The Primordial Law

Chapter 355 Altar, Curse

The wind was calm, the waves were still, and the sea was peaceful.

Golden Xihe flowers float eternally on the water's surface, constantly absorbing the radiance of the Fusang Divine Tree and the Golden Crow, and containing abundant fiery essence within.

The small flowers, only the size of a fist, float with a faint light. They have only grown for one or two years and have absorbed less of the essence of the flames.

The large flowers, more than ten meters in diameter, are as radiant as the sun shining on the water. Their heat can boil the surrounding waters, creating a sea of ​​mist. They have been growing for thousands of years.

Even with the physique of the seven phoenix-winged moth queens, they currently only dare to eat Xihe flowers the size of a washbasin.

……

Tang Wanzhou walked through the golden sea of ​​flowers, his eyes sparkling with curiosity about everything.

Sometimes it touches the petals with its fingers, and sometimes it flies into the huge Xihe Flower to meditate.

Her gaze gradually softened, and she exclaimed, "Li Weiyi, you're guarding an unimaginable treasure trove; no wonder your cultivation speed is astonishing. How did we get here? A spatial teleportation array?"

Seeing that she was in a stable mood, Li Weiyi said, "If you want to return to Lingxiao Realm, we can go back anytime. Shaojun hasn't answered my previous question yet."

Tang Wanzhou shook his head and said, "I'm not going back! That patch of blood mud just now had very mysterious blood energy and spiritual power, which can help me quickly break the second Immortal Lock, the Soul Return Lock."

"And here, I can break free of the immortality lock behind me."

"Others achieving immortality in sixty years is already a great accomplishment. But I want to achieve the greatest immortality in sixty years, and even transcend to the highest level. What did you just ask? Right now, my main focus is on my inner world, on the back and forth of my soul, so my reactions to the outside world will be much slower."

Li Weiyi has some understanding of the martial arts longevity realm.

Only by breaking one of the longevity locks can one gain a lifespan of sixty years.

Why are there so few people who live to be hundreds of years old?

Because most immortal beings, even after spending sixty years, cannot break through an immortality lock.

All the giants of the Longevity Realm are being chased by their own lifespans, racing against time. Only by devoting themselves fully to cultivation can they possibly reach the transcendent Other Shore Realm.

For this reason, giants in the Longevity Realm generally do not manage mundane affairs, thus wasting their limited energy and lifespan. They tend to delegate power as much as possible to the "overlords of the mortal world," the Dao Seed Realm martial artists.

Meanwhile, the old guys at the seventh level and above in the Dao Seed Realm are all fighting desperately to break through to the Longevity Realm.

Therefore, those who ultimately wield power in the secular world, including those from countless powerful families, are all Dao Seed Realm experts under the age of sixty.

Because of their longevity.

The characters “甲首” (Jia Shou) came into being in response to this situation.

The top leader thus became the strongest person representing the major forces and making a public appearance.

Tang Wanzhou actually claimed that he would break through the Transcendental Realm in sixty years. This can no longer be called arrogance; it's an insult to all the older generation of giants in the world.

Li Weiyi said, "Young Master just said that the Fusang Divine Tree is not simple. I asked, in what way is it not simple?"

"Wow!"

Tang Wanzhou flew down onto the jade boat, feeling that the title "Young Lord" sounded somewhat jarring, unlike what he remembered.

She stared intently at Li Weiyi: "Is there really something wrong with my memories and consciousness from the past year or so? I can sense that you are not a treacherous or malicious person. Your previous choice to stay further demonstrates your open-mindedness."

Looking closely at this renowned young lord of the North, Li Wei felt as if he were facing a stunningly beautiful enemy, and about to embark on a unique challenge.

The feeling of being on high alert stemmed from the fact that no one knew if she would suddenly draw her sword again.

The reason for her beautiful opinion is that, in her fabricated memories, the two seem to share some kind of emotion that transcends friendship. In the world, if anyone could capture Tang Wanzhou's heart and embrace this young lord of the Northern Border, it would undoubtedly be an achievement comparable to reaching the level of an emperor in martial arts.

Beautiful yet dangerous, affectionate yet wise.

Li Weiyi smiled upon being praised by such an opponent: "The fact that Young Master can ask such a question shows that he has recovered a lot and can now distinguish between reality and illusion."

Tang Wanzhou said, "It's just that reason can suppress emotions, and clarity can temporarily overcome chaos. In the midst of chaos, I saw a corner of the truth in my sea of ​​consciousness."

"It was an altar, suspended in the starry sky, with two identical old men sitting on it. They seemed to be fighting with someone and had no energy left to pay attention to me."

"I proceeded cautiously, but before I was far away, I was struck by a wisp of light emanating from the altar. My consciousness vanished, and the truth was replaced by chaos."

Li Weiyi was shocked, knowing that this must be the place Tang Wanzhou had gone to through the spatial teleportation array in the Nanqing Palace, where he had stumbled upon a major secret of the Twin Rice Cult.

"Are they the two founders of the Rice Cult?"

Li Weiyi used seawater to condense the image of the Rice Ancestor statue that he had seen.

"I can't remember their faces; everything is blurry," Tang Wanzhou said.

Li Weiyi asked, "How do you know they're fighting a magical duel?"

Tang Wanzhou recalled, "Because in the center of the altar, there was a woman's straw body, wrapped in golden straw, with mysterious blood-written patterns on her palace robe, which looked like some kind of ancient curse or witchcraft. Many people died at the edge of the altar, and the corpses were piled up like mountains. They were all fresh corpses, and the blood was converging into an endless scarlet red."

The more she described it, the more terrifying it became.

If true, Li Weiyi strongly suspects that the two Rice Ancestors are using the altar to curse the Grand Palace Master of Lingxiao City. Because Tang Wanzhou experienced a similar situation simply from being struck by a wisp of light mist.

And Fuzhou itself is right next to Yuntian Immortal Plain. Who knows if the underground immortal abode extends beneath Yuntian Immortal Plain?
Of course, it could also be Tang Wanzhou's delusions after his mind became confused.

After a long silence, the two fell into thought.

Tang Wanzhou suddenly remembered something and said, "The space below the Fusang Divine Tree is active and cannot be reached."

Li Weiyi continued, "You said before that I underestimated everyone in the world, unless... what do you mean by unless?"

Tang Wanzhou said with a very serious expression, "The Golden Crow Flame contained in your spiritual light is indeed very powerful, comparable to the second level of a fully mastered technique, and you can use it at will."

"A five-star spiritual master corresponds to a martial artist at the fifth level of the Dao Seed Realm."

"Let's not talk about those pure immortal bodies and Nine Springs Immortals with average aptitude, but only about those at the level of Inheritors and above."

“Those who can cultivate to the fifth level of the Dao Seed Realm have been cultivating for ten or twenty years at the fastest. At the slowest, it takes twenty or thirty years. In such a long time, as long as their comprehension is at a first-class level, they can almost all cultivate the second level of a great technique to perfection.”

"To master a great technique in two or three years is to be a prodigy. To master it in five or six years is only average. To master it in ten years is merely mediocre."

"The inheritor has mastered the first level of a great technique in the lower three realms, the second level in the middle three realms, and the third level in the upper three realms. This is the normal pace!"

"Moreover, the inheritors will not lack top-notch magical artifacts; they are all talents that major forces are focusing on cultivating."

How much of an advantage do you have over them?

"Therefore, your current mental combat strength should be positioned so that you can first try to defeat the inheritor of the fifth level of the Dao Seed Realm. There are also different levels among the inheritors. You should be able to see this from the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival. They can be divided into at least three levels."

Li Weiyi's expression was a half-smile; he could tell that this young lord had frighteningly high standards. He wouldn't even bother mentioning the Inferior Dao Seed Realm, and considered Pure Immortal Bodies and Nine Springs Supremes as trash; only inheritors were barely worth his attention.

Li Weiyi was naturally unconvinced: "How about we practice?"

Tang Wanzhou turned his head slightly and glanced at him.

Facing a giant from the Longevity Realm, Li Weiyi showed no restraint, wanting to take this opportunity to test the level of his mental power in actual combat.

"Shh!"

Summon the myriad staffs and spears from the Wind Palace.

Li Weiyi's brow turned crimson gold, golden crow flames surged wildly, star trail patterns swirled around his body, and his spear thrust out like a dragon.

"boom!"

With the support of the Staff of All Things, the power of the Golden Crow's flames increased even further.

The light was dazzling, and the air seemed to explode.

Tang Wanzhou blocked it with his protective aura, not only remaining completely still, but also keeping the jade boat beneath his feet perfectly stable.

"It's a very good psychic staff! With it, you won't be at a disadvantage even if those fifth-level inheritors use top-tier magical artifacts. But against top-tier inheritors like Tang Wanqiu and Cang Li... it's hard to say!"

"Them? They are all dragon-type cultivators. They have completed in two years the path that other inheritors take more than ten years to walk. Their physical bodies and Taoist techniques are probably obviously lacking."

Li Weiyi raised the Wanwu Spear above his head.

Instantly, the light of countless stars fell down and gathered at the tip of the spear.

He uttered a single word: "Fight!"

Flames and starlight converged on his body, forming a divine armor over two meters tall. He leaped up and swung it fiercely, creating a violent ripple on Tang Wanzhou's protective aura.

The bright spearhead sank completely into it.

This move is the strongest telekinetic attack that Li Weiyi can currently unleash.

A look of surprise appeared in Tang Wanzhou's eyes.

Li Wei landed back on the jade boat, his footsteps creating ripples in the water: "How was that move?"

Tang Wanzhou smiled slightly and said, "The wonder of using the power of starlight to power this staff is somewhat beyond my expectations. When combined with that Douzi mental technique, it is indeed considered top-tier at the sixth level of the Dao Seed Realm. But if you want to reach the top or become invincible, your mental power still needs to be further improved. After all, you have only just broken through to the fifth-level Spiritual Master."

Praised with a smile, Li Weiyi put away the Staff of All Things and became modest: "It's just borrowing external force! If this staff is taken away, it will instantly revert to its original form."

"If a mind master wants to transcend realms and defy the odds, they must rely on external forces."

Tang Wanzhou continued, "Insect tamers borrow swarms of insects, talisman masters borrow talismans, and formation masters borrow formations. In addition, there are spellcasting, beast taming, spirit summoning, and so on."

"The main reason why a cultivator can be invincible in the same realm is through the accumulation of resources and external forces."

“A mind master like you, who has cultivated the Golden Crow Flame, is one in ten thousand, extremely rare.”

"That's what I meant by 'unless,' unless you can prepare a large number of talismans, formations, and swarms of insects."

“The confidence of the chant master comes from this.”

"With your extraordinary talent, if you are well prepared, you could even defeat someone at the sixth or seventh level of the Dao Seed Realm."
