Chapter 812: Chapter 592: The Emperor’s Distant Escape

In the Imperial Palace.

Li Jiye and the other five Yin Emperors were all looking up at the sky at this moment. There, terrifying energy from heaven and earth exploded, with incense drifting in all directions, and occasionally deafening booms were heard, as if the sky itself was about to be shattered.

This battle seemed simple, but it concerned the future direction of the Zhao Dynasty.

If this Grand Ancestor Emperor won, then Emperor Shenwu would face reckoning, and the world would return to its previous state. But if he lost, from now on, the Yin Emperors would become a part of history, and this world would be dictated by Emperor Shenwu alone.

All the incense of the world would also belong to one person.

However, Li Jiye’s thoughts at the moment were very simple. If Yi was outmatched, and one wrong move was made, then he wouldn’t just sit and wait for death. Naturally, he would use all his strength to battle these Yin Emperors.

And he was confident he could win, after all, he had no retreat left.

But since Yi was willing to gamble with the Grand Ancestor Emperor, that was also a good thing. If he could win, it would make these Yin Emperors disappear without a fight, saving the effort of starting a new war.

Because of this, both sides agreed to this scheme.

However, very soon.

As the rumbling sound above the firmament reverberated, a wisp of green smoke plummeted directly toward the direction of the palace.

Boom!

This wisp of green smoke seemed light and whimsical, yet it landed with the weight of a thousand catties, immediately creating a large crater in front of Yongchang Hall, kicking up a cloud of dust. And when the dust settled, a man covered in cracks, appearing severely injured, was revealed.

"Grand Ancestor Emperor."

The other five Yin Emperors hurriedly flew over to investigate the situation.

"Grand Ancestor, how is the situation? Has Master Taiyi been subdued?" Emperor Yingzong asked another question.

At this moment, Grand Ancestor Emperor Zhao Tianxing’s face was gloomy. Ignoring the cracks on his body, he struggled to stand up, glanced at the not far Emperor Shenwu, and said, "What a junior, you truly found an extraordinary expert, this contest, I lost. From now on, we Yin Emperors will reside in Dragon City forever, never to venture out again."

"You also need to relinquish the title of Emperor." Emperor Shenwu Li Jiye said with eyes slightly narrowed.

"Fine, as you wish." After saying this, Grand Ancestor Emperor Zhao Tianxing spoke no more, immediately transforming into a wisp of green smoke and flying out of the palace.

He knew that if he did not leave now, it would be difficult for him to get out of here today.

The other five Yin Emperors also quickly reacted, not daring to stay here any longer, and immediately transformed into green smoke and left.

Even the Grand Ancestor Emperor could not defeat Master Taiyi, they no longer had the capital for negotiations. Whatever the other party said, they had to comply, and they could no longer stay in the capital, otherwise when Master Taiyi looked back to settle the account, they would be inescapable.

Returning to Dragon City was at least a way to survive.

Seeing these fleeing Yin Emperors, Emperor Shenwu Li Jiye couldn’t help but laugh.

He knew that once this battle was over, the world would truly be settled. The demolition of mountains and temples would also be completely and perfectly finished, and from now on, he could cultivate the Jinyi Guard and Golden Eyes Guard without restraint, free from fetters.

At this moment.

Li Yi also descended slowly from the sky, stepping on a golden cloud. He was completely unscathed, although the previous aftershock waves were somewhat dangerous, but with the armor of a Daoist Artifact level, blocking such damage was not a problem.

This is the advantage of having many treasures, it allows him to be more composed when facing danger.

"Thanks to you this time, otherwise I fear another fierce battle would have arisen." At this moment, Emperor Shenwu Li Jiye looked at Li Yi and said with great satisfaction.

However, even now, their identities still cannot be exposed.

Only when this world is completely under control, can Li Jiye do what he wants to do.

"The retreat of the Yin Emperors to Dragon City is a hidden trouble after all." Li Yi said, looking at the direction from which those Yin Emperors left: "Once the incense of the world unites and the overall situation is settled, it’s not too late to settle accounts in the fall."

"I think so too; after all, they are the ancestors of the Zhao Dynasty." Li Jiye said: "But this matter is not urgent, it needs to be planned slowly. However, from today onwards, this heaven and earth have already been included in our grasp."

"In the future, I will share the world with Master Taiyi." He then said in the identity of Emperor Shenwu.

These words are to be recorded, and in a few days, they will spread throughout the world.

Li Yi just smiled: "I have stayed in this world long enough, now the situation is settled, I will leave in a few days, the incense and belief power here is good, but it also has shortcomings, I cannot cultivate here for a long time."

The downside of practicing multiple laws is that the resources of one world cannot meet his needs.

There is a lot of incense here, but little Qi-Blood, staying too long will strengthen the soul, but the body will become weak.

"Cross-dimensional travel, huh?" Li Jiye contemplated for a moment.

He also had the urge to leave cross-dimensionally, but he also needed this world as his foundation, otherwise, when he returned to Earth, lacking strength, he would still be constrained everywhere. Only by quickly converting the incense and belief power of this world into his own strength could he freely cross dimensions.

"When do you plan to leave cross-dimensionally?" He then asked.

Li Yi said: "In ten days, because I still need to prepare a bit and also make sure there is no worry in the world. But before I leave, I will have Immortal Xiang Xiangzi stay here as the State Preceptor in my place to accept the incense and belief power."

"Xiang Xiangzi? I see." Li Jiye nodded slightly.

He had seen this Xiang Xiangzi before, an extraordinary woman from the End of Dharma Cultivation World, herself a master of the Tri-Floral Realm, who perished in a great battle, her Primordial Spirit subsequently turned into a seed to be housed within Li Yi. Due to the stimulation of the incense and belief power, her Primordial Spirit blossomed and revived.

Such a master, if he stays here as the State Preceptor, is undoubtedly the cornerstone of the nation, providing immense help to Li Jiye.

At the very least, he has a helper and won’t be isolated and without support.

Therefore, he greatly appreciates the decision made by Li Yi.

Moreover, it benefits Xiang Xiangzi as well, allowing her to nurture her Primordial Spirit, restore her realm and strength, and even take a uniquely different path in Cultivation using the Power of Incense and Belief.

However, the two did not dare talk too much.

This is in front of Yongchang Hall, with the Golden Eyes Guard nearby, as well as various officials watching. Naturally, matters involving some secrets couldn’t be spoken of aloud.

But very soon.

A Golden Eyes Guard came to report: "Your Majesty, just a moment ago, Grandmaster Zuo Han Yuan, the newly appointed Grand Commandant Wang Ji, and dozens of other Hidden Officials, along with civil and military officials have tendered their resignations."

"One Emperor, one courtier. With the defeat of the Yin Emperor, these officials dare not remain in the court." Upon hearing this, Li Yi immediately understood the situation.

Many of these officials were connected with the Yin Emperor, or even placed by him within the court.

Previously, when the Yin Emperor’s power was great, the new Emperor couldn’t do anything about these ministers, and even Li Jiye had to tolerate their presence.

Now, this situation will never exist again.

Emperor Shenwu, Li Jiye, had a subtle shift in his eyes and said sternly: "Not allowed, inform the Jinyi Guard to strictly monitor these resigning officials. Anyone who dares to leave the Capital is to be executed immediately."

You think you can leave now?

Too late.

These ministers have given me plenty of trouble before, and now it’s time to settle accounts.

If a batch of people isn’t killed, how can the Emperor’s authority be demonstrated, and how can the world be intimidated?

The Golden Eyes Guard, having received the order, quickly left.

Today is destined to be a bad day for many people.

Li Yi did not participate in these court affairs, but took this opportunity to return to Wuji Palace. He knew that his father would be very busy today, so he didn’t bother him. He only needed to wait silently for a few days, and a portion of the incense of the world would be his.

As soon as he returned to Wuji Palace.

He saw a graceful woman exuding a seven-colored divine light standing in front of the palace gates.

"Immortal, the great situation is already set, and you will be worry-free in the future." Seeing this, Li Yi smiled and said.

Xiang Xiangzi said: "I really wanted to take action and eliminate those Yin Emperors just now, but I held back in the end. Since they are willing to give up the incense, let them live for now. Taiyi, you are still not ruthless enough, not decisive enough. You need to learn more from me. The struggle on the Great Way is utterly cruel. For those like us in the Heavenly Dao Sect, taking a wrong step means eternal damnation."

Compared to Li Jiye and Li Yi, her tendency to kill was noticeably stronger.

"Enough, Immortal, now is not the time for lectures. I will cross realms soon. During this time, I ask you to comprehend a few more spells to further assist my strength," Li Yi said.

"You have already learned Cloud Riding, Dragon Subduing and Tiger Suppressing, and even mastered the Big and Small Ruyi Skill. The remaining spell is nothing but Flipping Rivers and Seas. I will learn this spell within ten days and then teach it to you."

At this moment, Xiang Xiangzi became serious.

Regarding Cultivation, she would not be careless.

"Then I must trouble you, Immortal." Li Yi gave a bow.

Having someone to comprehend spells for him is indeed good; otherwise, with his own aptitude, who knows how long it would take him to learn.

"Among these spells, the most important is the Big and Small Ruyi Skill. I will comprehend this spell again, and when the time comes, take as much as you can. When you return to Earth, remember to mention this incense matter to Xuan Yuezi." Xiang Xiangzi said.

"Three of our Heavenly Dao Sect Immortals were sacrificed to the Xuanhuang Seal. That bald one said the three Immortals might have a chance to be revived. If you can bring them to this realm and rely on the Power of Incense and Belief, they might come back to life."

Upon hearing this, Li Yi immediately said: "I have noted this down. I will talk to Immortal Xuan Yuezi when I return. If the other three Immortals can be revived and return, it will be an excellent piece of news."

Those who can be called Immortals have power that begins at the Tri-Floral Realm.

If they can be revived with the power of incense, then he will have three more Tri-Floral Realm masters by his side.

"This matter is of utmost importance, while other things are not significant. Taiyi, you handle them as you see fit. In any case, our lineage of Seven Immortals now regards you as the principal, so feel free to instruct whenever needed, no need for such courtesy." Xiang Xiangzi said.

Li Yi nodded again.

In the ensuing days, Xiang Xiangzi changed her usual frivolous behavior, focusing on Cultivation, and using the Power of Incense to reassess the Big and Small Ruyi and Flipping Rivers and Seas spells.

Li Yi, however, didn’t continue Cultivation.

Because of his severely lacking Qi-Blood, he couldn’t continue with Cultivation, so he focused on maintaining health and helping his father, Li Jiye, with trivial matters. But three days later.

He once again felt a magnificent power of incense gathering from all directions towards him, giving him the feeling of ascending as a god.

The emergence of this change meant the Yin Emperor had already given up the Emperor Title, voluntarily handing over a portion of his incense.
