Is it good, or is it not?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Youyi sighed deeply. After careful deliberation, he felt that in the clash at the Five Seas realm level, the four major sects should still hold the upper hand, as they had united with various forces from outside the province. The Tianya Ridge alone was filled with powerful experts and dancing demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two paths of barbarian bandits, Coffin Mountain and the Earth Wolf King Army, were also not to be trifled with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the Nine Li Tribe, more than half a month had passed, and only the somewhat unreliable Li Ling had managed to kill her way here. The disparity was clear, which was deeply worrying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grassland was vast and boundless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With its yellow sky and black soil, it looked exactly like the ancient Xuanhuang territory from myths and legends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The so-called Xuanhuang refers to the mixture of heaven and earth; heaven is black (Xuan) and earth is yellow (Huang). But here, why is it reversed? The sky is yellow and the earth is black?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Youyi stood on a hill overgrown with weeds, peering at the yellow sky, a feeling of extreme, oppressive unease in his heart. Even if this world wasn't an Immortal Realm space, it was certainly extraordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After chasing for nearly a hundred miles, Wang Daozhen’s aura grew closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Youyi held the iron book, held his breath, and approached slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Daozhen was lying under a massive ancient tree that would take six or seven people to encircle. On the ground near his neck was a pool of crimson blood, and he was completely motionless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After checking, he discovered that Wang Daozhen had no pulse or breath; he was thoroughly dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No signs of a struggle. His neck bone and throat were severed instantly by a sharp weapon. Wang Daozhen didn't even have the strength to fight back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"His body temperature is still there; he died just a moment ago.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Array-Splitting Whip was taken. What a pity!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Youyi had caught up hoping to subdue Wang Daozhen and ask about the situation of the seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors, but his plan had fallen through. Now, he could only rely on his senses to find them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the air, a faint, lingering fragrance belonging to Li Ling remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no need to guess; it must have been her and Zuoqiu Ting’s doing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Truly formidable. A Five Seas realm second-stage Wu Xiu didn't even have the chance to strike before them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Youyi’s mood was heavy. He didn't consider himself much better than Wang Daozhen. If Zuoqiu Ting harbored hostility or had other schemes, how much of a chance would he have to escape with his life?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A figure from the first sequence of the younger generation was truly terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I must break through to the Five Seas realm as soon as possible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the past half year, he had been chasing quickly, but there was still a huge gap between him and the top geniuses of this world. Not to mention anything else, Li Ling’s current strength was already above his; in just half a year, she had gone from Earth Fire to Heaven Fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was improving, but so were others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking out the magic treasure bottle, Li Youyi decided to try swallowing the Golden Spring. Even if he couldn't temper his golden trace veins, increasing his physical strength was a good thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He drank a mouthful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Golden Spring entered his abdomen, it gradually turned from warm to scalding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Youyi sat cross-legged, his hands forming the Zi-Wu Taiji seal, breathing and exhaling. The magic power of his ten springs surged, circulating through his 120 trace veins. He consciously moved the misty vapor dissolved from the Golden Spring toward one of his silver trace veins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time passed, that silver trace vein was dyed with a layer of golden radiance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Excellent, it’s transforming. The tempering ability of this Golden Spring surpasses the Golden Spring of the Hidden Gate. It truly deserves to be called an Immortal Realm space.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Youyi calmed his excited heart and hurriedly drank a second mouthful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Golden Spring in the treasure bottle was only a thin layer; Li Youyi drank six mouthfuls and not a drop remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But these six mouthfuls allowed him to temper two new golden trace veins in a short period.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The number of golden trace veins in his body reached seventy-six.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, some of the Golden Spring substance had fused into his bones. Although he couldn't measure it, his bone density had certainly increased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Youyi was both happy and distressed at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was happy because the Golden Spring substance was truly wonderful; it could temper all the trace veins in his body into gold in a short time and increase his bone strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was distressed because the Golden Spring was gone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he wanted more, he could only go to the Thirty-Three Mile Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But according to that Luan Terrace Angel, entering the Thirty-Three Mile Mountain was as difficult as ascending to heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since there were treasures like \"Immortal Soil\" and \"Golden Spring,\" they must already be controlled by major forces. Ordinary Wu Xiu would likely be killed the moment they approached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if one were lucky enough to obtain the Golden Spring, they wouldn't be able to take it away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like that fellow who was hammered to death by Yuan Sheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was even more distressing was that other Wu Xiu would certainly be able to collect the Golden Spring to temper their bones. In the path of martial arts, wouldn't he fall behind others?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it, no matter how good the opportunity is, it’s not as important as my life. I’d better go find the seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors first!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Youyi’s mental power vaguely sensed that the Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors were in this Immortal Realm space, and he had a general direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following the sensed direction, he moved rapidly while remaining invisible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no day or night in the Immortal Realm space; the sky was always dim yellow. The light illuminating the world came from the pillar of light on the horizon and the immortal mist in mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After traveling more than a hundred miles, the hills on the grassland became increasingly massive, some even reaching seven or eight hundred meters in height.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trees became more numerous, moving from sparse to dense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vegetation was diverse and complex, no longer just dark green grass, but also velvet grass, wheat grass, shrubs… and large swathes of exotic grain flowers. The immortal mist settled into the sea of flowers in the mid-mountain wilderness, forming a beautiful, painting-like scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking through the mid-mountain flower sea and mist, the moment he climbed to the top of the mountain, Li Youyi witnessed a martial arts battle that shocked his heart, something he had never seen in the past twenty years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the open area extending into the distance like an ox’s back, a giant dragon circled in mid-air. Its head, scales, and claws were clearly distinguishable, not at all like the blurry shadow he summoned when performing the Yellow Dragon Ascending to Heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A peerless figure in silver robes and white garments stood at the center of the circling giant dragon, his arms waving and stirring up gusts of wind. The giant dragon dove down, heading straight for Jiang Ning, who was wearing a veil on the opposite side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning’s slender, fairy-like figure stood in the void, a pair of huge white feathered light-shadows growing from her back. Countless feathers condensed from magic energy drifted in the world centered around her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A magnificent building and palace platform, of unknown height, flew out from the void behind her, colliding with the diving giant dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magic energy surged and vented, and mud and rocks flew on the mountaintop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the sea of immortal mist halfway up the mountain was stirred and shaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Youyi held his breath and restrained his aura. At this moment, a strong longing for martial arts sprouted in his heart, just like a mortal catching a glimpse of a corner of the Heavenly Palace, never again willing to be just a mortal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That figure… looks very much like the mysterious guest who conspired with Shi Jiuzhai in Burial Immortal Town.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Youyi’s cultivation was no longer what it used to be, and he could clearly see the figures of the two people fighting on the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After his gaze fell on the face of the man in silver robes and white garments, Li Youyi couldn't help but be stunned: \"Zuoqiu Ting? No, that’s not right, they just look exactly the same; they aren't the same person at all. Could they be twin brothers?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man in silver robes and white garments had an unusually beautiful face, and his whole body exuded a compelling, noble, and outstanding temperament. His figure was tall and straight, his brows and eyes sharp—this was true masculine spirit, without any disharmonious elements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"War technique intent manifesting as a dragon. Could he be the legendary inheritor of the Dragon Gate?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Youyi secretly worried for Li Ling. That Zuoqiu Ting was most likely a member of the Dragon Gate; otherwise, it would be impossible for them to look so much alike. And the Dragon Gate was one of the masterminds who had painstakingly stirred up the great chaos in Lizhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning, like a feather fairy who didn't eat the food of mortals, broke through the air with a sword, accompanied by feathers filling the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The brilliance erupting from the sword was as bright and swift as lightning, slashing across, piercing the dragon shadow, and approaching the front of the Dragon Gate inheritor, Long Ting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Ting had a layer of golden dragon scales protecting his body, and he pointed out with a two-foot-long bone flute in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thousands of sword qi, like heavenly maidens scattering flowers, spread from the center of their duel to the entire mountaintop area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuang Yue, standing with a sword on her back, retreated rapidly to a further part of the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Youyi’s gaze fell on Zhuang Yue, sensing the aura of the seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors; the insect tube was hanging on her shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Strange, how could the seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors be captured by them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Youyi knew Zhuang Yue’s cultivation was very high and didn't dare to act rashly, so he mobilized his mental power, preparing to carve insect scripts to communicate with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Footsteps came from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Youyi was startled and immediately turned to look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His turning caused air fluctuations, which were immediately sensed by the stealthy Shi Shi. Shi Shi was also startled; who would have thought there was someone hiding invisibly nearby?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An invisibility talisman?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or a high-grade magic invisibility cloak?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two were eight or nine zhang apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Shi couldn't see Li Youyi, but knew his invisible position, so he hurriedly lay down and made a gesture for silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Within ten zhang, I only just sensed him. This little fatty is worthy of being a Dharma King of the Earth Wolf King Army.\" Li Youyi quickly recovered from his surprise and didn't dare to act rashly again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Shi approached cautiously and transmitted his voice with magic energy: \"I am Dharma King Shi Shi of the Earth Wolf King Army. Which faction are you from?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wang Daozhen of the Sui Sect, Wang family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Youyi changed his voice and replied in a low voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Excellent, one of our own. Brother Daozhen, what method are you using? Your invisibility and aura-restraining skills are marvelous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Shi was very interested in invisibility treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A family heirloom.\" Li Youyi didn't dare to reveal too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Shi shifted his gaze away from Li Youyi’s direction, his bright little eyes fixed on Zhuang Yue, a smile overflowing from the corners of his mouth: \"Brother Daozhen, why don't we join forces and take the opportunity to capture that woman from the Nine Li Hidden Gate?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Youyi was astonished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He really didn't understand why Shi Shi thought Zhuang Yue was from the Nine Li Hidden Gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn't dare to ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asking would expose his identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Shi said: \"After capturing her, we can force out information about the Nine Li Hidden Gate. How about we share it between our two families?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Youyi wanted to probe all the forces involved in carving up Lizhou, so he said: \"Such important information should naturally be reported to our respective families so we can act together and wipe out the Nine Li Hidden Gate first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Daozhen is a rare, straightforward person in the Sui Sect! But before acting, whoever holds more exclusive information will be able to negotiate for more benefits. Did Young Lady Yang not tell you this principle?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Shi moved even closer!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Youyi suddenly felt a sense of insecurity and glared at Shi Shi: \"Don't come any closer! If you get any closer, I’ll feel like you want to kill me first and then swallow the information about the Nine Li Hidden Gate all by yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Shi felt that this Wang Daozhen was a bit shrewd and difficult to scheme against, so he hurriedly put away the magic energy in his palms: \"We are allies. How could allies harm allies?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then you make the first move?\" Li Youyi said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Shi was very wary of Jiang Ning and said: \"That woman who can suppress the Dragon Gate inheritor is very terrifying. We should strike together, capture her quickly, and then escape immediately…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not good, someone has beaten us to it.\" Li Youyi exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>",2358,"2026-06-17T12:01:25.944Z","2026-06-18T03:38:37.614Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","84603ee188d1f7a58819a4572c5a92a8bbd8786040c1c7a0662d010e6f819c97","the-primeval-law-chapter-123","the-primeval-law-chapter-121",333,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-primeval-law-cover.jpg"]
