After the Skyfall

Chapter 773: Years and Years
Li Yi explored in the rubble pile and finally stopped on a floating round boulder. The power of time near this stone was within his tolerance and more suitable for cultivation.

"Very well, this is it."

He stood on this stone, his body being eroded by time, but the speed was much slower than before. He roughly estimated that one day on this stone was equivalent to one year in the outside world.

Li Yi immediately prepared all the resources for cultivation.

First is the strange object that provides cosmic energy.

Dragon scales, phoenix feathers, and the heart gem of the world.

When three complete rare objects are piled up, a terrifying energy field is released. Just being enveloped by this energy will instantly destroy the physical body of an ordinary practitioner, and he will be directly corroded by the energy and die.

However, as a direct descendant warrior of the divine bloodline, Li Yi had an amazing physique. Coupled with his cultivation in the Lingshen realm and Chaoyuan realm, he was still able to withstand these four energy fields.

In addition to abundant cosmic energy, there must also be enough life essence to replenish the needs of the physical body.

The overflowing life energy in Tianyi Palace can be used at this perfect time.

With the elixir of immortality in hand, which can prevent the life span from running out and being eroded by the power of time, all preparations are finally complete.

Li Yi immediately sat down with his eyes closed, feeling the changes in himself after years of erosion.

The physical body is now transforming at a speed visible to the naked eye. This transformation is different from the previous ones. It is the natural growth of the body. The potential that needs to be tapped is being tapped. After all, Li Yi has only been practicing for a short time, and there are shortcomings and deficiencies in some areas.

At this moment, under the erosion of time, some invisible shortcomings are being made up.

With every breath he took, a large amount of life energy surged out from the Tianyi Temple and sank into his body. On his skin, some ancient marks in the shape of lightning were quietly emerging, and at the same time, some new acupoints in his body were being opened.

Li Yi already had sixty major acupoints. With the passage of time, the sixty-first acupoint was naturally opened up in his body in just two hours.

With the appearance of this acupoint, a new magical power instantly poured into it, and at the same time a stream of divine blood was once again produced.

But soon.

Li Yi's face changed, and a surge of heart fire suddenly emerged from the soul image sitting on the red lotus. This heart fire burned his soul, making him feel an intense pain.

"With one more acupoint's worth of mana, the five elements are out of balance."

Li Yi immediately realized the problem.

Previously, the magic power of the sixty acupoints and the power of the five elements were balanced, so the five qi were able to converge. Now, the magic power of an additional acupoint was added for no reason, which broke the original balance. The heart fire qi gained the upper hand, and with the blessing of the power of time, the heart fire qi of this one acupoint was enough to burn his primordial spirit.

The conflicts and hidden dangers of practicing multiple methods eventually emerged.

Fortunately, the precious red lotus blossomed, and although the soul's form was burned by the fire of the heart, the red lotus quickly repaired the soul with the help of the power of time.

Although Li Yi was in pain due to the increase and decrease, his life was not in danger.

"I must fill in the other four acupoints as soon as possible to restore the balance of the five elements of magic power." He said to himself and continued to practice.

However, under the burning of the heart fire energy, his soul became increasingly powerful. Later, Li Yi's soul was actually able to develop a resistance to the heart fire energy.

This change was somewhat unexpected for him.

However, he had just adapted to the burning of the heart fire, and soon, with the appearance of the 62nd acupoint, a new magical power emerged. This time, his soul felt waves of piercing pain.

The metal energy among the five elements was too strong, and Li Yi's soul suffered the pain of being cut by the metal energy.

However, as the precious Red Lotus continued to nourish his soul, although his soul was injured, it was not dangerous. Moreover, as time passed, the tearing of the golden energy gradually lost its effect.

However, with the opening of the sixty-third acupoint, the new five elements of energy are refining the soul.
This happens repeatedly.

Li Yi's soul seemed to have been tempered by the five elements over the years, and an unknown change had occurred. This change made his soul gradually immune to the damage of the five elements.

soon.

One day passed.

As time goes by, a year has passed.

Li Yi's physical body and soul have made a very obvious improvement. His magic power has become more powerful, his soul has become more powerful, and even his strength has been significantly improved.

He didn't know exactly how much his dragon and tiger power had increased, but he was sure that he had gained a lot from this day's hard training.

"continue."

Li Yi did not aim too high and continued to practice forcefully.

Master Yu Lian on the side also noticed this change in Li Yi. After all, in her opinion, Li Yi was becoming stronger at a speed visible to the naked eye, and only one day had passed.

Master Yu Lian subconsciously wanted to stop it.

If she continued like this, let alone converting Li Yi, she herself wouldn't know if she could be his opponent once Li Yi's transformation was complete.

But soon, Master Yu Lian gave up the idea.

If I take action myself, doesn't it mean that I am already afraid and have lost the fearless spirit of sacrificing my life to save the devil? If this is the case, my merits are lacking, can I still achieve Bodhi?
Master Yu Lian clasped his hands together, repenting for his previous thoughts, and at the same time allowed Li Yi to practice.

She felt that the stronger the demon Li Yi was, the greater the merit she would gain and the more complete her achievement would be after she converted him.

Time passed day by day. However, under the erosion of time, Li Yi sat on the stone motionless for several years. The five elements of energy in his body rotated, refining his soul, transforming his body, nurturing his divine blood, and his aura became more and more powerful and terrifying.

If Li Yi was just entering Chaoyuan Realm before, then he should be considered as the middle stage of Chaoyuan Realm now.

Although his progress was rapid, it was not fast if considered based on the time of practice. After all, he had been practicing continuously for several years, and he also had the Red Lotus to help nurture his soul.

"It's true that the further you go in the cultivation process, the slower your practice becomes. No wonder it took the Seventh Fairy hundreds of years of practice to achieve the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head and the Five Qis Converging to the Origin. If I hadn't used the power of incense and candles to cultivate the true, I would have successfully passed the Five Qi Realm. I'm afraid I'm still accumulating the Five Qi in my chest now." Li Yi thought to himself at this moment.

However, he is already very satisfied with the results achieved in just a few days.

Although the power of time is stronger in other places, it is beyond the tolerance range and is not suitable for cultivation.

However, even during the period when Li Yi was practicing hard.

Some uninvited guests came to this strange place.

Several figures arrived in an instant, their arrival was quite abrupt, but judging from their clothes, they should be cultivators from Xuanxian Continent. They were very powerful, at the peak of the Mahayana stage, and had already comprehended the power of space and were able to teleport.

"There is no mistake. Li Yi is in this area. I use the Heavenly Evolution Divine Art to read the secrets of the universe once every seven days. There has been no movement for some time, which means that Li Yi is not in this world. But just a few days ago, my Heavenly Evolution Divine Art responded, which means that Li Yi has quietly crossed the boundary and returned to Earth."

A Mahayana master with a long beard hanging down to his chest and holding a compass in his hand said with his eyes slightly narrowed.

His name is Tianji Taoist. He was entrusted by the immortal to track down Li Yi. He was determined to kill Li Yi, the unstable factor, in advance to prevent him from growing into a serious threat in the future.

"This place is very strange. I just scanned it with my spiritual sense, but it was directly destroyed by a special force. Moreover, the time here is disordered. Look at the plants over there. They flourish in summer and wither in winter. It happens in the blink of an eye. It's incredible."

Another swordsman at the peak of the Mahayana stage pointed his hand into the distance.

"The earth is experiencing frequent sky-shaking incidents, and all kinds of strange things may happen. It seems that Li Yi sneaked into this strange place and wanted to use the power of time here to reach a higher realm. No wonder this person's cultivation speed is so fast." Taoist Tianji said.

"The two of us are only here on the request of the immortal to find Li Yi's whereabouts. Now that we are sure that he is here, let's inform the immortal of the news and let him handle it." The swordsman at the peak of the Mahayana stage said in a deep voice.

He still had some self-awareness. After knowing Li Yi's performance on the battlefield last time, he thought he was no match for him.

Taoist Tianji nodded slightly and said, "But this matter is of great importance and we cannot be careless. We must confirm Li Yi's location before sending a message. If the immortal descends and cannot find Li Yi, then we will be in big trouble."

"Go take a look at the front."

He looked at the compass and continued to go deeper in the direction indicated by Tianji.

"I shouldn't have taken on this difficult task." The swordsman at the peak of the Mahayana stage couldn't help but complain.

"If this is accomplished, you will be rewarded with a piece of immortal material, which can be used to refine your own immortal sword. In this lifetime, you will hopefully break through and become a sword immortal." Taoist Tianji said, "The greater the risk, the greater the reward. There is nothing to complain about."

"That's true." The swordsman at the peak of the Mahayana stage felt much calmer after hearing this.

The two moved on.

Although it was their first time here, this Taoist Tianji did have some skills. Relying on some kind of deductive ability, he avoided dangerous places several times and kept approaching the direction where Li Yi was.

"Be careful."

suddenly.

The Mahayana swordsman suddenly let out a low shout, and his innate flying sword flew out violently, bursting out with a shocking sword light, and slashed towards a nearby ancient tree with unparalleled power.

The figure of an extraordinary creature was hit by the sword light and flew out instantly.

However, this blow that was enough to split mountains and cut through the sky did not kill the opponent, but only left a tiny wound.

soon.

The extraordinary creature that looked like a leopard and a dog, with two horns on its head, stared at the two people with cold eyes, filled with murderous intent.

"Move quickly, the opponent is terrifyingly strong." Taoist Tianji was shocked when he saw this and retreated quickly.

"Wait, there seem to be two people on that pile of rubble in the distance."

Because this sword cut through many obstructions, the swordsman suddenly saw two figures.

One of the figures looked familiar.

Exactly the same as Li Yi on the wanted poster.

"It's really Li Yi. He is here." Taoist Tianji looked back and noticed him.

However, the terrifying supernatural creature had already rushed over with incredible speed. With just one blow, it bit off one of Tianji Taoist's arms.

Blood splattered everywhere, Tianji Taoist felt pain and turned back immediately without caring about anything else.

Although he is a cultivator at the peak of the Mahayana stage, he is not good at fighting, otherwise he would not cooperate with a sword cultivator.

Upon seeing this, the swordsman swung out his sword again, forcing back the extraordinary creature, and immediately fled with Tianji Taoist.

After leaving this strange place, the two of them teleported away at the same time.

The noise here was so loud that it was naturally heard by Master Yu Lian in the distance, but she just thought that these were two lay Buddhists who had strayed into this place by mistake, and did not take it seriously. Li Yi was also practicing under the erosion of the power of time, and his perception of the outside world was very slow, so he did not know what had happened.
