The Primordial Law

Chapter 670 Even at Three Thousand Years Old, His Lofty Ambitions Remain Undiminished

Li Weiyi and Li Ling walked along the crystal-clear Lingquan River to the mouth of the valley.

Li Songgu had already extinguished his spiritual flames, but the firewood pile under the cauldron was still crackling and popping.

The colorful broth in the pot is thick and bubbling, and the aroma of the meat is so enticing that it makes one's mouth water.

Yao Qingxuan, who had spent the day wandering around Chun City, seemed to be timing it perfectly. As soon as the cauldron lid was opened, she rushed back, stepping on the magical mist.

“The first piece was given to the Hidden Man. He was the one who went to the Three Palaces to ask for it. Otherwise, none of us would have gotten any,” Li Songgu said.

The demon king's meat was served one by one, without any seasoning. Li Weiyi was already so hungry he wanted to swallow his tongue. After shouting "Let's eat!", he took out his dagger and started cutting it.

Eating was one of the most important things to him, besides cultivation.

Li Songgu sat in the main seat, very refined, maintaining the dignity of a family head. After reciting a poem, he took a bite and nodded in satisfaction, exclaiming, "This meat is strong, it's good stuff!"

"It's just a bit old."

Li Ling's face puffed up like a steamed bun as she lowered her head and chewed repeatedly.

Li Songgu stroked his beard and said, "Having lived for 1,600 years, how could I not age?"

"Who says this meat is tough? This meat is amazing!" Li Weiyi genuinely felt that the meat of the Four Extreme Ape King was chewy and tasted absolutely delicious. Moreover, eating the flesh and blood of the Demon King could enhance the strength of one's physical body.

With increased physical strength, one can withstand greater strain when breaking through the chains of immortality.

"Wow!"

Nangong's white-clad figure landed at the valley entrance, and a melodious voice rang out: "Holy Master, the Grand Palace Master is waiting for you at the ancestral mountain of the Ancient Clan of Time, and requests that you go there immediately."

The Jiuli tribe members were all moved and looked at them with great envy.

Even powerful figures like the Third Palace Master and the First Palace Master are difficult for the Transcendent to meet easily, yet the Hermit has been summoned repeatedly. Such a prominent figure, in the past Lingxiao Realm, would have required even the governor to bow respectfully before him.

"Would you like to try a bite of the Demon King's flesh?" Li Weiyi shouted, extending a warm invitation.

Nangong didn't go over: "No need! The Grand Palace Master said it's very urgent."

Li Weiyi put down his bowl, chopsticks, and dagger. He was just about to ask Yu Yaozi about the uses of the Five-Colored Mountain. He instructed Yin Ershisi to put a jar of demon king meat and meat soup in a food box, and then he and Nangong hurried away.

"Such a powerful aura, I wonder what its origin is?"

Li Songgu was shocked because he couldn't see Nangong's face clearly, which was shrouded in the holy light.

Upon arriving in Chuncheng, he had already encountered several such unfathomable powerhouses, all of whom were quite young.

"It's the Great Longevity Cultivator, most likely the Holy Maiden of the Ancient Clan of Time that those Longevity Cultivators in the Holy Hall Realm were talking about. I'm done eating!" Yao Qingxuan's eyes were deep and unfathomable as he got up and walked into the valley, his competitive spirit fully aroused.

Arriving in Chuncheng, she experienced far greater shocks than Li Songgu.

……

The ancestral mountain of the ancient tribes.

Li Weiyi entered the hall alone and met with Yu Yaozi.

It was late at night, and the lights were on.

The hall was very quiet.

Yu Yaozi stood alone in the center of the hall, her black hair and jade-like face as if in deep thought. The killing aura that had formed on her body from killing the Bone Spirit Transcendent during the day still lingered, making her look powerful and like an empress who could destroy the world with a mere gesture.

Footsteps are heard.

Yu Yaozi glanced at Li Weiyi, who was carrying a food box, and saw that he was in a very good mood: "Your good days are coming to an end. Cherish the ease and comfort you have now!"

"Is the Grand Palace Master referring to the Hundred Realms' Struggle for Immortality?"

Li Weiyi placed the food box on the spirit table in the center of the hall, opened the lid, took out a bowl and spoon, cut the ape meat, and ladled out soup, which was steaming hot in the bowl.

Yu Yaozi seemed unaccustomed to a junior being so relaxed in front of her. She shifted her gaze to the side, looking at the mountains under the moonlight outside the window: "Whether it's Lingxiao Palace, the Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins, or the Holy Temple Realm, they don't actually need to participate in this battle. However, the number of powerful figures gathered in the Netherworld of the Dead is increasing, and the army of the dead is rushing in from all directions every day like a tide. Yu Baxian is determined to obtain the Spring of Life, and he is willing to make enemies of the world in order to force the Ancient Clan of Time to submit."

"Yu Baxian had long been aware of the existence of the Spring of Life and was quite certain that it was in the hands of the Ancient Clan of Time."

"The reason he didn't descend in his true form and directly attack the Ancient Clan of Time is because his blood energy is severely depleted. In his current state, he might be able to survive for several decades. But if he were to make a move, he might only be able to live for a few more years, or even worse. If he were to break through the Ancient Clan of Time but fail to find the Fountain of Life, there would be no second chance. In short, he couldn't afford to gamble with that one in ten thousand chance."

"A stalemate? That's true. For either side, retreating would be catastrophic. The army of the dead is happy to see humanity hindering each other. Once they capture the Holy Temple Realm, they can sweep across the entire Hundred Realms Realm. Facing the terrifying Yu Baxian, there's no way they'll back down. Haven't eaten in a while, have something to eat? Let's ease the pressure." Li Weiyi invited Yu'er. Yu Yaozi, of course, wasn't Yu'er. She glanced at the two bowls of meat soup on the table, and some scenes from her memories surfaced in her mind.

Finally, she restrained herself and said, "You eat. This palace master can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and moon to nourish herself."

Li Weiyi didn't insist, and started eating on his own, listening to Yu Yaozi continue her story.

After listening, Li Weiyi fell into thought and said seriously, "Is the Grand Palace Master putting his life force on me? To be honest, in a one-on-one fight, as a ninth-generation immortal, I am not afraid of anyone."

"But the number of immortals in the Demon Kingdom is definitely not small. For the sake of the Life Spring, they will fight ten against one, dozens against one, and even form battle formations, using poison, curses, and forbidden techniques without restraint. Yu Baxian will definitely promise them the most generous rewards, and will also issue the most terrible punishments."

"This is not something one person can do. Even a Great Longevity cultivator at the sixth or seventh level would probably have to back down."

Li Weiyi was not blindly confident; he knew that every Changsheng person was extraordinary.

Yu Yaozi said, "In reality, the situation is more than ten times more dangerous than you described. Because you will be facing all sorts of conspiracies and schemes. If Yu Baxian dared to agree, he must have been absolutely certain of success. Moreover, it's not just about the ninth generation of immortals. I have deduced that the Demon Kingdom has the ability to use the situation to force you to the opposite side of the eighth or even the seventh generation of immortals."

Li Weiyi did not believe that Yu Yaozi was exaggerating. After all, this conflict had lasted for three years, and once the Demon Kingdom realized that something was wrong, it would use many methods.

Yu Yaozi's prior statement gave him the opportunity to withdraw.

"Are you scared? You fight this battle for me, and I'll fight one for you in the future. If we win, we'll celebrate together; if we lose, we'll shoulder the burden together." In the candlelight, her exquisitely beautiful face flickered between light and shadow, as she pondered far beyond.

Li Weiyi put down his spoon: "The Grand Palace Master stands in a position far higher than I am now, and can see very far. May I ask why you are so certain that you will help me fight a battle in the future? There must be a reason."

“Speaking out now will definitely change the situation. You just need to remember that in this three-year conflict, our goal is not just the Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins, the Holy Temple Realm, or the Rainforest Realm. You have your battles, and I have my own level of combat,” Yu Yaozi said.

Li Weiyi said, "I have only one last question: Will Yu Baxian go back on his word three years from now?"

“Definitely! But as long as he swears an oath to the Human Emperor to kill him together, do you think the Mist Master and I won’t kill him? Do you think the Human Emperor wouldn’t want to quickly bring the chaos in the Demon Kingdom under control, lest the Netherworld of the Dead take advantage of it? From our perspective, we need a convincing reason to act. Otherwise, it will be like back then, with the Human Emperor collectively stopping the Mist Master from pursuing Yu Baxian. This time, they won’t. They might even help us share the spoils. Yu Baxian must understand this too, so he can only win,” Yu Yaozi said.

"I understand. Right now, defeating the army of the dead is more important than anything else."

Li Weiyi said, "Very well! The Grand Palace Master is three thousand years old and still has the ambition to rise to the top. How can I be cowardly and retreat, losing the fighting spirit of a young man?"

Yu Yaozi's stunningly beautiful face, as if sculpted from ice, revealed a smile that could captivate all beings: "I forgot to tell you, besides the Fountain of Life, there is also the Fountain of Life."

"Yu Baxian's offer was that as long as the Ancient Clan of Time offered the Spring of Life as a wager, the Demon Kingdom would not only immediately allow reinforcements from all the major realms to pass, but would also send a large number of Transcendent and Longevity Realm martial artists to participate in the war, regardless of the outcome three years later."

"In addition, the Demon Kingdom will also offer the Scepter of the Queen of Time as a bargaining chip. This item can mobilize the primal power of time and was lost in the battle 20,000 years ago."

"The clan leader has agreed! In the last hundred years, the Ancient Clan of Time has used the Netherworld to cultivate a large number of Longevity Realm martial cultivators, and they are full of confidence."

Li Weiyi nodded slightly, already able to imagine how fierce this battle would be: "I have a question in my mind, I wonder if the Grand Palace Master can help me answer it."

"Tell me, is it a problem with your cultivation?" Yu Yaozi asked.

Li Weiyi shook his head and asked curiously, "How many male concubines does the Third Palace Master have? Others may not know, but you certainly do."

Yu Yaozi's usually calm eyes paused for a moment, then her snow-white cheeks flushed slightly, and she looked over with a cold and stern expression: "You are only at the Longevity Realm, and you have only lived for a few decades. How many confidantes do you already have? What does it have to do with you? You are not allowed to mention this matter again."

……

Li Weiyi, together with Yu Yaozi, who was as graceful as a fairy, left Zushan and appeared in a desolate plain three thousand miles away, where there was no one for hundreds of miles around.

"boom!"

The Dao Ancestor's Taiji Fish flickered, releasing spatial ripples. The Five-Colored Mountain flew out of the Blood Mud Space and crashed heavily to the ground.

Subsequently, Li Weiyi mobilized the magical energy within his body and channeled it into the Five-Colored Mountain.

Time passed by minute by minute.

"Wow!"

The power of the five elements between heaven and earth continuously converges here.

Weeds grew wildly on the ground, moisture condensed into rain, the Five-Colored Mountain emitted a metallic luster, and a layer of firelight appeared, the surrounding world changing colors.

Li Weiyi took three steps back and let out a soft exclamation: "It's not like this in the Blood Mud Space. After activating it, there is no such change."

Yu Yaozi seemed to have thought of something extremely shocking: "There is only one possibility: the Blood Mud Space is not within the Five Elements. This is too incredible. Even immortals cannot escape the Five Elements."
