The Primordial Law

Chapter 347 The Outer Manifestation of the Dao Heart by Dari
"The Order of the Hidden Ones: Hidden Ones above the Dao Seed Realm, put down all your possessions and gather in Lingxiao City before the first day of the twelfth lunar month."

Li Weiyi wrote a second letter, stamped it with the mark of the Divine Concealment Token, and had Old Man Zhou deliver it as well.

He had no intention of leaving, even if the city gates were to open in the future.

For my own sake, since I've chosen to start this battle with the Suizong, I must fight it to the end. I'll settle both old and new scores.

Two letters written in blood alone are not enough.

From the perspective of a living, breathing human being, he could not stand idly by and watch as the demon race, the Netherworld of the Dead, and the Twin Rice Cult breached Lingxiao City and subsequently swept across the world. That would not merely be slaughter and war, but the massacre of one race by another.

If the skin is gone, the hair will not be attached.

Even with limited cultivation, one can still do what one can. Even if one cannot change the final outcome, at least one can have a clear conscience.

……

Late at night, Old Zhou returned to the coffin shop, bringing back a reply from Tuoba Butuo.

"Your Highness, rest assured, as long as Tuoba has a breath left, he will bring the blood letter back to the main altar and will not delay important matters. In addition, there was a great upheaval in the city this morning, and Qi Xiao went south. It is too late to catch up."

Li Weiyi threw the reply into the stove in front of him.

A blazing fire immediately erupted in the furnace.

In the firelight, Li Weiyi's face was indistinctly lit.

Qi Xiao's return to Zuoqiu Sect will change many things.

However, as long as the high-ranking members of the Rice Cult believe that the secret of attacking Lingxiao City has been leaked to the imperial court by the Sui Sect, then it is normal and reasonable for the Zuoqiu Sect to learn of the news.

However, in this way, the Rice Cult would probably not delay the attack on Lingxiao City; on the contrary, the sooner the better.

Li Weiyi asked, "Elder Zhou, have you found out the outcome of the battle outside the city this morning involving cultivators at the Longevity Realm?"

Old Zhou shook his head: "It involves giants of the Longevity Realm, and the secrets involved are not something the soldiers below can know. When I came back, I treated some old comrades to drinks, and I heard an important thing from them."

"Something big seems to have happened in the Attendant Hall; it's been surrounded. Deputy Commander Qiu, Grand Historian Zhang, and some important figures from the Jiang family entered before dark and haven't come out yet."

"Some people speculate that the General's Mansion is seeking revenge. If they can find something out from the Attendant Hall, that would be very gratifying."

Li Weiyi nodded slightly.

With all parties involved in the investigation, Yao Qian must be under immense pressure right now.

It's impossible for Jiang Xin to be completely innocent. Once his identity as an "elder" of the cult is confirmed, the only way out for Yao Qian will be to kill him to silence him.

Yao Qian killed the prefectural elder.

Before his death, the elder of the prefecture secretly wrote a letter in blood and sent it out in advance.

This blood-written letter carries immense weight, enough to increase its significance several times over.

This is exactly what Li Weiyi wanted to make happen!
Li Weiyi said, "Next, we'll have to trouble Elder Zhou to investigate the situation at the Attendant Hall. But please don't try to find out on your own!"

"Don't worry, Shenyin, I have comrades-in-arms. Tonight, they will be working on a case in the Attendant Hall with Deputy Commander Qiu, and they will be able to get the most accurate information. There's no need to ask around; they've been friends for decades, and they'll tell you themselves over the dinner table," said Old Man Zhou.

Li Weiyi said, "I'm afraid I'll have to stay here with you for the next few days."

Old Zhou looked embarrassed: "I've always lived alone. My house is a mess, and there are dead bodies everywhere in the yard. I'm afraid the hermits won't be used to it."

“I’m not that particular! There’s a cellar in the backyard, I can hide there.”

Upon entering the cellar, Li Weiyi used a coffin as a makeshift bed. He then took out array flags and set up an array.

Only then did he sit cross-legged, activate the Buddha's relic, and enter the blood mud space.

"Tang Wanzhou, Tang Wanzhou..."

Li Wei knelt down in front of Tang Wanzhou, trying to wake her up. With the help of this young lord of the Northern Border, they could face the enraged Yao Qian with greater ease.

She didn't move an inch.

Li Weiyi really wanted to take action, but ultimately held back, fearing another counterattack.

"It's better to rely on yourself than on others."

Li Weiyi took out two thousand-year-old medicinal herbs from Xu Xiangu's bag and fed them to the seven Phoenix-winged Moth Kings.

They are all currently at the third level of the Dao Seed Realm, and each of them possesses combat power comparable to a powerful cultivator at the fourth level. A cultivator at the fourth level has condensed a Dao Lotus, making them virtually invincible to ordinary inheritors.

The fourth level of the realm was equally difficult for the seven little ones.

But once you cross that threshold, your realm and combat power will increase dramatically, and you will be able to fight against someone at the sixth level of the Inferior Root Dao Seed Realm.

With seven of them working together, even a Dao Seed Realm sixth-level inheritor would probably have to flee.

The seven little ones were frantically devouring the two thousand-year-old medicinal herbs. Li Weiyi took out a small piece of four-colored immortal moss and put it in his mouth. Instantly, a faint four-colored radiance appeared on his whole body, and a fragrant aroma filled the air.

Before reaching the Dao Seed Realm, he had already refined two catties of Immortal Soil.

Consuming the Four-Colored Immortal Moss is much easier than directly refining Immortal Soil. Currently, Li Weiyi has essentially refined four jin of Immortal Soil.

The strength of his internal organs and muscles is sufficient to support him in close combat with martial artists of a higher realm.

This is one of the reasons why he was able to fight against the Silver-Winged Great Sage, who was at the fifth level of the Dao Seed Realm, with his cultivation at the second level of the Dao Seed Realm.

However, physical cultivation also involves blood and qi, bones, and tendons and skin, and Li Weiyi is still far from achieving these three aspects.

Blood Qi cultivation relies on the blood Qi and blood crystals of the Lesser Yang Star.

The cultivation of the Great Perfection Golden Bone was achieved using the Golden Spring obtained in the Burial Immortal Town.

To refine tendons and shape skin, rely on the divine stove and wood.

Resources are not lacking for the time being, but without the rare Four-Colored Immortal Moss, the speed of body refinement will naturally be much slower.

“Other martial arts practitioners focus on cultivating their realm, with breaking through to immortality as their primary goal. Therefore, their realm often precedes their physical body. This is especially true for the young prodigies of the Dragon Clan, whose realms advance too quickly, making their physical bodies their constant weakness.”

"I am strong in terms of physical strength, which has always been ahead of my cultivation level. My cultivation level has become my weakness. From now on, I must put enlightenment first."

"The Cocoon of Time has given me five times the cultivation time. I only need to consume the Four-Colored Immortal Moss and Golden Spring as usual, and my physical body can be rapidly improved."

"First, use the four-colored immortal moss to shape the internal organs and muscles, reaching a level comparable to refining ten catties of immortal soil, and a tremendous transformation will surely occur."

Li Weiyi withdrew from the Blood Mud Space and simultaneously activated his two fish eyes to enter the ocean of scriptures of the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish, continuing to cultivate the Divine Dao Seed.

There are already seventy scriptures in the Shenque Daozhong.

After spending three days comprehending another scripture, bringing the total to seventy-one. Just as the seventy-first scripture was imprinted onto the Dao Seed, the surrounding magical energy rippled slightly. Even the liquid magical power below showed signs of disturbance.

This is a sign that excitement is about to begin!
Li Weiyi was overjoyed and pressed on with her efforts.

Sometimes one can gain insight through observation.

Sometimes, they practice the Twelve Scattered Techniques of the Chan Sect, causing the twelve divine images of battle techniques to appear at the edge of the ocean of scriptures, to fight against them, and to gain insights in the battle.

Another two days passed.

"Wow!"

The seventy-second scripture appeared in the Shenque Dao Seed.

As it rotates, the Tai Chi pattern and swastika light and shadow appear, the energy vibrates, and the ripples expand.

The real fluttering began.

Li Weiyi immediately left the Ocean of Scriptures and took a boat to Tanggu Sea.

The tremor of the Divine Palace Dao Seed was even more intense than that of the Wind Mansion Dragon Seed. With each tremor, the magical energy throughout the body was refined.

The veins, the wiry veins, and the physical body all pulsated with the Dao seed, transmitting a feeling of pain that was further intensified.

With each advancement in the Dao Seed Realm, the physical body will also become stronger.

Cultivating the physical body is a crucial time that cannot be missed. Li Weiyi immediately took out all the Golden Spring, Four-Colored Immortal Moss, Top-Grade Blood Crystal, and Divine Stove Wood, consuming what needed to be consumed and refining what needed to be refined.

Within the Divine Palace, the seventy-two scriptures on the Dao Seed flickered and floated, with celestial radiance flowing. Twelve divine figures appeared, like towering divine mountains in twelve directions.

"Boom!"

On the sea of ​​Tanggu, the outward manifestation of the Daoist mind erupted from Li Weiyi's body.

The celestial radiance that swept through the divine palace transformed into a sky full of clear light, spreading across the sea and covering an area of ​​about one mile.

The second level of the Dao Seed Realm is the external manifestation of Dali.

Only those who have inherited this skill at the fourth level of the Dao Seed Realm can do so.

Normal martial arts cultivation requires the fifth level of the Dao Seed Realm.

The twelve divine figures, each tens of meters tall, stood proudly at the twelve positions on the jade boat.

Their bodies shone with dazzling divine light, their forms were solid, and their hair and beards shimmered with light. With a thought from Li Wei, the Twelve Scattered Hands of the Chan Sect were unleashed simultaneously by them.

There were divine figures wielding swords, divine figures darting and soaring, divine figures waving their palms...

All twelve moves were unleashed at once, and even a movement technique like the Qingxu Chachan Step was incredibly powerful, capable of charging and crashing through opponents.

"If this move is used, wouldn't it be equivalent to twelve of me attacking at the same time?"

Li Weiyi's heart was pounding as he pondered what level of enemy he could severely injure with this move. Suddenly, due to the severe depletion of his magical energy, a feeling of weakness washed over him, his vision blurred, and he nearly collapsed backward.

"Using the external manifestation of the Dao mind in battle is already quite a drain on one's magical energy."

"If I were to control the twelve divine shadows to attack together, although the battle might be astonishing, the consumption of such power would be far beyond what my current cultivation level can withstand."

"The Divine Seed of Dao needs to be hidden, and so should the outward manifestation of the Dao Heart. He's only at the second level of the Dao Seed Realm, yet his outward manifestation of the Dao Heart has already reached a certain level. If people knew this, would he really be allowed to repeat the scene of being crippled again? Who would believe that?"

Li Weiyi quickly withdrew his Dao Heart's external manifestation, and all the clear light dissipated and vanished.

He sat cross-legged at the bow of the boat, practicing breathing exercises to restore the severely depleted spiritual energy within his body.

Inner contemplation of the Shenque point.

"Twelve characters plant the Tao, seventy-two characters stir the heart."

"How many scriptures would one need to comprehend to reach the third level of the Dao Seed Realm, Dao Life?"

Li Weiyi silently calculated.

As his understanding of Taoist texts and Buddhist scriptures deepened, his comprehension speed increased significantly. He could now comprehend a scripture of his own in just two or three days.

On the path of the Tao, we persevere step by step.

It's still too slow. Even if it takes a year, you can only comprehend a little over a hundred scriptures, and you might not even be able to attain enlightenment.

We must find a way to discover the true scriptures of Taoism and Buddhism.

Taking advantage of this breakthrough in his cultivation level, his physical body improved significantly. In particular, he absorbed the four-colored immortal moss extremely quickly, comparable to refining half a pound of immortal soil.

Li Weiyi could see that his internal organs were filled with ethereal mist, and his muscle strength had greatly increased.

"At each realm, I can essentially break through twice, which is extremely beneficial for improving my physical body. I will definitely be able to cultivate the Longevity Body at the Dao Seed Realm; it just depends on at which realm I achieve it."

"Goo!"

"Gulu!"

……

Bubbles and white mist rose from the sea.

A crimson-gold radiance appeared on the seabed, signaling that the golden crow was about to take flight.

Li Weiyi showed no intention of leaving by boat. He stood up and looked at the Fusang Divine Tree at the end of the sea, his mind at peace.

This time, he is prepared to stand up to Jinwu Guanghua head-on.

Relax your whole body and close your eyes to meditate.

"Wow!"

The light and shadow of the Fusang Divine Tree appeared, enveloping his body. Instantly, his skin was illuminated as if he were a pure immortal, radiating divine light, like a god sailing on the sea.

"Wow!"

Thousands of miles away, the golden crow spreads its wings and emerges from the sea, its wings resembling two golden clouds, stirring up towering waves.

Not only was the sea boiling, but the air was boiling too.

The first wave of light and heat quickly struck the light and shadow of the Fusang Divine Tree. The light and shadow flickered and became blurred.

The jade boat below was thrown into the distance by the impact.
