The Primordial Law

Chapter 358 Ten Thousand Miles of Hundred Workshops and Lingxiao City

An Xianjing first looked at Jiang Xin's blood-written letter, her eyes gradually darkening from calm.

The deputy hall master of the Heavenly Principle Hall laughed and said, "I have never thought of the Sui Sect's betrayal..."

"Now you can think about it!"

An Xianjing threw the blood-stained letter out, causing a violent shockwave in the hall.

The patriarch of the Sheng family became cautious and whispered, "Is the Palace Master going to trust a mere child?"

“Look for yourselves, look at the good deeds your Sui Sect has done. Jiang Xin accused you of ten major crimes. After the accusations, people died!” An Xianjing said.

The patriarch of the Sheng family was shocked, feeling as if he had been ambushed and at a loss. Just as he was hesitating whether to pick it up, the deputy hall master of the Heavenly Principle Hall used his magic energy to roll up the blood book in his hand first.

He read aloud, “Rice Ancestor Heavenly Venerable above, Elder Jiang Xin of Fuzhou, presents this blood-written letter… Hiss! Written by Jiang Xin before his death?”

He froze.

The Sheng family patriarch's expression changed: "It must be a forgery."

"Do you think we can't even tell the difference between real and fake? Blood, words, and the meaning behind words can all be examined in great detail."

The deputy hall master of the Heavenly Principles Hall gave a light hum and continued reading: "Yang Shenjing of the Sui Sect is domineering and tyrannical. After entering the Cloud Immortal Plain for more than a month, he used the Luantai as a sharp weapon to leak the secrets of the Divine Sect, resulting in the tragic deaths of dozens of experts in the sect. Under the guise of external coercion, he secretly took over the power of the Divine Sect in Lingxiao City and the four major city gates. The situation in the other states can be seen from this."

The two hall masters of the Kuru Palace looked at the Sheng family patriarch with concern, their gazes filled with doubt and coldness.

The deputy hall master of the Heavenly Principles Hall said, "I have heard that the Second Palace Mistress, the lowly maid Xianmin, bestowed upon Yang Shenjing the Thousand-Year Longevity Pill, intending to cultivate him to the Transcendent Realm. This old scoundrel Shenjing was originally a retainer, yet he gluttonously devoured the main family of the Jiuli tribe to grow stronger. Now he has also become a disciple of Xianmin, and the future of the Sui Sect is bright, with countless sects within reach. He will surely devour the Divine Sect to serve his new master."

The patriarch of the Sheng family immediately flew into a rage. If the blood letter hadn't been in the hands of a deputy hall master, he would have already killed it: "Slander! It's fake... This blood letter must be fake. It was written on by someone after Jiang Xin died. His blood was used to imitate his handwriting."

The deputy hall master of the Kuru Palace reminded him, "According to the news from your Sui Sect, Jiang Xin's identity was exposed, and Yao Qian was forced to silence him, resulting in his death in the Attendant Hall prison. No matter how powerful that Fourth Divine Son is, could he be a match for Yao Qian? Could he possibly come into contact with a corpse right under Yao Qian's nose and write a letter in blood?"

The deputy head of the Heavenly Court was still reading: "First crime: selling disabled rice men to the island barbarians to be used as mounts and food."

……

After reading it all, the face of the Sheng family patriarch turned ashen, because seven or eight out of ten of the charges were true.

It is clear that the blood oath was genuine.

but……

How could such a mistake have occurred?
Before the Sheng family patriarch could explain, the deputy hall master of the Heavenly Principle Hall, who had previously been working with him, instantly switched sides, standing up with a gloomy look in his eyes: "Good, very good. Your Sui Sect is really insatiable. The Divine Sect has secretly given you so much support, yet you are still not satisfied."

"Do you really think you've covered your tracks perfectly? I've received countless secret reports long ago, and I've kept quiet because your usefulness outweighs your mistakes."

"What are the Rice People in your eyes? Tools to be used? Food to feed the strange beasts? You have gone too far in deceiving the God Cult... Just wait, when the Rice Ancestor comes out of seclusion, we will see how your Sui Sect climbs to the position of one of the millions of sects."

The master of the Kuru Palace took the blood-written letter and checked its authenticity.

The deputy hall master of the Kuru Palace said, "I noticed something strange a long time ago! The secret report said that the Divine Sect's assets in Nanyan Pass were all wiped out by the Attendant Hall and the General's Office. How come when it came to you, you put all the blame on the Nine Li Hidden Sect?"

Yao Qingxuan had grasped the general outline, but still couldn't understand how Li Weiyi had gotten Jiang Xin to write the blood letter; this move was incredibly ingenious.

She had to start retaliating: "You lured Li Songgu to Nanyan Pass, didn't you? Used me as bait, or my eldest disciple?"

“You… Yao Qingxuan…”

The patriarch of the Sheng family was furious: "And you all... you were all completely fooled by that brat who's barely out of his wits..."

"The blood letter is real; it must have been written by Jiang Xin before his death." The Lord of the Kuru Palace had a sinister look in his eyes, making no attempt to hide his murderous intent.

The things revealed in the blood-written letter have crossed the line for all rice farmers.

The vast majority of rice people have a great prejudice against humans, not only against Yao Qingxuan, but also against Yang Shenjing and the ancestor of the Sheng family.

Yao Qingxuan took out a thick stack of things from his bag: "Over the past ten years, I have also collected a lot of evidence of your Sui Sect's crimes. All the Palace Masters, please take a look."

After reading the second letter written in blood, An Xianjing sighed and looked at Tuoba Butuo: "You were hunted down as soon as you left the main altar?"

Tuoba Butuo nodded: "After I received the blood letter, my first priority was to rush to the Daozu Temple, hoping to return to the main altar via the spatial teleportation array. However, I was ambushed and nearly died. I had no other choice but to travel thousands of miles to the entrance of the underground immortal abode."

Elder Xu cursed loudly, "Damn it, this is outrageous! We'll die if we go out, and we'll die if we come back. How are we supposed to live?"

Yao Qingxuan said, "Did you all hear that? Information about entering and leaving the main altar has long been controlled by others. What we know is entirely up to them. Why did Qi Xiao go to Qiuzhou? Like Tuoba Butuo, he can't return and can only go to the underground immortal abode. Tuoba Butuo, is the Fourth Divine Son really dead?"

Tuoba Butuo shook his head, his heart aching: "I don't know... The gates of Nanyan Pass are closed. I heard that Yao Shaoqing of Luantai, the General's Office, and the Jiang family are working together to deal with him. He can't escape, and he has most likely met with misfortune."

Yao Qingxuan walked to An Xianjing's side and looked at Li Weiyi's blood letter: "If my disciple really meets with misfortune, I will take Yao Qian's life. At that time, I will not care whether he is a member of the Divine Sect or not. I will make the Sui Sect members go down to their deaths one by one."

“He wrote to me, asking for my help,” An Xianjing said. Yao Qingxuan said, “It’s too dangerous. You can’t go. Let me, as your master, go! He’s incredibly audacious to compare the Rice Cult to a cult. If he were still alive, I would definitely teach him a lesson.”

The deputy hall master of the Heavenly Principles Hall looked at Tuoba Butuo and smiled, "You have a tenacious spirit. It's fortunate that you escaped, otherwise the Sui Sect would have deceived everyone again. Would you be interested in becoming my disciple?"

Tuoba Butuo said, "Tuoba Butuo will never betray the Southern Venerable and the Southern Qing Palace in this lifetime."

The Hall Master of the Withered Glory Hall stood up: "The Sui Sect is powerful, posing a great threat and having a significant impact. This matter requires careful consideration. Elder Qiu, you must have many secrets in your mind, right? I wonder if Yang Shenjing planted a death flame in you? Take him away!"

……

…………

Yuntianxian was originally a plateau that rose abruptly from the ground, three thousand feet high, with no buffer zone and only cliffs and precipices.

From a distance, it resembles a flattened sacred mountain, or a stone platform between heaven and earth.

Its origin is unknown, yet it has existed since ancient times.

Starting from Nanyan Pass, follow the Xushan Tianmai upwards to reach the entrance of Yuntian Xianyuan, the magnificent Nantianmen.

The South Heavenly Gate is as vast as the sky, with pillars resembling mountain peaks, cast from iron with cloud-patterned designs for thousands of times. Two giant guardian beasts, "Pan Chi," resembling pythons or dragons, are over two hundred meters long and coiled around it, their scales as metallic as metal.

After a brief inspection, the Taishi family's forces officially entered the Cloud Heaven Immortal Plain above the sea of ​​clouds.

Abundant spiritual energy rushed towards me.

Along the wide sky road where ten mythical beast carriages can travel side by side, there are spiritual lakes and hills, where mythical beasts and birds roam, and ancient buildings can often be seen shrouded in the light of array formations.

Seeing that Li Weiyi was looking outside, Taishi Bai smiled and said, "Is this your first time visiting Yuntian Immortal Plain? Have you noticed anything special about it?"

"The magical energy is too dense! The entire Cloud Heaven Immortal Plain seems to be a Dao Domain," Li Weiyi said.

Taishi Bai said, "Look at the soil on the ground."

"Spiritual soil? All the soil in the entire Cloud Heaven Immortal Plain is spiritual soil?"

Li Weiyi was truly shocked.

The soil on both sides of the road was a light tricolor.

Tai Shi Bai laughed and said, "In extremely ancient times, Yuntian Immortal Plain was indeed all spiritual land, and the central area even had a large amount of immortal soil, which was the realm of fallen immortals. Because it fell down, it dispersed the surrounding realm of the dead and formed the living world we can survive in now."

"But its spirituality has already been largely lost, amounting to only one or two tenths of the spiritual soil."

Li Weiyi said, "It's already quite remarkable. Whoever occupies the Cloud Heaven Immortal Plain will have inexhaustible resources and the best cultivation environment in the world."

Tai Shi Bai said, "Indeed, the Yuntian Immortal Plain, with its three thousand miles of fertile land, is on a much higher plane than the twenty-eight states of Lingxiao. The strength and stability of its matter are several times that of those below, and many of its minerals are unique to this world."

Li Weiyi thought to himself, no wonder whoever became the master of Yuntian Immortal Plain felt like a celestial being, transcending the mortal world.

Several streams, several meters wide, appeared on both sides of the Heavenly Road, their waters gurgling and spiritual mist drifting. In the distance, Lingxiao City, shrouded in the glow of the four-colored immortal land, was already in sight.

The city walls are majestic and were built using "glass spirit stone," a unique material found on the Immortal Plains.

They also cast ten thousand dragons from a certain metal, forming the Ten Thousand Dragons Wall Array on the south city wall.

The convoy drove along the increasingly wide Lingxi Sky Road into the city, where a bustling and vibrant scene unfolded before Li Weiyi's eyes.

Tai Shi Bai laughed and said, "Zuo Ning, do you know what the most distinctive feature of Lingxiao City is?"

"What?" Li Weiyi asked.

Tai Shi Bai said, "Safety! Extreme safety has created the ultimate prosperity here from ancient times to the present. Unlike those prefectures, once they become dangerous, the number of deaths and injuries is countless."

"Does Lingxiao City prohibit martial arts?" Li Weiyi asked.

Tai Shi Bai waved his hand: "Lingxiao City is divided into ten li (a unit of distance) and ten li (another unit of distance) and one fang (a ... respectively. Each fang (a unit of distance) has a population of 100,000 people... After Xiao Tian was appointed magistrate, the population of the city decreased sharply, but now it has far exceeded that number.

“Each ward and each village has its own independent formation, isolating them from each other. Once a battle breaks out, the formation is activated instantly, minimizing the impact.”

"In addition, there are thirty-six earth veins beneath the city, each ward has a boundary marker, and there is a great array in the sky above the Nine Heavens. All three of these can absorb the energy dissipated from the battle. Even if you are a martial artist at the Dao Seed Realm, you can forget about causing much damage in the city."

"Besides the neighborhoods, there are four spiritual streams, numerous scenic spots and historical sites, six ancient emperor manors, the Thunder God Palace, and countless transcendent mansions and gardens, all of which are spread throughout the city. The entire Lingxiao City is hundreds of miles wide."

"When we have some free time, I'll take you and Xiangcen sightseeing together. I guarantee you'll be amazed."

Li Weiyi was more interested in the important matter at hand and asked, "What exactly is the situation at the Court of Imperial Sacrifices? What can we, as spiritual practitioners, do?"
