I came late at night and disturbed your cultivation,” Li Yi returned the bow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miaohui Zi said: “This is your domain, True Person. You have returned home—how could you be disturbing me? I should thank you. Had it not been for your aid, I would have perished in the End Dharma Era; I would never have awakened again today.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this time, she had learned all that had transpired, and her gratitude toward Li Yi was heartfelt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It was but a small favor,” Li Yi waved dismissively. “Besides, I received much help from you and the other Immortal Maidens.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Regardless, you have granted me rebirth. From now on, should you need anything, command me without hesitation—I will serve without complaint,” Miaohui Zi pledged, willing to join the other Immortal Maidens in serving Li Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And she did not merely speak—she extended a finger, and a thread of magic power wrapped in a spell shot straight toward Li Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the Self-Sacrifice Spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miaohui Zi willingly bound her life to Li Yi’s through the spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her view, Xiangxiang Zi, Xuan Yue Zi, and even Yun Fei Zi had already taken the Self-Sacrifice Spell—adding one more made no difference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi did not refuse; he reached out, seized the spell, and now bore another mark upon his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet his strength no longer required such a spell to control a Daoist—still, since he already held dozens of Self-Sacrifice Spells, one more made no difference, so he accepted it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, one must consider others’ feelings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>?￠O\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Once I reach Three Flowers Converging at the Crown and Five Qi Turning Toward the Origin, all these Self-Sacrifice Spells upon me will be lifted. I accept your spell today not to control your life, but to reassure you,” Li Yi said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miaohui Zi smiled: “We Seven Immortal Maidens have already pledged that even when you lift the Self-Sacrifice Spells, we will still follow you, seeking the Great Dao together.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miaohui Zi speaks truth,” came a familiar voice. A mature, alluring Daoist priestess stepped out from the pavilion, smiling as she glided upon auspicious clouds, her body radiant with seven colors, like a celestial maiden, dazzlingly beautiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiangxiang Zi.” Li Yi looked at her. “Even so, the Dao Heaven Sect is gone, and the Xuan Huang Seal is destroyed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn you, you scoundrel—do you disdain us, these beautiful Immortal Maidens who follow you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiangxiang Zi hurried forward, her face full of pouting sorrow. When she reached Li Yi’s side, she tiptoed and whispered into his ear: “Taiyi, don’t you ever dream of one day becoming our Dao partner, sharing ultimate bliss? We’ve studied the Dual Cultivation Arts—we only lack the chance to put them into practice.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiangxiang Zi, stop your nonsense,” came a cold voice. Another Daoist priestess, elegant and icy, stepped out from the pavilion and rebuked Xiangxiang Zi’s reckless words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiangxiang Zi covered her mouth and giggled: “Taiyi, Xuan Yue Zi is jealous—she’s petty, can’t bear sharing you. But I won’t mind. As long as you’re happy, I’ll do anything.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Xiangzi covered her mouth and giggled: “Tai Yi, Xuan Yuezi is definitely jealous—she’s petty and can’t stand sharing you, but I’m not like that; as long as you’re happy, Tai Yi, I’ll do anything.” At these words, Xuan Yuezi’s fair face instantly flushed red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“See? She blushed—you hit the mark,” Xiangxiang Zi laughed louder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Yue Zi was furious: “You’re the one stirring up trouble.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had Li Yi not been here, she would have seized Xiangxiang Zi and locked her away, to silence her endless chatter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if she truly moved to act, her strength was equal to Xiangxiang Zi’s—she could not overpower her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi now spoke: “I came to Dao Mountain seeking your aid. I brought my mother’s soul across realms, and now her soul is nourished by incense—but her physical body was destroyed. Becoming a deity through incense is not the true path. Is there any way to reshape her body?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he possessed the Life Cradle, which could regenerate a body using his own genetic template, he could not obtain it now—his mother’s original body had been destroyed before she crossed realms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, the Immortal Maidens immediately grew serious, abandoning their playful moods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I formed my body from the Seven-Colored Stone. Miaohui Zi’s body came from the Crimson Gold Stone Golem—but both are not flesh and blood; they are celestial substances transformed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiangxiang Zi raised her arm; as her fair skin faded, multicolored light emerged beneath, swirling with countless celestial energies, her structure utterly unlike an ordinary human’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet for one who has cultivated the Primordial Spirit, abandoning the mortal body is natural—by this stage, the mortal frame can no longer contain such power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Take Li Yi himself: though he appears flesh and blood, his blood is divine, his bones rival Dao artifacts, his cells brim with energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If your mother does not insist on an ordinary mortal body,” Xiangxiang Zi added, “we can forge a body using Life Water combined with Divine Blood. This is also the plan we devised for Shenyin Zi and Wumeng Zi—Divine Blood is the finest celestial treasure, and Life Water holds boundless vitality; together, they are perfect for shaping a body.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What drawbacks does such a body have?” Li Yi asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Yue Zi replied: “None. It will benefit your mother’s future cultivation—endless advantages. Life Water and Divine Blood are rare beyond measure; only the Wildlands hold them. In other worlds, finding materials to reshape a body is nearly impossible.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then use this method to reshape my mother’s body. But her soul is still weak—will that cause problems?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No hindrance,” Xuan Yue Zi said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi then added: “Since we’re at it, please help this master reshape his body as well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then summoned Tianyi Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Yulian, please emerge,” he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A ray of Buddhist light shone from within Tianyi Palace; a primordial spirit flew out—Master Yulian, palms together, eyes lowered, face serene with compassion: “Why have you summoned me, layperson?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Last time, Master Yulian fought the Demon King and lost your body—what a pity. Today, I come to ask these Immortal Maidens to help you restore your form and continue your cultivation path,” Li Yi said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I see. You are thoughtful,” Yulian said after a pause, expressing her gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she could endure without a body, she could never attain Bodhi in this life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This person’s strength is immense.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Immortal Maidens studied the unfamiliar Master Yulian, each silently thinking the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was clearly not a Daoist, yet even without a body, her primordial spirit glowed like a divine Buddha incarnate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A perfect completion—just one step from Dao,” Xuan Yue Zi thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiangxiang Zi said: “Even such a master had her body shattered—the Demon King’s power is truly terrifying. But Taiyi, do not worry. Both I and Xuan Yue Zi are one step from perfect completion; with incense power, we can certainly stand against a Demon King.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her three Dao flowers were nearly complete—two fully bloomed, only the primordial spirit flower remaining. Yet with incense power, she could rival a perfect completion, provided the incense never ceased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you cross realms again, please let me and Xiangxiang Zi accompany you,” Xuan Yue Zi said earnestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had realized: Li Yi now faced enemies unlike any before—he needed top-tier allies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi said: “This crossing, I truly need your aid. Moreover, I’ve brought back all the other Daoists to Earth—they’re now restoring their cultivation. When they’ve recovered, I’ll return to the Wildlands to retrieve the Crimson Gold Dao Artifacts. That will be the start of my counterattack, my vengeance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He revealed his plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After so long of planning, it was time to show his fangs—and now that his parents were reunited in the incense world, he had no more worries.\u003C\u002Fp>",1752,"2026-06-20T01:27:08.613Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","e123edd394980e7d6a41ff315176dbb68cfcef669e2faf771d58de36167c7aa1","after-the-sky-fell-chapter-839","after-the-sky-fell-chapter-837",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-the-sky-fell-cover.jpg"]
