Chapter 55: Heavenly Law Law Convergence

When the City Defense Battalion arrived, the giant ape deformed human nearly four meters tall jumped into the river and disappeared.

Li Youyi did not pursue, worried that Zhao Zhizhuo would have an accident at this critical juncture. When he caught up with him, Zhao Zhizhuo was on his way to seek help from the Cangli tribe.

Zhao Zhizhuo said angrily: "The person who made the move was the silver-backed ape Yao Zhengsheng, a top 100 martial artist in the Seven Springs Hall of Lizhou, a person of the same era as me. It must be that Yang Yun and Yang Qingxi promised a Five Seas Pill, so he dared to kill in the street like this. It is simply too lawless. We will go find the First Head now; they are insulting the First Head's face, and the First Head will not ignore it."

Li Youyi stopped him: "Do you have evidence? Who can prove that Yao Zhengsheng was invited by Yang Yun? Even if the First Head believes our judgment and believes it was someone invited by Yang Yun, what can he do without evidence? A senior beating a junior?"

Zhao Zhizhuo quickly calmed down and said: "Yang Yun has already made such a ruthless move, so there must be follow-ups. Why don't we go find the Young Clan Leader? The Young Clan Leader is the number one person of the young generation in Nine Licheng. If he goes to warn Yang Yun, it won't cause any gossip."

Li Youyi also had a sense of pride in his heart: "A Yang Yun is just one person, not Yang Qingxi. Besides, the Young Clan Leader can suppress Yang Yun on the surface, but where can he stop Yang Yun's dark hands behind his back? We shouldn't think of seeking help every time we encounter something; things in this world ultimately have to rely on ourselves. Old Zhao, where is your former heroic spirit? Has it all been worn away in these ten years?"

Zhao Zhizhuo smiled bitterly: "I am old, where is there any sharpness from the past? I have already been beaten to my knees by others; talking about heroic spirit again is just asking for ridicule. You say it, what should we do next?"

"Go see that senior first; helping you reshape the spring eye is the top priority."

Li Youyi walked out, thinking of something, and said: "Old Zhao, Yang Yun owes me a carriage, which is not a small amount of money; I have recorded it for him!"

Zhao Zhizhuo followed, looking at Li Youyi's back, secretly admiring this young man's calmness and his sharpness that never extinguished. If it were someone else, at this moment, they would either hide in the Cangli tribe or have slipped out of the city in a sorry state.

The two walked along the river.

Li Youyi walked and asked: "Old Zhao, what does the Seven Springs Hall and the top 100 martial artists you mentioned earlier mean?"

Zhao Zhizhuo said: "The Seven Springs Hall is a ring opened by the Provincial Governor's Office, where seven-spring martial cultivators can go to make a name for themselves."

"You must know, after a magic martial arts cultivator opens the seventh spring, the Hundred Wisdoms of the head, they can choose to impact the Five Seas Realm. Once they break into the Five Seas Realm, for any force, they are a sweet pastry."

"But this hurdle, out of ten, eight or nine cannot pass. The seven-spring martial cultivators trapped to death below the Five Seas Realm in the entire Lizhou are countless, and some can only be servants of big clans."

Li Youyi thought of that sentence in the *Nine Springs Outline*: "Top-tier talent, twenty years of bitter cultivation, seven springs are promising."

In other words, a martial cultivator with top-tier talent has hope of opening seven springs in their twenties.

And top-tier talent is just the threshold for cultivating martial arts in the eyes of those million-level forces and sects.

Not to mention the even larger number of medium-tier talents. These people struggle for decades, and there are plenty who can enter the seven springs.

Zhao Zhizhuo said: "The original intention of the Provincial Governor's Office in opening the Seven Springs Hall was to select the strongest seven-spring martial cultivators and then bestow the Five Seas Pill by the Lingxiao Palace. This naturally made the seven-spring martial cultivators of the world crazy, finding an opportunity to promote to the Five Seas Realm."

"In the most prosperous times, as long as you entered the top 100 of a province's Seven Springs Hall, you could get a Five Seas Pill. The saying of top 100 martial artists originated at that time, representing both glory and the opportunity to promote to the Five Seas Realm."

"Ten years ago... to be precise, three years earlier, after the Lingxiao Palace issued the Small Field Order, the Five Seas Pill was not so easy to get!"

"War broke out, and the world rebelled against the Lingxiao Palace together. In Lizhou, the Five Seas Pill was stopped directly."

"But the Seven Springs Hall still has its significance. There, one can slightly satisfy the sense of achievement of those martial arts cultivators who cannot promote to the Five Seas Realm. In addition, major forces will also select people from the top 100 martial artists to bestow the Five Seas Pill and subdue them for their own use."

"The upward channel is still there, but it has become narrower. But the Five Seas Pill is so precious, major forces don't have enough for themselves; how much price do you have to pay to get the ones that leak out?"

Zhao Zhizhuo continued: "These old seven-springs, although they cannot break through the realm, can spend decades honing their techniques to the extreme. Those who can become top 100 martial artists are all not simple. In the same realm, those young pure immortal bodies are not necessarily their opponents."

"I heard that there are figures in the top 100 martial artists who are ranked extremely high and have defeated Five Seas Realm experts."

"Of course, that is definitely not seven-spring cultivation; eight springs are the most likely. After all, there are some who open eight springs and cannot break the Five Seas in every province; even taking the Five Seas Pill is useless."

"That silver-backed ape Yao Zhengsheng, born with divine strength, has a body much larger than other deformed humans. Ten years ago, he cultivated the Kaishan Rod Technique to the realm of law convergence, but he was only ranked at the back of the top 100 martial artists."

"He is over fifty years old this year, and if he doesn't fight for his life, he will have no chance at all."

Li Youyi asked: "What realm is this realm of law convergence?"

"Heavenly Law Law Convergence!"

Zhao Zhizhuo explained: "It is to cultivate a technique to the point where it can fit some wonderful laws between heaven and earth. Of course, this fit can only be considered to have touched a little bit. But it is also quite remarkable, requiring day after day of grinding, decades of bitter cultivation of one technique, and very few can succeed. Many Five Seas Realm magic martial arts cultivators cannot reach this step."

"Fortunately, you have magic tools, and you can use the sharpness of magic tools to break his Kaishan Rod Technique, otherwise it would be dangerous today!"

Every time Li Youyi recalled Yao Zhengsheng's unavoidable rod strike, he felt amazed. It seemed that he needed to know more about Heavenly Law Law Convergence in the future and strive to cultivate such a move.

When he performed "Taiyi Opens the Sea" at the critical moment earlier, he felt very much.

It's a pity that that feeling could not be sustained.

Li Youyi took Zhao Zhizhuo and circled for a long time, even changing his clothes, and after confirming that he was not being followed, he found an inn at random.

Senior experts might not necessarily live in luxurious places.

A simpler inn might be more suitable. The main thing is...

Renting a room is cheap.

A hundred paces away from the inn, Li Youyi stopped and said: "Old Zhao, you should also be able to see that although we are from out of town, our identities are not simple."

Zhao Zhizhuo had long had such a guess. After all, how could a person with a simple identity possess magic tools? How could they let two companions undergo pure immortal body transformation?

He even guessed that Li Youyi and the others were not from the Lingxiao Life Realm, perhaps from some strange secret realm's minority tribe.

Li Youyi began to tell the story he had prepared long ago: "That senior is also from our side, but his body had some problems, and he is temporarily healing in Nine Licheng. I only recently got in touch with him. Logically, I shouldn't have brought you here; if the news leaks..."

Zhao Zhizhuo said hurriedly: "I understand the rules! I swear by the God of Nine Li; if I leak half a word, let me lose everything I care about in this life, including my life."

"Then I will go report it first; you wait here for me."

For the sake of safety, Li Youyi gritted his teeth and spent two hundred silver coins for a month's long-term rent.

He took the stone coffin out of the Evil Camel Bell, arranged the room properly, and then went to pick up Zhao Zhizhuo.

"Knock, knock!"

Li Youyi knocked on the door and asked: "Senior, my friend is here; can we come in?"

Master Guan's voice sounded: "Come in!"

The two pushed the door and entered. Inside, the Nether Mist was thick, and nothing could be seen in the pitch-black darkness.

It was Master Guan who drove the Ghost Flag, clearly not wanting Zhao Zhizhuo to know that he was a remnant corpse.

Zhao Zhizhuo was nervous and at a loss. This moment finally arrived, and his heart was still without a bottom. After all, reshaping the spring eye was as difficult as ascending to heaven. What if the magic tool the other side mastered was not of a high enough grade? What if his spring eye had been damaged for too long? What if...

There were too many "what ifs."

"Junior surnamed Zhao, come over!" Master Guan said.

Li Youyi's perception was keen. Although he couldn't see, he immediately realized that Master Guan was sitting on the bed at this moment, his scalp felt a bit numb, and he imagined the scene of a remnant corpse sitting there in his mind.

Master Guan helped Zhao Zhizhuo refine the spring liquid and reshape the spring eye, not using the Evil Camel Bell, but his own Nine Emperor Banner.

This made Li Youyi even more certain of his guess.

The news of the Dragon Street assassination incident spread to the clan school opened by the Cangli tribe in Nine Licheng just half an hour later.

The head of the clan school had already rushed back to the ancestral mountain because of the Snow Wolf King tooth incident.

Now the clan school was sat in command by Li Songlin.

In the clan school, Li Songlin, the Cangli First Head, learned of this news, and all the laziness on his body was swept away, like a sword out of its sheath: "Too lawless! How is the person?"

The person who came to report recounted the detailed process of the assassination.

"Silver-backed ape Yao Zhengsheng still has some skills; being able to withstand his assassination, although borrowing magic tools, is still very bright," Li Songlin said.

The person who came to report said: "There are eyewitnesses who say that his broken-rod sword strike already has the shadow of Heavenly Law Law Convergence."

"This is indeed a bit unexpected. How old is he?"

Li Songlin became interested, and a thought arose in his heart, because he also cultivated sword technique, and asked: "Have they gone to the Cangli Clan Mansion?"

The person who came to report shook his head: "They didn't go to the Young Clan Leader's side, nor did they go to the Nine Li Dao Academy to find Fourth Miss; it seems they want to carry it themselves."

"It is indeed quite a backbone."

Li Songlin smiled, but soon his expression turned cold again: "The affairs of the young generation, it is not convenient for me to intervene. You go and tell Cangli that he is responsible for this matter. If he can't even suppress a Yang Qingxi, his name as the first inheritor of the Nine Li tribe will not be loud, and no one will really take him seriously."

"In addition, you go to the Yang tribe and pass a word: if there is any accident with the people in that residence within a month, I will sweep through all the gangs of the Yang tribe in Nine Licheng. At that time, don't blame me for not giving face."

The person who came to report said: "What about after a month?"

Li Songlin smiled: "I let that kid enter the Nine Li Dao Academy. Once he enters the Dao Academy, he will be absolutely much safer, but he is timid and afraid of this and that, hesitating. Just treat it as forcing him! One month is enough for him to consider clearly!"

Before the live broadcast, I promised a certain alliance leader brother to send everyone a signed Huang Long sword, but the pressure of writing recently is too great, and there is really no time. Fish Sister-in-law just gave birth to a child and is also very busy. Very sorry, I will make up for it when sending peripherals in the future.
