Eternal God Emperor: Only I Am Emperor One

Chapter 29 Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm

Spring has passed and autumn has come, cold has come and heat has come, and the peach blossoms in the mountains have already withered three times.

A dark shadow darted out from among the lush trees and skimmed past the treetops.

In the ancient forest, two first-tier flying beasts were startled and flew out, circling and crying out in the air.

The sword-wielding youth stood atop the tallest tree, holding a sword in one hand and the head of a mid-tier third-level savage beast in the other. Three years had passed, and the youth had grown to five feet tall. Apart from his somewhat youthful face, he was not much different from an ordinary adult.

Standing atop a tree overlooking the lush green mountains, Di Yi couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

Unexpectedly, the journey to the Dragon's Nest in the Fallen God Mountains has lasted for more than three years and is still not over.

He lightly stepped on the branches and leaves, and his whole body transformed into a black afterimage as he headed towards the valley where the thatched hut was located.

Flowing Light and Flying Clouds is a high-grade spirit-level movement technique. Now that he has cultivated it to perfection, although he cannot walk on air or fly through the chaotic clouds, he truly resembles flowing light when he uses it.

If the imbalance between the Heart of the Fiery Demon and the Holy Body had not become increasingly severe, temporarily halting his cultivation at the Great Perfection of the Profound Realm, breaking through to the Supreme Perfection of the Profound Realm would not have been too difficult.

A moment later, he returned to the valley, threw the beast's head onto the stream, and plunged into the ravine, causing white mist to rise from the water.

Qingyu Peng stood on the top of the valley side, watching the figure plunge into the bottom of the mountain stream. For some reason, it felt an aura emanating from the figure that made its own blood tremble.

After soaking in the stream for half an hour, Di Yi emerged from the water and landed on the bank. The golden lines on his skin gradually faded, and the residual heat dried his robes.

"The power of the Heart of the Flame Demon is growing stronger, and even the Heavenly Demon Suppressing Prison Diagram cannot completely suppress it."

Di Yi looked down at his palms. Since absorbing the bloodline power of the dragon egg for the last time two months ago, the power of the golden phantom surged from the heart of the Flame Demon and gathered in his palms, condensing into two strange patterns.

It resembled a dragon but was not a dragon, and brought a strong burning sensation, making Di Yi dare not improve his martial arts realm any further, for fear that breaking through would bring him to be engulfed in flames.

Even the Nascent Soul Half-Saint was helpless in this matter. He sent a message back to the First-Class Hall in the Black Market, but the Hall Master of the First-Class Hall did not reply for a long time. Di Yi could only temporarily suppress his realm and fight with the wild beasts in the mountains every day to vent his anger and hone his combat awareness.

A burly figure in a blue robe emerged from the thatched hut built by the stream. Seeing that Di Yi had stabilized his internal energy, he said, "Relying on the cold current of the mountain stream to dissipate the yang energy in the body is merely a temporary solution."

Emperor Yi was startled upon hearing the voice. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the person who came was Xia Xiongtu. He was shocked. When did he arrive?

"Uncle, what are you doing here?"

Xia Xiongtu reached into the room and inhaled, and a blood-stained head flew out and landed in his hand.

The head belonged to a young man, whose eyes were wide open, his death unfulfilled.

Di Yi was puzzled as to why his uncle always brought such a special 'gift' whenever he appeared in public.

“I waited outside the Holy City of the Eastern Region for three years, until a month ago when I finally found the right opportunity to kill this man and bring his head back,” Xia Xiongtu said calmly.

"he is?"

"Xu Chenglong, the number one person below the half-saint level in the Xu Sheng Clan, is also the enemy who killed your parents."

A blue flame ignited in Xia Xiongtu's palm, burning Xu Chenglong's head to ashes. "Di Yi, I am sorry for your parents' deaths, but the dead cannot be brought back to life. All I can do is help them avenge their deaths."

Di Yi was silent for a moment before speaking, "Uncle, there's no need to blame yourself. You killed the culprit, and your parents in heaven will be comforted."

Xia Xiongtu shook his head and said, "Xu Chenglong was just the one who made the move, not the culprit. It was the half-saints of the Xu Sheng Clan who wanted to lure me out. This feud cannot be considered settled until the Xu Sheng Clan is destroyed."

Speaking of this, he felt somewhat powerless. The Xu Sheng Clan had a saint in charge of the clan, and more than ten half-saints. It was a major clan in the Eastern Holy City.

Although he is one of the four great holy bodies of the Eastern Region, he still needs to cultivate diligently for at least several decades if he wants to become a saint.

As for the Xia family, they are a large and powerful family, and they would not rashly start a war against a saintly clan for his sake.

His lineage is only a side branch of the Xia family, with only one half-saint in charge. If it weren't for a genius like him, it would be questionable whether he could even stay on Tianzhu Peak.

Otherwise, how could his younger sister have married into the Di family, a third-rate family in the world?

"The Xu Sheng Clan has a thousand-year-old heritage and deep roots in the Eastern Region Holy City. It cannot be shaken overnight. We must wait until we become half-saints before we can think of a way to take revenge." Di Yi shook his head. "Did Uncle come here specifically to deliver this person's head to me?"

"I just brought it along for you to see. The head of Yipintang sent me."

"What does the sect leader mean?"

Xia Xiongtu nodded and said, "The hall master told me that the balance between your sacred body and demonic heart has been broken. The Fiery Demon Heart is showing a tendency to overpower the Five Elements Sacred Body and go out of control. I just observed you for a while and found that there is a very strong Fiery Yang Qi in your body, far exceeding that of ordinary people. This must be caused by the imbalance of the Fiery Demon Heart."

Di Yi was surprised. As expected of one of the four great holy bodies of the Eastern Region and the number one person in the previous generation of the black market, his eyes were so sharp that he saw the crux of his problem at a glance.

“I consulted a Nascent Soul senior, who told me to use the Heavenly Demon Suppressing Prison Diagram to balance the Holy Body and the Demon Heart, and to draw on the moonlight of the sky and the cold air of the earth to balance the blazing power in my body. But three years have passed, and these two methods are no longer sufficient.”

"Uncle, do you have any other solutions?"

"The solution for a Nascent Soul Half-Saint is to harmonize Yin and Yang, which is not a problem, but it underestimated the Fiery Demon Heart within you."

"After all, he is not a Holy Body, so it's understandable that he doesn't understand the mysteries of the Holy Body."

Xia Xiongtu spoke in a serious tone, which made Di Yi feel a little strange. Why did he feel that his words were somewhat disrespectful to a Nascent Soul Half-Saint?
As a Nascent Soul Half-Saint, he is not a Sacred Body, so he does not understand how to balance the Sacred Body and the Demonic Heart. The implication is that he, as the Azure Dragon Sacred Body, has a solution.

Xia Xiongtu saw through his thoughts and asked, "How much do you know about me?"

After a moment's thought, Di Yi replied, "My uncle possesses the Azure Dragon Sacred Body and is the strongest young person in the entire Eastern Region Evil Land over the past ten years. He is unparalleled in both spear and palm techniques, and his Overlord Spear has made the righteous martial artists of the Eastern Region Divine Land tremble with fear."

Xia Xiongtu nodded in satisfaction and smiled, "My main cultivation paths are spear and palm, hence outsiders call me a master of both spear and palm. The spear technique I mainly cultivate is the supreme skill, the Overlord Spear Manual, which the Evil Emperor comprehended from the Heavenly Demon Overlord Spear Diagram. As for the palm technique I mainly cultivate, it is the first palm technique among the eighteen supreme skills of the Western Regions Ten Thousand Buddhas Path, the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm."

"Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm?" Di Yi was somewhat surprised. He only knew that Xia Xiongtu was highly skilled in palm techniques, but he did not know what specific palm techniques he had practiced. He never expected it to be the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm.

"The Heart of the Flame Demon originates from the Chaotic Ancient Flame Demon. In essence, it is even more domineering than the Holy Body. Using external forces to harmonize it is merely a temporary measure. In my opinion, it is better to guide than to block."

"Transform the blazing Yang energy within your body into an aid for cultivating the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm."
