The Primordial Law

Chapter 426 Master and Disciple
Li Weiyi let out a long breath, dug out the Dao Fruit of the transcendent disciple, took the boundary bag, and collected the thousand-character wheel-shaped magic weapon.

Then, he used his movement technique to appear in a higher position, gathering his magic power in his eyes to observe the direction in which the Wind Chaser Beast and the group of demon cultivators retreated.

Blood mist filled the horizon.

The blood mist spread towards the Cloud Heaven Immortal Plain, climbing along the array of light curtains that Zen Sea Mist had once set up, and ascending the steep cliff face three thousand feet high towards the top.

It's too far away; I can't see what's going on.

But without a doubt, the Demon Kingdom's goal is to deal with the defensive formation of Yuntian Immortal Plain.

"It's like a blood sacrifice."

Li Weiyi turned around and looked in the other direction.

Sure enough, blood mist also filled the sky on the other side.

"Just how many experts has the Demon Kingdom sent? Do they really see the Lingxiao Realm as a place to plunder? Hmm!"

Li Weiyi sensed with his telekinesis that on both sides of the area shrouded in blood mist, there were crimson patterns spreading across the ground, attempting to connect with each other.

"The blood mist on the left is about 240 li away. The blood mist on the right is about 290 li away. It would take more than 20 of them to completely cover the Cloud Heaven Immortal Plain."

Li Weiyi, having studied numerous ancient texts at the Rice Sect headquarters, gained a general understanding of these strange formations.

"The Marquis they're talking about should be the one who's in charge of that blood mist ahead. His cultivation level shouldn't be too high, otherwise he could easily cross over two hundred miles and use his magic to attack me."

"No attack! This can only mean that his cultivation level isn't high enough to go that far."

"The less he dares to come out and deal with me, the more it shows that the blood sacrifice at this moment is crucial and he cannot extricate himself. Therefore, I have an even greater need to stop the blood sacrifice."

"Never mind! Anyway, with the Grand Palace Master protecting me, even a giant in the Longevity Realm can be considered a threat."

Li Weiyi gritted his teeth, carried the little girl on his back and rushed out to chase after the fleeing young marquis and his entourage.

He raised his spear and leaped to the top of the tree, his arrogance palpable. He was using this opportunity to test the lord's cultivation level and see at what distance he would attack.

If it were someone like Palace Master An, who possessed great longevity, Li Weiyi would have turned and fled.

……

"Didn't the Second Palace Master go to the Western Region?"

Within the city, the powerful figures of the imperial court at the Longevity Realm were unable to accept this sudden turn of events, feeling as if their beliefs had collapsed.

It should be noted that during the more than ten years that the Grand Palace Master locked up the palace, the Second Palace Master had been in charge of the overall affairs of the court.

At the summit of Fengge Pavilion, Sima Qian felt a sharp pain in his chest, his eyes bloodshot and he felt suffocated. He finally understood why his teacher had said she saw no possibility of saving Lingxiao City.

How can we protect it?
Just from the intimate way the Demon Prince addressed her, one could tell that the two had long been in cahoots.

Sima Qian recalled the events of the past ten years. Although the Xiaotian Decree was indeed issued by the Grand Palace Mistress after she was under the influence of the "Six Thoughts Heart Mantra," she then locked herself in the palace and refused to leave. The chaos that followed, both inside and outside the court, was clearly orchestrated by someone who used the Xiaotian Decree to eliminate dissidents and seek personal gain.

This conspiracy targeting the Grand Palace Master and Lingxiao Realm likely began more than twenty years ago, on the very day the Demon Kingdom's Crown Prince arrived in Lingxiao City.

Today, we are merely here to reap the fruits of victory.

More than 20 years ago, the Crown Prince of the Demon Kingdom offered such tempting conditions that the Grand Palace Master could not refuse.

The Holy Infant has always been the greatest threat to the Lingxiao Realm. Every time it invades, it causes the loss of at least tens of millions of people. Within the human race, there are also some evil forces that it has cultivated, specifically to collect human infants and supply them to the Holy Infant year-round.

For thousands of years, the Grand Palace Master has ventured into the Netherworld more than a dozen times, attempting to kill it, but all attempts have ended in failure. Instead, this has only provoked the Holy Infant to exact an even more frenzied revenge.

The Grand Palace Master will definitely agree to the condition that the Demon Prince agrees to join forces to kill the Holy Infant, even if he knows that the other party may have ulterior motives.

Killing the Holy Infant was the beginning of everything.

The Demon Prince's aim is to overthrow the Lingxiao Realm, plunder resources, and avenge the Demon Lord.

But why the Second Palace Master?
The Grand Historian roared hoarsely, "Why? Xianmin, why did you betray Lingxiao Palace? Why? Did you kill the Grand Palace Master? Did you cause the war that has plagued the world for over a decade?"

The Second Palace Master's voice was calm: "Senior Sister's cultivation went awry, and she fell into an extreme state of mind from which she could not escape, causing her to make many grave mistakes. This is the root cause of the chaos and war in the world. Lingxiao Palace has made mistakes, and the people of the world have suffered. It has long lost the hearts of the people. It should be destroyed. Only after destruction can true rebirth occur."

"Second Senior Sister?"

The Third Palace Master's eyes were filled with disbelief as he gazed at the increasingly bright Luan Terrace. His mind went blank, and he was attacked by Madam Ye's mental power, causing blood to spill from his mouth.

With her master's return, no matter how difficult the situation, she felt no fear, firmly believing that as long as everyone worked together, they could overcome the difficulties.

Even if we can't save Lingxiao Palace, we can still leave and start over.

But Xianmin's betrayal was like a sword piercing her heart.

The city of Lingxiao below was already in an uproar.

At the foot of Lintai Mountain, Ge Xiantong's face was pale, his eyes gleaming with the light of the sun and moon, filled with both anger and pain. For the past ten years or so, it had been the Second Palace Master who had been teaching him cultivation, their relationship being no less intimate than that of the First Palace Master.

"Why? Did you really harm Master?" Ge Xiantong asked in a trembling voice.

Those assisting in activating the formation, including Princess Yunchang and Xingyue Nu, all felt as if they had lost their souls, their fighting spirit completely gone. This despair was beyond words.

For more than a decade, the Second Palace Master has been the flag bearer of the imperial court.

"What's the point of asking? In her eyes, what are you? The Second Palace Master is probably already the Crown Princess of the Demon Kingdom. The Second Palace Master is going to destroy Lingxiao... Haha, I've resigned myself to my fate. Today I'll be buried in this city." Tai Shiyu said with a bitter smile. The city's protective array and the Nine Heavens Cloud Array were both collapsing, a magnificent sight, as if the nine heavens were collapsing.

Facing a group of detached and smiling eyes, Chan Hai Guan Wu's expression was calmer than anyone else's, but his eyes also revealed reflection, regret, and disappointment.

I had suspected it for a long time, but I couldn't accept it.

When it all happened before her eyes, as her master, she was arguably the one who suffered the most pain and heartache.

Zen Sea Observer muttered to himself, "I shouldn't have allowed Yu Yao to pass on the 'Void Meditation Technique' to you back then."

Zen Sea Viewing the Mist still remembered her master's admonition: the "Emptiness and Darkness Technique" can only be passed on to one person per generation, otherwise great disaster will surely follow.

The unique aspect of the "Void and Darkness Technique" is that when a master dies, they can pass on their cultivation to their disciple. This process continues generation after generation, with each disciple's achievements surpassing those of their master, until they eventually become immortals or ancestors.

This is precisely why Chan Hai Guan Wu was able to directly use the Other Shore Heavenly Pill cultivated by Yu Yao Zi. Of course, it is also because her own martial arts skills were high enough to allow her to master it so quickly.

Therefore, when passing on the "Void and Darkness Technique" and accepting disciples, one must strictly examine their character, otherwise there is a risk of killing the master and seizing the cultivation.

That's why Chan Hai Guan Wu never doubted Yu Yao Zi's character and dared to meet her.

Back then, she took on two disciples at the same time, Yu Yaozi and Xianmin, respectively teaching them the "Void Netherworld Technique" and the "Nine Heavens Secret Treasury." Xianmin was dissatisfied because she felt that her master was biased and that Yu Yaozi had secretly passed on the "Void Netherworld Technique" to her out of pity.

When Chan Hai Guan Wu emerged from seclusion and discovered this, he had several ruthless attempts to cripple Xian Min's cultivation, but he was ultimately moved by her sincerity and kindness in her youth. He felt that with him there, he could keep them in check and prevent the sisters from turning against each other.

But who wasn't genuine and kind when they were young?

There is no such thing as inherent evil or wickedness.

The Second Palace Mistress, clad in a phoenix robe and with her hair as black as clouds, stepped out of the main hall. Her magical energy surged forth in countless rivers, activating the array within the Phoenix Platform. She looked down, her tone still calm: "Master has always been biased. Only Senior Sister is your true disciple; the rest of us are at most nominal disciples."

“Master, you are already dead. Even if you seize Senior Sister’s Other Shore Heaven Pill, you can still immediately possess the combat power you have now.”

"If I were given the Other Shore Heavenly Pill and absorbed all of her cultivation, I would have a chance to fully digest it within a hundred years and reach the realm of Martial Emperor. That is what martial cultivators should truly pursue!"

"I've never really understood something. Cultivators should pursue the ultimate freedom and the ultimate cultivation, so why are you and your senior sister trapped in a mere Lingxiao Realm? Master, are you two here guarding some ancient secret?"

Zen Sea Observer said, "You can't reach the realm of the Martial Arts Emperor. You can't even break through your current realm! If you could, why would you take this evil path?"

"What is evil, and what is good? Master, you have never taught me," the Second Palace Master said.

"I taught you, but you've forgotten!"

Zen Sea Observer said again, "Let me teach you one more time! If your senior sister had absorbed all your cultivation, she would have already broken through to the Heavenly Realm, but she never even considered it. That's the difference between good and evil!"

"Good and evil are not determined by how many people you kill or save, but by whether you can control your desires. Humans are nothing but a bundle of desires!"

The Second Palace Master bowed respectfully: "Thank you for your teachings, Master! Now, I beg you to sacrifice yourself so that I may fulfill my path to becoming the Emperor."

"boom!"

The second supreme magical artifact of Lingxiao Palace, the Thunderstrike Bracelet, after absorbing magical energy from the Heavenly Law Spring at the top of Luantai Mountain, spun and soared into the air, transforming from the size of a bracelet into a giant bracelet with a diameter of over one mile.

"Boom!"

The supreme power erupted, and the lightning released by Lei Jizhuo turned the sky into a sea of ​​lightning tribulation.

The magical energy surged, and the celestial realm of clouds and heaven transformed into a furnace of lightning.

This was once the most treasured artifact of the Thunderclap Sect!

With the imposing presence of the Luan Terrace and the Heavenly Law and Earthly Spring behind her, the Second Palace Master was confident that, wielding the Thunderstrike Spear, she could suppress all enemies below the Martial Emperor. Even if the Martial Emperor himself came, she dared to challenge him.

Zen Sea Mist raised his head, his brows radiating light: "If I hadn't suffered some injuries, you think I wouldn't have dared to show myself, much less be so smug as I am now."

"Wow!"

A powerful surge of mental energy erupted from between her brows, severing the connection between the Second Palace Master and Lei Jizhuo.

Then, Zen Sea Observation Mist reached out from afar and unleashed the Spirit Treasure Robbery, one of the Twelve Scattered Techniques of the Chan Sect. Li Weiyi had used it many times; she had learned it from watching it so many times!
With her cultivation level, she used the Spirit Treasure Seal, which was in accordance with the laws of heaven. A divine hand appeared directly in the space and took away the Thunderstrike Jade.

Zen Sea Mist did indeed perish a thousand years ago, its martial arts cultivation dissipated, but its head remained intact. The mental energy stars in its brow and spiritual realm were merely withered, neither shattered nor completely extinguished.

This is the fundamental reason why she didn't die completely!

With the help of the Fusang Divine Tree in Tanggu Sea, all the psychic stars have been relit. However, they have not yet returned to the level of Emperor Psychic Master. The final step cannot be achieved by relying solely on the Fusang Divine Tree.

In the spirit world, the stars are brilliant.

He was not a master of imperial mind, but his mental power and star power possessed fifty percent of the might of imperial flames.

"Wow!"

The lightning bolt gathered into a size several tens of feet in diameter and hovered above the palm of the Zen Sea Observation Mist.

Her eyes narrowed, and she unleashed a lightning strike. The Thunderstrike was like a divine wheel of heaven and earth, its lightning blazing brightly. It instantly blasted the transcendent member of the Holy Dark Family, who was trying to escape from above, into a cloud of blood mist.
