After the Skyfall

Chapter 942 Rebuilding the Mysterious Sect
All races with powerful bloodlines face a common problem in the Celestial Realm: as a race reproduces over a long period, its bloodline gradually degenerates, unless a new Celestial Venerable is born during this time to reactivate the entire race's bloodline.

But that's almost impossible; a Celestial Venerable is a rare occurrence, perhaps only once every ten million years.

In addition, there is another way to slow down the degeneration of bloodline: the sudden appearance of a new royal bloodline within the clan, and this bloodline has not spread within the clan.

Take Li Yi's case as an example.

Therefore, even though Li Yi's origins were unknown, the Celestial Clan did not hesitate to recruit him, making him a direct descendant of the Celestial Royal Family. Even the God Emperor Haoguang was willing to publicly support and endorse him.

"Hanshan, I'll leave Taiyi to you. If you need anything, you can contact me. I'm always available inside the Boundary Ship," said the Divine Might Heavenly King, having finished his own business.

He was leaving to return to the Boundary Ship and fulfill his responsibilities.

Li Yi's safety was to be the responsibility of Hanshan Tianwang.

"Don't worry, I'm here, nothing will happen," said the Cold Mountain Heavenly King.

“Of course,” said the Divine King with a smile.

With his status as a direct descendant of the Heavenly Kings, coupled with a team of Heavenly Generals and a Heavenly King, he could practically roam freely in the Heavenly Realm, as long as he didn't go to certain special or dangerous places.

The reason Taiyi was left in the secret realm was due to several reasons, including the absence of guards and failure to obtain the inheritance during those ten days.

"Taiyi, if you have any questions about cultivation in the future, you can ask Hanshan Heavenly King for guidance. She is responsible for your safety and will also guide your cultivation. I'll be leaving now," said Shenwei Heavenly King.

"I pay my respects to the Heavenly King." Li Yi bowed very politely.

"Haha, it's quite rare to find a royal descendant as well-mannered as you." The Divine Might Heavenly King nodded in satisfaction, then laughed and left.

Li Yi dared not be careless. Even though he had joined the Heavenly God Royal Family, he was still all alone and dared not be arrogant. Only when he became the Taiyi God Emperor would he have the capital to be smug.

He should just play the subservient role for now, since any random superstar could easily crush him.

Li Yi then met with his guards.

Ten celestial generals of the Celestial Clan, five men and five women. The men were tall and robust, full of divinity, and incredibly powerful, each a top-tier divine general. The women were tall, noble, and holy, and their combat strength was also extraordinary.

Each of the divine generals was clad in armor and wielded celestial soldiers; they were fully armed.

With his own Celestial Clan bloodline, he can quickly defeat even enemies at the Heavenly General Realm.

"Indeed, the characteristics of each race are quite distinct," Li Yi thought to himself after observing for a while.

"Greetings, Taiyi." The ten divine generals all bowed respectfully to Li Yi.

Li Yi nodded slightly: "There's no need for you all to be so polite. I'll have to trouble you to protect me from now on. It's our first meeting, so I didn't prepare any gifts for you. Here's half a catty of this Nine Heavens Divine Water for each of you as my greeting gift."

Then, he took out five catties of Nine Heavens Divine Water and gave out half a catty of it.

Faced with Li Yi's actions, the ten divine generals were all surprised. They did not expect to receive a gift. Moreover, half a catty of Nine Heavens Divine Water was a considerable fortune for a divine general, enough to buy several divine general weapons.

"You're really generous, giving away five catties of Nine Heavens Divine Water so easily." Hua Qing secretly observed and exclaimed in surprise.

“How can I not be generous? People will risk their lives for you. Besides, half a pound of Nine Heavens Divine Water is a lot for each person. I was thinking of giving each person a pound, but I was worried about how to reward them later, so I decided against it,” Li Yi said.

“Yes, that’s true. Although you haven’t read many books, this is very much in line with your style. Sometimes being generous can indeed defuse many potential dangers and bring some unexpected gains.” Hua Qing nodded. Although he felt that Li Yi was being wasteful, he didn’t think there was anything wrong with it.

After all, this has always been Li Yi's way of doing things. Although this approach might make him a sucker a few times, it has also brought him many benefits, with many people willing to risk their lives for him.

The path of cultivation is long and arduous, unlike the short lifespan of an ordinary person. It often requires long-term consideration and cannot be rushed.

Spending money to win over these generals, even if you can't win them over, will leave a good impression and be helpful in the future.

"Thank you, Taiyi."

The gods did not refuse, but accepted half a catty of Nine Heavens Divine Water with a hint of joy, and at the same time, they gained a lot of goodwill towards this new direct descendant of the Heavenly God Royal Family.

"No need to be polite. Besides, you've come at the perfect time. I'm currently studying the profound methods of the Zhou Tian Demon God. It involves opening the mysterious gate and circulating divine power, which I don't quite understand yet. Fellow gods, you've studied for many years. Please don't hesitate to give me your guidance today."

Li Yi then took this opportunity to ask the ten divine generals about their cultivation methods, which would not only help them get closer to each other, but also allow them to become familiar with each other as quickly as possible through cultivation.

"Now that Taiyi has just returned to the clan, if there is anything we can do to help, please don't hesitate to ask, and we will never refuse." The gods all spoke up, and they were also willing to accompany Li Yi in his cultivation.

Establishing a friendship with a member of the royal family of gods would also be of great benefit to them.

After all, a direct descendant of a celestial royal family has immense potential and is destined to become a celestial king, and may even have the opportunity to try his luck at becoming a god emperor in the future.

"Very good, everyone, please follow me." Li Yi couldn't wait any longer and led the ten divine generals to cultivate.

Seeing this, the Heavenly King of Cold Mountain said nothing, but a hint of admiration appeared in her eyes.

As a direct descendant, one should focus on cultivation, improve one's cultivation level, and become a Heavenly King as soon as possible. Moreover, the five goddess generals assigned to the guard team this time also have their own tasks.

Once they become familiar with each other, they can also have children and leave behind this royal bloodline.

However, there is a long road ahead, so there is no need to rush this matter.

"Taiyi, the most important thing to open the gate of wonder is to find its location. You must not act recklessly, otherwise you will damage your divine body and hinder your cultivation." "That's right. The gate of wonder is hard to determine because among all things in the world, there are no two beings that are the same. Our divine bodies are extremely mysterious. Sometimes, in the same location, some people can open the gate of wonder, while others cannot."

"We can only pass on our experience to you; how you do it is up to you, Taiyi."

Ten divine generals sat atop auspicious clouds, surrounding Li Yi and explaining their cultivation experiences to him.

Although Li Yi had already opened up 150 acupoints, they were all the result of his hard work. He had made mistakes in opening acupoints and injured himself, so he had to recuperate before continuing.

Moreover, his bloodline power was not strong enough before, so the backlash he suffered was not severe enough. If Li Yi were to have a problem opening one of his acupoints now, he would probably need to recuperate for a long time.

However, after Li Yi obtained the inheritance of the Celestial Clan, he felt that he had to transform the acupoints into wondrous gates and cultivate all over again.

My previous training was very rough, and most parts were not perfect.

"After listening to your words, I realize that I have taken many detours on my path of cultivation. Now I intend to start anew with the wondrous path, and I ask that you divine generals protect me."

Li Yi spoke at this moment, and then suddenly shouted, releasing the technique of controlling size at will, and suddenly manifesting a hundred-foot-tall divine body.

Endless purple lightning coiled around him, and armbands formed from seven-colored divine light shone brightly. He could summon wind and lightning, exuding an ancient and savage aura.

"They are truly a direct descendant of royalty; the power of their bloodline is enough to make my heart tremble."

"Such power is far beyond what ordinary heavenly generals can match."

"Taiyi has rebuilt the wondrous gate; I wonder how many it will eventually open."

The gods will marvel at this, while also eagerly anticipating the potential of this royal descendant and how he differs from the normal celestial race.

"Profound and mysterious, the gateway to all wonders." At this moment, Li Yi's primordial spirit shone brightly as he deduced the method to open the wondrous gate.

With the previous acupoints as guidance, he reopened the mysterious gate with great ease.

Just one drink.

The first major acupoint in the body suddenly shattered, and then divine power reforged it, transforming it into an invisible door that reappeared. This door was incredibly ancient, with countless meridians and blood vessels densely distributed on it, and countless divine powers, magical powers, and divine blood flowing into it.

These forces filled the entire gate of wonder until they began to dissipate.

"Open again."

Li Yi shouted again, and the second major acupoint shattered, transforming into a wondrous gate. The power that had previously dissipated entered the second wondrous gate.

After the acupoints were rebuilt and transformed into wondrous gates, he discovered that they could contain even more magical power, divine blood, and divine strength.

This is the benefit of receiving a complete lineage; it's far superior to relying on unorthodox methods.

Subsequently, the third, fourth, and fifth acupoints broke and reopened one after another. In just one breath, Li Yi had already opened all twenty wondrous gates.

He then took a deep breath.

The surging spiritual energy from the celestial realm swept in, washing away the fatigue in his body and replenishing the losses from his cultivation.

After catching his breath, Li Yi shouted again, circulating his divine power and infusing it with the purple power of his bloodline. He shattered the acupoints and opened up a wondrous gate, clearing the way without any obstruction.

In one breath, thirty wondrous doors were opened.

Although the Mystic Gate has been opened, Li Yi has not yet had time to condense his divine blood, so the light at the Mystic Gate is dim, but the foundation has been laid and is just waiting to be completed later.

"Although it is said to be the reconstruction of the wondrous gates, the speed at which they have been opened is far too fast. Thirty wondrous gates have already been opened?"

"Taiyi, who has just returned to the royal family, was able to open up his acupoints without receiving any inheritance. Is this the terrifying power of the direct line? If it were me, I would never have been able to figure this out on my own."

"It's unimaginable how he cultivated to the Heavenly General Realm."

The gods will sigh with emotion, and also be quite surprised.
After closing his eyes and catching his breath, Li Yi took another deep breath and reopened the Mystic Gate. He could already feel that his magical power had made considerable progress.

This is only a small part that has been rebuilt.

But it's not enough.

There are still many acupoints in his body that need to be repaired, and it would be best to complete them all in the next few months.

Li Yi inhaled the abundant spiritual energy and began cultivating earnestly once again.

After reopening fifty acupoints, Li Yi's reconstruction speed slowed down noticeably because the acupoints were interconnected and required the circulation of divine power, so he could not be careless.

Otherwise, there is a risk of shattering the divine body.

Even so, Li Yi could rebuild ten acupoints in a single day.

At this rate, it will be completed in less than three months. By then, he will be able to learn how to arrange the mystical gates, deploy the killing formations, and master the true supernatural powers and techniques of the Celestial Race.
