The Primordial Law

Chapter 451 The Decisive Battle Begins Today

Princess Dengfeng didn't deliberately unleash her spiritual power, but even sitting quietly seven zhang away, she exuded an invisible sense of oppression. Yet, it was clearly just a shadow.

She is a top-tier expert below the Longevity Realm.

"I am very grateful to Your Highness for helping me out earlier. I will always remember this favor." Li Weiyi dared not underestimate any of the top young talents, and she responded with sincerity and caution.

She is a prodigy who is groomed to be the future leader of the East China Sea. She has been undergoing trials since childhood.

Princess Dengfeng might be temporarily misled due to her lack of understanding of the Lingxiao habitat, but the other party will surely be able to detect clues from some details.

"You also come from the Du'e Temple?"

Princess Dengfeng's eyes shone brightly as she gazed at Li Weiyi, her tone slightly surprised.

After all, compared to Fu Wenyan's extraordinary appearance, which immediately reveals his celestial physique, Li Weiyi was merely a mortal and didn't have much to offer.

Countless sharp eyes fell on him, but Li Weiyi calmly replied, "I've been cultivating for two years, so I'm not a formal disciple and can't compare to Senior Brother Xie."

"You're being modest! In the demon race, you must never be modest."

Water Beaver Fairy, being very concerned about her reputation, quickly stood up and reported to Princess Lantern Phoenix: "Your Highness, having lived in the deep sea for so long, you are unaware of the situation of the human race in the Lingxiao Realm. Lu Cangsheng is no ordinary person. He is the only genius in the Leixiao Sect in a thousand years to cultivate the Thirty-Six Thunder Strike Array in the Five Seas Realm. With the talent of a mortal, he has caught up with the world's top geniuses."

The Water Beaver Fairy heard this information from the demons below, and thus realized that she had not encountered a Longevity Realm giant from the Thundercloud Sect, but Lu Cangsheng. Therefore, the subsequent duel in the White Desert took place.

Li Wei really wanted to pin the Water Lily Fairy to the ground and beat her up.

Princess Dengfeng must have already become suspicious.

Fu Wenyan sat back down to the right of Princess Dengfeng and said in a gentle and refined manner, "After Junior Brother Lu reached the Dao Seed Realm, he has already cultivated the Seventy-Two Thunder Strike Array. In the Thunder Cloud Sect, only the giants of the Longevity Realm have such means."

Princess Dengfeng's voice was extremely melodious as she recounted, "The Thunderclap Sect was once the master of the Lingxiao Realm, and half of the East Sea was once under its influence. Even after its decline, it still possessed top-tier lineages. May I ask, Young Master Lu, why have you pledged allegiance to my East Sea demon race?"

Li Weiyi had anticipated that Princess Dengfeng would ask such a question, and replied, "There are two reasons. First, although the battle in Lingxiao Realm drove out the foreign enemies and quelled the great calamity of the Yin Corpse Rice Planting, we ourselves were also greatly weakened, and the future of the human race is truly uncertain."

"The Ashlands of the Far West and the Demon Kingdom will not let this go."

"Although the Southeastern Netherworld has collapsed, the Northern Netherworld is even more powerful."

"Now, another powerful figure from the Inamori Palace has arrived, intending to interfere. It is foreseeable that in the near future, the former territory of Lord Lan in the thirty-one states of the Southeast Netherworld may become the territory of the Inamori Palace."

"The Lingxiao Realm is surrounded by powerful enemies, as if facing an abyss. Only the East Sea Demon Clan has remained neutral. How could the Leixiao Sect not make plans in advance and think of an escape route?"

"Secondly, Lu came for the leaves and bark of the Phoenix Blood Tree."

"Honest enough."

Princess Dengfeng's figure was blurry, as if a gust of wind could blow her away. She smiled and said, "The Rice Palace is indeed a behemoth, dominating the south of Yingzhou, and together with ancient sects such as the Crossing the Calamity Temple, it holds sway over the hundred realms of life. But the Mist Emperor of the Lingxiao Human Race has returned. As long as she has not fallen, all sides will be wary. Moreover, in the battle of Lingxiao City, Yu Yaozi did not show herself from beginning to end, hiding in the darkness."

"The Misty Emperor and she coexist in the world, one in the light and one in the shadows. Who would dare to make a rash move? So, you don't need to worry too much."

Viewing the fog in the sea of ​​Zen is not scary, but a Zen practitioner who is not afraid of death is scary.

Yu Yaozi is not scary, but Yu Yaozi lurking in the unknown is scary.

Li Weiyi sighed inwardly and said sincerely, "Her Highness the Princess is the most sincere leader! She did not take this opportunity to intimidate or threaten, but told the truth."

Princess Dengfeng said, "Because I have always understood one principle: a true top genius will never be content to be subordinate to others. If you try to forcibly subdue him, you will only make enemies for yourself."

"This princess only accepts outstanding talents who sincerely pledge their allegiance; the rest can be befriended. If sincerity cannot be exchanged for friendship, but instead involves deception and exploitation, then I will eliminate them. Are you truly Lu Cangsheng of the Thunderclap Sect?"

The threat is very strong.

"Boom!"

Li Weiyi formed hand seals and released seventy-two lightning strikes.

Seventy-two bolts of lightning surrounded him, and his entire aura suddenly changed.

Thunder magic is a cultivation method with extremely powerful offensive capabilities, which is feared by any demon race or evil spirit.

Fu Wenyan was moved and carefully observed Li Weiyi at the center of the lightning, feeling very puzzled. For a moment, he thought of many legends about him, such as "Purple Cloud Thunder Seal", "Seven Monarch-level Strange Insects", and "Seven-Clawed Heavenly Dragon Dao Heart External Manifestation".

Now, there is also the "Seventy-Two Thunder Strike Array".

Fu Wenyan was certain that Li Weiyi's true secret had not yet been uncovered, and he couldn't help but have some thoughts about it.

The current generation of true disciples of the Du'e Temple will only be determined upon reaching the Longevity Realm, and there are about ten qualified individuals vying for the position. If he can seize Li Weiyi's opportunity, his chances of becoming a true disciple will greatly increase.

Li Weiyi put away the Seventy-Two Thunder Strike Array and took out a token belonging to a disciple of the Thunderclap Sect.

It was taken from Qin Qian and the other two outside Lei Thirty-Six Tombs.

After use, the token must be stored back in the Blood Mud Space.

Princess Dengfeng believed most of it: "The higher-ups of your Leixiao Sect have long had connections with my clan. You will work under my command and conquer the old Yuzhou city. You will receive a share of the Phoenix Blood Tree resources needed for the Longevity Body cultivation. Everyone present will also receive a share."

"Long live the princess! Transcendence is just around the corner."

The demons shouted in unison.

With Princess Dengfeng's cultivation foundation, she could break through to the Longevity Realm at any time, and then transcend the mortal world to roam freely.

He didn't break through to the next realm; he simply wanted to accumulate more strength in the Dao Seed Realm to lay a solid foundation for breaking the Immortal Lock within his body in the future. Then, in the Immortal Realm, he could advance with unstoppable momentum.

……

Half an hour later.

Prince Baba, Water Lixian, and Li Weiyi left the venue and headed west towards the lake camp.

There are will-o'-the-wisps flickering there.

Taking the opportunity, Li Weiyi asked, "There must be a spirit of the Longevity Realm guarding the old Yuzhou city. Isn't it too dangerous for the East Sea demons to only send their younger generation to attack?"

“There are duels among those who are in the Longevity Realm.” Prince Baba said very little.

Water Beaver Fairy walked at the front, laughing loudly: "Lord Lan is dead, Lord Chifeng is filled with resentment, and all the ghost lords and marquises in the old Yuzhou city are filled with sorrow. The highly respected figures of the East Sea demon race have already challenged them to a duel outside the city, giving them the opportunity to fight against each other at the same level."

"As long as they can defeat an opponent of the same level, they can live. Otherwise, when the city falls, they will all be killed and refined into soul pills."

Li Weiyi suddenly realized: "What a brilliant move! Decisive action before the battle begins! What a brilliant move! When surrounding an enemy, leave an opening!"

"It can both lure the immortal giants among the dead out of the city in advance, creating an opportunity for the younger generation to train, and give the enemy a chance to survive, thereby breaking their will to fight to the death in one fell swoop."

"In this way, the price paid by the East Sea demon race will be much smaller." The powerful spirits of the dead almost all grow by devouring others. They bear virtually no responsibility and often scatter when the tree falls. Self-preservation is their top priority.

To the west of the lake camp lies a hill of rotting bones, reeking of decay, eerie and terrifying.

In the mountains, clusters of will-o'-the-wisps flickered.

These skeletons are of high quality and very strong. Some were collected and piled up here by the demon army as they slaughtered their way through the land.

Some were dug out from secret locations, intended to be brought back to the East China Sea after the war to feed certain special species of fish demons.

Princess Dengfeng heard that Li Weiyi was proficient in puppetry, so she had Prince Baba and the Water Fox Fairy bring him here.

The skeletons here were mostly at the Dao Seed Realm level when they were alive, having cultivated their physical bodies. Their bones had a slight golden tinge, indicating they were Lesser Completion Golden Bones.

Li Weiyi selected a python skeleton that was over forty meters long.

The bones are golden-gray and extremely strong.

Before his death, his physical body had already cultivated to the strength of a 45-year-old living being.

Li Weiyi stood before the giant python skull, which was even larger than his own body. He used the spiritual light from his brow and fingers as a brush to write the character "临" on the skull.

"Wow—"

The spiritual energy, centered on the character "临" (Lin), rapidly spread throughout the entire skeleton.

The over forty-meter-long python skeleton came to life, emitting cracking sounds and low, eerie growls. The power within the skeleton was unleashed, causing it to spiral upwards and, with a deafening roar, whip dozens of skeletons away, shattering them into pieces.

Prince Baba, who had previously shown no interest in Li Weiyi's puppetry, was startled and jumped to his feet as if electrocuted: "Lu Cangsheng, your puppetry is quite something! A single corpse can unleash combat power comparable to a Dao Seed Realm martial artist. How many can you control at once?"

"I haven't tried extreme control," Li Weiyi said.

Prince Baba said, "Then give it a try. Use the bones here as you please. Cousin, you've really struck gold this time!"

"That's natural."

The Water Civet Fairy puffed out her chest and said proudly.

"If we had the remains of someone at the Longevity Realm, our combat power would probably be even greater." Li Weiyi kept thinking about how to find the Bone Marrow Essence.

Prince Baba said, "The corpses of those at the Longevity Realm level are all valuable treasures, and they can be obtained. They are with Her Highness the Princess. After the battle in the old Yuzhou city, my brothers and I will help you get a few."

On the dark hills in the distance, Princess Dengfeng, like an invisible and intangible shadow, gazed at the location of the Hill of Corpses.

Only after seeing the giant python skeleton fly up did her humanoid shadow disappear.

In fact, Li Weiyi was not proficient in puppetry.

He only knows one ancient Chinese character, “临”.

So for the next few days, he spent all his time in the Hill of Bones, studying puppetry texts and refining puppets.

It can be described as learning by doing.

Yu'er stayed by his side.

Li Weiyi felt a sense of crisis, realizing that the enemies surrounding Lingxiao Realm were probably all searching for her. Once her whereabouts were exposed, who knew what terrifying old monsters she might attract.

Li Weiyi had always considered Yu'er his greatest asset, but now it seemed he had to protect and hide her carefully. Until his memories and powers returned.

During this time, Li Weiyi passed on the moves of the Twelve Scattered Hands of the Chan Sect to her.

As long as you don't cultivate mental power or practice internal energy, you should be quite safe.

"Dao Fruit, or Yin Corpse Dao Fruit, and Blood Crystal are important sources of power for refining corpse puppets."

"There are actually more than a dozen categories of puppet script, each of which is all-encompassing."

……

Li Weiyi did not use his own blood, but instead used a method from a puppetry manual to have the two Yangs make ink.

Then, he began to draw puppet runes on one skeleton after another. Using spiritual flames, he refined the puppet runes into the bones.

The focus was on refining the immortal corpse stored in the boundary bag, just in case.

Besides her daily study and martial arts practice, Yu'er spent her time learning from him, her thirst for knowledge boundless. She would often sit alone amidst the pile of bones, practicing her movements. With Li Weiyi by her side, she wasn't so afraid of the terrifying environment.

Li Weiyi couldn't find a reason to forbid her from learning, since she couldn't mobilize the spiritual power in the spirit world anyway, so learning it wouldn't be of any use.

The fourth day at the lake camp.

"boom!"

"Boom!"

……

Eighty miles away, in the old city of Yuzhou, a bright white light emanated.

The deep, resounding roar and the powerful fluctuations of the magical artifact startled all the demon creatures within the lake camp.

They released their demonic energy, took flight, and converged in a certain direction.

"Leaders of all tribes in the East Sea, immediately gather your experts and accompany this princess to the old city of Yuzhou. The decisive battle begins today."

Princess Dengfeng's melodious voice resounded for dozens of miles around, clearly reaching everyone's ears, demonstrating a level of control over magical energy that even martial artists at the Dao Seed Realm did not possess.

Fifteen minutes later, a dark crack hundreds of meters long was torn open in the earth.

Princess Dengfeng's true form flew out of the abyss, transforming into a dazzling jellyfish cloud. Leading seventeen powerful demon beings, she rode the clouds and mist, transforming into eighteen bright rays of light, and disappeared into the horizon in the direction of the old Yuzhou city.

Those demonic beings were all extraordinary. Some had bodies as large as mountains, like a whale. Others were in the form of plants, like seaweed hundreds of meters long, shrouded in dense scriptures.

Li Weiyi stared intently, watching them drift away.

Water Lily Fairy and Prince Baba walked one after the other, cursing under their breath, toward the bone hill where Li Weiyi was.

Water Lily Fairy was full of resentment and her face was full of anger. She scolded Baba Prince who was walking in front: "What kind of bullshit sixth expert are you? You can't even get the main attack mission. Everyone else is fighting fiercely in the state city, but we are sitting on the sidelines outside."
