Inside a side hall somewhere in the Imperial City.
It is now night.
The hall was brightly lit, yet no one spoke.
Lu Changfeng, the Emperor, High Ancestor, and Deputy Commander Zhao of the Demon Suppression Bureau were all present.
With the sound of light footsteps, a figure in black robes stepped into the hall.
All eyes turned to that direction.
The girl's expression was calm, and her well-fitting black robe made her cool and aloof face appear even more like jade.
Her long hair was neatly tied back, and she walked without the slightest slouch.
" Guyue, you've come?"
The emperor was the first to rise.
Everyone stood up and bowed to Jiang Yuechu.
Jiang Yuechu's gaze swept over the crowd.
The emperor and Zhao Lao were filled with barely suppressed excitement, and High Ancestor also had a rare relaxed expression.
Only Lu Changfeng, whose handsome face bore an undisguised weariness, had dark circles under his eyes.
Clearly, he had spent a great deal of time and energy on the matter of the Golden Body these past few days.
"Yes, it's here."
Jiang Yuechu nodded slightly, as if to greet everyone.
She asked directly, "I heard from the Old Red Flood Dragon that the Golden Body has been completed?"
"Exactly! Exactly!"
The emperor was delighted upon hearing this.
He looked at Lu Changfeng gratefully and said sincerely, "Thanks to Young Master Lu, who has worked tirelessly day and night for the sake of our Great Tang Dynasty."
Lu Changfeng quickly waved his hand and said with a wry smile, " Your His Majesty is too kind."
"I only did what little I could, and I dare not take credit for it."
The emperor laughed heartily and said no more.
" Guyue, come with me."
Having said that, he personally led the way, guiding everyone through the side hall to a more spacious secret hall at the back.
The palace doors were pushed open.
In the very center of the hall stood nine life-size golden statues, identical to Jiang Yuechu.
The statue is cast entirely in pure gold and is remarkably lifelike.
From the expression in the eyebrows and eyes to the folds of the clothes, everything was exactly the same.
However, each of the nine golden statues was surrounded by a faint golden halo.
It subtly exudes a sense of sacred majesty.
Lu Changfeng stepped forward, his voice hoarse, and said, "Following my family's Secret Method, I mixed the Phoenix-Tree Heart, unique to Phoenix-Perch Ridge, with Gale Stone, ground it into powder, and incorporated it all into this Golden Body."
"These nine golden Golden Body are no longer ordinary objects."
"Simply place it in temples throughout the land, and it will be able to carry the vast Incense and Fire Prayer Power, serving the Great Tang."
Jiang Yuechu remained silent.
She walked slowly forward to a golden statue.
He raised his hand and lightly touched the golden statue with his fingertips.
The surface wasn't as cold as I had imagined.
Instead, it is as warm and smooth as jade, with a strange vitality flowing within it.
Jiang Yuechu raised an eyebrow slightly.
She brought her five fingers together and slowly clenched her fist.
A punch was thrown out as everyone's pupils suddenly contracted.
It landed on the golden statue's chest.
boom--
The sound echoed inside the hall.
But no one cared about anything else; they all immediately looked toward the Golden Body.
Fortunately...
The statue remained completely still.
Not even a single crack appeared.
Jiang Yuechu withdrew her hand and nodded.
"It's really good."
Although only one-tenth of his strength was used.
But the fact that it was completely intact was somewhat beyond her expectations.
This big girl...
The emperor's lips twitched slightly.
I was genuinely afraid that the Golden Body I had just created would be smashed by my beloved younger sister with a single punch.
Lu Changfeng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead before continuing, "As for the other arrangements, I have already discussed them with His Majesty. We only need the young lady's approval to begin the arrangements on a chosen date."
The emperor quickly chimed in, "Indeed, after our discussion, we have decided to temporarily enshrine the Golden Body within the Capital Circuit."
"As for martial artists specializing in the Incense Path, they will be selected from the Demon Suppression General Bureau for the time being."
Upon hearing this...
Jiang Yuechu didn't blame her, after all, there was nothing she could do about it.
Ordinary clay sculptures are one thing, but the Lu Clan's method of creating Golden Body is extremely complicated.
Even if there were plenty of time, the Lu Family had already devoted themselves to the orthodox path for many years, and the materials they were using to refine the Golden Body were just the little bit of their savings from earlier years.
In other words...
The goal is to erect such Golden Body throughout the sixteen circuits of the Great Tang.
The issue of materials is also a major problem that needs to be solved.
However, even if it's just Capital Circuit...
For the Great Tang at present, this is enough.
Thinking of this...
She said softly, "In that case, let's hurry."
The time spent in the Great Tang was indeed quite long.
The fact that she hadn't received a large sum of Dao Cultivation in a long time made her feel inexplicably uneasy.
If we can resolve this matter of incense offerings sooner, we can set off as quickly as possible to visit the Spirit Mountain.
Upon hearing this...
Lu Changfeng nodded quickly. "We can begin the arrangements immediately, and we will send the Golden Body to various temples in Capital Circuit on a chosen day."
"Only..."
He paused, a troubled look on his face.
"There is one more thing that you must handle personally, Miss."
Jiang Yuechu looked at him with a puzzled expression. "What do I need to do?"
Lu Changfeng took a deep breath and said solemnly, "The practice of offering incense is originally about using the power of the people's wishes to cultivate one's own supernatural abilities."
"However, the methods for cultivating the Golden Body in the Great Tang are different from those of ordinary Incense Path."
He pointed to the nine golden statues.
"The young lady must first follow the methods in the < Ten Thousand Transformations Golden Body Method > to leave her own mark within these nine main Golden Body."
" Golden Body bears the girl's mark, it will manifest on its own. Depending on the different manifestations of the Golden Body, the subordinate Golden Body Method that one comprehends will also differ."
"And the derivative methods that were comprehended are the foundation for the rest of the Great Tang to learn in the future."
"Only by practicing this method can one borrow the Incense and Fire Prayer Power and vows from the girl's Golden Body to temper oneself."
Jiang Yuechu raised an eyebrow.
What's the meaning?
He also needs to develop his own set of Cultivation Method and then pass them on to the people of the Great Tang?
No wonder...
She had doubts before.
The Great Tang specializes in the practice of incense offerings; surely not everyone can cultivate the " Ten Thousand Transformations Golden Body Method "?
While this method isn't exactly profound or mysterious, it still has some barriers to entry.
Moreover, this was the first time the people of the Great Tang had come into contact with this path.
I only just realized that there's such a saying...
But doesn't she know her own level of understanding?
All his skills were acquired through killing and fortuitous opportunity; when has he ever seriously sat in meditation to comprehend any profound mysteries?
Isn't this harmful?!
Why didn't you say so sooner?
"Forehead..."
Lu Changfeng looked embarrassed and subconsciously took a half step back.
He himself had never practiced the Golden Body Method, and all that he knew now was only what he had learned in his spare time by studying the ancient books of his clan.
Although I have a deep understanding of it, it is ultimately just theoretical.
It's understandable that I didn't think of it at the time and therefore overlooked it.
Moreover, given the extraordinary abilities and unparalleled Cultivation Method displayed by this person, what difficulty could it possibly be in developing a mere cultivation technique?
Therefore, although I remembered it later, I didn't make a special trip to inform them...
