The Primordial Law

Chapter 554 Newly Appointed Scholar
Tang Wanzhou always possessed a leader's aura, confident and composed, courageous yet meticulous, always knowing what to do next. No wonder everyone in the Northern Territory respected her like a ruler.

Li Weiyi said, "Since Young Master is heading to Dragon City on a mission, shouldn't the Blood Crystals consumed by the Space Teleportation be paid by the Cave Ruins Camp?"

Tang Wanzhou laughed and said, "I did not report this matter to the deputy sentry; it was an unauthorized act. If it succeeds, and I return with Qin Zhengyang's head, I will have no problem getting the Cave Ruins Camp to send me a blood crystal for spatial teleportation, or even applying for a 6,000-year-old refined herb as a reward. If it fails, I will definitely be reprimanded for acting rashly and will be punished."

"I can only lend you a hand at most," Li Weiyi said.

Tang Wanzhou shook his head: "This matter is dangerous, and it is my personal training. Don't get involved. Once you break through to immortality, we can fight side by side and settle scores. But on the path of cultivation, I won't wait for you. You have to catch up quickly."

Today is the eighth day of the Lunar New Year.

A year has passed since the Battle of Lingxiao City.

Moon Dragon Island is bustling and lively, with many more demonic beasts and creatures. It is also common to see martial arts practitioners who have smuggled themselves over from other habitats, dressed in all sorts of strange and unusual clothes.

Assassinating Qin Zhengyang was an extremely dangerous undertaking. The three groups of men and the dozens of corpses in the coffins ahead all told Tang Wanzhou that this trip might be a one-way trip.

Tang Wanzhou did not practice the art of disguise. He wore a specially made mask that could conceal his appearance and was undetectable by mental power.

She had never hidden herself like this before, which shows how cautious she was about this matter.

The two piloted a jade boat, flying through the air towards Dragon City, 30,000 miles away.

Yu'er was ultimately taken into the Blood Mud Space, this time at her own request. She could tell that Li Weiyi and Tang Wanzhou were both very cautious, knowing the dangers of this trip and not wanting to become a burden.

The jade boat flew more than two thousand miles away, and a thin golden mist gradually appeared on the sea surface, as the spiritual energy of heaven and earth became thicker.

We have officially entered the sea area where the immortal dragon veins are reviving.

"Wow!"

A large whirlpool appeared on the sea surface, attracting aquatic monsters to gather, but none dared to venture into the seabed to investigate. Seabirds circled overhead, emitting a dense cacophony of calls.

The jade boat came to a stop above the whirlpool.

Li Weiyi looked at Tang Wanzhou behind him: "Do you dare to go to the bottom of the sea and see for yourself?"

"Is there some explanation below?" Tang Wanzhou asked.

"Stand still!"

Li Weiyi steered the jade boat directly into the whirlpool.

A white light shield materialized, its runes shimmering, enveloping the jade boat. Even without activation, it was swept into the ground by the vortex.

Now that his cultivation has greatly improved, he is no longer afraid of being trapped. Li Weiyi plans to go down and see if the swastika stone carving is still there, so he can take it away.

By comprehending the swastika symbol, his progress in the Divine Gate Dao Seed can be greatly accelerated.

"Wow!"

Jade Boat sailed along the seabed crack and entered the underground space where it had fallen with Wu Hongling. It flew out from the sea waterfall and flew towards the stone wall like a streak of light.

Tang Wanzhou observed the underground environment, his eyes bright beneath the mask: "The seabed of the East Sea is indeed a different world altogether. Could the immortal dragon veins stretch for thirty thousand miles, all of them containing underground spaces?"

Li Weiyi's eyes were fixed on the front, and he could already see the carvings on the stone wall.

The engraving depicts a humanoid creature with two heads, one old and one young. Above its neck floats a swastika symbol.

Across the river of lava flows from the cliff face, a handsome and alluring figure stands on the edge of the precipice, sketching the stone carvings on the opposite side of the cliff with a pen on specially made paper.

His handsomeness leaned towards androgynous, with phoenix eyes, thin lips, and wide sleeves, yet he would never give the impression of being a woman dressed as a man.

Around him were dozens of rubbings of stone carving patterns.

The ink used varies.

He was completely focused, as if he had no idea that the two people who had flown in on the jade boat were there.

Li Weiyi put away the jade boat, and together with Tang Wanzhou, landed on the ground and quickly stepped forward.

Tang Wanzhou observed the rubbings covering the open space: "Interesting. It's surprising to encounter living people in a place like this. With so many rubbings, why not just shovel the entire stone wall off and take it away?"

"Hey!"

The paper in front of the sinister-looking man burst into flames as the last stroke was made.

Soon, it turned to ashes.

He was somewhat discouraged: "Even paper made from transcendent skin and ten-thousand-year-old spirit wood cannot withstand this. Does this mean that we can only use rubbings?"

He tossed the pen aside, looked at the two uninvited guests, a man and a woman, and gestured for them to proceed: "If you two can scrape off that stone carving, I will buy it no matter how high the price."

Is it that interesting?

Tang Wanzhou gazed at the stone carvings on the opposite side of the cliff, his eyes finally landing on the swastika symbol. Suddenly, a spiraling energy surged into his soul and consciousness, as if it were being stirred.

Her expression froze, and she quickly looked away, secretly alarmed.

"What terrifying power! Is this a sacred scripture?"

Tang Wanzhou looked over again, this time prepared. He made a hand seal, calmed his mind, and used his will to resist the destructive power of the "卍" symbol, staring intently at it.

The sinister-looking man looked surprised and incredulous: "The East Sea is truly full of experts! Judging from the wheel of time in your eyes, you are less than sixty years old, yet you were able to withstand the impact of that mark on your consciousness."

After a while, Tang Wanzhou withdrew his gaze, feeling slightly dizzy.

She had already realized that the stone carving was no ordinary object. After recovering, she made a sword gesture with two fingers and slashed horizontally with her sword from a distance, preparing to dig the stone carving away.

The sinister-looking man smiled slightly, quickly took a step back, shrinking from ten feet to an inch, and instantly appeared three miles away, carrying dozens of rubbings from the ground.

"Snapped!"

The sword energy struck the stone wall, leaving a sword mark, and some gravel fell down.

The next instant, an invisible force erupted from the stone carving, causing Tang Wanzhou to stagger backward.

A strange thing happened: the sword mark she had just made grew back into stone and became smooth again.

"What's wrong?" Li Weiyi asked. Tang Wanzhou said, "Didn't you feel the power erupting from the stone wall just now?"

Li Weiyi shook her head.

Tang Wanzhou looked at the stone carving again and felt as if the creature with the head of dawn and dusk had come to life. In its left and right ears, mocking laughter, like that of an old man and a young man, came from respectively.

"It seems to be a mental attack; my mind has been damaged. This place is strange; we must leave quickly," she said.

"I want to try."

Li Weiyi knew that Wu Hongling seemed to be wary of the engraving, but he had never felt any danger, so he was fearless and flew directly towards the stone wall.

"Wow!"

The Yellow Dragon Sword flew out and landed in his hand.

The sinister-looking man stood at a distance, watching Li Weiyi, who was about to dig directly into the stone carving with his sword, with a bewildered expression, as if he were courting death. A cruel smile crept across his lips as he quietly watched the impending tragedy unfold.

"Hey!"

Li Wei's sword pierced the rock at the edge of the stone carving.

Suddenly, the stone wall swayed slightly.

A brilliant yellow light shone from the Yellow Dragon Sword, revealing nine ancient characters that clashed with the unknown power carved in the stone. Within the sword, dragon roars echoed, and wisps of Six Jia Yang Thunder surged forth.

Seeing no other unusual activity, Li Wei slowly dragged the sword and began to split it.

Both the sinister-looking man and Tang Wanzhou were shaken. They had clearly sensed that the stone carving had resisted, but it had been suppressed by the sword. The swastika symbol also seemed to be frozen in place.

Before long, the huge stone carving was chiseled off by Li Weiyi.

It was extremely heavy, several feet long and wide, and two feet thick.

"boom!"

Li Wei carried the stone carving back to the opposite cliff, then put it into his bag: "Let's go!"

"Wait a minute."

Before they knew it, the sinister-looking man had arrived close to them, his movements unpredictable and silent, revealing his unfathomable cultivation.

Li Weiyi summoned Yu Zhou, glanced at him, and said, "Not for sale!"

The sinister-looking man chuckled, "Little fellow, didn't your elders tell you the principle of not flaunting your wealth? What I want is not just that stone carving, but also your sword."

Tang Wanzhou looked at Li Weiyi: "Didn't you say you wanted to keep a low profile?"

"Where did I go to be high-profile? I just dug out a piece of rock," Li Weiyi said.

The sinister-looking man flashed forward, instantly appearing in front of the two, his five fingers extending. Instantly, five strands of magical energy emerged from his fingertips, each as sharp as a sword yet winding like a thread, enveloping Li Weiyi and Tang Wanzhou.

Tang Wanzhou acted swiftly, pointing out with a single finger.

The sound of swords whistling echoed throughout the underground world, extremely jarring.

The fingertip pierced through the magical energy and countless illusions, precisely striking the palm of the evil-looking man's hand. With a bang, a wave of energy surged, blasting him back.

The sinister-looking man retreated several dozen feet away, rubbing his aching hand: "Indeed, he's not simple! He's not even sixty years old, yet his strength is unfathomable."

Tang Wanzhou's expression was grave as he transmitted his voice to Li Weiyi: "Leave now!"

Her finger strike just now only managed to repel the opponent; it didn't even inflict any damage.

Li Weiyi activated the jade boat, and dense array patterns and scriptures appeared on its hull. At the same time, the Yellow Dragon Sword in his hand once again emitted a dragon's roar.

"Don't leave, all of you stay!"

The sinister-looking man emitted a black and white light, half white and half black. The earth on either side was also divided into black and white, making him extremely malevolent, and he released a frenzied aura of demonic power.

"The boundary between black and white! You are Wenren Tinghai, the rising star of the Demon Kingdom?"

Tang Wanzhou's expression changed drastically. From his ancestral field, he released thousands of sword energies, which transformed into a tide of sword energy that surged toward Wenren Tinghai who was rushing toward him.

Wenren Tinghai neither dodged nor evaded, using his body to knock away all the sword energy. He extended his five fingers and rotated his wrist, instantly enveloping Tang Wanzhou in a black and white world, with a swirling storm threatening to crush her.

Tang Wanzhou felt as insignificant as an ant, standing in a world divided into black and white, looking up at the enormous hand of the heavens descending.

"Wow!"

She cleaved the sky with her sword, unleashing the ultimate sword strike from the Fourteen Swords of Immortal Slaughter and Divine Snow, a strike that would slay all living beings.

The sword energy, like a galaxy, sliced ​​through the black and white world, forcing Wenren Tinghai to retreat once again.

This time, a bloodstain appeared on Wenren Tinghai's cheek.

His eyes burned with intense coldness, and he wanted to attack again, but his legs wouldn't move. He looked down and saw a talisman that had immobilized him on his chest. It was Li Weiyi who had used the opportunity of Tang Wanzhou breaking Wenren Tinghai's protective aura with a sword strike to immobilize him.

When Wenren Tinghai looked up again, the jade boat had already shot away like a shooting star.

"Hey!"

The immobilization charm on his chest burned away instantly.

Snowflakes fell, turning the earth white.

"The Immortal Slaughtering Divine Snow Fourteen Swords actually managed to injure me. What a fine young lord of the Northern Territory, Tang Wanzhou."

Wenren Tinghai picked up the rubbings from the ground one by one, touched the wound on his cheek, and tasted the blood with his lips: "So my blood is no different from that of other humans, it tastes the same."
