Chapter 581: Seven-Colored Body

~12 min read 2,277 words

Following the failure of the world's experts to crusade against the True Person Tai Yi, the official appointment from the imperial court came down. Coupled with the progress of destroying temples and cutting down shrines, as well as the erection of the True Person Tai Yi's temples and divine statues in various places, Li Yi had now not only regained the power of incense belief, but this power was more than ten times stronger than before.

The vast incense power flowed continuously from all parts of the world to his own body, and as time passed, this power was still climbing, as if there were no end.

Li Yi felt for the first time how wonderful it was to enjoy the incense of the world, as if there was nothing in the world that he couldn't do.

This vast incense power first benefited the primordial spirit seed on Li Yi's body.

At this moment, the primordial spirit flower bloomed again. In just a short time, it opened twenty-four petals, and a primordial spirit was conceived. Then, the primordial spirit grew from small to large, from virtual to real, evolving into a Daoist nun wearing Daoist robes and wrapped in incense aura.

"The power of incense is indeed easy to obtain and easy to lose. My primordial spirit was awakened by the power of incense before, but once it was lost, it returned to its original form and fell into silence again. Now it has awakened again, but this time it is more thorough than before, actually giving me a feeling of returning to my peak."

At this moment, Xiang Xiang Xiangzi's primordial spirit appeared beside Li Yi. She looked at her incense body and felt a sense of unreality.

Li Yi led three thousand Embroidered Uniform Guards all the way to destroy temples and cut down shrines. He was sitting on a golden auspicious cloud floating in mid-air at this moment, breathing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, collecting the incense of the world, and had started his path of transformation again.

"Immortal Aunt, since that is the case, why not stay in this world, replace me in receiving the incense power of this world, and then borrow the false to cultivate the real, returning to the Three Flower Realm? In the future, it might be possible to go even further. After all, I will eventually leave here after a period of time."

He gave a suggestion at this moment.

Xiang Xiang Xiangzi's pupils turned: "That is indeed a good idea. Our primordial spirits are one; staying in this world can indeed help you receive the incense power, and with the help of this power to re-cultivate, it won't take long for me to completely recover, and it might even be stronger than before. It's just..."

"Just what?" Li Yi asked.

Xiang Xiang Xiangzi's incense body circled around him, and she said with a smile: "It's just that cultivation is difficult. If there is no one to accompany me along the way, how lonely it would be. Moreover, my primordial spirit flower is still of great help to you, Tai Yi, and can help you quickly pass through the Five Qi Realm and understand various mysterious arts."

Li Yi said: "The Immortal Aunt's primordial spirit flower has indeed helped me a lot, but I cannot miss the opportunity for the Immortal Aunt to revive because of this. Moreover, isn't the Immortal Aunt still by my side during this time? Simply understand the remaining Daoist arts, teach them to me, and then let me leave across dimensions without distractions."

"Tai Yi's words are reasonable." Xiang Xiang Xiangzi said gloomily: "It's just that after crossing dimensions, I don't know when we will meet again."

"When the Immortal Aunt succeeds in borrowing the false to cultivate the real and returns to the Three Flower Realm, I will definitely cross dimensions and come, bring the Immortal Aunt back to Earth, or even return to the cultivation world. It depends on how the Immortal Aunt chooses." Li Yi said.

"Why would I return to that dead-silent cultivation world? In those years, I don't know how many junior sisters and junior brothers died before my eyes. Earth is quite interesting, but none of that compares to being at ease following Tai Yi." Xiang Xiang Xiangzi sighed.

"However, once I leave this world and the incense source is cut off, I estimate I will fall into a deep sleep again, but I won't be able to help much. Staying in this world is indeed better."

Li Yi didn't speak, just used the power of incense to swallow the qi of heaven and earth, opening the meridians in his body, striving to cross the barrier of the Five Qi Realm. At the very least, he had to open the sixty large meridians; otherwise, once he left this world, he didn't know when he would open them.

Half a sound.

Xiang Xiang Xiangzi's incense primordial spirit said again: "Since that is the case, I have to refine a divine statue to use as a vessel for the primordial spirit. Tai Yi, I have to borrow something from you. I don't know if you are willing to part with it."

"If the Immortal Aunt has her eyes on anything in my Five Elements Bracelet, just speak."

Li Yi was also very generous. After all, Xiang Xiang Xiangzi had saved his life, and some external objects were not particularly important to him.

"I need the Seven-Colored Stone. That Seven-Colored Stone contains the qi of the five elements and yin and yang. It is transformed from the blood of a powerful living creature. Using it to reshape the divine statue, perhaps it will become spiritual over time and turn into a real flesh-and-blood body, which is not impossible. If I am lucky, perhaps I can inherit the seven-colored bloodline of this kind of creature."

Xiang Xiang Xiangzi licked her alluring lips slightly and said.

She had been strong all her life, with outstanding talent. Now that she had died and been reborn, re-cultivating Daoist arts, she naturally wasn't willing to follow the old path step by step, and also wanted to try combining the incense path, stimulating the bloodline power, and seeing if she could surpass the past and reach an unprecedented peak.

"Good. Then this Seven-Colored Stone is gifted to the Immortal Aunt."

Li Yi said, and without a word, took out the strange object from the Five Elements Bracelet.

Immediately.

Seven-colored light shone all around, and astonishing energy was emitted.

"Size as Desired, change!"

Xiang Xiang Xiangzi immediately pointed her finger and unleashed the Daoist art.

She was truly worthy of being a genius of Daoist arts. After learning the "Size as Desired" technique, she used it with ease. In just one spell, this Seven-Colored Stone, which was less than the size of a fist, immediately expanded. And what was peculiar was that the Seven-Colored Stone didn't expand as a whole, but expanded in some places and shrank in others, actually forming a seven-colored human-shaped stone statue.

"The 'Size as Desired' technique can be used like this?" Li Yi thought thoughtfully upon seeing this.

"Changing size is easy, but changing according to one's own heart is very difficult. This kind of top-tier Daoist art is not so easy to learn. It looks simple, but in reality, it is harder than the 'Subduing Dragon and Tiger' technique of my sect. Therefore, the essence of the 'Size as Desired' technique is not in size, but in 'as I desire'." Xiang Xiang Xiangzi said.

Soon.

The seven-colored human-shaped stone statue appeared with facial features. It was a woman's appearance, mature and dignified, yet revealing a hint of alluring charm, and it was lifelike, like a living person. It was just that the skin was still seven-colored, not the skin of an ordinary woman. "Although the size of the Seven-Colored Stone has changed, the energy emitted is still the same as before, without change." Li Yi said.

"This spell, after cultivation is complete, can even make the energy of strange objects expand together. But the magic power required is vast. Even if I recover

"Perhaps, Brother Tai Yi, when your flower of magic power blooms in the future, you will be able to bring this Daoist technique to an unprecedented new height."

Li Yi nodded slightly.

After Xiang Xiang Xiangzi finished speaking, her body of incense suddenly collapsed, turning into rays of Primordial Spirit light that drilled into the seven-colored body before her.

As the Primordial Spirit returned to its place, the power of incense condensed.

This seven-colored stone statue of a goddess actually opened its eyes slowly and began to wake up. At the same time, the seven-colored radiance on her body began to hide, gradually turning into snow-white skin. Although she had no breath or heartbeat, she could be considered to have a somewhat human appearance.

"It still needs to be nurtured for a period of time, using the power of incense to turn the false into the real, allowing it to become a true flesh-and-blood body, a seven-colored Dao body."

Xiang Xiang Xiangzi moved her body at this moment; it was indeed very stiff, like a marionette, but she was not angry; instead, she looked at her own body very happily.

She could feel the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the energy of the universe rushing toward her crazily. The combination of the power of incense and the seven-colored divine stone produced a certain qualitative change, allowing her to possess immense power just by having her Primordial Spirit move in, as if she had recovered to her peak, with Dragon-Tiger magic power erupting in every gesture.

!

This kind of power was intoxicating, and it also made one feel unreal.

While Xiang Xiang Xiangzi was familiarizing herself with her new body, Li Yi also used this power of incense belief to open up his sixtieth meridian point in a short period of time.

Although his realm was still at the third layer of the Five Qi Realm, his potential had already reached the Great Perfection of the Five Qi Realm. But if he used this incense power to perform Daoist techniques, he had the confidence to trade blows with experts of the Three Flower Realm.

"True Person, ahead is Anshan, the location of the imperial mausoleum of an Underworld Son of Heaven. Should we disturb the late emperor?"

At this moment, a Golden-Eyed Guard named Hua Nu flew into the air. She arrived on the golden auspicious clouds and immediately reported the current situation to Li Yi respectfully.

"Imperial mausoleum?"

Li Yi looked up and saw a lush green mountain, upon which the aura of incense condensed, like an emperor's canopy covering the mountaintop, lingering for a long time without dispersing. Moreover, there were vaguely dragon and tiger figures condensing, already possessing the aura of the Son of Heaven.

Furthermore, this power had been condensed for a long time and had permeated the entire mountain. The whole mountain seemed to have a spirit; it looked ordinary, but in reality, it revealed danger and murderous intent.

This murderous intent was not aimed at ordinary people, but only at powerful cultivators or incense gods.

"Whose imperial mausoleum is that?" Li Yi asked.

The Golden-Eyed Guard Hua Nu immediately said: "It is the imperial mausoleum of Emperor Shenzong."

"Shenzong? Tell me in detail." Li Yi asked, for he did not know the titles of the emperors of this world.

"Emperor Shenzong was the sixth emperor of the Zhao Dynasty. During his lifetime, he loved to cultivate immortality and seek the Dao, wishing to achieve a divine position with the body of an emperor, but it seems that for some reason, he failed on the verge of success. Therefore, after his death, he was named Shenzong and buried in Anshan, enjoying the incense of the national fortune." The Golden-Eyed Guard Hua Nu continued: "After Emperor Shenzong died and became a god, he has been cultivating diligently in Anshan and rarely appears, so even the Hidden Official finds it difficult to contact him."

"An emperor who focuses on cultivation? Forget it, spare him. Bypass Anshan and continue to other places to destroy temples and fell shrines." Li Yi said.

The problem of the Underworld Sons of Heaven through the ages was very special. To deal with it, he would wait for his father's arrangements. As long as the other party did not actively stop his actions, it would be fine.

"Yes, True Person." After the Golden-Eyed Guard Hua Nu received the order, she left quickly.

Li Yi also rode the golden auspicious clouds, gradually bypassing Anshan and floating slowly toward the front.

However, while he wanted to spare this Underworld Son of Heaven, this Underworld Son of Heaven did not seem to want to spare Li Yi.

When Li Yi was about to leave, he saw a pillar of light invisible to mortals shoot up into the sky from Anshan, reflecting the incense canopy on the mountain, like a vast sun rising into the sky, but it also carried a thick, deep underground yin aura, and the surrounding celestial phenomena immediately underwent huge changes.

One moment it was a clear sky for ten thousand miles, and the next moment it was covered with dark clouds and rolling thunder.

It was as if an emperor who had been sleeping for a long time had been disturbed and awakened, bringing anger to descend upon this world.

"Hmm?"

Li Yi's expression stirred, the golden auspicious clouds under his feet stopped, and then he looked in the direction of Anshan.
