After the Skyfall

Chapter 846 Golden Skin and Jade Bones
Li Yi stayed at Chijin Mountain for a few days, handled some matters, met with the merchant chief Xiu Xiang and Nü Heng, managed Chishan City for a while, and then he left it to others. These trivial matters could not affect his cultivation, otherwise it would be a loss.

So on this day, Li Yi ventured alone deep into the Crimson Gold Mountains.

Following a familiar path, he entered the depths of the mountain. The closer he got to a certain place, the more he could feel a surge of vital energy emanating from it. Just taking a breath of it made him feel completely comfortable.

"Let's see if the divine blood can help me continue to transform." With this thought in mind, Li Yi returned to this precious land once again.

Everywhere you look, there is pure gold, and the surroundings are bathed in a reddish glow. A faint red mist seems to float in the air. Everything that is born in this place is a treasure.

Li Yi's Crimson Lotus originated from this, capable of nurturing the primordial spirit and protecting it from attack.

soon.

Following his previous memories, he arrived at a pool of water. The pool was crimson and emitted a scorching aura, as if the void itself was burning. However, the array set up by Xiang Xiangzi and Xuan Yuezi sealed off this aura.

“Divine blood.” Li Yi licked his lips and immediately recognized the object before him. Even though he was now at the Three Flowers Realm, he was still shocked by this pool of divine blood.

Moreover, this was diluted divine blood. True divine blood comes from a mass of flesh and blood, but Li Yi only forced out a drop with the Fei Mu Needle and obtained a pool of it. The remaining divine flesh and blood were sealed in this pool.

Now that so much time has passed, the divine blood that has seeped out from the flesh and blood of the gods is enough to fill this place again, and the concentration is even higher than what he obtained back then.

He planned to use this pool of divine blood to transform his physical body.

And that's not all.
Li Yi then took out a silver apple from the Crimson Gold Five Elements Bracelet.

This was taken from the valley where the god's bones were buried. He had sown the seeds of the golden apple tree and unexpectedly harvested a silver apple tree, but in doing so, he also revived the consciousness of the god who had been dead for many years.

"A fruit containing the power of a god, and a pool containing divine blood—these two things should be able to transform my body to a whole new level," Li Yi thought to himself.

He had to break through this bottleneck, otherwise his strength would stop growing, which was unacceptable to him.

However, Li Yi did not rush to consume the silver apple. Instead, he planned to first use the divine blood to transform his physical body.

So he built three more pools nearby, then took divine blood and filled the three pools in order of their concentration.

Li Yi knew the domineering nature of this divine blood. If he jumped in directly, his body would probably dissolve instantly, and he wouldn't have time to transform. Therefore, he had to proceed step by step.

Once the pool of divine blood was no longer of any help to him, he consumed the silver apple to obtain the divine power of the gods.

soon.

Li Yi entered the first pool of divine blood. As soon as he entered, his skin began to melt, and his divine blood seemed to boil. An intense pain instantly filled his entire body.

However, he was already experienced with this, and he did not have a masochistic habit. He immediately separated his primordial spirit from his body and shielded himself from the pain.

He was like an observer, watching his physical body transform while simultaneously absorbing the vast amount of life essence from this precious land and channeling it into his body, allowing it to repair itself at an extremely rapid pace.

"Is the first drop of divine blood from the pool already so domineering? It seems my physical purity is still insufficient, far inferior to that of the Northern Wilderness Lord," Li Yi thought to himself.

Although his physical body was very strong, it was still not enough compared to other cultivators in this wild world.

After all, Li Yi has had very little time to temper his physical body, so it's not surprising that this has become a weakness.

Li Yi's primordial spirit avatar was watching the changes in his physical body. What he needed to do now was to ensure that his physical body could be bathed in divine blood and not die. If the power of the divine blood exceeded the limit that his physical body could withstand, he would immediately control his physical body to leave the pool.

Fortunately.

The cultivation started off smoothly. His body withstood the power of the first pool of divine blood. Although he was being eroded by the domineering power, Li Yi's body was also absorbing life essence to repair itself.

Back and forth.

Li Yi's physical body was undergoing a rapid transformation.

He spent a full month in the first pool. After a month, although the divine blood in the pool still had power, it could no longer have any effect on Li Yi's physical body.

This signifies the successful completion of the first step of the spiritual practice.

Li Yi's primordial spirit immediately returned to his physical body. After experiencing it for a while, he was pleasantly surprised.

With a single grasp, terrifying power explodes; a single swing of the arm can shake a mountain.

"What terrifying power! Such an effect after only one month of transformation." Li Yi took a deep breath, his silver divine blood surging like thunder within him, and his breath seemed to carry the sounds of wind and thunder.

What flowed through his body was no longer blood, but the condensed power of lightning, radiating a silvery glow.

Besides.

The limitations on Li Yi's physical magical power were broken, and he felt that he could continue to open up acupoints to accommodate more magical power.

But in no hurry.

Opening acupoints is a very long process. It is best to rely on the power of incense for this part of the practice, so that there is no risk and the opening of acupoints will be faster.

"Enter the second pool of divine blood." Not content with this small achievement, Li Yi leaped into the second pool of divine blood.

The second pool of divine blood is even more domineering.

The moment Li Yi entered, his entire body burst into flames with a roar. This flame was no ordinary fire, but a fire of almost pure energy, golden in color, which stirred another bloodline power within his body. That was the bloodline of the Golden Dragon from the Dark World.

The golden flames burned more and more fiercely until the entire pool of blood was ignited.

Li Yi's primordial spirit dharma form quickly moved ten feet away, but he stared intently at the changes in his physical body in the pool of water. Faced with this domineering power, he could clearly see that his physical body seemed to be melting.

But with the support of abundant life energy, this body, which was originally dissolving, began to recover.

"Won't it cremate itself?" Li Yi's primordial spirit avatar used the Great Art of Gathering Qi from Heaven and Earth to compress the massive amount of life essence from this treasure land into his physical body, hoping that his body could withstand the domineering power of the second pool of divine blood.

If he accidentally ruins his physical body, he will have to use a spare body, but this will severely reduce his strength.

Because most of Li Yi's combat power lies in his physical body, not his primordial spirit.

For cultivators, it doesn't matter; even if their physical body is destroyed, it's fine. For them, condensing a physical body is as simple as eating and drinking, and it has very little impact on their strength.

This is why different methods of spiritual practice exist.

Fortunately.

After three days of observation, Li Yi found that his physical body, supported by a massive amount of life essence, had not been melted but had withstood the tempering of the second pool of divine blood, which made him breathe a slight sigh of relief.

Just keep going until your physical body is no longer damaged; then the second step of cultivation is complete.

It was the tenth day.

Li Yi saw that his physical body was no longer flesh-colored; his muscles were golden yellow, and his bones were silver, crystal clear, like a beautiful silver-white jade.

"This is true golden skin and jade bones," Li Yi exclaimed in amazement.

Although his primordial spirit did not return to his physical body, he could sense just how terrifying this physical body was, as if it were the body of a true god, capable of immortality for ten thousand years.

However, this transformation has only just begun, and there are still many areas that have not yet been completely transformed into a body of gold and jade.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed.

Li Yi's primordial spirit form reduced the blessing of life essence, but he did not take it lightly. Judging from the rate at which the divine essence was reduced, it would take three months to completely complete the tempering.

And his estimate was indeed correct.

In the second month, Li Yi reduced the amount of life essence he received by more than half, and his physical body was still undergoing transformation.

At this moment, golden light began to emerge from Li Yi's skin, and his silver bones, which resembled beautiful jade, began to radiate a unique brilliance, seemingly possessing immortality. Furthermore, his bones seemed to automatically absorb the surrounding spiritual energy and life essence to replenish themselves.

This means that his physical body not only possesses amazing defensive capabilities, but also terrifying regenerative abilities.

By the third month...

Li Yi's primordial spirit completely interrupted the infusion of life essence, but the golden fire in the pool of divine blood was still burning. However, his physical body was not damaged. The scorching golden fire seemed to have become a part of his body and did not cause him any harm.

"The true golden skin and jade bones have been cultivated."

As Li Yi's primordial spirit returned to his physical body and he sensed the new changes within himself, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

That's right.

Only a physical body like this is worthy of the strength to cultivate multiple methods.

Li Yi made a grabbing motion in the air, and a piece of crimson gold landed in his hand, which he then squeezed tightly.

boom!
A dull thud echoed, shaking the void. He had actually crushed the piece of crimson gold, yet his hand remained completely unharmed.

In other words, Li Yi's physical body can now withstand the effects of a crimson gold artifact without suffering any damage.

And this is only the second transformation.

There is a third pool of divine blood waiting for him.

"Now that I possess such a powerful body with golden skin and jade bones, I really can't imagine how terrifying the true gods would be." The more Li Yi progressed, the more awe he felt for the gods of this world.

"Complete the tempering of the third mouthful of divine blood in one go."

Although he has made great progress, he is not satisfied with this and wants to continue to transform.

However, Li Yi was not in a hurry. Instead, he chose to take a nap and rest for a few days.

Three days later, Li Yi did not hesitate and immediately jumped into the third pool of divine blood.

To his surprise, he did not feel any pain when he entered the third pool; instead, he felt an inexplicable sense of comfort.

However, Li Yi soon sensed that something was wrong.

His skin was oozing silver and gold blood.

His divine blood was forcibly squeezed out by the divine blood in the pool.
