The Primordial Law

Chapter 395 The Rising Sun Over Japan

The three hundred sets of governor's robes and seals are of extraordinary power. They were forged by the Zen Sea Temple and given to the three hundred governors to guard the three hundred states of the living realm in order to suppress the demon king, the sect, and the dead.

This has created a glorious era for the Lingxiao habitat for thousands of years.

Before each governor takes office, Zen Hai Guan Wu must personally activate the governor's robe and seal so that they can wield their power.

Upon the end of their term, the official robes and seals automatically fell into disuse and could no longer be used.

Many people believe that one of the reasons for the great collapse of Lingxiao Realm during the catastrophe a thousand years ago was the disappearance of Chanhai Guanwu, the end of the term of three hundred governors, the loss of their official robes and seals in many aspects, and the great loss of their combat power.

The governor's robe on Li Weiyi's body was activated by the Zen Sea Mist.

One can utilize some of its power without needing to cultivate the Dragon Awakening Technique.

The reason it's only a part is because his cultivation level is a far cry from that of the governors of a thousand years ago.

The "Dragon Awakening Technique" was merely a spell created by Yu Yaozi specifically for those governors' robes. This technique could not completely solve the problem of the robes' dormancy, making it rather useless. It required cultivation layer by layer to unlock more power.

It takes too much time.

Many people believe that practicing the Dragon Awakening Technique is not as good as practicing Taoist arts. Taoist arts, at least, do not rely on external forces and are not subject to the control of tools.

……

Night falls, high in the sky.

Ancient trees that have grown for countless years, majestic and imposing, eternal and immortal.

"Ow!"

The dragon soul, over a hundred meters long, emitted a high-pitched roar, and the sound waves spread outwards.

His misty form meandered thousands of meters in the air, releasing an aura of imperial power. The onlookers on the ground below trembled in their souls, feeling that Li Weiyi was not a spiritualist at all, but rather an ancient governor who had returned from across time.

Li Weiyi stood on the dragon's head, holding a ten-foot-long spear. Dressed in a purple official robe, he was upright and handsome, in the prime of his life, young and sharp, as he crossed the void to chase after Xie Chucai.

"boom!"

A burst of spiritual energy erupted from between his eyebrows, causing the air within several miles to vibrate violently.

On the branches, the needles of the ground pine fell like silver rain.

Under Li Weiyi's telekinetic control, he extended his arm in a circular motion, unleashing a burst of energy. These silver needles, each a foot long, transformed into a long river of needle rain, shooting towards Xie Chucai with a whooshing sound.

"Li Weiyi, did you really think I was defeated by you? You've fallen for my trap!"

Xie Chucai suddenly turned around, staring at Li Weiyi above the Dragon Soul's head, his hands outstretched.

Instantly, within the Daoist manifestation covering nine miles, the crimson magical energy rapidly contracted, transforming into the wondrous sight of "the sky collapsing," which suppressed Li Weiyi.

Xie Chucai deliberately lured Li Weiyi away from the Earth Demon Pine, intending to use this opportunity to break his advantage.

He believed that the reason why they hadn't been able to defeat Li Weiyi for so long was that Li Weiyi was able to mobilize the Yin energy of the Earth Demon Pine, thus gaining a geographical advantage and greatly increasing his combat power.

"Wow!"

Li Weiyi glanced at the sky filled with magical energy crashing down upon him, remaining calm and composed. He was enveloped in a cloud of purple mist, and with the strong spatial fluctuations, his body disappeared.

The next instant, a cloud of purple mist appeared above Xie Chucai's head.

Li Weiyi stood on the sacred and dazzling Fusang Tree, traversing space and bursting out of the purple mist.

The light between his brows was extremely bright.

The golden crow flames that flew out of the spirit realm and the array patterns that surged from the Fusang Divine Tree enveloped his entire body.

The sight was truly wondrous when viewed from the ground.

The Fusang Divine Tree is rooted in the sky, while Li Weiyi is like a rising sun, a golden crow, soaring among the branches and leaves of the divine tree, his light illuminating a large area of ​​the city.

"It's an array pattern, an array formation, the Rising Sun True Spirit Array... Good lad, he actually imprinted the array pattern on the spirit of the Fusang Divine Tree beforehand, condensed the Rising Sun with the Golden Crow Flame, and used his body as the array's core. The array is complete!"

Tai Shiyu was more excited than anyone else, never expecting Li Weiyi to arrange the formation like this.

Even more unexpectedly, within three days, he not only broke through to the sixth-star Spirit Master realm, but also mastered the Chaoyang True Spirit Array... well, not completely mastered it, he simplified the array.

But it's more than enough to deal with seventh-level martial arts cultivators.

Xie Chucai activated the power of his blood-stained robes to deflect the countless pine needles flying towards him, causing them to explode into wisps of silver mist. Then, he raised his swords with both hands, condensing a vast energy of light and shadow from the blood pool and silver sea, and slashed at the falling "Sunrise".

"It's an array, a grand array perfectly integrated with the Golden Crow Flame. Is this the combat power of a Mind Master?"

From Xie Chucai's ancestral field, ten high-grade magical artifacts flew out one after another, protecting him and putting him in an unprecedented state of tension.

The ten magical artifacts were obtained by Xie Chucai after defeating ten experts at the seventh level of the Dao Seed Realm. Each one was extraordinary.

Countless array runes covered Li Weiyi's body, with array plates swirling around him. Like a crimson-golden rising sun crashing down, it suppressed Xie Chucai, causing him to plummet from mid-air and hurtle rapidly toward the summit of one of the six demonic mountains.

Xie Chucai desperately resisted with his Blood Pool Silver Sea, but it only slowed down his descent.

"Boom!"

The entire Liunian Zen Temple trembled slightly.

The snow-covered area atop the Demon Mountain was ravaged by the two men, triggering a small avalanche. Upon landing, Xie Chucai's ten protective magical artifacts scattered in all directions.

"They were knocked down to the mountaintop!"

"What an overbearing force! Even the peerless genius of Du'e Temple can't stop it."

"The Fusang Divine Tree, the Golden Crow Facing the Sun, I seem to see the traces of immortals from the ancient era."

The martial arts practitioners in the Lingxiao Realm were so excited that they let out a long roar.

Many powerful cultivators at the Dao Seed Realm used their movement techniques to rush towards the mountaintop, wanting to witness the defeat of the geniuses of the Crossing Calamity Temple and to see if Xie Chucai had been killed.

"The so-called genius of the Holy Dark Family is nothing special. We Hidden People can easily knock him down from the sky with just a simple formation. If we were to use our Insect Master identity to release seven strange insects and summon a swarm of insects, wouldn't we crush them directly?" Hidden Eleven rushed towards the mountaintop, proud of his Hidden Sect lineage.

Shi Jiuzhai chuckled: "Perhaps we're worried that Xie Chucai and the Holy Dark Family won't accept defeat after they've lost! We have to beat our opponents until they're completely convinced before we can feel truly satisfied with our victory."

"Xie Chucai is ultimately one step away from becoming a young emperor; he is no match for a legendary mind master in the same realm."

"If the Nine Li Hermits win this battle, we'll all go to the Heavenly Pavilion tonight, and all expenses will be charged to Fairy Yu!" someone shouted.

First, it drew a chorus of boos.

However, many people then joined in the commotion, finding the suggestion quite reasonable.

……

The wind direction changed quietly.

Everyone realized the extraordinary nature of the Nine Li Hidden Man, and their hearts were filled with a desire to win, unlike at the beginning when they came purely to join in the fun.

The monastery was filled with spectators, leaving no secrets to be kept.

Conflicts broke out in some areas covered by the array.

Another, even more dangerous struggle is quietly unfolding on a level unknown to anyone. A transcendent figure from the imperial court, wielding a banner capable of mobilizing the power of thirty-six earth veins, enters the Six Thoughts Zen Temple.

Princess Yunchang and other prominent figures followed in their carriages.

All the martial arts practitioners watching the battle stopped on the desolate mountain ridge covered with rubble, gazing at the snow-covered peaks ahead.

The Fusang Divine Tree appeared to grow atop the mountain, radiating light in all directions and rapidly melting the accumulated snow. Li Wei landed, standing between the two trees in the "Yifu" position, flames burning on his body, array runes and array plates flickering.

Instead of pressing his advantage, Li Weiyi sensed that although Xie Chucai was injured, his momentum was stable, he had no weaknesses, and instead exuded a dangerous aura.

Xie Chucai smashed a large crater on the mountaintop, his long hair was almost completely burned away, dark red bloodstains hung from the corner of his mouth, and he stared intently at Li Weiyi, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Before the war, he never imagined that he would suffer such a great loss.

Since he began cultivating, he had always easily defeated any cultivator of the same level he encountered, whether they used battle formations or talismanic rain. Nothing like today, where the battle was so difficult.

"Ow!"

Li Weiyi reached out into the void, summoning a dragon soul over a hundred meters long: "If you admit defeat now, I will spare your life, just like last time at the West Sea King's Mansion."

That's definitely not true!
Instead, the goal is to use words to disrupt their mind and reason.

Xie Chucai, holding a silver knife, stepped out of the deep pit: "Now, it's difficult for you to borrow the earth's yin energy from the Earth Demon Pine, but my Xuanbing Force can unleash its strongest power by borrowing the cold energy of the snow mountain. The advantage of the terrain now belongs to me."

Li Weiyi said, "Do you think I still need the advantage of location now?"

"The dragon soul you summoned is very strong; it is the soul of an ancient emperor. The formation is also very interesting and powerful. However, the disciples of the Holy Dark Family are not someone you can easily underestimate."

Centered on Xie Chucai's body, within the blood-red Dao Heart Outer Manifestation, the Dharma Qi was so intense it turned inky black, continuously extending outwards.

In an instant, he was enveloped in darkness and disappeared.

He could not be sensed by telekinesis.

Li Weiyi already knew about the "Absolute Dark Domain" and had always been wary of it.

Thanks to it, Xie Chucai was able to withstand a punch from Shi Liuyu without getting injured.

When truly facing him, Li Weiyi finally felt the power of this dark force. His senses were completely disabled; he couldn't see Xie Chucai's condition or know what moves he was using.

"Chichi!"

Dark power spread, constantly devouring the spiritual light emanating from the Fusang Divine Tree, and even the array patterns of the Chaoyang True Spirit Array began to crumble.

The night was completely darkened by this strange power, as if layers of black cloth had been laid down.

In the darkness, Xie Chucai's voice drew closer: "The night belongs to the Holy Dark Family. Our strength is at its peak. I have the advantage of timing and location, and my cultivation is also above yours. How can you fight me? Admit defeat. Kneel down and admit defeat now, and I will spare your life."

Li Weiyi, riding the dragon soul and wielding a spear, charged into that dark realm, intending to break it.

The moment I stepped inside, I felt a chill run through my entire body.

Sight, hearing, and mental perception all vanished, as if one were in a dark vacuum. Even with the Heavenly Eye activated, one could only see a few feet away.

How to fight this?
Xie Chucai appeared like a ghost beside Li Weiyi, activating the Blood Pool Silver Sea to its limit, and unleashed a slash.

When danger was within two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters), Li Weiyi realized that he was unable to react in time.
