The Primordial Law

Chapter 408 Ascending the Phoenix Pavilion
A maid pushed open the door and came in to serve the dishes.

Li Weiyi glanced at Chanhai Guanwu, who was sitting in his seat, and asked the maid, "How can Lingxiao Palace allow the Demon Kingdom's army to enter the city? Where is the dignity and honor of the imperial court?"

"Sir, you must be new to Lingxiao City. A few days ago, a major incident occurred. Fairy Yu of Luantai was assassinated and seriously injured..." the maid said.

Li Weiyi's eyes narrowed, finding the news hard to believe: "Fairy Yu was assassinated? Who would dare to do such a thing... She is the Second Palace Master's disciple and the eldest daughter of the Jiang family."

"It is said that it was Xie Mumu of the Holy Dark Family who did it, but there is no evidence," the maid said.

Li Weiyi said, "Xie Mucai...you mean Xie Chucai, right? How dare he? How could he possibly assassinate Fairy Yu? And what does this have to do with the Demon Kingdom's army entering the city?"

The maid said, "After the assassination attempt, Xie Mutou disappeared! The bigwigs of the Demon Kingdom suspect that he may have been imprisoned by the court or killed, so they dispatched troops into the city to investigate."

Li Weiyi was completely baffled: "Xie Chucai deserved to die for assassinating a court official. How could the Demon Kingdom use this as an excuse to bring its troops into the city?"

"There's no evidence of an assassination attempt. However, it's a fact that Xie Mutou disappeared within the city," the maid said.

Li Weiyi took a deep breath and sighed inwardly, wondering if it was a compromise from the Third Palace Master's side or a welcome from some people within the court.

Although the demon army that entered the city numbered only two or three hundred, the blow to the authority of the imperial court and the self-esteem and confidence of Lingxiao martial arts practitioners would be immeasurable.

Li Weiyi inquired about Yu Xianzi's injuries, but the maid knew little about them and took her leave.

Zen Sea Observer said, "The Dark Knights of the Holy Dark Family are the most elite of the best, handpicked from thousands. The Demon Kingdom crossed the Netherworld to bring them here; their ambitions are indeed considerable."

Li Weiyi sat down, eager to see Jiang Ning: "Logically speaking, the Second Palace Master should have already returned to Lingxiao City. Who exactly is this person from the Demon Kingdom who could force them to back down? You are the trouble you left behind."

Zen Sea Observer was stunned.

Next to it, the window of the restaurant suddenly opened with a bang.

Several powerful figures flew out of the side room and landed in the center of the Heavenly Street, blocking the path of the Demon Kingdom's army.

Tai Shi Yu's voice then rang out: "Tai Shi Yu, the leader of the Tai Shi Jia, has come to experience the skills of the four Blood Handprint Knights. If I am fortunate enough to win, I ask the Blood Handprint Knights to withdraw from Lingxiao City."

"Your Majesty, I have also come to take on this challenge."

"This time, I, Cao Shisan, will fight to the death and never retreat."

Most of the martial arts practitioners who had gathered in the lobby on the first floor rushed out, each summoning their magical artifacts and weapons.

"The Demon Kingdom's army, get out of Lingxiao City!" someone shouted.

"The imperial court agreed to let you enter the city, but we did not."

……

Zen Sea Observer, completely ignoring the conflict outside, felt wronged: "How can this be blamed on me?"

"You did half of what you were doing back then, and the consequences will be disastrous."

Li Weiyi counted on his fingers for her: "First of all, Qilin Zang is the son of Feilong. You killed Feilong, but you didn't eliminate him completely. Now, someone else has come back for revenge!"

“I admit that! But he hid himself back then, and Yingzhou is so vast that it’s impossible to find him,” said Zen Sea Mist.

Li Weiyi continued, "Yu Baxian of the Demon Kingdom, do you have a grudge against him? People from the Demon Kingdom come to Lingxiao Realm with the intention of taking revenge on Lingxiao Palace to some extent."

Zen Sea Observation Mist fell into deep thought: "It was Yu Baxian who first set his sights on Lingxiao Realm, which is why I made my move. It was indeed my fault that I failed to kill him."

Li Weiyi continued with a smile, "Leixiao Sect, you didn't eliminate the root of the problem either. Why didn't you get rid of the Holy Infant as a threat back then?"

Zen Sea Mist poured himself a full cup of wine and drank it down: "When I was here, I couldn't see these threats. I've never even heard of the Holy Infant you mentioned. A thousand years have passed! Even if I had wiped out Yu Baxian, Qilin Zang, Leixiao Sect, and the Holy Infant you mentioned back then, a thousand years later, if Lingxiao Palace falls into weakness, some martial arts cultivators will still appear out of nowhere to seek revenge on you."

"Therefore, the grudges are not the point; the root cause of the calamity is that Lingxiao Palace has fallen into weakness."

"Have you wiped out all your enemies from the past few years? You can't."

Li Weiyi asked her for a drink: "How could I possibly argue with you?"

"Let's go find the number one person in the Lingxiao Realm and see if we can change the inherent weakness of the Lingxiao Palace," Zen Sea Mist suddenly said.

Li Weiyi asked, "Can you unravel the Six Thoughts Mind Mantra?"

Zen Sea Observer shook his head: "When it comes to the mind, I have absolutely no confidence. But this is the only way we can do right now! If I go, at least there is a chance."

Li Weiyi thought of Tang Wanzhou's situation back then and was somewhat worried: "It's too dangerous. Nobody knows what state she's in now. She might not even remember you as her teacher. She might even kill you."

After a satisfying meal, Li Weiyi and Chanhai Guanwu quietly left.

From the direction of the city gate, the martial arts practitioners of Lingxiao City clashed with the dark knights, determined to defend their dignity in their own way.

Even knowing it's impossible, you should still do it.

Li Weiyi temporarily stored the Zen Sea Mist into the Blood Mud Space. Then, he used the Disguise Technique to transform into Ge Xiantong and swaggered towards the cloud formation that enveloped the Lingxiao Palace, the Taichang Temple, and other government offices.

I plan to take the risk and try to see if I can get in.

The last time I accompanied Taishi Yu to the Taichang Temple, the Embroidered-Robed Divine Guards guarding the place didn't even check the tokens before letting us through.

In a place like Lingxiao Palace, anyone with insufficient cultivation who dares to trespass will be killed by other formations even if they enter the cloud and mist formation. If one's cultivation is strong enough to disregard the three palace masters and a large number of longevity realm giants, then the cloud and mist formation will certainly not be able to stop them.

"Master Ge!"

The sixteen embroidered guards standing watch at the palace gate bowed in unison.

Li Weiyi nodded to them, mimicking Ge Xiantong's gesture.

The array's light veil opened.

Li Wei calmly walked in and headed towards the Phoenix Pavilion palace complex, which was thousands of feet high, along a spirit river that was several tens of feet wide.

They may appear relaxed, but they are actually under immense pressure.

The Luan Terrace and Lin Terrace stood majestically before him. The Second and Third Palace Masters were likely atop the mountain; he could see them with a slight release of his mind. Along the way, carriages of high-ranking officials passed by constantly, some of whom called out to him.

The status of a disciple of the Grand Palace Master is extremely prestigious, and no one dares to offend him.

Phoenix Pavilion is located between Luan Terrace and Lin Terrace. A series of flame-like buildings, including palaces, towers, pavilions, and towers, are built along the mountainside, spreading upwards in a stepped manner and reaching into the clouds.

There was a large formation in the clouds, with phoenix feathers appearing and disappearing within it.

Li Weiyi arrived at the palace gate at the foot of Fengge Mountain. Seeing that no one was around, she released the Zen Sea Mist Observation Formation. She quickly analyzed the formation, then pushed the gate open a foot, and the two of them slipped inside.

The palace gates closed, and the array of light and shadow reassembled, but Li Weiyi's heart was still pounding.

I can't calm down.

Calling this the most dangerous place in the entire Lingxiao Realm wouldn't be an exaggeration; only Zen Sea Mist could enter so easily. Once discovered…

The consequences would be unimaginable.

Upon entering the Phoenix Pavilion, Li Weiyi took a deep breath and immediately felt an indescribable comfort throughout his body, as if a thick stream of magical energy was flowing into him.

Even more unbelievable is that the Fengfu Dragon Seed and the Shenque Twelve-Character Dao Seed have become unusually active, actively communicating with heaven and earth.

If you seek enlightenment here, you will surely achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Zen Sea Observer walked ahead along the jade steps: "Inside the Phoenix Pavilion, there are killing array runes and transcendent runes everywhere. Be careful and don't wander around recklessly. Some places feel unfamiliar to me and are very dangerous."

The vast Phoenix Pavilion was eerily quiet, devoid of any living creature.

Li Weiyi couldn't completely relax, fearing that the legendary Grand Palace Master might suddenly appear disheveled and unleash a massacre. Observing the Zen Sea Mist, he noticed that even this former martial arts emperor seemed somewhat nervous.

He immediately became even more nervous!

When we reached the mountainside, the clouds were right overhead, two thousand meters above the ground.

Zen Sea Viewing the Mist arrives at the foot of a tall tower embedded in a stone wall. Above the tower gate is a plaque inscribed with the three characters "Shenwu Tower".

The formation of the Divine Martial Tower was clearly not set up by her back then; it took a lot of time to carefully unravel it.

The tower's interior is extremely spacious and extends over a hundred feet in depth, filled with densely packed bookshelves.

As Zen Sea Viewer walked through the mist, he recounted, "A thousand years ago, in the three hundred states of Lingxiao Realm, the martial arts, classics, and Taoist techniques of all the major powers were almost all collected here. There are at least rubbings and copies, and some true scriptures as well. Wait for me here!"

Li Weiyi asked, "You're going to the mountaintop alone?"

"Yes, it's too dangerous. You can't go. If I don't come back, take all the books here and leave Lingxiao City as soon as possible, the farther the better."

Zen Sea Mist then explained to him how to open the Divine Martial Tower and Phoenix Pavilion.

Once the method is mastered, even Ge Xiantong can freely enter and leave the Phoenix Pavilion, let alone Li Weiyi, a six-star spiritual master.

Li Weiyi has no right to worry about her. If she can't solve the problem with her abilities and intelligence, who can help her?
"This place is definitely one of the most important treasure troves in the Lingxiao Realm. Finally, I can comprehend the true scriptures."

Li Weiyi quickly moved among the bookshelves and arrived at the area where Taoist scriptures were stored.

There are over 30,000 books related to Taoism, covering all categories.

Even the supreme classic of the Zuoqiu school of Taoism, the "Bagua Shangxuan Jing", has a copy in its collection.

Moreover, it is not an ordinary copy; it is imprinted on jade slips to preserve the essence of the original text as much as possible, making it easier to comprehend the original text of the "Eight Trigrams Supreme Mystery Classic".

The transcriber's name is engraved on it—Huang Yuyao.

It was personally copied by the Grand Palace Master.

Jade slips resemble bamboo slips.

There are eight volumes in total.

Li Weiyi picked up the first jade slip and opened it. Instantly, the elegant and lively scripture leaped out, radiating a blue light.

Each verse seemed alive, dancing on the jade slip.

With just one glance, Li Weiyi was completely captivated, immersing himself in the enlightenment of the Great Dao.

Within the Divine Palace, one scripture after another was born.

Previously, the cultivation of the Twelve Characters of the Divine Palace was difficult, mainly because the ocean of scriptures carried by the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish was like a heavenly book, obscure and difficult to understand, causing Li Weiyi immense pain in his comprehension.

The feeling was like showing the world's greatest classics to a child who had just learned to read. Moreover, those classics were disrupted, transformed into a sea of ​​words.

In this way, each scripture requires a lot of time to comprehend.

When Li Weiyi began to comprehend the "Eight Trigrams Supreme Mystery Classic," it became much easier. It was no longer a painful experience, but rather a joyful one, with gains every moment.

He studied Taoist classics from a young age and could understand many parts of them; he could comprehend them as soon as he read them.

If you encounter anything you really don't understand, you can look for explanations on the bookshelf. Yu Yaozi has provided a dedicated interpretation, writing down her own understanding and insights.

In the end, Li Weiyi directly activated the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish and entered the ocean of words.

In this way, we can gain five times the time and verify the results from both sides.

Time passed by day by day.
