The Primordial Law

Chapter 596 Parting Again
Almost suffocating from her kisses, Li Weiyi finally controlled her slender waist and back, pinning her to the ground and taking her place on top.

Li Weiyi cupped the back of her head with one hand and gently placed it on the ground, while his other hand rested on her wet, delicate shoulder as he looked down at her.

Below, her sharp eyes held a mixture of anticipation and shyness.

“You’ve already gone up there, what are you still hesitating about? If it doesn’t work, then go down… um…” Tang Wanzhou said.

Li Wei buried his face in her chest, his hands roaming over her firm and supple body. The two finally found their rhythm, their initial wildness gradually turning into tenderness and affection.

Gradually, Li Weiyi realized something was wrong, and she started to cry, tears streaming down her face.

As their lips parted, Li Weiyi withdrew all her emotions, including her hands. She had never imagined that Tang Wanzhou, in his normal state, would have such a vulnerable moment.

"Li Weiyi, I feel so bad. Why do I feel so bad? I thought that letting my emotions run wild and not suppressing them would make me feel better, but it seems that this is not a good medicine."

Tang Wanzhou's clothes were disheveled, revealing the thin inner garment, and his full chest rose and fell with his sobs, as if he had been humiliated by Li Weiyi.

Although her eyes were still sharp, even a blind person could see that she was putting on a brave face.

Li Weiyi asked, "Is it because of this crushing defeat?"

“I have experienced defeats before in Lingxiao Realm, and I have witnessed soldiers fall one by one. I have experienced moments more desperate than this, but I have never felt this sense of defeat and pain,” she said.

Li Weiyi said, “It’s different! In Lingxiao Realm, although you are the young lord and have the power to command the country and deploy troops, and the martial artists of the Northern Territory trust and respect you. But in the end, the one who is truly responsible for the life and death of everyone is the Lion Camel King. You know very well that you have a solid backing behind you.”

“But you established the Shaoyang Division yourself, you selected everyone, and everyone only listens to your orders.”

"Your mindset will naturally be different; you'll feel responsible for everyone's life and death. No matter how dangerous the situation, you'll understand that you can only rely on yourself, and there's no one to back you up. If you fail, there will be no future."

"But Tang Wanzhou, is all of this really your fault? Have we really lost?"

"If Mo Duanfeng and Bai Chuan hadn't been so arrogant, we would still be hiding in the shadows, slowly cultivating ourselves. Wasn't our initial plan to defeat Chu Yutian within twenty years? It was the two of them who forced us to confront an enemy many times stronger than us ahead of schedule."

"In terms of losses, the Taiyin Sect and the Netherworld of the Dead suffered far greater losses than us in this battle. And as far as I know, Nangong, Liuye, and Qingzijin all escaped."

"Given such an overwhelming advantage, to end up like this, I think it's Chu Yutian who should be feeling the pain and distress."

Tang Wanzhou quieted down, lay there with her long hair loose, and pouted as she looked at him: "You're not lying to me, are you? I'm in a lot of turmoil right now and I can't think straight."

Li Weiyi said, "In my opinion, your current state of mind is exactly the kind of inner tempering that all geniuses in the Longevity Realm must go through."

"In the Five Seas Realm and the Dao Seed Realm, we are the younger generation, just beginning to show our talents. We are fearless and can do whatever we want without causing too much damage, because we have the older generation protecting us."

"In the Realm of Immortality, everything has changed! We must learn to rely on ourselves, to do everything on our own, to face all dangers, and to bear all the consequences."

"Only by undergoing this inner trial and reaching a transcendent level in the future can one stand alone at the pinnacle of strength. At that time, others will rely on us and need our shelter from the wind and rain."

"If there is a bridge between geniuses and strongmen, if there is a process of transformation, it must be in the Longevity Realm. We are experiencing all of this now."

Tang Wanzhou's eyes brightened again, his dejection vanishing: "Well said, but not good enough. In my opinion, we should both set our goals higher. The Longevity Realm is a process of tempering our hearts, while Transcendence is another kind of pioneering and tempering, where we overcome obstacles, reveal our sharpness, and fight against heaven and earth. Only the Crown Prince and the Martial Emperor can truly be considered the strong of Yingzhou. Hmm... Shall we continue?"

Li Weiyi smiled bitterly, seeing that she had no intention of doing anything, so he said, "Forget it, I've already been so excited by what you said that I feel like I could break the sky, and I can barely control my injuries... Don't make things worse for both of us."

Both of them were very rational at this moment, and the impulsive emotions were gone.

Tang Wanzhou closed her loose black robe again, propped up her tired body, and tied her long hair back up, revealing her slender and sexy neck with some white and red marks.

Suddenly, she said, "It's all your fault for being so indecisive, now I'm in a dilemma. If your fiancée were anyone else, I could choose not to take responsibility for you and pretend nothing happened, but it has to be Zuoqiu Menting. If you marry Zuoqiu Hongting in the future, I will definitely feel extremely unbalanced and will definitely make a scene. You should be prepared."

Li Weiyi had already stood up: "You're crying, how can I continue?"

"You don't need to repeat yourself. Just forget about it." Tang Wanzhou was clearly furious, feeling utterly humiliated and knowing he would never be able to hold his head high in front of Li Weiyi again.

This time, there was no Six Thoughts Mantra.

a few days later.

Li Weiyi and Tang Wanzhou have recovered from their injuries and emerged from underground, back to their peak condition.

During this time, Li Weiyi told Qing Zijin what Nangong had told her. Tang Wanzhou also told Xu Daoqing about the Taixu Clan.

On the mountain ridge.

The moonlight of time shines down from afar, falling on her ice-sculpted face, her profile is distinct, her ponytail sways, her eyelashes are long, her delicate nose and crystal red lips draw people closer, and she still has that aloof, outstanding and heroic temperament.

But Li Weiyi could no longer simply regard her as a comrade-in-arms on the path of martial arts cultivation, because he had once seen her gentle and graceful side, her breath sweet as orchids. Tang Wanzhou stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the layers of mountains to the south, and said proudly, "The Netherworld of Tiandu River is actually an excellent place for cultivation. It is vast enough, ranking third in size among all the Netherworlds, making it easy to hide."

"Secondly, after so many days, the Taiyin Sect and the Marquis of the Dead Spirit must have assumed that all the Shaoyang Guards had fled far away, most likely to the heart of the ancient kingdom."

"Third, the Tiandu River Underworld is located at the southern end of the Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins, which is a straight-line distance of seventy to eighty thousand miles from Time Ruins and Chun City, far away from the center of the struggle."

"Now that you have just broken through to the Longevity Realm and obtained the Nether Soul Essence, you are at a stage where your cultivation can increase rapidly in a short period of time. Going into seclusion is the best choice."

Li Weiyi asked, "And you?"

Tang Wanzhou said, "Under the Fusang Divine Tree, one can seclude oneself for a year or two, or break through in the Netherworld for a few years, and break through the third Immortal Lock naturally. However, I have an even faster option, which is to break through in battle. In martial arts cultivation, only by being able to survive a hundred battles and always having a strong spirit can one break through the barrier of the highest realm in the future. Otherwise, one will definitely stop at a certain realm and end up with only a mediocre or above-average achievement despite having unparalleled talent."

"Energy and spirit are hard to acquire, but easy to lose; I cherish them dearly."

"Furthermore, I am the Holy Master of Shaoyang Division. I must kill Jingzhen as soon as possible and inform every Shaoyang Guard of his and Xu Daoqing's situation. The longer we wait, the greater the danger."

"The Taixu Clan is too strange. Before killing Jingzhen, we must be wary of everyone around us."

"After I've done all this, I'll go to the Underworld of the Heavenly Capital River to find you."

Li Weiyi took out two immobilization talismans and two speed talismans and handed them to her: "Be careful."

"I'll take four talismans from you, and return four medicinal herbs to you in the future. I'm leaving!"

Tang Wanzhou put the talisman into his sleeve and went down the mountain without looking back.

Under the moonlight on the horizon.

The slender, dark figure and its shadow on the ground receded further and further into the boundless wilderness, disappearing into the wind.

Li Weiyi knew very well that Tang Wanzhou was right.

With the abundance of resources at his moment, he could rapidly improve his cultivation simply by going into seclusion. Therefore, he returned to the Heavenly Capital River Netherworld alone.

The Heavenly Capital River Underworld has returned to tranquility.

But he knew that in this tranquil forest stretching for eight hundred miles, in some deep valley or dense forest, there must be living beings or deceased spirits secretly cultivating their spirituality.

Danger lurked, and no one dared to reveal their presence.

Li Weiyi blew the whistle again, but Qing Zijin still did not appear.

Now we can only hope that Tang Wanzhou finds her in another underworld.

Li Weiyi set up a concealment formation and carved out a simple cave along the mountainside. He decided to spend the rest of his time here refining the Dragon Soul Source Light and quickly raise his cultivation to the peak of the first realm.

He once tried to weave a cocoon of time in the underworld, but it ended in failure.

The same applies in the Blood Sludge Space.

Ultimately, the Blood Mud Space is the Buddha's relic, which is still enveloped in the aura of the underworld.

In the Tanggu Sea, far from the Fusang Divine Tree, including the top of the Soul Sea Stone Peak, it is possible to weave a cocoon of time. Li Weiyi tested it; after staying inside for seven days, ten days had passed in the Netherworld when he came out.

Ultimately, he realized that the natural order of time would never allow two different time variations to coexist in the same space. It could also be due to his insufficient cultivation level.

To surpass ten times the time of the Underworld, one must seek out the legendary treasures of the Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins, which are related to the Great Chun.

The netherworld takes five hundred years as its season.

The Great Chun (a type of bamboo tree) takes eight thousand years as its seasons and thirty-two thousand years as its year.

It is said that the time multiplier of that treasure is sixteen times that of the underworld and one hundred and sixty times that of the outside world.

These are the treasures that those true disciples most wanted to find and take out of the Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins. But they are rare and hard to come by; they don't appear every time there's a weak cycle.

With Li Weiyi's current cultivation level, he is no match for Qingzao, so he can only abandon distracting thoughts and honestly go into seclusion to cultivate.

Two years passed quickly in the Heavenly Capital River Underworld.
