The Primordial Law

Chapter 583 Leaving the Valley
In the days that followed, Li Weiyi and Qing Zijin spent most of their time on the mountaintop. While cultivating their mental power, they secretly crafted puppet battle corpses.

They were only first-level Holy Spirit Mind Masters, and the cultivation of mental power did indeed require absorbing light. Therefore, the people cultivating in the valley below gradually got used to their absence from the Brahma Leaf Valley.

The task of observing and keeping watch for the enemy naturally fell to them.

When the topic comes up occasionally, people jokingly say that they are getting too close, and that a lone man and woman in the deep mountains and forests must be incredibly romantic.

Although they sometimes disagreed and felt superior because of their higher cultivation levels, they all prioritized cultivation and were not jealous of Li Weiyi and Qing Zijin just because they were close.

They will not harbor hostility because of past unpleasantness. Even Changyu Sword only wants to challenge in the future and prove itself honorably.

They are all Sentinel Army soldiers; they can be rivals, but not enemies.

Tang Wanzhou has been very busy lately, staying in the valley and barely exchanging a few words with Li Weiyi.

Li Weiyi knew exactly what she was worried about and why she was so tense. Clearly, from the fact that she had brought in two instructors to help cover up their tracks and whereabouts, Tang Wanzhou didn't believe that Tu Miangou could simply disappear into thin air.

They couldn't believe that a mere Hai Envoy could escape from the territory of Dongxu Camp. All the sentry spirits were mobilized, but they couldn't find him even after two days.

She must have felt that there was a "hidden danger" within the team.

They feared that the "hidden danger" might leave traces on the road or transmit messages through secret methods.

Now we've come to Vanya Valley.

For Tang Wanzhou, the suffering had only just begun.

We cannot be completely certain whether there are any hidden dangers, but we must keep an eye on them.

Every member of the Shaoyang Guard is extremely shrewd, seemingly hiding their true abilities, harboring their own hidden agendas, and worthy of suspicion, yet they all appear to be without fault.

Li Weiyi had also secretly pondered that Zhao Tang, Xu Daoqing, the Pipa Girl, Nangong, Qiu Cheng, and Chang Yujian all had an unusual side and seemed to be hiding something.

This also includes Shirakawa.

He's been in Vanye Valley for almost two months now, and he's actually acting as if he's stayed behind to protect everyone. Logically, having lost thirty years of his lifespan, he should immediately head to a large underworld or Chun City to search for treasures.

You should know that Li Weiyi searched all three mountains but failed to find the Netherworld Essence, and the idea of ​​immediately going to the large Netherworld to search for it arose in his mind.

The essence of the Netherworld can nourish the soul.

It is faster and more direct than Shaoyang Star.

With it, the cultivation speed of the Holy Spirit Mind Master in the seventh realm will greatly increase, and the "gates of hell" that require seven breakthroughs will become "barriers," greatly reducing the danger.

Li Weiyi and Qing Zijin sat side by side on the mountaintop, with the Wanwu Staff and Spear standing behind them.

The spearhead is above, and the earth spirit is below.

The Earth Spirit Child's body is about a foot long, like a baby.

It possesses intelligence, actively taking root in the ground to absorb the earth's yin energy, which it then infuses into the staff and spear to help Li Weiyi activate it.

The staff and spear emitted ethereal Buddhist chants, constantly drawing the moonlight of time towards them, causing the hillside where the two stood to solidify into a world of light and rain.

Li Weiyi suddenly opened his eyes: "Bai Chuan and Nangong Shan have come up!"

Without releasing his mental power or outward manifestation of his Dao heart, the two handsome and beautiful figures climbing the mountain at its foot could be accurately visualized in his mind, outlining every smile and gesture during their conversation.

The brilliance of the spears and halberds of all things dimmed, and he temporarily withdrew them.

Qing Zijin asked, "I feel that your spiritual insight is far deeper than mine. Just how many psychic stars have you cultivated?"

“Eighteen,” Li Weiyi said.

Qing Zijin showed a hint of anger: "I know you have an optimistic personality, which is different from my pessimistic view of everything. You can choose not to answer, but if you are going to answer, can you at least answer properly? I like your serious and earnest side, not the way you always tease me."

Of course she didn't believe it.

Li Weiyi broke through to the Holy Spirit Mind Master a little later than her, and in less than a year, he was able to cultivate nine Mind Power Stars?

Unbeknownst to her, during his two months in the Heavenly Fire World, Li Weiyi condensed his thirteenth psychic star. In the following six months, with the help of the Fusang Divine Tree, the Soul Sea Starry Sky, and the Cocoon of Time, he condensed five more.

Li Weiyi didn't think this was a fast cultivation speed. Cultivating martial arts took up a lot of his time, which is why he spoke frankly.

But it seems that telling the truth is often a troublesome thing.

"Captain, just remember that I've been very careful about what I say when I'm with you. Because I know you're someone who takes things very seriously."

Li Weiyi didn't want to explain further, nor did she want to prove anything. Gazing into the distance, a strong urge to leave arose in her heart.

The immortal corpses they brought with them have all been transformed into battle corpse puppets.

There's no point in staying in Vanya Valley any longer.

Qing Zijin's pretty face, which looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, was furrowed, and a bitter expression appeared on her face: "Am I an extremely difficult person to get along with?"

"Actually, it's alright. Being with you is much simpler than being with many other people. I don't need to wear a fake mask. In front of you, I don't need to hide my magic staff and puppetry," Li Weiyi said with a smile.

Qing Zijin looked at him coldly: "Are you saying I'm not shrewd? I've just been protecting myself by keeping my distance, not wanting anything from others, and hoping that others won't want anything from me either. As long as I don't come into contact with people, there won't be too many entanglements of interests or troubles."

Li Weiyi felt that after two months of spending time alone together, and with her taking the initiative to reveal her background, this icy-cold Deputy Guard was no longer so resistant to him, and was able to confide in him and say "we".

He remained silent for a long while, then suddenly said, "I'm leaving!"

"How long?" Qing Zijin was not surprised.

Li Weiyi said, "Today, immediately."

Qing Zijin was stunned, and a sudden feeling of emptiness arose in her heart.

It wasn't that she felt any particular emotional attachment; rather, she seemed to have grown accustomed to cultivating here with Li Weiyi every day. If she were to be alone on the mountain from now on, it would feel too lonely, as if she were isolated from the entire world. But she had always gotten through it this way!
Footsteps and laughter came from the woods below, disrupting Qing Zijin's mood.

Bai Chuan and Nan Gong, like a pair of celestial beings, walked out of the forest.

He was handsome and dashing, with his hair tied up in a jade crown, clear and bright eyes, and profound knowledge in his speech. He exuded a noble and elegant temperament, not at all effeminate, but rather sunny and unrestrained.

Any woman who gets close to him will inevitably stare and be mesmerized.

His dual identity as the second-place winner of the new imperial examination and a member of the Bai family is like a divine aura surrounding him, inspiring awe and reverence.

The other is a celestial jade bone shrouded in holy light, forged from the essence of heaven and earth. Even a glimpse of its blurry form is enough to etch it into one's heart, inspiring a desire to gaze upon it forever. It also evokes the thought that if one cannot break through the haze to witness its true form up close and reach out to touch it, it will be a regret that lingers in one's heart for the rest of one's life.

"Those two really aren't cultivating, yet they're here gazing at the moon and enjoying the scenery. How romantic! It's enviable," Shirakawa laughed heartily.

In Bai Chuan and Nan Gong's eyes, Li Weiyi and Qing Zijin also possessed a quality that stirred their hearts.

Bai Chuan's gaze fell on Li Weiyi, and he bowed, saying, "Weiyi, I've wanted to apologize to you and Yu Jian for a long time. That day in the teleportation hall, it was all due to a sudden change in circumstances. I was so angry that I couldn't control my damn mouth. Looking back, I feel more and more that it was inappropriate. I'm still too young and lack experience. You became a Holy Spirit Mind Master in your twenties, which is also extremely impressive in the Sword Dao Imperial Court. You will surely achieve great things in the future."

What a person thinks in their heart is a matter of their mouth.
Li Weiyi didn't take it too seriously. With high cultivation, one naturally has the right to be arrogant. To condescend to apologize, whatever the reason, at least demonstrates flexibility and adaptability, which is quite remarkable.

Li Weiyi gave a brief reply, then took his leave and descended the mountain.

Before leaving, he discovered that Nangong was not sightseeing with Baichuan, but was setting up an array.

She took pieces of top-grade blood crystals, each engraved with array runes, from her bag and dropped them into the ground.

Although both are Holy Spirit Mind Masters of the First Realm, this valiant guard, ranked first on Tai Shi Yu's "Beauty Ranking," always gave Li Wei a mysterious feeling that he could not see through.

After descending the mountain and returning to the valley, Li Weiyi bid farewell to Tang Wanzhou.

Tang Wanzhou sat in meditation at the entrance of the valley, his Divine Snow Sword planted in the ground. The surrounding area, a hundred feet wide, was covered in ice half a foot thick: "I have given the order that no one is allowed to leave the valley before Mo Duanfeng returns."

"Am I an exception too? You don't doubt me, do you?" Li Weiyi said.

Tang Wanzhou immediately understood that Li Weiyi had seen through her long ago, so she frowned and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

“I have the Cocoon of Time. If I were only using the Netherworld for cultivation, why would I take this risk?” Li Weiyi said.

Tang Wanzhou pondered for a moment, then sighed, "Fine, what can we do when our relationship is different? Go outside and patrol, then quietly leave."

What Tang Wanzhou didn't say was that he had been feeling uneasy these past few days, with a constant feeling that something bad was about to happen. Therefore, he secretly hoped that Li Weiyi would leave, away from any potential danger.

"Don't worry, I've already made preparations so as not to make things difficult for you."

Li Weiyi looked around, activated his spiritual power, and took out a boundary bag.

Release the completed substitute puppet.

……

Stepping out of the light blue aura of the underworld, Li Weiyi immediately activated the invisibility power of his Shaoyang Guardian robes, glanced at the three towering peaks behind him, and sped northward.

The Vanye Valley Netherworld is located in the southern part of the Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins, only six thousand miles away from the border zone of decay and prosperity.

Li Weiyi was heading to the third largest underworld, tens of thousands of miles away from here.

Heavenly Capital River Underworld.

According to the records of the Sentinel Army predecessors from decades ago, the Netherworld Domain of the Heavenly Capital River covers an area of ​​eight hundred miles in radius, and it is easy to find the Netherworld Soul Essence on both sides of the river.

Two hundred miles after Li Weiyi left the Netherworld of Vanye Valley, he felt a strange sensation of being watched from afar, and it grew stronger and stronger.

This is very abnormal; he is clearly invisible.

Unless someone cultivates a mental technique similar to the Heavenly Eye and keeps a constant watch on the entrance of Brahma Leaf Valley, it would be impossible to detect him. Furthermore, they would have to keep tracking him.

"What on earth is it?"

Li Wei made up his mind, burst into his fastest speed, and chased after the direction the gaze was fixed on.

This matter must be clarified.

A semi-transparent phantom was running at high speed four miles ahead of Li Weiyi.

Because it was fleeing in such a hurry and in such a panic, its two golden claws emerged from hiding and left claw marks on the ground.

"Where to escape."

Li Weiyi roared like thunder, causing the space to tremble, hoping that his voice could travel more than two hundred miles away to alert the Shaoyang Division members in Fanye Valley.

However, once the sound waves spread out for a hundred feet, they were neutralized and weakened by the invisible force of the field.

The sound traveled for dozens of miles before fading into silence.

Li Weiyi stopped immediately.

Ahead lay a wide river, thirty zhang wide, its waters pitch black, shimmering with light under the moonlight. This place was two hundred and sixty li away from the Valley of Brahma Leaf.

Across the river, the semi-transparent phantom was fully revealed.

It was a rooster over four meters tall, with brilliantly colored feathers, and its comb and eyes seemed to be burning.

Its eyes possess the gift of X-ray vision; it was the one that had been tracking Li Weiyi earlier.

Beside the rooster, Luo Ping's bald head was adorned with strange, ancient patterns. Holding a bronze staff, he smiled and locked onto Li Weiyi, who was still invisible: "Old friend, why don't you reveal your true form?"
