After the Skyfall

Chapter 923 Dragon Palace Treasure Pavilion
With the intention of escorting Hua Qing back to his hometown, Li Yi chose to stay in the Heavenly Realm for a while longer. Of course, escorting Hua Qing was only one of his purposes.

He also wanted to use the resources of the celestial realm to improve himself.

If all else fails, bringing back some local specialties from the celestial realm would be good. At least it could help friends and family on Earth. We can't just go back empty-handed.

His figure transformed into a purple bolt of lightning, flashing across the sky at an incredibly terrifying speed. The deafening thunder resounded through the heavens, instantly attracting the attention of many living beings.

"Is the heavens about to send off?"

Sensing such power, some knowledgeable creatures were all terrified and dared not provoke it.

The Celestial Realm is vast, and a Celestial General-level combatant is already considered a master in their own right. After all, not every place is teeming with powerful individuals. For example, the edge of the Ruins of Return is a relatively barren place.

Even though it is barren, it is still a treasure land for cultivation, where all kinds of creatures gather. However, it is still not an easy thing to have the combat power of a Heavenly General.

Therefore, Li Yi's current strength is enough to qualify him to roam the Heavenly Realm.

But that's about it.

"This world is indeed vast and boundless. This area alone is enough to make it difficult for cultivators to leave in their entire lives." Li Yi looked at the endless coastline and the many creatures that live by the sea and couldn't help but sigh.

He transformed into lightning and sped away, feeling as if he were trapped, no matter how he flew, the scenery around him remained largely the same.

The only change was that the creatures in the vicinity began to change significantly.

At first, Li Yi saw a group of half-human, half-fish creatures living by the sea. Later, they turned into a group of humans with different hair and eyes. Then, he saw many demons who had taken human form.
It is evident that in each region, a race established a kingdom and settled there.

After flying for about seven days and seven nights, Li Yi finally saw a large city where cultivators gathered. In the distance, immortal mountains and precious buildings were nestled in the sea of ​​clouds, stretching endlessly.

"The Land of the Setting Sun".

Li Yi recalled the celestial map that Hua Qing had shown him. On that huge map, there was a very inconspicuous mark that said there was a kingdom of cultivators on the shore of the Sea of ​​Return to Nothingness, called the Kingdom of Sunset.

But what is a small place on the map is no less than a world in Li Yi's eyes.

"There should be a Boundary Ship here," Li Yi thought to himself.

Although we passed through many large cities along the way, only cultivation kingdoms like these have the ability to build boundary ships to cross boundaries; small places don't have such things.

"Oh, you've arrived in the Land of Sunset so quickly? Your speed is impressive. It seems that you're quite different after recovering your strength following this fortuitous encounter." Hua Qing also woke up at this moment. He yawned, as if he had taken a nap.

"Have you been here before?" Li Yi asked.

Hua Qing said, "Who would come to such a remote and dangerous place as the Sea of ​​Return to Nothingness if they've never been here before? But don't worry, there are definitely World Ships here. A kingdom that can be recorded on the Heavenly Realm map can't be bad no matter what."

Li Yi nodded slightly, then concealed his aura, no longer so blatant, and quickly flew towards the Kingdom of Sunset.

Several hours later, he entered the outer perimeter of this land of sunset.

The area was already quite lively, with cultivators from all directions converging on this place, coming and going. Various flying vehicles appeared, and various creatures danced in the sea of ​​clouds, including dragons pulling carts, snails flapping their wings, and various strange beasts with the bloodline of true dragons. Even true dragons could be seen occasionally.

"I guess the Rakshasa clan bought their dragon boats here before." Li Yi saw a spaceship that looked somewhat similar to the Rakshasa clan's and roughly understood what was going on.

"If you're going to be traveling for a long time, it's best to have a boat or a mount, so you can use the time on the road to cultivate."

He then realized why there were so many carriages in this celestial realm.

"Moreover, the cultivators who can come to the Sunset Kingdom are all quite powerful, and at least they are led by a Heavenly General level expert." Li Yi saw a group of cultivators passing by.

Those cultivators were all blue-skinned aliens. The leader was a Heavenly General-level expert wearing fish-scale armor, followed by several Heavenly Soldier-level warriors. Of course, there were also some insignificant members of their own race.

Even if it's not top-tier, its combat power in the realm of demons and gods surpasses that of the Demon King.

This is due to the unique environment of the celestial realm.

"Don't rush on your way. Even if you find the location of the Boundary Ship, do you have the money? It costs money to ride the Boundary Ship in the Heavenly Realm." Suddenly, Hua Qing called out to Li Yi.

"Listen to me, let's find a place to exchange some money first. With money, everything will be easier."

“Okay.” Li Yi nodded. He thought that he still had some things inside his Five Elements Bracelet, which he might be able to exchange for some money.

I just don't know what they use as currency in the celestial realm.

soon.

Li Yi flew towards the group of alien creatures.

However, his actions immediately alerted the alien general, who gripped his spear tightly, his dark blue eyes gleaming with divine light.

There are no laws in the Celestial Realm; when you're out and about, you rely entirely on your strength.

“Friend, don’t be nervous. I am a human cultivator from afar, passing through Sunset City. I would like to ask you something. Is there a place here where I can exchange money?” Li Yi stopped a distance away and asked directly.

This is the fastest way to dispel the other party's doubts.

Excessive politeness and hypocrisy will only breed hostility. "Ahead, ten thousand miles away, lies the Dragon Palace," the alien general said coldly.

"Thank you." Li Yi clasped his hands in a gesture of respect.

With a flicker, he transformed into a streak of purple lightning and vanished swiftly.

After watching Li Yi leave, the others in the alien group visibly breathed a sigh of relief, clearly not wanting to have a conflict with a Heavenly General-level cultivator.

With the guidance, Li Yi quickly found the Dragon Palace Treasure Pavilion that the man had mentioned.

It was a magnificent building that covered an area of ​​three hundred miles and reached to the heavens and the earth. A real dragon was coiled around it, its mouth facing the gate. Although it was asleep with its eyes closed, it exuded a terrifying majesty that inspired awe in everyone.

"A true dragon of the Heavenly King level is slumbering in the treasure pavilion, also protecting its safety." Li Yi felt a chill in his heart.

"So this is the territory of the True Dragon Clan in the Sea of ​​Return to Nothingness." Hua Qing also felt the dragon's might and couldn't help but say, "Don't worry too much. The Dragon Clan is quite trustworthy. Setting up a treasure exchange here is reliable and much better than those small workshops. At least we don't have to worry about being cheated."

"But you must keep the purple blood in your storage hand hidden. It is the true blood of a Celestial Venerable-level being. Even the Heavenly Emperor would go crazy for it. If you expose it, there is no guarantee that the Dragon King will not suddenly wake up and swallow you whole."

“I know,” Li Yi said. “That’s why I concealed my aura after entering the Kingdom of Sunset to avoid revealing any flaws. Although I’ve never been to the Heavenly Realm, the rules in the world are the same. Do you really think I’m a novice who’s just starting out?”

Having traveled to many parts of the world, he naturally understood the importance of being low-key and cautious.

"That's good." Hua Qing nodded slightly.

He was willing to give so many reminders because his strength had not yet recovered. He and Li Yi were bound together by fate, and he naturally did not want to see anything happen to the other.

Li Yi quickly rode on a lucky cloud and flew towards the Dragon Palace Pavilion.

There were quite a few cultivators coming and going, but he was not particularly noticeable among them. After all, a human cultivator at the Heavenly General level was quite ordinary here. It should be noted that the Sunset Kingdom was a gathering place for cultivators, unlike the poor and remote areas that Li Yi had passed through before. This place could be described as having a multitude of powerful individuals.

As soon as he entered, a beautiful and graceful woman dressed in an apricot-yellow celestial robe came to greet him. Although the woman's appearance was similar to that of a human, her physical features were more like those of a demon.

This is a fish demon, but it has a token from the Dragon Palace Treasure Pavilion hanging from its waist.

"My lord, I am a maid from the Dragon Palace Treasure Pavilion. May I ask how I can help you?" the beautiful fish demon said respectfully.

Li Yi saw that having maids serving him was a privilege reserved for celestial generals.

Some celestial beings were simply ignored; they had to go to a special place to handle their affairs and wait in line.

"I want to exchange some treasures for some money," Li Yi said directly.

"Alright, sir, please follow me." The beautiful fish demon immediately gestured and led the way.

Li Yi nodded.

Following the fish demon, he was led to a secluded quiet room. The room was made of mica and crystal, sparkling and shimmering with precious light. Moreover, the aura emanating from it could cleanse one's mind and spirit.

"I wonder what treasures you would like to exchange, sir? Our Dragon Palace Treasure Pavilion has a uniform price for treasures from the Sea of ​​Return to Nothingness. We also have specialists to appraise and purchase rare treasures from other parts of the Heavenly Realm," the beautiful fish demon said with a smile.

Li Yi thought for a moment, then took out a star core and said, "How much money can this be exchanged for?"

"This is a star core. We buy by weight. For this small piece of star core, our Treasure Pavilion values ​​it at thirty Nine Heavens Jade Dews." The beautiful fish demon was clearly more than just a maid. She had undergone special training, and although her strength was mediocre, she was proficient in appraising treasures.

Nine Heavens Jade Dew?

Is this what money is in this world?
Li Yi was somewhat puzzled, but then calmly asked, "I need to travel to the Third Heaven on the Boundary Ship. How much Nine Heavens Jade Dew do I need?"

"The ticket from the Kingdom of Sunset to the Third Heaven is worth ten Nine Heavens Jade Dews," the beautiful mermaid said with a smile.

"I didn't expect star cores to be so valuable." Li Yi now had a general understanding.

The star core he took out was only a small piece, just to throw out a brick to attract jade and test the waters. According to its value, the star core in his hand was worth at least hundreds of thousands of Nine Heavens Jade Dews, which was a huge fortune.

After all, it's something that can only be obtained by destroying an entire realm, so it's quite valuable even in the Heavenly Realm.

With the confidence to spend,

Li Yi then asked, "Do you have any Heavenly King-level battle armor here? What is its value?"

If you're going to survive in the Celestial Realm, you need some equipment.

He wanted to use the money in his hand to buy some nice things to make it easier to travel.

"If you are looking to purchase armor, sir, you may wish to take a look at this." The beautiful fish demon handed over a precious pearl, which, once activated by magic, instantly produced numerous illusory images.

The above lists various weapons and armor, along with their descriptions and prices.

"It's similar to a 3D projection." Li Yi quickly got used to it.
