The Primordial Law

Chapter 491 The Ultimate Showdown of the Younger Generation

Last night, three hundred miles south of Moon Dragon Island, a duel between the strongest young generation of warriors took place on the sea.

Only seven people participated.

The ownership of the nine islands and reefs of the Nine Atolls was divided ahead of schedule.

Princess Lantern Phoenix, in her true form, returned to Moon Dragon Island's sea city, seated in a carriage as clear and translucent as jewels and jade.

The vehicle was shrouded in a veil of arrayed light, hazy and enchanting, with a defense that even ordinary Longevity Realm giants would find difficult to break through, and its speed was so great that it could travel tens of thousands of miles a day, chasing the wind and catching the moon.

The driver was her top expert, Turtle Scholar.

He was also her strategist.

Apart from his tortoise shell, the Turtle Scholar had almost completely transformed into human form. He looked to be in his early thirties, dressed as a Confucian scholar, with a strikingly bright red mole between his eyebrows.

His eyes were reserved, his skin had a faint metallic sheen, and beneath his quiet and peaceful demeanor lay a sense of unapproachability—"he either doesn't make a move, or when he does, he's as swift as lightning."

"If my physical body could be improved by another ten percent, I would be qualified to participate, and Your Highness would not have to fight alone. Going back like this now, who knows how those guys will ridicule me."

The Turtle Scholar smiled wryly, feeling a headache coming on as he thought about dealing with the young leaders of various demon clans.

He was a top-tier chief cultivator, but his physical cultivation talent was exceptional, reaching the strength of an 80% mature body. His combat power was comparable to that of a top chief cultivator of the ninth heaven.

Princess Dengfeng's voice rang out inside the carriage: "It's useless! That old fellow from the Zhu family of the Lingxiao human race, even after cultivating his physical body to 99%, can still barely protect himself... cough cough..."

The scholar looked worried: "Your Highness, you must not reveal the secret that you are seriously injured. Being put in a passive position is a minor risk, but it is a risk that we cannot afford to take, which may attract a hunting party and be killed."

"As time went on, more and more young prodigies died in battle, especially after Huo Xin died, the older generation of the major forces were all hindering each other."

Princess Dengfeng naturally understood the risks involved.

She has protectors, so her life is safe. However, if martial artists below the Longevity Realm try to deal with her, hostile forces, such as the Jiaolong Clan and the old guys from the Rice Palace, will definitely intercept her protectors.

Isn't the evil one destined to die a miserable death even with protectors around?
The Turtle Scholar said, "Why don't you go and hide with my clan for a while?"

"If I flee Moon Dragon Island, what will happen to the young demon leaders who follow my Jellyfish Clan? The Nether Dragon Prince will surely take the opportunity to recruit or subdue them, or suppress and humiliate them."

Princess Dengfeng's tone returned to its coldness: "Don't worry, I have taken the healing medicine and will be fully recovered within three days. Life Without Love and Death Without Sickness are indeed true disciples of the ancient sect. Either one of them is far superior to the others in combat power. The two of them together are even more unbelievably strong. It takes the combined efforts of the five of us to suppress their arrogance."

Princess Dengfeng recalled the battle at sea last night and secretly pondered whether she should also attempt to break through to the Longevity Body while still in the Dao Seed Realm.

There must be some reason why ancient religions forcefully require the true disciples to cultivate the Longevity Body.

A typical young emperor at the ninth level of the Heavenly Realm would only have cultivated his physical body to about 60-70% completion. To advance further, the time cost would increase exponentially with each additional 10% advancement. It was normal to spend several years, ten years, or even decades.

More importantly, spending a lot of time practicing doesn't guarantee success.

The gains and the efforts are severely unbalanced.

The young emperors who participated in last night's battle—Princess Lantern Phoenix, Chang Yujian, Bai Yeqing, and Prince Mingjiao—all possessed physical bodies at least at the 70% maturity level, exceeding the normal level for young emperors of the Ninth Heaven. Some were slightly higher, some slightly lower, but none reached 99%.

Zhu Qishi's physical body reached 99% completion in 72 days, but he was not a young emperor; he was merely an ordinary chief-level cultivator who had accumulated his strength over a century to achieve this. This granted him the qualification to represent the human race of the Lingxiao Realm in the war, making him the seventh member.

Changyu Sword and Zhu Qishier Chongtian are allies.

Bai Yeqing and the Nether Dragon Prince are allies.

Although Princess Dengfeng is outwardly an ally of the two demons, Bai Ming and others, representing the demon race, during last night's battle, when she was in the most danger, no one was there to share the burden with her.

The vehicle disembarked and entered a manor covering hundreds of acres.

After dealing with the various young leaders of the demon race, Princess Dengfeng prepared to go into seclusion to recuperate from her injuries.

The Water Beaver Fairy came to report: "Your Highness, Li Weiyi, the Hermit of Jiuli, has come to pay his respects and has important matters to discuss."

“Him? He actually dared to come see me…” Princess Dengfeng said.

Shui Lixian assumed that Princess Dengfeng was holding a grudge against Li Weiyi for deceiving her in the old Yuzhou city under the false identity of "Lu Cangsheng," so she quickly explained for him: "He has already realized his mistake, saying that he shouldn't have deceived Your Highness and betrayed your trust. He feels extremely guilty. I have already criticized him, and he has a very good attitude in admitting his mistake. Why don't we meet him?"

"Since you're already here, please come in!" Princess Dengfeng had already guessed the purpose of their visit.

The battle in the Lingxiao Realm showcased the abilities of the Hidden Ancestor Cangming, shocking the surrounding tribes and wielding influence comparable to half a martial arts emperor. Li Weiyi's battle against Zhenxin also demonstrated strength sufficient to warrant Princess Dengfeng's attention.

……

Outside the manor by the sea and river, Li Weiyi received a secret letter from Yin Jiu.

After reading the contents of the secret letter.

Li Wei smiled, feeling even more confident. He also understood why everyone was looking for him; missing the opportunity to observe the battle last night was indeed a bit of a regret.

Yao Yin stood quietly to the side, her figure graceful and tall: "The spot you bought was for Ku Di?"

"How do you know?" Li Weiyi asked.

Yao Yin said, "Ku Di can't return to the Rice Sect, nor can she integrate into the Lingxiao human race. If she wants to obtain opportunities, she can only choose the demon race. But I don't understand why you're helping her so much? Helping any other woman to this extent would be enough to win her heart." "It has nothing to do with romantic love."

Li Weiyi said seriously, "I killed one of Palace Master An's disciples, so naturally I should do my best to help her other disciple. Otherwise, when I see her in the future, she will definitely make a fuss about it. Women are always very dramatic, no matter how old they are. Besides, it didn't cost any money."

"what……"

Yao Yin was surprised, as she clearly remembered that the beaver demon had claimed to have negotiated the price down to twelve million Yongquan coins. This had astonished Master Ma and impressed Prince Baba greatly.

The water beaver fairy, with its paws folded behind its back, walked out proudly: "Let's go, Her Highness the princess has agreed to see both of you!"

Li Weiyi and Yao Yin walked into the courtyard side by side. In their ears, they heard the voice transmission of the Water Li Fairy: "Brother Ren, don't be fooled by the princess's polite and elegant appearance. In reality, she is very petty. If you offend her, who knows how she will retaliate. You are a hero of this era with such a broad mind and spirit. You should give her a little leeway."

It's exhausting to have to cater to both sides like the Water Lily Fairy.

……

The carriage, shrouded in a veil of magical light, was parked inside the manor, beside a ten-zhang-wide river.

Princess Dengfeng's human form stood gracefully beside the carriage, her white veil like mist, facing the river and with her back to Li Weiyi and the other person.

Her tone was serene yet tinged with sarcasm: "Huoxin is dead, and Qiongji Daozi is dead too! In the East Sea now, as long as the younger generation makes a move, even the Longevity Realm giants of your Jiuli Clan won't be able to save you in time."

"If I, the princess, were to make my move now, would you be able to leave this manor?"

Yao Yin sensed the hostility and powerful aura emanating from Princess Dengfeng and felt secretly worried.

She was not intimidated by the opponent's strength, and her voice was as beautiful as heavenly music: "Your Highness, didn't you see that not only the Nine Li Hermits came, but also me, the disciple of the Abbot of the Crossing Calamity Temple? Guess if my master has bestowed upon me a treasure to kill enemies in desperate situations?"

Princess Dengfeng laughed and said, "So you're the Nine Li Hermit's reliance?"

Inside the manor, several terrifying figures shrouded in demonic mist appeared one by one, approaching from all directions, each with an unfriendly gaze.

Their bodies are brimming with vitality, resembling lakes and seas.

Li Weiyi scanned the area and discovered three figures whose auras were no less malevolent than Huo Xin's.

The East Sea is vast, with thirty-six major rivers flowing deep into the inland. Myriad races exist, and countless demon soldiers and generals are born there. It is not surprising that a few such powerful and rebellious beings could be born there.

Having the bloodline of ancient immortal beasts is perfectly normal.

Li Weiyi remained calm and released his psychic field to protect Yao Yin: "I dared to come, so I am confident I can leave. Since Your Highness knows that the battle between the younger generation is a matter of life and death decided by ourselves, you should understand your situation. What you need are allies, not enemies."

"Allies? Do you even qualify?"

Princess Dengfeng suddenly turned around and pointed a finger out from a distance.

The force of his finger strike caused the air throughout the entire manor to vibrate, creating a dazzling, powerful beam of light.

"Wow!"

The light and shadow of the Fusang Divine Tree rose above Li Wei, reaching a height of tens of feet, with a thick trunk and lush foliage. The fiery radiance it released caused all the defensive formations within the manor to surface.

Princess Dengfeng's finger strike was blocked by the Fusang Divine Tree and neutralized.

"Your Highness, do you really think you can judge me based on this mere human clone? Do you really think we're still in the old Yuzhou city?"

Although Li Weiyi responded dismissively, the shock in his heart was beyond measure.

It's important to understand that this attack was launched by Princess Lantern Phoenix's human avatar. In other words, the humanoid Princess Lantern Phoenix who attacked Fu Wenyan and him in the old Yuzhou city was very likely also this avatar.

Li Weiyi's gaze fell on the car frame not far away, then looked at the stunning figure opposite, and quickly saw through the mystery.

It is light and shadow.

Like a lamp shining on Princess Lantern Phoenix's true form, it projected this extremely powerful humanoid light and shadow.

Such as the main body and the secondary body.

Princess Lantern Phoenix, seeing that her intimidation had been achieved, slightly raised her hand, signaling the attacking demons to retreat. She said, "The Hermit of the Divine Realm is indeed a far cry from what he once was, worthy of our admiration. May I ask, do you represent yourself, the Lingxiao Realm, or the Du'e Temple?"

In the distance, the Water Beaver Fairy breathed a sigh of relief, supporting Baba Prince's head to stand firm, fearing that their fight would harm innocent beavers.

The Turtle Scholar sat on the eaves behind Li Weiyi, his eyes fixed on him.

Li Weiyi transmitted his voice, saying, "The Book of Earth is no ordinary book. Fu Wenyan will definitely try every means to retrieve it. If we don't kill him, once he enters the Ninth Heaven, he will surely bring the four great masters of Zong Sheng Xue Hai to deal with us. Rather than preventing trouble, we should eliminate it."

Princess Dengfeng had long harbored the idea of ​​killing Fu Wenyan and seizing the rest of the "Earth Book" from his body.

But Fu Wenyan either hid on the boat or kept a low profile, so he couldn't find an opportunity.

"This cooperation is negotiable. Shenyinren is a smart man. He should understand that it would be difficult for Fu Wenyan to deal with me, but it would be very easy for him to deal with the little saintess beside you."

Princess Dengfeng succinctly pointed out Li Weiyi's concerns and worries, firmly grasping the initiative, and then said, "I have two conditions."
