After the Skyfall

Chapter 959 Cultivation of the Emperor's Furnace
"Li Yi, take advantage of this time to cultivate using the Heaven and Earth Bronze Furnace. You must break through to the Heavenly King Realm as soon as possible, otherwise this Heavenly Emperor Weapon will bring you endless trouble sooner or later."

"Although you are now a direct descendant of the Celestial Royal Family and have an extraordinary status, what the Divine Might Heavenly King said is right. Outsiders may not dare to make a move against you, but other members of the Celestial Royal Family may not."

“In the Heavenly Realm, strength is fundamental. For a Heavenly General to wield a Heavenly Emperor's weapon is indeed too ostentatious. Fortunately, it was the Heavenly Venerable's Decree. They don't know about the sword coins and the Purple Blood. Otherwise, even if you had ten lives, you wouldn't have enough to survive.”

Hua Qing then began to persuade Li Yi to seize this opportunity to cultivate.

Without breaking through to the Heavenly King level, relying solely on the strength of a Heavenly General, one will have no say wherever one goes.

“I know, and that’s exactly what I’m planning,” Li Yi replied. The reason he had previously shared so many benefits and advantages was simply because he himself was not strong enough.

Although they secured the lion's share, this does not mean they can rest easy.

If the other Heavenly Kings of the Celestial Clan make things difficult, even if the Divine Might Heavenly King wants to protect himself, he will be powerless to do so.

At that time, although his life will not be in danger, he will most likely end up with nothing and have benefited others.

Think of this.

Li Yi immediately found a secluded spot and set out the Time Emperor Furnace.

A massive bronze furnace, as large as a towering mountain, appeared before them. Within it, the yin and yang energies circulated, as if a world were floating within it, revealing an astonishing power.

Within the secret realm, many people saw this imperial furnace, and their eyes were filled with surprise.

This was a weapon of the Heavenly Emperor, extremely rare to them, and they were naturally filled with curiosity and envy.

"Everyone, this Heavenly Emperor Weapon has countless wonderful uses, but since it is my first time mastering it, I also need to explore it for a while. Once I have gained some insights, I am willing to share this imperial weapon with you all."

Li Yi addressed the crowd, both offering empty promises and trying to calm them down.

After all, if one doesn't gain anything from a fight, it's easy to feel dissatisfied.

But right now, Li Yi didn't have time to appease everyone; he needed to seize the time to take control of the Emperor Furnace and increase his strength.

Immediately.

Without the slightest hesitation, he leaped towards the Imperial Furnace.

"There is a place where Yin and Yang meet, and that is the most suitable place for your cultivation," Hua Qing reminded him, while also instructing him on how to properly use this Heavenly Emperor Weapon.

Following the instructions, Li Yi used the Twenty-Fourth Grade Purple Lotus to protect himself, manipulated the Emperor Furnace to slow down the amount of Yin and Yang energies, and then crossed the dangerous area to arrive at a special place.

This place seems to be a place where heaven and earth unite, where the sun and moon renew themselves. Creation is boundless, yin and yang rotate, and even as the years pass, one cannot feel the passage of time. Yet, here, a day feels incredibly long.

"What a wonderful place for cultivation." Li Yi felt that all the wonders in his body had been opened, and his soul and body were being refined by the Emperor Furnace of Time.

Although it cannot compare to the baptism of the blood of the Celestial Venerable, it is still extraordinary over time.

next moment.

Hua Qing also flew out. He looked like a young man, with purple aura concealing him, and was extremely noble, like a young emperor.

"I will also use this Emperor Furnace to cultivate until I reach the Heavenly General Realm. I will leave after that. Before that, shouldn't you return my things?" He reached out to Li Yi to ask for them back.

"You old scoundrel, would I embezzle your little things?" Li Yi then waved his hand, and several beams of light flew out: "This is the agreed-upon 50,000 catties of Nine Heavens Divine Water and 1,000 catties of Purple Blood. When you leave, I will also reward you with ten Heavenly King Puppets to help you rise to prominence in the future."

After accepting the gifts, Hua Qing laughed and said, "Not bad. Although you are inherently evil, you are still very trustworthy. Originally, I had higher hopes for Wang Hu and planned to train him to come to the Heavenly Realm. Unfortunately, he was not as skilled as you and lost to you, which is why you have such good fortune today."

"Alright, there's no point in saying more. I'm going into seclusion now. Before I reach the Heavenly God Kingdom, I need to find a way to disembark, otherwise being discovered will likely cause a lot of trouble."

He then took the resources and flew off to another secluded place to begin the reconstruction plan.

Li Yi watched Hua Qing leave.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, their relationship will come to an end here. Who knows when they will meet again in the Heavenly Realm? But after this near-death experience, it's believed that Old Deng will not make those same low-level mistakes again. It's only a matter of time before he returns to the Heavenly Emperor Realm.

"I also need to open the Mysterious Gate again, condense my divine blood, and step into the Heavenly King Realm."

Li Yi took a deep breath, then put aside all his thoughts, manifested a hundred-foot-tall body, and then absorbed the endless spiritual energy within the Time Emperor Furnace, guiding the Yin and Yang energies to his body, and opened the wondrous gate again.

One hundred and fifty wondrous gates are still too few. To achieve the perfection of the Three Flowers and break through to the Heavenly King Realm, one still needs to cultivate diligently.

As the Yin and Yang energies collide.

Li Yi felt his physical body undergoing another transformation. With the assistance of Yin and Yang energies, opening the Mysterious Gate became much easier, and his divine blood was automatically being refined, as if a pair of invisible hands were helping him cultivate.

"Is this the effect of the Time Emperor Furnace?" He even felt that his strength would increase even if he just lay here and slept.

Moreover, due to the circulation of Yin and Yang energies, time seems to stretch out here. It's just unknown how much time has passed outside while one year of cultivation here is equivalent to one year of cultivation here.

never mind.

He would be notified when the Boundary Ship stopped, because Li Yi's primordial spirit imprint had been implanted into the Emperor's Furnace, giving him a certain degree of sensitivity to the outside world. Soon.

Within the Imperial Furnace, thunder roared, five-colored divine light shone, purple divine blood boiled, and various strange phenomena occurred frequently. At this moment, a hundred-foot giant broke through its limits, its divine body growing taller again, to one hundred and ten feet, then one hundred and twenty feet. An aura surpassing that of a Heavenly General grew stronger and more condensed.

Once a certain threshold is reached, one can break through the Heavenly General realm and enter the Heavenly King realm.

“Li Yi was just rebuilding his cultivation before, and his potential had not been fully realized. Now is the time for him to truly show his strength. With the help of the Time Emperor Furnace, I wonder how far he can go.”

In another corner of the Imperial Furnace, Hua Qing sensed the commotion and couldn't help but marvel.

With the Zhou Tian Divine Demon Technique, Li Yi is no longer a threat to the Heavenly King Realm. With his potential and the purple blood from that storage bracelet, even the Heavenly Emperor has a chance.

Then, looking at the resources in his hand, he did not hesitate at all. He made a hand seal, and the Nine Heavens Divine Water in the jade bottle flew out, turning into a rainbow that enveloped his entire body.

At this moment, Hua Qing's entire body was radiating precious light, as if he were about to ascend to immortality.

If you want to take shortcuts in your spiritual practice, you will inevitably consume a lot of resources.

The 50,000 catties of the Nine Heavens Divine Water was his capital to turn his life around.

The reason why this item is so precious in the Heavenly Realm, and is even used as money, is because the Nine Heavens Divine Water has too many wonderful uses. It can regenerate your body and heal your injuries, strengthen your primordial spirit, temper your body, accelerate your cultivation, and can even be used to forge weapons, because a large amount of Nine Heavens Divine Water is needed to forge Heavenly Emperor Weapons.

Of course, if you are wealthy enough, you can drink it directly and take it for a long time. It can increase your cultivation potential and help you break through realms. It is the best elixir.

Therefore, the Nine Heavens Divine Water is an indispensable thing for cultivators.

Hua Qing was bathed in the divine water of the Nine Heavens, combined with the Yin and Yang energies, and having previously been baptized by the purple blood, so his strength improved rapidly this time.

His cultivation speed was so fast that it felt like he wasn't cultivating at all, but rather rapidly regaining a portion of his power from his previous life.

Just as Li Yi was immersed in cultivation, news of his obtaining the Time Emperor Furnace spread like wildfire.

The news quickly spread throughout the Three Heavens, clearly a message deliberately disseminated by the fleeing enemies. The imperial city, now in ruins due to the Heavenly Kings' War, also saw a surge of visits from Heavenly Kings in a short period.

Many of the Heavenly Kings were filled with regret at this moment.

If he had known that the last imperial palace contained Heavenly Emperor's weapons, he would have participated long ago. How could the Celestial Clan have gotten away with it?

In addition, there is another piece of news that has caught the attention of many people.

That is the reincarnation of Emperor Huaqing, who has now become Taiyi of the Heavenly God Royal Family.

However, most people were not interested in this news, because they did not care about a Heavenly Emperor reincarnated and rebuilding his cultivation. The person who spread this news naturally wanted to attract the attention of Hua Qing Heavenly Emperor's former enemies.

He hoped that someone with a grudge would take revenge on Li Yi, preferably by killing him.

However, these things do not affect Li Yi for the time being, because the people of the Celestial Clan have already left on the Boundary Ship and have now left the Third Heaven.

Even if your message spreads the fastest, you still can't intercept the Celestial Race's Boundary Ship.

However, the news that Taiyi had acquired a Heavenly Emperor Weapon also attracted the attention of the Heavenly God Royal Family. They knew that Taiyi was a recently returned member of the royal family, without any background or elders to back him up, and they also had their eyes on the Heavenly Emperor Weapon.

Just as the Divine King said.

Most of the Celestial Clan, even if they wanted to, wouldn't dare to mess with Li Yi, because offending Li Yi would be tantamount to offending the entire direct line of the Celestial Royal Family.

However, there is one exception: the direct descendants of the Celestial Royal Family.

At this moment, within the secret realm.

The Divine Might Heavenly King and the Cold Mountain Heavenly King gazed at the enormous imperial furnace lying between heaven and earth not far away, like a mountain, and discussed recent events.

"Taiyi's acquisition of a Heavenly Emperor Weapon is a good thing for our entire Celestial Clan. It not only enhances the prestige of our Celestial Clan, but also tells many people about the extraordinary nature of our Celestial Royal Family. However, every advantage has its disadvantages. It is still too much of a stretch for Taiyi, who is only a Heavenly General, to wield the Heavenly Emperor Weapon."

Shenwei Tianwang said, "I received a reply from Haoguang Shendi. The Shendi is willing to protect Taiyi, but he cannot stop the other direct descendants of the Tianshen royal family. If he wants to keep the Tiandi weapon, he must break through to the Tianwang realm. Otherwise, his Tiandi weapon will most likely be taken back. Of course, the Tianshen royal family will also give him a sufficiently substantial compensation."

"Hanshan, don't be unconvinced. Neither your branch nor my branch of the Celestial Clan can protect Taiyi. If we had enough power, we wouldn't have one of us acting as a guard and the other guarding the Boundary Ship."

Hanshan Heavenly King remained silent, knowing that what Shenwei Heavenly King said was true.

One Heavenly Emperor Weapon is enough to bring down even the direct descendant of the Heavenly King of the Heavenly Gods.

Although there will be compensation later, no amount of compensation can be worth a Heavenly Emperor Weapon. This thing cannot be bought with money. It requires a Heavenly Emperor to travel for many years, collect materials, and spend countless years refining it.

Although Taiyi cannot control a Heavenly Emperor Weapon right now, he will grow stronger in the future. As long as he has the Time Emperor Furnace, he will always be one step ahead of others in the same realm.

Even if they are both Heavenly Emperors, having two Heavenly Emperor weapons would be enough to intimidate the other party.
