After the Skyfall

Chapter 940 My Own Guard Team
At this moment, Jidu led four heavenly generals to escort Li Yi to a new secret realm.

This is a secret realm that only the Celestial Race can enter. It is unique among the Boundary Ships and is second only to the palace where the Haoguang God Emperor resides. Normally, this secret realm is only opened when receiving very distinguished guests.

As soon as Li Yi stepped inside, he found himself in a boundless world. This world was divided into seven colors, corresponding to Yin and Yang and the Five Elements. Above were the sun, moon, and stars, and below were mountains, rivers, and lakes. There were auspicious clouds overhead and also a dazzling light.

The spiritual energy in the air was extremely pure, and it also carried a familiar aura.

That was the aura of the divine water from the heavens.

Just one breath was enough to wash away all of Li Yi's fatigue, energies surged, life force was restored, and even his primordial spirit was cleansed. If one were to cultivate by gathering energy in such a place, progress would be incredibly rapid.

If an ordinary person were to accidentally enter this place, they would be instantly transformed and live for a thousand years.

It turns out that the myths and legends on Earth were not false; there really is such a place in the world. When Li Yi first entered the Heavenly Realm, he already felt that the spiritual energy of the Heavenly Realm was exaggerated, but he did not expect that it would be even more exaggerated in this secret realm.

His gaze swept over the area casually.

However, within this secret realm, countless rare and precious materials emerged. These things would be enough to make countless cultivators fight tooth and nail outside the Heavenly Realm, but here they were like roadside weeds, utterly worthless.

Moreover, as soon as Li Yi entered the secret realm, beautiful women descended from the clouds, holding celestial fruits and wine, singing melodious tunes, and came to greet him.

These beautiful women are not human, but rather spirits who have attained enlightenment in this secret realm. Some are in their true form as nine-leaf lingzhi mushrooms, some as the essence of jade marrow, and some as the aura of radiant light.
Furthermore, after transforming into human form, their strength is not weak. Although they cannot reach the level of Heavenly Soldiers, they are still at least at the Three Flowers Realm, the Great Perfection Realm.

I wonder what those fairies on Earth would think if they knew they were only fit to serve tea and water in the celestial realm.

Stop talking about them.

When Li Yi first entered the Heavenly Realm, he was also chased around by a water-avoiding beast. If it weren't for a fortuitous encounter that improved his strength, he probably would have been dead.

"You may all leave now, so as not to disturb our honored guest's rest." Jidu dismissed the spirits to avoid disturbing the peace and then said, "Taiyi, please rest well in this secret realm for the next while. I will be guarding outside. Just let me know if you need anything."

"Okay, thank you very much." Li Yi said, "If the Boundary Ship reaches the Third Heaven, please let me know where I want to disembark."

“No problem, but if you want to leave the Boundary Ship for the Third Heaven, we’ll have to wait until after you’ve met the Divine Might Heavenly King. You’re now a direct descendant of the Heavenly God Royal Family, so safety is very important when you’re out and about. The Heavenly Realm is full of dangers, and even the Heavenly Gods have powerful enemies,” Jidu said.

“Okay, I understand. If I have the chance to meet the Divine King, I will explain this to him.” Li Yi nodded.

He understood that since you enjoyed the benefits of the Celestial Royal Family, you had to bear the corresponding risks and costs. However, having a powerful backer in the Celestial Realm was ultimately more beneficial than harmful.

As the gates to the Mysterious Realm of Heaven closed.

Li Yi looked at the sky and earth again, and said to the dragon girl beside him, "Let's rest here for the time being. I believe there should be no danger for the time being."

Dragon Girl Yu Chang nodded, and her gaze toward Li Yi was different from usual, carrying a hint of reverence.

Li Yi didn't say much. After giving a brief instruction, a cloud of auspiciousness appeared beneath his feet, lifting him into the air. Once above the sea of ​​clouds and confirming that there was no one around, he finally relaxed.

He formed a hand seal, gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, intending to cultivate.

However, Li Yi soon discovered that he had reached a bottleneck and could not make any further progress. Whether it was his primordial spirit, magical power, realm, or bloodline power, he had reached the limit he could currently achieve.

Unless one continues to cultivate the True Dragon Soaring to the Heavens Technique or the Five-Colored Divine Light Technique.

Mastering magic only increases combat power to a certain extent; it cannot break through to a higher realm.

“No wonder many cultivators struggle to break through to the Heavenly King realm after reaching the Heavenly General realm; so that’s why.” Li Yi fell silent, never expecting to face such a problem himself.

In the past, when he was cultivating, there were always higher levels to reach, so he didn't need to think too much and could just proceed step by step.

But things are different in the Heavenly Realm. There are no realms at all; everything is determined by combat strength. How far you can cultivate depends entirely on your own comprehension.

Fortunately, Li Yi cultivated multiple methods, giving him immense potential. If it were Xiang Xiangzi, Xuan Yuezi, or others who came to the Heavenly Realm, their path would be blocked once they became Daoists. What could they possibly cultivate further?
An enlightened being in the Heavenly Realm is at most a Heavenly Soldier, and doesn't even have the path to becoming a Heavenly General.

A top genius in a small world is just a celestial soldier in the heavenly realm; the thought is despairing.

"I have now blossomed my three flowers, but they are not yet complete. My body has reached its limit, and the flowers of magic power and life can no longer advance. If I want to enter the Heavenly King Realm, there is only one way: to fully open all 365 acupoints in my body and complete my three flowers."

Looking out at the end of the sea of ​​clouds, Li Yi realized a path that could lead him to the Heavenly King realm.

But he has only just entered the Heavenly King realm. All the acupoints in his body are open, and the Three Flowers are perfected. But what can he do? His path ahead has come to an end, and he sees no possibility of entering the Heavenly Emperor realm.

"Old Bi Deng is right. Only after I enter the Heavenly King Realm will I truly understand how difficult it is to become a Heavenly Emperor. It's not a path that can be traversed by hard work; there's simply no path to take."

He sighed inwardly.

It was precisely because he had glimpsed the Heavenly King Realm that he felt despair. Before, when his strength was weak and his vision was limited, he thought that achieving the position of Taiyi Heavenly Venerable was a piece of cake.

Now that he's calmed down and thought about it carefully, he realizes he's really just a frog in a well, croaking away. "I'll stop thinking about that for now and focus on getting to the Heavenly King Realm. At least I didn't get stuck at the Heavenly General Realm, so there's still a long way to go," Li Yi thought to himself.

However, the reason he was able to enter the Heavenly King Realm was entirely because he received the inheritance of a god in the Wilderness World, explored the mysteries of the 365 acupoints on his body, and combined them with cultivation methods to forge a completely new path.

Otherwise, he would have exhausted his potential long ago and wouldn't even have the strength of a Heavenly General.

Then, Li Yi looked in the direction of the dragon girl Yu Chang. He now understood why the mixed-blood Heavenly General Realm dragon girl was so expensive, because she still had one more chance to transform into a dragon.

If the Dragon Girl Yu Chang were to transform into a true dragon, she might be able to glimpse the mysteries of the Heavenly King Realm.

At the same time, he also understood why Emperor Huaqing liked to travel around different worlds. He guessed that he was looking for an opportunity to break through. Only through the collision of different cultivation methods in each world could he possibly comprehend something different.

How can the wisdom of one person compare to that of a world, countless geniuses, and the culmination of millions of years of nurturing?

After a moment of contemplation, Li Yi cleared his mind of distractions. Instead of cultivating, he continued to perform magic, fusing the True Dragon Soaring to the Heavens Technique and the Five-Colored Divine Light together to create his own Five-Colored True Dragon Force.

If we can't improve our cultivation level for the time being, then we should focus on increasing our combat power. In short, we should improve as much as we can.

However, just ten days later...

The Divine Might Heavenly King reappeared, and he also entered the Heavenly Mystic Realm, seemingly there specifically to find Li Yi, and he was accompanied by many people.

There were celestial generals from the Celestial Clan, and another unfamiliar Celestial King.

The appearance of these powerful figures immediately alarmed Li Yi, who was performing magic at the top of the cloud sea. He followed the aura and immediately guessed what was going on.

It seems that his identity as a direct descendant of the Celestial Royal Family has been confirmed, and the corresponding benefits are about to begin.

now.

The Divine King flew over first and said with a smile, "Taiyi, your bloodline has been engraved in the genealogy of the Heavenly God Royal Family. The royal family has accepted you and given you the treatment due to a direct descendant of the Heavenly God Royal Family."

"You currently have a guard team of ten Heavenly Generals, and the Cold Mountain Heavenly King who commands this guard team. Of course, all expenses of this guard team are covered by the Heavenly God Royal Family. If you feel that the number of people is too small and you want to increase the number, you can apply to the Heavenly God Royal Family, but you will have to pay the guard fee yourself."

The Divine Might Heavenly King first gave a brief explanation of the situation.
Li Yi nodded slightly after hearing this.

As Hua Qing had said, the direct descendants of the Celestial God Royal Family received extremely high treatment, including their own team of Celestial Generals as guards and a Celestial King-level expert.

"Furthermore, this is the divine armband that you, as a direct descendant of the royal family, should possess." The Divine Might Heavenly King took out another item.

It is a radiant ring with seven colors, extremely dazzling.

"This Celestial Armband is only worn by members of the Celestial Royal Family. The direct descendants wear a seven-colored one. It is both a Celestial King Weapon and a symbol of status. Moreover, it contains its own space, holding all the resources you are entitled to this time. Furthermore, it also contains a Heavenly Emperor's power and three Heavenly King's powers, which can help you escape danger and save your life in a critical moment."

The Divine King of Heavenly Might gave a detailed introduction to this item and taught Li Yi how to activate the power of the Heavenly King and the power of the Heavenly Emperor within the Heavenly God Arm Ring.

"This is truly a fine item." Li Yi exclaimed in amazement after accepting the Celestial Armlet.

It sealed away a portion of the Heavenly Emperor's power.

Wouldn't that mean they could do whatever they wanted in the heavens?

Sure enough, having a powerful backer makes all the difference; everyone else would avoid him if they saw him wearing the Celestial Armlet.

In addition, Li Yi also saw that the inner space of the Heavenly God Arm Ring was filled with a lot of resources. These things were all recorded in a book. He glanced at it and saw that there were 100 catties of Nine Heavens Divine Water alone.

Of course, this hundred catties of Nine Heavens Divine Water was not a resource distributed normally, but rather the first reward Li Yi received upon returning to the Heavenly God Royal Family.

From now on, you can receive a resource every twenty years.

If you forget to collect them, you can collect them all at once later. There is no such thing as an expired collection. In addition, if a member of the royal family becomes a Heavenly King, the treatment will be even better, and the number of guards will also increase.

"Is this the treatment of a rich second-generation in the Heavenly Realm?" Li Yi was inexplicably moved at this moment, realizing that he would one day receive such treatment.

I've always been a lone cultivator, and everything I have is the result of hard work. Now, this situation is finally coming to an end.

"Taiyi, these things are not the most important. The most important thing is the wondrous method passed down by the Heavenly God Royal Family." Suddenly, the Divine Might Heavenly King became serious.

Money and wealth, no matter how much you have, are not rare.

However, as a member of the Celestial Royal Family, Li Yi was qualified to inherit the legacy.

"The secret method of inheritance?" Li Yi immediately put aside his various thoughts and became serious: "Please enlighten me, Heavenly King."
