Chapter 620
Xuan Yuezi did not continue to attack after killing the four Great Demons. In her view, these Earth Demons and Heaven Demons on the battlefield were not worth her effort, and her only task was to ensure Tai Yi's safety.
As for other matters, she would not pay them any mind.
At this moment.
Seeing that the crisis was resolved, Li Yi walked out of the Brother Tai Yi Hall immediately. He was covered in blood, and his state was not very good. Although he had swallowed a Three-Treasure Elixir gifted by Liu Liu Guzi, he had after all withstood a strike from a Great Demon, and it was already very good that he could survive.
"Many thanks to the Immortal Maiden for your help; otherwise, it would have been truly dangerous today." He performed a salute, expressing his gratitude.
Xuan Yuezi looked at Li Yi, who was unharmed, and a smile appeared on her cold face: "It's good that you are fine, Tai Yi. These Great Demons of the Demon God Realm are truly shameless, actually joining forces to surround and kill you, a cultivator at the Five Qis Realm. But it's fine now; they have been executed by me, and the one remaining Great Demon can't stir up any trouble either."
While speaking, she stepped on auspicious clouds and came to Li Yi's side, looking him over again.
"Although you are injured somewhat heavily, it hasn't shaken your foundation. It seems the Daoist treasures refined by the Bald Daoist are still very useful. And how did your realm improve so quickly? In just a few months, you have actually reached the fourth layer of the Five Qis Realm."
Afterward, Xuan Yuezi was surprised by Li Yi's realm again.
Of course, she was not the only one who felt this way.
Li Yi said: "That's a long story. It's mainly because when I crossed dimensions last time, I went to a special world that can accelerate cultivation."
As he spoke, he released a weak force of incense.
Xuan Yuezi immediately took this force of incense to investigate, and then couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation: "What a strange power. Can the power of belief also manifest?"
"This is the power of incense belief. After mortals die, they can immediately become gods if they obtain incense. As long as the incense is continuous, they can live forever. Moreover, the power of incense can also accelerate cultivation and nourish the soul... It is precisely because of this reason that Master Xiangxiang Xiangzi recovered early, and I left her in that world to accumulate incense, borrow the false to cultivate the truth, and restore her cultivation. I believe that next time she crosses dimensions back, she will be just like the Immortal Maiden, having opened the three flowers on her head," Li Yi said.
"Incense becoming a god, borrowing the false to cultivate the truth... This power of incense actually allowed Master Xiangxiang Xiangzi's Primordial Spirit seed to bloom early?" Xuan Yuezi's expression shifted slightly, and she couldn't help but feel curious about that world where incense becomes a god.
If one could truly obtain a massive amount of incense, then incense cultivation would undoubtedly be a shortcut.
Only Tai Yi had such an opportunity to find these two worlds and combine the cultivation methods of the two worlds, taking the strengths of each to make up for the weaknesses.
Li Yi said again: "Master Xiangxiang Xiangzi said that there are three Primordial Spirit imprints of deceased Immortal Maidens within the Heavenly Dao Seal. If they can be nourished with incense in the incense world, perhaps it can resurrect the other three Immortal Maidens."
"Hmm?" As soon as these words were spoken, the usually cold Xuan Yuezi could no longer remain calm. She grabbed Li Yi's hand and asked: "Did Master Xiangxiang Xiangzi really say that?"
Last time, when the Bald Daoist was refining the Xuanhuang Seal, he discovered the Primordial Spirit imprints of the three fallen Immortal Maidens. Therefore, ever since then, Xuan Yuezi had also been trying to find a way to resurrect those three Immortal Maidens.
But even though she was an expert at the Three Flowers Realm, she had no way to do this.
But the world of incense becoming gods that Li Yi spoke of made Xuan Yuezi realize that this was an opportunity.
"Master Xiangxiang Xiangzi said that there is a high probability of success, which is why she specifically asked me to inform the Immortal Maiden of this news," Li Yi said. "Although we are on the battlefield now and saying this is somewhat inappropriate, this matter is very important, so I felt I should say it the first time I saw the Immortal Maiden, lest something happen later that delays it and ruins a major event."
"Tai Yi, you did very well. This matter is indeed very important to me. Among the seven Immortal Maidens of the Seven Immortal Maidens lineage, three perished during the Dharma-Ending era, all of whom gave their lives to preserve the Xuanhuang Seal, while the other two were persecuted by the Tianyi Sect."
"If the three Immortal Maidens can be resurrected, that would definitely be a fortunate event."
Speaking of this, Xuan Yuezi continued: "After this matter is over, I want to cross dimensions and meet Master Xiangxiang Xiangzi."
"That is only natural." Li Yi nodded.
If the other three Immortal Maidens could be resurrected, this would undoubtedly increase the strength of his side to a great extent.
And just while they were chatting.
On another battlefield.
With Old Daoist Wu and the Bald Daoist joining forces, the Great Demon Lei Li Jiao was ultimately heading toward his end. The speed he was so proud of did not allow him to escape alive, because the Bald Daoist used the Daoist treasure, the Yin-Yang Creation Cauldron. This top-grade Daoist treasure had not been damaged even after experiencing the Dharma-Ending era. Now that it was wielded by an expert at the Three Flowers Realm, its power was truly endless.
Just a wisp of chaotic energy escaping was enough to seal this heaven and earth, leaving the Great Demon Lei Li Jiao with nowhere to flee.
Plus the joint attack of the two.
In just a moment's time, the Great Demon Lei Li Jiao was covered in wounds, with blood flowing continuously.
"Damn it."
Lei Li Jiao roared in unwillingness. At this moment, he finally experienced what it felt like to be surrounded and killed by others.
It was truly stifling.
If it were one-on-one, he would definitely not lose, but now it was two-on-one, which was not necessarily the case. Moreover, the newly arrived expert had a pile of treasures on him. Although his strength was not particularly strong, adding those treasures made people feel very troubled.
In a situation where he couldn't win and couldn't escape, being worn down by two people joining forces was only a matter of time.
"Call the Wind."
At this moment, the Bald Daoist seized the opportunity to display the Daoist technique he had cultivated for many years.
Lei Li Jiao, who was already injured, could only erupt with demonic power to resist the raging winds filling the sky. But just after resisting this gust of wind, a sharp long spear immediately killed him in an instant with the help of this wind.
This was a weapon at the level of a Daoist treasure, which easily tore through the Great Demon's protective demonic power and pierced his skull at an extremely fast speed.
Under this strike, the Great Demon of the Thunder Roc clan finally lost his life here.
As the massive demonic body manifested, the Bald Daoist arrived with the wind. He directly collected the Great Demon's corpse into his storage magic treasure to use for refining Daoist treasures in the future.
"Old Daoist Wu, are there any other Great Demons? Is this the only one left?" the Bald Daoist said, somewhat unsatisfied.
He still wanted to take advantage of the Immortal Maiden Xuan Yuezi's presence to hunt a few more Great Demons.
After all, if he missed this opportunity, there wouldn't be another one next time.
"There are still many Great Demons in the Demon God Realm; if you like, just go," Old Daoist Wu said somewhat irritably. "Do you really think Great Demons are soft persimmons? Their strength is equivalent to the Three Flowers Realm. Today, it was only because you and I joined forces that we killed one Great Demon. If it were one-on-one, it's hard to say who would kill whom."
"There are still Demon Kings in the Demon God Realm, whose strength is estimated to be between the peak of the Three Flowers Realm and the Great Perfection. At present, the Demon Kings haven't appeared yet; otherwise, this old Daoist would have died here today."
The Bald Daoist said: "That's because you are useless. You've cultivated for a lifetime and only opened one flower. If you had the Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown, how could those Great Demons be your opponents? You should reflect on yourself properly; you almost didn't even protect Tai Yi."
"Sure enough, cultivators born from small sects just don't work. Look at the Immortal Maiden; she killed four Great Demons in one move. Don't tell me the realm is different; in terms of age, you are much older than Xuan Yuezi."
"You bald man, how dare you criticize me? I haven't seen you for a long time recently," Old Daoist Wu said angrily.
"I have been traveling Earth and refining Daoist treasures. Don't look at where the Five-Colored Divine Bell in your hand came from. Without me, this Elder of the Daoist Treasure Sect, you would only be able to carry a submachine gun to fight those Great Demons," the Bald Daoist said.
Old Daoist Wu was speechless after being retorted like this. After all, taking things from others makes one's hands short, and the Daoist treasure in his hand was indeed refined by the Bald Daoist.
At this time, the injured Feiyunzi, seeing that the battle had subsided, also flew over and said: "The two of you, don't argue at this time. Although the current crisis has been resolved, the Demon God Realm will not let it go."
"This time, the opponent lost several more Great Demons. I'm afraid that the next time, that Tianyue Tianyue Yao Wang will appear. That will be the real big trouble."
"Once a Tianyue Yao Wang appears, we are definitely no match. At that time, even if Tai Yi opposes it, I will take him and flee here immediately," Old Daoist Wu said at this moment. "This old Daoist doesn't want to fight these things anymore."
"Old Daoist Wu, you've been beaten into fear," the Bald Daoist said with a smile.
Old Daoist Wu said irritably: "Try being surrounded and killed by several Great Demons and see. And for us few to want to resist the entire Demon God Realm is simply a pipe dream."
"For a cultivator, fighting is a common occurrence. Old Daoist Wu, it seems that after walking through the Dharma-Ending era, your courage is not as good as before," the Bald Daoist shook his head and said. "They are just Great Demons; what is there to fear? If they dare to come, just fight back. I really don't know how you got to the Three Flowers Realm. Did you just stay in the sect and cultivate in seclusion all the time?"
"I don't believe that when you were young, you never encountered strong enemies. Now that we have crossed dimensions to Earth, Tai Yi has continued the path of cultivation for us. We should naturally regain the mindset of our youth and continue to struggle, rather than being timid. For me, the Three Flowers Realm is just the beginning. In the future, I am someone who will attain the Dao and become an ancestor."
"What do a few Great Demons count for? When my three flowers are fully bloomed, I will definitely go and meet the Tianyue Yao Wang."
The Bald Daoist said with high spirits.
Old Daoist Wu's lips moved slightly, wanting to refute, but he felt somewhat powerless.
Yes.
When did he become so timid?
Was it because he became precious of his life after walking through the Dharma-Ending era, or was it that after crossing dimensions to Earth and recovering his cultivation at the Three Flowers Realm, he no longer had the courage to bear the consequences of loss?
But as a person of the Dao, Old Daoist Wu knew very well in his heart that if he lost this spirit of progress, his life would just be like this.
"Bald man, you are right. This old Daoist is old and ultimately cannot compare to when I was young. Facing the siege of several Great Demons from the Demon God Realm, I already felt timid. Under this state, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve anything in the future."
Old Daoist Wu sighed.
He thought of Xuan Yuezi. When she came to Earth, she only had two flowers blooming, but after several great battles, she was now at the Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown.
Admittedly, the Immortal Maiden's aptitude was higher than his own, but the greater gap between them lay in their respective temperaments.
"Old Daoist Wu, if you don't want to stay here and fight the Great Demons, you can leave. I believe Tai Yi won't stop you. However, I will stay. After all, Tai Yi can still cross dimensions back to the cultivation world, and bringing a few more experts at the Three Flowers Realm is not a difficult matter."
The Bald Daoist said very seriously at this moment.
Although Old Daoist Wu had fought repeatedly and could be considered to have worked hard, he did not like his attitude of retreating.
They had survived the Dharma-Ending era; to be scared out of their wits by a few Great Demons, how did this look like a cultivator?
