The Primordial Law

Chapter 435 Border Town Inn
Blood Sludge Space.

Inside the shrine was a square iron box, about one foot in size.

The box contains a page of the Bhagavan Sutra, also known as the Book of Bright Stars and Mornings.

According to the inscriptions on the stone walls of the underground fairy palace, the origin of the "Book of Bright Stars and Morning Stars" is mysterious, originating from a disaster caused by a meteor shower in ancient times.

Amidst the calamities, Bhagavan Buddha rose up, collected fallen stars, analyzed their mysterious energy, and forged the "Book of Bright Stars and Stars".

A star, a page of scripture.

It has 42 pages in total.

The stars may not be real stars.

But it was indeed heavy, and even Tang Wanzhou, who had the cultivation of the Longevity Realm, could not shake it.

Each page of the scripture was written by Bhagavan Buddha with the utmost dedication of his life; the words contain supreme spiritual power and profound meaning.

In the midst of one calamity after another, the forty-two pages of the "Book of Bright Stars and Planets" were lost one after another. The Twin Rice Cult excavated in the underground immortal abode for a thousand years, but only found nine pages, which they called the "Three Thousand Stars Bhagavan".

Without understanding the meaning of the scriptures, Daozu could only glean the essence of this imperial technique.

Li Weiyi believes that what she found should be page ten.

The Daoist school has ancient Sanskrit texts that interpret Bhagavan teachings, which Li Weiyi has also consulted. However, this tenth page, the "Book of Bright Stars and Morning Stars," remains like a celestial script, completely incomprehensible.

For many days, he sat cross-legged in meditation, carefully sensing the luminous power emanating from this page of scripture.

Just like comprehending the "Nine Heavens Secret Treasury," one can perceive the essence of Buddhism while simultaneously absorbing its light directly into the spiritual realm of one's eyebrows.

Within the spirit realm, the spiritual energy primarily composed of the Golden Crow Flame subtly began to change.

Time passed by minute by minute.

White light emanated from Li Weiyi's body, forming a halo, giving her an aura of sacredness and purity.

The reason for thinking of directly absorbing the power of light is that the fragments of the Spirit Platform Flame Star Stone, which can help a mind master break through to a higher realm, are rumored to be as large as a mountain when intact, and may very well be one of the meteorites from outer space.

After consuming the Starry Night Pill, Li Weiyi's mental power has reached the peak of a six-star spiritual master.

Prior to this, a large number of Spirit Platform Flame Star Stone fragments had been refined in an attempt to condense the seventh psychic star.

It ended in failure.

Whether it's martial arts or mental power, the seventh realm is an extremely difficult realm to break through.

The fragments of the Spirit Platform Star Stone must be used sparingly.

Li Weiyi absorbed the power of light from the "Book of Bright Stars and Morning Stars" to see if it would make it easier to break through to the Seven-Star Spiritual Master level. If it really worked, breaking through to the Eight-Star and Nine-Star Spiritual Master levels in the future would naturally be much easier.

"The psychic energy light, primarily composed of the Golden Crow Flame, is incredibly powerful, and its explosive combat strength surpasses that of inheritors at the same level. However, precisely because of its vigorous and masculine attributes, it is difficult to condense into psychic star formations."

"The power of light not only softened the raging flames, but also elevated the purity of the psychic flames to a higher level."

Li Weiyi sensed the changes in the spiritual power within the spirit realm, stopped absorbing the power of light, and closed the iron box.

I plan to absorb the knowledge for a while longer before attempting to become a Seven-Star Spiritual Master again.

Reaching the Seven-Star Spiritual Master level truly grants one immense power and influence; below the Longevity Realm, there are few figures who can still inspire fear in him.

As for the martial arts gains from comprehending the tenth page of the scripture, it was merely that eight luminous scriptures were imprinted on the Divine Lotus.

The entire scripture contains more than four hundred ancient Chinese characters.

Even if you just want to imprint it all, it will take a very long time.

We can only hope that imprinting everything onto Dao Lian will bring about some changes.

Outside, there was a little tyrant. Li Weiyi dared not linger in the Blood Mud Space. The space trembled in circles as he returned to his room in the inn.

The guest rooms are large, divided into two sections, one inside and one outside.

Li Weiyi set up an array in the inner room, not daring to let Yu'er know the secret of the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish.

She is Yu'er now, obedient and well-behaved, but who knows if she will be tomorrow?
Through the array's light barrier, Li Weiyi looked out into the room. In her field of vision, a four- or five-year-old girl with a pure immortal body, dressed in a white dress and with two small braids, sat at the table writing.

This was the task Li Weiyi was given to her in the morning before she began her cultivation.

no way.

He needed to go into seclusion to cultivate and improve his strength, so he couldn't stay with her all the time, nor did he dare to let her out. That's why he found her things to do.

Yu'er is very good at calming down and has already copied a thick stack of scriptures.

From morning until afternoon, the sun was setting in the west.

"Wow!"

Li Weiyi flicked his finger, activating the array's light barrier. He walked over to her and examined the scripture on the table: "Not bad, your handwriting is even better now! Are you hungry? Come on, let's go downstairs and get something to eat."

"Master, let me finish copying this one," Yu'er said.

She learned to write from Li Weiyi.

After waiting for about fifteen minutes, Yu'er put down her pen, rubbed her sore hands, grabbed the edge of the table, and slid off the chair: "Master, let's go!"

She was wearing a pair of cloth shoes embroidered with blue and white flowers.

“Don’t be so silly in the future. I just told you to copy scriptures to pass the time when you have nothing to do, not to copy them all the time.” Li Weiyi explained this way for fear of being purged in the future.

"Ah."

Walking down the stairs, Yu'er pursed her lips, hesitating to speak, then suddenly said, "Actually... Master, I also want to cultivate martial arts. I heard from the shopkeeper that martial arts masters can fly over walls and leap across rooftops, it's amazing!"

“You don’t need to cultivate,” Li Weiyi said.

Yu'er seemed to be deep in thought, then asked again, "Master, you can fly and disappear into the earth now, right? You're even more powerful than a martial arts expert?"

"I'm not good at it."

Li Weiyi quickly denied it.

Yu'er fell silent, no longer speaking, feeling that her master didn't want to teach her.

Arriving at the first floor of the inn, we ordered three dishes.

Seeing that she was sullen, Li Weiyi said, "You are suited to cultivate mental power! Your master can teach you the methods of cultivating mental power."

Yu'er's big, round eyes lit up: "Can you fly over rooftops and walk on walls?"

"of course."

"Can I be as good as Master?"

"I'm not good at it."

……

The inn is located in the bustling center of Huangjiang Border Town. It is a four-story building with four interconnected beams and more than fifty guest rooms. The owner is no ordinary person; his business is very large, and he even receives spirits from the underworld.

The streets outside were much busier than usual, with large groups of people passing by frequently.

The sounds of carriages and horses were incessant.

On the first floor of the inn, there has been a noticeable increase in the number of out-of-town customers dining in.

Their martial arts cultivation was not weak. Some carried magical artifacts, some had world bags hanging from their waists, and Li Weiyi even saw the figure of a martial artist at the Dao Seed Realm.

"It is said that the armies of Zuoqiu Menting and Jiuli tribe have breached Guanshan. However, the Buddha-du bandits of Guanshan have long since retreated into the Netherworld of the Dead, and Xu Fodu escaped faster than anyone else."

"So what if we escape into the Netherworld? Ordinary martial artists will eventually become food for the souls and blood of the dead."

"Old Zhang, didn't you say yesterday that the human army in the southern border suffered heavy losses due to a counterattack by the demon army?"

"That was a false message deliberately spread by the bandits of Guanshan Fodu in order to stabilize morale."

Over the past month, Li Weiyi has heard all sorts of news and has been secretly sorting and summarizing it.

Some of this information can still be confirmed.

For example, "The Nine Li Ancestor Cangming was born, and the strange insects of Lingxiao obeyed his commands, breaking the evil cult's Yin Corpse Rice Planting", "Lingxiao City was destroyed, and millions of people died or were injured within the city", "The flying phoenix cried out, and all demons prostrated themselves"...

Among them, the information about the army of the dead is the most accurate.

Because Huangjiang Border City is near the Southeast Netherworld, which is the territory of the Undead Overlord "Lord Lan," powerful Undead individuals have been fleeing back from the direction of Lingxiao Realm every day during this period.

They traveled at breakneck speed, their auras fluctuating wildly, sometimes transforming into a chilling wind that swept through the land, and sometimes causing the earth to tremble. However, these powerful figures of the dead, who held immense renown in Qingzhou and Guanzhou, were all in a state of panic, lacking the ferocity they had displayed over the past century. They dared not linger in the city and instead fled directly into the depths of the Netherworld.

The defeat of the army of the dead undoubtedly shows that the situation was not as bad as it seemed.

The innkeeper, named Huang Liao, appeared to be in his forties, with a sallow complexion and a cultivation level of the second stage of the Dao Seed Realm. Those who could establish themselves in the border town of Huangjiang all had stories and backgrounds to tell.

Li Weiyi has been staying at the inn for almost a month, and the two sides have interacted many times, each having investigated the other.

Huang Liao sat down at the table and said in a low voice, "Brother Li, I have definite news. The cult is completely finished. Even its headquarters has been breached, and Coffin Mountain no longer exists. A large number of cult remnants and Buddhist traitors have entered the city and are preparing to sail out to sea via the Huangjiang River."

"Go out to sea? Escape to an island, or to another habitat?" Li Weiyi asked.

The Huangjiang River flows through the realm of the dead, a waterway stretching two thousand miles, leading directly to the East China Sea.

The East Sea is a vast inland sea in the southern part of Yingzhou, long and narrow in shape, with a width of tens of thousands of miles. Its length is astonishing, rumored to be over ninety thousand miles, extending into the depths of the underworld.

Normal ships cannot reach the other side of the East China Sea even after sailing for several years.

A thousand years ago, when the Lingxiao habitat occupied three hundred states, human activity extended to the depths of the East China Sea, spanning tens of thousands of miles.

Now, they can only occupy a section of the beach.

The three island barbarian tribes in the eastern border—Huaiyi Island, Baiyi Island, and Jiaoyi Island—are all located within a sea area spanning tens of thousands of miles. Even so, once the naval formation is activated, the imperial army is helpless and utterly unable to annihilate them.

The East Sea is treacherous and vast, teeming with evil spirits, where one may encounter colossal monsters such as dragons, cloud-borne kun, and Xiangliu.

Both sides of the sea are covered by the ghostly realm of the dead, where terrifying beings from the dead frequently appear.

That's why, even though the other side of the sea is said to connect to rainforest habitats, no human dares to take this sea crossing route.

At sea, with no cover, one is easily targeted by wandering spirits and demons.

Land and underground smuggling routes are actually safer. However, it's easy to get lost in the dark.

Huang Liao said, "They must have fled to the island! With their cultivation levels, would they really flee to the rainforest habitat on a large scale? They wouldn't even need the Deathly Fiend Demon to intervene. If they encountered bad weather, a single wave would sweep them all into the sea. The bad weather in the East China Sea is terrifying, especially the Yin Fiend Hurricane, which can even blow away the defensive array's light barrier."

Li Weiyi nodded secretly. The Rice Sect, the Dragon Gate, and the barbarian traitors were indeed in the same boat now.

"Manager Huang has been to sea?" Li Weiyi asked.

Huang Liao laughed and said, "Back then, when I broke through to the Dao Seed realm, I was full of vigor and thought I was the overlord of the human world, able to go anywhere in the world. I went to the East Sea with others to search for the treasures of the dragon clan. As a result, I almost died and survived. I never dared to be arrogant again and honestly opened an inn in Huangjiang Border City."

Li Weicai didn't believe he was honest.

Huangjiang Border Town is no safe place. Anyone who dares to stay here is incredibly audacious; they're risking their lives for business.
