The Post Sky Tipping Era-Chapter 1253 - 1013: All Things Concluded (Part 3)

The Heavenly Venerate of the Heavenly God Clan withdrew his killing intent upon hearing this.

He knew that even if he battled the Taoist Heavenly Venerate today, there would be no result, for no one wished to see another Heavenly Venerate fall.

If he were outmatched, Taiyi Heavenly Venerate would surely come to his aid; if the Taoist Heavenly Venerate were outmatched, the Heavenly Venerates of the three clans along with Thunder God Heavenly Venerate would surely intervene.

Thus, despite his dissatisfaction, he had no choice but to relent.

Seeing the matter settled, Li Yi reached out from afar and retrieved the Chaos Divine Sword, his spoils from defeating Rakshasa Heavenly Venerable, a Chaos Spiritual Treasure considered compensation for himself.

"Since the Heavenly Venerate has returned, I need not worry about the Heavenly God Clan. The favor rendered during the past is considered repaid today. I have mundane affairs unfinished, and I do not wish to dwell long in the Chaos World. Farewell."

He bowed to the crowd and promptly turned to leave decisively.

The crowd watched him depart without attempting to stop him. After all, time in the heavenly abode is infinite, and the Heavenly Venerates of the Heavenly Realm have time to gather, though in time, they may even become lazy in their gatherings.

Li Yi returned to the Heavenly Realm, feeling that everything was different. Now he seemed to act with heavenly authority, capable of shattering a world in an instant, or rebuilding one anew.

The moment a killing thought arose would spell disaster for countless living beings.

The power of a Heavenly Venerate is terrifying, explaining why others choose to dwell long in the Chaos World, so as not to bring harm to the Heavenly Realm, even acting cautiously with subdued murderous intent.

This also explains why Li Yi’s avatar was once wiped out with a mere wave of a Heavenly Venerate’s power, while the Heavenly Venerate’s true form only pinned his avatar in place, refraining from rash action.

If they were genuinely angered, a single strike could pierce through the Ninth Layer of Heaven, leading to the extinction of all races and annihilation of everything.

Li Yi quickly restrained his aura and strength, surveying various locations across the Heavenly Realm. Observing all beings from a Heavenly Venerate’s perspective truly felt different.

He even found many familiar faces instantly, such as Hua Qing.

With a single step forward.

Space could not bind him; with just a flicker, Li Yi appeared within an Imperial Palace.

"Who are you?" A woman within the palace noticed Li Yi’s sudden appearance, her expression changed instantly, and she became alert, urgently activating the Heavenly Emperor Killing Array within the palace, and swiftly notifying Hua Qing.

"No need to be tense, he is the Taiyi Divine Emperor I mentioned to you, no, perhaps he should be called Taiyi Heavenly Venerate now."

Hua Qing immediately moved out. Upon seeing Li Yi, he was instantly taken aback.

Having served as Heavenly Emperor, he was very aware that Li Yi’s abilities had surpassed the Heavenly Emperor, hence his sudden realization that the other party might have reached prominence.

"Hua Qing, you, a learned Heavenly Emperor, truly stand out; you immediately saw that I have reached prominence. Is this lady your wife?" Li Yi smiled: "I’ve come to return some items to you and see if there’s anything you need help with. I always believe that when one attains the Dao, even fowls and dogs ascend."

As he spoke, he opened his palm, revealing the Sword Coin and Time Emperor Furnace already in his hand.

Now, as Taiyi Heavenly Venerate, these items were of no use, so he chose to return them to their original owner.

"Greet Taiyi Heavenly Venerate." The woman hurriedly knelt in reverence, but Li Yi stopped her.

"I always knew you could achieve prominence." Hua Qing’s eyes lit up, bursting with joy.

Taiyi’s attainment meant he would no longer need to hide and evade; having a Heavenly Venerate as a backing would make reclaiming the position of Heavenly Emperor effortless.

Faced with Li Yi’s offerings of the Sword Coin and Time Emperor Furnace, Hua Qing did not refuse but opted to receive them, saying: "It would be perfect to have a Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon as well."

Li Yi chuckled, offering him an armor and an Emperor Spear: "I hope you won’t get yourself killed again."

"This time I won’t, definitely won’t." Hua Qing vowed solemnly.

Li Yi spent some time with him, then said: "I plan to return to Earth, and when I return, I want to reopen the First Layer Heaven. I hope you can come at that time."

"Sure, I’ll definitely go." Hua Qing was quite delighted.

Li Yi nodded, and after leaving, he went to the gathering place of the Heavenly God Clan and extended an invitation to the Guardian Heavenly King Cold Mountain, hoping they would follow him.

Cold Mountain and others naturally were exceedingly joyful; they never imagined that one day they would have the opportunity to follow a Heavenly Venerate.

Li Yi then traveled to Sunset City, where he met Xiang Xiangzi and Xuan Yuezi, explaining the situation. The two Immortals, upon seeing Li Yi had truly broken through to the Heavenly Venerate Realm, were overjoyed.

They understood the peril Li Yi faced prior; only by becoming a Heavenly Venerate could it all end. Decades slipped by, and the man who once sought the Dao returned as the supreme of the Heavenly Realm.

Li Yi spent several days with them, then expressed his desire to visit Earth, inviting the two Immortals to join him.

With a deep-seated attachment to Earth, he crossed realms and returned.

Since then, the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds gradually began to circulate the name of Taiyi Heavenly Venerate, and shortly thereafter, the Ninth Layer Heaven was reopened within the Heavenly Realm, becoming Taiyi Heavenly Venerate’s Dao hall, with a steady stream of cultivators being escorted by Taiyi Heavenly Venerate from myriad realms.

Also, because Taiyi Heavenly Venerate enjoyed wandering across realms, saving all beings, he earned another title: Savior Venerable.

The End.
