Chapter 563: Incense Fire Spells

"A world of incense fire godhood, the power of belief borrowing the false to cultivate the true, so that's how it is."

"I really didn't expect there to be such a magical world. So, Great Yi, you have been appointed as the State Preceptor by the current Emperor and enjoy the power of the dynasty's incense fire belief. No wonder I also benefited, with the Primordial Spirit Flower blooming in advance. I thought you had already broken through to the Three-Flower Realm."

"Tai Yi, you are too kind. How can the power of a single Imperial Preceptor's incense-fire faith satisfy you? When you met the Emperor, you should have directly unleashed the Great Expansion Sword Art to strike him down, then used the Dragon-Subduing and Tiger-Suppressing Technique to suppress the civil and military officials, directly usurping the throne to become the new Emperor. By then, all the incense-fire faith under heaven would belong to you."

Li Yi was sitting in the magnificent carriage at this moment, closing his eyes and feeling the vast power of incense fire belief permeating his body. However, Xiang Xiang Xiangzi, whose divine sense had revived, kept talking in his mind. At first, it was normal, but later she actually incited him to kill the Emperor and rebel.

However, he didn't find this strange.

This was very much in line with Xiang Xiang Xiangzi's personality.

"Immortal Aunt, I will plan the matter of incense fire belief myself. Compared to that, Immortal Aunt should first consider how to utilize this power," Li Yi replied.

"That makes sense. No matter how much incense fire power there is, it's useless if it cannot be utilized well. Great Yi, wait a moment, let me ponder it."

Xiang Xiang Xiangzi's Primordial Spirit was sitting on a crystal-clear flower at this moment. In just a short moment, her Primordial Spirit outline had become much more condensed, and her whole body was shrouded in incense fire aura, like an elf in a flower, vivid and lifelike. Hearing Li Yi's question, she immediately supported her head and pondered.

And Li Yi was not idle either. At this moment, with the help of this vast incense fire power combined with soul power, he cast the Heaven and Earth Qi Gathering Great Method.

The range of the spell cast again was truly astonishing.

Like a giant net, it captured the heaven and earth spiritual energy within a radius of five hundred miles. When this spiritual energy poured over, rays of extreme clear light instantly emerged around him. These clear lights formed circles of light, spreading outward from him as the center, one after another, visible to the naked eye even for ordinary people.

At this moment, Li Yi was like a complete Mystic Object, emitting an astonishing energy field.

With such terrifying heaven and earth spiritual energy gathering, the two Golden Pupil Guards responsible for driving the carriage instantly felt all the cells in their bodies cheering and jumping. Even without cultivation, their strength was constantly improving.

"How could this be?"

The two Golden Pupil Guards looked at each other at this moment, both incomparably shocked.

They looked back in disbelief. Under their pale golden pupils, rays of brilliant clear light were emanating from the carriage, and the surrounding area of at least several hundred meters was shrouded under these twelve distinct layers of light circles. Because they were close, they were most affected by the heaven and earth spiritual energy.

If they cultivated in this environment, they would definitely be able to evolve and break through to the Soul Realm very soon.

"It should be the Great Yi True Person's means. Incredible, it really is like an immortal."

"This is the heaven and earth energy mentioned by the Emperor. At this moment, it has all swarmed over and gathered here. Even without using the spirit pupils, ordinary people can see it."

"Not good, the horses cannot withstand such powerful heaven and earth energy. Their bodies are collapsing."

The two Golden Pupil Guards whispered, but soon discovered that the horses pulling the carriage were neighing in pain at this moment, blood constantly seeping out of their bodies, their eyes red, struggling desperately, seemingly wanting to shake off the reins and flee this place, because their cells were being eroded by high-intensity energy, to the point of starting to wither and die.

This was just like radiation; if the body was not strong enough, it could not withstand the baptism of this energy at all.

Although the horses pulling the carriage were carefully selected exotic species, they also could not withstand it. If they didn't leave this energy field, they would die.

It was not just the horses pulling the carriage; the horses of the Imperial Guard nearby were also the same, neighing in pain, covered in blood, and abnormally violent.

Because of the horses' loss of control, the carriage behind was also shaking violently.

Seeing this, the two Golden Pupil Guards had to rely on their own powerful strength to forcibly subdue them, avoiding the procession causing chaos and damaging the royal dignity.

"Incense fire combined with soul power, the spells cast are more than ten times stronger than before. This feeling is truly incredible, as if all the difficulties have instantly decreased by countless times, giving me a feeling of being powerful to the point of being unreal. And this is near the Imperial City, suppressed by the Dragon-Tiger Qi." Li Yi suddenly opened his eyes at this moment.

He immediately put away the Heaven and Earth Qi Gathering Great Method, dispelling this vast cosmic energy, and an look of disbelief appeared in his eyes.

After obtaining the position of State Preceptor and incense fire power, Li Yi felt that whether it was cultivation or casting spells, he had undergone a qualitative improvement. If his Wind-Calling Great Method could only cover a hundred miles before, then now, it could truly be comparable to a Three-Flower Realm Daoist expert, traveling a thousand miles in an instant, terrifying to the extreme.

And with the passage of time and the continuous gathering of incense fire, this power was still continuously becoming stronger.

The diligent cultivation of the past seemed to have become dog shit at this moment.

No wonder this world clearly had cosmic energy but did not derive a path of cultivation.

Compared to slow meditation and Qi practice, and evolution cultivation, incense fire godhood was the right path. You cultivate the Dao for a hundred years, but you can't beat an incense fire god of one year. What's the point of cultivating? So everyone went to accumulate incense fire to become gods directly. So it was no wonder this world was deformed; the temptation of taking shortcuts was truly too great.

Li Yi took a few deep breaths, calming his mood. He felt that he could not be confused by this temporary power; he still had to insist on borrowing the false to cultivate the true and could not be bound by incense fire.

With the dissipation of the cosmic energy gathering around, the commotion outside subsided.

The Golden Pupil Guard responsible for driving the carriage finally breathed a sigh of relief, then sped up the carriage, striving to send this immortal into the palace to meet the Emperor quickly, so as to avoid further trouble. At the same time.

In the Daming Palace of the Imperial City.

This was the place where the Son of Heaven held court and met with all the officials.

At this moment, Li Li Jiye, who was the Son of Heaven, wore a black and gold robe and a crown, sitting on the dragon throne. His face was serious, his momentum was majestic, and a pair of golden vertical pupils scanned all the officials in the hall like dragon eyes. Although he did not speak, it made the officials tremble with fear, not daring to speak.

Even though the Emperor's accumulated prestige was too great, there were still old officials who stood out, bearing this pressure.

"Your Majesty, this old minister feels that appointing a mountain Daoist as the State Preceptor of the current dynasty is truly inappropriate. Not to mention whether that Great Yi Daoist has true ability, but to say he is an immortal, this old minister does not believe it at all. One must know that there has never been an immortal in any dynasty. That Great Yi Daoist must be using the name of an immortal to swindle and bluff, attempting to steal the national destiny and incense fire. Your Majesty must not be deceived."

The speaker was the Grand Tutor of the current dynasty, named Zuo Zuo Hanyuan, a veteran of three dynasties. Moreover, he had achieved success in cultivation and had a method for maintaining his youthful appearance. Although he looked only about fifty years old, he was already over a hundred years old, and to this day, he was full of spirit, with sharp ears and eyes, and walked like flying.

After Grand Tutor Zuo Zuo Hanyuan finished speaking, several officials immediately stood out.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this minister also thinks the Grand Tutor is right. That Great Yi Daoist is unknown, only revealing some small spells in the capital, and was then touted as an immortal. And he has only been in the capital for a few days; how could he be famous throughout the capital? He must have prepared long ago, spreading rumors in secret to bewitch the people, in order to deceive the imperial court. This minister suggests stripping him of the title of Great Yi True Person and capturing him quickly, beheading him in public to serve as a warning to others."

"Your Majesty, this minister also agrees with the Grand Tutor's words. That Great Yi Daoist must have grasped Your Majesty's heart for the Dao and used it to bewitch Your Majesty. Such an evil Daoist, if not beheaded quickly, will surely bring chaos to the court in the future."

One official after another stood out.

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

They were filled with righteous indignation, viewing Li Yi as an evil Daoist and a villain, wishing to dispose of him quickly.

Not for anything else.

Li Yi's appearance had touched the interests of too many people.

The officials would not allow a mountain Daoist to be suddenly appointed as State Preceptor and ride on their heads.

The Yin Son of Heaven would also not allow a State Preceptor to appear and divide the incense fire power, so they would also have people advise the new Emperor to remove this evil Daoist, so as not to lose the national destiny.

The Divine Martial Emperor Li Li Jiye, sitting on the dragon throne, did not speak, merely looking at the officials calmly.

He knew that his time on the throne was short and his accumulation was insufficient. Although he had trained the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Golden Pupil Guard, wanting to completely control the court in this world of incense fire godhood in a short time, in a word, was still very difficult. This time, he had staked everything on one throw, appointing Xiao Yi as State Preceptor, and the indignation of the officials was normal.

But wanting to overturn all of this and start the path of destroying temples and pacifying the world was also a difficulty that had to be faced sooner or later.

"Crown Prince, do you have anything to say?" the Son of Heaven asked calmly.

At this moment, the Crown Prince Zhao Jing, upon hearing this, immediately stood out and bowed: "Returning to Father Emperor, this son only has one word: for the sake of the stability of the world, please execute the Great Yi evil Daoist."

"Your Majesty, please execute the Great Yi evil Daoist." As soon as the Crown Prince stood out, dozens of officials, big and small, immediately stood out and said.

Apparently, while the Son of Heaven was staying in the Yongchang Palace for a long time, Crown Prince Zhao Jing had unknowingly won over many officials, forming a powerful force that could not be ignored.

The Son of Heaven did not respond, but continued to ask: "Besides this, does the Crown Prince have any other suggestions?"

"Father Emperor, the fourth brother, Prince Xin, entered the capital without an edict, violating the imperial order. He should be sent to the Imperial Clan Court for severe punishment," Crown Prince Zhao Jing said.

Prince Xin in the hall felt like he was on pins and needles at this moment, looking at his eldest brother Zhao Jing in astonishment.

After not seeing each other for a few years, how had his eldest brother become so strange? He wasn't like this before.

The Son of Heaven smiled: "Prince Xin is your younger brother. Are you not pleading for him?"

"Returning to Father Emperor, in the court, there are no brothers, only the law of the King," Crown Prince Zhao Jing said earnestly: "It is precisely because this son is the eldest brother that I cannot practice favoritism; otherwise, if the law is not strictly enforced, how can the people of the world be convinced?"

"The Crown Prince's words make sense," Li Li Jiye, as the Son of Heaven, couldn't help but nod slightly: "However, Prince Xin's matter will be put aside for today. The Great Yi True Person was appointed by me personally, and his identity as an immortal is also genuine. If you don't believe it, you will know in a moment."

He did not get angry in the court, but secretly had the Golden Pupil Guard record all these people in a small notebook, and later had them all slip and fall into the water and die one by one.

The officials, upon hearing this, were silent, only thinking that this was the Emperor's delaying tactic.

However, they only needed to let that Great Yi Daoist reveal his flaws in a moment, making his identity as an immortal questionable, and then request the execution of this evil Daoist. It was estimated that the Emperor would have nothing to say.

Immediately, everyone pondered, starting to think of ways to make things difficult for that Great Yi evil Daoist, making him reveal his true colors.
