Chapter 55: Heavenly Law
When the city defense battalion arrived, the giant ape-like freak, which was nearly four meters tall, jumped into the river and disappeared.
Li Weiyi did not chase him, fearing that Zhao Zhizhuo might get into trouble at this critical juncture. When he caught up with him, Zhao Zhizhuo was on his way to the Cangli tribe to seek help.
Zhao Zhizhuo said angrily, "The man who attacked was Silverback Ape Yao Zhengsheng, a top 100 warrior of Lizhou Qiquan Hall, a man of my generation. Yang Yun and Yang Qingxi must have promised him the Five Seas Pill, so he dared to kill people in the street. It's simply too lawless. Let's go find Jia Shou now. They are insulting Jia Shou's face, and Jia Shou will not ignore it."
Li Weiyi stopped him and said, "Do you have any evidence? Who can prove that Yao Zhengsheng was invited by Yang Yun? Even if Chief Jia believes our judgment and believes that it was Yang Yun who invited him, what can he do without evidence? A senior going to beat up a junior?"
Zhao Zhizhuo quickly calmed down and said, "Since Yang Yun has done such a cruel thing, there must be a follow-up. Otherwise, we can go find the young patriarch. The young patriarch is the number one of the younger generation in Jiuli City. He will go and warn Yang Yun, and it won't cause gossip."
Li Weiyi also had a sense of pride in his heart: "He is just Yang Yun, not Yang Qingxi. Besides, the young patriarch can suppress Yang Yun in public, but how can he stop Yang Yun's hidden hand behind the scenes? When we encounter problems, we should not only think of asking for help. In the end, we have to rely on ourselves for everything in this world. Where is your former heroism, Lao Zhao? Has it all been worn away in the past ten years?"
Zhao Zhizhuo smiled bitterly: "I am old now, and I don't have the same vigor as before. I have been beaten to my knees a long time ago. Talking about heroism is just a joke. Tell me, what should we do next?"
"Let's go see that senior first and help you break the spring and reshape it. That's the most urgent thing."
Li Weiyi walked out, and something occurred to him. He said, "Yang Yun owes me a carriage, which is a lot of money. I'll make a note of it!"
Zhao Zhizhuo chased after him, looking at Li Weiyi's back, secretly admiring the young man's calmness and unquenchable spirit. If it were someone else, they would either hide in the Cangli tribe or leave the city in disgrace.
The two walked along the river.
As Li Weiyi walked, he asked, "Old Zhao, what did you mean by the Seven Springs Hall and the top 100 warriors?"
Zhao Zhizhuo said, "Qiquan Hall is an arena opened by the governor's mansion. All Qiquan martial artists can go there to make a name for themselves."
"You have to know that after a martial arts practitioner opens the Hundred Wisdoms on the top of the Seventh Spring, he can choose to impact the Five Seas Realm. Once he breaks into the Five Seas Realm, it will be a sweet treat for any force."
"But eight or nine out of ten people can't pass this level. There are countless Qiquan martial artists trapped and died below the Five Seas Realm in the entire Lizhou, and some of them can only work as servants in large families."
Li Weiyi thought of the sentence in the "Nine Springs Outline": "The best talents practice hard for twenty years, and there is hope for the Seven Springs."
In other words, a martial artist with superior talent can hope to open the Seven Springs in his twenties.
And in the eyes of those millions of powerful families and sects, superior talents are merely the threshold for practicing martial arts.
Not to mention the even larger number of people of medium talent. Many of these people can enter the Seven Springs after enduring for decades.
Zhao Zhizhuo said: "The original intention of the governor's mansion to open the Seven Springs Hall was to select the strongest among the Seven Springs martial artists, and then have the High Heaven Palace grant them the Five Seas Pill. This naturally made the Seven Springs martial artists in the world crazy, as they found an opportunity to advance to the Five Seas realm."
"During the most prosperous period, anyone who entered the top 100 of the Seven Springs Hall in a state could obtain the Five Seas Pill. The saying of the top 100 warriors arose at that time, representing both glory and the opportunity to advance to the Five Seas Realm."
"Ten years ago... to be exact, three years earlier, after Lingxiao Palace issued the Xiaotian Order, it became harder to obtain the Five Seas Pills!"
"After the war broke out and the world rebelled against Lingxiao Palace, the production of the Five Seas Pill was stopped directly."
"But the Seven Springs Hall still has its meaning of existence. There, it can slightly satisfy the sense of achievement of those martial arts practitioners who cannot be promoted to the Five Seas Realm. In addition, the major forces will also select people from the top 100 warriors, grant them 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 Pills are so precious that even the big forces can't use them all. What price will you have to pay to obtain what is leaking out?"
Zhao Zhizhuo continued, "Although these old Qiquan cannot break through their realm, they can spend decades honing their skills and almost reach the ultimate level. Those who can become top 100 warriors are not simple. Those young pure immortal bodies at the same realm may not be their opponents."
"I heard that there is a person who ranks very high among the top 100 warriors and defeated the Five Seas Realm."
"Of course, that's definitely not the Seven Springs cultivation level, the Eight Springs is the most likely. After all, there are some people in every state who have opened the Eight Springs but cannot break the Five Seas. It's useless even if they take the Five Seas Pill."
"The silver-backed ape Yao Zhengsheng was born with supernatural powers. His body is much larger than other deformed species. Ten years ago, he practiced the Kaishan stick technique to the level of law integration, but he is only ranked at the back of the top 100 warriors."
"He is already over 50 years old. If he doesn't try his best, he will have no chance at all."
Li Weiyi asked: "What is this state of unity?"
"Heaven's Law is in harmony!"
Zhao Zhizhuo explained, "It means practicing a technique to the point where it can conform to some of the wonderful laws of heaven and earth. Of course, this conformity can only be considered a slight touch. But it is still quite remarkable. It requires day after day of practice. Even after decades of hard practice on a technique, very few people can succeed. Many martial arts practitioners in the Five Seas Realm cannot reach this level."
"Fortunately you have a magic weapon, you can use it to break his mountain-breaking stick technique, otherwise it would be dangerous today!"
Li Weiyi was always amazed when he thought of Yao Zhengsheng's unavoidable blow. It seemed that he needed to learn more about the Heavenly Dao Fa He and try to cultivate such a move.
When he used "Taiyi Kaihai" in a critical moment before, he felt it very well.
It's a pity that feeling couldn't last.
…
Li Weiyi took Zhao Zhizhuo around for a long time, even changing their clothes, to make sure they were not being followed before they randomly found an inn.
Senior masters do not necessarily live in luxurious places.
A more ordinary inn might be more suitable. The most important thing is...
It’s cheap to book a room.
A hundred feet away from the inn, Li Weiyi stopped and said, "Old Zhao, you should be able to see that although we are outsiders, our identities are not simple."
Zhao Zhizhuo had already guessed this. After all, how could a person of simple status possess a magical weapon? How could he allow his two companions to transform into pure immortal bodies? He even guessed that Li Weiyi and his companions were not from Lingxiao Biota, but perhaps a minority in some strange secret realm.
Li Weiyi began to tell the story he had prepared long ago: "That senior is also from our side, but he had some health problems and is temporarily recovering in Jiuli City. I only got in touch with him recently. Logically speaking, I shouldn't have brought you here, in case the news leaked out..."
Zhao Zhizhuo said quickly, "I know the rules! I swear by the God of Jiuli that if I tell anyone, I will lose everything I care about in this life, including my life."
"Then I'll go and report first. You wait here for me."
For the sake of safety, Li Weiyi gritted his teeth and spent two hundred silver coins to pay for a month's long-term housing rent.
He took the sarcophagus out of the evil camel bell and arranged the room before going to pick up Zhao Zhizhuo.
“Boom boom!”
Li Weiyi knocked on the door and asked, "Senior, my friend is here, can we come in?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Senior Guan's voice sounded: "Come in!"
The two of them pushed the door open and walked in. It was foggy and pitch black inside and nothing could be seen.
It was Senior Coffin who activated the ghost flag. Obviously, he did not want Zhao Zhizhuo to know that he was a mutilated corpse.
Zhao Zhizhuo was so nervous that he was at a loss. This moment finally came, but he was still unsure. After all, it was extremely difficult to rebuild the broken spring. What if the other party didn't have a magic weapon of a high enough grade? What if his spring had been damaged for too long? What if...
There are too many what-ifs.
"Young man surnamed Zhao, come here!" said Senior Guan.
Li Weiyi had a keen sense, and although he couldn't see, he immediately realized that Senior Guan was sitting on the bed. His scalp felt numb, and he imagined a scene of a mutilated corpse sitting there.
Senior Guan helped Zhao Zhizhuo refine the spring liquid and reshape the spring eye. He did not use the evil camel bell, but his own Nine Emperor Banner.
This made Li Weiyi even more certain of his guess.
…
Just half an hour later, the news of the attack on Shenlong Street reached the clan school opened by the Cangli tribe in Jiuli City.
The head of the clan school has rushed back to the ancestral mountain because of the incident with the Snow Wolf King's teeth.
The clan school is now headed by Li Songlin.
In the clan school, when Li Songlin, the leader of the Cangli clan, heard the news, all the laziness in his body was swept away, like a sharp sword being unsheathed: "Too presumptuous! How is the person?"
The person who came to report the incident narrated the details of the attack and killing.
"Silverback Ape Yao Zhengsheng is still quite capable. He was able to withstand his attack. Although he had the help of a magic weapon, he was still very impressive." Li Songlin said.
The person who came to report said: "An eyewitness said that his broken stick and sword already had the shadow of the Heavenly Dao Law."
"That's a little unexpected. How old is he?"
Li Songlin became interested and had an idea in mind, because he also practiced swordsmanship, so he asked, "Did the two of them go to the Cangli Clan Mansion?"
The person who came to report shook his head: "He didn't go to the young clan leader, nor did he go to Jiuli Taoist Temple to find the fourth young lady. It seems that he wants to do it himself."
"He's quite courageous."
Li Songlin smiled, but soon his face turned cold again: "It is not convenient for me to interfere in the affairs of the younger generation. You go and tell Cangli that he is responsible for this matter. If he can't even suppress Yang Qingxi, his title as the first inheritor of the Jiuli tribe will not be well known, and no one will really take him seriously."
"Also, go to the Yang clan and tell them that if anyone in that mansion makes any mistakes within a month, I will wipe out all the Yang clan gangs in Jiuli City. Don't blame me for not giving you face then."
The person who came to report asked: "What about one month later?"
Li Songlin smiled and said, "I let that kid enter Jiuli Taoist Temple. It will definitely be much safer inside the Taoist Temple, but he is timid and hesitant. I will force him. One month is enough time for him to think it over!"
…
In the previous live broadcast, I promised a certain leader to sign the Yellow Dragon Sword that he gave to everyone, but I have been under too much pressure to write recently and I really don’t have time. Sister Yu has just had a baby and is very busy. I am very sorry, I will make it up when I give out peripherals later.
