The Primordial Law

Chapter 512 Tang Wanzhou and the Dragon Gate Longevity

Liu Ye's expression turned serious: "It seems someone is tracking us. The previous battle alerted many potential enemies."

Zuoqiu Hongting held her breath and said, "That Daoist-robed expert just now was Qi Jianru from the Du'e Temple. It is said that his cultivation has reached the second stage of the Longevity Realm. He is extremely famous and a true master. Before Yao Yin appeared, he was one of the most likely people to become a true disciple of the Du'e Temple. Presumably, it was Fu Wenyan's dying cry that startled him out."

Li Weiyi had met Qi Jianru: "If he is searching for and rescuing Fu Wenyan, I have to admire him a bit."

The three donned invisibility cloaks, concealed their presence, and took a detour to the east before continuing south.

The entire underground space is an ancient burial ground for immortals, and along the way, we can see many traces of ancient civilization.

Ancient dragon patterns mottled on the cliff face, abandoned sacrificial pits, fallen stone beasts...

In some of these places, one can see the horrific traces of battle.

The blade cleaved the hill, its intent condensing and refusing to dissipate. Claw marks tore through the earth, the claw prints larger than Li Weiyi's body.

“The underground space is too dangerous. It's a gathering place for giants of the Longevity Realm, and if a transcendent being from the Netherworld Realm were to intrude, the consequences would be unimaginable. We need to travel south for a while and then find a way to break through the rock dome and leave immediately,” Zuoqiu Hongting said.

"To escape and fight against the receding tide, one needs at least the cultivation level of the Longevity Realm."

Li Weiyi thought of the underwater space he and Wu Hongling had entered. Was this place connected to that place?

The distance between them is more than 20,000 miles.

"Boom."

In the distance, a rumbling sound came from the ground, like a chariot moving about.

The sound of the wheels and axles was like thunder. If it were a chariot, how huge would it be?

Zuoqiu Hongting immediately unleashed a concealment array flag from behind a hill. Li Weiyi took out a Thousand-Mile Travel Talisman and held it between his fingers.

Willow leaves urged the sage's ink sea to envelop the three... four people.

When facing a giant from the realm of immortality, hiding and escaping are the first choices.

"Awooo! Awooo..."

The roars of dragons rose and fell, like ten thousand dragons galloping, creating a magnificent spectacle.

Getting closer.

The three hid behind the hill, unable to see what was happening. All they could see was a cold, blue light shining from afar.

A terrifying chill swept over the land, freezing it solid.

"Boom."

The chassis crushed the air, creating explosive gusts as it raced over hills.

If Li Wei dared to climb the hill and look into the distance, he would see that the fleeing carriage was being pulled by the souls of five snow dragons. The carriage was as large as a palace, shrouded in array runes and array light, like a cloud of gods.

The soul of each snow dragon is incredibly powerful, no less so than that of a real dragon.

This is a royal chariot ridden by an ancient emperor. Its defensive capabilities and speed are fully unleashed, leaving ordinary immortals helpless against it.

A dragon-scaled ancient sword, seven zhang long and one zhang wide, produced a hundred-zhang-long azure dragon light and shadow when it flew, crashing through layers of atmospheric walls and striking the fleeing vehicle.

"boom!"

The array of light from the vehicle frame burst forth, blocking the Dragon Scale Ancient Sword. However, the power emanating from the ancient sword caused it to lose its balance, flip over, and crash into a low hill.

The ground shook violently, and the place where the vehicle frame fell was only four miles away from Li Weiyi and his two companions.

Long Ju descended from the sky, landing on the carriage frame and causing it to sink three feet further, giving Tang Wanzhou no chance to continue driving. He snorted, "What a wonderful treasure for escaping! It's a pity that it's only pulled by five two-clawed pythons, and the formation was added later. It can't compare to the real imperial carriage."

The souls of the five snow dragons were suppressed by Long Ju's immortal soul, and they lay on the ground howling in agony.

Long Ju is a top-tier expert in Longmen. He is three zhang tall and has dragon horns. He is not a deformed human but a half-demon, with the bloodlines of Yu Jia and Fei Long flowing through his veins.

Ten thousand years ago, Yu Jia drank from the Zi Mu Spring and gave birth to a flying dragon and a flying phoenix.

Three thousand years ago, a flying dragon drank from the Mother-Child Spring and gave birth to the Qilin Zang.

However, Feilong did not only have Qilinzang as a descendant. In an earlier era, he had offspring with a human woman. Longmen was the family of that human woman, and the entire family were Feilong's servants.

The Holy Spirit Master of Huaiyi, Tantai Jinyun, was already two hundred and seventy years old. He sat on the back of a strange, shelled insect the size of a yellow ox, holding a jade staff, and chased after them from mid-air along a luminous spiritual river.

His face was covered with wrinkles, and his long gray hair was draped over his cheeks. His voice was hoarse: "Tang Wanzhou was able to reach the second stage of the Longevity Realm in just forty years. Her combat strength is no less than that of the true disciples of the ancient sect. She must have some heaven-defying opportunity. The higher-ups have given orders that she is on the kill list."

"Above? Who is above? Is it the Dragon Gate Patriarch Long Huitian, or Qilin Zang, or perhaps someone above him?"

Tang Wanzhou's voice echoed in the valley.

Before the Five Dragon Jade Chariot overturned and crashed to the ground, she flew out first, her body slamming into the mountain valley.

Unable to escape, Long Ju's "Nine Heavens Dragon Pool Sword" was planted in the ground, fixing the terrain within a radius of dozens of miles.

Tang Wanzhou was badly injured, his black robes soaked in blood, his face covered in dust, his jade crown shattered, and his long black hair flowing down his back. He looked both wretched and tragically beautiful.

He gripped the Divine Snow Sword tightly, its imposing presence like an unyielding plum branch beneath a snow-capped mountain, standing on the shattered earth in the valley.

She glanced at Long Ju and Tantai Jinyun above her left and right, and said with feigned ease, "How could a proud daughter of heaven like me not possess extraordinary killing moves? If you want to kill me, who will die first?"

Bai Hao of Baiyi was a giant of the Deformed Human Race in the Longevity Realm, with a pair of huge wings tens of meters long on his back. He flew out from the clouds: "Don't be scared by her! I just received news that she has already used the power given to her by Tang Shituo at the Immortal Tomb to kill several giants of the Demon Race in the Longevity Realm and steal a rare treasure."

"How do you know I don't have a second move?" Tang Wanzhou asked.

"I have dominated the world for two hundred years. How could I be intimidated by a little girl like you? If you have more, then use them. Lord Longju, you should retreat to a distance and stop her from escaping. I will force her to use her so-called second move."

Bai Hao, wielding a long spear, fearlessly charged downwards.

More than three thousand scriptures emerged from the long spear, its power vast and mighty.

With a single thrust of the spear, the sky collapsed and the earth caved in.

Both are Rank 3 Thousand-Character Weapons, but their power differs drastically depending on whether they are wielded by a Longevity Realm expert or a Dao Seed Realm martial artist. Ultimately, having a Thousand-Character Weapon in the hands of a Dao Seed Realm martial artist is a pure waste.

"Sever the mountain!"

Tang Wanzhou unleashed the Immortal Slaughtering Divine Snow Fourteen Swords. With a single swing, the sword's cry echoed for hundreds of miles, piercingly loud.

"boom!"

The sword's edge collided with the spear that pierced the earth, and the energy ripples caused the surrounding rocks to explode, with the sound of explosions echoing outwards in circles.

Tang Wanzhou retreated more than ten steps, each step covering ten zhang (approximately 33 meters), leaving cracks all around her footprints. Already injured, she took this blow head-on, which only worsened her condition, and blood gushed from her mouth.

Tang Wanzhou's eyes were solemn, his fighting spirit undiminished, as he secretly pondered whether Bai Hao was truly brave and fearless, or whether he had truly seen through her true nature.

"You canary kept in the Northern Territory, where's your trump card?"

Bai Hao folded his wings and landed, then swung his spear and slashed out.

The spear shaft transformed into the thickness of a tree trunk, radiating divine light and flashing scriptures, sending Tang Wanzhou flying more than a mile away before his body crashed into a low hill.

With Long Ju in charge, Bai Hao was not afraid of luring Da Changsheng over, and he made decisive moves and fought without restraint.

Long Ju remained atop the jade carriage the entire time, never retreating, his gaze sweeping across the vast, dimly lit underground space.

"boom!"

Tang Wanzhou broke through the low hill, transformed into a sword light, and soared into the sky.

"Young lord, don't go."

With a flick of his finger, Tantai Jinyun created an array seal with a diameter of one mile in mid-air, knocking Tang Wanzhou back to the ground.

The group of people hiding in the concealment formation were all extremely nervous. They had considered the possibility of encountering a giant in the Longevity Realm, but they had not expected to encounter such a powerful being.

Zuoqiu Hongting's face was quite pale. She said in a low voice, "Long Ju is the Great Immortal of the Dragon Gate. He is a war god-like existence who has been in charge of the Lingxiao Realm for hundreds of years. Tang Wanzhou was intercepted by him and the bigwigs among the Three Islands bandits. He will probably die today. I dare to say that she has no so-called killing move and is just bluffing."

The fourth realm and above are known as the Great Longevity Realm, and almost all of them are people who are over two or three hundred years old.

"You seem quite regretful?" Li Weiyi asked.

Zuoqiu Hongting smiled bitterly: "What? You think I would want her to be killed? Zuoqiu Menting and Xuejian Tangting are indeed rivals, but that's at the family level, a competition of interests between the major powers in the Southern and Northern territories. From a personal perspective, Tang Wanzhou can be considered the greatest talent in the Lingxiao Realm in a thousand years. His talent and intellect are both top-notch, and I admire him very much."

"There are far more enemies who want to kill her in her infancy than those who want to kill you, yet she has managed to live on with such sharpness, growing stronger with each passing year, seemingly determined to use that sharpness to reach the pinnacle of power. You can see how capable she is."

“When I was six or seven years old, my family teacher often told us stories of her adventures, using her as a role model to inspire us.”

"I've dreamed of one day fighting her on the battlefield, defeating her on behalf of the Southern Territory. But I've never cursed her or wished for her to be killed. How could someone with such a cowardly nature become a strong person in the future?"

Liu Ye nodded slightly, admiringly saying, "Lingxiao Realm truly lives up to its reputation as welcoming a golden generation. Just based on Miss Zuoqiu's bold words, her future achievements will certainly not be lower than Tang Wanzhou's."

Li Weiyi's mood was heavy, and her eyes were deep and thoughtful.

Given his friendship with Tang Wanzhou, he certainly didn't want her to die here, and he had to find a way to rescue her.

He glanced at Yu'er beside him, then patted the insect bag to check on Da Feng's condition.

Then, to Zuoqiu Hongting's astonishment, Li Weiyi used a disguise technique, his body rapidly expanding and becoming more imposing, his face becoming resolute and domineering, transforming into the appearance of Tang Shituo.

However, it only resembled Tang Shituo by about 60-70%, since he had only seen Tang Shituo's figure and aura from afar, and had only seen his portrait.

The moment Li Weiyi used his disguise technique, Long Ju, standing atop the jade carriage, sensed the subtle fluctuations and coldly shouted, "You've been hiding for so long, why don't you show yourself?"
