The Primordial Law

Chapter 473 The Northern Young Master and the Southern God in Seclusion
"I knew something was wrong, and it's true. Neither the Zuoqiu Clan nor the Jiuli Clan had any experts below the Longevity Realm. Why is the Jiuli Hermit attending the banquet in such a high-profile manner? It's too abrupt!"

Tuoba Butuo gritted his teeth in hatred, leading the way with great urgency, as if he wanted to tear the fake Li Weiyi to shreds. At the same time, he was also very worried that the young lord would be deceived, and his heart was filled with anxiety.

I've never seen such an audacious swindler.

Li Weiyi asked, "Why is he being so high-profile?"

"Yao Yin, the disciple of the abbot of Du'e Temple, was promoted and hyped by the younger generation of martial artists of the Jiuli tribe as the Holy Maiden Yao. With the cultivation of the third level, she crossed the great realm and defeated Ku Di, who was at the fourth level. Her talent and combat power shocked the world."

"There is also a legend that the Holy Maiden Yao and Bai Yeqing from the Ash Region of the Far West are half-siblings. It can be said that she is now the focus of the world's attention."

Tuoba Butuo continued, spitting as he spoke, "That imposter, traveling with the Holy Maiden Yao, attracted the attention of all the martial arts practitioners when he boarded the ship. Isn't that high-profile? He was definitely doing it on purpose. What was he planning to do?"

Tuoba Butuo, as the inheritor, was naturally intelligent and instantly realized that the fake Li Weiyi was an unwelcome guest who had come to the banquet to cause trouble.

Even if he doesn't cause trouble, the names "Li Weiyi" and "Yaoyin" alone are enough to attract many enemies.

"Young Master Tuoba."

"The Successor!"

……

The three of them, two adults and one child, climbed up to the upper deck of the ship. The younger generation of martial arts practitioners from the Northern Territory bowed to Tuoba Butuo.

"Half-siblings, who would release such a rumor?"

Li Weiyi felt that this matter was unusual and sensed a conspiracy.

Logically speaking, even if Yao Yin and Bai Yeqing were half-siblings, the Western demons and the Jiuli tribe would definitely cover up the truth rather than deliberately spread it.

Who else is in the know and could benefit from this?

Li Weiyi was very worried that Yao Yin would be affected by this matter. After climbing to the fifth floor of the ship, he quickly saw the figures of the fake Li Weiyi and Yao Yin. He transmitted his voice to Tuoba Butuo: "Leave the rest to me. Don't expose him yet."

"Alright, I'll go and inform the young lord first."

Tuoba Butuo's eyes were cold and fierce as he walked towards the sixth floor of the ship.

The sixth level is the highest level of the Tianya Ship, where the leaders of the Longevity Realm from various forces in the Lingxiao Realm hold their meetings. It is shrouded in several layers of array light.

The fifth level is only accessible to those who have cultivated to the Dao Fruit stage or are top geniuses from various powerful forces.

Each of them was a prominent figure in the Lingxiao Realm, and most of them knew each other well, gathering in groups of three or five to discuss matters in secret.

The world situation is more complex and unpredictable than ever before, and everyone feels a sense of crisis.

Every seat was empty; people talked more than they ate.

Li Weiyi and Yu'er sat down at a dining table about ten feet away from the fake Li Weiyi and Yao Yin, separated by two or three other tables. The table was located in a rather secluded aisle next to the cabin.

Today the weather is fine and sunny, with a wide view. The seawater is like a deep blue mirror, and the entire Moon Dragon Island mirage is on full display.

The dishes on the table were of excellent quality, with a wonderfully fragrant aroma.

Yu'er looked on with longing, but wearing a mask made it inconvenient for her to eat.

Li Weiyi said in a low voice, "We came here just to have a good meal. Eat as much as you want, just don't show your face."

"Okay, Master."

Yu'er reached out from the dining table, grabbed a fragrant crystal grape, peeled off the smiling Buddha mask a little, quickly popped it into her mouth, then put the mask back on. Her eyes darted around, searching for her next target on the table.

Li Weiyi channeled his magical power into his ears.

Ten feet away, the fake Li Weiyi and Yao Yin chatted with smiles: "I heard that my breaking of the Dao image has displeased many of the proud sons of the Du'e Temple? I hope it hasn't caused you any trouble?"

"Ignore them! Anyone who's unhappy will have to get past me first."

Yao Yin wore a veil, her body shrouded in mist, making her extremely beautiful and captivating. Her skin was as if sculpted from celestial jade, and her eyes contained the spiritual energy of the Great Dao.

The fake Li Weiyi next to her had the same spirit and demeanor as the real Li Weiyi, with a handsome appearance and outstanding temperament. However, compared to her, it was like a mortal warrior and a celestial fairy.

Not only Li Weiyi, but everyone present, including those with pure immortal bodies, paled in comparison.

Fake Li Weiyi sighed: "I know that rumor circulating in the market on Moon Dragon Island must have upset you. What if you stay locked in your room and suffer a qi deviation during cultivation? In Taoism, the most important thing is one's state of mind."

"So even if it risks revealing our whereabouts, I must bring you out to relax."

"We've come here for no other reason than to have a good meal and sweep away all our unhappiness. Such a lively scene is a once-in-a-century event."

Yao Yin responded softly, but a lingering melancholy remained in his eyes.

The state of mind of "pure and true self" was affected.

Given her current condition, she would surely lose if she were to fight Kudi again.

Ultimately, she was only eighteen years old, and her mindset had not yet been tempered by time.

“Brother Weiyi, it’s been so long since we parted ways in Lingxiao Realm that we never expected to meet again, only to be so far away in the East Sea. These past few months, everyone has been searching for you in the Netherworld, and we were all very worried about your safety.”

Tai Shi Yu, Tai Shi Bai, Ge Xian Tong, Xing Yue Nu, Song Lin, Song Qing Li, and other young powerhouses within the sixty-year cycle of the imperial court gathered around the dining table where the fake Li Weiyi and Yao Yin were.

Some were dashing and heroic, others beautiful and ethereal, their laughter never ceasing as they regarded Li Weiyi as an important old friend. The fake Li Weiyi immediately stood up, cupped his hands, and said, "Thank you all for your concern! After surviving the calamity of Lingxiao City, being able to gather together again is the greatest joy in life."

Tai Shi Bai and Ge Xian Tong exchanged strange glances, wanting to ask Li Weiyi about the Mist Emperor, but knowing the occasion was inappropriate, they tried their best to restrain themselves.

Tai Shiyu chuckled, "You've got some nerve, taking the Holy Maiden of Yao around for fun. Aren't you afraid that Zuoqiu Men's fiancée will come after you?"

"Zuoqiu Hongting isn't some kind of undead demon, so why should I be afraid of her? But I certainly have the necessary respect for her, and I would never let my fiancée lose face," the fake Li Weiyi said with a smile.

“I’ve heard that the Holy Maiden Yao has many suitors at the Du’e Temple. Brother Wei, although your cultivation is not bad, your jealousy is enough to start a prairie fire. Be careful, be very careful.” Taishi Bai’s tone was serious, with a hidden meaning.

The fake Li Weiyi smiled frankly: "I have no father or mother, no relatives or friends, and I have always regarded Yaoyin as my own sister. If they want to misunderstand or be jealous, there's nothing I can do about it. Right, Yaoyin?"

Yao Yin stared at him, unsure how to respond.

Soon, they began to talk about serious matters.

Ge Xiantong asked, "Brother Weiyi, what exactly is the Six-Clawed Immortal Dragon's Qi? There are many conflicting opinions, and it's hard to tell what's true and what's false."

The fake Li Weiyi said solemnly, "I heard that although the excavation of the ancient immortal dragon's remains has not yet begun, some of the most courageous young people have already gone there to seek opportunities."

"We can already obtain opportunities now?" Xingyuenu asked.

The fake Li Weiyi nodded: "The aura of the Six-Clawed Immortal Dragon is constantly dissipating, and other precious medicines and rare treasures are also being produced. I heard that Luan Shenglin went there when he was young, and after absorbing the aura of the Six-Clawed Immortal Dragon, he has already broken through to the seventh level. The speed at which he improved his realm is simply terrifying."

The entire deck erupted in an uproar.

“Luan Sheng Lin You’s grandfather was the Martial Arts Emperor Fei Long, whose bloodline was special.”

Someone said, "It is said that a great immortal from the Du'e Temple collected some of the six-clawed immortal dragon's energy from there and gave it to the dragon seed martial cultivators and deformed human martial cultivators in the Dao Seed Realm to absorb, and their cultivation levels increased greatly."

"Everyone must be rational! Luan Shenglin dared to go because he followed the Underworld Dragon King. The Underworld Dragon King was his grandfather's former subordinate and had a very close relationship with his father, Qilin Zang."

"That's right. Right now, there are many powerful people gathered there, and they are making preparations for the excavation in full swing. If an ordinary junior dares to go, he will die in the belly of a dragon if he encounters one."

"This hasn't even started excavation yet; it's just some dragon energy that's been released. When the excavation actually begins, the six-clawed immortal dragon's energy will surely explode, and the cultivation levels of dragon-type martial artists and deformed human-type martial artists will surely rise to the heavens."

"The closer you are to the excavation site, the more dragon energy you can absorb. If you stay on the outer edge, you won't even see a trace of dragon energy."

"They can absorb all the dragon energy?"

"If it can't be absorbed, it will be collected by an object and won't be left for us."

"The reason we're holding this banquet today is to unite the forces of the entire Lingxiao Realm and strive to achieve something amidst the chaos between the Rice Palace, the Crossing Tribulation Temple, and the Demon Clan."

……

Li Weiyi felt strange; this fake Li Weiyi was just like the real one.

Watching him chat and laugh there, I felt like I was looking in a mirror.

"He's really something else; he even knows the details of where the ancient immortal dragon's remains were excavated." Li Weiyi smiled, picked up his wine glass, and drank it all in one gulp.

While Luan Shenglin was at the excavation site of the ancient immortal dragon's remains, the young and powerful demons, including the Nether Dragon Prince, were in the Moon Dragon Island market. This was because the aura of the six-clawed immortal dragon currently emanating from the area was extremely thin, and its effect was negligible given the cultivation levels of the Nether Dragon Prince and the other demons.

There's no need to take the risk.

At this stage, if any abnormal situation occurs at the excavation site, even a martial artist at the Dao Seed Realm will be reduced to ashes, with no time to escape or be rescued.

"My name is Chang Jian, and this is my younger sister, Chang Xiaoyu, from the Du'e Temple. May we sit here?"

A young man dressed in martial arts attire appeared at the table where Li Weiyi and Yu'er were sitting. He was all smiles and bowed with his hands clasped in greeting, but his straight back revealed the arrogance in his bones.

It is a pure immortal body.

His hair had a slight purple tinge, and his features were well-defined, with eyebrows and nose that looked as if they had been carved by a knife and axe.

The woman next to him, named Chang Xiaoyu, had an extremely beautiful figure. She wore a Taoist robe with cloud patterns, and the scent of wood filled the air. Her face was covered by a veil, so her appearance could not be seen.

Behind the two were six young talents, each with an impressive presence and high spirits.

Some of them stared at Li Weiyi with sharp eyes, as if they wanted to drive him away.

"Please."

Li Weiyi remained completely unaffected, calm and composed: "Disciples of the Du'e Temple have also come to attend the general's banquet in the Lingxiao Realm?"

Chang Jian sat down next to Li Weiyi, a look of surprise in his eyes.

If it were any other martial arts practitioner, they would have been intimidated by the gaze of the person behind him, or would have shown signs of unease and awkwardness.

Chang Jianping smiled and said, "I've long heard that the younger generation of Lingxiao Realm is full of hidden talents and has produced many amazing geniuses. I came here to join in the fun and broaden my horizons."

“Young Master Chang is too kind. Lingxiao Realm is just a shallow pool,” Li Weiyi said.

Chang Jian waved his hand: "That's not right. Just the ten people who went to Du'e Temple to cultivate, any one of them is exceptionally talented and caused a sensation in the temple. I heard that they are not even the most amazing people in the Lingxiao Realm."

"The most stunning one is Bei Shaojun Nan Shenyin."
