The Primordial Law

Chapter 410 The Collapse of Ge Xiantong
Li Weiyi stood at the bow of the ship, raising his hand above his head.

"boom!"

Seventy-two pillars of lightning descended from the sky, transforming into a lightning strike array, causing the surrounding waters to boil.

He withdrew all his magical energy into his body and muttered to himself, "It's only a seventy-two-strike lightning array! Lu Cangsheng could cultivate a thirty-six-strike lightning array when he was in the Five Seas Realm, so he should be able to cultivate a seventy-two-strike lightning array when he reaches the Dao Seed Realm."

"His talent in thunder magic is indeed extraordinary. No wonder he is known as the most talented person in the Thunder Cloud Sect in a thousand years."

"The true scriptures of the Nine Heavens Secret Treasury are truly extraordinary; one can gain great insights after just a few days of study."

Li Weiyi returned to the Divine Martial Tower and stored the purple jade tablet in his Blood Mud Space. Afterward, he also packed up and took with him the various interpretations and insights from the bookshelf.

The other two volumes of Taoist scriptures are no exception.

The entire fifth floor of the Divine Martial Tower was looted.

Zen Sea Mist, dressed in red, arrived at the fifth floor of the tower and, seeing the empty space inside, paused for a moment: "Are you planning to escape?"

Li Weiyi knew that the commotion from her breakthrough earlier had alerted her, and he laughed, "You took such a huge risk to come to Phoenix Pavilion, you should at least take something with you, right? How's the situation on your end?"

The vast majority of the books in the Shenwu Pagoda were collected during the Chanhai Guanwu period.

She's about to get married and needs some dowry, which Li Weiyi doesn't think is excessive.

Zen Sea Observation breaks the formation, pushes open the window on the fifth floor of the Divine Martial Tower, and the view outside is wide open. Under the starlight, you can see the vast palaces and vegetation of Phoenix Pavilion.

Below the mountain, the Ling River flows far away, and the city stretches for a hundred miles.

She said, "I saw her! But I couldn't wake her up. The incantation at the Rice Sect's main altar must still be ongoing. Now, we can only hope that the Zuoqiu Sect can break through the underground immortal palace and destroy the altar as soon as possible."

The strategy that Zen Hai Guan Wu and his three masters had agreed upon was to have the Southern forces, such as the Zuoqiu Clan and the Jiuli Tribe, deal with the Dao Sect.

Li Weiyi frowned: "Placing all our hopes on Yu Yaozi alone is too passive!"

"Even if Yuyao doesn't wake up, I'm still here, aren't I?"

Zen Sea Mist turned around, smiling gently: "I'm curious, that day when I asked you if you wanted to come back to Lingxiao City with me, you answered without even thinking. Why was that?"

Li Weiyi shook his head with a wry smile: "I can't answer that. I'm afraid of making grand pronouncements that I don't have the ability to deliver. I'm afraid of losing some people, I'm afraid this habitat will turn into something I utterly despise, I'm afraid of many things."

"But what I fear most is that if I flee without a fight this time, I will think of running away the moment I face any difficulties and challenges in the future, and I will lose the ability to face danger. When danger comes to me, I will be helpless."

"Zen Mist, I must have an indomitable fighting spirit to pursue the pinnacle of martial arts."

Zen Sea Guanwu gazed at him for a long time, then nodded gently: "We don't have much time left! There are two things we must do immediately. First, go to the Imperial Treasury and retrieve the governor's robe and seal stored there. Once activated, they will greatly increase the court's strength."

Half of the governor's official robes and seals were kept in the imperial treasury.

Li Weiyi said, "The Imperial Treasury holds the most precious resources of Lingxiao Palace, comparable to the national treasury. It is heavily guarded, and entering it is as difficult as ascending to heaven. Taking the governor's robe and seal from it is even more impossible. The Imperial Treasury is guarded by the Blood-Clad Chief Steward, one of the ten most transcendent figures in the court. Is he trustworthy?"

Zen Sea Observer said, “He is not the person I trust the most! If I have to rely on a transcendent power to retrieve the governor’s robe and seal, I have to choose the one I trust the most.”

Li Weiyi didn't press her to find out who the person she trusted most was, but instead asked, "What's the second thing?"

"We must force the demon race, the Rice Cult, and the Demon Kingdom to act ahead of time, and do so immediately, to disrupt their rhythm of action," said Zen Sea Mist.

Li Weiyi said, "I will handle it. The Nine Li Hidden Sect is more than capable of accomplishing this task. We will strive to eliminate all internal troubles in the city within a day, or even half a day."

"I will be very cooperative with you."

Zen Sea Mist seemed to have great confidence in the person she was about to meet.

Li Weiyi said, "The Six Thoughts Zen Temple and that traitor are the biggest hidden dangers and the greatest risks."

"Nothing in this world is perfect. It is about finding a glimmer of possibility in the face of the impossible."

Zen Sea Mist took a deep breath, lowered her eyes, and gently bit her red lips: "Actually, there's a third thing... We can try, first, to hug, to find that feeling of closeness..."

"Isn't this a bit too deliberate?" Li Weiyi asked.

Zen Sea Observer said, "It's better than remaining estranged forever."

"Humans are strange. They can spout grandiose words and vow to win the heart of a beauty, but when they actually try to do something, they always feel like their inner self is being tortured."

Li Weiyi stretched out his arms and moved around a bit before walking to her side. He stiffly pulled her into his arms, his whole body tense as he looked down at the night view, inhaling the fragrance from her hair.

Zen Sea Watching the Mist feigned ease and said with a smile, "I've heard that many couples only meet for the first time on their wedding night. Although they are nervous, they are not without anticipation. Aren't we just like newlyweds who have gone through the engagement, betrothal, and wedding ceremony, and have been led into the bridal chamber?"

Li Weiyi had a sudden inspiration: "That makes sense, I understand where the problem lies! I should go through the proper procedures in a real way. We can skip things like hiring a matchmaker and exchanging betrothal gifts. But there should at least be one witness, right?"

Zen Sea Mist's pretty face revealed an unusual expression, her eyes narrowing: "Let Li Ling and the Seven Little Ones officiate at their wedding."

"Them? They're weird...so-so! I think it's necessary for them to drink a cup of wine together, bow to heaven and earth, and set up a wedding room," Li Weiyi said.

Zen Sea Observer said, "As you wish."

“Actually, I have another question,” Li Weiyi said. Chanhai Guanwu frowned: “It’s really too difficult for you to ask me about love now. Just think of us as a pair of Daoist partners forced into marriage by heaven and earth. The cause and effect were planted on the bronze ship, and it’s completely beyond our control. God, you just had to fall on my grave, and your blood just happened to awaken me, and I just happened to not be completely dead.”

Li Weiyi said, "No, no, what I want to ask is, how exactly is the secret technique of reviving a corpse by dripping blood performed?"

The conversation between the two quickly returned to cultivation.

……

Ge Xiantong's eyes were blank and pained, and he was like an empty shell without a soul. He tried his best to hold back and walked on the way back to the cloud formation.

Over the past ten days, the embroidered guards watching over the formation have changed countless times.

"Master Ge!"

He was called by a divine guard in embroidered robes, but he seemed not to hear him at all.

The formation opened a crack, and Ge Xiantong walked in, dazed and confused.

Upon arriving at the foot of Fengge Mountain, tears streamed down his face. He took out a jade talisman and activated the palace gate formation.

After closing the palace gates and the array, Ge Xiantong could no longer hold back and slammed his head against a nearby pillar to relieve the pain and helplessness in his heart.

He wouldn't dare do that outside.

He was afraid that people would see him, laugh at his weakness, and embarrass the Grand Palace Master.

"Master!"

With tears streaming down his face, Ge Xiantong shouted towards the mountaintop. Then, as if all his strength had left him, he walked and climbed the steps, sobbing and crying out, "Master, wake up... Open your eyes and look at the Lingxiao Realm now, look at Lingxiao City now..."

"A crushing defeat in the Western Front... the Zhu Clan is annihilated!"

"In the three provinces, hundreds of millions of people have become food for the demons... They are eating people! The great and small demons are rampaging through cities and towns, and we can't stop them, we simply can't stop them..."

"Battlefield blood, swords that slay enemies, all for those who never bow down in chaotic times."

"Boneless soldiers and halberds that break through enemy lines, all for a single seat in this prosperous era."

"Only the Western Sea Slaves remain in the Western Frontier, desperately holding on. If they are defeated... everything will be over... everything will be over. The entire Western Frontier will be destroyed, and the people will live like animals, not even human beings, but like two-legged sheep..."

"Xue Jian Tang Ting has occupied Fengzhou, and the Demon Kingdom's Crown Prince is running rampant in Lingxiao City, his tyranny overwhelming, and no one can control him... This disciple is suffocating under his oppression, and longs to fight the enemy to the death. But I fear that even if I want to die, I won't be able to, and instead be captured alive by the enemy and used against the court, bringing shame upon you... Being the Grand Palace Master's disciple makes my life so painful; everything I do is wrong, and I can't do anything..."

"Master, please speak! Why won't you speak..."

Ge Xiantong mustered up a great deal of courage and roared, "You're the one who caused this trouble, why have you been hiding all this time... you... Li Weiyi..."

Ge Xiantong's mind went blank. He wiped away the tears in his eyes with his sleeve, immediately stood up straight, and looked at the man and woman coming down from the mountain. He was sure he hadn't seen wrong and it wasn't a hallucination.

Li Weiyi stopped above the dozens of jade steps and laughed, "Old Ge, why are you crying so sadly?"

Ge Xiantong's eyes turned icy as he shifted from Li Weiyi to the Zen Sea Mist beside him. He was first startled, then angrily demanded, "Li Weiyi, Zuoqiu Hongting, how did you two manage to sneak into Phoenix Pavilion?"

"Wow!"

The Dragon Whip flew out from the ancestral field, unleashing a burst of magical energy.

He immediately went into battle mode.

Li Weiyi was taken aback. He looked behind him but didn't see Zuoqiu Hongting. Then, he suddenly realized and asked solemnly, "What is the situation in the Western Region right now?"

Ge Xiantong said, "Zuoqiu Hongting, you've gone too far! You actually disguised yourself as the Mist Emperor, why didn't you disguise yourself as my master? You're simply lawless!"

Zen Sea Observer looked at Li Weiyi: "Judging from his current state, he doesn't seem like someone we can have a proper conversation with. Let's keep him under control first, lest he ruin our plans."

"Alright," Li Weiyi said.

Ge Xiantong knew very well that he was no match for Li Weiyi and Zuoqiu Hongting working together.

So he turned and ran away.

This is too strange. The foundation of the Phoenix Pavilion's formation was left by the Mist Emperor back then. How could two juniors possibly break in?

Even if the Holy Spirit King Nian Master from Zuoqiu Sect were to personally arrive, it would be utterly delusional to think that he could break the formation silently under the noses of the Second and Third Palace Masters.

"Old Ge, don't go, let's talk."

Li Weiyi released the external manifestation of his Dao Heart, enveloping Ge Xiantong. Instantly, his magical energy condensed into seven-clawed fiery dragons, which gave chase.

During this period, although Li Weiyi had been studying the classics of Taoism and cultivating the Divine Dao Seed, the Wind Mansion Dragon Seed was progressing even faster, constantly absorbing the scriptures in the Longevity Golden Pill, and its cultivation had already reached the peak of the fourth level of the Dao Seed Realm.
