They wanted to systematically cultivate a group of Martial Immortal at the Tower-Ascending Realm.
These periods of time often span hundreds or thousands of years.
The Great Tang cannot afford to wait.
Jiang Yuechu also didn't have time to wait.
But this incense offering is different.
if...
With hundreds of millions of Great Tang, what a terrifying force it would be if this immense mental power were gathered together!
As for the fact that one's strength is greatly reduced after leaving the dojo, this is indeed a fatal weakness for those who need to expand their territory.
But for the Great Tang Dynasty, which now only needed to guard its borders and recuperate, this was not the case.
What does it matter?!
Thinking of this...
Jiang Yuechu felt a surge of heat in her heart.
The slight annoyance she had felt because those good-for-nothings from Five Immortals Mountain hadn't been able to feed her properly had mostly dissipated by now.
They killed a few old dogs, but found a shortcut to becoming a powerful nation.
This deal is a good one.
The girl took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the turbulent thoughts in her heart.
"Then do you know how exactly one should cultivate this Incense Golden Body?"
Wang Ziyu was taken aback.
He stared at Jiang Yuechu with his mouth agape, his face filled with disbelief.
"What... what do you want to do? You wouldn't be thinking of..."
Are you crazy?
This girl possesses the body of True Dragon and has such terrifying potential; she is destined for greatness.
He Bi ruin your future by practicing this Incense Path?!
Jiang Yuechu did not explain.
But the light in his eyes grew even more intense.
"I only ask you... do you know, or do you not know?"
Wang Ziyu felt a little uneasy under those eyes.
He instinctively took half a step back, avoiding the scorching gaze.
A moment of silence.
The Young Disciple sighed and nodded.
"I know... of course I know."
"The matter of incense offerings is not a secret that the various Grotto-Heaven hold."
"Some Grotto-Heaven from cultivation Lineage, if their elders are nearing the end of their lifespan and have no hope of breaking through, will also bring this path back to their Lineage."
"To help them convert to the Incense Divine Path, thereby continuing the Lineage's fortune and protecting their descendants."
Jiang Yuechu nodded slightly.
Since there's a way, things will be easier.
Seeing the girl's interested expression, the absurd thought in Wang Ziyu's mind became even clearer.
He couldn't help but step forward and said urgently, "Once you receive the incense offering, setting aside all the restrictions... as you just saw, these five beasts are all at the Later Realm of the Tower-Ascending Realm, but their strength isn't that much stronger... Although it's partly due to your exceptional talent, in a battle between cultivators of the same realm, the one who cultivates the incense offering will undoubtedly lose!"
Jiang Yuechu raised an eyebrow and said, "Who said I needed to fix it?"
Upon hearing this...
Wang Ziyu was taken aback.
Then he immediately realized what was happening.
"You want to..."
Jiang Yuechu did not deny it.
She nodded, her expression calm.
" The Great Tang was too vast, with a huge territory and hundreds of millions of people."
"I am just a human being, not a god."
"I can slaughter all the invading enemies of Chang'an, and I can wipe away the filth of this Five Immortals Mountain."
"But we couldn't protect every inch of the Great Tang's land, nor could we instantly reach every county when Demon raged."
That's all.
A hint of weariness flashed in the girl's eyes, but it vanished in an instant.
"Regardless of any drawbacks, this practice of offering incense is a life-saving remedy for the Great Tang today."
"I know that the law cannot be easily passed on. Consider today's matter a favor I owe you. If you ever need anything in the future, I... will never refuse."
Looking at the girl's serious face, Wang Ziyu scratched his head somewhat awkwardly.
"Ahem... Alright, alright, don't make it so solemn, it's kind of creepy... Besides, ordinary incense offerings, even with high levels of attainment, don't really have any specific time periods, so they're not actually very useful..."
Jiang Yuechu frowned slightly.
"What should we do then?"
Wang Ziyu held up one finger and shook it.
"To truly harness the power of incense without being burdened by it, it's best to cultivate Golden Body. Only then can one be considered to have entered the path and established a foundation..."
" Golden Body?"
"Good."
Wang Ziyu nodded and said, "The so-called Golden Body Method involves forging a Dharma body using rare and precious materials from heaven and earth, and then refining it day and night with Incense and Fire Prayer Power vows. But that's not the key... The key is that this method requires a powerful ancestor as the prototype to create the Golden Body."
"Once the Golden Body Major Achievement, other cultivators who practice this path can temporarily borrow the abilities of the original person through the Golden Body."
"Simply put, if you were to create Golden Body based on yourself..."
"Then... throughout the Great Tang Dynasty, all those who worship your Golden Body can benefit from your power. This can be considered one of the few advantages of the incense-burning tradition!"
"However... this method of condensing Golden Body is rare; there are only a handful of places in the entire Eastern Territory that still possess such a tradition."
Upon hearing this...
Jiang Yuechu's eyes dimmed slightly.
There are only a handful of such places in the entire Eastern Territory... According to them, the mere practice of offering incense is hardly of any great use.
However, it is still somewhat inadequate against strong opponents.
Suddenly, the Young Disciple grinned, revealing a set of white teeth.
However...
"I happen to know of a place; if you'd like, I can take you there to try your luck."
Chang'an.
Dusk was falling.
Son of Heaven Li stood with his hands behind his back, remaining silent for a long time.
Behind him, the old eunuch stepped forward shakily.
" Your His Majesty, it's late and the dew is heavy..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by that hoarse voice.
Has the Guyue not returned yet?
The old eunuch stiffened, lowered his head, and said softly, "No news has come back yet... However, Her Grand Princess is blessed with good fortune and will surely be safe and sound."
"Good fortune smiles upon the virtuous?"
The emperor grinned, but his smile was full of bitterness.
" Guyue was orphaned at a young age and suffered endless hardships."
"Having finally returned to the royal family, I haven't even fulfilled half of my responsibilities as an elder brother, yet she has to fight her way through the land for the sake of the Great Tang Dynasty..."
"Now, he has even Tower-Ascending Realm, becoming the sole pillar of this Great Tang."
The emperor slowly turned around and looked at his hands.
"Even if I wanted to help them share their burdens, I am powerless to do so."
Upon hearing this...
The old eunuch dared not say more.
only...
He Bi comparing yourself to a prodigy like Prince Guyue?
Looking across the vast land of the Great Tang Dynasty, who could compare to it?
After pondering for a long time, he softly comforted her, " His Majesty, if His Highness knew how much you blamed yourself, he would feel uneasy... and he wouldn't feel that you owed him anything."
Before he could finish speaking...
Just then...
Suddenly, several streaks of Streak of Light streaked across the sky above the night, heading straight towards the Imperial City.
The first one, gleaming with golden light, was particularly eye-catching.
"It's... it's Guyue who's back!"
The emperor's eyes suddenly brightened, and all traces of dejection vanished.
Holding onto a corner of his dragon robe, he disregarded all imperial decorum and ran wildly toward the spot where he had fallen.
The old eunuch shook his head and sighed inwardly.
Compared to His Majesty's self-reproach.
He felt even more that the Great Tang was extremely fortunate.
To have such a prince... who has repeatedly turned the tide and saved the Great Tang from dire straits!
