After the Skyfall

Chapter 981 Chickens and dogs ascend to heaven
The passing of the nine great immortals means that from now on, the Xuanxian Continent will no longer have top-tier combat power. At most, the remaining forces will be at the level of True Immortals, but Earth is currently capable of dealing with enemies of this level.

"Why not kill them all? There's no need to leave a trace of their primordial spirit so they can have the opportunity to reincarnate across realms. It might cause trouble in the future." Xiang Xiangzi, standing to the side, still preferred to eliminate the threat completely.

Li Yi said, "How long does it take for a primordial spirit to re-cultivate to the Xuanxian level? Not to mention whether they can survive after their primordial spirit crosses realms. Even if they want to take revenge in the future, they have to consider the strength of Earth at that time. I can't possibly wipe out all my enemies."

"If you're worried about the return of the Xuanxian for revenge, you should worry about the day when those Zhenxian break through to the Xuanxian realm. In a lifetime of cultivation, you'll have countless enemies. What you need to do is not to eliminate every enemy, but to make yourself stronger, so that your enemies can't reach you."

“That makes sense,” Xiang Xiangzi nodded.

"Let's go, the matter of the Xuanxian Continent is settled." After saying this, Li Yi took a step forward with the two fairy maidens, returned to Earth, and then went to another world.

This is the world.

This is also the first world that Li Yi has crossed over to.

In this world, he became an apprentice and learned martial arts, which was the starting point of his cultivation and had a great impact on his life. Even now, the blood of a martial artist still flows in Li Yi's veins.

However, this world has scarce spiritual energy, making cultivation impossible. Therefore, martial arts, which tap into the potential of the human body, evolved.

Li Yi stood in the sky above the four seas and eight continents. He took out a star core from the Heavenly God Arm Ring, and then, in the same manner, he drove it into the core of this world, leaving behind a Heavenly King's power to protect it and prevent it from being stolen.

After the star core is buried in the Earth's core, the spiritual energy of this world will slowly recover over time, until it eventually becomes a cultivation world.

He was looking forward to seeing how far martial arts would develop across the world by then.

"Is this a man-made spiritual energy revival?" Xiang Xiangzi and Xuan Yuezi watched in silence. She hadn't expected Li Yi to transform a world in such a simple yet efficient way.

Star core.

That is a top-tier treasure that can only be born after the destruction of a world rich in spiritual energy; it is the essence of a world.

“I also left behind a star core in the world of Dharma decline,” Li Yi suddenly said. “Although most of the cultivation masters have passed away, their legacy remains. Perhaps it can be restored to its former glory when spiritual energy recovers in the future.”

“While Taiyi’s actions are well-intentioned, the depletion and revival of spiritual energy is the fundamental principle of the universe. Is it not somewhat inappropriate to expend star cores and defy fate?” Xuan Yuezi said.

Li Yi said, "It's just these two worlds. I attained enlightenment in the world of Dharma decline and practiced martial arts in this world. Now that I have achieved success in my cultivation and ascended to the heavens, I naturally want to give back to this world. But it's just these two worlds. Other worlds have nothing to do with me, and I can't care about them anymore."

He wasn't the kind of person who would do good deeds indiscriminately; everything he did had a reason.

Li Yi then went to Sanyang City, a place he had visited before.

He came here only to settle some worldly affairs so that he could then focus on his cultivation in the celestial realm.

In Sanyang City, there is still the Li Mansion that he left behind. Although Li Yi does not come here often, the mansion is always taken care of, and the Zhao Clan Martial Arts School will also send some of its true disciples to guard the house for him.

The mansion also housed officials, maids, and servants.

Even the Eight Treasure Deer that Li Yi saved has been kept in the mansion.

Li Yi brought Xiang Xiangzi and Xuan Yuezi to the mansion.

Jin Dafu, the steward, along with his maid Su Qiao'er, Hua Sanjie, and other servants, immediately came to pay their respects.

"This servant greets Master." Hua Sanjie's beautiful eyes lingered on Li Yi.

This once-proud figure, who had seized two martial arts schools in Sanyang City in a single day and rendered all the martial artists in the city unable to lift their heads, has now reached a level she could never have imagined.

As one of the former heads of the three major workshops in Sanyang City, Hua Sanjie gave up her wealth and status and shamelessly joined the Li family mansion, becoming a bed warmer maid.

Using Li Yi's name, she benefited immensely, embarking on a path of cultivation and receiving unimaginable advantages. Unfortunately, she was too unlucky and short-lived to follow him.

Su Qiao'er, who was standing to the side, was in the same boat, but when she saw Xiang Xiangzi and Xuan Yuezi, two flawless beauties, she immediately understood.

How could we, mere mortals and country girls, possibly catch the eye of a god-like master?

"Jin Dafu, it's been a long time. Only a few years have passed, and your temples have turned white." Li Yi looked at the chubby butler and recalled some past times.

Jin Dafu hurriedly replied, "Master, you are a divine being descended to earth. I am but a mere mortal. More than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. How could I not have worked hard?"

"Has more than a decade passed in the blink of an eye?" Li Yi exclaimed. "Looking back on when I followed my master into Sanyang City, it feels like just yesterday. Time really flies by so quickly."

"I remember your name is Su Qiao'er, right? You were once a beautiful tea-serving girl, but now you've become a middle-aged woman. You've wasted your best years in this small mansion of mine. It was indeed my fault."

Su Qiao'er bowed her head respectfully, not daring to speak.

She knew perfectly well how imposing and extraordinary this man was, and given her status, she didn't even have the courage to reply.

"But Sister Hua the Third still retains her charm," Li Yi said with a half-smile.

Hua Sanjie hurriedly said, "Thank you for your care, Master. I have embarked on the path of cultivation and have now made some progress, which is why I am able to maintain my appearance and not look old."

Li Yi then continued, “Once you enter my Li residence and call me ‘Master,’ you are my people. I will naturally take care of you; it’s nothing special. But fate brings us together and fate separates us. Today is the time for parting. After this trip, I don’t know when I will be able to return to this place.” “Perhaps to me, you are just insignificant passersby in my life, but to you, it is a lifetime. As the saying goes, ‘When one attains enlightenment, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.’ Today, I bestow upon you a great opportunity. If you are able to leave this world and travel to the heavens in the future, do not forget that you are people of my Li residence.”

Say it.

Li Yi stretched out his finger, and a drop of Nine Heavens Divine Water condensed out.

For ordinary people, this drop of divine water from the heavens is an immense opportunity.

next moment.

Li Yi unleashed a punch, and in an instant, all the servants in front of him were sent flying backward. Their bodies were torn apart, and their mortal bones were forcibly blasted out of their bodies and shattered.

But the endless vitality, accompanied by the divine water of the Nine Heavens, reshaped his physical body and recreated the universe.

By the time these servants fell to the ground, they were no longer ordinary people.

But the obese and aged Jin Dafu transformed into a robust young man, while Su Qiao'er, now a middle-aged woman, regained the agility of her sixteen-year-old self, her body as delicate as jade, radiating spiritual light. Hua Sanjie, who had achieved some success in cultivation, seemed to ascend to heaven, her body shrouded in immortal energy, her cultivation level rising at an incredible speed.
"You have already attained immortality. If you embark on the path of cultivation in the future, you can make rapid progress in a day and become the founders of sects without a doubt."

Li Yi said slowly.

Xiang Xiangzi and Xuan Yuezi, who were standing nearby, were even more horrified by what they saw.

The methods he used to command heaven and earth were already terrifying, but his ability to transform everyone with a single punch is even more unbelievable. Just think how much time and effort Xiang Xiangzi spent reshaping his physical body back then.

But that's nothing compared to taking this punch now.

Sometimes I really envy these mortals who try to climb the social ladder. I never thought that Taiyi would actually send these chickens and dogs to heaven before he went to the celestial realm. Although we don’t know how they will cultivate in the future, at least they have gained immortality and endless wealth and glory.

However, despite her envy, Xiang Xiangzi felt that Li Yi's actions were not inappropriate.

If someone achieves success in cultivation but fails to benefit even those around them, then that person must be a heartless and selfish individual, and such a person is naturally not worth following.

Before Jin Dafu, Su Qiao'er, Hua Sanjie and the others could recover, Li Yi led the two fairy maidens out of the Li residence. He did not leave Sanyang City, but instead reappeared at the Zhao family martial arts school.

Today, the Zhao Family Martial Arts School is a behemoth across the world, with numerous martial artists under its command, many of whom are exceptionally talented, ranging from those from prominent families to those from impoverished backgrounds.

When accepting disciples, the Zhao Family Martial Arts School only considers three things: character, perseverance, and aptitude. The first two are the most important, but character always comes first, because Zhao Ge, the founder of the Zhao Family Martial Arts School, had experienced betrayal by his disciples.

When Li Yi arrived at the Zhao Family Martial Arts School.

Most of the disciples in the martial arts school did not recognize him, because he rarely appeared in the world. When he did come, it was just to make a brief appearance and leave a little opportunity.

But Li Yi is a legend of the Zhao family martial arts school. Anyone who has been here will still be recognized, since there are still some old people left in the school to keep order.

"It's Senior Brother, Senior Brother is back." The person in charge of the school is named Zhu Wei. More than ten years ago, he experienced the destruction of the Zhao Family Martial Arts School and also witnessed Li Yi's revenge when he stormed into Sanyang City.

Zhu Wei had even crossed realms, cultivated immortality, and witnessed the vastness of the world, but unfortunately, his talent was mediocre and he had no interest in venturing out. In the end, he decided to return to Sanyang City to take charge of his sect and live out his remaining years.

Upon seeing Li Yi again, Zhu Wei was very excited. He leaped out of the main hall and immediately knelt down in worship.

"No need for such a grand gesture, please rise." Li Yi smiled slightly and helped him up. "Master, is there any junior sister in this realm?"

"Reporting to Senior Brother, I heard that Master has gone on a journey across realms. I heard that my junior sisters were cultivating on Earth, but we don't know where they went after that," Zhu Wei told the truth.

After all, the world is vast, and he has lived in Sanyang City for many years, where he is isolated from information and knows very little.

However, he believed that this was his master's root, and that no matter where his master went, he would return one day.

Li Yi said, "It seems that Master is still as sharp as ever and as ambitious as ever. I originally came back to pay my respects to Master, but since Master is not there, then forget it."

He then took out a jade bottle and handed it to Zhu Wei: "Here are some precious medicines and divine water that I left behind. Take a portion for yourself, and give the rest to your master and junior sister. Also, pour some out and mix it into the well water for reliable disciples to drink."

Zhu Wei trembled and hurriedly and carefully took it.

He was a meticulous person and immediately realized that this item was extraordinary. Otherwise, his senior brother would never have given a word of instruction to provide it to a reliable disciple, because his senior brother was not a stingy person and would not care at all if he gave some ordinary opportunities to his disciples.

"Don't worry, Senior Brother, I will definitely handle this matter well." He then said very solemnly.

"That's good. The future of the martial arts school rests on your shoulders. Cultivate diligently, and perhaps there will be a chance to meet again in the Heavenly Realm in the future," Li Yi said with a smile.

Whether Zhu Wei understands or not, he will naturally understand when he drinks the Divine Water of the Nine Heavens, embarks on the path of cultivation, and becomes strong enough.

"Senior Brother, are we leaving already?" Zhu Wei asked.

Looking at this man who seemed like a god, he was filled with awe and admiration. The Zhao family martial arts school was where it was today, and he was where he was today, all thanks to his senior brother's support.

Li Yi said, "Don't worry, I'll come back in the future."
