Chapter Eighty-Four: Zhao Li's Soul! A Legendary Treasure!
"No~"
As a dazzling golden light shot into the sky, the Fifth Prince's screams abruptly ceased.
The light disappears.
A demon-sealing talisman floated silently in mid-air!
The seal on the demon contained the Fifth Prince in the form of a ferocious beast, baring his teeth and his fierce eyes filled with resentment.
Bang!
A golden key fell to the ground from mid-air.
Li Yang first placed the Demon-Sealing Talisman in front of the Emperor's Belt.
As the magic sticker transformed into energy particles, it was instantly transported into the sealing array constructed by the Five Elements Light and Shadow Stones.
Immediately afterwards, Li Yang picked up the golden key from the ground and asked curiously, "What is this thing? What's the use of a key?"
Zhao Li leaned closer and said, "This should be the key to unlock the Taotie Treasure Vault, right?"
Li Yang took a deep breath. "But the problem is, where is the Taotie treasure trove?"
uh~
This stumped Zhao Li, who scratched his head in confusion. "I don't know either. I've only heard a legend in the Three Realms that whoever defeats Taotie can choose treasures from his treasury!"
“The people who defeated the Fifth Prince in the past must have been led into the treasure vault by the Fifth Prince himself… Why don’t you revive the Fifth Prince, find out the whereabouts of the Taotie treasure vault, and then reseal him?”
Li Yang rolled his eyes.
Zhao Li realized he had given a bad idea and immediately changed the subject, "Let's go find that silly boy Dong Qing first, he's probably scared to death by now!"
With that, he took the lead and walked into the next room.
Li Yang deactivated his transformation, and the Emperor Armor dissipated into light particles in the air.
He carefully put away the golden key, preparing to go to the Troubleshooting Department of the Beast Group later, hoping to communicate with the sealed Fifth Prince and get some answers.
Xia Dongqing was tied to a huge dining table, his eyes darting around as he tried to loosen the ropes binding his hands so he could escape.
After struggling for a while, I sadly discovered that it was all in vain!
He heard part of the commotion outside and knew that Zhao Li and Li Yang had come to rescue him from the "710 Office." He felt both happy and regretful!
"I shouldn't have lost my temper with Zhao Li, and I shouldn't have stormed off in a huff, hurting the people who truly care about me!"
Xia Dongqing had no idea that the reason he had such an experience was entirely due to the mischief of those two unscrupulous guys, Li Yang and Zhao Li!
Hearing footsteps approaching, Xia Dongqing quickly closed his eyes.
He only felt a figure appear beside him, and just as he was about to open a crack in his eye to see who it was, he heard Zhao Li's smug voice rang out from above him.
"Hey, isn't this Mr. Xia Dongqing, who came to the fifth floor to make a fortune? How come he's been served on the table?"
"Could you be the tableware used to plate the legendary human body feast?"
"I didn't see any sushi or tuna on you."
Zhao Li feigned an expression of sudden realization.
"Oh my goodness, are you actually someone's food?"
Zhao Li's mouth is incredibly sharp!
Xia Dongqing opened her eyes instantly, about to retort, but then she thought of her current state and how Zhao Li had risked his life to save her.
He sighed, "Zhao Li, please untie the ropes binding me, they hurt so much!"
Although Zhao Li's mouth was as sharp as a knife, his hands were quick, and he untied Xia Dongqing's ropes in no time.
Xia Dongqing rolled off the dining table, still shaken, and asked, "Where is that Fifth Young Master? Zhao Li, let me tell you, he's not human! He actually tried to eat my eyes!"
Zhao Li said irritably, "Nonsense, of course I know he's not human. The Fifth Prince is the Dragon King's fifth son... Taotie!"
Xia Dongqing was dumbfounded. "Holy crap, it's actually a divine beast?"
"Bullshit, that guy is a ferocious beast!"
Zhao Li rolled his eyes and scoffed, "Haven't you read the Classic of Mountains and Seas? That guy has eaten more people than you've ever seen in your entire life!"
hiss~
Xia Dongqing couldn't help but gasp, "A ferocious beast! How did you defeat such a powerful creature?"
Zhao Li was about to boast a bit when he saw Li Yang walk in, and he changed the subject.
"Li Yang is the main attacker. He sealed the Taotie. I'm just playing a supporting role, not worth mentioning."
Xia Dongqing thanked Li Yang with immense gratitude and promised that he would treat Li Yang to a big meal the following month when Zhao Li paid him his salary!

Li Yang smiled at Zhao Li, "Brother Li, remember to pay Dong Qing a little more next month. It doesn't have to be much, just 10,000 will do. I want to eat at a Michelin-starred restaurant!"
Zhao Li rolled his eyes. "Would you eat a tire if I offered to?"
Li Yang gave Zhao Li the middle finger.
"Alright, I need to go to the Ten Thousand Beasts Group to see if I can communicate with the Fifth Young Master's soul and find out how to enter the Gluttonous Treasure Vault, but..."
Li Yang smiled at Zhao Li, "The Taotie Treasure Vault belongs to me. I'll just pick one treasure for you at most as payment for this cooperation!"
Zhao Li curled his lip, "You have the nerve to call me a miser? I think you're the real cheapskate!"
Such a vast treasure trove, and all I get is one thing?
"Alright, I want the original copy of the Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection!"
Li Yang rolled his eyes. "Dream on!"
"That's an authentic work by Wu Daozi?"
"no!"
"An emerald jadeite over a meter tall?"
"If we keep talking, our friendship is over!"
"Damn it, I did my part, I even contributed the holly, and you're not willing to give anything in return?"
Xia Dongqing looked confused. "What is this Taotie Treasure Vault you're talking about?"
Li Yang and Zhao Li, as if on the same wavelength, said in unison, "It's none of your business!"
Xia Dongqing immediately shrank his neck, his gaze constantly shifting between Li Yang and Zhao Li.
These two are hiding something from me!
Li Yang smiled slightly, "Actually, I have something here that would be perfect for you!"
Zhao Li stared at him suspiciously. "You're not trying to fool me, are you? Tell me what it is first, and then I'll decide whether I want it or not!"
"soul!"
Zhao Li didn't react at first, and scoffed, "I'm a ferryman of souls, what kind of soul haven't I seen? No! Absolutely not!"
Li Yang joked, "Really don't want it? This is a soul that belongs to you!"
Zhao Li's heart skipped a beat. Suddenly, a certain possibility occurred to him, and he stared at Li Yang in disbelief.
"What do you mean?"
[Happiness percentage +1%]
A ball of orange light swirled around Li Yang's fingertips. This light seemed to have a life of its own, and with each breath, there was even the sound of a heartbeat!
Gradually.
Zhao Li was shocked to discover that the breathing frequency of the orange light mist gradually became one with his own breathing!
And the luminous mist also took shape!
That's exactly what he looks like!
"What are you..."
Zhao Li stared wide-eyed at the other version of himself in Li Yang's hand, utterly incredulous!
Although it was somewhat blurry and illusory, as a ferryman of souls, Zhao Li recognized at a glance that what Li Yang held in his hand was a clump of souls!
Or rather, the essence of the soul!
[Happiness percentage +1%]
Li Yang smiled slightly, "Your original soul was sent into reincarnation by Acha long ago, and has undergone many reincarnations. You are now two different individuals!"
"But I can create a new soul for you, and from then on, you will have an anchor and a home in this world!"
The shock Zhao Li felt was beyond words.
[Happiness percentage +10%]
Li Yang's method of creating souls is a power that even Hades does not possess!
The essence of the soul is the manifestation of the Great Dao!
All the gods and Buddhas in the heavens can only perform their duties under the Great Dao. They can only use the laws of the Dao, but they cannot change the Great Dao!
But at this moment.
Li Yang's actions are changing the very path!
"How did you do that...?"
Zhao Li regretted asking the question as soon as it left his mouth. Such a great supernatural power, enough to shock even gods and Buddhas, must be an earth-shattering secret, and he shouldn't have asked about it.
He took a deep breath. "I'd choose this reward!"
Li Yang channeled a wisp of the Soul Gem's power from his fingertip into Zhao Li's body.
moment.
Zhao Li felt as if a seed was sprouting inside him!
That's a new soul!
Zhao Li was originally a physical body, but was transformed into an energy body by Hades Acha using a secret method, thus allowing him to freely enter and leave the underworld!
but now.
As his soul began to grow, Zhao Li felt a sense of perfect harmony between form and spirit!
Once his new soul has fully grown and merged with his current energy body, it will become one with his new soul.
At that time, Zhao Li will reach the realm of Yang Shen Great Perfection!
If he no longer wants to be a ferryman of souls, he can even ascend to become an immortal!
Zhao Li knew what a great opportunity this was, and he looked at Li Yang with gratitude in his eyes.
But it was too difficult to get him to say anything sentimental, so he could only keep this kind request in his heart and secretly make a vow.
"If Li Yang ever marries Hades, I'll definitely be his best man!"
Li Yang bid farewell to Zhao Li and Xia Dongqing and arrived at the Wan Shou Group's troubleshooting department.
After greeting Meizhen and Ouyang Mofei, she plunged into the room where the light and shadow stones were placed.
The purple magic stone is located in the middle of the Five Elements Light and Shadow Stones, and the powerful light and shadow array completely seals the power of the magic stone!
Li Yang used the power of the Soul Gem to contact the slumbering Taotie soul within the Demon Spirit Stone.
The Fifth Young Master, who was in a bad mood when he was woken up by Li Yang, roared, "Who dares to disturb my sleep?"
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw only a vast emptiness where the sun and moon were in the same sky!
A giant eyeball, one bright and one dark, like the sun and the moon, was staring at him!
The Fifth Prince was so frightened that he trembled.
My God, what a powerful soul it must be to have such a magnificent figure!
Compared to the owner of my eyes, who is like the sun high in the sky, I am just a firefly dancing among the weeds on a country road!
Such a powerful soul essence far surpasses that of his cheap father!
