I’ve already granted this opportunity to all the junior brothers of the Zhao Family Martial Arts Hall. To avoid neglecting anyone, I must attend to the two of you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, he took a drop of divine blood and a drop of divine water from the Crimson Golden Five Elements Bracelet and dropped them into the pool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, the pool turned crimson, life essence steaming upward; the air filled with vitality, green grass sprouted from the hard stone floor, beams and pillars sprouted new buds and tender leaves, and even wooden furniture took root again, reborn with life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Others get only one baptism, but you two may endure several.” Li Yi said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Qian and Rong Niang exchanged glances, blushed, and slowly shed their clothes, revealing fair skin, then stepped hesitantly into the steaming pool of life essence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh, sisters, you don’t need to take off your clothes—just step in as you are.” Li Yi paused, momentarily dazzled by the sudden whiteness before him, his mind momentarily lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Big brother, won’t you join us and soak too?” Zhao Qian smiled, eyes filled with shyness yet still bold and warm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew her time with Big Brother was scarce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she wanted to seize every chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rong Niang, soaking in the pool beside her, straightened her waist and blushed: “Big Brother has worked so hard today—he should rest properly. My little sister and I are willing to attend to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It will hurt.” Li Yi smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As long as Big Brother is pleased, a little pain means nothing.” Rong Niang’s face burned red, ashamed of her own boldness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But her words were not yet finished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Qian let out a cry of agony beside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had begun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The divine blood in the pool began to erode their bodies; even diluted, the pain was unbearable for the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Transformation is never easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Rong Niang groaned, feeling her body melt, agony spreading through every limb, her bones as if about to shatter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All prior desires vanished instantly under this pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the two sisters scream in agony, Li Yi remained calm: “The divine blood is cleansing your flesh. Don’t worry—vast life essence will restore you quickly, but pain is inevitable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To avoid this pain, simply let your soul leave your body.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Zhao Qian and Rong Niang stopped struggling, steadied their minds, and released their souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the soul left the body, the body’s pain could no longer be felt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a cheat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Big Brother, why didn’t you tell us sooner?” Zhao Qian’s soul now floated above the pool, both embarrassed and angry—she had hoped to grow closer to Big Brother, but this was not how it turned out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi chuckled: “You didn’t ask. Don’t be upset. Watch your body’s transformation closely. If your flesh doesn’t heal fast enough, I’ll pull you out and increase the divine blood’s concentration. Given your condition, you’ll need at least three transformations to match the Wildland warriors.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Zhao Qian and Rong Niang had cultivated the Evolution Art, their physical bodies remained weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wildland divine blood warriors could endure Daoist spells with bare flesh, as if wearing a defensive Dao artifact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the divine blood’s baptism, their bodies underwent astonishing transformation: flesh melted and regrew, bones shattered and repaired again; though female, their physiques had transformed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it wasn’t enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi took out several more drops of diluted divine blood and cast them into the pool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crimson light steamed upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their transformation continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the first transformation as a foundation, the second was far easier, and the new body was better suited for cultivation—effectively raising their innate talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For people of the Four Seas and Eight Zones, this baptism was vital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their physical foundations were poor, far inferior to cultivators from other worlds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why martial artists of the Four Seas and Eight Zones could only leave their world after reaching a certain realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Big Brother, how long will this last?” Rong Niang’s soul also floated in midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the room was filled with life essence, their souls were unharmed—instead, nourished by the vast energy, they grew stronger than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a great fortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t know—it depends on your bodies. The weaker you are, the longer the transformation takes.” Li Yi said: “Be patient. I’m giving you special treatment—no one else gets this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the second transformation. You can emerge after the third is complete.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright,” Rong Niang and Zhao Qian gave up their thoughts and stayed quietly, waiting for the transformation to end—after all, they couldn’t waste Big Brother’s kindness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi added: “Stay here. Someone outside seems to be looking for me—I’ll go see.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the situation stable, he left the side room without further watching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though unattended, Zhao Qian and Rong Niang could immediately return their souls to their bodies and step out of the pool if anything unusual occurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in San Yang City, Li Yi saw no danger—the demons of the Demon God Realm had all been exterminated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he stepped out of the side room, he saw a two-horned treasure deer emerge from nowhere, its human-like eyes fixed on the room, clearly drawn by the torrent of life essence within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ba Bao Deer.” Li Yi recognized it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the Ba Bao Deer he had raised in his mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had once planned to keep it for future opportunities, but circumstances changed too fast—it had never been useful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the Ba Bao Deer had gained many opportunities by following him and was now a true demonic deer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After Zhao Qian and Rong Niang finish their transformation, drink the remaining pool water.” Li Yi patted the deer’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had raised it so long—it had grown on him. He didn’t mind keeping it longer; perhaps it too would one day find its own fate and achievement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master,” came a voice—a stout middle-aged man hurried over, panting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi glanced at him; instantly, countless silver lightning bolts wove through the air, terrifying in power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Dafu trembled and knelt: “Servant, bows before Master.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jin Dafu, what is it?” Li Yi asked calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There are matters in the mansion I cannot decide. I beg Master to rule on them,” Jin Dafu bowed deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi said: “Stand up and speak.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t interested in the mansion’s affairs—he’d spend little time here—but he couldn’t ignore them entirely; Jin Dafu was his former servant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Dafu listed key matters: martial families wanted to submit, bringing lavish gifts; powerful martial artists wished to sell themselves into slavery and still waited at inns in San Yang City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The mansion doesn’t need so many servants. Reject all such requests from now on.” Li Yi said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Master,” Jin Dafu replied, then asked: “Master, what about Sister Hua?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who is Sister Hua?” Li Yi paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Dafu reminded him: “Master, Sister Hua was the former madam of San Yang City’s brothel quarter.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I remember now,” Li Yi recalled the memory—though he never forgot anything, he didn’t note every person he met.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So Sister Hua came to my mansion as a bed warmer?” Li Yi smiled: “A jest I made long ago has come true.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t realized his power in the Four Seas and Eight Zones had reached this level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like an emperor—his idle words were taken seriously and acted upon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d have to be more careful with his speech.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll meet her. You may go,” Li Yi said, walking toward another courtyard in the mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had once been his bedroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a side room beside it was Sister Hua’s quarters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her placement there showed her unusual status in the mansion—though Li Yi had never acknowledged it, others dared not treat her lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, she was the woman Li Yi had once named—everyone treated her with respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sister Hua sensed great change coming to the Four Seas and Eight Zones—Li Yi’s return proved it. But she had abandoned her madam status and entered this mansion; no matter how the world changed, her only path lay ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was to earn Li Yi’s approval, to climb this towering tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So for weeks, she had meticulously dressed and waited in the courtyard for an opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if expelled, she’d wait for her master’s command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha, years have passed, Sister Hua still holds her charm.” A laugh rang out as a familiar figure strode in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sister Hua in the courtyard froze, then burst into joyful surprise. She suppressed her excitement and knelt: “Handmaiden bows before Master.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master? Am I old?” Li Yi touched his chin and smiled: “But Sister Hua—time has left no mark on you. You’ve grown even fuller, more alluring. You’ve clearly put in effort.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sister Hua blushed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She no longer cultivated; her body naturally changed, and with deliberate care, she leaned toward pleasing men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As long as Master doesn’t dislike me,” she remained humble and submissive, utterly tamed—a sight that stirred a desire to dominate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi’s smile faded slightly, his tone calm: “In the Four Seas and Eight Zones, I’m rarely present. My careless jest led you here—I owe you an apology. Tell me, what do you want? I’ll give you a chance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sister Hua froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn’t realized Li Yi misunderstood—he thought she’d been forced into his mansion by his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But such a thought was understandable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, with a single word from Li Yi, the Four Great Clans and the Zhao Family Martial Arts Hall would all rush to obey him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1714,"2026-06-20T01:27:07.233Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","a7ce1cb7c7d8643b9102fb374af920bc96dea22a2d4b3f74e2a7fc75b7695b76","after-the-sky-fell-chapter-764","after-the-sky-fell-chapter-762",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-the-sky-fell-cover.jpg",{"terms":24},[25,29,33,37,41,45,49,53,57,61,65,69,73,77,81,85,89,93,97,101,105,109,113,117,121,125,129,133,137,141,145],{"id":26,"raw_term":27,"original_term":28},1803422,"Li Yi","李易",{"id":30,"raw_term":31,"original_term":32},1803423,"Zhao Xiaoxiao","趙曉曉",{"id":34,"raw_term":35,"original_term":36},1803424,"Wu Zhen","吳振",{"id":38,"raw_term":39,"original_term":40},1803425,"Zhang Gao","張高",{"id":42,"raw_term":43,"original_term":44},1803426,"Xiang Xiangzi","香湘子",{"id":46,"raw_term":47,"original_term":48},1803427,"Xuan Yuezi","玄月子",{"id":50,"raw_term":51,"original_term":52},1803428,"Bald Daoist","禿道人",{"id":54,"raw_term":55,"original_term":56},1803429,"Taiyi","太易",{"id":58,"raw_term":59,"original_term":60},1803430,"Yun Feizi","雲妃子",{"id":62,"raw_term":63,"original_term":64},1803431,"Du Baizhi","杜白芷",{"id":66,"raw_term":67,"original_term":68},1803432,"Wu Zuohua","武左華",{"id":70,"raw_term":71,"original_term":72},1803433,"Zhou Yu","周煜",{"id":74,"raw_term":75,"original_term":76},1803434,"Cang'erzi","蒼耳子",{"id":78,"raw_term":79,"original_term":80},1803435,"Li Chengyu","李成玉",{"id":82,"raw_term":83,"original_term":84},1803436,"Tai Xianweng","太仙翁",{"id":86,"raw_term":87,"original_term":88},1803437,"Old Daoist Wu","吳老道",{"id":90,"raw_term":91,"original_term":92},1803438,"Sun Boxiu","孫伯修",{"id":94,"raw_term":95,"original_term":96},1803439,"Tianjiang Zi","天江子",{"id":98,"raw_term":99,"original_term":100},1803440,"Sun Fei","孫飛",{"id":102,"raw_term":103,"original_term":104},1803441,"You Nu","憂女",{"id":106,"raw_term":107,"original_term":108},1803442,"Bai You","白幽",{"id":110,"raw_term":111,"original_term":112},1803443,"Liu Ming","劉明",{"id":114,"raw_term":115,"original_term":116},1803444,"Yang Wei","楊偉",{"id":118,"raw_term":119,"original_term":120},1803445,"Ning Wu","寧舞",{"id":122,"raw_term":123,"original_term":124},1803446,"Haili","海力",{"id":126,"raw_term":127,"original_term":128},1803447,"Meiling","梅玲",{"id":130,"raw_term":131,"original_term":132},1803448,"Shan Yi","善翼",{"id":134,"raw_term":135,"original_term":136},1803449,"Golden Feather Demon King","金羽妖王",{"id":138,"raw_term":139,"original_term":140},1803450,"Wang Chengjun","王成軍",{"id":142,"raw_term":143,"original_term":144},1803451,"Li Weiguo","李衛國",{"id":146,"raw_term":147,"original_term":148},1803452,"Miao Huizi","妙慧子"]
