Chapter 587: Negotiation

At this moment, Li Yi and Xiang Xiangzi return to the capital. They move into the imperial palace and concentrate on cultivation, intending to take advantage of this period to use this massive incense belief power to push their realm and strength to a new height again.

And with Xiang Xiangzi performing the Art of Heaven and Earth Talent, in just a brief moment, she gathers the heaven and earth spiritual energy of an eight-hundred-mile region. Not to mention the palace where Li Yi is, even the entire imperial palace is shrouded in this heaven and earth energy.

"Is this the Daoist art performed with the help of incense belief power? Sure enough, the power is doubled." Facing such a situation, Xiang Xiangzi is also very surprised.

Her strength has not recovered to its peak, and logically speaking, she should have no way to gather the heaven and earth spiritual energy of an eight-hundred-mile region.

But she happens to have done it.

And the incense power on her body only borrowed some from Li Yi. If all the incense of the world belonged to her, one would not dare to imagine what kind of consequences would arise.

Under the blessing of such terrifying heaven and earth spiritual energy, Li Yi channels his Daoist arts at this moment, whale-swallowing this heaven and earth energy, and begins to constantly fill new meridians.

"The Five Qi Realm is a very special realm. One must collect and supplement the heaven and earth Five Elements Qi one by one to nourish the five internal organs, so cultivation in this realm is particularly slow. Even if your bloodline is special, your physique is astonishing, and you have the blessing of incense power, it is still very difficult to cross this realm in one go."

"So you need to stay calm, take it slowly, and don't be impatient; otherwise, the Five Elements will be unbalanced, and it will be very easy to damage yourself."

Xiang Xiangzi constantly exhorts Li Yi, telling him not to be impatient when cultivating, to avoid problems.

After all, Li Yi needs to take in the heaven and earth spiritual energy of sixty meridians, which is twelve times that of ordinary cultivators, unprecedented in ancient and modern times. Once a problem occurs, she herself cannot easily solve it.

Li Yi also knows this in his heart and naturally knows the principle that haste makes waste.

However, in this world, cultivating with the help of incense belief power is truly god-speed. Even if he is not deliberate, in just a few days, he has entered the fourth layer of the Five Qi Realm, but the twelve meridians have not been filled, and it still needs some time to polish.

But the more he cultivates, the stronger the hunger in Li Yi's body becomes.

Because every meridian needs divine blood to fill it, and he has no blood and energy supplements in this world, which leads to the divine blood being nurtured too slowly, and it has even stagnated. If he continues to cultivate like this, let alone transformation, it would be good if his body doesn't degenerate.

After holding on for a few days, Li Yi is forced to give up cultivation again.

His realm is the fourth layer of the Five Qi Realm. This time he collected the Earth Qi among the Five Elements Qi, and only filled six meridians, with six meridians remaining unfilled.

"This world cannot be stayed in any longer. I must leave as soon as possible; otherwise, I am worried I will starve to death here." Li Yi's heart surges with the thought of crossing dimensions and leaving.

He crossed dimensions in a hurry this time and was not well-prepared. He did not know that the incense belief power of this world could make people progress so rapidly. If he had known this, he would have made full preparations before coming. Perhaps he could have bloomed three flowers in this world.

Just as he ends his cultivation.

Outside the great hall, Golden Pupil Guards are already waiting here.

"True Person Taiyi, the Emperor has an edict: if the True Person leaves seclusion, go to the Yongchang Hall immediately." A Golden Pupil Guard says respectfully.

"Good, I know." Li Yi nods, and he also realizes that trouble is about to come.

However, he is not worried. With his current strength, there are very few things in this world that can threaten him.

When he arrives at the Yongchang Hall, he cannot help but have his expression flicker slightly.

Because Li Yi sees that Dragon-Tiger aura is coiling above the Yongchang Hall. Although this aura has been restrained as much as possible, it is still recognized, and several of the Dragon-Tiger auras carry a Yin aura.

This is not the aura that should be on a living person, but the aura on a dead person, or rather, a characteristic that only a Yin Son of Heaven possesses.

"Could it be that in the few days I was in seclusion, the Yin Son of Heaven has already arrived at the imperial palace?" Li Yi's expression changes slightly at this moment. He is shocked by this guess of his.

If this is the case, then wouldn't his father, Li Jiye, be in ominous danger?

But there has been no battle in the imperial palace in the past few days.

If enemies of this level were to strike, the momentum would definitely be immense; it would be impossible to be so quiet.

"What is the situation? I will know once I go in and see." Li Yi's face is as usual. He is draped in the Red Feather Purple Gold Armor, Dragon-Tiger power condensed, and walks toward the Yongchang Hall, ready to strike at any time.

Creak!

Accompanied by the heavy gate being slowly opened.

A rich incense aura immediately rushes toward his face.

Although it is daytime, for some reason, the Yongchang Hall still appears gloomy and stern, not like an emperor's sleeping quarters, but like an imperial mausoleum, and anyone who enters it will be swallowed up.

And when Li Yi arrives at the door.

Gazes are cast from the stern great hall.

"It really is the Yin Son of Heaven." Li Yi cannot help but have his eyelids jump when he sees this scene.

What is going on?

Aren't the Yin Sons of Heaven going to start a war with him? How could they be invited to the Yongchang Hall so politely? And it has been so peaceful for several days in a row. Could it be that they have already reached some kind of agreement with his father?

With various thoughts.

Li Yi walks into the palace hall. As soon as he enters.

The palace gate closes.

Subsequently, oil lamps light up one after another in the stern, dim great hall.

With the appearance of the lamplight, the entire great hall becomes resplendent and magnificent again, and the style is extraordinary. At this time, six figures are sitting on the left and right sides of the great hall. They are like civil and military officials in the imperial court.

It is just that their bearing is extraordinary, and each person has the Son of Heaven's aura.

But sitting on the main seat is the Shenwu Emperor Li Jiye.

"True Person Taiyi, allow Me to introduce you. This is the founding emperor of the Zhao Dynasty, Zhao Taizu, Zhao Tianxing. The other several are Taizong Emperor, Zhenzong Emperor, Yingzong Emperor, Guangzong Emperor, and Lizong Emperor."

The six Yin Sons of Heaven look at Li Yi at this moment.

"You are the True Person Taiyi who destroys mountains and temples? Truly extraordinary, holding Dragon-Tiger aura, draped in thunder and lightning. No wonder the monsters and incense gods of the world are no match for you." Taizong Emperor looks Li Yi up and down.

Upon meeting, everyone can feel Li Yi's uniqueness.

!

This is the difference in life level brought about by the realm, no need for more words.

"The six Yin Sons of Heaven of the Zhao Dynasty? Actually gathered together today." Li Yi squints his eyes and says: "It is really hard to imagine that you are actually willing to sit down and talk to me calmly. Don't you know that just a few days ago I killed your Shenzong Emperor?"

"Shenzong also had his faults. He forcibly intercepted the True Person, leading to contradictions and a great battle. According to normal circumstances, True Person Taiyi should have no intention of being an enemy of our Yin Sons of Heaven, right?" At this time, Yingzong Emperor speaks.

Li Yi says: "That is not necessarily true. Having killed one Shenzong Emperor, I don't mind killing a few more Yin Sons of Heaven."

"True Person, don't have such heavy killing intent. I also know what you mean. Since you have already made a move, then just go all the way and do it thoroughly. But many things in the world are not suitable for acting arbitrarily." At this time, Zhao Tianxing, who is the Taizu Emperor, speaks.

"Since our several Yin Sons of Heaven are willing to come to the imperial palace and are willing to negotiate with you, and have no intention of making a move, True Person Taiyi, you should know what we mean."

"If we fight, it will undoubtedly be a lose-lose situation, which is unfavorable to the Zhao Dynasty."

Li Yi is somewhat surprised at this moment: "You want to negotiate?"

"You and the Shenwu Emperor only want incense, and for us Yin Sons of Heaven, incense is the most worthless thing. Why can't we talk about it properly?" Zhao says.

Li Yi's gaze flickers, and he looks at his father, Li Jiye, on the main seat.

Li Jiye says: "If the several Yin Sons of Heaven are willing to abandon the incense power and return to the mountains and forests, living in seclusion, I am also willing to show mercy and give everyone a way out."

While showing strength, he also gives his own conditions.

"Shenwu Emperor, we are negotiating, not begging for mercy." Taizu Emperor says with a cold face.

Li Yi says: "If you don't dare to make a move, you are begging for mercy. The rules of cultivators are like this: the winner takes all, and the loser eats dust. You don't have the determination and courage to fight to the death, yet you want reconciliation, then you are only begging for mercy. Otherwise, you won't be able to walk out of the capital alive today."

"True Person Taiyi, do you really dare to make a move against the six of us in the capital?" Taizu Emperor stares at him and says.

"Why wouldn't I dare? At worst, destroy the capital and rebuild it later. Moreover, as long as I kill the six of you, the world will be stable, and in the future, with recuperation, the national strength will soon recover. And I can exclusively enjoy the incense of the world. No matter how you calculate this deal, it is profitable." Li Yi says.

The faces of the other Yin Sons of Heaven also instantly turn ugly.

They did not expect this True Person Taiyi's personality to be so extreme, and this Shenwu Emperor is equally domineering.

Both of them have similarities.

No wonder they hit it off and started the path of destroying mountains and temples.

But how do they know the cruelty of the cultivation world.

The survival of the fittest is performed vividly. Any conspiracy or trick is not as important as one's own strength.

"Shenwu Emperor, is this what you think too?" At this moment, Taizu Emperor looks at Li Jiye again.

Shenwu Emperor Li Jiye says: "I have already given you a chance. If you don't agree, feel free to start a war. Whether we fight in the capital or elsewhere, I will accompany you."

"To tell the truth, I haven't put you few Yin Sons of Heaven in my eyes. It just so happens that I can take this opportunity to settle the matter in one battle, saving you Yin Sons of Heaven from causing any trouble in the future."

He is indifferent in expression, and his tone is dignified and serious.

As if he has great certainty that he can manipulate the few people at will.

But in reality, Li Jiye does not have much confidence that he can exterminate these six Yin Sons of Heaven in one go, especially that Taizu Emperor, whose strength is by no means ordinary. It is just that before truly fighting, strong confidence is necessary.

Otherwise, once he shows weakness, the consequences will be unimaginable.
