After the Skyfall

Chapter 974 Cross-Border Return
Inside the Heavenly King Palace.

After finishing the competition, Li Yi made some arrangements and then chose to go into seclusion, citing some insights he had gained. He had made a name for himself this time and overcome the crisis, so it was time for him to keep a low profile for a while.

Being too flamboyant is a path to disaster and detrimental to spiritual practice.

"It was truly dangerous. If I hadn't had the power of creation as my trump card, I would have already lost when that God Emperor's son came on stage." Li Yi wiped the sweat from his brow.

The Divine Emperor's Son awakened the Emperor's Light through his own bloodline power, but he did not; he stole the power from the Heavenly Venerable's blood.

Without this trump card, Li Yi probably wouldn't have been able to withstand that attack and would have been killed instantly.

The Heavenly Realm is indeed full of powerful individuals; even with such an opportunity, he almost failed miserably.

However, the fact that the Divine Emperor's son and the female Heavenly King were able to condense imperial light without the aid of external objects gave Li Yi a great inspiration. His bloodline had been baptized by the blood of the Heavenly Venerable, so he might also be able to condense his own imperial light.

If one can grasp even a fraction of this, it will greatly help one's next step in spiritual practice.

But there's no rush now. Li Yi needs to lay a solid foundation first. He needs to nurture divine blood and fill the Mystic Gate before he can study the matter of the Emperor's Light.

"With the help of the power of creation, I believe that filling the gate of wonders should not be a particularly difficult task."

He knew the process would be difficult, but he had a cheat code.

This time, Li Yi went into seclusion for a short period of one month. Of course, his time inside the Time Emperor Furnace was not just one month, but a full three hundred years.

Li Yi is currently able to grasp the limits that the Time Emperor Furnace can achieve.

One day outside is equivalent to ten years passing inside the Imperial Furnace of Time.

Without the passage of time, how could he have broken through from Heavenly General to Heavenly King in just two years, and even perfectly mastered the power of Heavenly King and comprehended the wondrous methods of the Zhou Tian Divine Demon?

The time spent cultivating in the Imperial Furnace of Time was exceptionally tedious.

Li Yi did nothing but continuously nurture divine blood and fill the Mystic Gate. This didn't require any special talent; it only required time to slowly refine it.

With the help of the power of creation, Li Yi's divine blood has filled three hundred mystical gates, with only sixty-five remaining.

But at this point, Li Yi had already sensed a bottleneck. The divine blood he was nurturing was very slow, even with the support of the Time Emperor Furnace. This indicated that his bloodline limit was approaching.

Unless he undergoes thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of years of refinement, he cannot complete the final sixty-five acupoints; he cannot achieve rapid mastery in a short period of time.

It requires a large amount of the Celestial Venerable's blood.

Li Yi did not rush to achieve quick success, but instead calmed down and made better use of his current power. At the same time, he also wanted to spend some time comprehending the Emperor's Light and understanding the power of the Heavenly Emperor.

"Let's end this seclusion here."

On this day, Li Yi stepped out of the secret realm. He was unwilling to sit idly in the Furnace of Time, and he also had the idea of ​​returning home.

He worried that if he continued to cultivate in the Heavenly Realm, he would look back and find that hundreds of years had passed on Earth. He thought it would be terrifying to see things changed beyond recognition.

Since I haven't been in the Heavenly Realm for very long, it's time to go back.

Moreover, there are some things that Li Yi also needs to resolve.

When Li Yi walked out of the Heavenly King Palace, there were ten divine generals guarding the entrance, and a Heavenly King himself was also present. This was because, at some point, many Heavenly King Palaces had appeared near his territory.

"It's the Heavenly King Taiyi, he's come out."

"Truly the Heavenly King of Taiyi."

Suddenly, many figures rushed out from the nearby Heavenly King Palace. They immediately gathered together, wanting to see this recently infamous and supreme Heavenly King.

At the same time, many Heavenly Kings shouted, "Heavenly King Taiyi, you are a direct descendant of the royal family, and I am a Martial Heavenly King of the royal family. Let me pledge my loyalty and follow you."

"I also want to follow you."

These Heavenly Kings were very excited to see Li Yi. They felt as if they had seen an imperial star rising, and they couldn't wait to pledge their allegiance to him.

Several female superstars even wore sexy armor and showed off their graceful figures, expressing their willingness to become Taiyi's superstar guards.

The Celestial Race worships the strong and is willing to follow them.

Li Yi glanced at it and quickly understood the situation. He slowly said, "This time I am going on a journey. When I return, I will recruit the Heavenly King Guard. If you are interested, you can wait for my return."

He used delaying tactics, not wanting to deal with these people.

Upon hearing Li Yi's words, everyone was overjoyed, and he took this opportunity to slip away.

Li Yi headed straight for the Divine Clan's treasure vault.

Since he was going back to Earth this time, he naturally wanted to bring more useful things with him. Moreover, his treatment had increased tenfold this time, and he could withdraw even more from the treasure vault.

When he arrived at the treasure vault, the old Heavenly King was still in charge.

"I need several Heavenly King Palaces, some human cultivation methods, and some Heavenly Generals and Soldiers," Li Yi said.

The old Heavenly King naturally wouldn't refuse. He also took five Heavenly King Palaces, selected ten cultivation methods for humans, and one hundred sets of Heavenly General Armor: "These are all ordinary goods. Is Heavenly King Taiyi sure he only wants these?"

What Li Yi wanted was indeed not valuable. Only the Heavenly King Palace was worth something; the cultivation method and the Heavenly Generals and Soldiers were just junk in the royal treasury.

"I'll take a look."

Of course he wanted something better, but unfortunately it was useless on Earth. For example, the Heavenly King Soldier was something no one could activate, so it was a complete waste.

Li Yi did another round of selection, acquiring a batch of junk goods—a variety of items, but in considerable quantities. After taking what he needed, Li Yi turned and left immediately without lingering.

They had just left the royal treasury.

Then Hanshan and several other guardian kings appeared.

"Taiyi, are you going on a journey? We are ready and can depart at any time," said the Cold Mountain Heavenly King.

Li Yi initially wanted to refuse, but then changed his mind: "Alright, then come with me on the Boundary Ship to leave the Seventh Heaven and go to a place for training. I need to go into seclusion to cultivate along the way, so if you don't have anything to do, don't bother me."

He immediately took out the Boundary Boat and then entered it with many Heavenly Kings as his guards.

Then Li Yi handed over control of the Boundary Ship to Hanshan Tianwang, instructing her to pilot the ship to the edge of the Sea of ​​Return to Nothingness.

He wasn't actually going to the Sea of ​​Ruins; he just randomly picked a location. Of course, this location had to be safe; he couldn't just blindly head to a dangerous place first.

"The Sea of ​​Return to Nothingness? I understand. Taiyi, focus on your cultivation. I'll handle any trouble you encounter on the way," said the Cold Mountain Heavenly King.

Li Yi said, "Don't rush on the road. Take your time and observe the situation in the Heavenly Realm more carefully."

"Taiyi, should we keep someone by our side to serve us?" Black Ice King then spoke up.

Cultivation is a lonely and tedious activity, so it would be a good thing to have a few women by your side to keep you company.

Li Yi was taken aback for a moment, but quickly understood Black Ice Heavenly King's thoughts. She was coveting his royal bloodline. However, he didn't really want to go into seclusion to cultivate, but rather to take the opportunity to leave the Heavenly Realm.

"No need, maybe next time," he said casually.

"If Taiyi needs anything, just call me and I'll be there immediately. You can also give orders to the other Heavenly Kings." Black Ice Heavenly King smiled slightly, then glanced at Seven Emotions Heavenly King and Frost Startling Heavenly King beside him.

The women of the Celestial Clan are just that direct, without any attempt at concealment.

For them, propagating the royal bloodline is also a very important matter. Moreover, according to many people, the Taiyi Heavenly King is suspected to possess the bloodline of the Heavenly Venerable, which is why he was able to condense the Emperor's Light ahead of time.

Although I don’t know whether it is true or not.

But that's enough to make all the female superstars flock to her.

Li Yi simply smiled in response without replying, then turned and entered a secret realm within the Boundary Ship.

He closed the gate, leaving behind a wisp of Heavenly King power, and then prepared to cross over into another realm.

However, Li Yi did not cross the boundary within the Heavenly God's Kingdom, because the God Emperor was guarding it. If he were accidentally spied on, it would be troublesome. He planned to cross the boundary when he was further away.

Is the Heavenly King Taiyi going on a journey?

Soon the news reached the ears of the Divine Emperor Zhenyue. He glanced at the Boundary Ship where Li Yi was, but did not stop him. He simply left a trace of his aura on the Boundary Ship.

This is a warning to the foreign god-emperor.

If anyone makes a move against this World Ship, then the Mountain-Suppressing God Emperor will personally initiate a Heavenly Emperor War against you.

Although Taiyi defeated the Divine Emperor's son, the Zhenyue Divine Emperor could not ignore the direct descendant of the Heavenly King and the seed of the Divine Emperor within the Heavenly God Clan. Besides fulfilling his duty, he had also promised to protect Taiyi in front of many members of his clan.

If it's too easy to go on a trip, problems will arise soon afterward.

Then his title of "Suppressing the Mountain God Emperor" will become a laughing stock.

soon.

This unremarkable ark sailed out of the Gates of Heaven and began traversing the Seven Heavens.

About ten days later.

Li Yi felt that the time was almost ripe while he was alone in the secret realm, and since the God Emperor should no longer be spying on him from such a distance, he immediately took out the knife coin.

The knife-shaped coin radiates divine light, making it truly extraordinary.

But he still doesn't know what it is. Li Yi can only be sure that this thing is neither a Heavenly King's weapon nor a Heavenly Emperor's weapon, and of course, it is even less likely to be a Heavenly Venerable's weapon.

He believed that this should be a rare treasure of heaven and earth, like his own twenty-four-petaled purple lotus, belonging to a kind of treasure nurtured by heaven and earth, with miraculous effects, but it was not a weapon.

However, it is truly incredible that this object can help people tear open the membrane between heaven and earth and cross boundaries.

"Walk."

Li Yi wielded his sword and slashed forward, tearing open a hideous gash in space, and even the indestructible membrane of the celestial realm was breached.

One gap is enough.

Li Yi immediately transformed into a beam of divine light, using the sword coin to protect himself, and directly vanished into the space.

He completely disappeared from the World Ship without anyone knowing.

Searching for the way he came, Li Yi traversed a crack in the world and entered another world. He did not get lost, but accurately found the way back.

soon.

Li Yi paused in this small world.

This is the world where Hua Qing takes a rest.

However, Li Yi can rest here from now on.
