The Primordial Law

Chapter 469 Innate Dao Spirit
Although the East China Sea is an inland sea, it is vast and mysterious, stretching over 90,000 li from south to north, and is known as the "Ten Thousand Li Lake".

Furthermore, by flowing into the thirty-six major rivers within it, it can exert influence on the surrounding land. For example, the Huangjiang River system is one of the thirty-six river demons, and it follows the lead of the East Sea demons.

Such a vast demon race possessed abundant marine resources, endless treasures, and riches. Ten thousand years ago, when Yu Jia was alive, the East Sea reached its zenith, commanding humans, demons, and the dead in the southern part of Yingzhou, none daring to disobey.

Embarrassingly, after Feilong was killed by Chanhai Guanwu three thousand years ago, no demon emperor or demon queen was ever born in the East Sea again.

Internal strife among various tribes has eroded the region's former glory.

Until recently, in the last few centuries, powerful beings emerged from both the jellyfish clan and the dragon clan, whose strength far surpassed that of ordinary beings. They subdued all sides, thus ending the internal strife and unifying the north and south of the sea respectively.

The Jiao Clan is a branch of the Dragon Clan, ruling over all the Jiao Pythons and Jiao Dragons in the East Sea, as well as all aquatic monsters that have transformed into dragons.

They can be considered the first noble family.

They were incredibly powerful; any one of them was comparable to a human being at the Longevity Realm. Therefore, the Jiaolong clan could easily subdue all sides and dominate the world with their overwhelming strength.

What Li Weiyi and An Xianjing encountered on the boat was an extremely powerful dragon-like python.

The jellyfish clan, however, takes a different approach. Since their clan is weaker than the dragon clan, they unite with various aquatic species and try to incorporate as many land-dwelling river demons as possible.

Most of the thirty-six river demons submitted to him.

The rest were mainly within the sphere of influence of the Jiaolong clan, suppressed by their hegemony. Otherwise, they would all have to submit to the jellyfish clan, whose methods were more lenient.

At this moment, on the water a hundred feet away, the lights reflected the scene. Princess Lantern Phoenix and Prince Nether Dragon, who had been fighting to the death, had both solidified into human figures and were standing on the deck, chatting and laughing happily, showing no trace of their past conflicts.

Princess Dengfeng remained a humanoid phantom, her white robes fluttering, her black hair swaying, graceful and beautiful as a painting.

The Nether Dragon Prince was clad in black armor, stood eight feet tall, and possessed a majestic physique. He had a pair of dragon ears, and his eyes were like torches. His breathing stirred up the wind and clouds in the sky. His body, forged from divine iron, gave people an unparalleled sense of power.

With just a glance from afar, Li Weiyi could determine that the Nether Dragon Prince's physical body had been cultivated to at least the level of a seven- or eight-tenths mature body. It might even be higher.

The Jiaolong race has an inherent advantage in physical cultivation.

Moreover, given his status, he wouldn't lack any top-tier body-refining resources.

He was the strongest expert below the Longevity Realm, attracting countless admiring and fearful gazes from the shore. Some lesser demons even knelt in worship across the water.

Human martial arts practitioners instinctively retreated and quickly moved away.

Standing with Princess Lantern Phoenix and Prince Dark Dragon was a handsome young man, dressed in simple clothes and with a refined demeanor. His face was obscured by clouds and mist.

He glanced into the mirage, and instantly, an invisible chill spread over him.

"Chichi."

A layer of white frost had formed on all the stalls.

Li Weiyi knew perfectly well that the other party could never possibly notice him. But there was just a strange feeling that he was being watched.

In the mirage, all living beings shared the same feeling. They felt a chill run down their spines, and some were so frightened that they packed up and left.

"What terrifying cultivation level, the Longevity Realm of the demon race?" Li Weiyi said.

The hippo demon beside him shook his head slightly: "If it were the Longevity Realm, Princess Lantern Phoenix and Prince Nether Dragon wouldn't be the ones to receive you. This is the Eye of Ice Soul... Sigh, if you want to know the information, you have to pay money to buy it."

Upon hearing the words "Ice Soul," Li Weiyi's curiosity was piqued: "How much does it cost?"

“For news from below the Longevity Realm, one question costs 100,000 Yongquan coins,” the hippo demon said.

"Goodbye."

Li Wei knew to inquire about it.

The hippopotamus demon grabbed him: "Don't rush! For a quality buyer like you, I can send you three messages for free. Next time you need to do business, remember to contact Master Ma."

"Master Ma is very discerning. If you do business this way, you'll surpass Qianli Mountain sooner or later."

Li Weiyi, also adept at changing his expression, revealed a look of newfound respect and then asked with a smile, "What is the meaning of 'Eyes of Ice Soul'?"

"This is one of the innate magical arts of the White Phoenix among the Five Phoenixes! Of course, the Red, Blue, and Purple Phoenixes are dead, and now only the White Gold Phoenixes remain," said the hippopotamus demon.

Li Weiyi asked, "Doesn't that mean that the young man is a descendant of Bai Luan?"

"Bai Yeqing, son of Bai Luan, is exceptionally talented. He was born with all his acupoints open, and thereafter he opened one sea every month, and five seas every five months. By the time he was one year old, he had already reached the cultivation level of the Dao Seed Realm and was known as the Innate Dao Spirit."

Li Weiyi was dumbfounded, never expecting such an extraordinary being to exist in the world. He asked, "What is a Primordial Dao Spirit?"

"The embodiment of the Great Dao's spiritual essence is forged by the supreme foundation of heaven and earth, requiring no arduous effort from breaking through springs and opening seas. However, it is not entirely due to the efforts of heaven and earth." The hippopotamus demon paused here.

Li Weiyi asked, "Then what is the reason?"

“This is the fourth question!” the hippopotamus demon said.

Li Weiyi paused for a moment, gritted her teeth to suppress her curiosity, and turned to leave.

"% off."

The hippopotamus demon grabbed Li Wei's boat.

Li Weiyi urged, "Set sail, set sail."

“One fold,” the hippopotamus demon said.

Li Wei hesitated. Now that he was rich and powerful, ten thousand Yongquan coins were nothing to him.

"Half price, let's be friends," the hippo demon said.

Li Weiyi took out five thousand Yongquan coins, moved them back and forth several times, and finally handed them over with a heavy heart.

If it weren't for the fact that Bai Yeqing's "Ice Soul Eyes" reminded him of Yao Yin's "Jade Shattered Ice Soul Body," he would never have wasted this money.

After receiving the money, the hippopotamus demon was overjoyed and said with a beaming smile, "Bai Yeqing's father is Bai Luan. His mother's background is even more impressive. His ability to possess innate Dao spirit is also related to the sacrifices his mother made when she conceived him." "You should know that powerful beings, especially those from the mother's side, are like a piece of flesh that fell from their own body, nurtured by their own blood and energy."

"For example, the child born to a transcendent mother has a physical body nurtured by transcendent blood and energy, and a soul cultivated by transcendent spiritual attainment. How can the child born to an ordinary being compare?"

Li Weiyi nodded thoughtfully: "The strength of a fetus containing transcendent blood is unimaginable. The strength of its soul is simply frightening."

"Therefore, being born into a good family is more important than any talent."

The hippopotamus demon changed the subject: "Of course, childbirth takes a huge toll on a mother's blood and energy and cultivation. Therefore, men often have many children, while women often have very few offspring."

The hippopotamus demon stared intently at Li Weiyi.

Li Weiyi understood perfectly well what it was waiting for.

He was indeed somewhat curious about Bai Yeqing's mother, but wouldn't spending money to buy her be falling into a trap she deliberately set?

He asked, "The fifth question, what's the price?"

The hippopotamus demon was overjoyed: "One discount, ten thousand Yongquan coins."

As expected, it's getting more and more expensive.

Li Weiyi took out ten thousand Yongquan coins and handed them over, staring at the magical artifact ship in the distance, and asked the question that had been bothering him: "Bai Yeqing's cultivation is extremely high, and his background is so great. The Nether Dragon Prince came to greet him in his true form, which shows how much he values ​​him. Why did Princess Dengfeng only come in a human form?"

They are all leaders of the younger generation; the other two are their real selves, while she came in a clone.

It's clear they don't take it seriously enough; it's just a formality to show their attitude.

“This problem involves more than ten thousand Yongquan coins,” the hippo demon said.

Li Weiyi asked, "What's the most important thing in doing business?"

The hippopotamus demon slapped his forehead and sighed, realizing that he had been tricked instead of caught in the trap: "I admit it, I'll still make some money. The Western demons were invited by the Jiaolong clan, and the two sides have always had a good relationship, dating back to the Yu Jia era."

"The Jiao Clan is extremely keen on excavating the remains of the ancient immortal dragon, because the Nether Jiao King may take this opportunity to break through the final realm and transform into the Nether Dragon Demon Emperor."

"This is the last thing the jellyfish clan wants to see!"

“High-level competition will naturally affect the younger generation.”

"But in the competition among the younger generation, the demon race must cooperate with all three parties to contend with the Rice Palace and the Crossing the Calamity Temple and gain more benefits. This is why Princess Lantern Phoenix is ​​so conflicted!"

Li Weiyi suddenly realized that the news was well worth the investment.

Without a thorough understanding of the cooperation and competition within the demon race, it's impossible to see things clearly.

More importantly, the Nether Flood Dragon King's cultivation level is already very close to that of the Martial Emperor.
If this news is true, the price will skyrocket!

It doesn't matter if they're real or fake, it's just ten thousand Yongquan coins anyway.

"Is it worth it? When Master Ma does business, he believes in win-win situations."

The hippopotamus demon then asked, "Are you interested in the upcoming opportunity involving the remains of an ancient immortal dragon?"

"What do you mean?" Li Weiyi asked curiously.

The hippopotamus demon said, "Buy a spot! The closer to the front, the more Six-Clawed Immortal Dragon Qi you can absorb, the greater the chance of obtaining an opportunity, and it's safer too."

"Your strength below the Longevity Realm in the Lingxiao Realm is too weak. There isn't a single person who can stand on their own. You can only follow behind the Du'e Temple. What can you absorb? You probably won't get anything at all."

"Moreover, only martial artists from the Zuoqiu Sect can follow behind the Du'e Temple. Martial artists from other forces have to be ranked further back."

"After the Jiaolong clan lured the Western demons here, the Du'e Temple has become the weakest party among those below the Longevity Realm in the three-way power struggle. They themselves may not even be able to reach the forefront."

After the Demon Child breaks through to immortality, it remains to be seen whether the Crossing Calamity Temple, at the ninth level of the Dao Seed Realm, has anyone capable of contending with the two true disciples of the Rice Palace and the three leaders of the demon race.

Li Weiyi asked, "Is this location still available for purchase?"

The hippopotamus demon lowered his voice: "To be honest, I have two grand-nephews, each a top-tier powerhouse among the younger generation, ranking in the top ten...top five under Princess Lantern Phoenix's command. Traveling with them will definitely put us at the forefront. Limited spots available, highest bidder wins. This is the price!"

It moved closer to Li Weiyi and secretly extended two fingers.

"Two million Yongquan coins?"

Li Weiyi tried to guess as high a level as possible.

The hippopotamus demon rolled its eyes at him: "Twenty million Spring Coins! This is a chance to break through to the Longevity Realm. Those old guys whose lifespans are about to end will go bankrupt to buy a spot."

Li Weiyi gasped. This business opportunity had even tempted him. He wished he could immediately break through to the ninth level of cultivation and sell escort slots as well.

Sure enough, killing didn't make him any money.

Moreover, the money they earn is from a conscience—money earned to help those in need.

"Master Ma, how are the medicines we entrusted to you selling?" The Water Lily Fairy's voice drifted from the river.

The hippopotamus demon pointed to the water beaver fairy and Prince Baba on the distant boat and immediately introduced them: "Look, those are my two grand-nephews, both of them are dragons and phoenixes among demons, the red demons beside Princess Lantern Phoenix."

The boat, leaving ripples in its wake, slowly approached the stall from a distance of about twenty feet.

Waterfowl Fairy and Prince Baba both stood at the bow of the boat.

A beaver, a capybara.

“Ali, Baba, and Master Ma.”

Li Weiyi took another deep breath. This business team looked very reliable, and even he couldn't help but want to invest some money in them.
