Chapter 562: Appointing the Great Yi True Person

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

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

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

When the plan took shape, Li 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.

Having already accepted a day's worth of incense fire belief power, after his father left, he continued to cultivate, using this power to open up new meridians and 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 fire belief to open up twenty-four meridians. This was already the limit; it was the limit of incense fire he could currently obtain under the title of Great Yi Immortal. To go any higher, he would need to be appointed by the imperial court.

"Although I have opened up so many meridians, my strength increase is limited because these meridians 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 aura, burning like a raging fire. Under the roasting of this heart-fire aura, this metal energy became even purer and more condensed, being returned to his lung meridian.

At this moment, strands of golden light condensed on Li Yi's body, reflecting the red mist firelight, appearing 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 meridian 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 blood energy was vigorous, and his Dragon-Tiger divine power was even more terrifying than before, so his strength could be considered to have made a not-insignificant progress.

On the morning of the fourth day.

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

At the same time.

A royal imperial guard procession walked from the palace into the capital along the Imperial Road. Along the way, horns were blown and grand music was played. At the same time, a carriage pulled by five fine horses drove over, flanked by the Imperial Guard. Responsible for driving the carriage were two women dressed in palace attire, with dignified postures and a pair of pale 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 grand display, what are they doing?"

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

"It must be that one of the current Emperor's sons has been made a prince. I saw the procession for making a prince a few years ago, but it wasn't this grand."

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

But very soon.

A piece of news spread through the capital like crazy.

"It's not making a prince, but the Emperor is going to appoint a State Preceptor. Remember that Great Yi Daoist who appeared in the capital before? He has been appointed as the Great Yi True Person State Preceptor."

"State Preceptor Great Yi True Person? There's actually such a thing? Are you kidding? A Daoist has stepped into the sky in one step?"

"What Daoist? That's a true immortal. Didn't you see the sky filled with starlight ignited in the sky a few nights ago? That was the Great Yi True Person casting spells. Go look near the Fragrant Lake now; the houses there were washed away by the flood, and they were all rebuilt overnight by the Great Yi True Person. 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, farewell." 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 the Great Yi True Person.

Although he had not been officially appointed, a huge power of incense fire belief had already gathered from all directions, rushing straight toward Li Yi on the painted boat.

Li Yi felt at this moment 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 fire belief is large enough, there is nothing that cannot be done. My soul strength is increasing at an unimaginable speed, which in turn makes my cultivation speed advance by leaps and bounds."

He felt the joy of incense fire godhood for the first time.

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

He tried to cast the Heaven and Earth Qi 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 rose to the sky. After just one refinement, a strand of pure metal energy was swallowed into his abdomen and returned to his meridians.

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

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

But with so much incense fire 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.

The Flower of Primordial Spirit of Xiang Xiang Xiangzi was originally a seed planted within his body; now, having also benefited from the light of incense-fire faith, it began to bloom ahead of schedule, even before Li Yi had reached the realm of Five Qi Toward Origin.

However, it was only blooming.

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

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

At this moment,

The imperial court's procession had already arrived at the Imperial Road closest to the Fragrant Lake and stopped.

At this moment, a golden-eyed female official, holding an imperial edict, arrived near the painted boat under the protection of armored soldiers.

【Author's Note: Read every word carefully!】

"Is the Great Yi Daoist in the painted boat in the center of the lake?" the golden-eyed female official 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 Qi and silver electricity, and stepped on a golden auspicious cloud, slowly drifting over.

Many people had not seen the Great Yi Daoist, but when they truly saw him, their pupils revealed shock. He was truly an immortal, possessing an indescribable power, and after he approached, their bodies trembled for some reason.

It was as if this person was born a cut above others, not comparable to ordinary mortals.

The golden-eyed female official responsible for conveying the edict was very shocked at this moment, because she didn't know if it was an illusion, but the aura of the Great Yi Daoist before her, and that feeling, were very similar to the Emperor's. Although there were some individual differences, the essence was the same.

"Has he also practiced the Evolution Method?"

The golden-eyed female official was born of the Golden Pupil Guard, and she had also practiced evolution; otherwise, a 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 could not be spread out, and the life level of this Great Yi Daoist had already reached an extremely high level.

That huge difference brought about by life made her whole body tremble, as if facing a sacred being.

"Gr-Great Yi Daoist, the Emperor has an edict," the golden-eyed female official forced herself to calm down and said.

"I don't know what the edict is?" Li Yi bowed calmly.

Only then did the golden-eyed female official open the imperial edict and read: "By the order of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: I have heard that there is a high person who has attained the Dao in the capital, named Great Yi, possessing the method of immortality, the ability to call wind and rain, and the virtue of benefiting all living things. Today, I wish to appoint the Great Yi Daoist as State Preceptor, bestowing the title of Great Yi True Person, to protect the national destiny. Respect this."

"I, Great Yi, accept the edict. Thank you, Your Majesty," Li Yi received the imperial edict. He understood that this was only the first step of the plan.

And when he accepted the imperial edict, obtained the appointment of the imperial court, and was crowned with the title of Great Yi True Person, an even more massive power of incense fire belief rushed into the sky again from the three-hundred-mile capital and even the nearby towns, then rushed toward him like a giant wave.

"It's here."

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

He knew that the incense fire belief obtained during this first appointment was the most, and afterward, it would depend on his own management, seeing if he could win the hearts of the people and be offered sacrifices and worship.

And with this power of incense fire belief falling into himself.

Li Yi instantly felt that his potential was infinite. With just a thought, the spiritual energy of the sky and earth belonged to him, and the metal energy from all directions was automatically incorporated into his meridians. 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 fire belief was too large, and with his current strength, he could not completely digest it, only able to use it roughly like other incense fire gods, attaching the power of incense fire belief to his body to increase some changes in his body.

"Great Yi, have you already gathered the three flowers at the top?" Suddenly, a woman's voice appeared in his mind.

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

"No, that's not right. You haven't gathered the three flowers 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... Incredible, truly incredible." Xiang Xiang Xiangzi's tone then became shocked. She discovered that the speed of her Primordial Spirit's gestation was very fast.

This speed was very incredible, as if it were fake.

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

There, a magnificent carriage was waiting for him.

Li Yi was 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.
