The Blade-Wielding Legend-Chapter 1382 - 714: Turmoil Over the Capital (Part 2)

Feeling the longing of the Daluo Dharma Body, Li Yan no longer hesitated and slowly placed his hand on it.

Buzz~

The stone suddenly trembled as if it had gained intelligence and wanted to escape.

At the same time, a vast amount of vitality quickly surged into Li Yan's body.

These were special Innate Gang Qi, which the human body could not bear, but for the Daluo Dharma Body, it was a great supplement.

A large number of cracks were being repaired at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Crack!

In Li Yan's mind, he could even hear the sound of porcelain fragments gathering together.

Without deliberate guidance, the Daluo Dharma Body was like a Taotie, frantically devouring the vitality of the spirit stone.

Crack!

Another shattering sound was heard.

But this time, it was not from within but from the outer skin of the spirit stone, which was brittle and peeling off.

Finally, the Daluo Dharma Body was completely repaired.

The current Daluo Dharma Body was already like white porcelain jade, with the surface covered with golden lines.

Compared to the beginning, it was like heaven and earth difference.

However, even after the Dharma Body was repaired, the vitality of the spirit stone continued to be plundered.

A hint of joy flashed in Li Yan's eyes as he waited quietly.

Poof!

After an unknown period, a soul fire suddenly lit up on the Daluo Dharma Body.

Li Yan quickly stopped, his face full of smiles.

After the Chengdu battle, he extinguished a soul fire and later found some spiritual objects, but most were unusable, only just enough to repair the Dharma Body, stitching up and patching it, it remained tattered.

Because of this, many times in combat, he could not let go for fear of extinguishing the second soul fire.

Now that it was fully restored, he immediately felt a sense of relief.

With three lives in hand, the next time he met Zhao Qingxu, he wouldn't need to worry about a head-on clash.

Looking at the spirit stone again, the surroundings were already covered with gray stone flakes, leaving less than the size of a fist.

Li Yan's eyes were full of distress as he carefully wrapped it up.

The principle of this thing, absorbing the vitality of plants and trees, is unknown; just like when it was buried in the Imperial Garden, it hadn't done anything for nearly a hundred years, but suddenly it caused havoc and destroyed the entire garden overnight.

One must know that the Imperial Palace's garden is full of various spirit grass.

If its principle could be understood, the Daluo Dharma Body would no longer have concerns.

Even if not, it could be used to repair the Dharma Body.

Perhaps because the Daluo Dharma Body was repaired, Li Yan felt his body and mind relaxed, so he directly went to bed, crossed his legs, meditated, and cultivated the "Luo Feng Scripture."

This cultivation was the work of water-grinding.

His Fourth Realm Dao had just stabilized so far; he didn't know how long it would take to enter the Fifth Floor.

Unknowingly, the night grew deeper.

After entering meditation, Li Yan entered the Storage God Space, and after a period of cultivation, he completely conserved spirit and forgot self.

In a trance, he slowly opened his eyes, and his brows immediately furrowed.

The whole room seemed to become very strange.

The various layout furnishings were still the same, yet vaguely appeared as if separated by a layer of white gauze, and there was a large amount of accumulated water on the ground.

Dragon Lady?

This scene was all too familiar to Li Yan.

Previously, when the Dragon Lady had appeared in his dreams several times, it was just like this.

But the transaction with the Dragon Lady had been completed, and she, having been conferred by the court, had now become the protector deity near Jinguan City, too busy stabilizing incense business to look for him.

Moreover, this place was thousands of miles away, Dragon Lady's influence hadn't left Shu, when did she gain such ability?

Just as he was puzzled, the water surface on the ground suddenly showed ripples.

Immediately after, a majestic divine figure slowly rose from the water surface, surrounded by golden sand, floating in mid-air, directly opposite him.

Although the figure was vague and blurry, it exuded a familiar sense.

Li Yan's mind was greatly shaken, recognizing the opposite party's identity.

Five Dao General!

He and this Mortal God had quite a destiny.

At that time, in the Fuxi Ancient Cave, capturing the nest of yin criminals, the opponent had personally appeared, inadvertently dropping the "Five Directions Luo Feng Flag" for him to obtain.

This Treasure Banner is a Daluo Magical Artifact, with immeasurable power, but it only has Five Directions Gang Qi, requiring sufficiently robust magical artifact to contain it.

After beheading Beimang Ghost Emperor, he got five formidable Magic Flags but all were damaged, ordinary people couldn't repair them, and this time coming to Qiankun Academy, he was also hoping to find an expert for repair as the carrier for the "Five Directions Luo Feng Flag."

Let's not mention this for now, previously when receiving Yin Bureau tasks, he also came across the Five Dao General a few times and heard his conversations with Judge Cui.

It can be said, quite familiar.

However, he never communicated with him, and the opponent was also unaware, having unintentionally disclosed many secrets about heaven and earth to Li Yan.

Finding him suddenly this time, what did he want?

Li Yan was puzzled in his heart, but on his face, he dared not show any flaws, instead staring at the opposite party with full vigilance, feigning shock.

But what made him strange was, the Five Dao General didn't speak, just waved his hand, opened and closed his mouth, seemingly wanting to say something, but couldn't produce any sound.

Soon, the light on his body dimmed and gradually disappeared.

In the darkness, Li Yan suddenly opened his eyes and sat upright.

He looked around, his face full of doubt, then a thought stirred in his heart as he took out the Hook Paper from his bosom.

All Dream-Entering Techniques must pass through some medium, the Five Dao General likely used the Hook Paper's Five Directions Luo Feng Flag.

The problem is, what was he looking for him for?

Li Yan originally didn't desire any ceremony, but he inexplicably felt uneasy.

This was not just any Mortal God, "Turn your head for Five Dao, open your eyes and see King Yan," his position within the Yin Bureau was quite extraordinary.

According to previous information, he belonged to Luo Feng Mountain.

In some way, he's even considered like one of his own people.

Suddenly appearing in dreams, could something major have happened?

Thinking until here, Li Yan no longer hesitated, got up, and dressed.

Divine people do not appear in dreams for boredom.

The reason must be clarified!

Speaking of which, the Five Dao General's faith was also tampered with, there were even rumors in folklore that he was five thieves in life.

On the surface, it seemed they established temples and performed sacrifices, but in reality, they polluted the incense.

If it was somewhere else, Li Yan might not have any leads, but here it was the Capital, where the Five Dao General's belief was the strongest!

After greeting Wang Daoxuan, he climbed the wall overnight and headed towards the west city.

The Capital's Five Dao Temple was built in the west city, at the convergence place of the Xuanwu Dragon Vein, the name of Wudao Kou in the previous world, was derived from here.

Late at night, the Capital was extraordinarily quiet, with the sound of watchman's clappers in the streets, and drunken people lying unconscious outside the taverns as the court had lifted the curfew.

Li Yan traveled unimpeded and soon found the Five Dao Temple.

Beside the Five Dao Temple, there was even the Jade Emperor's Palace built, symbolizing the lead of all gods, suppressing demons in the Capital.

This Five Dao Temple was not large in scale and not old in construction, rumored to have been built by the favorite eunuch of the former Emperor for blessings and peace.

It is said that after the temple was built, that eunuch went everywhere looking for people to write stele inscriptions.

The previous Emperor was cowardly, letting relatives form cliques for selfish gain, and eunuchs wield power, even scholars with some integrity were too lazy to deal with this Chief Eunuch.

Among them was a high scholar of the Confucian circle, who was personally approached by that Chief Eunuch, dared not refuse but wasn't willing to falsely praise, so he wrote: "The Five Dao Temple is the god of Five Dao. People think that the tree is before the temple, but I think the temple is behind the tree. Why, let's list the fragrant names."

That Chief Eunuch, not highly educated, couldn't decipher the meaning within, happily erected it in the temple, and later when the reigning Emperor staged a coup, having him executed, the Five Dao Temple's inscription has remained till now.

Just like the current state of belief in the Five Dao General, although in the Capital, its area isn't large, nor does it stand out on the streets.

In the darkness, Li Yan directly climbed over the wall.

Inside the temple, there was only one elderly caretaker, clutching a wine flask in the side room, snoring loudly, the other places merely barely kept clean.

At the moment of landing, Li Yan's heart was shaken.

The Hook Paper in his bosom buzzed and trembled.

This was a sign of detecting Demonic Qi!

To hide the aura so deeply, that even the Five Dao General had to come to dream to seek help, Li Yan immediately eliminated the opponent's identity.

Zhao Qingxu's companion, the Demonic God Liu Yuanheng's Demonic Qi!

Unexpectedly, one parasitized in the Five Dao Temple!

Without any hesitation, Li Yan turned over and broke the window, directly grabbing the drunken old man and swiftly retreating, while taking out the Hook Paper, he started reciting: "Heavens have records, the earth has threads..."

Before the words were finished, a gust of Yin Wind started in the temple, the dense smell of incense rose up, then turned into a mass of shadows, heading toward Xuanwu Gate.
