Chapter 721: Chapter 514: Bloodline Conflict

The moment before he was still in a relentless confrontation with Li Yi, and the next moment this Master Tianhe was prostrating on the ground, kowtowing and begging for mercy, showing no trace of the dignity and demeanor one would expect from a master of the Divinity Transformation Realm. Or perhaps, this was simply the tradition of the Xuanxian Continent—it’s not shameful to surrender when you can’t win.

Li Yi had encountered this kind of situation more than once, but such a high level of awareness was indeed rare.

At this moment, Master Tianhe was sweating coldly on his forehead. He knew better than anyone that when that five-colored light appeared before him, he lost all his chances. The only path left was to plead for his life.

"Senior Wu, how’s the situation over there?" Li Yi let out a small sigh of relief and asked.

Wu Lao Dai was currently radiating with a five-colored light, riding the wind, a Primordial Spirit Flower blossoming, exuding an extraordinary demeanor, as he stroked his beard and said, "A cultivator of the Transcendance Tribulation Stage struggled desperately to escape, but was ultimately exterminated by this old Taoist. However, this person was amazingly resourceful; I acquired a top-grade treasure and a mid-grade treasure."

As he spoke, he opened his palm, revealing a gathering of five-colored qi, within which rested a small green mountain and a blue Daoist robe.

"Taiyi, these are for you." Wu Lao Daoist generously offered these two treasures to Li Yi.

Li Yi immediately declined, "I already have enough Dao Artifacts, and with my mana, I can’t manage so many treasures. So, you’d better keep these treasures for yourself."

"As you wish, then I won’t insist. Next time when Taiyi brings that bald man here, and he masters the Heaven and Earth Furnace, we will no longer lack magic treasures. He is, after all, an elder of the Daoqi Sect, well-versed in its true teachings." Wu Lao Daoist, having said that, pointed at Master Tianhe, "I’ll help you get rid of this Divinity Transformation Realm cultivator."

"Spare me, senior. I don’t want to die. As long as you don’t kill me, I’ll do anything you ask," Master Tianhe urgently pleaded, his whole body trembling, terrified to the extreme at the thought of death.

The longer one lives and the stronger one is, the more one clings to life and fears death.

It’s been tough for him to achieve his current strength and status. There’s still a lot of time to enjoy life; how could he be willing to die here like this?

Wu Lao Daoist squinted his eyes slightly, his expression indifferent, unmoved. He looked at Li Yi, awaiting his response.

Li Yi initially intended to kill him but thought that sparing a Divinity Transformation Realm expert might be useful, and besides, such a person who knows how to adapt could be considered a rare talent, and should be utilized properly.

"I can spare your life, but I’m not too comfortable with you; tell me, what should I do?" he asked, looking at Master Tianhe.

"I understand, I get the rules. I’ll open my primordial spirit and let you implant a restrictive imprint, allowing you to have complete control over my life from now on," Master Tianhe hastily said.

Li Yi shook his head and said, "As an Earthling, I don’t understand this stuff, and I certainly don’t trust such methods can’t be undone. I don’t trust any of your methods."

"I’ll cast the Soul Loss Curse on him; it’s a malicious curse, rooted in the primordial spirit and body, and cannot be removed. It will follow the cursed for life." Wu Lao Daoist immediately formed a mudra, releasing a black-purple light, which bore numerous talismans that shot towards Master Tianhe.

Master Tianhe dared not resist. He understood that if he showed even the slightest sign of defiance, the opposite would not be casting the Soul Loss Curse but directly striking him to absolute destruction.

As the curse entered his body, he felt black-purple runes wrapping around his primordial spirit, burrowing deep into his very marrow, inseparable, yet he felt no apparent difference.

Then, Wu Lao Daoist, with a wave of his hand from a distance, pulled a drop of Li Yi’s blood and infused it into the Soul Loss Curse on Master Tianhe’s primordial spirit.

With the curse’s talismans glowing red due to the blood, the spell was complete.

"It’s done."

Wu Lao Daoist said, "From now on, your life is under Taiyi’s control. If he wishes for your demise, you won’t survive beyond ten breaths. If he meets an untimely end, the Soul Loss Curse will explode, causing your death as well. But if you obey orders diligently, you can remain safe and sound."

Li Yi felt a mysterious connection with the Soul Loss Curse, as though he could trigger the spell at any moment to bring Master Tianhe’s doom.

However, he held great trust in Wu Lao Daoist’s methods.

"I absolutely dare not disobey. From now on, I am Mr. Li’s loyal servant. If he orders me to head east, I wouldn’t dare go west. I’d even go through fire and water for Mr. Li," Master Tianhe finally felt the weight lift off his chest. With the Soul Loss Curse planted, at least his life was spared.

As for the future, it would be taken one step at a time.

Li Yi, however, remained calm and said, "It’s normal for a Divinity Transformation Realm expert under my control to harbor resentment, but you’d better not let me find out. Otherwise, I can reclaim your life anytime. Now, I won’t waste words with you, tell me, where is the power behind the Floating Immortal Island? I want to settle accounts."

"The Floating Immortal Island is subordinate to Bikong Island of the Feixian Sea. The Island Master is Jinyu Taoist, a Transcendance Tribulation Stage expert... now most likely deceased." Master Tianhe carefully glanced at Wu Lao Daoist, and then added, "I joined Bikong Island as a Loose Cultivator to serve them. Previously stationed on Earth, Master Chang Yi, although a Vice Island Master, was also originally a Loose Cultivator."

Li Yi asked, "Are there any other experts on Bikong Island?"

"No experts left. Bikong Island is a small force. Jinyu Taoist was only a Loose Cultivator in the Feixian Sea who reached the Transcendance Tribulation Stage and seized an island, forming his own force. Now, at most, the island only has a few Nascent Soul cultivators and a dozen Golden Core cultivators. These people are insignificant before Mr. Li and the senior," Master Tianhe said hurriedly.

Li Yi’s eyes turned cold, "A Loose Cultivator force at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage dares to cross worlds to Earth and settle in a city? You must be joking,"

"On the surface, it is indeed so, but behind the scenes, there’s naturally involvement from a great power of Flying Immortal Island. Although I’m a Divinity Transformation Realm Loose Cultivator on the surface, in reality, I’m one of the True Disciples of the Feixian Sea’s Three Immortals Sect. The purpose was to use Bikong Island as a foothold to investigate Earth’s situation while discreetly setting up arrangements for future needs," Master Tianhe immediately revealed his true identity and purpose.

"So that’s how it is, Bikong Island has been used as a pawn. Does Jinyu Taoist know about this?" Li Yi asked.

"He knows, but Jinyu Taoist has no choice. Even though he has reached the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, the heavenly tribulation is not yet over. Our Three Immortals Sect promised that if this succeeds, we will lend him an Immortal Artifact during his tribulation to help him become a Mahayana cultivator," Master Tianhe said.

"It’s all a transaction in the end? Very well, I have a rough understanding of this matter, but whether what you say is true or false still needs verification. Take me to Bikong Island," Li Yi said again. However, after saying this, he coughed again, spitting out fresh blood, and his breath became even more debilitated.

Master Tianhe was shocked. The injuries on Li Yi’s body were all inflicted by him. If the condition worsens, he might end up in trouble.

He didn’t dare to say a word more and obediently led the way.

Soon.

Above the sea, a fragrant island covered with birdsong and flowers appeared before them.

The island was filled with pavilions, towers, palaces, and houses, all kinds of structures, and there were many immortal cranes flying around, making it indeed look like an Immortal Island. However, around Bikong Island, there was an Island Protection Array operating, covering the entire island, and anyone attempting to enter recklessly would be attacked by the formation.

Master Tianhe obviously had considerable authority. He controlled the formation, opened a corner, and respectfully invited the two into the island.

Wu Lao Dao sensed carefully and, upon confirming there was no problem, nodded slightly.

Only then did Li Yi feel assured to enter the island.

However, his condition was worsening, his Mana exhausted, his Qi-Blood depleted, and there was an unusual bloodline conflict within his body.

The feared situation occurred.

After consuming the Golden Apple, the power of the dragon bloodline was incompatible with the divine bloodline, causing his body to become increasingly weak. But there was no choice; at the time, Li Yi was severely injured. Had he not eaten the Golden Apple, he might have died and wouldn’t have lasted until now.

"Taiyi, you need to rest now," Wu Lao Dao immediately said.

Li Yi nodded, "I know."

Then he glanced at Master Tianhe again.

Master Tianhe, feeling an internal panic, immediately said, "There is a small spirit vein on Bikong Island that used to be Jinyu Taoist’s palace. You can go there to recuperate. I also know that in Jinyu Taoist’s treasury, there is an Immortal Pill, a gift from the Three Immortals Sect called the Three-Colored Heavenly Treasure Pill. It strengthens the Primordial Spirit, regenerates the body, and refines Mana. Jinyu Taoist originally left it for his Transcendance Tribulation Stage to increase the chance of success. Now that Jinyu Taoist is dead, it belongs to Mr. Li."

"I don’t care what tricks you play; your life is in my hands. If I’m not happy, neither will you be. Master Tianhe, you’re a smart man, so I won’t say more," Li Yi said as he flew toward Jinyu Taoist’s palace.

The palace wasn’t large but was exquisitely luxurious.

Upon entering, he felt Spiritual Energy rushing in from all directions, all sealed within the palace without any leakage.

Just one breath, and Li Yi felt slightly restored.

Sure enough.

When it comes to cultivation environments, Xuanxian Continent is the best.

"Heaven and Earth Qi Gathering Technique." Without hesitation, Li Yi formed hand seals, operated his Tao Skill, and enacted the Great Method.

The next moment.

Nature’s spiritual energy rushed over, quickly converging towards his body. He immediately felt his body recovering significantly, and the Mana in the thirteen acupoints was gradually being refilled.

But soon.

"Puff!"

A mouthful of blood spewed out, and the blood was three-colored: silver, red, and a faint golden hue.

"The power of the Golden Apple is wreaking havoc in my body; if this goes on, this body will be ruined," Li Yi’s face changed slightly. If this bloodline conflict isn’t resolved, he will be forced to switch to another body.

Fortunately, his Five Elements Bracelet still held a Life Cradle, cultivating his new body within.

However, that new body is only about twelve years old, and due to insufficient divine bloodline, has stopped developing. If he switches bodies now, shrinking in size is trivial, but he stands to lose most of his power.

Not only will he lose the Spirit Power Realm, but also the Five Qi Realm, the thirteen acupoints will vanish too.

At that time, Li Yi will revert to a regular Soul Realm Evolver, having to start all over again.

"Unless absolutely necessary, I can’t change bodies," Li Yi thought to himself, wiping the blood from his lips. "I must eliminate the dragon bloodline brought by the Golden Apple."
