Chapter 791: Chapter 572 Third Level of Five Qi Realm

Since Li Yi moved into the Wuji Palace, six days have passed in the blink of an eye.

During these six days, the power of incense faith in his position as State Preceptor has reached its peak, and his cultivation has undergone an earth-shattering change. Not only has he broken through to the second level of the Five Qi Realm, but he has also successfully opened thirty-six acupoints. If all goes well, he can break through to the third level of the Five Qi Realm.

However, the speed of absorbing Wood Qi is a bit slow. Even with the power of incense faith to perform the Heaven and Earth Qi Gathering Technique, he has only filled eight acupoints so far, with four acupoints remaining unfilled.

At this rate of cultivation, Li Yi estimates he can break into the third level of the Five Qi Realm in one breath.

Therefore, the speed of opening acupoints must be accelerated.

At least all sixty acupoints required for the Five Qi Realm must be opened. Once he leaves this world of becoming an Incense Fire God and returns to Earth, or goes to another world, such a good opportunity will no longer be available.

"The power of incense faith has reached the limit I can currently obtain. To continue increasing the power of incense, I must initiate the plan to break mountains and temples." In the Wuji Palace, Li Yi felt that his incense limit had been reached. Although the incense power continued to increase sporadically over the next two days,

the speed of increase had become very slow.

And the more acupoints opened, the more incense is needed. If the incense is insufficient, opening is still possible, but the speed will slow down accordingly. Currently, Li Yi’s speed of opening new acupoints is not as fast as before, but fortunately, he has not yet reached his limit. According to his estimation, opening twelve more acupoints should not be a problem.

"Immortal, how are things on your side?"

Li Yi took a brief rest and found that all the elixirs in his Five Elements Bracelet had been consumed. Whether it was the Spirit Blood Pill, the relatively precious Kui Dragon Pill, or other items that replenish Qi-Blood, all had been depleted.

The large number of opened acupoints resulted in a tremendous demand for Qi-Blood.

And in this world where he becomes an Incense Fire God, there aren’t that many heavenly treasures to nourish him, so currently, the acupoints in Li Yi’s body have yet to be filled with sufficient Divine Blood and are still in a state of hunger.

He believes this problem cannot be resolved in this world; he must go to the Barbaric World or the Demon God Realm to resolve it.

Those two worlds have mutant beasts and great demons, which are best for tempering the physical body.

"I’ve roughly mastered the Big and Small Ruyi Skill. This spell is indeed exquisitely superb, no wonder the experts of the Tianyi Sect haven’t fully learned it yet. Even with the power of incense faith to deduce it, it took me six whole days, but to fully master it, I still need more incense power, Taiyi, you need to obtain more incense power." Xiang Xiangzi’s primordial spirit could be clearly seen atop the Primordial Spirit Flower as she sat with her eyes closed, enveloped in incense fire energy, like an Incense Fire God. At this moment, she opened her eyes, a hint of frustration on her face.

"Being able to roughly master the Big and Small Ruyi Skill within six days is already impressive. Immortal, don’t be discouraged." Li Yi said.

Xiang Xiangzi replied, "However, I also learned that bald guy’s Rain Summoning Skill in the process. As for the Spell of Flipping Rivers and Seas, I’ll have to learn it later, Taiyi. I’ll first transmit the Big and Small Ruyi Skill and the Rain Summoning Skill to you. The rest will be passed on to you after I’ve learned them."

"Then I’ll trouble you, Immortal." Li Yi said.

"With our primordial spirits united, why distinguish between ourselves?"

As Xiang Xiangzi spoke, a clear light descended from the Primordial Spirit Flower, directly entering the depths of Li Yi’s mind, merging with his soul.

In an instant, the mysteries of the Big and Small Ruyi Skill and the Rain Summoning Skill unfurled in Li Yi’s mind.

The various Daoist skills intertwined, enabling him to master new spells in a short period.

"Primordial Spirit transmission is truly unbelievable." Li Yi said, bewildered.

"Naturally, once I learn it, it’s as if you’ve learned it too, as my Primordial Spirit Seed exists relying on your soul power, needing your soul power to germinate. But the current situation is very special; I awakened ahead of time because of the power of incense faith, which is unprecedented. Moreover, the power of incense has tightly linked our primordial spirits. In a normal situation, by the time your Three Flowers bloom, my Primordial Spirit Power would hardly affect your primordial spirit, let alone interfere with your primordial spirit to conduct Primordial Spirit transmission."

After saying this, Xiang Xiangzi continued, "Why have you stopped cultivating now? The power of incense is still flourishing."

"Because I’m a bit hungry, I needed to rest a little. All my items in the Five Elements Bracelet have been consumed, the needs of the body are too enormous, and this world will hardly satisfy my Qi-Blood consumption," Li Yi responded.

The drawback of practicing multiple techniques lies here, with the resources consumed being enormous.

"Then break through to the third level of the Five Qi Realm in one go, then leave seclusion to annihilate the Incense Fire God of this world, gather the incense of the world, and then cross worlds and leave." Xiang Xiangzi said.

"I think the same, only four acupoints remain, I aim to refine them in one go," Li Yi said.

After a brief rest.

Li Yi once again performed the Heaven and Earth Qi Gathering Technique while taking out a Seven-Colored Stone.

Immediately, the green wood energy surged into the body, its speed even faster than before.

However, as the acupoints in his body increased, Li Yi felt his life force had become immensely powerful. Even in a state of hunger, his Dragon and Tiger Power was more than ten times stronger than before. Without needing to do anything, just a single punch could shatter mountains. If he were to fully master the Five Qi Realm and fill his acupoints with Divine Blood, he might truly be able to try punching the heavens into submission and reversing mountains and rivers.

The martial artists of the Four Seas and Eight Continents achieving such a level is indeed incredible.

During this period of cultivation, the Jinyi Guard and Golden Eyes Guard stationed near Wuji Palace also gained significant fortunes. They underwent a baptism of nature’s spiritual energy, evolving themselves. Some in the Inspiration Realm broke through to the Spiritual Realm, and after several shifts, they helped at least a hundred people advance.

Although they also had foundational skills, this is still quite remarkable.

This led the Jinyi Guard and Golden Eyes Guard to eagerly desire to serve at Wuji Palace, hoping to experience the baptism of Heaven and Earth Energy.

In these last four days of cultivation time.

Within Yongchang Hall of the Imperial Palace, Li Jiye, the Emperor Shenwu, had made his preparations. He gazed daily towards Wuji Palace, feeling the increasingly powerful aura. He was very gratified, as everything was going as he had anticipated. The incense fire energy of the state preceptor could help Yi’s strength advance rapidly in a short time.

However, reality exceeded expectations.

Li Yi’s improvement in strength was astonishing. Even from afar, he could feel the earth-shaking Dragon and Tiger Power and unparalleled robust mana.

"Cultivating multiple methods simultaneously truly holds immense potential," Li Jiye thought to himself. He too received a gift from Li Yi, a cultivation technique called the Nine Transmutation Immortal Technique.

Though it only reached up to the sixth transmutation, allowing cultivation only to the Transcendence Tribulation Stage, it could grant a lengthy lifespan of several thousand years.

The Fire Sacrifice Skill combined with the cultivation technique greatly benefited Li Jiye during this time, transforming him, and bestowing endless potential.

The incense fire power of the emperor position even felt somewhat insufficient to him.

At this moment, both the father and son understood that breaking mountains and attacking temples was imminent. They must quickly consolidate incense across the world and organize everything thoroughly so that when crossing realms back to Earth, they would have the strength to handle various crises.

"Your Majesty, this concubine pays respects."

At this moment, a stately woman in palace attire slowly entered the emperor’s chamber.

Li Jiye was sitting cross-legged on a purple divine stone, his vertical pupils slightly moved as he looked at the visitor: "Princess Consort De, have you found out everything?"

"Everything is as Your Majesty suspected. The Yin Emperor sensed an unusual aura and decided to kill Master Taiyi," Princess Consort De said slowly: "The reason is simple, ’ancestral incense cannot be given to others.’ During the court meeting in ten days, the Hidden Official will surely pressure Your Majesty to strip Master Taiyi of the state preceptor title and execute him immediately."

Li Jiye sneered: "What ’ancestral incense cannot be given to others’? If that were the case, no incense fire gods would be appointed worldwide, and only the Yin Emperor should enjoy incense offerings. The reason for wanting to kill Master Taiyi is nothing more than because these old things feel threatened; a Daoist cultivating with incense could potentially shake the foundation of incense fire gods in the world."

"But those old things aren’t completely wrong. I do indeed plan to do just that. Princess Consort De, how’s the Jinyi Guard’s situation?"

"Three thousand Jinyi Guards have been assembled, all elite, and horses, provisions, weapons, and armor are all ready, just waiting for Your Majesty’s order," Princess Consort De said.

Li Jiye’s expression softened a bit: "Very good, three days from now, send the Golden Eyes Guard to Wuji Palace to deliver a message and have Master Taiyi lead the three thousand Jinyi Guards out of the capital, heading from north to south, to begin the path of breaking mountains and attacking temples. I will have Lord Black Mountain and the Golden-eyed Guard Flower Girl assist. During this time, you only need to handle your part well."

"If things change, I’ve found an escape route for you. Follow Master Taiyi; he will ensure your safety."

"This concubine’s life is only loyal to Your Majesty. If this matter fails, as planned, Your Majesty may execute this concubine to quell public anger." After speaking, Princess Consort De knelt down, and behind her, a furry white tail emerged from the palace skirt.

This was a fox tail.

And this Princess Consort De was evidently a Fox Girl who, having just been bestowed a title and enjoyed incense, now possessed profound cultivation, unparalleled by ordinary standards.

Li Jiye’s gaze shifted slightly. Indeed, as planned, if the breaking mountains and attacking temples plan failed and the ministers grew furious, he intended to use Princess Consort De’s identity as a Fox Girl as a pretext, accusing her of ensnaring the nation and publicly executing her to quell public anger and maintain power.

Though such actions were cold-blooded and heartless, that was the nature of an emperor.

But things are different now.

He has a son, Yi, and a future. There is no need to sacrifice an innocent Fox Girl.

Thus, at the moment of failure, still, Princess Consort De must be protected.
