I’ve always called them acupoints.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The profoundest of the profound, the gate of all wonders—hence, wondrous gates,” Shenwei said. “But the name doesn’t matter; as long as the meaning is the same. You must have received some inherited memories, or you could never have opened over a hundred wondrous gates in the human body.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi fell silent upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His method of opening acupoints came from the inherited memories of a god from the Wildlands; in those memories, the thunder itself had all three hundred and sixty-five acupoints illuminated, capable of striking down sun, moon, and stars, reversing heaven and earth, mountains and rivers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed this inherited memory wasn’t without origin—the true method lay in the hands of the Tian Shen clan of the Heavenly Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Opening three hundred and sixty-five wondrous gates is the foundation of our Tian Shen clan's strength,\" Shenwei said. \"Taiyi, as a direct descendant of the Tian Shen royal lineage, achieving this alone is astonishing talent; many heavenly generals, even with complete inheritance, manage only a few dozen wondrous gates.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the Tian Shen clan, all strong cultivators could open acupoints.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi thought to himself upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this was normal—he had only pursued this path because he received the inheritance of a god; it was pure accident. His ability to open so many acupoints wasn’t due to exceptional talent, but because he harnessed the incense power of the Incense World, creating something from nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had tried to open them one by one himself, he’d likely have managed only a few dozen at most by now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What level of combat power would be achieved if all three hundred and sixty-five wondrous gates in the divine body were opened?” Li Yi asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shenwei Tianwang smiled. “If all are opened, combat power reaches the peak of Tianwang. Combined with bloodline power, you’ll be unmatched within your realm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So this is the unique Tianwang path of the Tian Shen clan,” Li Yi remarked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truly, a powerful race of the Heavenly Realm—follow the cultivation path properly, and you’re guaranteed at least a Tianwang in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But this applies only to ordinary Tian Shen. Taiyi, you are a direct descendant of the Tian Shen royal lineage. If you open all three hundred and sixty-five wondrous gates, awaken your royal bloodline, and fill every gate with divine blood, you will transcend the Tianwang realm and become a Divine Emperor of our clan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shenwei said: “This path is accessible only to royal descendants because only their bloodline can possibly fill all the wondrous gates. Ordinary royal clan members have virtually no hope.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huh? Li Yi’s face instantly showed shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the royal descendants were this unique—they had a guaranteed path to Divine Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been agonizing over his lack of a future path, and now, in an instant, Shenwei Tianwang had given him a surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But Taiyi, don’t get too excited. The path exists, but not everyone can walk it. Many royal descendants reach Tianwang peak, yet still lack sufficient divine blood to become Divine Emperors—they cannot fill all the gates,” Shenwei said. “The later you go, the more divine blood you need. The Tian Shen royal lineage can only produce a finite amount. Without opportunity or wondrous methods, the Divine Emperor realm remains an impassable abyss, halting you completely.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I understand. But having a path at all is still good,” Li Yi said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s like cultivation arts—countless people cultivate, yet not all become immortals. Some reach Nascent Soul or Tribulation Crossing and hit a wall; only a few make it to the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at least there’s hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without being a Tian Shen royal descendant, you wouldn’t even have this chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ha! Good. Taiyi, as a Tian Shen royal descendant, now that you’ve received the inheritance, you have a path to Divine Emperor—and guaranteed at least a Tianwang. No other Heavenly Realm cultivator has this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shenwei finished speaking, flipped his hand, and produced a golden scripture. On its cover was engraved a line: Zhou Tian Shen Mo Miao Fa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Drip your blood onto it—the inheritance will awaken.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi nodded, flicked out a drop of purple blood. The moment it touched the scripture, the golden book blazed with brilliant golden light, and a dormant will within it suddenly revived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the will of a Divine Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi’s identity was confirmed. The next instant, a beam of transmission light shone forth, enveloping him completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi felt countless cultivation insights flood into his Primordial Spirit; his mind suddenly filled with new memories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These memories were all about the cultivation methods of the Zhou Tian Shen Mo Miao Fa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opening wondrous gates, refining divine blood, and wielding divine power—this was a complete cultivation system. As long as you followed the steps, opening three hundred and sixty-five acupoints was merely a matter of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, it also depended on one’s comprehension. For instance, the method of opening wondrous gates progressed from simple to complex; the later stages grew increasingly intricate. Without sufficient talent, even if the method lay before you, you couldn’t learn it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Li Yi had no such problem. After being purified by the purple blood, opening acupoints posed him no difficulty whatsoever. The only uncertainty was whether his divine blood could fill all the gates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most exquisite part was the method of wielding divine power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Use the wondrous gates as stars, the divine body as foundation, array them into a grand formation,” Li Yi read through the memories, stunned by the application of divine power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had glimpsed fragments of this mystery when he received the god’s inheritance in the Wildlands, but only now did he fully understand the use of divine power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tian Shen clan truly deserved their reputation as a powerful race with a Heavenly Sovereign in residence—their depth was terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi saw a wondrous method of divine power application: Reversing Life and Death Force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arrange seven wondrous gates within the body, gather the essence of sun and moon, the qi of heaven and earth, then unleash divine power—it could break through death qi and extend mortal lifespan, even useful for cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this was merely one minor application among countless others in the Zhou Tian Shen Mo Miao Fa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was another method, called the Tian Shen Breaking Realm Great Art.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this method was extremely difficult to perform—it required opening one hundred and eight wondrous gates, and filling each with divine blood. This was nearly impossible except for Tian Shen royal descendants, and even then, only after reaching Tianwang realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once activated, it could forcibly lower an opponent’s realm—even within the same realm. If you were fierce enough, you could fight a battle and crush a Tianwang-level enemy down to Tianjiang level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Divine Nation Creation Art, Tian Shen Plucking Stars Hand, World Step, Divine Power Opening Heaven.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more Li Yi studied, the more astonished he became.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tian Shen clan’s mastery of their divine power had reached an unimaginable level. Once the three hundred and sixty-five wondrous gates were lit like stars and arranged into formations, their applications were boundless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once learned, it would benefit you for life—superior to all other arts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if your talent was extraordinary enough, you could innovate further, crafting your own unique formations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Zhou Tian Shen Mo Miao Fa was merely the foundation; the grand structure you ultimately built depended entirely on your own cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Incredible. Truly incredible. Such a wonder-art exists in this world,” Li Yi exclaimed repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shenwei Tianwang smiled. “This is the art passed down by the Heavenly Sovereign—it is naturally wondrous beyond measure. But Taiyi, this art is strictly forbidden to be transmitted outside. Not even I may do so.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I understand why it can’t be passed on externally—but why even forbid Tianwang? Tianwang are also Tian Shen clan members. Don’t they know this wonder-art?” Li Yi asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am not a direct descendant. My inherited knowledge is incomplete. Some methods are accessible only to Tian Shen royal descendants—no, only those who can learn them,” Shenwei said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I see. The purer the bloodline, the more inherited memories one can access?” Li Yi realized. “No wonder I didn’t see the method for arranging all three hundred and sixty-five wondrous gates.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The inherited memories he received only allowed him to form arrays up to one hundred and eight gates—nothing beyond that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, it’s because you’re only at Tianjiang realm. Only when you reach Tianwang will you gain access to more inherited knowledge. This restriction isn’t a disadvantage—it’s protection. Your current strength cannot support the use of these advanced methods. Forcing yourself to learn them would shatter your divine body—net loss,” Shenwei said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These inherited teachings alone will keep me occupied for a long time,” Li Yi said. “Thank you, Shenwei Tianwang, for imparting this art. I cannot repay you in words—should I ever have the chance, I will repay your kindness.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless of Shenwei Tianwang’s original motives in helping him, he had genuinely granted Li Yi the identity of a Tian Shen royal descendant and provided the very inheritance he needed most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One judges by deeds, not intentions—so Li Yi would remember this debt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We are of the same clan—why thank me so formally? Besides, I believe you won’t take long to become a renowned Tianwang of our clan,” Shenwei Tianwang said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt he had gained immensely: he had defeated Rakshasa’s Yujue Tianwang, brought a royal descendant into the Tian Shen clan, and forged a bond with Taiyi—all in one stroke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Taiyi, since you’ve received the inheritance, I’ll reclaim the golden scripture. This artifact must be returned to the clan—it cannot remain outside long. By the way, let me introduce you to someone else.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shenwei Tianwang turned to look behind him: “Han Shan Tianwang, please come forward.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A piercing cold wind swept through the sea of clouds, and a beautiful woman, clad in blue battle armor, tall and slender, nearly three meters in height, arrived with the wind, her face icy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shenwei Tianwang, your duty is done. Depart now. From this point on, I will guard the Tian Shen royal descendant Taiyi,” Han Shan Tianwang said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ha! Han Shan, don’t be so cold. Let’s sit, chat, exchange feelings. Still, congratulations on taking this guard duty—I recall many Tianwang were vying for it,” Shenwei Tianwang laughed. “A new royal descendant bloodline—something unseen in one hundred thousand years. Many ancient Divine Emperors in the clan are delighted.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With this bloodline, our Tian Shen clan will surely see great changes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Shan Tianwang said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She understood perfectly what a new royal descendant bloodline meant. Had it not been for clan rules, several ancient Divine Emperors would have sent three Tianwang to guard him. This guard duty was extremely important to her—if she failed, she would be replaced immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1917,"2026-06-20T01:27:08.613Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","690760d05ee54cb762cfa86a653df60b00f12a028af55ac7e11334fdc05ee4cb","after-the-sky-fell-chapter-990","after-the-sky-fell-chapter-988",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-the-sky-fell-cover.jpg"]
