Chapter 1037: 834 Chapter Domineering Divine Body_2

Buddhism might veil some truths, but those of the Taoist faith openly proclaim to their followers that the so-called ’Emperor Xuanhuang’ is none other than the current Prince Fenyang. Hence, the incense offerings in that region are exceptionally prosperous, as the common people are willing to donate and contribute money to Prince Fenyang.

Li Xuan chuckled. "I met Ksitigarbha Buddha, and this Bodhisattva is indeed worth respecting. The vow he made, ’Not until Hell is empty will I become a Buddha; not until all beings are saved will I certify to Bodhi,’ no matter the original intention, the aspiration is still excellent."

For over ten thousand years, the Underworld River has been suppressed by him, sparing the world of countless spiritual disasters and demonic deeds. Enduring and immobile like the earth, his contemplation deep and secret like a hidden treasure, his reputation is well-deserved."

He deactivated his Tao-protecting Eyes. "Though still at the Bodhisattva Position, his combat strength is no less than that of half-divine level. With the Underworld River suppressed, there shouldn’t be any major issues in the short term. In the upcoming months, I will not have the time to concern myself with the Underworld River. I can only ask Teacher and the Chenghuangs to pay extra attention, and prevent evil spirits and demons from coming into contact with these Blood Lakes."

These Blood Lakes possess the divine power to induce and strengthen all manner of demons and spirits, including ox-heads and snake deities.

"No time?"

Zhonglie Duke Wen looked skeptically at Li Xuan. "Are you planning to campaign in the Outer Void again? Isn’t it a bit premature? Those emperors from the Outer Void must all have their eyes on you now. The risk this time is no small matter."

He knew that in the ten months since the battle at the First Emperor’s tomb, Li Xuan had completed four Kunpeng Warships under his command, with another on the slipway nearing completion. The Yunzhong warships had increased to a formidable count of one hundred and forty.

The number of heavenly soldiers and generals under Li Xuan’s command had also rapidly expanded. Their number should have swollen to between three hundred eighty thousand and four hundred thousand, with forty-five complete divisions.

Even so, compared to the emperors of the Outer Taixu, this military force was still relatively weak.

"The risk is indeed considerable, but if I don’t go into battle now, I’ll end up dragging myself down," Li Xuan said, shaking his head with a calm expression. "Moreover, there are people in Luo Great Heaven waiting for me to relieve them."

He had long since exhausted the spoils of war seized during the last campaign in the Outer Taixu. The gains from conquering Dasiming and the South Palace of Jinque were also depleted.

In the past ten months, the more than one hundred million silver yuan that Li Xuan earned through grain trade had almost all been invested in the expansion of the army. The treasury of the Heavenly Court was so empty it could have hosted a horse race, and they also owed several tens of millions of silver yuan to the Shenqi Union.

Furthermore, the Red Turban Army in Luo Great Heaven had also reached a desperate state.

They claimed they could only hold out for half a year, but in reality, they had already been stretched for over a year.

Over the year, Li Xuan had provided support to the Red Turban Army through various means, such as leveraging the power of Buddhism and Matsu in the Outer Void to remotely constrain emperors like those of the South and Gouchen, or using grain as leverage to move the powers of other emperors.

However, as time passed, the situation of the Red Turban Army in Luo Great Heaven became increasingly dire.

Seeing Zhonglie Duke Wen frown deeply, Li Xuan couldn’t help but chuckle. "Teacher, please rest assured, I am not hastily deploying troops this time. I have been planning for a while. And I estimate that after this battle, Teacher will no longer need to worry about the First Emperor’s Seal falling apart."

"Oh?" Zhonglie Duke Wen showed a look of curiosity. "I would like to hear more about it."

Li Xuan, hearing this, shook his head. "It’s a complicated matter, and one which you might find hard to believe, Teacher. So I shall not explain. You will naturally learn what happens in a few months."

When Li Xuan returned to his Heavenly Court of Xuanhuang, his eyes immediately swept toward the Solar Furnaces.

By now, these ’giant eggs’ had remarkably grown to nine in number. And to their south, stood an even larger spherical structure spanning three miles north to south.

This was the ’Dyson Sphere’ that contained the remains of Emperor Dijun, providing nearly seventy percent of the Heavenly Court’s power supply.

The so-called Dyson Sphere, a concept put forth by modern scientists, is a manmade celestial body that wraps around a star to harvest solar energy, utilizing the sun as a natural nuclear fusion reactor.

The size of a Dyson Sphere can vary greatly; if there’s a fusion source as small as a fist, the Dyson Sphere can also be scaled down to that size.

The remains of Emperor Dijun were continuously undergoing natural nuclear fusion, making them the perfect material for constructing a miniature Dyson Sphere.

However, what captured Li Xuan’s attention was the massive foundry situated between the nine ’Solar Furnaces’ and the ’Dyson Sphere.’

Upon seeing the surge of the Qi of the five elements above that foundry, Li Xuan’s eyes lit up with joy, and he teleported inside the workshop.

At its center stood an enormous furnace, connected to ten thick pipes that snaked around the area.

Before the furnace, Mr. and Mrs. Yue sat cross-legged with Dugu Biluo, each occupying their own space.

After Li Xuan entered, he looked at the furnace with anticipation, "Is this tripod already refined? Can I see it now?"

"It’s best to wait a bit longer," Mrs. Le said, shaking her head in frustration, "Although the vessel has been completed, it needs time to rest and settle. Can’t you even wait for that? The power of the five elements in the tripod is not yet stable and cannot be stimulated by external forces. And with your Spirit Eye as powerful as it is now, you shouldn’t worry that it will run off with your blood essence and True Spirit within it. What’s the rush?"

Li Xuan could only offer an embarrassed smile, "Then when can this tripod be taken out of the furnace?"

The object being refined in this furnace was none other than his Huntian Zhenyuan Cauldron.

This artifact had always been in an implement embryo state, with the power of Rule only being able to manifest to a tenth of its potential.

This time, Li Xuan had extorted five strands of Qi of Hunyuan and the five elements from the Changsheng Emperor of the South, all of which were fused into it, not only intending to refine it into a real divine treasure. But also hoping to further improve the quality of the Huntian Zhenyuan Cauldron and generate a second type of Rule, ’Hunyuan’.

Hunyuan is the essence of unseparated vital energy, the chaos as one, the beginning of Yuan Qi.

Once this Rule is produced, Li Xuan will no longer have to be troubled by insufficient Mana and can directly extract the Qi of Hunyuan and the five elements from the Huntian Zhenyuan Cauldron to replace Mana, equating to an External Pill on the verge of the saintly level.

Moreover, this item is also the external tool for him to cultivate the Golden Body.

Li Xuan’s Martial Law unifies various techniques through "Nuclear Fusion Furnace," while his Golden Body is founded on his own Vast Intent Overlord Tripod.

The Vast Intent Overlord Tripod blends Dragon Qi and HaoYi within it, to forge a Zhongzi Golden Body unseen in the world.

But how could a technique named ’Overlord Tripod’ exist without a tripod?

In his vision, this cauldron would be his Golden Body, the key to stepping into the seventh level of the Vast Intent Overlord Tripod, ’Domineering Divine Body.’

To gather twelve strands of Dragon Qi as the cauldron, incorporating mortal incense to refine the supreme divine body.

Originally, in Daoism’s Nine Turns Yuan Technique and Buddhism’s Bajiu Technique, this level was called ’Qi-Orifices Golden Body.’

But the path Li Xuan took for refining his body had already veered away from the two ways of Daoism and Buddhism.

Therefore, Li Xuan was particularly looking forward to this artifact.

"At most three to five days," Yue Huaiyuan said with closed eyes, "It won’t delay your campaign."

Li Xuan nodded slightly, then turned with some concern to look at Dugu Biluo. She sat quietly, ignoring Li Xuan’s presence and seemingly deaf to the outside world.

"You don’t need to worry about her," Mrs. Le said with a crooked smile, "The moment the artifact is completed will be the moment she cuts off her connection with the Huntian Zhenyuan Cauldron, and it won’t harm her Yuan Qi. This girl is personally sensing the changes in the Qi of Hunyuan and the five elements, refining her body with the condensed Hunyuan Qi. Maybe in another three to five months, she could step into the middle heaven level."

Dugu Biluo had already advanced to the sub-heavenly level a year ago. Now, with this opportunity, she might be able to cross in a short period what others would need decades or even centuries to achieve and significantly enhance her understanding of the true meaning of Martial Law.

Li Xuan didn’t take Mrs. Le’s words at face value and continued to scrutinize Dugu Biluo with his Tao-protecting Eyes.

He knew that his mother-in-law did not care for other women around her, except for Jiang Hanyun.

Only when he saw that Dugu Biluo’s True Spirit was indeed stable and her Yuan Qi profound did he finally relax and feel reassured.

In the past, Li Xuan was unable to bear the wear of the Huntian Zhenyuan Cauldron himself and also sought to use it to suppress Dugu Biluo’s severely damaged True Spirit and flesh, thus making Dugu Biluo the implement slave of this cauldron.

But now, with his cultivation growing daily, and preparing to reclaim this cauldron as the foundation of the Vast Intent Overlord Tripod, he needed to sever Dugu Biluo’s connection with the cauldron.

However, this action was extremely dangerous; the slightest carelessness could lead to Dugu Biluo’s fall.

But now, she no longer wanted to die, and Li Xuan was not willing to let his personal great secret perish.

Looking at Dugu Biluo’s current physical condition, it actually seemed quite favorable.
