The Primordial Law

Chapter 494 Three Thousand Miles into the Deep Sea

"It's all thanks to the Lesser Yang Star. The blood energy there gradually revived my body. The spiritual power there nourished my remnant soul. It's a pity that my spiritual realm between my eyebrows was destroyed. If the Star of Mental Power were still there, perhaps there would be a chance to rekindle it."

The coffin maker wasn't too resentful; he was already quite content.

He is different from Zen Sea Viewing the Mist.

Zen Sea Observer has even greater ambitions and higher aspirations. He wants to be transformed back into a living being of flesh and blood, return to the throne, and ascend to the realm of immortals.

However, the Coffin Master can only be considered a corpse spirit. Unlike other corpse spirits with transcendent corpse bodies, the bronze ancient ship preserved his memories of his previous life, and the Lesser Yang Star nourished his body, remnant soul, and otherworldly elixir.

When Li Weiyi first entered Shaoyang Star, Master Coffin had mentioned that during that battle a thousand years ago, they were all guided to Shaoyang Star by spatial forces before setting off.

As such, all participants developed a special connection with Shaoyang Star, and could use its power to heal their injuries and nourish their souls.

It was the special treatment bestowed upon the participants by the master of the Taoist Taiji Fish.

Even though the master of the jar had turned to ash and was buried underground in the Blood Mud Space, he could still conjure a human-shaped body from the blood mud. This shows the mystery and power of the Lesser Yang Star.

Master Coffin said, "We went to the underground immortal abode to find energy substances that can quickly restore cultivation. Without that trip, my strength would not have been able to recover to the transcendent level, but it is still far from my peak state."

Li Weiyi pondered, "So, the excavation of the ancient immortal dragon's remains will be the next opportunity to restore our strength?"

"That's right!"

The coffin maker asked, "Where is the Mist Emperor?"

Li Weiyi shook his head and sighed, "She didn't come looking for me! At certain times, I can vaguely sense her location, but the feeling is very subtle, like reaching out to catch the wind, not sure if I've actually caught it."

The spirit tablet master's voice came from the coffin: "With your current cultivation level, the person who marries into the living world cannot go too far away from you."

Li Weiyi was slightly surprised, not expecting that the spirit tablet master was also in the coffin, and asked, "How far is considered far?"

“I don’t know! I only know that once a woman who marries a man leaves you and exceeds a certain distance, she will be exposed to the laws of life,” the spirit tablet master said.

Master Coffin said, "Not necessarily. The Hundred Prisons Wind Chime of the Mist Emperor is made from immortal bones and may be able to evade the laws of life."

Li Weiyi knew perfectly well that he had his own path of cultivation, so he asked, "Do the two masters know about the Spirit Sentinel Army?"

"Did they contact you?"

Master Coffin said, "This is a good place for you. I served as a sentry in the Cave Ruins Camp for a period of time and am very familiar with that area. Once this matter is settled, we can go together."

"Master Coffin is indeed a genius; he can do everything and has done everything."

Li Weiyi chuckled, finally feeling reassured.

Walk out of the room.

Li Weiyi and Yin Jun walked up the narrow staircase.

The Hidden Lord was filled with worry: "The return of the leader is certainly a great joy, but what about the Earth Wolf King's army? If we don't retrieve the Immortal Star as soon as possible, we will be in great trouble once Shi Na'er breaks through to the Transcendent Realm. Barbarians are still barbarians, and they will surely find a way to break free from their constraints."

Li Weiyi realized that the Hidden Sect members probably didn't know the true strength of Master Coffin and thought he was just a mutilated corpse, so they sent Elder Zhuo to protect him.

The coffin maker must have his reasons for concealing his skills.

However, Li Weiyi had long had a plan to retrieve the immortal star that Shi Naer possessed.

The two arrived on the deck and saw Zuoqiu Hongting in a Taoist robe, coming from the sea on the wind and moon. Her delicate figure and beautiful face were like jade carvings. Finally, they recognized her true appearance.

She floated down, gracefully bowed, and exuded a refined and elegant air: "Greetings, Hidden Lord. The Ancestor wishes to see both of you."

……

On the main ship of Zuoqiu Gate, a bright light was shining in the highest deck.

Zuo Qiuran sat at a table filled with ancient books. Looking at the three people in the room, he looked solemn. After a long while, he finally said, "Who knows, it might really be related to the immortal dragon vein."

After holding his breath, Yin Jun asked, "Teacher, what exactly is going on?"

"This matter is far too important to tell you much. The underground space has been moved to another location. All parties have reached an agreement to temporarily cover up the truth and immediately excavate the remains of the ancient immortal dragon. You three are in the know, so I warn you again: do not let this information leak out."

Zuoqiu Ran took out two talismans from the wide sleeves of his scholar's robe and handed them to Li Weiyi and Zuoqiu Hongting: "The excavation of the ancient immortal dragon's remains is an incredible opportunity for you two, but it also comes with great danger and competitive pressure. We certainly won't be able to take care of you then. Are you afraid of facing the young emperors of the Ninth Heaven, such as Sheng Wulian and Si Wuyan?"

Zuoqiu Hongting looked at the talisman in her hand: "Is this to save our lives?"

"Ten Thousand Mile Travel Talisman!"

Zuoqiu Ran said, "If you encounter mortal danger, activating this talisman will unleash unparalleled speed, and the talisman's light has strong defensive power, allowing you to escape thousands of miles in a short time."

"Why don't you hurry up and thank the ancestor? Even the Great Longevity Cultivator would be envious of this talisman; its value is comparable to a life." Yin Jun lightly kicked Li Weiyi.

Li Weiyi knew perfectly well that Zuoqiu Ran regarded him as Zuoqiu Hongting's fiancé, so he treated him the same as everyone else and gave him this talisman. Once he accepted it with a clear conscience, it would be equivalent to acknowledging this ancestor.

Li Weiyi had long owed Zuo Qiuran a favor and held him in deep respect, so acknowledging him as her ancestor was perfectly acceptable.

But the marriage to Zuoqiu Hongting...

Li Weiyi said, "Does the ancestor underestimate us? We wouldn't need to use such a treasure against them."

"Good, that's bold!" Zuoqiu Ran, as if waiting for him to say this, immediately said, "You two, whoever uses this talisman first will have their next life-saving method downgraded by one level. The person who uses the talisman later will receive a different reward. Do you know why?"

Zuoqiu Hongting was as serene as a painting, like a learned and virtuous Confucian scholar, completely different from her usual cheerful self: "Our ancestors wanted to force us to act cautiously and to solve problems as much as possible with our own wisdom and strength."

Li Weiyi said, "I'm afraid that if we have something to rely on, we'll become arrogant and conceited, daring to provoke anyone and do anything, losing our ability to judge our true capabilities."

Zuoqiu Ran nodded: "That's why I didn't give you any offensive talismans. But just because I didn't give them to you doesn't mean that the elders of other forces didn't give them to you either."

"Rest assured, Ancestor, we will handle this with utmost care."

Li Weiyi and Zuoqiu Hongting spoke together.

Zuo Qiuran looked at the two of them and frowned: "I remember that at the engagement banquet, Xiao Gu gave you engagement tokens, which were... Wind and Fire Dragon and Phoenix Pendants, right? Wind Dragon Pendant, Fire Phoenix Pendant, why aren't you wearing them? Those are thousand-character artifacts, and their defensive power is not weak."

Li Weiyi, of course, understood what this ancestor wanted to say, and looked at Zuoqiu Hongting.

Zuoqiu Hongting pretended not to see him until he looked at her with pleading eyes.

Zuoqiu Hongting said, "Don't worry about our affairs as young people! We've discussed it, and we won't consider getting married before we reach the Longevity Realm."

Zuo Qiuran left Yin Jun alone, while Li Weiyi and Zuo Qiu Hongting left the room.

Li Weiyi asked, "What do you mean by 'not having considered marriage before reaching the Longevity Realm'? Shouldn't it be 'breaking off the engagement'? We're brothers who share a deep bond."

“If we don’t handle this, the old man might arrest us and force us to get married right now. How are you going to explain that to Jiang Ning?” Zuoqiu Hongting reverted to her original demeanor, no longer the quiet and elegant woman she once was, and winked at him.

She knew Li Weiyi very well, and knew that among his many female confidantes, he had only truly developed feelings for Jiang Ning.

Otherwise, why would they force Jiang Ning to leave Lingxiao City?

As for whether to annul the engagement or go through with the marriage, Zuoqiu Hongting didn't really care too much, and didn't even take it to heart.

Upon hearing Jiang Ning's name, Li Weiyi glanced at Zuoqiu Hongting beside her, who looked completely indifferent, and felt a pang of guilt. Then, her thoughts drifted far away.

Li Weiyi said, "I'll leave the staff and spear with you for now. When necessary, you'll still have to be Li Weiyi."

“Actually, I could also be a willow tree, but a peach wood staff would suit me better,” Zuoqiu Hongting said with a smile.

Li Weiyi's heart stirred, and he thought that this suggestion was not bad. Only by mixing truth and falsehood could the enemy not be able to figure it out.

They returned to the Jiuli tribe's ship.

Li Weiyi went to the bottom cabin and secluded himself in the room where Master Coffin was. Then, he activated the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish and entered the Blood Mud Space.

The coffin maker and the spirit tablet maker also entered.

He fed the five-thousand-year-old elixir to the seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Kings. Li Weiyi took out the "Earth Origin Essence Chapter" from the "Earth Book" and gave it to Master Coffin to study. With this method, Master Coffin's recovery speed would surely increase greatly.

Over the next period of time, Li Weiyi wove a cocoon of time and used the Transcendent Bone to refine the Earth Sword Talisman.

The Transcendent Bone Earth Sword Talisman will be more durable and sharper, and will not shatter easily.

At the same time, under the guidance of his spirit tablet master, he also attempted to refine the Heavenly Sword Talisman.

Time passes day by day.

From Moon Dragon Island to Nine Ring Reef, a distance of nearly 30,000 li, the ships, propelled by the formation, took a full eleven days to reach their destination.

Two months have passed within the cocoon of time.

……

Nine Atolls are nine small islands and reefs in the deep sea area of ​​the East China Sea.

Standing on the deck and gazing into the distance, one can see massive bronze pillars atop the islands and reefs. The portion of these pillars protruding above the ground is hundreds of feet high, a truly awe-inspiring sight.

The primordial energy of the East Sea continuously converged on the bronze pillar, condensing into electric sparks.

The thunder continued incessantly.

Those are the nine dragon-locking pillars erected by Daogong and Du'e Temple, each as heavy as a mountain.

This place is far removed from the realm of Lingxiao, and parts of the sea are shrouded in the dark power of the Netherworld of the Dead, where there is no daylight, only eternal darkness. Countless evil demons roam the sea, possessing low intelligence and ferocious natures.

The Jiuli tribe's ships followed Zuoqiu Menting's fleet, heading towards the waters where Fengshi Reef was located.

The older generation of powerful figures, led by Chao Ran, have all entered the underground world.

The coffin maker and the spirit tablet maker were also secretly taken underground by the old man.

The sky was covered with low, thick, dark clouds.

At the behest of Zhu Qishier and Tang Zhan, representatives from various regions and states gathered at the Zhu Clan's Red Jade Ancient Ship to discuss their next course of action.

Asking for a monthly ticket!
