The Primordial Law

Chapter 536 The Secret of Immortal Techniques
On the other side, seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Kings sealed off the sea area, slaughtering more than twenty Dao Seed Realm experts from the Bright Rice Realm. To be precise, it was a massacre; the battle was one-sided.

Screams, pleas for mercy, and roars of anger rose and fell across the sea.

Knowing she couldn't escape, Yang Qingxi rushed over immediately, only to be greatly shocked by Li Weiyi's current power. That powerful figure, Kong Xu, had shown absolutely no resistance. Yang Qingxi assumed that Li Weiyi had broken through the shackles of the Feng Mansion and achieved immortality.

He can definitely do what others can't.

Yang Qingxi had an almost blind faith in Li Weiyi.

She and Yang Qingchan held their breath and bowed respectfully: "Congratulations to the Fourth Divine Child on breaking through to the realm of immortality and transcending the mortal world."

Yang Qingxi called her "Fourth Divine Child" in the hope that Li Weiyi would spare her life, remembering their life-and-death friendship at the Rice Sect headquarters.

After taking the three swords and the boundary bag, Li Weiyi tossed the empty corpse into the seawater at his feet and turned his gaze to Yang Qingxi: "Didn't I make myself clear before? The grudges between the Sui Sect and the Jiuli Clan can be separated from our friendship. I have never taken the initiative to deal with the Sui Sect or anyone related to you, have I? During the trip to Old Yuzhou, I thought you were a clear-headed person. But you dared to participate in today's attack. Don't you know that I am the Hermit of the Jiuli Hidden Sect?"

Li Weiyi spoke these words with the power to annihilate emptiness. Even without releasing his mental power to intimidate, Yang Qingxi was still terrified and could no longer stand up straight in front of him.

Yang Qingxi bowed deeply, then knelt on one knee, lowering his posture to the lowest possible level. He did not deliberately feign a pitiful appearance, but spoke with a serious and earnest expression: "I cherish our past friendship. But I had no choice. I am a Dao Ren and a disciple of the Sui Sect. I have orders from above, and I must obey. But I swear, I did not kill anyone. I know that once I took action, there would never be a second chance to resolve our grievances."

Yang Qingchan also knelt on one knee.

Kneeling before an immortal is not a shameful thing.

Martial arts cultivation is inherently hierarchical, with each realm having its own hierarchy.

Two severely injured elders from the Hidden Sect rushed over and bowed deeply to Li Weiyi, showing their heartfelt respect. It was clear that this young hermit was already a figure of great stature.

Li Weiyi ignored the two Yangs kneeling on one knee and asked, "Elders, where is Yin Jun?"

The reclusive elder, who was halfway to immortality, pointed in a direction: "The Hidden Lord was attacked by Yao Qian and Yang Yin. Fortunately, he had a life-saving talisman with him. After escaping, he fled towards the deep sea."

Upon hearing Li Weiyi's summons, the seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Kings each flew over, carrying several boundary bags.

"Of the twenty-six martial artists, only three escaped with serious injuries," Da Feng reported to Li Weiyi before Er Feng could.

Li Weiyi put away all the items in the bag and looked at Yang Qingxi: "You, Miss Yang, are a goddess of the Rice Cult. How arrogant you are! You know that as long as you kneel down, I will definitely soften. You really know how to save your life!"

"Just say the word, and I'll abandon the Rice Cult Goddess and leave with you right now. You should understand, I mean it." Yang Qingxi looked down at the sea, her tone devoid of any emotion.

She knew that any deliberate affectation, no matter how genuine, would seem insincere and would only provoke Li Weiyi's dislike.

“Go and kill the three who escaped, bring me their heads, and I will believe what you said earlier.”

Li Weiyi sent a telepathic message to the two elders of the Hidden Sect, instructing them to return to Lingxiao Realm first. Then, he took the seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Kings and headed towards the deep sea.

He didn't chase them too far, only traversing four hundred miles, before Li Weiyi sensed the fluctuations of magical energy.

The moisture in the sky condenses into snowflakes and falls.

Taoist arts altered the celestial phenomena.

The closer one gets to the center of the battle, the sharper the sword wind becomes, and the snow lashes against one's face, chilling one to the bone.

"Wow!"

Li Weiyi emerged from the spatial void and stormed into the sea area shrouded by the external manifestations of the Daoist hearts of the three Longevity Realm martial cultivators, Yin Jun, Yao Qian, and Yang Yin. He brandished the Yellow Dragon Sword and charged forward.

All three of them spotted him.

When Yin Jun didn't see the Grand Palace Master, he exclaimed "Oh dear!" and transmitted his voice, "What are you doing here? Hurry up and leave. There is a Grand Immortal of the Rice Palace hiding in the shadows."

The fact that the Hidden Lord, despite possessing the official robes of a governor and carrying a life-saving talisman, was unable to escape far suggests that there must be a powerful figure from the Rice Palace nearby. Li Wei had gleaned this information from the words spoken by Yang Qianfeng's corpse earlier.

"If we're going to leave, we'll leave together."

Li Weiyi maintained his speed, releasing his Fengfu magical energy. Seven-clawed fiery dragons circled around him as he shouted, "Daogong Changsheng dares to touch me? The leader and the Grand Palace Master will take his life. If you don't believe me, then try me."

At the same time, he activated the Thousand Mile Travel Talisman, and a layer of talismanic light appeared on his body.

"Li Weiyi, you're too naive. The reason we wanted to capture Li Songgu alive was to lure you out. Do you think the Dao Palace would be afraid of a Grand Palace Master who has turned into a little girl and the leader of the Nine Li who has become a corpse?"

"Shh!"

Yao Qian abandoned Yin Jun, and like a blur, flew across the sea, covering a distance of two miles, and thrust his sword straight at Li Weiyi.

The sword's momentum was overwhelming, with snowflakes flying everywhere and countless sword energies pressing down from all directions, giving Li Weiyi no chance to use the Divine Speed ​​Talisman to escape.

Li Weiyi's eyes suddenly turned cold as he swung his sword to meet the attack, the sword's sound like a dragon's roar.

The sword light transformed into a streak of light, slicing through the flying snow as if splitting the void, and clashed with the incoming sword.

"Oh!"

The two swords clashed, and countless sword energies scattered in all directions.

On the sea, waves several meters high were churned up.

After blocking the sword, the dragon soul flew out from the patch on Li Weiyi's chest.

Yao Qian was caught off guard. His eyes narrowed, and in a rather disheveled manner, he rushed into the water to the right to avoid the dragon soul that suddenly flew out.

Li Weiyi did not pursue. He flew over the Dragon Soul, unleashing the speed of the "Ten Thousand Mile Divine Speed ​​Talisman," grabbed Yin Jun's wrist, and then rushed out without stopping.

Even though he desperately wanted to kill Yao Qian, he remained rational. The speed unleashed by the Thousand Mile Swiftness Talisman was comparable to some extraordinary beings.

Before Yang Yin could react, Li Weiyi, accompanied by Yin Jun, had already appeared dozens of miles away.

"boom!"

Li Weiyi and Yin Jun crashed into an invisible wall, where a powerful figure secretly intervened to prevent their escape.

"Wow!"

The governor's official robes activated, releasing spatial power that transformed into a purple mist that passed through an invisible wall and appeared six or seven miles away.

But after rushing for dozens of miles, they were stopped by an invisible wall.

The person in the shadows possesses extraordinary cultivation and can manipulate magical energy to isolate themselves from the world.

Yin Jun was so angry that his face turned purple. He said, "I told you not to come, but you insisted on coming anyway. Even the Thousand Mile Swiftness Talisman is useless against a powerhouse of this level."

"If you're in danger, how could I not come? I'd come even if it meant going through fire and water." Li Weiyi looked around and spoke to Erfeng, who was perched on his shoulder.

Yin Jun was speechless: "Where is the Grand Palace Master? Quickly, invite him out."

"The Grand Palace Master is not here... Wait for me a moment, I'll be right back."

Li Weiyi stepped on the yellow dragon's light and shadow, soaring dozens of feet high, over the invisible wall, and heading in the direction indicated by Erfeng.

He flew down to the sea sixty miles away and saw An Xianjing sitting cross-legged on a small boat. He clasped his hands in a salute and said, "Please, Lord An, spare our lives."

Upon arriving at this sea area, Erfeng immediately sensed An Xianjing's presence.

It must have been her who intercepted us just now.

An Xianjing, dressed in white and wearing a bamboo hat, bowed her head and held prayer beads in her hands: "You've become quite capable, actually recognizing me and finding me. But, you shouldn't have come. Our fate is over, our karma is settled, and we owe each other nothing. Amitabha!"

The sea here is as smooth as a mirror, a stark contrast to the towering waves on the other side.

Li Weiyi said, "Yang Shenjing himself dared not attack the Jiuli tribe, fearing he might encounter their leader. Therefore, he suggested to Daogong Chaoran that Daogong Chaoran order you, Palace Master An, to play the villain, thus making amends and severing ties with Yao Qingxuan and me. I understand Palace Master An's predicament..."

“You’re so smart, yet you insist on doing something foolish,” An Xianjing said. “If you hadn’t come, I could have turned a blind eye and let you leave. But if you come, you must die.”

Li Weiyi shook his head and said, "No, there is another option! You can close both eyes and leave the rest to me."

An Xianjing raised her head, revealing her frosty eyes: "Capturing Li Songgu is a task assigned by higher-ups, not something I can decide. There are no conditions to negotiate."

Li Weiyi said, "Missions can fail! For example, the Palace Master might encounter the leader of the Nine Li tribe."

"Do you think Yao Qian and Yang Yin are dead?" An Xianjing asked.

Li Weiyi said, "As long as Palace Master An closes both of his eyes, I can try to turn them into dead people."

An Xian smiled calmly: "Who do you think you are? Are you asking me to betray the Rice Cult? To betray the Rice People?"

Li Weiyi explained the situation: "Capturing the Hidden Lord and me will inevitably provoke the Grand Palace Master and the leader of the Nine Li. Behind them are the Hidden Ancestor, the Zuoqiu Clan, and the imperial court."

"Now, the Bright Rice Realm and the Soaring Sky Realm have just reached a truce and need each other. Whoever starts a war will be pushed out to appease public anger and become a scapegoat."

"Yang Shenjing's move is not only aimed at the Jiuli tribe, but also at putting you to death."

An Xianjing asked, "Why did he want to kill me?"

"Regarding the blood letter, you and Suizong have become mortal enemies. Don't forget how the Sheng family patriarch died. Although it was my responsibility, and I harmed Palace Master An, that is the truth."

Li Weiyi walked towards her.

An Xianjing stared at him with a warning look, but Li Weiyi still boarded the small boat and leaned down to whisper in her ear: "Does Palace Master An know why the Earth Wolf King's army suddenly turned against you when you were in Lizhou and wanted to attack the Jiuli tribe?"

"Wasn't the Earth Wolf King Army secretly trained by your Nine Li Hidden Sect? Why are you suddenly bringing this up?" An Xianjing asked.

Li Weiyi said, "I have an opportunity that I wish to give to Palace Master An, which may help you break through to a higher realm and even pursue the title of Martial Emperor. I just don't know how strong Palace Master An is, and whether he is a match for Shi Na'er, the Heavenly King of the Earth Wolf King Army?"

Then Li Weiyi whispered the secret of the Celestial Stars to her.

The Celestial Star Technique can help martial artists break through to the Martial Emperor realm; once this news leaks out, it will surely shake the world.

Li Weiyi had no intention of keeping this secret from Yu'er. For her, breaking through to the next realm herself was the best path. Using immortal techniques and star formations to replace the path she had painstakingly cultivated for many years was putting the cart before the horse.

"No wonder... You couldn't possibly be lying to me, could you?"

An Xianjing was unable to calm down; her eyes widened as she stared at Li Weiyi.

"If we didn't hold this leverage, would a rebellious and ruthless tyrant like Shi Na'er have willingly listened to us?"

Li Weiyi continued, "However, he's hiding now, definitely secretly trying to break through to the Transcendent Realm. If Palace Master An can find him and defeat him, this opportunity will be yours. So, is this news valuable enough?"

An Xianjing believed Li Weiyi wasn't lying to her and was eager to go and track down Shi Naer: "I can't betray the Rice Cult, so I won't help you. If you can kill Yao Qian and Yang Yin, I'll let you go. If you can't, then there's nothing I can do..."

Li Weiyi took out the last set of governor's robes from the bag and placed it in her arms, then pressed an official seal on it: "Shi Naer's cultivation is very high. Wearing the governor's robes will definitely increase your chances of success. Only in this way can I feel at ease, lest you be hurt by him instead."

An Xian sat there upright, rehearsing her words several times before finally asking in a low voice, "Have you reached the Longevity Realm? How confident are you?"
