Chapter 562: Conferring the Title of True Person Taiyi

On this day, on a painted boat on Xianghu Lake in the capital.

Li Jiye, as the current Son of Heaven, and Li Yi talked a lot, from family matters to the future of cultivation. Having not seen each other for so many years, they eliminated many barriers and drew closer through this long conversation, so the day passed very quickly.

At the same time, after discussion between the father and son, a rough plan emerged.

When the plan took shape, Li Jiye, as the Son of Heaven, left, because he had to start implementing this plan.

Li Yi was not idle either, quietly waiting for the opportunity to arrive.

He had already accepted a day's worth of incense belief power, so after his father left, he continued to cultivate, using this power to open up new acupoints, and also preparing for the upcoming plan.

After all, the stronger the strength, the more secure the follow-up would be.

At this moment, Li Yi had used the power of incense belief to open up twenty-four acupoints. This was already the limit. This was the limit of incense he could currently obtain under the title of True Person Taiyi. To go further, he had to be conferred by the imperial court.

"Although I have opened so many acupoints, my strength increase is limited because these acupoints have not been filled, and the metal energy is still being refined."

He held a seven-colored stone in his hand at this moment.

Streams of golden aura flowed into Li Yi's body, and he himself was wrapped in red mist, burning like a raging fire. Under the roasting of this heart-fire energy, this golden energy became even purer and more refined, being returned to his lung acupoint.

At this moment, wisps of golden light condensed on Li Yi's body, reflecting the red mist firelight, extremely miraculous.

But even with the seven-colored stone assisting, collecting metal energy was easy, yet in these two days, he had only filled one acupoint and had not reached the perfection of the second layer of the Five Qi Realm.

However, Li Yi had eaten all the Spirit Blood in these two days, his energy and blood were vigorous, and his Dragon-Tiger Divine Power was even more terrifying than before. His strength could be considered to have made significant progress.

On the morning of the fourth day.

At this time, Li Yi in the painted boat suddenly opened his eyes, waking up from his cultivation.

At the same time.

A royal honor guard team from the imperial court walked from the palace along the Imperial Road into the capital. Along the way, horns were blown and grand music was played. At the same time, a carriage pulled by five fine horses drove over, with the Imperial Guard protecting it on the left and right sides. The people responsible for driving the carriage were two women. Those two women were dressed in palace attire, with dignified postures, and a pair of light golden pupils that appeared sacred and extraordinary.

This was the Emperor's Golden Pupil Guard.

"What major event has happened in the imperial court? Such a big formation, what are they doing?"

"Not very clear, but look at that carriage, pulled by five fine horses. This is the courtesy of a prince or noble. As the saying goes, the Son of Heaven drives six, and the feudal lords drive five. It looks like someone has been conferred as a prince."

"It must be that one of the current Emperor's sons has been conferred as a prince. I saw the honor guard for conferring a prince a few years ago, but it didn't have this kind of style."

The dignitaries and commoners near the Imperial Road discussed it one after another.

But very soon.

A piece of news spread like crazy in the capital.

"It's not conferring a prince, but the Emperor is going to confer a National Teacher. Remember the True Person Taiyi who appeared in the capital before? He has been conferred as the National Teacher, True Person Taiyi."

"National Teacher, True Person Taiyi? Actually such a thing? What a joke, a Daoist priest has ascended to heaven in one step?"

"What Daoist priest, that is a true immortal. Didn't you see the sky full of starlight lighting up the sky the night before last? That was True Person Taiyi casting a spell. You go near Xianghu Lake now and see, the houses there were washed away by the flood, and were all rebuilt by True Person Taiyi overnight. Isn't this something an immortal can do?"

"Wait, brother, how do you know so much? What is your name?"

"My surname is Shui, given name Jun. I have things to do, goodbye." This person left in a hurry.

And with the help of the imperial court's power, no one in the capital now did not know the name of True Person Taiyi.

Although he had not been officially conferred yet, a huge power of incense belief was already gathering from all directions, rushing straight toward Li Yi on the painted boat.

Li Yi felt as if his whole body was permeated with sandalwood, his soul floating as if he were about to become an immortal and attain the Dao. It was another indescribable feeling of fullness and power. It seemed that even if he discarded his physical body now, he could suppress the world with the power of his soul, striking out with Dragon-Tiger giant power.

"Quantitative change leads to qualitative change. Sure enough, when the power of incense belief is large enough, there is nothing that cannot be done. My soul strength is increasing at an unimaginable speed, which brings my cultivation speed along with it, advancing by leaps and bounds."

He felt the joy of incense-becoming-gods for the first time at this moment.

This speed of becoming stronger like riding a rocket while lying down was indeed fascinating.

He tried to perform the Heaven and Earth Energy Gathering Great Method.

Instantly.

Above the capital, the heaven and earth spiritual energy within a hundred miles rushed toward him crazily. Then, the fire in his heart soared into the sky. After just one refinement, a pure golden energy was swallowed into his abdomen and returned to his acupoints.

An acupoint was not filled, but according to this cultivation speed, within three days, he would truly reach the perfection of the second layer of the Five Qi Realm, and could even easily impact the third layer of the Five Qi Realm, and even the fourth layer.

And with the continuous gathering of incense power, Li Yi's soul had been completely wrapped by the power of incense belief, like an incense god, but he was more powerful than other incense gods because his soul was the soul of an Evolver and a Daoist, capable of displaying more powerful strength than ordinary incense gods.

But with so much incense covering him, a strange thing also appeared.

Above Li Yi's head, a phantom, crystal-clear flower was actually growing slowly at this moment, and had a tendency to bloom.

Xiang Xiangzi's Primordial Spirit Flower was originally a seed planted on him. Now it had also benefited from the light of incense belief, starting to bloom in advance before Li Yi reached the Five Qi Facing Origin realm.

However, it was only blooming.

These incense powers were not enough to let the Primordial Spirit Flower of a former Three Flower Realm expert completely recover and wake up.

But even so, it was already very amazing. As long as it continued, it was estimated that it wouldn't be long before Xiang Xiangzi would return again.

At this moment,

The imperial court's honor guard had arrived at the Imperial Road closest to Xianghu Lake and stopped.

At this moment, a female official with golden pupils, holding an imperial decree, arrived near the painted boat under the escort of armored soldiers.

【Author's note: Read the content in one go!】

"Is Daoist Taiyi on the painted boat in the center of the lake?" the female official with golden pupils asked.

The next moment.

A young Daoist walked out of the painted boat. This Daoist had black hair draped over his shoulders, wore a red jade Daoist robe, held Dragon-Tiger energy and wore silver electricity, and stepped on a golden auspicious cloud, drifting over slowly.

Many people had never seen Daoist Taiyi, but when they truly saw him, their pupils revealed shock. He was truly an immortal person, possessing an indescribable power, and after he approached, their bodies trembled for some reason.

It was as if this person was born superior, not comparable to ordinary mortals.

The female official with golden pupils responsible for conveying the decree was very shocked at this moment, because she didn't know if it was an illusion, but the aura of the Daoist Taiyi before her, and that kind of feeling, were very similar to the Emperor, although there were some individual differences, the essence was the same.

"Has he also practiced the Evolution Method?"

The female official with golden pupils was born from the Golden Pupil Guard. She had also practiced evolution; otherwise, her pair of pupils could not have turned into golden pupils. But as far as she knew, the Evolution Method was taught by the Emperor to the Golden Pupil Guard and the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and it was impossible for it to spread out. Moreover, the life level of this Daoist Taiyi had reached a very high level.

The huge difference brought about by that kind of life made her tremble all over, as if facing a sacred being.

"Da, Daoist Taiyi, the Emperor has a decree," the female official with golden pupils forced herself to calm down and said.

"I don't know what the decree is?" Li Yi performed a salute calmly.

Only then did the female official with golden pupils open the imperial decree and read it: "By the order of the Emperor, I have heard that there is a high person who has attained the Dao in the capital, named Taiyi, who has the method of immortality, the ability to summon wind and rain, and the virtue of saving all living things. Today, I wish to worship Daoist Taiyi as the National Teacher, bestowing the title of True Person Taiyi, to protect the national fortune. This is the decree."

"I, Taiyi, accept the decree and thank the Emperor." Li Yi took the imperial decree. He understood that this was just the first step of the plan.

And when he accepted the imperial decree, obtained the imperial court's conferment, and was crowned with the title of True Person Taiyi, an even larger power of incense belief rushed into the sky again from the capital of three hundred miles, and even the nearby towns, and then rushed toward him like a giant wave.

"It's here."

Li Yi's eyes moved slightly, looking at the overwhelming power of incense belief.

He knew that the incense belief obtained during this first conferment was the most, and afterward, it would depend on your own management to see if you could win the hearts of the people and be worshipped by others.

And as this power of incense belief fell into himself.

Li Yi instantly felt that his potential was infinite. With just a thought, the spiritual energy of the sky and earth returned to his body, and the golden energy from all directions was automatically incorporated into his acupoints. And the Primordial Spirit Flower above his head also completely bloomed at this moment. And in that flower, a woman sleeping soundly like a baby gradually manifested.

This power of incense belief was too large, and with his current strength, he could not completely digest it. He could only use it roughly like other incense gods, attaching the power of incense belief to his body to increase some changes in his body.

"Taiyi, have you reached the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top?" Suddenly, a woman's voice appeared in his mind.

Xiang Xiangzi's divine sense had actually recovered. Although it had not fully gestated, her consciousness had returned.

"No, no, you haven't reached the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top. What kind of power is this that can actually make my Primordial Spirit seed bloom again? My Primordial Spirit is actually recovering... Inconceivable, truly inconceivable." Xiang Xiangzi's tone then became shocked. She discovered that the speed of her Primordial Spirit's gestation was very fast.

This kind of speed was very inconceivable, as if it were fake.

"Immortal Aunt, I have come to a new world. This is a world of incense-becoming-gods. However, now is not the time to talk about this. Immortal Aunt, you can slowly experience and understand it. Soon you will understand what is going on," Li Yi replied, and then followed the female official with golden pupils toward the Imperial Road.

There, a magnificent carriage was waiting for him.

Li Yi was going to take this carriage into the palace to meet the Emperor. Of course, this was just a formality. The purpose was to be able to walk in the court openly in the future, paving the way for the next step of the plan.
