Chapter 569: Third Layer of the Five Qi Realm

Since Li Yi moved into the Wuji Palace, time had already passed for six days.

In these six days, the incense fire belief power of his State Preceptor position had reached its peak, and his cultivation had also undergone a earth-shaking change. Not only did he break through to the second layer of the Five Qi Realm, but he had also successfully opened up thirty-six meridians. If everything went smoothly, he could break through to the third layer of the Five Qi Realm.

It was just that the speed of adopting wood Qi was a bit slow. Even with the help of incense fire belief power to cast the Heaven and Earth Qi Gathering Great Method, he had only filled eight meridians so far, and there were still four meridians left that had not been filled.

According to this cultivation speed, Li Yi could step into the third layer of the Five Qi Realm in one breath.

So the speed of opening meridians had to be accelerated.

At least he had to open all sixty meridians required by the Five Qi Realm. Once he left this world of incense fire godhood and returned to Earth, or went to another world, there would not be such a good opportunity.

"The power of incense fire belief has reached the limit I can obtain. If I want to continue to increase incense fire power, I must start the plan of destroying temples and pacifying the world." Li Yi in the Wuji Palace felt that his incense fire limit had been reached. The incense fire power in the following two days was still increasing, but the speed of increase was already very slow.

And the more meridians opened, the more massive the incense fire required. If the incense fire was not enough, although it could still be opened, the corresponding speed would slow down. Now Li Yi's speed of opening new meridians was not as good as before, but fortunately, he had not reached the limit. According to his estimation, opening another twelve meridians should not be a problem.

"Immortal Aunt, how is it on your side?"

Li Yi rested slightly at this moment. He found that all the pills in his Five Elements Bracelet had been eaten up, whether it was Spirit Blood Pills, or more precious Kui Dragon Pills, or other things that supplemented blood energy, all had been exhausted.

Because the number of meridians opened was too large, his demand for blood energy was too great.

And in this world of incense fire godhood, there were not so many heaven and earth treasures that could supply him, so now Li Yi's meridians in his body were not filled with enough divine blood and were still in a state of hunger.

He felt that this problem could not be solved in this world; he had to go to the Savage World, or go to the Demon God World to solve it.

Those two worlds existed with exotic beasts and great demons, which were best for the tempering of the flesh and blood.

"I have already mastered the Size-As-You-Wish Technique. This spell is truly exquisite. No wonder those experts of the Tianyi Sect have never learned it fully. It took me six full days to deduce it by borrowing incense fire belief power, but if I want to thoroughly master it, the current incense fire power is not enough. Great Yi, you still have to obtain more incense fire power."

On the Primordial Spirit Flower, Xiang Xiang Xiangzi's Primordial Spirit was clearly visible. She sat with her eyes closed, surrounded by incense fire aura, like an incense fire god. At this moment, she opened her eyes, and a trace of frustration appeared on her face.

"Being able to master the Size-As-You-Wish Technique in six days is already very powerful. Immortal Aunt, don't be discouraged," Li Yi said.

Xiang Xiang Xiangzi said: "However, I also learned that bald guy's Rain-Calling Great Method. As for the Dividing Rivers and Creating Land spell, I have to learn it later. Great Yi, I will teach you the Size-As-You-Wish and Rain-Calling Great Methods. I will teach you the rest after I learn them."

"Then I will trouble Immortal Aunt," Li Yi said.

"You and I are one in Primordial Spirit, why distinguish between you and me."

Xiang Xiang Xiangzi said, and the Primordial Spirit Flower dropped a clear light. This clear light entered the depths of Li Yi's head and merged into his soul.

In an instant, the various mysteries of the Size-As-You-Wish Technique and the Rain-Calling Great Method appeared in Li Yi's mind.

Various Daoist methods intertwined, allowing him to master new spells in a short time.

"Primordial Spirit transmitting methods is truly inconceivable," Li Yi was surprised and uncertain.

"This is natural. If I learn it, it means you have learned it. After all, my Primordial Spirit seed is dependent on your soul power to exist and needs your soul power to gestate. It's just that this situation is very special. I woke up in advance because of the power of incense fire belief, which is an unprecedented thing. And the power of incense fire makes your and my Primordial Spirit closely connected. In a normal situation, when your three flowers bloom, my Primordial Spirit power will not have any effect, and I cannot interfere with your Primordial Spirit to perform Primordial Spirit transmission."

Xiang Xiang Xiangzi continued: "Why don't you continue to cultivate? The incense fire power is still prosperous now."

"Because the body is a bit hungry, I will rest for a while. Now all the things in my Five Elements Bracelet are eaten up, and the body's needs are too massive. I'm afraid this world cannot satisfy my blood energy consumption," Li Yi said.

The disadvantage of practicing multiple methods concurrently is here; the resources consumed are too massive.

"Then break through to the third layer of the Five Qi Realm in one breath, then leave the closed-door cultivation, kill the incense fire gods of this world, gather the incense fire of the world, and then leave through cross-dimensional travel," Xiang Xiang Xiangzi said.

"I think so too. There are four meridians left, striving to refine them in one breath," Li Yi said.

After a short rest.

Li Yi cast the Heaven and Earth Qi Gathering Great Method again, and at the same time, he took out a seven-colored stone.

Immediately, the green wood Qi rushed into his body, and the speed was faster than before.

However, with the increase of meridians in his body, Li Yi felt that his vitality was majestic to the extreme. Even in a state of hunger, his Dragon-Tiger strength was more than ten times what it was before. With just a punch, he could destroy mountains and rivers. If the Five Qi Realm was completed and the meridians were filled with divine blood, he could truly try to suppress the world with his fists and reverse the mountains and rivers.

It was truly inconceivable that martial artists of the Four Seas and Eight Continents could reach this step.

And during the time of his cultivation, the Embroidered Uniform Guards and Golden Pupil Guards responsible for guarding near the Wuji Palace also gained quite a bit of good fortune. They accepted the baptism of heaven and earth spiritual energy, and their own evolution occurred. Some of those at the Inspiration Realm broke through to the Spirit Perception Realm, and after a few shifts, at least a hundred people had advanced.

Although they also had a foundation, this was still very inconceivable.

This led to the Embroidered Uniform Guards and Golden Pupil Guards all wanting to be on duty at the Wuji Palace, wanting to feel the baptism of this heaven and earth energy.

In these last four days of cultivation time.

In the Yongchang Palace of the imperial palace, the Divine Martial Emperor Li Li Jiye was already prepared. He looked at the Wuji Palace every day and felt the increasingly powerful aura, feeling very gratified in his heart. Everything was exactly as he had expected; the incense fire Qi of the State Preceptor position could help Xiao Yi make rapid progress in his strength in a short time.

However, the reality was even better than expected.

Li Yi's progress in strength was even surprising. Even from far away, he could feel the Dragon-Tiger strength that shook the mountains and rivers and the unrivaled majestic magic power.

"Practicing multiple methods concurrently, the potential is truly huge," Li Li Jiye thought to himself. In fact, he also received Li Yi's gift, a cultivation method called the Nine-Turn Immortal-Becoming Technique.

Although there were only six turns and it could only be cultivated to the Tribulation Crossing stage, it could bring a long lifespan of several thousand years.

Combined with the incense fire path and the immortal cultivation method, Li Li Jiye had also benefited quite a bit during this time, and his whole person had been reborn, with infinite potential.

The incense fire power of the Emperor position was not even enough for him.

At this moment, both father and son understood that destroying temples and pacifying the world would be in the near future. They must gather the incense fire of the world as soon as possible, sort out this world, and only then would they have the strength to deal with various crises when they returned to Earth through cross-dimensional travel in the future.

"This subordinate pays respects to the Emperor."

At this moment, a woman with a dignified posture and wearing palace attire walked slowly into the Emperor's bedroom.

Li Li Jiye sat on a purple divine stone at this moment. His vertical pupils moved slightly, looking at the person who came: "Concubine De, has the matter been investigated clearly?"

"Everything is as the Emperor expected. The Yin Son of Heaven smelled an unusual aura and decided to execute the Great Yi True Person," Concubine De said slowly: "The reason is only one: the ancestral incense fire cannot be given to others. At the court session ten days later, the Hidden Officials will definitely pressure the Emperor to strip the Great Yi True Person of his State Preceptor title and execute him immediately."

Li Li Jiye sneered: "What ancestral incense fire cannot be given to others? If this were truly the case, there shouldn't be so many incense fire gods appointed in the world. Instead, only the Yin Son of Heaven should be able to enjoy incense fire offerings. The reason for executing the Great Yi True Person is nothing more than these old things feeling threatened. A Daoist who cultivates by borrowing incense fire might shake the foundation of the incense fire gods of the world." 【569-5

Li Li Jiye sneered: "What 'ancestral incense-fire cannot be given to others'? If that were truly the case, the world should not have enfeoffed so many incense-fire deities; instead, only the Yin Son of Heaven should be able to enjoy incense-fire offerings. The reason they want to execute Daoist Tai Yi is nothing more than these old things feeling threatened. A Daoist who cultivates with the help of incense-fire has the potential to shake the foundation of all the incense-fire deities under heaven."

"However, these old things have not guessed wrong. I do indeed intend to do so. Consort De, how are things on the Embroidered Uniform Guard's side?"

"Three thousand Embroidered Uniform Guards have already been assembled, all of them elites. Furthermore, horses, provisions, weapons, and armor have all been prepared, waiting only for Your Majesty's command," Consort De said.

Li Li Jiye's expression softened slightly: "Very good. Three days from now, have the Golden Pupil Guard go to the Wuji Palace to deliver a message, telling Daoist Tai Yi to lead the three thousand Embroidered Uniform Guards out of the capital, traveling from north to south, and begin the path of breaking mountains and destroying temples. I will have Black Mountain Lord and the Golden Pupil Guard Flower Girl go to assist. During this time, you only need to do your own part."

"If things change, I have also found a way out for you. You will follow Daoist Tai Yi, and he will ensure your safety."

"This concubine is only loyal to Your Majesty in this life. If this matter does not succeed, according to the plan, Your Majesty may execute this concubine to appease the public anger," Consort De said, then knelt down. Behind her, a furry white tail emerged from her palace dress.

This was a fox tail.

And this Consort De was actually a fox girl. Having now received an appointment and enjoying incense-fire, her cultivation was profound and extraordinary.

Li Li Jiye's gaze flickered. According to the plan, this was indeed the case. If his plan to break mountains and destroy temples failed and the officials were outraged, he intended to use the excuse that Consort De was a fox girl, point to her as the one who brought disaster to the country and the people, and execute her in public to appease the public anger, thereby preserving his own imperial throne.

Although doing so was too cold and heartless, that was what an emperor was.

But now it was different.

He had his son Xiao Yi and also had a future; there was no need to sacrifice an innocent fox girl.

So, when the moment of failure truly arrived, Consort De still had to be protected.
