao Qingxuan said, "When you are not strong enough, you should learn to shut up. When you think you are very smart and can do things quietly, it means you are arrogant and on the verge of death."

"Li Weiyi, let me tell you something you must remember."

"In the face of an irresistible trend, one should judge by intention, not by actions. This does not mean you should do nothing, but rather that one should act according to one's level of cultivation."

"Benevolence, righteousness, loyalty, filial piety, and trustworthiness are judged by their actions, not their intentions. If we judge by their intentions, where in this world can we find such a saint?"

Li Weiyi's heart was filled with turbulent emotions. He clasped his hands together and bowed deeply, saying, "This disciple will remember!"

Yao Qingxuan said, "The attack on Lingxiao City is tentatively scheduled for three months from now... Don't take it too seriously. Only Chaoran knows the real time. The Divine Sect will definitely keep delaying it."

"The eight prefectures controlled by the imperial court—Fuzhou, Hanzhou, Yongzhou, and Liangzhou—were attacked by the Divine Sect. After the success, the Divine Sect would also take control of them and reap all the benefits."

Li Weiyi unfolded the map of Lingxiao Realm on the table: "Fuzhou and Hanzhou belong to the Southern Territory, while Yongzhou and Liangzhou belong to the Eastern Territory. Since Master is the Southern Venerable and wishes to come to Fuzhou and Hanzhou, are you in charge?"

Yao Qingxuan strolled to the table and gently shook his head: "The powerful figures of the Divine Sect, from top to bottom, are two Rice Ancestors, three Suffering Masters, four Palace Masters, and five Venerables."

"Don't take this seriously either! First of all, even I don't know which of these experts are twins and which are one person."

"Secondly, the three deputy hall masters of the Heavenly Palace are all long-lived and have unparalleled cultivation."

"Of the five Venerable Ones of the Heavenly Palace, I am the youngest. The other four are all over 120 years old, and their cultivation levels are unfathomable."

"The main altar is located in the Southern Territory, which is of paramount importance to the Cult. Think about it: why make the youngest human the Venerable of the Southern Territory?"

Li Weiyi pondered for a moment: "Master, this Venerable Nan has the title but no real power?"

Yao Qingxuan said, "It's not that exaggerated, but it's close. The Heavenly Palace has two deputy palace masters, both in the Southern Territory, each with a huge power under their command. They are Xu Fodu of Coffin Mountain and Yang Shenjing of Sui Sect. These two are the real people in charge of major events in the Southern Territory."

Li Weiyi thought to herself, no wonder she spends most of her time at the main altar, it turns out she has two huge mountains weighing on her head.

Yao Qingxuan said, "I became the Southern Venerable because the Divine Sect initially wanted to seize Lizhou first, control the Jiuli tribe, and then form a triangle with Guanzhou and Fuzhou, destroy the Zuoqiu Sect in the middle, and control the entire Southern Territory."

"You know what happened next."

"And now?" Li Weiyi asked.

Yao Qingxuan said, "Xu Fodu and the Buddha Army of Guanshan will take Hanzhou. Yang Shenjing's forces will take Fuzhou."

Li Weiyi said, "The Jiang family of Fuzhou is one of the four great families of the imperial court. They have a transcendent ancestor and are said to have as many experts as ten million other families. I'm afraid Yang Shenjing is no match for them, is he?"

Yao Qingxuan shook his head: "The headquarters of the Divine Sect is located underground in Fuzhou. The Divine Sect's infiltration and control over Fuzhou is something that even the Jiang family cannot compare to. If the Jiang family is pragmatic, they still have a chance to survive. If they are not, the entire clan will perish."

"The demon race and the divine cult have joined forces to attack the imperial court. The major human forces will definitely stand by and watch in the early stages, waiting for us to be weakened. Therefore, the eight provinces are not difficult to conquer; the difficulty lies here."

She pointed to the area marked with emphasis, which was located north of Fuzhou, west of Liangzhou, and south of Youzhou.

The Cloud Heaven Immortal Plain where Lingxiao City is located.

Atop the plateau, amidst the clouds, lies the city of immortals.

Given Li Weiyi's current cultivation level, as well as his status as the eldest disciple and the fourth divine son, Yao Qingxuan did not treat him as a mere soldier, but rather valued him highly and revealed everything to him.

She continued, "The grand formation of heaven and earth in the Cloud Heaven Immortal Plain was personally set up by the Mist Emperor back then. Only four mountain ranges connect the Immortal Plain, and each mountain range has a formidable pass garrisoned with tens of thousands of troops."

"North of Fuzhou, beneath the Xushan Mountain range, lies Nanyan Pass, one of the four passes."

“I originally intended to send you to Lizhou to oversee affairs there. But the situation has changed, and you must deliver something extremely important to me to Nanyan Pass.”

Li Weiyi asked, "What is it? Why me?"

“I will tell you before we set off,” Yao Qingxuan said.

……

An Xianjing returned and, along with Yao Qingxuan, declined all invitations, staying by the rice paddies. Two days later, nourished by their blood and by Li Weiyi's magical energy and spiritual light, four babies were born—two boys and two girls, all possessing pure immortal bodies.

At the moment of breaking through the valley, the entire main altar was bathed in dazzling golden light, and clouds enveloped the Nanqing Palace.

Many powerful elders whom Li Wei had never seen before appeared together, all of whom attached great importance to this matter, making Nanqing Palace more lively than ever before.

Li Weiyi was under immense pressure and was terrified that Tang Wanzhou in the ancestral field would suddenly awaken. Fortunately, as An Xianjing brought the four golden rice babies back to the Linggu Palace, the Nanqing Palace quickly became deserted.

Li Weiyi felt empty inside. She had only seen the four babies when they were born. They were all very well-behaved and cute. Two of them had wings and looked like elves.

Yao Qingxuan stepped into the array's veil of light and looked at Li Weiyi, who was sitting on the edge of the field in a daze: "What's wrong?"

“It’s a little hard to get used to, not used to how they grew up here. When they grow up, they may never know that there was someone who nurtured, cared for, and accompanied them for so long,” Li Weiyi said with some emotion.

Yao Qingxuan used his magical energy to move an iron box sealed with runes from the boundary bag.

"Is this what I'm going to deliver?" Li Weiyi stood up and carefully examined the tin box.

It is square and upright, one foot in length and width.

The runes placed on it were extremely complex and profound; even with Li Weiyi's current mental power, he couldn't understand them.

Yao Qingxuan said, "This matter is of great importance and must not be lost."

Li Weiyi asked the same question she had asked two days ago.

She said, “What it is is not important to you. The reason you are going is because this matter must be handled by someone of a high enough standing in the religion to demonstrate our sincerity.”

"Don't think this is simple; it may actually be fraught with danger."

Li Weiyi asked, "Who is the other party?"

“Zhou Bida is one of the three deputy commanders of Nanyan Pass. He is the extraordinary disciple of the Jiang family and also the son-in-law of the Jiang family,” Yao Qingxuan said.

Li Weiyi said, "But are they our people now?"

"It can only be considered half at the moment."

Yao Qingxuan continued, "His family members have all been taken into custody by the cult; this is coercion. The contents of the box are an offer, and also his condition."

Li Weiyi asked, "Master, are you referring to the danger because you're worried that Zhou Bi will change his mind?"

Yao Qingxuan shook his head: "No, Zhou Bida loves his wife and daughters very much and will not risk becoming an enemy of the Divine Sect. The danger comes from three aspects."

"Firstly, the item in the box is extremely rare and could potentially help Zhou Bida break through to immortality in one fell swoop. Many people know that it has been taken out. I am worried that people from various human powers may be lurking within the sect and have sent the news out in advance, so they can intercept and kill you on the way."

"Secondly, your departure from the main altar will itself arouse the covetousness of some people in the sect."

Li Weiyi said, "If that's the case, why doesn't Master make this trip himself?"

"This is your third major danger!"

Yao Qingxuan said, "With your current cultivation level, you are almost ready to enter the 'Jiazi Book'! The 'Jiazi Book' is located in the Luantai. All experts under the age of sixty who meet the standards will have their approximate location automatically locked by the 'Jiazi Book'."

"When a new master of the Jiazi Register is born, the people of the Luantai and Shicong Hall will come to you immediately to record your information. The court must ensure that all masters in the world are under their control."

Li Weiyi said, "There should be a way to avoid it, right? Otherwise, how could the experts from all the major sects and hidden factions have avoided it?"

Yao Qingxuan glanced at him indifferently: "Only by hiding inside the Hidden Gate can you avoid detection. Once you step outside and engage in combat, your aura will be leaked and you will still be locked onto by the 'Jiazi Scroll.' When Lingxiao Palace reigns supreme, how many powerful figures can the major forces of the world hide?"

"Besides the 'Jiazi Book,' there is also the 'Chart of Human Overlords' compiled by the Du'e Temple for the Zuoqiu Sect, the 'Yu Jia List' of the demon race, and the 'Chart of All Living Beings Under Heaven' of the Divine Sect."

Li Weiyi asked, "Was Master recorded in the 'Jiazi Book'?"

Yao Qingxuan revealed an arrogant expression: "I have long been on the blacklist of the Jiazi Book. In the past ten years or so, Luantai has sent many experts to investigate me. As long as I show up, they will chase after me and try to find out my identity. Unfortunately, they have never succeeded."

Li Weiyi said, "With my current strength, I may not be able to enter the 'Jiazi Book'. Even if I do, I will definitely be at the end and won't attract too much attention. Moreover, as long as I don't fight with anyone and don't reveal my aura, the 'Jiazi Book' will not fluctuate."

"Be extra careful at the foot of Lingxiao City. Go to Nanyan Pass and find Elder Fu; he's in charge of everything there," Yao Qingxuan said.

Li Weiyi's lips moved; she had many questions she wanted to ask, but she didn't know whether she should.

Because Yao Qingxuan explained everything so clearly, and deliberately sent him out, it was as if he wanted to use him to tell these secrets to someone.

But she also clearly said that when one's cultivation level is not strong enough, one should learn to keep quiet.

For a moment, Li Weiyi was truly unsure which side Yao Qingxuan was on. Was he really an elder of the Hidden Sect? Or was he really just being sent to deliver something?
Or perhaps, she simply doesn't dare to say it outright?
