Chapter 914: Chapter 125: Boundless Mountains and Rivers Qi Fortune, The Righteous Tao of the Human Emperor
The breath was vast and majestic, carrying a sense of righteousness, and when it fell upon Li Guanyi, who was originally exhausted, he suddenly recovered rapidly until he reached his peak, and then stopped.
Still at the level of the Fifth Layer Heaven, without a breakthrough.
The great tripod roared nine times.
The fortune of the mountains and rivers, cultivated by the Taigu Red Dragon and Li Guanyi, through the Ping Family, military parades, unified axle width, uniform script, and unified measurement steps, converged into the massive bronze tripod like a hundred rivers returning to the sea.
One of the Nine Tripods glowed brilliantly, the topography of mountains and rivers on the body of the tripod shimmered, and the power within became increasingly vast and grand.
Suddenly, a roar was heard.
The immense fortune of the mountains and rivers gathered transformed into a pillar of Qi Fortune.
It erupted from within the body of the tripod, surged upward towards the sky, and at this moment, all magicians and alchemists who mastered the Qi Observation Skill looked up in astonishment, unable to explain this magnificent transformation with any of their skills.
Li Guanyi felt this transformation was somewhat familiar, and after a little thought, he realized, isn’t this just like the Nine Provinces Tripod within himself, absorbing the Primordial Qi dissipated by Yue and the others, and after being filled, it reverses and pours into his own body?
"So that’s it..."
Li Guanyi moved his palm away from the bronze tripod, staggered a couple of steps, sat on the ground, took a deep breath, and seeing the Nine Provinces Tripod had merged into the fortune track of the mountains and rivers, he completely relaxed and thought to himself:
"The way I used it before was entirely wrong."
"To use the Nine Provinces Tripod to assist a person’s cultivation, did I forget."
"What do the words Nine Provinces Tripod truly represent."
"It’s not a legend linked to personal bravery."
"Using an ox cleaver to kill a chicken would be an understatement, this is Grandpa swatting a mosquito..."
Li Guanyi felt both fatigued and satisfied.
His heart was clear and serene.
"What truly satisfies the Nine Provinces Tripod isn’t a martial arts master or the power of a legendary figure like the Taigu Red Dragon, nor is it the unparalleled Sword Intent of Grandpa, it should be the Qi of the masses and the sacrificial altar."
"It shouldn’t reverse the gathered breath back into my body to enhance cultivation."
"But rather, like now, gather the originally unintentional dissipated Primordial Qi, and fortune, purify and enhance with the power of a Divine Weapon, and finally return it to the people."
"It’s like [Harvesting Grain][Cooking]."
"After all, it is a tripod."
Li Guanyi stretched out his hand, clenched his five fingers tightly, and laughed heartily:
"To settle the tripod in one place, to nourish the masses!"
"This is the Tao!"
"Fool."
Li Guanyi heard a voice scolding, then saw the silver-haired man across with arms crossed over his chest, the Whale Hunter casually perfected the Earth Core Furnace Formation of the Murong Family, looking at Li Guanyi, raised a hand and pressed it on Li Guanyi’s shoulder, knowing that this kid was still at the Fifth Layer Heaven.
Hey, this kid is truly foolish, not gaining any benefits.
The Whale Hunter ought to ridicule heartily.
The more unlucky this kid is, the more he delights.
But at this moment, he was instead burning up inside with frustration.
It was a sense of hate iron for not being steel, gnashing his teeth, coldly taunting: "It’s a pity, this matter is settled, you didn’t take the ’Emperor’s Divine Skill’ path, still at the Fifth Layer Heaven."
"If you were willing to walk the ’Emperor’s Divine Skill’ path, you’d definitely be at the Sixth Layer Heaven now."
"To gather [Emperor’s Dragon Energy], with special skills in attack, defense, and offense."
"In the future, as you acquire more territories and people, the barrier of Grandmaster that blocks nine out of ten martial artists won’t be an issue either."
"Unlike now, you’ve exerted such great effort, yet gained nothing, is it worth it?"
Li Guanyi was understanding the operation of the Nine Provinces Tripod and the reason behind his previous cultivation surge, tilted his head, and asked: "Senior, are you concerned about me?"
The veins on the Whale Hunter’s forehead bulged.
"Nonsense!"
Li Guanyi laughed out loud, leaning against the now-quieted furnace, utterly exhausted, yet utterly satisfied: "I wasn’t after that in the first place, and this situation means the people’s fortune hasn’t been taken by me, which is great."
The silver-haired Whale Hunter looked at him: "Worth it?"
Marquis Qin Wu extended a hand, and softly said:
"This question, I also want to ask ’them’."
"But, I answer you this way."
"Why should I seek worldly worthiness in my actions?"
"The ethos of our hearts is not understood by the worldly; if they say it is not worth it, does that make it truly worthless? Who determines it is not valuable? This world progresses because some of us engage in pursuits deemed unworthy by mundane eyes."
"Unworthy?"
"Ha, nonsense!"
The Whale Hunter coldly mocked: "All this effort, what’s the point?"
Li Guanyi replied: "Just so one day there will be no beggars."
The Whale Hunter’s expression froze.
Despite such an atmosphere, Mr. Siming couldn’t help but laugh out loud, and even the Mystic Turtle couldn’t hold back the laughter, this kid’s demeanor and words truly suit my lineage of the Yin Yang Family.
He seems innocently harmless, yet one sentence can pierce the Taoist Heart.
Indeed, he was raised by Murong Qiushui.
No wonder, back in the day, the old man climbed over the wall to find him.
The Whale Hunter coldly laughed, and Li Guanyi extended his hand, fingers slightly open, looking at the tripod, but felt his palm heavy as a wine gourd was placed in his hand. The silver-haired man silently, lightly said: "...Even though I’m not sure if you will succeed."
"But, this temperament, is good."
