I wonder whether it is his extraordinary skill—or the boundless potential of this divine tree.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sighing, she looked up at the radiant golden divine tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any Dao artifact infused with divine wood undergoes astonishing transformation, ascending to a higher level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s a pity the people of this barbaric world don’t know how to utilize it; otherwise, such a massive divine tree could never have survived this long—it would have been felled long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“An instrument of Dao attainment is not the limit of this world. Though divine wood is astonishing, this barbaric world holds countless superior materials. The divine sword in Immortal Lady’s hands is no simple thing—it was forged with three hundred jin of crimson gold, demon beast bones, earth essence, and copper from the Western Mountains. It blends the Five Phases, aided by Yin and Yang, refined day and night for eighty-one days to complete.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Tian Gong Daoist spoke: “Old Dao feared its power might be too great to control, so I removed its spirit. Otherwise, even with Immortal Lady’s strength, whether she could tame this divine sword remains uncertain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You old Daoist, are you looking down on this Immortal Lady?” Xiang Xiangzi raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not at all—I merely wish to avoid accidents,” Tian Gong Daoist smiled. “This divine sword is unique: it is neither a crimson-gold Dao artifact, nor an immortal artifact, nor an instrument of Dao attainment. Thus, combining the characteristics of this world, I have named it Crimson-Gold Divine Artifact, which is further divided into upper, middle, and lower grades.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The one in Immortal Lady’s hands is a lower-grade Crimson-Gold Divine Artifact.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Only lower-grade?” Xiang Xiangzi asked. “When will you forge an upper-grade?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forge an upper-grade Divine Artifact? Old Dao cannot do it. But I have some confidence in crafting a middle-grade Crimson-Gold Divine Artifact—if Tai Yi helps. According to my calculations, to forge a middle-grade Divine Artifact, you must use a deity as material.” Tian Gong Daoist’s eyes gleamed. “Use a deity as the main ingredient, supplemented by rare spirit ores, and you can produce a middle-grade Divine Artifact—one swing of which unleashes the power of a deity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You old Daoist are truly insane—wanting to forge a weapon from a deity!” Xiang Xiangzi’s eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Gong Daoist said: “Why not? A deity of this world is immensely powerful—its body is the greatest weapon. If one obtains a deity’s corpse, a slight modification turns it into a formidable divine weapon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One deity can forge a middle-grade Crimson-Gold Divine Artifact; ten deities would surely forge an upper-grade. If you don’t believe me, one day when Tai Yi kills a deity, hand the corpse to Old Dao—I’ll make you all gasp.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he wore an expectant expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, old Dao, this isn’t the time for such talk—your three divine wood crimson-gold furnaces are fine, right? They feel like they’re about to explode.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is a sign that a new Crimson-Gold Divine Artifact is about to be forged—not an explosion,” Tian Gong Daoist chuckled, stroking his beard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He now forged lower-grade Crimson-Gold Divine Artifacts with ease, without difficulty, even able to multitask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he said, the next moment, three radiant glows burst forth from the divine wood crimson-gold furnaces, appearing in the heavens, their scorching aura and ten-thousand-zhang golden light shooting outward in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For such phenomena, the people of Shenmu City were long accustomed—they had witnessed this too many times in the past half-year; discerning merchants already understood the source of the spectacle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone within the city lord’s mansion was forging powerful divine weapons. Though many merchants wished to purchase one at great cost, all requests were refused—such treasures were destined not to leave the city, or they would bring great trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The radiant glows in the sky faded, revealing three Crimson-Gold Divine Artifacts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A battle armor, a long spear, and a great axe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Immortal Lady Xuan Yuezi, choose one,” Tian Gong Daoist smiled. “It is Tai Yi’s command. The remaining Crimson-Gold Divine Artifacts I shall store and deliver to Tai Yi later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Xiangzi had chosen a divine sword; now it was Xuan Yuezi’s turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll take this armor,” Xuan Yuezi decided, knowing she already possessed the demonic king weapon Bao Yue Pan, so she chose the divine armor for herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Gong Daoist nodded, waved his hand, and sent the armor to Xuan Yuezi, then stored the other two Crimson-Gold Divine Artifacts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet after completing this, he did not stop—he continued to open the furnaces and forge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His task was heavy, far from easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, several high-level cultivators assisted him, immediately delivering various forging materials, already pre-mixed—saving Tian Gong Daoist considerable time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this moment, Li Yi was no longer in the barbaric world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt he had presided over the Crimson-Gold Kingdom long enough; the past half-year had established order, and all proceeded normally, so now he boarded the immortal warship, opened a cross-realm gate, and returned to Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon entering Earth’s sky,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi sensed an evil aura pervading the heavens and earth—he had not felt this before, but now that he had become a deity, he could perceive it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The evil aura had always been there; he simply lacked the power to sense it earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is this the pollution issue?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi immediately recalled the words of the Hua Qing wraith within the knife-coin. After a year of nourishment in the barbaric world, the knife-coin had recovered seven or eight tenths—it would soon be fully repaired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Li Yi did not dwell on the pollution issue; the changes on Earth over the past year were immense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no powerful enemies invading,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earth had wildly recovered and rebuilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fusion of technology and cultivation had accelerated reconstruction; today’s Earth was utterly transformed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Riding the immortal warship, Li Yi flew past several cities already restored to their former glory; cultivators had begun returning across realms, and Earth’s once-teetering fate had swiftly evolved into a grand cultivation realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Earth’s people were inherently evil, one could not help but admire their resilience—even after their homeland was reduced to ruin, they rebuilt it anew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If we could resolve the pollution issue, it would be extraordinary,” Li Yi thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The evil aura within the heavens and earth caused him great discomfort, clashing violently with his own divine nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi’s immortal warship arrived at Tianchang City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the massive return of Earth’s people from the Four Seas and Eight Continents, and the establishment of Dao lineages, Tianchang City now teemed with cultivation experts and prodigies—also aided by the protection of a grand array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Li Yi entered Tianchang City’s boundaries, the sense of repulsion diminished greatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For here, the polluted spiritual energy was sealed off.\u003C\u002Fp>",1457,"2026-06-20T01:27:08.613Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","0994f55b7dcef96e54a43091bf7389fa9bdbc935d0539e5a951f053620f13965","after-the-sky-fell-chapter-914","after-the-sky-fell-chapter-912",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-the-sky-fell-cover.jpg"]
