After the Skyfall

Chapter 910 Hua Qing's Hometown
Three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Li Yi stayed in the Incense World to recuperate, while also waiting for the Heavenly Craftsman to forge the divine weapon he needed. After more than four months of recovery, his strength had indeed recovered considerably.

Of course, this was all thanks to the Purple Dragon Demon's help.

Even after devouring a six-thousand-foot-long true dragon, Li Yi's divine blood only recovered to 30% of its peak state, far from being fully restored.

The good news is that his primordial spirit dharma form actually made a breakthrough during this period, becoming more powerful than before and already possessing six petals. Once the flower blooms with nine petals, it will be perfect.

Of course, this is thanks to the help of red lotus and incense.

However, this is the limit.

The world of incense offerings cannot provide Li Yi with much help, because that is the limit of this world. If he wants to make a change, he must cross boundaries to find new opportunities.

"Go to my world, a true realm of cultivation where even demons and gods are nothing. If you want to recover your strength, you must jump out of this pool and venture into a wider world."

At this moment, Hua Qing's remnant soul emerged from within the knife coin. His condition was much better than before, because he had come to the world of incense offerings and received some nourishment from the incense.

"I have a feeling you're going to screw me over," Li Yi said, glancing at me.

"How can you slander someone's innocence out of thin air?" Hua Qing's remnant soul immediately became anxious: "I am pointing out a clear path for you. In your current state, unless you can hunt down a few demon gods, it is impossible for you to activate the regeneration of divine blood. But in a larger world, it is different. Your problem is a minor one and does not matter."

"You should have sensed it too. In these worlds, whether it's an enlightened being, a demon god, or a Xuanxian from the Xuanxian Continent, their strength and realm have reached their limit. Although you bypassed the realm barrier by cultivating multiple realms, the result is still the same."

"Without sufficient resources, you cannot reach new heights."

Li Yi fell silent upon hearing this.

Hua Qing was right. He needed new resources to improve, grow, or recover from his injuries. And the only world he had encountered so far was the Savage World, which could temporarily provide him with some resources to continue his progress.

However, for Li Yi to achieve the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, his divine body must fully mature, and he must complete the cultivation of the Divine Martial Path. Relying solely on a barbaric world is not enough.

“Right now, everything is calm. If you don’t seize this opportunity to cultivate across realms, you may be powerless to prevent a great calamity in the future,” Hua Qing’s remnant soul said again.

“Okay, you’re right.” Li Yi thought for a while and felt convinced.

Or perhaps he has nowhere else to go and can try to find new opportunities.

"Tell me, which world do you want me to go to?" he asked again.

Hua Qing's remnant soul said, "The name is not important. Once you get there, you will know how vast that world is. And as I told you before, you can't reach that world by crossing realms alone; you need to use sword coins."

"Fortunately, the Daobi (刀币) system is almost fully repaired now, so it shouldn't be too difficult to take you across platforms."

Then his remnant soul manifested, and the knife-shaped coin appeared. Accompanied by a burst of crystalline light, the void tore open, and an incomparably deep passage appeared before Li Yi.

"You're moving so quickly, are you worried I'll change my mind and not go?" Li Yi glanced at him.

"This is the way home for me, so I am very familiar with it," Hua Qing's remnant soul said with emotion. Li Yi looked at the passage. He did not sense any danger, but only felt that this spatial passage crossed one world after another, wandering through the gaps between worlds and finally leading to a completely new and unknown place.

Such a profound spatial gate cannot be opened by cross-border machines alone; it requires multiple cross-border attempts to even have a chance.

But the chances are too slim.

Every world is connected to other worlds, and it would take countless years to find the right path.

"Then let's go take a look, and while we're at it, we'll send you back to your hometown so you don't die far from home." Li Yi thought for a moment and decided to take the risk. After all, with the help of the Heavenly Craftsman, he had obtained two divine weapons, a suit of armor and a sword, so he could handle any danger he might encounter.

He immediately left some information, packed his things, and took a step forward, rushing directly into the spatial passage.

The passage seemed endless, but under the protection of the knife-shaped coin's radiant light, Li Yi encountered no danger.

soon.

He passed through the first world, a modern post-apocalyptic world where countless mutated monsters emerged, and survivors fought against them in every corner of the world.

Li Yi continued flying forward and soon experienced the second world, which was another cultivation world. However, for some unknown reason, it was full of demons and monsters, and the cultivators committed all kinds of evil deeds, harming people and killing people. The whole place was filled with chaos and evil.

Unable to bear it any longer, he unleashed a strike, the power of thunder transforming into a fierce tiger that leaped into that other world.

The tiger roared, slaying evil spirits in an attempt to save the world.

Li Yi's strike has the power to be preserved for a long time. He estimates that this tiger formed from divine power can exist for about three years before its power is exhausted and it returns to nothingness.

I just don't know if this will bring any hope to that world.

"There are too many worlds to save. I've been to that world. The imperial court treats human life like dirt, demons feed on humans, cultivators are greedy and lustful, and the common people are apathetic and indifferent. I once taught the Dharma to a scholar with a heart to save the world, but after that scholar achieved success in the Dao, he forgot his original intention and continued to act arrogantly and domineeringly, even more evil than other cultivators," Hua Qing's remnant soul said, looking at that world as if recalling some past events.

"Do you know why I've invited you to my hometown all these years? It's not that there aren't more outstanding cultivators than you, but that many people don't have the qualifications. They are greedy for wealth, lust, power, and fame, and they all fall by the wayside."

"So these people deserve to be trapped and die in this little world."

"Look at what you're saying. I'm also afraid of death and long to become stronger," Li Yi said.

Hua Qing sighed, “It’s different. If you were lustful, why didn’t you go for all the beautiful women you’ve encountered along the way? Not to mention those few stunningly beautiful fairy maidens alone would have been enough to corrupt most cultivators. If you were power-hungry, you should have been the emperor in the Four Seas and Eight Continents back then. If you were greedy for wealth, you wouldn’t have so generously distributed so many treasures to everyone.”

"Everyone has greed. The most important thing is whether you will be trapped by it. Cultivation is not just about becoming stronger, but a process of constantly breaking the shackles of the heart."

"If you can't break these shackles, your future achievements will definitely be limited. Doesn't the Golden Academy have many highly promising evolvers who cross over and never come back? They're not just afraid of death, but they're trapped by fame and fortune in other small worlds and are unwilling to move forward."

"Even cultivators in the Dharma-ending Age are like this. If the Dharma-ending Age had not arrived, why would they be willing to cross realms with you? It is because they cannot let go of their status as masters and will only compromise in the face of life and death."

Li Yi said, "You're full of grand principles; it's a shame you're not a salesperson."
