Xuan Yuezi, after defeating four Great Demons, no longer took action. In her view, these Earth Demons and Sky Demons on the battlefield were not worth her attention, and her sole task was to ensure Taiyi’s safety. As for other matters, she would not concern herself. Seeing the crisis resolved, Li Yi immediately walked out from the Taiyi Hall. He was covered in blood and not in good shape, even though he had taken a Three Treasures Pill gifted by Nun Liu. After all, he had endured a strike from a Great Demon; surviving was already quite fortunate. "Thank you, Immortal, for your assistance, otherwise today would have been truly dangerous." He bowed to express his gratitude. Xuan Yuezi, seeing Li Yi was fine, showed a faint smile on her cold face: "It’s good that you are fine, Taiyi. These Great Demons of the Demon God Realm are truly shameless, joining forces to besiege you, a Cultivator of the Five Qi Realm. But now it’s fine, I’ve already slain them, and only one Great Demon remains, which won’t stir up much trouble." While speaking, she stepped onto the Xiangyun to Li Yi’s side and once again looked him over. "Though you are heavily injured, your foundation hasn’t been shaken. It seems that the Dao Artifact refined by Tu Daoist is indeed useful, and how fast your realm has risen; in just a few months, you’ve reached the Fourth Level of the Five Qi Realm." Afterward, Xuan Yuezi was surprised at Li Yi’s realm. Of course, she wasn’t the only one with this feeling. Li Yi said, "This is quite a long story, mainly last time when I traveled across dimensions to a special world which can accelerate cultivation." As he spoke, he produced a subtle Power of Incense. Xuan Yuezi immediately examined this Power of Incense, then exclaimed slightly in surprise, "What a peculiar power, can the Power of Faith manifest?" "This is the Power of Incense and Belief. Mortals can become gods after death with incense, achieving immortality as long as the incense continues. Moreover, the power of incense can also accelerate cultivation and nurture the soul... This is precisely why Xiang Xiangzi was able to awaken early, and I have her stay in that world to accumulate incense, borrowing falsehood to cultivate the true, restoring her cultivation. I believe next time she crosses back, she will be like the Immortal, with her Three Flowers Fully Open," Li Yi said. "Incense Fire God, borrowing falsehood to cultivate true... Did this Power of Incense actually cause Xiang Xiangzi’s Primordial Spirit Seed to bloom in advance?" Xuan Yuezi’s expression shifted slightly, intrigued by the world where incense becomes divine. If truly one could obtain a vast amount of incense, then the Incense Fire Cultivation could be accelerated rapidly. Only Taiyi had such fortune to find these two worlds and combine the cultivation methods of both, bringing out the best of each. Li Yi continued, "Xiang Xiangzi mentioned that within the Heavenly Dao Seal, there are Primordial Spirit Imprints of three deceased Immortals. If nourished with incense in that world, it might be possible to resurrect the other three Immortals." "Hm?" Upon hearing this, the always calm Xuan Yuezi could no longer maintain her composure. She grabbed Li Yi’s hand, asking, "Did Xiang Xiangzi truly say this?" Last time, when Tu Daoist was reforging the Xuanhuang Seal, he discovered the Primordial Spirit Imprints of the three Fallen Immortals. Since then, Xuan Yuezi had been trying to find a way to revive those three Immortals. Yet even as an expert at the peak of the Three Flowers Realm, she couldn’t achieve this. But this world where incense becomes divine, as Li Yi described, seemed to present an opportunity to Xuan Yuezi. "Xiang Xiangzi said there’s a high probability it could succeed, which is why she specifically asked me to inform you, Immortal," Li Yi said, "Though speaking of this on the battlefield may be untimely, it is important, so I felt I should mention it the moment I saw you to prevent future delays of vital matters." "Taiyi, you did the right thing. This matter is indeed very important to me. Three of the Seven Immortals perished during the End of Dharma to preserve the Xuanhuang Seal, sacrificing their lives, while two other Immortals were persecuted by the Tianyi Sect." "If the three Immortals can be resurrected, it would certainly be a fortune." Then Xuan Yuezi continued, "After this matter concludes, I want to cross dimensions to meet Xiang Xiangzi." "Of course," Li Yi nodded. Reviving the other three Immortals would undoubtedly greatly enhance the strength of their side. Meanwhile, as they chatted leisurely. On another battlefield. Wu the Taoist and Tu Daoist joined forces; Great Demon Lei Jiao was inevitably approaching his end. His proud speed did not allow him to escape alive because Tu Daoist used the Yin Yang Creation and Transformation Tripod. Even after the End of Dharma, this top-tier Dao Artifact remained undamaged, and now wielded by a Three Flowers Realm master, its power was indeed boundless. Just a wisp of Chaos Qi escaping sealed off this world, leaving no escape for Great Demon Lei Jiao. Moreover, with the duo’s combined attack, In just moments, Great Demon Lei Jiao was covered in wounds, bleeding profusely. Lei Jiao roared unwillingly, finally understanding the feeling of being besieged. It was truly stifling. In a one-on-one, he surely wouldn’t lose, but two-on-one was an entirely different matter, especially with the new arrival possessing a heap of treasures; while their raw power wasn’t particularly strong, together with those artifacts, they were incredibly troublesome. Unable to win and unable to escape, being gradually worn down by the two of them was just a matter of time. At this moment, Tu Daoist seized the opportunity to unleash the Tao skill he had cultivated for many years. Leijiao, already wounded, could only erupt with demonic power to counteract the fierce winds surrounding him. But just as he withstood the gust, a sharp spear, propelled by the wind, instantly came at him. This was a weapon at the Daoist Artifact level, effortlessly tearing through the protective demonic power of the Great Demon and piercing his skull with great speed. This strike led to the demise of the Great Demon of the Thunder Peng Clan on the spot. As the massive demonic body manifested, Tu Daoist rode the wind, collecting the Great Demon’s corpse into his storage magical artifact, intending to use it for future Dao Artifact refining. "Wu the Taoist, are there no more Great Demons? Is this the last one?" Tu Daoist asked, somewhat dissatisfied. He wanted to take advantage of Immortal Xuan Yuezi’s presence to hunt a few more Great Demons. After all, if he missed this chance, there might not be another. "There are still many Great Demons in the Demon God Realm. If you’re interested, go ahead," Wu the Taoist replied with some annoyance. "Do you really think Great Demons are easy targets? Their power is equivalent to the Tri-Floral Realm. Today, it was our combined efforts that felled one Great Demon. If it had been a one-on-one situation, who knows who would have killed whom." "There are also Demon Kings in the Demon God Realm, with power likely between the peak of the Tri-Floral Realm and Great Perfection. Luckily, the Demon King hasn’t appeared today; otherwise, I would have perished here." Tu Daoist said, "That’s because you’re incompetent. You’ve cultivated all your life and only bloomed one flower. If you had Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, those Great Demons wouldn’t be your match. You should seriously reflect on yourself, almost losing the Taiyi." "Indeed, Cultivators from minor sects are lacking. Look at the Immortal; she can kill four Great Demons with a single strike, and don’t tell me it’s about realm. In terms of age, you’re much older than Xuan Yuezi." "You bald head, you have the audacity to criticize me. You’ve been missing for quite a while," Wu the Taoist said angrily. "I’ve been traveling Earth, refining Dao Artifacts. And don’t forget, the Five-Colored Divine Bell in your hand, where do you think it came from? Without me, the elder of the Daoqi Sect, you’d be fighting those Great Demons with just a rifle," Tu Daoist replied. Wu the Taoist, unable to retort, fell silent; after all, it’s hard to dispute when someone has provided you with a weapon, and indeed, the Dao Artifact in his hand was refined by Tu Daoist. At this time, the injured Feiyunzi, seeing the battle had subsided, also flew over and said, "Both of you, there’s no need to quarrel now. Although the crisis is averted for now, the Demon God Realm won’t leave it at this." "This time, several Great Demons have perished. I’m afraid the Sky Moon Demon King might emerge next time, which would be the real trouble." "If the Demon King appears, we are no match. Even if Taiyi objects, I will take him and immediately flee," Wu the Taoist said. "I have no desire to confront these entities again." "Wu the Taoist, you’re just scared," Tu Daoist laughed. Wu the Taoist retorted irritably, "Try being targeted by several Great Demons and see how you feel. And for us to want to contend with the entire Demon God Realm is simply wishful thinking." "Cultivators face battles regularly. Wu the Taoist, it seems the trek through the End of Dharma has dulled your courage," Tu Daoist shook his head and said, "They’re just Great Demons; what’s there to fear? Fight back if they dare come. I truly don’t know how you reached the Tri-Floral Realm, staying secluded in your sect perhaps?" "I refuse to believe Wu the Taoist in your youth never faced formidable foes. Now, crossing the realm to Earth, Taiyi has reopened the path of cultivation for us, and we should reclaim our youthful fighting spirit, not cower. To me, the Tri-Floral Realm is just the beginning; in the future, I intend to become a pathfinder and be a patriarch." "What do a few Great Demons count for? Once I have Three Flowers Fully Opened, I must confront the Demon King." Tu Daoist confidently declared. Wu the Taoist’s lips moved slightly, wanting to rebut but finding himself a bit powerless. When did he become so timid? Was it because, after experiencing the End of Dharma, he became cautious about his life, or because, after crossing to Earth and regaining his Tri-Floral Realm cultivation, he lacked the courage to risk losing it again? But being a cultivator, Wu the Taoist knew very well that if he lost this forward-driving spirit, his life would end just . "Baldy, you’re right. I’m old, no longer what I was when young. Facing a siege from several Great Demons from the Demon God Realm has indeed made me fearful. In this state, future achievements seem unlikely." Wu the Taoist sighed. He thought of Xuan Yuezi. When she arrived on Earth, she had only opened two flowers, but after several significant battles, she’s now at Three Flowers Gathering at the Top. Admittedly, the Immortal is more talented than he is, but the more significant difference lies in their respective mentalities. "Wu the Taoist, if you do not wish to stay here and face the Great Demons, you may leave. Taiyi surely won’t stop you. But I will remain, for Taiyi can always cross realms back to the Cultivation World and bring some Tri-Floral Realm experts here; it’s not a difficult task." Tu Daoist seriously said at this point. Despite Wu the Taoist’s endless battles, worthy of recognition, he didn’t approve of his retreating attitude. Even surviving the End of Dharma, being frightened by a few Great Demons was unbecoming of a cultivator.
