Chapter 1198: Chapter 1198
Li Yi was still within the secret realm of the World Boat, and the matter surrounding the Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon was already brewing. You can imagine that once he appears, there will inevitably be numerous troubles.
Divine Might Heavenly King also sensed this, which is why he immediately fled far from the Third Layer Heaven, directly returning to the Heavenly God Country.
But the external dangers can be avoided, the internal troubles must be solved by Li Yi himself.
"Taiyi probably also realized that for a Heavenly General to wield the Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon is quite difficult, so he wants to use the Time Emperor Furnace to cultivate during this period, allowing himself to break through to the Heavenly King Realm."
Divine Might Heavenly King said: "As long as he can truly break through the realm, then even if other Royal Family Heavenly Kings intervene, they will likely have to weigh their strength. At that time, with Emperor Haoguang’s protection, there will be no objections to him wielding the Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon."
"Breaking through to the Heavenly King Realm is difficult; to accomplish this, he must open all three hundred sixty-five skillful gates during the voyage of the World Boat, only then can he step into the Heavenly King Realm."
Cold Mountain Heavenly King said: "But the skillful gates become harder to open as you go forward. We have all traveled this road and deeply understand its hardships."
"There’s got to be a try, isn’t there?" Divine Might Heavenly King said: "But don’t worry, whether Taiyi can wield the Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon, at least he is safe and will receive commendations and compensation. If it were outside, it would be perilous; with you and your ten Divine Generals under your command, it’s doubtful you could survive out of the Third Layer Heaven."
"A single Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon is enough to make many ambitious Heavenly Kings fight desperately. Sometimes you have to accept reality; after all, everything in the Heavenly Realm depends on strength. When Taiyi is strong enough, he can naturally find ways to reclaim the Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon from the direct lineage of the Royal Family, as per the Royal Family’s rules."
"Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. In the meantime, you should research the Heavenly King Puppets. If you can master ten Heavenly King Puppets and spend some money equipping them with armor and soldiers, you will have few rivals in the Heavenly Realm. The legacy of Emperor Hua Qing is truly impressive."
Divine Might Heavenly King finished speaking, shook his head, and then turned to leave.
Cold Mountain Heavenly King thought it made sense.
He needed to protect Taiyi’s safety, and the only way to do so was to enhance his own strength. Although that battle injured his foundation, and his combat power declined, he acquired ten Heavenly King Puppets.
The combat power of the puppets is naturally inferior to the Heavenly Kings themselves, so they need the Heavenly King Armor and Heavenly King Soldiers to make up for the deficiency. Thus, even relying on quantity, it is a formidable combat power.
The secret realm once again swiftly returned to tranquility.
And as time passed day by day, the World Boat continued to sail rapidly toward the Heavenly God Country without stopping, because Divine Might Heavenly King believed that only by escorting Taiyi back to the country could ensure his safety.
If he were allowed to wander outside with the Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon, he would surely die miserably.
But during this period, Li Yi’s diligent cultivation yielded remarkable results.
His progress was rapid, having opened up two hundred skillful gates. Meanwhile, the Mana Flower and Life Flower bloomed again, and he was not far from Great Perfection.
His purple Divine Blood had now filled ninety-nine acupoints within but was stuck at the hundredth acupoint, as the Divine Blood struggled to continue and couldn’t advance further.
At this moment, Li Yi sensed the bottleneck of the Heavenly God Royal Family’s direct lineage.
The Circulation God Demon Skill mentioned that as long as the Heavenly God Royal Family Direct Lineage can open three hundred sixty-five skillful gates and fill them with Divine Blood, they can step into the Heavenly Emperor Realm.
But the Bloodline Power of each Royal Family Direct Lineage has its limits; someone like Li Yi who can fill ninety-nine acupoints is already considered brilliant.
After all, he is only at the Heavenly General Level.
"Unless I can break through to the Heavenly King Realm, otherwise at this level, my path has already reached its limit." Li Yi realized within his mind.
He must open all three hundred sixty-five skillful gates.
The reason for the entirety is because the three hundred sixty-five skillful gates represent the number of a circulation, resonating with the Great Dao. Only then can your Divine Power circulate within the body, endlessly trigger a qualitative change, and transform into your own Heavenly King’s Power.
But after opening two hundred skillful gates, Li Yi clearly felt his cultivation speed slow down.
The saying that opening skillful gates becomes harder as it progresses is indeed true; he needs a lot of time.
However, time is precisely what Li Yi lacks.
Meanwhile, in another place, Hua Qing continued to make rapid progress, nourishing his body with Nine Heavens Divine Water, both his flesh and soul were sublimated. At this moment, after rebuilding, he had recovered to the combat power of the Heavenly Soldier Level and had not stopped increasing; at this pace, Hua Qing re-cultivating to the Heavenly General seems feasible in the short term.
With this strength, he can also self-preserve in the Heavenly Realm. As long as he hides well, there wouldn’t be too much danger.
And Li Yi, finding his pace in opening skillful gates slowing down, decided to attempt to search for shortcuts.
He set his sights on the purple blood within his Five Elements Bracelet.
Hua Qing mentioned that this is the blood of a Heavenly Venerate-level creature, possessing an unimaginable Power of Creation. Since his cultivation is slow, borrowing some Heavenly Venerate Power might turn corruption into the miraculous.
Thinking of this, Li Yi resolutely unleashed the purple blood, transforming it into a large lake covering his entire body.
Upon emergence, the Yin Yang Qi within the Time Emperor Furnace instantly bubbled over.
Originally, only a little Yin Yang Qi was guided over, but now it seemed to have gone berserk, all rushing over in a frenzy, even causing the entire Time Emperor Furnace to shake.
"What’s happening?" Hua Qing was startled awake, but quickly sensed the familiar aura of purple blood, realizing: "That kid Li Yi actually unleashed so much purple blood, does he want to accelerate cultivation by borrowing Heavenly Venerate Power?"
"But why is the Time Emperor Furnace reacting so intensely?"
He was equally puzzled.
Because this Time Emperor Furnace was not something he created, but rather something he took from a Heavenly Emperor, along with that Heavenly Venerate Order. For these items, Hua Qing paid a huge price back in the day.
Despite studying it for many years later, Hua Qing still did not completely understand the Time Emperor Furnace, especially since he did not possess Heavenly Venerate Blood at the time, nor did he know what changes might occur by putting it into the Time Emperor Furnace.
"I don’t know if it’s good or bad, I just hope nothing goes wrong," Hua Qing thought to himself.
As the yin and yang energy condensed, Li Yi felt the mana within his body also being immersed by the yin and yang energy; one part of the energy in the Skillful Gate was cold and dark, while the other part was blazing and bright.
Meanwhile, the purple blood was also being refined by the Time Emperor Furnace, turning into more yin and yang energy.
However, Li Yi did not feel any pain; instead, there was a sense in the void that he should go with the flow and not resist this change.
The yin and yang energy emerged from the purple blood, carrying a very special power that entered his body, honing every inch of his skin.
Li Yi tried to continue developing the Skillful Gate and found it much easier. Under the yin and yang energy, possibilities were infinite; his body seemed like a new Emperor Furnace, constantly transforming itself.
"So, the Heavenly Venerate Blood must be used with the Time Emperor Furnace?" Li Yi suddenly had this thought in his mind for no apparent reason.
He planned to ask Hua Qing afterward to see if he understood this matter.
Hua Qing was also unaware of the enigma; the Time Emperor Furnace was something he had robbed, and he hadn’t figured it out before he died. Typically, he used the Time Emperor Furnace to refine Heavenly King Soldiers.
Because it contained yin and yang energy, the Heavenly King Soldiers he refined were of high quality. He also used the Time Emperor Furnace to create Heavenly King Puppets and many other oddities.
"What is that power refined from the purple blood?" Li Yi then noticed that his increased cultivation speed might not be credited to the yin and yang energy.
But rather the mysterious power within the purple blood.
That power was intangible yet extraordinary; whenever it appeared, Li Yi felt as though his wishes could come true. When opening skillful gates, as soon as this mysterious power emerged, they would immediately open.
Similarly, once a skillful gate was completed, that mysterious power would dissipate.
But as the Time Emperor Furnace continued refining purple blood, the mysterious power would be replenished once more.
"Could this be the Power of Creation?" Li Yi could only speculate.
Before, the Power of Creation was hidden within the purple blood, and though it helped him forge an unsurpassed foundation, he hadn’t understood how to use it; now, thanks to the Time Emperor Furnace, he could clearly feel the wonder of the Power of Creation.
To verify this hypothesis, Li Yi, with a thought, directly used a trace of the Power of Creation.
An intelligent phone suddenly appeared beside him.
"Is this possible?" Li Yi was astonished.
What is this ability?
Making wishes come true, creating something out of nothing?
This is even more exaggerated than the Power of Incense, no different from wishing, just consuming different amounts of the Power of Creation based on the size and difficulty of your wish.
Because it was just to create a small object, the Power of Creation consumed was very minimal. But if Li Yi directly created a True Dragon, or a Heavenly King Level True Dragon, the Power of Creation consumed would be enormous, very enormous.
However, Li Yi understood.
This power did not belong to him; it was merely hosted within the purple blood.
This might be a power only Heavenly Venerates wield, and he just happened to steal a little of it. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by novel fire.net
"Could this be the Power of Creation possessed by a Heavenly Venerate?" Li Yi looked at the purple blood, marveling that due to the Time Emperor Furnace, he had accidentally glimpsed a piece of the Heavenly Venerate’s enigma.
If this were true, then the Heavenly Realm’s Heavenly Venerate is truly terrifying, capable of fulfilling wishes and omnipotent, far beyond just mighty.
Understanding a little, Li Yi looked at the purple blood in his hand, knowing that this was his capital for rising.
Though he didn’t know how much Power of Creation could be extracted, as long as this purple blood hadn’t run out, he essentially had a wishing machine.
His goal was to maximize the utility of the Power of Creation with the smallest expenditure.
Creating things is evidently the most wasteful method.
Using the Power of Creation to open skillful gates and speed up cultivation as Li Yi did recently is the correct approach, as it incurs minimal loss and significantly enhances oneself.
"In that case, this Time Emperor Furnace is extremely vital to me. No matter what, I cannot forsake this Heavenly Emperor Weapon; if I lose it, I will never be able to extract the Power of Creation."
Subsequently, Li Yi realized the significance of the Time Emperor Furnace.
No, both items were crucial, complementing each other, and neither could be lacking.
