Chapter 1180: Chapter 1180

All races with powerful bloodlines face a common issue in the Heavenly Realm, which is that after prolonged reproduction, the bloodline gradually degrades unless during this period, a new Heavenly Venerate emerges to reactivate the entire clan’s bloodline.

But that is almost an impossible event; a Heavenly Venerate is rare even in tens of thousands of years.

Besides, there is another way to slow down bloodline degradation, which is the sudden emergence of a new direct lineage of the royal family within the clan, and this bloodline is not widely spread within the clan.

Just like the case of Li Yi.

Thus, even though Li Yi’s origins are unclear, the Heavenly God Clan did not hesitate to absorb him, making him part of the direct royal lineage of the Heavenly God Clan, and even Emperor Haoguang was willing to publicly back him up.

"Cold Mountain, the matter of Taiyi is for you to handle. If anything comes up, you can find me; I’m always free in the World Boat," said Divine Might Heavenly King, who had finished his affairs.

He was about to leave, return to the World Boat, and fulfill his duties.

Li Yi’s safety would be the responsibility of Cold Mountain Heavenly King.

"Rest assured, with me here, there will be no problems." Cold Mountain Heavenly King said.

"Naturally." Divine Might Heavenly King laughed.

With the status of a direct royal lineage of the Heavenly God Clan, along with a team of Heavenly Generals and a Heavenly King, in the Heavenly Realm, unless venturing into certain special places or dangerous areas, one could almost walk freely.

Previously, Taiyi was left in the Secret Realm due to many reasons, such as the guardian not having arrived during these ten days and the inheritance being untaken.

"Taiyi, if you have any misunderstandings in cultivation in the future, you can consult Cold Mountain Heavenly King. She is not only responsible for your safety but also for guiding your cultivation. I shall take my leave." Divine Might Heavenly King said.

"I bid farewell to the Heavenly King." Li Yi performed a courteous bow.

"Haha, such a courteous direct lineage of the royal family is very rare." Divine Might Heavenly King nodded with satisfaction and then left laughing.

Li Yi dared not be careless; even though he joined the Heavenly God Royal Family, he was still alone and dared not act arrogantly. It’s only when he becomes Divine Emperor Taiyi that he would have the capital to show off.

For now, he acts humbly, as casually any Heavenly King could crush him.

Subsequently, Li Yi met with his guardian team.

Ten Heavenly Generals of the Heavenly God Clan, five male and five female; the men were tall and sturdy, full of divine nature, mighty and powerful, each an elite Divine General; the women were tall, noble, sacred, and their combat power was also extraordinary.

Each Divine General was dressed in battle armor, holding Heavenly General Weapons, fully armed.

Coupled with their Heavenly God Clan bloodline, even against enemies in the Heavenly General Realm, they could swiftly defeat them.

"Indeed, the characteristics of each race are still quite evident." Li Yi observed, thinking to himself.

"Greetings, Taiyi." At this time, all ten Divine Generals respectfully bowed to Li Yi.

Li Yi nodded slightly: "There’s no need for formality, and I beg your pardon for any trouble in guarding me in the future. At our first meeting, I haven’t prepared any gifts for you all, so these Nine Heavens Divine Water, half a pound each, are my meeting gift."

Then, he took out five pounds of Nine Heavens Divine Water and handed out half a pound as a gift.

Faced with Li Yi’s gesture, the ten Divine Generals were all surprised. Unexpectedly, they still received a meeting gift, and half a pound of Nine Heavens Divine Water is a considerable treasure for a Heavenly General, enough to purchase several Heavenly General Weapons.

"You have been quite generous, giving away five pounds of Nine Heavens Divine Water just like that." Hua Qing secretly observed and gasped secretly.

"Is it not necessary to be generous? They are going to risk their lives for you. Is half a pound of Nine Heavens Divine Water a lot? I did plan to give one pound each, but I thought it would be difficult to reward them later, so I gave up." Li Yi said.

"Yes, indeed. Although you haven’t read many books, this suits your character very well. Sometimes being generous can resolve many potential dangers and bring unexpected gains." Hua Qing nodded, though thinking Li Yi was wasteful, she didn’t see anything wrong.

After all, Li Yi had always lived , and though this character could sometimes make him a fool, it brought many benefits, with numerous people willing to fight for him.

The road to cultivation is long, unlike mortals who only live a few decades; long-term considerations are needed, not just immediate gain.

Investing some money to win this group’s hearts, even if not won over, leaves a good impression and is helpful for the future.

The Divine Generals did not refuse but accepted the half-pound of Nine Heavens Divine Water with some joy, also gaining much favor towards this new direct royal family member of the Heavenly God Clan.

"No need for thanks, and you came at the right time, I’m currently comprehending Circulation Demon God Skill, which involves developing Skillful Gates and operating Divine Power, I don’t quite understand it. I ask all the Divine Generals, who have studied for years, to kindly advise me today."

Li Yi then took this opportunity to consult the ten Divine Generals on the path of cultivation, leveraging this occasion to strengthen their bond and quickly familiarize himself through cultivation.

"If Taiyi need us for anything upon returning to the clan, just speak up, we will not refuse." The Divine Generals chimed in, willing to accompany Li Yi in cultivation.

Building friendship with a Heavenly God Royal Family member is greatly beneficial for them too.

After all, the immense potential of a direct royal lineage member of the Heavenly God Clan is destined to become a Heavenly King, with even opportunities to explore the position of Divine Emperor in the future.

"Excellent, please follow me, everyone." At this moment, Li Yi was eager, taking the ten Divine Generals to cultivate.

Seeing this scene, Cold Mountain Heavenly King did not speak much, a hint of appreciation in her eyes.

As a direct member, it should be so, focusing on cultivation, enhancing cultivation, and achieving Heavenly King status as soon as possible. Arranging five Female Divine Generals in the guardian team this time also had their own tasks.

After they become familiar, offspring can be propagated, leaving behind this branch of royal lineage.

However, the future is long, and this matter is not urgent for now.

"Taiyi, in order to open the Skillful Gate, the most important thing is to find the position of the Skillful Gate. Do not act recklessly, or it may damage the Divine Body and hinder cultivation."

"That’s right, the Skillful Gate is difficult to determine, because among all things in the world, there are no two identical beings. Our Divine Bodies are extremely mysterious; sometimes at the same location, someone may open a Skillful Gate, while another may not."

"We can only pass on our experience to you; how to do it will depend on you, Taiyi."

Ten Divine Generals sat solemnly on Xiangyun, surrounding Li Yi and explaining their cultivation experiences to him.

Although Li Yi had previously opened a hundred and fifty acupoints, it was all the result of his hard work and accumulation. During the process, when acupoints were opened incorrectly, his body was injured, and he had to recuperate before continuing.

Moreover, previously, the Bloodline Power was not strong enough to cause severe backlash. If now, Li Yi opened an acupoint incorrectly, he would probably need to take a good amount of time to recuperate.

However, after Li Yi received the Heavenly God Clan inheritance, he felt he must transform the acupoints into Skillful Gates and cultivate anew.

His previous training was very rough, most areas were not perfect.

"Listening to all of you, I realize I’ve taken many detours on my cultivation path. Now I plan to re-cultivate the Skillful Gates, and I ask all of you Divine Generals to protect me."

At this moment, Li Yi spoke and suddenly shouted to unlock the Big and Small Ruyi Skill, instantly revealing a Divine Body measuring a hundred feet.

Endless purple lightning coiled around his body, and the arm rings formed by seven-colored Divine Light shone brightly. He summoned wind and called forth lightning, revealing an ancient wilderness aura unmistakably.

"Indeed the direct lineage of the Royal Family, such strong bloodline, even makes me feel apprehensive."

"Such majesty is absolutely not comparable to an ordinary Heavenly General."

"Taiyi is re-cultivating the Skillful Gates, I wonder how many he can ultimately open."

The Divine Generals expressed amazement as they anticipated the potential of this royal direct lineage and how it differs from the normal Heavenly God Clan.

"Profound is the gate of many wonders." At this moment, Li Yi’s Primordial Spirit Light radiated as he deduced the method to open the Skillful Gates.

With the previous acupoints as guidance, reopening the Skillful Gates was quite easy.

It took just a shout.

The first large acupoint in his body suddenly shattered, then Divine Power rebuilt it, transforming it into an invisible large door that reappeared. This ancient door was densely covered with many meridians and blood vessels, along with countless Divine Power, Mana, and Divine Blood flowing into it.

This power filled the entire Skillful Gate until it started to overflow.

Li Yi shouted again, and this time the second large acupoint shattered, transforming into another Skillful Gate, with the previously overflowing powers entering the second Skillful Gate.

After the acupoints were re-cultivated into Skillful Gates, he discovered the ability to accommodate Mana, Divine Blood, and Divine Power increased.

This was the advantage of receiving a complete inheritance, far superior to his previous rough ways.

Then, the third acupoint, the fourth acupoint, the fifth acupoint... continued to shatter and reopen. In just one breath’s time, Li Yi had opened twenty Skillful Gates.

Afterward, he took a deep breath.

The rolling Spiritual Energy in the Heavenly God Secret Realm swept in, washing away the fatigue within his body and replenishing the depletion from cultivation.

After catching his breath, Li Yi shouted once more, channeling Divine Power, and enfolded by purple bloodline power, shattered the acupoints and opened Skillful Gates, unimpeded.

In this one breath, he opened thirty Skillful Gates.

Though the Skillful Gates were opened, Li Yi had not yet condensed the Divine Blood, so the places of the Skillful Gates were dimly lit, but the foundation had been laid, waiting for subsequent completion.

"Though this is a re-cultivation of the Skillful Gates, isn’t the speed of opening them too fast? Has he already opened thirty Skillful Gates?"

"The newly returned royal Taiyi can open acupoints without inheritance; is this the terror of direct lineage bloodlines? If it were me, there’s no way I could have explored this far alone."

"I can’t imagine what he relied on previously to cultivate to the Heavenly General Realm."

The Divine Generals marveled and were quite surprised at the same time.

Li Yi closed his eyes to relax for a moment, then took a deep breath and continued to re-open the Skillful Gates. By this point, he already felt that his Mana had made considerable progress.

This was just a re-cultivation of a small portion.

There were still many acupoints in his body not yet re-cultivated. He must complete them all in the next few months.

Li Yi inhaled the surging Spiritual Energy and seriously began cultivating again.

After reopening up to fifty acupoints, Li Yi’s speed of re-cultivation noticeably slowed because the Skillful Gates were interconnected, requiring precise manipulation of Divine Power, so there is no room for error.

Otherwise, there would be a risk of shattering the Divine Body.

Yet even so, Li Yi could re-cultivate ten acupoints within a day.

At this rate, within three months, he will be able to complete the task. By that time, he will be able to learn how to arrange the Skillful Gates, set up Killing Arrays, and master the genuine Divine Skills and Good Techniques of the Heavenly God Clan.
