After the Skyfall

Chapter 547 White Ape (Update)
Li Yi, walking in Xinzhou City, planned to find a good place and wait for the ghosts and gods in this world to come and find him. However, according to his idea, this time should be at night, because ghosts and gods are all souls. Although they have the blessing of incense, faith and spiritual energy, they can walk in the mind during the day.

But in essence, it still lacks physical body and needs to avoid exposure to the scorching sun to reduce its own damage.

“It’s nice there.”

suddenly.

Li Yi saw a towering attic in the center of Xinzhou City. The attic had more than ten floors, and one could overlook the entire city from it.

Thinking of this, he immediately walked towards the attic.

"If there are many ghosts and gods coming, I can also take this opportunity to find out the whereabouts of my father. He came here across the boundary with the cultivation level of the soul realm. Now he must have extraordinary strength and cultivation. Maybe he has become a powerful god." Li Yi thought to himself. He felt that it would be better to ask the four gods instead of looking for it by himself. After all, they knew the world best and were the most well-informed.

Not long after.

Li Yi approached the attic, which was called Yaoxing Tower and was located in Prince Xin's Mansion. The palace was heavily guarded and it was impossible to enter under normal circumstances.

"It turned out to be a royal palace."

However, he did not take it seriously and used the invisibility technique to hide his body, avoiding the sight of ordinary people and walked directly through the gate.

The two stone lions in front of the palace gate seemed to have sensed Li Yi. They growled and roared, eager to try, but were suppressed by his dragon and tiger energy. They instantly wilted, curled up in a corner, and dared not move.

Although the lion is majestic, the dragon and the tiger are the kings.

Li Yi walked inside the palace.

Sure enough, no matter which world the kings were from, they all enjoyed it very much. This mansion was like spring all year round, with birds singing and flowers blooming, and ancient trees towering. Every maid coming and going was as beautiful as a flower. Some exotic flowers and plants, and treasures from mountains and land could be seen everywhere. For example, he saw old turtles spitting pearls in the water, spiritual birds building nests on the trees, and nine-leaf ginseng blooming in the flower beds.

Moreover, there were white foxes playing and old monkeys dancing with swords as they came and went.

"They are all monsters." Li Yi glanced and found that the animals here were unusual. All of them were intelligent and had a certain level of cultivation.

But even monsters are willing to join the palace and be raised by others.

the reason is simple.

Kings and princes can share the huge incense and spiritual power as soon as they are born. These spirits can also get a share by entering the royal palace, which helps with their practice. They will also be protected and free from illness and disaster, which is many times better than staying in the wild. Moreover, if they succeed in their practice and serve the court, it will be easy for them to be canonized as gods in the future.

But it is not easy to enter the palace, and you need to be valued.

"Stop, where did you come from, Taoist? How dare you use magic to sneak into the palace? Look, my sword." Suddenly, a loud shout was heard, and a white ape standing on an ancient tree was seen looking around. Suddenly, its eyes lit up, as if it saw through Li Yi's invisibility. It stabbed straight over with an ancient sword in its hand.

Although they were a hundred meters apart, the white ape was extremely agile. With just one leap, it was already in front of him.

Li Yi didn't say much. He just rolled up his Taoist robe to block the sharp ancient sword, and then stepped back slightly.

The white ape was like being hit by a giant dragon. Its strong body flew away in an instant, and it crashed into countless flowers, plants and trees along the way. Finally, it smashed a rockery with a loud bang, and its entire body was buried in it.

"Wow!" The white ape vomited blood and a human-like look of fear appeared in his eyes.

What kind of strength is this?
With just a slight push, it flew more than ten feet away. If the Taoist had not shown mercy, it felt like its body would have exploded, and there was absolutely no chance of survival.

"Sorry, I can't control my strength well, it's a little too strong." Li Yi said, "Your white ape can already speak human language, it looks like you have really become a spirit. I am just passing by and looking for a place to rest. You can pretend that you didn't see it, and I won't make things difficult for you. How about that?"

"I am the Mountain Watching Ape of the palace, responsible for guarding this place. How can I allow a mountain Taoist like you to come in and out of the palace at will?" The white ape stood up from the ruins very stubbornly. Its fur was stained with blood, but it still held an ancient sword tightly.

Li Yi said, "This is the only place in the city that is big enough. When I cast a spell at night, it will have the least impact. After tonight, I will leave. It would be great if we can all live in peace. Otherwise, if we start fighting, I might kill you by accident. That would be a shame. If you agree, I can give you a spell. How about the invisibility spell I just used?"

He tried to bribe the white ape.

The white ape rolled his eyes and hesitated at this moment. After all, it couldn't beat the Taoist, and it was not a loss to learn a magic. He immediately said, "Is your invisibility technique serious? It's not some evil technique, is it?"

"The true Taoist teachings are very serious." Li Yi said.

"Okay, then you teach me the art of invisibility, and I will allow you to stay in the palace for one day, but only one day. After one day, you, the Taoist priest, must leave." The white ape nodded in agreement.

Li Yi smiled and said, "Then come to the Yaoxing Tower at night and I will teach you magic."

"The prince will hold a banquet at Yaoxing Tower tonight. You cannot go to Yaoxing Tower before Xu time." said the white ape.

Li Yi said, "I can use the invisibility spell and sit quietly by the side, so I won't be discovered." The white ape scratched his head, thought for a while and said, "That's fine, then I'll find you to learn magic after the banquet is over, and you can't deny it."

"Why would I trick a monkey like you?" Li Yi said, "But how did you, a monkey, see through my invisibility? My invisibility is not a great magic, but it is not something that monsters can see through."

"Before I came to the palace, I practiced in the mountains, looking at the sun during the day and the moon at night. Over time, my eyes changed and I can see through many magic spells." The white ape said, "Coupled with the exquisite swordsmanship I learned, many monsters are no match for me."

"So that's how it is. The sun and the moon have trained your eyes, no wonder they are so extraordinary." Li Yi nodded slightly.

This method of practice should be an inadvertent way of practicing a certain magic. If it is improved, it may be a new Taoist magic. His invisibility technique was just learned from the Taoist magic book, so it is normal that the white ape's eyes saw through it.

"But your swordsmanship is not that good. It can't be considered exquisite. It can only be said to be barely usable." Li Yi then commented.

The white ape said: "The Taoist priest also knows swordsmanship."

"Know a little bit."

Li Yi stretched out his hand and a sword energy appeared, instantly cutting through the air and smashing a rockery. Then the sword energy rushed into the sky and disappeared.

The white ape took a look and its pupils shrank. It was shocked to see the rockery being cut like tofu. It had no time to react to the sword. If it was hit, its head would be chopped off in an instant and it would die on the spot.

"This, is this a flying sword?" it said in shock.

Li Yi said: "It's not a flying sword, it's sword energy. How come someone here can fly a sword?"

He didn't expect that in this world where people become gods through worshipping incense, there are also people who know how to fly swords. Isn't that a method used by the immortal cultivators of the Xuanxian Continent?

"There is a Taoist priest invited by the prince who knows how to fly swords. He can refine a sword into a sword pill and swallow it into his stomach. He only needs to spit it out and it will turn into a flying sword and fly out instantly. It is indestructible." said the white ape.

It seems that the Taoists in this world do have some skills, but I don’t know how their sword balls compare to the spiritual flying swords of the immortal cultivators.

"But I also know how to use the flying sword you mentioned." Li Yi then smiled softly, "But that spell is not very powerful, so I don't use it very often."

He only needs to circulate the golden energy in his lungs and exhale it casually, and it will turn into a flying sword. As for how powerful it is, he has never tried it.

"Master, you are indeed a master. You know so many magic spells. Why don't you show off a few of your skills at the banquet tonight? Maybe you will be appreciated by the prince, and then you will enjoy endless wealth and glory." At this time, the white ape was like an old broker, trying to win Li Yi over to the palace.

"Haha, I do want to enjoy wealth and glory, but I haven't finished my big things yet, so I have to run around." Li Yi said with a smile.

However, the commotion here seemed to have attracted the attention of others, and two patrolling soldiers came over after hearing the noise.

"White Ape, who are you talking to? Is there a thief in your house?" asked a soldier.

The white ape's eyes turned, and he saw that the Taoist had disappeared. He didn't know where he went. He said immediately, "There is no thief. I was distracted when I was looking at the sun and fell from the tree. I was cursing just now."

"So that's how it is. You should keep a close eye on it these two days. Something happened today. The government office in the city collapsed. I heard that it was done by a powerful demon. The demon is now missing. It would be terrible if he had entered the palace." said the soldier.

"Okay, I understand." The white ape agreed immediately.

After sending the two soldiers away, the white ape called out in a low voice, "Master, Master, are you there?"

"I am here."

Li Yi passed through a courtyard wall at this moment, and his figure appeared.

"Master, what kind of magic is this?" The white ape asked with burning eyes, scratching his head.

Li Yi said: "Wall-walking magic is just a small magic that is not worth mentioning. I am leaving now. Remember to come find me at night. If you are late, don't blame me for not teaching you magic."

Having said that, he turned and walked towards Yaoxing Tower.

"This Taoist priest has powerful magic and his aura is pure. He is definitely not a demon. The demon must be someone else." After watching Li Yi leave, the white ape recalled what the soldier said before, then shook his head. He did not think that Li Yi was a demon, but only that he was a master of Taoism.

"But I also want to learn the art of walking through walls. What should I do?"

Afterwards, the white ape scratched his head again, thinking about how to learn magic from Li Yi.

It rolled its eyes and looked at the old turtle in the pond swallowing the pearl, then walked over with a smile, holding the ancient sword.
