Eternal God Emperor: Only I Am Emperor One

Chapter 98 Refining the World-Stabilizing Banner

The first three stages of the Fish-Dragon Realm are entirely about tempering the body and preparing for opening the Sacred Meridian, because the physical bodies of ordinary martial artists simply cannot withstand the impact of Sacred Qi.

Even so, it is extremely risky for martial artists in the third stage of the Fish-Dragon Realm to break through to the fourth stage. At least one-third of the Fish-Dragon Realm martial artists in the Kunlun Realm are stuck at the third stage.

Emperor Yi's physical physique is already unparalleled among his peers. Looking at the entire Kunlun Realm, perhaps only the sapling of the Fire Clan's Wutong Divine Tree can be compared to him.

Opening the Yinqiao Sacred Vein was not too dangerous for him, but it was by no means as simple as the first three transformations of the Fish-Dragon Realm.

After a month of training, Di Yi cultivated Sword One to the fourth level and finally successfully opened his first Sacred Vein.

From the fourth to the eighth transformation of the Fish-Dragon Realm, one must open up five sacred meridians within the body: the Yin Qiao Sacred Meridian, the Yang Qiao Sacred Meridian, the Yin Wei Sacred Meridian, the Yang Wei Sacred Meridian, and the Chong Ling Sacred Meridian.

Emperor Yi, being a Saint Body, possessed these five Saint Meridians from birth, though they were hidden deep within his physical body. Now, he reopened the Yin Qiao Saint Meridian, a Saint Meridian many times thicker and stronger than the thirty-six martial arts meridians. Starting from the Qi Sea between his eyebrows, it passed through most of his body and extended all the way to the sole of his left foot.

As soon as the Yinqiao Sacred Vein was opened, Di Yi felt as if his life level had undergone a small leap. The martial arts true energy in his body flowed into the sacred vein, was continuously compressed, and condensed into a thin sacred energy.

With a casual strike, fueled by his holy energy, the power of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm more than doubled, far surpassing that of true qi.

However, the fourth transformation of the Fish-Dragon only opened one sacred vein, and the speed of converting sacred energy was still quite slow. When using sacred energy to perform martial arts, the sacred energy in the body would be exhausted in just a few moves.

The solution to this problem is quite simple: continue to improve your cultivation, open up more sacred veins, and once you reach the eighth transformation of the Fish-Dragon, the five sacred veins will work in conjunction with the meridians in your body to form a complete cycle. At that time, the speed of converting sacred energy will naturally be dozens of times faster than it is now.

Suppressing his joy at breaking through to a higher realm, Di Yi couldn't wait to take out the Yuan Chen Sumeru World-Stabilizing Banner and the Tian Gang Yuan Chen Token.

Having reached the fourth transformation of the Fish-Dragon, he was finally able to attempt to open the space inside the banner.

He infused his spiritual power and holy energy into the Heavenly Gang Yuan Chen Token, and a mysterious fluctuation amplified Di Yi's body. Then, a faint spatial fluctuation emanated from the Yuan Chen Sumeru Stabilizing Banner in his hand.

Di Yi poured all the remaining holy energy in his body into it, and the power of the space began to grow stronger and stronger. After a moment, a spatial gate as tall as a person actually appeared in front of him.

"Success!"

He was excited. Composing himself, he stepped into the spatial gate. After a moment of dizziness, the scene before him changed.

Only by truly entering the space inside the banner can one appreciate its vastness and the magnificence of the dragon's corpse in the distance.

It was clearly a living being of flesh and blood, but its body was so enormous that it stretched for over a thousand miles, longer than many mountain ranges. Even from a great distance, Di Yi could not see the full appearance of the dragon corpse.

After sensing the concentration of spiritual energy around him, Di Yi was greatly shocked. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the space inside the banner was several times more concentrated than that in the Kunlun Realm. Moreover, the spiritual energy contained a special sacred substance. Just by breathing in and out, the true energy in his body became more and more active. If he cultivated here, his cultivation speed would be several times faster than in the Kunlun Realm.

Most importantly, the flow of time inside the banner is twelve times that outside.

In such a place where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is so abundant, there are naturally countless rare and precious materials growing there. As far as the eye could see, Di Yi discovered several subtle fluctuations of holy energy, which belonged to the aura of holy medicine. "With time acceleration, cultivation resources, and even the corpse of a god, and with the Yuan Chen Sumeru World-Stabilizing Banner, what is there to worry about not becoming a saint in a short time?" Even though Di Yi had expected this, he still could not hide his excitement at this moment.

Holding the Heavenly Gang Yuan Chen Token in his hand, Di Yi could vaguely sense the connection between the token and the Chenlong Divine Corpse through it.

And, the connection with this world.

He was puzzled, so he released his spiritual power to investigate along this sensation. Before long, he discovered a consciousness hidden in the void.

This consciousness was not powerful. After a brief exchange with it, Di Yi learned that it was originally the spirit of the Yuan Chen Sumeru Stabilizing Banner.

It is said to be a spirit, but it is actually just a remnant spirit. According to this remnant spirit, the spirit of the Yuan Chen Sumeru World-Stabilizing Banner had been annihilated 100,000 years ago, leaving only this remnant spirit.

It is willing to serve Emperor Yi as its master, but Emperor Yi will also help it reshape its spirit body after its cultivation becomes powerful.

Di Yi naturally agreed.

After receiving Di Yi's promise, the artifact spirit did not hesitate any longer and guided Di Yi to completely refine the Yuan Chen Sumi Stabilizing Banner, thus gaining control of this time-space treasure.

It took Di Yifang a full half-day to understand the many mysteries of the Yuan Chen Sumeru Stabilizing Banner.

The entire space inside the banner has a diameter of over 360,000 miles, and the flow of time is twelve times that of the outside world. However, this is not the limit. At the center of the space inside the banner, there is a Yuan Chen Dao Platform, which is the core of the entire treasure. There is a time array carefully inscribed by the Venerable Monk Sumeru. Once it is activated, the flow of time on the platform can reach sixty times that of the outside world.

One day outside is equivalent to two months inside the banner.

Unfortunately, the spirit of the World-Stabilizing Banner is too weak now, and it will take at least until it reshapes its Dao body before the time array on the Dao platform can be activated.

In addition, the World-Stabilizing Banner itself is a powerful weapon that is no weaker than the Supreme Sacred Artifact. It can draw upon the power of time and space to fight enemies. As the owner of the World-Stabilizing Banner, although Di Yi is not a successor of time and space, he can still use his spiritual power to draw upon the power of the space within the World-Stabilizing Banner. Even if a saint breaks into it, he will not escape being suppressed.

After spending three days inside the banner, Di Yi, with the help of the artifact spirit, mobilized spatial power to create a special space several miles in diameter within the banner. He sealed the boundary with spatial power, preventing those inside from knowing what was happening outside.

This is a training ground specially created by Emperor Yi. Only by sending martial artists into it to cultivate can the spacetime treasures exert their greatest effect.

Emperor Yi wanted to cultivate loyal subordinates, so sending A-Le and Han-Qiu into the World-Stabilizing Banner for cultivation was a necessary step. However, the secret of the Dragon God Corpse was too shocking, and Emperor Yi did not want to reveal it to the public for the time being.

He stepped out of the space inside the banner. Three days inside the banner were equivalent to only three hours outside.

For martial artists who lack time to cultivate and are eager to improve their cultivation, time-space treasures are indeed invaluable treasures.

After putting away the World-Stabilizing Banner, Di Yi used his spiritual power to summon Ye Honglei, A Le, Han Qiu, Zi Qian, and Zi Yuan to the back mountain.
