Chapter 569: Third Layer of the Five Qi Realm

Since Li Yi moved into Wuji Palace, the blink of an eye had already passed six days.

In these six days, the incense belief power of his position as National Teacher reached its peak, and his cultivation also had a heaven-shaking and earth-shattering 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 acupoints. 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 energy was a bit slow. Even by performing the Heaven and Earth Energy Gathering Great Method with the help of incense belief power, he had only filled eight acupoints so far, and there were still four acupoints left that were not 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 acupoints had to be accelerated.

At least all sixty acupoints required by the Five Qi Realm had to be opened. Once he left this world of incense-becoming-gods 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 of what I can obtain for now. If I want to continue increasing the power of incense-fire, I must initiate the plan to break mountains and destroy temples." Li Yi, inside the Wuji Palace, felt at this moment that his incense-fire limit had been reached. Although incense-fire power continued to increase sporadically over the following two days.

But the speed of increase was already very slow.

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

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

Li Yi rested slightly at this moment. He discovered that all the medicinal pills in his Five Elements Bracelet had been eaten up. Whether it was Spirit Blood Pill, or the relatively precious Kui Dragon Pill, or other things to supplement energy and blood, they were all consumed.

Because the number of acupoints opened was too many, his demand for energy and blood was too huge.

And in this world of incense-becoming-gods, there were not so many heaven and earth treasures that could supply him, so now the acupoints in Li Yi's 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 physical body.

"I have roughly 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. I spent six whole days just using incense belief power to deduce it, but if I want to thoroughly master it, the incense power now is not enough. Taiyi, you still have to obtain more incense power."

On the Primordial Spirit Flower, Xiang Xiangzi's Primordial Spirit was clearly visible. She sat with her eyes closed, shrouded in incense aura, like an incense god, lifelike. Hearing Li Yi's question, she immediately opened her eyes, and a little frustration appeared on her face.

"Being able to roughly master the Size-as-You-Wish technique in six days is already very amazing. Immortal Aunt doesn't need to be discouraged," Li Yi said.

Xiang Xiangzi said: "However, I also learned that bald man's Rain-Calling Great Method by the way. As for the Overturning Rivers and Seas spell, I have to learn it later. Taiyi, I will pass on the Size-as-You-Wish and Rain-Calling Great Method to you first, and the rest will be passed on to you 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 Xiangzi said, and the Primordial Spirit Flower dropped a clear light. This clear light went straight into 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 passing on methods is truly inconceivable," Li Yi was suspicious.

"This is natural. If I learn it, it means you have learned it. After all, my Primordial Spirit seed exists by relying on your soul power 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 belief, which is an unprecedented thing. And the power of incense connects your and my Primordial Spirit closely. In normal circumstances, when your three flowers bloom, my Primordial Spirit power would no longer play any role, and I wouldn't be able to interfere with your Primordial Spirit to carry out Primordial Spirit passing on methods."

Xiang Xiangzi finished speaking and continued: "Why don't you continue to cultivate? The incense power is still flourishing now."

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

The disadvantage of practicing multiple methods concurrently is here: the resources consumed are too huge.

"Then break through to the third layer of the Five Qi Realm in one breath, then leave the retreat, kill the incense gods of this world, gather the incense of the world, and then cross dimensions and leave," Xiang Xiangzi said.

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

After a short rest.

Li Yi performed the Heaven and Earth Energy Gathering Great Method again, and took out a seven-colored stone.

Immediately, the cyan wood energy rushed into his body, and the speed was much faster than before.

However, with the increase of acupoints in his body, Li Yi felt that his vitality was vigorous to the extreme. Even in a state of hunger, his Dragon-Tiger strength was more than ten times what it was before. He didn't need to do anything, just punch out to destroy mountains and mountains. If the Five Qi Realm was completed and the acupoints were filled with divine blood, then he could truly try to suppress the world with his fist and reverse the mountains and rivers.

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

And during the cultivation time, the Embroidered Uniform Guards and Golden Pupil Guards responsible for guarding near Wuji Palace also gained quite a bit of creation. They accepted the baptism of heaven and earth spiritual energy, and they themselves evolved. Some Spirit Medium Realm ones broke through to the Spirit Perception Realm, and after a few shifts, at least a hundred people advanced.

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

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

In the last four days of cultivation time.

In the Yongchang Palace of the imperial palace, Shenwu Emperor Li Jiye was already prepared. He looked at Wuji Palace every day and felt the increasingly powerful aura. He was very gratified in his heart. Everything was just as he had expected. The incense energy of the National Teacher position could help Xiao Yi make rapid progress in strength in a short time.

However, the reality was even better than expected.

Li Yi's progress in strength even made people feel surprised. Even from a distance, he could feel the Dragon-Tiger strength that shook the mountains and rivers and the peerless and vigorous magic power.

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

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

The incense path plus the cultivation-to-immortal method made Li Jiye benefit a lot during this time, and the whole person seemed to have been reborn, with infinite potential.

The incense power of the Emperor position even made him feel that it was not enough.

At this moment, both father and son understood that destroying temples and sweeping away the old would happen recently. They must gather the world's incense as soon as possible and sort out this world. Only in this way would they have the strength to deal with various crises when they returned to Earth across dimensions in the future.

"The minister pays respects to the Emperor."

At this moment, a dignified woman dressed in palace attire walked slowly into the Emperor's bedroom.

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

"Everything is as the Emperor expected. The Yin Son of Heaven sensed an unusual aura and decided to execute True Person Taiyi," De Concubine said slowly: "The reason is only one: the ancestral incense cannot be given to others. At the morning court ten days later, the Hidden Officials will definitely put pressure on the Emperor to strip True Person Taiyi of his National Teacher title and execute him immediately."

Li Jiye sneered: "What ancestral incense cannot be given to others? If this is really the case, then there shouldn't be so many incense gods conferred in the world, but only the Yin Son of Heaven can enjoy incense offerings. The reason for executing True Person Taiyi is nothing more than these old things feeling threatened. A Daoist who uses incense to cultivate may shake the roots of the world's incense gods."

"However, these old things didn't guess wrong. I also intend to do so. De Concubine, how is the Embroidered Uniform Guard?"

"Three thousand Embroidered Uniform Guards have been gathered, all of them are elites, and horses, food, weapons, and armor have all been prepared, just waiting for the Emperor's order," De Concubine said.

Li Jiye's expression softened slightly: "Very good. Three days later, you let the Golden Pupil Guard go to Wuji Palace to pass a message, let True Person Taiyi take three thousand Embroidered Uniform Guards out of the capital, walk from north to south, and start the path of destroying temples and sweeping away the old. I will let Black Mountain Lord and Golden Pupil Guard Flower Girl assist. During this time, you just need to do your own part."

"If there is any change in the matter, I have also found a way out for you. You go with True Person Taiyi, and he will protect you."

"The minister will only be loyal to the Emperor in this life. If this matter fails, according to the plan, the Emperor can execute the minister to extinguish the public anger," De Concubine said, kneeling down. Behind her, a fluffy white tail was revealed from the palace skirt.

This was a fox tail.

And this De Concubine was actually a fox girl, and now she had obtained

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 spirit, pointing to her as a disaster to the country and the people, and execute her in public to appease the public anger, thereby preserving his 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 spirit.

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