After the Skyfall

Chapter 585 Colorful Body
With the failure of the world's masters in their campaign against Master Taiyi, the official canonization by the court, coupled with the ongoing campaign to destroy mountains and temples, and the erection of temples and statues of Master Taiyi in various places, Li Yi not only gathered the power of incense and faith again, but this power was more than ten times stronger than before.

The tremendous power of incense continuously gathered to himself from all over the world, and as time passed, this power continued to rise, as if there was no end.

At this moment, Li Yi felt for the first time how wonderful it was to enjoy the incense from all over the world. It seemed that there was nothing in the world that he could not do.

The first to benefit from this huge power of incense was the soul seed in Li Yi's body.

At this moment, the flower of the soul bloomed again. In just a moment, it opened into twenty-four petals, and a soul was born. Then the soul grew from small to large, from virtual to real, and evolved into a Taoist nun wearing a Taoist robe and with the scent of incense all over her body.

"The power of incense is easy to come by, but it also goes away easily. My soul was revived by the power of incense before, but once it was lost, it returned to its original form and fell silent again. Now it has revived again, but this time it is more thorough than before, and it makes me feel like I am back to my peak."

At this moment, Xiang Xiangzi's soul appeared beside Li Yi. She looked at her own body and felt a sense of unreality.

At this moment, Li Yi is leading three thousand Jinyiwei to break through mountains and destroy temples. At this moment, he is sitting cross-legged on a golden auspicious cloud in mid-air, breathing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, collecting incense from all over the world, and starting his transformation again.

"Fairy, if that's the case, why don't you stay in this world and receive the power of incense from this world on my behalf, then use the false to cultivate the true, and return to the Three Flowers Realm. Maybe you can reach a higher level in the future. After all, I will leave here after a while."

He now opened his mouth and gave a suggestion.

Xiang Xiangzi's eyes turned: "It is indeed a good idea. You and I are one soul. Staying in this world can indeed help you receive the power of incense. Moreover, with the help of this power, I can fully recover in no time, and even be stronger than before. It's just..."

"Just what?" Li Yi asked.

Xiang Xiangzi's incense body surrounded her. She said with a smile, "It's just that Taiyi's cultivation is very difficult. If I don't accompany you all the way, it will be so lonely. Besides, my Yuanshen Flower can be of great help to you, Taiyi. It can help you quickly pass the Five Qi Realm and comprehend various wonderful methods."

Li Yi said: "The Fairy Lady's Yuanshen Flower has indeed helped me a lot, but I can't miss the opportunity to revive the Fairy Lady because of this. Besides, hasn't the Fairy Lady been around during this period? Why not just teach me the rest of the Taoist comprehension, and let me leave without distraction."

"Taiyi's words do make sense." Xiang Xiangzi said faintly, "But after crossing the boundary, I don't know when we can meet again."

"When the fairy lady succeeds in cultivating the true self through falsehood and recovers the Three Flowers Realm, I will definitely come across the boundary and bring the fairy lady back to Earth, or even back to the world of cultivation. It depends on what the fairy lady chooses." Li Yi said.

"Why should I go back to that lifeless world of cultivation? I don't know how many junior sisters and brothers died in front of me over the years. Earth is quite interesting, but none of them can compare to the freedom I get from following Taiyi." Xiang Xiangzi sighed.

"But once I leave this world and lose my source of incense, I will probably fall into deep sleep again and won't be able to help much. It is better for me to stay in this world."

Li Yi said nothing, but relied on the power of incense to swallow the energy of heaven and earth, open the acupoints in his body, and strive to pass the Five Qi Realm. At the very least, he had to open up the sixty major acupoints, otherwise once he left this world, he didn't know when they would be opened up again.

quite a while.

Xiang Xiangzi's incense spirit said again: "If that's the case, then I have to refine a statue of the god to use as a place for my spirit. Taiyi, I have to borrow something from you. I wonder if Taiyi is willing to give it up."

"If you like anything in my Five Elements Bracelet, just tell me."

Li Yi was also very generous. After all, Xiang Xiangzi saved his life, and some external things were not particularly important to him.

"I need a seven-colored stone. That seven-colored stone contains the five elements of yin and yang energy, and is made from the blood of a powerful creature. If I use it to reshape the statue, it may become spiritual over time and turn into a real flesh and blood body. If I'm lucky, I may be able to inherit the seven-colored bloodline of this creature."

Xiang Xiangzi licked her seductive lips slightly and said.

She has been strong all her life and has extraordinary talent. Now that she has come back to life and is practicing Taoism again, she is naturally unwilling to follow the old path. She also wants to try to practice the way of incense and stimulate the power of her blood to see if she can surpass the past and reach an unprecedented peak.

"Okay, then this colorful stone will be given to the fairy lady."

Li Yi said this and took out the strange object from the Five Elements Bracelet without saying anything else.

immediately.

Seven-colored lights shone all around, and amazing energy emanated from it.

"As big or small as you wish, change!"

Xiang Xiangzi immediately stretched out his finger and pointed, using Taoist magic.

She truly was a genius in Taoism. After learning the art of controlling size, she was able to do it with ease. With just one cast of the spell, the colorful stone in front of her, which was less than the size of a fist, immediately expanded. What was peculiar was that the colorful stone did not grow larger as a whole, but some parts grew larger while others shrank, gradually forming a colorful human-shaped stone statue.

"Can the Big and Small Ruyi Techniques be used like this?" Li Yi thought thoughtfully upon seeing this.

"It's easy to change size, but it's difficult to change according to one's own wishes. This top-notch Taoist method is not so easy to learn. It looks simple, but it's actually more difficult than my sect's technique of subduing dragons and tigers. Therefore, the essence of the technique of changing size does not lie in the size, but in accordance with one's own wishes." Xiang Xiangzi said.

soon.

The colorful humanoid stone statue had facial features. It was the appearance of a woman, mature and dignified, yet revealing a little bit of charm, and lifelike, like a living person, but the skin was still colorful, not the skin of an ordinary woman. "Although the size of the colorful stone has changed, the energy it emits is still the same as before, and has not changed." Li Yi said.

“After mastering this magic, even the energy of rare objects can be enlarged. However, the magic power required is enormous. Even if I recover to my peak strength, it is difficult to truly enlarge this colorful stone. It’s not that the Taoism is not sophisticated enough, but the magic power provided by a magic flower is simply not enough.” Xiang Xiangzi shook his head slightly.

"Perhaps, Taiyi, when your magical power blossoms in the future, you will be able to bring this method to an unprecedented new height."

Li Yi nodded slightly.

After Xiang Xiangzi finished speaking, the body of Xiang Huo suddenly disintegrated and turned into rays of soul light that penetrated into the colorful body in front of him.

As the soul returns to its place, the power of incense gathers.

The goddess statue made of colorful stone slowly opened its eyes and began to wake up. At the same time, the colorful light on its body began to disappear and gradually turned into snow-white skin. Although it had no breathing or heartbeat, it looked somewhat human.

"It will take some time to nurture it, and with the help of the power of incense, I can turn the fake into the real, so that it can become a real flesh and blood body, a seven-colored Taoist body."

Xiang Xiangzi moved her body at this moment. It was indeed very stiff, like a puppet. But she was not angry. Instead, she looked at her body happily.

She could feel the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the energy of the universe rushing towards her madly. The power of incense and the seven-colored magic stone combined to produce some kind of qualitative change, allowing her to possess tremendous power just by having her soul enter the body. It was as if she had recovered to her peak, and dragon and tiger magic power burst out with every move she made.

This power is fascinating and unreal.

While Xiang Xiangzi was getting familiar with his new body, Li Yi also used the power of the incense and faith to open up the 60th acupoint in a short period of time.

Although his realm is still at the third level of the Five Qi Realm, his potential has already reached the great perfection of the Five Qi Realm. But if he uses the power of incense to perform Taoist magic, he is confident that he can fight with the masters of the Three Flower Realm.

"Master, the mountain ahead is Anshan, the imperial tomb of a Yin Emperor. Should we disturb the late emperor?"

At this time, a golden-eyed guard named Huanv flew into the sky. She landed on the golden auspicious cloud and immediately respectfully reported the current situation to Li Yi.

"Imperial Mausoleum?"

Li Yi looked up and saw a lush and green mountain with the scent of incense condensing above it, like an emperor's canopy covering the top of the mountain, which lasted for a long time. In addition, there were faint figures of dragons and tigers condensing, which already had the aura of an emperor.

Moreover, this force has been condensed for a long time, permeating the entire mountain. The whole mountain seems to have a spirit. It looks ordinary, but in fact it reveals danger and murderous intent.

This murderous intent is not directed at ordinary people, but only at powerful practitioners or incense gods.

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

The golden-eyed guard Hua Nu said immediately, "It is the imperial mausoleum of Emperor Shenzong."

"Shenzong? Please tell me in detail." Li Yi asked. He didn't know the title of the emperor in this world.

"Emperor Shenzong was the sixth emperor of the Zhao Dynasty. He loved to cultivate immortality and seek the truth. He wanted to achieve godhood with the body of an emperor, but it seemed that he failed for some reason. Therefore, after his death, he was named Shenzong and buried in Anshan to enjoy the incense of the country." The golden-eyed guard Hua Nu continued: "After Emperor Shenzong became a god after his death, he has been practicing in Anshan and rarely shows up. Even the hidden officials have difficulty contacting him."

"An emperor who is devoted to spiritual practice? Forget it, let him go, bypass Anshan, and continue to go to other places to destroy mountains and temples." Li Yi said.

The problems of the Yin Emperors of all generations are very special. To deal with them, you should wait for your father to make arrangements. As long as the other party does not take the initiative to stop your actions, it will be fine.

"Yes, sir." After receiving the order, the golden-eyed guard Huanu left quickly.

Li Yi also rode on the golden auspicious cloud, gradually bypassing Anshan and slowly floating towards the front.

However, he wanted to let this Emperor Yin go, but this Emperor Yin didn't seem to want to let Li Yi go.

When Li Yi was about to leave, he saw a column of light invisible to mortals rising into the sky above Anshan, and it shone in harmony with the incense canopy above the mountain. It was like a bright sun rising into the sky, but it also carried a thick underground yin energy. The surrounding celestial phenomena immediately changed dramatically.

The sky was clear one moment and dark clouds and thunder the next.

It was as if the emperor who had been sleeping for a long time was awakened at this moment, and was about to descend upon this world with anger.

"Ok?"

Li Yi's expression changed, the golden auspicious clouds under his feet stopped, and then he looked in the direction of Anshan.
