Eternal God Emperor: Only I Am Emperor One

Chapter 168 Achieving Sainthood Through Mental Power

As I walked out of the Sword Tomb, members of the Zhenyu Ancient Clan, who had been waiting there, immediately came to greet me.

"Young Master Di Yi, you've finally come out."

"What do you want from me?"

"It was the Holy Book Lady who knew you were in the Sword Tomb and instructed us to wait here until you, young master, emerged from seclusion and we would take you to see her."

The talented woman from the Holy Book also came to the Underworld Sword Tomb, which surprised Emperor Yi somewhat.

Led by the members of the Zhenyu Ancient Clan, Di Yi met the Holy Book Talented Woman in a cave.

Upon meeting, the talented woman from the Holy Book said in a low voice, "Back then, we agreed outside the Sword Pavilion that I would help you find the inheritance of the Dao of Origin, and you would be responsible for refining the Heaven-Illuminating Mirror to deal with the Undying Blood Clan. As a result, there was no news for more than half a year. I thought you had died in the underworld."

Emperor Yi smiled and said, "It's only been half a year. You are a Saint, this amount of time is just a seclusion for you. Why are you in such a hurry? It seems that the inheritance of the Dao of Origin has been secured?"

Seeing that he only had the inheritance of the Dao of Origin in his eyes, the talented woman of the Holy Book sneered, "Does the lack of news about the inheritance of the Dao of Origin mean I can't find you? Have you forgotten what I told you outside the Sword Pavilion?"

"Of course I dare not forget. Friends should indeed see each other often. So, did Danqing bring me a surprise this time?" Di Yi's current strength is no weaker than that of a Saint. He has no psychological burden when interacting with the talented woman of the Saint Book.

The talented woman brewed a pot of tea and sat down with Di Yi at the table. The aroma of the tea was so enticing that just smelling it made Di Yi's mental energy restless, giving him the potential to break through his cultivation level.

"This is the legendary Sacred Ancient Tea? Only a few dozen leaves can mature in a year, and you actually use it to entertain me. I am flattered." Di Yi took a sip, and as the tea went down his throat, his mind became clear in an instant.

The talented woman said, "Tea is meant to be drunk. If you like it, you can go to the Qin Sect and ask Mr. Mei for some leaves. He should have quite a lot in stock."

Di Yi shook his head and said, "I dare not go to see Mr. Mei, much less take his things. Otherwise, if he keeps trying to persuade me to repent, wouldn't it be difficult to refuse? By the way, you served me Sacred Dao Ancient Tea, you wouldn't be trying to persuade me to repent, would you?"

"I'm just inviting you to have some tea; I have no other intentions. But if I go through all sorts of hardships to help you find the inheritance, and you still can't refine the Heaven-Illuminating Mirror, then don't blame me for turning my back on you ruthlessly," the talented woman of the Holy Book said in a warning tone.

"You just called us friends, how come you're turning your back on me so suddenly?"

Even among friends, accounts should be kept clear.

"So, you really have found the inheritance of the primordial path?"

Getting back to the main topic, the talented woman from the Holy Books stopped being mysterious and took out a white jade Buddha statue, placing it on the table.

The Buddha statue is about one foot tall, pure white, and covered with densely packed ancient characters.

"This was taken from the Imperial Treasury and personally appraised by the Great Sage of Spiritual Power. It is the inheritance of the Path of Origin left by the gods of the Middle Ages. Whether you can comprehend its mysteries depends on your own destiny. After all, no one in the court has cultivated the Path of Origin."

Di Yi picked up the white jade Buddha statue, examined it carefully, and said, "Danqing is indeed a favorite of the Empress. He even brought out a treasure like the divine inheritance. It shows how much he is valued."

The talented woman with the sacred book rolled her eyes at him: "What value does a legacy that no one can cultivate have? If I hadn't gone to search for it, this white jade Buddha statue would still be lying unnoticed in a corner of the imperial city's treasure pavilion."

"As expected of the imperial court, as expected of the imperial city's treasure vault that gathers the top inheritances of the entire Kunlun Realm. Even the inheritances of gods can only gather dust in a corner. It's simply too extravagant." Emperor Yi sincerely praised, gaining a deeper understanding of the imperial court's profound resources.

The talented woman from the sacred book gave a light snort, her full chest rising and falling with it: "Stop talking nonsense with me. You should try and see if you can comprehend the inheritance on it."

Di Yi immediately became serious, abandoning his thoughts of arguing with the talented woman from the sacred book, and focused all his attention on comprehending the white jade Buddha statue in front of him.

The inscriptions on the Buddha statue were all Buddhist scriptures, and it looked like a Buddhist sutra. However, under the True Source Demon Eye, Di Yi made a different discovery.

Every character was ancient and Di Yi did not recognize it, but after careful study, he discovered that all the characters seemed to have the same meaning, only presented in thousands of different forms.

Within the sea of ​​consciousness, the Divine Lotus swayed gently, creating a connection with the Buddha statue.

Immediately, the entire Buddha statue emitted a brilliant light, illuminating the cave.

The talented scholar's red lips parted slightly, her expression one of utter shock. She had studied the white jade Buddha statue for months, yet had not been able to glean anything of value from it.

How long has Di Yi been holding it? A quarter of an hour? Yet it has already caused the white jade Buddha statue to react. Could it be that this object is truly destined for him?

Before Di Yi's eyes, thousands of scriptures disappeared, leaving only a single divine scripture containing endless mysteries.

It shares a similar essence with the True Character Divine Script, consisting of only one character, yet containing a vast amount of the original Dao's inheritance.

The white jade Buddha statue radiated primordial divine light, illuminating Di Yi and making him appear holy and flawless, placing him in a state of profound mystery. The sacred ancient tea he had previously consumed was now activated by the primordial divine light, transforming into strands of spiritual light, allowing Di Yi's aura to begin advancing to a completely new level.

Di Yi's spiritual power had already reached the peak of the forty-ninth level, and he was only one step away from stepping into the fiftieth level and becoming a spiritual power saint.

At this moment, propelled by the primordial divine light and the sacred ancient tea, he actually broke through the sacred barrier and became a saint in one fell swoop.

A massive influx of spiritual thoughts flooded into his heart, transforming it into a sacred spiritual heart.

At the moment of spiritual sainthood, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within three thousand miles of the Ling Mountain Cave was transformed into fine threads of four energies: earth, fire, water, and wind. Furthermore, the purest and most extreme dark power linked these four energies together, forming a derivative power containing the attribute of darkness and destruction.

"Eternal Night Burial Ground".

Di Yi clasped his hands together, and all the darkness and power of the world converged towards him, forming a dark giant more than ten feet tall behind him.

On the giant's shoulder stood a six-colored celestial phoenix, its entire body composed of flames.

The Heavenly Phoenix Clan has six colors corresponding to a Saint, seven colors to a Saint King, eight colors to a Great Saint, and nine colors to a Divine Phoenix.

Both the giant and the six-colored phoenix were part of the holy image that Emperor Yi condensed after his spiritual power became holy.

His spiritual power is extremely special, originating from the realm of consciousness and mind, a unique world.

The true form of the Eternal Night Burial Realm was not released by Emperor Yi, but the power released by the Dark Giant and the Six-Colored Heavenly Phoenix alone was enough to frighten even the Holy Book Talent.

"What kind of holy form have you condensed? You've only just become a saint, yet you seem to be not much weaker than me."

Di Yi recalled the Dark Giant and the Six-Colored Heavenly Phoenix into his sea of ​​consciousness, then looked at the Holy Book Talented Woman, somewhat eager to try, and said, "How about we have a fight and see who is stronger?"

The talented woman raised her eyebrows slightly, curious about Di Yi's current strength, and also very confident in her own cultivation.

"My spiritual power has reached level fifty-two, while you have only just become a saint. Challenging me is just asking for trouble."

"It wouldn't hurt to give it a try."

Suddenly, wisps of azure flame flew from Di Yi's fingertips, coalescing into the shape of a phoenix, which spread its wings and pounced towards the talented woman of the Holy Book.

The temperature inside the cave suddenly rose, and a heat wave surged through the air.

The talented woman of the Holy Book casually typed the word 'Suppress', and with her level 52 spiritual power, it was enough to suppress a lower-realm Saint.

But she clearly underestimated the cunning of the Flame Phoenix. The moment she made contact, the character "镇" (zhen, meaning "to suppress") was engulfed by the flames and vanished into nothingness.

The talented woman from the sacred book narrowed her eyes, recognizing the extraordinary nature of the azure flames. She immediately became serious and used her most proficient Confucian and Taoist methods to resist the incoming fire phoenix with her righteous energy.

The fire phoenix and the righteous energy collided, unleashing a powerful impact that sent Di Yi flying backward, crashing into the stone wall of the cave.

Fearing that she might actually injure Emperor Yi, the talented woman of the Holy Book immediately stopped after defeating the Fire Phoenix.

Di Yi climbed out of the stone wall. He had a strong physical body, and although his clothes were slightly dirty, he was otherwise unharmed.

"Even with the Purifying Divine Flame, it's still far from enough to fight a Spiritual Saint of the 52nd level."

"You actually mastered the legendary Purifying Divine Fire. No wonder the power of your spiritual force, which you just became a saint, is stronger than that of some spiritual saints at the 51st level." The talented woman of the Holy Book was quite surprised. The Purifying Divine Fire is a flame that only gods can control. It can purify and destroy everything, and even gods cannot resist it. Since Di Yi can control it, doesn't that mean he has a high probability of becoming a god in the future?

Of course, the Purifying Divine Flame controlled by Emperor Yi is still quite weak, it is only the weakest of the common people's flames. Above it are the higher-level ministerial flames and imperial flames, and finally the divine flames.

Even the Purifying Divine Flame at the Commoner level can pose a fatal threat to a Saint. If Di Yi's spiritual power reaches the fifty-first level, the Saintly Scholar will not be confident enough to block it.

Realizing that he was still far behind the talented woman of the Holy Book, Di Yi stopped making a fool of himself. Looking at the mess in his cave, he said with a little shame, "I accidentally damaged the cave like this. How about I ask the Ancient Prison Suppression Clan to arrange another cave for you?"

"No need, this is fine as it is. You should hurry up and finish refining the Heaven-Illuminating Mirror as soon as possible. Since the Empress left the Central Imperial City, the Undying Blood Clan has become increasingly arrogant in the Central Region." The Holy Book Talented Woman's face showed worry. There are many strong people of the human race in the Kunlun Realm, and they are not afraid of the Undying Blood Clan. However, the enemies of the human race are not limited to the Undying Blood Clan. The Beast King of the Wilderness and the creatures of the Void Realm are all eyeing them covetously.

If it weren't for the flames of war raging in all directions, why would the Holy Scholar and the Martial Saint of Canglan, both close attendants of the Empress, personally come to the Underworld Sword Tomb to provide support? They could have simply sent a few Heavenly Kings from the Imperial Court.

Di Yi put away his frivolous expression, nodded seriously, and said, "Give me five days."
