The Post Sky Tipping Era-Chapter 1215 - 977: Leaving Behind Opportunities

In the grand hall of Dao Court Mountain in Tianchang City, numerous cultivation experts gathered.

The attendees included Enlightened Eastern Pole Venerable, Xuanzhenzi who achieved Great Perfection, Yuqing Taoist, as well as Yuan Yang Taoist, Shenxu Taoist, and Qing Fengzi who were in the Tri-Floral Realm.

Of course, Yun Feizi, Ling Yinzi, Wumengzi, and other former Immortals from the Heavenly Dao Sect were also present.

In addition, old acquaintances Wu the Taoist, Nun Liu, and Tu Daoist were in attendance.

Outside the grand hall, many other cultivators gathered, prevented by their status and capabilities from entering the base of the hall, they could only wait outside, longing for a chance to meet Li Yi.

On Earth, Li Yi’s reputation was formidable and legendary.

Several years ago, he led a group into the Demon God Realm, slayed the Purple Dragon Demon God, frightened away the Golden Crow Demon God, and forcefully seized a realm, granting Earth long-lasting peace.

Although Li Yi has vanished since then, for cultivators, a few years are a mere blink of an eye, no different than returning from a vacation.

Yet in these years, everyone has already sensed the astounding transformation in Li Yi.

Despite the restrained aura and sealed mana, the inadvertently revealed aura left Enlightened individuals trembling, as if an ordinary person suddenly found themselves in the presence of a prince.

The disparity between them could no longer be expressed with words.

"It has been years, yet you, esteemed elders, maintain your grace," Li Yi smiled and said, "Eastern Pole Venerable, are you accustomed to living on Earth these years?"

Eastern Pole Venerable laughed, "Quite tranquil indeed. Earlier, I observed changes in the heavens and earth: the moon was destroyed and subsequently reconstructed, then the heavenly pollution vanished. Was this the work of Taiyi?"

"The source of pollution has been dealt with by me. From now on, you can cultivate freely without needing to activate the grand array to isolate the pollution," Li Yi said, "This time I brought a gift for the Tao Court, which I believe everyone has seen."

"That is the Heavenly King Palace. Behind the gates lies a secret world, larger than Earth, with extraordinary Spiritual Energy that almost never depletes. It is a benefit to the elders of the Tao Court, who have supported me along my journey. Without you, reaching this point would have been difficult."

He did not forget his roots, leaving a Heavenly King Hall for the Tao Court, allowing everyone in the Tao Court to partake.

"You may enter the place, claim a space for personal use, and if any Heaven and Earth Treasures are found, feel free to take them. Just take care not to fight over them," Li Yi laughed.

The crowd, hearing this, was astonished and bewildered.

"Since Taiyi said so, I will take you up on this offer without reserve."

At that moment, Eastern Pole Venerable waved his hand, channeling Spiritual Energy from the Heavenly King Palace, which transformed into a drizzle, falling on everyone.

Instantly, everyone’s physique glowed, vitality sustained, Life Span increased, Primordial Spirit strengthened, and the Three Flowers began to blossom.

This was not mere Spiritual Energy but clearly the essence of heaven and earth, treasure medicine. Simply bathing in such Spiritual Energy brought about such transformation; cultivating in such a place certainly starts with Three Flowers Perfection.

Eastern Pole Venerable had long seen through the nuances, and with this gesture made everyone understand the value of Li Yi’s offering; it was far more than just granting a mere venue, ensuring no one undervalued it.

"Incredible! Is this still Spiritual Energy? After this Spiritual Energy baptism, my Primordial Spirit Flower blossomed again."

"My Life Span increased by at least sixty years, and my aged physique seemed to have reversed, filled with vitality."

"This Spiritual Energy contains Heaven and Earth Treasures, capable of bringing profound creation to people."

Numerous cultivators in the Tri-Floral Realm exclaimed in surprise, their eyes gleaming with excitement, tempted to rush into the gates immediately to explore the Secret Realm.

"It seems these years Taiyi ventured into an extraordinary world," Eastern Pole Venerable marveled.

While others were keen on the Secret Realm, his attention was on Li Yi’s experiences over the years.

This reminder stirred everyone’s curiosity about Li Yi.

Indeed.

Having such Spiritual Energy-rich realms, how awe-inspiring!

Li Yi laughed heartily, "Eastern Pole Venerable remains perceptive. I won’t conceal it any longer. The place I visited years ago was the Heavenly Realm, the pinnacle of all worlds, standing above all heavens."

He did not hide it, partly since there was no need, and partly because he is a Heavenly King, invincible in the Lower Realm, thus can afford boldness.

Heavenly Realm?

The crowd’s minds reeled, and curiosity amplified.

Li Yi stated, "Just as you surmise, the Heavenly Realm is an exceptionally unique world, vast and boundless, filled with myriad races, and of course, countless Heaven and Earth Treasures. However, it cannot be easily reached across worlds due to the Heaven and Earth Embryonic Membrane blocking it. I stumbled upon a path by chance to slip through."

"In normal circumstances, Earth dwellers, even millions of cross-border explorers, could search for thousands of years yet still might not find the Heavenly Realm."

"However, the higher the realm, the greater the danger, places with this caliber of Spiritual Energy inevitably birth multitudes of formidable beings."

He painted the allure of the Heavenly Realm while also highlighting its perils.

"Can Enlightened individuals sustain themselves in the Heavenly Realm?" Eastern Pole Venerable pondered over Li Yi’s words, then hesitantly asked.

"A roadside presence, walking around can suddenly find oneself captured as a slave or forced to mine." Li Yi chuckled and shook his head.

"Is that so?" Eastern Pole Venerable paused, as he had been on Earth for years and understood what roadside presence meant.

The cultivators in the grand hall were also astonished.

```

What a joke.

An Enlightened being on Heavenly Street is actually faring worse than a dog?

Li Yi continued, "In the Heavenly Realm, cultivators don’t have fixed levels, only combat power. Among them, the weakest is the Heavenly Soldier, followed by the Heavenly General, then the Heavenly King, the Heavenly Emperor, and the Heavenly Venerate."

"If an Enlightened being were to enter the Heavenly Realm, their combat power would be lesser than that of a Heavenly Soldier, without even a realm, and the difference in combat power between each realm is vast as heaven and earth. Particularly, the strength gap becomes even greater as one progresses."

"An Enlightened being inferior to a Heavenly Soldier, that’s truly like a stray dog on the roadside." murmured the Eastern Pole Venerable.

Unexpectedly, after cultivating for a lifetime and believing he had reached the pinnacle of the world, there was no further to progress, yet he never imagined a Heavenly Realm existed above all worlds.

His combat power wasn’t even as high as that of a Heavenly Soldier.

Heavenly Soldier, as the name implies, is just an insignificant foot soldier, probably a mere gatekeeper in the Heavenly Realm.

Even the Eastern Pole Venerable is like this.

Others felt even worse, knowing that their cultivation at the Tri-Floral Realm would render them mere ordinary people in the Heavenly Realm, almost like having no cultivation at all.

At best, they were just flying livestock.

Li Yi said, "I’m telling you this not to discourage you, but rather to hope you will diligently cultivate on Earth. If one day you can become a Heavenly Soldier, I am willing to guide you to the Heavenly Realm and help you build your future."

"Of course, if you are unwilling, there’s no need to force it; staying on Earth is also fine."

He thought to himself that, for his future ventures in the Heavenly Realm, he’d need some base of supporters; relying solely on buying slaves or the distribution from the Heavenly God Clan isn’t realistic.

After all, if one day he becomes a Divine Emperor, he will need to build his own Emperor City, which would require many people.

Moreover, those who could cultivate to the level of a Heavenly General on Earth are indeed people of great potential, and they could have better development within the Heavenly Realm. Breaking through to become a Heavenly King shouldn’t be a problem in the future.

"Seems like this old Daoist can’t be so lazy anymore; I must strive harder," the Eastern Pole Venerable said, smiling, "But in the future, this old Daoist can no longer call himself Venerable; that’s a serious taboo. From now on, just call me East Pole Taoist. When the day comes that I’m truly cultivated to Venerable, I’ll reclaim this title."

He was optimistic and also full of anticipation.

Others, who were not Enlightened, couldn’t understand the feeling of reaching a dead end, left waiting for death.

Now, knowing there was still a path ahead, they were naturally overjoyed.

The Eastern Pole Taoist was delighted, while other cultivators of the Tri-Floral Realm found it a bit suffocating, knowing that despite never having attained Enlightenment, in the Heavenly Realm, they would be less than Heavenly Soldiers; it’s like a horse dying before reaching the mountain.

Li Yi continued, "However, to cultivate to the Heavenly General, relying solely on Daoist skills won’t suffice. This time I returned from the Heavenly Realm with a few Cultivation Methods of the Human Clan. After briefly looking through them, it’s not a problem to advance to Heavenly King if the aptitude is sufficient, but Earth’s resources are inadequate to take you to Heavenly King."

"Even with the blessing of my Heavenly King Palace, reaching Heavenly General would be quite an achievement."

Then he waved his hand.

Ten Treasure Manuals appeared before them.

These were taken from the Heavenly God Treasure House, and naturally, things collected by the Heavenly God Clan were not inferior; there were even some methods leading to the Heavenly Emperor.

However, those paths are almost impossible to traverse, only serving as references for cultivators.

Upon seeing the ten Treasure Manuals, the crowd was both excited and amazed.

Resources with Cultivation Methods, it’s like being fed directly; Taiyi indeed has the courage, not keeping anything private, helping fellow countrymen even when he ascends to wealth.

These people were forcibly brought by Taiyi from the Spiritual Energy-depleted End of Dharma World to the Heavenly Realm.

However, even with Li Yi’s generosity, he could only take them to Heavenly General, and relying on the intrinsic potential of the Human Clan to reach Heavenly King is extremely difficult.

But he thought, leaving a path for advancement is always a good thing, and perhaps someday an exceptionally talented individual will emerge, advancing rapidly once they enter the Heavenly Realm.

"These ten Treasure Manuals, I will leave them in the Tao Court under the care of the East Pole Taoist. Only those who have reached Great Perfection or have the strength of a Demon King Evolver can access them," Li Yi explained, establishing the threshold.

One must know, that Dao is not lightly transmitted.

Though these cultivation methods from the Heavenly Realm are useless to Li Yi, if left unmanaged on Earth, they would cause unrest.

The Eastern Pole Taoist immediately said, "Rest assured, Taiyi, the old Daoist will establish a palace within the Heavenly King Palace dedicated to preserving these ten Heavenly Realm cultivation methods, and will personally assess anyone wishing to learn."

Li Yi nodded in acknowledgment.

This is the advantage of using Enlightened beings; they are like old foxes, instantly grasping things, knowing what to do or not, and understanding discretion.

Hence, he liked using these cultivators, as they are both assured and worry-free. Aside from being a little afraid of death, they never cause trouble.

"Then it’s settled, everyone, cultivate diligently in hopes of one day gathering again in the Heavenly Realm," Li Yi encouraged the group.

The crowd hurriedly stood up, bowing with respect.

At the same time, they formed a rough estimation of Li Yi’s power.

Starting from a Heavenly General.

With such combat power, on Earth, no, in the Lower Realm, he could walk sideways, doing whatever he desired.

Thus, everyone dared not show any disrespect, even if they had shared a good relationship in the past.
