The Primordial Law

Chapter 486 The eldest sister-in-law, the woman in purple
Li Weiyi flew to the edge of the crack, looking up at the endless darkness above, where rubble continued to tumble down. He heard the sound of wind cutting through the air and realized that Wu Hongling had caught up.

She has a pair of dazzling, ten-foot-long feathers on her back. These feathers are not formed from spiritual light or magical energy, but grow from within her body at an extremely fast speed.

The two did not fight; instead, they seized the time and flew upwards.

"Boom!"

The seawater poured down with tremendous force.

Li Weiyi immediately took out his peach wood staff and urged it to grow roots that resembled vines and tentacles. These roots took hold on the cliff face at the edge of the crack, resisting the impact of the seawater, and he climbed upwards with difficulty and urgency.

The rock layers here are very hard; if we cannot escape before the cracks close, the consequences will be dire.

Wu Hongling wrapped her delicate body in colorful feathers and used a water escape technique. Surprisingly, she merged with the water and rapidly ascended upwards amidst the impact of the falling seawater.

"Her mastery of Taoist arts is truly extraordinary."

Li Weiyi's cultivation time was too short to compare with their decades of cultivation, so he couldn't envy them. Using the peach wood staff, he steadily climbed upwards.

Before long, Li Weiyi saw Wu Hongling holding a sword hanging above the turbulent water cliff.

She was no longer as swift as when she used her magic, and climbed with great difficulty, her face pale. She had to mobilize all her magical energy to envelop her body and deflect the impact of the water flowing above her head in order to climb upwards.

As she mobilized her magical energy to the fullest extent, her internal injuries naturally worsened.

Seeing Li Weiyi catch up, Wu Hongling's heart sank, and she immediately mobilized the extraordinary power between her brows. If he took advantage of her vulnerability, she would perish together with him.

Li Weiyi didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble, so he quickly climbed past her.

Wu Hongling followed closely behind him, and immediately felt much more relaxed.

“Your behavior makes me feel very insecure,” Li Weiyi said.

Wu Hongling said, "Attacking you at this time will not benefit me at all. Li Weiyi, let's cooperate. With your speed, you can't escape, and with my speed, I can't escape either. If we could fight against him, we wouldn't have fallen to the bottom earlier."

“If you want to cooperate, let me plant the Death Spirit Flame,” Li Weiyi said.

Wu Hongling said, "Impossible! Once we get out, you will ignite the Death Spirit Fire, and I will die without a burial place. What you are worried about is that I will take revenge on you after we get out. I can swear that all grudges will be wiped clean, and I will never reveal to anyone that Liu Fengshu is you."

Li Weiyi didn't believe her at all, slid down to her side, and drew a Six Desires Talisman in her palm.

Wu Hongling asked, "What is this?"

“I’ll plant a rune here, and then we’ll cooperate wholeheartedly,” Li Weiyi said.

Wu Hongling became alert: "What runes?"

The Six Desires Demon is the ancient emperor of the Lingxiao Realm.

The Six Desires Talisman isn't that well-known outside.

"Don't worry, you won't die!" Li Wei slapped her neck with his palm, and the runes sank in.

Wu Hongling's brow radiated an extraordinary power, ultimately choosing neither to perish together with Li Weiyi nor to dodge. She realized the fissure in the earth was beginning to close, and time was of the essence.

It's just a spell cast by a spiritualist; Inamiya has powerful sages who can help her dispel it.

How could a small-town Buddhist practitioner know the vast supernatural powers of the strong in the world?
Perhaps this can lull him into a false sense of security and make him pay with his life.

Next, Li Weiyi led the way, while Wu Hongling hid behind him to regulate her breathing. After regulating her breathing, she used a teleportation technique to grab Li Weiyi's wrist and ascend significantly upwards.

So again and again.

After climbing for an unknown amount of time, the fissure in the ground had become incredibly narrow. Li Weiyi activated his governor's robe, and finally, it reacted. His body was enveloped in a purple mist, traversing space, and in the next instant, he appeared above the sea.

Outside, the sky is full of stars.

The stars are reflected in the distant sea.

With a gentle night breeze on his face, Li Weiyi felt cheerful. However, thinking of the potential threat, he immediately sensed the situation on the seabed to see if Wu Hongling had escaped.

Seawater hinders exploration, allowing only the surface layer to be perceived. Unlike in the air, where telekinesis can extend for tens of miles.

Li Weiyi closed his eyes, sensing the location of the Six Desires Talisman: "She actually escaped..."

"Wow!"

Wu Hongling emerged from the water ten miles away, using her movement technique to swiftly escape: "Li Weiyi, until we meet again!"

Li Weiyi activated his governor's robe, using continuous spatial jumps to quickly catch up with her. He stepped on the white mist dragon soul released from the robe and said, "Fairy, don't go. You have been afflicted by my Six Desires Talisman. I am very worried about your safety."

"It's alright! I'll stop here. If I take you any further, I'll have to activate the power between my eyebrows." Wu Hongling unfurled the colorful feathers on her back and flew into the sky.

Li Weiyi took out a two-meter-long bow with the Thousand Characters design, drew back the bowstring, and locked onto her: "You'd better go and find out more. The Six Desires Talisman is not a good talisman and is very difficult to dispel. Even if you ask your elders in the sect for help, it will greatly damage your reputation and you will have no hope of passing on the true teachings. A true disciple cannot have any stain on their body."

The six desires talismans planted by the Great Master require transcendence to resolve.

Given Li Weiyi's current mental strength, an ordinary Holy Spirit King Mind Master might not be able to easily dissolve the Six Desires Talisman within her. Whether Inamiya has a Holy Spirit King Mind Master of that level who has come to the East Sea is unknown.

Secondly, given Wu Hongling's talent and innate abilities, if she didn't have delusions about the true teachings, how could she have come to the East Sea at such a crucial time in her attempt to break through to the Longevity Realm?

They must be pinning their hopes on the opportunity presented by the remains of the ancient immortal dragon.

"Boom!"

An arrow shot out.

The seawater beneath Li Weiyi's feet was shaken into ripples.

Wu Hongling unleashed a mirror-shaped magical artifact to defend herself, but was injured once again, bleeding from her mouth and nose, looking utterly miserable.

Li Weiyi pursued her relentlessly, maintaining a safe distance and occasionally firing a shot at her, hoping to wear her down.

The sound of a zither drifted from the sea.

"Wow!"

A piercing plucked string sound flew swiftly, transforming into a semi-transparent sonic blade that shattered the Seven-Clawed Heavenly Dragon Flame Arrow that Li Weiyi had shot out.

The sound of a zither emanated from a three-zhang-long green boat. A woman in purple robes and a veil sat in the boat, gracefully playing the zither. The zither rested on her lap, her white hair cascading down her back, a red floral design painted between her brows, her fingertips dancing swiftly.

She possessed a unique aura that made the sea surface within several miles of the boat as smooth as a mirror, perfectly replicating the stars in the sky.

The green boat is long and slender, with copper lamps hanging from its awning, as if floating in the starry sky.

"Wow!"

Wu Hongling tucked the colorful feathers from her back and stumbled onto the green boat, her long hair disheveled and her Taoist robe stained with blood, almost falling over.

"So badly injured?" The woman in purple looked eight or nine parts like her, but her eyes were deep and calm, giving people a sense of profound wisdom and composure in the face of life and death.

"Give me a hand! I will unleash that wisp of transcendent power from the spirit realm to kill him, tear him to pieces, and slice him into a thousand pieces."

Wu Hongling was so angry with Li Weiyi that her liver ached. He first ambushed her and severely injured her, then stole Hongling and planted an unknown curse on her. After that, he shot arrow after arrow at her.

They can only passively take hits and have no way to fight back.

The sense of humiliation was like being stripped naked, assaulted, and then having a picture drawn on you.

Li Weiyi chased after the small boat for three miles with his bow, only to find that the waves beneath his feet had disappeared, leaving an eerie smooth surface. He immediately stopped, staring at the small boat with its bronze lamps lit, and sensed that the music was growing increasingly somber.

Wu Hongling stood at the bow of the ship, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, deliberately provoking her: "Brother Weiyi, why don't you dare to come forward? You're so powerful, are you scared?"

Li Weiyi's gaze fell on the woman in purple, and guessing her identity, he laughed loudly, "Stop being naughty! With my sister-in-law here, neither of us can relax. Farewell!"

"Your Excellency is capable of injuring Hongling, so you must be quite powerful. Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Listen to my song 'I Advise You to Stay,' as the setting sun bids you farewell, yet I insist on urging you to stay."

The woman in purple plucked the strings with her fingertips, and the sea surface boiled.

The fiery sunset clouds appeared out of nowhere. Immediately afterwards, a crimson sun rose from the water in front of Li Weiyi, as huge as a mountain, releasing dazzling light and heat.

Amidst the melodious sound of the piano.

The area within a three-mile radius underwent a dramatic transformation, changing from midnight to dusk.

It was a pre-arranged formation, extremely powerful.

When Li Weiyi entered that sea area, he sensed the fluctuations of the formation, so he immediately stopped and decisively retreated.

"Boom!"

As the sun sets, it seems to press down on the sea, making it appear to sink.

Li Weiyi dared not underestimate it. He activated the Purple Heaven Thunder Seal, using the power of the Myriad Character Weapon to shatter the approaching sunset. Dozens of purple lightning dragons surged outwards, creating layers of giant waves that spread towards the green boat three miles away.

A strange light flashed in the purple-clad woman's eyes as she pressed all ten fingers onto the strings of the zither.

Instantly, ten layers of defensive array light veil rose from the center of the green boat, blocking the incoming lightning.

“Hong Ling’s defeat was not unjust. I never expected that there would be a young powerhouse like you below the Lingxiao Realm and the Longevity Realm,” said the woman in purple.

"My sister-in-law's piano playing is extremely melodious, but despite her youthful vigor, it feels a bit too old."

Li Weiyi spoke as he retreated into the distance.

Behind him, Zuoqiu Hongting, in Li Weiyi's appearance, gracefully descended from the night sky onto the sea, wielding the Staff of All Things.

"Hurry up and leave, Sheng Wulian and Zhenxin are also in the nearby waters."

Li Weiyi and Zuoqiu Hongting activated their governor's robes and teleported away.

Far from that sea area, they arrived at a deserted island three hundred miles away. Before Li Weiyi could ask why she was nearby, Zuoqiu Hongting asked first, "Who did you just call 'Auntie'?"

Li Weiyi said, "It was just a joke! Actually, I don't even know their real names."

"The white-haired woman in purple, and the woman with colorful feathers dancing on a red ribbon. These two are the proud daughters of heaven, nurtured by the blood of the ancient immortal phoenix from the Divine Mountain of Inamori. They are the two strongest among the true disciples. Their martial arts cultivation is roughly equal, but the woman in purple is outstanding in mental power, talent, and array formations, making her slightly stronger," said Zuoqiu Hongting.

Li Weiyi asked curiously, "Why are you all nearby?"

"You, Wu Hongling, and Qiongji Daozi have disappeared in this sea area, which has already alarmed the Daogong, Jiuli tribe, and Zuoqiu sect. Many martial artists are searching for you. What exactly happened?" Zuoqiu Hongting asked.

Li Weiyi said, "It's hard to explain in a short time. I need to see some important people from above."

"Wait a little longer," Zuoqiu Hongting said.

After a while, Tang Zhan, Zhu Qishier, and other top experts below the Lingxiao Shengjing and Changshengjing realms who had been searching and fighting in this sea area returned to the deserted island one after another.

……

On the green boat.

The woman in purple was slightly surprised: "Is Liu Fengshu the Hidden Man of Jiuli?"

“Absolutely true,” Wu Hongling said.

The woman in purple said, "Even if you say that, I'm afraid no one will believe you. First, Li Weiyi would not have made an enemy of the Jiuli tribe because of Kudi. Second, Li Weiyi would not have risked his life to board the Daojiao ship for Kudi. Third, Li Weiyi has been fighting with us these past few days."

"However, even if the rest of the world doesn't believe in you, I will still believe in you."

"How could you have suffered such a crushing defeat? Based on the information I have, his cultivation is far from reaching the peak of the Dao Seed Realm. In addition, his ancestral field was shattered, so he can only cultivate the Wind Mansion, which greatly reduces his combat strength at the same level."

Wu Hongling didn't want to discuss this matter and asked, "Sister, have you ever heard of the Six Desires Talisman?"

The goddess in purple's expression hardened, her eyes seeming to possess the ability to see through all the truths of the world. She reached two fingers towards her neck, and instantly, a rune mark appeared.

Her expression changed drastically: "This matter must not be known to those above. I will find a way to resolve it; otherwise, you and I will lose each other forever..."

The woman in purple realized something and stopped speaking.

A distant voice drifted across the sea on the wind: "What are you trying to hide?"

The woman in purple and Wu Hongling exchanged a glance, then knelt down on one knee in unison: "Greetings, Master Sheng."
