Chapter 952: Cultivation with the Emperor Furnace

"Li Yi, take advantage of this time to quickly use the Age Emperor Furnace for cultivation. You must break through to the Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang realm as soon as possible, otherwise, this Heavenly Emperor weapon will sooner or later bring you endless trouble."

"Although you are now a direct descendant of the Celestial God royal family and your status is unusual, Shen Wei is right. Although outsiders dare not have designs on you, the same cannot be said for others who are also direct descendants of the Celestial God royal family."

"In the Heavenly Realm, strength is the foundation. You, a Heavenly General, holding a Heavenly Emperor weapon, is indeed too flashy. It is fortunate that they don't know about the Heavenly Venerable Token, the Dao coins, and the Purple Blood; otherwise, even ten lives wouldn't be enough for you to die."

Hua Qing began to persuade Li Yi to take this opportunity to cultivate.

If he didn't break through to the Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang realm and only relied on Heavenly General combat power, he would have no say anywhere he went.

"I know, and I have that intention." Li Yi replied. Why had he distributed so many benefits and advantages earlier? Wasn't it because his own strength was insufficient?

Although he had taken the lion's share, this did not mean he could sit back and relax.

If other Heavenly Kings of the Celestial God race made things difficult for him, even if the Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang of Shen Wei had the heart to protect him, he would be powerless.

At that time, although he wouldn't be in danger of losing his life, he would likely end up with nothing, having done the work for others.

Thinking of this.

Li Yi immediately found a quiet place and set up the Age Emperor Furnace.

A copper furnace as huge as a towering mountain appeared before his eyes. Inside, Yin and Yang energy circulated, as if a world were rising and falling within, revealing an astonishing momentum.

In the secret realm, many people saw this Emperor Furnace, and their gazes all held looks of surprise.

This was a Heavenly Emperor weapon, extremely rare to them, so they were naturally curious and envious.

"Everyone, this Heavenly Emperor weapon has infinite marvelous uses, but I also need to explore it upon first mastering it. After I have gained some insights, I am willing to share this Emperor weapon with you all."

Li Yi said to the crowd; he was both making a promise and stabilizing everyone's emotions.

After all, they had fought a battle; if they didn't get some benefits, it was inevitable that they would feel dissatisfied.

But right now, Li Yi didn't have time to appease everyone's emotions; he had to seize the time to master the Emperor Furnace and increase his strength.

Immediately.

He did not have the slightest hesitation and leaped toward the Emperor Furnace.

"There is a place where Yin and Yang converge between the Yin and Yang energy; that is the most suitable place for your cultivation." Hua Qing reminded him, while also pointing out how to correctly use this Heavenly Emperor weapon.

Li Yi followed the guidance, using the 24-petal Purple Lotus to protect his body, manipulating the Emperor Furnace to slow down the quantity of Yin and Yang energy, and then crossed the dangerous area to arrive at a special place.

It was as if heaven and earth were intersecting here, a place where the sun and moon were reopened, with infinite creation. Yin and Yang rotated, and under the weight of time, one could not feel the passage of time, but a day spent here was extremely long.

"What a place for cultivation." Li Yi felt that all the marvelous gates of his body were opened, and both his soul and physical body were being refined by the Age Emperor Furnace.

Although it couldn't compare to the baptism of the Heavenly Venerable blood, it was still extraordinary in the long run.

The next moment.

Hua Qing also flew out. He was in the appearance of a youth, his purple aura hidden, noble beyond words, as if he were a young emperor.

"I will also use this Emperor Furnace for cultivation. I will leave after reaching the Heavenly General realm. Before that, shouldn't you return my things?" He reached out to Li Yi to ask for them.

"You old fellow, would I covet your little bit of things?" Li Yi waved his hand, and several rays of treasure light flew out: "This is the agreed-upon 50,000 catties of Nine Heavens Divine Water and 1,000 catties of Purple Blood. When you leave, I will reward you with ten Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang puppets to help you fly high in the future."

Hua Qing laughed after accepting the things: "Not bad. Although you brat are born evil, you are still very trustworthy. Originally, I favored that brat Wang Hu more and intended to cultivate him to come to the Heavenly Realm. It's a pity that his skills were inferior to others, and he lost to you, which led to your fortune today."

"Alright, enough said. I am going into seclusion. Before arriving at the Celestial God Nation, I must find a way to get off the ship, otherwise, being discovered will likely cause quite a bit of trouble."

Afterward, he took these resources and flew out toward another quiet place, beginning his recultivation plan.

Li Yi watched Hua Qing leave.

If nothing unexpected happened, the fate between the two would end here. Who knew what year or month they would meet again in the Heavenly Realm? But after this experience of perishing, he believed this old fellow would not make those low-level mistakes again. Returning to the Heavenly Emperor realm in the future was just a matter of time.

"I must also open more marvelous gates, condense divine blood, and step into the Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang realm."

Li Yi took a deep breath, then put away all sorts of thoughts, manifested a 100-zhang body, and then swallowed the endless spiritual energy within the Age Emperor Furnace, guiding the Yin and Yang energy to cover his body, and opened more marvelous gates.

150 marvelous gates were still too few. To perfect the Three Flowers and break through to the Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang realm, he still needed bitter cultivation.

With the rush of Yin and Yang energy.

Li Yi felt his physical body transforming again. At the same time, with the assistance of Yin and Yang energy, opening the marvelous gates became much easier, and his divine blood was automatically refined, as if pairs of invisible hands were helping him cultivate.

"Is this the effect of the Age Emperor Furnace?" He even felt that even if he lay here sleeping, his strength could become stronger.

And because of the circulation of Yin and Yang energy, time here also seemed to become long. He just didn't know how long had passed outside after cultivating here for a year.

It didn't matter.

When the Boundary Boat stopped, he would naturally be notified, because Li Yi had imprinted his Primordial Spirit into the Emperor Furnace and had a certain perception of the outside world.

Soon.

Inside the Emperor Furnace, thunder surged, five-colored divine light bloomed, purple divine blood boiled, and various strange phenomena occurred frequently. A 100-zhang giant broke through his limits at this moment, his divine body rising again—110 zhang, 120 zhang—an aura exceeding that of a Heavenly General becoming stronger and more condensed.

He was just waiting to reach a certain limit to break through the Heavenly General realm and step into the Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang realm.

"Before, Li Yi was only recultivating, and his potential hadn't been fully unleashed. Now, it is the time for him to truly show his foundation. With the help of the Age Emperor Furnace, I don't know to what extent he can rush."

In another corner of the Emperor Furnace, Hua Qing felt such movement and couldn't help but marvel inwardly.

Li Yi had obtained the Zhou Tian Shen Mo marvelous method; the Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang realm could no longer stop him. With his potential and that storage bracelet of Purple Blood, even a Heavenly Emperor had a chance.

Afterward, he looked at the resources in his hand and did not hesitate in the slightest. He pinched a magic seal, and the Nine Heavens Divine Water in the jade bottle flew out, turning into a rainbow that enveloped his whole body.

At this moment, Hua Qing's whole body was blooming with treasure light, as if he were about to ascend.

If one wanted to take a shortcut in cultivation, it was inevitable to consume a large amount of resources.

50,000 catties of Nine Heavens Divine Water was his capital for a comeback.

The reason this item was so precious in the Heavenly Realm, and even used as money, was because the Nine Heavens Divine Water had too many marvelous uses. It could allow your body to be reborn, heal injuries, make your Primordial Spirit stronger, temper your body, accelerate cultivation, and even be used to refine weapons, because refining Heavenly Emperor weapons required a large amount of Nine Heavens Divine Water.

Of course, if you were rich enough, you could also drink it directly. Long-term consumption could increase your cultivation potential and help you break through realms; it was the best elixir.

Therefore, for cultivators, the Nine Heavens Divine Water was an indispensable thing.

Hua Qing bathed his whole body in the Nine Heavens Divine Water, plus the Yin and Yang energy, and having been baptized by the Purple Blood earlier, his strength could be said to have improved rapidly in this recultivation.

The speed of cultivation was so fast that it made people feel he wasn't cultivating at all, but rather quickly retrieving a portion of his power from his previous life.

Just as Li Yi was immersed in cultivation, the news of him obtaining the Age Emperor Furnace spread like wildfire.

It even spread throughout the Triple Heaven very quickly. This was clearly news intentionally spread by the enemies who had fled earlier, and the Imperial City that had turned into ruins due to the Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang battle also welcomed visits from many Heavenly Kings in a short time.

Many Heavenly Kings were filled with regret at this moment.

If they had known there was a Heavenly Emperor weapon in the final Imperial Palace, they would have participated long ago; how could they have let the Celestial God race pick up the bargain?

Besides this, there was another piece of news that many people paid attention to.

That was that the Heavenly Emperor Hua Qing had reincarnated and recultivated, and his current identity was Tai Yi of the Celestial God royal family.

However, most people were not interested in this news, because they didn't care about a reincarnated Heavenly Emperor recultivating. And the purpose of the person spreading this news was naturally to attract the attention of Hua Qing's former enemies.

They hoped that an enemy could retaliate against Li Yi, preferably killing him.

However, right now, these things could not affect Li Yi for the time being, because the people of the Celestial God race had already taken the Boundary Boat and left, and they had already left the Triple Heaven.

Even if the news spread fast, it was impossible to intercept the Boundary Boat of the Celestial God race.

However, the news that Tai Yi had obtained a Heavenly Emperor weapon also attracted the attention of the Celestial God royal family. They knew that Tai Yi was a royal descendant who had returned recently, had no status or background, and no elders to support him, so they also had some designs on the Heavenly Emperor weapon.

It was just as Shen Wei had said.

Most of the Celestial God race, even if they had the heart, dared not have designs on Li Yi, because offending Li Yi was equivalent to offending the entire direct lineage of the Celestial God royal family.

But there was one exception, and that was the direct lineage of the Celestial God royal family itself.

At this moment, inside the secret realm.

The Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang of Shen Wei and the Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang of Han Shan looked at the huge Emperor Furnace lying between heaven and earth like a mountain, discussing the recent events.

"Tai Yi seizing a Heavenly Emperor weapon is a good thing for our entire Celestial God race. It not only raised the prestige of our Celestial God race but also told many people the extraordinary nature of our Celestial God royal family. But there are pros and cons. Tai Yi only having the combat power of a Heavenly General while holding a Heavenly Emperor weapon is still too much of a stretch."

Shen Wei said: "I have received a reply from the Divine Emperor Hao Guang. The Divine Emperor is willing to protect Tai Yi, but he cannot stop other direct descendants of the Celestial God royal family. If he wants to keep the Heavenly Emperor weapon, he must break through to the Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang realm. Otherwise, his Heavenly Emperor weapon will likely be taken back. Of course, the Celestial God royal family will also give him a sufficiently weighty compensation."

"Han Shan, don't be unconvinced. Whether it's your branch or mine, the Celestial God race cannot protect Tai Yi. If we had enough power, one wouldn't be a guard and the other wouldn't be stationed at the Boundary Boat."

The Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang of Han Shan remained silent; she knew that Shen Wei's words were all true.

A Heavenly Emperor weapon was enough for a Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang of the direct lineage of the Celestial God royal family to descend.

Although there would be compensation later, no compensation was worth a Heavenly Emperor weapon. This thing couldn't be bought with money; it required a Heavenly Emperor to toil for many years, collect materials, and then spend countless years refining it.

Although Tai Yi truly couldn't control a Heavenly Emperor weapon right now, he would grow in the future. As long as the Age Emperor Furnace was in his hands, he would always be one step ahead of others in the same realm.

Even if they were both Heavenly Emperors, having the blessing of two Heavenly Emperor weapons was enough to intimidate the other party. ===== CHAPTER 953 =====
