The Primordial Law

Chapter 482 Qu Ru
Wu Hongling would never believe him.

She witnessed that battle. It was clearly this guy who feigned weakness to lure Huoxin to the bottom of the sea, and then unexpectedly revealed his true strength, catching Huoxin off guard.

Qiongji Daozi died in the same way.

They were all killed by him with lightning speed when they thought they had a great advantage.

It was too late to escape.

There was simply no chance to use any trump card to save their lives.

Wu Hongling spoke in a sincere tone: "Don't you value it? Your treacherous master is a transcendent being from the Dao Palace. Normally, in the Dao Palace, one must reach the Longevity Realm to become a disciple of a transcendent being. Now do you understand why I chased after you? Under the circumstances at the time, if I didn't capture you, I would surely be punished by the higher-ups."

Li Weiyi remembered clearly that when he was using the Karmic Fire Transformation technique at the bottom of the sea, Huo Xin pressed his palm against Zu Tian in a critical moment.

He was very worried that a terrible force was hidden within the ancestral land of evil.

To obtain the Dao Fruit and absorb the Blazing Divine Flame, one must be extremely cautious.

She added, "Among all the young masters who came to the East Sea this time, Huo Xin is easily in the top ten. You are stronger than him, so you are also extremely outstanding, and your future achievements will not be low."

"And you? Where are you ranked?" Li Weiyi asked.

Wu Hongling said, "I'll rank fourth! Above me are the two true disciples and my sister."

"The two disciples were able to fight against two realms while in the Dao Seed Realm. Upon reaching the Ninth Heaven, they further cultivated their physical bodies to 99% of the strength of the Longevity Body, making them virtually invincible below the Longevity Realm."

Li Weiyi asked curiously, "As far as I know, most young emperors don't spend their time cultivating their physical bodies at the ninth level; they break through directly. As a true disciple of the Inamori Palace, you shouldn't lack longevity pills."

Wu Hongling said, "True disciples are different! True disciples must cultivate the Longevity Body at the Dao Seed Realm. Only in this way will their combat power be 10-20% stronger at the Longevity Realm, and breaking the Longevity Lock will be 10-20% easier. Don't underestimate this 10-20% difference; this 10-20% difference is the difference between true disciples and non-true disciples."

"At the same time, once you become a true disciple, you will have access to far more genuine scriptures, elixirs and medicines, Taoist arts, wealth, status, and power than those who are not true disciples."

"Even though they are both young prodigies at the Dao Seed Realm, the difference between true disciples and non-true disciples will grow larger and larger over time."

"Ultimately, in the Longevity Realm, only true disciples can defeat enemies across a realm. Those who are not true disciples can only reign supreme within the same realm and will eventually degenerate into top-tier chief geniuses."

Li Wei could tell that she had ulterior motives regarding the words "true teachings." Once a person exposes their desires, they also reveal their weaknesses.

"Is it difficult to cultivate the Longevity Body?" Li Weiyi asked.

Wu Hongling said, "It's not difficult for martial artists in the Longevity Realm, but it's as difficult as ascending to heaven for martial artists in the Dao Seed Realm. It wastes a lot of time, and they may eventually get stuck at 99%, unable to generate that special blood torrent. That blood torrent is the greatest asset of the Longevity Body in fighting against Longevity Beings."

Li Weiyi once thought that the Demon Child had cultivated an immortal body, but now it seems that he probably hasn't.

The Demon Child's breakthrough in Lingxiao City was rushed. After breaking through, his combat strength was significantly weaker than Tang Wanzhou's.

The two were in a strange state, like old friends who had known each other for many years. They were very sincere and had a harmonious conversation, but they were separated by dozens of feet.

Wu Hongling sighed, "Let's stop daydreaming. Instead of wasting time cultivating the Longevity Body, we should break through to the Longevity Realm as soon as possible. Reaching the Longevity Realm makes all the difference. They're back!"

The Great Phoenix and the Bone Spirit flew down from a height of several hundred feet.

"It's too hard, the more we dig, the harder it gets. The rock layer is like metal, and sometimes golden flames even emanate from it. What should we do? We might really be stuck here!" Da Feng informed Li Weiyi of the situation telepathically.

On the other side, after listening to the Bone Spirit's report, Wu Hongling looked at Li Weiyi with a serious expression: "We can no longer be hostile to each other. Let's find a way to escape together. I made an incredible discovery on the stone wall, which I didn't want to tell you... Shall we study it together?"

Li Weiyi was not fooled by her previous kindness and sincerity, and became wary.

In terms of language, everyone just speaks their mind without thinking.

But if she makes a truly significant discovery, will she share it?
Li Weiyi, accompanied by the seven little ones and with the Purple Thunder Seal always at hand, followed Wu Hongling to the foot of the stone wall, keeping a distance of more than ten feet from her.

Wu Hongling pointed to the past: "I saw a similar carving on an ancient scroll in the Rice Palace. It depicted a holy spirit with two heads, one for dawn and one for dusk. He was the most magnificent being in the world, a supreme being from the era of ancient immortals and giant beasts. The fact that his carving is here means something."

"What does that mean?" Li Weiyi asked.

Wu Hongling said, "We have fallen into an unimaginably terrifying place, where our lives are in danger at any moment. Look, the mark above the neck of that holy spirit is said to contain countless transformations and can lead to the enlightenment of immortality."

She secretly mobilized her internal energy, waiting for Li Weiyi's soul consciousness to be affected by the "卍" mark, then seized the opportunity to kill him in one blow.

Li Weiyi had seen the swastika mark long ago.

Legend has it that the Buddha had this mark on his hands, feet, and chest, a total of five marks, symbolizing his great supernatural powers and all things.

With just one glance, Li Weiyi sensed that this mark was extraordinary, as if the Great Sun Buddha was shining above his head.

The ocean of scriptures within the Dao Ancestor's Tai Chi Fish was half Buddhist and half Daoist, and Li Weiyi was finding it extremely difficult to comprehend. At this moment, the Buddhist scriptures he had previously comprehended seemed to have been washed away, or like clouds being blown away.

One by one, the Buddhist texts became clear, and their meaning could be instantly understood.

On the twelve-layered lotus in Li Weiyi's Divine Palace, Buddhist radiance suddenly shone brightly, giving birth to one golden Buddhist script after another, and his cultivation level increased at an extremely rapid speed.

Wu Hongling frowned.

As they watched, an increasingly bright golden light emanated from Li Weiyi's body, and chanting hymns resounded within him.

She didn't act rashly. The other person's eyes were bright, not like they had been affected. Moreover, the other person's telekinesis was constantly on guard against her.

In just a quarter of an hour or two, Li Weiyi felt he had gained a great deal and looked deeply at Wu Hongling not far away: "This mark is indeed extraordinary. Thank you for sharing. Fairy Hongling, would you like to study it together?"

"It's not suitable for me! You should cultivate first, and I'll go explore other places. That way, you won't always be on guard against me, as if I would do you any harm."

Seeing that Li Weiyi had truly grasped the essence, Wu Hongling felt distressed, as if she had trapped herself in a cocoon. Her fingers clenched tightly, and she desperately wanted to take action.

Li Weiyi stared at her departing figure. If he hadn't almost died at her hands earlier, he would have started to doubt whether he was being too petty.

He continued to meditate. Half a day later, the Buddhist light around Li Weiyi grew stronger and stronger, his right palm was burning hot, and golden magical power gushed out from the Laogong Spring.

A swastika symbol appeared, flashing intermittently.

Another half day.

On the palm of his left hand, there was also a swastika mark, and his palm was so hot it looked like it was burning with divine flames.

Wu Hongling stood on the cliff edge opposite the stone wall, with a river of lava flowing beneath her feet. She was filled with hatred and didn't want to wait any longer. The red ribbon on her body fluttered faster and faster.

This mark is definitely not simple; she had actually seen it in ancient books, and even ancient immortals studied it.

Wu Hongling's attention was entirely on Li Weiyi.

Not far behind her, a human head silently emerged. It was extremely ferocious, with long, flowing hair, high cheekbones, green eyes, and sharp teeth.

It has a human head, a bird's body, and wings, but no feathers.

Wu Hongling sensed the danger and immediately released her magical energy to protect herself, then manipulated the red ribbon to strike out.

"boom!"

The monster with a human head and a bird's body was knocked away by the red ribbon.

It let out a high-pitched, strange scream, rolled several times, and then pounced again. Its physical defense was extremely astonishing, comparable to the strength of a fourth or fifth-generation adult.

“The Demonic Qu Ru.”

Wu Hongling looked up and saw more Quru birds flying out of the gloom, their shadows heavy. She was secretly startled and immediately took flight towards the opposite stone wall, leading them towards Li Weiyi.

Li Weiyi had already noticed the commotion and saw a monster with a human head and a bird's body flying towards him, smelling a putrid stench.

Immediately, he struck out with a palm.

A golden swastika mark landed on the Quru bird, knocking it back with a "bang".

The swastika mark is like an imprint on its body, impossible to get rid of.

The bird spread its wings and fled, screaming incessantly, its body engulfed in golden flames. Finally, it burned to ashes seven or eight miles away.

Seeing this, Wu Hongling gained a deeper understanding of the swastika mark. Even the magical energy attribute of Li Weiyi changed.

A fleeting, almost imperceptible look crossed her eyes as she cried out, "Too many! We can't kill them all. Follow me!"

Li Weiyi unleashed four palm strikes in quick succession, killing four Quru birds in succession. Heads and bird shadows filled the air, leaving no gaps. Having no other choice, he immediately led seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Queens, chasing after Wu Hongling, towards the lava river below.

"Swish!"

Countless gulls followed closely behind, dark as a cloud, leaving countless claw marks on the stone wall.

On a stone wall only a few dozen feet high, a stone temple gate stands, located a short distance from the lava river.

The stone gate is ten zhang high and about ten zhang thick, making it quite magnificent.

Stone pillars, eaves, railings, and gates have been built on the cliff face, with dragon-shaped stone beasts coiled around them.

Wu Hongling landed on the stone platform in front of the door first. The red ribbon flew past Li Weiyi and struck Qu Ru Niao, who was chasing behind him: "Quick! I have investigated this stone hall. The stone door is made of special material. Even magic weapons cannot cut it. It can block them."

Li Weiyi was quite surprised. He had thought she was going to use the red ribbon to knock him into the flock of birds.

"Boom!"

Before entering, Li Weiyi unleashed the Purple Heaven Thunder Seal, unleashing countless bolts of lightning that repelled the flock of Qu Ru birds. Then, he and Wu Hongling each grabbed a stone door and desperately pushed forward.

Throughout this process, Li Weiyi kept a close eye on Wu Hongling, wary of being tricked by her.

"boom!"

The heavy stone door finally closed.

Instantly, all the birdsong and howling ceased.

Li Weiyi immediately surveyed the surroundings: "This stone hall looks extraordinary; it's not built of ordinary stone. Could there be any danger?"

Wu Hongling said, "Don't worry, if I wanted to scheme against you, I would have done so just now! Besides, I couldn't have predicted Qu Runiao's appearance, so I couldn't have set a trap here in advance."

"Do you even understand what it means to share hardships and what trust means? Aren't you tired of being so wary? I'm a woman, and I've never been this wary of you."

Li Weiyi drew array patterns on the stone gate: "The treasures inside have probably already been taken by you."

“There’s no treasure. I’ve searched three or four times already, otherwise I wouldn’t have brought you here. You should have died in the mouth of the Quru bird.” As she said this, she took off the bluish-gray skull mask from her face.

"In terms of combat strength, I am inferior to you. But when it comes to finding treasure, I ask myself... you..."

Li Weiyi stared at her and was surprised to find that she was actually wearing a mask and had been deliberately making herself look ugly.

What does it mean to voluntarily remove one's mask?
Honey trap?
With her cultivation level, it shouldn't be that bad.

Wu Hongling had long, slender eyebrows and skin that radiated an eerie jade-like glow, like warm jade emitting smoke. Her red lips were incredibly soft and lustrous, and a delicate fragrance permeated her very soul, making one feel weak in the knees and short of breath.

In stark contrast to its previous ugliness, any man would be amazed by this bizarre transformation.

This face, with its captivating eyes and red lips, possesses a beauty that is both alluring to the core and delicate, ethereal, with flawless skin and facial features.
