I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 672: Seizing the Body (asking for monthly tickets)

Kundi Palace.

In the center of the desolate and solemn underground palace, eight ancient altars of different styles rose from the ground, surrounding the bottomless abyss in the center, where ghostly blue flames leaped, like stars surrounding the moon.

The altar of the Kun Emperor's ceremonial regalia was the most imposing, constructed from a single piece of dark yellow stone. Shen Puning was imprisoned within it, her body bound by earthen-yellow rune chains.

The altar of the Dan Emperor was carved from a single piece of crimson fire jade. The heat distorted the air, and Bai Shengjie, standing in it, was pale.

The altar of the Yan Emperor was made up of countless intricate metal gears and mechanical parts, emitting a deep, mechanical sound. Mo Ling was bound to the core, and fragments of the mechanical armor floated helplessly around her.

The Ghost Emperor's altar was the most sinister, resembling a giant white bone claw cage, swirling with chilling ghostly energy, binding the Flower Rakshasa within.

The Insect Emperor's altar was covered with honeycomb-like holes, from which countless tiny poisonous insects crawled and writhed, emitting a nauseatingly sweet and pungent odor. Shang Shixu was trapped inside, his eyes tightly closed and his face ashen.

The Demon Emperor's altar exuded a primitive and wild aura, woven from the bones of giant beasts and strange vines. The dark golden demon-controlling ring around Zhao Cangyun's neck shone brightly. He glared angrily, trying to struggle, but was tightly bound by the vines.

The altar of the Talisman Emperor was the most mysterious, with countless jade talismans shimmering with spiritual light arranged according to the trajectory of stars. Yan Kongqing stood expressionless in the center, as if he were an empty shell.

Each 'container' had its cultivation level forcibly elevated to the realm of Refining Spirit and Transforming Emptiness, resulting in a vast but unstable aura.

When this moment truly arrived, everyone's face showed an undisguised fear, except... Jiang Yi!
"Hmph, facing certain death, yet sleeping soundly!"

In the center of the altar of the Qin Emperor, which was made of white jade and inlaid with zither strings, Jiang Yi lay on her side with her head on her arm, breathing evenly and long. More than ten days had passed since she was formed into a Yang God, and she had been in a deep sleep.

Emperor Qin Xiao Tianyin's face was cold and gloomy as he looked down at his feet.

The Azure Emperor, dressed in an azure imperial robe, remained calm and detached, saying, "It doesn't matter; sleep and wakefulness are no different at this moment."

After speaking, the Azure Emperor suddenly burst forth with dazzling azure light. His figure quickly became blurred in the azure light, and the entire mass of azure light continued to condense inward, eventually transforming into a azure seed the size of a date pit.

The seed hovered for a moment, then transformed into a condensed stream of azure light, silently disappearing into Jiang Yi's Baihui acupoint on the top of his head.

Jiang Yi, who was fast asleep, suddenly sat up straight, as if she had been hit hard by an invisible giant hammer. Her eyes opened abruptly, but her pupils were a blurry blue, showing no signs of wakefulness. Her body was instinctively enduring immense pain.

Jiang Yi couldn't help but groan, her body convulsing violently. Beneath her fair skin, countless emerald green blood vessels writhed wildly like living creatures.

These green lines seemed to be drawing on her life force, or like vines and seeds forcibly taking root in her body, frantically converging from her limbs and internal organs towards her brow.

Finally, all the green threads solidified at the center of her forehead, transforming into a deep blue seed mark resembling ancient tree patterns.

The moment the mark was formed, Jiang Yi's tense body suddenly relaxed, and she gasped for breath, supporting herself with her hands on the ground.

The Qin Emperor's icy hand pressed down on Jiang Yi's head, and his incomparably powerful divine sense invaded Jiang Yi's sea of ​​consciousness without reservation to examine it carefully.

A moment later, the Qin Emperor withdrew his hand, a satisfied look on his face.

The Qin Emperor nodded slightly to the Kun Emperor Fangyi on the main altar, indicating that the Qing Emperor's parasitism was successful and stable, and there were no abnormalities.

Emperor Kun Fangyi looked around and glanced at the other emperors.

"Everyone! The moment when the stars return to their rightful place is approaching. Success or failure hinges on this moment. Let us work together with one heart and one mind to embark on the path to immortality!"

Emperor Kun looked up at the sky, and the dome of the underground palace slowly cracked open to both sides with a deafening roar. The falling rubble was pulled aside by an invisible force, avoiding everyone below.

A moment later, the vast and boundless starry sky was revealed before everyone's eyes, with countless stars twinkling and their trajectories slowly moving in a mysterious and indescribable way, about to reach a crucial position.

A cool yet boundless stellar power, like a celestial river flowing backward, enveloped the entire altar area, reflecting the eerie light of the Xuanwu Heart Fire in the abyss. Jiang Yi and the others all keenly sensed that a vast amount of Xuanling Qi was overflowing from the abyss, shrouding the entire underground palace in a gray-white mist. "Let's begin!"

The Kun Emperor transformed into a thick, dark yellow aura, rushing straight towards Shen Puning in the center of the altar.

The Dan Emperor was engulfed in a divine fire that could incinerate all things, which then enveloped Bai Shengjie.

Emperor Yan's body disintegrated into countless intricate parts, which rose up and enveloped Mo Ling from beneath her feet.

The Ghost Emperor transformed into a chilling aura carrying the wails of countless ghosts, instantly enveloping the Flower Rakshasa.

The Insect Emperor's body dissipated into a cloud of poisonous insects emitting an eerie phosphorescent glow, enveloping Shang Shixu.

The Demon Emperor let out a long roar, revealing a ferocious phantom form covered in demonic patterns and beast scales, and pounced towards Zhao Cangyun.

The Talisman Emperor transformed into a golden torrent composed of countless runes, rushing towards Yan Kongqing.

The Qin Emperor's eyes sharpened, and bursts of zither music appeared around him. The sound waves transformed into strong zither strings, rushing into Jiang's sea of ​​consciousness and binding her fragile Yang spirit tightly.

The process of possession occurs within each person's sea of ​​consciousness, and they can only resist it on their own. As long as the Nine Emperors fail to possess them, they can severely injure them and thus gain the opportunity to completely annihilate them.

Jiang Yi had just endured the excruciating pain of the Azure Emperor's Wood Parasitic Technique. Although her Yang Spirit had been formed, it was extremely weak, and her consciousness was violently struggling on the edge of sleep and wakefulness.

The Qin Emperor's evil spirit was powerful and cold, easily tearing apart the defense hastily constructed by Jiang Yi's weak Yang spirit. The invisible strings of the zither were like the sharpest soul blades, deeply cutting into the neck of Jiang Yi's Yang spirit, forcing her to watch helplessly as the black evil spirit invaded the space between her eyebrows.

"Save your energy, obediently become my vessel, that's your only value!"

Jiang Yi's Yang Spirit struggled painfully under the cutting of the strings and the impact of the music. The parasitic seed of the Azure Emperor flickered with a ghostly light at the center of her brow, cooperating with the Qin Emperor's erosion to draw on her original power, making it even more difficult for her to gather the power to resist.

She felt like a flying insect wrapped in layers of spider webs, her consciousness being frozen by the empty, cold piano music, and her will belonging to 'Jiang Yi' was being devoured.

The power he had accumulated during his slumber was as fragile as paper before the Qin Emperor.

Jiang Yi's Yang God's light dimmed rapidly, like a candle flickering in the wind.

Just then, a faint but warm glimmer of light stubbornly flickered deep within her Yang Spirit.

That was... the incense offerings that gathered from those she helped when they were grateful, as she traveled the mortal world, exorcising demons, protecting the righteous, and helping the needy!
These forces, as faint as dust and as scattered as stardust, gradually integrated into Jiang Yi's Dao heart during her three hundred years of cultivation.

This tiny glimmer of light made Jiang Yi realize the existence of her own benevolent self!

The power of incense instantly ignited at the core of Jiang Yiyang's spirit, and the golden light of the spirit instantly changed from dim to dazzling, like a rising sun suddenly piercing through the endless cold night.

One by one, the strings of the zither that had been piercing the Yang God snapped. The evil soul power that the Zither Emperor had invaded the sea of ​​consciousness was like encountering its nemesis, burning and sizzling as it rapidly dissolved.

Jiang Yi's initial prediction was correct: the power of the benevolent body is the nemesis of the evil body!
This is all thanks to Hong Li. Over the years, she has done a lot of good deeds at Xuandu Temple and accumulated a lot of incense power. Even now, Hong Li, who is sleeping in her dantian, is trying to transfer her share of incense power to Jiang Yi.

"Offering incense and accumulating merit? I never expected that you, an ant, would harbor such methods. I underestimated you!"

The Qin Emperor's voice remained cold, yet she showed no sign of panic. She forcefully stabilized the turbulent evil spirits, and an even greater force, like a monstrous wave, pressed down once more.

"This little bit of incense offering is hardly enough for me! It's nothing more than the embers of a dying ember!"
