Chapter 915: Chapter 125: Vast Mountains and Rivers’ Qi Fortune, The Majestic Human Emperor’s Tao
The atmosphere between both sides seemed to have eased considerably.
It wasn’t like before, filled with mutual hostility.
Li Guanyi laughed heartily, tipping his head back to drink, staggering to his feet. He looked at the tripod, curious about its purpose. This casting of the tripod involved no small effort. He turned to leave, but after taking only a few steps, he suddenly sensed something amiss.
Buzz!!!
Within his body, the bronze tripod, the Nine Cauldrons roared simultaneously. The Whale Hunter and Siming both heard a low dragon roar, and a layer of scarlet scales emerged layer by layer on the youth’s body. The Dragon Scale gradually became solid, transforming into the Red Dragon Dharma Form.
The Red Dragon Dharma Form coiled and circled around Li Guanyi, stirring up layers of gas flames, moving slowly with an air of grace. Suddenly, it rose, bypassed Li Guanyi, and rushed directly towards one of the qi fortune pillars of light among the Nine Cauldrons.
The Red Dragon Dharma Form flew into it.
It did not attempt to absorb or control this qi fortune, but danced within the pillar of light to guide the flow of qi fortune. A sword sound emerged as well; the Divine Weapon Chi Xiao Sword appeared before Li Guanyi, and it also entered the pillar of light, similar to the internal space of the earlier bronze tripod.
Divine Weapon, Dharma Form, Qi Fortune.
The three matched seamlessly.
Siming almost tore off his beard, his expression solemn: “What is this?”
“Emperor’s Divine Skill?”
“No, it’s not, it’s not that domineering.”
He could feel the change in qi fortune, it did not decrease; instead, it became more pure.
Not the path of the Emperor who plunders the qi fortune of the people for one’s own nourishment.
But a path coexisting with the mountains and rivers, and the people.
It appeared similar, but at its core, fundamentally different. One seizes the qi fortune of all living beings to gather upon one person, to achieve great domination; the other walks the Great Way alongside all living beings, existing together.
Amidst the boundless qi fortune, brilliance amassed, gathering the people’s qi fortune. The people enjoyed Taiping yet remembered the youth’s name, resulting in this change; it was not one-sided plundering and extracting, but a mutual achievement.
In the qi fortune pillar, the Red Dragon guided the qi fortune’s ascension, stretching its body, as the dragon roar became louder and louder, merging with the bronze tripod’s rumbling, as if heaven and earth were in harmony.
Simultaneously, it resonated and transformed along with the Chi Xiao Sword.
Eight hundred years ago, the first generation Red Emperor was incomparably bold and passionate.
But through the eight hundred years of the Red Emperor lineage, eventually, a sedimentary change had occurred.
This change would also affect the Chi Xiao Sword.
Upon the Chi Xiao Sword, brilliance flowed, gradually washing away eight hundred years of accumulated negativity, while the Red Dragon’s long roar continued. Li Guanyi noticed a surge of golden-red primordial qi within the Nine Cauldrons.
That was the vast primordial qi originally absorbed from the Ancient Red Dragon.
And the eight hundred years of longevity of the Ancient Red Dragon.
This force directly surged into the Red Dragon Dharma Form.
With this power, the Red Dragon Dharma Form, amidst the dragon roar, its scale armor layered over each other, shimmering with flowing light, the glow of fire blazing grandly, finally the flame layers converged, the Dharma Form’s scale armor surprisingly presented strands of gold, rising within this qi fortune, unspeakably noble.
Faintly having the demeanor of an imperial sovereign.
Then, together with the Divine Weapon, it flew towards Li Guanyi, surging into his body.
The Five Layer Heaven Inner Qi at Li Guanyi’s peak instantly began to stir.
Dragon roar unending, sword sound resounding, what is called a bottleneck.
One step shattered!
From the initial stage of Sixth Layer Heaven to the mid-stage of the Sixth Layer Heaven, passed in just a moment.
When the old Siming and the Whale Hunter sealed off the surrounding aura, they both looked over, expressions slightly taken aback, seeing Li Guanyi standing there, black hair slightly lifted, the original Red Dragon Dharma Form metamorphosed.
The Red Dragon’s horn extended, becoming enormous.
Its scale armor glowed with golden-red fire, a pair of golden vertical pupils calmly gazing forward.
The old Siming looked at the Red Dragon’s claw.
“Five claws…”
“Scale armor glows gold.”
This was the Red Dragon Dharma Form of the Red Emperor back then.
And the Whale Hunter noticed Li Guanyi’s Inner Qi accumulation had reached the extreme of the Sixth Layer Heaven, extremely powerful and domineering, the Red Dragon Dharma Form coiling around him, already infinitely close to becoming a reality, infinitely close to the effect that a Grandmaster of the Seven Heavens Realm could achieve.
Above the Seven Heavens is the Grandmaster Realm, a watershed.
Blocking countless martial warriors of the Sixth Layer Heaven.
For instance, in the Divine General List.
Aside from Ling Pingyang and a few others, the top one hundred generals on the Divine General List were all at the Inner Qi level of the Sixth Layer Heaven, with some who did not even qualify among the top hundred renowned generals in this chaotic world, having worked decades to cultivate the Sixth Layer Heaven’s skill.
However, the generals at the Grandmaster Realm on the Divine General List were already within the top thirty.
Three hundred years of chaotic world storms only yielded this few in mutual slaying and contention.
How difficult it is, it shows.
Wanting to break through this step could no longer depend solely on pure foundation and powerful Inner Qi, it required a pure mental state, requiring various fortuitous opportunities, extremely difficult.
Yet even so, the Whale Hunter and Siming could feel that although Li Guanyi’s foundation was at the Sixth Layer Heaven, it was in an extremely deep and solid state. After a long while, the tripod’s resonance gradually calmed down.
The golden-eyed, five-clawed Red Dragon Dharma Form slowly spiraled, observing the Whale Hunter, Siming; then from solid returned to ethereal, slowly fading and disappearing, hidden within Li Guanyi’s body.
Li Guanyi’s Dharma Form withdrew, clenching his fist, hesitating for a moment.
He looked towards the Whale Hunter: “I broke through, senior.”
The silver-haired man was silent.
At a loss for words.
………
The Whale Hunter, Murong Longtu, and the old Siming explored Li Guanyi’s condition to ensure that no hidden dangers had appeared on him. With the help of the three and the confirmed Divine Charm of the Nine Provinces Tripod, Li Guanyi essentially understood his current state.
He broke through following the reasoning of casting the tripod and primordial qi gathering.
