The Primordial Law

Chapter 546 Nian Shiwei

The site of Yizong, where Dongxu Camp is located, covers an area of ​​hundreds of miles and is like an independent little world.

This place was once called "Xianxia Sect," but it was destroyed by a curse a hundred years ago. Overnight, the entire sect was cursed and turned into mummified corpses like withered plants.

Disciples who are not in the sect, even if they are in other realms, are no exception.

No one knows what happened.

In short, the area surrounding the Immortal Cloud Sect has become a cursed forbidden zone within the Crimson Bright Realm, and no cultivator dares to approach it. The curse from a hundred years ago still circulates in the living world, causing fear and dread when it is mentioned.

The Sentinel Army was in charge of investigating this curse and seemed to have found out the truth, but it was not made public. Only the Sentinel Lord and the Deputy Sentinel Lord knew the truth.

The two sped along the stone path, passing through lakes and ancient forests, not daring to take flight for fear of triggering an invisible formation.

“Yanjue Mountain is close to the Netherworld of the Dead, located at the southernmost edge of Dongxu Camp, and is two hundred miles away from the martial arts field in front of the mountain. It is said that all the deceased from the Yizong sect who died due to the curse were buried in this mountain,” said Taishi Yu.

"How could that be? A cursed corpse would definitely be burned."

As Li Weiyi climbed up the Yanjue Mountain, he felt the heat increasing and asked curiously, "Since you joined the Nianshi Guard, what are you doing in the Martial Arts Field?"

"Send the battle flags! The martial arts field needs to be set up with a mountain formation to increase the intensity of training."

Tai Shiyu continued, "The Sentinel Army originally didn't need Spirit Masters, since there's no light in the Netherworld, and once a Spirit Master's spiritual light is exhausted, it's difficult to recover. However, the formations in the camps and outposts need to be maintained, and the talismans to deal with the dead also need to be crafted. Therefore, the Spirit Master Guard was established separately!"

"I've got something good for you!"

Tai Shiyu mysteriously took out a scroll from his bag.

After Li Weiyi took it, he discovered that this scroll was no ordinary book. It was made of paper from the wood of an ancient spirit tree, which could hold spiritual light and could be used to refine array diagrams and talismans.

Realizing that what was recorded inside was anything but simple, he opened it with great caution and care.

The first page of the scroll features a slender figure imprinted with psychic energy, resembling a battle-style portrait.

She was dressed in a green robe, holding a precious pearl in her hand. Her long hair cascaded down to her waist. Her eyes were cold, her nose delicate, and her breasts were high and firm. Beneath her girlish and delicate face was a figure that would make one's blood boil.

Beside it, there are also beautifully written introductions and descriptions.

The image of the spirit on the first page is a rubbing of Qing Zijin, the deputy commander of the Nian Shiwei Guard.

Li Weiyi then turned to the second page, which featured a stunningly beautiful woman in armor. She sat on the field of the martial arts arena, exuding a gentle and elegant aura, with fair and radiant skin.

According to the text description next to her, she is Tong Yanxue, who ranked fourth in the freshman assessment.

Li Weiyi was not a rigid or boring person. After reading the entire book with great interest, he closed it and said, "You went to the martial arts field to deliver array flags? Brother Taishi, you are too bold. You secretly used your mental power to make imprints of so many women's spiritual images. Once they find out, they will not let you off. What are you trying to do? Are you the target of the Dongxu Camp?"

Tai Shi Yu's nickname is "Qing Shi Yu" (情史羽).

He snatched the scroll from Li Weiyi's hand and immediately hid it: "What's the most important thing in mental power cultivation? Resources! The Polar Day True Pill costs 800,000 Yongquan coins."

"During basic training, everything costs money; we can't just sit around and do nothing, can we?"

"I plan to create a 'Beauty Ranking' for this year's Sentinels, and then quietly sell it to make a profit. It won't take much time anyway. I'll also find a woman I like to pursue, have a romantic relationship, and leave a lasting impression."

"You should know that we will likely spend more than half of our lives in the Cave Ruins Camp and the Realm of the Dead. Only by finding a Daoist companion in the Cave Ruins Camp can life be wonderful and brilliant."

"We must act proactively on this matter, or we'll regret it later, letting Chang Yujian, Lu Qing, Yuan Zhen, and the others get there first. Don't worry! I won't tell Zuoqiu Hongting and Jiang Ning about this. Why don't you choose first?"

Tai Shiyu unfolded the scroll and turned the pages one by one.

"I appreciate your kind offer, but I can only admire it from the bottom of my heart!"

Li Weiyi pressed his hand down: "Brother Taishi, stop. This matter is too dangerous. These images of spiritual light are all secretly copied. Once they find out, they will definitely be furious."

The Yanjue Mountain is a massive mountain range that cuts across both living and secluded environments.

Continuing towards the summit, one finds a cloud-shrouded formation within the mountains, containing numerous palaces and caves in a beautiful setting, along with medicinal fields. Servants and maids are busy in these fields, transporting supplies and feeding exotic beasts.

Li Weiyi thought to himself, "If there were a palace here, Yu'er would be very happy."

Reaching the halfway point, we finally saw the intense light emanating from the mountaintop.

In mid-air, there was a crack hundreds of feet long, like an unhealable wound torn into space. Within the crack, crimson flames burned fiercely, releasing waves of heat.

Li Weiyi stopped and stood still: "That's the Soul-Burning Heavenly Flame?"

Tai Shiyu nodded: "It is said that the commander of the Sentinel Army came from a distant place and used a secret treasure to tear open the barrier of the Heavenly Fire World, leaving behind a void fire abyss to purify and burn the cursed monsters here. A hundred years have passed, and this void fire abyss has not yet closed."

"It's actually a good thing for us; cultivating mental power here is much faster than elsewhere."

The new recruits' camp at Nian Shiwei is already in sight.

The campsite was built on a flat area halfway up the mountain, with various buildings scattered around. As more and more people appeared, voices, animal roars, and insect chirps emanated from the campsite.

As Tai Shiyu walked, he said, "This year, the Nian Shi Guard recruited ninety-four sentries. I'm ranked tenth, so I can lead a team by myself. Why don't you come and join my team for a year?" "You're only ranked tenth?" Li Weiyi said.

Tai Shiyu said, "I don't think this ranking is low; on the contrary, it's a remarkable achievement."

"I heard that there's an extraordinary beauty in this year's Nian Shi Wei, known as the number one in a certain realm. Is that true?" Li Weiyi suddenly remembered what Elder Qin had mentioned, and asked casually as the thought crossed her mind.

Tai Shiyu laughed and said, "You're not pretending anymore? You've come to the right person. I guess this legendary beauty is the Deputy Valiant Guard. If you're interested, you can join the team. She's also the team leader... Greetings, Deputy Valiant Guard!"

Tai Shiyu's expression changed slightly, and he clasped his hands in a gesture of respect before bowing forward.

Qing Zijin stood straight outside the camp gate, her body still shimmering with spiritual light, using a teleportation technique.

She wore a bright blue dress, had sharp eyes, and her skin was radiant and glowing, but she wore a veil, so the face in the portrait could not be seen.

Qing Zijin heard their conversation clearly: "Taishi Yu, why did it take you so long to deliver the battle flags?"

"I happened to encounter new recruits enlisting, which caused some delay."

Tai Shiyu remained calm and quickly introduced, "This is Li Weiyi, who is ranked first on the Merit List. He missed the new recruit assessment in order to make merit and only reported to Nian Shiwei today. He plans to join the Deputy Xiaowei's team and asks the Deputy Xiaowei to help him catch up on the lessons he missed."

"You're Li Weiyi?"

Qing Zijin frowned, her eyes indifferent, and looked him up and down. He was completely different from the young powerhouse she had imagined who could defeat Inamiya Shinichi.

That's too frivolous!

There's no way around it; preconceived notions prevail.

Which young and powerful individual with profound insight immediately asks about the number one beauty upon arrival?

Too purposeful.

Li Weiyi, with his keen senses, detected an unusual aura emanating from Qing Zijin, one that no spirit master could possess. He bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, Deputy Valiant Guard!"

“You are number one on the Merit List. Logically speaking, if you want to join any team, the two senior sentry spirits in charge of guarding the master would agree. But I am the team leader. If I don’t agree, you can’t get in.”

Qing Zijin knew very well that once Li Weiyi met the two Great Saints, Yuan Jingsan and Xue Yan, everything would be set in stone, so she planned to make him back down in advance.

Li Weiyi glared at Taishi Yu, then explained, "Actually, it's not what the Deputy Guard thought..."

"No need to explain. Too much explanation will only make people resentful! If you are really capable, you can catch one of my talismans and still stay standing, then I will let you join my team."

Qing Zijin stood still, but her aura changed dramatically in an instant. She became like a green mountain, majestic and imposing, with a dazzling golden glow appearing around her.

She had long been curious about the strength of the person who defeated Inamiya Shinden.

A rune was released from between her eyebrows, instantly dissipating into the world and transforming into countless bolts of lightning.

"Boom!"

Li Weiyi could tell that she was a Holy Spirit Mind Master, but he didn't expect that what she cultivated was also a different kind of spiritual light.

What I didn't expect was that she would take action so suddenly, without giving me any chance to explain.

Before he could react, almost instinctively, Li Weiyi combined his martial spirit with the dozens of feet tall Fusang Divine Tree, which rose up to form a huge Burning Karma Millstone, colliding with the surging lightning.

"Oh!"

Inside the Burning Karma Millstone, Li Weiyi and Taishi Yu were pushed backward six or seven zhang by the power of lightning.

Qing Zijin gazed at the two lush and bright Fusang divine trees on Li Weiyi's body; the legend was indeed true. She turned back to the camp: "You've passed!"

Tai Shiyu exclaimed, "How amazing! She was already able to draw the Yin-Breaking Thunder Talisman, which is used to deal with spirits, after only five days of instruction."

“The other person is a Holy Spirit Master, and a different kind of spiritual light at that. This misunderstanding has gotten out of hand. You should go and explain things clearly!” Li Weiyi said.

"Given the current situation, if you don't join the team, wouldn't that just make things worse? She's already agreed, so don't create any more trouble."

Tai Shiyu swaggered into the camp gate and led Li Weiyi to pay her respects to Yuan Jingsan, one of the two instructors of the Nianshi Camp. After that, she officially joined the team.

They come, the security.

Li Weiyi plans to stay in the first team for a year and then compete for the position of Xiaowei after the annual exam.

For the next period of time, Li Weiyi spent his days learning various runes such as the Yin-Breaking Thunder Rune, Purification Rune, and Corpse Control Rune at the Nian Shiwei camp, while also absorbing the Heavenly Fire from the Sky Fire Abyss and condensing it in the Spirit Realm.

At night, they returned to Camp 36, entered the Blood Mud Space, wove the Cocoon of Time, and refined talismans.

Half a month passed quickly.
