The Primordial Law

Chapter 526 Strange Changes in the East Sea, Deep Within the Netherworld

"To return to Lingxiao Realm, we must head south. But the south is blocked by the army of the dead, so I must first go west and circle back through the Netherworld of the Dead." The stone coffin flew swiftly across the sea, and the coffin master said this.

Away from the battlefield, everyone's emotions gradually calmed down.

Ancient recluses, Li Minong, and the high priest of Mohai all took elixirs to heal their injuries.

Qin Lao looked at Li Weiyi meaningfully: "Once Yu'er's identity is revealed, you will inevitably be caught in the eye of the storm. What are your plans next?"

Li Weiyi understood immediately, knowing that if he stayed in Lingxiao Realm any longer, he would face endless troubles.

The Grand Palace Master's side is also an uncertain factor.

Yin Jun had remained silent, worried about the safety of Cang Li, Li Ling, and other members of the Jiuli clan and the hidden members of the Hidden Sect. Upon hearing Qin Lao's words, he couldn't help but say, "Of course he's going to Lingxiao City to take up an official position; after all, he's a favorite of the Grand Palace Master. Chief, are we just going to leave like this?"

"I'll take you to a safe place and then go back to get the others. You are the pillars and foundation of the Jiuli tribe, and we cannot afford to lose you."

The voice from the stone coffin had barely faded when it was followed by a soft exclamation.

Golden streaks appeared on the surface of the sea below.

These golden patterns seem to be reflected from the seabed. The patterns become more numerous and brighter.

A moment later, golden mist appeared over the entire sea area within sight, stretching as far as the eye could see. Though in the East China Sea, one could see not the sea, but only the golden mist.

Everyone was stunned, sensing a change in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which had become imbued with an aura similar to that of a six-clawed immortal dragon.

Is this some kind of celestial energy surging from underground?

"It's not as dense, but it far surpasses the magical energy in the Heavenly Law Spring. This is incredible. What strange thing lies beneath the East Sea?"

……

Li Weiyi's gaze shifted from the golden clouds shrouding the sea below to the sky. He discovered that in the far distance, rays of light were shooting straight into the heavens.

The scope of this anomaly is likely far beyond what we imagined.

"Seniors, are you aware of the Ancient Immortal Dragon Vein?"

Li Wei then recounted his and Wu Hongling's encounters in the underground world, naturally concealing the "Book of the Earth" and the Immortal-Seeking Pearl.

"What? An ancient immortal dragon vein?"

"If this is truly an ancient immortal dragon vein, it will cause an upheaval of heaven and earth!"

All the old folks of the Jiuli tribe were in an uproar. This news was absolutely earth-shattering, even more shocking than the appearance of Yu Yaozi.

"Boom!"

The entire sea below suddenly began to shake violently, with waves tens of feet high, crashing against the golden mist.

Everyone fell silent, not daring to speak, knowing that something must have changed in the East Sea. The excavation of the ancient immortal dragon's remains was a truly momentous event.

"Could it be that Yu Yaozi and Qilin Zang's underground battle has disturbed some taboo?" The High Priest of Mo Hai took out three coins, preparing to cast a divination.

Inside the stone coffin, the coffin maker said, "She's catching up!"

"Who?" Li Weiyi asked.

"Wow!"

The shimmering light illuminated the horizon, and a magnificent phoenix quickly caught up with the stone coffin.

Yu'er flew amidst the phoenix's light and shadow, holding a sword in one hand and grabbing Li Weiyi's wrist with the other: "Come with me."

She was incredibly fast; the stone coffin couldn't catch up.

Li Weiyi was completely enveloped in spiritual light, unable to see the outside world, and couldn't even open his eyes. He heard a series of long howls behind him: "Yu Yaozi, return my Life Spring!"

"Leave the phoenix tree."

“If we catch up with her, her Heavenly Elixir of the Other Shore is at the Zen Sea Mist, where there is no magical energy to mobilize, so she is not invincible.”

……

Gradually, the sounds from behind disappeared.

Yu'er stared straight ahead and flew at an extremely fast speed.

Li Weiyi pondered silently what had happened, but had no clue. He asked the other party repeatedly, but they didn't answer at all, as if they couldn't hear him.

After flying for an unknown period of time, the spiritual light on Yu'er's body gradually faded until it completely dissipated.

She closed her eyes and fell to the ground.

"Grand Palace Master, Yu Yaozi, Yu'er..."

As the feeling of weightlessness came over him, Li Weiyi called out repeatedly. Then, he released his magical energy to condense gaseous wings, embraced her, and slowly landed on the ground.

Clang.

The Yellow Dragon Sword slipped from her hand and fell to the ground.

"What's going on?"

Li Weiyi quickly put the Yellow Dragon Sword into the Wind Mansion, held Yu'er in his arms, and looked around.

They discovered that the world was pitch black, the temperature was cold, and the air was thick with yin energy. As far as the eye could see, there was no obstruction for dozens of miles; it was an endless plain.

Only black thorns could be seen on the ground, with no other vegetation.

This isn't nighttime at all.
She had clearly led him to the depths of the Netherworld.

From the depths of darkness, a hoarse, eerie cry echoed. A serpentine black shadow, tens of meters long, slithered through the air, its cry sounding like that of a hoarse old man. It was a malevolent spirit drawn there by the yang energy emanating from them.

Li Weiyi took out the Sun-Avoiding Pearl and the Invisibility Clothes, and chose a direction to escape.

They had to leave as soon as possible. Although Chao Ran might not be as fast as Yu Yao Zi, he could still track their presence. Therefore, Li Weiyi dared not release his magical energy and instead traveled on foot.

After running three hundred miles and shaking off the python-like black shadow in mid-air, Li Weiyi used the "Forward" technique to disappear into the depths of the earth.

He didn't know much about the Netherworld of the Dead and dared not venture in recklessly, fearing he might enter a forbidden zone of death. He decided to hide underground for a while first.

Reaching a depth of several hundred meters underground, Li Weiyi glanced at Yu'er, whose eyes were tightly closed, and felt a sudden, intense headache. She must have stolen some powerful treasure from the ruins of Dragon City, attracting a horde of enemies who were after her.

Being hunted down was bad enough, but they dragged him, a martial artist at the Dao Seed Realm, away and into the extremely dangerous Netherworld of the Dead.

All of that is fine, but the key point is that she actually fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

Li Weiyi said she couldn't handle such a huge mess.

Li Weiyi searched Yu'er's body but found no treasures, including the bright blue bead she always carried, which was nowhere to be found.

Li Weiyi guessed that she had taken it into the ancestral field or the spirit world.

"Forget it, let's hide in the Blood Mud Space first and wait for her to wake up. Even if the Transcendent finds her, at least she won't be killed on the spot."

Li Weiyi activated the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish, and with Yu'er in tow, he vanished into the Blood Mud Space.

"Wow!"

Stepping onto the blood-red soil and looking at the vast space before him, Li Weiyi's anxious heart finally calmed down.

Once the tension subsided, the internal injuries surged back like a tidal wave, causing excruciating pain and blurred vision.

Gritting his teeth and persevering, Li Weiyi placed Yu'er on the jade boat, which was over thirty meters long, and took off his governor's robe, draping it over her.

He then looked at Yao Yin and Yin Twenty-Four, who had been sealed away and thrown into the Blood Mud Space.

The two of them lay on the blood-soaked ground, their heads covered with black cloth bags that sealed off their senses.

The reason for doing so at the time was that I did not want to expose the Blood Mud Space.

Li Weiyi led them into the jade boat and set up an array to shield them from the outside world. Then, he removed the black cloth bags from their heads.

To Li Weiyi's surprise, they were wide awake with their eyes open.

"Let me make this clear first, don't ask why. For the next period of time, you will stay on this ship and are not allowed to go anywhere."

After saying this, Li Weiyi released the seals on their bodies.

Once Yin Twenty-Four regained his mobility, he immediately asked, "Why were we sealed away?"

Li Weiyi said, "Just do whatever the Hidden Man tells you to do, don't ask questions. Don't you understand the rules of the Hidden Sect?"

Yao Yin, still wearing her veil, surveyed her surroundings. She could only see the array's light veil and Yu'er lying on the bow of the ship. She asked in a clear voice, "Where is this place? How long are we going to stay? Have we escaped the East Sea?"

Seeing that Yao Yin's tone was so gentle, Li Weiyi finally explained it to her.

"I don't know how long we'll have to stay; it depends on when Yu'er wakes up. You two should stay here and cultivate in seclusion to digest the Six-Clawed Immortal Dragon Qi you absorbed at Nine Ring Reef. Don't worry, we won't kidnap you; we'll take you back."

Li Weiyi stepped out of the array's veil of light, and immediately felt dizzy, his injuries were hard to suppress, and he was exhausted.

"We must never get involved in this level of opportunity competition again unless absolutely necessary. The lives of even the giants of the Longevity Realm are as worthless as grass."

This trip to the East China Sea was far more dangerous than anticipated.

Fortunately, he obtained the Longevity Flower, the Qi of the Six-Clawed Immortal Dragon, Immortal Scriptures, and the Source Light of the Dragon Soul... It can be considered that fortune and wealth are found in danger.

With unwavering willpower, Li Weiyi supported her injured body, weaving a cocoon of time to begin healing her wounds.

Six days later.

The injuries were fully healed, and the blue and red petals of the immortal flower were completely digested.

Li Weiyi did not continue cultivating and went to sleep immediately.

After sleeping for two days and two nights, he was full of energy and vitality, his blood and qi were vigorous, his skin had a luster similar to that of a pure immortal martial artist, and his muscles and internal organs were tough and strong.

"Bang bang!"

On the sea off Tanggu, Li Weiyi practiced the Twelve Scattered Hands of the Chan Sect three times in a row, his movements exhilarating and the sea roaring incessantly.

"It is said that a fully immortal body will generate a torrent of blood energy within its body, greatly increasing its physical strength, thus enabling it to directly confront martial artists in the Longevity Realm."

"Right now, it seems that I haven't yet generated a torrent of blood and qi; I can only be considered 99% of a long-lived being."

"Now that my physical strength has greatly improved, even without using the combination of martial arts and mental techniques, defeating top experts like Sheng Wulian and Si Wuyan is no longer a difficult task."

"Having studied the Earth Origin Essence Chapter and with the blood energy of the Lesser Yang Star as an aid, cultivating that torrent of blood energy shouldn't be difficult."

Returning to the Blood Mud Space, Li Weiyi went to the Jade Boat and exchanged views with Yao Yin and Yin Twenty-Four. Then, he once again wove the Cocoon of Time and devoted himself to refining the Six-Clawed Immortal Dragon Qi in the Wind Mansion and digesting the Immortal Scriptures.

At the same time, he swallowed the Polar Day True Pill that Yao Yin had bought for him before, and absorbed the radiance emitted by the "Book of Bright Stars and Mornings" to enhance his spiritual power.

Li Weiyi didn't want to avoid pulling Yaoyin and Yin Ershisi into the Time Cocoon; in fact, she trusted them. Her concern wasn't that they couldn't keep the secret, but rather that they might be subjected to soul-searching.

time flies.

Two months had passed since Li Weiyi arrived in the Blood Mud Space. He had spent a year in seclusion cultivating using the Time Cocoon. The rest of his time was spent with Yao Yin and Yin Twenty-Four, as well as practicing his moves and Taoist arts at Tanggu Sea.
