The Primordial Law

Chapter 501 Ninety-nine percent of the Golden Bones are in place; the Two Phoenixes achieve merit again.

"If he absorbs enough of the Six-Clawed Immortal Dragon's Qi and refines it into the seventy-three Heavenly Son's Bones, his bones will contain immortal Qi. Even without cultivating a Longevity Body, he can still fight against the weakest Longevity Realm martial artist."

Zuoqiu Hongting participated in the discussion under the identity of "Liu Fengshu".

"Si Wuyan has been severely injured and is no longer a threat in the short term. If the Longevity Flower is born again, then the Underworld Dragon Prince and Bai Yeqing will be our biggest competitors."

Princess Dengfeng then suggested assassinating Prince Mingjiao.

She claims that powerful members of the Jiao clan have already submitted to her, allowing her to launch surprise attacks without anyone noticing. She offers to concede all the treasures to Li Weiyi and the "Willow Phoenix Tree."

Li Weiyi knew perfectly well what Princess Dengfeng was plotting.
Prince Mingjiao and Bai Yeqing seized three islands, while she only had one.

There are many demonic beasts following the jellyfish clan; one island is simply not enough. The demonic beasts below will surely question her ability as their leader.

If the Nether Dragon Prince is assassinated, Bai Yeqing will have no choice but to join forces with her to fight against the Du'e Temple and the Rice Palace. At that time, she will surely be given an island reef.

Her move was a double-edged sword.

Li Weiyi, not wanting to be used, pondered for a moment: "Si Wuyan and Fu Wenyan are our biggest enemies right now. Before dealing with them, we shouldn't make any more enemies. As far as I know, Inamiya is not a monolithic entity, and many people are eyeing the position of the true disciple. We can use this to our advantage and kill someone with a borrowed knife."

"You mean Wu Hongling?"

Princess Dengfeng smiled and stared at "Liu Fengshu," believing that the red silk in Li Weiyi's hand was taken by "Liu Fengshu" from Wu Hongling.

After all, the two had been missing for some time.

Zuoqiu Hongting, who resembled Liu Fengshu, looked at Li Weiyi with a smile and curiosity.

Li Weiyi had done nothing wrong and had a clear conscience: "Your Highness, you could try telling Wu Hongling that Si Wuyan is seriously injured. The sisters might take advantage of the situation to make a move."

“I’m afraid they don’t have the courage,” Princess Dengfeng said.

Li Weiyi added, "We can also spread the news that Wu Hongling obtained a heaven-defying opportunity at the bottom of the sea and that her strength is no less than that of the young emperor at the same level."

The commotion that erupted on the seabed in the area around Moon Dragon Island was unknown to other creatures, but Princess Lantern Phoenix certainly knew some of the inside story.

Princess Dengfeng laughed and said, "You really are quite cunning!"

"your Highness!"

……

The powerful demons, including Turtle Scholar and Prince Baba, led a massive army of demon beasts to the scene. They all breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that Princess Lantern Phoenix was safe and sound.

"Everyone need not worry. Si Wuyan has been severely injured by me and my friends from the Jiuli tribe and has fled for his life. His so-called true disciple is truly unworthy of the name. If you encounter Inamiya martial arts practitioners in the future, tell them to find a true disciple as soon as possible, so that Si Wuyan will not be able to embarrass himself again."

Princess Dengfeng spoke loudly to boost morale.

The demonic beast army roared loudly, as if they had won a battle.

On the way back to Nine Ring Reef, Li Weiyi and Princess Dengfeng finalized their cooperation plans. Neither of them mentioned the "Book of the Earth," but instead talked about legends such as "Yujia" and "Phoenix Tree Dragon City."

"Legend has it that Yu Jia drank from the Mother-Child Spring and gave birth to Feilong and Feifeng."

"As for the Mother-Child Spring, it is said that it was originally located under a phoenix tree in Dragon City, and after many changes, it was finally obtained by the Holy Infant."

Li Weiyi asked, "Does the Dragon City in the mirage really exist?"

Princess Dengfeng gently shook her head, indicating that she did not know: "Yu Jia has been gone for almost ten thousand years. It is too long ago, long enough to bury all the truth. Many things are just rumors and fragments. Even if there was once such a magnificent ancient city in the East Sea, it has long been buried by the earth and turned into ruins."

Li Weiyi said, "The origin of the Princess's Fire Spring seems to be quite extraordinary. Si Wuyan said that it is as famous as the Wisdom Spring and the Mother-Child Spring."

Princess Dengfeng felt that this Jiuli Hermit had no sense of boundaries. They weren't familiar enough to talk about anything, so she replied casually, "If he were really that powerful, how could he not burn a Dao Seed Realm martial artist to death? He only shouted that to use someone else to kill him and sow discord between us."

Back to Nine Atolls.

Li Weiyi instructed the three clan leaders and four priests to be wary of the Daogong's retaliation and assassination attempts. Afterward, he entered the Blood Mud Space to go into seclusion and refine the petals of the Longevity Flower.

"Wow!"

A cocoon of time was woven, enveloping him and the seven phoenix-winged moth queens.

The golden heart-shaped petals, as if cast from gold, are thin yet weigh over a pound.

The fragrance is rich, and the golden rays are like wisps of cotton yarn.

According to Zuoqiu Hongting, it must first be refined with magical energy before it can be swallowed.

"Chichi!"

The magical energy of the Seven-Clawed Flaming Heavenly Dragon surged from his palms, and the small space between his hands transformed into a cauldron that enveloped the petals, gradually refining them into a liquid state.

Only a tiny drop.

It is the size of a soybean, like a pill.

Li Weiyi absorbed and swallowed it, and immediately his body felt as if it had been set on fire. His abdomen burned with pain, as if thousands of fiery streams were flowing and burning through his internal organs.

The medicine was potent, and golden light emanated from the body, shooting out from every pore.

The pain is transmitted to the bones.

It felt as if every bone in my body was being roasted by fire, burning hot like a red-hot iron block.

This is the result after refining and consuming it!
If swallowed directly without being refined, one can imagine how violent the reaction would be. Unable to withstand it, one would perish by self-immolation.

The three petals of the Everlasting Flower have different effects, and normally they need to be taken together in combination.

Crimson petals, used to cultivate blood, qi, muscles, and internal organs.

Blue petals, forging tendons and shaping skin.

Li Weiyi's physical body had already been cultivated to a level of over 70% of the life force, which is why he dared to consume all the droplets of the golden petals at once to temper his 99% golden bones.

Those whose physical bodies are not strong enough need to swallow it in several doses.

"Crack."

The bones grew stronger at an incredible speed, becoming increasingly hot, far exceeding the strength of flesh, tendons, and skin.

The transformation lasted for four whole days.

The golden light around Li Weiyi gradually dissipated, and he felt his body become incredibly solid, his spine like a mountain peak, and his arms like divine bridges, as if he could hold up the sky even if it collapsed.

As the strength of his golden bones increased to 99% of that of a longevity body, his physical defense greatly improved. In battle, he could completely withstand attacks from magical artifacts used by martial arts practitioners.

Strength improvement was minimal. Muscles, blood circulation, and tendons remained at their original levels.

You need both blue and red petals.

"The Longevity Flower is too mysterious, it can be called the number one miraculous medicine in the Dao Seed Realm. If another one appears, we must seize it at all costs."

Li Weiyi threw the six Phoenix-Winged Moth Kings into the Blood Mud Space and left with only the two phoenixes.

The Immortal-Seeking Pearl within Erfeng's body allows her to sense the aura of the Six-Clawed Immortal Dragon and the birth of the Longevity Flower in advance. With this advantage, Li Weiyi can get there before everyone else and collect them.

On the deck, Yu'er practiced the Twelve Scattered Techniques of the Chan Sect. Her movements were precise and she worked diligently. However, they had no real power; they were all just techniques.

Li Weiyi forbids everyone from practicing with her.

Zuoqiu Hongting stood by the railing on the deck, dressed as a man, holding a folding fan, her hair ribbon fluttering in the wind, standing gracefully: "How can you be such a master? Yu'er is so diligent and eager to learn, can't you teach her breathing techniques and meditation methods? If you're going to keep it to yourself, you can give her to me as a disciple."

Li Weiyi stared at her, sighing inwardly.

If Zuoqiu Hongting knew that Yu'er was the Grand Palace Master, would she be able to get over it in her heart?
It should be noted that Zuoqiu Hongting's father had always regarded the Grand Palace Master as his father's killer because Xiao Tianling died in Lingxiao City.

Li Weiyi said, "You don't understand! This is a special cultivation method of our sect. The Twelve Scattered Hands of the Chan Sect must be cultivated for at least ten or twenty years before one can come into contact with martial arts and open up more meridians and forge golden meridians like me, so that one's cultivation can progress by leaps and bounds."

"These twelve freehand techniques are for repeatedly tempering the body and improving one's natural talent and physical constitution. We can't rush to build a building; we should spend more time laying a solid foundation."

Zuoqiu Hongting was moved and pondered deeply, eventually believing this statement.

After Yu'er finished practicing, she took out paper and pen and silently wrote down what Li Weiyi had said. She maintained the habit of writing down her notes every day even better than Li Weiyi.

Zuoqiu Hongting and Li Weiyi walked on the waves and climbed onto Fengshi Reef.

On the island, dozens of martial arts practitioners from Lingxiao Realm gathered, and they all stepped forward to pay their respects and bow. The older generation of experts were no exception.

Ultimately, strength is the only true measure of success.

Zuoqiu Hongting said, "Princess Dengfeng is very cunning and cannot be trusted completely. She claims that Liu Fengshu and Wu Hongling have an extraordinary relationship and are enemies on the surface, but in reality they have formed an alliance to seize the true succession of the Life Without Love and Death Without Sorrow. She wants Ina Palace to regard us as their greatest enemy."

Li Weiyi knew Princess Dengfeng's cunning and scheming nature all too well: "Among all the forces gathered at Nine Ring Reef, including those within the Lingxiao Realm, the primary relationship is competition. Cooperation comes second."

"Cooperation is driven by survival and interests; it is a choice made out of necessity."

"So, there's no need to take it too seriously. Our main goal is to absorb the energy of the Six-Clawed Immortal Dragon and raise our cultivation level."

Today is a sunny and breezy day.

Li Weiyi studied the island's array patterns and the dragon-locking pillar on Phoenix Rock Reef for two hours.

Erfeng transmitted her thoughts: "The Immortal Seeking Pearl is aware of this; it is located sixty miles to the east."

Li Weiyi was overjoyed. He grabbed the clueless Zuoqiu Hongting, and they transformed into two streaks of light, heading east.

The martial arts practitioners on Phoenix Rock Reef were all bewildered and puzzled.

Not to mention them, even Zuoqiu Hongting, who was being pulled away, kept asking Li Weiyi what she was going to do.

The sea was calm and still.

Nothing unusual.

"Ow!"

Suddenly, a deep dragon's roar came from the bottom of the water.

The sea was ablaze.

Then, celestial clouds soared into the sky, shrouded in mist and light, condensing into strands of six-clawed celestial dragon energy.

"Quickly collect and absorb it."

Li Weiyi released the Seven-Clawed Flaming Heavenly Dragon Dao Heart Manifestation of the Wind Mansion. One after another, heavenly dragons rushed out, covering the entire sea area and continuously devouring the Qi of the Six-Clawed Immortal Dragon.

"You're becoming more and more unfathomable to me. How did you know in advance?"

Zuoqiu Hongting released the external manifestation of her Dao heart; the Dharma energy flying out from the ancestral field took the form of a five-clawed true dragon.

The young emperor who cultivated various paths to overcome tribulations and observe dragons all reached the level of a five-clawed true dragon.

Li Weiyi and Zuoqiu Hongting absorbed most of the Six-Clawed Immortal Dragon's energy before the martial artists from the other islands and reefs arrived one after another.

The two of them did not use any magical artifacts to collect it. Firstly, the amount of six-clawed immortal dragon energy emanating from the seabed was not large. They did not fully absorb it because the sea surface was too vast.

Secondly, they didn't want to become the target of public criticism.

We need to leave some for others.

"go!"

Before the arrival of the many powerful figures, Li Weiyi pulled Zuoqiu Hongting and fled first.

Back on the ship, the two sat down to meditate and refine their energy.

An hour later, their cultivation levels had all improved significantly.

Zuoqiu Hongting, her body glowing with radiant light and brimming with energy, said with delight, "Absorbing the energy of the Six-Clawed Immortal Dragon, I feel that even before reaching the Longevity Realm, the magical energy within my body will transform into the form of a Six-Clawed Immortal Dragon. As a martial artist practicing the Dragon Path, my cultivation will surely advance by leaps and bounds during this trip to the East Sea."

For the next two days, Li Weiyi and Zuoqiu Hongting waited on Fengshi Reef every day.

Once Erfeng sends word, the two rush over immediately to grab the lion's share.

It's not that I didn't want to invite other people.

The others either lacked the strength or had already reached the peak of the ninth level of cultivation.

Those who lack sufficient strength risk perishing. Even peak Ninth Heaven experts with only a small amount of Six-Clawed Immortal Dragon Qi are utterly incapable of breaking through to the Longevity Realm.

However, by the third day, everyone had already noticed something amiss.

Realizing that Li Weiyi and Zuoqiu Hongting must have a way to predict in advance when and where the Six-Clawed Immortal Dragon's aura would overflow.

At noon that day, Fengshi Reef was packed with people, their heads bobbing as they waited for Li Weiyi and his companion to arrive.

In the distant sea, figures of powerful figures from various forces appeared—a dragon, a demon, and a rice man—all closely watching Li Weiyi's every move. Even the Du'e Temple and Princess Dengfeng dispatched Yaoyin and the Water Lily Fairy respectively to inquire.
