Chapter 803: Chapter 584: The Rainbow Body

As the top experts in the world failed in their crusade against Master Taiyi, the court’s official decree came down. Coupled with the ongoing destruction of mountains and temples, and the erection of Master Taiyi’s temples and divine statues everywhere, Li Yi at this moment not only reunited the Power of Incense and Belief but also found this power to be at least ten times stronger than before.

The overwhelming power of incense continuously gathered from all over the world into himself, and as time passed, this power was still increasing incessantly, as if without end.

At this moment, Li Yi first experienced the wondrous feeling of enjoying the world’s incense, as if there was nothing under the heavens that he could not achieve.

The first to benefit from this vast power of incense was the Primordial Spirit Seed within Li Yi.

At this moment, the Primordial Spirit Flower blossomed once again. In just a moment, it spread out into twenty-four petals, and a Primordial Spirit was born. Then the spirit grew from small to large, transformed from illusory to real, evolving into a Taoist Nun clad in a Daoist robe, wrapped in incense energy.

"The power of incense indeed comes easy, and goes easy too. My Primordial Spirit once awakened by the power of incense reverted back to its original form after losing it, becoming dormant again. Now it has reawakened... only this time more thoroughly, making me feel as if I’ve returned to my peak days."

At this moment, Xiang Xiangzi’s Primordial Spirit appeared beside Li Yi, feeling an unreality as she gazed at her own body of incense.

Li Yi, accompanied by three thousand Jinyi Guards, went on a journey to destroy mountains and temples. He was seated in meditation above a golden Xiangyun, inhaling nature’s spiritual energy, absorbing the world’s incense. He began anew on the path of transformation.

"Immortal, since that’s the case, why not stay in this world, take my place in receiving this world’s power of incense, and then pretend to cultivate immortality, returning to the Tri-Floral Realm. In the future, you may even reach greater heights. After all, sooner or later, I will leave here."

He made a suggestion.

Xiang Xiangzi’s eyes turned: "It is indeed a good idea. Since you and I share the same Primordial Spirit, staying in this world can indeed help you receive the power of incense. Moreover, with this power, I can resume my cultivation and recover fully in no time, perhaps even stronger than before. However..."

"However what?" Li Yi asked.

Xiang Xiangzi’s body of incense swirled around. She smiled and said, "It’s just that Taiyi’s path of cultivation is so difficult. If I’m not there to accompany you, wouldn’t that be lonely? Besides, my Primordial Spirit Flower greatly aids Taiyi. I can help you quickly transcend the Five Qi Realm and comprehend various wondrous abilities."

Li Yi said, "The Primordial Spirit Flower of the Immortal has indeed helped me a lot, but I can’t miss the chance for the Immortal’s revival. Besides, isn’t the Immortal still by my side during this time? Simply comprehend and pass the remaining Daoist skills to me, allowing me to leave without distraction."

"Tai Yi’s words are indeed reasonable." Xiang Xiangzi sighed softly, "But after crossing realms, who knows when we might meet again."

"When the Immortal succeeds in pretending to cultivate immortality and returns to the Tri-Floral Realm, I will certainly cross realms to bring the Immortal back to Earth. Or even return to the Cultivation World, depending on what the Immortal prefers," Li Yi said.

"Why would anyone want to return to that lifeless Cultivation World? So many juniors died right before my eyes in those years. Earth, on the other hand, holds some charm—not as free as following Taiyi though," Xiang Xiangzi lamented.

"Yet once I leave this world and cut off the source of incense, I might fall asleep again, unable to help much. Staying in this world is indeed preferable."

Li Yi remained silent, using the power of incense to devour the Heaven and Earth Qi, opening the acupoints within his body, striving to pass the barrier of the Five Qi Realm. At the very least, he needed to open up sixty acupoints; otherwise, once leaving this world, who knows how long it would take.

A moment later.

Xiang Xiangzi’s incense Primordial Spirit spoke again: "If that’s the case, I have to create a divine statue as a vessel for the Primordial Spirit. Taiyi, I need to borrow something from you, though I wonder if Taiyi will be reluctant."

"Whatever the Immortal fancies in my Five Elements Bracelet, just speak up."

Li Yi was generous, after all, Xiang Xiangzi had saved his life, and external items were not particularly significant to him.

"I need the Seven-Colored Stone, that Seven-Colored Stone, which contains the yin and yang energy of the Five Elements, is formed from the blood of a powerful living being. If it is used to reshape the divine statue, it might become truly intelligent over time, possibly transforming into a real body of flesh and blood, or even inherit the Seven-Colored Bloodline of this creature if luck favors us."

Xiang Xiangzi licked her enticing lips slightly as she spoke.

She was strong all her life, exceptionally talented, and now that she was reborn and re-cultivating the Daoist arts, she was naturally unwilling to walk the old path again. She wanted to dual-cultivate the Fire Sacrifice Skill, stimulating the bloodline power to see if she could surpass her previous peak.

"Alright, then I will gift this Seven-Colored Stone to the Immortal."

Li Yi said, without hesitation, he retrieved the miracle from the Five Elements Bracelet.

Immediately.

A seven-colored light shone brightly around, emitting incredible energy.

"Big and Small Ruyi, change!"

Xiang Xiangzi immediately pointed her finger to cast a Daoist skill.

She truly lived up to her talent in Daoist arts, having mastered the Big and Small Ruyi Skill, which she handled with ease. Just one casting of the skill, and the small Seven-Colored Stone, not larger than a fist, rapidly expanded. The remarkable aspect was that the Seven-Colored Stone did not grow uniformly but instead expanded in some areas and contracted in others, gradually forming a seven-colored human-shaped stone statue.

"So the Big and Small Ruyi Skill can be used in this way?" Li Yi mused upon seeing this.

"It’s easy to change size, but changing according to one’s will is much harder. This top-notch Daoist skill isn’t easily learned. Although seemingly simple, in actuality, it is even harder than my sect’s Dragon-Subduing and Tiger-Suppressing Skill. So, the essence of the Big and Small Ruyi Skill does not lie in the size but in the alignment of will," Xiang Xiangzi explained.

Very soon.

The seven-colored human-shaped stone statue developed facial features resembling a woman’s visage. Mature and dignified, it lightly exuded a touch of seductive charm, vivid as if alive, except its skin retained a seven-colored hue, unlike a normal woman’s skin.

"Although the Seven-Colored Stone’s size has changed, the energy it emits remains as before, unchanged," Li Yi said.

"Upon perfecting this spell, even the energy of miracles can expand, yet the required mana is immense. Even at my peak strength, it would be difficult to truly enlarge this Seven-Colored Stone. It’s not that the Daoist skill lacks intricacy, but a single Mana Flower’s power is insufficient," Xiang Xiangzi shook her head gently.

"Perhaps, Taiyi, when your Mana Flower blooms in the future, you can elevate this Daoist skill to an unprecedented new height."

Li Yi nodded slightly.

After Xiang Xiangzi spoke, her incense-powered body suddenly disintegrated, transforming into streaks of Primordial Spirit Light that entered the seven-colored body before her.

As the Primordial Spirit settled, the Power of Incense condensed.

The divine woman statue formed by the Seven-Colored Stone slowly opened its eyes, awakening, as the seven-colored radiance began to obscure, gradually turning into snow-white skin, though without breath or pulse, somewhat appeared human-like.

"It still needs a period of nurturing, using the Power of Incense to turn the false into the real, to become a true flesh-and-blood body, a seven-colored Tao Body."

At this moment, Xiang Xiangzi moved her body a bit, indeed very stiff, like a marionette, but she was not annoyed, rather happily examining her body.

She could perceive nature’s spiritual energy, cosmic energy rushing wildly towards her, the Power of Incense and the Seven-Colored Divine Stone merged, producing a certain qualitative change, enabling her just by settling her Primordial Spirit to possess great might, seemingly restored to her peak, every motion releasing Dragon and Tiger Power.

This strength was fascinating and made one feel unreal.

While Xiang Xiangzi was familiarizing herself with the new body, Li Yi at this moment also utilized this power of incense and faith to open the sixtieth acupoint in a short time.

Although his realm was still at the third level of the Five Qi Realm, his potential had reached the Great Perfection of the Five Qi Realm; but if he wielded Daoist skill aided by this incense power, he was confident to compete with experts of the Tri-Floral Realm.

"True Man, ahead is An Mountain, the site of a Yin Emperor’s imperial mausoleum. Shall we disturb the late emperor?"

At this moment, a Golden-eyed Guard named Flower Girl flew over, landing on the golden Xiangyun, immediately reporting to Li Yi respectfully the current situation.

"Imperial mausoleum?"

Li Yi looked up, seeing a lush great mountain, incense fire energy gathered upon it like an emperor’s canopy enveloping the summit, lingering for ages, and vaguely forms of dragons and tigers were condensing, an emperor’s aura taking shape.

Moreover, this power had been converging for long, permeating the whole mountain, making it seem alive, seemingly ordinary yet exuding fatal danger and killing intent.

This killing intent did not target ordinary people, only aimed at powerful cultivators, or an Incense Fire God.

"Which emperor’s tomb is that?" Li Yi asked.

The Golden-eyed Guard Flower Girl immediately replied, "This is the divine tomb of the Divine Sect Emperor."

"Divine Sect? Explain further," Li Yi asked, unfamiliar with the emperor titles in this world.

"The Divine Sect Emperor was the sixth emperor of the Zhao Dynasty, fond of cultivating immortality during life, seeking to achieve godhood with the emperor’s body, yet seemed to fail due to certain reasons, hence posthumously named the Divine Sect, buried at An Mountain, enjoying the national fate incense fire." The Golden-eyed Guard Flower Girl continued, "Since becoming a deity posthumously, the Divine Sect Emperor remained focused on cultivation at An Mountain, rarely appearing, even the Hidden Official couldn’t easily contact."

"An emperor wholly devoted to cultivation? Forget it, let him be, bypass An Mountain, continue to ravage other mountain temples," Li Yi said.

Problems concerning generational Yin Emperors are unique, handling it is for my father to arrange, as long as they do not actively impede my actions, it is fine.

"Yes, True Man." The Golden-eyed Guard Flower Girl obeyed and swiftly departed.

Li Yi also rode the golden Xiangyun gradually bypassing An Mountain, drifting forward slowly.

However, he wished to spare the Yin Emperor, yet the Yin Emperor seemed unwilling to let Li Yi go.

As Li Yi prepared to leave, an invisible to mortals light column rose from An Mountain, complementing the incense fire canopy over the mountain, like a grand sun rising, but carrying a rich underground yin energy, the celestial phenomena instantly exhibiting dramatic changes.

A moment ago, the sky was clear, the next, dense clouds gathered, thunder rumbled.

As if the long-slumbering emperor was disturbed, waking with fury ready to descend upon this world.

"Hmm?"

Li Yi’s expression shifted, the golden Xiangyun underfoot halted, then looked towards An Mountain’s direction.
