The Primordial Law

Chapter 571 Yu Yaozi and Liu Tianchen

"Has the Grand Palace Master already refined the cursed monster?"

Li Weiyi strongly suspected that the so-called Flame Storm was created by Yu Yaozi.

Because, after she flew down from above, the seemingly terrifying firestorm was actually blocked. It roared behind her small body, but she couldn't leap over it no matter what she did.

Yu Yaozi was already about 1.5 meters tall, her eyes gleaming strangely in the firelight, and she had an aloof and taciturn demeanor. She did not respond to Li Weiyi, but instead looked down at the Nian Shi Wei (spirit guards) gathered below the Fire Abyss on Yan Jue Mountain.

Seeing her like this, Li Weiyi felt a strange sense of loss, as if she had lost something important that she could never get back.

In his mind, he couldn't help but recall the first time Yu'er woke up, her murmuring sobs on his back, the first time she called him "Master," the time he taught her to write at the inn, the time he carried her on his back as they fled, and the meals he prepared every night in Dongxu Camp... and so on.

These images sank into the dark depths of consciousness, gradually becoming blurred.

Just like the time I spent with my master, senior sister, and senior brother in Shouqiu when I was young. It's over, and I can never go back.

Li Weiyi said, "The chief sentry is not at Dongxu Camp; it is the deputy chief sentry who is stationed there."

“Liu Tianchen? He can do it too!” Yu Yaozi said.

Li Weiyi said, "If the Grand Palace Master goes out like this, it will probably cause a huge uproar. The Cave Ruins Camp is a gathering place for genius martial artists from all the major forces in the southern part of the Hundred Realms Life Domain. Why don't we go into the Blood Mud Space first?"

Yu Yaozi looked at the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish pendant around his neck, extended her finger, and then withdrew it: "What an extremely mysterious blood-red star! Li Weiyi, who exactly are you?"

……

News of the firestorm had spread throughout Yanjue Mountain.

"Wow!"

As the mountain grew, array patterns rose up, and a misty protective veil gradually appeared.

"Wait a minute, Li Weiyi is still inside."

Tai Shiyu shouted and then rushed towards the mountaintop.

For the past month, all the sentries and spirits in the Nian Shi Wei recruit camp have been eagerly anticipating the arrival of Li Weiyi, frequently glancing upwards at the fiery abyss. Some sentries have even made bets on when Li Weiyi will emerge from the abyss.

When Li Weiyi stayed in the Heavenly Fire World for more than thirty-four days, even the reclusive and mysterious Xiaowei was alerted. A sentry saw her peering into the Fire Abyss.

"Why are you running around like that? I'll go pick him up."

Xue Yan stood on the mountaintop, shouted at Tai Shiyu, and was about to fly towards the Fire Abyss.

But then, Li Weiyi, dressed in the official robes of a governor, descended from above, his body ablaze with fiery light, and landed steadily on the mountaintop.

Amidst the fiery glow, Yu Yaozi was enveloped in a water-dragon scale armor.

"boom!"

Above the mountaintop, the defensive array of light completed its formation, blocking the heavenly fire surging from the Fire Abyss. Subsequently, the sky above the Dongxu Camp mountains, stretching for hundreds of miles, turned crimson, and the sky seemed to be burning.

"Thank goodness, we made it back in time," Yuan Jingsan said.

Li Weiyi clasped his hands in greeting to the several veteran sentry spirits at the mountaintop: "I'm sorry that I was too engrossed in my cultivation and caused you all some concern!"

"To be able to stay in the Heavenly Fire World for two months on your first visit is simply astonishing. If it weren't for the firestorm, I think you could have stayed even longer, Xiao Li."

"How did they do that? This is no longer just a matter of innate talent; they must have mastered some kind of secret technique."

……

Also on the mountaintop were Nangong, Qingzijin, and Xueyucai.

All three could sense that the spiritual light emanating from Li Weiyi was extremely powerful, clearly indicating that he had condensed more than the eleventh psychic star.

Their feelings were all different.

Standing amidst the radiant glow of the rosy clouds, Nangong scrutinized the young man before her for the first time, truly looking him in the eye. Previously, whether it was Li Weiyi's contest with Xue Yucai or the gathering of the Shaoyang Division, Li Weiyi had been no different from a wisp of air in her eyes.

Qing Zijin truly couldn't understand how someone with such extraordinary mental abilities, and the courage to risk his life to kill the Taiyin Envoy, could collude with Taishi Yu. She had heard some unpleasant rumors about Taishi Yu and Instructor Xue Yan.

Xue Yucai's thoughts drifted far away. With his abilities, he was indeed not qualified to say that he could represent the Holy Dark Family to resolve the conflict with Li Weiyi.

However, he didn't think Li Weiyi would go very far in the future. His family and the Crown Prince would not allow such a brilliant talent to grow up, and they would definitely eliminate him when he began to show his talent in southern Yingzhou.

Who told him to get too close to Yu Yaozi?
The Holy Dark Family is a faction within the Demon Kingdom, belonging to the Crown Prince's lineage. The Crown Prince harbors an irreconcilable hatred for Zen Sea Mist, Yu Yaozi, and Lingxiao Palace.

Li Weiyi discovered that everyone present, including all the instructors, could neither see Yu Yaozi nor sense her presence. This situation was extremely strange.

"Why waste time talking to them? Let's go." Yu Yaozi glanced at Li Weiyi.

Li Weiyi had no choice but to bid farewell to everyone. Halfway up the mountain, he encountered Taishi Yu.

Tai Shiyu had been waiting with a group of young male and female sentries for quite some time. They all smiled and bowed to Li Weiyi, who was coming down the mountain, offering their congratulations.

Tai Shiyu was quite proud. He pulled Li Weiyi aside and transmitted his voice, "Recently, many people have been asking about the Polar Day True Pill. Do you still have any? Also, several sentinels of considerable importance, either from the Billion Race or from the forces of the Lord of the Living Realm, want to get to know you. Would you like to meet them?" Seeing Yu Yaozi's impatient look, Li Weiyi quickly said, "I have important matters to attend to. We'll talk when I get back. By the way, please explain things to Qing Zijin. She overheard everything we said at the foot of Yan Jue Mountain that day, causing quite a misunderstanding."

“If this matter is not handled properly, it will indeed affect your reputation, Li Shenglin. Even if you become famous throughout the world, you will inevitably be criticized. Don’t worry, leave this to me. I’m not bragging, but I can easily take care of that little girl, Qing Zijin.” Tai Shiyu patted his chest and assured him.

In his view, any girl who hasn't been with a man is just a little girl.

"Don't mess around, just explain yourself."

Li Weiyi gave this reminder, and then enveloped Yu Yaozi in spiritual light, heading towards the Ling Mountain where the camp was located.

At the top of Lingshan Mountain, the black camp stands solemnly, with sentries standing guard and patrolling.

The moment Li Weiyi and Yu Yaozi arrived at the mountaintop and stepped into Qingyu Square.

Sitting in the camp hall, Liu Tianchen's eyes narrowed slightly. He placed a secret intelligence scroll about "Chu Yutian" back on the table and then disappeared from his seat.

He appeared outside the gate of the black camp, standing tall and straight, looking down at Yu Yaozi, who was walking with Li Weiyi in the square below.

"Wow!"

The square was shrouded in a misty haze of Buddhist energy, isolating it from the outside world.

Liu Tianchen's voice was neither humble nor arrogant: "What brings the Grand Palace Master to Dongxu Camp?"

"Since you're an avatar, then focus on military affairs. Liu Tianchen, I'm here, why don't you show yourself?"

Yu Yaozi slightly raised her head and looked at the thirteen-story ancient pagoda floating in the air.

The ancient pagoda is located in the Heavenly Law Earth Spring, thousands of feet above the ground. It is a supreme magical artifact, and once activated, it can level mountains.

Liu Tianchen's willow wood clone retreated and returned to the hall. The gates of the ancient pagoda above opened, and a deep, resonant voice rang out: "Please!"

Yu Yaozi transformed into a streak of light, flew into the sky, entered the tower, and looked at Liu Tianchen's true form sitting in the ocean of magical energy: "Next, I will mainly stay in Dongxu Camp for a while. Yanjue Mountain is my cultivation ground, and I don't want to be disturbed by anyone. Everything must be kept secret."

Looking at her figure, which was only thirteen or fourteen years old, Liu Tianchen knew the reason: "It's fine! There are ten emperors and twenty-eight crown princes in the southern part of Yingzhou. You, Yuyaozi, are ranked third among the crown princes. Even if the chief is in the camp, he will definitely give you this face."

Yu Yaozi added, "I want to review all the intelligence information from the Dongxu Camp."

"That might be inconvenient!" Liu Tianchen said.

Yu Yaozi said, "With the revival of the Immortal Dragon Vein, the chaos in the East Sea will only intensify. Can you, Liu Tianchen, protect the Rainforest Realm? I am not interested in the Cave Ruins Camp, but I must know the current state of the Lingxiao Realm, the East Sea, and the Cave Ruins Ghost City, and what kind of uncontrollable crisis it will evolve into."

Liu Tianchen pondered for a moment: "Alright, I can share some intelligence with you. How long do you plan to stay at Dongxu Camp?"

“It could take as little as one year or as long as three years,” Yu Yaozi said.

Liu Tianchen said, "The Taiyin Sect and the Cave Ruins Ghost City may not give us three years."

"It's you! If Dongxu Ghost City wants to attack the East Sea and seize the Immortal Dragon Vein, it must first destroy Dongxu Camp. If you can't even hold out for three years, you might as well disband as soon as possible and let all the sentry spirits go back to their homes."

Yu Yaozi then asked, "Does the Sentinel Spirit Army have any news about the Mist Master?"

Liu Tianchen shook his head: "If it were so easy to find out where Wu Tianzi was, she would have been killed by Fei Feng and Yu Baxian long ago."

Yu Yaozi then asked, "Where is Xianmin? Where is she?"

“A month ago, a grand wedding ceremony was held in Xiaoyao Capital. Your junior sister, Xianmin, married Yu Daozhen, the crown prince of the Demon Kingdom. It is said throughout the land that Yu Daozhen suffered incurable injuries in the battle of Lingxiao City, and his path to the throne is over. He wants to use this wedding ceremony to tell those in the Demon Kingdom who covet the crown prince's position that he has recovered from his injuries and has returned to his peak.”

Liu Tianchen added, "Furthermore, because of your special relationship with Li Weiyi, Yu Daozhen and Xianmin dispatched a large number of experts, led by the newly appointed top scholar Wenren Tinghai, to search for Li Weiyi throughout Lingxiao Shengjing and the East Sea. With the power of the Demon Kingdom, it's only a matter of time before they find out that he is hiding in Dongxu Camp."

……

Li Weiyi waited in the square for most of the day before he finally saw Yu Yaozi walk out of the camp.

After meeting with Yanagida Chen, she began reviewing major world events that had occurred over the past decade or so, with a focus on intelligence information from the last year.

The two returned to Yanjue Mountain one after the other, and were almost at Qingyin Pavilion when...

She suddenly said, "Li Weiyi, from the perspective of a low-level Dao Seed Realm martial artist, tell me, if I were to rebuild the Lingxiao Palace and take charge of the Lingxiao Realm, do you think the people of the world would still believe me?"

Li Weiyi said, "I don't know. I didn't experience Oda Rei's life, nor did any of my relatives die in the war."

Yu Yaozi stopped, turned around, and looked coldly at Li Weiyi, who was lagging behind in the distance: "In front of this Palace Master, no one dares to be as presumptuous as you."

Li Weiyi said, "I dare not be presumptuous; I am simply telling the truth. The Grand Palace Master must learn to face reality. The former Lingxiao Realm is gone forever. The Mist Emperor can regain control of Lingxiao, but you cannot. Unless..."

“Unless what?” she asked.

Li Weiyi said, "Unless you can do what you did a thousand years ago, and fight your way out of the Netherworld of the Dead with just a sword, you will be able to create a new world of life."

“That makes sense. I possess the ‘Book of Bright Stars and Morning Stars,’ which is perfectly capable of subduing the Netherworld, reopening the world, and establishing an even more glorious living realm,” said Yu Yaozi.
